RUSH: Something in the New York Post yesterday, a story by Kyle Smith. You remember the woman who had personality disorder, Sybil? Made a movie out of it? Total hoax. A total fraud. Never happened. Made up by the author and some psychiatrists for fun and profit. And since then there have been 40,000 cases of multiple personality disorder diagnosed. After the story of Sybil was published, multiple personality disorder became an officially recognized diagnosis, 40,000 unfortunate patients being diagnosed. Sybil was a real person, but her case and her story was a 100%, 24-karat hoax. And Kyle Smith wrote about it in the New York Post yesterday. <\/p>\n
So here we have a real-life recent case of an agenda-driven hoax becoming scientific consensus and a popularly accepted concept that real decisions were based on. Sound familiar? Sound familiar, folks? Does it not sound exactly like what\u2019s happened with global warming? <\/p>\n
It was all a scam. It was all a scam. “Sybil\u00c2\u2019s real name was Shirley Mason. She was a jittery girl who grew up quivering in a Minnesota family of Seventh-day Adventists who believed that the world was about to end and that any fiction divorced from God\u00c2\u2019s truth was a sin. As a little girl, she was so terrified of God\u00c2\u2019s watchful eye that, when she made up stories, she hid this habit from her parents. She was also made to participate in a health fad of the day, the ‘internal bath,\u2019 or enema. She developed a germ phobia and at one point examined her hands obsessively.<\/p>\n
“As a student in New York City in the 1950s, she met a Park Avenue therapist named Cornelia ‘Connie\u2019 Wilbur. The two women adored each other even as Connie gradually got Shirley hooked on a series of ‘therapeutic\u2019 drugs, many of them new and seemingly wondrous, including Seconal, Demerol, Edrisal and Daprisal. (The last two were so addictive that they were soon banned.) Connie also strongly believed in giving patients Pentothal, which invariably got them blabbing, sometimes about fantasies that could not possibly have occurred.<\/p>\n
Okay, fine and dandy. Big deal. No, it is a big deal because this is exactly how we\u2019re being played. How many other hoaxes and frauds, particularly in psychotherapy? What about ADD, attention deficit disorder, restless leg syndrome, all of these things, all of these maladies. I know, even now as you listen to me you\u2019re getting mad at me. If you have restless leg, “It\u2019s real, Rush!” Attention deficit disorder, parents, just telling you, folks — (interruption) all women have multiple personality disorder if you want to get down to brass tacks, but not in a clinical sense. You never know what you\u2019re gonna get from day to day, but I mean that\u2019s the fun of it, that\u2019s the stereotypical caricature. These people perpetrated a hoax. Forty thousand women were diagnosed with this thing. <\/p>\n
Let me put it this way, it\u2019s not hard to find people who want to believe they\u2019re screwed up and need help. You know how easy that is? And you know how profitable it is? You know how many people that are easily manipulated, tell \u2019em that they\u2019re screwed up \u2019cause everybody thinks they\u2019re screwed up and everybody wants to be fixed from it. And everybody thinks it\u2019s a trip to the shrink away or a drug or what have you. If you look at this again the way it all shook out, after the story of Sybil was published, multiple personality disorder became an officially recognized diagnosis, 40,000 patients were diagnosed with this. It doesn\u2019t exist. It turns out the story of Sybil was a 100% hoax. So here we have a real live recent case of an agenda-driven hoax becoming scientific consensus, quote, unquote, and a popularly accepted concept that real decisions were based on, real lives were affected. <\/p>\n
I have to tell you, I was not surprised whatsoever. The lack of trust that I have for anything, any institution dominated by liberals is hard to quantify. My level of distrust is so high — media, science, education, I don\u2019t care where you go, those people have corrupted and polluted every institution they run, and we see the results wherever we look in this country. The United States Congress, the White House, you name it, wherever they have dominated for a significant amount of time, you have perverse corruption, lies, outright fraud and hoaxes all for the express purpose of controlling people, all because they want to control everybody. <\/p>\n
