Organizing The Revolution
Deeds white and black, for minds are clean or foul.
Is the mind clean? Then earth and sky are clean.
Is the mind foul? Then earth and sky are foul.
For it is upon the mind that all depends.
Tibetan Proverb
I quote Christopher Hale, Himmler’s Crusade
Hale quotes Charles Bell, who quotes…
This essay is an investigation of cultures and cultural beliefs especially as they apply to the United States. The above Tibetan proverb as can readily be seen is pre-scientific. It takes no account of the objective world but supposes only that world is a projection of the mind good or bad as the mind is clean or foul.
It tacitly states that all religions are products of the mind or minds that conceived them. As projections they comment on the cleanness or foulness of the projectors.
As my own ideas of psychology are passes through a Freudian lens my argument is based on the scientific aspects Freud assembled while rejecting his religious projection. It should be clear to any thinking person that no religion has been transmitted to man from any god. Such a notion is inconceivable as is the very notion of God which to the Western mind means the Yahweh of the Old Testament. God therefore is the projection of the mind on nature. This concept is clearly brought out in Johann Sebastian Bach’s musical piece; Jehu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring. Man desires redemption in the form of Jesus but the divine Jesus is only a projection of Man’s desiring.
The nature of the fantasy is that God has chosen a certain people to be the bearers and disseminators of his word to all the peoples of the world. The originators of this notion were the Jews who believed and believe themselves to be the elected Ones. After the death of Jesus the English believe that the scepter of empire was passed to them while Anglians in the United States forming the Liberal religion believe the scepter has passed to them as in the adage: Westward the course of Empire.

As the notion is based only on desire or wishful thinking its believers were doomed to be disappointed. Thus a defense mechanism must be projected on top of the projection of a chosen people. One then invents the notion of a redeemer- the Messiah, the Mahdi, the Christ. In Christan theology there can be only one Messiah, the Christ, whose mission on Earth was aborted by the crucifixion. Christians await the RETURN of the Christ in a supernatural manner.
For Jews and Moslems the messiah can be any human who so proclaims himself. David Bakan thinks that Freud was the Messiah for instance. Both religions have a surfeit of messiahs all naturally having failed to produce the desired results.
The history of the Jews since their defeat and scattering by the Romans in 70AD has been a succession of failed messiahs. Failure has not daunted this belief but the Jews have changed tactics and strategies. The last Jewish messiah to step forth and be recognized as such, unless like Bakan you include Freud, was the seventeenth century Sabbatai Zevi. (Spelled several different ways so don’t take me to task for my spelling.)
It is significant that a seventeenth century claimant was the last because the European Enlightenment blossomed at nearly the same time. The Enlightenment means Science. Science points out the absurdity of religious projections. Thus all religions have been shown to be based on false premises.
The meaning in terms of Human Consciousness was the consciousness of the mind had now evolved beyond a predecessor Religious Consciousness. Merely because a better method has been found doesn’t mean everyone will embrace it. There are many people and institutions who have a vested interest in the old way and don’t mean to give it up. Moreover they don’t mean for the advance in consciousness to exist.
For our purposes here we are discussing Christianity and Judaism: The West and Judaism. There had been many changes before in the evolution of religious beliefs, most notably the transition from Matriarchy to Patriarchy and they had all involved long and bloody wars. The transition from Religion to Science can be no different. If you haven’t noticed, the reactionary Semitic religions have instigated increasing wars and bloodshed from 1914 to the present Second Irruption From The Desert of the stultified reactionary Moslems.
Vis-a-vis the Roman Catholics and the Protestants the Jews had always been able to hold their own on a theological basis. After all, their religion is the basis of Christianity. The Jews had no chance against Science which acknowledges none of their claims.
The Jews would therefore have to devise new tactics and strategies to defend their atavistic belief system. There was no religious argument they or any other religion could devise to defeat this intelligence; their only alternative was to corrupt it and destroy it from within, thus supplanting Science in the minds of men with their stultifying religion once again. Difficult perhaps, but possible given a shameless exploitation of the good will of Euroamericans.
Now, when the failure of Sabbatai Zevi occurred and the Scientific spirit arose against which religious argument was ineffective, the wisemen of Judaism put thier heads together to devise a strategy. They decided to never again acknowledge a human messiah but to place their hopes in their whole people in the form of a revolution based on the French Revolution.
page 2.
From the French Revolution the modern form of Communism emerged. The Jacobins of Robespierre were proto-Communists. The banner was picked up by a man named Babeuf and the Communist assault on society led through the revolutions of 1830 and 1848. The French Revolution took place at the beginning of the so-called Industrial Revolution so that all the miseries inherent in the transition from one system to another were visited on ‘Labor.’ Labor was subsumed into the Communist agenda. Early socialism was divided between the Utopian Socialists and the Communists. The cleavage was permanent as Socialists and Communists despised each other’s methods.
Now, the Jews were emancipated by the generous feelings of the Revolutionaries. Up to this point the Roman Catholic Church had more or less contained Judaism. That is they isolated the Jews from the body politic much as a computer virus is isolated by a security system. A psychological allegory of this was put into a short story by Charles Beaumont in 1959. The short story was entitled, The Howling Man. In the story monks had imprisoned the Devil. A chance traveler was admitted to the monastery but advised to pay no attention to a captive man, the Devil in disguise, who howled for release. Naturally the traveler listened to the well sounding pleas of the howling man releasing him. Thus evil was set loose on the world.
