Fifteen days ago, we left our home to travel to a specialized clinic that treats people who have suffered brain injuries, including strokes, Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), or other neurological damage. Twelve hundred miles later, we arrived at The Villages in Florida.
We met with our dear friend and courageous patriot, James Thorp, MD, tonight to discuss our continuing odyssey, both the physical journey and the spiritual and emotional one we are embarked upon, as we seek to maximize the healing potential for Peter following his stroke in August of this year.
Join us as we share this continuing adventure with Dr. Jim Thorp and you all, our wonderful audience.
You can never know what life may have in store for you next!

There is something about a journey. Whether it is a long-anticipated vacation or an emergency that calls you away from all that is familiar, a journey is a new beginning.
One moment you’re in your own home, surrounded by all the things that have collected to facilitate your daily activities and routines. The next moment, you’re in a car, a train, an airplane flying across the landscape toward the unknown.
Sooner or later, we each find ourselves on a journey. This life teaches us again and again that what is familiar today can be upended in a moment. We sew the fabric of our lives to cradle and support us, but the threads are fragile, and eventually, there will be a tear. Patterns vanish, routines deteriorate, and we are suddenly forced to re-create what we need—in effect to re-create who we are.
It is at those moments that we rediscover our hidden reserves as we consciously evaluate and determine what, indeed, matters most in our lives.
Tragedy and disasters can also offer unanticipated blessings. In a generous act of grace and kindness, our guest on The Breggin Hour invited Peter Breggin to share his perspectives on being a head injury patient. After over 60 years of helping patients and vulnerable persons to understand and overcome head injuries and brain damage from psychiatric drugs, electroshock, and lobotomy, Peter suffered a stroke in August of 2025. The damage has been serious enough that the Breggins have traveled to Florida to be evaluated for participation in a cutting-edge program for patients with brain injuries of various kinds.
For the Breggins, Peter’s injury and the symptoms he is experiencing are so fresh that he has not talked publicly before about his subjective reactions to the experience. That changed when this week’s guest, screenwriter Steve Miller, said, “This is fascinating—please tell me more.”
Steve Miller has been a writer for film and TV for over 25 years—he lives and breathes stories, and knew he was hearing a unique one in this interview. A personally thoughtful and caring man, he is also wide awake to the evils of our world and the nefarious goals of globalists who want to control the world. Covid Unmasked: 2020 and Beyond is Steve Miller’s excellent documentary, which exposes the underlying motives and hidden puppet masters who brought us all to the brink of global economic disaster while setting in motion the events of the Covid era that continue to claim lives today. With this broad shared background, the conversation turned to the personal.
What followed may be the most intimate hour with the Breggins ever recorded.

Birthrates are declining worldwide, including in the US, Canada, and European nations, with some projections forecasting that 97% of the world’s countries will have fertility rates too low to sustain their populations by 2100. This population deficit not only threatens economic growth and the well-being of older members but also limits opportunities for younger people to develop in thriving communities. These population declines are an overall disaster for civilization, human well-being, and survival.
In a fascinating conversation with journalist Elizabeth Nickson, we examined some of the greatest pressures and roadblocks faced by young women today that lead to the deferment or rejection of parenthood.

The assassination of American Charlie Kirk has led much of our society to examine what a civilization is and to ask what creates a civilized society. Charlie Kirk was a strong and determined advocate for Judeo-Christian values, committed marriage, and the well-being of children and families.
One of the most destructive moral influences upon American civilization was, and continues to be, Alfred Kinsey. In the span of his lifetime, Kinsey managed (with the aid of Deep State forces through the Intelligence services) to extensively upend the ethical forces that held in check baser human instincts.
Civilization is in many ways the management of human appetites to maximize freedom for all members of the community. The mores of American culture in the 1940s, rooted in Judeo-Christian values, emphasized the respect and even sacredness of marriage, as well as the encouragement and affirmation of marital fidelity. Kinsey tore through these traditional values with a chainsaw—promoting promiscuity and declaring that if a sexual act could be physically performed, it was acceptable and natural. He included both adult sex with children, as well as sex with animals, in this definition.
Kinsey’s books: Sexual Behavior in the Human Male(1948), followed by Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), included chapters purporting to prove the sexuality of infants and prepubescent children with charts documenting what he called children’s orgasms. His sources for large portions of his data were predatory pedophiles, from whom Kinsey collected data for his hypotheses rather than reporting them to the authorities.
