CONFIDENTIAL
PROJECT PSYCHIATRY

In accordance with HCO pol ltr 17 Feb 1966, the HCO Area Sec SH will organise it with great care in the selection of personnel whose bona fides must also be passed on by the Ad Council SH and Ad Council WW. The Section personnel must be procured quickly by ads in London papers giving our London phone number in the ad for relay to Saint Hill.

The Ad should read “Investigators services of trained personnel required for interesting work. Phone Langham 3601”. Repeat the same ad with “Enquiry Agents” as [its lead;] Advertise often.

Five in all are authorised with the Section Officer chosen by statistics after work is begun.

Stenographic and file personnel must be given this section.

The top budget per week including salaries and expenses of all investigators and clerks is £300 and it must be kept below that until raised by my SECED and based on results.

No agency may be hired. Our upsets in legal, accounting and investigation stem from hiring outside agencies instead of individual professionals as staff or hiring persons who like the recent accountants “weren’t really part of staff”. Our investigators must be our own staff and reliable.

THE PROJECT

Project Psychiatry arises by the psychiatric attack on us in the US, in Australia and now England.

These attacks since 23 Jan 1963 follow my withdrawal from heading up our investigatory actions of attackers. So long as we investigated attackers, the attacks folded up. When we ceased, the attacks took a new violence. This is what changed that gave us a down statistic in this matter of attacks. It is repaired by the organisation of Div 1 Section 5.²

The attacking group as may be expected has a bad background. It is nowhere legalised by name under law. It derives any “authority” by medical degrees but psychiatrists are not qualified medical doctors in actual training and practice. Insanity has no precise definition, but is whatever they say it is. And whoever they say is insane is usually somebody who is in a temporary exhaustion or who doesn’t agree with them.

There is a conspiracy [here we has gotten across the path of ..] Any person in the world can be pronounced “insane”, killed or assaulted and made incompetent at the whim of any psychiatrist. Further they pretend they can suspend civil rights! This is a violation of human rights. And far too much power for one group composed of men who at best act insanely when faced with any challenge.

We do not know if there would be any “hopelessly insane” people if there were no psychiatrists. For insanity is anything anybody says it is.

Hitler invented the pre-frontal lobotomy to make farm zombies. LSD25 as a drug administered to a person makes him temporarily insane. The Russians abandoned all this realizing these “treatments” were Fascist, were begun by the Czar’s secret police and have yet to cure anyone of anything except life. “The World Book” states they do no good.

Anyone dying as a result of an operation on the brain (and they generally do, at once or in a few years) has been from our standpoint, and in view of the fact that it helps no one, murdered. Anyone given electric shock has been assaulted, as shock hasn’t ever cured any “insanity”.

A psychiatrist today has the power to (1) take a fancy to a woman (2) lead her to take wild treatment as a joke (3) drug or shock her to temporary insanity (4) incarcerate her (5) use her sexually (6) sterilize her to prevent conception (7) kill her by a brain operation to prevent disclosure. And all with no fear of reprisal. Yet it is rape and murder.

There are fantastic statistics on this already. Thousands killed yearly by shock and operations, a rising rate of insanity, rising costs for insane appropriations, and all with violence.

Psychiatrists violently attack not only persons but groups such as ours. And they have very dirty hands. And the public hates them, they have no large membership and buy no advertising.

They pretend some sort of government position. They are a private group; in the US they are a stock company. They have no more official position than bookies. Yet their own megalomania (delusions of grandeur) lead them to pretend a mighty status.

Lord Balniel’s Mental Health Association has no more official status than the Plumbers Association! Yet he can, as an MP, pretend for his group official public status and does.

If these violations of human liberty aren’t checked we will soon see “thought police” and an end of individual rights.

I have done a preliminary investigation. I find the material available in individual psychiatrists enormous. We do not care about their conspiracy to rule the world even if it exists. They are no stronger than their individual practitioners and they are weak.

All we want are case histories from complaints by relatives or friends that fill our files with evidence of murder, assault and rape under the guise of “treatment”. We only want actionable evidence. Testimony that “Johnny wasn’t so bad until he saw Dr. Nut. Then he got shocked and got worse.” That’s assault. “Bob was all right but after he saw Dr. Mutt he was worse and then Mutt operated and Bob died”. Murder at least in the second and we hope with enough evidence to be first degree murder. “Evelyn became sexually promiscuous after she was treated by Dr. Gutt and told me he raped her”. Rape. By getting testimony and evidence we can amass a collection and an exposure of psychiatry for what it is. If we are further troubled we will start feeding the data in any enquiry demanding arrests.

If we are challenged with incitement to riot we claim we didn’t but they did by their actions.

We also will form committees to use this data, collecting together a lot of protest committees that already exist.

Psychiatric bloodsports. Psychiatric Auschwitz all proven by individual cases.

Carefully do not attack medical doctors as such. You will find they will discern psychiatry at the first breath in fear which will help us.

We want at least one bad mark on every psychiatrist in England, a murder, an assault, or a rape or more than one.

This is Project Psychiatry. We will remove them.