This is somewhat the situation between the Church, the Revolutionaries and the Jews. Negating the efforts of the Church the released Jews began to subvert society and science. When one says Science in regard to the post-Revolution one is saying actually Science in embryo. Every science and scientific thinking were in the beginning stages of development. Early theories, absurd by today’s understanding, cannot be judged by today’s knowledge. They were the beginning steps. Like everything else Science would evolve. As it had with the Jews, the Revolution released Science from the control of the Church allowing it to develop, but positively, not negatively.
The Jews realized the threat to their religious mental projection understanding that Science was the true danger that had to be subverted. Unlike Catholicism and Protestantism which were based in Judaism and could therefore be defeated in argument there was no religious argument effective against Science. A different approach would have to be taken. That approach was to appropriate a science with mumbo jumbo then slowly eviscerate the science of its content while supposedly making it moral or in other words subservient to Jewish religious beliefs. This required both bold assertions while suppressing discussion or channeling it so that it could be controlled.
The first attempt and the most developed ‘science’ was politics. Thus Karl Marx began to appropriate the Communist Movement giving it a definite shape and direction. Seizing on the discontent of Labor Marx made that the cornerstone of ‘Scientific’ Socialism. Thus from 1789 to 1913 Communism struggled against the established order with minimal result. A mere one hundred twenty-five years after 1789 Communism established itself in Russia while being on a parity with the establishment in Western Europe.
The other Sciences progressed accordingly. Biology assumed its modern form in 1859 when Darwin published his Origin Of Species. Biology remained one science for which no Jewish claimant arose. The study of the mind or psychology was a different story. The study of psychology in a mythopoeic manner goes back as far as can be traced and further. The ancient Egyptians already had a good working model of the mind.
The scientific study, groping as it were, was undertaken by numerous people in the early nineteenth century. There was no organized theory, just investigation in numerous areas. The most noteworthy investigator for our purposes here was Jean Martin Charcot and his investigations into hysteria at the Salpetriere in Paris.
It appears that the basis of psychological malfunctioning is caused by a variety of hypnosis. That is a suggestion is made in a hypnoid state which enters the subconscious as post-hypnotic suggestion directing the individual against his conscious will, as it were.
The modern recognition of hypnosis was made by the Austrian Anton Mesmer who called it ‘animal magnetism.’ After Mesmer hypnotism was in disrepute for about fifty years although subject to serious investigation by responsible scholars.
page 3.
Charcot made hypnotism scientifically respectable again when he discovered its use in dealing with his hysterics. At the same time a man named Auguste Liebeault working with hypnotism in nearby Nancy was discovering the effect of suggestion.
In Vienna a restless Sigmund Freud was casting about for an emerging discipline to appropriate to make his mark. He had been trained as a biologist but despaired of making his name in that discipline. Under the influence of his fellow religionist, Joseph Breuer, he drifted over into psychology.
Freud was of the Jewish culture and he was militantly Jewish. He hated Europeans and the European culture. There is no question but that he intended to replace it with the Jewish culture. At what point he decided to manipulate the emerging science isn’t clear but probably by the time he began attending B’nai B’rith meetings in 1895.
Freud had a Moses Complex, not too dissimilar in effect than Christians with a Jesus complex. He undoubtedly chose psychology as a wide open field with many areas of exciting research possibilities and the opportunity to gratify his Moses Complex by leading his followers out of the psychological wilderness he found Europe to be. Thus as Moses rescued the Jews from Egypt Freud would rescue them from Europe.
Vienna as part of the polyglot Austrian Empire was the original Melting Pot from which Israel Zangwill took his idea. A relatively small German minority governed a multi-cultural empire embracing dozens of cultures and numerous religions. Thus the model for Freud’s conquest by culture was already suggested to him by the rising influence of Jewish culture within the Austrian Empire especially polyglot Vienna.
Having begun his association with Breuer and having heard of Charcot, Freud left for Paris in 1882 to visit what he derogatively would call the Great Man, himself. While Freud resented the ‘Master’ it would seem that Charcot’s influence on his own approach was seminal. There would have been no Freud without Charcot.
During this period of his life Freud was impoverished. He could only wander around Paris without the means to sample the delights of the city. This embittered him. Freud would have us believe that he became a favorite of Charcot, even petted by him. In all likelihood this is a gross exaggeration. Although Charcot may have taken some notice of him it would be characteristic of the Jewish culture to exploit any relationship out of its true proportion. In reading Freud his observations of Charcot are always made from the outside as a seeming voyeur, never as an intimate.
It is clear from the sardonic, belittling tone in which Freud always refers to Charcot that he was profoundly indebted to him. It must have been humiliating to a man with a psychotic attachment to Moses to submit to a man he considered his lesser. In dealing with hysterics Charcot brought hypnosis into respectability. Freud’s understanding of hypnosis was subtle. In Freud’s own psychoanalytic theory he abandoned hypnosis per se choosing a variant he called free association in which the patient was lulled into a hypnoid state so that a form of hypnosis remained the basis of psychoanalysis. Nor did Freud’s researches into hypnosis stop there. After the Great War hypnosis would form the basis of his ideas of Group Psychology. He developed subtler forms of hypnosis.
