Instruments of the New World Order A Work in Progress MKULTRA, KINSEY & ROCKEFELLER: Instruments of the New World Order © Judith A. Reisman, PhD, Pres. The Reisman Institute, August 10, 2020 Rhonda Miller, Pres. Purple for Parents Indiana 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1932 communist W.Z. Foster predicted the destruction of America’s “education, morality, ethics, science, art, patriotism, religion” was necessary to establish a “New World Order.” 1 America’s social, economic, and sexual stability rested on Judeo-Christian beliefs and laws − abstinence before and faithfulness during consensual heterosexual marriage. Her national health and wealth testified to the success of this normal biopsychological sexual model. From 1941, when America entered WWII, the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) began funding the work of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, who would have been known to RF as a sadomasochistic bi/homosexual. RF backing ensured Kinsey’s 1948 book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male instant popularity; “the Kinsey scale” codified “fluid sexuality” for the future, ensuring his enduring international fame. RF connected Kinsey with a wider network of RF-funded scientists. From c.1946 Kinsey partnered with RF’s Columbia-Greystone Brain Project at New York’s “Snake Pit,” Rockland Mental Hospital. The results of Kinsey’s studies of sexual responses of lobotomized patients, are sanitized in Kinsey’s 1953 book Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. This paper provides new evidence that the 2,034 infants and children sexually violated for Kinsey’s globe-changing “scientific proof” of infant/child orgasm were sourced from these and similar entities. 82% of Kinsey’s child sex experiments are a match with the “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” used on terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay. Since Kinsey’s definition of “orgasm” involves symptomatology indistinguishable from epileptic fit, terror/distress and/or electric shock treatment, the physiological responses he declared as child “orgasm”, were true trauma responses. This is a newly uncovered Kinsey fraud represented as “science” by his RF funders. Very far from the organic “shock” of a scientific break-through advertised, this paper argues that Kinsey’s sex work served as part of a broader psyops,2 as rationale for thorough social change. As recently as 2020, RF claimed credit for “funding a sexual revolution” via the “Kinsey Reports.” From 1954 Congressional efforts to investigate Kinsey’s sex work and the causal connection between pornography and ever-rising levels of child sexual abuse have been successfully blocked. Those acting in Rockefeller interests have prevented Kinsey’s exposure while promoting his conclusions. From 1953, Hefner, “Kinsey’s pamphleteer” marketed RF/Kinsey’s lies to young college men via Playboy. The sexual restraint of previous generations--responsible for building America--were reframed as a web of hypocritical lies; premarital, extramarital, meaningless, love-free sex glamorised; and a generation, with Hefner its guru, embraced cynicism about human relationships, nihilism and rejection of all received wisdom. The 1955 RF-funded Model Penal Code (MPC), drafted by RF’s approved team, citing Kinsey, would over-turn prior sex laws, including obscenity laws by 1957, and trivialized sexual abuse. In 1964, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), funded by Playboy, and based at the Kinsey Institute, taught schools to disparage chastity, heterosexuality and monogamy. Soon, with “obscenity exemptions” allowed for “education” K-12 instructed in exotic sexual behaviors. Ever- greater upticks in child rape, pornography and deadly STDs have, predictably, followed. In 2014, the Kinsey Institute (KI) won United Nations consultative status for “educational” materials which aimed at over- riding the most basic instinct for self-preservation in children of all ages, effectively preparing them to co- operate with RF’s social change agenda. Since 2019 the KI’s App., the “Kinsey Reporter”, solicited “citizen scientists” (of any age) to record/report all sex acts/crimes anonymously. Congressional investigation of a criminal nexus of RF, KI, Big Pharma, Big Porn, Big Abort and “sexual health” providers and educators, past and present, is critically needed to halt the damage these entities inflicted on three successive generations in their obsession for a New World Order. 1 William Z.

