Mandatory Psychological Testing of All School Age Children???

[texastoast]

HR 181, “The Parental Consent Act of 2005,” OPPOSES mandatory psychological testing of school-age children recommended by shrub's "New Freedom Commission on Mental Health."

I don't know whether this applies to private schools. There is more reading to do.

The text of the Commission's report to the "President" (paid for by our tax dollars) can be found at this link:

Ron Paul, noted for his Libertarianistic bent and who is a repug, is right about this one (and absolutely wrong about many other issues). The page on his website about HR 181 can be found at:

My question number one is: Why is a Republican leading the charge against this Hitleristic insanity? Where are the @%#%ing Democrats? Yoooo-hoooo!

My question number two is: Where is the "free press" and why are we hearing NOTHING about this??

2. before one takes a breath of oxygen on this planet

It goes way beyond. This has been done before. (see 1930, etc.)

Why are we shocked now?

Mandatory mental health screening program would dose pregnant women with prescription drugs that cause birth defects

Bureaucrats in Chicago are currently discussing a proposal to require the mental health screening of all pregnant women and children up to the age of 18 years old. The purported mission of the program is to protect the health of the public by diagnosing mental disorders before they become full blown problems -- but in reality, as we've seen from similar programs in the past, the real mission is to diagnose people with fictitious brain diseases and behavioral disorders, then dose them with highly toxic prescription drugs that not only generate profits for pharmaceutical companies, but also for the psychiatrists who prescribe them.

(cut)

There seems to be no limit to how far the highly corrupt psychiatry community and prescription drug companies will carry this to exert control over the population and generate obscene profits. And the truth is that anyone can be diagnosed with a mental disorder given sufficient creativity on the part of the psychiatrists. If a person is too creative and excited, they have Attention Deficit Disorder. If they're not creative enough, they have a reading disorder. And if they get nervous while being observed by the psychiatrist, they obviously have a social anxiety disorder. See? It doesn't take much to invent behavioral disorders and then come up with fraudulently marketed drugs that claim to mask symptoms of those disorders.

Welcome to Insane USA, where the mission of the pharmaceutical industry seems to be: let's put as many people as possible on as many brain altering drugs as possible. And, if you've noticed, the whole idea of diagnosing disease has shifted over the last ten years from diseases that had measurable symptoms (such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or cancer tumors) to diseases that are largely subjective and have no objective definition.

I'm pretty sure I have a brain disorder.
It's called:

"trying to make sense of so-called reality which has been created to control and profit off the rest of humanity".

3. True reality -- it's on their hit list

They only want the reality THEY put into motion ... The rest of us in the true "reality-based community" are through the looking glass as far as they're concerned and need to be medicated. This is SICK!

Anything to dummy down.

The public school system could not do it, as hard as they have tried.

Some of us just won't be dummies.

Oh the dilemma for the "BASE".
(see F-911 .. the ultra rich and they think powerful.. smirking chimp says . some call you the "HAVES and the HAVE MORES.. I call you my BASE")

Despicable.

5. Catch the oxymoronic use of the word "Freedom"

This deal was one of my main talking points before election. It may have won Kerry a couple of votes.

6. Situational Depression

Can anyone tell me why there is a disorder for something that is a normal part of life?

A loved one dies suddenly and you grieve. Instead of being allowed to grieve in the right way for you as long as it takes you, the psychiatric industry now has a nice handy label for you and some drugs to take along with it.

Would you be happy and perky and chipper, smiling all the time the day after your favorite aunt died? How about if she died two months after your one and only grandparent died?

This doesn't piss me off as much as the armchair therapists who, because they're seeing a therapist for something, everyone else should and if they don't think they need to, they're in denial.

:grr:
