B.L. Ochman of the “What’s Next Blog” used the words “Dan Rather” and “journalistic integrity” in the same sentence — apparently thinking that they contained no irony. So I posted a comment on her blog reminding her of of the frauduent story about Prez Bush, and giving her my take on the Heber Jentzch interview I witnessed back in the late 70’s, when Dan Rather interviewed the President of the Church of Scientology and took Heber’s answers and twisted them to fit his slant on the story. By that I mean he literally cut and pasted …

There’s a great new4-minute video from CCHR where dozens of psychiatrists at the APA convention are interviewed and answer man-on-the-street interview questions about whether there are any biological tests to determine if there’s a chemical imbalance in the brain. Of course they all answer “No,” and it is mildly amusing to watch them squirm uncomfortably in the spotlight. Then they are asked if they have ever cured anyone. After a lot of hemming and hawing, they say “No.”

If you ever had any doubt about the labels that psychiatrists make up and apply to you so they can get …

I’ve known Juliette Lewis since she was a child – I used to shlep Juliette and my daughter Kendra around to acting lessons. They used to have playdates with her and and big brother Lightfield, did sleepovers, swam together in her dad’s (Geoffrey Lewis) pool. Glenis (Juliette’s mom) has been a family friend for decades, and is as cheery and breezy a person as can be found in Hollywood or anywhere else for that matter.

Recently Juliette was interviewed for PR-Inside, an entertainment mag, and came out with a strong anti-drug statement. It’s not surprising that …

Forbes has a short article here about Tom Cruise being the #1 movie star by income. War of the Worlds last year was good for him, so was MI3 and his infamous couch-jumping enthusiasm on Ophrah, and his hooking up with Katie Holmes and having baby Suri has all helped propel him to super-stardom in the movie industry, ahead of — oh, yeah — everybody else! So, maybe he’s not your cup-o-tea, but he’s already won the biggest popularity contest on earth. Twice (he did it before in 2001). They have a paragraph on there about …

An acquaintance, JoJo Zawawi, has put up a site that is doing fairly well at Google for the phrase “psychiatric help“. It’s a psych-buster site, of course. Psychiatry has long since shown it has no interest in help, despite occasional claims in that direction. At some point in the process of being educated to be a psychiatrist, every young man or woman headed down that road has to realize that what they are being taught a) doesn’t make sense and b) doesn’t help and c) is actually harmful and d) rips people off royally and e) has …

Here’s a long article on “The President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health“, subtitled “The Plan to Drug American School Children” worth reading and understanding. While I usually avoid conspiracy sites or ultra left-wing sites (this site is both), the author of this article, George Stone, has done a good job of putting together facts about the motivations behind Big Pharma and the Psychiatric industry and its intent to sell their drugs to every American.

Of particular interest was his description of them as a “vampire”, not a Goliath, because they work in …

I have long admired Elie Weisel. If you don’t remember Elie, he is the guy who tracked down many, many Nazi war criminals so they could be prosecuted for their crimes. He was himself a victim of Nazi oppression — his village in Romania was “deported” to a Nazi concentration camp (Buchenwald) in 1944, where he survived until he was liberated in 1945. He was 15 years old. His father died in the camp. This is an excerpt from his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech of 1986:

“Action is the only remedy to indifference. Whenever and wherever human beings
