Here’s a video of a recent Fox News panel discussion on the consequences of the drugging of America’s kids by psychiatrists being funded by Big Pharma to do so:
The reporter (Kathy Fountain) running this panel starts off with a careful disclaimer that “plenty of parents say they are grateful now for the modern help for their kids with medication.” While such gratitude may exist, it is mis-placed. In most trials, placebos worked better than the psych drugs. And when you consider that the long term effects of what years of drugging a child’s brain can be, and the absolutely …

Walking on the ranch through our woods on a fall day with a camera is an invitation to spend hours taking a series of photos of every little scene along the way: “Ooh, what a nice tree!” or “how sharp those thistles look in silhouette” or “those red leaves stand out so brightly against the green background”. Unfortunately I don’t have hours to spend walking or photographing, but here are some shots of some scenes that really stood out for me.
This photo from a couple of days ago showed the first touch of fall colors on this maple tree. …

As this recent NY Times article on Psychiatric Fraud brings to light, there is a lot of money flowing from drug companies to the psychiatrists who review their drugs. As reported in this story, Dr. Charles B. Nemeroff of Emory University, who has been a “leading light” in psychiatry with over 850 articles published, and who held the position of editor in chief at Neuropsychopharmacology, a “prestigious” journal in which psych drugs are discussed and reviewed. Dr. Nemeroff has received over $170,000 in just one year from GlaxoSmithKline. So basically he has been hip-deep in the pockets of the very drug …

Psych drugs such as Ritalin can be incredibly addictive, and can create a host of problems when someone tries to come off of them and go back to a normal life. There are several websites that have been set up to help people do that, offering tried and true advice. One of the best is Point of Return. If you need motivation to do so, check out the CCHR website and watch any of their videos.
And for an inspirational book about getting off of psych drugs, see Alesandra’s book, Deeds of Trust.
It’s not enough to merely decry the abuses …

The recent hack by a member of Anonymous of Sarah Palin’s Yahoo email account has brought some negative publicity for “Anonymous”, a loosely-knit buch of wackos who seem to exist for LULZ — a word they use for “getting their jollies” at others’ expense. This article in Wired News about Anonymous details some of their craziness and cruelty. This time the Secret Service and FBI are involved, and one would hope that the particular Anonymous character named Rubico will be tracked down and arrested for his illegal activity in hacking Sarah Palin’s email.
Up until this point, Anonymous has gotten mostly …

I don’t often acknowledge individuals on my blog - I prefer to discuss such important issues as Second Amendment rights, psychiatric abuse, or human rights. But I felt compelled to write such an acknowledgement after learning of offer from the “Millionaire Patriot”, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, to GIVE AWAY a free gun to anyone taking advantage of a particular training course he’s offering at a deeply discounted price. Click that link for details. Ignatius Piazza puts his money where his mouth is. He wants to see more responsible citizens armed and capable, carrying concealed weapons (which they know very well how to …

A letter sent from Barack Obama says he is fully behind the Mother’s Act, which would require “mental health” screening of all pregnant women and new mothers. Of course the only result from such screening is more drugs being sold by Big Pharma, who are the powers behind this particularly nasty piece of legislation. Don’t forget that, despite their PR to the contrary, the drugs on which they put women who are “screened” in this fashion have serious side effects, including suicidal ideation (thoughts of killing oneself) and homicidal ideation (thoughts of killing others). Basically psych drugs can often stop …

There were some great quotes in the Federalist newsletter (Patriot Post) today.
“The timid, civilized world has found nothing with which to oppose the
onslaught of a sudden revival of barefaced barbarity, other than concessions
and smiles.” —Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

you should run for your life.” —Henry David Thoreau

Dennis Clarke, whom I’ve respected for about the last 30 years, has been a very hard-hitting spokesman for Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights. His television appearances are memorable and intensely enjoyable; he has enough facts memorized to go up against any psychiatrist in a debate and expose the pseudo-science and lack of any scientificfoundation of their most cherished and idiotic beliefs about brain chemistry, chemical imbalance, etc. He’s written this linked article about the whole process of the wholesale labeling and drugging of children by psychiatry in the schools.
If you’re in the life of a child who has been falsely …
