As Daniel Boorstein noted "We suffer primarily ... from our illusions.
We are haunted, not by reality, but by those images we have put in
place of reality"
According to Kelly Malone
"A poverty stricken 28 year old, known as ... Sigmund Freud, relays
from his Viennese Neurologist perspective in 1884; "I have been
reading about cocaine, the essential ingredient of coca leaves, which
some Indian tribes chew to enable them to resist privations and
hardships." He writes to his fiancée, Martha Bernays on April 21 1884,
"I am procuring some myself and will try it..."
Procure cocaine he did. Aside from encouraging Martha to try it, she
states that he "pressed it on friends and colleagues, both for
themselves and their patients; he gave it to his sisters. In short,
looked at from the vantage point of present knowledge, he was rapidly
becoming a public menace."

In 1894, 1895, and 1896 the cocaine addicted Viennese neurologist,
Sigmund Freud, gave a series of empirically articulated lectures
before his Viennese colleagues wherein Freud called upon his
colleagues to establish the science of psychology to unearth and
examine the early childhood sexual abuse of neurotics to enable them
to recover from the early childhood sexual abuse which scientific
study had consistently found to be the etiology of "neurosis".
See Sigmund Freud's scientific lectures "The Neuropsychoses of
Defence" (1894a), "A Project for a Scientific Psychology" ([1895]),
"Studies on Hysteria" (1895d) and "The Aetiology of Hysteria" (1896c)
can be found here:
http://www.answers.com/topic/mnemic-symbol?cat=health
Freud's colleagues balked at the establishment of the science of
psychology to help neurotics unearth, examine and recover from
trauma conseqent to childhood sexual abuse, because, the science of
psychology would implicate a great many of Freud's colleagues as
pedarests, including a colleague who was sexually molesting the child
of another colleague at that time.
http://www.physicsroom.org.nz/log/archive/8/pusher/
Recognizing the inevitability that a field of psychology would be
established, Freud's colleagues basically gave the cocaine addicted
Viennese Neurologist a choice:
Either, Freud ditch the empirically articulated science underpinning
neurosis as being consequent to early childhood abuse, sexual or
otherwise, AND, hype a fabled explanation of neurosis instead, OR,
Freud's colleagues would drum Freud out of the profession.
Then, as today, coke addicts will do whatever it takes to keep the
money supply coming to procure the cocaine they can't live without,
ergo, the cocaine addicted Viennese neurologist chose to ditch
empirical science, in favor of the oedipus fables the cocaine
neurologist fabricated out of whole cloth to invalidate the factual
history of childhood victims of domestic violence, sexual predation,
and, terrorism---and, the field of pseudoscience or "telling it like
it isn't" which you call psychology was born.
During the same era, Europe's and America's ruthless and unscrupulous
"Merchants of Death" and "Robberbarons" had wearied of the low regard
with which the rest of humanity held European and American Merchants
of Death and Robber Barons and yearned for respect from the very men,
women and children whom Europe and America's unscrupulous and
ruthless Merchants of Death and Robberbarons were forever plundering
and pillaging and raping and murdering, and, immediately embraced the
politics of fascism or "Telling It Like It Isn't" touted by Adolph
Hitler.
Europe and America's Merchants of Death and Robberbarons bankrolled
and armed Hitler, his Third Reich, and, the Axis powers with all the
money and armnaments which Hitler, The Third Reich and the Axis
powers needed to defeat America and it's Allies in WWII.
See Ratlines:The CIA &The Nazis
http://www.spiritone.com/~gdy52150/ratlines.htm
IF money and armanents were all Hitler, the Third Reich, and the
Axis powers needed to defeat America and the Allied Forces in WW II--
THEN, today, Germany, not America would be the seat of the worlds
only super power.
But, money and armanents weren't all Hitler, the Third Reich and the
Axis powers needed to defeat America and the Allied forces in WW II.
Hitler, the Third Reich and the Axis powers needed human cannon
fodder to defeat the ragtag, virtually unarmed, tens of millions of
Russian peasants willing to sacrifice their lives to stop the ruthless
and unscrupulous fascists from making Russia an occupied country.
Europe's and America's merchants of death and robber barons couldn't
provide Hitler, The Third Reich, and the Axis powers the human
cannon fodder the Third Reich needed to defeat the far greater
manpower of the rag tag, virtually unarmed, Russian Army.
By January 1944, Europe's and America's ruthless and unscrupulous
merchants of death and robberbarons accepted the reality that America
and the Allied Powers military victory over Hitler, The Third Reich,
and the Axis Power was inevitable, and the merchants of death began to
implement Plan B.
Plan B being one wherein America's ruthless and unscrupulous fascist
merchants of death and robber barons wedded themselves to the US
Military, by, America's ruthless and unscrupulous merchants of death
and robber barons obtaining high ranking commissions as Colonel and
above within the US Military to recreate the permanent fascist
Military Industrial Complex the Nazi party had established in
Germany, within the USA.