These pedophiles, in turn, have been protected by the Kinsey Institute, a nonprofit affiliated with Indiana University. The data he collected from the sources he protected has continued to be locked away, supposedly to protect the privacy of the reporters who were abusing children.
What an irony! That Kinsey, who advocates the removal of all boundaries upon sexuality, has one ironclad boundary of privacy protecting his research against the independent examination of the foundational sources of his data, including child abusers.
Kinsey’s work inspired Hugh Hefner and spawned the entire Playboy empire, leading to the explosion of pornography, pedophilia, and the hook-up culture so prevalent in America today, and shaking the civilizational foundation of marriage and family to its core. The unraveling of the American family has, in turn, fractured the foundations of our very civilization.
Even worse, Kinsey encouraged sexual acts and engagement between adults and children, including infants. As we reported in our earlier column on Alfred Kinsey:
The [Kinsey] institute contains, in its archives, the stories of hundreds, if not thousands, of acts of sexual abuse against children. Many of these accounts involve the physical rape of very small children. These reports include precise details of the children crying, resisting, and making other efforts to fend off their assailants. These details are included because Dr. Alfred Kinsey, the Father of the Sexual Revolution, believed in collecting detailed “scientific” accounts of every kind of sexual act between human beings, including violent sexual acts committed upon children by adults.
On their official website, the Kinsey Institute denies that Kinsey and his colleagues hired, collaborated with, or persuaded people to carry out experiments on children. But Dr. Reisman’s research and evidence, along with the evidence of others, prove otherwise. Furthermore, a 1995 Washington Post article reported:
Yesterday, the director of the Kinsey Institute revealed that Kinsey’s conclusions on the sexuality of young children were based not on scientific study but on the secret history of a single pedophile who kept a diary of his experiences with 317 pre-adolescent boys.
The Kinsey Institute director in 1995 was John Bancroft, who “clarified” Kinsey’s research approach at a press conference in Washington, DC, called by a Representative of Congress investigating Kinsey’s methods of research, their legality, conclusions, and effects upon school curricula and American culture.
Bancroft went on to declare that no one will ever know what happened to the children whose orgasms are reported in the Kinsey Tables in the Sexual Behavior of the Human Male. The Post article continued quoting Bancroft:
“There was no contact with any of the boys by anyone at the institute, only with the man’s notes,” he said. The institute “has never carried out sexual experiments on children.” As for the pedophile — who was not paid — he is catalogued at the Kinsey Institute under a pseudonym, which could be decoded but will not be if Bancroft has anything to do with it. “The man is long dead. He died around 1955,” the director said.
The 50th Anniversary edition of the Sexual Behavior in the Human Female includes eighteen closely typed pages in justification and defense of Kinsey’s work, written by the Director of the Institute at that time, John Bancroft. Kinsey believed in a concept he termed ‘total sexual outlet.’ Bancroft declared:
The fact that he [Kinsey] combined orgasms from six principal sources, masturbation, nocturnal emissions, heterosexual petting, heterosexual intercourse, homosexual relations, and intercourse with animals, to derive his ‘total sexual outlet,’ in no way means that he regarded each of these sources of orgasm as of equal value in social or interpersonal or emotional terms, for either men or women. His lack of comment on the moral value of any form of sexual behavior was central to his non-judgmental approach, without which his long-running project, which he envisioned as continuing for many years longer than it did, would not have been viable. We regret that he made no such moral comparisons, because without them he describes sexual behavior in something of a moral vacuum which others have been quick to fill with their own interpretations of Kinsey’s moral standpoint…
Bancroft goes on to discuss critics of Kinsey’s work. What he fails to observe is that in this vacuum, which he describes, many new liberties and assumptions were indeed taken, and many moral protections, however imperfect, which had been in place for generations for women and for all children (and for that matter, animals) were gravely weakened.
Most egregiously, Kinsey declared in 1953 in Sexual Behavior in the Human Female:
There are, of course, instances of adults who have done physical damage to children with whom they have attempted sexual contact… But these cases are in the minority, and the public should learn to distinguish such serious contacts from other adult contacts that are not likely to do the child any appreciable harm if the child’s parents do not become disturbed.
Our radio guest, Rhonda Miller, is CEO of Purple for Parents, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children from the harmful agendas in government schools, from indoctrination to sexual grooming. She is leading members of her organization along with other international groups with shared goals to lobby in Washington, DC in order to finally have the Kinsey Institute and the institute’s foundational sex research locked away within the institute fully investigated.

Journalist and president of Liberty Sentinel Media, Alex Newman, joins Dr. Peter Breggin and Ginger Breggin for The Breggin Hour.
