ALTERED STATE FASH ACTORS: Hypnotherapy, American Legion, Wild Bill Donovan, Pelley, & the Rise of American Fascism (Pt. II)—Comp. Paranoid Analysis of Nazi Occultism
🕑 Added 2023-08-01 22:37:58 +0000 UTCWelcome back to ParaPower Mapping. The description's going to be relatively brief... I've been scraping out my ears w/ passenger seat audio editing & late night hotel recording over the past couple days, so I've been hurrying to get you this crucial second part ASAP, as they were initially intended to be a single piece. Will return to give the full PPM notes treatment.

This is the second installment of a multipart interlude in our Comp. Paranoid Analysis of Nazi Occultism.
We continue w/ our retelling of the metamorphosis of William Dudley Pelley, this time plumbing the depths, combing for possible repressed materials & unconscious memories of hypnotization that may have slipped through the veil of his "Seven Minutes in Eternity". From there, we plummet through the medical machinery that recycled the war neurotic doughboys of WWI into placid-eyed, strikebreaking stormtroopers for the capitalist-enforcing paramilitary founded by the very same industrialists who planned the Wall St. Putsch. Our nosedive through the intersections of the American Legion; their lobbying & fundraising work to bring a slate of brand new psych hospitals for veterans into existence in the post-war years; the influence that wealthy industrialists, military careerists, & figures like Wild Bill Donovan, founding father of the CIA, had on these efforts; and the use of hypnotherapy on shell shocked patients will, ultimately, bring us to the inevitable question of whether the American Legion & military hypnotherapy is a part of the same mind control lineage as Project ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, & MK-ULTRA.
Along the way, we list some of the various, extremely WASPy, capitalist class founding officers of the American Legion... We also get to talk a little Wild Bill Donovan, who was a part of the group of four who initially conceived of the anti-communist (*ahem* fascist *ahem*) veterans paramilitary in direct response to Bolshevism, which once again broaches the question: are the Legion, the Wall St. Putsch, and the AL's approach to military psych treatment the predecessors of MK today?
NOTE: Apologies if the audio is a little wonky in places &/or there are more ambient sounds than usual. You already know about the hotels n traveling—it was a PAIN.
