Prologue—AI Overview of Candace Owens Book Club Pick—Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition by David Bakan (1958, 2024)

 

Based on reader discussions regarding Candace Owens’ book club and recommendations, the book focusing on Sigmund Freud  is Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition by David Bakan. The book is often cited in her community as an insightful look into the origins of Freud’s theories and influence. 

 

The book jacket posted on Amazon.com gives a good synopsis of the general precepts and scope of this opus stating the following—

 

{Book jacket synopsis} In this pioneering work, David Bakan challenges the popular view of Freud as an entirely secular intellectual, schooled in modern culture rather than Jewish traditions. Bakan contends that the father of psychology was profoundly influenced by mystic lore about which he appeared to know very little –and which represents the antithesis of scientific method. This work is based on the premise that Freudian psychoanalytic theory is largely rooted in the Jewish religion, particularly the mysticism of the kabbala. In a fascinating interpretation of the blend of personality and cultural history, Bakan explains how Freud’s Jewish heritage contributed, either consciously or unconsciously, to his psychological theories. The author employs Freud’s own distinction between being a Jew and the acceptance of Jewish doctrine to demonstrate the effect of Jewish mysticism in the formation of Freud’s technical genius.  

 

• Focus: Explores the connection between Freud’s psychoanalytic theories and Jewish mystical traditions, suggesting deeper influences behind his work.
• Context: Recommended within the context of analyzing the influence of, and potentially questioning, traditional psychological teachings. 

It is frequently discussed alongside other, more mainstream biographies like 

Freud: A Life for Our Time  by Peter Gay, which covers the life of the founder of psychoanalysis. In his 1958 book Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition, David Bakan argues that Freud’s psychoanalytic theories were profoundly influenced by Jewish mysticism, particularly the Kabbalah. Bakan challenges the traditional view of Freud as a purely secular intellectual, suggesting instead that his Jewish identity acted as a “silent architect” for his psychological concepts. 

 

Zionist Kabbalah Cult 2026—The Law of Opposites (aka The New World Order)

 

Two years ago I wrote a major essay exposing the societal nihilism caused historically by Zionism, Globalism and the New World Order titled, Greg Reese Podcast—The Desperate and Failing Plan for a New American Century (aka “The 16-Year Plan to Destroy America” aka AGENDA 2030)(March 24, 2024). My conclusionary analysis  was succinct and grim—In order to understand the Father of Modern Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) you must understand his inexorable connection to the ancient Jewish mysticism cult called Kabbalah (aka the Law of Opposites). And to understand this principle you must understand the 6,000 Year War that originated in the Garden of Eden we euphemistically refer to in modern times as the “New World Order”. 

*N.B.: Note on the back of the $1.00 bill the word “Mason” (aka “Freemason”) is encoded which is the Satanic hexagram symbol which is the false symbol in the Zionist flag of Israel, of which the true biblical symbol should be the menorah. 

Ben Yamin, in a Facebook post “Pastors to the Pastors” (Nov. 12, 2025) wrote the following about Kabbalah—

“Kabbalah is the oldest religion on earth. It began with the serpent in the Garden of Eden as he deceived Eve into believing she too could become like God. Kabbalah contains all of the fallen-angel doctrines of occult magick, dark rituals, and divination that have corrupted the human race throughout history and into the present day. Over the ages it has been cleverly disguised as many different things, and is the core foundation behind every powerful secret society.

 

Kabbalah is ultimately the religion of Lucifer, and is contained within the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, also known in Kabbalah as the Sefirot Tree of Life.”

 

President George H.W. Bush 1991 Kabbalah Speech Ushering in the “New World Order”

On January 16, 1991, as the Soviet Union was collapsing and the Cold War coming to an end, [President] George H.W. Bush publicly announced a new campaign of American dominance which he called, the ‘New World Order’.

“This is an historic moment. We have in this past year made great progress in ending a long era of conflict and Cold War. We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN’s founders.”

~ George H.W. Bush

 {Analysis} There exists in Jewish culture an ancient mystery cult called Kabbalah or the Law of Opposites, the Law of Inversion (Perversion). In 2020, I wrote a comprehensive essay exposing this little-known but critically important contrarian belief system titled, Kabbalah Cult 2020—Jewish Perversion and the Law of Opposites. In this Weltanschauung system derivative of Babylonian Talmudic Money Majic oftentimes plain meanings have opposite outcomes. For example, President George H.W. Bush’s infamous “New World Order” speech referenced above was given in the context of the recent collapse of the old Soviet Union on Dec. 26, 1991. This Communist tyrannical regime responsible for World Wars and the deaths of between 272-400,000,000+ MILLIONS of people according to the research of Political Science Professor R.J. Rummel (1932-2014)— 

…Rummel increased his estimate to over 272 million innocent, non-combatant civilians who were murdered by their own governments during the 20th century.^[12] Rummel stated that his 272 million death estimate was his lower, more prudent figure, stating that it “could be over 400,000,000.”^[13] 

However, President Bush positive proclamation of a “New World Order” isn’t new at all but very ancient, arguably descending back thousands of years to the advent of humanity according to the Bible with our progenitors, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and with the first world power, Babylon under Noah’s great-grandson, Nimrod who created the infamous “Tower of Babel” in direct defiance of God’s commandments for humanity to be fruitful and multiply and to subdue (e.g., spread throughout) the earth, not to remain in one place on the earth under one leader = One-World Government = Satanic New World Order.

Core Argument and Themes of Sigmund Freud’s Use of Kabbalah in Psychoanalysis According to David Bakan’s Book

 

Bakan’s central premise is that Freudian psychoanalysis is largely rooted in Jewish religious and mystical traditions, even if Freud himself appeared to distance his scientific work from them. 

 

• The Unconscious and Kabbalah: Bakan draws parallels between the Freudian unconscious and Kabbalistic interpretations of the Torah, which emphasize hidden, esoteric meanings.

