Political Correctness Vs. Free Speech
"The main problem with political correctness is that the concept itself is both irrational and diametrically opposed to the Western notion of free speech." Some believe that PC derives from the efforts to create the therapeutic state in this country. Others believe that the PC movement began in the Frankfort School and moved to New York when the Nazis took power in Germany. The KGB under Oleg Kalugin encouraged this in order to divide Americans. They did a great job of that. See 22 minute video at

The tyranny of political correctness
Ironically, political correctness is only able to make certain people comfortable by instilling a culture of fear in everyone else, since no one wants to risk being labeled a bigot.

US Government Unemployed Statistics
"I want to see a doctor's note before I allow you to read on."
"That number also includes people who say they retired and others who were fortunate enough to have died during the past month and no longer require a job."

"Now the Obama administration says it has created or "saved" a million jobs."
"Last week, if I remember correctly, the figure was 640,000."
"Mr. Obama, if you keep saving jobs at the current rate we'll all be unemployed."

Hypocrisy in Action
"It was fascinating to see Barack Obama warning us not to leap to conclusions about the killings at Fort Hood, Texas – after the way he leaped to conclusions over the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, when he knew less about the facts than we already know about the massacre at Fort Hood."
"One of the few advantages to the country in having Congress overwhelmingly in the hands of one party is that the lack of need to compromise lets the leaders of that party reveal themselves for what they are – in this case, people with unbounded arrogance and utter contempt for the right of ordinary people to live their lives as they see fit, much less the right to know as citizens what laws are going to be passed by their government." This applies to MA state government especially.

"Our politically correct Army [. . .] won't utter the word "terrorism." [. . .] leaving you unsure whether there was a traffic accident down at Fort Hood, or maybe an outbreak of swine flu."
"A dirty big secret in our Army has been that officers' promotion boards have quotas for minorities. We don't call them quotas, of course. But if a board doesn't hit the floor numbers, its results are held up until the list has been corrected. It's almost impossible for the Army's politically correct promotion system to pass over a Muslim physician."

Political correctness needs to die a sudden and permanent death. The way we are headed, each soldier can have a jihadist take cover in his foxhole.
When the Muslim communities stand up and point out that they don't support the mosques that are teaching jihad, then I will have more faith in what they are saying.
There was a reason for interning the Japanese when we were at war with their country, and it served a duel purpose: to keep them safe if innocent and out of our way if they were not. I apologize to no one for that.
Thank you for an honest assessment of the attack.

Self-medicating Psychiatrists and Violence
Is the reason psychiatrists have the highest suicide rate among professionals they cannot tolerate all of the whining from their patients? Is that why they resort to medicating those who whine to them? Perhaps Hasan took some of his own medicine and then stopped causing him to become violent as the many high school shooters and others did before him. How much violence is caused by psychiatry and the drug industry?

Police Have No Oversight
Police are out of control just as the FBI is. One reason is voters elect weak politicians who sharing relaxed rectitude with the voters. Police intimidate politicians who are reluctant to criticize anyone who can sue them. Police run cities and towns. The FBI runs the US government sharing power with their partners in organized crime. It is all about business.

Health Care is Expensive Because?
"Doctors in America spend more time with their patients: 20 minutes in the US vs. 10 minutes in most European countries vs. 3 minutes in Japan. And our doctors earn more. 'In other countries, doctors are paid by the state.'”
"physicians in the US claim that 15% of total US health care expenditures go towards fighting malpractice claims."
“In Europe, if you cannot afford a lawyer you cannot sue. And if you lose, you have to pay the court costs of the winning party.”

NYPD Drags Black Woman From her Home
Here is situation similar to what happened to multi millionaire tenured Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates. Within one week the President of the US a Harvard law grad said the Cambridge police acted stupidly. I do not recall hearing any comment from Obama regarding this woman's law suit. Does Obama abuse his power only for Harvard affiliates? Does he abuse his power only for wealthy people? Why is he silent about this woman's plight? Does he fear criticizing the NYPD?

This article described what [mind control] victims describe, the general cluster of symptoms.

thirty years later. This report describes what is classified and the science of mind control weapons, I think. Researchers today don't conduct the "EMR approach" to research.

Psychologist Mumbo-Jumbo
"Prof. Gilbert believes that the limited mental capacities of humans impose limits on the accuracy of predictions about the emotional impact of future events.
[. . .]
Professor Gilbert does not believe humans have the capacity to systematically prevent errors in mental simulations.
[. . .]
Despite the failure of predictions to account for dynamic circumstances, humans tend to adapt or rationalize outcomes to make themselves feel better.
[. . .]
Human beings are all basically the same.”
It is curious that a psychologist lectures law students about the inability of humans to predict the future accurately. But he fails to note the nonsensical practice of psychiatrists and psychologists making predictions in court which are used to determine taking freedom from or granting freedom to a person. Hello?
What is most hilarious about his comments is "Human beings are all basically the same." Then why not incarcerate all of them?

