"No sign of guilt"

There is no question that today’s psychiatrists, while unable to cure insanity, seem to have no problem in creating it. They can readily manipulate the behaviour of a human being with the help of psycho-drugs and other physically and mentally damaging “treatments”.

Studies internationally have particularly and repeatedly demonstrated the causative effect of drugs on violent and murderous behaviour — both homicidal and suicidal.


A probe of the infrastructure of al-Qa’eda behind bin Laden (far left) shows the role of surgeon Ayman al-Zawahiri (centre) to be much more than bin Laden’s right-hand man and personal doctor. Al-Zawahiri’s terrorist history is far more formidable and extensive than bin Laden’s. Left: Taliban leader Omar became an al-Qa’eda puppet.
For example, just one study done in Sweden in 2000 on 47 juvenile law-breakers found that 40% of them were users of a mild tranquilizer known as “fear-cleaner” and a psychotropic drug called “the date rape drug” which incited them to commit extremely violent crimes.

“The users showed no sign of guilt for their violent crimes (‘When I knifed him, I felt as if I put the knife into butter’),” the report read, quoting the thoughts of the juveniles. “‘I felt nothing, when I knifed him five times’,” a teenager was quoted as saying.*7

Psychiatry or psychiatric treatments have been employed to facilitate the execution of totalitarian and terrorist objectives. The Japanese “kamikaze” pilots who suicidally attacked allied ships during World War II, used amphetamines to get charged up. Amphetamines are addictive and can cause personality changes, psychosis, euphoria and combativeness.

While Islamic law is interpreted to forbid use of “all intoxicants” — substances that would diminish one’s alertness or capacity to function (the Koran states, “Spirits, gambling and idols are evils which you should avoid so that you may prosper") — they are found in al-Qa’eda and other terrorist networks, and in the Taliban, further confirming the presence of psychiatric, and not “religious” masters at the core of operations.

In the 1980s, “pep pills” (amphetamines) were provided for suicide-bombers in the Middle East. Today, Dr. Ariel Merari, a psychologist at Tel Aviv University, tells us that suicide-bombers undergo “psychological indoctrination, intended to motivate them to move past ‘the point of no return.’” More recently in Sierra Leone’s recent civil war, children as young as seven were given cocaine, amphetamines and other drugs to prepare them for combat. The effect, they said, was that they could go on murderous binges for days without stopping.

Terms of Psychological Warfare

In addition to drugs and other physically damaging techniques, methods used by those shaping and controlling a terrorist network involve psychological conditioning and indoctrination. Subjects are coaxed and/or drugged into a frame of mind conducive to violence, death and suicide. Further, the means of inciting and controlling masses by exploiting broad-based fears, hatreds and ambitions have been carefully honed by psychiatrists and their despots for more than a century — their efficacy a matter of record from Nazi-incited, anti-Jewish Germany in the 1930s to the anti-Islamic hysteria whipped up in the former Yugoslavia in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The techniques often begin with a standard propaganda tool: the redefinition of terms.

Al-Qa’eda abuses “jihad,” a word with a very specific meaning that allows people to defend themselves when threatened — but never to terrorize.

...........................
It was al-Zawahiri, trained in Cairo, who convinced bin Laden to establish al-Qa’eda, thereby providing “The Base” for training, supply and operations of militants from Egypt and elsewhere.
...........................
Jihad derives from an Arabic term meaning “to strive,” and, in one major sense, it denotes an individual’s spiritual striving against sin. Its meaning for group defence, however, was redefined by Ayman al-Zawahiri to mean an all-out campaign of terror against “Jews and Crusaders,” with Crusaders so loosely identified as to include Americans and, based on ample evidence of wholesale slaughter, ethnic Afghans (primarily from Northern Afghanistan) who did not support al-Qa’eda and the Taliban.

“Jihad” thereby cloaked planned genocide — even against fellow Muslims — in a term of righteousness. It paved the way for mass deaths, uncounted rapes and sweeping violations of human rights.

In looking beyond the religious rhetoric, the agenda is patently political and ethnic.

Al-Qa’eda and the Taliban have perpetuated and encouraged genocidal crimes against the native Afghans. According to reports of human rights authorities and observers, these have included destruction of crops and food supplies, rounding up, jailing, torturing and killing the men and boys, and gang-raping (and often murdering) women and girls. Estimates say that tens of thousands of Muslims from Northern Afghanistan were exterminated at the hands of al-Qa’eda and the Taliban.

Understanding

The scenario that emerges is one of individual psychiatrists and psychologists like Ayman al-Zawahiri and Ali Mohamed working behind terror operations. They instill bin Laden and other supporters of militant operations with their motivation and conditioning — helping to convert veterans of the war with the Soviet Union and new recruits into international terrorists and genocidal executioners.

These masters of terror exploit religion as they do politics and ethnic differences; they use any fields where passions can be easily cultivated to control individuals and groups in the pursuit of their deadly ends.

And while they themselves may serve other masters or pursue their own broader agendas, to understand them we must understand their methods — including the destructive and manipulative psychiatric weapons they wield — in order to bring us a step closer to preventing further evil and restoring world peace.

Psychiatric Crimes Exposed
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) has published a series of booklets which thoroughly document psychiatric harm, abuse, criminality and fraud in different zones of society.

The first of the series, Creating Racism, Psychiatry’s Betrayal, set off an international firestorm of controversy about psychiatry.

The publication, Harming Lives — Psychiatry Betraying & Drugging Children, documents how the fraud of “educational disorders” is carried out for the enrichment of those who profit from psychiatric drugs — at the expense of our nation’s school children.

With more than four million American children alone fraudulently labelled as having mental “disorders,” psychiatrists are creating a generation of drug addicts.
