Mohawk Nation News: Science of Evil


SCIENCE OF EVIL
Mohawk Nation News
http://www.mohawknationnews.com/

MNN. Mar. 6, 2010. Evil is man-made immorality and a main influence on Western society. Capitalism and self-promotion are the main values. It is created by psychopaths, based on slavery and "warfare." Warfare is mass murder of those who refuse to fit in. The European Crusades murdered millions.

Psychopaths suffer from several behavior and emotional disorders. They pursue their goals through violence. They designed social hierarchies that rely on deceit, create suffering, enslave people by seizing their labor and its fruits, and set up leaders, priests and PR men to promote their goals.

Thousands of years ago the European masses separated the natural survival instinct that normally works alongside the intellect. Like domestic animals, their traditions were bred out. People without conscience rose to the top.

Criminals and adventurers came to Great Turtle Island and preyed on non-psychopathic Indigenous peoples. They stole continents and mass murdered the inhabitants.

Psychology and psychiatry are dangerous tools of the psychopaths. The Nazis in WW II applied mythical psychology and psychiatry on the masses to herd them into fascism. After the war, these experts set up these sciences in Canada, US, Britain and elsewhere.

Experiments have been done on how to bring Indigenous into the psychopathic boat. In Canada and the US residential and boarding schools kidnapped our kids to mentally, sexually and physically abuse them. It didn’t work. The colonial band and tribal council systems are trying to finish the job.

Lying is a major offence in Indigenous culture. No one has the right to distort reality. The natural world is true. Animals and plants can’t lie or be psychopathic.

Our emotional life is a mystery to psychopaths. We subconsciously resist them. The natural world is a balanced and realistic interrelationship. Intuition resolves the issues.

The essence of life is to create a natural conscience. Though we are equal, we are each unique and meant to work together to resolve issues of survival. Differences bring us together, not to kill each other.

Psychiatry can be used for political purposes. Mohawk critics can be designated as “mentally abnormal” and sent for psychiatric assessment where the testing is controlled by them. Australian Aboriginies won a major land claims case. They were declared incompetent. Their communities have been quarantined and run by the military.

Psychopathic society favors narcissists. Sometimes someone has to win big to show that the fake American Dream works, such as Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, lotteries, etc. The Dream is based on such myths as: “Look out for Number 1”, “Follow your dreams”, “I believe”, “If you work hard, you too can become rich” and “Failure is your own fault”. Anyone can lie, cheat and destroy to win, no matter who gets hurt.

Mainstream emotions are demonstrated for them by pop-culture, movies, TV, books and what psychologists tell them. Like music, styles of romance are adjusted over time.

The past is not taught and the future is apocalyptic science fiction. They need adrenaline highs and thrills make them feel alive. Spectator sports help the masses accept pathological thinking as being normal. Olympics are to be watched, not taken part in.

Psychopathic government, media, military and corporations control the masses. Their narcotic is mindless entertainment, sports, gambling, fear and pleasure. The masses stay willfully blind. They expect the state to look after them. They wait for the media to tell them how to think, feel, what to do and wait for the messiah!

Top level psychopaths grow up in stable, well-to-do families, become white collar criminals and their private destructive behaviors are never exposed. The intuitive frontal area of the brain that protects life seems missing. Another’s life is worthless. They constantly study those who still function normally. We are over-studied but still misunderstood.

Religious fantasies can mask the loss of conscience. They preach unfounded duality, such as good and bad, heaven and hell and black and white. Nuances of human existence are ignored.

Cults form another illusion. New Agers say, “if enough people believe something is true, then it’s true." Shouldn’t beliefs be based on facts? The psychopaths create the facts which they promote through propaganda, their leaders, talking heads and “experts”. Lying is called the “new reality."
They fear being found out. The criminal syndicates overlapping and underlying ordinary people are being threatened, such as the CIA, international bankers, economic hit men, corrupt military, corporate predators, political enablers and the mind raping media. Loss of control is forcing them to create catastrophic events to incite terror and rage in the masses.

What is the conspiracy of the psychopaths?

War is their drug. Nuclear weapons have made war obsolete. The substitute is the fake “war on terror."

Wars are ritualized mass murders of non-psychopaths. Five percent of soldiers are natural born killers without consciences. The rest are trained to become competent killers. Military science is developing ways to overcome the instinctive human reluctance to kill people.