"WE NOTICED"
This was written by Sherry Hackett, Buddy Hackett's widow........
President Obama:
Today I read of your administration's plan to re-define September 11 as a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.........
During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition.
YES, "We noticed."
During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intended to visit all 57 states.
We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.
YES, "We noticed."
When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.
YES, "We noticed."
Every time you apologized to other countries for America's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.
YES, "We noticed."
When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America" and said that 9/11 was "America's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.
YES, "We noticed."
When you announced that you would transform America, we wondered why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one.
YES, "We noticed."
All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and her traditions.
YES, "We noticed."
You are 9 months into your term and every morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.
YES, "We noticed."
We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled "un-American", "racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out.
YES, "We noticed."
On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans.
And YES, "We noticed."
There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.
YES, "We noticed."
September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is...a disgrace.
YES, "We noticed."
You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.
YES, "We noticed."
We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office.
Take notice.

Defense Department Plane Has Hi-tech Defense Shielding
"Gates was flying on what is often called 'the Doomsday Plane,' a specially outfitted 747 that looks like a bulkier Air Force One and was built to wage retaliatory nuclear war from the skies. Its hull contains metal wiring to shield its avionics from the electromagnetic pulse emitted by nuclear explosions, and a super-reflective coat of paint renders it what the military calls 'thermal radiation protected.'”

I believe it is time to really make a stand for our beliefs and values.
I Only hope we find GOD again before it is too late
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different. This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham 's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'
In light of recent events ... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein

I am proud to be white
[Attributed to Michael Richards. I disagree with his premise that only white people are racists. I complain about black racists often. Ed.]
This is great. Why are white people racists, and no other race?
Proud to be White
Michael Richards makes his point...............
Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TV's Seinfeld does make a good point.
This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points....
Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... and that's OK..
But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink..You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day..
You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP. You have BET.... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships.... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US . Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud.... But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
There is nothing improper about this. We have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!
BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!
It's not a crime YET... but getting very close!

Psychiatry and Due Process Rights
Taking a person's freedom requires Due Process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Psychiatry bypasses those rights under laws passed by legislators who are paid by the psychiatric industry, the drug corporations and other interests of controlling and reducing freedom. The laws which deny Due Process rights violate those rights. Allowing the laws to remain makes acceptable a double legal standard for taking freedom. One for persons with disabilities and one for persons without disabilities. It is no different from the double standard based on race, religion, poverty. Here is one example of abuses of the Constitution and denial of Rights guaranteed by it to one man in the name of psychiatry.

