Drug your Children!

Drug your Children!

Before you allow your children to be subjected to the dubious wonders of drugs like Ritalin, read this article by Dr. Breggin.  He outlines exactly what various drugs actually do to the brain.  It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear of some child's parent resorting to drugs to 'handle' any trouble they might be having.

Believe it or not, Doctors are paid big bucks to hand out these things and most of them have not done their own proper research as to side effects etc.

Psychiatric Drug Facts

Here is a short excerpt from the article:

"Antipsychotic drugs, including both older and newer ones, cause shrinkage (atrophy) of the brain in many human brain scan studies and in animal autopsy studies. The newer atypicals especially cause a well-documented metabolic syndrome including elevated blood sugar, diabetes, increased cholesterol, obesity and hypertension. They also produce dangerous cardiac arrhythmias and unexplained sudden death, and they significantly reduce longevity. In addition, they cause all the problems of the older drugs, such as Thorazine and Haldol, including tardive dyskinesia, a largely permanent and sometimes disabling and painful movement disorder caused by brain damage and biochemical disruptions.

Risperdal in particular but others as well cause potentially permanent breast enlargement in young boys and girls. The overall risk of harmful long-term effects from antipsychotic drugs exceeds the capacity of this review. Withdrawal from antipsychotic drugs can cause overwhelming emotional and neurological suffering, as well as psychosis in both children and adults, making complete cessation at times very difficult or impossible.

Despite their enormous risks, the newer antipsychotic drugs are now frequently used off-label to treat anything from anxiety and depression to insomnia and behavior problems in children. Two older antipsychotic drugs, Reglan and Compazine, are used for gastrointestinal problems, and despite small or short-term dosing, they too can cause problems, including tardive dyskinesia."

The Myth of the Chemical Imbalance…Quote:

The Myth of the Chemical Imbalance…Quote:

"I don't believe I have ever heard a knowledgeable, well-trained psychiatrist make such a preposterous claim [that patients have a chemical imbalance], except perhaps to mock it...In truth, the 'chemical imbalance' notion was always a kind of urban legend—never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists." –Ronald W. Pies, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, the State University of New York and Tufts University School of Medicine

Psychiatric Labelling

Psychiatric Labelling

I don't agree with everything in this article.  It is well researched and from the psychiatric industry itself, suggesting that materials such as the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (The go to manual of Psychiatry) should be abolished.  The article also points out there are not physical tests for any of the 'diseases' listed in this and other manuals of the like.

No More Psychiatric Labels

Excerpt:
"Abstract

This article argues that psychiatric diagnoses are not valid or useful. The use of psychiatric diagnosis increases stigma, does not aid treatment decisions, is associated with worsening long-term prognosis for mental health problems,

...

The failure of decades of basic science research to reveal any specific biological or psychological marker that identifies a psychiatric diagnosis is well recognized.

Tools to Make a Safe Country

Guns and violence.  There have been some terrible tragedies recently – the school shootings in America.  The anti gun people and the pro gun people are seriously ‘up in arms’ against each other.  This is actually a great result and behind it a wonderful tactic if you can get away with it.  A pretty standard way for someone to keep people distracted and upset.

There is a technique for keeping two parties fighting each other.  This is an incredibly useful tool and can be applied anywhere in life.  For example if you want to break up a marriage: tell false things to each spouse involved but make sure that you stay ‘invisible’ and you will have them successfully fighting each other. It is important that neither one know that you are the one spreading the falsehoods or rumors.  If this is found out then it will not usually work. This can easily be done with marriages or countries.  This is how you keep wars going.  Make sure that you are spreading false information about the other country.  Do that with both countries and you get some pretty serious hate going on.  But you have to make sure that both sides are unaware of what you are doing.  You definitely want to hide that you are the one spreading the falsehoods.

This can be done pretty easily in many aspects of life if you are careful to make sure that the falsehoods are not too obviously false and you stay well hidden as the culprit.

Why would you do this?  Any number of reasons.  You want to steal a girlfiend or boyfriend. You are not happy with the person your son or daughter married and want them to break up.  You want to get someone you don’t like fired from a job.  A competitor has a better product than you and is taking your business. Just alter the truth a little.  Pretend to be helping – that is very effective  – when you are feeding the lies.

You want to destroy a small business.  How do you conflict the two partners in that business?  Spread some insidious rumors.  Use a lot of ‘everyone knows’ – generalizations work the best when spreading rumors.  But make sure that if you are targeting someone in a company that the reports are vague and confusing.  That will put more doubt into the mix and make it less likely for people to discern the truth.  If you can keep two partners in a company upset with bad news it will prevent them from being able to sort out the truth.  Even if the company is doing fairly well there are probably some “mess-ups” somewhere and it is easy enough to blow things out of proportion.  Keep nagging.  And don’t always communicate directly to the party or parties you are trying to get conflicted.  Communicate these things to the secretary or someone else close.  That puts in another layer and keeps you invisible.

It takes some work and conniving but is one of the best ways to destroy a company or marriage.  Or get someone fired.  And if you are good at it you can come out unscathed and probably profit from the destruction.

So, if you are running a country and you want to get anything done, you have to apply the above.  If you are a dictator or tyrant that is fine, you can do pretty much what you want.  But short of that you have to do something to keep the people of your country fighting each other so you can get the things accomplished that you feel are needed.  You have to keep them distracted from the important policy decisions.  The above technique will work to keep groups fighting each other and also distracted enough that you can pass any laws that most people will either agree with or be to busy to pay attention to.

Create or monopolize on tragedies.

But even with these you must make sure that there are confusions to keep the rumour mills running.  Use the media to give conflicting reports and vagaries.  This will do a couple of things:  It will keep people’s attention generally stuck on the tragedy.  Nothing like vagaries and a mystery to do that. And it will keep the two sides of the debate at each others throats.

The above can be a lot of work but has proven to be successful down through the centuries.  Most people will go where the media points them.  Just have them(the media) say confusing things in an officious way.  If you can get falsehoods into the newspapers and other news outlets, all the better.  The majority of people will not believe that the media would lie to them.  And most are too cowardly to confront the real evil that this is. It is pretty easy to tell the media what to do these days. And those ‘alternate’ media sources need not worry you.  Just pass some false rumors about them – run the same gambit I have outlined above. Any that get too powerful, you can always infiltrate.

All this gives you(the leader of the country) time to do the things necessary to put in place the laws and infrastructure that will make your government stronger and more able to control the people.  The majority of people are completely willing to give up their freedoms and have the government run things for them.  If you doubt this just look at the history of Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Russia or different periods in China.

Say NO to drugs!

The whole labeling thing by psychiatrists really ticks me off.  How to slam and oppress an active child.  He can’t keep his attention on what YOU want him to keep his or her attention on so YOU label him or her ADHD instead of something positive.  psychiatric labelingMakes for a pretty dangerous environment for the child.  He or she cannot be his or herself anymore.

What if Mozart was labeled ADHD because all he could do was write music.  Or Da Vinci was thrown in the nuthouse because his scribblings were fanciful and unrealistic.  Over the centuries in other cultures people were ostracized from their society because they did not conform and many talents were squashed BUT with drugs like ritalin the evil bastards(psychiatrists) are able to neutralize thousands and millions of children all the while having the general population thinking they are helping.

Hey – to coin a phrase “Say no to drugs!”

Or one that I like much better: “Drugs are for losers!”
