“Promoting diabolically false science, psychiatry creates a gateway for defining many separate states of consciousness that don’t exist at all. They’re cheap myths, fairy tales.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
Note: This is an expanded version of my recent piece about psychiatry. It contains far more evidence that psychiatry is a highly dangerous fraud.
Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump, the deployment of psychiatrists to diagnose a person they oppose on political grounds is a tactic—not science.
In some cases, psychiatrists give favored individuals a soft landing—“Well, he’s suffering from bipolar and he needs help straightening out his life”—while in other cases these shrinks use their diagnoses to discredit and diminish public figures—“his judgment is impaired, pay no attention to what he’s saying, he needs treatment (toxic drugs).”
It’s the old USSR strategy, with a few cultural twists to fit the American landscape.
It’s time to lay out the facts about psychiatry, to show how bankrupt this “science” really is.
Wherever you see organized psychiatry operating, you see it trying to expand its domain and its dominance. The Hippocratic Oath to do no harm? Are you kidding?
The first question to ask is: do these mental disorders have any scientific basis? There are now roughly 300 of them. They multiply like fruit flies.
An open secret has been bleeding out into public consciousness for the past ten years.
THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE LABORATORY TESTS FOR ANY SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDER.
No blood tests, no urine tests, no saliva tests, no brain scans, no genetic assays.
And along with that:
ALL SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDERS ARE CONCOCTED, NAMED, LABELED, DESCRIBED, AND CATEGORIZED by a committee of psychiatrists, from menus of human behaviors.
Their findings are published in periodically updated editions of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), printed by the American Psychiatric Association.
For years, even psychiatrists have been blowing the whistle on this hazy crazy process of “research.”
Of course, pharmaceutical companies, who manufacture highly toxic drugs to treat every one of these “disorders,” are leading the charge to invent more and more mental-health categories, so they can sell more drugs and make more money.
In a PBS Frontline episode, Does ADHD Exist?, Dr. Russell Barkley, an eminent professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, unintentionally spelled out the fraud.
PBS FRONTLINE INTERVIEWER: Skeptics say that there’s no biological marker—that it [ADHD] is the one condition out there where there is no blood test, and that no one knows what causes it.
BARKLEY: That’s tremendously naïve, and it shows a great deal of illiteracy about science and about the mental health professions. A disorder doesn’t have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental disorders would be invalid…There is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science. That doesn’t make them invalid.
Oh, indeed, that does make them invalid. Utterly and completely. All 297 mental disorders. They’re all hoaxes. Because there are no defining tests of any kind to back up the diagnosis.
You can sway and tap dance and bloviate all you like and you won’t escape the noose. We are looking at a science that isn’t a science. That’s called fraud. Rank fraud.
There’s more. Under the radar, one of the great psychiatric stars, who has been out in front inventing mental disorders, went public. He blew the whistle on himself and his colleagues. And for years, almost no one noticed.
His name is Dr. Allen Frances, and he made VERY interesting statements to Gary Greenberg, author of a Wired article: “Inside the Battle to Define Mental Illness.” (Dec.27, 2010).
Major media never picked up on the interview in any serious way. It never became a scandal.
Dr. Allen Frances is the man who, in 1994, headed up the project to write the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the DSM-IV. This tome defines and labels and describes every official mental disorder. The DSM-IV eventually listed 297 of them.
In an April 19, 1994, New York Times piece, “Scientist At Work,” Daniel Goleman called Frances “Perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the moment…”
Well, sure. If you’re sculpting the entire canon of diagnosable mental disorders for your colleagues, for insurers, for the government, for Pharma (who will sell the drugs matched up to the 297 DSM-IV diagnoses), you’re right up there in the pantheon.
Long after the DSM-IV had been put into print, Dr. Frances talked to Wired’s Greenberg and said the following:
“There is no definition of a mental disorder. It’s bullshit. I mean, you just can’t define it.”
BANG.
That’s on the order of the designer of the Hindenburg, looking at the burned rubble on the ground, remarking, “Well, I knew there would be a problem.”
After a suitable pause, Dr. Frances remarked to Greenberg, “These concepts [of distinct mental disorders] are virtually impossible to define precisely with bright lines at the borders.”