Bulletin Posted by Jeff Makana
Does the Secret Service jail dissenters in mental hospitals?
"International peace movement have said, “if you see injustice and say nothing, you have taken the side of the oppressor.”
"May we learn the lessons of history before it's too late. If we wait, we may at some time in the future have to admit that we were wrong when we thought we had been free." ~Dr. Kohls, is a retired physician from the Duluth, MN area who writes about peace, justice, mental health and religion.
Back on June 21 of 2004 Secret Service agent Ray LeBeau asked the Phoenix police to arrest Kevin Walsh and take him to a mental institution. Secret Service agent Ray LeBeau said more or less that Kevin was crazy and needed mental help. This can be confirmed by reading the police reports on pages 5 thru 7. The Phoenix police arrested Kevin at an apartment complex in Tempe, then describe how they attacked kevin and took his gun away from him, and later took Kevin to the Maricopa County psych ward as requested by Secrect Service agent Ray LeBeau.
Bryon Wells in a Mesa or East Valley Tribune article on Tueday June 29 also wrote that the Secret Service had arrested Kevin Walsh and jailed him in a Mesa mental institution.
Also in both the phoenix police reports, and Bryon Wells' article in the Tribune it the Secret Service (Ray LeBeau) also said that Kevin Walsh made a threat on the life of the president of the United States. Kevin denied making any threats about the president in the Tribune article. It has been 9 months since Kevin was locked up by the Secret Service but they have not charged him with any federal crimes. My question is that if the secret service had the "probable cause" to arrest Kevin for threatening the president how come they did not arrest him and charge him for that crime? Myself, I don't think they ever had the probable cause needed to arrest Kevin.
About monday June 7 secret service agent Ray LeBeau called Kevin Walsh's home and asked him to contact him at (60.... According to a message Kevin posted on the ASH sig Kevin called the number and left a message to Agent Ray Lebeau telling him that he didn't want to speak to him and asking Ray LeBeau not to bother Kevin's family any more. The Phoenix police report also says that Agent Ray LeBeau wanted to talk to Kevin but that Kevin refused to contact him. My big question on this is how did the Secret Service have any evidence that Kevin was crazy if the Secret Service never spoke to Kevin Walsh?
According to Kevin Walsh after he was in the mental hospital for about 3 to 4 months the Secret Service did subpoena his mental health records. I suspect that was a fishing trip to see if Kevin's doctors got Kevin to admit threatining the president. I don't think they got any evidence because it has been 9 months since Kevin's initial arrest and Kevin has not been charged with any federal crimes.
Why would the Secret Service jail political disenters in mental instutitions? Probably because it is a damn easy way to lock someone up forever without convicting him of a crime.
Under ARS 36-520 anyone can request that a person be declared insane and locked up.
36-520. Application for evaluation; definition A. Any responsible individual may apply for a court-ordered evaluation of a person who is alleged to be, as a result of a mental disorder, a danger to self or to others, persistently or acutely disabled, or gravely disabled and who is unwilling or unable to undergo a voluntary evaluation
Once you have asked the person to be locked up, ARS 36-525 allows the police to jail him without any evidence execpt for the fact that someone said he was insane.
And at the person's court hearing if you can get one judge (that's one judge, not a jury of 12 people) to agree that the person is insane the judge can jail the person for three months to a year without all the hassles of having a jury trial or convincing anyone other than the judge that the person is insane. the judge can jail the person for 90 days if he thinks the person is a danger to himself, 180 days if a danger to others, 365 days if gravely disabled. That sure sounds a lot easier than digging up some non-existent evidence that Kevin threatened the president.
The Secret Service never said in the police reports exactly what they claimed Kevin threatened to do to the president of the United States, nor did the say who told them that Kevin threatened to kill the president of the United States.
According to Kevin, he never threatened the president. Kevin said a Republican phone solicitor called his family and asked them to support and vote for to keep President Bush in office for four more years. Kevin did say that he told the phone solicitor that he "wished the president were dead", something that is probably stupid to say but perfectly legal. The phone solicitor was also at the hearing where Kevin was declared insane, but Kevin's lawyer prevented the phone solicitor from testifying because he said it would be heresay evidence.
[My lawyer at the time was Vince Triano. Ms. Martin had not yet taken over my case. --Kevin Walsh]
How did the Secret Service come to the conclusion that Kevin Walsh is crazy and needs mental health care? I dont know. That wasn't stated in any of the articles? The Secret Service never gave any info on why they made the claim. Kevin has not given me any reasons on why the Secret Service would say he is crazy.
What type of crazy has the court classified Kevin as?
Probably schizophrenia, because the drugs they are forcing Kevin to take are commonly used to treat schizophrenia.
[The two psychiatrists who testified at my hearing both claimed I had the "psychotic disorder, not otherwise specified," which is to say they thought I was mentally ill but could not figure out what illness I supposedly had. When risperidone was ordered for me, I asked if I was considered schizophrenic, but I was told I was not. Eventually I was told I had been diagnosed as having the delusional disorder. --Kevin Walsh]
What is schizophrenia? It is a broad cover-all illness. It can be any thing from being "paranoid" to the extreme of being a "manaic depressive" or "bi-polar disorder" which is the new politically correct term for it.
[I was always given to understand that schizophrenia and the bipolar disorder were two different illnesses. --Kevin Walsh]
Schizophrenia is also a "cover-all term" if they don't know what's wrong with you, they call you schizo. The doctors themselves will tell you they don't have a good understanding of schizophrenia but see this web page for more details.

"I never lie cause I don't fear anybody, you only lie when your afraid." -John Gotti
Taking a person's freedom requires Due Process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Psychiatry bypasses those rights under laws passed by legislators who are paid by the psychiatric industry, the drug corporations and other interests of controlling and reducing freedom. The laws which deny Due Process rights violate those rights. Allowing the laws to remain makes acceptable a double legal standard for taking freedom. One for persons with disabilities and one for persons without disabilities. It is no different from the double standard based on race, religion, poverty. Here is one example of abuses of the Constitution and denial of Rights guaranteed by it to one man in the name of psychiatry.