Every creature in creation has an instinct for self-preservation. Passive masses have lost the will to resist. Their broken spirit and relentless training doesn’t even require their masters to hold their reins.

Differences are a law of nature. Creativity is a gift to humanity, to help societies develop complex interrelationships, both collective and individual, through true knowledge of the past and future. Variety is more important to survival than if we were all the same. Lifelong self-awareness develops a mature natural conscience. Each person’s artistic expression must be nurtured for the sake of humanity. Pathocrats are genuinely not creative. They need artists and natural people to relate to the people, land and environment. Without creativity they will eventually perish.

Life is worthy. The Indigenous minds can go back to our way through observing nature, speaking our language and seeking the knowledge of our elders.

ADHD Is Not a Disease

ADHD“Hey, Phillip… do you mind if I sit here and eat with you?” I asked.

“Sure, whatever…”

“How’s school going? Are you doing well?”

“Not really. I just want it to be summer.”

“Yeah, I remember how that used to feel,” I told him.

Phillip is eleven years old. He’s the son of some family friends and I was at a small party when I saw him sitting by himself. I hadn’t seen him for a few years, so I wanted to remind him who I was and get to know him a little better.

As he became comfortable, he opened up a bit more. He told me his plans for the summer. He told me about his friends and the girl he likes at school. And he also told me that he didn’t care for school all that much.

“It’s hard,” he said. “Plus, I have ADHD, so I don’t pay attention very well.”

“Really? How do you know you have ADHD?” I asked.

“That’s what my doctor said. He said I’ve had it since I was born. That’s why I have to take medicine.”

“Well, I think you’re just fine. How does that medicine make you feel?”

“It used to make me kinda nervous,” he said. “And I couldn’t go to sleep when I took it. Now, it just makes me not want to eat.”

After complimenting Phillip on his manners and intelligence, I changed the subject back to his plans for the summer. But what he said bothered me. Here was a bright young boy who was bored and frustrated in school… who probably had a few behavioral problems… and who had now been labeled as having a “disease” and put on medication.

And, unfortunately, Phillip is just one of millions…

I was bothered by his story because I could only imagine what that would do to the psyche and development of a child to be handed a lifelong sentence like that from a doctor. You are broken. You are defective. Your brain doesn’t work right. You are not acceptable in your natural state, but taking these drugs every day can help you.

It might be one thing if ADHD was actually a “disease”… but it’s not.

In 1987, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was voted into existence by the American Psychiatric Association and inserted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Yes, that’s right… the “disease” was “voted” into existence.

Can you imagine if we had to take a “vote” to determine whether cancer is a disease… or diabetes… or heart disease? That would be patently ludicrous. But every year, more and more disorders are voted into the DSM.

In the case of ADHD, psychiatrists made a list of the most common behaviors among children that parents and teachers object to — and then termed them a disease. Within one year, more than half a million children were “diagnosed.”

Since then, the number of behaviors that constitute the disorder has continued to grow. There are now 18 of them. That opens the door for even more children to be labeled and then put on drugs.

Today, most ADHD “testing” consists of parents, teachers, school administrators, or social workers checking off these behaviors as observed at home and in the classroom. A doctor reviews the checklist, and if six or more of these behaviors are exhibited, then the child is “diagnosed” with ADHD. In almost every case, the treatment is pharmaceutical.

Today, the “epidemic” of ADHD has grown to about seven million young people in the U.S. Most of these children are on medication. And if you add in the numbers that are on antidepressants and other psychotropic medications, the number is over 10 million. That is larger than the entire population of New York City!

You might ask, where were these kids when I was growing up?

Dr. Russell Barkley, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts, has the answer for that. They were there, he says. “They were the class clowns. […] Back then, we didn’t have a professional label for them.

