ALTERED STATE FASH ACTORS (Pt. I): Hypnotherapy, Automatic Writing, Ether Polka, Pelley, and the Rise of American Fascism—Comp. Paranoid Analysis of Nazi Occultism

Welcome back to ParaPower Mapping. The description's going to be relatively brief (only temporarily, will return to give the full PPM liner notes treatment), as I'm hurriedly uploading this EP while I have WiFi before I have to get back on the road.  Subscribe to the PPM Patreon: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping This is the first installment of a multipart interlude in our Comp. Paranoid Analysis of Nazi Occultism—Pt. II is close behind. We continue w/ our retelling of the metamorphosis of William Dudley Pelley, this time plumbing the depths, combing for possible repressed materials & unconscious memories of hypnotization that may have slipped through the veil of his "Seven Minutes in Eternity". From there, we plummet through the medical machinery that recycled the war neurotic doughboys of WWI into placid-eyed, strikebreaking stormtroopers for the capitalist-enforcing paramilitary founded by the very same industrialists who planned the Wall St. Putsch. Our nosedive through the intersections of the American Legion; their lobbying & fundraising work to bring a slate of brand new psych hospitals for veterans into existence in the post-war years; the influence that wealthy industrialists, military careerists, & figures like Wild Bill Donovan, founding father of the CIA, had on these efforts; and the use of hypnotherapy on shell shocked patients will, ultimately, bring us to the inevitable question of whether the American Legion & military hypnotherapy is a part of the same mind control lineage as Project ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, & MK-ULTRA.  Along the way we'll dig into the ether addiction epidemic in Poland and automatic writing's influence on culture & William Dudley Pelley's transmutation. NOTE: Apologies if the audio is a little wonky in places &/or there are more ambient sounds than usual. Recorded these two EPs in hotel conference & bedrooms, and it was a PAIN, lemme tell ya.  Songs:  | Scott Walker - "Opening" (The Childhood of a Leader OST) |  | Andrew Sisters - "Beer Barrel Polka" |   | PJ Harvey - "When Under Ether" |
