Tavistock Institute :
Building Absolute Mind Control for the New World Order
RobertsCourt.com
Eugenics is highly active in
America as an unconscious political power source, but has been made invisible
to your rational mind.This
intellectual blindness has been programmed. The only way to understand eugenics
as a sophisticated “crowd control” device is to view the big picture. The big
picture tells us that powerful Mind Control is all around us and even runs
through us. This is no passive development. Like usury, eugenics is a major
“crowd control” and Mind Control device employed by the elite against the
non-elite which has been deliberately made invisible via your own belief
system. It’s top-down programming has been manipulated secretly. By “depatterning”
our minds, beginning in childhood, Tavistock and their Tory American allies
serve a broader agenda of psychological warfare against the democratic mind.

are your overlords.”—Led Zeppelin
To weaken the moral fiber of the
nation and to demoralize workers in the labor class by creating mass
unemployment, demoralization can be advanced as a science. It can even be made
utterly irresistible, sexy and hip. As jobs dwindle due to the post industrial
zero growth policies introduced by the Club of Rome, the report envisages
demoralized and discouraged workers resorting to alcohol and drugs,
simultaneously seeking more and more top-down government. Top-down reversals of
individual-rights-based social contracts, like the U.S. Constitution, require
the destruction of parental authority then replacing the parent with programmed
bureaucrats. Through crisis, this can produce a cascading effect toward mass
programming, effectively reversing the Constitution.

Domination
The elite cannot possibly accomplish
this parental and constitutional coup legally, due to obvious rational
arguments, so they will require powerful cultural shaping methods employed
through Mind Control over generations to manipulate the irrational subconscious
mind. Enter Tavistock.The
youth of the land will be encouraged by means of rock music and drugs to rebel
against their parents and the status quo, thus undermining and eventually
destroying the family unit. This process will favor war, violence and
bureaucrats over parents. Ultimately, the “Sun King” power system will then be
put in place where wrongful authority will function as a psychologically
blinding authority, allowed to carry out all atrocities fully invisibly. In
this regard, the Committee commissioned Tavistock Institute to prepare a
blueprint as to how this could be achieved. Tavistock directed Stanford
Research to undertake the work under the direction of Professor Willis Harmon.
This work later became known as the “Aquarian Conspiracy”.—Targets of the
Illuminati and the Committee of 300 By Dr. John Coleman.
Even the traditional parental duty,
known for centuries to advance healthy and intelligent children, can
effectively be trivialized, demonized and criminalized in the non-elite masses.
Through Freudian taboo-building and Mass brainwashing, the elite can fully
control the most powerful tool known for child development for centuries! This
critical knowledge can be fully suppressed and controlled by a very small
elite. The non-elite masses are now so thoroughly programmed not to question
the thugs and criminals at the top of the Sun King power pyramid, that we now
routinely destroy non-elite parents and children by the millions simply because
of Tavistock Freudian taboos. Then our children are fully set up to be mind-controlled
by powerful Tavistock rock music, movies, video games, on and on and on.
Dr. John Coleman, former
intelligence officer with Britain’s MI6 and author of Conspirators Hierarchy,
The Committee of 300, was one of the first writers to bring the world’s
attention to the existence of the pivotal role that Tavistock plays in shaping
political, social, educational, and economic ‘opinions’, especially in the
United States. It is in the United States where mass deception about child
development, child empowerment and “crowd control” media propaganda is most
profoundly universal due to highly unconstitutional wrongful authority by the
federal government.
Tavistock, a progressive society,
was founded in London in 1920; the Tavistock Clinic opened in 1920. It always
had secret ties to British Freemasonry. Its aims include social control,
information control; and control of the hidden information environment.
Practically, his means it has control mechanisms in academia, multimedia,
intelligence, and medicine especially pharmaceuticals. Tavistock is part of the
global shadow government.
No group did more to propagandize
the U.S. to participate in WWI and WWII at a time when the majority of the
American people were opposed to it. British oligarchs used Tavistock to shape
and control public opinion in order to manipulate the British public (and later
the American public) into accepting the notion that war with Germany was
necessary in order “to secure a lasting peace.” The plan to ‘create’ public
opinion began in 1913 as a propaganda factory centered at Wellington House in
London.
Funding was initially provided by
the Royal family, but soon to include the Rothchilds (related to Lord
Northcliffe by marriage) and the Rockefellers. Wellington House would grow into
the Tavistock Institute in 1921 after the propaganda “victories” of the First
World War and the Federal Reserve banking system (created in 1913) had been
secured. Three elements combine to make the Institute unusual, if not unique:
it has the independence of being entirely self-financing, with no subsidies
from the government or other sources; the action research orientation places it
between, but not in, the worlds of academia and consultancy; and its range of
disciplines include anthropology, economics, organizational behavior, political
science, psychoanalysis, psychology and sociology.
We assume large corporations have
economic objectives. But we don’t expect them to have a secret social and
occult agenda as well. For example, we don’t expect them to engineer arrested
development and family breakdown. We don’t expect them to use pop culture to
foster alienation and dysfunction. But evidence suggests Tavistock and its
sister organizations do exactly that. With advanced psychology, the
“programming” of the unconscious mind through popular culture, movies,
television and even comic books became a major concern for Congress in the
1950s in regard to communist programming. The best method to counter-act such
an attack on our children, it was assumed, was to advance and control such
programming ourselves. Tavistock was called in to arrange such programming of
our collective unconscious minds for national securtity reasons.
But central bankers based in the
City of London control the cartels that dominate the world and they have their
own agendas. They finagled the right to print money based on our credit and
quite naturally used this advantage to buy everything worth having. This might
be tolerable if limitless wealth was all they wanted. But they also want
limitless power: not just one-world dictatorship but total control over our
minds and souls. Popular culture is engineered to brainwash each of us from
cradle to grave. Trends and megatrends are manufactured, engineered by
corporations.
Society evolves slowly toward “social
efficiency” all by itself; society under stress, however, evolves much faster!
Thus the deliberate creation of crisis is an important tool of evolutionary
socialists. Does that help you understand the global drama a little better, or
well-publicized doomsday scenarios?
Tavistock provided most of the
detailed programs for establishing the Office of Naval Intelligence, (ONI).
This wing of intelligence dwarfs the CIA in size and scope. The U.S. Government
gave billion dollar contracts to Tavistock. Tavistock’s strategic planners
provide most of the long-range plans used in the defense establishment.
According to LaRouche and other
authorities,Tavistock organized and trained the entire staffs of the Office of
Strategic Services (OSS), the Strategic Bombing Survey, Supreme Headquarters of
the Allied Expeditionary Forces, and other key American military groups during
World War II. During World War II, the Tavistock Institute combined with the
medical sciences division of the Rockefeller Foundation for esoteric
experiments with mind-altering drugs. The present drug culture of the United
States is traced in its entirety to this Institute, which supervised the
Central Intelligence Agency’s training programs. The “LSD counter culture”
originated when Sandoz A.G., a Swiss pharmaceutical house owned by S.G. Warburg
& Co., developed a new drug from lysergic acid, called LSD. James Paul
Warburg (son of Paul Warburg who had written the Federal Reserve Act in 1910),
financed a subsidiary of the Tavistock Institute in the United States called
the Institute for Policy Studies, whose director, Marcus Raskin, was appointed
to the National Security Council. James Paul Warburg set up a CIA program to
experiment with LSD on CIA agents, some of whom later committed suicide. This program,
MK-Ultra, supervised by Dr. Gottlieb, resulted in huge lawsuits against the
United States Government by the families of the victims.The English Tavistock
Institute has not restricted its activities to left-wing groups, but has also
directed the programs of such supposedly “conservative” American think tanks as
the Herbert Hoover Institute at Stanford University, Heritage Foundation,
Wharton, Hudson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rand. The
“sensitivity training” and “sexual encounter” programs of the most radical
California groups such as Esalen Institute and its many imitators were all
developed and implemented by Tavistock Institute psychologists.

The Mental Hygiene Society of which
Prescott Bush was a director was a project of the Order of Skull and Bones. The
society “would evolve into the CIA’s cultural engineering effort of the 1950s,
the drugs and brainwashing adventure known as ‘MK-Ultra’…an anti-American
project which poured drugs into the country and worked to fabricate the
drug-sex youth culture.” It would build powerful hysteria centered on
destroying the parent-child bond, advance the idea of broad child abuse
requiring strong government sex and drug inquisitions, secretly promoting broad
acceptance of divorce and family dysfunction. The Bushes would then champion
“family values” as public officials.
“A behavior control research
project was begun in the 1950s, coordinated by the British psychological
warfare unit called the Tavistock Institute, with the Scottish Rite Masons, the
Central Intelligence Agency, and other British, U.S., Canadian, and United
Nations agencies. The project became famous in the 1970s under a CIA code name,
‘MK-Ultra.’ Its notoriety for brainwashing by drugs, hypnosis, electroshock,
and other tortures caused many books to be written about the project, and the
U.S. Senate conducted hearings which exposed many of its abusive features. The
true intent of using this research against millions of Americans through “Child
Services” organizations was never publicly presented. President Gerald Ford
appointed a commission headed by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, to correct
the CIA’s misconduct. There was a widespread anti-establishment view at the
time, that here was the fox appointed to guard the hen house.”
The Mental Hygiene movement was
organized into the World Federation of Mental Health by none other than Montagu
Norman, Governor of the Bank of England who, with Hjalmar Schacht, the
financial engineer of the Nazi rearmament program and member of the British
Round Table, and Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank,
conspired to precipitate the Great Depression. Under Adolf Hitler, Hjalmar
Schacht was appointed Minister of Economics. [See: Eugenics: All in the Family]
“The Mental Hygiene movement was
organized into the World Federation of Mental Health by Montagu Norman, former
Brown Brothers partner and Bank of England Governor. Norman had appointed as
the federation’s chairman, Brigadier John Rawlings Rees, director of the
Tavistock Psychiatric Clinic, chief psychiatrist and psychological warfare
expert for the British intelligence services…its goals were population control,
eugenics and political power.
“The world financial crisis led to
the merger of the Walker-Harriman bank with Brown Brothers in 1931. Former
Brown partner Montagu Norman and his protege Hjalmar Schacht paid frantic
visits to New York that year and the next, preparing the new Hitler regime for
Germany.”
The interaction between the
British, American and German Eugenics societies laid the foundation for
implementation of the race purification ideology behind Hitler’s Third Reich.
In 1912, the First International Congress of Eugenics was held at the
University of London. The president of the Congress was Major Leonard Darwin,
son of Charles Darwin and one of the first English vice presidents was Sir
Winston Churchill, later Prime Minister of England. In 1921, the Second
International Congress of Eugenics was held in New York City. The sponsoring committee
included Herbert Hoover, later President of the U.S., and the Carnegie
Institute of Washington (Rockefeller). Madison Grant, a director of the
American Eugenics Society, was the treasurer. The event was held at the
American Museum of Natural History in New York, where Averell Harriman served
on the Board of Directors.
In 1932, the Third International
Congress on Eugenics elected as its president Dr. Ernst Rudin, a psychiatrist
who directed the various branches of the Rockefeller-founded/funded Kaiser
Wilhelm Institute in Germany, and designated Rudin president of the worldwide
Eugenics Federation. In 1933, Rudin was commissioned by Hitler’s Minister of
the Interior to write a sterilization law for Germany. Rudin’s Law for the
Prevention of Hereditary Diseases in Posterity was modeled on statutes already
passed in Virginia and other states in the U.S. When Adolf Hitler and the Nazi
Party came to power in Germany, Ernst Rudin praised Hitler, giving credit to
him because “the dream we have cherished for more than thirty years of seeing
racial hygiene converted into action has become reality.”
“The most important American
political event in those preparations for Hitler was the infamous ‘Third
International Congress on Eugenics,’ held at New York’s American Museum of
Natural History August 21-23, 1932, supervised by the International Federation
of Eugenics Societies. 9 This meeting took up the stubborn persistence of
African-Americans and other allegedly ‘inferior’ and ‘socially inadequate’
groups in reproducing, expanding their numbers, and amalgamating with others.
It was recommended that these ‘dangers’ to the ‘better’ ethnic groups and to
the ‘well-born,’ could be dealt with by sterilization or ‘cutting off the bad
stock’ of the ‘unfit.’
“Italy’s fascist government sent an
official representative. Averell Harriman’s sister Mary, director of
‘Entertainment’ for the Congress, lived down in Virginia fox-hunting country;
her state supplied the speaker on ‘racial purity,’ W.A. Plecker, Virginia
commissioner of vital statistics. Plecker reportedly held the delegates
spellbound with his account of the struggle to stop race-mixing and
inter-racial sex in Virginia.
“The Congress proceedings were
dedicated to Averell Harriman’s mother; she had paid for the founding of the
race-science movement in America back in 1910, building the Eugenics Record
Office as a branch of the Galton National Laboratory in London. She and other
Harrimans were usually escorted to the horse races by old George Herbert
Walker–they shared with the Bushes and the Farishes a fascination with
‘breeding thoroughbreds’ among horses and humans.
“Averell Harriman personally
arranged with the Walker/Bush Hamburg-Amerika Line to transport Nazi ideologues
from Germany to New York for this meeting. 11 The most famous among those
transported was Dr. Ernst Rudin, psychiatrist at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
for Genealogy and Demography in Berlin, where the Rockefeller family paid for
Dr. Rudin to occupy an entire floor with his eugenics ‘research.’ Dr. Rudin had
addressed the International Federation’s 1928 Munich meeting, speaking on
‘Mental Aberration and Race Hygiene,’ while others (Germans and Americans)
spoke on race-mixing and sterilization of the unfit. Rudin had also led the
German delegation to the 1930 Mental Hygiene Congress in Washington, D.C.
“At the Harrimans’ 1932 New York
Eugenics Congress, Ernst Rudin was unanimously elected president of the
International Federation of Eugenics Societies. This was recognition of Rudin
as founder of the German Society for Race Hygiene, with his co-founder,
Eugenics Federation vice president Alfred Ploetz.
“As depression-maddened financiers schemed in Berlin and New York, Rudin was
now official leader of the world eugenics movement. Components of his movement
included groups with overlapping leadership, dedicated to:
-sterilization of mental patients
(‘mental hygiene societies’);
-execution of the insane, criminals and the terminally ill (‘euthanasia
societies’); and
-eugenical race-purification by prevention of births to parents from ‘inferior’
blood stocks (‘birth control societies’).
“Before the Auschwitz death camp became a household word, these
British-American-European groups called openly for the elimination of the
‘unfit’ by means including force and violence.”
Behind the Tavistock Institute and
its brainchild, MK-Ultra, was the largesse of the Rockefeller Foundation, “a
global instrument for radical social change, using American money and British
strategy.” British psychiatry: from eugenics to assassination by Anton Chaitkin
reveals John D. Rockefeller’s interest in psychiatric genetics, which “applied
to psychiatry the concepts of eugenics (otherwise known as race purification,
race hygiene, or race betterment) developed in London’s Galton Laboratory and
its offshoot Eugenics Societies in England and America.” Besides Rockefeller
and the British Crown, the families of Warburg and Harriman were the primary
funders of eugenics internationally.
The “science” of eugenics
deliberately conceals vital information from parents and children: all the Mind
Control manipulation devices employing sex, drugs and usury are easy to protect
children from through objective education. This education is deliberately
repressed! What’s worse, active psychological warfare includes active
demoralization campaigns making this education even more urgent as parents are
simultaneously victimized by this eugenics scam.
“The foundation’s ‘German centers
combined the search for organic signs of mental illness with eugenic projects….
The [Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry in Munich] had initially been endowed
with 11 million marks, contributed by Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach [head
of the Krupp steel and arms family] and James Loeb [Paul Warburg’s
brother-in-law], an expatriate American of the Kuhn-Loeb banking family. Loeb
mobilized his American-Jewish friends to support the institute,’ and they
invited the foundation to reorganize and expand the Munich enterprise. Loeb
also continued financing the institute. Loeb’s relatives, the Warburgs, owners
of Kuhn Loeb bank, were the intimate banking partners of William Rockefeller.
Together with him they had set up the Harriman family in big business, using
capital supplied by the British royal family’s personal banker, Sir Ernst
Cassell. The three families, Rockefeller, Warburg, and Harriman, together with
British Crown agencies, jointly sponsored much of the social engineering
enterprise we shall describe here. The Rockefeller Foundation made an initial
grant of $2.5 million in 1925 to the Psychiatric Institute in Munich, gave it
$325,000 for a new building in 1928, and continuously sponsored the institute
and its Nazi chief Rudin through the Hitler era. The foundation paid for a
1930-35 anthropological survey of the ‘eugenically worthwhile population’ by
Nazi eugenicists Rudin, Verschuer, Eugen Fischer, and others.”
Through funding the “research” of
Ernst Rudin and Otmar Von Verschuer, they also financed the horrific
experimentation of Verschuer’s medical commandant, Josef Mengle, the “Angel of
Death” of Auschwitz whose experiments on children, especially twins, provided
scientific data for the Kaiser Wilhem Institute:
“Of the 3000 twins who passed
through Mengele’s labs, only 200 survived the war. Depending on the type of
experiment endured by the twins, they were driven to various labs at Auschwitz
or neighboring Birkenau camp. Most received routine blood and x-ray tests,
often on a daily basis… Mengele’s experiments both physical and psychological;
experimental surgeries performed without anesthesia, transfusions of blood from
one twin to another, isolation endurance, reaction to various stimuli,
injections with lethal germs, sex change operations, the removal of organs and
limbs, incestuous impregnations… Mengele injected chemicals into the eyes of
children in an attempt to change their eye color… Unfortunately a strict veil
of secrecy over the experiments enabled Mengele to do his work more
effectively, and ‘twins who were subjected to the most grusome procedures took
his secrets to their graves.’ The full extent of his grusome work will never be
known because the records he sent to Dr. Von Verschuer at the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute were shipped out ‘in two truckloads’ and destroyed by the latter. Any
remaining notes Mengele carried with him on his escape to South America and
those were never found.”
According to Fritz Springmeier,
Josef Mengele was used by the Illuminati to develop trauma-based mind control
by experimenting on Jewish victims in the Holocaust, and after the war Mengele
was smuggled to the U.S. to put mind control into practice as one of the CIA’s
main mind control programmers. The author of “Mind Control The Ultimate Terror”
credits Mengele with development of the MK Ultra mind control program:
“Dr. Joseph Mengele of Auschwitz
notoriety was the principle developer of the MK Ultra and Monarch mind control
programs. Mengele and hundreds of other high ranking Nazis were secretly moved
into the United States and South America in the aftermath of World War II in an
Operation designated Paperclip. The Nazis continued their work in developing
mind control and rocketry technologies in secret underground military bases.
The only thing we were told about was the rocketry work with former Nazi star
celebrities like Warner Von Braun. The killers, torturers, and mutilators of
innocent human beings were kept discretely out of sight, but busy in their
underground military facilities which soon became home to thousands upon
thousands of kidnapped American children snatched off the streets and placed
into iron bar cages stacked from floor to ceiling. These children would be used
to further refine and perfect Mengele’s mind control technologies. These
children (at least the ones who survived the ‘training’) would become future
mind controlled slaves who could be used for anything from sexual blackmail to
assassinations.”

Mind Control Subsidiaries

[Note: Regarding my recent article
mentioning Benazir Bhutto’s December 27, 2007 assassination, in a November 2,
2007 interview with David Frost she mentioned that an earlier assassination
attempt by a former military officer connected with Omar Sheikh, “the man who
murdered Osama bin Laden.” Have you heard the power elite-controlled American
press or media mention this? Bhutto was the woman the U.S. State Department
wanted to become Prime Minister of Pakistan. Now why would the U.S. want
someone to head Pakistan who has and publicly uses very bad information
(Osama’s murder) if she was wrong? Or, if she was correct, why would the press
and media censor such important news from the American people? Could it be that
the power elite doesn’t want the public to know Osama’s dead because that would
decrease interest in the “war on terror”? And could Bhutto’s “spilling the
beans” have played a role in her own assassination? Concerning another of my
recent articles, “The Power Elite’s Use of Wars and Crises” (January 28),
someone may have gotten the impression that the First World War was planned
beginning around 1910. Actually wars are planned by the power elite far in
advance, and the First World War, followed by a world government, was planned long
before 1910. For example, in 1908 THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY (Vol. 2, No.
4) begins with these words: “‘The most fearful war of the century is coming
soon. After the war, will come world-peace–the highest development of the race
in this cycle.’ This is the prediction made a few days ago by a distinguished
political economist.”]
I was listening to a discussion
regarding the Middle East and thought to myself “Don’t they understand that
what’s happening has been planned?” This is not only true in geopolitics (FDR
said nothing happened in politics by accident) but in all facets of life. In
music in the 1950s and 1960s, rock music didn’t just happen by accident.
Theodor Adorno and others theorized years earlier how it could change people.