Bulletin Posted by Jeff Makana
Does the Secret Service jail dissenters in mental hospitals?
"International peace movement have said, “if you see injustice and say nothing, you have taken the side of the oppressor.”
"May we learn the lessons of history before it's too late. If we wait, we may at some time in the future have to admit that we were wrong when we thought we had been free." ~Dr. Kohls, is a retired physician from the Duluth, MN area who writes about peace, justice, mental health and religion.
Back on June 21 of 2004 Secret Service agent Ray LeBeau asked the Phoenix police to arrest Kevin Walsh and take him to a mental institution. Secret Service agent Ray LeBeau said more or less that Kevin was crazy and needed mental help. This can be confirmed by reading the police reports on pages 5 thru 7. The Phoenix police arrested Kevin at an apartment complex in Tempe, then describe how they attacked kevin and took his gun away from him, and later took Kevin to the Maricopa County psych ward as requested by Secrect Service agent Ray LeBeau.
Bryon Wells in a Mesa or East Valley Tribune article on Tueday June 29 also wrote that the Secret Service had arrested Kevin Walsh and jailed him in a Mesa mental institution.
Also in both the phoenix police reports, and Bryon Wells' article in the Tribune it the Secret Service (Ray LeBeau) also said that Kevin Walsh made a threat on the life of the president of the United States.

Stigma is No Barrier to Treatment
After many years of PR flacks promoting the idea of stigma, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) promotes the idea that stigma prevents people from seeking treatment. Contrary to that paradigm are state and US laws (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Rehabilitation Act of 1973), which address discrimination, which denies to persons PERCEIVED as mentally ill (i.e., having a disability) from enjoying the same rights and privileges as "normal" persons. NAMI does not address this perspective at all. They remain focused on promoting drug treatment because they receive major funding from drug corporations. See e.g.,

If a person wants psychiatric treatment there are no barriers other than internal ones. But if a person with a disability wants government services e.g., protection from crime police often deny them basic rights. NAMI ignores those abuses as does this essay.

The Costume Party
A couple was invited to a swanky costume party. The Mrs. got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone.
He being a devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time being spoiled by not going.
So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain and, as it was still early, decided to go the party.
Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.
She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice woman he could, and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.
His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new babe that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished ,naturally, since he was her husband.
Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed.
So off they went to one of the cars and had a quickie.
Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in, and she asked what kind of a time he had. He said: "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there."
- "Did you dance much ?"
- "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening. But you're not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to...."

Courage, People Skills and the Equalizer
Did she get her courage and learn skepticism about a**h*** psychiatrists from waiting tables? People skills are superior to book learning. Some would have asked for pills to calm everyone. Where are those grief counselors when you need them? The equalizer came in handy this time.

Unequal Treatment for Psychiatrists?
"How could the Army allow an obviously incompetent and dysfunctional psychiatrist to treat our troubled soldiers returning from war? An Islamist wacko is counseled for arguing with veterans who've been assigned to his care? And he's not removed from duty? What planet does the Army live on?"
"A disgruntled Muslim soldier murdered his officers way back in 2003, in Kuwait, on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Recently? An American mullah shoots it out with the feds in Detroit. A Muslim fanatic attacks an Arkansas recruiting station. A Muslim media owner, after playing the peace card, beheads his wife. A Muslim father runs over his daughter because she's becoming too Westernized.
Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we're assured that 'Islam's a religion of peace.'"

Feds Arrest Boston Attorneys
Feds arrested "Arthur Cutillo, 33, an attorney at white-shoe law firm Ropes & Gray who is accused of providing information about companies such as 3Com and Alliance Data Systems."
"According to a complaint filed by the SEC, Goffer, 32, gave one of his tipees a disposable phone so they could share information about Bain Capital's impending acquisition of 3Com. After the deal was announced, he pulled out the SIM card, bit it, broke the phone in half and disposed of the two pieces separately."
"Among the firms that allegedly had their deals leaked through Cutillo were private equity bigwigs Silver Lake, Bain Capital and TPG Capital."

"Ropes hires more Harvard graduates than any other Boston firm, according to Mark Weber, the school's assistant dean for career services, who said Ropes has a 'great pipeline coming from Harvard' and noted there is a 'Ropes Gray Room' on campus.
Of last year's graduating class of about 550, 17 of the 43 graduates hired by Boston firms went to Ropes & Gray, an 'extraordinary' rate, Weber said."

Courage vs Deranged Psychiatrist
Munley is courageous for another unstated reason. How many women or men dare to question what deranged psychiatrists do? With their superior wisdom it must have been necessary to shoot 51 unarmed military personnel. Psychiatrists have the highest suicide rate among professionals, greater than journalists. How many humans can stand all of the harms these enraged pretenders do in the name of good? Maybe the Army psychiatrist took some of his own medicine and saw how great he was.

Obama Cautions Against Quick Reaction to Ft. Hood Shooting
When his multi millionaire tenured Harvard professor was arrested in the most famous disorderly conduct arrest in the history of the world, Obama was quick to judge saying the police acted stupidly. Here a woman -- A WOMAN -- police officer shot an Army psychiatrist and he says the rest of us should be calm. Would that be because the psychiatrist was deranged? Or that the psychiatrist was a Muslim? Or that the psychiatrist opposed the War in Iraq? What pray tell is the reason not to react as the president did?