After returning to Vienna he once again went back to France in 1889 to visit with Liebeault and his disciple or leech, Hippolyte Bernheim. Liebeault had been working with hypnosis for some time. While Charcot failed to understand the signficance of suggestion, the key element of hypnosis, Liebeault did. His researches attracted the attention of Bernheim who like Freud was a Jew on the make. Bernheim succeeded in displacing Liebeault much in the same way as Freud would displace Charcot and his school.
While Liebeault and Bernheim apparently did not understand the relationship of suggestion to the creation of the neurosis or psychosis they had actually discovered that hysteria was caused by a form of suggestion. Ignoring the original suggestion while the patient was hypnotized they tried to use counter-suggestion to remove the affects of the original suggestion or fixation but with limited or temporary success. Since the original suggestion or fixation wasn’t obviated it shortly reestablished its primacy over the counter-suggestion.
While Freud said he rejected the clumsy ineffectiveness of the counter-suggestion he understood suggestion well enough to make it the cornerstone of his version of Group or cultural psychology.,
There is a common misconception that Freud invented psychology, that before him there was no psychology. The notion is completely untrue. Before and after Charcot psychological research was diverse and plentiful throughout Europe and America. There were many theories of the subconscious, for instance, but no one had undeertaken to systematize the various strands. Freud was able to do this while at the same time supplanting all other theories with his own. He actually succeeded in closing off investigation along other lines channeling psychology into his own somewhat flawed system.
All Freud did was to cull the best opinion and put his name on it while shouldering the originators aside as ‘anti-Semites’. For instance, another student of Charcot, Pierre Janet, working from the same teaching came to the same conclusion, namely that ‘neuroses’ are fixed in the subconscious. Whereas Freud named his version of the process ‘repression’ Janet named the result as an ‘idee fixe.’ Both terms mean approximately the same thing, although in my opinion Janet’s is more accurate. My own term is ‘an encysted fixation’. I came to my term independently, or at least I think I did, this is Freudianism you know, but the term I use means, I think, what Janet’s idee fixe means. Freud’s term ‘repression’ may describe the process but doesn’t deal with the result.
As I see it repression implies a voluntary act of will but such is not the case, repression is involuntary functioning independently of the conscious will. This is where Freud’s theory of sex goes wrong. The ‘repression’ is part of a defense mechanism. When the ego or Animus is offered an insult for which it has no defence the response is to repress the insult into an encysted fixation or idee fixe in an effort to control it. In other words, the mind tries to pretend that the insult didn’t occur. As the sexual apparatus is the physical portion of the psychic Animus the expression of the fixation will ivariably be a sexual affect although of differing manifestations from masochism to sadism. Thus the insult is converted into a suggestion of inadequacy of some form.
Thus the use of the sexual apparatus is merely an attempt to massage or exorcise the fixation. Freud actually believed that frequency of ejaculation would make a healthier person or in other words sexual intercourse would cure the ‘neurosis’ or in my and possibly Janet’s term eliminate the fixation. Clearly an impossible method.
One may compare the fixation to a virus on your computer. Once the virus is introduced it must be isolated and removed or it will control or shut down the computer. The virus may be equated with the suggestion that resulted in the fixation. One must eliminate the suggestion or fixation from mind as with the virus from your computer’s memory.
This is where the ‘talking cure’ is effective. Once the fixation is identified if the afflicted person can make the fixation conscious it will disappear or in another word be exorcised. If Freud realized this, which he ought to have, he never published his knowledge.
His use of the unconscious indicates that he at least understood the negative effects of fixations as expressed through their affects or in his terms neuroses and psychoses.
So Freud defamed Janet while organizing psychoanalysis to exclude any opinion but his own no matter how inaccurate. He organized and controlled the magazines and publishing houses, while he controlled and convened the international congresses. Following the Jewish Cultural model, no dissent was allowed, there is no freedom of expression in the Jewish Culture; if you refuse discipline you are merely excommunicated. Once expelled you are defamed and rendered inconsequential. Marginalized in today’s terms. The only analyst to survive this treatment was C.G. Jung who had an awful lot going for him. I can’t think of another dissident who has survived to the present.
page 5.
Thus having evolved an understanding of emasculation to add to the mix this was how Freud’s psychological matters stood in 1915 when his idea of psychoanalysis was essentially complete. He now applied his psychological knowledge to political matters. At this point whatever scientific basis Freud possessed was subsumed to Jewish religious requirements.
Historically the Jews have been a migratory people. When the going get tough the Jews get moving. Wherever the action is that’s where they want to be. Thus when the Promised Land of America became accessible to mass migration, that is reliable steamships had replaced unreliable sail, the People began a mass migration to America. The intent was to move the entire Eastern European population to America. The plan failed only because of the outbreak of the Great War for which signficant scholarship can show the Jewish guiding hand. So, in one way the Jews defeated their own plan.
