Secret History #6: The Psychology of Evil (Graphic and Disturbing, Viewer Discretion Advised)

Four earliest mass civilizations developed distinct social control mechanisms: China (bureaucracy via civil service exams), Indus Valley Civilization (egalitarian religion becoming Buddhism), Mesopotamia (perpetual warfare), and Egypt (divine Pharaoh).

Leaders throughout history, including modern figures like Putin and Trump, demonstrate three core skills: unpredictability, high stress tolerance, and lack of empathy. These aren’t taught in leadership courses but define successful rulers across millennia.

Leaders, spies, and elite power players who navigate complex webs of secret alliances require multiple personalities to operate effectively. Intelligence agencies specifically recruit for dissociative capacity because it provides strategic advantages.

Egyptian priests developed mythology not as stories to believe but as scripts to enact, programming Pharaohs through ritualized trauma into three distinct identities: Ra (virtuous hero), Osiris (passive victim), and Horus (vengeful child).

Ancient Egyptian priests pioneered techniques rediscovered by modern intelligence agencies: using drugs, trauma, and ritual to create programmable humans. The analogy used is training someone as “the best soccer player” then erasing memory but preserving muscle memory.

Egyptian royal families and priest classes deliberately induced near-death experiences through drowning, starvation, and dismemberment. Tens of thousands of modern people reporting NDEs after accidents provide comparative data confirming consistent phenomenology across cultures and eras.

CIA-funded psychologists received $80 million developing enhanced interrogation programs after 9/11. Abu Zubaydah’s testimony reveals treatment mirroring Egyptian mythology: force-feeding, strangling, coffin confinement, drowning, power-drill dismemberment simulation, and sexual humiliation. Many tortured prisoners later became ISIS fighters.

CIA chemist Sydney Gottlieb led MK-Ultra during the 1950s-60s, conducting mind control experiments on unwitting American citizens, especially children. The program tested drugs, hypnosis, and brainwashing techniques. Most sensitive documentation was destroyed, but declassified documents confirm the program’s existence.