Mr. Newman shares his news and concerns about a variety of international topics, including gene editing, the activities of George Soros’ organization, and the forthcoming climate movement summit in Brazil coming up in a couple of months. He provides a critical and unique perspective since he has actually been travelling to and attending the meetings of global predators, reporting on-site from the gatherings of the elites. And he has been doing this on the scene reporting for years. His knowledge base of the activities and goals of the United Nations and the NGO networks established to do the globalist bidding is unmatched.
Catch up here on what is going on now in the world of the global predators working to bring about their desired one-world government!
Dr. Breggin wraps up the hour on a positive note, sharing his “Five Principles of Life” that were first formulated by him for his 2010 book: Wow, I’m an American, written during the ascendency of Candidate Obama, who eventually served eight years in the White House as President of the United States.
Five Principles of Life
- Dare to trust in a loving God
- Express gratitude for all your gifts and opportunities
- Take responsibility at all times
- Stand firmly for freedom
- Become a source of love

Robert D. Martin comes out of the Christian establishment from places I do not generally have access to, including being on the Board of the Liberty University School of Business, an officer of the Southern Baptist Convention, and working with powerful politicians and financiers. We ended up talking in depth before and after the show on our feelings about God in our lives.
Rod is one of the most informed and articulate people I have met on global affairs from a historical and current events viewpoint. He will definitely add to your knowledge about what is going on in the clash between good and evil in the world today. Rod has many insights into the nature of human evil and how it is embedded in our institutions. However, he also expresses hope and details some reasons for hope in the beginning of a rebirth of Christianity in America, especially among younger people.
Rod speaks with amazing clarity and conviction about the most important issues of our day, making this one of my best hours of listening to another person’s ideas.
Rod D. Martin, Founder and CEO of Martin Capital and The Rod Martin Report, is an investor, technology entrepreneur, and futurist from Destin, Florida. Fox Business calls him a “tech guru,” Gawker once labeled him a “brilliant nonconformist,” while Britain’s Guardian describes him as a “philosopher capitalist.” BlazeTV has named him “one of America’s leading public intellectuals.”
Rod was part of PayPal’s pre-IPO startup team, serving as special counsel to founder and CEO Peter Thiel and as policy director to former Governor Mike Huckabee. He is active in a variety of charitable and educational endeavors, including service on the Board of Directors of the Center for Security Policy, on the Board of Advisors at the Liberty University School of Business, and as co-founder of the Conservative Baptist Network.

Of all the people we regularly interview, Steve Miller, the Los Angeles filmmaker and journalist (not the other Steve Miller from DC) is among the most fun, the most surprisingly insightful, the brightest, and even good-natured. It’s within that warm and even humorous context that we discuss some of the most horrific and important issues in the world today and forever.
It starts with riots in Steve’s hometown and then goes on to:
- “Why do they want to destroy America?”
- “What do the predators all have in common?”
- “What’s the single best thing that can be done to stop them?”
- “When we cut through all the distractions, what’s right in front of our eyes?”
Join us with our friend Steve Miller. You may feel like you’re making a friend, and you’re bound to hear something that’s new and different.

Rarely is one of our shows as intricately fascinating and self-disclosing to our guest and ourselves that we cannot adequately describe all that we covered, all that we learned, and all that we began integrating anew into our knowledge as the interview evolved.
Our guest, physician Juliette Engel, was a captive, slave, and experimental subject controlled by the CIA from early childhood until age sixteen. Acting on her own, she then escaped the CIA/MKUltra house of devil worship — a subject we will let her tell you about in the interview. She began her new life as a college student, and to manage her severe post-traumatic stress, she developed amnesia for her horrendous past. As a therapist and researcher, I know this happens, but it requires a powerful mind like Dr. Engel to accomplish it and ultimately to flourish.
Dr. Engel is part of a growing number of people coming forth about their experiences as victims of CIA experiments, which in part were training her to become a part of what I have decided to call, “the global community of abusers without conscience,” a powerful aspect of the global predators and their unholy empires.
Adding incredible background to her personal testimony, she sent us in advance a document released from the National Security Archive on December 23, 2024. The ominous title is “CIA Behavioral Control Experiments Focus of New Scholarly Collection.”
The CIA documents confirm many of Dr. Engel’s memories, which only began to unfold much later, after a life of medical reform work in Russia.
