TAKE A NICE DEEP BREATH AND CHILL

A little trick for your enjoyment: Play top video without sound {Muted}, and at the same time play the JT video with sound. This is the effect I wanted you to have!

A Line-Storm Song

The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift,

The road is forlorn all day,

Where a myriad snowy quartz stones lift,

And the hoof-prints vanish away.


The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,

Expend their bloom in vain.


Come over the hills and far with me,

And be my love in the rain.



The birds have less to say for themselves

In the wood-world’s torn despair

Than now these numberless years the elves,

Although they are no less there:

All song of the woods is crushed like some

Wild, easily shattered rose.


Come, be my love in the wet woods; come,

Where the boughs rain when it blows.



There is the gale to urge behind

And bruit our singing down,

And the shallow waters aflutter with wind

From which to gather your gown.


What matter if we go clear to the west,

And come not through dry-shod?


For wilding brooch shall wet your breast

The rain-fresh goldenrod.



Oh, never this whelming east wind swells

But it seems like the sea’s return

To the ancient lands where it left the shells

Before the age of the fern;

And it seems like the time when after doubt

Our love came back amain.


Oh, come forth into the storm and rout

And be my love in the rain.

25 Good Reasons Why Psychiatry Must Be Abolished

25 Good Reasons Why Psychiatry Must Be Abolished

by Don Weitz

1. Because psychiatrists frequently cause harm, permanent disabilities, death - death of the body-mind-spirit.

2. Because psychiatrists frequently violate the Hippocratic Oath which orders all physicians "First Do No Harm."

3. Because psychiatrists patronize and disempower people, especially their patients.

4. Because psychiatry is not a medical science.

5. Because psychiatry is quackery, a pseudo-science which lacks independent diagnostic tests, testable hypotheses, and cures for "schizophrenia" and all other types of alleged "mental illness" or "mental disorder".

6. Because psychiatrists can not accurately and reliably predict dangerousness, violence, or any other type of human behaviour, yet make such claims as "expert witnesses", and with the media promote the "dangerous mental patient" myth/stereotype.

7. Because psychiatrists have caused a worldwide epidemic of brain damage by promoting and prescribing brain-disabling treatments such as the neuroleptics, antidepressants, electroconvulsive brainwashing (electroshock), and psychosurgery (lobotomy).

8. Because psychiatrists manufacture hundreds of "mental disorders" classified in its bible called "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (a modern witch-hunting manual); such "mental disorders" and "symptoms" are in fact negative, class-and-culturally-biased moral judgments for dissident ways of coping with personal problems and alternative ways of perceiving, interpreting or being in the world.

9. Because psychiatrists, blinded by their medical model bias, fraudulently pathologize and label people's serious life or existential crises as "symptoms" of "mental illness" or "mental disorder" such as "schizophrenia","bipolar affective disorder", and "personality disorder".

10. Because psychiatrists compound this fraud by falsely claiming, without scientific proof, that these "mental disorders" are caused by a "biochemical imbalance" in the brain, genetic factors or "genetic predispositions", despite the fact that there are no genetic factors in "mental illness".

11. Because psychiatrists frequently misinform their patients, families and the public by claiming that brain-disabling procedures such as the neurotoxins (e.g.,"antipsychotic medication" and "antidepressasnts"), electroconvulsive brainwashing (electroconvulsive therapy/"ECT"), psychosurgery (lobotomy) and other behaviour modification-mind control procedures are "safe, effective and lifesaving". The exact opposite is tragically true.

12. Because psychiatrists routinely deceive or lie to patients, prisoners, their families, and the public.

13. Because psychiatrists routinely and willfully violate the medical-ethical principle of "informed consent" by misinforming or not informing their patients about the numerous toxic, disabling and frequently permanent effects of the neuroleptics such as memory loss, tardive dyskinesia, tardive psychosis, parkinsonism, dementia (all signs of brain damage), and death.

14. Because psychiatrists routinely threaten, intimidate or coerce many patients - particularly women, children, the elderly, and prisoners - into consenting to health-threatening/brain-damaging "treatment" such as the antidepressants, neuroleptics, electroconvulsive brainwashing, and hi-risk experiments.

