“cause” (causal thinking never yields accurate description of metabolic process – limitations of existing language) of schizophrenia. Alternate doses of LSD6 and bulbocapnine – the bulbocapnine potientiated with curare – give the highest yield of automatic obedience.
    ‘There are other procedures. The subject can be reduced to deep depression by administeringlarge doses of benzedrine for several days. Psychosis can be induced by continual large doses of cocaine or demerol or by the abruptwithdrawal of barbiturates after prolonged administration. He can be addicted by dihydro-oxy-heroin and subjected to withdrawal (this compound should be five times as addicting as heroin, and the withdrawal proportionately severe).
    ‘There are various “psychologicalmethods,” compulsory psychoanalysis, for example. The subject is requested to free-associate for one hour every day (in cases where time is not of the essence). “Now, now. Let’s not be negative, boy. Poppa call nasty man. Take baby walkabout switchboard.”
    ‘The case of a female agent who forgot her real identity and merged with her cover story – she is still a fricteuse in Annexia – put me ontoanother gimmick. An agent is trained to deny his agent identity by asserting his cover story. So why not use psychic jiu-jitsu and go along with him? Suggest that his cover story is his identity and that he has no other. His agent identity becomes unconscious, that is, out of his control; and you can dig it with drugs and hypnosis. You can make a square heterosex citizen queer with this angle …that is, reinforce and second his rejection of normally latent homosexual trends – at the same time depriving him of cunt and subjecting him to homosex stimulation. Then drugs, hypnosis, and –’ Benway flipped a limp wrist.
    ‘Many subjects are vulnerable to sexual humiliation. Nakedness, stimulation with aphrodisiacs, constant supervision to embarrass subject and prevent relief of masturbation(erections during sleep automatically turn on an enormous vibrating electric buzzer that throws the subject out of bed into cold water, thus reducing the incidence of wet dreams to a minimum). Kicks to hypnotize a priest and tell him he is about to consummate a hypostatic union with the Lamb – then steer a randy old sheep up his ass. After that the Interrogator can gain complete hypnotic control –the subject will come at his whistle, shit on the floor ifhe but say Open Sesame. Needless to say, the sex humiliation angle is contraindicated for overt homosexuals. (I mean let’s keep our eye on the ball here and remember the old party line … never know who’s listening in.) I recall this one kid, I condition to shit at sight of me. Then I wash his ass and screw him. It was real tasty. And hewas a lovely fellah too. And some times a subject will burst into boyish tears because he can’t keep from ejaculate when you screw him. Well, as you can plainly see, the possibilities are endless like meandering paths in a great big beautiful garden. I was just scratching that lovely surface when I am urged by Party Poops … Well, “son cosas de la vida.”’
    I reach Freeland, which is clean and dullmy God. Benway is directing the R.C., Reconditioning Center. I drop around, and, ‘What happened to so and so?’ sets in like: ‘Sidi Idriss “The Nark” Smithers crooned to the Senders for a longevity serum. No fool like an old queen.’ ‘Lester Stroganoff Smuunn – “El Hassein” – turned himself into a Latah trying to perfect A.O.P., Automatic Obedience Processing. A martyr to the industry …’ (Latahis a condition occurring in Southeast Asia. Otherwise sane, Latahs compulsively imitate every motion once their attention is attracted by snapping the fingers or calling sharply. A form of compulsive involuntary hypnosis. They sometimes injure themselves trying to imitate the motions of several people at once.)