In a fascinating article published by Hanna Baer in Jewish Current titled – Therapy was Never Secular (Sept. 14, 2022), Baer postulates that contrary to prevailing Freudian and Psychoanalytical dogma going back near 150 years ago to the advent of Modern Psychology and Freud’s spin of it he called Psychoanalysis, the die was cast that this new discipline exploring the deepest recesses of the mind was a purely secular affair that had nothing to do with established religion, mysticism or God. They were wrong! Baer writes on the inescapable intersectionality between Freudian Psychoanalysis and the ancient traditions of Jewish Mysticism called Kabbalah—

FOR MUCH OF THE 20TH CENTURY, the association with Jewishness was a liability for the discipline of psychoanalysis. Peter Gay (who edited the W.W. Norton Freud Reader that I, and perhaps you, were required to read in college) and other eminent midcentury Freud scholars largely held the line that Freud was disconnected from Judaism. In this version of the history, Freud grew up in a highly assimilated Viennese family, had little exposure to Jewish life, and was famously critical of any and all religiosities. In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud responds to a friend’s suggestion that the basis of religion is an “oceanic feeling” by remarking that he had never felt such a feeling but that perhaps it was a vestige of an undifferentiated, infantile ego state. His interest in Jewish themes (for example, his extensive writings on Moses) was understood as secular; G-d the patriarch was basically a stand-in for earthly fathers.

 

In 1958, American psychologist David Bakan diverged from the dominant reading in his influential book Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition, a study of the close parallels between psychoanalysis and Kabbalah as modes of inquiry. He noted the importance of dreams and sexuality in both the Zohar, a seminal Kabbalah text, and in Freud’s thinking, and their shared fascination with symbolism as an interpretive tool to reveal that which is obscured. Though cautious about making concrete biographical claims regarding Freud, Bakan noted that the analyst grew up in a culture where Kabbalistic ideas were commonly discussed even as pervasive antisemitism engendered widespread ambivalence around how “out” to be as a Jew. He invoked the Kabbalistic idea of remez, or the practice of hinting at ideas subtly in text, as a basis for theorizing how Freud may have deliberately hid the Jewishness of his thought to enable wider dissemination, while at the same time leaving clues that led discerning readers back to its Jewish roots.

 

Reviewers at the time treated Bakan’s argument as interesting if outlandish; some were particularly put off by his claim that Freud may have been a devotee of Shabtai Tzvi, a disgraced 17th-century Kabbalist who claimed to be the messiah. In the decades that followed, however, Bakan became an important resource for the increasing number of scholars interested in the ties between Freudian ideas and Jewishness. Building on decades of new biographical material, Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi published Freud’s Moses: Judaism Terminable and Interminable in 1991, citing evidence that Freud was raised in an effectively Orthodox household to a mother who only spoke Yiddish. 

 

In Yerushalmi’s telling, Freud was intimately familiar from a young age with Jewish texts; the copy of the Talmud he was ritually gifted by his father Jakob when he turned 35 was inscribed not to Sigmund but to “Shlomo.” Where Bakan speculated on the assimilationist pull of Freud’s time, Yerushalmi presents Freud’s external and internal pressures to assimilate and his various motivations for downplaying or obscuring his feelings about Judaism during his lifetime as historical facts. In particular, Yerushalmi argues, Freud’s hesitance around identifying Jewishly came about not because his family was assimilated but because of his complex relationship with his own observant father. . .

 

The Advent of Cultural Marxism and How Kabbalah was integrated in America’s Academies through Marxist Jewish Faculty at Columbia University 

 

• Jewish Identity: The book explores Freud’s personal struggle with his identity as both an “infidel” and a “Jew,” examining how this tension contributed to his technical genius.
• Historical Context: Bakan discusses the influence of the Sabbatian and Frankist movements, as well as the rise of anti-Semitism in Vienna, as critical factors in the development of Freud’s worldview.

 

 

·       Byington writes that, “The war is no longer coming. It’s HERE. GITMO has entered its most brutal phase as of June 2025 — a phase of global tribunal executions and unstoppable military precision. And it’s no longer just in Cuba. It’s a worldwide purge. Trump’s Alliance has activated the GLOBAL EXECUTION GRID. This Leftist Conspiracy goes back to the early 1900s with the advent of the so-called Frankfurt School who imported “Cultural Marxism throughout Europe and to the Americas.”

 

·         President Trump has repeatedly warned the Deep State criminals “that the Hunted has become the Hunter.” Meaning: “GITMO has been replicated in classified bases: Diego Garcia. Pine Gap. Area 801 Antarctica. Thule Air Base. Montauk. All now linked by Project ODIN and armed with Biometric Kill-Switch Systems, Quantum Behavioral Chambers, and Autonomous Tribunal AI. The targets? Rothschilds. Vatican Jesuits. Khazarian bankers. Hollywood occultists. Deep State media infiltrators. In just the past 72 hours: Geneva – Rothschild tunnels raided; Vatican – Jesuit Council chamber seized. Cardinals arrested; Hollywood – Ritual sites dismantled. A-list handlers vanished; New York – UN NGO sites raided for trafficking; Singapore – Khazarian assets frozen. Globalist tech CEO detained. In conclusion this has been “CONFIRMED: Rothschild — captured; Pope Francis — body double glitched; Klaus Schwab — in Quantum Isolation; Bill Gates — DARPA-confirmed genocide links; Soros — dead, body secured; Trudeau, Macron, Zelensky — marked for Phase Two… 

*N.B.: See, Ellis Washington, Real News for Real Patriots from the Judy Byington Report—Part 60 (Sept. 29, 2025).

• Techniques of Interpretation: The book compares the “secret knowledge” passed down in mystical traditions to the intimate training required for professional analysts. 

Critical Reception

The American Journal of Psychiatry described the work as “destined to become a landmark in the study of the historical origins of psychoanalysis”. While some modern readers note that certain historical assumptions may feel dated, the book remains a pioneering study for its intersection of personality, cultural history, and psychology. 

 

Purchasing Options

The book has been reprinted several times, including a 2024 facsimile reprint of the original 1958 edition by Dover Publications. I believe the Candace Owens Book Club uses the most recent 2024 Dover Publications Reprint of the 1958 original.