"First of all such a [preparedness] program must be the responsibility
of the federal government. It must be initiated and administrated by
the executive branch--by the President as Commander in Chief and by
the War and Navy Departments. Of equal importance is the fact that
this must be, once and for all, a continuing program and not the
creature of an emergency. In fact one of its objects will be to
eliminate emergencies so far as possible. The role of Congress is
limited to voting the needed funds...
{Fascist merchants of death and robberbarons} role in this program is
to respond and cooperate.... in the execution of the part allotted to
it; {Fascist merchants of death and robberbarons} must not be hampered
by political witch-hunts, or thrown to the fanatical isolationist
fringe tagged with a merchants of death label."139
An excerpt from Spooks, Jim Hougan, William Morrow, 1978, p424-430.
according to "Ratlines:The CIA &The Nazis" which can be found here:
http://www.spiritone.com/~gdy52150/ratlines.htm
"Such words render the elegant debates of Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson
and others of the founding fathers and set forth in the constitution
to provide Congress with an absolute choke-reign on the military power
and spending mute"
See Ratlines:The CIA &The Nazis
http://www.spiritone.com/~gdy52150/ratlines.htm
Once America's ruthless and unscrupulous and fascist merchants of
death sucessfully embedded themselves in high ranking positions within
the US military, their first order of business was to thwart the
Nuremburg's Tribunal's effort to arrest, prosecuted, and execute
Nazi War Criminals, since the successful prosecution of Nazi War
Criminals would have enabled the Nuremberg Tribunal to execute it's
second mandate, the arrest, prosecution, and execution of the
treasonous European and American merchants of death and robberbarons
who bankrolled and armed the Third Reich to defeat America and it's
Allied Forces.
Once America's ruthless and unscrupulous and fascist merchants of
death and robberbarons utilized the high ranking positions they had
embedded themselves in within the US Military to pervert the Nuremberg
tribunal to preclude the execution of both the Nazi war criminals and
the fascist european and american merchants of death and robberbarons
who bankrolled and armed the Third Reich, America's ruthless and
unscrupulous robberbarons and merchants of death utilized the
positions they had embedded thesmelves within the US Military to
transplant all key Nazi's to America soil, where they were employed
by various branches of the US Military , the now permanent US Defense
Industry, AND, Universities, Colleges and Hospitals throughout the
US and Canada where they carried on the experimentation the Nazi's had
initiated in furtherance of and to protect the interests of the
sociopaths amongst us a/k/a merchants of death, robber barons,
scalawags, dirty rotten scoundrels, fascist pigs, cesspool scum.

"From 1950 to 1962, the CIA conducted massive, secret research into
coercion and the malleability of human consciousness which, by the
late fifties, was costing a billion dollars a year. Many Americans
have heard about the most outlandish and least successful aspect of
this research -- the testing of LSD on unsuspecting subjects. While
these CIA drug experiments led nowhere and the testing of electric
shock as a technique led only to lawsuits, research into sensory
deprivation proved fruitful indeed. In fact, this research produced a
new psychological rather than physical method of torture, perhaps best
described as "no-touch" torture."
{...}
".....torture experimentation of the 1950s and early 1960s was
codified in 1963 in a succinct, secret instructional booklet on
torture -- the "KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation" manual,
which would become the basis for a new method of torture disseminated
globally over the next three decades. These techniques were first
spread through the U.S. Agency for International Development's Public
Safety program to train police forces in Asia and Latin America as the
front line of defense against communists and other revolutionaries.
After an angry Congress abolished the Public Safety program in 1975,
the CIA worked through U.S. Army Mobile Training Teams to instruct
military interrogators, mainly in Central America.
At the Cold War's end, Washington resumed its advocacy of universal
principles, denouncing regimes for torture, participating in the World
Conference on Human Rights at Vienna in 1993 and, a year later,
ratifying the UN Convention Against Torture. On the surface, the
United States had resolved the tension between its anti-torture
principles and its torture practices. Yet even when Congress finally
ratified this UN convention it did so with intricately-constructed
reservations that cleverly exempted the CIA's psychological torture
method"
The Hidden History of CIA Torture: America's Road to Abu Ghraib

If the Military Industrial complex was able to put $1,000,000,000 a
year into Koochers Kooks pocketbooks in the 50's and 60's, on the
sly, or behind Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy's back, I shudder
just thinking about the amount of money which the Military Industrial
complex put in the pocketbooks of Koochers Kooks during the
administrations of Nixon, Reagon, Bush I, and Bush II---or, their
men.
Needless to say, the American Psychological Association is and has
been OWNED lock, stock and barrel by ruthless and unscrupulous and
fascist leaders of the US military industrial complex which has been
putting all those $billions$ in Koochers KOOKS pocketbooks, every
year for the last 50-60 years.