Confirming Our Own Experiences with the Deep State and CIA
One huge confirmation for me and Ginger is how much the CIA was indeed focused on defending and supporting the very kind or torturous and inhuman psychiatric treatments that I began openly opposing in the early 1970s, including lobotomy and other forms of psychosurgery and electroshock (ECT) which I have described as an electrical closed-head lobotomy.
Another insight for me was the similarity between the CIA agents and collaborators, as described in the CIA documents, and the global predators we have described in our book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey. This is the same profile we continue to explore in our recent columns about America’s four current empires: the Western Global Empire, the Eastern Global Chinese Communist Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Caliphate Muslim Empire.
These predators, across a broad spectrum of activities, are primarily motivated by a lust for power over other human beings. They also desire wealth, but mostly as a tool for gaining power. What drives them is the desire to exert power over as many people as possible within their sphere, whether it is a political party, a criminal cabal or conspiracy, a government agency, a nation, an empire, or a global governance.
If they did not lust for power, they would not succeed in their goal of dominating, controlling, exploiting, enslaving, or killing as many people as possible. They must also possess extreme cunning and shrewdness to be able to manipulate and exploit so many people and to compete for power among so many other violent, cunning people. Probably above all else, they must be masters of conspiracy, able to seduce or intimidate others into helping them pursue their evil aims.
These predators must lack identification with the people within their own family, group, nation, or empire, because seizing and growing enormous power usually requires, as history demonstrates, killing competitors in their own families and their own inner circles of co-conspirators, as well as millions of their own people, as demonstrated by apex global predators from Alexander “the Great” to Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and the current leaders of Communist China.
These predators must not allow themselves to genuinely love anyone, because such entanglements and feelings would check or inhibit the kind of evil conduct required for fulfilling their primary lust for power. Ultimately, they must not identify with anyone but themselves.
The following excerpts are taken from the vastly important document that our guest, Juliette Engel, MD, first drew to our attention, “CIA Behavior Control Experiments Focus of New Scholarly Collection.” [The document lacks page numbers, but the excerpts can be located by means of searching the document:]
Excerpt 1 from the CIA Documents
Asked whether the CIA had tried to identify “techniques of producing retrograde amnesia,” Gottlieb said it was something that they “talked about,” but that he could not “remember any specific projects or specific research mounted in response to that question.” Asked if the CIA ever used “psychosurgery research projects,” Gottlieb said his “remembrance is that they did.”
Excerpt 2
The elevation of Allen Dulles to deputy director of central intelligence in 1951 led to an expansion of BLUEBIRD programs under a new name, ARTICHOKE, and under the direction of Gottlieb at TSS. The new program was to include, among other projects, the development of “gas guns” and “poisons,” and experiments to test whether “monotonous sounds,” “concussion,” “electroshock,” and “induced sleep” could be used as a means to gain “hypnotic control of an individual.”[5]
Excerpt 3
Another prominent MKULTRA “cutout” foundation, the Human Ecology Society, was run by Cornell Medical Center neurologist Dr. Harold Wolff, who wrote an early study of communist brainwashing techniques for Allen Dulles and later partnered with the CIA to develop a combination of drugs and sensory deprivation that could be used to erase the human mind. Among the most extreme MKULTRA projects funded through Wolff’s group were the infamous “depatterning” experiments conducted by Dr. D. Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial Institute, a psychiatric hospital at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Cameron’s methods combined induced sleep, electroshocks, and “psychic driving,” under which drugged subjects were psychologically tortured for weeks or months in an effort to reprogram their minds.
Except 4
While no new techniques had been discovered, presently known mind control techniques described in the attachment include the use of LSD and other drugs, hypnosis, the use of the polygraph, neurosurgery, and electric shock treatments. However, field testing of these techniques has been handicapped by the “inability to provide the medical competence for a final evaluation and for such field testing as the evaluation indicates. Repeated efforts to recruit medical personnel have failed and until recently the CIA Medical Staff has not been in a position to assist.”
Excerpt 5
The response from TSS lists 17 “materials and methods” that the Chemical Division was working to develop, including:
*substances that “promote illogical thinking,”
materials that would “render the induction of hypnosis easier” or “enhance its usefulness,”
substances that would help individuals to endure “privation, torture and coercion during interrogation” and attempts at ‘brainwashing,’”
*“materials and physical methods” to “produce amnesia” and “shock and confusion over extended periods of time,”
substances that would “produce physical disablement, including paralysis,
*substances that “alter personality structure” or that “produce ‘pure’ euphoria with no subsequent let-down,”
and a “knockout pill” for use in surreptitious druggings and to produce amnesia, among other things. [Asterisks and bold added]
Excerpt 6
Gibbons was not fully clear on how the CIA obtained LSD, but most of it came from the Eli Lilly & Company, according to this memo, which “apparently makes a gift of it to CIA.” [bold added. There are many mentions in the report citing Eli Lilly as the source of massive of amounts of LSD which the CIA then inflicted upon Americans, sometimes as experiments and sometimes for financial gain.]
