Psychopaths to "maintain order" after massive nuke attack

We are ruled by the insane

• Government report:  Psychopaths would be “very good in crises” as “they have no feelings for others, nor moral code, and tend to be very intelligent and logical.”

A clandestine Home Office experiment in 1982 tested Britain’s capacity to rebuild after a catastrophic nuclear assault. Previously secret files, made public by the National Archives, document proposals to keep order using psychopathic recruits.

The exercise, dubbed ‘Regenerate’, was devised to prepare Britain to cope with a massive nuclear attack. The project aimed to create back-up measures in the event of a World War Three scenario.

Establishment officials imagined a situation where a nuclear exchange had devastated Britain’s major cities, causing millions of casualties and widespread radiation poisoning.

The Cold War experiment’s strategic means of dealing with such a disaster entailed assembling and recruiting a large group of officials, who would report to 12 carefully selected commissioners. Under the project, swathes of police officers, state officials, military officers and fire services were to be stationed beneath them.

All were to be dispatched to underground bunkers, across the state,ready to emerge in the aftermath of the assault to restore law and order and rebuild the nation.

Regenerate was devised to focus specifically on Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire, the National Archive files reveal.

The project’s architects predicted the most likely targets and forecast the immediate and residual damage of such attacks.

At the points of impact there would be “unimaginable” destruction, while further out, broken panes of glass and “debris in the streets” could be expected, the documents suggest.

Scientific advisers, engaged in the project, estimated that 50 percent of Britain’s landmass would remain intact following such strikes. Lingering survivors, however, could be plagued by illness from radiation poisoning, the files predicted.

Central to the planning phase of the Cold War exercise was the consideration of how law and order would be preserved in the aftermath of such an onslaught.

Jane Hogg, a Home Office official cited in the National Archive documents, predicted police officers would be occupied in assisting “inadequate” individuals. Others, therefore, would have to be recruited to preserve law and order, she suggested.

Hogg further claimed that psychopaths would be “very good in crises” as “they have no feelings for others, nor moral code, and tend to be very intelligent and logical.”

Her superiors, however, were unconvinced by the proposal.

“I am not at all sure you convince me. I would regard them as dangerous whether or not recruited into post-attack organization,” one senior wrote.