Because of the massive, harmful, increase in the psychiatric drugging of America's children & youth, who are inherently forced, PsychRights has made addressing the problem a priority.
As a result of working on the PsychRights v. Alaska case (see, below), we realized at least a majority of psychiatric drugs prescribed to children and youth submitted to Medicaid are fraudulent. This is a technical analysis of the Medicaid Statutes alerted to by one of Ed Silverman's Pharmalot blogs and tracking down some 2007 correspondence between the Utah Attorney General's Office and Medicaid.
More specifically, it is fraud if reimbursement from Medicaid is sought for prescriptions of psychiatric drugs given to a child or youth that is not for "medically accepted indication." "Medically accepted indication" is defined as an indication approved by the FDA or supported by a citation in at least one of three specific compendia, the (i) American Hospital Formulary Service Drug Information; (ii) United States Pharmacopeia-Drug Information (or its successor publications); or (iii) the DRUGDEX Information System (Compendia).
PsychRights has developed a Model Complaint (contact PsychRights (address below) or this blog (address above) for a copy) set up for a former foster youth to sue the doctor(s) prescribing the offending drugs, their employer and the pharmacy(ies) submitting the fraudulent claims on behalf of the federal government to collect for this fraud and share in the recovery, if any. However,it can easily be adapted for anyone with "non-public" information (ie., specific offending prescriptions).
PsychRights is optimistic this approach can have a major impact. There have been billion dollar drug company payments to the government for illegally promoting such prescriptions, but that hasn't really touched the harmful practice because (1) it is just a cost of doing business to the drug companies, (2) the doctors have been indoctrinated to prescribe these drugs, and (3) Medicaid continues to pay for the prescriptions even though they have been prohibited by Congress.
We think that once the doctors realize they are subject to financially ruinous Medicaid Fraud judgments against them, the practice will stop or be substantially reduced. There are a lot of technical issues with bringing these lawsuits and we have information about it at http://psychrights.org/Education/ModelQuiTam/ModelQuiTam.htm.
PsychRights made presentations about this to the national conferences of the National Association of Rights Protection and Advocacy (NARPA) and the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP) in order to find people who were potentially interested and willing to pursue such cases. This was successful and we have at least a few such cases cooking. We are interested in at least a few more being pursued, so, if you are interested in pursuing such a Medicaid Fraud case about psych drugs given to children and youth and want our help you are invited to contact us.

Lilly v. Gottstein (Zyprexa Papers)
In December of 2006 Jim Gottstein subpoenaed documents that had been kept secret in the litigation over Zyprexa causing diabetes and other metabolic problems and released them to various people, including New York Times reporter Alex Berenson when Lilly failed to object in time. This resulted in a number of front page New York Times articles and reportedly caused the federal investigation into Lilly's illegal off-label promotion of Zyprexa to "gain momentum," which ultimately led to Lilly pleading guilty and paying $1.4 Billion in civil and criminal penalties earlier this year. Even though Lilly screwed up by letting Gottstein get the documents, it spent millions of dollars in attorney's fees to go to the federal court in Brooklyn and get the judge to find he had "conspired" to "steal" them.
This set Gottstein up for Lilly to threaten civil and criminal contempt sanctions and to go after his license to practice law. However, because Gottstein believes he did nothing improper, he appealed this ruling and after numerous delays, briefing is just about complete. He wouldn't expect a ruling until late next year at the earliest. His legal fees in defending against Lilly's legal onslaught have so far been just under $300,000, including estimated unbilled fees, of which he still owes over $141,000. Of the $177,000 paid to date, some $42,000 has been paid through generous donations to the legal defense fund the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP) set up.

