An example of the above on modern "social media:"
Here is an old article from 1976 about how this same thing was being done in the Soviet Union (with the unstated assumption that such a thing would not happen in the west).

The text shown was apparently published by an arm of the Scientology cult, which has conveniently been established as America's de facto "leading" anti-psychiatry organization. This is certainly not by chance and the purpose is clear: make it appear to any normal people researching the issue that any criticism of psychiatric abuses is the domain of a bunch of nutty cult members. Interested readers will note that this is in like manner to how agent provocateur Alex Jones was conveniently set up, and later promoted on the C.I.A.-controlled mainstream media, as the de facto "leading voice" voice of the 9/11 truth movement.