15. Because psychiatrists frequently fail to fully inform psychiatric inmates and prisoners about existing safe and humane, non-medical alternatives in the community such as survivor-controlled crisis centres, drop-ins, self-help or advocacy groups, diet, massage, wholistic medicine, affordable supportive housing, and jobs.

16. Because psychiatrists are sexist in frequently stereotyping women in crisis as "hysterical" or "over-emotional", blaming women whenever they voice real complaints and assertively express their feelings and emotions, prescribing massive doses of tranquilizers and antidrepressants to disproportionately large numbers of women, and in sexually assaulting women in their offices and institutions.

17. Because psychiatrists, particularly white male psychiatrists, are homophobic - the American Psychiatric Association (APA) once labelled homosexuality as a "mental illness" or "mental disorder" - and have used forced electroshock on lesbians, trying to coerce them into adopting a heterosexual life style.

18. Because psychiatrists are ageist in prescribing tranquilizers, antidepressants ("medication") and electroconvulsive brainwashing for disproportionately large numbers of elderly people - a form of elder abuse.

19. Because psychiatrists are racist in disproportionately incarcerating and drugging people of African descent, aboringal people, other people of colour and labelling them "psychotic" or "schizophrenic".

20. Because psychiatrists routinely violate people's civil rights, human rights and constitutional rights such as imprisoning innocent people without court trial or public hearing ("involuntary commitment"), and subjecting them to cruel and unusual punishments or tortures such as forced drugging, electroconvulsive brainwashing, psychosurgery, solitary confinement, "chemical restraints", and 4-point or 5-point restraints.

21. Because psychiatrists masterminded the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people including disabled children, the elderly and psychiatric patients during The Holocaust in Nazi Germany, and "selected" hundreds of thousands of concentration camp prisoners for death ("T-4 euthanasia" program) - historical facts still missing in psychiatric textbooks and histories.

22. Because psychiatrists have willingly participated in and administered mind-control experiments in the United States and Canada since the early 1950s - its chief targets have been poor patients, women, dissidents and prisoners.

23. Because psychiatry, particularly institutional-biological psychiatry, is based on the 3 Fs: Fear, Fraud,and Force.

24. Because psychiatry is a form of social control or punishment - not treatment.

25. Because psychiatry, particularly institutional-biological psychiatry, is fascist - a direct threat to democracy, human rights and life.

Let me add one to the list here:

26. Because psychiatry of all medical fields and professions have the most practicing atheist - "Psychiatry plays God, instead of recognizing they are at the mercy of God"

Interesting reading and some food for thought!

When Mr. Germ Attacks and more

When Mr. Germ Attacks and more

Do to recent developments concerning a "New Flu Virus", some sound insight and preparation for the coming soon to a theater near you gloom and doom.

_____________________________________________________

From Fox news: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517737,00.html

Mexico Links Sickness, Deaths to Swine Flu

The never-before-seen virus is comprised of bird, swine and human influenza strains, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Cordova says the flu is a “new, different strain that can attack anyone.” He says authorities are investigating whether it is related to an influenza strain reported in Texas and California.

U.S. public health officials said on Thursday that seven people had been diagnosed with a new kind of swine flu in California and Texas.

_______________________________________________

Dearest Blank Of unquestioned distinction and admired grace:

It appears just a tab bit suspicious that all of these variants would come together at such an inconvenient time in are evolutionary process as a species.

I would have to calculate and surmise the odds of such an historical and rare occurrence are about the same as the “New Kids on Block" boy band getting back together and producing a platinum album as equated by my mathematical calculations as it relates to nature, relativity, and likeliness.

Though it's a well established science and propaganda that virus's have the ability to mutate their little germ filled context into almost exact clones and identical copies of Groucho Marx and Paris Hilton if given the proper environmental factors and a creative marketing team with a substantial budget.

The speed and apparent abilities of this particular strain even boggles the mind of the most ardent Observers and protagonist.

Though I am not, and will never be a conspiracy theorist or certified whack job in professional standing. There are some evidential paths that take us to a very precarious and uncomfortable place of recognizance in this preposterous crisis of unimaginable conclusions and eventuality.

