I submitted this link to HN but didn't upload the text to archive.org. I was doing some research on marketing and advertising methods used by politicians in their campaign material (just general interest, no particular party or conspiracy theories). I don't know which article linked to this text (I had opened many tabs as I was reading) but it appeared interesting enough for a submission to HN. It didn't generate any interest initially, but I received an email from HN that it appeared to be an interesting post and that I should submit it again, so I did. The second post has made it to the front page and generated some discussion, I was going to post a link to the downloadable formats provided by archive.org, but after checking the archive.org page I see that the text is actually a published book [0] (1956, by Joost Meerloo (1903-1976)) uploaded by someone with an Obama conspiracy theory that may not have the permission to release the text to archive.org under a Creative Commons license (there are links from Wikipedia to other online versions). There's a Wikipedia page for Joost Meerloo[1] with links to online versions of this and one other of his books - Delusion and Mass Delusion (Meerloo 1949) [2], the Wikipedia bibliography list some other interesting titles authored by Meerloo. The book is available on Amazon (and goodreads.com) but the publisher (Progressive Press?) appears to have many conspiracy-related releases so I don't know how reputable they are.
