WOW! FEAR
OF NEW WORLD ORDER IS NOW A RECOGNIZED MENTAL ILLNESS
Journal of Clinical
Psychiatry
Having
the patient committed to a qualified mental health institution is the best
option for family and loved ones. For this reason, all psychiatrists and
family physicians should be provided with educational materials which will
help them recognize the various symptoms and warning signs accompanying
onset. Since comparatively little is known about Anti-Government Phobia
at the present time, a government-funded health commission should be set
up to oversee, and help focus, future research.
Incidence and Etiology
Although
certain variants of the illness have been around for many years, it is
only in the last decade or so that the more virulent and infectious strains
have appeared. This is most likely due to the rapid buildup of government,
at all levels, during the 1980’s. Closely paralling this trend was an explosion
in the number of cases in which individuals were diagnosed as having unfounded
fears concerning such.
Clinical
Manifestations and Diagnosis Anti-Government Phobia is marked by extreme
suspiciousness toward government. Onset is acute. Symptoms start almost
immediately after a run-in with some agency or institution of the government,
or when the patient is introduced to anti-government propaganda, in one
form or another, by a self-styled “patriot.” Common ways in which this
harmful, anti-government propaganda is spread include: books, pamphlets,
magazines, newspapers, audiotapes, videotapes, short-wave and conventional
radio programs, computer bulletin boards, and various Internet sites.
Upon
exposure to “patriotic” propaganda, the patient mysteriously begins to
imagine hidden links between unrelated current events, weaving these gross
distortions of reality into a complex delusional web; a labyrinth of conspiracy
theories with all imagined clues leading straight to the federal government.
With further exposure, the patient becomes increasingly paranoid, and slowly
withdrawals from reality. However, mental deterioration is usually so gradual
that the patient is often unaware of it.
This
mysterious malady progresses until the patient invariably assumes a staunch
“us against them” mentality. For instance, in the patient’s warped mind-set,
each new piece of gun-control legislation is oddly rationalized to be merely
one additional step in an ultimate plot by the federal government to confiscate
guns altogether. In some unusually severe cases, the patient assumes a
survivalist mentality, stockpiling guns, ammunition, de-hydrated food,
and other “essentials,” in preparation for “D-Day” or “Armageddon.”
At
this stage, the patient also inexplicity experiences increased delusional
thinking. For instance, he may start fallaciously believing that the Federal
Reserve is not in fact part of the federal government, but is instead controlled
by wealthy Zionists. Other far-flung delusions may involve the United Nations,
“black helicopters,” concentration camps, or the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR). Delusions involving “takeovers” by foreign military troops, or jack-booted
government storm troopers dressed in all black, are also commonly diagnosed.
Anti-Government
Phobia is often associated with religious fanaticism. An excellent example
of this is the infamous Branch Davidian case, in which most cult members
preferred a fiery suicide over peaceful surrender to the forces of what
they considered to be “Mystery Babylon.” There have been other prominant
cases in which “patriots” have became involved with terrorist activity,
fallaciously believing that they were somehow doing the “will of God.”
More commonly, “patriots” have been involved in aggressive outbursts in
courtrooms, and other public places such as town-hall meetings.
Overall,
the worldview eventually adopted byexp “patriots” interprets modern-day
news events as pieces of a giant jig-saw puzzle. Oddly, they believe that
it is their solemn duty to put these unrelated pieces together in order
to discover the underlying “picture.” The warped interpretive framework
used by many “patriots” in their missionary-like endeavor of saving the
lost “sheep” (derogatory term comparing non-patriots to lost sheep) is
a hyper-literal interpretation of Biblical prophecies, particularly those
contained in the book of Revelation.
Spread of the Illness
A
strong analogy can be drawn between “patriotic” indoctrination and patterns
of religious conversion. In both cases, ultra-idealistic individuals believe
that it is their solemn duty to gain proselytes for their particular faith.
This is usually done on a person-to-person basis with a friend or acquaintance.
To keep new converts from going astray or “backsliding,” they are eagerly
provided with a steady stream of propaganda. In each case, the devotee
imagines that there is an evil, sinister force which must be opposed at
all costs. In the case of various religions, the faithful are supposedly
rewarded in the afterlife for sparring with the “devil.” In the case of
the “patriot,” the so-called “New World Order” is viewed as the demonic
bogeyman, with the reward for opposing it supposedly being an increased
amount of “personal freedom.” In both “patriotic” and religious circles,
there is an entire counter-culture, centering around various anthems and
holy books, constantly being promoted by prophets, preachers, and paranoid
propagandists of all creeds, colors, and strains.
Prevention
Family
members and loved ones can help out in this effort. However, it should
be noted that prevention programs work best only when the entire community
is involved. We all need to practice constant vigilance in order to spot
diviseness and hate in our communities. In this regard, networking is the
ultimate key to success. A successful community-based empowerment program
would include the following elements: citizen-citizen networks, police-citizen
networks, parent-teacher networks, pastor-parisoner networks, doctor-patient
networks, state-local law enforcement authority networks, and federal-state
law enforcement authority networks.
Treatment and Prognosis
It
can not be over-emphasized that prevention is the key to stopping the spread
of Anti-Government Phobia. Once a person is infected, the illness is generally
incurable. The only proven treatment is an extended, and often risky, “de-programming”
session conducted by qualified professionals, such as the Cult Awareness
Network (CAN). Left untreated, chronic symptoms invariably persist throughout
the entire lifetime of the patient. Sadly, even the patients themselves
realize this horrifying fact and surprisingly, seem apathetic to it. Oddly,
they often confuse their symptoms with being “awake.” For instance, they
have been known to garble gibberish such as “once your awake, you can’t
go back to sleep.” Further research is presently being conducted on the
reasons why they rationalize their mental illness in this highly unusual
manner.