Similarly in art, Bertolt Brecht said, “Art is not a mirror held up to reality,
but a hammer with which to shape it.”
Many people are familiar with the
impact of the Leipzig and Frankfurt Schools upon society, but relatively few
understand the impact of Tavistock. Therefore, this article will look at that
organization and how it has shaped/planned our lives and the course of the
world.
The name Tavistock is associated
with human relations and psychiatry (see statue of Freud in front of Tavistock
Institute). Charles Dickens (who had written of “pencils of light,” which is
similar to the term “points of light”) moved to Tavistock House in October
1951. Tavistock is an area in southwest Devon in England, but the story begins
elsewhere.
The term “psychiatry” was first
used in 1808 by Johann Christian Reil, and it means “doctoring of the soul.”
The primary schools of psychiatry were established in the early 1800s in
Leipzig and Berlin.
At Leipzig University in 1879,
Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychological laboratory, and among his
students were Ivan Pavlov, William James (the “Father of American Psychology”),
and G. Stanley Hall (who would become the mentor of John Dewey, the “Father of
Progressive Education”). Pavlov is well-known for his stimulus-response
experiments with dogs. In Clarence Karier’s SCIENTISTS OF THE MIND (1986), one
reads concerning James that “we pass from a culture with God at its center to a
culture with man at its center.” James was also noted for his famous
description of reality as “one great blooming, buzzing confusion.” Of possible
interest in this regard is that a symbol of Rosicrucianism is “buzzing” bees
seeking the nectar (wisdom) of a (blooming) rose. And Hall founded “genetic
psychology” while also using Wundt’s experimental psychology in the area of
child development. Hall and James meshed in John Dewey, an educational
psychologist, who co-authored the first “man-centered” HUMANIST MANIFESTO in
1933. Dewey, John B. Watson and other leading psychologists in the early 20th
century were interested in the behavior of people. They didn’t believe that man
had a soul in the Biblical sense of the word. Thus it was not surprising that
at the 6th International Congress of Philosophy, which took place at Harvard
University in 1926, it was stated that the “soul or consciousness… now is of
very little importance…. Behaviorism sang their funeral dirge while
materialism–the smiling heir– arranges a suitable funeral for them.”
What does all this have to do with
Tavistock? In 1920, the Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology (TIMP) was
founded. It was involved in psychotherapy, and psychiatrists at the Tavistock
Clinic wanted to apply their findings to the general public in the form of
certain social service programs.
John Rawlings Rees (who would be a
co-founder of the World Federation for Mental Health in 1948) was Deputy
Director of Tavistock at this time (he would become Director in 1932). Rees
developed the “Tavistock Method,” which induces and controls stress via what
Rees called “psychologically controlled environments” in order to make people
give up firmly held beliefs under “peer pressure.”
Rees’ Tavistock Method was based on
work done by British psychoanalyst Wilfrid Bion regarding the roles of
individuals within groups. This design was later shifted in a series of
conferences (1957-1965) led by A. Kenneth Rice, chairman of Tavistock’s Centre
for the Applied Social Research. The shift was to the dynamics of leadership
and authority relations in groups. According to the A.K. Rice Institute, “In
1965 Rice led a conference in the United States, as the Tavistock Method began
to be developed in the U.S. by Margaret Rioch and others. The A.K. Rice
Institute is now the U.S. equivalent of the Tavistock Institute.”
In 1930, TIMP had been involved
with the second biennial Conference on Mental Health, where psychiatrist J.R.
Lord advocated challenging old values, saying “the aim should be to control not
only nature, but human nature.” And he spoke of the “necessity to disarm the
mind.”
Rees went even further than this on
June 18, 1940 at the annual meeting of the National Council for Mental Hygiene
of the United Kingdom. In his speech on “Strategic Planning for Mental Health,”
he proclaimed: “We can therefore justifiably stress our particular point of
view with regard to the proper development of the human psyche, even though our
knowledge be incomplete. We must aim to make it permeate every educational
activity in our national life…. We have made a useful attack upon a number of
professions. The two easiest of them naturally are the teaching profession and
the Church: the two most difficult are law and medicine…. Public life, politics
and industry should all of them be within our sphere of influence…. If we are
to infiltrate the professional and social activities of other people, I think
we must imitate the Totalitarians and organize some kind of fifth column
activity! If better ideas on mental health are to progress and spread we, as
the salesmen, must lose our identity…. Let us all, therefore, very secretly be
‘fifth columnists.’” (See MENTAL HEALTH, Vol. 1, No. 4, October 1940)
In 1935, Harvard psychologist
(1930-1967) Gordon Allport co-authored THE PSYCHOLOGY OF RADIO with Hadley
Cantril. Allport would be a leading agent in the U.S. for the Tavistock
Institute, and Cantril in 1937 would be a member of the Rockefeller
Foundation-funded Office of Radio Research at Princeton University established
to study the influence of radio on different groups of listeners. In 1940, Cantril
would author THE INVASION FROM MARS: A STUDY IN THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PANIC
regarding the radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. Tavistock
senior staffer, Fred Emery, would later (HUMAN RELATIONS, Vol. 12, No. 3,
August 1959) begin his article on “Working Hypotheses on the Psychology of
Television” with the words: “The psychological after-effects of television are
of considerable interest to the would-be social engineer.”
During the Second World War,
Tavistock was part of Great Britain’s Psychological Warfare Department. On May
7, 1944, Dr. Rees of Tavistock and the British War Ministry injected Nazi
prisoner Rudolf Hess with the narcotic Evipan. According to Lt. Col. Eugene
Bird in PRISONER NO. 7: RUDOLF HESS (in the chapter titled “A Secret Drug”),
Rees examined Hess 35 times. Rees and his associates via chemicals caused
Hess’s memory to fail and then “explained that they could bring back the memory
with an injection of Evipan.” Hess was told that “while under its influence he
would remember the past he had forgotten.”
In 1945, Rockefeller Foundation
medical director Alan Gregg was touring various institutions that had been
involved in war medicine to see if any group would commit to undertake the kind
of social psychiatry that had been developed by the Army during wartime (e.g.,
cultural psychiatry for the analysis of the enemy mentality), and see if it
could be relevant for the civilian society (on April 11, 1933, Rockefeller
Foundation president Max Mason assured trustees that in their program, “the
Social Sciences will concern themselves with the rationalization of social
control,… the control of human behavior”). This led to a Rockefeller grant that
resulted in the birth of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London
in 1947. Tavistock would join with Kurt Lewin’s Research Center for Group
Dynamics (RCGD) at the University of Michigan the next year to begin
publication of the international journal, HUMAN RELATIONS, relating theory to
pracice. The first volume contained articles such as “Overcoming Resistance to
Change,” and “A Comparison of the Aims of the Hitler Youth and the Boy Scouts
of America.” The Tavistock Institute would use Lewin’s techniques to arrange
“therapeutic communities.”
Lewin had received his Ph.D. from
Berlin University in 1914, and in 1932 came to the U.S. in the area of child
psychology. During the Second World War, he worked for the U.S. Office of
Strategic Services (which would become the CIA) in psychological warfare. He
founded the RCGD in 1946. The next year his research center along with a
division of the National Education Association (NEA) began the National
Training Laboratories (NTL) which furthered Lewin’s social engineering via
“T-groups” (training groups), where group consensus is facilitated by trained
individuals.
Over the next two decades, the NTL
would spread its operations to various countries around the world. And in its
ISSUES IN (HUMAN RELATIONS) TRAINING (1962), its sensitivity training is
referred to as “brainwashing.” Recently, NTL has conducted programs relevant to
Tavistock such as “NTL and Tavistock: Two Traditions of Group Work,” “Tavistock
Program: Re-Thinking and Planning for Organizational Change,” and “The
Tavistock–Task Working Conference which is a program structured around various
group configurations…. Periodically each group will review its actions and
results to learn from processes, roles, values, and methods as they evolve.”
Other recent NTL programs have featured people such as New Ager Jean Houston
and the witch Starhawk.
The year after Tavistock and the
RCGD began publishing HUMAN RELATIONS, the journal (Vol. II, No. 3, 1949),
published “Some Principles of Mass Persuasion” by Dorwin Cartwright who helped
establish the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. In
this article, Cartwright reveals: “It is conceivable that one persuasive person
could, through the use of mass media, bend the world’s population to his will.”
The article goes on to describe “the modification of cognitive structure in
individuals by means of mass media” and how “a person can be induced to do
voluntarily something that he would otherwise not do.” The article also
provides “a list of essential requirements for the success of any campaign of
mass persuasion.”
Seven years after Cartwright’s
article appeared, prominent psychiatrist R.D. Laing was appointed senior
registrar at the Tavistock Clinic in 1956, three years after he left the
British Army Psychiatric Unit. He began experimenting with LSD in 1960, and
then in 1962 when he became a family therapist at the Tavistock Institute of
Human Relations, he also met Gregory Bateson while visiting the U.S. Bateson
had been with the Office of Strategic Services (forerunner of the CIA), and
then led the MK-Ultra hallucinogen (LSD) project. Bateson’s and Margaret Mead’s
daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson, along with New Ager Jean Houston, would later
help Hilary Clinton write IT TAKES A VILLAGE. IN 1964 Laing met LSD proponent
Timothy Leary in New York and also authored “Transcendental Experience in
Relation and Psychosis” (THE PSYCHEDELIC REVIEW, Vol. 1, No. 3, 1964). Three
years later Laing participated in the July 15-30 1967 Dialectics of Liberation
Congress.
In 1964, Fred Emery, who would be a
senior member of Tavistock, wrote “Theories of Social Turbulence” which he
explained more fully in FUTURES WE ARE IN (1975). According to this theory,
individuals or societies faced with a series of crises will attempt to reduce
the tension by adaptation and eventually psychological retreat as if anesthetized
(similar to Pavlov’s “protective inhibition response”). This can lead to social
disintegration, which Emery called “segmentation.”
In 1970, the Association for
Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) of the NEA published TO NURTURE
HUMANENESS: COMMITMENT FOR THE ’70s, in which Sidney Jourard (Fellow at the
Tavistock Clinic and former president of the Association for Humanist
Psychology), wrote: “We are in a time of revolt…. The new society will be a
fascist state or it will be pluralistic and humanistic.” The primary
characteristic of the fascist state is increasing control over people’s lives
by government in league with corporations. Sound like today?
Relevant to this, in October 1997
the Tavistock Institute (and Manchester University) completed a final report
(under Contract ERB-SOE2-CT-96-2011) for the European Commission, and described
in a report summary was that there will be “partnerships between government,
industry, and representatives of worker organizations.” The report summary also
described “the relevancy of Goals 2000, SCANS (U.S. Department of Labor
SECRETARY’S COMMISSION ON ACHIEVING NECESSARY SKILLS) typology with its
profound implications for the curriculum and training changes that this will
require,” valid skills standards and portable credentials “benchmarked to
international standards such as those promulgated by the International
Standards Organization (ISO).” The report summary went on to say that “there is
increasing attention being focused on developing global skill standards and
accreditation agreements.”
In the 1990s, the Tavistock
Institute not only began a new journal titled EVALUATION in 1995, but the
Institute and the European Commission also worked on a feasibility study to
research the effect of using “Smart Cards” in competence accreditation. The
study was carried out in the U.S. and parts of Europe. The project involved
assessing and validating students’ skills, with information placed on personal
skills Smart Cards which “become real passports to employment.” The implication,
of course, is that without this “real passport,” one will not be employed.
Welcome to the Tavistock
psychologically conditioned feudal fascist state of the future, under the power
elite’s planned World Socialist Government! This will lead to what Daniel
8:23-25 foretold: “And in the latter time… a king of fierce countenance, and
understanding dark sentences, shall stand up… and shall destroy the mighty and
holy people… and by peace shall destroy many….”
How is it possible that the “holy
people” will be destroyed? It’s because today many so-called Christians are
sitting on their posteriors while the “religion” of secular humanism has been
taught in public schools for over four decades. Values are being taught in
public schools based upon situation ethics without reference to God as moral
authority. This is a primary tenet of secular humanism (see the first and
second HUMANIST MANIFESTO), which was declared a “religion” by the U.S. Supreme
Court in Torcaso v. Watkins (1961). Public school students are taught (without
reference to God’s moral authority) to decide for themselves what’s right or
wrong based on the situation. And so-called Christians are letting this
“religion” be taught in public schools while the Supreme Court has banned the
God of THE HOLY BIBLE as moral authority in the same schools. Over four decades
of this has produced more secular humanists than God’s “holy people,” whose
dwindling ranks will be vastly outnumbered by secular humanists who will
“destroy” them as a result of their “situation.” God, please help us!
Tavistock was the post WWII model
for the CIA’s more extensive Monarch Program, which comprises untold millions
of unconscious, programmed assets now throughout N America, Europe and parts of
Asia. The CIA has now provided us with a massive paper trail to follow an
“Enemies Domestic” agenda via subconscious psychological warfare in order to
shape the nation. Demoralization, Crisis and Normalization. This is the shaping
process used over and over employed by both CIA and KGB. The problem is, both
political organizations seemed to have the same agenda: groom us all away from
constitutional clarity, seeking their “protection” as we all cower in our
living rooms as mind-slaves.
According to some reputable researchers,
Sigmund Freud was Tavistock’s first director, followed by his daughter, who
apparently still runs the facility. It was used to program the postwar leaders
of Germany’s government, churches, schools, corporations, etc., from among the
POWs who were easy to manipulate.
Lots of us who post on EW are
washouts of Tavistock and Monarch programs, I suggest, including me. Lawful
payback is pretty refreshing after someone has tried their best to ruin our
lives, I think.
Most of the Tavistock facility is probably
underground, so I hope someone will drop plenty of orgonite into open pipes
around that neighborhood.—~Don

Appendix I: The Programmers
Because of the intensive artillery
barrages of World War I, many soldiers were permanently impaired by shell
shock. In 1921, the Marquees of Tavistock, 11th Duke of Bedford, gave a
building to a group which planned to conduct rehabilitation programs for shell
shocked British soldiers. The group took the name of “Tavistock Institute”
after its benefactor. The General Staff of the British Army decided it was
crucial that they determine the breaking point of the soldier under combat
conditions. The Tavistock Institute was taken over by Sir John Rawlings Reese,
head of the British Army Psychological Warfare Bureau. A cadre of highly
trained specialists in psychological warfare was built up in total secrecy. In
fifty years, the name “Tavistock Institute’ appears only twice in the Index of
the New York Times, yet this group, according to LaRouche and other
authorities, organized and trained the entire staffs of the Office of Strategic
Services (OSS), the Strategic Bombing Survey, Supreme Headquarters of the
Allied Expeditionary Forces, and other key American military groups during
World War II.
During World War II, the Tavistock
Institute combined with the medical sciences division of the Rockefeller
Foundation for esoteric experiments with mind-altering drugs. The present drug
culture of the United States is traced in its entirety to this Institute, which
supervised the Central Intelligence Agency’s training programs. The “LSD
counter culture” originated when Sandoz A.G., a Swiss pharmaceutical house
owned by S.G. Warburg & Co., developed a new drug from lysergic acid,
called LSD. James Paul Warburg (son of Paul Warburg who had written the Federal
Reserve Act in 1910), financed a subsidiary of the Tavistock Institute in the
United States called the Institute for Policy Studies, whose director, Marcus
Raskin, was appointed to the National Security Council. James Paul Warburg set
up a CIA program to experiment with LSD on CIA agents, some of whom later
committed suicide. This program, MK-Ultra, supervised by Dr. Gottlieb, resulted
in huge lawsuits against the United States Government by the families of the
victims.
The English Tavistock Institute has
not restricted its activities to left-wing groups, but has also directed the
programs of such supposedly “conservative” American think tanks as the Herbert
Hoover Institute at Stanford University, Heritage Foundation, Wharton, Hudson,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rand. The “sensitivity training” and
“sexual encounter” programs of the most radical California groups such as
Esalen Institute and its many imitators were all developed and implemented by
Tavistock Institute psychologists.
One of the rare items concerning
the Tavistock Institute appears in Business Week, Oct. 26, 1963, with a
photograph of its building in the most expensive medical offices area of
London. The story mentions “the Freudian bias” of the Institute, and comments
that it is amply financed by British blue-chip corporations, including
Unilever, British Petroleum, and Baldwin Steel. According to Business Week, the
psychological testing programs and group relations training programs of the
Institute were implemented in the United States by the University of Michigan and
the University of California, which are hotbeds of radicalism and the drug
network.
It was the Marquees of Tavistock,
12th Duke of Bedford, whom Rudolf Hess flew to England to contact about ending
World War II. Tavistock was said to be worth $40 million in 1942. In 1945, his
wife committed suicide by taking an overdose of pills. APPENDIX I [SECRETS OF
THE FEDERAL RESERVE By Eustace Mullins]
Research
into the use of microwave weapons and their use for mind control began in 1950s
at the Tavistock Institute, one of Britain’s leading psychiatric research
establishments. The UK institute was researching into ways of mind controlling
the British population without them knowing. The monkey submission response,
whereby the dominant monkey caused submissive behaviour in the underlings, was
the brain state of most interest to the British scientists. Having found this
specific brain rhythm for docile submissive, zombie-like behavior, it was then
recorded and used as the template for the ELF signal beamed on UK microwave
transmitters. Britain was the first discoverer of microwave technology, used
for radar, in the 1940s and therefore had a commanding lead over everyone else
in this field. MICROWAVE MIND CONTROL by Tim Rifat

at Tavistock.

went to a conference at Tavistock entitled Dialectics of Liberation in 1967.

The Tavistock Institute of Human
Relations was unknown to the people of the United States before Dr. Coleman
exposed its existence in his monograph, The Tavistock Institute of Human
Relations: Britain’s Control of the United States. Up to that time, Tavistock
had successfully retained its secretive role in shaping the affairs of the
United States, its government and its people since its early beginning in
London, in 1913 at Wellington House.
Since Dr. Coleman’s original
article exposing this ultra-secret organization, others have come forward with
claims of authorship, which they were unable to substantiate.
Tavistock began as a propaganda
creating and disseminating organization centered at Wellington House, which was
where the original organization was put together with intent of shaping a
propaganda outlet that would break down the stiff public resistance being
encountered to the looming war between Britain and Germany.
The
project was given to Lords Rothmere and Northcliffe and their mandate was to
produce an organization capable of manipulating public opinion and directing
that manufactured opinion down the desired pathway to support for a declaration
of war by Great Britain against Germany.
Funding was provided by the British
royal family, and later by the Rothschilds to whom Lord Northcliffe was related
through marriage. Arnold Toynbee was selected as Director of Future Studies.
Two Americans, Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays were appointed to handle the
manipulation of American public opinion in preparation for the entry of the
United States into WWI, and to brief and direct President Woodrow Wilson.
From a somewhat crude beginning at
Wellington House, grew an organization that was to shape the destiny of
Germany, Britain and more especially the United States in manner that became a
highly sophisticated organization to manipulate and create public opinion, what
is commonly termed, “mass brainwashing.” This requires the building of
duplicitous mind-control devices into wrongful government for which the
subconscious mind understands as tyranny but the conscious mind cannot
articulate.
During the course of its
evolvement, Tavistock expanded in size and ambition, when in 1937, a decision
was made to use the German author Oswald Spengler’s monumental work, Untergange
des Abenlandes (The Decline of Western Civilization ) as a model.
Previously,
Wellington House board members Rothmere, Northcliffe, Lippmann, and Bernays had
read and proposed as a guide the writings of Correa Moylan Walsh, in
particular, the book The Climax of Civilization (1917) as corresponding closely
to conditions that had to be created before a New World Order in a One World
Government could be ushered in.
In this endeavor the members of the
board consulted with the British royal family and obtained the approval of the
“Olympians” (the inner core of the Committee of 300) to formulate a strategy.
Funding was provided by the monarchy, the Rothschilds, the Milner Group and the
Rockefeller family trusts.
In 1936, Spengler’s monumental work
had come to the attention of what had become the Tavistock Institute. In
preparation for changing and reshaping public opinion for the second time in
less than twelve years, by unanimous consent of the board, Spengler’s massive
book was adopted as the blueprint for a new working model to bring about the
decline and fall of Western civilization necessary to create and establish a
New World Order inside a One World Government.
Spengler held it bound to happen
that alien elements would be introduced into Western civilization in increasing
numbers, and that the West would fail at that time to expel the aliens, thereby
sealing its fate, a society, whose inward beliefs and sound convictions would
become at variance with its outward profession and thus Western civilization
would fall by the wayside in the manner of the ancient civilizations of Greece
and Rome.
The two World Wars cost the German
nation almost one quarter of its population. Most of the intellectual energies
of the German nation were diverted into war channels in defense of the
Fatherland at the expense of science, arts, literature, music and the cultural,
spiritual and moral advancement of the nation. The same could be said of the
British nation. The blaze kindled by the British under the direction of
Tavistock set all of Europe on fire, and did incalculable damage according to
the Tavistock blueprint that matched Spengler’s predictions.