“They were the lazy kids, the no-good kids, the dropouts, the delinquents, the lay-about ne’er-do-wells who were doing nothing with their lives. Now we know better. Now we know that it is a real disability, that it is a valid condition…”

They were the dropouts, huh? The kids who didn’t fit in? The kids who found traditional schooling to be hostile, boring, and unacceptable? I wonder if Barkley was referring to “dropouts” like:

  • Bill Gates & Paul Allen (college dropouts, cofounders of Microsoft)
  • Sir Richard Branson (high school dropout, founder of the Virgin Group)
  • Michael Dell, Larry Ellison, and Steve Jobs (college dropouts, computer company founders)
  • Kirk Kerkorian (eighth-grade dropout, billionaire)
  • William Faulkner (high school and college dropout, Nobel Prize-winning novelist)
  • Ray Kroc (high school dropout, founder of McDonald’s)
  • Dave Thomas (high school dropout, founder of Wendy’s)

Almost certainly, if many of these men were in school today, they would be “labeled” with a mental disorder.

The pharmaceutical companies and modern psychiatry represent ADHD to be a biological abnormality of the brain. Along with many other “mental illnesses,” it is often said to be caused by that catch-all phrase — “a chemical imbalance.”

The problem is that psychiatry has never validated ADHD as a biological entity. They have never shown even the slightest bit of proof of a “chemical imbalance” or that this is an actual brain disease. And yet, millions of children and parents are told fraudulently that this is the case.

Dr. Fred Baughman is a respected pediatric neurologist who has been in practice for 35 years. He knows what a real disease is. So, from 1993 to 1997, he doggedly pursued correspondence with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Ciba-Geigy (the original manufacturers of Ritalin), and top ADHD researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health. He asked them to show him ANY peer-reviewed scientific literature proving a physical or chemical aberration that would qualify ADHD as a disease or a medical syndrome.

After years of persistence, Dr. Baughman finally got these groups to admit that there is NO objective validation for ADHD. Today, the National Institutes of Health state that, “We do not have an independent, valid test for ADHD, and there is no data to indicate that ADHD is due to a brain malfunction.”

And yet, hundreds of thousands of doctors still “label” children as diseased and prescribe powerful and dangerous drugs for something that they have admitted they can’t prove. That is not medicine. It is fraud.

And many doctors and social workers push these drugs forcefully and manipulatively. I heard of one doctor who asked a parent, “If your child had diabetes, you would give him insulin, wouldn’t you?”

Unfortunately, that parent probably didn’t know enough to tell the doctor that diabetes can be measured — either by blood sugar abnormalities or pancreatic malfunction — while ADHD cannot.

When you go to a doctor, they take blood, they do X-rays. They don’t ask how you behave. And yet, that is how the “disease” of ADHD (along with depression and many other “mental illnesses”) is diagnosed.

Thomas Szasz, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the State University of New York, says, “No behavior or misbehavior can be a disease. That is not what diseases are.”

Diseases are malfunctions of the human body. For example, typhoid fever is a disease. Spring fever? Not so much. Spring fever is a metaphor. It is a figure of speech… just like most mental illnesses. And yet, the treatment for this figure of speech is now worth billions of dollars a year.

Though there are now many drugs used to treat ADHD, Ritalin (methylphenidate) is one of the most common. In 1970, there were an estimated 150,000 U.S. children taking Ritalin. Today, the number is estimated to be higher than five million. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, the production of methylphenidate increased 700% between 1990 and 1997!

And the trend is to “diagnose” children at younger and younger ages. According a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, prescriptions for two- to four-year-olds increased by almost 300% between 1991 and 1995. I didn’t search for more recent statistics, but you can be sure the trend has continued.

And despite what those who promote them might say… these are NOT safe and harmless medications.

Ritalin, for example, is classified by the FDA and the DEA as a Schedule II Controlled Substance. It is listed in the same category as methamphetamines, cocaine, morphine, and Dilaudid (among other powerful illegal and prescription drugs). These drugs are powerful. They can cause harm. And they carry a significant risk of abuse.

Most ADHD drugs are a class of amphetamine. On the street, these stimulants are commonly known as “speed.” And while “speed” can increase alertness and productivity, the trajectory is crash and burn.

But what are the risks of long-term use of these drugs, especially by developing children?

These drugs have been known to cause depression and psychotic states. And they can be the cause of real neurological disorders like epilepsy and seizures. They can also lead to physical dependence and have been shown to precipitate illegal drug abuse.

Studies have also shown that ADHD drugs stunt the physical growth of children and cause the brain to atrophy and shrink.

