THE TAVISTOCK INSTITUTE FOR HUMAN RELATIONS
Shaping the Moral, Spiritual, Cultural, Political and Economic Decline of the United States.
pg36
It was Benton's pioneering work supported by Douglass Cater, that led to the development of Tavistock's burgeoning control over U.S. media policy through the Aspen Institute of Colorado, the American home of the Socialist One World Government Committee of 300. In passing I mention that the science of mass media control through advertising is today so firmly entrenched that it has become the key component in opinion making.
In the early post WWII days, Hollywood incorporated it into nearly all of its movies. Advertising (brainwashing) was done through the type and make of car the hero drove, the brand of cigarette the suave Lawrence Harvey smoked, the clothes and make up the leading lady wore, clothes that became more risque with each passing year, until today in 2005 we have womanhood degraded by the likes of Britney Spear's almost naked breasts and bare stomach exposed by crotch hugging jeans she often wears, the social mores that Hollywood enjoys so much in flouting.

CHAPTER 8
DEGRADING WOMEN AND DECLINE OF MORAL STANDARDS
The pace of degrading womanhood has quickened at a remarkable degree since hemlines reached the knee. This is manifesting itself in such areas as near pornography in mainstream movies and soap operas and we venture to suggest that the day is not far off, when such scenes will be "total and mandatory." This decline in attractive feminine speech can be traced to Tavistock methodology and its practitioners, Cantril, Likert and Lewin. Another noticeable change was the increase in movies featuring inter-racial dating and sexual encounters coupled with "human rights" claims for lesbians in the most blatantly open form.
Special people were selected and trained for this task, probably the best known of many being Ellen Degeneres who received hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of free publicity under the guise of being interviewed on talk shows and "discussion" groups on the subject of "same-sex love" meaning encounters between two females involving a type of sex practice.
Benton the pioneer in degrading womanhood had as his mentor Social scientist's leading expert in profiling theory at Tavistock, one Harold Lasswell, who together with Benton founded the American Policy Commission in 1940. Lasswell's joint venture with Benton marked the clearest link between Aspen's hidden Socialist One World Government operations in America and the Tavistock Institute. Aspen became the headquarters of the Committee of 300 branches in the United States.
pg38
Hedley Cantril, Likert and Lewin with their humanistic psychology brainwashing applied methodology, played an increasingly vital role in using "opinion research" to bring about paradigm shifts value shifts in society, such as those just described, but on an expanded range and reaching into every level of society that comprised Western civilization as it had been known for centuries. Cantril's home base from where he conducted his war operations against the American people was the Office of Public Opinion Research at Princeton University, founded in 1940, the same year in which Cantril wrote his book entitled, "The Invasion From Mars,"a detailed analysis about how the population of the New York-New Jersey area reacted with fear and panic to Orson Wells "War of the Worlds" broadcast in 1938.
How could they have known that they were part of a profiling venture since it is reasonable to conclude that in 1938 not one in five million had ever heard of Hadley Cantril or the Tavistock Institute. It would be interesting to find out how many Americans have heard of Tavistock now in 2005? Most would remember Orson Wells, but the probabilities are that ninety-nine percent of the population would not attach any significance to the name, Cantril, or have any knowledge of the Tavistock Institute. Let us recount the events of the night of October 30th 1938, because the same techniques have been used by the Bush Administration, the Defense Department and the CIA to shape the public perception of the events that led up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and are still very much in use in 2005.
pg39
In 1938, Orson Wells had created quite a reputation for himself as a master at staging faux news events by making use of the English author, H.G. Wells, a former MI6 operative and his book, The War of the Worlds. In the radio adaptation of the Wells' work, the other Wells, interrupted radio programs in New Jersey with an announcement that Martians had just landed. "The Martian invasion has begun," said Orson Wells. During the 4-hour long production, it was announced no less than four times that what radio audiences were listening to was a fictitious re-enactment of what it would be like if H.G. Wells' story had come to life. But that availed nothing. Panic gripped millions of people who fled from their homes in terror, jamming roads and communication systems.
What was the purpose of the "hoax?" In the first instance it was to gauge just how effective Cantril and Tavistock's methods were in practice, and perhaps of greater importance, it was to set the stage for the coming war in Europe in which "news broadcasts" would play a crucial role in information gathering and dissemination as an established source of reliable information, as well as a forum for directing public opinion. Two days after the "Martian Invasion news broadcast," an editorial in the New York Times headed "Terror by Radio" inadvertently shed light on what Tavistock had in mind for the American people in the coming war now looming closer: "What began as entertainment might readily have ended in disaster," the editorial said. Radio officials had a responsibility and "should think twice before mingling news techniques with fiction so terrifying."
pg40
What the "Times" had inadvertently stumbled onto was the wave of the future seen through the eyes of the theoreticians at Tavistock. Henceforth, "mingling news techniques with fiction so terrifying" that it would be taken as fact, was to be standard practice for the graduates of Tavistock. All news broadcast were to be adaptations of "news and fiction" in a skilful blend so as to make the one unrecognizable from the other. In fact, Tavistock put their newly tested theory into practice a year later when the population of cities in Europe, London, Munich, Paris and Amsterdam were smitten with war jitters even as Neville Chamberlain was successfully avoiding war, using the same techniques that were employed in the October 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcasts.

