The same tactics were used by Tavistock’s social scientists to get the US into World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Serbia and the two wars against Iraq. Tavistock began as a propaganda creation and dissemination organisation at Wellington House, London, in the run-up to the First World War, what Toynbee called ‘that black hole of disinformation’. On another occasion, Toynbee described Wellington House as a ‘factory of lies’. From somewhat rudimentary beginnings, Wellington House became the Tavistock Institute and shaped the destinies of Germany, Russia, Britain and the United States in a very controversial way. The people of these nations did not know that they were being ‘brainwashed’. The origins of ‘mind control’, ‘inner directional conditioning’ and mass ‘brainwashing’ are explained in an easy-to-understand book written with great authority.
