If your looking for a good conspiracy theory about the TTI I think this is pretty good.

A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics.
(otherwise known as the brainwashing manual)
*excerpts*
psychopolitical operatives should at all times be alert to the
opportunity to organize mental health clubs or groups "for the
betterment of the community." By thus inviting the cooperation
of the population as a whole in mental health programs, properly
guided, can bring enough legislative pressure on the government
to secure the position of the psychopolitical operative, and to obtain
for him government grants and facilities, thus bringing a government
to finance its own downfall.
Mental health organizations must carefully delete from their ranks
anyone actually proficient in the handling or treatment of mental
health.
Sickness could be considered to be a disloyalty to the remaining
organisms on the part on one organism. This disloyalty, becoming
apparent, brings about a revolt of some part of the anatomy against
the remaining whole, and thus we have, in effect, an internal revolution.
In order to induce a deep state of hypnosis in an individual, a
group, or a population, an element of terror must always be present
on the part of those who would govern. The psychiatrist is aptly
suited to this role, for his brutalities are committed in the name of science
and are inexplicably complex, and entirely out of view of the
human understanding. A sufficient popular terror of the psychiatrist
will, in itself, bring about insanity on the part of many individuals.
A psychopolitical operative should at all times insist that these treatments
are therapeutic and necessary. He can, in all of his literature
and his books, list large numbers of pretended cures by these means.
But these "cures" need not actually produce any recovery from a state
of disturbance. As long as the psychopolitical operative or his dupes
are the only authorities as to the difference between sanity and insanity,
their word as to the therapeutic value of such treatment will be
the final word. No layman would dare venture to pronounce judgment
upon the state of sanity of an individual whom the psychiatrist
has already declared insane. The individual, himself, is unable to
complain, and his family, as will be covered later, is already discredited
by the occurrence of insanity in their midst. There must be no
other adjudicators of insanity; otherwise it could be disclosed that the brutalities practiced in the name of treatment are not therapeutic.
A psychopolitical operative has no interest in "therapeutic means"
or "cures". The greater the number of insane in the country where he
is operating, the larger the number of the populace coming under his
view, the greater will become his facilities. Because the problem is
a p p a rently mounting to uncontrollable heights, he can operate
increasingly in an atmosphere of emergency, which again excuses his
use of such treatments as electric shock, the prefrontal lobotomy,
transorbital leucotomy, and other operations long since practiced in
Russia on political prisoners.
Furthermore, and much more important, the
field of the mind must be sufficiently dominated by the psychopolitical
operative, so that wherever tenets of the mind are taught they
will be hypnotically believed. The psychopolitical operative, having
under his control all psychology classes in an area, can thus bring
about a complete reformation of the future leaders of a country
through their educational processes, and so prepare them for communism.
man is a stimulus-response animal. His entire reasoning
capabilities, even his ethics and morals, depend upon stimulus-
response machinery. This has long been demonstrated
by such Russians as Pavlov, and the principles have long been
used in handling the recalcitrant, in training children, and in bringing
about a state of optimum behavior on the part of a population.
As an example of this, if an individual is beaten and is told during
the entirety of the beating that he must obey certain officials, he will,
in the future, feel the beginnings of the pain the moment he begins to
disobey. If the individual himself
was injured during that moment, the injury itself will remanifest
when called upon to respond by an exterior command source.
So long as the organism obeys the stimulus whenever it is restimulated
in the future, it does not suffer from the pain of the stimulus.
But should it disobey the command content of the stimulus, the stimulus
reacts to punish the individual. Thus, we have an optimum circumstance,
and one of the basic principles of Psychopolitics. A sufficiently
installed stimulus will thereafter remain as a police mechanism
within the individual to cause him to follow the commands and
directions given to him.
Refusal to let them sleep over many days, or
denying them adequate food, produces an optimum state for the
receipt of a stimulus. If the person is then given an electrical shock,
and is told while the shock is in action that he must obey and do certain
things, he has no choice but to do them, or to reexperience,
because of his mental image picture of it, the electric shock. This
highly scientific and intensely workable mechanism cannot be overestimated
in the practice of psychopolitics.
The psychopolitical operative in training should be thoroughly
versed in the subject of hypnotism and post-hypnotic suggestion.
Having mastered these details fully, he should, by practicing upon
criminals and prisoners, or inmates available to him, produce the
hypnotic trance by drugs, and drive home post-hypnotic suggestions
by pain administered to the drugged person. He should then study
the reactions of the person when "awakened", and should give him
the stimulus-response signal which would throw into action the
commands given while the subject was in a drugged state of duress.

…just some of it, the rest is just as interesting… fiction or not it has a familiar feel don’t you think?
I think as far as conspiracy theories concerning the TTI this document could have been influential in how they were formulated. It originally came from Russia, but apparently L. Ron Hubbard (scientology) claimed to have obtained it or written it in the 60’s. Anyways the totalian structure of programs may have roots here and there is sufficient enough belief (proof being the success of the TTI to continue convincing families to send away their kids) within the general population for this belief system to spiral out into general society and eventually, as said in the doc., bring about their countries’ own downfall.
…I think there’s some plausibility in it.
