Richard Baumhammers:
On April 28, 2000, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
Baumhammers shot six people, killing five and paralyz-

Asians, an African American and a Jewish woman who
lived next door to his parents. Desiring the same noto-
riety as Hitler and the Oklahoma City bomber,
Baumhammers had frequented white supremacist
web sites and tried to form a Free Market political party
opposing non-white, non-European immigration. He
then chose his victims accordingly. Prior to the killing
spree, he had been under treatment by 12 different
psychologists and psychiatrists and had taken up to 17
different psychiatric drugs.36
*Psychological Operations (Psy-Ops) is the study of psychology for military purposes with the primary purpose "to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator's objectives."Psy-Ops can be used to "influence the emotions, motives, objectivereasoning or behavior of a targeted public." Responsible for 168 deaths , Timothy McVeigh (above) had earlier received training in "Psychological Operations" in the army, which involvedmind-bending techniques that many have been adversely affected by.

During the Soviet era, PatriceLumumba and the Lenin Institute trained studentsin social psychology, unarmed combat and guerril-la warfare. Between 1968 and 1975, an estimated2,500 terrorists and guerillas were trained there.39 "The curriculum at Patrice Lumumba covered all aspects of the techniques of persuasion," includ-ing the means to "manipulate and, when needsbe, coerce without resorting to physical force,"wrote Gordon Thomas, author of Journey intoMadness, Medical Torture and the MindControllers.40 Soviet psychiatrists, who saw them-selves "as not so much acting on orders from theKGB as performing the normal functions of a doc-tor," advised terrorists on how to gain cooperationfrom a captive with the use of drugs.41 Such drugscould reduce a person to "near imbecility, orcaused joints to become inflamed or shrink fromthe bones, created temporary blindness, impairedspeech, produced incontinence, resulted in loss of hair and led to frightening rises in body temperatures," of those who now controlled his every action."

Some psychiatrists glorify and justifythe vicious, criminal acts of terrorists 2on the basis of the terrorist's mental, biological or cultural circumstances.

Side effects of these drugs includedepression and feelings of aggression and paranoia. Investigations of the terrorist phenomenon have found the influence of psychiatrists, psychologists and their methods in terrorist groups to be strong and pervasive.

Specialist David Bischel reported that"Combat Stress Management was handing outProzac and Paxil like crazy" to those who staffedthe prison, "trying to get a handle on the frustra-tion and depression."56 Time magazine reported in the wake of 9/11 that no one should be "wandering off into [anantidepressant]-induced forgetfulness."57 Passingout known, violence-inducing antidepressants to soldiers who are responsible for keeping the peace is, at best, ill-advised; at worst, criminal abuse. Jerrold Post, a psychiatrist and "political psychology expert" who teaches at George Washington University, has stated widely that inhis professional opinion as a former CIA analyst, terrorists who kill are not psychopaths, "but use psychological strategy for political change." The prior influence of psychiatry is apparent in 1 the racist views and radical religious fundamentalism of most terrorist groups. As early as 1916, German psychiatrists waged a 2campaign to "purify the race" by the sterilization and castration of "unfit stock."Eventually, those "selected" were gassed in concentrationcamps.
The "ethnic cleansing" of Bosnia-Herzegovina and 3 Kosovo was based on the same psychiatric theories of "racial hygiene" and racial superiority/inferiority that led to the Nazi Holocaust.
Psychiatrists and psychologists developed the eugenics ideology of racial purity used by Hitler and German psychiatry, led by Ernst Rüdin (above left). Eugenics paved the way for the Nazi euthanasia program, the Holocaust and later, lead directly to other atrocities, such as ethnic cleansing in the Balkans during the 1990s.
Ideology Spawns
Most terrorist groups today was the primary author of the 1933 Sterilization embrace extremist political Laws of Nazi Germany. He urged that psychiatry views and hold racist positions take a major role in purifying the race, that range from "white which, he said, involved ensuring that supremacism" and anti-Semitism genetically "defective" persons "shall not be able to radical religious fundamentalism and to propagate."60anti-Westernism.