  • Extermination of the Jewish Mentally-Ill During the Nazi Era — the “Doubly Cursed”
    Isr J Psychiatry Relat Sci Vol 45 No. 4 (2008) 247–256 Extermination of the Jewish Mentally-Ill during the Nazi Era — The “Doubly Cursed” Rael Strous, MD Beer Yaakov Mental Health Center, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel. Abstract: In Nazi Germany, physicians initiated a program of sterilization and euthanasia directed at the mentally-ill and physically disabled. Relatively little is known regarding the fate of the Jewish mentally-ill. Jewish mentally-ill were definitely included and targeted and were among the first who fell victim. They were systematically murdered follow- ing transfer as a specialized group, as well as killed in the general euthanasia program along with non-Jewish mentally- ill. Their murder constituted an important link between euthanasia and the Final Solution. The targeting of the Jewish mentally-ill was comprised of four processes including public assistance withdrawal, hospital treatment limitations, sterilization and murder. Jewish “patients” became indiscriminate victims not only on the basis of psychiatric diagno- sis, but also on the basis of race. The killing was efficiently coordinated with assembly in collection centers prior to being transferred to their deaths. The process included deceiving Jewish patients’ family members and caregivers in order to extract financial support long after patients had been killed. Jewish patients were targeted since they were helpless and considered the embodiment of evil. Since nobody stood up for the Jews, the Nazis could treat the Jewish patients as they saw fit. Several differences existed between euthanasia of Jews and non-Jews, among which the Jewish mentally-ill were killed regardless of work ability, hospitalization length or illness severity.

    THE HIDDEN SIDE OF PSYCHIATRY by Gary Null, Ph.D. 1 Note: The information on this website is not a substitute for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified, licensed professional. Note: The information on this website is not a substitute for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified, licensed professional. Mental illness is at an all-time high, with 40 million Americans affected, according to reports emanating from organized psychiatry . But just how accurate is this account? As you will see, people seeking help from the mental health industry are often misdiagnosed, wrongfully treated, and abused. Others are deceptively lured to psychiatric facilities, or even kidnapped. No matter how they arrive, though, once they are there, inmates lose all freedoms and are forced to undergo dangerous but sanctioned procedures, such as electro convulsive therapy and treatment with powerful drugs, that can leave them emotionally, mentally, and physically marked for life. Some psychiatric patents are physically and sexually abused. Millions more are told that they need harmful medications, such as Prozac and Ritalin, but are not told of the seriously damaging side effects of these. Add to all this a mammoth insurance fraud--which we all pay for--and what we have, in sum, is the dark side of psychiatry. Millions of individuals are being grievously harmed by the mental health profession, and it's time that we as a society faced this. Fraudulent Practices in Mental Health Fraud in the mental health industry goes beyond being a problem; it's more like an all-pervasive condition. By way of introductory illustration, let's look at the recent legal problems of a company that owned several chains of psychiatric hospitals , National Medical Enterprises (NME) .

The Third Reich was during the years 1933 to 1945, when Germany was governed by a dictatorship under the control of Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP (The National Socialist German Worker’s Party). These exchanges were made by renowned eugenicists worldwide both on the local and international level.

  • A Joint History of the Nature of Genetic Variation and the Nature of Schizophrenia KS Kendler
    Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 77–83 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/15 www.nature.com/mp EXPERT REVIEW A joint history of the nature of genetic variation and the nature of schizophrenia KS Kendler This essay traces the history of concepts of genetic variation and schizophrenia from Darwin and Mendel to the present. For Darwin, the important form of genetic variation for evolution is continuous in nature and small in effect. Biometricians led by Pearson agreed and developed statistical genetic approaches utilizing trait correlations in relatives. Mendel studied discontinuous traits and subsequent Mendelians, led by Bateson, assumed that important genetic variation was large in effect producing discontinuous phenotypes. Although biometricians studied ‘insanity’, schizophrenia genetics under Kraepelin and Rüdin utilized Mendelian approaches congruent with their anatomical-clinical disease model of dementia praecox. Fisher showed, assuming many genes of small effect, Mendelian and Biometrical models were consilient. Echoing prior conflicts, psychiatric genetics since then has utilized both biometrical models, largely in twins, and Mendelian models, based on advancing molecular techniques. In 1968, Gottesman proposed a polygenic model for schizophrenia based on a threshold version of Fisher’s theory. Since then, rigorous studies of the schizophrenia spectrum suggest that genetic risk for schizophrenia is more likely continuous than categorical. The last 5 years has seen increasingly convincing evidence from genome-wide association study (GWAS) and sequencing that genetic risk for schizophrenia is largely polygenic, and congruent with Fisher’s and Gottesman’s models. The gap between biometrical and molecular Mendelian models for schizophrenia has largely closed. The efforts to ground a categorical biomedical model of schizophrenia in Mendelian genetics have failed.
