After word

By Dr. Richard A. Gabriel

Author, No More Heroes: Madness and Psychiatry in War

Lewis Perdue's fascinating new book, Perfect Killer, is the first attempt in the popular literature to bring to the attention of the public a major problem facing modern armies, particularly, the U.S. army now committed to combat in Iraq.

The intensity of modern war, especially the close urban combat in which the American Army now finds itself engaged, produces high levels of stress and fear which cause most soldiers (more than 80%!) not to fire their weapons as they seek to avoid the natural human revulsion to killing another human being. Over time, prolonged fear and the revulsion to killing produce high levels of psychiatric casualties that threaten to cripple combat efficiency. The military's response has been to seek chemical means to solve the problem. These attempts, and the threats they pose to the soldier's humanity, are the important subjects treated in Perdue's book as he attempts to bring these issues to the attention of the American public.

The idea of trying to control the soldier's fear through chemical means so that he may kill more efficiently is very old indeed, beginning at least two thousand years before Rome when the Koyak and Wiros tribes of Central Russia perfected a powerful amphetamine drug from the Amanita Muscaria mushroom which rendered the soldier highly resistant to pain and exhaustion even as it stimulated him to greater physical endurance. In the Thirteenth Century the Crusaders fought a band of Moslem warriors known as the hashhashin, so called because they used hashish prior to battle to reduce fear and control pain. The Spanish conquistador, Juan Pizzaro, fought Inca warriors whose resistance to pain and fear was increased by chewing the coca leaf from which cocaine is derived. From its earliest days the British navy has given its sailors rum before and after battle, and the Russian army in both World Wars provided their soldiers with a number of chemical compounds derived from plants (valeriana) to improve their fighting ability. During the Vietnam War, American soldiers routinely used marijuana, alcohol, and hard drugs like heroin to help them overcome the fear and stress of battle.

But what modern armies have in mind far surpasses anything tried in the past. Biology and chemistry have combined in the modern age to produce the science of biochemistry. Armed with this new knowledge, the military research establishments of the United States, Russia, and Israel have set for themselves the task of abolishing fear in the soldier to make him a more efficient killing machine. The next revolution in military power will occur not in weapons technology, but in biochemistry that will make it possible for soldiers to better endure the conditions of modern war. If the search is successful, and it almost inevitably will be, the fear of killing and death will be banished and with it will go man's humanity and his soul. The chemical soldier will become a terrifying reality.

The advent of the chemical solider will change not only the nature and intensity of warfare, but the psychological nature of man himself. A chemical compound that prevents the onset of anxiety while leaving the individual mentally alert will produce a new kind of human being, one who would retain the cognitive elements of his emotions but would be unable to feel emotion. All emotions, not just fear, are based in anxiety. Remove the onset of anxiety, and the interaction between cognitive and physiological aspects of human emotion vanish. And with them what we know as the soul would be destroyed. We are left with a genuine sociopath ic personality induced by chemical means. The sociopath ic personality is one who clearly knows what he is doing to another person but cannot feel or appreciate the consequences of his action upon another person. Such personalities often cannot prevent themselves from acting even though they know (but cannot feel) what the consequences of their actions might be. They are unable to display loyalty to others, are grossly selfish, are unable to feel guilt or remorse or appreciate the consequences of their actions. The sociopath ic personality functions only on the cognitive plane of his emotions and is incapable of human empathy. The chemical soldier will be a true sociopath.

Abolishing fear and the natural revulsion humans have to killing other humans will change the nature of man and war, and it will be achieved simply by increasing the "human potential" of the combat soldier. Frightened and revulsed soldiers don't kill very well. Studies have shown that little more than 15 to 20 percent of soldiers will fire their weapons at other soldiers. But if the chemical means of controlling fear and revulsion to killing succeed in, say only seventy five percent of the cases, then the killing capacity of soldiers under fire will increase by 400 percent! The killing efficiency of crew served weapons will also increase. The number of psychiatric cases will be diminished greatly but at the cost of exponentially increasing the number of dead and wounded on all sides.

In a war of chemical soldiers military units, once engaged, will be unable to disengage. In earlier battles, both sides absorbed as much death as they could until fear and exhaustion broke one side's spirit, at which point one side ran or surrendered. Fear and revulsion put real limits on the ability of units to attack and defend. But the chemical soldier will fight without fear and revulsion to limit the killing. Battles once joined will proceed until one side has been entirely killed or wounded. Without fear and empathy to stop or at least limit the carnage, battles will be fought to the death because there will no longer be any human reason to stop them. The battle of annihilation, once rare, will become the norm.

Without fear, revulsion, and psychiatric collapse to force soldiers to surrender, units will resist to the last man. This will force the attackers to kill all the defenders, or vice versa, in a sterile exercise in military slaughter. The defenders will be unable to surrender and the attackers unable to offer surrender, for the reasons for surrender--fear of death, overwhelming revulsion at the carnage, or psychiatric collapse--will no longer arise in the chemically altered personalities of the soldiers involved. The empathy of human for human will have vanished and with it the need to spare even the wounded.