I personally have decided to leave no stone unturned in investigating this suspected happenstance, and am seeking advice and the treasured assistance from the mother-ship and my notorious but highly decorated friends the Penguins.

And Though I have undeniable faith in our duty bound and trust worthy elected governmental bodies to insure our safety and health in this mentioned ponderous mini crisis of disastrous abdication.

I have also decided to take some further precautions just in case this situation starts to manifest itself by spinning completely out of control and affecting my TV viewing habits. So as of this morning I have begun to take these following steps to insure that my genetic pool is not infested or tainted by outside influences of viral constipation and interpenetration.

1. I am now in transit to acquire enough plastic materials to create an artificially sterile environmental system in the image of a geodesic dome over my current abode; This will be done by collecting old discarded trash bags and other unused item, and by taking the said acquired materials and gluing them together with a Elmer's craft style sticky stick.

2. I have also placed a modest bid on EBay in an attempt to own the "Boy in the Bubble" set discards from an old Seinfeld Episode.

3. I have committed to drink nothing but 100% pure grain alcohol and filtered rain water from this day forward in the intent of not letting those Socialist Communist forces from contaminating my pristine and pure precious bodily fluids.

4. I have accumulated 14 cases of Hostess Twinkies and Flintstones gummy bear chewable Vitamins which both have a half shelf life of ten thousand years or more; as a well as a documented good source of 11 special herbs and spices which will enable me to sustain life support and function for many months to come.

5. I have also taken steps to curtail my social activities and outside human contacts to "standing on street corners ranting about the end of the world" and "wobbling through neighborhoods dancing to hits like " the Mary Poppins sound track” and "The Sound of Music" to no more than three days a week until further notice.

6. My internet usage will be also curtailed due to the many known viruses that tend to placate with grand verbosity in numerous popular blogs and social networks.

In closing, I would just like to wish each of you wellness and good health. If we are able to survive this small minor inconvenience to our way of life and planetary castration; I feel each of you out there will be made even stronger, more compassionate, and be better off for this experience.

You're always encouraging and thoughtful fan of this blog,

Stan

Enough said on this topic for now I gather?

As always your comments are welcome and will edited to my liking

Addendum: BREAKING GOOD NEWS: FDA approves new Flu Virus Strain for treatment of crouch rot, impotency, ADHD, Narcolepsy, Kidney stones, irretrievable bowel syndrome, and erectile dysfunction.

Update March 2010: Apparently this whole killer flu scare pandemic was just some brain storming creation trumped up by the pharmaceutical giants marketing executives and sales teams. So there is no longer anything to worry about until a new strain of killer flu can be developed in some secret dark dingy lab buried in the bowels of mother earth and big pharma. The only thing we have to worry about now is fear itself (and of course where in the heck all our billions upon billions of dollars went in this colossal hoax and scam)

Ray Sandford - Will This Shocking Crime Never End

Ray Sandford - Will This Shocking Crime Never End?

MAY DAY FOR RAY!

On Friday, 1 May 2009:

Protest to Be Held in Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda to
Stop Forced Electroshock of Minnesota Resident.



MindFreedom International announced that it will peacefully protest the ongoing forced electroshock of Ray Sandford, a 55-year-old resident of Columbia Heights, Minnesota. The protest will take place inside the Rotunda of the Minnesota State Capitol building in St. Paul, Minnesota on Friday, 1 May 2009, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.



A NEWS CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD AT 11 am.

A six-month campaign to stop Sandford's electroshocks has gained international attention. Sandford has been shocked more than 40 times on an outpatient basis under a court order even though he and his family have clearly stated his desire not to be shocked. Sandford lives in a residential group home and is under the general guardianship of Lutheran Social Services.



"It's amazing that a man who is supposedly being protected by
Minnesota court-appointed guardians and who has been represented in court hearings by a Minnesota public defender is suffering this kind of human rights violation," said Al Galves, PhD, a member of the MindFreedom board of directors.



