that they determine the breaking point of the soldier under combat 

conditions. The Tavistock Institute was taken over by Sir John Rawlings 

Reese, head of the British Army Psychological Warfare Bureau. A cadre 

of highly trained specialists in psychological warfare was built up in 

total secrecy. In fifty years, the name "Tavistock Institute’ appears only 

twice in the Index of the New York Times, yet this group, according to 

LaRouche and other authorities, organized and trained the entire staffs 

of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the Strategic Bombing Survey, 

Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, and other 

key American military groups during World War II. During World War II, 

the Tavistock Institute combined with the medical sciences division of 

the Rockefeller Foundation for esoteric experiments with mind-altering 

drugs. The present drug culture of the United States is traced in its 

entirety to this Institute, which supervised the Central Intelligence 

Agency’s training programs. The "LSD counter culture" originated when 

Sandoz A.G., a Swiss pharmaceutical house owned by S.G. Warburg & 

Co., developed a new drug from lysergic acid, called LSD. James Paul 

Warburg (son of Paul Warburg who had written the Federal Reserve 

Act in 1910), financed a subsidiary of the Tavistock Institute in the 

United States called the Institute for Policy Studies, whose director, 

Marcus Raskin, was appointed to the National Security Council. James 

Paul Warburg set up a CIA program to experiment with LSD on CIA 

agents, some of whom later committed suicide. This program, MK-Ultra, 

supervised by Dr. Gottlieb, resulted in huge lawsuits against the United 

States Government by the families of the victims.

The Institute for Policy Studies set up a campus subsidiary, Students for 

Democratic Society (SDS), devoted to drugs and revolution. Rather