As "JK" noted in his/her recent resignation from the American
Psychological Association "The influence of the Pentagon and the CIA
in APA activities is overt and pervasive, if often hidden."

The fascist pigs who recreated the Nazi's military industrial complex
on american soil made academia a wholly own subsidiary of the fascist
US military industrial complex decades ago.
The fascist US military industrial complexs politiciztion of all
"science" means all the intellectuals whoring for the fascist US
military industrial complex are producing pseudoscience which protects
and further the the interests and agenda of their fascist paymasters
within the fascist US military industrial complex.
The big difference between Koochers KOOKS and all the other
pseudoscientists whoring for the fascist US military industrial
complex, is that Koochers KOOKS obtained access to the fount of
private and personal knowledge which KOOCHERS Kooks possess about
americans, under the false pretext of HELPING americans with their
private and personal problems.
By 2002, the so-called "HELP" which Koochers 150,000 Fascist KOOKs
had allegedly provided americans made Koochers fascist kooks the
repository of the proverbial skeletons in the closet of most american
families, hence their employers at the fascist US Military Industrial
Complex also had potential access to all the dirt the fascist US
Military Industrial Complex needed to wage psychological warfare
against any US citizen.
All the ruthless and unscrupulous fascist pigs who wedded the US
Military to the Merchants of Death needed to do to obtain the
repository of personal info which Koochers Amry of fascist KOOKS
possess about a humongous number of Americans, is to have the
servants whoring for them at the American Psychological Association
gut the APA's code of ethics by inserting the infamous Nuremburg
Defense into the code of ethics of the American Psychological
Association---thereby making it so all 150,000 members of the American
Psychological Association were free to make the fascist military
industrial complex privy to the fount of private and personal
knowledge which Koochers Fascist Kooks posssessed about all the
americans koochers kooks had conned into sharing their secrets under
the false pretext of HELP.
Which the fascist leaders of the American Psychological Association
did in 2002, effective January 1, 2003.
"In the 2002 revision of the ethics code, the APA inserted the
infamous clause in standard 1.02 regulating "Conflicts Between Ethics
and Law, Regulations, or Other Governing Legal Authority":
"If psychologists' ethical responsibilities conflict with law,
regulations, or other governing legal authority, psychologists make
known their commitment to the Ethics Code and take steps to resolve
the conflict. If the conflict is unresolvable via such means,
psychologists may adhere to the requirements of the law, regulations,
or other governing legal authority."
Previously the ethics code required adherence to the code or, if
ethics and law conflicted, adherence to the code accompanied by an
attempt to resolve the conflict. Thus, at the beginning of the 21st
century, the APA wrote the Nuremberg defense - "I was just following
orders" - into the ethics code"
{...}
"....the Military Psychology Division actively negotiated and
supported the changes. In fact, as in all other instances, if this
division had not supported the change, there is little chance that
this revision would have come up for a vote, much less been supported
by APA leadership. As has been the case throughout, the APA leadership
gave the 500 odd members (out of 150,000 total, or 1/3rd of one
percent) of the Military Psychology division a major role, and
potentially even a veto power, over any changes. The fact that this
division is repeatedly given such power out of all proportion to its
numbers indicates the importance the APA places upon maintaining good
ties to the military and the Defense Department."

Why I Resigned from the
American Psychological Association
Kenneth S. Pope, Ph.D. , ABPP
The following letter was sent to APA President Alan Kazdin via FedEx
on February 6, 2008, and to members of the APA Council of
Representatives via the Council listserv Thursday morning, February
7:
Alan E. Kazdin, Ph.D.
President,
American Psychological Association
750 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20002-4242
Dear Alan,
With sadness I write to resign from the American Psychological
Association. My respect and affection for the members, along with my
29 year history with APA, make this a hard and reluctant step.
Chairing the Ethics Committee, holding fellow status in 9 divisions,
and receiving the APA Award for Distinguished Contributions to Public
Service, the Division 12 Award for Distinguished Professional
Contributions to Clinical Psychology, and the Division 42 Award for
Mentoring reflect a few chapters in my APA history.
I respectfully disagree with decisive changes that APA has made in
its
ethical stance during the past 6+ years. These changes moved APA far
from its ethical foundation, historic traditions, and basic values,
and beyond what I can in good conscience support with my membership.
I would like to note two examples of disagreement. First, the years
since 9-11 brought concern over psychologists' work that affects
detainees. APA has stressed psychologists' "vital role" regarding
"the
use of ethical interrogations to safeguard the welfare of detainees"
and ways that psychologists "help advance the cause of detainee
welfare and humane treatment." Yet in its ethics code, APA chose not
to recognize any humane treatment requirements governing
psychologists' work with detainees as enforceable standards.
