Psychiatry for population control

[acptulsa]

In 1971, the Behavior Research Institute was founded by Matthew Israel in Providence, Rhode Island and in 1976 he opened new centres in Massachusetts and California...

In 1994, the Institute changed its name to the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center in honour of the judge who helped to keep the torture program running.

Better they should have named their kennel after Pavlov.

Or maybe Aldous Huxley, who in Brave New World wrote about neo-Pavlovian conditioning?

And who was involved in the MKULTRA that serves as a blueprint for modern-day psychiatry...

Thomas Szasz is one of those notorious psychiatrists that has actually talked about the horrors of modern-day psychiatry...
In the following clip Szasz explains that (most of) so-called "mental disorders" aren't diseases at all (only 4 minutes).

It seems that these days you can be declared insane for just about anything, whether you're happy, sad, energetic, tired, extrovert, everything could be labelled a "mental disorder". But in the 2020s, when you "come out" to claim that you're trapped in the body of the wrong gender, you should be praised for your courage...
All in all this shows that psychiatric diagnoses have more to do with politrics than health care.


In the (not so) good old days, African American slaves were diagnosed with Drapetomania (drapetes, runaway slave, and mania, meaning crazy) if they had the “uncontrollable urge” to run away from their “masters”. The “treatment” was “whipping the devil out of them”.
Other slaves were declared to suffer from Dyasethesia Aethiopis (laziness and impaired sensation) if they didn't work hard enough.

In March of this year, the almighty DSM panel voted the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders into existence to make it even easier to torture psychiatric victims. Pyschiatrists use the DSM to label "disorders" whenever requested, resulting in prescribing drugs that do more harm than good.
In this update of the DSM, new additions to the "disorders" include excessive grief and racism. There are certainly examples when excessive grieving can be a mental disease, but how to decide when this is the case when there is no objective "chemical imbalance"?

This update of the DSM, also includes expanded guidelines for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). No doubt this will result in even more kids getting drugged senseless with amphetamine-like narcotics.
In 1994, the DSM-IV introduced the non-existent mental disorder ADHD, which has made children acting like.. children a mental disorder. In 2014, The rate of ADHD in the US had already tripled to a ridiculous 11% (with no end in sight!).

Psychiatric disorders are also used to medically kidnap children. After a school teacher or social worker recommends a psychiatric evaluation, and the parents disagree to have their child drugged senseless... the parents are then charged with "neglect" and their children are stolen taken to be put in the "care" of the State.
The DSM diagnoses are also used for medical kidnapping of adults, if they disagree to the label given to them by (insane) psychiatrists. In 2018, about 1.3 million adults were forcibly treated for mental disorders that had over $50 billion of their assets "confined" after a judge declared them “mentally incompetent” (guilty without proof?): https://healthimpactnews.com/2022/u...od-mental-disorders-to-be-treated-with-drugs/

In November 2021, Dr. Melvin Bruchet and his friend Dr. Daniel Nagase, filed criminal charges against government officials in British Columbia (Canada) over the lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and vaccine passports. The complaint included reference to a dramatic rise in stillbirth deaths at a Vancouver hospital that was probably caused by the COVID “vaccines”.

In December 2021, the Canadian authorities sent 3 RCMP squad cars and 6 RCMP officers to the elderly Dr. Melvin Bruchet (in his early 80s) and hauled him off in handcuffs for a “psych evaluation”. No surprise, the "respected" psychiatrists declared him insane so he could be locked up against his will and treated for being a horrible thoughtcriminal.

Dr. Nagase tried to get his friend out of the gulags. Nagase thought they had drugged Bruchet senseless as he was slurring his words, a common effect of anti-psychotic drugs.

They say that the MKULTRA program was stopped, but it is an open secret in that program (that has served as the blueprint for "modern" psychiatry) dissidents were publicly exposed as having “mental illnesses” and drugged (so they would act strange) to discredit them: https://rairfoundation.com/soviet-c...irths-explosion-in-vaccinated-moms-interview/

I don't know why, but I had my doubts about COVID denialist, lockdown sceptic, antivaxxer Andrew Kaufman, who denies that viruses exist that cause disease.
When I learned he is a psychiatrist that was almost enough to convince me that he's a "shill"...

