G. Thomas, "Journey into Madness"

Thomas, Gordon. Journey into Madness: Medical Torture and the Mind Controllers. London: Corgi, 1989. Print. 

 While political terrorism has been capturing widespread attention for some time, almost nothing has been made public of how doctors today use their knowledge and skills in its support...

 They recommend how much further torture can be applied. Physicians employed in state-sponsored terrorism also falsify autopsy reports and provide fake medical certificates for persons those doctors know were tortured to death. A common description is "cardiac failure" or "pneumonia" on those certificates. (p.1)

 All such routine malpractices violate medical ethics as defined by one of three oaths sworn by every physician before he or she starts to practice: to do no harm, provide assistance to all in need, and only treat with consent of the patient.

Yet every day these pledges are flaglantly abused by doctors whose actions conform to the generally accepted definition of torture produced by the United Nations, Amnesty International, and other human rights organizations: the deliberate infliction of pain by one person on another in an effort to break the will of the victims.

.. In 1988 this gross and pervasive violation was occurring in over ninety countries; a quarter of the world's population were living in arears where abuses have long become habitual.....

 Psychiatry, in particular, is highly vulnerable to being used by the state to maintain power and control on thoughts and actions of its citizens. George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World continue to exist within all those countries where a person's intentions and actions are interpreted by the state in a manner designed to destroy legitimate political dissent. 

In a high proportion of those instances psychiatrists provide the clinical label -- and the veneer of legitimacy -- that allows the state to incarcerate opponents. Doctors, therefore, are increasingly used to discredit and silence all those who oppose official policies; the description of political dissent as "insanity" would have no credence without their active support. 

  What remains for me the most disturbing aspect of my investigation is that even as I write, and later when it is read, there are physicians who continue to participate in torture. Nothing I had researched before could have prepared me for the dark reality of doctors who set out to deliberately destroy minds and bodies they were trained to heal. The realization that physicians are part of a killing machine provokes a special horror. (p.8)

 Modern medical knowledge and technologies are such that those with special skills know exactly how to use them to assault the physical and psychological constitutions of their victims. (p.12)

 Late in June 1972, Dr. Gottlieb had jigged back and forth on the carpet of the [CIA] director's office, and his carefully controlled stammer had surfaced as he enthused that at long, long last, here was the answer to mind control, that ESB [Electrical Stimulation of the Brain] was the key to creating not only a psychocivilized person but an entire psychocivilized society--a world where every human thought, emotion, sensation, and desire could be actually controlled by electrical stimulation of the brain.

 The possibilities, said Dr. Gottlieb, were far beyond the neurological masturbation of the pleasure centers. Not only could a [Delgardo's] rampaging bull be stopped in full charge, but humans could finally be programmed to attack and kill on command. (p.277)

オリンパス敗訴で明らかになった女弁護士のブラック過ぎる手口

「悪質な企業では、会社にとって都合のよくない社員に対して『精神的なケアをする』との名目で、会社お抱えの産業医に診断をさせるんです。この産業医が会社とグルで、その社員を『君は精神分裂症だ』『重度のウツなので治療が必要』などと診断し、精神病院へ措置入院させたり、合法的に解雇してしまい、事実が隠蔽されてしまう。過去にセクハラを訴えた多くのOLなどがこの手口で社会的に抹殺されていますし、今回のHさんもそのひとりの疑いがあります」

不都合な社員や退職させたい社員がいる際には、まず集団ストーカーと呼ばれる手口で、その社員の周辺に複数の人間が常につきまとい、その社員に精神的苦痛を与え続け、その社員がたまらなくなって、怒鳴ったり暴力を振るったりしやすいようにする、もしくは精神的苦痛で自殺しやすい状況にする行為を続ける

このような集団ストーカー行為、もしくは産業医の制度を悪用する手口を使って、被害を訴える個人に対し、精神分裂症等の精神病として診断書を作成して被害者の発言の信憑性を低下させ、その上で産業医が治療と称し措置入院等を行う事で、報道、捜査機関、裁判所等を欺いて対応が出来ないようにし、さらに一般市民を自殺や泣き寝入りに追い込む