CHAPTER 9
HOW INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS REACT TO BLENDING FACT WITH FICTION
Cantril's conclusion was that the public reacted exactly as his profiling research experiments had led him to believe it would. That Sunday night October 30, 1938 was to become a landmark date in his files and a date signifying a vast paradigm shift for ever in the way that "news" would henceforth, be presented. Slightly more than seven decades later, the world is still being fed a diet of news mingled with fiction, - fiction that in so many instances is terrifying. The Western world has undergone drastic changes unwillingly forced upon it, that it has become a world so vastly different from what it was on that October night in 1938, as to be "another planet."
We shall return to this vital subject later in this work. Following the Second World War, Cantril became totally involved with the head guru at Tavistock, its founder, John Rawlings Reese and his World Tensions Project at the United Nations' UNESCO. Profiles on how individuals and groups reacted to international tensions were formulated on the basis of skillfully blending fact with terrifying fiction in preparation for a campaign to launch "World citizens," (of a One World Government Socialist-Communist dictatorship) that began to be employed to weaken national boundaries, language and culture and to discredit pride of nation and sovereignty of nation-states, in preparation for the coming of the Socialist New World Order—One World Government, that President Woodrow Wilson said America would make safe for "democracy."
pg42
Those fresh-faced young American boys from Arkansas and North Carolina were sent marching off to Europe believing they were "fighting for their country," never knowing that the "democracy" Wilson sent them to "make safe for the world"
was a Socialist- International Communist One World Government dictatorship. John Rawlings Reese was the publisher of Tavistock's magazine Journal of Humanistic Psychology. Their joint thinking mentality is seen in the 1955 monograph, "Toward a Humanistic Psychology, " an as a progression of Cantril's support for the Tavistock-trained Gordon Airport's perception of the "personality." As he expressed it in the 1947 book, Understanding Man's Social Behavior, in a chapter on "Causality." Cantril's methodology was based on the conception that "the particular environment in which growth takes place gives the particular individual a particular direction for growth."
Cantril's endeavors are good examples of the breakdown of boundaries between supposedly neutral opinion taking and social-engineering opinion making; Tavistock's commitment to forcing major shifts in personality and behavior in all sectors of targeted population groups such as we have sought to describe. Cantril appointed a board of directors to assist in the work, among who were: Warren Bennis, a follower of Tavistock director Eric Trist. Marilyn Ferguson, allegedly the author of The Aquarian Conspiracy; Jean Houston, head of the Institute for Brain Research, member of the Club of Rome and author of Mind Games.
pg43
Aldous Huxley, who supervised the MK-Ultra LSD program that ran for 20 years. Willis Harman, a Stanford University director and mentor of "The Changing Images of Man" later disguised as "The Aquarian Conspiracy" passed off as the work of Marilyn Ferguson. Michael Murphy, head of the Esalen Institute, established by Huxley and others as the Center for "sensitivit training" and drug experiments. James F.T. Bugenthal, an initiator of cult-creation projects at Esalen. Abraham Maslow, the leading exponent of the irrationalist "think force" and founder of AHP in 1957. Carl Rogers, Maslow's co-worker at the AHP in 1957. AHP's reigning ideology was exemplified by a book review in a 1966 issue of its journal, The Journal of Humanistic Psychology. Reviewing Maslow's book, The Psychology of Science, Willis Harman, a year before his 1967-69 Stanford Research study, welcomed the "challenge to science" from "extrasensory perception, psycho kinesis, mysticism, and onsciousness-expanding drugs" (particularly LSD and Mesacalin.) He lauded Maslow's "new science" since it would bring to the fore "hypnosis, creativity, parapsychology, and psychedelic experience," and shift scientific concern away from the "outside" world to studying "inner space." This was Cantril's original "particular personality" thinking brought to its logical conclusion. To Cantril goes the "glory and honor" of forcing a vast paradigm shift on the way the Western world thinks and behaves.