Then I found the following interview with Kaufman by Thomas Cowan, and thought maybe he is "for real" after all.
Kaufman gives some honest criticism of psychiatry, which is arguably more his expertise than infectious diseases.


See the following video and 2 quotes of things he said:

Well I started just questioning it and didn’t wanna participate and then at some point I refused to do it. And I’ve gone through that kind of evolution where many times over as I found injustices with psychiatric medications. You know at first I was forced to prescribe them as a trainee because that was the standard of care. And then all my subsequent clinical work, that was the main function of a psychiatrist. But as I uncovered that, first, I saw the medicines were not helpful. And then I started realizing that they were harmful. And this was when I scrutinized the research literature and then compared it with my own experiences I started seeing that there was consistency here and those respects but that’s not what the main authorities of medicine would be saying about it but that’s what was in the actual research finding.
(...)

I wanna look at objective outcome measures. So in other words, like something tangible that’s improved in a person’s life. Like if they’re depressed and they can’ function, they can’t shop or grocery so take care of their kids or go to work, well I wanna see them resume doing those things. If they have a horrible conflict in their important relationships in their life, I wanna see that relationship improved. Right? All of those aspects and that’s not what I’m seeing at all. Surely with antidepressants I never saw that. I don’t want to give the impression that no psychiatric drugs ever work in any person… There are some very limited examples but they’re rare and they’re probably overused and overgeneralized. But with antidepressants no, I’ve never seen one person have a true benefit from an antidepressant.

One of the sub-topics in this thread is that psychiatry is designed for population control, including drugging talented poor children senseless, to prove that the lower classes are inferior (that's eugenics). Of course they especially want to neutralise those anti-authoritarian children that could grow up to be rebels and upset the pyramid of control.

So in 1980, Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) was added to the DSM-III disorders. When children (or young adults) display 4 out of the following 8 defiance of authorities symptoms "often" in the last 6 months, they can be sentenced to ODD: loses temper; touchy or easily annoyed; angry and resentful; argues with authority figures; actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules; deliberately annoys others; blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior; spitefulness or vindictiveness.

Many ODD victims get poisoned with psychiatric drugs including antipsychotics with severe adverse effects. These of course have no positive effects (unless you count walking around as a zombie as an improvement), so the adverse effects are THE effects.
Personally I think that our Brave new world would be a better place if more people would stand up to authorities that do us harm...

In the early 1980s, the ODD diagnosis was criticised as medicalisation of normal behaviour of children, but these days drugging rebellious kids "of low socioeconomic status" is considered "normal" by insane psychiatrists.
Other invented similar labels have been added to the DSM that can be used to sentence anti-authoritarian kids to non-existent mental disorders and drug them senseless, like: Conduct disorder (CD) and (the well-known) Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Apparently those terrible anti-vaxxers cause heart attacks of these brave COVID vaxxed, by "fear mongering and misinformation" that causes stress and anxiety, "if subjects are panicked, concerned, stressed or scared of the vaccination, their arteries will constrict and become smaller in and around the time of receiving the vaccine".

I'm almost sure that these vaxxed don't get stressed out by the government propaganda - fear, panic, hysteria: https://off-guardian.org/2022/11/24...nvaxxed-because-they-cause-anxiety-seriously/


I can't say that I'm surprised about this...
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (Canada) suggests drugging the unvaccinated into compliance.

To "manage anxieties" (for the immune destroying COVID vaccines), “Responsible use of prescription medications and/or referral to psychotherapy are available options”, because with these "anxieties", the doctors cannot "properly inform..." them about those untested vaccines (trust the "science")!

Drugging antivaxxers senseless will surely prove that they (we?) suffer from mental disorders, as this is the result of psychiatric drugs: https://archive.ph/fqlR6

With insane psychiatrists getting trained to diagnose behaviour as “mental disorders” it is obvious that the (main) reason for the rapid rise in “autism rates” all over the developed world – is an explosion of misdiagnoses (my wild guess is that this won’t be evaluated in RFK Jr’s autism cover-up investigation…).

In 1962, the first DSM manual for sentencing lower classes to mental disorders as an efficient way of eugenics was published. It contained about 60 mental disorders; the current DSM edition has more than 300!!!
Who could have guessed that this caused the number of “psychiatric patients” to rise?!?