Friday's protest will feature a number of speakers including:



** David Oaks, Executive Director of MindFreedom from Oregon;



** Al Galves, a retired psychologist from New Mexico;



** Louisa Bouta, a long-time activist for psychiatric rights in Minnesota;



** David Culver, a disability advocate; and



** Daryl Trones, a mental health advocate.



A public speak-out will also be held.



Galves said that electroshock -- also known as electroconvulsive therapy or ECT -- subjects the patient to as much as 600 volts of electricity for between one-half and four seconds. "It disables the brain," Galves said.



MindFreedom International is an independent nonprofit coalition of psychiatric survivors and others who advocate for the increased availability of safe, humane and effective care for people who are experiencing psychiatric emergencies and who oppose involuntary treatment.


MindFreedom can be contacted at office@mindfreedom.org.

Sad Clown News- Krusen

Sad Clown: Circus Bars Giant, Floppy Shoes Due to 'Health' Concerns

Fox News and the Sun Report: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517738,00.html

{News article altered for humorous intent and fun}

A circus has saddened a clown after telling him he could no longer wear giant, floppy shoes due to health and safety concerns.

The circus' safety adviser, Harry Halfwitt made the ruling after clown Mark Krusen fell 9-feet and broke his foot during a tight-rope act at a show in Liverpool, England.

He was told that his wacky size 18 shoes violated the circus' insurance policy. Krusen said the ruling is unjustified and started to whine like a spoiled child.

“I feel fine despite the sore foot and I think if I don’t wear the big boots the impact might be lost on the audience," he said. “But now I’ve got to do the balancing act in normal sized shoes and it just won’t be the same.”

Krusen, 60+, hoped to carry on as normal with the Moscow State Circus after his fall during a show at Sefton Park in Liverpool.

His routine includes getting dressed while walking along a cable, and playing drums, trumpet, handing out liberal propaganda literature, and double bass all at the same time.

The safety adviser said the oversized shoes make the act too dangerous.

“The problem is he can’t feel the wire between his feet with the boots on," said Halfwitt. "He’s walking blind.” Krusen responded by saying "what's new".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Sad News indeed, Mr. Krusen who has been a clown masquerading as a human being for countless years; and is now out of work and discovering that life isn't a whole lot of clowning around once that pay checks stop arriving.

Please go over to Mark's Blog - JustaKrusen aka Grumpy Old Fart and give him the encouragement and support he needs during this time of monumental change and suffering {Not as in changing his " Super Man Depends for the incontinent and inactive adult clown either"}.

Disclaimer: This was brought to you as a public service message/announcement, and is not to related too or affiliated with the professional Clown Guild or any other groups that runs "Sad Clown" stories for profit.

soulful sepulcher

soulful sepulcher runs a wonderful blog {and appears to be a pretty good swimmer also}, but there is a whole other side to Steph others rarely see. So Upon the humble request from Mr. Krusen @ JustaKrusen aka Grumpy Old Fart ; I will share these secret vacation photo's I have acquired through some Mother-ship and Penguin underground sources. I want to thanks the Penguin forces and those alien's of distinguished character for this fine gift and their tireless efforts made on my behest.

So here's to you Steph, a hat tip with video and photo's; Enjoy!!!!!

Kay Jamison "The Unquiet Fraud" - More

Kay Jamison "The Unquiet Fraud"

Kay Jamison

Goodwin

Biederman

Geller

“Kay Jamison PhD is without equal in articulating the points of view of both an expert and a patient, with the co-authorship of the definitive text on bipolar and the leading bipolar memoir to her credit. But what makes Dr Jamison truly worth listening to is the simple fact that she is leading a successful life.”

There is no doubt Jamison is without equal – She is the definitive voice of Child bipolar and follows her pal “Biederman” of Harvard shame in the aggressive drugging of children, and yes even pre-school age are included in this fantasy bipolar world she, her notorious cohorts, and the Pharma industry have created.