Certainly Oswald Spengler would have had no trouble in identifying it as one of the causes of the downfall of the West he had predicted in 1936.
Making Changes in the "Cognitive and Behavioral Structure.
" Whatever the particular coloration of ideology that accompanied the scientists of the polling institutions after World War II, the invariant notion of social engineering trough "sampling methods" and "opinion research" could be found in Cartwright's paper Some Principles of Mass Persuasion prepared for the Division of Program Surveys of the Department of Agriculture. The paper was subtitled, "Selected Findings of Research on the Sale of United States War Bonds," but as Cartwright makes clear, the war-related aspect of the survey was just a pretext for conducting an analysis on the principles of how perception can be modified to suit whatever ends the controller might have in mind.
pg45
One would be puzzled as to what the sale of war bonds had to do with agriculture, but that was part of Cartwright's methodology. It was the Bernays-Lippmann-Cantril-Cartwright hypothesis synthesized and concentrated in a World War II setting. The article was featured in Tavistock's journal. Human Relations which ought to immediately brought the reader to attention. "Among the many technological advances of the past century that have produced changes in social organization,"
Cartwright began, "the development of the mass media of communication promises to be the most far reaching. This heightened interdependence of people means that the possibilities of mobilizing mass social action have been greatly increased. It is conceivable that one persuasive person could, through the use of mass media, bend the world's population to his will." We do not believe that Cartwright had Jesus Christ in mind when he made that statement.
Page 46
Under a subheading, "Creating a Particular Cognitive Structure,"
Cartwright continues: Principle One: "It is considered a truism by virtually all psychologists that a person's behavior is guided by his perception of the world in which he lives.... It follows from this formulation that one way to change a person's behavior is to modify his cognitive structure. The modification of cognitive structure in individuals by means of the mass media has several prerequisites. These may be stated in the form of principles." Interspersing his account with examples from the application of his study to the World War Two war-bonds sale drive, Cartwright then elaborated the principles: "The 'message' (i.e., information, facts, etc.), must reach the sense organs of the persons who are to be influenced... Total stimulus situations are selected or rejected on the basis of an impression of their general characteristics," etc. A second set of principles investigated more deeply the methods of altering "cognitive structure."
Principle Two: "Having reached the sense organs, 'message' must be accepted as part of the person's cognitive structure."
Cartwright noted in this section that "any effort to change behavior through a modification of this cognitive structure must overcome the forces tending to maintain the present structure. Only when a given cognitive structure seems to the person to be unsatisfactory for his adjustment is he likely readily to receive influences designed to change that structure." Under "Creating a Particular Motivational Structure," Cartwright analyzed further "the social inductions the governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System in Washington into turmoil for a protracted period."

CHAPTER 10
POLLING COMES OF AGE
The Tavistock Clinic in London was where Sigmund Freud had settled when he arrived from Germany, and where his nephew, Edward Bernays later held court. Thus it was that England became the world's center for mass brainwashing, social engineering experimenting that spread to postwar clinics spread all over the United States. During World War II, Tavistock was the headquarters of the British Army's Psychological Warfare Bureau which, through the arrangements of the British Special Operation Executive (SOE) (later known as MI6) dictated policy to the United States Armed Forces in matters of psychological warfare. Toward the end of the war, Tavistock personnel took over the World Federation of Mental Health and the Psychological Warfare Division of the Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) in Europe.

Tavistock's chief theoretician, Dr. Kurt Lewin, came to the United States to organize the Harvard Psychological Clinic, the MIT research Center for Groups Dynamics, the Institute of Social Research at the University of Michigan; while his colleagues, Cartwright and Cantrill joined him to play a pivotal policy role at the psychological department of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the Office of Naval Research ONI), the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey and the Committee of National Morale.
pg48
Moreover, a large number of influential people at top policy levels were trained in Dr. Lewin's theory of topological psychology, which is to this day the worlds most advanced method of behavior modification-brainwashing. Important colleagues of Kurt Lewin at Tavistock, Eric Trist, John Rawlings Reese, H.V. Dicks, W.R. Bion and Richard Crossman plus selected personnel from the Strategic Bombing Survey, the Committee on National Morale and the National Defense Resources Council, joined Lewin at Rand Corporation, the Stanford Research Institute, the Wharton School, the National Training Laboratories and the National Institute of Mental Health.
The United States government began contracting multimillion-dollar projects with all these institutions. Over a period of the forty years, tens of billions of dollars have been allocated by the Federal Government to fund the work of these groups; while additional tens of billions of dollars found their way into these institutions from private foundations. As years passed, these institutions grew and the scope of projects they contracted grew with them. Every aspect of the mental and psychological life of the American people was profiled, recorded and stored into computer memory banks. The institutions, personnel and networks kept on expanding and penetrating deeply into every nook and cranny of Federal, State and Local governments. Their in-house specialists and graduates were called in to develop policies for welfare departments, labor mediation boards, trade unions, the Air Force, the Navy, the Army, the National Education Association and psychiatric clinics, and the White House, the Defense Department and the State Department. It also has extensive contracts with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). (website creators input-thus we have the NSA!)
pg49
Close cooperative relations were developed between these think-tanks and the U.S.A.'s key polling organizations and the major media companies. Gallup Poll, the Yankelovich -CBS-New York Times poll, the National Opinion Research Center and others incessantly conducted psychological profiles of the entire population, sharing the results for evaluation and processing with the ubiquitous social psychologists.