In the early 1990s, Allen Frances spearheaded the DSM-4 task force that, in his own words, further “loosened the definition of autism”.
Frances has apologised and is “very sorry for helping to lower the diagnosis bar” as DSM-IV has:

contributed to the creation of diagnostic fads that resulted in the massive over-diagnosis of autistic disorders in children and adults.
Careful field testing suggested the new definition would just triple the rate. Instead it quickly multiplied almost 100 fold. More clinicians began labeling both normal diversity and a variety of other psychological problems as autistic.

Who could have guessed that this has caused the “autism rates” to rise?!?

In 2013, today’s DSM-5 was released that according to Frances:

The DSM-5 loosened the diagnosis of autism even more by introducing the concept of autistic spectrum, thus further obscuring the boundary between mental disorder and normal diversity.

.
Laurent Mottron added that the DSM-V, is full of:

vague and trivial definitions and ambiguous language that ensures more people fall into various, abnormal categories.
It associates autism, which now exists on a spectrum, with a reduction of social interest, which can result from an indefinite number of psychological and societal issues.

Who could have guessed that this caused “Autism Spectrum Disorder rates” to rise?!?

In the early 1980s, the autism rate was 5.5 per 100,000.
After the DSM-4 was published in 1994, in 1997 the “autism rate” shot up to 45 per 100,000.

By 2007, 1 in 150 children were diagnosed with autism.
In 2023, 2,778 per 100,000 children (1 in 36) are sentenced to “Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)”, a 500 times increase (!!!) since the early 1980s.

Frances commented:

Although people often benefit from an accurate diagnosis of autism, an inaccurate diagnosis can cause harmful stigma, hopelessness, reduced expectations, and misdirected treatment. Because the diagnosis of autism is so consequential and so frequently carelessly done, parents and adult patients should always get a second opinion whenever possible.

Doctor who helped broaden autism spectrum ‘very sorry’ for over-diagnosis

According to a Rutgers study published earlier this year, autism rates in the US have increased some 500% over the past 16 years. And “profound autism” cases — those who are likely to n…

A widely used autism test for adults in the UK - Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ10) - is completely 'unreliable':

Given that the tool lacks reliability, it is possible that it may not be doing the screening/flagging process as well as we’d like, with knock-on consequences for autism diagnosis and research.

Isn’t it odd that for ALL problems, the proposed solution involves government surveillance?!?

Antipsychotics disrupt the production of hormones in general (not just testosterone). This will also completely disrupt the normal development if adolescents (or even younger children) are poisoned with these psychiatric drugs. My wild guess is that other psychiatric drugs also disrupt hormone production. This of course guarantees mental health problems, which can then be used by the insane psychiatrists to justify their torturing practices (the worse the adverse effects are, the better they can justify the psychiatric treatment…).
So another example of psychiatric “medicines” causing the mental “disorders” they should cure. How these psychiatrists can distinguish between the original mental disorder and the same disorder caused by the drugs they poison their patients/victims with, is something I just cannot figure out.


The following study shows that antipsychotics block the normal production of hormones (in both males and females). Which results in “sexual dysfunction” and can cause “psychotic symptoms”.
"Sexual dysfunction is common in patients taking antipsychotics- more than twice as common as in healthy controls, and greater in patients taking antipsychotics than unmedicated schizophrenic patients and patients with affective disorders. The CATIE study has recently highlighted that sexual function is commonly impaired in patients taking atypical as well as typical antipsychotic treatment.
A number of factors may play a role in impairing sexual dysfunction in patients taking antipsychotic treatment, including ‘negative’ and co-morbid depressive symptoms, the anticholinergic and adrenergic effects of antipsychotics, and higher rates of smoking and physical illness. It has long been supposed, however, that prolactin elevation and low gonadal hormone levels are significant factors underlying the high rates of sexual dysfunction seen in patients treated with antipsychotics. Prolactin may impair sexual function through its actions on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis altering sex hormone release.
…

High rates of sexual dysfunction were found in patients, and their sexual function was impaired compared to healthy controls and indeed was similar to that seen in attendees at a sexual dysfunction clinic, indicating that clinically significant sexual dysfunction is common in patients taking antipsychotics. High rates of hyperprolactinemia and hypogonadism were found in males and females.
Ninety-two per cent of pre-menopausal women and 27.7% of men showed biochemical hypogonadism. Estradiol, and progesterone levels were found to be much lower than the normal reference range in pre-menopausal women and approached those of the post-menopausal women, indicating impaired ovulation and fertility. Of the pre-menopausal women, over half showed progesterone levels that were very low: below the lower limit of the progesterone range in the follicular phase; and over a third showed estradiol levels below the lower limit of the range in the follicular phase.
…

The high rates of hypogonadism are of particular concern given the association between low sex hormone levels and osteoporosis, infertility and cardiovascular disease. Low sex hormone levels have also been linked with exacerbation of psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia."