Bigley v. Alaska Psychiatric Institute
208 P.3d 168 (Alaska 2009)
FYI, Mr. Bigley is the person for whom Gottstein subpoenaed the Zyprexa Papers in late 2006, and whose representation the federal court in Brooklyn declared was a pretense. PsychRights has represented Mr. Bigley in a number of cases, both at the Superior Court level and in front of the Alaska Supreme Court, some of which ended up being public and some of which have not.
In this case, which is public, PsychRights challenged a number of aspects of Alaska's forced drugging assembly-line regime. In the trial court we were denied access to Mr. Bigley's medical records until after the forced drugging hearing had started, which the Alaska Supreme Court ruled a violation of Mr. Bigley's Due Process rights. We also had very short notice, which we also claimed denied Mr. Bigley's Due Process rights, but while the Alaska Supreme Court said there could be situations in which the amount of time given to prepare would be a violation of Due Process, because we had mounted a serious challenge in spite of the short notice, Mr. Bigley had not been prejudiced by the short notice.
We also challenged the sufficiency of the forced drugging petition on Due Process grounds. Under the Myers case, which we won in 2006, the Alaska Supreme Court held that Due Process prohibits the state from giving psych drugs to someone against their wishes, unless, in addition to finding the person incompetent to decide to decline them, the state proves the drugging is in the person's best interests and there are no less restrictive alternatives. The Alaska Supreme Court then ruled the trial court had to consider certain specific factors, to wit: the patient’s symptoms and diagnosis; the medication to be used; the method of administration; the likely dosage; possible side effects, risks and expected benefits; and the risks and benefits of alternative treatments and nontreatment. Our challenge was that the petition did not include any information on these factors and therefore Mr. Bigley's Due Process rights to notice of what he is being charged with and a reasonable opportunity to respond were violated. The Alaska Supreme Court agreed.
Our other major issue was to flesh out what it means for the Alaska Supreme Court to have said in Myers that the state can't drug someone against their will "if there is a less intrusive alternative available." In particular what does "available" mean? We argued that it didn't mean the state could just choose not to fund it and therefore it was not available. We also argued the state was required to provide the less intrusive alternative that we presented to the trial court. The Alaska Supreme Court didn't order the state to provide the less intrusive alternative, but said that if such an alternative was "feasible" (accepting the trial court's finding that it was not in this case), the state's only choices were to provide the less intrusive alternative or let the patient go.
The ruling that a less intrusive alternative is "available" if it is "feasible" is hugely important. It is somewhat disappointing that the court didn't order the state to provide it, but this is an area of the law we might get the Alaska Supreme Court to take another look at because it doesn't make sense in a certain regard. This is because the issue only comes up when a patient has been found by the court to be so dangerous to self or others that the court has found safety requires the person to be locked up. Saying that the state can then just let the person go instead of providing a feasible less intrusive alternative is not logical and inherently invalidates the dangerousness finding. The reality is, as we know, the courts rule people are a danger to themselves or others all the time when they are not in order to lock them up, but it seems a reasonable prospect that the Alaska Supreme Court will not approve of this if the issue is presented to it crisply enough.
PsychRights v. Alaska
Alaska Supreme Court Case No. S-13558
In this case, PsychRights filed a lawsuit against the state of Alaska and responsible officials (State) seeking declaratory and injunctive relief that Alaskan children and youth have the right not to be administered psychotropic drugs unless and until:
(i) evidence-based psychosocial interventions have been exhausted,
(ii) rationally anticipated benefits of psychotropic drug treatment outweigh the risks,
(iii) the person or entity authorizing administration of the drug(s) is fully informed, and
(iv) close monitoring of, and appropriate means of responding to, treatment emergent effects are in place, and that all children and youth currently receiving such drugs be evaluated and brought into compliance with the above.
The State responded that they didn't have any control over or responsibility for the psychiatric drugging children in their custody or any responsibility under Medicaid, and moved to dismiss the lawsuit (throw it out of court) on the grounds that PsychRights doesn't have standing (the right to bring the suit) because it wasn't harmed by the State's actions.
The judge went along with the State and dismissed the case. We think the judge is wrong and have filed an appeal. It probably won't be decided until some time in 2011.
Potential Not "Medically Necessary" Medicaid Fraud Case
One of the things that some people have criticized PsychRights for is its failure to frontally attack the current medical model dominating psychiatry, i.e., the notion that psychiatric symptoms are manifestations of a defective brain, such as a chemical imbalances or genes, which has led to drugs as the universal response. When Gottstein presented the "medically accepted indication" basis for Medicaid Fraud cases at ICSPP, Dr. Fred Baughman, the point that there is no basis for medical treatment of psychiatric treatments. Dr. Baughman, is the neurologist with a conscience who has been indefatigable in pointing this out. In thinking about it, I came to realize that just as prescriptions that are not for "medically accepted indications" constitute Medicaid Fraud, so do prescriptions that are not "medically necessary."
Dr. Baughman is very interested in pursuing such a case and we are working on it. Such a case should require the psychiatrist who is sued to go up against Dr. Baughman and probably some of our other experts, in front of a jury, to justify the prescriptions with scientific evidence as being "medically necessary." It is a totally intriguing possibility, I think it presents a way to confront prevailing psychiatric practice's basic premise, and I am grateful to Dr. Baughman for his steadfast advocacy respecting this most basic flaw in the current practice of psychiatry.
Electroshock
Fighting forced electroshock has always been on PsychRights' agenda and the current FDA Reclassification Docket (discussed next) is an opportunity that everyone should seize to try and keep the FDA from reclassifying electroshock machines as safe. In connection with this everyone should read Linda Andre's terrific new book, Doctors of Deception: What They Don't Want You to Know About Shock Treatment. If you want to read it and can't afford a copy, let us know and we might be able to get you one. Advocating against electroshock has taken a back seat to the drugging, but it is also very important and we should all be doing what we can to fight it. PsychRights expects to be working more closely with Ms. Andre and the Center for Truth in Psychiatry on Electroshock to try and get some traction on this issue. For now, everyone should write to the FDA about its current reclassification docket.
FDA Reclassification Docket
The Food and Drug Administration is in charge of regulating medical devices just as it does drugs, including the machines used to give Electroshock. It has allowed these machines to be used on millions of patients over the past generation without requiring any evidence whatsoever that shock treatment is safe or effective! This is so even though shock machines are Class III---high risk---devices, which by law are supposed to be investigated by clinical trials as thoroughly as new drugs and devices just coming onto the market.
The FDA is now supposed to require Electroshock machines to undergo the rigorous PreMarket Approval process (PMA) that is required of new devices, including clinical safety trials, but there is great risk the FDA will downclassify it to the low-risk Class II, without scientific evidence of its safety. The FDA has opened up a new docket for public comment on this and it is important for as many people as possible to write in with their opposition. Comments will be accepted up through January 2010.
You can make comments in writing to Food and Drug Administration, Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305), 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

