These are wide-ranging quotes from my work-in-progress,
The Underground. They take up the subject of psychiatry, the absurd pseudoscience licensed by the State.
"Since there are no definitive physical tests for any of the 300
officially certified mental disorders---no blood tests, no urine tests,
no brain scans, no genetic assays---what we're left with is a
phantasm-map of Nowhere Land, a philosophy of limitation. A translation
of human problems and suffering into a professional liar's language, a
made-up nonsensical technical gibberish. And the federal government
licenses this as a monopoly."
"Whenever you come across a pseudoscience, you're looking at a mask that
covers an ideology. And that ideology intends to limit freedom, the
free person, the free soul, the free mind, the free psyche, the free
creative impulse."
"Modern psychiatry is an updated version of the CIA's MKULTRA mind-control program, adjusted for the masses."
"Psychiatry is basically a mechanism to control people who are
dissatisfied, disaffected, rebellious, independent, thoughtful; and
then, secondarily, a mechanism to control those who just want to
surrender their lives to an external authority and can't believe in
religion anymore. Instead of a priest and a church, they have drugs."
"If Huxley's Brave New World is the mountaintop of controlled society,
with its genetic manipulations and laboratory births, psychiatry is its
ancestor, rambling around in the foothills, pretending to define
so-called mental disorders, handing out toxic drugs, giving people
electric shocks, performing lobotomies. Psychiatry is the crazy
grandfather."
"Psychiatry is a system of arbitrary definitions. When you get past all
the pseudo-technical nonsense, you're looking at mind control---the
attempt to make people believe consciousness is composed of 300
disorders."
"Psychiatry is a state-of-mind prison for society. You can have this
state of mind or that one, and after we treat you, you can have a normal
state of mind."
"But, actually, consciousness is up for grabs. You can have any state of
mind you want to. No labels. Does that sound frightening? You're
supposed to feel frightened and crawl back into a little hole. That's
the game."
"Psychiatry is just another organized religion. Instead of a wafer and a
sip of wine, they have drugs. Lots of drugs. Their cosmology is a
picture they paint, the subject of which is a paradise called Normal.
Sane. Average. By their average definitions."
"Psychiatry would like to be known as some kind of ultimate information
theory. But information theory is what the loser in a poker game is left
with. It's all he's got, so he has to go out on the street and try to
sell it, hypnotize people with it. Pure scrubbed data, as empty and dead
as the face of an old politician."
"Today's psychiatrists are playing around with brain signals. They have
no idea what the mind is. No idea what consciousness is. No idea what
freedom is. They have no idea how different individuals would be from
one another if they broke out of the collective prison of The Normal."
"The Wizard of Psychiatry is a hustler from way back. His job is to make Normal plausible."
"Everything a human being is starts to come into view when he gets rid of Normal."
"Psychiatry and its government, media, and intelligence-agency allies
are saying, 'See that crazy killer over there? Anybody could turn into
that. Even you. So we have to treat the whole population before somebody
starts spraying bullets in your neighborhood. We have to sculpt
everybody into a good citizen, an average person.'"
"Psychiatry is the Surveillance Society of the brain. The NSA with toxic drugs."
"Psychiatry is State control of emotion and thought. And its poor
cousin, psychology, has become sentimental hokum for the rubes. Slop."
"At the bottom of his titanic pile of nonsense, the Wizard of Psychiatry is saying, 'You're not free.' But you are."
"Sixty years ago, a hundred years ago, there was an idea in America. The
Open Road. Travel the open road. Adventure. Psychiatry is one of the
disciplines that's tried to shut it down."
"There never was, and never will be, a science of consciousness, because
by its very nature, consciousness is free and unpredictable. Many
people find this hard to swallow, because they fear freedom and hate it.
They know they've lost it somewhere, and they don't want anyone else to
have it."