I believe hawking books and doing Pharma funded studies at Johns Hopkins speaks volumes. Please remember that this “fraud” goes on speaking tours that includes NAMI, DBSA, CABF (Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation) where she is an advisory council member. Here’s the partial list of those nice people wanting to drug your pre-school age child for a supposed illness that has no diagnostic or scientific proof to back up these hideous claims

. I have color highlighted some names of interest; since these names have been in the news as of late and I have posted about their evil intent here on this blog before. I’m sure with the time and resources the other names on this list could be tied to published studies, Pharma influence and money, The FDA, and the whole dirty high stakes game they like to call psychiatry

Yes, all of these names listed below are bought hook, line, and sinker into the bipolar child myth, with each having a vested career stake in this high profit money game of feeding Big Pharma and drugging our children.

Professional Advisory Council

Mani Pavuluri, M.D., PhD, FRANZCP Chair of the CABF Professional Advisory Board Director, Pediatric Mood Disorders Clinic Assistant Professor University of Illinois at Chicago

Kiki Chang, M.D. Associate Professor and Director of Pediatric Bipolar Disorders Program, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, California

Barbara Geller, M.D. (Past Chair) Professor of Psychiatry, Washington University School of Medicine at St. Louis, MO.

Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D. Winner of 2002 MacArthur Foundation "Genius Award", Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD; author of "An Unquiet Mind," "Touched With Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament," and "Night Falls Fast: Understanding Suicide. Co-author (with Frederick K. Goodwin, M.D.) of the classic textbook Manic-Depressive Illness.

Joseph Biederman, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Chief, Clinical and Research in Pediatric Psychopharmacology Massachusetts General Hospital and McLean Hospital.

“Cristina Romero-Sierra” was present last year when Dr Jamison addressed a DBSA group, and wrote much of this piece I’m commenting on here while guest blogging on John “McPimp’s” Mcmamy “I want to be a journalist so bad it hurts; Jeez,now if I could only write and had something to really say” web site.

So I thought in the interest of full disclosure and debate we should really analyze what was said.



“Dr. Jamison spoke about many thought-provoking subjects as they relate to mental illness, one of which I’d like to share with you here. The subject here is getting treatment to develop a stable ecosystem within a brain that suffers from mental illness.”

“Stable ecosystem within a brain that suffers from mental illness” That’s quite a nice choice of words, are we going to say bipolar attributes to global warming next also?

This is just a fancy way to say they believe that mental illness is a chemical imbalance that is all biologically based with direct genetic ties. Yet they have no proof or real science to back up those claims; while touting how great the drugs we use are in treating these made up mental illnesses.

Let me also state here that these people have never cured a single person with those great treatments they so ardently believe in, and that obviously do more harm than good. But what the heck, there is big money and professor/literary fame in the Myth.

“Dr. Jamison read from her classic memoir, "An Unquiet Mind," in which she recalls her pre-lithium highs:

"The ideas and feelings are fast and frequent, like shooting stars, and you follow them until you find better and brighter ones. Shyness goes. The right words and gestures are suddenly there, the power to captivate others a felt certainty."

But when the mania turns into manic psychosis, she wrote:

"The fast ideas are far too fast and there are far too many. Overwhelming confusion replaces clarity. Memory goes. Humor and absorption on friends’ faces are replaced by fear and concern. Everything previously moving with the grain is now against. You are irritable, angry, frightened, uncontrollable and enmeshed totally in the blackest caves of your mind. You never knew those caves were there."

“I don’t know that anybody really knows how the brain mutates and changes over the years," Dr. Jamison acknowledged in response to a question from her audience.”

Sounds like the classic altered constitution, with lots of self aggrandizing as in the “the Unquiet Fraud” to me. I just love this line where she states ““I don’t know that anybody really knows how the brain mutates and changes over the years”. What do you mean you don’t know? Isn’t this the basis for drugging every one up to and including the kitchen sink? But you don’t know!!! Yet, all these drugs are great whatever they do, to whatever it is or isn’t! Now that’s some nice hard science we have in Psychiatry.

"I would say at the most simplistic level is that if you took a scan of your brain on one manic episode, you would prefer to have that brain than the brain on five or six or seven manic episodes."

That’s funny, are you making a socialist judgment call here or proclaiming hard science Jamison? You have the University lab and tons of pharma bucks, and you are saying you can’t prove that mania causes and continues to cause brain damage as you state? Please prove that one for us all. You want to pull up all those brain scans you have done and show us how scientific you’re evidence is? I didn’t think so, just more Psycho babble conjecture! Oh yes, please don’t be pulling up those medicated brains and using them, because we know that damage is caused by the treatment drugs and not the mania.