The important thing to remember is that Jewish activities are backed by an inviolable ideology, tight orgzanization and fairly precise coordination and excecution. There is nothing haphazard in the culture’s activities. This has been true for two millennia with increasing precision. As noted when the messiahship of Sabattai Zevi failed, the plan was formed for the whole people to foment a revolution. The date of the revolution was set for 1913 to 1928. Hence if you study Jewish history you can see the preparations unfold leading to this historical knot.
Since Marx the culture had been in control of the Labor movement of the Socialists so that a significant portion of the whole population was involved not just the minority culture. The more timid or moderate such as the Wilsonites and other ‘parlor pinks’, fellow travelers and whatnot, Liberals, were distributed throughout society where they could exercise control without revealing themselves in their true guise.
While I had sifted the information out except for the dates of the messiahship of the culture all I really had to do was read one book. That book was by the Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver who plainly stated the plan and its objectives giving the years.
This revolutionary schedule could not have been unknown to Freud. Thus his schedule from 1895 on must have been coordinated with it as best he could and that best was very good indeed. By 1910 he had his theories in close to final form. From 1915 on, especially after 1917 he was no longer developing his ideas but organizing them for use by the Revolution.
For years he had been attending weekly meeting of B’nai B’rith, the international Jewish brotherhood. He lectured them on psychology on a regular basis. It would be interesting to know how the lectures differed from his published work.
Now for a moment let us consider some aspects of Freudian doctrine. Freud insisted that the was a scientist but the grounds for such a claim seem tenuous at best, rather Freud was a religionist who used what he learned for the furtherance of the Jewish Revolution. Thus his concepts of the unconscious and sex were tailored to upset the morality of European civilization. His promulgated notions were meant to confuse and obfuscate. When one combines Freud’s interpretation of the unconscious, sex and emasculation, all of which were worked out by 1915, one has in fact a potent weapon of psychological warfare. They called it brainwashing during the Korean War. Combined with conditioning and indoctrination trusting Euroamericans who did consider Freud a disinterested scientist abandoned all defenses.
The really noteworthy fact about Freud is that he offered only negative analyses but nothing positive such as how to reconcile the unconscious and conscious minds or how to understand and improve the conscious mind. Freud discussed the nature of projection and perception very little. The nature of the ‘science’ Freud professed to embrace is the negation of perception and projection without which there can be no science. At least he chose not to address consciousness in any positive manner.
page 6
He did issue the enigmatic statement that where Id was Ego shall be. He also said that the Id was a species of something around which the Ego ensheated itself. That’s a tough one. As Ego is presentative of consciousness and Id unconsciousness it sounds as though Freud was referring to the integration of the personality. He doesn’t explain how he invented or discovered the nature of the relationship of Ego and Id or give any indication of how it actually worked. He never develops the idea.
We feel that he perhaps knew more than he chose to reveal through his analysis of Wilhelm Jensen’s novelette Gradiva that he titled Delusion and Dream In Wilhelm Jensen’s Gradiva. By delusion I presume he means projection. That is what Jensen’s character is doing; he is imposing his inner projection on society which makes actions appear irreal. It is only as the story develops that the character’s projection dissolves as reality intrudes itself more and more. At the end of this short piece the character emerges into a true or truer perception of the world. He no longer casts his projection on reality.
Thus what Freud denotes delusion I would call projection. Ridding onself of a mistaken perception of reality to realize as nearly as possible the actual state of affairs is the goal of mental health.
While what Freud has to say about the unconscious is itself a religious projection it does bear some relationship to the reality. Since Freud wished to and did impose a psychological system on the science of psychology it behooved him to deal with the whole mind and not just half. The question is whether he was dishonest or incapable; I opt for dishonest and criminal.
Freud is as guilty of criminal misconduct as the Sudanese Mahdi at Omdurman who offered his followers the religious projection that the bullets of the massed British machine guns facing them would turn to water at Allah’s will. If the Mahdi had so little scientific knowledge and so much religious fervor then there was no difference between his religion and insanity. The Mahdi at least had the excuse that he was far from the centers of scientific research. Freud didn’t.
By the advent of the Russian Revolution then, through his association with B’nai B’rith Freud had prepared the Jewish cadres for some particularly dirty work.
As the Russian Revolution marked the first great success of the Jewish Revolution Freud now began to manipulate his scientific knowledge of hypnotism and psychology to confuse and obfuscate the minds of the Euroamerican cultures while keeping his culture’s mind focused on the work ahead.
Everything was in order; the tools were developed. Freud had cleverly monopolized the study of the mind if not psychology. Further study would be conducted on his terms. It was only necessary now to skillfully use the tools he developed.

Freud And His Unconscious
Redefining A Fallible Idea
by
R.E. Prindle
Sometime after I wrote the first part of Something Of Value (see erbzine.com) I read David Bakan’s Freud And The Jewish Mystical Tradition. Bakan’s book confirmed my findings while developing Freud’s relationship to his culture’s mystical tradition based on Bakan’s understanding of the Zohar and the Jewish Kabbalah that I haven’t read or studied, nor do I intend to unless I exhaust other pursuits which doesn’t seem likely. You never know though.
