(NaturalNews) Not everyone has fallen for the grand hoax: 20 million kids worldwide diagnosed with mental disorders, necessitating psychiatric drugs for years or life. Some individuals are speaking out. Yet so many parents, kids and schools have fallen prey to one of the most insidious yet most profitable misinformation campaigns of modern society. Poster Comment: Drugging for dollars has become a growth industry. Realize that your children are regarded as little different than unruly cattle. From the point of view of our would be masters their only use is as drones and slaves. They certainly do not want any Einsteins or Beethovens to upset the placid cud chewing of their doped up menials. Geniuses and malcontents do not fit into the hive concept very well.
Kids who fidget, get distracted or bored easily, talk too much (or too little), defy rules, are not as obedient as some adults may like or have mood swings, are liable to be tagged with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder or other such ills. In short, what used to be known as typical child and adolescent behavior has been redefined as mental illness.
ADHD is the disorder most commonly assigned to kids (over five million in the U.S.). Statistical studies in the U.S. and other nations show boys are far more likely than girls to be branded with ADHD and prescribed stimulants.
A recent article entitled "Sedation nation: The cost of taking boisterous out of boys," reports five times as many Australian boys being medicated with Ritalin than girls. The author asks, "Are we in danger of seeing boyhood itself as a disorder?" She cites an example of a 10-year old very bright and sporty boy who got into a skirmish on a cramped school playground. No damage occurred, no blood, yet this led at once to a referral for psychiatric treatment.
This situation can be worse for African-American males. Umar R. Abdullah-Johnson, a psychologist and activist for the educational rights of black boys, has traveled to schools across the country. In a recent article headed "Psycho-Slavery," he writes, "It has become a travesty of epic proportions; black boys are being sent in record numbers to the psychiatrist for mind-altering medications that come with a plethora of side effects." He reports that in many classrooms, 50 percent of the black male students are being referred for medication. Some children are evaluated, diagnosed and prescribed in less than five minutes.
Abdulla-Johnson points out the hypocrisy of a society that has declared a War on Drugs yet is so busily drugging a generation of black boys on substances which often lead to illegal drugs later in their lives. "They claim to LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND," he writes, "but are totally content leaving our boys with side effects from these drugs years after they have graduated from school, if they ever graduate at all."
This system coerces youth into obedient conformity with a psychiatric standard of normality. Kids are also left with a message that they can't cope with school or life without drugs.
But let's look at history:
Thomas Edison, one of the world's most prolific inventors, was kicked out of school at an early age as his teacher lost patience with his persistent questions and wandering mind. Where would we be now if his creative spirit had been numbed by prescription drugs?
Albert Einstein, father of modern physics, was a quiet child who kept his distance from his peers. He resented the rote learning methods enforced in school and was labeled a foolish day dreamer. Imagine if he had been medicated into conformity.
William Churchill, the great statesman and orator, had an independent and rebellious nature as a youth and was often in trouble. Surely he would have been deemed ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) by today's psychiatric standards.
Frederick Douglass, one of the foremost leaders of the abolitionist movement (and a blood relative of Umar R. Abdullah-Johnson, quoted above) began defying the rules for blacks when he was a child. And the list goes on.
The massive propaganda asserting the validity of these disorders and efficacy of these medications is staggering. However a 731-page report from the Drug Effectiveness Review Project of Oregon State University in 2005 - analyzing 2,287 separate studies around the world - found inadequate evidence to show that drugs used to treat ADHD are safe in the long term or help school performance. (http://psychrights.org/articles/Tac...).html)
No medical tests are used for diagnoses. Yet most diagnosed youths are put onto highly toxic drugs which have been shown to cause insomnia, stunted growth, hallucinations, anxiety, heart attacks, psychosis, violence, suicide and sudden death.
Peter Breggin MD, a leader in psychiatric reform, stated in the Huffington Post, "Our society's particular form of child abuse is the psychiatric diagnosing and drugging of our children." And, "all psychoactive substances from alcohol and marijuana to psychiatric drugs reduce and compromise the function of brain and mind, and none improve it." Even toddlers are being assigned mental disorders and prescribed such drugs.
Many clinicians fear that prescribing stimulants to children may foster a drug habit and lead them later to illegal stimulants, such as cocaine and crystal meth. A recent UCLA research project confirms this concern. They analyzed 27 long-term studies that followed 4,100 children diagnosed with ADHD and 6800 without ADHD into adolescence and young adulthood. The ADHD-diagnosed kids were two to three times more likely than other children to develop serious substance abuse problems. (Per a Consumer Reports survey, 84 percent of ADHD-labeled children are treated with medications.)
So if these drugs are so harmful, why do drug companies market them so heavily for kids?
"Children are known to be compliant patients and that makes them a highly desirable market for drugs," says former drug company sales rep Gwen Olsen, author of Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher. "Children are forced by school personnel to take their drugs, they are forced by their parents to take their drugs, and they are forced by their doctors to take their drugs. So, children are the ideal patient-type because they represent refilled prescription compliance and 'longevity.' In other words, they will be lifelong patients and repeat customers for Pharma."
ADHD, ODD, Bipolar and the others were voted into existence by APA committees and made official by issuance in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual. A 2006 investigation by the University of Massachusetts and Tufts University disclosed that the majority of the committee members had financial ties to drug companies. (www.tufts.edu/~skrimsky/PDF/DSM%20C...)
The psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries admittedly do not cure anything, but only claim to manage symptoms with their psychoactive drugs.
Vice president of drug giant Bristol-Myers Squibb recently announced FDA approval for an expanded use of their bipolar blockbuster. He states, "Because bipolar disorder is a lifelong and recurrent illness, this labelling update provides physicians with the option to prescribe Abilify as an add-on to either lithium or valproate as a long-term treatment to help manage symptoms of Bipolar I Disorder." Translation for bipolars: "You'll be hooked on our medications for life."
Psychiatric drugging of children is big, big money, raking in billions a year.
But it's also a form of tyrannical social control. By classifying out-of-the-box, divergent behavior as "mental disorders" that must be subdued with medication, our next generation is conditioned into being good robots who know not to deviate from the status quo.
It seems we better pay more heed to Thomas Jefferson's warning: "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."