Classical and Western are the only
two civilizations that could bring a modern renaissance to the world. They had
flourished and progressed just as long as these civilizations remained under
the control of the Anglo-Saxon Nordic Alpine, Germanic races. The unsurpassed
beauty of their literature, art, their classics, spiritual and moral
advancement of the female sex with a very large corresponding degree of
protection, was what distinguished Western and Classic civilizations from
others.
It was this bastion that Spengler saw coming under increasing attack and the
thinking at Tavistock ran on parallel tracks, but with a totally different
goal. Tavistock saw this civilization as a stumbling block to ushering a New
World Order, as did the emphasis on protection and elevation of the female sex
to a place of high respect and honor.
Thus the whole thrust of Tavistock
was to “democratize” the West by an attack on womanhood, and the racial, moral,
spiritual and religious foundation upon which Western civilization rested.
As Spengler suggested, the Greeks
and Romans were devoted to the social, religious, moral and spiritual
advancement and the preservation of womanhood and they were successful for just
as long as they were in control and could arrange matters so that government
was carried out by a limited number of responsible citizens supported by the
general populace below them, all being of the same pure unadulterated race. The
planners at Tavistock saw that the way to upset the balance of Western
civilization was to force unwelcome changes in the race by removing control
from the deserving to the undeserving in the manner of ancient Roman leaders
who were supplanted by their former slaves and aliens, whom they had permitted
to come and dwell among them.
Tavistock, by 1937, had come a long
way from its Wellington House beginnings and the successful propaganda campaign
that had turned the British public from being strongly anti-war in 1913 to
willing participants through the arts of manipulation with the willing
cooperation of news communications media.
The technique was carried across
the Atlantic in 1916 to manipulate the American people to support of the war in
Europe. In spite of the fact that the vast majority, including at least 50 U.S.
Senators were adamantly opposed to the U.S. getting dragged into what they
perceived was essentially a quarrel between Britain and France on the one hand,
and Germany on the other, largely over trade and economics, the conspirators
were undeterred. At that point Wellington House introduced the word,
“Isolationists” as a derogatory description of those Americans who opposed U.S.
participation in the war. The use of such words and phrases has proliferated
under the expert brainwashing of the Social sciences scientists at Tavistock.
Terms like “regime change,” “collateral damage” became almost new English
language.
With
the Tavistock plan modified to suit American conditions, Bernays and Lippmann
led President Woodrow Wilson to set up the very first Tavistock methodology
techniques for polling (manufacturing) so-called public opinion created by
Tavistock propaganda. They also taught Wilson to set up a secret body of
“managers” to run the war effort and a body of “advisors” to assist the President
in his decision-making. The Creel Commission was the first such body of
opinion-makers set up in the United States.
Woodrow Wilson was the first
American president to publicly proclaim himself in favor of a Socialist New
World Order inside a Socialist One World Government. His remarkable acceptance
of the New World Order is found in his book The New Freedom.
We
say “his” book, but actually, it was written by Socialist William B. Hayle.
Wilson denounced capitalism. “It is contrary to the common man and it has
brought stagnation to our economy,” Wilson wrote.
Yet, at the time, the United States
economy was enjoying prosperity and industrial expansion as it had never
experienced before in its history:
“We stand in the presence of a
revolution—not a bloody revolution, America is not given to spilling blood—but
a silent revolution, whereby America will insist upon recovering to practice
those ideals which she has always professed, upon securing a government devoted
to the general and not the special interests. We are upon the threshold of a
time when the systematic life of the country will be sustained or at least
supplemented at every point by government activity. And now we have to
determine what kind of a government activity it shall be; whether, in the first
place, it shall be directed from government itself, or whether it shall be
indirect, through instrumentalities which have already constituted themselves
and which stand ready to supersede government.”
The United States, harried,
hounded, pushed and shoved is headed on a fast track to the New World Order,
propelled along by the Radical Republicans of the War Party who have been taken
over by the scientists at the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations.
Just recently I was asked by a
subscriber “where do we find the Tavistock Institute?” My response was: “Look
around the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, the White House, the
State Department, the Defense Department, Wall Street, Fox T.V. (Faux T.V.) and
you will see their change agents in every one of these places.”
President Wilson was the first U.S.
president to “manage” the war through a civilian committee guided and directed
by the Bernays and Lippmann from Wellington House, to which we have already
made mention.
The resounding success of Wellington
House and its enormous influence on the course of American history began before
that in 1913. Wilson had spent almost a year tearing down the protective trade
tariffs that had defended the American domestic markets from being overwhelmed
by “Free Trade,” essentially the practice of allowing cheap British goods made
with cheap labor in India to flood the American market. On October 12, 1913
Wilson signed the bill that was the beginning of the end of the unique American
middle class, long the target of the Fabian Socialists. The bill was described
as a measure to “adjust tariffs,” but it would have been accurate to describe
it as a bill to “destroy tariffs.”
Such was the hidden power of
Wellington House that the vast majority of the American people accepted this
lie, not knowing or realizing that it was a death knell for American commerce
that would lead to NAFTA, GATT and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Even
more astonishing was the acceptance of the Federal Income Tax Act that was
passed on September 5, 1913, to replace trade tariffs as the source of revenue
for the Federal Government. Income Tax is a Marxist doctrine not found in the
U.S. Constitution anymore than the Federal Reserve Bank is found in the
Constitution. Wilson called his twin blows against the Constitution, “a fight
for the people, and for free business,” and said he was proud to have taken
“part in the completion of a great piece of business…” The Federal Reserve Act,
explained by Wilson as “reconstructing the Nation’s banking and currency
system” was rushed through on a flood-tide of propaganda emanating from
Wellington House, just in time for the hostilities that began the horror of
WWI.
Most historians are agreed that
without passage of the Federal Reserve Bank Act, Lord Grey would not have been
able to start that terrible conflagration.
The
deceptive language of the Federal Reserve Act was under the guidance of Bernays
and Lippman who set up a “National Citizen’s League” with the notorious Samuel
Untermeyer as its chairman, to promote the Federal Reserve Bank, that secured
control of the people’s money and currency and transferred it to a private
monopoly without the victim’s consent.
One of the most interesting pieces
of history surrounding the imposition of the foreign financial slavery measure
was that before it was sent to Wilson for his signature, a copy was given to
the sinister Colonel Edward Mandel House as the representative of Wellington
House and the British oligarchy represented by the banker, J.P. Morgan.
As to the American people, in whose
name the disastrous measure was instituted, they had not the faintest idea how
they had been connived, cheated, lied to and utterly deceived. An instrument of
slavery was fastened around their necks without the victims ever becoming aware
of it.
Wellington House methodology was at
its height when Wilson was coached in how to persuade Congress to declare war
on Germany, although he had won election on the solemn promise to keep America
out of the war then raging in Europe, a great triumph for the new art of public
opinion making. It was just that – the poll questions were shaded in such away
that the answers reflected the opinions of the public; not their understanding
of the questions, nor their understanding of the processes of political science.
It is more effective to manage
society by mind control than by physical coercion. The events of 9-11 and the
“war on terror” mostly are exercises in mass brainwashing. German psychiatrist
Kurt Lewin, who became director of the elite-sponsored Tavistock Institute in
1932, developed the thinking behind 9-11. In the book “Mind Control World
Control” (1997) Jim Keith writes:
“Lewin is credited with much of the
original Tavistock research into mass brainwashing applying the results of
repeated trauma and torture [of individuals] in mind control to society at
large.” “If terror can be induced on a widespread basis into a society, Lewin
has stated, then society reverts to a tabula rasa, a blank slate, a situation
where control can easily be instituted from an external point.”
“Put
another way: By the creation of controlled chaos, the populace can be brought
to the point where it willingly submits to greater control. Lewin maintained
that society must be driven into a state equivalent to an ‘early childhood
situation.’ He termed this societal chaos ‘fluidity.’”
Elite planners designed Sept. 11
for its shock value. In the aftermath, they were able to impose a security
crackdown, a costly military build-up and a war in Afghanistan and Iraq on a
stunned population. Keith cites another Tavistock researcher Dr. William
Sargent author of “Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and
Brain-Washing” (1957): “Various types of beliefs can be implanted after brain
function has been sufficiently disturbed by …deliberately
induced fear, anger or excitement.”
This blueprint was laid out long
before Sept. 11, 2001. The official story of that tragedy doesn’t bear scrutiny
there was no wreckage at the Pentagon. All three buildings were demolished by
explosives. Our “leaders” are accomplices to the murder of over 3000 Americans
and the destruction of an American icon. The plan is to fold the US into a
“world government” controlled by London-based central bankers. Our cultural,
economic and political elite is complicit in the ongoing cover up. Much of this
secret planning can be found in Eugenics books coming out of England, as this
science behind the Nazi movement originated with them and is the elite’s one
unifying force around the world.
FUTURE SHOCK
Most political and cultural events
are contrived by the elite for their psychological effect. JFK could have been
disposed of in more humane ways. (He had many health problems.) Instead, for
its shock value, they shot him down , in Mort Sahls’ words, “like a dog in the
street.” Jim Keith: “The Kennedy assassination was a British Intelligence, i.e.
Tavistock hit, and its purpose was to shock the American consciousness into a
near-comatose state for reprogramming, the standard Tavistock modus operandi.”
The same can be said for the assassinations
of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. It all climaxed with the beatings of
demonstrators at the 1968 Chicago Democratic convention. After that, my
generation turned inward as we were programmed to do. “Turn on, Tune in, Drop
Out” said CIA funded pied piper Timothy Leary. [“I mean who was I supposed to
work for, the KGB?” Leary quipped. (Keith p.99) Leary didn’t realize that there
wasn’t a big difference.]
Many young people became “dead
heads” after Jerry Garcia’s Grateful Dead. Keith writes: “An FBI internal memo
from 1968 mentions the employment of the Grateful Dead as an avenue ‘to channel
youth dissent and rebellion into more benign and non-threatening directions.’
[They] performed a vital service in distracting many young persons into drugs and
mysticism, rather than politics.”
Keith goes on to document CIA
connections to the creation of mind control cults used to create “controlled
chaos.” These include the Symbionese Liberation Army, Jim Jones, Charles
Manson, Scientology, the Unification Church, Son of Sam and Heaven’s Gate. The
John Lennon assassination also ties in.
To bring the picture up to date,
add the murder of Princess Diana, Columbine, the
blowing of the levees in New Orleans, the burning of Black churches, and the
bird flu scare. What we have is an ongoing secret war by the central bankers
against society, a drumbeat of psychological torture designed to keep society
off balance or zoned out.
THE BITTER TRUTH
The most significant thing about
our life is that we are victims of elite mind control. We have been trained to
be apathetic, trivia-minded and self absorbed. Apart from the political shocks,
we are hardly aware of the vicious attack on our natural heterosexuality by a
psy-op known as “feminism” masquerading as womens rights.
We get our values, identity,
meaning and love from our family roles. Women were brainwashed to abandon the
female role and compete for the male role. A woman who dedicated herself to
husband, home and children was stigmatized. This is part of the long-term elite
program to eliminate the institutions of marriage and family.
“Tavistock Institute has developed
such power in the USA, that no one achieves prominence in any field unless he
has been trained in behavioral science at Tavistock, or one of its subsidiaries.”
Read how Tavistock directs hundreds of elite think tanks and corporations in
the United States. The degree of elite coordination is breathtaking.
For example, Century 21 has a new
ad where a real estate agent is greeting a middle class Chinese couple arriving
to settle in America. The voice-over says something like: “This is the shape of
the future. We are agents of change.”
Obviously this ad will not appeal
to Americans looking for a realtor. Rather, it conditions them to embrace
immigration. Central banker dupes and lackeys have used the term “change
agents” to describe themselves for decades.
Mankind is in the grip of a satanic
force and is sinking into a coma. Our “leaders” work for an occult cabal of
super rich perverts and criminals who secretly plot the end of Western
Civilization and world tyranny. They see us as animals to be trained or culled.
The good news is that the animals
“owe” them a lot of money for their fiat currency. So if we can tune out their
madness, we can relax. The chaos is controlled. Wars are all orchestrated and
they love money too much to destroy us, at least not yet. (As per Alex Jones
endgame documentary, they actually plan to reduce the population by 80%.)
The Aquarian Conspiracy
In
the spring of 1980, a book appeared called The Aquarian Conspiracy that put
itself forward as a manifesto of the counterculture. Defining the
counterculture as the conscious embracing of irrationality — from rock and
drugs to biofeedback, meditation, “consciousness-raising,” yoga, mountain
climbing, group therapy, and psychodrama. The Aquarian Conspiracy declares that
it is now time for the 15 million Americans involved in the counterculture to
join in bringing about a “radical change in the United States.”
Writes author Marilyn Ferguson:
“While outlining a not-yet-titled book about the emerging social alternatives,
I thought again about the peculiar form of this movement; its atypical
leadership, the patient intensity of its adherents, their unlikely successes.
It suddenly struck me that in their sharing of strategies, their linkage, and
their recognition of each other by subtle signals, the participants were not
merely cooperating with one another. They were in collusion. It — this movement
— is a conspiracy!”1
Ferguson used a half-truth to tell
a lie. The counterculture is a conspiracy — but not in the half-conscious way
Ferguson claim — as she well knows. Ferguson wrote her manifesto under the
direction of Willis Harman, social policy director of the Stanford Research Institute,
as a popular version of a May 1974 policy study on how to transform the United
States into Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. The counterculture is a conspiracy
at the top, created as a method of social control, used to drain the United
States of its commitment to scientific and technological progress.
That conspiracy goes back to the
1930s, when the British sent Aldous Huxley to the United States as the case
officer for an operation to prepare the United States for the mass
dissemination of drugs. We will take this conspiracy apart step-by-step from
its small beginnings with Huxley in California to the victimization of 15
million Americans today. With ‘The Aquarian Conspiracy’, the British Opium War
against the United States has come out into the open.
The Model
The British had a precedent for the counterculture they imposed upon the United
States: the pagan cult ceremonies of the decadent Egyptian and Roman Empires.
The following description of cult ceremonies dating back to the Egyptian Isis
priesthood of the third millennium B.C. could just as well be a journalistic
account of a “hippy be-in” circa A.D. 1969: “The acts or gestures that
accompany the incantations constitute the rite [of Isis). In these dances, the
beating of drums and the rhythm of music and repetitive movements were helped
by hallucinatory substances like hashish or mescal; these were consumed as
adjuvants to create the trance and the hallucinations that were taken to he the
visitation of the god. The drugs were sacred, and their knowledge was limited
to the initiated . . . Possibly because they have the illusion of satisfied
desires, and allowed the innermost feelings to escape, these rites acquired
during their execution a frenzied character that is conspicuous in certain
spells: “Retreat! Re is piercing thy head, slashing thy face, dividing thy
head, crushing it in his hands; thy bones are shattered, thy limbs are cut to
pieces!”2
The counterculture that was foisted
on the 1960s adolescent youth of America is not merely analogous to the ancient
cult of Isis. It is a literal resurrection of the cult down to the
popularization of the Isis cross (the “peace symbol”) as the counterculture’s
most frequently used symbol.
The High Priesthood
The
high priest for Britain’s Opium War was Aldous Huxley, the grandson of Thomas
H. Huxley, a founder of the Rhodes Roundtable group and a lifelong collaborator
of Arnold Toynbee. Toynbee himself sat on the RIIA council for nearly fifty
years, headed the Research Division of British intelligence throughout World
War II, and served as wartime briefing officer of Prime Minister Winston
Churchill. Toynbee’s “theory” of history, expounded in his twenty-volume
History of Western civilization, was that its determining culture has always
been the rise and decline of grand imperial dynasties. At the very point that
these dynasties — the “thousand year Reich” of the Egyptian pharaohs, the Roman
Empire, and the British Empire — succeed in imposing their rule over the entire
face of the earth, they tend to decline. Toynbee argued that this decline could
be abated if the ruling oligarchy (like that of the British Roundtable) would
devote itself to the recruitment and training of an ever-expanding priesthood
dedicated to the principles of imperial rule.3
Trained at Toynbee’s Oxford, Aldous
Huxley was one of the initiates in the “Children of the Sun,” a Dionysian cult
comprised of the children of Britain’s Roundtable elite.4 Among the other
initiates were T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, Sir Oswald Mosley, and D.H. Lawrence,
Huxley’s homosexual lover. It was Huxley, furthermore, who would launch the
legal battle in the 1950s to have Lawrence’s pornographic novel Lady
Chatterley’s Lover allowed into the United States on the ground that it was a
misunderstood “work of art.”5
Aldous Huxley, along with his
brother Julian, was tutored at Oxford by H.G. Wells, the head of British
foreign intelligence during World War I and the spiritual grandfather of the
Aquarian Conspiracy. Ferguson accurately sees the counterculture as the realization
of what Wells called The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution.
The “Open Conspiracy,” Wells wrote, “will appear first, I believe, as a
conscious organization of intelligent and quite possibly in some cases, wealthy
men, as a movement having distinct social and political aims, confessedly
ignoring most of the existing apparatus of political control, or using it only
as an incidental implement in the stages, a mere movement of a number of people
in a certain direction who will presently discover with a sort of surprise the
common object toward which they are all moving . . . In all sorts of ways they
will be influencing and controlling the apparatus of the ostensible
government.”6
What Ferguson left out is that
Wells called his conspiracy a “one-world brain” which would function as ” a
police of the mind.” Such books as the Open Conspiracy were for the priesthood
itself. But Wells’s popular writings (Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau,
and so forth), and those of his proteges Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) and
George Orwell (1984 and Animal Farm), were written as “mass appeal” organizing
documents on behalf of one-world order. Only in the United States are these
“science fiction classics” taught in grade school as attacks against fascism.
Under Wells’s tutelage, Huxley was
first introduced to Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a product of the cultist
circle that developed in Britain from the 1860s under the guiding influence of
Edward Bulwer-Lytton — who, it will be recalled, was the colonial minister
under Lord Palmerston during the Second Opium War. In 1886, Crowley, William
Butler Yeats, and several other Bulwer-Lytton proteges formed the Isis-Urania
Temple of Hermetic Students of the Golden Dawn. This Isis Cult was organized
around the 1877 manuscript Isis Unveiled by Madame Helena Blavatsky, in which
the Russian occultist called for the British aristocracy to organize itself
into an Isis priesthood.7
The subversive Isis Urania Order of
the Golden Dawn is today an international drug ring said to be controlled by
the Canadian multi-millionaire, Maurice Strong, who is also a top operative for
British Intelligence.
In 1937, Huxley was sent to the
United States, where he remained throughout the period of World War II. Through
a Los Angeles contact, Jacob Zeitlin, Huxley and pederast Christopher Isherwood
were employed as script writers for MGM, Warner Brothers, and Walt Disney
Studios. Hollywood was already dominated by organized crime elements bankrolled
and controlled through London. Joseph Kennedy was the frontman for a British
consortium that created RKO studios, and “Bugsy” Siegel, the West Coast boss of
the Lansky syndicate, was heavily involved in Warner Brothers and MGM.
Huxley founded a nest of Isis cults
in southern California and in San Francisco, that consisted exclusively of
several hundred deranged worshipers of Isis and other cult gods. Isherwood,
during the California period, translated and propagated a number of ancient Zen
Buddhist documents, inspiring Zen-mystical cults along the way.8
In effect, Huxley and Isherwood
(joined soon afterwards by Thomas Mann and his daughter Elisabeth Mann
Borghese) laid the foundations during the late 1930s and the 1940s for the
later LSD culture, by recruiting a core of “initiates” into the Isis cults that
Huxley’s mentors, Bulwer-Lytton, Blavatsky, and Crowley, had constituted while
stationed in India.
LSD: ‘Visitation from the Gods’
“Ironically,”
writes Ferguson, “the introduction of major psychedelics like LSD, in the
1960s, was largely attributable to the Central Intelligence Agency’s
investigation into the substances for possible military use. Experiments on
more than eighty college campuses, under various CIA code names,
unintentionally popularized LSD. Thousands of graduate students served as
guinea pigs. Soon they were synthesizing their own ‘acid.’ “9
The CIA operation was code named
MK-Ultra, its result was not unintentional, and it began in 1952, the year
Aldous Huxley returned to the United States.
Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD,
was developed in 1943 by Albert Hoffman, a chemist at Sandoz A.B. — a Swiss
pharmaceutical house owned by S.G. Warburg. While precise documentation is
unavailable as to the auspices under which the LSD research was commissioned,
it can be safely assumed that British intelligence and its subsidiary U.S.
Office of Strategic Services were directly involved. Allen Dulles, the director
of the CIA when that agency began MK-Ultra, was the OSS station chief in Berne,
Switzerland throughout the early Sandoz research. One of his OSS assistants was
James Warburg, of the same Warburg family, who was instrumental in the 1963
founding of the Institute for Policy Studies, and worked with both Huxley and
Robert Hutchins.”10
Aldous Huxley returned to the
United States from Britain, accompanied by Dr. Humphrey Osmond, the Huxleys’
private physician. Osmond had been part of a discussion group Huxley had
organized at the National Hospital, Queens Square, London. Along with another
seminar participant, J.R. Smythies, Osmond wrote Schizophrenia: A New Approach,
in which he asserted that mescaline — a derivative of the mescal cactus used in
ancient Egyptian and Indian pagan rites — produced a psychotic state identical
in all clinical respects to schizophrenia. On this basis, Osmond and Smythies
advocated experimentation with hallucinogenic drugs as a means of developing a
“cure” for mental disorders.
Osmond was brought in by Allen
Dulles to play a prominent role in MK-Ultra. At the same time, Osmond, Huxley,
and the University of Chicago’s Robert Hutchins held a series of secret
planning sessions in 1952 and 1953 for a second, private LSD mescaline project
under Ford Foundation funding.11 Hutchins, it will be recalled, was the program
director of the Ford Foundation during this period. His LSD proposal incited
such rage in Henry Ford II that Hutchins was fired from the foundation the
following year.
It was also in 1953 that Osmund
gave Huxley a supply of mescaline for his personal consumption. The next year,
Huxley wrote The Doors of Perception, the first manifesto of the psychedelic
drug cult, which claimed that hallucinogenic drugs “expand consciousness.”
Although the Ford Foundation rejected the Hutchins-Huxley proposal for private
foundation sponsorship of LSD, the proposal was not dropped. Beginning in 1962,
the Rand Corporation of Santa Monica, California began a four-year experiment
in LSD, peyote, and marijuana. The Rand Corporation was established
simultaneously with the reorganization of the Ford Foundation during 1949. Rand
was an outgrowth of the wartime Strategic Bombing Survey, a “cost analysis”
study of the psychological effects of the bombings of German population
centers.
According to a 1962 Rand Abstract,
W.H. McGlothlin conducted a preparatory study on “The Long-Lasting Effects of
LSD on Certain Attitudes in Normals: An Experimental Proposal.” The following
year, McGlothlin conducted a year-long experiment on thirty human guinea pigs,
called “Short-Term Effects of LSD on Anxiety, Attitudes and Performance.” The
study concluded that LSD improved emotional attitudes and resolved anxiety
problems.12
Huxley At Work Huxley expanded his
own LSD-mescaline project in California by recruiting several individuals who
had been initially drawn into the cult circles he helped establish during his
earlier stay. The two most prominent individuals were Alan Watts and the late
Dr. Gregory Bateson (the former husband of Dame Margaret Mead). Watts became a
self-styled “guru” of a nationwide Zen Buddhist cult built around his
well-publicized books. Bateson, an anthropologist with the OSS, became the
director of a hallucinogenic drug experimental clinic at the Palo Alto Veterans
Administration Hospital. Under Bateson’s auspices, the initiating “cadre” of
the LSD cult — the hippies — were programmed.13
Watts at the same time founded the
Pacifica Foundation, which sponsored two radio station WKBW in San Francisco
and WBM-FM in New York City. The Pacifica stations were among the first to push
the “Liverpool Sound” — the British-imported hard rock twanging of the Rolling
Stones, the Beatles, and the Animals. They would later pioneer “acid rock” and
eventually the self-avowed psychotic “punk rock.”
During the fall of 1960, Huxley was
appointed visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
Boston. Around his stay in that city, Huxley created a circle at Harvard
parallel to his West Coast LSD team. The Harvard group included Huxley, Osmund,
and Watts (brought in from California), Timothy Leary, and Richard Alpert.
The ostensible topic of the Harvard
seminar was “Religion and its Significance in the Modern Age.” The seminar was
actually a planning session for the “acid rock” counterculture. Huxley
established contact during this Harvard period with the president of Sandoz,
which at the time was working on a CIA contract to produce large quantities of
LSD and psilocybin (another synthetic hallucinogenic drug) for MK-Ultra, the
CIA’s official chemical warfare experiment. According to recently released CIA
documents, Allen Dulles purchased over 100 million doses of LSD — almost all of
which flooded the streets of the United States during the late 1960s. During
the same period, Leary began privately purchasing large quantities of LSD from
Sandoz as well.14
From the discussions of the Harvard
seminar, Leary put together the book The Psychedelic Experience, based on the
ancient cultist Tibetan Book of the Dead. It was this book that popularized
Osmund’s previously coined term, “psychedelic mind-expanding.”
The Roots of the Flower People
Back
in California, Gregory Bateson had maintained the Huxley operation out of the
Palo Alto VA hospital. Through LSD experimentation on patients already
hospitalized for psychological problems, Bateson established a core of
“initiates” into the “psychedelic” Isis Cult.
Foremost among his Palo Alto
recruits was Ken Kesey. In 1959, Bateson administered the first dose of “SD to
Kesey. By 1962, Kesey had completed a novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,
which popularized the notion that society is a prison and the only truly “free”
people are the insane.15
Kesey subsequently organized a
circle of “SD initiates called “The Merry Pranksters.” They toured the country
disseminating SD” (often without forewarning the receiving parties), building
up local distribution connections, and establishing the pretext for a high
volume of publicity on behalf of the still minuscule “counterculture.”
By 1967, the Kesey cult had handed
out such quantities of “SD that a sizable drug population had emerged, centered
in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Here Huxley collaborator
Bateson set up a “free clinic,” staffed by **Dr. David Smith — later a “medical
adviser” for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws
(NORML); **Dr. Ernest Dernberg an active-duty military officer, probably on
assignment through MK-UItra; **Roger Smith-a street gang organizer trained by
Saul Alinsky. During the Free Clinic period, Roger Smith was the parole officer
of the cultist mass murderer Charles Manson; **Dr. Peter Bourne — formerly
President Carter’s special assistant on drug abuse. Bourne did his psychiatric
residency at the Clinic. He had previously conducted a profiling study of GI
heroin addicts in Vietnam.
The Free Clinic paralleled a
project at the Tavistock Institute, the psychological warfare agency for the
British Secret Intelligence Service. Tavistock, founded as a clinic in London
in the 1920s, had become the Psychiatric Division of the British Army during
World War II under its director, Dr. John Rawlings Rees.16
During the 1960s, the Tavistock
Clinic fostered the notion that no criteria for sanity exist and that
psychedelic “mind-expanding” drugs are valuable tools of psychoanalysis. In
1967, Tavistock sponsored a Conference on the “Dialectics of Liberation,”
chaired by Tavistock psychoanalyst Dr. R.D. Laing, himself a popularized author
and advocate of drug use. That conference drew a number of people who would
soon play a prominent role in fostering terrorism; Angela Davis and Stokely
Carmichael were two prominent American delegates.
Thus, by 1963, Huxley had recruited
his core of “initiates.” All of them — Leary, Osmund, Watts, Kesey, Alpert —
became the highly publicized promoters of the early LSD counterculture. By
1967, with the cult of “Flower People” in Haight-Ashbury and the emergence of
the antiwar movement, the United States was ready for the inundation of LSD,
hashish and marijuana that hit American college campuses in the late 1960s.
‘The Beating of Drums . . .’
In
1963, the Beatles arrived in the United States, and with their decisive airing
on the Ed Sullivan Show, the “British sound” took off in the U.S.A. For their
achievement, the four rocksters were awarded the Order of the British Empire by
Her Majesty the Queen. The Beatles and the Animals, Rolling Stones, and
homicidal punk rock maniacs who followed were, of course, no more a spontaneous
outpouring of alienated youth than was the acid culture they accompanied.
The social theory of rock was
elaborated by musicologist Theodor Adorno, who came to the United States in
1939 to head the Princeton University Radio Research Project.17 Adorno writes:
“In an imaginary but psychologically emotion-laden domain, the listener who
remembers a hit song will turn into the song’s ideal subject, into the person
for whom the song ideally speaks. At the same time, as one of many who identify
with that fictitious subject, that musical I, he will feel his isolation ease
as he himself feels integrated into the community of “fans.” In whistling such
a song he bows to a ritual of socialization, although beyond this unarticulated
subjective stirring of the moment his isolation continues unchanged . . . The
comparison with addiction is inescapable. Addicted conduct generally has a
social component: it is one possible reaction to the atomization which, as
sociologists have noticed, parallels the compression of the social network.
Addiction to music on the part of a number of entertainment listeners would be
a similar phenomenon.”18
The hit parade is organized
precisely on the same principles used by Egypt’s Isis priesthood and for the
same purpose: the recruitment of youth to the dionysiac counterculture.
In a report prepared for the
University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, Paul Hirsch described
the product of Adorno’s Radio Research Project.19 According to Hirsch, the
establishment of postwar radio’s Hit Parade “transformed the mass medium into
an agency of sub-cultural programming. Radio networks were converted into round-the-clock
recycling machines that repeated the top forty hits.” Hirsch documents how all
popular culture — movies, music, books, and fashion — is now run on the same
program of preselection. Today’s mass culture operates like the opium trade:
The supply determines the demand.
The Vietnam War and the
Anti-Vietnam War Trap
But
without the Vietnam War and the “anti-war” movement, the Isis cult would have
been contained to a fringe phenomenon — no bigger than the beatnik cult of the
1950s that was an outgrowth of the early Huxley ventures in California. The
Vietnam War created the climate of moral despair that opened America’s youth to
drugs.
Under Kennedy, American military
involvement in Vietnam — which had been vetoed by the Eisenhower administration
— was initiated on a limited scale. Under Lyndon Johnson, American military
presence in Vietnam was massively escalated, at the same time that U.S. efforts
were restricted — the framework of “limited war.” Playing on the President’s
profile, the anglophile Eastern Establishment, typified by top White House
national security aide McGeorge Bundy and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara,
convinced President Johnson that under the nuclear “balance of terror,” or the
regime of Mutual and Assured Destruction, the United States could afford
neither a political solution to the conflict, nor the commitment to a military
victory.
The outcome of this debacle was a
major strategic withdrawal from Asia by the United States, spelled out in Henry
Kissinger’s “Guam Doctrine,” adoption of the spectacular failure known as the
“China Card” strategy for containing Soviet influence, and demoralization of
the American people over the war to the point that the sense of national pride
and confidence in the future progress of the republic was badly damaged.
Just as Aldous Huxley began the
counterculture subversion of the United States thirty years before its
consequences became evident to the public, Lord Bertrand Russell began laying
the foundations for the anti-war movement of the 1960s before the 1930s
expired. Russell’s “pacifism” was always relative — the means to his most
cherished end, one-world government on the imperial model, that would curb the
nation-state and its persistent tendency toward republicanism and technological
progress.
Lord Russell and Aldous Huxley
cofounded the Peace Pledge Union in 1937 campaigning for peace with Hitler-just
before both went to the United States for the duration of World War.20 During
World War II, Lord Russell opposed British and American warfare against the
Nazis. 1111947, when the United States was in possession of the atomic bomb and
Russia was not, Russell loudly advocated that the United States order the
Soviets to surrender to a one-world government that would enjoy a restrictive
monopoly on nuclear weapons, under the threat of a preemptive World War III
against the Soviet Union. His 1950s “Ban the Bomb” movement was directed to the
same end-it functioned as an anti-technology movement against the
peace-through-economic development potentials represented by President
Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace”‘ initiative.
From the mid-1950s onward,
Russell’s principal assignment was to build an international anti-war and
anti-American movement. Coincident with the escalation of U.S. involvement in
Vietnam under British manipulation, Russell upgraded the old Peace Pledge Union
(which had been used in West Germany throughout the postwar period to promote
an anti-capitalist “New left” wing of the Social Democratic Party, recruiting
several future members of the Baader-Meinhof terrorist gang in the process)
into the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation.
In the United States, the New York
banks provided several hundred thousand dollars to establish the Institute for
Policy Studies (IPS), effectively the U.S. branch of the Russell Peace
Foundation. Among the founding trustees of the IPS was James Warburg, directly
representing the family’s interests.
IPS drew its most active operatives
from a variety of British-dominated institutions. IPS founding director Marcus
Raskin was a member of the Kennedy administration’s National Security Council
and also a fellow of the National Training Labs, a U.S. subsidiary of the
Tavistock Institute founded by Dr. Kurt Lewin.
After its creation by the League
for Industrial Democracy, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the umbrella
of the student anti-war movement, was in turn financed and run through IPS — up
through and beyond its splintering into a number of terrorist and Maoist gangs
in the late 1960s.21 More broadly, the institutions and outlook of the U.S.
anti-war movement were dominated by the direct political descendants of the
British-dominated “socialist movement” in the U.S.A., fostered by the House of
Morgan as far back as the years before World War!.
This is not to say that the
majority of anti-war protesters were paid, certified British agents. On the
contrary, the overwhelming majority of anti-war protesters went into SDS on the
basis of outrage at the developments in Vietnam. But once caught in the
environment defined by Russell and the Tavistock Institute’s psychological
warfare experts, and inundated with the message that hedonistic
pleasure-seeking was a legitimate alternative to “immoral war,” their sense of
values and their creative potential went up in a cloud of hashish smoke.
‘Changing Images’
Now,
fifteen years later, with nearly an entire generation of American youth
submerged in the drugs that flooded the nation’s campuses, the Aquarian
Conspiracy’s Marilyn Ferguson is able to write: “There are legions of [Aquarian]
conspirators. They are in corporations, universities, and hospitals, on the
faculties of public schools, in factories and doctors’ offices, in state and
federal agencies, on city councils, and the White House staff, in state
legislatures, in volunteer organizations, in virtually all arenas of policy
making in the country.”22
Like the British inundation of
China with drugs in the nineteenth century, the British counterculture has
succeeded in. subverting the fabric of the nation, even up to the top-most
levels of government.
In 1962, Huxley helped found the
Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, which became a mecca for hundreds of
Americans to engage in weekends of T-Groups and Training Groups modeled on
behavior group therapy, for Zen, Hindu, and Buddhist transcendental meditation,
and “out of body” experiences through simulated and actual hallucinogenic
drugs.23
As described in the Esalen
Institute Newsletter: “Esalen started in the fall of 1962 as a forum to bring
together a wide variety of approaches to enhancement of the human potential . .
. including experiential sessions involving encounter groups, sensory
awakening, gestalt awareness training, related disciplines. Our latest step is
to fan out into the community at large, running programs in cooperation with
many different institutions, churches, schools, hospitals, and government.” 24
Esalen’s nominal founders were two
transcendental meditation students, Michael Murphy and Richard Price, both
graduates of Stanford University. Price also participated in the experiments on
patients at Bateson’s Palo Alto Veterans Hospital. Today Esalen’s catalogue
offers: T-Groups; Psychodrama Marthon; Fight Training for Lovers and Couples;
Religious Cults; LSD Experiences and the Great Religions of the World; Are You
Sound, a weekend workshop with Alan Watts; Creating New Forms of Worship;
Hallucinogenic Psychosis; and Non-Drug Approaches to Psychedelic Experiences.
Several tens of thousands of
Americans have passed through Esalen; millions have passed through the programs
it has sired throughout the country.
The next leap in Britain’s Aquarian
Conspiracy against the United States was the May 1974 report that provided the
basis for Ferguson’s work. The report is entitled “Changing Images of Man,”
Contract Number URH (489~215O, Policy Research Report No. 414.74, prepared by
the Stanford Research Institute Center for the Study of Social Policy, Willis
Harman, director. The 319-page mimeographed report was prepared by a team of
fourteen researchers and supervised by a panel of twenty-three controllers,
including anthropologist Margaret Mead, psychologist B.F. Skinner, Ervin Laszlo
of the United Nations, Sir Geoffrey Vickers of British intelligence.
The aim of the study, the authors
state, is to change the image of mankind from that of industrial progress to
one of “spiritualism.” The study asserts that in our present society, the
“image of industrial and technological man” is obsolete and must be
“discarded”: “Many of our present images appear to have become dangerously
obsolete, however . . . Science, technology, and economics have made possible
really significant strides toward achieving such basic human goals as physical
safety and security, material comfort and better health. But many of these
successes have brought with them problems of being too successful — problems
that themselves seem insoluble within the set of societal value-premises that
led to their emergence . . . Our highly developed system of technology leads to
higher vulnerability and breakdowns. Indeed the range and interconnected impact
of societal problems that are now emerging pose a serious threat to our
civilization . . . If our predictions of the future prove correct, we can
expect the association problems of the trend to become more serious, more
universal and to occur more rapidly.”
Therefore, SRI concludes, we must
change the industrial-technological image of man fast: “Analysis of the nature
of contemporary societal problems leads to the conclusion that . . . the images
of man that dominated the last two centuries will be inadequate for the
post-industrial era.”
Since the writing of the Harman
report, one President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, reported sighting
UFOs his National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski made speeches proclaiming
the advent of the New Age, the Joint Chiefs of Staff every morning read
so-called intelligence reports on the biorhythms and horoscopes of the members
of the Soviet Politburo. The House of Representatives established a new
congressional committee, called the Congressional Clearinghouse on the Future,
where the likes of Ferguson have come to lecture up to a hundred congressmen.25
What began as Britain’s creation of
the counterculture to open the market for its dope has come a long way.
The LSD Connection
Who
provided the drugs that swamped the anti-war movement and the college campuses
of the United States in the late 1960s? The organized crime infrastructure
which had set up the Peking Connection for the opium trade in 1928 — provided
the same services in the 1960s and 1970s it had provided during Prohibition.
This was also the same network Huxley had established contact with in Hollywood
during the 1930s. The LSD connection begins with one William “Billy” Mellon
Hitchcock. Hitchcock was a graduate of the University of Vienna and a scion of
the millionaire Mellon banking family of Pittsburgh. (Andrew Mellon of the same
family had been the U.S. Treasury Secretary throughout Prohibition.) In 1963,
when Timothy Leary was thrown out of Harvard, Hitchcock rented a
fifty-five-room mansion in Millbrook, New York, where the entire Leary-Huxley
circle of initiates was housed until its later move back to California.26
Hitchcock was also a broker for the
Lansky syndicate and for the Fiduciary Trust Co., Nassau, Grand Bahamas — a
wholly owned subsidiary of Investors Overseas Services. He was formally
employed by Delafield and Delafield Investments, where he worked on buying and
selling vast quantities of stock in the Mary Carter Paint Co., soon to become
Resorts International.
In 1967, Dr. Richard Alpert put
Hitchcock in contact with Augustus Owsley Stanley III. As Owsley’s agent,
Hitchcock retained the law firm of Babinowitz, Boudin and Standard 27 — to
conduct a feasibility study of several Caribbean countries to determine the
best location for the production and distribution of LSD and hashish.
During this period, Hitchcock
joined Leary and his circle in California. Leary had established an LSD cult
called the Brotherhood of Eternal Love and several front companies, including
Mystics Art World, Inc. of Laguna Beach, California. These California-based
entities ran lucrative trafficking in Mexican marijuana and LSD brought in from
Switzerland and Britain. The British connection had been established directly
by Hitchcock, who contracted the Charles Bruce chemical firm to import large
quantities of the chemical components of LSD with financing from both Hitchcock
and George Grant Hoag, the heir to the J.C. Penney dry goods fortune, the
Brotherhood of Eternal Love set up LSD and hashish production-marketing
operations in Costa Rica in 1968. 28
Toward the end of 1968, Hitchcock
expanded the LSD-hashish production operations in the Caribbean with funds
provided by the Fiduciary Trust Co. (IOS). In conjunction with J. Vontobel and
Co. of Zurich, Hitchcock founded a corporation called 4-Star Anstalt in
Liechtenstein. This company, employing “investment funds” (that is, drug
receipts) from Fiduciary Trust, bought up large tracts of land in the Grand
Bahamas as well as large quantities of ergotamine tartrate, the basic chemical
used in the production of LSD.29
Hitchcock’s personal hand in the
LSD connection abruptly ended several years later. Hitchcock had been working
closely with Johann F. Parravacini of the Parravacini Bank Ltd in Berne,
Switzerland. From 1968, they had together funded even further expansion of the
Caribbean-California LSD-hashish ventures. In the early 1970s, as the result of
a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, both Hitchcock and
Parravacini were indicted and convicted of a $40 million stock fraud.
Parravacini had registered a $40 million sale to Hitchcock for which Hitchcock
had not put down a penny of cash or collateral. This was one of the rare
instances in which federal investigators succeeded in getting inside the $200
billion drug fund as it was making its way around the “offshore” banking
system.
Another channel for laundering
dirty drug money — a channel yet to be compromised by federal investigative
agencies is important to note here. This is the use of tax-exempt foundations
to finance terrorism and environmentalism. One immediately relevant case makes
the point.
In 1957, the University of
Chicago’s Robert M. Hutchins established the Center for the Study of Democratic
Institutions (CSDI) in Santa Barbara, California. Knight Commander Hutchins
drew in Aldous Huxley, Elisabeth Mann Borghese, and some Rhodes Scholars who
had originally been brought into the University of Chicago during the 1930s and
1940s.
