On Being Sane in Insane Places

In 1973, Dr. D. L. Rosenhan, a professor of psychology and law at Stanford University, published a ground-breaking psychiatric study in the January 19 issue of Science magazine. The article exposed a serious short-coming in the psychiatric hospital system at the time, and therefore it became very controversial. Dr. Rosenhan designed the study to try to answer the question in the title of this article: “If sanity and insanity exist, how shall we know them?”
The now famous (some of the offended or embarrassed psychiatrists preferred to call it “infamous”) experiment that was carried out involved 12 different psychiatric hospitals and 8 different people, mostly professionals (including the author). Each of the eight were totally and certifiably sane “pseudo-patients”.
A Couple of Reasons Why May 10, 1933 and January 6, 2021 are Two Dates That Will Live in Infamy

I couldn’t resist putting together this little group of photos from two fascist-leaning nations from different eras that exhibited similar political leanings.
No comment should be necessary, but it needs to be understood that proto-fascist cults have a disdain for liberal education and their cult-leaders (who are amoral, paranoid, narcissistic, megalomaniacal wannabe dictators) readily use violence and terror to take and maintain power. In addition, fascist movements always try to silence their opponents and enemies and therefore make use of censorship in their attempts to take power. (GGK)

Vaccine-induced Toxicity in Infants and Children Finally Acknowledged by Researchers Funded by the US Public Health Establishment

Below is the abstract of a recently published Drug Safety article that came out of a HHS, NIH, NIAID-funded study that actually acknowledges – contrary to the Establishment-approved narrative - the existence of vaccine-induced neurotoxicity (especially vaccine-induced encephalopathy resulting in childhood seizure disorders) and other adverse toxic effects following the cocktails of vaccines that are injected during routine well child exams , vaccines that always contain numbers of toxic ingredients, which have never been studied for safety when given in cocktails.
The article appears in the October 2020 issue of Drug Safety.

“Amy Coney Barrett claims to be religious; yet here she is perpetuating money grubbing entities who violate the commandments like “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s farm, thy neighbor’s ox or anything of thy neighbors”. How about thy neighbor’s right to 1 man - 1 vote?”– Anonymous

The “Future of Virtual Healthcare”, as Envisioned by the Current Crop of Big Pharma‘s Profiteering CEOs

When corporations in capitalism-run-amok societies like the United States are run primarily for excess profits and achieving ever-increasing shareholder value, ethical considerations and the spiritual and environmental costs to society are routinely disregarded. In such societies, it is considered normal for corporations of all sorts to regard profits, especially short-term profits, as the main criterion for decision-making - and NOT the well-being of the people or the environment.
Robert Kennedy, Jr’s Children’s Health Defense and Jeremy Hammond Respond to Big Pharma, Big Vaccine, Big Money, Big Media, the Once Prestigious Medical Journal Vaccine and the CDC’s False Accusations of Spreading “Misinformation”

In November 2019, the Washington Post and other major news media accused Children’s Health Defense (CHD) of using Facebook advertisements to spread “misinformation” about vaccines.
The basis for these accusations, which have since continued, is a study published in the prestigious medical journal Vaccine that named CHD as a top buyer of vaccine-related Facebook ads. What the media failed to inform the public, however, is that the government-funded – and therefore co-opted - authors of this study failed to identify even a single example of a Facebook ad from CHD that contained any misinformation.
Anti-Authoritarian, Anti-Globalization, Anti-Tyranny Quotes from Courageous Anti-Fascists Through History

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day."-- Theodore Roosevelt, April 19, 1906
“It’s ridiculous to talk about freedom in a society dominated by huge corporations. What kind of freedom is there inside a corporation? They’re totalitarian institutions - you take orders from above and maybe give them to people below you. There’s about as much freedom as under Stalinism.” --Noam Chomsky
White Supremacy and Police Brutality

In answering the question "What percentage of US police officers are ex-military?" Here is one estimate given by Dr. Kevin O'Neil, PHd, Professor of Public Administration and Psycology, University of Southern California (2016) .
“Post Viet Nam era probably 75% or so. Law enforcement certainly had an abundance of military-trained helicopter pilots that were quickly recruited for the fairly new police ‘eye in the sky’ ops.
“Today, that percentage is probably about 50% plus and in both cases the majority are former Marines. Why? No doubt a ‘combat personality’ that leaves them searching for that quasi-military atmosphere they miss upon discharge.”
In that regard, I found that the following New York Times editorial was very helpful in providing some background to America’s legendary problem of white supremacy and police brutality (not to mention America’s out-of-control national debt, which is in excess of 25 trillion dollars - largely because of excessive military spending over the years since the Viet Nam War.