“The cumulative effect on the brain of repeated manias, she said, is "one of the most compelling arguments for staying on your medications and being aggressively treated."

"You can’t keep having heart attacks," she emphasized. "You can’t keep having strokes. You can’t keep having depression and you can’t keep having manias, without paying a biologic cost.”

The longer the brain is stable, Dr. Jamison went on to say, the longer it stays stable:

"The brain is like a pond. It’s like an ecosystem. You want to get the ideal ecosystem and then you don’t want to disturb it very much. So you don’t want to be messing around with drugs. You don’t want to be messing around with sleep. You don’t want to be messing around with alcohol. You want to really create a stable environment."

Now this is some mighty circle jerk speak {laughing}

Maybe your mind is this nice well medicated pond; I sure hope those endangered fish and frogs don’t get wind of those drugs you’re touting, or you may have PETA angrily knocking on your door. Jeez, wrong again, these drugs are already tainting the water supply and destroying your nice stable little pond for everyone.

Now you can’t show us what bipolar really is on a biochemical basis (or just guess)? Yet, you compare mental illness to heart attacks and stroke? I believe medicine can show what a stroke and heart are in real medical terms as in brain lesions, tissue damage,, clots, of heart or brain. Would you please show us the real damage in your mentally ill brain? I would really like to see those child brains you have studied and show us the real evidence? OH! That’s right you have none!

“Dr. Jamison said the early manias "were absolutely intoxicating states.” “It took me far too long to realize that lost years in relationships cannot be recovered. The damage done to oneself and others cannot always be put right again and the freedom from the control imposed by medication loses its meaning when the only alternatives are death and insanity.”

“The major problem in treating bipolar illness from a clinical perspective is not that there are no effective medications, because there are. It is, rather, that patients so often refuse to take them. Worse yet, because of lack of information, poor medical advice…or fear of personal or professional reprisals, they do not seek treatment at all.”

Ok, you can’t show us the illness in real science, but here we go with the effective medications propaganda! How effective are they? I mean studies are now showing the cure causes more damage than the so called illness. So all these side effects must be just part of the illness than, and all the patients fault. Heard that nugget of pure wisdom doled out a million times from people that don’t have any real answers or a clue about reality. Your right about poor medical advice though; since you give it out in bunches all the time.

You have a lot of guts and ego going there to actually question personal choice of patients that refuse and reject your witch doctor non- cures .May I add that the lack of information you refer too in mainly in your profession as in tainted research, lack of real science, greed, bad conclusions, psychiatry’s narcissistic ego gone bonkers, professor status, and propaganda for the pharma dollars shell game.

“But once you’ve figured that out – the combination of medications, psychotherapy, lifestyle routine, and so forth – then you have a real shot at having a stable life. It’s really very frustrating, because that initial period has a level of difficulty.”

Dr. Jamison takes lithium. For many years, because she was on high doses of lithium, she suffered serious side effects. Standard practice is now lower doses, on which she has fewer side effects now. Her first two rules of her "Rules for the Gracious Acceptance of Lithium into Your Life" are: “1) Clear out the medicine cabinet before guests arrive for dinner or new lovers stay the night. 2) Remember to put lithium back into the cabinet the next day.”

I bet those shot kidneys really add to your argument Kay. Especially, that Silly and nonsensical crap "Rules for the Gracious Acceptance of Lithium into Your Life”.

How about you take your lithium poison in giant spoon full’s. Then stop messing with the world's children, and just let them be who they are “KIDS”.

It wasn’t to awfully long ago that being a kid with behaviors "like exploring and testing limits" was actually considered normal. That’s until your kind came along and saw some huge dollars in the business of creating mental illness and political correct social nanny-ism aka intrusion, leading to huge profit by Pharma and Psychiatry.

I just call it, as I see it – and this time around, I call out the psychiatric fraud “Kay Jamison” with a Humongous BULLSHIT

So this is what "Change" looks like!
