When Dissent Becomes Pathology
http://www.PhiladelphiaSyndicate.com/ ^ | 01/11/2004 | PHLSyndicate

GWB's Brave New World. There, I said. Its a cliché that I can't avoid, and a cliché that happens to be, well, true.

If you are a person of the politial persuasion who wishes government control our health care system, I'd advise you to be careful what you wish for -- you just might get it.

It seems that not only does our "conservative" president have the honour of passing the largest piece of social welfare spending since Lyndon Johnson, with the government-funded prescription drug plan, he will most likely be the first President to wield medical science as a weapon against political dissidents through the use of forced drugging and institutionalization for "the politically paranoid."

Wow. This is almost as cool as Eugenics!

Opposing Bush - A Form of Mental Illness?

When the 109th Congress convenes in Washington in January, Senator Bill Frist, the first practicing physician elected to the Senate since 1928, plans to file a bill that would define 'political paranoia' as a mental disorder, paving the way for individuals who suffer from paranoid delusions regarding voter fraud, political persecution and FBI surveillance to receive Medicare reimbursement for any psychiatric treatment they receive," writes Hermione Slatkin, Medical Correspondent for the Swift Report. "Rick Smith, a spokesman for Senator Frist, says that the measure has a good chance of passing­something that can only help a portion of the population that is suffering significant distress."

Not only is "treatment" of the politically paranoid on the agenda of our benevolent leader, so is the drugging of our children.

Federal Control of Education Must End

The Department of Education is spending $5 million on “Mental Health Integration in Schools” as well as another million dollars for Sen. Kennedy’s early childhood mental health program called “Foundations for Learning.” All this is a boon to the pharmaceutical industry, but a horror for the children whose mental health is not the school’s responsibility. It is just one more effort to wrest control of a parents’ fundamental rights and responsibility over the welfare of their children.

Ron Paul, my favorite Republican, worked to introduce legislation that would at least require parental consent -- but it was voted down. Go figure.

Republicans Have Family under Attack

The idea that children should be routinely examined for mental illness at school and possibly drugged without their parents’ consent is something out of a horrifying science-fiction novel in which a totalitarian state runs everything. Critics of government schooling have long warned that political control of education is an affront to the family and would lead to further usurpation of its authority. The widespread prescription of Ritalin for so-called attention-deficit disorder was only the beginning. In 2002 Bush appointed the Orwellian-named New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, which last year issued its recommendations for universal screening.

Am I the only one who is a bit creeped out by all of this? Just as a welfare state necessitates a warfare state, and vice versa, government control of health care necessitates the politicization and abuse of power granted by that authority.

That is as true as the fact that those with power only want one thing -- more power.

The Conspiracy Runs Deep PartII (ZOT!!! I told ya once already, Juwish modz are in on it.)
Today the truth is told | Lone voice in the Wilderness


Posted on 01/11/2005 9:38:48 AM PST by They are watching you


Why are we so afraid of the Israeli? That is question. Why do Bush and all spent so much money on the oppression of the Jewish land owners of Palestine land and rights? Does not he know that he makes Allah (peace be upon him) angry when he supports so much oppression?

Let me say this again as I have said many times THIS IS wrONG ON sO MANY LEVELS THAT IT LEAVES ONE WIthOUT BREATH!!!!!

I see many on this web site also give support to the ZIONIST entity of eternal anger and destruction. How many times must Allah (peace be upon him) warn THE INFIDEL of the dangers OF THIS!!!!

Do you KNOW how many have DIED at THE HANDS of the illegal power that is Israel? Many have not seen the light of day because of the onslaught of the tanks and weapons of death that they fire and make burn upon us. As we struggle for homeland and writes to live and work as humans in the warm sun of the Palestine. Our olives and figs trees have been DESTORYED by the hands of the Jewish army on our land. They even have kill many Americans including the heroic Rachel Corrie who placed herself in the path of a tank as it was about to fire upon a group of simple school children on their way to classes to learn information to better themselves to get jobs at good prices to leave the camps and become something of a success.

Yet with this true information and knowledge the Bush and his Jewish cabinet men Pearle, Wolfiwitz and Rumsfield do nothing as they have been given their orders from the mossad who have compromised them all by getting pictures of them with small boys during a secret trip the BAHAMAS. Now because of their loose morals (that be found only in the Koran) they now must do what every Sharon and the Jews tell them to do. Israel now has become the controller of the US. The controller of the economy and military is now the Jew. So I wonder why good Americans like us on this web site who love freedom would stand by as this country is sold to the Israel?

You may laugh at the truth of these words but they are fact. Do your own searching of the matter and you will find out the truth. You will be next!! Very soon I fear, the Mossad will come after this web site and many members will find themselves with very tough and crazy problems to deal with. Just ask your President, he is now the Mossad’s #1 DOUBLE AGENT!!!!

PLEASE DO SOMETHING AND WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!