End of Excerpts
In the current release of CIA documents, many well-known government officials and universities are named as supporting and collaborating with MKUltra and other ghastly CIA experiments. Particularly stunning to me, the CIA bought a new wing for the Georgetown University Hospital, in return for which the CIA was given a special “safe house” inside the medical wing where they were free to inflict their wanton will on involuntary experimental subjects with supportive help from the hospital.
One More Step in Facing the Evil Within
These quotes confirm what I had long suspected and had only limited data to confirm — that the CIA and other government agencies are very protective and supportive of psychosurgery (lobotomy) and electroshock treatment (ECT). They want to research and apply these gross methods of damaging the human brain and mind to facilitate interrogation, to erase memories, to change personalities, and to make people more obedient and robotic. They also want them widely used in society to dumb down and render passive as many people as possible on the way to building the global slave state.
During this interview, we began to more deeply appreciate the involvement of the Deep State in psychiatry and psychology and the strength of their opposition to my reform work going back to the early 1970s. My earliest reform efforts focused on these two treatments, psychosurgery and then electroshock, and finally matured into seeing all psychiatric treatment as an assault on the brain and mind.
In various books and scientific articles, Ginger and I have been pointing to federal agencies pushing lobotomy (DOJ, NIMH), pushing electroshock (CIA, FDA), and pushing psychoactive drugs (FDA, CIA, NIMH, NIH, Department of Education, and others.
Our greatest confrontation with federal agencies came during an intense few years when we educated and organized people to shut down a massive U.S. interagency eugenical program to go into the inner cities to identify supposed biological and genetic causes of violence in black children and youth. The goal was ultimately to justify the widespread diagnosing and drugging of these children, including highly remunerative drugs like antidepressants and stimulants. I had already encountered outright racism, with neurosurgeons and psychiatrists advocating in print for the use of psychosurgery to control the leaders of black uprisings in the 1960s and early 1970s.
We completely defeated the massive eugenics project, causing the cancellation of a major conference and many research projects. We authored a book about it, The War Against Children of Color (1994), which addresses numerous Deep State actors such as the CDC, Department of Justice, FBI, NIMH, NIH, DHHS, and PHS, and names many perpetrators. But we had not yet seen the globalist scope of these activities. Here are links to a few articles about our successful efforts to stop the federal eugenics program.
- The Role of Psychiatry in Nazi Germany and the U.S. Violence Initiative. This link contains the written introduction and historical video of Dr. Peter Breggin’s presentation to Black leaders and community members in Harlem in the early 1990s about the federal government’s plans to biologically “prevent violence” by identifying and drugging Black toddlers and children—a plan ultimately stopped due to the Breggins’ exposure of the eugenics program.
- A biomedical programme for urban violence control in the US: the dangers of psychiatric social control; by Peter R Breggin and Ginger Ross Breggin
- Letter to the Editor, The New York Times by Peter R. Breggin, M.D.: U.S. Hasn’t Given Up Linking Genes to Crime. Excerpt: “Dr. Goodwin estimates that 100,000 children, as young as 5, will be identified for psychiatric interventions. He called the violence initiative the No. 1 funding priority for the Federal mental health establishment in 1994. My organization has since obtained documentation that millions of dollars of Federal funds are being spent on violence initiative research and planning, including studies of both rhesus monkeys and inner-city children. Newly developed psychiatric drugs are being tested for violence prevention in monkey studies, and some psychiatrists are claiming they can be used in humans for the same purpose. It seems inevitable that the violence initiative will involve administering the same drugs to inner-city children. The widespread use of Ritalin to control aggressive children, frequently supported or initiated by public schools, has set a precedent for pharmacological intervention.”

It was further hammered home to me in the interview with Dr. Engel that the kinds of individuals who are cunning enough and violent enough to run totalitarian nations and empires have their counterparts running amok within many federal agencies and many other American institutions. And that is the force from within that we are fighting today as we stand up for freedom in America. We must face a former national leadership, and a current Deep State and other institutions riddled with the worst human beings we can imagine and understand — or we will remain vastly hampered in fighting them.