that you can use if you want.
Potential Electroshock Medicaid Fraud Case
PsychRights work on Medicaid Fraud regarding the psychiatric drugging of children has also made us realize that a similar approach might be mounted against electroshock submitted to Medicaid as not being medically necessary. PsychRights is just in the preliminary stages of potentially looking at such a lawsuit. This one might be directed at fraudulent researchers. Again, Linda Andre's terrific new book, Doctors of Deception: What They Don't Want You to Know About Shock Treatment is a must read for anyone interested in this topic.
National Organizing
PsychRights has made very good progress in Alaska, winning four Alaska Supreme Court cases since starting in 2003, and while PsychRights Medicaid Fraud Initiative Against Psychiatric Drugging of Children & Youth is a national effort, we have not otherwise gotten much traction in other states. This is because I am in Alaska and can take cases here. In order to do the same sort of thing in other states we need to develop organizational capacity in such states. The way we think it makes sense to organize in other states is to have what we call a "State Coordinator," which can be a person or organization. The key things that need to be done are
* Understand both the law for that state and what is actually happening, in order to determine the legal challenge(s) to pursue.
* Identify cases to pursue such challenges.
* Recruit attorneys and expert witnesses.
PsychRights is insufficiently funded to provide financial support of any significance towards this effort.
It seems probable that we need to recruit pro bono (volunteer) attorneys in most cases and we see the key to that is having a "package" that makes such representation attractive, including a legal analysis. In addition to the analysis of the Alaska situation in Involuntary Commitment and Forced Psychiatric Drugging in the Trial Courts: Rights Violations as a Matter of Course, 25 Alaska L. Rev. 51 (2008), we have issued legal analyses in three states, New York, Massachusetts and Virginia, which gives some idea of what we mean.
New York -- Memorandum (Preliminary): Forced Psychiatric Drugging in the Community --Pro Bono Opportunity of Great Significance, August 18, 2008
Massachusetts -- Potential Strategies, October 6, 2007, and Opposing Forced Drugging ("Rogers Orders") in Massachusetts, February 1, 2004. If anyone is interested in being a State Coordinator, please contact us. We also could very much use a volunteer coordinator because I tend to be overwhelmed with what I am doing and not able to spend as much time on this type of organizing as is needed.
Virginia -- Memorandum re: Mental Health Commission Proposals, dated August 5, 2007.

Ft. Hood Shooting About Psychiatry Not Religion
This shooting was not about religion. It was one more deranged suicidal psychiatrist. They have the highest suicide rate among professionals. Because of the perfect image created by high paid K Street lobbyists few in the population dare to question what they say or do. They predict the future in courts with a straight face and are defended on these blogs with a vehemence usually only seen among Obama kool-aid drinkers. Psychiatrists do more harm in the name of good than a thousand gunmen. Intolerant conformist journalists (many of whom take psychiatrist drugs) refuse to question these charlatans. Working with police these control freaks will take all freedoms if you let them.