But of course, the biggest risk is death. In fact, research funded by the National Institute of Mental Health showed that children and teens on drugs such as Ritalin have a 500% higher risk of sudden death than would be typical for children of a similar age and health status.

Not surprisingly, long-term use can increase the risk of heart attack.

And cancer is a known risk, too. In one study, researchers identified twelve children who met the criteria for ADHD in the DSM-IV and were to begin taking methylphenidate in daily doses between 20 and 54 mg. Because the test group was small, each child was used as his or her own control.

Chromosomal abnormalities in blood cells were measured before starting the treatment. Then these same tests were performed after three months of taking the medication. Three separate chromosomal abnormalities were evaluated. In every single child, significant increases in chromosomal aberrations were measured. On average, the aberrations increased by 323% following treatment. Researchers believe that greater frequencies of these aberrations equate to an increased risk of cancer.

And to balance out these significant risks… there are absolutely NO long-term studies that show positive effects from these drugs on learning, academic standards, or social behavior.

Certainly there are children who are misbehaving at school and at home. There are kids who are unable to achieve self-control. There are those who are unusually hyperactive.

But in the vast majority of cases, these kids do not need medication. They certainly do not need to be exposed to the dangers of these drugs. But do their doctors ever ask what kind of foods, preservatives, and additives these children are exposed to? Do they inquire about nutrition or give advice about the many ways that the foods children eat, the toxins they are exposed to, and the nutrients they are missing can affect mood and behavior? Of course, most doctors do not. That would require too much effort and follow-up. It is much easier (and more profitable) to write a quick prescription and usher in a new patient.

Today, we are constantly told to protect our children from drug abuse. And yet, there are some disturbing exceptions to that rule. Thomas Szasz put it well when he said, “Labeling a child as mentally ill is stigmatization, not diagnosis. Giving a child a psychiatric drug is poisoning, not treatment.”

Psychiatry: Fraud in the Name of Science and Humanism

On Saturday, 20/September, the XIVth World Congress of Psychiatry opens its doors in Prague, Chech Republic. Their motto is “Science and Humanism: For a Person-Centered Psychiatry” What a blatant lie!

First of all, psychiatry is NOT a science. For what is science? Let’s see a few definitions:

“a systematically organized body of knowledge on any subject”
“the study of the physical and natural world and phenomena, especially by using systematic observation and experiment”
“the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding”
“knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method”

How does this apply to psychiatry?

“In 1886, Emil Kraepelin, the undisputed founder of modern psychiatry as a medical specialty and science, declared: “Our science has not arrived at a consensus on even its most fundamental principles, let alone on appropriate ends or even on the means to those ends.” Eighty years later, the encyclopedic American Handbook of Psychiatry opened with this statement: “Perhaps no other field of human endeavor is so … difficult to define as that of psychiatry.” Andrew Lakoff, a professor of sociology at the University of California in San Diego, airily opines: “Two centuries after its invention, psychiatry’s illnesses have neither known causes nor definitive treatments.”

Theodor Meynert, an Austrian psychiatrist stated in his textbook in 1984 that “The reader will find no other definition of ‘Psychiatry’ in this book but the one given on the title page: Clinical Treatise on Diseases of the Forebrain. The historical term for psychiatry, i.e., ‘treatment of the soul,’ implies more than we can accomplish, and transcends the bounds of accurate scientific investigation.”

Clearly put. A “science” that is illogical already in its name! How can one then expect logical principles, theories and methods from such a branch?

Here are some examples of methods used in psychiatry:

This event was reported in a letter to the editor of Psychiatric News, by Natalie Shainess, recounting a personal encounter with such “research” at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Atlanta, in May, 1978. “Arriving late in the evening at the Omni Hotel,” she writes, “I was unpacking when my phone rang at about 11:30 p.m. Wondering who might be calling at that hour, I picked up the phone receiver to hear a man’s voice say, ‘Would you like us to send up a gentleman to pleasure you?” Offended by this offer, Dr. Shainess interrogated the hotel manager about the incident, only to learn that “a member of the American Psychiatric Association was conducting a piece of sex research and had arranged for 25 women arriving alone to receive this call.” By representing himself as a scientific investigator, this unidentified psychiatrist deceived not only his victims, but also the hotel manager.”

