Topic: OSS Study: Hitler Remarkably Like Someone You Know

"...What is believed to be the first psychological profile of Hitler
commissioned by the Office of Strategic Services, a predecessor to
the Central Intelligence Agency, was posted this month (3/05) by Cornell
University Law Library on its Web site..."

Here's an excerpt (ed.):

"...but in Hitler the trend is so intense and the commonly balancing
forces (affection, conscience, self-criticism, humor) are so weak
that we are justified in speaking in speaking (sic) of megalomania
(delusions of omnipotence), despite the fact that the man has
succeeded in getting a large proportion of the German people to
believe that he is superior: (i) that he has been divinely appointed
to lead them to power and glory, and (ii) that he is *never wrong* and
hence must be followed with blind obedience, come what may..."


SOUND LIKE ANYONE YOU KNOW?

When the puppet dies, the master finds a new puppet to execute his plan.

Or maybe, just maybe, THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN!

Re: OSS Study: Hitler Remarkably Like Someone You Know

Brain or mind/consciousness?

Hi aprogas maybe wanderfalke meant his Brain although there shouldn't be much left of it as he shot himself (or was shot) in the head and subsequently burned.

Although the feedback loop of "power corrupts" surely was a factor in the Fuehrer's megalomania, it seems Hitler's amphetamine habit might have excerbated this process:

"He engaged in all-night monologues with an endless repetition of stories, along with increasingly disorganized thinking and confused syntax. The latter would not be expected of someone considered to have been a supreme orator. His mood swings became more volatile, paranoia increased (a common side effect of amphetamine addiction) and, while early on he accepted blame for tactical errors, he developed a tendency to project blame onto others."

Lookup on pubmed: Redlich F., Hitler's diagnosis. Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease. 188(5):311, May 2000. Also read Redlich's book ''Hitler: Diagnosis of a Destructive Prophet''. Some reviews about the book here and here.

Yep, sounds very familiar.

Re: OSS Study: Hitler Remarkably Like Someone You Know

David Icke quotes from a book written by Hitler's valet/butler who said that Hitler would wake up screaming from nightmares. He said Hitler told him that he had seen the "new man" (I don't think he meant the guy from Seinfeld) and that he was terrifying. Icke's interpretation was that he saw a reptilian.

Then there's that whole thing about the Tibetan monks and the Vril society which really makes a person wonder about  Tibetan Buddhism.   

Anyway, I've always wanted to read that book by the valet.

Which reminds me, have you ever seen the USA 57 cent stamp? It's worth going to the post office to buy one if you haven't.

Re: OSS Study: Hitler Remarkably Like Someone You Know

Damn, I hope to find a picture of that stamp.  Here's an article:

Aha, found it!  And there's a 55 cent one, too.
