THE ANATOMY OF A REVOLUTION - An Examination of the Men and the System Which Seeks to Topple the American Civilization - Irrational political decisions

Oct 13, 2026

A polemical examination argues that an invisible power structure in the United States is driven by “mattoids” whose irrational, unbalanced reasoning shapes policy, propaganda, and public attitudes. Using sociologist Max Nordau’s classifications, it describes how half-fools generalize pessimism, cultivate moral looseness, and normalize absurd political behavior. The text claims the resulting social effects weaken logic and morality, enabling dangerous doctrines to spread, undermine governance, and threaten national survival.

Propaganda, governance, and national threat

sue No.541,Jume 15,1909 To escape the dolorous fate of yesterday'speople,Americans can dispel this doctrine ofdarkness by disseminating definitive intelli-gence and by adopting corrective politicalaction.Power-entrenched mattoids can onlybe overthrown by an informed and indignantelectorate. It is proposed that the psychopathic ma-lignancy threatening the American civiliza-tion be examined in depth and the knowledgegained thereby be applied with surgical final-ity.Let us begin by defining the nature ofthe foe. Sociologist Max Nordau has identifiedthree classifications of the mattoid. “A mattoid or half-fool,”Nordau said,"who is full of organic feelings of dislike,generalizes his subjective state into a systemof pessimism,of 'Weltschmertz'—wearinessof life. Originally Published InTHE WOMAN CONSTITUTIONALISTAnd Entered in theCongressional Record by Hon.John R.Rarick ARCH E.ROBERTS,Lt.Col,AUS(Ret.) It is appallingly、clear that America thebeautiful has fallen into the hands of politicalmadmen! Our people are exploited and terrorized bycoercive domestic policy at home;our sonsare betrayed in“no-win”military adventuresabroad;and our national honor and integrityare compromised all over the globe. An increasing number of U.S.citizens,seek-ing recovery of national reason,recommendand endorse a public examination of thisstrategy of defeat.They believe,as you be.lieve,that the peril of political madness canbe ignored only on pain of extinction of thestate.Americans must,they warn,isolatethe psychology of those who promote rebel-lon and inspire a study of the anatomy ofrevolution. One of these alarmed Americans,David O.Woodbury,author of 23 science books,said:"We are confronted by a horde of madmen.Mad in the sense that their conduct,theiraspiration,their reasoning,their actions arethose of minds out of control,irrational,un-sound,blown by a hurricane of willful insist-ence upon principles that civilization hasproved over and over again to be speciousand often degenerate.” It is also apparent that insanity has re-cruited a vast apparatus of propaganda andemploys a diabolical cleverness in posing asthe protector and benefactor of mankindwhile actually furthering nihilistic objectives. Contemporary history,in fact,convincing-ly suggests that those who head the FederalGovernment are manipulated by mattoidsby men of unbalanced and dangerous brilli-ance.These hidden exploiters of the U.S.power structure apply an inverted psycho--eugenic science as a weapon against thepeople.They have,seemingly,perfected asophisticated and systematized plan,incor-porating brainwashing and genetic prostitu-tion,to achieve soviet-style control over theAmerican social order. m # THE ANATOMY OF A REVOLUTION An Examination of the Men and the System Which Seeks to Topple the American Civilization Irrational political decisions at policy-mak-ing levels force upon perceptive Americansthe conclusion that an invisible governmentof men "unbridled by logic or understanding"has acquired ultimate power and influence inthe United States.Furthermore,the image-building manipulations of these mattoids fa-vor the development of similar attitudes inothers and give thousands—perhaps mil-lions—of normally well-balanced persons thecourage to overtly engage in absurd or infa-mous acts. “...Through the influence of the teach-ings of degenerate half-fools,"Nordau con-ttinued,"conditions arise which do not,likethe cases of insanity and crime,admit of ex-ppression in figures,but can nevertheless inthe end be defined through their political andsocial effects.We gradually observe a gen-eral loosening of morality,a disappearanceoof logic from thought and action,a morbidirrritability and vacillation of public opinion,arelaxation of character.Offenses are treatedwwith a frivolous or sentimental indulgencewwhich encourages rascals of all kinds.Peo-ple lose the power of moral indignation,andaccustom themselves to despise it as some- “Another,in whom a loveless e