The CSDI was originally funded 1957
to 1961 through a several-million-dollar fund that Hutchins managed to set up
before his untimely departure from the Ford Foundation. From 1961 onward, the
Center was principally financed by organized crime. The two funding conduits
were the Fund of Funds, a tax exempt front for Bernie Cornfeld’s lOS, and the
Parvin Foundation, a parallel front for Parvin-Dohnnan Co. of Nevada. IOS and
Marvin-Doorman held controlling interests in the Desert Inn, the Aladdin, and
the Dune — all Las Vegas casinos associated with the Lansky syndicate. IOS, as
already documented, was a conducting vehicle for LSD, hashish, and marijuana
distribution throughout the 1960s.30 In 1967 alone, IOS channeled between $3
and $4 million to the center. Wherever there is dope, there is Dope, Inc.

FRAGMENTARY
AQUARIAN CHRONOLOGY
In
the 1820s De Quincy confessed to the high incidence of opium eating among the
English aristocrats and artists of his day. Among habitual users of Laudanum
and morphine have been included Coleridge, Dickens, Carlyle, Rossetti,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning and the poet Laureate Tennyson. Britain’s Foreign
Minister, Lord John Russell and Anthony Ashley Cooper (Earl of Shaftesbury)
“guided the political training of ex-American George Peabody, founder of the
Morgan financial empire.” In 1857 Morgan and Peabody were saved by an emergency
line of credit (800,000 pounds) furnished by the Bank of England with Barings a
guarantor of the loan. Peabody later become friends with the “top racial
ideologues in British science, Thomas Huxley and Charles Darwin.”
The American Museum of Natural
History, of which the main functions are education, research, exhibition, and
publication, was founded in 1869 by a group of wealthy men, among whom was the
elder J. P. Morgan. Inspired by the urging of a young naturalist, Albert Smith
Bickmore, and by the theories of Darwin and Huxley which had suddenly given a
new interpretation to the origin of life, the group resolved to found a museum
that would be the “means of teaching our youth to appreciate the wonderful
works of the Creator.”
The British biologist Julian Sorell
Huxley (1887-1975), contributed to knowledge in embryology, systematics,
genetics, ethology, and evolutionary studies. He studied the development of
many organisms, writing, with Sir Gavin De Beer, Elements of Experimental Embryology
(1934). Huxley presented many of his ideas of evolutionary mechanisms in
Evolution: The Modern Synthesis (1942). In 1946 he was appointed the first
director general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO). In 1948 Sir Julian Huxley, called for a radical eugenic
policy in UNESCO: “Thus, even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic
policy of controlled human breeding will be for many years politically and
psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the
eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care and that the public mind is
informed of the issues at stake that much that is now unthinkable may at least
become thinkable.” The fact that emergence of an organized youth-counterculture
around “post-industrial” utopianism reflected the emergence of the
forementioned types of psycho-social conditioning, should not be read as
evidence that the emergence of the movement itself was in any sense
“spontaneous,” or “natural.” Very little in modern history has been less
natural, indeed more unnatural, than the self-styled nature cult which has
grown up, “on behalf of the environment,” around the 1961 initiatives of Prince
Philip’s and Prince Bernhard’s reactionary World Wildlife Fund. The members of
the new youth-counterculture were virtually campus-laboratory guinea-pigs,
whose behavior was induced and directed, from the top-down, from the outset.
The environment preparing this
operation was established as early as the 1920s, under British Brigadier Dr.
John Rawlings Rees of the London Tavistock Clinic. The entire operation was
dominated by relatively highly refined methods of mass-brainwashing, assisted
by such networks as the Lewin centers at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the network of Freudian and kindred
brainwashing networks, such as “MK-Ultra,” spun out from under the direction of
Julian Huxley at the UNO and the London Tavistock Clinic. His humanistic
beliefs were set forth in the classic Religion Without Revelation (1957). “I
use the word ‘Humanist’ to mean someone who believes that man . . . his body,
his mind, and his soul were not supernaturally created but are all products of
evolution,” Julian Huxley once said. In 1957 Julian Huxley wrote: “And the
relation to practical existence may be one of escape, as in asceticism or pure
Buddhism; or of full participation, as in classical Greece or the city-states
of ancient Mesopotamia; or of rendering unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars’s, as in usual Christian practice.” The IUCN has lately produced the
UN’s Global Biodiversity Assessment, which suggests that the human population
should be reduced to one billion. From the very beginning key UN figures such
as Brock Chisholm, Julian Huxley and Paul G. Hoffman “were promoting
anti-natalist policies.” The United Nations is a specific example of Humanism
at work. The first Director General of UNESCO, the UN organization promoting
education, science, and culture, was the 1962 Humanist of the Year Julian
Huxley, who practically drafted UNESCO’S charter by himself. The first
Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) was the 1959 Humanist
of the Year Brock Chisholm. One of this organization’s greatest accomplishments
has been the wiping of smallpox from the face of the earth. And the first
Director-General of the Food and Agricultural Organization was British Humanist
John Boyd Orr. The poppy seed from which it is derived was long known to the
Moguls of India, who used the seeds mixed in tea offered to a difficult
opponent. It is also used as a pain-killing drug which largely replaced
chloroform and other older anesthetics of a bygone era. Opium was popular in
all of the fashionable clubs of Victorian London and it was no secret that men
like the Huxley brothers used it extensively. Members of the Orphic-Dionysus
cults of Hellenic Greece and the Osiris-Horus cults of Ptolemaic Egypt which
Victorian society embraced, all smoked opium; it was the “in” thing to do.
Entering the University of Vermont
(which was located in Burlington) at the early age of fifteen, Dewey still
evinced no special talent, until in his senior year he led his class and won
the highest marks on record in philosophy. This transformation in Dewey’s
scholastic record was occasioned by his accidental perusal of a physiology
textbook written by Thomas Henry Huxley, the foremost supporter in England of
Darwin’s theory of evolution. Awakened to the excitement of the effort to
understand the world, and beginning to doubt his early moralistic beliefs,
Dewey delved into philosophy for an answer to the conflict between revealed
dogma and the findings of science. This was the beginning of Dewey’s lifelong
task of reconciling these two poles.
In 1890 Fabian Havelock Ellis saw
the leadership of women as a source of renewal.
Aldous Leonard Huxley was born on
July 26, 1894 in Surrey, England. He was “the beloved son of English
intellectual aristocrats.” His father Leonard was an editor and minor poet. His
mother was the former Julia Arnold. A granduncle, Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)
was a celebrated poet and critic.
Aldous’s Round Table father, Thomas
Henry Huxley (1825-1895), was a Victorian scientist, essayist, defender of
Darwin (evolutionist) and an agnostic. T.H. Huxley, on the eve of the
publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species, promised to support Darwin’s
thesis. However, he warned that he had burdened his argument unnecessarily. He
was so vociferous in his defense that he earned the nickname “Darwin’s
Bulldog.” He once said: “It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as
heresies and to end as superstitions.” Huxley’s Man’s Place in Nature (1863)
embroiled him in further controversy; it espoused the idea that the closest
relatives of humans are the anthropoid apes. Having studied under Professor
Thomas H. Huxley, H. G. Wells went on to teach school in North Wales. Huxley
described his Church of Humanity as “Catholicism minus Christianity”. To Huxley
the only good Church was a dead Church. Huxley adopted David Hume’s philosophy.
He professed belief in God and cut the ground from under every argument for his
existence. Sir Leslie Stephen in the Dictionary of National Biography
pronounced him “the acutest thinker in Great Britain in the 18th Century” and
exposed the clerical libels about his last hours. Huxley was not only one of
the most decorated men of science of his time, but all his life an outspoken
agnostic (a term which he himself coined to avoid the harshness of atheist).
Pious folk spread a myth about conversion late in life but his son Leonard
shows in his biography of his father that all this is nonsense. A few months
before he died he said to his son: “The most remarkable achievement of the Jew
was to impose on Europe for 18 centuries his own superstitions.”
Patrick Geddes (1854- ) held summer
meeting at the Edinburgh school, utilizing the Outlook Tower to preach his
three S’s; 1) sympathy for people and the environment, 2) synthesis of all
factors relating to a case, and 3) synergy — the combined cooperative action of
everyone involved (Boardman 15). As Meller wrote, “Geddes felt that he had
formed a new philosophy of education which incorporated the many methods he had
learned from Le Play, Comte, Huxley, and others during his endeavors into
biology civics, and geography.”
In 1898 Havelock Ellis reported to
the Smithsonian Institution: “If it ever should chance that the consumption of
mescal becomes a habit, the favorite poet of the mescal drinker will certainly
be Wordsworth. Not only the general attitude of Wordsworth, but many of his
most memorable poems and phrases cannot — one is almost tempted to say — be
appreciated in their full significance by one who has never been under the
influence of mescal. On these grounds it may be claimed that the artificial
paradise of mescal, though less seductive, is safe and dignified beyond its
peers.” At the turn of the century, both William James and Havelock Ellis
undertook their study of hallucinogenic agents. James used nitrous oxide
(apparently to avoid bad stomach cramps) while Ellis used the newly discovered
peyote.
In 1902 William James of Harvard
“redefined religion” as an “experience rather than a dogma.”
The Bakers were prominent in
supporting eugenics and utopian-feudalist social engineering. Captain James A.
Baker, so the story goes, the grandfather of the current boss of Foggy Bottom,
solved the murder of his client William Marsh Rice and took control of Rice’s
huge estate. Baker used the money to start Rice University and became the
chairman of the school’s board of trustees. Baker sought to create a center for
diffusion of racist eugenics, and for this purpose brought in Julian Huxley of
the infamous British oligarchical family to found the biology program at Rice
starting in 1912. Huxley was the vice president of the British Eugenics Society
and actually helped to organize “race science” programs for the Nazi Interior
Ministry, before becoming the founding director general of UNESCO in 1946-48.
James A. Baker III (CFR) was born April 28, 1930, in the fourth generation of
his family’s wealth. Baker holdings have included Exxon, Mobil, Atlantic
Richfield, Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil of Indiana, Kerr-mcgee,
Merck and Freeport Minerals. Baker also held stock in some large New York Banks
during the time that he was negotiating the Latin American debt crisis in his
capacity as secretary of the treasury. Secretary Baker’s family wealth and
power came from their representing Harriman, the international oil companies
and George Bush’s Zapata Petroleum, all sponsors of the population control, or
ban-dark-babies movement. This movement is synonymous with the Scottish Rite.
Aldous Huxley’s mother died when he
was 14. Three years later an eye infection left him blind for 18 months.
Although his sight improved, he was plagued with poor vision all his life. He
was 6’4″, thin and fragile. His head was high-brow and had a lot of hair. “He
tended to be a spiffy dresser, wearing suits in subtle colors, a watch and
chain, sometimes a reptile tie, other times a wide-brimmed hat.” He studied at
Eton and than at Balliol College, Oxford. He wanted to become a Doctor but an
eye infection nearly blinded him which caused him to abandon this dream and
probably accounted for the bitterness in his writings and his aversion to the
human body. In 1916 he took a degree at Oxford. He was friendly with Lord
Philip and Lady Ottoline Morrell — famous leaders of the Bloomsbury group. It
was at their country place that he met D.H. Lawrence. Huxley said Eliot was
“curiously dull — as a result, perhaps, of being, at last, happy in his second
marriage.” In 1919 he married Maria Nys, a Belgian refugee. They had one son —
Matthew. As a journalist, Huxley wrote and published two volumes of symbolist
poetry. “Following the war, he flirted briefly with the then-triumphant,
predominantly English imagist movement.”
Before the end of 1918, in the
first postwar election, Captain Sitwell was contesting Scarborough as a Liberal
candidate for Parliament. He lost the election, but secured 8,000 votes to his
Tory opponent’s 12,000. Simultaneously, Sitwell entered upon another new career
as joint literary editor, with Herbert Read, of the quarterly Art and Letters.
A few years before, Sitwell had known no contemporary writers but his own
sister; he was now ideally placed to remedy that lack. With his brother, he had
taken a London house on Swan Walk where there were more pictures than
furniture, and French paintings hung even in the kitchen. Sitwell’s guest list
at Swan Walk, and later at 2 Carlyle Square, resembled the index to a history
of modern literature. Arnold Bennett, in his diary for June 15, 1919, approved
of the dinner and the decor he had found at Swan Walk and noted that his dining
companions included, among others, W. H. Davies, Lytton Strachey, Siegfried Sassoon,
Aldous Huxley, Leonard Woolf, and Herbert Read. The sexual perversions of
Bloomsbury were a deliberate statement of moral autonomy. Homosexuality,
according to Keynes and his sometimes lover Lytton Strachey, was the supreme
state of existence, “passing Christian understanding,” and superior to
heterosexual relationships. The ethical superiority of homosexuality lay in its
striking opposition to the external morals of the Victorian era, and the moral
laws of God. As Deacon surmised, Keynes’ homosexuality was ultimately a
rebellion “against the Puritan ethic: he hated Puritanism in any form . . .”
Although Keynes attended religious services until in his teens, as he once
explained to a friend, he was confident that Huxley had exploded the whole
Christian religion. He wrote another friend, telling him that Christians were
irrational and exhibited stubborn pride: “They don’t want to admit that a
position they’ve taken up with confidence is untenable.” According to Keynes,
Christianity represented “tradition, convention and hocus pocus.” As a young
man at Cambridge Keynes became involved with a secret society called the
“Apostles” which included such notables as Lytton Strachey, Roger Fry, Clive
Bell and Leonard Woolf. It was an association that was to last a lifetime. Many
of the Apostles, including Keynes, were later to become regular members of the
“Bloomsbury Group” named after the Bloomsbury district of London where the
group regularly met. The Apostles (and later the Bloomsbury group) were quite
taken by the philosophy of G. E. Moore, a once fervent Quaker who, losing his
faith, became a thorough philosophical sceptic. As Keynes’s biographer, Robert
Skidelsky, concluded, as far as the Bloomsburries were concerned, the value of
Moore’s book, Principia Ethica, lay chiefly in its “rational justification of a
rearrangement of values.” They were looking for an ethic which would release
them from the duties required of Victorian gentlemen. And in their eyes,
Moore’s book provided just this.
In 1921 Huxley turned to more
creative writing. After two volumes of short stories, he began a series of
novels. His sophisticated satire caused him to become known as a prophet of
doom for the cult of the amusing. His reputation was firmly established by his
first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), a witty satire on the intellectual
pretensions of his time. In 1923 Aldous Huxley, 29, English novelist-critic
published Antic Hay. His most celebrated novel — Point Counter Point — appeared
ten years following World War I. The hero was said to have been modeled after
D.H. Lawrence.
Huxley met the writer Gerald Heard
who imparted to him a quasi mystical notion of the evolutionary development of
human consciousness.
Between 1923-1933 Huxley visited
Italy where he saw much of Lawrence and became “a kind of disciple.” In 1933 he
edited the letters of the dead Lawrence.
Huxley’s early comic novels, which
include Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925), and Point Counter Point
(1928), demonstrated his ability to dramatize intellectual debate in fiction;
he discussed philosophical and social topics in a volume of essays, Proper
Studies (1927).
In 1924 a collection of Huxley’s
poetry was published.
John Middleton Murry (1889-1957)
was prominent on the English literary scene for three decades. Murry was editor
of the literary journals the Athenauem (1919-21) and Adelphi> (1923-48), the
husband of writer Katherine Mansfield, and friend to such luminaries as Aldous
Huxley and D. H. Lawrence. Huxley caricatured Murry as the pretentiously
“spiritual” editor, Burlap, in his novel Point Counter Point (1928).
In the 1930s, biology professor
Hermann J. Muller lost his job (under the otherwise liberal president H.Y.
Benedict) because he had written for a Marxist student publication without
obtaining permission. Muller later won the Nobel Prize, at Indiana in 1946, for
work he did at Texas that led to blood plasma transfusions, which saved tens of
thousands of lives in World War II. A politically naive leftist in the 1930s,
Muller won Julian Huxley’s praise as “the greatest living geneticist.”
In both fiction and nonfiction
Huxley became increasingly critical of Western civilization in the 1930s. Brave
New World (1932), his most celebrated work, is a bitterly satiric account of an
inhumane society controlled by technology, in which art and religion have been
abolished and human beings reproduce by artificial fertilization. Huxley’s
distress at what he regarded as the spiritual bankruptcy of the modern world
led him toward mysticism and the use of hallucinatory drugs. Huxley, suggested
a world where people went to the “feelies” rather than the movies, where men
were attended by “pneumatic girls” (a phrase borrowed from T.S. Elliot’s poem
“Whispers of Immortality”) and where reproduction would be controlled by the state.
The perfect psychedelic, soma, was described: “Euphoric, narcotic, pleasantly
hallucinant — all the advantages of Christianity and alcohol, none of their
drawbacks.” In the preface to his Brave New World Revisited (p. viii) Huxley
wrote, “If I were now to rewrite the book, I would offer a third alternative .
. . the possibility of sanity . . . Economics would be decentralist and Henry
Georgian.”
In 1931 Aldous Huxley read
Phantastica and wrote a scathing condemnation of “all existing drugs” in the Chicago
Herald Examiner. He concluded that the solution was not prohibition but the
search for better drugs.
In 1933 the Tales of Jacob by
Thomas Mann were published. In October 1933 the magazine Esquire began
publication and included writing by Hemingway and Aldous Huxley.
In 1934 Aldous Huxley visited
Central America.
In 1936 Aldous Huxley published
Eyeless in Gaza. He termed chastity “the most unnatural of the sexual
perversions.” Frederick Matthias Alexander — one of the founders of the
Alexander method — was used by Huxley as his model for the anthropologist
Miller. The novel portrayed its central character’s conversion from selfish
isolation to transcendental mysticism. In 1936 Huxley’s transition to mystical
writings began. “Because Crowley had extensive contacts with the European
secret societies his specialist knowledge was used by the SIS [Britain’s Secret
Intelligence Service] for ‘Black Propaganda’ purposes. Crowley had confided to
the writer Aldous Huxley in 1938 when they met in Berlin that Hitler was a
practicing occultist. He also claimed that the OTO had helped the Nazis to gain
power.”
The story of the first LSD is
well-known — of concoction in 1938, and then discovery of dramatic psychoactive
effects when Albert Hofmann five years later swallowed 1/4,000ths of a gram
(250 micrograms).
Christopher Isherwood (1904-) was a
follower of Swami Prabhavananda, a playwright and fiction writer who translated
the Bhagavad-Gita and other Hindu writings from Sanskrit. He converted from
Anglicalism to Hinduism. During World War II he was a pacifist and served
alternative service with the Quakers. He became a convert to the Vedanta
Society.
Huxley became interest in “eclectic
mysticism” at a time of the intense fundamentalist religious revival in
California. Huxley borrowed from Wells the phrase “Doors in a Wall.” This referred
to the use of drugs in death cult rituals. Huxley called drugs “modifiers of
conscience” and said that hallucinatory drugs had been used since the earliest
recorded history. Huxley dabbled in drugs such as the Mandrake plant. Many who
have been encouraged to use drugs have died prematurely through overdosing or
by suicide.
In a 1940 letter Aldous Huxley said
that he was “profoundly optimistic about individuals and groups of individuals
existing on the margins of society.”
Orwell contested Huxley’s vision in
Brave New World because he believed that it did not provide an accurate picture
of the mechanisms of power in the totalitarian present and future. In a 1940
essay, Orwell wrote: “Mr. Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World was a good caricature
of the hedonistic Utopia, the kind of thing that seemed possible and even
imminent before Hitler appeared, but it had no relation to the actual future.
What we are moving towards at this moment is something more like the Spanish
Inquisition, and probably far worse, thanks to the radio and the secret
police.” In an article on “Prophecies of Fascism” in the same era, Orwell made
similar claims: “In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, a sort of post-war parody
of the Wellsian Utopia, these tendencies are immensely exaggerated. Here the
hedonistic principle is pushed to its utmost, the whole world has turned into a
Riviera hotel. But though Brave New World was a brilliant caricature of the
present (the present of 1930), it probably casts no light on the future.”
Huxley wrote to his brother Julian
that social transformation could be obtained by an attack on all fronts —
economic, political, educational and psychological. In 1942 Aldous Huxley
published The Art of Seeing.
Gerald Heard first visited Black
Mountain with his friend Aldous Huxley in 1937. He was so taken with the idea
of learning communities that he went on to found Trabuco College in Ventura,
California, in 1942.
Huxley’s writing culminated in a
rather complete exposition of the mystical way in 1945 — The Perennial Philosophy.
At the close of World War II he
wrote: “Between ivory towerism on the one hand and direct political action on
the other lies the alternative of spirituality. And between the totalitarian
fascism and totalitarian socialism lies the alternative of decentralism and
cooperative enterprise–the economic-political system most natural to
spirituality.” What some called “dream killers” Huxley called “bad artists.”
“[(S)uch propagandists] accomplish
their greatest triumphs, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing.