However a point to consider is how Jewish is the Jewish mystical tradition, that is, what are its roots? Are they rooted in Judaism or elsewhere? Bakan seems to believe that the Jewish Kabbalah is derived entirely from Jewish sources independent of the general milieu. I don’t believe this to be true. The Jewish mystical tradition like all others is based on the very ancient Egyptian. Bakan believes that the Kabbalah arose in the first century AD. This is probably true.
The Hermetic tradition which is equivalent to a European Kabbalah took form as such in Alexandria during the Ptolemaic period when Greek and Egyptian ideas interreacted. Hermiticism evolved from much earlier doctrines centered around the Egyptian god Thoth. The Zohar and Kabbalah then is Hermetic material adapted for Jewish needs. The whole can be traced back to Alexandria.
The Zohar, or primary mystical book, which is attributed to the first and second century Rabbi, Simeon Ben Yohai, was rewritten, edited and whatever in twelfth century Spain by Moses de Leon reaching the Middle East after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in the sixteenth century. Its influence then was transmitted to the seventeenth century messiah, Sabbatai Zevi.
According to Mr. Bakan Freud was familiar with the Zohar and Kabbalah. I couldn’t go so far as to claim so myself but Mr. Bakan can quote chapter and verse. While Freud claimed to be scientific Mr. Bakan relates almost all of Freud’s psychology to the Kabbalah showing Freud’s dependence on Sabbatianism and Frankism as I indicated in Something Of Value Part I.
page 1
Thus while seeming to be working from a scientific point of view Freud is actually blending a bit of scientific approach acquired from European sources, as there is no science in Jewish culture, with his Jewish religious material to subvert the European moral order. While Freud himself was at war with European civilization the international Jewish organizations extended his field of operations to the United States and Canada. Thus while Freud speaks specifically of Europe he can be taken to mean Euroamerica.
2.
A further background for his psychology, Freud’s central childhood fixation, appears to be the incident in which a European knocked his father’s hat into the gutter which his father meekly, or wisely, depending on your point of view, accepted without a demur. Because of this story Freud wished to avenge himself on Europeans.
Probably at this point Freud assumed the Moses complex that stayed with him to the end of his life. He, Freud, would lead his people to triumph over the Europeans as Moses had led the People out of Egypt while Pharaoh and his army were drowned in the Red Sea.
However, oddly enough, as he claimed to be wholly Jewish, Freud was conflicted in his attitude toward Europeans. As a child he had a Roman Catholic nurse who introduced him to Christianity by taking him to church. Most probably she also tried to wean him from Judaism. This experience had a great effect on young Freud. In the following anecdote, as with most fixations, he seemed to have lost the exact memory of the situation. From Bakan:
Quote:
…that my ‘primary originator’ [of neuroses] was an ugly, elderly, but clever woman who told me a great deal about God and hell, and gave me a high opinion of my own capacities.
On October 15, 1897, he quotes his mother about the old nurse who took care of him when he was very young.
“Of course,” she said “an elderly woman, very shrewd indeed. She was always taking you to church. When you came home you used to preach, and tell us about how God conducted his affairs.
Unquote.
His memory had become confused while it does not appear that he ever exorcised his fixation, for fixation this is. He apparently loved this nurse at the time rather than hated her. When she was later accused and convicted of stealing from the Freuds being dishonored and actually sent to jail, Freud was heartbroken while changing his opinion of her. But, he had had contact with Christian Europeans which left a lasting impression on him that he could not consciously recognize or acknowledge. If I am correct, this impression resurfaced when he came into contact with C.G. Jung who he adopted as a surrogate for this nurse transferring his love and hatred for her to Jung.
page 2.
Just as he loved this nurse there were apparently strong homosexual overtones in his relationship toward Jung. As Freud would have known, the compulsion toward repitition would have been a component in his relationship with Jung as with his nurse although he apparently did not recognize this. So much for his self-analysis. He found reasons to break off with Jung or drive him away while bitterly claiming to be betrayed by Jung just as his nurse had been accused and convicted of theft thus betraying the child Freud. Thus once again his contact with a Christian European was brief ending in sorrow for himself.
A third situation occurred late in life when he wrote Moses And Monotheism. Rather startlingly he claimed that Moses was not Jewish but was an ethnic Egyptian. This means Freud, who had a Mosaic fixation, split his personality between his Christian longings and his professed Jewish identity. Another result would be that monotheism was not a Jewish invention but actually a goyish invention so that all the evil arising from monotheism was not the fault of the Jews but the goys. They had no one to blame but themselves. Thus Freud’s notion of Moses may have been a sort of dream reversal of the facts.
Whatever the results of Freud’s self-analysis back before the turn of the century it is quite clear that he was unable to resolve his fixations nor, one believes, was he aware of their influence on him. He never integrated his personality remaining under the influence of his subconscious fixations. No wonder he ignored the conscious mind.
3.
Like most people Freud had to find his way from adolescence to adulthood and his true ambitions by a circuitous route.
This editor’s note to 1927’s The Future Of An Illusion says this:
Quote:
In the ‘Postscript’ which Freud added in 1935 to his Autobiographical Study he remarked that a ‘significant change’ had come about in his writings during the previous decade. “My interest,” he explained, “after making a long detour through the natural sciences, medicine, and psychotherapy, returned to the cultural problems which fascinated me long before, when I was a youth scarcely old enough for thinking.