Between 1934 and 1945, up to 350,000 people were sterilized. By 1940, "killing"centers using gas to exterminate mental patientswere operating in German asylums. A year later,this euthanasia program was expanded into theconcentration camps. "The killing in the concen-tration camps went along the same lines and withthe same registration forms as in the insane asy-lums," noted one proud German psychiatrist.
Incredibly, only four out of dozens of guilty Nazi psychiatrists were prosecuted at the 1946Nuremberg trials. Most escaped justice, and manyreturned to psychiatric practice after the war. Someeven occupied government positions again.
Not until 1999 did German psychiatrists fully admit publicly that psychiatry had spawned "eugenics" and the racial "inferiority/superiority"ideology that had been poisoning the minds of theGerman people for almost three decades before Setting the Stage

Prisoners at a Serbian concentration camp An alarming report that 71% ofAmericans suffered from depres- 1 sion following the 9/11 attack was based on a psychiatric survey ofonly 1,200 people within severaldays of the attack. In this way, apredictable human reaction to ahorrendous tragedy was immediately turned into a "mental disorder." Opportunist psychiatrists predicted "post-traumatic stress 2disorder" (PTSD) in a large percentage of New Yorkers following the attacks, requesting$3 billion to "treat" it. Three psychiatrists first invented the term "PTSD" to describe 3 difficulties suffered by Vietnam War veterans. While the effects of warare devastating, psychiatrists usepeople's logical reactions to it tomake money at the expense of their vulnerability.
Experts hold that the "psychologicaltrauma counseling" often provided 4 to victims of terrorism or tragedies "at best is useless. …"; recipients have done "worse than those whoreceived nothing at all." Much data exists validating man's resilience following tragedy 5 and the value of talking to an understanding friend, familymember or member of the clergyat such times.

The perpetrators are, ofcourse, feeding at the public trough."67 By "formalizing consensus," Dr. Dorman refers to the process where "disorders" are literally votedinto existence by a show of APA committee hands.
Testifying before the U.S. Congress in 1992, psychiatrist Walter Afield said, "Psychiatry is notan exact science.

More than two-thirds of trauma victims studied said that they had actually benefitedfrom the trauma in some way, Richard Tedeschi,a clinical psychologist from the University ofNorth Carolina stated.76 In a study of Vietnam-era prisoners of war, nearly two-thirds said they were more content,stronger and wiser than they were before their captivity.77 Horrified New Yorkers watch as the World Trade Center towers burn.

Psychiatric abuse is the lethal weapon that has sparked the explosion of internationalterrorism. Mind and behavior control must be exposed, outlawed and banned in 1 every country in the world.
Individuals who employ pernicious psychiatric methods to manufacture terroristsmust be identified and placed at the forefront of the Most Wanted List of International 2 Terrorists. The only way to win the War on Terrorism is to render inoperative the psychiatrists behind the manufacture of murderers.
The United Nations, NGOs, human rights groups and concerned citizens must work 3 together to create a new international human rights covenant that member states sign and ratify to protect the right of all individuals to be safe from mind control andpsychiatric abuse and that affirmatively requires governments to uncover and stop all such abuse.
No person should ever be forced to undergo electric shock treatment, psychosurgery, 4 coercive psychiatric treatment, or the enforced administration of mind-altering drugs.
Governments should outlaw such abuses.
Legal protections should be put in place to ensure that psychiatrists and psychologistsare prohibited from violating the right of every person to exercise all civil, political, 5 economic, social and cultural rights as recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and in otherrelevant instruments, such as Body of Principles for the Protection of All Personsunder Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment.
Taxpayers' money must not be used to fund psychiatry's unworkable methods and"treatment" for "diseases" that cannot be scientifically verified. Post Traumatic Stress 6 Disorder (PTSD) is not a "disease"—it is a normal reaction to a traumatic situation.

Item #18905-3 "I am sure it would be sensible to restrict as much as possible the work of these [psychologists and psychiatrists], who are capable of doing an immense amount of harm with what may very easily degenerate into charlatanry. The tightest hand should be kept over them, and they should not be allowed to quarter themselves in large numbers among the Fighting Services at the public expense." — Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister, 1942
