For the last 17 years, I've been a board member of NCADD.
ChrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

That's the organization that Marty Mann started.
ChrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
53:13
And Bill and Bob were on the board in the early days until they realized it was not where they should be.
ChrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
53:19
But we recently changed the name to something that's more appropriate.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
12:54
It says here on page two forty-nine by Dr. Thibault, a psychiatrist, was the first one that showed any interest in Alcoholics Anonymous.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

He was, uh, Marty Mann, the first, first woman, uh, alcoholic.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
13:10
He was her doctor at the time he, she, she came into AA.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
13:15
And how she got to AA was that the Big Book had been finished, and they decided before they would take it to the printers that they would make four hundred mimeographed copies of it and take it out and distribute it among people, professional people, that was interested in alcoholism, and that they would check it, and if there was anything in this book that would offend them, well, they wanted to know about it so that, so that they could change the wording of it, and so forth and so on.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
13:50
And so they, they distributed this four hundred books, and so that, uh, the, uh, mimeographed copies.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
13:57
And so Dr. Thibault got hold of one of these, uh, mimeographed copies.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
14:04
And he could do nothing with Marty Mann.
Wesley ParishSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
14:06
She would get drunk and, and, uh, regardless of what he did for her, she, she was right back in his hospital.
Kirsten JohnsonHOST

I get it if you've been indoctrinated to believe that AA ideology is true, which I would argue a lot of society is, culture is, and very strategically, by the way.
Kirsten JohnsonHOST
7:33
The first lady of Alcoholics Anonymous, Marty Mann, spent a lot of effort.
Kirsten JohnsonHOST
7:37
In fact, she made it like her life purpose to literally to systematically indoctrinate different institutions in the United States, but also globally.
Kirsten JohnsonHOST
7:49
She would give sometimes two to five speeches a day, indoctrinating people into AA ideology.

Kirsten JohnsonHOST
16:01
That is Manson bashing.
Kirsten JohnsonHOST
16:04
Sounds bananas, right? It's bananas when we look at it through a slightly different angle.
Kirsten JohnsonHOST
16:08
And the reason why I think it's so important to look at it through a slightly different angle is because globally, thanks, Marty Mann, the nation has been indoctrinated into AA is the way.
Kirsten JohnsonHOST
16:18
So people are indoctrinated into AA ideology and the belief systems of AA without realizing it.