Unquote.
page 3.
He undoubtedly refers to his experiences in church with his Christian nurse contrasted with the ‘Christian’ who knocked his father’s hat into the gutter. As Freud is very duplicitous in his use of language one should try to be very sensitive to the meanings behind the obvious meanings of his words. Thus I believe his use of the term ‘cultural problems’ can usually be understood as his inner conflict between his Christianity and Judaism.
As Bakan points out, that while Freud rejected Rabbinical religious Judaism he was deeply immersed in the Jewish mystical tradition of the Zohar and Kabbalah. Thus one can discount his claim to be an ‘atheistic’ Jew. Or atheism has a more specific meaning for him.
I would place the change of emphasis in his writing or, at least the beginning of the change, in 1915. My guess would be that Freud was unaware of the Jewish Revolution until he joined B’nai B’rith in 1895. That knowledge would have shaped the direction of his researches. Whatever science was involved would have been subordinated toward achieving the Revolution. At the same time that he was working out the nature of psychoanalysis as Bakan indicates he must also have been studying the Zohar and Kabbalah. I haven’t read or studied either so I have to rely on Bakan’s analysis of their influence. Bakan traces strong mystical influences running side by side with what passed for science in Freud’s mind. As Freud persistently says he’s going to ignore facts in favor of projections one must assume that there is more mysticism than science in Freud’s construction of psychoanalysis- as he says ‘his creation.’
Bakan points out that Freud transited from the role of physician to that of ‘healer.’ That is analogous to the hands on approach of Christian Fundamentalism. Freud then for all practical purposes abandoned medicine for healing. Then, sometime between 1913 and 1915 he abandoned psychoanalytical research for his ‘cultural’ studies. In other words, he began to apply his psychological studies to the manipulation of cultures through his developing ideas on Group Pschology.
page 4.
Just as Freud learned that there were screen memories that transformed more painful memories into something more acceptable to salve those injured feelings so Freud learned that he could develop ‘screen’ language to serve up unpalatable meanings in palatable ways. Thus what he says has a reasonable meaning to the uninitiated but has a totally different meaning to the initiated- those with the key. In many ways it is the same as a criminal argot. Those who understand the argot can discuss topics openly while only those with the key can twig it. Ya dig?
The key incident that fixed his mind on ‘cultural interests’ was his father’s story of the guy who knocked his hat into the gutter. Freud then, in attempting to disguise his hatred for ‘Christianity’, while secretly admiring it because of his nurse, and his desire to avenge his father and hence, all Jews, through his Moses fixation developed his program. Thus he acting in his own mind altruistically and need feel no guilt.
Freud was very seriously conflicted, also suffering from depression according to Bakan. Hence his purpose was to knock the whole of European Christianity into the gutter, which is to say the actual persons of Europe.
Thus the use of terms like ‘Culture’ and ‘Civilization’ should always be placed in the context of Jews and Europeans. In this manner he avoids the appearance of bigotry and hatred while sounding ‘scientific.’
Now, this obsession and extreme form of vengeance for something that, after all, didn’t happen to him nor did he witness it, might certainly be considered a neurosis, probably a psychosis and possibly a degree of insanity. In reading Bakan there is a hint that he believes Freud had a disordered mind. Indeed, Lang’s Testament Of Dr. Mabuse should be held steadily in mind when reading of Freud’s later career. Lang must have had Freud in mind when he filmed Mabuse.
page 5.
Lang,s departure from the denouement of the Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari ended on the conventional note of the victim, or whistle blower, being declared insane. Lang reversed this by making the perpetrator, Caligari/Mabuse insane as in real life with Freud. Further the disciple of Mabuse, the head of the asylum, Dr. Baum was also declared insane. Although the problem appears to be solved the threat of the conspiracy continuing from the cell now occupied by Dr. Baum looms like a spectre over the ending.
While Freud was never incarcerated as he should have been, he was imprisoned in his mind no less than Drs. Mabuse and Baum or the character in Gradiva. It is interesting that Freud had a plaster cast of the relief on which the story of Gradiva was based that he displayed prominently in his office. The story obviously had greater significance for him than his ‘objective’ analysis of the story would lead one to suspect.
Thus from 1915 to 1935 like Dr. Mabuse he sat imprisoned in his projection of reality churning out page after page, volume after volume of criminal plans for the subversion of civilization which is to say of Euroamerican civilization but not Jewish culture. He makes a definite point of that illusion of whose future he is discussing applies only to Europe and Christianity rather than religion in general which would include his own Judaism. At this point he is not aware of the burgeoning Wahabi Moslemism so that his message is that Jewish beliefs are real while Christian beliefs and Scientific reality are illusory. One has to penetrate the screen language and convert it into the proper psychological intent.
As David Bakan points out Freud lived his whole life in a sort of Jewish ghetto having very little contact with Europeans.