For the chemical soldiers traditional military virtues will have neither function nor meaning. Qualities such as courage, bravery, endurance, and sacrifice for others have meaning only in human terms. Heroes are those who can endure or control fear beyond the limits usually expected of sane men. Brave men are those who conquer fear. Sacrifice for one's comrades can only have meaning when one fears death and accepts it because it will permit others to live. But if fear is eliminated by chemical means, there will be nothing over which the soldier can triumph. The standards of normal sane men will be eroded, and soldiers will no longer die for anything understandable or meaningful in human terms. They will simply die, and even their own comrades will be incapable of mourning their deaths.

The moral paradox of the chemical soldier is that in order for him to function effectively on the modern battlefield he must be psychically reconstituted to become what we have traditionally defined as mentally ill! He must be chemically made over into a sociopath ic personality in the true clinical sense of the term. The battlefields of the future will witness a clash of truly ignorant armies, armies ignorant of their own emotions and even of the reasons for which they fight. Battle itself will be incomprehensible in normal human terms. Once the chemical genie is out of the bottle, the full range of human mental and physical potentialities become subjects for further chemical manipulation. The search to improve the military potential of the human being will further press the limits of humanity itself. Such "human potential engineering" is already a partial reality and the necessary technical knowledge increases every day. Faceless, if well-meaning, military medical researchers press the limits of their discipline with little or no regard for the consequences. We may be rushing headlong into a long, dark chemical night from which there is no return unless the American public, the press, and opinion makers are made aware of the problem and decide to stop it. Lewis Perdue's, The Perfect Killer, is one way in which large numbers of the American people can be made aware of the problem.

David Petreaus, he is the Army General in charge of and has the power to send our brave kids in Iraq to their deaths, started worrying me when I read he was building Iraq's Army with Saddam Hussein Sunni Baathist communi$t soldiers. His Wikipedia story has some red flags and a reference to a hot shot Paul Wolfowiz Neocon type named Richard A. Gabriel, a lying zioni$t - Grabriel says he is a Catholic and he is obviously not. Page 1 "Jesus the Egyptian" " I (Richard A. Gabriel) cannot say with any exactitude just when it was that I began to realize that some of the religious beliefs which here to fore I had associated with my own Catholic faith bore a remarkable similarity to those developed by Egyptian theologians more than two millennium before Jesus appeared on the stage of history."

There is a real good Catholic named Father Gabriel Richard born in France who ended up in Detroit in 1798 and did well and was a Godly person. In Richard A Gabriel's fantasy world he may see himself as Father Richard. People who read me closely know I hate Paul Wolfowiz - Wolfowiz in my opinion is a fake and if Wolfowiz was not a zioni$t who rabidly hates Gentiles he would not even be involved in the Neocon mess. Richard A. Gabriel would be another zioni$t neardowell wannabe if it wasn't for his rabid hatred of Gentiles, Arabs and Persians. Dr. Gabriel is a PHD and is smart and frightfully, because of his racism, he has taught some of our finest military men at war colleges. Petraeus, David H. (1985), "Review of Richard A. Gabriel's The Antagonists: A Comparative Combat Assessment of the Soviet and American Soldier" In General Petreaus' review of Dr. Gabriel's "The Antagonists," Dr. Gabriel is described as an expert in military matters and also there is mention that Dr. Gabriel has held academic posts at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Catholics don't hold academic posts at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. zioni$t$' teaching our next Army military Generals how to fight wars? A bad idea. It follows that the reason General Petreaus is leading our ground troops in Iraq is zioni$t$' gave him the job provided General Petreaus directs our brave soldiers to kill those people the zioni$t$' want killed, which unfortunately are our brave Gentile soldiers he is commanding, and also Arabs and Persians.

My fears Dr. Gabriel is a racist, Arab Jesus Gentile hater were confirmed when reading his e book entitled "Jesus the Egyptian" Richard A Gabriel eBook. The title of Dr. Gabriel's book "Jesus the Egyptian" caught my attention because I have written that I feel Jesus' parents were Julius Caesar, a Roman, and Cleopatra, an Egyptian with Greek roots. Dr. Gabriel's book starts off with a quote from Joyce Carol Oates. "Homo Sapiens is the species that invent symbols in which to invest passion ( ie Jesus) and then forgets that the symbols are inventions." A logical Dr. Gabriel translation - Jesus is made up, a symbol to invest passion, an invention, a joke.

Basically I feel Dr. Gabriel's book"Jesus the Egyptian" is racist as can be. The theme is the normal and continual zioni$t hang up, by a cult of some Jews, not all Jewish people, hatred of Egyptians. Egyptians are pagans, Jesus is a pagan, Christians are pagans. Dr. Gabriel's book says the Christian religion comes from Egypt. This I find interesting and logical if Jesus' parents are in fact Julius Ceasar and Cleopatra. From "Jesus the Egyptian" Page 105 "The thrust of the ( Dr. Gabriel's) argument to this point is that Christianity derives the major premises of its theology from the Egyptian religious tradition, specifically the Osires-Iris beliefs, that predated Christianity by several millennia."