Chew on that pill for a minute.
"It's for the children."
Obviously the corporate psychiatric industry is simply legal organized criminal racketeering premeditatedly built and protected and served by criminal racketeers of which there are too many to name.
But it's also a form of tyrannical social control. By classifying out-of-the-box, divergent behavior as "mental disorders" that must be subdued with medication, our next generation is conditioned into being good robots who know not to deviate from the status quo. (((((Drug the "square pegs" into submission Ping."))))) The Communist Takeover Of America [Some call it communism, some call it Judaism] - 45 Declared Goals On January 10, 1963, the House of Representative and later the Senate began reviewing a document entitled "Communist Goals for Taking Over America. ... ...17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks. 32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc..... 38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. 39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. ..... "...as long as there..remain active enemies of the Christian church, we may hope to become Master of the World...the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before Christianity is overthrown - B'nai B'rith speech http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/luther.htm / http://bible.cc/psalms/83-4.htm
"The school curriculum should "…be designed to bend the student to the realities of society, especially by way of vocational education… the curriculum should be designed to promote mental health as an instrument for social progress and a means of altering culture…" "Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished ... The social psychologist of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at: first, that influences of the home are 'obstructive' and verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective ... It is for the future scientist to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen." "Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know – it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave." "Mental illness is often used as an ad homonym to discredit the individual. This has been a common use of psychiatric diagnosis in psychiatry in Russia. " ... there are two main groups [of schizophrenia patients] ... 1) people admitted to the mental hospital long before they had been political dissenters ... 2. others who ... have put forward complex social and economic theories as alternatives to orthodox Marxism..." pretty scary stuff...thanks.

and you just need to see the political ignorance and correctness displayed in the schools and the rest of society to know they have succeeded in their goals.

You're welcome. This is one subject I don't have to comment on heavily simply because the words of the authors of these fiendish programs speak louder than any amount of vilification I could concoct. They are in their designs and actions fitting of only one word: Evil.
Put little Johnny on a ritalin regimen and he'll cured of all his episodes of acting out (development of individuality). Society demands his conformance.
__________________________________________________________ Unfortunately they have been all too successful, and they have been at this since at least the 30's if not before. To take and warp a young mind, to drug them into submission, to force them to conform to a perverted society of slavehood is so vile and sick that it outrages me to the core of my being. It is a measure, and insight into their minds, of those who would rule us that they would employ such foul and repugnant methods merely to seek control over others.
Exactly. In the society of the hive there is no room for freedom of thought, speech, or behavior. The "Borg" are actually a very good model for what these foul perversions are aimed at. I would have been diagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder without Hyperactivity. Almost all these diagnoses are B.S. So are the drugs prescribed for them.