His choice of Jung as the potential heir to his ‘creation’ may have had as much to do with a desperate attempt to reestablish a connection similar to that of his childhood Christian nurse. Thus his overtures to Jung while under extreme stress were driven from his unconscious while he himself was unaware of his true motivations. This would have been an expression of a repetition compulsion. Thus as his nurse disappeared from his life under discreditable circumstances he replicated the situation in Jung. His attempt to convert Moses (hence himself) into an Egyptian may have been a last attempt to replicate and resolve this early contact with Christianity. His view of European civilization then was filtered wholly through a Jewish projection of possibilities. He really had no intimate knowledge of European mores.

From 1915 on, then, his writings were obsessed with hatred for Euroamericans and a desire to wreak vengeance on them by destroying the basis of their civilization. His ideas for the subversion of European civilization were carried to America by the international B’nai B’rith organization to be adopted and employed there. In addition Revolutionary plans executed in Europe in 1917 were financed and organized by the world Jewish government in the US. While functioning according to local conditions the Revolution was conducted an an international scale. Act locally, think globally. Hence Jewish revolutionaries left the US for Russia after 1918 to aid in the consolidation going on there. This is really an incredible if repressed story in the Freudian cultural manner. Very Freudian that such phenomenal criminal activity that were best left invisible was repressed into humanity’s unconscious.
At this point I think it might be well to examine Freud’s vision of the unconscious in more detail. While there can be little doubt that there is a subconscious function to the human mind usually referred to as the unconscious after Freud that had been an accepted fact amongst scientific researchers for a hundred years. The exact nature had not been determined nor does Freud determine it. His view is merely a projection of his own conscious and subconscious needs.
In David Bakan’s view Freud had made ‘a compact with Satan.’
page 7.
Certainly not in the literal sense but in the figurative sense that Freud would do anything, abandon any moral precepts, to achieve fame. Bakan points out the superscription to Freud’s ‘Interpretation Of Dreams’ quote from Virgil: Flectere si nesqueo superos, Acheronta movebo. Translated as: If the gods above are no use to me, then I’ll move all hell. Freud further blurred the line between good and evil or amalgamated the two from the influence of Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank who cast off all morality. Since Freud has been successful in altering both Euroamerican and Jewish morality toward these immoral or amoral beliefs by false ‘Satinic’ criminal doctrines it is imperative to debunk his personal projection of the subconscious.
As he ‘made a pact’ with powers below- the unconscious- against the powers above- the conscious- he invested his projection of the unconscious with the attributes of ‘Satan’ or evil. This view of the subconscious is a self-serving fiction not based on any science.
He sets up the unconscious as an autonomous entity with the main function of blighting the conscious. He give the powers of hell supremacy over the powers of heaven. This notion is mere fantasy; it cannot be. There is no possibility that the function of the subonscious doesn’t have a positive function in and of itself and in relation to the conscious. If you actually think about it for a moment you will realize this must be true; every part of the body works to the benefit of the whole; there can be no exception for the subconscious.
Now, Nature is not flawless. The order that the religious seem to find is not there. Nature functions in a much more haphazard way. It takes only one peek through the Hubble to see that.
However the relationship between the conscious and subconscious is delicate and easily disrupted especially in the early years of the organism when it has no experience with which to evaluate the events occurring to it. The Ego and Anima are not part of the subconscious and possibly not of the conscious but function through the conscious and unconscious minds.

The conscious mind perceives phenomena and acts on them but the terrific inflow of impressions is more than it can deal with so the day’s input is received into the subconscious for further reference. Thus a major function of dreams in the sleeping state is to review and process, organize the information into a coherent whole for future reference. The subconscious then is able to compare incoming information with experience for response. When the conscious and subconscious minds are attuned, that is to say the personality is integrated, the system works properly, otherwise the response is distorted by one’s fixations. This is very easy to see in Freud.
However, especially in youth when experience is scant, the mind may be challenged with some devastating new experience for which there are no reference points. If an appropriate response is made there is no problem. If an inappropriate response is made against which future experience is in variance, the earlier resp0nse which has become fixated will over rule an attempt at an appropriate response and substitute the fixated inappropriate response. Thus the current response will constellate around these earlier fixations which gives one bizarre symbolic dreams and inappropriate responses.
The inappropriate response will usally result from an insult to the Ego or, in other words, the Sexual Identity. In turn the response to this insult will be expressed in a sexual affect.
The purpose of psychoanalysis, which is real science, although Freud didn’t see that, is to locate and exorcize them allowing the conscious and subconscious aspects of the mind to function properly as a unit. Dreams are actually important because they are an analysis of life’s experence providing responses. None of this, of course takes in intelligence, discipline and other functions of mind and character that Freud dismisses as irrelevant.

Now, in the cultural war between Judaism and Euroamerica, or as Jews express it, Christianity, Freud infused the Jewish subconscious with a disregard for morality a la Jacob Frank in relation to Sabbatai Zevi. Any evil was excused so long as it seemed to advance the cultural war. While this infusion may not have reached down throught the ranks of Jewry- which is to say they behaved in a certain way but didn’t know why- the ideas were thoroughly planted in the minds of what Henry Ford would call the international Jew.
