Violence in schools

  • May 21, 1998, Springfield, Oregon: 15-year-old Kip Kinkel
  • April 16, 1999: Notus, Idaho: 15-year-old Shawn Cooper
  • April 20, 1999, Columbine, Colorado: 18-year-old Eric Harris
  • May 20, 1999, Conyers, Georgia: 15-year-old T.J. Solomon
  • March 7, 2000, Williamsport, Pennsylvania: 14-year-old Elizabeth Bush
  • March 22, 2001, El Cajon, California: 18-year-old Jason Hoffman
That's 6 school shootings in 3 years. 35 wounded, 14 students murdered, 1 teacher murdered and one of the gunmen follow with his own life.

Each one of them on psychiatric antidepressive drugs - how do these stats look to you?

An Industry Like No Other

The latest article from the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights International is specifically on the misrepresentation of the harmful psychotropic drugs.

This misrepresentation, which in one case is attributed with 360 murders and acts of violence committed by individuals taking antidepressants.

The full story of this is fully covered in Psychiatry: An Industry of Death, get the DVD here.

Keeps coming

False normalities of portrayed by this crap of article is ridiculous.

Over the years, self-help authors have bent themselves into a pop-psych pretzel trying to identify and cure a battery of seasonal ailments—from the midsummer doldrums to spring fever to back-to-school blahs. What surprises me is that, with all this credentialed attention paid to the emotional distresses that seem to come and go with the equinoxes, nowhere has there been a serious exploration of Thanksgiving-to-Christmastime angst.

Oh, sure, you've read the homespun tips for coping with the upcoming seasonal stress (e.g., relentless familial interaction, gift-giving anxiety, Bowl Game viewing selection). But where is a down-and-dirty checklist of those real turkey-to-mistletoe neuroses—you know, the ones that linger in the pit of your stomach like a lump of coal in the toe of a stocking?

Having celebrated 47 Christmases in my lifetime—18 of them as the youngest son in a Jewish family, 19 as a carefree agnostic and the past ten holed up in the guest room of my Episcopalian in-laws' house in Cleveland—I know a thing or two about how the yuletide brings out the fruitcake in all of us.

Deck the halls, America. Carefully.


This is followed up with 11 holiday neurosis about as convincing as any one of the DSM's.

Not so bad considerring it's totally a farse. But to clear up any misconceptions someone might have that these are fake but there are real ones, be assured there are not. Check the DSM on CCHR.org and watch this documentary.

This is just way to far out:

The researchers found that while drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) -- which include Celexa, Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft -- do increase the risk of suicide attempts, they actually lessened patients' risk of dying by suicide.

One expert agreed that there is a big difference between attempted suicide and actual suicide.

"Antidepressants don't lead to [suicide] deaths," said Dr. Arif Khan, from the Northwest Clinical Research Center, Bellevue, Washington, who was not involved in the study. "The concept that is difficult for most people to grasp is that there is a correlation between suicide attempt and suicide, but the correlation is weak."


Does that any sense at all? See more on it over here. Find out the truth on Big Pharma at www.cchr.org

What if..

Pfizer cuts off development on cholesterol drug after study finds unexpected number of deaths


Now what if their response to that was this:

Does this mean it will cost more? No? Ok. Fine, steady on with it then.


Can't image this happening? Think again.
