Quote:Influential “thought leader” psychiatrists and major psychiatry institutions, by their own recent admissions, have been repeatedly wrong about illness/disorder validity, biochemical causes and drug treatments.

In several cases, they have been discovered to be on the take from drug companies, yet continue to be taken seriously by the mainstream media.

I can see this being the case in some people.

That was my first thought on this.

Quote:Document written by Colonel J R Rees October 1940 Strategic Planning for Mental Health.


Document - PDF File


Key quotes in the text cover....."Infiltration of social organisations, Our attack on the professions, Long term plan of propaganda, Personality tests for Members of Parliament, Keep [this] Council and our true work hidden.....don't mention Mental Hygiene but do use Mental Health and commonsense....Experiment with films...the right propaganda.....the Oxford Group....Go to it."

This document formulates a hidden and subversive plan to implement Mental Hygiene on British people and society. By Mental Hygiene they mean to re-educate, re-frame, force people into their new way of thinking. Those achieving the new mind-set are deemed hygienic or in a clean state of mental health. [The inference from other documents on this subject and period is that those who do not submit to the new society and hive thought process will be eradicated under the eugenics programmes.]

Rees was involved with the Tavistock Institute and in 1948 was President of the World Federation of Mental Health. Tavistock is a key root of mind control and psychiatric subversion as developed by the Frankfurt School which researched ways of destroying western christian cultures by means of psychological attack on families and society..

Appreciate you sharing that thought FlickerOfLight and certainly some food for thought there (have always liked this chart when it comes to considering unusual things).

One thing's for sure some extremely dodgy and extremely misanthropic 'testing' went on and lots of leading psychiatrists were happily involved in it (see first quote in first post).

Apparently 'virtually no aspect of potential control of human beings went untested' and tens of thousands of people were experimented on including military soldiers, civilians, inmates, hospital patients and children - all without consent.

Don't know if you've seen it but would certainly recommend this film on the subject.

Regarding government documentary evidence despite all the (very) disturbing experiments described many FOIA researchers suspect they were just the tip of the iceberg as Richard Helms ordered the destruction of all related files.

Also some rather dodgy Nazi Paperclip connections and some revealing CIA memos shown at this page although guess we'll never know the true extent of it.

Also don't know if you've seen this document written by Colonel J R Rees but it certainly seems very relevant to this thread.




Cheers.

Imagine how horrifying the 99% is that got destroyed.

Thanks for all that info. You opened new doors of thought on this topic. Just when you think you've seen it all, eh?

Ps. This OP came at just the right time for me. This actually falls into Synchronicity with me. Thanks for sharing.

Quote:Operation Mind Control by Walter Bowart.

This is precisely the kind of dangerous information that governments fear. Operation Mind Control is not conspiracy theory. It is documented fact.

Operation Mind Control spoke truth to power as few books published in the past thirty years have done. That is why the government tried to destroy it.

Quote:The Hollow-Face illusion is weaker among people with schizophrenia and other populations with psychotic symptoms, perhaps as a result of reduced tendency to interpret any kind of ambiguous 3D object as convex. It appears to be related to current mental state, namely in regard to current positive symptoms, inappropriate affect, and need for structure. The illusion seems to strengthen among successfully treated patients.

One thing that is different in people with schizophrenia is that they are not easily fooled by the hollow-face illusion.

For those that do not know it, this is the hollow-face illusion.

To me, it's mostly over self-diagnosed, at least in Portugal, as it's too easy to say "I'm depressed, I cannot go to work" (or something like it).

All my siblings and myself have a tendency for depression, and my younger sister had the strongest case of all of us. The medication they gave her resulted, but it was relatively hard for her to get rid of them.