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence
about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects . . . totalitarian
propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could
have done by the most eloquent denunciations, the most compelling of logical
rebuttals. — Aldous Huxley, Brave New World (1946, revised forward).
Huxley, who moved to southern
California in 1947, was primarily a moral philosopher who used fiction during
his early career as a vehicle for ideas; in his later writing, which consists
largely of essays, he adopts an overtly didactic tone. Like his contemporaries
D. H. Lawrence and George Orwell, Huxley abhorred conformity and denounced the
orthodox attitudes of his time. The enormous range of his intellect and the
pungency of his writing make him one of the most significant voices of the
early 20th century. “As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual
freedom tends . . . to increase. And the dictator . . . will do well to
encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the
influence of dope, the movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his
subjects to the servitude which is their fate.” — Aldous Huxley, Brave New
World (1948).
Huxley wrote a letter to Orwell in
1949 stating: “The philosophy of the ruling minority in 1984 is a sadism which
has been carried to its logical conclusion by going beyond sex and denying it.
Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on
indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will
find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for
power, and that these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New
World.”
The Societe Europeenne de Culture,
a think tank created in 1950 through the efforts of Venetian intelligence
operative Umberto Campagnolo, has for the past three decades pulled
intellectuals from both East and West into organizing for an “international
culture,” based on rejecting the existence of sovereign nations. The SEC
counted among its members the cream of the postwar intelligentsia: Adam Schaff
of Poland, Bertolt Brecht of East Germany, Georg Lukas of Hungary, and Boris
Paternak of the Soviet Union, as well as Stephen Spender and Arnold Toynbee,
Benedetto Croce and Norberto Bobbio, Julian Huxley and Thomas Mann, Francois
Mauriac, and Jean Cocteau. Later, the SEC launched the Third World national
liberation ideology.
Andrijah Puharich was born in 1918.
He received medical degree from Northwestern University in 1947. Reportedly a
friend of Aldous Huxley. In 1952 he had first contact with “the Nine”, the
highest minds in the universe, through a medium.
Aldous Huxley’s 1952 book, The
Devils of Louden, was inspired by a 1632 incident in Louden, France. Jeanne des
Anges, a nun, suffered nightmarish erotic hallucinations after being spurned by
Cure Grandier — who was burned at the stake.
Psychedelics (hallucinogens) such
as mescaline (derived from the cactus peyote) and psilocybin (which comes from
a Mexican mushroom) were originally eaten by primitive men to induce visions.
Huxley, in his “remarkable work,” reported his experiences with mescaline.
Huxley’s persuasive book was one of the first modern works to put forward any
kind of argument for experimental drug taking and it is generally believed to
have been responsible for sparking off the wave of semi-intellectual interest
in drugs which finds its expression in today’s so-called ‘drug culture.’”
In 1952, the first International
Congress of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) was held in
Amsterdam. IHEU represents more than 3 million members in 30 countries. The
early sponsors of IHEU were also instrumental in founding the United Nations.
They included Lord Boyd Orr — first head of the World Food Organization, Sir
Julian Huxley, first head of UNESCO and Canadian physician Brock Chisholm,
first head of the World Health Organization. In 1952 British psychiatrists
Humphrey Osmond and John Smythies published “A New Approach to Schizophrenia,”
theorizing that when the body is confronted with extreme anxiety it produces
the hallucinogen adrenochrome, inducing schizophrenic or psychotic reactions.
The next year they flew out to bring Aldous Huxley a vial of mescaline. Huxley
later cabled his editor that mescaline was “the most extraordinary and
significant experience available to human beings this side of the Beatific
Vision.” He then dashed off The Doors of Perception in a month. In The Doors of
Perception he wrote: “The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will
never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less
cocksure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his
ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to
things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable Mystery which it tries,
forever vainly, to comprehend.”
In 1953 Robert Hutchins quoted
Aldous Huxley: “But in actual historical fact, the spread of free compulsory
education, and, along with it, the cheapening and acceleration of the older
methods of printing, have almost everywhere been followed by an increase in the
power of ruling oligarchies at the expense of the masses.” Hutchins added: “The
case of the much-vaunted literacy of the Japanese provides striking
confirmation of the conclusions of Toynbee and Huxley that the spread of
universal, free, compulsory education had promoted the degradation and
enslavement of men.”
Humphry Osmond experienced
mescaline in the early 1950s, and in May 1953 provided this to Aldous Huxley in
Los Angeles. Huxley’s report to Osmond, The Doors of Perception, remains a
milestone in psychedelic history, as does the word that Osmond coined —
“psychedelic.” Currently, Osmond works as a psychiatrist in Tuskaloosa,
Alabama. He is coauthor of The Hallucinogens (Academy Press) and How to Live
with Schizophrenia, co-editor of Psychedelics: The Uses and Implications of
Hallucinogenic Drugs (Anchor Books) and author of Understanding
Understanding. Osmond’s interest in
this field grew out of a fascination with schizophrenia and alcoholism. He went
into the Navy once he had qualified for medicine at Guys Hospital in London in
1942. Oscar Janiger had his first LSD experience in 1954. After a training in
botany, he entered the fields of teaching and psychiatry. He has lectured at UC
Irvine and the California College of Surgeons, was research director for the
Holmes (holistic health) Foundation, maintains a private practice, and founded
the Albert Hofmann Foundation. He administered LSD to 875 people, many from the
creative communities of Beverly Hills and Hollywood. In 1955 Huxley’s first
wife died. In 1956 he married Laural Archera. In Heaven and Hell (1956) he
described the use of mescaline to induce visionary states of mind.
In its May 13, 1957 issue, Life ran
a feature called “Seeking the Magic Mushroom.” R. Gordon Wasson, a J.P. Morgan
Vice-President, and his wife, recounted their 1955 visionary adventures among
“psilocybe cultists in darkest Mexico.”
Huxley called Bill Wilson, the
co-founder of AA ” the greatest social architect of our time.” Syanon, a
revolutionary rehabilitation program using AA, was founded in Ocean Park,
California by Chuck Dederich in 1958 and spread as drug use expanded.
In his Brave New World Revisited,
Aldous Huxley in 1958 described a society in which war had been eliminated and
where “the first aim of the rulers is at all costs to keep their subjects from
making trouble.” He described a likely future: “The completely organized society,
the scientific caste system, the abolition of free will by methodical
conditioning, the servitude made acceptable by regular doses of chemically
induced happiness, the orthodoxies drummed in by nightly courses of sleep
teaching . . .” He predicted non-violent tyranny: “Under the relentless thrust
of accelerating over-population and increasing over-organization, and by means
of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will
change their nature; and quaint old forms — elections, parliaments, Supreme
Courts and all the rest — will remain. The underlying substance will be a new
kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the
hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days.
Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial — but
democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling
oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen,
thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they
see fit.”
In 1958, in Brave New World
Revisited , Huxley wrote a diatribe against overpopulation and overconsumption.
His comment about Aryan drug use as part of an elite religious ceremony seems
to be historic in nature. There was a priesthood that was very knowledgeable
about the effects of drugs. The Isis cult seems to have also used drugs in its
productions. Hitler thought he talked to “the evil one” while on a mescaline
trip. When alone or with his inner circle, did he engage in religious
ceremonies, evocations or incantations? Or did they use drugs to get “high?”
The Huxley quote does suggest drugs and religious worship were connected as
early as the Aryan conquest of India. The word “Iran” derives from “Aryan.”
In Brave New World Revisited Huxley
contested Orwell: “George Orwell’s 1984 was a magnified projection into the
future of a present that contained Stalinism and an immediate past that had
witnessed the flowering of Nazism. Brave New World was written before the rise
of Hitler to supreme power in Germany and when the Russian tyrant had not yet
got into his stride. In 1931, systematic terrorism was not the obsessive
contemporary fact which it had become in 1948, and the future dictatorship of
my imaginary world was a good deal less brutal than the future dictatorship so
brilliantly portrayed by Orwell. In the context of 1948, 1984 seemed dreadfully
convincing. But tyrants, after all, are mortal and circumstances change. Recent
developments in Russia and recent advances in science and technology have
robbed Orwell’s book of some of its gruesome versimilitude. A nuclear war will,
of course, make nonsense of everybody’s predictions. But, assuming for the
moment that the Great Powers can somehow refrain from destroying us, we can say
that it now looks as though the odds were more in favor of something like Brave
New World than of something like 1984.”
Neil Postman commented: “What
Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there
would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read
one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared
those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and
egoism. Orwell feared the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the
truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a
captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied
with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal
bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil
libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny
‘failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.’
In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short,
Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love
will ruin us.”
Purchased in 1960 for $285, this
small substance may be said, without exaggeration, to have perpetrated the most
significant cultural revolution of our time. John Beresford, a pediatrician of
British extraction working in New York City, purchased gram H-00047. Before
long, it passed into the systems of Donovan, Paul McCartney, Keith Richards,
Paul Krassner, Frank Barron, Huston Smith, Aldous Huxley, Paul Lee, Richard
Katz, Pete La Roca, Charlie Mingus, Saul Steinberg, Timothy Leary, Richard
Alpert, Ralph Metzner, Alan Watts, Jean Houston and perhaps a thousand others.
“There is some possibility,” commented Michael Hollingshead, a main
distributor, “that my friends and I have illuminated more people than anyone
else in history.”
In the summer of 1960 Timothy O’Leary
used magic mushrooms for the first time in Mexico. He realized his old self was
dead, collaborated with Dr. Richard Albert and discussed the meaning and
implication of the new world with Aldous Huxley. In the 1960-1961 school year
Leary and Albert began a series of experiments on Harvard graduate students —
using pure psilocybin — and with a physician in attendance. When students at
Harvard were given mushrooms, they “came up with accounts of mystical
experiences which largely duplicated accounts of mystical experiences of
Christian saints they had read in books. Takers of mescaline commonly have
similar experiences to Huxley’s, just as Huxley’s were similar to those
reported by earlier experimenters like Havelock Ellis.” In 1960 Leary tried
psychedelic mushrooms while on a vacation in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The experience
opened up a new world for him: “I realized I had died, that I, Timothy Leary,
the Timothy Leary game, was gone. I could look back and see my body on the bed.
I relived my life, and reexperienced many events I had forgotten. More than
that, I went back in time in an evolutionary sense to where I was aware of
being a one-celled organism. All of these things were way beyond my mind.”
Leary was in Mexico in August, 1960, intending to work on a book.
Around 1961 Aldous Huxley said at a
U.S. State Department-sponsored conference at the California Medical School in
San Francisco: “There will be in the next generation or so . . . a
pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing
dictatorship without tears, so to speak. Producing a kind of painless
concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their
liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be
distracted from any desire to rebel — by propaganda, or brainwashing, or
brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the
final revolution.” Timothy Leary recalled his conversation with Huxley who told
him to be a brain-drug cheerleader for evolution like he and his grandfather
before him. However, Huxley told Leary that the obstacle to the evolution was
the Bible: “Drugs that open the mind to multiple realities inevitably lead to a
polytheistic view of the universe. We sensed that the time for a new humanist
religion based on intelligence, good-natured pluralism and scientific paganism
had arrived.”
Huxley was among those who
encouraged Michael Murphy and Richard Price in their decision to open Esalen in
1961. Murphy and Price wrote to Huxley, who believed science and mysticism were
complementary activities, and whose elucidation of “the perennial philosophy”
and ideas about the human potential shaped Esalen’s work for the next 32 years.
It is said that Aldous Huxley, that modern of moderns, went to a few Ouspensky
meetings in London. Eventually Huxley settled for Gerald Heard who drew heavily
on Eastern philosophy. In Huxley we may find a symptom of a desperate tendency
to turn in our crisis to ideas and teachings that stand outside the stream of Western
culture. At Huxley’s suggestion, Murphy and Price sought out Gerald Heard,
philosopher and mystic, who cast a deep Irish spell with accounts of people and
events that revealed the secrets of human transformation. An afternoon with
Heard in the summer of 1961, in which Heard displayed his characteristic
enthusiasm and sense of a cosmic mandate, confirmed Esalen’s two founders in
their decision to start a seminar center. In the first three years of the Big
Sur human-potential center, the lecturers included Alan Watts, Arnold Toynbee,
Gerald Heard, Linus Pauling, Carl Rogers, Norman O. Brown, Paul Tillich, Rollo
May and Carlos Castaneda. Esalen’s first brochure “flew under the title of a
series of 1961 lectures by Aldous Huxley: ‘Human Potentialities.’”
Like the hero in Maugham’s The
Razor’s Edge, Michael Murphy went to India seeking enlightenment. He lived for
eighteen months at the Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry — an institute combining
the wisdom of East and West. Michael Murphy and Richard Price decided in 1961
to open the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California as a center for humanistic
psychology. The institute, which was opened in 1962, conducts workshops,
seminars, and symposia. The late Hindu Geru Sri Aurobindo has a follower by the
name of Maurice Strong who has connections with David Rockefeller, the
Rothschilds and other groups of the money elite.
One evening in 1962, Abraham Maslow
was forced to seek shelter at the nearest residence due to fog: “He arrived in
time for an Easlen study group that was unpacking a case of twenty copies of
his latest book.”
In 1962 Billy and Tommy Hitchcock
purchased Millbrook. It became “the shrine where acid was sanctified.” Tommy
had become friends with Leary toward the end of the 1950’s.
In the Summer of 1962, Billy
Hitchcock met Dick Albert at his mother’s house and recalled: “I found Dick
funny — he understood how to laugh at himself, and he had a background similar
to mine. He was Jewish, his father was head of the Hartford and New Haven
Railroad. He opened me up. He got me to read Thomas Mann, Salinger . . . he was
already having his problems with Harvard, and he had established this community
in Mexico, Zihuatanejo. Tommy and Peggy went down there, and Peggy told me I
should try a psychedelic. I said, ‘Why?’ She said, ‘That’s a good question, try
it, you’ve got nothing to lose.’” Mescaline was the drug of choice at that
time.
In 1962 Look Magazine did a special
issue on California. Aldous Huxley was cited as among the Californians who were
calling for a new national constitutional convention.
In 1962 Allan Watts published The
Joyous Cosmology: Adventures in the Chemistry of Consciousness with a forward
by Timothy Leary and Richard Albert.
On November 27, 1962, Leary and
Alpert stated: “If you announce your discovery you’re in trouble. If you
discuss it quietly with friends you have a cult. If you try to apply these
potentials within the conventional, institutional format you are side-tracked,
silenced, blocked or fired . . . For the first time in American history and for
the first time in the Western world since the Inquisition there now exists a
scientific underground and foundation largesse, over a hundred responsible
professional researchers are volunteering their time, their own money, risking
their reputations and their legal freedom to research consciousness without
institutional support.”
In 1963 Richard Deacon published
the 310-page City of Man: The Hopes and Possibilities of a World Culture which
included a discussion of the ideas of Toynbee, Teilhard de Chardin, Mumford,
Jaspers, Wells, Huxley, Northrop, and many others.
In 1963 the Beatles appeared on the
Ed Sullivan show. They combined rock and mystical music, long hair, and the
worship of Hinduism. The guru who was sought after by the Beatles was Maharishi
Mahesh (TM) Yogi. Drugs were suggested in many of their songs: “Yellow
Submarine” (a “submarine” is a “downer”), “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” (the
initials of the main words are LSD), “Hey Jude” (a song about the drug known as
methadrine), “Stawberry Fields” (where opium is grown to avoid detection) and
“Norwegian Wood” (a British term for marijuana). John Lenon’s song “Imagine”
attacked religion (“Imagine there’s no heaven, It’s easy if you try, No hell
below us, Above us only sky”), espoused a do you own thing philosophy (“Imagine
all the people, Living for today”), attacked nationalism (“Imagine there’s no
countries”), attacked religion (“It is isn’t hard to do, Nothing to kill or die
for and no religion too”), called for the abolition of private property
(“Imagine no possessions”), supported a new international order (“I wonder if
you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the
people, Sharing all the world”) and advocated a one-world government (“You may
say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one, I hope someday you’ll join us, and
the world will be as one.”) Lennon called for abolition of private property and
then left his Japanese-born widow a $250 million estate.
In 1963 Harold Asher wrote
Experiments in Seeing — a story of his search for mystical experience through
LSD. Initially LSD was classified as a “new” drug with few restrictions on its
experimental use. In 1963 it was reclassified as an “investigational new drug”
and made available only to carefully selected investigators. In 1963 Timothy
O’Leary founded the International Federation for Internal Freedom (IFIF) to
encourage research on psychedelic substances. The institute, however, died for
lack of outside interest or support. In the Good Friday Study W.H. Clark — a
Leary follower, found that subjects given psilocybin before attending religious
services were more likely to have a life-changing or mystical experience. In
March 1963 Leary and Alpert began recruiting for the IFIF. They attracted the
“young, the idealistic, the eccentric, and the rebellious . . .” They lectured
in Los Angeles to promote the International Federation for Internal Freedom.
Leary left without notifying univesity authorities and went to Mexico to
arrange the lease of a hotel in Zihuatanejo for use as an IFIF summer colony.
In May 1963, two months after
Leary’s Mexico departure, Richard Alpert publicly attacked the administration’s
stand on denying psilocybin to undergraduates. He was fired by Harvard on May
27.
Major issues at Harvard that caused
friction for Leary included no doctor being present during experiments, use of
undergraduates and drug sessions being conducted off campus or even in Leary’s
house. In the Spring of 1963 Leary and Albert were dismissed from their
academic positions. Leary was fired for not attending his classes. He admitted
the non-attendance but thought he was on approved leave. Albert separated from
Leary and lectured on the West coast while Leary settled in at an estate in
Millbrook, New York — owned by a wealthy supporter of Leary’s beliefs.
The IFIF colony was in operation by
June 1963. The stay was a short one. After an unassociated murder, a newspaper
in Mexico City began a campaign against the group and the Mexican government
ordered the group out. In the summer of 1963, Leary rented Millbrook from Wall
Streeter and Lehman Brothers’s Billy Hitchcock for $500 a month.
Leary and Alpert holed up in
Millbrook, New York. In Volume I of the Psychedelic Review, in the Fall of
1963, Leary and Ralph Metzner did an article on Herman Hesse — the German
novelist whom the group adopted as its literary prophet.
Arnold Toynbee, in the September
29, 1963 edition of The New York Times, discussed an alliance between the
Soviets and the Fabian-controlled West to face the yellow menace of Red China.
Before his death JFK said the
Country “is in dire peril . . .” and that it might not “survive his term in
office.” Evelyn Lincoln, JFK’s secretary for 12 years, quoted him as saying:
“If they are going to get me, they will get me even in Church” (meaning
anywhere). Mary Pinchot Meyer told Timothy Leary: “They could not control him
(JFK) anymore.”
The use of peyote in religious
ceremonies was declared legal in California in 1964.
In 1964, the Leary-Alpert manual
for the psychedelic experience, based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, was
published.
In 1964 Augustus Owsley Stanley III
tried LSD for the first time as a 29-year-old Berkley dropout.
None of the ideas of the “Now
Generation” of 1964 were less than thirty years old.
By 1964 Ken Kesey and his Merry
Prankster friends were touring the country in a Day-Glo-painted school bus.
Later they gave Acid Test parties and supplied LSD which was still legal. Music
was provided by the Grateful Dead at later Acid Tests. The Grateful Dead began
at 710 Ashbury street as an acid-rock group with electric guitarist Jerry
Garcia, 24, drummer Mickey Hart, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan and others. The name was
taken from an Oxford dictionary notation on the burial of Egyptian pharoahs.
McKernan died of alcohol and drugs.
In 1964 and 1965, George Leonard
traveled around the country working on “what he thought would be the most
important story of his career. It would run in two or three subsequent issues
of Look, he anticipated, and he intended to call it ‘The Human Potential.’” The
article, which eventually ran to some 20,000 words, was never published by
Look. It was considered “too long and too theoretical.”
In 1965 Esalen’s Michael Murphy
(student of Eastern philosophy and humanistic psychology) joined forces with
Look’s George Leonard (Student of Social and Political Movements in the U.S.).
In the Fall of 1965, B.F. Skinner, S.I. Hayakawa, Watts, Carl Rogers and J.B.
Rhine led seminars.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s,
Esalen became particularly popular as the scene of various exploratory
approaches to personality development and consciousness expansion. These types
of activities have remained the institute’s focus. A former President of the
American Psychological Association has said that Esalen is potentially “the
most important educational institute in the world.”
Alice Bailey, the most prolific
writer for the New Age, wrote in 1965: “The Illuminati have ever led the race
forward; the knowers, mystics and saints have ever revealed to us the heighth
of racial and individual possibilities.”
The Psychedelic Reader came out in
1965 as an anthology to the 1964 manual. Alpert gradually dropped away from the
group while Leary became even more outspoken. Alice Bailey, the most prolific
writer for the New Age, wrote in 1965: “The Illuminati have ever led the race
forward; the knowers, mystics and saints have ever revealed to us the height of
racial and individual possibilities.”