It is disgusting how far they will go for compliance and profit.....
" If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11
It may be disgusting to you, but to me it is criminal.
Very possibly. The #1 target for these diagnoses are active boys with above average I.Q.. I heard Beverly Eakman in one interview assert that such high I.Q. boys account for about 85% of all of the diagnosed cases of the phony marketing campaign disease ADHD. As much as I enjoy needling you, and disagree on some points, I don't regard you as a fool. I imagine Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn would be diagnosed with something or other in today's climate - probably ADHD for Tom and "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" for Huck. There, fixed it.
It may be disgusting to you, but to me it is criminal. And I agree with you both.
Hell, Twain himself would have been drugged-out. As would most men who accomplished anything of note. Check out wildestcolts.com for more.

Twain said when he was a boy he lived mainly on "allopathic medicine."

As would most men who accomplished anything of note. Very likely. Just as Ludwig Von Beethoven, the child of a syphilitic upper crust whore, would likely have been aborted were he born today. I'll check out the reference.

Judging by the resources listed on his site the articles he links to are credible and not the usual marketing hype to sell drugs.
No, not all of them are. Thing is, the disorders are CREATED by the various neurotoxins found in our food and water, (ie. MSG, artificial food colorings, Aspartame, fluoride), PLUS the injection of mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and other toxic agents deliberately placed into "vaccines". Any one of those things could cause some issues in terms of neurological damage, but the synergistic effect between them is magnitudes of order worse. Add the constant barrage of social engineering present in television PROGRAMMING, schools, and peer pressure from those who have been properly "educated", well, you have what we have today.

Add the constant barrage of social engineering present in television PROGRAMMING, schools, and peer pressure from those who have been properly "educated", well, you have what we have today. While I agree with your qualifications and expansion I still regard the diagnoses as B.S.. They are assigning, in the case of children damaged by other causes, a purely mental cause to a physical problem. So, the diagnosis is still bullshit as it is a false diagnosis.
The symptoms are what lead to the diagnosis, but the CAUSE of the symptoms is what is bullshit. They view the symptoms as an indicator of some nebulous disorder that has no known cause, and which can only be "treated" with psychoactive chemicals. If they removed the CAUSE of the disorder, then there would be no damage, thus no symptoms. Thing is, once the damage is done it is difficult to reverse. Brain damage is not something that can be "cured", although there are reports of children doing MUCH better after the causes have been eliminated from their diets, and who refrain from any further "vaccines".
Things certainly were different from today in many ways. White kids didn't try to act like "black gangstas", kids in general didn't view gay life as a "normal", and most respected their elders. The future seemed bright and full of hope, people actually cared about the world around them, and there were jobs for anyone who wished to work. Yep, back then things were truly better than they are now, where the "American Dream" was obtainable by anyone who wished to do so.
In segregated north TX then, the blacks lived on one side of the tracks and the whites, the other. There were too few Mexicans to notice. One did one hell of a business with his tamale stand by the Post Office in the winter, however. The black side had everything that we did from schools, churches, theaters, styling salons, clothes stores, funeral homes...I mean everything, and especially families with mom and dad present and on the job of rearing their kids properly. There were no gangstas of any color then. I didn't even know what a queer was, until one of the band boys tried to (most unsuccessfully) feel me up in HS. Shit, take me home country road. Enough of my back in the day rant.
Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot.
Well, it's official, the jewification of Uhhmerkka is complete. Parents treat their children as Palistinians, if they're not aborted before they're born, by giving them poison pills to force compliance, feeding them poison food, inject their bodies full of poison vaccines, make them drink poison water, poison their minds in the judeo K-12 prison system, then send them off to be mutilated and die in the endless jewWars. Criminal? Shit, we've become a nation of fucking monsters.
I wouldn't chew the pill, nor would I have my children chew on it. Giving all these pills to young kids have sedated them to the extent parents are no longer required to be attentive and caring parents. It not only makes for lackluster parents, but drug influenced students. What a sick society we live in.
Everyone chew the red pill.