The cold war between Jews and Europeans became a shooting war in the wake of the Great War. Men, money and munitions flowed in a wide steady stream from the United States to Russia. Coordinators established themselves in strategic locations. If one reads restricted, censored literature the impression is made that horrible anti-Semites harassed and hated innocent unresisting Jews. Jews may have been killed but they were not innocent and unresisting. To the contrary freed from guilt, or supposedly so, by Freudian/Sabbatian/Frankist precepts, abattoirs were established throughout Russia where unsuspecting Russians were led in one door and flowed out the other in liquid form. This is not the place to dwell on gruesome details. The literature exists but the collective Jewish mind has repressed the deeds into the collective unconscious. In other words, history has been denied and censored so that the crimes can’t be known. Actually Whittaker Chambers, the Red spy, translated a number of these books concerning the Hungarian atrocities of Bela Kun and Tibor Szmuelly, but those are impossible to come by. All this slaughter was made possible and justified by the doctrines of Freud.
In relation to the 1919 atrocities of the Jews in Hungary and the response which expelled them from power it should be noted that Israeli troops were recently introduced into Hungary to reestablish the tyranny of Kun and Szmuelly. Don’t ever think the historical memories are short.
Freud sat comfortably in Vienna looking on as the carnage occurred. If, as believed, the tenor of his writing changed in 1925 that was probably due to the death of Lenin in 1924. By 1925 it was apparent that the Jewish Revolution was on shaky grounds as Stalin began his rise to power so that Freud may have renewed his cultural attack or, on the other hand, as 1928 was the terminal projected year of the Jewish Revolution Freud may have been celebrating the death of European Civilization when he published The Future Of An Illusion. By the illusion he meant European Christianity and he meant European civilization was finished. The Rome of the Popes would have fallen.
page 10.
In Illusion and Civilization And Its Discontents Freud makes us believe that the malcontents of civilization are synonymous with civilization rather than being a minority that always exists during great revolutionary changes. Freud whose Judaism was challenged by the Scientific Revolution as much as Christianity or Moslemism must have been aware of the reactionary ‘instinct’ as he himself was in reaction to both European Christianity and the Scientific Revolution.
David Bakan closes his volume with these words:
Quote:
…under the ruse of “playing the devil” (Freud) served Sabbatian interests. In this respect, however, just as Freud may be regarded as having infused Kabbalah into science, so may he be regarded as having incorporated science into Kabbalah. Sabbatian-wise, by closing the gap between Jewish culture and Western Enlightenment he acts as the Messiah nor only for Jewish culture but for Western culture as well.
Unquote.
Note that Western Enlightenment is reduced to Western culture putting it on a par with Jewish culture which is a tacit admission that there is no science in Jewish culture and none is wanted in Western culture. Language as a screen.
Bakan’s is a hefty statement. Under the guise of the Devil Freud becomes the Messiah not only for Jews but for Euroamericans. Truly in this scenario good comes from evil, assuming that the Messiah is good. In case you missed it, Freud according to Bakan was the Second Coming. Narrowing the gap between the two cultures means the imposition of Jewish culture as the Chosen or Abelite people over Western or Cainite culture. Thus the age old goal of reversing the Cain and Abel story so that Cain is obligated to give preference to Abel is accomplished.
page 11.
By infusing Kabbalah into science, science has been subjugated to the unscientific Jewish culture so that the Catholic/Jewish situation of Medieval Europe has been restored. The Enlightenment that invalidated Judaism, Christianity and Moslemism has been obliterated, hence the revival of religion happening today. Thus in Bakan’s eyes and according to Freud’s intent Judaism has deconstructed Euroamerican society so the reconstruction according to Jewish cultural mores can commence.
The result has been accomplished by the destruction of the Scientific Consciousness as there is little of science in Freud’s cultural writings. He just says what he believes and wants you to believe and asserts it as fact. As always there were some Westerners who resented the encroachment of the strict limits of science. Rider Haggard in his Allan Quatermain made that as clear as possible. The topic is the dominant theme of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan novels. Henry Ford and his mass production methods was a symbol of that rebellion against the strict limits set by the clock. Some denounced it as Taylorism; but with each passing decade the West became more acclimated to the change as the reactionary mood became acclimated to the new reality.
Freud invents ‘instincts’ and their ‘renunciation’ to give sense to his arguments; the ‘renunciation of instincts’ almost sounds scientific but it isn’t. There are no instincts nor does Freud even attempt to demonstrate their existence. Like the rest of Freud’s psychology the notion is just something Freud made up. As always he notes only the negative societal destructive effects. He says nothing of the ‘instinct’ to be around people which would conflict with his instinct against civilization- the last is a vague enough term the way he uses it. But, as Lang points out the hypnotic spell cast by Mabuse negates criticism so that the head psychologist, the objective scientist himself, Baum, suspends critical judgment falling under the spell to the point of becoming a disciple just as Lang himself did. Indeed, as the West has. Hitler was a blessing in disguise for the Jewish Revolution. The guilt caused by Hitler completely disarmed the West allowing the Reconstruction of Western mores to proceed at a faster pace than would have been possible without Hitler. Indeed, the Nazi Era drove the entire pyschotic Jewish Revolution to the shores of the United States beginning in the early thirties. Thus the deconstruction of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ America was assured.
To return to 1919.