In 1965 alone the British sent 136
ships with oil and other war good that docked at the port of Haiphong. At a
time when America had 300,000 troops in South Vietnam, England had sent only 11
police instructors and a professor of English. Standard and Shell were taking
33,000 barrels of oil daily out of North Thailand and refining it at Bangehak
and Srivacha. While Thailand officials lied, the Bangkok News said that foreign
companies had taken 40,000,000 barrels of oil out of the Burma ground in 1965.
President De Galle of France blasted the Standard Oil “policy” in Vietnam.
Standard Oil had operations in North Vietnam and Burma. The Shelf Coast extended
from Hong Kong to Vietnam, Burma and Thailand. No news stories revealed that
thousands of barrels of oil were being taken out by Standard Oil every day.
Moody’s Manual of Industrials listed nearly 300 foreign operations but not a
line about the Thailand wells. Once this was revealed, the next issue
eliminated all mention of foreign operations. It was first said there was no
oil industry in Thailand. Later authorities advised that the production of oil
was a major industry.
In 1965 Allen Ginsburg used the phrase
“flower power” at a Berkley rally. The flower antiwar theme appeared in “Where
Have All the Flowers Gone?” and ” San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in
Your Hair)” and in fashions. The Hells Angels had attacked the marchers calling
them “Un-American.”
A 1965 article by San Francisco
Examiner reporter Michael Fallon used the term “hippie.” The beats used the
term hippie as a term of disdain. While hippies used drugs for the sake of
experience, beats had used drugs for the sake of art. They also preferred rock
music to jazz. While beatniks had adopted from the black culture, the hippies
looked to Native Americans. Deerskin moccasins, silver and turquoise jewelry
and headbands were adopted as well as ingesting peyote buttons. Identification
with Native Americans occurred along with referring to communal groups as
tribes. The multimedia show “America Needs Indians” was a big hit in 1965. By
May 1965, Owsley Stanley III was filling orders for LSD from around the country
from his Los Angles laboratory. He financed the rock group The Grateful Dead,
the San Francisco Oracle underground newspaper, joined up with Ken Kesey and
became the chief supply chemist for the Acid Tests.
In August 1965, Ken Kesey invited
the San Francisco chapter of the Hells Angels to a party at his home in La
Honda. He introduced them to LSD. They became heavily involved with both supply
and demand until the end of the 1960s. In December 1965 Leary’s 16-year-old
daughter was found at customs with a pillbox in her brassiere that contained a
smidgen of marijuana. An indictment was made against Leary for attempted to
smuggle marijuana out of the country without paying a duty on it. Billy
Hitchcock set up the Leary defense fund. The case was taken to the Supreme
Court where it was thrown out on the grounds of double jeopardy. After this
incident, Leary “let Millbrook really start to run downhill.” Ken Kesey rolled
up in a bus with the Merry Pranksters and it was rumored that 80 Hell’s Angels
were aboard.
Death cults existed four thousand
years ago. The resurgence of death cults began with the arrival of Aldous
Huxley in America. He copied the formula from the Isis-Orsiris cult, the
Dionysus cult and the rituals of Tibetan and Egyptian high priests. A principal
disciple of his was Timothy Leary. LSD, which was made by Hoffman La Roche, was
introduced into America by Huxley and Bertand Russell. After working with Leary
at Harvard, Huxley and Leary created the International Federation for Internal
Freedom Psychadelic Training Center in Mexico. Students at this “invisible
university” had lessons from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. At the center it was
taught that “death is a transition, it is only a change in form, in some cases
a happy release.” Among the death cults are the Luciferian Society, the Dionysus
Cult, the Osiris-Horus cult of ancient Egypt, the Freemasons, the Urania
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Children of the Sun, witchcraft, demon
worshipers and Aquarians who venerate Caligula. Death cults are
devil-worshiping in purpose and all end in death for someone.
In their first seminar on Human
Potentiality, led by Willis Harman, every program leader was involved with LSD
research: Adams, Harman, Gregory Bateson, Gerald Heard, Paul Kurtz, and Myron
Stolaroff. Other drug-culture luminaries, such as Timothy Leary and Richard
Alpert, taught at Esalen, and various psychedelics were used by the staff and
students, although drug-use was not officially endorsed. Strangely, the
Institute was never raided by the authorities. Charles Manson and members of
his family played an impromptu concert at Esalen three days before their
massacre at the Sharon Tate house.
In Island Huxley’s society relied
upon the mind for healing. His last novel featured extended families, learning
by doing and imagining and commerce was bowed to ecology. Huxley died on
November 22, 1963, in Los Angeles. This was the exact same day that JFK was
assassinated. This was also the day that C.S. Lewis died. He “asked for and
received an injection of LSD on his deathbed . . .” “His time on earth spanned
the end of the Victorian Age and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, and he
was always in the vanguard of, never afraid to investigate (and even to believe
in) the strange and the mystical, yet he never lost respect for everyday reality.”
He authored 47 books, including Crome Yellow and After Many A Summer Dies the
Swan. Huxley spent forty years living in and working in Hollywood collaborating
with Adorno and Horkheimer.
At the height of their popularity,
the Beatles went to India — the land of the Hindus. Aldous Huxley wrote about
soma — an intoxicating drink for the Brahmins. In fable it was personified as a
god — representing the moon.
Dr. Louis Jolyon West is a director
of AFF. An expert in brainwashing for the Air Force and the CIA, West first
achieved fame from his MK-Ultra feat — he injected LSD-25 into an elephant and
killed it. West researched “the psychology of dissociated states” for the CIA,
using LSD and hypnosis. His friend {Aldous Huxley} suggested to Dr. West during
an MK-Ultra experiment that West hypnotize his subjects prior to administering
LSD, in order to give them “post-hypnotic suggestions aimed at orienting the
drug-induced experience in some desired direction.” Huxley was friends with Dr.
Louis “Jolly” West, and suggested that West try combining LSD with hypnosis.
Dr. West was called upon by the government to examine Jack Ruby, who had killed
Lee Harvey Oswald before Oswald could stand trial for his alleged role in the
assassination of President John Kennedy. Huxley was also interested in
parapsychology, and lectured on the topic at Duke University. It was at Duke
where Huxley had contact with J.B. Rhine, who reportedly did experiments in
psychic phenomena for the CIA and the Army. Longtime CIA doctor Louis J. West
once treated Aldous Huxley. It was West’s diagnosis that Ruby was a “candidate
suitable for treatment” that allowed him to be put on drugs.
In 1964, Lilly held seminars at the
Esalen Institute, and was Group Leader and Associate in Residence from 1969 to1971.
Laura Huxley, Aldous’s widow,
sponsored a foundation devoted to “conscious childbirth” called Our Ultimate
Investment.
During the radical 1960s, the late
Leary and Richard Albert did extensive research on LSD and other psychedelic
elements — in collaboration with Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg and others. The
pair escaped to a mansion in upstate New York. While Leary continued to ride
naked on horses, Richard Alpert went to India in 1967 and met his spiritual
teacher — Neem Karoli Baba. He came back with a new name — Baba Ram Dass
(“servant of God”). He then began teaching Kali-worship (goddess of thieves) to
Harvard students. After six years or so of getting high, visited India. There
he met a 23-year-old man named Bhagwan Dass. Eventually, after fasting, yoga
and meditation, Albert was introduced to Dass’ s guru — Maharaji. He then
changed his name to Ram Dass, returned to the U.S. and wrote Be Here Now. When
he became Ram Dass, he forsook his Jewish upbringing and was estranged from his
family. His never-named father was a wealthy lawyer, President of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad and founder of Brandeis University. The
recently sick Ram Dass is said to be known and loved all over the world as the
self-described “HinJew.” Dismissed from Harvard with Leary in 1963, Dass was
involved with the Zihuatanejo Project, the IFIF (The International Foundation
for Internal Freedom) and the Castalia Organization at Millbrook, all of which
were attempts to realize a psychedelic utopia as presented in Island by Aldous
Huxley, and Glass Bead Game by Herrman Hesse.
Michael Kahn was an important
associate of Timothy Leary during the mid-1960s, taking LSD trips with him and
providing him with privacy periodically in those turbulent years. He has
observations of related activities at Harvard and Millbrook. Kahn lectures at
UC San Anselmo. His writings include The Tao of Conversation and Between
Therapist and Client.
LSD was not made illegal until
1966. In 1966 Leary founded the League of Spiritual Discovery.
In 1966 Leary was arrested for the
possession of marijuana at the Millbrook, New York estate and appeared at three
congressional hearings. He told Sen. Ted Kennedy that “LSD is not a dangerous
drug.” In that same year he began his own religion — the “League of Spiritual
Discovery” — with LSD as the sacrament. Its slogan was: “Turn On, Tune In, and
Drop Out.” G. Gordon Liddy, local Assistant District Attorney, used as his
slogan for the Republican nomination for Congress: “Throw Hitchcock Out of
Millbrook.”
In 1967 the New York Phoenix House
established seminar rap session techniques. It was started by five former drug
addicts.
The musical Hair opened in 1967.
The song “Age of Aquarius” talks about the influence to be felt at the end of
the century at “the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.” The Age of Pisces lasts
from 0 A.D. to 2000 A.D. The Age of Aquarius begins at 2000 A.D. to last until
4000 A.D.
By 1967 many of the Haight-Ashbury
residents had turned from acid to speed.
Beginning in 1967, Timothy Leary said
in lectures delivered around the country: “turn on (to the scene), tune in (to
what is happening), and drop out (of high school, college, grad school . . .).”
In 1967 Owsley was arrested in his
lab and sentenced to three years in jail.
In 1967 the Beatles accompanied the
Maharishi to India and announced their intention to give up drugs and follow
his teachings.
In 1967 a court decision, involving
Timothy O’Leary, held that the use of marijuana was not essential to the
practice of Hinduism.
By 1967 a large drug population had
emerged in San Francisco where Ken Kesey had handled out LSD. In 1967 a
Tavistock-sponsored “Conference on the Dialectics of Liberation” was chaired by
Dr. R.D. Laing. Two of the American delegates were Angela Davis and Stokley
Carmichael. “By 1967, with the cult of ‘Flower People’ in Haight-Ashbury and
the emergence of the anti-war movement, the United States was ready for the
inundation of LSD, hashish, and marijuana that hit American college campuses in
the late 1960s.”
The 1967 Be-In was referred to as
“A Gathering of the Tribes.” The January 1967 Human Be-In was followed by the
“Summer of Love” in Haight-Ashbury. Bill Graham staged concerts at the Fillmore
six days a week. The event was coordinated by Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary and
Jerry Rubin. Some 10,000 “heard speeches, danced to music by San Francisco
bands, chanted Hindu and Buddhist rituals, ate free turkey sandwiches (some
laced with LSD), and generally celebrated the birth of the countercultural
community.”
In April 1967, warnings were issued
and businesses were closed in Haight-Ashbury after a huge influx of hippies. In
response, as a form of protest, Hippies marched shouting “Haight is love.” Over
30 people were arrested in the demonstration.
The Grateful Dead hosted an Om
Festival featuring om chanting with the music for 2,500 during the Summer of
Love.
During the winter 1967-1968, LSD
reached a peak. Its use declined thereafter. Mescaline, which offers less of an
inner experience but a more intense sensory show than LSD, became the
hallucinogen of choice for many previous LSD users.
Esalen became “real” when the New
York Times ran an article on it on December 31, 1967 in the Sunday Magazine .
Hot baths, which may be taken in the nude, “are considered a rite of passage
into a new life.”
In April 1968 Columbia University
was seized by a group of students for several days. James Kunen, one of the
student leaders, wrote in The Strawberry Statement that a report on the SDS
convention mentioned men from Roundtable International trying to buy radicals.
“These men are the world’s leading industrialists and they convene to decide
how our lives are going to go . . . They offered to finance our demonstration
in Chicago. We were also offered Esso (Rockefeller) money. They want us to make
a lot of radical commotion so they can look more in the center as they move to
the Left.” Jerry Rubin once said: “The hip capitalists have some allies within
the revolutionary community: longhairs who work as intermediaries between the
kids on the street and the millionaire businessmen.” During the fall of 1969
$85,000 in Carnegie Foundation funds were paid to the SDS. An undercover SDS
police informant said he had “wondered where the money was coming from for all
this activity, and soon discovered it came through radicals via the United
Nations, from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, United Auto
Workers, as well as cigar boxes of American money from the Cuban embassy.”
Brandeis University was the head of
all SDS chapters throughout the United States. The founders and some of its top
administrators have been “violently anti-religious and have left wing
associations.”
In 1969, after a series of arrests
on drug charges, Leary was sentenced to a minimum security prison in
California.
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair
drew 300,000 in August 1969 to Bethel, New York. Performers included Jim
Hendrix, Joan Baez, Ritchie Havens, the Jefferson Airplane, the Who, the
Grateful Dead, Carlos Santana and others. Abbie Hoffman called it “the first
attempt to land man on the earth.”
On December 6, 1969, the Altamont
Music Festival outside San Francisco attracted 300,000 to a free Rolling Stones
concert. The Hells Angels administered several beatings and stabbed a boy to
death when he tried to reach the stage.
In 1970 Margaret Mead said: “There
are no elders who know what those who have been reared within the last 20 years
know about the world into which they were born.” She called for psychologically
“qualified” parents to rear all the children — leaving the less qualified
parents free to explore their inner selves and one another. Margaret Mead said
in 1970: “This break between generations is wholly new: it is planetary and
universal.” In 1970, just before the Nixon/Kissinger invasion of Cambodia (that
produced a storm of antiwar protests on and off campuses), the Bilderbergers
discussed the “future function of the university in our society.” Participants
included Paul Samuelson, Graham T. Allison (later Dean of the Kennedy School at
Harvard University) and Andrew Cordier (Dean of the School of International
Affairs at Columbia University 1962-68) (also acting president of Columbia in
1968 during the student occupation). In 1970 Governor Reagan acknowledged the
possibility of a “bloodbath” to put down campus unrest.
After being organized in New York
by a small group concerned with pollution and smog, the first Earth Day took
place on April 22, 1970. Activities around the country included car “funerals,”
traffic blockades and clean-up programs. On Earth Day, April 22, 1970, Norman
Cousins (CFR), the longtime president of the United World Federalists (later
the World Federalist Association), proclaimed, “Humanity needs world order. The
fully sovereign nation is incapable of dealing with the poisoning of the
environment . . . The management of the planet . . . requires a world
government.” The UNESCO Biosphere Conference and ecological activism produced
the first Earth Day in 1971. Both Earth day and the beginning of the
Army-McCarthy hearings share the date April 22 (Lenin’s birthday).
In September of 1970 Leary escaped
from prison by walking away from prison. He turned off a flame he had ignited
ten years before. “A real cop-out.”
In 1973 Jerry Garcia of the
Grateful Dead received a years probation in New Jersey for possession of LSD,
marijauna and cocaine.
Ronald David Laing (1927-1989)
overcame beatings by his father by retreating into “a point in space with no
dimensions.” He devoured all the classics within his reach from the Bible
through Mill and Voltaire to Darwin and Huxley. By the age of 14, he was
reading Plato and knew he was interested in psychology. In 1956 he went for
psycho-analytic training at the Freudian-oriented Tavistock Institute of Human
Relations in London. From 1962-1965, Laing directed the Langham Clinic in
London and began to experiment with mind-expanding substances as a means of
accelerating transcendental trips to the inner self. In 1967, a conference
sponsored by psychiatry’s National Association for Mental Health (NAMH) in the
United Kingdom was devoted to “The Role of Religion in Mental Health.” The
Reverend George Croft, a lecturer in experimental psychology, said that
distressed persons were seeking psychotherapists rather than ministers because
as Jung suggested, ministers were not expected to possess “psychological
knowledge or insight.” Also speaking was psychiatrist Dr. R. D. Laing from the
Tavistock Institute who suggested that the clergy get more in touch with the
“egoic experience,” and seminaries and theological colleges should discuss this
as a church component. In the early 1970’s he studied under Buddhist and Hindu
spiritual masters in Ceylon, India and Japan, and lectured throughout the U.S.
Laing was a vegetarian with a respect for life such that he could not even bear
to cut the grass.
In 1975, Princeton Professor
Richard A. Falk (CFR) laid out a map in On the Creation of a Just World terming
the seventies as the decade of “consciousness raising,” the eighties the decade
of “mobilization” and the ninties the decade of “transformation.”
In 1975 the “Masters” told Alice
Bailey that the time was right for the open propagation of “The Plan.”
In 1975 the War in Vietnam
officially ended.
In 1975 the “Brain/Mind Bulletin”
magazine was first published by Marilyn Ferguson as “a vehicle for pulling . .
. information on mind and consciousness together.”
In the summer of 1976, Bruce
traveled back to Europe and to England. He met and had lunch with Albert
Hofmann on the Rhine river. Hofmann told him stories of meetings with Huxley
and Leary and other noted figures in the “psychedelic movement” as it was known
back then. He also met and became friends with Michael Hollingshed, author of
The Man Who Turned on the World, an autobiography by this trickster who was
responsible for turning both the Beatles and Tim Leary onto their first trips.
Hollingshead conveyed a substantial amount of gram H-00047 to Harvard
University and to London, after coming to the U.S. as an official working for
British-American cultural exchange. Hollingshead’s activities centered in
Manhattan, London and Katmandu. He wrote much about psychedelics in a variety
of head magazines.
Returning from Europe in 1976,
Bruce left Los Angeles for Santa Cruz, California, where he was to spend most
of the next two decades. Bruce escorted Hofmann and his wife Anita during their
tour of Santa Cruz. Also there were other noted psychedelic researchers,
including Oscar Janiger, William McGlothlin, Ron Siegel and others. At a
dinner, Hofmann toasted his pcychedelic grandchildren — many of them there,
including Leary, Ram Dass and Metzer, the noted Harvard trio who had collaborated
on research and together wrote The Psychedelic Experience, based on the Tibetan
Book of the Dead. Bruce had done a lot of footwork, hiking through the redwood
campus of the University of California Santa Cruz, setting up the logistics.
Now tired of this massive organizational effort, Bruce went off with his friend
Danny, who together drank a bottle of psilocybin extract. Having just read
Island by Huxley and Intelligence Agents by Timothy Leary, some of the circuits
in Bruce’s mind began to perceive new connections and sychronicities. As he
walked with his friend down to the windswept beaches, he thought about his
original expectations for the ‘Sixties. He then believed the counter-culture
would become the dominant culture in some revolution of love and ecstasy.
At Jonestown, Guyana, 914 followers
of paranoid pastor the Rev. Jim Jones obeyed his order to join him in death by
drinking Kool-Aid laced with cyanide. Mass-murderer Jim Jones cooperated with
Bertrand Russell and Aldous Huxley indirectly through the Peace Pledge Union.
The New Agers were proud to claim Jim Jones and his People’s Temple as their
own until his Guyana murder-suicide fiasco. After that, they never mentioned
him again except to point to him as an example of the dangers of religious fundamentalism.
When Jones moved to San Fransciso and purchased land to build a new Temple, it
is said the land had been the site of the Albert Pike Memorial Temple. In
November 1978 over 900 people died at the People’s Temple in Guyana. At
Jonestown, it was intially assumed that the large vat of drink containing
poison was the cause of the suicides. Autopsies showed that 700 of the 900 had
died of gunshots wounds and stangulation — not poison. “They had not committed
suicide at all; they were brutally mass murdered. According to Jack Anderson, a
tape made by Rev. Jones mentioned a man named Dwyer. Richard Dwyer was the
deputy chief of the U.S. mission to Guyana and accompanied Rep. Leo Ryan to
investigate the encampment. The Congressman was murdered but Dwyer was not
affected. He claimed that Jones’ reference to him was “mistaken.” In 1959 he
had began working for the CIA and had “no comment” when Anderson asked if he
was a CIA agent.” Among the drugs found at Jonestown was chloral hydrate — used
in the CIA’s secret mind control program known as “MK ULTRA.” Did the CIA
slaughter 900 at Jonestown to cover up a massive-scale drug experiment?
In the late 1970’s, Esalen became
involved with an Englishwoman named Jenny O’Connor, who claimed to be in
psychic contact with the Nine Dick Price and other members of the Esalen staff
became increasingly dependent on the Nine, to the point of listing them as
program leaders and members of the Esalen Gesalt Staff in brochures.
In the 1970’s, Mike Murphy became
interested in Russian parapsychology, and visited the country to meet
experimenters in this field. This led to a close connection between Esalen and
some Russian officials, who set up an exchange program. Lasting into the
1980’s, this exchange was dubbed “hot-tub diplomacy”. John Mack was reportedly
involved in this exchange. Esalen also held seminars in quantum physics, and
was the birthplace of the Physics/Consciousness Research Group. Other
individuals who have come to lead seminars at Esalen at one time or another include
Carlos Castenda, Dutch psychic Peter Hurkos, (trunk murderer, fugitive and
Earth Day founder) Ira Einhorn, Rollo May, Jack Sarfatti, John Lilly, Terrance
McKenna, Ian Wickramasekera, and Charles Tart. Werner Erhard was also close
with Michael Murphy and Esalen.
