Dan Rather

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

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.

The Psychiatric Drug Industry

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

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 the shadows, in the dark, and their motives …
