"Individual [Harvard law] students often ask teachers not to
include the law of rape on exams for fear that the material would cause
them to perform less well. One teacher I know was recently asked by a
student not to use the word "violate" in class-as in "Does this conduct
violate the law?"-because the word was triggering. Some students have
even suggested that rape law should not be taught because of its
potential to cause distress." (Jeannie Suk, The New Yorker, 12/15/14)
"When you have medical services at colleges all over the country
making psychiatric diagnoses and dispensing drugs, day in and day out,
what do you suppose is going to happen to those students? They're going
to wear their mental-disorder labels like badges, and they're going to
think of themselves as vulnerable, and they're going to look for new
ways to prove how vulnerable they are. They're going to say that
hearing certain words can cause them to go into a tailspin..." (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
The current official list of mental disorders hovers at 300. That's
300---separately defined, treatable, and covered by insurance plans.
On a cultural level, this means the population is being tuned to the
idea that they are vulnerable and at high risk. The right trigger at
the right moment, a slight change in brain-chemical balance, and there
it is: a disorder, with a title, a professional diagnosis, and the need
for treatment.
This cultural programming---no surprise---has been a major factor in
influencing people to believe they are victims. The obsessive focus on
politically correct words that could offend and traumatize is, in
reality, an extension of the psychiatric matrix.
A cascade of propaganda has been unleashed around the notion that people
are helpless; they can't rise above "triggering"; they must be attended
to and given special consideration, even if their needs interfere with
the interests of those who aren't affected by "insensitive language."
Hordes of little worker ants are busy digging out new words and
expressions that could conceivably disturb the equilibrium of cherished
victims. Soon, no doubt, we will learn that "a," "an," and "the" carry
little violent packages of emotional electricity.
So let's take a brief tour of the root: psychiatry, in all its glory.
In 2012, the
Psychiatric Times reported that the latest edition of the bible of mental disorders, the DSM-V, would make grief a mental disorder.
Specifically, a parent who deeply mourns the loss of a child for more than
two weeks would rate a diagnosis of clinical depression (and of course, drugging with one of the toxic SSRI antidepressants.)
This absurdity was even too much for some psychiatrists, and they
rebelled. But the "experts" who were assembling the DSM-V didn't care.
Well, of course not; there is a lot of money to be made by prescribing more drugs, in this case, to grieving parents.
The
Psychiatric Times' editorial attacking this lunatic classification of grief-as-disease was written by none other than Dr. Allen Frances.
My readers will remember my article about the good doctor. He is the
man who was in charge of assembling the previous DSM-IV. His team
expanded the definitions of ADHD and Bipolar, so that many more people
would be dosed with toxic and destructive drugs like Valproate, Lithium,
and Ritalin.
Yet Dr. Frances, in a December 2010
Wired interview (
"Inside the Battle to Define Mental Illness"), stated:
"There is no definition of a mental disorder. It's bullshit. I mean, you just can't define it."
He actually said it.
What lies below this psychiatric lunacy is an entire industrial
complex. It's dedicated to brainwashing the public into accepting the
notion of discrete and real mental disorders.
Yes, people have problems, they become frustrated and confused, they
suffer, but the act of carving up behavior and thought into diseases is a
way of a) expanding business and b) extending the overall matrix.
More and more, as a result of relentless PR, the public believes there
are a whole host of mental disorders that not only intrude on their
lives but require pharmaceutical treatment.
The public believes they are victimized by these diseases and can alleviate them only through drugs.
The public believes it is "humane" to accept the existence of these
diseases, and we must all join together to "remove the stigma of
diagnosis."
The public believes they are at the mercy of arbitrary shifts of brain chemistry that bring on these diseases.
The public believes, therefore, that life itself is limited by the potential onset of "psychiatric illness."
The public believes we're all, to one degree or another, disabled.
The public believes what they're told to believe. Therefore, the
fictitious existence of discrete mental disorders becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
The Matrix op called psychiatry provides a focal point, around which are
woven many strands of propaganda. The overall objective? A future
world that resembles, to a remarkable degree, a Universal Hospital, in
which the population, granted "free" care, lives through dozens of
diagnoses of diseases and disorders, with (toxic) treatments---from
cradle to grave. The eternal patient.
Psychiatry seeks to gain control and domination over the entire area of
human behavior, through classification by labels and bogus claims of
diagnosis.
Here is the kicker:
There are no definitive chemical or biological tests for any so-called mental disorder.
This fact is stunning to people. They automatically assume psychiatry is a science. It isn't. It's a shell game.
I refer now to the PBS FRONTLINE presentation,
"Does ADHD Exist?"
A quite revealing exchange occurs between the interviewer and Dr.
Russell Barkley, professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University
of Massachusetts Medical Center.
INTERVIEWER:
Skeptics say that there's no biological marker---that
it [ADHD] is the one condition out there where there is no blood test,
and that no one knows what causes it.
BARKLEY:
That's tremendously naïve, and it shows a great deal of
illiteracy about science and about the mental health professions. A
disorder doesn't have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were
the case, all mental disorders would be invalid...There is no lab test
for any mental disorder right now in our science. That doesn't make
them invalid.
Yes, that does make them invalid. All of them.
Of course, if you want to make science into guesswork and empty promises
and speculation and tea-leaf reading, have at it. Privately, and
preferably on a desert island.
Go to a library and pick up the DSM-V. Search through it for one
defining laboratory test for any mental disorder. See for yourself.
There isn't any such test.
Yet, on this unscientific basis, psychiatry and its allies have managed
to transform society. They've staged an extraordinarily successful
revolution over the past 50 years.
And now, on several branches of that tree, we are seeing the poisonous
fruition of a cultural correctness that seeks to encircle freedom.
It will lose. It has already begun to lose. This political-correctness
extension of psychiatric gibberish is sowing the seeds of its own
destruction because it has gone too far. It has taken its "lessons" too
seriously and made a circus, a parade of buffoonery out of its mission.
People with eyes to see will also notice that carving up real human
suffering into 300 fictitious mental disorders is far more preposterous.
Language is an important tool of political control, particularly in the
form of labels. Five decades of assigning labels to people's brains and
minds have an effect. Feedback loops are created. People invent
"information" that confirms the label that is given to them.
Now we are talking about
real triggers. The names of mental
disorders are a form of hypnosis, in which the patient supplies most of
the trance. He defines himself as he is "supposed to."
Combatting the psychiatric dumb-show will be a lot harder than sweeping
away the political-correctness language police. Psychiatry has the
official imprimatur of governments, courts, school systems, university
departments, and even the military.
Big Pharma sits behind it all, financing the institution of psychiatry and selling the drugs.