Zionism and the Creation of Israel (May 1948)

 

In my essay titled–Greg Reese Podcast—Zionism and the Creation of Israel (Nov. 11, 2023) I offered a synopsis history of Zionism, the Talmud(s) and the Turkic Tribes collectively called the ‘Khazars’ or ‘Khazarians’ who most modern “Jews” of today (97.5%) trace their DNA lineage to while fewer than 3% have Hebrew, Judaic or ancient DNA that would confirm that they are indeed Semitic while 80% of the Palestinians living in Israel today can claim ancient Semitic DNA of Biblical Hebrew origins.  Why because most so-called “Jews” aren’t Semitic at all, they are Khazarians (basically Ukrainians in today’s ethnic designation).

 

In Part I of my 5-part essay series written in 2020 on The History of the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia I wrote—

Preston James and Mike Harris – Hidden History of the Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia (2015)

 

REAL JEWS ALERT! Less than 3% of all Jews living in Israel TODAY have ancient Judaic-Hebrew DNA. 80% of the Palestinians have ancient Judaic-Hebrew DNA.

“Recent peer-reviewed Johns Hopkins genetic research by a respected Judaic MD shows that 97.5% of Judaics living in Israel have absolutely no ancient Hebrew DNA, are therefore not Semites, and have no ancient blood ties to the land of Palestine at all. By contrast, 80% of Palestinians carry ancient Hebrew DNA and thus are real Semites, and have ancient blood ties to Palestinian Land. This means that the real anti-Semites are the Israelis who are stealing Palestinian lands in order to build Israeli settlements, and it is the Israelis who are the ones tyrannizing and mass-murdering innocent Palestinians.” ~ Preston James and Mike Harris – Hidden History of the Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia (2015)

 

Following Aristotelian philosophical and scientific model of “First Principles” I feel it necessary to establish some sequence of proper terminology for who actually consider themselves to be a real “Jew”, or on a deeper level “Semitic” since the term “Antisemitism” has for the past 60-70 years or so been so shameless weaponized to silence dissenting views by people holding contrarian views against Israel, Israeli foreign policy particularly the Gaza genocide as led by Israeli pressure groups largely in America.

{Transcript} While the rabbis offered no support, the Zionists garnered the support of the British Crown as early as 1841. And they were funded by the Rothschild banking dynasty, otherwise known as the Bank of England, so the Crown was likely involved from the start.

In 1897, the political intent to re-create the state of Israel was made official to the public. And in 1917, under the British government’s Balfour Declaration, British troops seized control of Palestine on behalf of the Zionists.

In 1922, the League of Nations adopted the declaration. And in 1947, the United Nations granted parts of Palestine to the Zionists.

Between 1947 and 1949, Palestinians were made refugees and kicked out of the homes of their ancestors. Hundreds of villages were destroyed, and thousands of Palestinians were murdered in a series of massacres known as the Nakba. The Zionists killed Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews. {See Greg Reese cite above}

{Analysis} Herein lies a major fault line between the Zionists and the so-called Jewish Rabbis who both seek to control Israeli Culture and Society, its Politics and History. While the former are zealous on reclaiming the ancient land of Palestine and renaming it Israel, the traditional or orthodox Rabbinical view is that we are no longer a Jewish nation or Jewish state, therefore a physical identification with the land is not axiomatic to most modern Jews of today or even being “Jewish” for that matter.

The 2 Talmuds—Jerusalem Talmud vs. Babylonian Talmud

{Transcript} The Zionists claimed to be non-religious, but they were mostly Ashkenazi Jews. The Ashkenazi can be traced back to the Khazars, the progenitors of Rabbinic Judaism.

The Khazar Khaganate was a major empire in what is now Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and parts of Russia, Turkey, and Iran. It was ruled by the Khazars but made up of several diverse nomadic tribes.

In the year 740 the Khazars mass converted to Judaism. Synagogues and schools were built, and Rabbinic Judaism was born. The original Jerusalem Talmud was replaced by the recently codified Babylonian Talmud. Which was based on Babylonian philosophy and became the mainstream thanks to the Khazars and the Zionists. {See Greg Reese cite above}

 

{Analysis} This duality and conflict between the non-religious Jews (Zionists, Khazars) who favor the Babylonia Talmud vs. the religious Jews or Rabbis holding to the Jerusalem Talmud became more entrenched from 740 to today. Below are some notes from the Judy Byington GCR News Update 10/30/2023 that hopefully will fill in some of the hidden history that the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia-controlled world media has scrupulously hidden from the public at large, however, I am joyful to report that everyday more and more people here in America and throughout the world are becoming “Redpilled” so to speak and are becoming aware the truth and rejecting the propaganda press version of events that Palestinians = Genocidal Bad and Jews = Oppressed Good guys. That demonic paradigm of media, politics and history is forever DEAD!

 Candace Owens Statements on Sigmund Freud and Sexualization of Children, Culture and Society through Psychopathology, Zionism and Kabbalah Cult Techniques

Candace Owens has made highly controversial statements regarding Sigmund Freud. She often attacks him within the context of wider conspiracies about the origins of psychology, sexuality, and, in some instances, Jewish culture and mysticism. This is based on Kazan’s seminal book arguing that psychoanalysis is a secularized version of Jewish mysticism, noting that Kabbalistic ideas (such as remez or hidden interpretation) influenced Freud’s development of the unconscious.

 

{AI overview}

Key aspects of her statements on Freud include:

 

• Accusations of Pedophilia and Perversion: Owens has asserted that “the entire field of psychology was built by pedophiles and perverts,” specifically naming Freud alongside other figures like Magnus Hirschfeld and John Money. She has referred to him as “Sigmund Fraud”.
• “The Assault on Truth” Argument: Owens has suggested that Freud used psychoanalysis to cover up child sexual abuse, claiming he told female patients who were raped as children that they were actually experiencing an attraction to their father.
• Conspiratorial Claims regarding “Kabbalah”: Owens has accused Freud of being a “cabalist” (referencing a likely misspelled or intentional re-framing of, Kabbalah) and argued that his work was intended to disguise acts of rape.
• Focus on Sexualization of Children: Owens has argued that Freud and his contemporaries held a “suspicious interest in the sexuality of children”. 