In February, 1979, Lilly attended
an LSD reunion party, hosted by Dr. Oscar Janiger, along with Laura Huxley,
Sidney Cohn, Willis Harman, Alfred Hubbard, and Timothy Leary, among others.
Huxley was turned on to mescaline by Dr. Humphrey Osmond, who in turn was
introduced to the drug by Alfred Hubbard. Hubbard personally guided Huxley
through his second mescaline trip and his first experience with LSD.
In 1979 Mark Satin’s New Age
Politics book was published by Delta with the back jacket comment of the
Toronto Star: “He’s already miles ahead of the academics and intellectuals who
cling to the Marxist vision.” Satin prefers to work for a “planetary guidance
system” as opposed to “a world government”. His guidance system would “regulate
society, not organize it.”
In his 1980 book, Cosmos, Carl
Sagan wrote: “Every nation seems to have its set of forbidden possibilities,
which its citizenry and adherents must not be permitted to think about . . . in
the United States, socialism, atheism, and the surrender of national
sovereignty.”
In 1980 Alvin Toffler discussed an
“emerging globalist ideology” in The Third Wave: “This consciousness is shared
by multinational executives, long-haired environmental campaigners, financiers,
revolutionaries, intellectuals, poets, and painters, not to mention members of
the Trilateral Commission. I have even had a famous four-star general assure me
that ‘the nation-state is dead.’ Globalism presents itself as more than an
ideology serving the interests of a limited group. Precisely as nationalism
claimed to speak for the whole nation, globalism claims to speak for the whole
world. And its appearance is seen as an evolutionary necessity — a step closer
to a ‘cosmic consciousness’ that would embrace the heavens as well.”
In 1980 Marilyn Ferguson described
the New Age consciousness revolution “The Aquarian Conspiracy represents the
Now What. We have to move into the unknown: The known has failed us too
completely. Taking a broader view of history and a deeper measure of nature, The
Aquarian Conspiracy is a different kind of Revolution, with different
revolutionaries. It looks to the turnabout in consciousness of a critical
number of individuals, enough to bring a renewal of society.” The New Age was
boosted to a global movement by Marilyn Ferguson’s book — considered to be “The
New Age Bible.” It promotes reincarnation as a pillar of the New Age belief
system, giving it modern day credibility. Ferguson’s book, furthering the
worldview of a “new society,” soon became a text in college courses, and was
published in eight countries in ten translations. Of the responses obtained by
Marilyn Ferguson, the individual most often named as influential by Aquarian
Conspirators was Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who wrote in 1931: “The only way
forward is in the direction of a common passion, a conspiracy.” Aldous Huxley
was named second, followed by Carl Jung and Abraham Maslow Aldous Huxley
believed that the U.S. religious revival would begin with drugs — not
evangelists. He pointed out that even temporary self-transcendence would shake
the entire society to its rational roots: “Although these new mind-changers may
start by being something of an embarrassment, they will tend in the long run to
deepen the spiritual life of the communities . . .” He predicted the impact on
religion: “From being an activity concerned mainly with symbols, religion will
be transformed into an activity concerned mainly with experience and intuition
— an everyday mysticism.”
Willis Harman’s “Changing Images of
Man” has been too technical for most so the service of Marilyn Ferguson was
obtained to make it more easily understood. “The Age of Aquarius” heralded nude
stage shows and a song which made the top of the charts: “The Dawning of the
Age of the Aquarius” swept the globe. Many current Evangelical leaders will be
well-suited for leadership in the global church/state alliance. They are
already Politicians of the Radical Center as described by Marilyn Ferguson: “.
. . they don’t take strident positions. Their high tolerance of ambiguity and
their willingness to change their minds leave them open to accusations of being
arbitrary, inconsistent, uncertain or even devious.”
On April 25, 1982, New Age leader
Benjamin Creme said: “What is the Plan? It includes the installation of a new
world government and a new world religion under Maitreia.” On April 25, 1982,
full-page newspaper display ads in some 20 major cities trumpeted: “THE CHRIST
IS NOW HERE.” Towards the end of the ad it read: “WITHOUT JUSTICE THERE CAN BE
NO PEACE.” This was virtually the exact militant phrase heard on TV coverage of
the L.A. riots: “No Justice, No Peace!”
In 1983 Esalen sponsored a
Soviet-American satellite linkup with cooperation of the Soviets and the
Academy of Sciences.
Forty years after his discovery of
the soul-manifesting effects of LSD, Hofmann traveled to the UC campus at Santa
Barbara for a psychedelic conference where he described what he had learned.
The following day, May 15, 1983 at the Lhasa Club in Los Angeles, he joined
Oscar Janiger, Laura Huxley, John Kramer, Ron Siegel and other psychedelic
researchers at a “Caucus for the Restoration of LSD as a Scientific Tool.”
In 1984, the United States withdrew
its membership in UNESCO. In 1984 O’Brien explained to Smith: “We have cut the
links between child and parent . . .”
In the mid-1980s, a lecture series
by the late Joseph Campbell promoted the idea of the wisdom of primitive myths
to more than 100 million people worldwide. He said the cult of Osiris-Isis was
as valid as the Christ “myth.”
In 1985 Norman Cousins stated:
“World government is coming, in fact, it is inevitable.”
Nostradamos foretold that after the
last battle the Grand Monarque of “Trogan blood and Germanic heart” (King of
Blois and Belgic) will rise and reign from Avignon — ancient city of Cathars
and Popes — watched over by the Black Virgin. Before 1999 he will restore the
church to “pristine pre-eminence” through Rome. The Barque of St. Peter will be
destroyed. Nostradamus has been termed a propagandist for the Merovingians. His
parents, converted Jews, adopted a masculine form of Our Lady as their name.
America’s legal and education
elites have replaced the Western Christian tradition with a humanistic system
that holds: 1) There is no transcendent, personal God, 2) Both the world and
man result from evolutionary forces, which continue to direct them, 3) Societal
institutions such as family and civil law have no theistic origins, 4)
Theistically ordained absolute standards do not exist for the guidance of
either individuals or institutions, 5) The Bible is false and useless as a
source of guidance for man in his attempt to progress and 6) Man’s self-effort
is the primary, if not sole, tool available to him in his attempt to progress.
In 1987 Texe Marrs outlined 13 key
characteristics of the New Age: 1) A One World Religion, Political and Social
order; 2) Revival of the Babylon religion (mystery cults, sorcery, occultism
and immorality); 3) A New Age Messiah; 4) Spirit Guides, 5) The rallying cries
of World Peace, Love and Unity; 6) New Age teachings spread around the globe at
all levels of society; 7) Spread of the apostacy that Jesus is neither God nor
the Christ; 8) All religions as a part of the New World Religion; 9)
Discrediting and abandonment of Christian principles; 10) Children seduced and
indoctrinated into New Age dogma; 11) Flattery being use to entice the world to
believe that man is Divine God; 12) Science and the New World Religion will
become one; 13) Elimination of Christians will resist the Plan. The New Age has
nine doctrinal corner-stones: 1) Eastern mysticism; 2) Mind control through
psychology; 3) Mystery cosmic teachings; 4) The worship of science as
revelation; 5) Instaneous Evolution; 6) Hedonism; 7) Pantheism; 8) Selfism; 9)
Leadership by spiritually superior beings.
In 1987 Christopher Hyatt, head of
the Order of the Golden Dawn, said in an interview: “The Guards of the Ancient
era . . . the ones dying right now . . . are not willing to give up their
authority so easily. I foresee, on a mass scale, that the New Age is not going
to come into being as so many people believe and wish to believe. I see it as
requiring a heck of a lot of blood, disruption, chaos, and pain for a mass
change to occur.” James Shelby Downard looked forward to the time beyond Must
Be, to the era which will witness the return of could be. After the coming
cataclysmic chastisement has run its cleansing course, we will once again wish
upon a star and dream a destiny free of the Masonic chain that at present binds
our nation as tightly as the hangman’s rope once bound the rotted cadavers on
Tyburn Tree. Barbara Marx Hubbard, in The Book of Co-Creation wrote: “Out of
the full spectrum of human personality, one-fourth is electing to transcend . .
. One-fourth is destructive [and] they are defective seeds. In the past they
were permitted to die a ‘natural death.’ . . . Now as we approach the quantum
shift from the creature-human to the co-creative human — the human who is an
inheritor of god-like powers — the destructive one-fourth must be eliminated
from the social body . . . Fortunately, you are not responsible for this act.
We are. We are in charge of God’s selection process for planet Earth. He
selects, we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death.”
In 1987 Esalen celebrated its 25th
anniversary. Among the innovative thinkers named as shaping its major
principles was Aldous Huxley, Alan Watts, Arnold Toynbee, Fritz Perls, B.F.
Skinner, and James Pike (an Episcopal Bishop).
Environmental curricula and children’s
ecology books echo those scary scenarios envisioned by the “extreme activists.”
Many blame parents for exaggerated global problems. “They may deny it,” says
Captain Eco, the high flying superhero of a large picture book called Captain
Eco and the Fate of the Earth, “but . . . they’re stealing your future from
under your noses.” Captain Eco takes two children on a tour of the damaged
earth. After showing them all the familiar abuses in the worst possible light,
the captain points them to the final mega-problem: “and that’s YOU.” “We’re not
that bad, are we?” they respond. “Not you personally, but the whole human race.
There are so many of you . . . Either you go on . . . polluting all over the
planet . . . Or you can work toward a better world . . . Will you help me?”
Following the death of his wife,
Howard O’Brien decided to move the family to Richardson, a town in Dallas
County in northeastern Texas, a transition that Rice has likened to “stepping
through TV to the world of America we had seen from afar.” And indeed Anne Rice
seemed to have led a far more conventional life in Texas than she had in
Louisiana. At Richardson High School she was the features editor on the student
newspaper, and, after her graduation in about 1959, she entered Texas Woman’s
University, in Denton (according to another source, she attended North Texas
State University, also located in Denton), where she joined the ranks of those
young people who were questioning traditional religious and societal values. “I
remember walking into Voertman’s bookstore and seeing all those racks of
books,” she recalled during an interview with Stewart Kellerman for the New
York Times (November 7, 1988). “All this stuff I wasn’t supposed to read as a
Catholic. Aldous Huxley, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus. I had to know what was
in those books.”
Stanford environmentalist Stephen
Schneider said: “We’d like to see the world a better place . . . to get some
broad-based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course,
entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary
scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any
doubts we might have . . . Each of us has to decide what the right balance is
between being effective and being honest.”
The teachings of Jiddhu
Krishnamurti can be found in books, films, university courses, workshops,
progressive schools that he started, and a dynamic foundation that bears his
name. As of 1990, his works have been translated into forty-seven languages,
including Swahili; though them his influence is felt worldwide. His ideas,
which revolved around the centrality of individual consciousness free from the
programmed filters of religion and culture, attracted people as varied as
George Bernard Shaw, Greta Garbo, Bertrand Russell, Aldous Huxley, Joseph
Campbell, Albert Einstein, Alan Watts, Jackson Pollack, Anne Morrow Lindbergh,
Christopher Isherwood, and Charlie Chaplin.
In 1990, Bruce began meeting with a
student organization at Stanford University called Higher Consciousness. After
presenting himself and sitting in on presentations by Stanley Krippner, Nina
Graboi, Dennis McKenna and others, Bruce and the leaders of Higher
Consciousness planned and put on a major conference, “The Bridge: Linking the
Past, Present and Future of Psychedelics.” Keynoters were Timothy Leary and
Terence Mckenna, and John Lilly, Howard Reingold, Robert Anton Wilson, Francis
Huxley (nephew of Aldous), Stanley Krippner, Stephen Gaskin, and Arthur
Hastings were among the 60 presenters. After the conclusion of this 1991
conference, Bruce planned his next event, Bicycle Day, celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the discovery of LSD in 1993. Bicycle Day was the name Bruce
gave to the “50th Anniversary of the discovery of LSD,” and Bruce in collaboration
with Rick Doblin of MAPS and a student organization at his old almamatter, UC
Santa Cruz, put on a celebration in the school’s Performing Arts theater.
Sharing the podium with Bruce and Rick Doblin was Oscar Janiger, founder of the
Albert Hofmann foundation. Videos of Humphry Osmond, Albert Hofmann and Ken
Kesey were shown, and also re-enactment of the last LSD trip of Aldous Huxley
was performed by Laura and Francis Huxley.
The crisis of environmentalism has
been developed as a means to bring about a one-world government: “Through a
skillful wedding of socialism, New Age Pantheism and a manufactured climate of
despair over a ‘dying planet’, these powerful individuals (David Rockefeller
and Edmund de Rothschild) are creating a climate of fear which will see mankind
not only accept, but demand, a one-world government to deliver us from
environmental apocalypse. This one-world government will, of course, be the
capstone of their planned New World Order. “In searching for a new enemy to
unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global
warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill,” declared
members of the Club of Rome in a sweeping 1991 report on global governance.
“All these dangers are caused by human intervention . . . The real enemy, then,
is humanity itself.”
In the Summer of 1991 Tal Brooke
quoted Brock Chisolm, director of the UN World Health Organization in SCP
Journal: “To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds
of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism,
and religious dogmas.”
On May 4, 1992, Gorbachev received
the first Ronald Reagan Freedom award from Reagan at the former president’s
presidential library in Simi Valley. Two days later Gorbachev made a speech in
Fulton, Missouri at Westminister College calling for a greatly strengthened UN
and a new “global government” for a multipolar world. In mid-1992, Mikhail
Gorbachev was sponsored in his U.S. trip by the Esalen Institute. The institute
has long called for the creation of a Council of Wise Persons (Brain Trust).
While on his tour, Gorby took time out for a private meeting with Henry
Kissinger. Gorbachev, on May 6, 1992, went to Fulton, Missouri (the site of
Winston Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” speech) to call for the creation of a new
“global government.” He also denounced “exaggerated nationalism” while calling
for a “global international security system.” The worst of the dangers, said
the former President of the Soviet Union, is ecological. He listed “global
climatic shifts, the greenhouse effect, the ozone hole, acid rain,
contamination of the atmosphere, soil and water by industrial and household
waste, the destruction of forests . . .” He praised the Club of Rome as
“authoritative.” This is the organization that wants to limit the earth’s birth
rate and redistribute the world’s wealth. “However, I believe that the new
world order will not be fully realized unless the United Nations and its
Security Council create structures, taking into consideration existing United
Nations and regional structures, which are authorized to impose sanctions and
make use of other measures of compulsion, especially when the rights of
minority groups are being particularly violated.” On May 8, 1992, Gorbachev told
the Chicago CFR that: ” The New World Order means a new kind of civilization.”
Gorbachev wants the UN to set up a “Brain Trust” of the world’s elite to “push
global politics toward detente.” This would include “Nobel Laureates, diplomats
and churchmen.” In early May, 1992, UN Secretary — General Ghali told a meeting
of the American Association of Newspaper Publishers that a permanent UN
military force was needed to “protect the peace” and “ensure human rights” and
intervene “at the local and community levels.”
Al Gore, who wrote a book to spread
a similar message, said, “We must make rescue of the environment the central
organizing principle for civilization.” In Earth in the Balance, he calls for a
“worldwide education program” and a “panreligious perspective” based on “the
wisdom distilled by all faiths.”
In 1993, Vice President Al Gore
also established the National Religious Partnership for the Environment — with
its offices also located at the Cathedral. The Partnership is composed of the
U.S. Catholic Conference, the National Council of Churches, the Evangelical
Environmental Network, and the Consultation of Jewish Life and the Environment
— and has received a multimillion-dollar commitment from The Rockefeller
Foundation and others to fund a major ecumenical/eco-spiritual broadside aimed
at churchgoers. Every Roman Catholic Church in America will soon be the object
of ruling class largesse. Laurence Rockefeller is also said to have assisted
the publication of The Coming of the Cosmic Christ by former Dominican priest
turned New Age Episcopalian Matthew Fox.
In January 1993 CBS featured an
hour on the comeback of LSD. A week or two later, fashion reports said the
sixties/seventies look was back — including bell bottoms and dresses exposing
the belly. Richard M. Cohen, Senior Producer of CBS political news, has said:
“We’re going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with issues and
subjects that we choose to deal with.”
Lyndon LaRouche is a big booster of
ecumenicism; curiously, both LaRouche and the Masonic-Theosophist organization
World Goodwill have recently been singing the praises of a 15th century
Catholic ecumenicist, Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa. In this climate, even Herbert
“British-Israel” Armstrong’s Worldwide Church of God has reversed its course,
and its offending doctrines as well, to become properly ecumenical — certainly
a telling point!
Ram Dass gave a three-hour talk in
1994 at the “Celebration Of the Birth Centenary of Aldous Huxley.” It ended
with an ecstatic Dance of Shiva on stage with Laura Huxley and Tai Ji Master
Chungliang Al Huang while the section of Island was read aloud.
The second aeon, said Crowley, the
tutor of the young Aldous Huxley, was that of Osiris, the father. This period
“was characterized by patriarchial religions such as Judaism, Buddhism, Islam
and Christianity.” Aleister Crowley wrote that in the initiation for the new
age “the whole planet must be bathed in blood . . . This bloody sacrifice is
the critical point of the World Ceremony . . .” He worshiped the goddess as
“Our Lady Babylon.” “The Great Whore (was) an ancient epithet for the Goddess.”
Alice Bailey wrote that the Moon was now a dead thought form which will crumble
in the near future. Gurdjieff disagreed, He believed it was a plant waiting to
be born, and it is coming to life by devouring human of death. Isis (the “Star
of the Sea”) was the Egyptian goddess of fertility. She was represented as
standing on the crescent moon with stars surrounding her head. This Isis thing
is more extensive than one might think — figures quite prominently in the
British circles. Here too with A. Huxley. Jonathan Cott, in Isis and Osiris:
Exploring the Goddess Myth (Doubleday 1994) said in his Acknowledgments: “I am
inestimably grateful to my editor, Jacqueline Onassis, for guiding me through
the realms of Isis and Osiris . . .” in Isis and Osiris (the book Jackie
Onassis supervised just before her death) a group called Ammonites is prominent
and in fear of persecution. The chief God of the Ammonites was Milcom.
A Professor Elletson proposed that
the Satanic money power seeks to spiritually and genetically destroy the
culture and civilizations of Aryan, Indo-European or Western Man. Arnold
Toynbee admitted that an original or “Aryan” or “Indo-European” language
preceded all other languages. H.G. Wells said that those who were of Aryan
dissent thought alike. The former was a high officer in British Intelligence
while the latter was a Fabian. Albert Pike is quoted by Elletson on Aryanism.
Pike was a student of Sanskrit (which he learned later in life).
Gorby forum attendee Willis Harman,
New Age philosopher, president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author
of Global Mind Change and The New Metaphysical Foundation of Modern Science,
has had a profound effect on our society in the past couple of decades. In “Our
Hopeful Future: Creating a Sustainable Society,” one of his new essays, Harman
reported: “Around the world one detects murmurings that industrialized and
‘developing’ countries alike have a need for a new social order — that, in
fact, the situation calls for a worldwide systemic change.” “In the
economy-dominated world, as anthropologist Margaret Mead once put it bluntly,
‘the unadorned truth is that we do not need now, and will not need later, much
of the marginal labor — the very young, the very old, the very uneducated, and
the very stupid.’” “This dilemma is perhaps the most basic one we face,” said
Harman. Society can’t afford “from an environmental standpoint, or from the
standpoint of tearing apart of the social fabric — the economic growth that
would be necessary to provide jobs for all in the conventional sense, and the
inequities which have come to accompany that growth. This dilemma, more than
any other aspect of our current situation, indicates how fundamental a system
change is now required.” David C. Korten is a disciple of Harman.
The Royal Institute of
International Affairs used the life-time work of Aldous Huxley and
Bulwer-Lytton as its blueprint to bring about a state where mankind will no
longer have wills of their own in the One World Government-New World Order of
the fast-approaching New Dark Age. Huxley said: “In many societies at many
levels of civilization, attempts have been made to fuse drug intoxication with
God intoxication. In ancient Greece, for example, ethyl alcohol had its place
in the established religions. Dionysus, Bacchus, as he was often called, was a
true divinity. Complete prohibition of chemical changes can be decreed but
cannot be enforced.”
Homosexual drug-addict and City of
London agent, Aldous Huxley, introduced LSD into the USA on behalf of the
clandestine Tavistock Institute, said to be responsible for the Port Arthur
Massacre.
So much of what ‘man’ has thought
and done has, as we have just read, been folly. However, God, Whom these
‘intellectuals’ have left out of the equation, promised us a prophet and a way
to escape the destruction being wrought by such carnal men (Malachi 4:5-6;
Revelation 10:7).
