Hey there, Theta Chi & Masonic Templar MK-ULTRA Dr's class of 1926! Welcome back to campus. It's Hypno Harvard Pledge Week. Time for a mini-dive into the formation of the Harvard Psychology Clinic & the lives of some of the MKULTRA & intel-affiliated doctors who prowled its halls w/ their hypnosuggestive whispers & scraped the brains of "shell shocked" WWI veterans.

We're talking Herr Doctors Estabrooks, Murray, Langer, Beecher, Morton Prince, Orne, Cameron, Milton Erickson, etc. & a veritable sanitarium of hypnotherapists & mad MK scientists who I don't have the time to list this second. We're back in MasSUSchusetts for a minute before we take that transatlantic Hindenburg zeppelin flight (waft? float?) and touch down in Babylon Babelsberg Berlin. A Lowell-Lawrence makes an appearance in this one; as does Alfred North Whitehead. 

We spend half our time w/ Murray: his work in agent profiling for the OSS & British Intelligence; his lover's sexually-fraught mentor-mentee relationship w/ Carl Jung; Murray's work w/ Walter Langer, with whom he'd write the psychoanalytical report on Hitler at Wild Bill Donovan's behest. There's some more Wild Bill in this one—+ good old J. Edgar Hoover! You'll hear the voice of Admiral & CIA Director Stansfield Turner from the MKULTRA hearings briefly, as well as numerous clips from the 1970s TV documentary "Mission Mind Control".

We spend the meat of the EP on George H. Estabrooks: his 1943 text "Hypnotism"; his role in formulating MK & super courier procedures; his Cardinal Mindszenty propaganda; the fact that he & Hitler both suffered gas attacks in Ypres (Belgium), plus his probable hypnosis after said disastrous experience on the Western Front; his 33° wedding in Rome; & his many sus scientific, military, & academic connections. We break it all down, showing how he began consulting w/ the MID, the War Dep't, & the OSS years & years before BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, or MKULTRA came in to being... Perfectly encapsulating my argument that WWI hypnotherapy prefigured modern American mind control. 

Oh yeah, and like basically every frickin' MK Dr. is a Harvard Crimson or passed through there. A shit ton of them came through Estabrooks's Colgate hypnosis symposiums, which we also detail. Oh, & there's a Julian & Aldous Huxley sighting, too.

Songs: 

| The Kinks - "Brainwashed" | 

| Michael Abels - "Hypnosis" (Get Out OST) | 

| Mission of Burma - "Learn How" | 

Clips from the previously mentioned ABC doc "Mission Mind Control", as well as the intro to an interview w/ Dr. Henry Murray

Welcome back to ParaPower Mapping. Here's the teaser for ALTERED STATE FASH ACTORS (Pt. II).

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... Because I've been hurrying to get you this crucial second part ASAP—as they were initially intended to be a single piece—the description's a lil rushed. Rest assured I'll return to give the full PPM liner notes treatment (does anybody read these things, anyways?).

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 repo-baby, capitalist-class-defending 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.

Songs:

| Linda Jones - "Hypnotized" |

| "The American Legion March" |

| Protomartyr - "A Private Understanding" |

Welcome back to ParaPower Mapping. The description's going to be relatively brief (only temporarily, will return to give the full PPM liner notes treatment), as I'm hurriedly uploading this EP while I have WiFi before I have to get back on the road.

This is the first installment of a multipart interlude in our Comp. Paranoid Analysis of Nazi Occultism—Pt. II is close behind.

Along the way we'll dig into the ether addiction epidemic in Poland and automatic writing's influence on culture & William Dudley Pelley's transmutation.

NOTE: Apologies if the audio is a little wonky in places &/or there are more ambient sounds than usual. Recorded these two EPs in hotel conference & bedrooms, and it was a PAIN, lemme tell ya.

We're talking Bill Pelley—literal Nazi agent, Christian Theosophical crank, spiritualist, newspaperman, espionage agent, screenwriter, reborn clairvoyant, founder of a UFO cult, Soulcrafter, publisher of shitty antisemitic magazines, & founder of an American Nazi paramilitary known as the Silver Legion.

But first, we parse the failed Wall St. Putsch (aka Bizness Plot), setting the stage for our investigation of Pelley, as various industrialist backers of the scheme, conspirators, & the legislative body that uncovered it (maybe involuntarily) figure into W.D.P's story. We're talking McCormack-Dickstein Committee, predecessor to HUAC; Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, Alfred P. Sloan, I. DuPont, JP Morgan Jr., Prescott Bush, Felix & Max Warburg, Grayson Murphy, Gerald Macguire, & a # of references to Henry Ford in this one.

We discuss: 

Marine Corps Gen. Butler & the Bonus Army; possibility the American Legion was funded w/ coups in mind; FDR cucked by Wall St.; the Putsch's origins in Executive Order 6102; Biz Plot taking inspiration from German putsches; John L. Spivak's exposé in "New Masses"—gotta give it to Spivak for his farsighted analysis of the capitalist underpinnings of rising fascism in Germany & US; coup organizer Gerry MacGuire's sus death at 36 yrs old a mere year or 2 after the plan unraveled; the Co. that had Murphy as board member; Robert Sterling Clark serving under Butler = potential complicity; Butler's undercover escapade in Standard Oil-backed int'l espionage; Butler, Clark, & Murphy's shared military campaigns (China, Boxer Rebellion, & Philippine-American War specifically); speculation about whether—contrary to the conscientious antiwar activist portrayals—Smedley was infiltrating antiwar & left mvmts in US; Butler's military career lasting exactly 33 years (👀); Delta Upsilon bro & GM head Sloan (a conspirator) purchasing German auto co. Opel for $33.3 million (👀);...