Contextual notes:

 

• These comments have been widely categorized as antisemitic by organizations like the ADL, particularly due to her linking these claims to Judaism and the Kabbalah.
• Historians and critics have pointed out that there is no evidence to support that Freud studied the Kabbalah, and he was known as a religious skeptic.
• Some of her discussions on these topics have referenced The Assault on Truth, a book by Jeffrey Masson which accuses Freud of abandoning his “seduction theory” (that his patients were victims of actual sexual abuse) in favor of his theory of infantile sexuality and Oedipal fantasies. 

 

Epilogue—Selected Previous Writings of Mine on Sigmund Freud including—The Sexualization of Children, Sexual Psychopathology, Kabbalah, and the Advent of the Modern Celebrity Cult of Adrenochrome Harvesting as a ‘Fountain of Youth’ for the Elites

Since Candace Owen’s interest in Sigmund Freud centers primarily on how he used psychoanalysis, Psychology and Psychiatry to create a grand Psycho-Sexual Construct that consciously and Machiavellian manner moved from some of Candace Owens’ discussions on these topics have referenced The Assault on Truth, a book by Jeffrey Masson (1984, 2025) which accuses Freud of abandoning his “seduction theory” (that his patients were victims of actual sexual abuse) in favor of his theory of infantile sexuality and Oedipal fantasies: odious, perverted and fraudulent ideas that serve as the foundational pillars of Freud’s Psychoanalysis or what Nazi philosophy referred to as Weltanschauung (Worldview). 

Below are two extended essays I wrote on Sigmund Freud as part of my 80-100 + essays on the complete volumes in the Encyclopedia of Ideas edited by Hutchins and Adler titled – Great Books of the Western World (First Ed., 1952). In the first edition of 1952 Freud was the last volume of that colossal work. All of the 80-100+ essays of these canonic writers were collected in my book, The Progressive Revolution – 2014-15 Writings – History of Liberal Fascism Through the Ages, Vol. 5 (2017). 

 

 

Essay #1—On Sigmund Freud: pushing society into sexual psychopathy, Part 1

By Ellis Washington

May 30, 2015

The madman is the dreamer awake.

~ Freud

Biography of Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (May 6, 1856 – September 23, 1939) was an Austrian neurologist, researcher and writer who is most celebrated as “the Father of Psychoanalysis.” Freud’s early career was his training as a Doctor of Medicine receiving his medical degree at the University of Vienna in 1881; here he conducted research into microscopic neuroanatomy, aphasia and cerebral palsy at the Vienna General Hospital. In 1902, he became an affiliated professor (‘professor extraordinarius’) at the University of Vienna.

As a pioneer in psychoanalysis, a clinical process for treating psychopathology (or psychopathy, which Freud considered a “guiltless crime”) through discourse between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud established therapeutic procedures for instance discovered transference and the use of free association instituting its dominant part in the analytic process. Freud’s perversion of and obsession with sexuality compelled him to involve its childhood forms and to create the “Oedipus complex” as the dominant principle of his psychoanalytical theory. His examination of dreams as wish-fulfillments gave him models for the clinical study of symptom development and the mechanisms of repression along with the expansion of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of conscious states of mind. Freud hypothesized the reality of libido, a dynamism with which mental procedures and structures are endowed, and which creates erotic connections, and a death drive, the basis of aggression, hate, repetition, and neurotic guilt. In other works, during his middle and late periods Freud developed a comprehensive interpretation and reactionary analysis of religion, culture and society.

Psychoanalysis remains prominent in the realm of psychotherapy, in parts of psychiatry, and throughout the humanities. For example, it continues to produce widespread and very spirited debate concerning its therapeutic effectiveness, its scientific viability, and whether it promotes or is negative to the concept of modern feminism (which I will discuss in Part 2 of this essay series). However, Freud’s legacy has come to dominate present-day Western ideas and popular culture. So dominate was Freud’s psycho-sexual worldview on American and European thought it was said by poet W. H. Auden at the time of Freud’s death in 1939 that he declared “A whole climate of opinion / under whom we conduct our different lives.”

Freud and Psychoanalysis

Freud went to Paris in October 1885 on a fellowship to study with Jean-Martin Charcot, a famous neurologist who was directing scientific explorations into hypnosis. Freud considered that experience a turning point in his life and a catalyst in compelling him to pursue the techniques of medical psychopathology and more away from neurology research which would have been a more financially favorable career. Charcot was an expert in the field of hysteria and hypnosis techniques, which he often demonstrated with patients on stage in front of an audience.

During Freud’s early years of private practice from 1886-1895, he started using hypnosis in his clinical work, however, by 1896, Freud had rejected hypnosis and began utilizing the term “psychoanalysis” to denote to his new clinical system and theoretical framework he would utilize to reinterpret the world in his own, objective image from that point forward.

Freud’s expansion of these different theories occurred during a time when he suffered heart irregularities, distressing dreams and episodes of depression, a “neurasthenia” which he connected to his father’s death in 1896 and which compelled Freud to conduct a “self-analysis” of his own memories and dreams of youth. His investigations of his emotional states of hostility to his father and jealousy rivalries over his mother’s love caused a fundamental change in his theory of the origin of the neuroses.

Freud, using his early clinical work had hypothesized that unconscious memories of sexual molestation in early childhood were an essential cause for the psychoneuroses (obsessional neurosis and hysteria), a precondition known as Freud’s seduction theory. Nevertheless Freud’s self-analysis compelled him to reject the theory that every neurosis can be connected back to the outcome of infantile sexual trauma, now contending that infantile sexual abuse still had a contributory function, however it did not matter whether they were real or imaginary and that in either case infantile sexual trauma became pathogenic only when functioning as repressed memories.

Therefore the formulation of one of Freud’s most enduring and celebrated psychiatric theories, the Oedipus complex derived from this conversion from the theory of infantile sexual trauma as a universal description of how all neuroses develop to one that presumes an independent infantile sexuality.