Apparently Risperdal/risperidone (that is known to cause the growth of female breasts in some men/boys) blocks testosterone even more than other antipsychotics.
"At initial evaluation the mean serum prolactin and inhibin B levels were markedly higher, whereas testosterone level was lower in patients treated with risperidone, than in those treated with olanzapine. In 5 out of 50 subjects from risperidone group (10%) and in 1 from olanzapine group (2.6%) testosterone levels were below the lower limit (<241 ng/ml), which reflected Leydig’s cell impairment. In one patient receiving risperidone and in three receiving olanzapine, inhibin B level was below 80 pg/ml, indicating Sertoli’s cell dysfunction. At the final evaluation the mean serum prolactin level was markedly higher in patients taking risperidone, whereas their FSH levels were lower than in patients receiving olanzapine.
…

Our study of endocrine action of two antipsychotics in male schizophrenic patients demonstrated prominent influences of drug type on pituitary and gonadal hormone level. Administration of risperidone caused higher PRL elevation than olanzapine. Treatment with this medication can be associated with disturbances in reproductive hormones (testosterone) and gonadotropins (FSH) levels. Treatment with both medications can affect gonadal functioning either through risperidone-induced PRL elevation."

.

Risperidone drug used in treatment patients with Schizophrenia was lowering the level of testosterone hormone. And also there was association between testosterone with blood glucose, uric acid, age and duration of disease.
…

The study found that most patients with Schizophrenia treated with risperidone were had signicantly low testosterone levels (53%) while the rest of them stayed within the normal range level (47%).

Not very surprising, the most popular psychiatric drugs - depression-causing SSRI “antidepressants” - also lower testosterone levels, besides effecting other hormones in the body.
All 6 SSRIs tested decreased testosterone levels and increased the ratio of estrogen to testosterone.

In both men and women, low testosterone causes “decreased mood”, so depression: https://www.healthline.com/health/depression/do-antidepressants-lower-testosterone

The following video is mostly an interesting first hand description of the adverse effects of antipsychotics (I’m surprised it hasn’t been deleted by Youtube… yet).

The main thing I don’t understand is that this “nurse” explains the torture of psychiatric patients, but doesn’t show any remorse about his active involvement in these crimes against humanity (instead blaming big pharma). Is that because he has no conscience or has he become about as “zombified” as the psychiatric victims on antipsychotics?!?

The title “Trump and the global rise of fascist anti-psychiatry” suggests defending present day psychiatry malpractice, but it is more a critique of the direction psychiatry is taking under Trump (and under former Brazilian president Bolsonaro). Of course the warnings of the future and past abuses of psychiatry somewhat ignore that these practices WERE already happening before Bolsonaro was selected president…
The most important aspect missing from this essay, is the influence technocracy will have over psychiatry (or health care in general), which will lead to: internet-connected “wearables”, phone apps and diagnoses by ‘AI’ computers.

It's also peculiar that Qatar’s state media warns that Trump’s and Kennedy’s psychiatry won’t respect LGBT youth’s rights (reportedly Qatar arrests trannies for "impersonating the opposite gender" and forces them into conversion "therapy" …).

See some excerpts:
"Trump’s new executive order uses psychiatry to dismantle social care, expand policing and imprisonment, and exploit public disillusionment. We have seen this before, and we know the consequences.
(…)

Trump and Kennedy have hijacked legitimate anger at a broken system to justify destroying public care infrastructure, including Medicaid, food and housing assistance, harm-reduction and overdose prevention programmes, and suicide-prevention hotlines for LGBTQ youth, while promoting wellness scams and expanding the police state. They focus on the “threat” supposedly posed by psychiatric medications and call to reopen the asylums that once confined approximately 560,000 people, or one in 295 US residents, in horrific conditions, until protests against their cruelty led to their closure beginning in the 1950s.