Owens broke 4 promises in first 24 hours in office
The One Campaign For Which Pelosi Took Credit
http://www.gouverneurtimes.com/index...ews&Itemid=175
GOUVERNEUR, NY - Congressman-elect Bill Owens was sworn in at noon today.
Owens indicated in a press release that he was now in favor of the bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during his campaign.
According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option.
Mr. Owens also indicated during his campaign that he was firmly opposed to cutting Medicare benefits, taxing health care benefits, and increased taxes on the middle class in any way as you can see clearly in the screenshot below, taken directly from Mr. Owens' campaign website.
The House Health reform bill contains sections that cut Medicare benefits, tax existing health care benefits, and increases taxes on the middle class, yet Mr. Owens stated today that he will now vote in favor of those things contrary to what he had promised the voters of NY's 23rd Congressional District that he would vote against.
Mr. Owens indicated in his press release today that "This legislation will reform the insurance industry and provide increased access to affordable healthcare without taxing healthcare benefits, cutting Medicare benefits or raising taxes on the middle class, and that is exactly the direction we need to go."
When The Gouverneur Times attempted to contact Mr. Owens to clarify this information, we received no direct response to our phone or email inquiries. Both FactCheck.org and the Congressional Budget Office agree that HR 3962 contains potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in planned cuts to Medicare, yet Mr. Owens indicates that he supports this legislation and says that it does not cut Medicare benefits. Either Mr. Owens has been snowed or the public is about to be.
HR 3962 also includes a range of various taxes on middle-class families as well as language to repeal tax relief already in place. Has Congressman Owens blindly followed Ms. Pelosi's rhetoric in believing that the end to a tax cut is not the same thing as an increase in taxes or is he hedging his bet with very carefully chosen words?
HR 3962 now also contains language that allows illegal immigrants to be covered under the legislation. When The Gouverneur Times attempted to contact Mr. Owens for clarification of this language, we received no response other than the press release heretofore mentioned. Specifically, we asked if illegal immigrants would be forced to purchase healthcare insurance as citizens will be and whether or not they would be forced to do so at standard rates or if they would qualify for the public option subsidy.
The Associated Press said this morning that: "House leaders said that, in keeping with the Hispanic Caucus' demands, there was not likely to be any prohibition added to the House bill against illegal immigrants shopping in the exchange."
In a speech made to Congress a short time ago, President Obama had stated that the bill would not contain support for illegal immigrants - a statement for which he was called a "liar" by Rep. Joe Wilson. Rep. Wilson was severely chastised for his comment at the time though it would now seem to be true.
The mixed-up mess that was the 23rd Congressional District Special Election was a close race between Democrat Bill Owens and Conservative Doug Hoffman. Many feel that it was unlikely Mr. Owens would have won those crucial few thousand votes if the voting public was aware of his intent with regard to the Health Care bill. The majority of residents in this district do not support the Health Reform bill as it is now written and many feel like they've become victims of a fraud perpetrated by their chosen candidate.
Breaking campaign promises is not unusual for politicians... it's a cliche. This is almost certainly a record though. Mr. Owens broke no less than 4 promises in his first 24 hours in office.

Priorities In Place
It is a high priority of police and journalists to focus on grabbing behinds on the MBTA while no one watches lawyers take their clients' money; courts give favors to their friends; police and psychiatrists take everyone's freedom; politicians give away taxpayer funds to their friends and everybody's happy!

Geraldine Blamed The Devil
Blaming double bunks makes as much sense as blaming mental illness. In military boot camps recruits sleep in double bunks. They do not attack drill sergeants or each other. Flip Wilson blamed the devil. Perhaps that is who caused the trouble at the prison.

Why Stop at One Police Organization?
Just suspend the Constitution, arrest everyone, and make them prove they are innocent. Then only police and psychiatrists will be in total control. All in favor say "Aye." Those opposed say "Nay." The Ayes have it. Everyone report to your nearest police station to surrender, lawyers and politicians first.

Police Sgt. Hero Shoots Deranged Psychiatrist
Sgt. Munley is a National Patriotic Hero for shooting a deranged enraged out-of-control psychiatrist. She saved many innocent lives from this dangerous psychiatrist. The shooting had nothing to do with his religion. He is only one of many suicidal violent psychiatrists who have the highest suicide rate of all professionals. This criminal psychiatrist is one more part of the Bush-Cheney Trust left as Obama's inheritance.

Dems Lose Mayoral Race in New York City. Where was Obama?
Incumbent Mayor Mike Bloomberg a Democrat turned Republican Turned Independent, won by only five points after enormously outspending his Democratic opponenet. Party officials wonder why Obama did not support the Democratic candidate who might have won with more party support.

Man convicted or murder being held in a secure psychiatric facility allegedly murders two men convicted of murder at the same facility.
After many years of conflating psychiatry and crime the criminals being held in psychiatric facilities continue their criminal ways. Drug companies persuaded legislatures that psychiatry is the solution to campaign funding. The politicians respond with more laws to allow increased use of psychiatry to address crime. Now the psychiatry is exposed as meaningless. Why spend extra taxpayer funds to get the same results as when crime was treated as crime for less money. Nazi party officials medicalized social problems in Germany as the US is doing now. There is no appeal from a medical diagnosis.