Freud defined the evolution of his clinical techniques and proposed his theory of the psychogenetic origins of hysteria, verified in numerous case histories like his Studies on Hysteria published (1895). One of Freud’s most important early works was The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) in which Freud analyzes interpretations of his own and his patients’ dreams employing his theory of wish-fulfillments, censorship of the “dream work” and repression. As a child of about age 10 or 11, I was introduced to the writings of Freud through this book by my mother who at the time was studying psychology in college. I recall reading Freud’s abridged version, On Dreams (1901) which was very popular with the general public and had many subsequent editions where he established the theoretical archetypes of psychological organization (the unconscious, pre-conscious and conscious) on which these ideas became established. Later Freud applied his theories separate from a clinical setting in The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (1901) and Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious (1905). Another book my mother gave me to read as a young teenager was Freud’s Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905), where he gave details regarding his theory of infantile sexuality in all of its “polymorphous perverse” forms and the functioning of the “drives,” which he considered the basis of sexual identity. Also in 1905, Freud published one of his more famous and provocative case studies Fragment of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria (Dora).

Freud’s Philosophy and Marxism

From roughly 1900-55 Freud and his Psychoanalysis revolution of sexual perversion and anti-religion was re-interpreted (ironically using Freud’s defense mechanism Psychological Projection) as both radical and ‘conservative.’ By the 1940s, Leftist propaganda began systematically rewriting history to reinterpret Freud’s ideas as ‘conservative’ by the European and American intellectual circles, thus psychological projection existed as a Marxist tactic and strategy to label your political enemies with ideas you actually believe. For example, Frankfurt-born psychologist and social theorist Erich Fromm had contended that many aspects of psychoanalytic theory aided the interests of political reactionaries on the Right in his book, The Fear of Freedom (1942). Likewise Philip Rieff’s Freud: The Mind of the Moralist (1959) represented Freud as a dystopian zealot who compelled society to make the best of an unavoidably miserable fate and was therefore championed for that depressed worldview. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh noted Freud’s dystopian worldview as a phenomena President Barack Obama through his presidency has given to Millennials in a monologue he gave in 2014.

Beginning in the mid-1950s several important philosophers and conservative schools of thought like the Frankfurt School and Critical Theory, began to systematically provide a viable intellectual paradigm to challenge the then dominant view of Freud as a conservative, most notably – Herbert Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization (1955), Lionel Trilling’s Freud and the Crisis of Our Culture, and Norman O. Brown’s Life Against Death (1959). Eros and Civilization championed the notion that Freud’s psychoanalysis and Marxism were philosophically the same addressing related problems from different perceptions and following not a Right but an aggressive and doctrinaire Leftist, hedonist worldview. Marcuse criticized Neo-Freudian revisionism for ostensibly rejecting pessimistic philosophies for instance the death instinct, contending that they could be reinterpreted to promote a utopian worldview instead.

Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychoanalyst, a member of the second generation of psychoanalysts after Sigmund Freud, and one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry, viewed Freud’s contributions in the field of psychiatry as comparable to that of Marx for economics, and Stanford Historian Paul Robinson, regarded Freud as a revolutionary whose influence on twentieth century thought is equal in importance to Marx’s socialist-communist contributions to nineteenth century thought. Fromm regarded Freud, Marx and Einstein as the three “architects of the modern age,” however unlike Robinson rejected the opinion that Marx and Freud were equally important, contending that Marx was exceedingly more indispensable to history and a much better philosopher than Freud. However, I agree with Fromm’s contention that credits Freud with forever changing the way human nature is understood and interpreted (more on this point at the end of this essay). Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in Anti-Oedipus (1972) promoted the idea that psychoanalysis was similar to the Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 in that it became corrupted almost from the beginning which they traced to Freud’s development of the theory of the Oedipus complex a theory which they considered to be idealist.

This last point by Deleuze and Guattari that Communism in Russia became ‘corrupted’ is disingenuous. Freudians would call their historical revisionism a defense mechanism, or specifically a psychotic rationalization. Why? Because in the history of nations that tried any form of Marxism and its corollary Leftist government systems – Communism, Socialism, Western Socialism, Liberalism and Progressivism, is the unbroken narrative that these systems have utterly failed every time they were tried, yet Marxist academics and Progressive sycophants to this day always claim that Communism failed here or there because it wasn’t “pure” or it became “corrupted” or it was “underfunded,” but that our version of Communism will succeed. That’s a lie; that’s historical revisionism or what Freud would call the defense mechanism of psychotic rationalization.

Freud’s Influence and Connection to other Writers

In his celebrated book Being and Nothingness (1943) French existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre criticizes Freud’s theory of the unconscious, writing that consciousness is basically self-conscious. Sartre likewise tried to integrate some of Freud’s philosophies into his particular existential worldview and thus advance an “existential psychoanalysis” by which causal classifications are exchanged by teleological classifications. Freud continues to be one of the most polarizing figures in history, for example, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, a French phenomenological philosopher, strongly influenced by Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, believed Freud to be one of the founding fathers of phenomenology, which is the philosophical study of the structures of experience and consciousness, while Theodore Adorno, a German sociologist, philosopher, and musicologist known for his critical theory of society, believes Husserl (the actual founder of phenomenology), to be Freud’s philosophical opposite interpreting Husserl’s critical essay against psychologism (psychology’s effect on facts and law) as a diatribe against psychoanalysis. Philosophers Paul Ricœur and Jürgen Habermas together have developed a “hermeneutic version of Freud,” promoting the idea that “claimed him as the most significant progenitor of the shift from an objectifying, empiricist understanding of the human realm to one stressing subjectivity and interpretation.” Jacques Derrida, a French philosopher and father of deconstructionism, understands Freud to be a central figure in the history of Western metaphysics and, with Nietzsche and Heidegger, a forerunner of his universal brand of sexual hedonism and extremism.

Freud’s Legacy in Modern times

If it is indeed true as Freud wrote that “the madman is the dreamer awake,” then I believe that two major overarching themes of Freud’s oeuvre clearly expressed his madness – atheism and sexual perversity (psychopathy) – diabolical ideas that have cursed us all in modern times. Freud’s militant atheism is demonstrated here by his declaration, “[I]t would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent Providence, … a moral order in the universe and an after-life; but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be. …” In other words to Freud religion was a delusion, a loss of contact with reality.

