Psychology and the Shrinking of America

When I first snapped out of my leftist bubble three years ago, I was shocked to find out how many professions had been infiltrated by the far left. The mainstream media, Hollywood moguls, and the universities were willing tools of progressivism.

But there is an occupation just as culpable in ushering in cultural Marxism, though its contributions are far less well-known. For this profession, I don't have to look further than my own backyard -- that is, psychotherapy.

What I have discovered after researching the history of psychology is that the originators were not simply interested in fixing people. Many were hard-bent on revolutionizing the West.

In this article, I will shed some light on the intricate web linking together a cast of unsavory characters from Europe to the U.S. The result of their efforts has been nothing less than the undermining and corruption of this nation.

The motivation of some of the players has been to replace Judeo-Christian values with secular humanism. Others unleashed the sexual revolution to feed their own prurience. And the more nefarious characters were intent on force-feeding cultural Marxism to an unknowing public.

Let's begin with Sigmund Freud's development of the "talking cure," psychoanalysis, in the early 20th century. Freud attempted to heal his patients, many of whom were depressed and anxious. However, he had a hidden agenda as well.

Freud's theories reflected his personal worldview, which was fiercely secular in nature. An atheist, he rejected religion of all kinds, including the Judaism of his forefathers. Freud labeled religious believers as infantile and delusional [i].

My biased is that the profession became complicit in spreading the anti-Judeo Christian ethic that provided for protection of life at all stages.

One book, “Life Unworthy of Life”, which Hitler referenced, the authors Psychiatrist Alfred Hoche and Attorney Karl Binding urged that the medical profession “not only should provide health giving, but in death making as well”. They urged: “that the retarded, deformed, terminally ill and those severly damaged by illness or accident should be put to death.”

The authors perceptive dangers of the Progressive mindset actually is quite inspiring.
I believe her patients will be well served by her enlightenment.

Agree - but I don't think our fears/threats are coming from Russia any longer - but from the seeds that were planted here in the last 6 decades - our enemies now are home grown communists.

It's beginning to look, to me, like it might be a good time to learn Russian - it might be a freer country than ours will be soon. At least Russia has a REAL MAN at the helm.

I became acquainted with some Russians who visited here in my little state back just before Glasnost. I wish I had kept in touch with them - they felt like cousins. I wonder if there's a ‘pen pal’ link to Russians.

I have long felt an affinity with the Russian people - and prayed they would escape the yoke of communism. When you study genealogy, you find that we of English origin are more of the same stock with the Russian people than than other European countries.

(The group that came over here for a visit in the early 80’s were 6 people - 3 were regular Russians while 3 were obviously their KGB watchdogs. I had a couple of fun adventures where I ‘escaped’ with the ‘free’ group, taking them shopping/sight seeing. WE had a blast - and they got Levi's and white jeans - and then costume jewelry at the county fair ;o) - where they also met a friend of mine who had just become governor. The barely disguised panic and fury on the watchdogs faces when we returned was priceless.
