I wish also to express my confidence in the
future of the free nations of earth. Although the
Soviet has found a chink in the armor of
individual liberty, it is certain that Democratic
processes can mend it. That only the individual
himself can protest against assault and injury
to him before law, joined with the fact that the
insane have no rights before law, has
permitted in itself this deep ingress into our
country's security. So long as this legal hole
exists, there is then no law against driving
anyone insane, even though this action deals
as finally with a person as does murder. The
existence today of highly efficient drugs such
as LSD, one-millionth of an ounce of which can
create insanity, brings this legal loophole into
focus. By enacting legislation permitting a
friend or next of kin to bring charges in case of
assault, and by quickly placing all treatment of
and institutions for the insane in the hands of
ministers, taking it entirely out of the hands of
European indoctrinated practitioners, the entire
effort of Psychopoiltics can be nullified at once.