Historically, when concerns arose about the impact of psychologists'
behavior on groups at risk, APA moved decisively to create specific
requirements and limitations in the ethics code's enforceable
standards. These groups included persons "for whom testing is
mandated
by law or governmental regulations," "persons with a questionable
capacity to consent," research participants, "subordinates," clients,
students, supervisees, and employees. Facing concerns about the
impact
of psychologists' behavior on research animals, for example, APA
created an enforceable standard supporting the "humane treatment" of
laboratory animals. But for detainees, APA chose not to adopt any
enforceable standards in the ethics code mandating humane treatment.
The code's numbered ethical standards "set forth enforceable rules of
conduct." The code emphasizes that although other code sections
should
be given consideration, even the code's "Preamble and General
Principles are not themselves enforceable rules..." APA's decision to
adopt an enforceable standard regarding "humane treatment" of animals
but not to adopt an enforceable standard regarding "humane treatment"
of detainees turns APA away from its ethical foundation, historic
traditions, and basic values that should endure even in the midst of
post-9-11 risks and realities.
My second area of disagreement concerns the ethics code that Council
adopted August 21, 2002 (which took effect June 1, 2003). The 2002
code echoes the earlier code in setting forth the following
enforceable standard: "If psychologists' ethical responsibilities
conflict with law, regulations, or other governing legal authority,
psychologists make known their commitment to the Ethics Code and take
steps to resolve the conflict." But the 2002 code created a new
enforceable standard: "If the conflict is unresolvable via such
means,
psychologists may adhere to the requirements of the law, regulations,
or other governing legal authority" (Standard 1.02).
This new enforceable standard, in my opinion, contradicts one of the
essential ethical values voiced in the Nuremberg trials. Even in
light
of the post-9-11 historical context and challenges, I believe we can
never abandon the fundamental ethical value affirmed at Nuremberg.
An attempt to modify Standard 1.02 was placed only in the
nonenforceable section. In the 5 years since creating this new
enforceable ethical standard in a sharp break with the past, APA
chose
to make no qualifications, restrictions, or other modifications to
Standard 1.02 in the code's enforceable section.
The code's 89 enforceable standards identify diverse ethical
responsibilities, some representing the profession's deepest values.
The code recognizes that these ethical values can stand in stark,
irreconcilable conflict (no matter what steps the psychologist takes
to resolve the conflict) with a regulation, a law, or governing legal
authority. APA's creation of an enforceable standard allowing
psychologists to violate these fundamental ethical responsibilities
in
favor of following a regulation, a law, or a governing legal
authority
clashes with its ethical foundation, historic traditions, and basic
values.
Such changes in APA's approach to its enforceable ethical standards
over the past 6+ years embrace issues of enormous complexity and
conflicting values. I've tried during these years to read as widely
and carefully as possible in these diverse areas, comparing secondary
sources to primary sources and evaluating claims in light of
evidence.
On one narrow topic, for example, I've read and maintained an archive
of citations of over 220 published works (including those from APA)
that specifically address the controversy over physicians and
psychologists participating in the planning and implementation of
detainee interrogations. (The archive is at :
<
http://kspope.com/interrogation/index.php>).
Over the decades I've written articles and books examining APA's
earliest discussions about ethical responsibilities and
accountability, the choice to create an ethics code, the innovative
methods used to create a unique code, the revisions and controversies
over the years, and APA members' ethical views, dilemmas, and
behavior. During the code's distinguished history, it has set forth
APA's essential ethics and the standards to which members agree to
hold themselves accountable through the Ethics Committee's formal
enforcement. For me, the two examples above represent defining issues
for APA. Steps that APA has taken or avoided since 9-11 mark a sharp
shift in values and direction.
I respectfully disagree with these changes; I am skeptical that they
will work as intended; and I believe that they may lead to far-
reaching unintended consequences.
These changes take APA so far away from its ethical foundation,
historic traditions, and basic values, and from my own personal and
professional view of our responsibilities, that I cannot support them
with my membership. In light of my respectful disagreement with APA
about these fundamental changes, it is with great sadness and regret
that I resign my membership.
Sincerely,
Ken
Kenneth S. Pope, Ph.D., ABPP
As did SK, PHD, the anonymous author of the Invictis Blog, in his
letter of Resignation to the APA dated January 27, 2008.
http://valtinsblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/why-im-leaving-apa.html
As did Beth Shinn, noted psychologist and author, when she tendered
her resignation to the APA on October 7, 2007
and, so on and so forth...
IMNSHO, IF Philip Zimbardo, the author of The Lucifer Effect,
doesn't jump on the bandwagon of those jumping ship from the APA to
the APS, then, everyone can assume that The Lucifer Effect is
fascist propagandist trash which was authored to protect the interests
and further the agenda of the APA's paymasters in the fascist military
industrial complex.

Linda
