FoxNews Speaks Up Against Psychiatric Drugging of Children

FoxNews has a show called Hannity's America that aired about two weeks ago about teens and anti-depressants. Check it out.

Kids being given untested psychiatric drugs

Doctors prescribe untested psychiatric drugs for children.

Hate to say I told you so

Currently there is an article by Dr. Ira Lesser out called Ethnicity/Race and Outcome in the Treatment of Depression. This article says that poor people - specifically blacks and Latinos - are more depressed then whites. How is that not racist? How is that not using eugenics?

Contemporary Eugenics

Eugenics ideology is still prevalent throughout psychologists' utterances and writings. American psychologist Richard Herrnstein's 1994 book The Bell Curve, labeled African Americans and Hispanics "genetically disabled", claiming that they were intellectually inferior due to heredity and asserted that neither education nor training could change this. He also advocated selective breeding to prevent human "residue" from being born.

Today, racism still exists in all walks of life. This can be changed by throwing out the idea that individuals of a race, color or creed that is not your own is somehow a lesser human being than yourself, and by making sure we judge people by what they do and not their skin color or religion.

There's a ton more information about psychiatry at www.cchr.org and there's a DVD you can buy on the website. Also the Psychiatry, An Industry of Death Museum and the traveling Psychiatry, An Industry of Death exhibits.

Eugenics - Behind the Holocaust

In 1895 psychiatrist Alfred Ploetz introduced eugenics to Germany, expanding it to include killing those he considered "undesirables". He published "The Fitness of Our Race and the Protection of the Weak", coining the word "rassenhygiene", which means in English: "racial hygiene". Ploetz used this book to inspire psychiatrists to assess the value of people and to weed out and kill those they deemed inferior.

In 1905, Ploetz and his brother-in-law, Ernst Rudin co-founded the German Society of Racial Hygene and by 1911 - more than 2 decades before the Nazi party came to power - Ernst Ruden was saying that "All nations have to haul around with them an extraordinarily large number of inferiors, weaklings, sickly and cripples. Through the wise legislation (allowing sterilization) along this line... we would also be able to pursue rationally the best avenues for breeding."

By 1932, Ploetz's "cleansing" theories were taught in 26 courses throughout German universities. Hitler consulted Ploetz's work and Fritz Lenz's book, "Foundation of Human Genetics and Racial Hygiene". They became his basis for his vision of Germany.

Alfred Ploetz was considered one of the greatest heroes of the Nazi cause and in 1936 was awarded the Goethe Medallion, Germany's highest honor for achievement in science.

Hitler's personal doctors - eugenicists Karl Brant and Theodor Morell - piloted the first "mercy killing" on "defective children" and helped psychiatrists draw up the plans for a child euthanasia program.

On August 18th, 1939 - 14 day before the invasion of Poland - a committee planned the killing of all deformed children. Psychiatrists and doctors were given the power to "grant mercy death" to "patients". By October of 1939, the first official adult euthanasia applications were sent to psychiatric institutions, were 48 psychiatrists evaluated them and determined who should be killed.

There's more. The gas "shower" rooms we've all heard about, Jews, mentally challenged people, the deformed, the disabled, homosexuals - all got killed during World War II - and all because psychiatrists made up euthanasia as a "cure" for civilization.

After the war, only 23 German doctors were accused at the Nuremberg Trials, out of which only 16 were convicted of crimes against humanity. Of these, only five were psychiatrists.

British psychiatrist J.R. Reese, US psychiatrist Frank Fremont Smith and Germany's psychiatrist Werner Villinger ensured that German psychiatrists continued to treat war-ravaged Germans after the war.
Werner Villinger was a psychiatrist who worked in the infamous "T4" unit - the unit that killed some 300,000 "mentally defective" persons - 94% of Germany's "mentally ill" - all killed at the hands of psychiatrists.

Later, the president of the German Society of Psychiatrists said victims "had to encounter the very people who once inflicted their tortures." He called this grim phase the "second road to sacrifice".

Never identified or tried as the mass murderers they were, psychiatrists continued to promote eugenics around the world.

All of the information I have exposed in my history of psychiatry on this blog has been from the Citizen's Commission of Human Rights. Their informative documentary information, their magazine, the website and the Psychiatry, an Industry of Death Museum that they have set up on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood California, are all amazing sources of information regarding the truths behind psychiatry.

Eugenics Today

Eugenics ideology is still prevalent throughout psychologist's utterances and writings. American psychologist Richard Herrnstein's 1994 book, The Bell Curve, labeled African Americans and Hispanics as "genetically disabled", claimed they were intellectually inferior due to heredity and asserted that neither education nor training could change this.

This is something that needs to be stopped. Who is to say that people cannot be changed? If that's the case, what's the point of jail - not the rehabilitation of a criminal. What's the point of life if not to grow and learn and change?

In my experiences in Scientology, I know I have changed. I have achieved greater intelligence and my reaction time is faster. I hardly get sick anymore.
I've seen others change too. So, this whole "Eugenics" nonsense is simply that, nonsense.

Eugenics continued

In 1870 British psychologist Herbert Spencer began to widely promote eugenics and claimed that selective breeding of the fittest would bring about a superior race and the unfit should be allowed to die out. He recommended that natural selection be allowed to take it's course and stated that the government should do nothing to help the poor, weak or "unfit". Herbert Spencer also claimed that aiding the children of the poor was a serious crime against society because it would "disadvantage the offspring of the worthy." He named his brand of eugenics "evolutionary psychology." He opposed enacting laws to mandate safety standards for housing, clean-water systems, effective sewage systems and mine and factory regulations because they represented an "artificial preservation of those least able to take care of themselves."

The United States was not immune to the eugenics ideology. In 1896, Connecticut enacted a law prohibiting the "insane" from marrying. Other states followed, threatening the mentally ill with a $1000 fine and five years in prison if they wed. Charles Davenport, who studied British psychological eugenics, argued that if a society had to choose between allowing "mental defectives" to procreate or executing them, the latter was preferable.

By the 1920s, eugenic sterilization was practiced in two dozen states. In 1921, the Second International Congress on Eugenics in New York declared that science should "enlighten government in the prevention of the spread and multiplication of worthless members of society."

During the 1930s, United States immigration policies were guided by eugenics theories, and many peoples of Italian and Easter European descent were turned away. And, to a large extent, as in Germany, anti-Semitism was fueled by advocates of the eugenics fallacy.

As last as 1974, women on welfare were twice as likely as other women to be sterilized. 25% of Native American woman had been sterilized and a decline in fertility was most pronounced amount African and Mexican Americans.

These same theories of eugenics inspired Adolf Hitler in his seminal book "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle).

Francis Galton

I've been gone quite a lot and have been neglecting my blogging - so here I am, back and ready to give you another piece of the history of psychiatry. This one involves eugenics - which is what Hitler used when he decided that Aryans were the "master race" and that Jews, homosexuals and mentally challenged people were "unfit to live". Eugenics is the "science" Hitler used to justify all of his heinous acts on humanity, and here's who invented it:

In 1883, Francis Galton - English psychologist and Charles Darwin's half cousin - invented the term eugenics (meaning "good stock"). Galton supported Darwin's theory that Man had evolved from classes of lower animals. He promoted the breeding of better "human stock" and discouraged the reproduction of those considered less desirable.
The progression from Wundt's "Man is an animal" theory to the breeding doctrines of eugenics was a natural one.

Galton once said, "The science of improving the stock [will] give more suitable races or strains of blood a better chance of prevailing speedily over the less suitable..."
