    About this ebook

    Ian Dunbar was born in Margate, England, in 1936 and educated at Gillingham Grammar School and Aberdeen University. He graduated M.B.Ch.B. in 1961. His clinical interest was in the problems of general medical practice. Investigations took him first to Canada where he practiced in Regina and later to the Distant Early Warning Line in the Arctic. In effect, this was the military front line of the Cold War. After returning to Britain in December 1965 he became a partner in an NHS practice in West London where he witnessed the ferment of the 'swinging sixties'. He later moved to Kent but retired from active clinical practice in 1973 because of the increasing erosion of clinical freedom brought about by the 1969 Health Service reforms. In 1974 he worked on a Middle East oil field becoming acquainted not only with Palestinian refugees but also the clash of Western and Muslim cultures. As an amateur anthropologist, he explored several of the subcultures in contemporary society and in 1976 spent a month in Brazil visiting Sao Paulo, Goiania and Brasilia. An interest in the psychotoxicity of drugs led to his most important discovery. Political abuse of the subtle side-effects of cannabis and the contraceptive pill were being deployed to promote intellectual Socialism and bring about the collapse of capitalism. This created an unrecognised psychological aspect to the Cold War. This monograph outlines how it was done.

      Overview

      For young people the ‘Cold War’ as it was known, is ancient history. It has been superseded by what is nowadays referred to in cyberspace as ‘the new world order’ manipulated by a secretive, wealthy and influential group they call the ‘Illuminati’ after the Bavarian secret society of the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century.

      The Cold War, which the West thought it had won in 1989, was actually fought on two fronts, military and psychological. The military aspect with its threat of nuclear attack did indeed end in 1989. However, the psychological onslaught has been ideological, political, meticulously planned, overwhelming and continues unabated. The battlefield has been the human mind rather than a geographical location. Since politics are of little interest to most people, the battle has been fought surreptitiously behind our backs. Few realise it has happened let alone considered the implications and consequences.

      Since the 1960s, the target has been the postwar generation, the generation that is now retiring from running the world. Such has been its ideological confusion that its stewardship has been a catastrophic failure. As Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed in A User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization has lucidly outlined, we are now facing so-called ‘climate change’, ‘peak oil’, ‘peak food’, ‘economic instability’ and ‘international terrorism’, all at the same time. [¹] What nobody seems to realise is that the world is now dominated by left wing cultural imperialism, a Socialist hegemony intent not only on the destruction of capitalism but also the suppression of individual liberty as typified by anti-smoking legislation for example.

      However, for those of us of an earlier generation who have stood aloof from events observing them unfold, the situation is not hopeless. There is a possible solution to the problem unpalatable though it might at first seem. It is summarised in the final paragraph.

      To re-quote it here: ‘our continuing peaceful survival will depend on learning to live locally within our means. As observed earlier, the home is a microcosm of the state with the mother holding all the principal offices. It is in and around the home that all the products of the industrial revolution such as processed foods, gas, electricity, water, cars, and other consumer durables imported from the ends of the earth are ultimately utilised. It is in fact domestic mismanagement that lies at the root not only of the biodegradation of the environment but also our social problems and national debt. The infrastructure required for change therefore already exists in the homes of healthy, competent, full-time housewives and mothers. It is therefore in the home that resolution of the crisis of civilisation will have to start. Banishing battery-operated gadgets and insisting on clockwork timers and mechanical scales in their kitchens, would make a beginning. They might also ensure that every scrap of food they buy is eaten as it was in the war and not fed to sewer rats. Since the beginning of time good housekeeping has been the bedrock on which civilisation has evolved and which will be paramount if it is to advance. It is housewives and mothers, not politicians, who have the power to ‘save the world’. It is the ‘evolution’ rather than the ‘revolution’ of civilisation that must be the ultimate goal.’

      To understand how this conclusion was reached, it is first necessary to analyse and clarify the background, origin and tactics of the psychological Cold War.

      Investigative Background

      The following observations were made in general medical practice in Britain over the last 50 years and chanced upon while studying everyday clinical problems. Observations were therefore made in the community at large rather than the more scholarly confines of hospitals or universities. There is therefore little reference to the literature.

      Overheard as a small boy immediately after the last war from a doctor recently returned from the front was the fact that pregnant women caught up in the terror of an advancing front line all had miscarriages. The psychological shock had terminated their pregnancies without having suffered any physical injury. The mind had had a powerful physical effect on the body. It should therefore be viewed as a physical organ like the heart or the lungs rather than the figment of the imagination that is still common practice. Exploring the relationship between the mind and the body and understanding the rationale of ‘irrational’ behaviour, became a clinical preoccupation. Just as Freud and Jung had psychoanalysed mental illness, psychoanalysing the physical effects of the mind on the body set an unusual career path that led to the clinical experience outlined in More than a Puff of Smoke. [²]

      In the spring of 1967 a patient gave me a ‘joint’ of marijuana, the dried leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. The medical profession was, and still is, woefully ignorant of the effects of this drug. Traditionally in Britain, the law has both a spirit and a letter. It was not considered to be infringed simply because the letter had been broken. Since I was medically qualified and seeking to understand the effects of the substance, the spirit of the law was not being broken by possessing and smoking it.

      It immediately became apparent that the subjective sensation of intoxication was unlike the sedative effect of pethidine (Demerol), an opiate-like substance, previously experienced for post-operative pain following appendicectomy in 1955. Neither did it resemble the stimulant effect of ephedrine with which a bout of childhood asthma had been treated during the war. However, the experience was similar to that produced by hypnosis experienced on a postgraduate course in 1964. The effect can also be described as