Like the picture above Freud was obsessed with sex, sexuality and sexual drives, but before he could create the world in his own perverted image, Freud had to first deconstruct and render Western civilizations’ historical and culture reliance on its Judeo-Christian traditions. To achieve this Machiavellian feat Freud would make effective use his of medical background in neurology and psychopathology to ingeniously create out of whole cloth and chronicled in his numerous books and scholarly articles, a comprehensive sexual Weltanschauung (worldview), a veritable Unified Field Theory of psycho-sexual perversity where within 10 years after Freud’s death another radical sex researcher and Freudian sycophant, Alfred Kinsey would write in his infamous book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) based on the sexual perverse idea that “the only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform.”

Freud would be pleased with Kinsey’s anti-Christian obsession and fraudulent scientific statistics which would drive society into sexual nihilism during the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and 70s. Freud’s rationalization of sexual psychopathy is his legacy the results of which in the early twenty first century reside a grotesque battlefield of sexual casualties in the tens of millions due to a litany of sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) – Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Herpes, HPV, Hepatitis A, B, C, Chlamydia, Bacterial vaginosis, Crabs, Scabies, and the most deadly, HIV/AIDS, etc… A hellish legacy of sexual perversity, pain and obsessive psychopathy given scientific justification and rationalization by Marxism Media, Inc., legions of Marxist professors spewing facile propaganda to clueless students, Leftist intellectuals, politicians, judges and Herr Sigmund Freud.

On Sigmund Freud: pushing society into sexual psychopathy, Part 2

By Ellis Washington

June 6, 2015

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

~ Freud

Freud and Emotion

 

The Ancients frequently declared existence of the power of the passions, and in their poetry, epics and narratives likewise expressed their lack of confidence in man, in humanity to have the will, the moral character and intestinal fortitude to control these passions, or to bring the passions within the domain of Reason. The Ancients were of course familiar with the ferocity of emotional excess they ubiquitously referred to as “madness” or “frenzy.” Likewise, the theologians of the Middle Ages and Enlightenment thinkers like Descartes, Spinoza, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, de Tocqueville and many others of this era wrote of the madness of the passions. However, not until the 1880s with Sigmund Freud, “the Father of Psychopathology” and William James, “the Father of Psychology,” do we discover the practice of modern intellectualism and ancient classical thought merging and bringing an existential awareness into the organic pathology of the passions, the genesis of emotional disorders, and the development of a universal theory of the neuroses, neurotic character and sexual psychopathy as the result of emotional repression.

Regarding Freud’s views on emotional psychosis and sexual psychopathy, the crucial elements is not the struggle between reason and emotion, or, in his lingo, between the ego and the id. In particular it is the repression whose effect establishes such conflict. “Unexpressed emotions will never die. They will come forth later in uglier ways,” wrote Freud. “On the one side is the ego, which “stands for reason and circumspection” and has “the task of representing the external world,” or conveying what Freud considers “the reality-principle.” Connected to the ego is the super-ego – “the vehicle of the ego-ideal, by which the ego measures itself, towards which it strives, and whose demands for ever-increasing perfection it is always striving to fulfill.” On the other hand is the id, which represents the “untamed passions” and is the birthplace of instinctual existence, or savage human nature.

According to Freud, the ego, is relentlessly struggling “to mediate between the id (or what Freud called ‘the dark, inaccessible part of our personality’) and reality” and to rise to the ideal established by the super-ego, in its relentless efforts to triumph over “the pleasure-principle, which exerts dominant influence and control over the processes in the id, and substitute for it the reality-principle, which exerts undisputed sway over the processes in the id, and substitute for it the reality-principle, which promises greater security and greater success.” Then again at times it fails in this effort. In Freud’s age: 1880-1940, like today, emotional psychosis and sexual psychopathy is generally socially unacceptable and as yet there exists no socially tolerable standard actions available for venting these perverted sexual emotional drives, therefore the ego, together with the super-ego, represses the emotional or instinctual (dare I say ‘natural’) compulsions, that is, inhibits these acts of emotional psychosis and sexual psychopathy from manifesting themselves openly. Of course if the Supreme Court passes same-sex marriage as constitutional in all 50 states, I predict a New Age of emotional psychosis and sexual psychopathy to plague America, Europe and the world unless We the People rise up to stop this madness.

Freud’s perverted and misdiagnosed analysis is that repressed emotions do not degenerate and disappear. Quite the opposite, these repressed emotions mount up and, like an untreated, undiagnosed cancer they metastasize secretly and multiply inwardly. Together with associated thoughts, memories, and desires, the repressed emotions form what Freud defines as a “complex,” which is not only the dynamic basis of emotional disorder including emotional psychosis and sexual psychopathy, but also the reason for neurotic indications and habits – obsessions or compulsions, anxieties and phobias, and the numerous physical expressions of hysteria, such as a blindness or a paralysis that has no organic origin.

The connection between the neurotic and the normal is mysterious, for repressed emotional complexes and sexual psychopathy are, according to Freud, likewise liable for the concealed or dormant psychological consequence of slips of the tongue (“Freudian slip”), memory lapses, the content of dreams, vocational or spousal choices, and a wide diversity of other sensations typically understood as unintentional or as reasonably determined. In reality, Freud often moves to the extreme of contending that all seemingly rational phenomenon – including thought and choice – are likewise emotionally fixed and predetermined; therefore, many if not all, reasoning is connected to the justification of emotionally fixed preconceptions or views, “the ego,” Freud writes, “is after all only a part of the id, a part purposively modified by its proximity to the dangers of reality.”

The Ancients (most notably the Greek and Roman writers) maintained a division between knowledge and opinion which appears to be an essential aspect of the understanding that emotions indeed can and often does control the course of thought, perhaps even play a large role in fulfilling our destiny. Although Freud was a militant atheist who considered religion a psychotic delusion, nevertheless this pagan Greek idea that Freud adopted (to an extent) his theories on emotion is reminiscent of the Bible aphorism, Proverbs 23:7 – As a man thinks in his heart [= mind, will, emotions] so is he. But then again it decouples the worldview that all thought is inevitably controlled by the passions. The kind of thinking which is separate from emotional presupposition or control might result in knowledge, if the subject’s reasoning is lucid and not flawed or perverted in its inductive/deductive progressions. However, the kind of thinking which is directed and determined by the passions of necessity leads to opinion. In other words, emotion separate from thought = reasoning; emotion integrated or connected to thought = “rationalization” or sometimes “wishful thinking” according to Freud.

