It immediately seems that some people might find this author objectionable — rightly or wrongly.

Personally, I have little interest in controversies over the Biblical meanings of anything. As to the Jewish participation in the Bolshevik calamities, the opinion of General Wrangel was perhaps the clearest statement I have seen on the subject.

The puke of �anti-Semitism� is not fashionable to-day, except perhaps as a propaganda item on its own, in a perverted manner. Let no one be misled on that count from appreciating the true nature and the facts of the history of �marxism-leninism�.

Those facts were ugly, just too many ugly facts are on record. Certainly not �in good taste�.

However, if you let those facts be covered up — which is being done day in day out in the Press etc. — then we all might end up in trouble, due to somebody's fervent beliefs in the 'world revolution' (see the Internet).

Or, possibly, due to some true-believer 'marxist' dupes having served for the tools of some yet other parties.

Who really wrote "The Soviet art of brainwashing" ?

I have a copy in my hand, by the Noontide Press in Torrance, California, which edition per the library catalogues was published ca. 1979 (I find no date in the text).

One notices that the article which opens the text is attributed to Beria, "prior to 1936" (Editorial Note, p. 1).

This part, two-page long, is clearly attributed to Beria. The rest of the text in my hand is not attributed to any particular author but I gather that it had been compiled based on "Communist Manual of Instructions of Psychopolitical Warfare" — from the introduction signed by Kenneth Goff.

"The text of this book in general is from the Communist Manual, etc." are the exact words by K. Goff (Editorial Note, p. 1). This clearly implies there having been an earlier publication under such a title.

Gives Mr. Goff, "The only revision in this book is the summary, etc." (Editorial Note, p. 1). There having been several editions of this item, one knows little before having seen the several versions.

On further research : this text traces to :

Feldkeller, Paul, 1889- Title W�rterbuch der Psychopolitik. Publisher Bern, M�nchen, Franke [1967] Series Dalp-Taschenb�cher,389 D Format Book

Feldkeller, Paul, 1889- Title Psycho-Politik, zur Demokratisierung, politischen Erziehung und S�uberung. Publisher Berlin, Chronos Verlag [1947]

Apparently, several authors were involved in the American publications.

I have witnessed acquaintances of mine questioning — or invalidating — the term 'brain-washing'.

I do not suppose that the term in question need either attacks or defenses. It seems that any attacks on a term have been most likely conducted by people who had been themselves duped into a distraction. — (WPT).

American students at the Lenin University, I welcome your attendance at these classes on Psychopolitics.

Psychopolitics is an important if less known division of Geo-politics. It is less known because it must necessarily deal with highly educated personnel, the very top strata of "mental healing."

By psychopolitics our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific turmoil. At least a weary populace can seek peace only in our offered Communist State, at last only Communism can resolve the problems of the masses.

A psychopolitician must work hard to produce the maximum chaos in the fields of "mental healing." He must recruit and use all the agencies and facilities of "mental healing." He must labor to increase the personnel and facilities of "mental healing" until at last the entire field of mental science is entirely dominated by Communist principles and desires.

To achieve these goals the psychopolitician must crush every "home-grown" variety of mental healing in America. Actual teachings of James, Eddy and Pentecostal Bible faith healers . . . must be swept aside. . . . You must work until every teacher of psychology unknowingly or knowingly teaches only Communist doctrine under the guise of "psychology." You must labor until every doctor and psychiatrist is either a psycho-politician or an unwitting assistant to our aims.

You must labor until we have dominion over the minds and bodies of every important person in your nation. You must achieve such disrepute for the state of insanity and such authority over its pronouncement that not one statesman so labeled could again be given credence by his people. You must work until suicide arising from mental imbalance is common and calls forth no general investigation or remark.

With the institutions for the insane you have in your country prisons which can hold a million persons and can hold them without civil rights or any hope of freedom. And upon these people can be practiced shock and surgery so that never again will they draw a sane breath. You must make these treatments common and accepted. And you must sweep aside any treatment or any group of persons seeking to treat by effective means.

You must dominate as respected men the fields of psychiatry and psychology. [Etc.]

    1. Lavrenti Beria, one of the (numerous) murderers murdered in the U.S.S.R.
    This entire publication looks rather like a paraphrasis than an exact translation of other material. The attribution of this Address to Beria seems to need corroboration.
    This may well be worthy digging into the old Soviet archives — insofar as such material could have been preserved.

From Why Americans are SHEEPLES: FLUORIDE by Oliver Kenneth, 22 June 1957

I, Oliver Kenneth Goff was a member of the Communist Party and the Young Communist League, from May 2, 1936 to October 9, 1939. During this period of time, I operated under the alias of John Keats and the number 18-B-2. My testimony before the Government is incorporated in Volume 9 of the Un-American Activities Report for the year 1939.

While a member of the Communist Party, I attended Communist underground training schools outside the City of New York: In the Bues Hall, and 113 East Wells Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The East Wells Street School operated under the name of the Eugene Debs School. Here, under the tutoring of Eugene Dennis, M. Sparks, Morris Childs, Jack Kling and others, we were schooled in the art of revolutionary overthrow of the established Government.
