I'm being slandered and lied about by people involved in a crime and their
supporters. Any eavesdropping, wiretapping or any invasion of my privacy
whatsoever is either criminal or tortious. What they're doing is a crime.
They would have absolutely no right either morally or legally. They're
simply criminals. Criminals lying about their victim. Use Common sense there's
a motive for them to lie about me.
Sexual comments being made about be are outrageous an completely inappropriate.
I'm not doing anything to encourage any of it. Any sexual comments, comments
about oral sex or anything like that aren't coming from me, they don't have
anything to do with me. The only thing like that would be me making remarks
about psychiatrists being quack cocksuckers. Those remarks were made in my
home, in private. Anything sexual about me is nobody's business. Again any
intrusion into my privacy is completely unwanted so the talk is inappropriate
and harassing.
I would never believe that I was Jesus Christ, that there are demons or that
I have magical powers. It's just schizophrenic sounding bullshit. Again, I've
said it on this weblog before, I'm an atheist. I have no religious beliefs at
all. I would never say anything other than saying I'm an atheist if someone
asked or if someone starts a conversation with me about the subject.
A lot of what's being said is simply defamatory. People should really look
into the motives and the personality types of the persons making the comments.
I think there's a type of malign thought association involved with some
of the false accusations. What I mean is the accuser is associating his
own thoughts and impulses, some which are sexual, in a slanderous way. The
accusations don't have anything to with me or anything I think now or anything
I ever thought in the past. The accusations are false and I think there's
something seriously wrong with the person making them.
Thomas Szasz makes the comparison between coercive psychiatry and slavery
in his books Psychiatric Slavery and Liberation by Oppression. I think the
comparison is a very relevant and enlightening one. Readers should check out
this review of Liberty by Oppression here.
A group called the Treatment Advocacy Center is group that advocates for
forced treatment arguing that people who were given psychiatric labels
like bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia sometimes become dangerous and lack
insight into their illness. This group makes it sound like the number one
reason why someone would stop taking extremely harmful, intolerable and
ineffective drugs is a lack of insight into their illness. This is a group
that often over hypes violence to further it's forced treatment agenda. In
a debate with Judi Chamberlin of the National Empowerment Center
on forced treatment, psychiatrist E. Fuller Torrey, president of the
Treatment Advocacy Center states this about the part of the brain impaired
when someone lacks awareness of their illness:
Scientifically, it has been shown in many recent studies that 40% to
50% of individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have an
impaired awareness of their illness (also called impaired insight).
Their illness has impaired the function of the prefrontal cortex,
which is part of the brain that is used for self reflection and to
appreciate ones own needs.
Is it an illness impairing the function of the prefrontal cortex? Are the
drugs given to people in any way to blame for the impairment while on and
while off the drugs? In this interview with Nancy C. Andreason she talks
about a group of people labeled with schizophrenia that she's been following
since 1989. She found that people with schizophrenia are losing brain
tissue at a rate of 1 percent per year. The more drugs a persons been given
the more brain tissue they lose. When asked why she thought this was happening
she stated:
Well, what exactly do these drugs do? They block basal ganglia activity.
The prefrontal cortex doesn't the input it needs and is being shut down
by drugs. That reduces the psychotic symptoms. It also causes the prefrontal
cortex to slowly atrophy.
The folks at TAC may be advocating for treatment that causes the very condition
they then use to justify forced treatment.
I happened to see an episode of the Dr. Phil show on bipolar disorder a while
back. I don't own a television and I rarely ever watch TV, it's one of the
few times I've ever seen the show, probably the only time I ever sat down
to watch the whole thing. In it there was a guy named fred labeled with bipolar
disorder. They did fMRI of Fred's head and they found that there were a couple
things abnormal about Fred's fMRI. First thing they found was that there was
damage to Fred's brain that looked a lot like this pattern of brain damage.
They also found that voxels representing an area occupied by Fred's amygdala
lit up, something they attributed to anxiety that could have also indicated
that Fred was happy or sad during the imaging or something else.
I saw the show a long time ago, I could be wrong about the pattern of damage
or atrophy. It's something I thought readers might find interesting.