Freud’s Legacy in Modern times: Unleashing Psychopathy by killing God

The central thesis and analysis of this two-part essay series sought to examine some of Freud’s work, particularly his existential dualism of deconstruction – Step 1. Create a Unified Field Theory of psychotic sexual perversion; Step 2. Kill God and render her Judeo-Christian traditions irrelevant by pushing society collectively ever deeper into the abyss of emotional psychosis, sexual psychopathy and moral depravity. As if Freud had not done enough to recreate the world into his own perverted image, in his last major work, Der Mann Moses und die monotheistische Religion (1938; Moses and Monotheism), far from being just the “historical novel” here Freud demonstrated his irrational obsession against religion, specifically Judaism and Christianity which he considered all religion irrational delusions and “wish-fulfillment.” In this book Freud obsessed on the historical Moses and particularly what Freud perceived as Moses’s power, control and influence he wielded over the ancient Hebrews enslaved in Egypt. Yet Freud’s obsession with Moses existed long before this book was published and was evident in the subject of his 1914 essay written in on Michelangelo’s celebrated statue of Moses, where Freud spent three weeks visiting Italy in 1913 trying to understand the sculpture’s deep and profound, psychological and emotional effects.

Freud’s opus endeavored to resolve the mystery of Moses’ geneses by arguing (with no evidence) that he was in reality an Egyptian prince by birth who was not chosen by God to lead the Jewish people out of Egyptian slavery (as predicted in the Bible over 400 years before by the Jewish patriarch Abraham), but Freud thought Moses was chosen by the Jewish people to preserve an earlier version of monotheistic religion. The “first Moses” was killed in a Jewish rebellion because he was too brutal and unyielding, and thus a second, more conciliatory man, also called Moses, ascended as the new leader of the Jews. Nevertheless, the guilt caused by their collective murderous act was, conversely, too psychologically devastating to withstand, thus according to Freud’s mythology of Moses, the Jews eventually reverted to the religion given them by the original (‘first’) Moses as the two archetypes morphed into one in their collective memories.

On this last point, Freud’s irrational hatred or religion is compelled by his militant atheist roots which originate from his childhood where his father’s tyrannical and abusive dominance over him was permitted to encompass an extremely imaginary narrative that Freud concocted inside the crucible of his own anti-religion psychosis. This existential state of Freud and religion obsession reveals more about Freud as the pathetic, frightened, fragile little man before the awesome, omnipotent God of the Bible than its alleged subject, the biblical figure, Moses.

 

Michelangelo’s Moses (circa 1513-15)

Moses and Monotheism was published during a time of cataclysmic universal upheaval – 1938 was the year Hitler invaded Austria and annexed this country arriving like a conquering Caesar while the appeasement-obsessed leaders of Europe (most infamous England’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain), watched Hitler’s triumphal entry with fear and trembling. Freud, like many of Europe’s leading intellectuals, many of them Jewish, would flee from Germany. Others included – Einstein Adorno, Bartok, Brecht, Busch, Gödel, Gropius, Gombrich, Hayek, Kleiber, Mann, Perutz, Popper, Schoenberg, Schwitters, Walter, who were forced from Germany and Austria by fleeing to England, and to other parts of Europe not occupied by the Nazis; many Jewish intellectuals like Einstein would end up in America. Books by Freud and Einstein were condemned by the Nazis as the product of “Jewish science” and were some of the first to be burned, usually by college students at the university once the Nazis took over Germany.
There exists a particular irony about the death of Freud who in a de facto sense also became a causality of war; a war which he exceedingly feared because Freud didn’t understand war, nor Hitler’s obsession against the Jews, nor could he fit World War II in to the little box of his psychopathological paradigm – a genocidal, psychotic Pandora’s Box Hitler would unleash upon civilization. Freud would die three weeks after Hitler’s blitzkrieg was unleashed upon Poland starting World War II during a period when his vexing uncertainties concerning the irrationality prowling behind the facade of civilization were being understood – reaching its nihilist apotheosis with the Holocaust and later Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, Freud’s death did not impede the reception and spreading of his psychopathological worldview. After World War II, numerous Freudian schools emerged to advance psychoanalysis in different ways. Actually, notwithstanding the unyielding and often compelling experiments prompted against almost all of his ideas, Freud’s collective work including his sexual psychopathy worldview has stood the test of time and he has endured as one of the most persuasive and dominate figures in the global marketplace of ideas in now three centuries – late 1800s, 1900s and the 21th century.

Epilogue to Dystopian Millennials

Freud believed that he had demonstrated “the psychical origins of religious ideas” in “the terrifying …helplessness in childhood [that] aroused the need for protection – for protection through love – which was provided by the father,” and that religious ideas are therefore “illusions, fulfillments of the oldest, strongest, and most urgent wishes of mankind.” Despite the fact that many of Freud’s psychoanalytic theories have today been revised or considered fraudulent, misogynist, unsustainable and untrue by modern science and psychiatric literature, nevertheless Freud’s irrational evolution atheism and maniacal hatred of religion, history, hierarchy and moral traditions remain conventional thinking in law, philosophy and politics. Moreover, Freud’s anti-religious obsession has been accepted and adopted into public policy by modern-day liberals, progressives and socialists, into whose education atheism has been infused not only in every aspect of public and private education curriculum and the higher academy, but also Freud’s legacy is found permeated throughout American judicial opinion, popular culture, art, music and society (e.g., the hedonist revolutions of the Hippies, ‘Flower Children,’ Yippies and Millennials).

What do Millennials have in common with Progressives, the Democrat Socialist Party, including President Obama? I believe (largely because of Obama’s seven-year economic recession) they both have a depressed, dystopian worldview and generally don’t believe that their life will be better than their parents’. And like Freud, Progressives and Millennials are by nature Dystopian Socialists who have been zealous (if unwitting) advocates of taking Freud’s perverse legacy of emotional psychosis and sexual psychopathy to brand new nihilistic ends.