“The low level of intellectual effort was shocking. Diagnoses were developed by majority vote on the level we would use to choose a restaurant. You feel like Italian, I feel like Chinese, so let’s go to the cafeteria. Then it’s typed into a computer.” – a psychologist, about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders

But let’s assume that indeed, in the field of psychiatry there exist laboratory tests and other means, generally used in real sciences like medicine, to observe phenomena and find solutions to problems.

We see publications and news all the time about a new psychiatric drug being developed, a “new pattern of the brain function” discovered, that “recent study shows that substance ABC is present/missing in the brain of patients suffering from XYZ mental disorder. Scientists add that developing a new medicine will give hope to these patients”, and so on.

I am not a physician, chemist, neurologist or any of the like, but one doesn’t need 3 university degrees to ask this simple question: how do they prove that a mental condition (i.e. feeling depressed, sad, stressed, etc) is caused by the cherished term of “chemical imbalance” and not the way around?

Well, they don’t. Plainly by their authoritarian powers, psychiatrists claim such “truths”, lobbying in the media, governments, official medicine et al, to spread obviously irrational statements, “search results”.

How can one believe that a woman who has lost her family, is unhappy because of a chemical imbalance in her brain, therefore she needs to take pills as a treatment?

How can one believe that an overworked manager is stressed because of certain substance in his brain and it can be corrected with a drug? Will he be not overworked any more?

How can one believe that a lively child has to be “cooled down” with drugs, because he has a “deficiency”? (As a personal experience: when my son was 6, he was diagnosed with ADHD, because he got bored of the stupid questions of the psychologist testing him if he was matured enough to go to school, and instead of sitting nicely on the chair through 45 minutes, wanted to go out and play with the other kids…)

It’s very easy to believe such idiocies, one just needs to stop thinking for himself and believe everything the alleged experts have to say.

It is also interesting to observe that all these “scientific studies” lead to developing newer and newer drugs, to “handle” certain “mental disorders”. If you are curious about how the giant pharmaceutical companies have a vast amount of power to cook the results of drug tests and make researchers and even the FDA itself bow to their will and how they also use their power and money to silence their critics, just do a google search on these two terms: psychiatry and pharmaceutical industry.

This way it is no wonder that the upcoming congress of psychiatrists is sponsored by 4 drug companies: Lundbeck, Lilly, Pfizer and Krka. It would be a fantastic naivety to assume that the manufacturers and sellers of psychiatric drugs finance this event merely out of humanity, with the glorious intent of helping Mankind to get rid of unwanted mental conditions…

Lundbeck for instance, made donations of DKK 281 million in 2007 for scientific researches. That is to say they gave this much money for studies that will prove that an effective drug is needed to handle certain problem. And guess who will produce and sell that drug?

A key section of their website is about finances, inviting investors to this highly profitable business. Money, money, money…

After looking at only a very few aspects of how “scientific” psychiatry, let’s see quickly what about humanism.

Instead of a long essay here, please remember One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest which was not Ken Kesey’s artistic exaggeration or imagination of what was going on in psychiatry institutes – and sadly what is still the case today.

But by now, psychiatry emphasizes the use of a “more human” method: giving drugs to the patients is much milder.

Is it really? Taking a look at these short videos on real stories of children who got psychiatric drugs will tell more than would a thousand words.

I hope that for the occasion of their great gathering, this writing helps you to classify modern psychiatry as it is: a harmful pseudo-science.

MORE ON THE FRAUD OF PSYCHIATRY
by Justice Lover

The following link is to a video in which all the participants are psychiatrists in the USA. All, except for one, Dr. Fred Baughman, MD, who is an American neurologist. He is even more qualified to pass judgement on psychiatry, because neurology is the only medical science which studies the human brain, therefore exclusively qualified to determine if it has any mental illness. He is also exclusively qualified because he is a honest professional who, unlike many of his colleagues, has not been bribed by Big Pharma to collaborate with the shrinks of psychiatry to the detriment of their patients.

This brief , but convincing video leads to the inevitable conclusion, namely, that rather than a "medical specialty" that psychiatry purports to be, it is a fascist quackery which is based on fraud, and serves the ruling class only.

It is fascist because its "treatments" are imposed on its patients-victims, thus torturing them to death, or maiming them if they stay alive !