Trump invokes false claims about mental illness to demonise immigrants, whom he is now hunting via a mass arrest and incarceration campaign. Last month, he signed an executive order that allows police to arrest and forcibly institutionalise poor Americans who are unhoused, deemed mentally ill, or struggling with addiction, effectively incarcerating them for indefinite periods.

Trump’s order, which also defunds housing-first programmes and harm-reduction services, while criminalising homelessness and encampments, contains no provisions to protect people from abuse or from the political misuse of psychiatric labels and institutionalisation to target his opponents. This raises concerns about risks to LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable groups. It also threatens groups upon which the administration has shown a eugenicist fixation: transgender people, people with autism, and others with disabilities that RFK Jr and Trump have characterised as a threat or burden on society.

The order appears to grant the government the power to deem anyone mentally ill or abusing substances, and to confine them indefinitely in any designated treatment facility, without due process. In a context where there is already a profound shortage of psychiatric beds even for short-term treatment, there are no provisions for new funding or regulatory systems to ensure that facilities are therapeutic or humane, rather than violent, coercive warehouses like American asylums of decades past.
(…)

Given this, it is unclear what kind of “treatment”, other than confinement and cruelty, Trump and RFK Jr plan to deliver in their new asylums.
Trump and Kennedy’s lies about mental health, cuts to public care and vision for expanding the incarceration of immigrants, homeless people, and anyone they label as mentally ill, worsen mental health while creating more opportunities to profit from preventable suffering, disability and death. These tactics are not new, and their harmful consequences and political motivations are well established.
(…)

To oppose reactionary anti-psychiatry, mental health professionals and politicians cannot simply defend the status quo of over-medicalisation, profit-driven care and the pathologisation of poverty. Millions justifiably feel betrayed by current psychiatric norms that offer little more than labels and pills while ignoring the political causes of their suffering. If the left does not harness this anger towards constructive change, the right will continue to exploit it."

@Firestarter ,

I'll forgive you for getting me completely wrong in thinking that I would actually cast a vote for Trump, Kennedy, et al. Man, that was just totally messed up.

I just wanted you to know that even though you go mostly ignored and I seldom see a thumbs up or response to your posts, I do read them and want to give you kudos for all your diligent research.

I just listened to that pathetic House Judiciary Committee hearing "Oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation" with Director Kash Patel. I knew exactly what to expect, it got shot down, with Massie being the only republican to want to subpoena the CEO's of 4 major banks.

Anyway, aside from that, Patel made it crystal clear that Public-Private partnerships are coming to 'Merika and that federal law enforcement was going to work directly with the locals. Private companies will be reporting back to fed.gov and the various agencies. Of course, Trump already got the ball rolling on that with Intel, but Patel is now totally out in the open about it, something that both you and I knew was coming and constantly warning others about for a long, long time.

I haven't decided if I'm going to stick around this place, it's pretty much a lost cause. But then it is fun sometimes to share info and chat with others, so who knows. Anyway, keep up the good work is all I wanted to say

This is a great thread, and the perfect place to cross-post this comment on transsexuals and veterans.

All of this arguing over lies, damned lies and statistics is just a distraction from the truth of the matter. Both of these groups are being screwed up and screwed over by the psychiatric profession.

Government took psychiatry over and broke it. Try to get someone you know psychiatric help these days and see what you get. "I want this person to get help, but if you don't know what's going on you can't help. Let me tell you what's going on here that you'll never see in your office."

"Sorry, because of HIPAA and other laws I cannot discuss the inside of a patient's head with you."

"But this person is no one's patient right now."

"That doesn't matter. Only the insane person can make that decision."

Leave it to government to reserve unto insane people the sole authority to make decisions. Leave it to government to restrict information that is needed to accomplish the goal. That's not a recipe to improve mental health, it's a policy geared toward creating crises. Throw Big Pharma into the mix and it's no wonder people are cracking up left and right. Throw in the federal government closing all the inpatient hospitals forty years ago and tossing all the schizophrenics out in the street to breed with each other, and you need not wonder how we arrived at anarcho-tyranny in our streets.