How else could one interpret the social policies of modern times like abortion on demand, partial birth abortion, the rise of ISIS who promote and the rape of children as young 8-years-old, same-sex marriage, the homosexual and LGBT revolution where surely the Supreme Court will doubtless redefine marriage as between two men and two women, the radical feminist movement (who outwardly parted with Freud, yet vindicated Freud’s case studies on “penis envy”). Freud’s perverted legacy can be seen in the Marxist Occupy Wall Street protesters who defecated and had sex in the streets, and the modern amoral trends exposing our children to greater and more extreme forms of anti-religious obsession together with the retrenchment of America’s Judeo-Christian traditions and the moral authority of the church, thus leading to emotional psychosis and degeneration, repression, manifested in increasing cases of societal sexual psychopathy and psychosexual depravity.

This is just a small part of Sigmund Freud’s tragic, hedonistic and perverted legacy to humanity and society. What will you do to stop it?

Epilogue II—Edward Bernays: Sigmund Freud’s Nephew and the Father of Modern Mass Marketing (aka Public Relations, aka CIA MK Ultra Mind Control)

In an extended essay I wrote on Sigmund Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays titled – Greg Reese: Crimes Against Humanity – 100 Years of Mass Mind Control (Sept. 5, 2020), I wanted to draw the paradoxical corollary of a man when have essentially allowed to create a new form of “Psychology” he called Psychoanalysis to scientifically control the mind. By “control” Freud’s intent was to pervert and to manipulate. A generation later his nephew, Edward Bernays made a career by creating a new form of mind control called “Public Relations” aka Mass Marketing or more sinister, CIA MK Ultra Mind Control, a multipronged Democidal project against Humanity that is still funded and still active in every aspect of American Culture and Society TO THIS DAY!

 

 

 

A Brief History of 100 Years Mass Mind Control in America by Greg Reese

[TRANSCRIPT]

“Psychology is the scientific study of the mind, and in an enlightened society it would be taught at elementary school, but we’re not in an enlightened society. In simple terms, each human being is made up of 3 personas—Body, Mind and Spirit—each one with its own desires. And the goal of individual self-mastery is to serve the desire of the Spirit. This takes great discipline because as we are about to discuss our mind innately seeks to control us. There is Psychology and there is Group Psychology. In Group Psychology an individual will suppress all desires that are deemed unacceptable by the group. These suppressed desires will invariably control a person without them even knowing.”

“This is nothing new. Machiavelli instructed leaders centuries ago to divide the people into groups in order to weaken and to control them. Those in power have known this for millennia. The Yoga Sutras outlined the process of overcoming this thousands of years ago. It taught how a person could become enlightened to the true nature of the mind and liberate themselves from unwanted influence. The ancient writings of Sumer described a ruling class [Anunnaki] which kept its power by keeping mankind spiritually repressed.”

“100 years ago, Sigmund Freud introduced this knowledge to the modern world. He wrote, “The biggest obstacle from liberating yourself from ego was Group Mind. Because in order for the individual to examine themselves completely one must question everything including the group.” The Ego Mind has always been obsessed with identity and by nature it seeks approval or control within the group. The key to manipulating the masses is to keep them ensnared in Group Mind.”

 

“Freud’s work held the key to individual enlightenment and was met with strong disinterest by the ruling class of Austria who had no interest in the liberation of the individual mind.”

“Edward Bernays however, Freud’s nephew and protégé, found strong interest for his uncle’s work in America. In the early 1900s the U.S. government and corporate America employed Bernays not to liberate the individual from Group Mind, but to keep us enslaved in it and to manipulate our thoughts and behavior. In 1927, Paul Mazur of Lehman Brothers infamously wrote that, “We must shift America from a needs to a desire culture… Man’s desires must overcome his needs.”

 

 

“The overall strategy was to divide the public and stimulate irrational desires. The way to achieve this goal is by use of the media. A new reality was designed with the specific intention of making people more anxious, afraid, and aroused. Keep us in an unending, irrational Fight or Flight state of mind where we only find solace in Group Mind conformity.”

 

 

“All of this has been done without our awareness and by 1975 the CIA had infiltrated all areas of news media. For example, examine this testimony of the CIA Director by Idaho Senator Frank Church (D-ID), Chairman of the Select Committee to Study Government Operations (aka “Church Committee” [1975])—

 

 

In other words, the world you know is not really “Real” in an eternal sense of the word, but Reality is a version of a grand diabolical construct – a Geopolitical Matrix Slavery orchestrated by the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia in one form or another over the past 2,000 years (perhaps as much as 6,000 years ago to the Garden of Eden [e.g., from the “beginning”]) to steal our Liberty and to enslave the world. Throughout all societal institutions, the Khazarian Mafia has built this Grand Illusion based not on Reality but construct ideas and fake Man-made institutions created to support what the Nazis called a Weltanschauung (Nazi Worldview) and Gleichschaltung (lit. “coordination”, “synchronization”, “forcing together”, “Nazification of State and Society”, i.e., One-World Government, New World Order) based on systemic Perversion and Delusion, Narcissism and Nihilism, Communism and Perpetual Chattel/Debt-Slavery. 

 

*N.B.: The two statements above are emblematic of a Zionism Weltanschauung (e.g., Nazi worldview) then and now which world domination through a “One World Government” or a Satanic New World Order will be finally achieved through a series of False Flag, systematic, Machiavellian tactics and strategies collectively referred to in Nazi philosophy and propaganda as Gleichschaltung—the consolidation or forcing together of all political, educational and cultural institutions. Also note that both statements in the memes above contain the underpinnings of “Perpetual War” (Trotsky philosophy) to achieve the evil, democidal objectives of Zionism, Socialism and Globalism. Sigmund Freud and his prodigy nephew Edward Bernays were just two small cogs in the massive machinery euphemistically called the “Deep State” whose sole purpose is to keep you locked inside the voluntary prison of the Matrix or CIA MK Ultra Mind Control.