Dr. Gabriel would disagree with Jesus' parents as Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. Page 105 of the e book "Jesus the Egyptian". "When I (Dr. Gabriel) refer to Jesus as an Egyptian the intention is to draw attention to the fact Jesus theology and ritual practices are drawn from Egyptian tradition, and not to suggest that He was other than an Israelite." Out of one side of Dr. Gabriel's mouth comes the argument Jesus is an Egyptian pagan, out of the other, Jesus, since Jesus is a Godly big deal to 60 % of the people on this planet, is an Israelite. The message - the world thinks Jesus is the greatest but zioni$t$ are much greater than Jesus. Logic dictates Dr. Gabriel would agree with Menachem Begin definition of zioni$m "Our race (speaking of a small cult of Jews) is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves."

Page 105 "Jesus the Egyptian" Dr. Gabriel makes logical arguments. "The protestations of some theologians to the contrary, Christianity did not derive from Judaism of its day for the most basic of reasons that both the theological premises of Judaism and many of its ritual practices stand in stark contradiction to those of Christianity. Judaisn then and now affirmed the existence of a single god, but not one of trinitarian nature; Judaism does not affirm the existence of an eternal soul, nor the possibility of resurrection, a final judgment beyond the grave, or eternal life, ( multiple lives, make sense to Me) propositions fundamental to Christianity, but absent in Judaism. The theological claim that Christianity derived from Judaism has no basis in historical fact or event. The only other possible source of Christian theology is the Egyptian tradition." Dr. Gabriel and I agree on this. However, in my opinion a major reason for some to argue Christianity came from Judaism is propaganda - some Jewish people want Jesus to be an Israelite which He was not by blood. Julius Caesar was killed because he and Cleopatra had a son they claimed was Divine. Cleopatra probably sent their son, who later became Jesus, to Palestine to hide Him and keep Him from being killed. Personally I have zero problem with Christianity coming from some Egyptian and Greek traditions which are Godly. Dr. Gabriel is slick in attributing what he hates most about Egyptians to Jesus. Cleopatra was from Greek blood so she did not teach Jesus Egyptian myth she felt was inGodly. Dr. Gabriel attributes the worst of Egyptian myth to Jesus.

An aside: Julius Caesar and Cleopatra's son was born in 47 BC, so in My opinion Jesus was 47 when He was Crucified. Jesus age at the time of His death, if in fact Jesus is the son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar, interests Me, as I was 47 when the weird events of My life started which eventually have led to My thinking I may be the Returning Christ. Wouldn't God be clever, and powerful, to have Jesus return begin, continue, at the exact age when I, Jesus died, trip One. It is as if Jesus is living one full life, Crucifixtion at 47, and at 47 God opens Jesus' eyes and brings Jesus to life as the Messiah again 1993 years later. If calender changes exist which blow a hole in this scenario, God's calender is the accurate one. It also amazes Me as to the "how and why" link I made between Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, and Jesus. I just knew it and a book on Cleopatra was in My library, just there, and I have no idea how it got there. Also the triumvirate, Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Licinius Crassus, as the three wise men who bring gifts in the manger story, could be a twist, of their bringing gifts to Cleopatra.

In my opinion Dr. Gabriel's book "Jesus the Egyptian" is derogatory of Jesus and Christianity from start to finish and is nothing more than hate mongering in which Dr. Gabriel spends many pages justifying why Jews murdered Jesus. Pages 105 and 106 "Jesus the Egyptian" "It seems clear as well that they (Temple authorities) recognized the Egyptian origins of Jesus' teachings because they had been struggling for more than than two centuries against the corrosive influence of the Serapis-Isis cult whose beliefs must have sounded to the Temple authorities to be indistinguishable from those of Jesus himself." When one uses the term CE, Common Era, which Richard A Gabriel uses, is a sign of hatred of Christianity because referring to Jesus as "common" is a too obvious slur.

Why is the time around Rosh Hashanah a time to expect Mid East expansion of war? Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the Jewish New Year and the time Jewish people make New Year's resolutions. Last year Israel invaded Lebanon around the Jewish New Year. September 11 occurred around Rosh Hashanah 2001. Rosh Hashanah is on us so we can expect an event soon possibly an expansion of Mid East War. The Federal Reserve Fraud owned media knows people watch for events of a world shaking nature to occur around Rosh Hashanah and do not publish events whose significance is bigger than readers realize.

Rosh Hashanah 2006 date sunset, September 22 – sunset, September 24

Red flags indicating David Petreaus may have misgivings about his life. It is my guess General Patreaus realizes zioni$t$' have a ring in his nose that he will end up with sending many of his brave, our brave soldiers to their deaths, because of zioni$t hatred of Gentiles, Arabs, and Persians.

As battalion commander of the Iron Rakkasans, he suffered one of the more dramatic incidents in his career when, in 1991, he was accidentally shot in the chest during a live-fire exercise when a soldier tripped and his rifle discharged. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, where he was operated on by future Senator Bill Frist. The hospital released him early after he did fifty push ups without resting just a few days after the accident. [6][7]

In 2000, Petraeus suffered his second major injury, when, during a civilian skydiving jump, his parachute collapsed at low altitude due to a hook turn, resulting in a hard landing that broke his pelvis.
