The Alarming Outbreak of 'Anti-Government' Phobia

by Daniel J. Kuehne (from the October 1996 issue of The Nationalist Times)

Many psychologists consider fear of government to be some sort of mental illness. Although I have never seen any of the scientific literature on this subject, if I had to guess, I would say that it probably resembles the following:

A CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT PHOBIA

(Also known as: Patriot's Psychosis, Patriot's Disease)

by Ivor E. Tower, M.D.

Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

Volume 11, Series 3, Pages 4-5

INCIDENCE AND ETIOLOGY

Anti-Government Phobia (AGP) has a worldwide distribution, but has a particularly high incidence in the United States. Infection rates are estimated by mental health officials to be about 5% of the general population, and this rate is growing at an alarming rate. Rates are highest, but not limited to, those who are disaffected in some fashion, especially those who have a strong personal grudge against the federal government for one reason or another.

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, shortwave 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 so gradual that the patient is often unaware of it. The illness progresses until the patient eventually assumes a staunch "us against them" mentality. For instance, in the patient's warped mindset, each new piece of gun-control legislation is rationalized to be one more step in an ultimate plot by the federal government to confiscate guns altogether. In severe cases, the patient assumes a survivalist mentality, stocking up on dehydrated food, guns, ammunition, and other "essentials."

As the illness continues to progress, the patient experiences increased delusional thinking. For instance, he may start believing that the Federal Reserve is not part of the federal government, but is instead owned by wealthy Zionists. Other delusions may involve the United Nations, concentration camps, or the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

Anti-Government Phobia is often associated with religious fanaticism. An excellent example of this is the infamous Brach Davidian case, in which many cult members preferred a fiery suicide over peaceful surrender to the forces of "Babylon." There have been other cases in which "patriots" have become involved with terrorist activity, fallaciously thinking that they were doing the "will of God." More commonly, "patriots" have been involved in aggressive outbursts in courtrooms, and in other public places such as town hall meetings.

SPREAD OF THE ILLNESS

In the eyes of the so-called "patriots," the relentless attempt to indoctrinate others with extremist beliefs is seen as a righteous and compulsory act to save their "self-destructing" nation. Wildly fantasizing that America can somehow turn back the clock to better times, which in reality never existed, "patriots" begin to quote constantly from the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Indepedence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Ironically (and tragically), when "patriots" expose others to their anti- government propaganda, they are actually infecting them with an extremely contagious mental illness.

TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS

Generally speaking, Anti-Government Phobia is incurable. The only proven treatment for this illness is an extended, and risky, "de-programming" session conducted by trained professionals. Left untreated, chronic symptoms persist throughout the lifetime of the patient. Sadly, even the patients themselves realize this horrifying fact, and, surprisingly, they do not even seem to care. Strangely, they confuse their symptoms with being "awake." For instance, they have been quoted as saying things such as: "Once you're awake, you can't go back to sleep." Further research is presently being conducted on the reasons why they rationalize their illness in this unusual manner.

Poster Comments:
Enjoy.
This article is satire. Keyword search shows there is no such article published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. It contains no references and does not cite the NIH award number that was supposedly used to fund it. All publicly-funded, peer-reviewed research must contain references and funding acknowledgments. Beyond that, it is simply ridiculous. Look carefully at the name of the author: Ivor E. Tower, M.D. :)

Gee, isn't that what the Soviet Union did to dissenters back in the day?

It's telling that you advocate it for those who cherish liberty.