The Pelley fam's "knightly" roots in Southampton; their relative prosperity in Newfoundland; Pelley's misrepresentation of his youth as "hardscrabble"—they were petit bourgeois & upwardly mobile by Pelley's teen years; Pelley as elementary school newspaper mogul; Pelley's journalism & Hollywood career; Pelley drafted by the Methodist Centenary mvmt circa WWI to scout missions in Japan; cover for espionage work?; Pelley's early antisemitism & sus convo w/ an Army Surgeon in Japan that prefigured his Nazi turn, rhyming w/ his later NDE vision of "duck-suited" Army Dr's—the source of his racist mystic doctrine; Pelley writing anti-Bolshevik propaganda reports for the YMCA; the US consulate in Siberia enlisting his help in smuggling $750k & two Int'l Harvester workers from Siberia to Manchuria; his presence at the ceremony where Admiral Kolchak was given leadership of the White Russian Army; the eyebrow-raising possibility Pelley knew Grayson Murphy via the American Red Cross; Pelley's nurse fetish; American Legion - Silver Legion?!; Pelley working Russian jewel smuggling into his movies; another Pelley-Murphy connection; Pelley's ad agency in Hollywood & real estate investments; & finally, Pelley's incredibly sus NDE in a Cali bungalow; the dangers of self-hypnotization...

Welcome back to ParaPower Mapping. We cont. our comp. paranoid analysis of the history of Nazi occultism today by examining a fairly-forgotten figure in contemporary America: William Dudley Pelley—literal Nazi agent, Christian Theosophical crank, spiritualist, newspaperman, int'l espionage agent, screenwriter, reborn clairvoyant, founder of a UFO cult, Soulcrafter, publisher of shitty antisemitic magazines, & founder of the American Nazi paramilitary known as the Silver Legion.

Welcome back to ParaPower Mapping. We embark on a brand new series today—likely our lengthiest yet. A comparative paranoid analysis of the history of Nazi occultism, beginning w/ an investigation into Helena Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, the Theosophical Society, their racist doctrine, & some truly sus & eye-opening connections.

Subscribe to the Boston Brahmin Watch Premium Feed on Patreon: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping

In this EP, we discuss:

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Ukrainian & Baltic German Noblewoman; her aristocratic heritage, including the von Hahn, Rottenstern, & Dolgorukov families; we play 6°s of Separation w/ Blavatsky & Pynchon, in part because Pynchon mentions Blavatsky & Theosophy in Against the Day & also bc it's fun; we talk Vladimir Nabokov & his nobleman father V. D. Nabokov; the Kadets, his Constitutional Democratic Party in pre-revolutionary Russia; the fact he was a deputy in the First Duma w/ Sergei Witte, cousin of Blavatsky & first PM of Russia; the possibility V.D. Nabokov was part of the delegation sent to negotiate the cease fire to end the Russo-Japanese War in Portsmouth, NH; we talk the assassination attempts on the both of them; V.D. Nabokov's likely "western democracy" backers & his émigré newspaper "Rul" in Berlin; bacterial meningitis; the fact that V.D. Nabokov's killers were later connected to the NSDAP via Alfred Rosenberg & Dietrich Eckhart; we talk Prince Dolgorukov's esoteric library, Rosicrucianism, & membership in the Masonic Rite of Strict Observance; we talk early visions of Ascended Masters; we talk a few different influences on Blavatsky, including Swedenborg, Franz Anton Mesmer, Thomas Lake Harris, & Edward Bulwer-Lytton; we explore the instructive & mind-boggling story of Henry Steel Olcott; the fact he was on the level; his early work as an agriculture journalist & correspondent for the NY Tribune prior to the Civil War, where he worked w/ Assistant Sec. of War Charles A. Dana; Olcott's service before contracting dysentery; his ascent into the War Department Secret Service Bureau, where he was made Special Commissioner & tasked w/ investigating wartime fraud by military suppliers; his close relationship w/ Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; the fact that he volunteered himself via a telegram to Stanton directly, offering to help lead up the "investigation" into Lincoln's assassination two days after it went down in Ford's Theater; I'm not going to divulge everything here, you just have to listen to the EP, but he played a major role in some very sus c*v*r-up shit; the curious fact that he survived the war, when many people involved in the "investigation", like his higher-up Col. Lafayette Baker—Lincoln's spy chief—did not; his law career following the War; his spiritualist meet cute w/ Blavatsky in Chittenden, VT; the likelihood she had him made as a mark, tho Olcott didn't care; spiritualist seance routines; "apports"; Daniel Douglas Home, spiritualist to the stars & royalty; a breakdown of the Blavatsky & the Theosophical Society's racist doctrine, eugenicist beliefs, & "Root Races", setting the stage to explore its influence on various German ethnonationalist occult orders that led to the formation of the NSDAP & Himmler's SS; American influence on Nazi eugenicist beliefs; the quasi-downfall of Blavatsky; accusations that Blavatsky was in the "employ" of Russian Imperial Tsarist secret police; decent chance that Olcott served a similar purpose; their support of Indian Nationalism, which brought 'em into beef w/ the Raj, British, & Christian College; Emma Coulomb's blackmail of Theosophical Society re: her assistance in helping Blavatsky create "phenomena"; Society for Psychical Research's investigation into Blavatsky; etc.