Frances might have been obliquely referring to the fact that his baby, the DSM-IV, had rearranged earlier definitions of ADHD and Bipolar to permit many MORE diagnoses, leading to a vast acceleration of drug-dosing with highly powerful and toxic compounds.
If this is medical science, a duck is a rocket ship.
To repeat, Dr. Frances’ work on the DSM IV allowed for MORE toxic drugs to be prescribed, because the definitions of Bipolar and ADHD were expanded to include more people.
Adverse effects of Valproate (given for a Bipolar diagnosis) include:
acute, life-threatening, and even fatal liver toxicity;
life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas;
brain damage.Adverse effects of Lithium (also given for a Bipolar diagnosis) include:
intercranial pressure leading to blindness;
peripheral circulatory collapse;
stupor and coma.Adverse effects of Risperdal (given for “Bipolar”) include:
serious impairment of cognitive function;
fainting;
restless muscles in neck or face, tremors (may be indicative of motor brain damage).
Dr. Frances self-admitted label-juggling act also permitted the definition of ADHD to expand, thereby opening the door for greater and greater use of Ritalin (and other similar amphetamine-like compounds) as the treatment of choice.
So…what about Ritalin?
In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a most important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called “An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate)” [v.21(7), pp. 837-841].
Scarnati listed a large number of adverse effects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms.
For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature:
Paranoid delusions
Paranoid psychosis
Hypomanic and manic symptoms, amphetamine-like psychosis
Activation of psychotic symptoms
Toxic psychosis
Visual hallucinations
Auditory hallucinations
Can surpass LSD in producing bizarre experiences
Effects pathological thought processes
Extreme withdrawal
Terrified affect
Started screaming
Aggressiveness
Insomnia
Since Ritalin is considered an amphetamine-type drug, expect amphetamine-like effects
Psychic dependence
High-abuse potential DEA Schedule II Drug
Decreased REM sleep
When used with antidepressants one may see dangerous reactions including hypertension, seizures and hypothermia
Convulsions
Brain damage may be seen with amphetamine abuse.
Let’s go deeper. In the US alone, there are at least 300,000 cases of motor brain damage incurred by people who have been prescribed so-called anti-psychotic drugs (aka “major tranquilizers”). Risperdal (mentioned above as a drug given to people diagnosed with Bipolar) is one of those major tranquilizers. (source: Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin, St. Martin’s Press, 1991)
This psychiatric drug plague is accelerating across the land.
Where are the mainstream reporters and editors and newspapers and TV anchors who should be breaking this story and mercilessly hammering on it week after week? They are in harness.
Thank you, Dr. Frances.
Let’s take a little trip back in time and review how one psychiatric drug, Prozac, escaped a bitter fate, by hook and by crook. It’s an instructive case.
Prozac, in fact, endured a rocky road in the press for a while. Stories on it rarely appear now. The major media have backed off. But on February 7th, 1991, Amy Marcus’ Wall Street Journal article on the drug carried the headline, “Murder Trials Introduce Prozac Defense.”
She wrote, “A spate of murder trials in which defendants claim they became violent when they took the antidepressant Prozac are imposing new problems for the drug’s maker, Eli Lilly and Co.”
Also on February 7, 1991, the New York Times ran a Prozac piece headlined, “Suicidal Behavior Tied Again to Drug: Does Antidepressant Prompt Violence?”
In his landmark book, Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin mentions that the Donahue show (Feb. 28, 1991) “put together a group of individuals who had become compulsively self-destructive and murderous after taking Prozac and the clamorous telephone and audience response confirmed the problem.”
A shocking review-study published in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases (1996, v.184, no.2), written by Rhoda L. Fisher and Seymour Fisher, called “Antidepressants for Children,” concludes: “Despite unanimous literature of double-blind studies indicating that antidepressants are no more effective than placebos in treating depression in children and adolescents, such medications continue to be in wide use.”
An instructive article, “Protecting Prozac,” by Michael Grinfeld, in the December 1998 California Lawyer, opens several doors. Grinfeld notes that “in the past year nearly a dozen cases involving Prozac have disappeared from the court record.” He was talking about law suits against the manufacturer, Eli Lilly, and he was saying that those cases had apparently been settled, without trial, in such a quiet and final way, with such strict confidentiality, that it is almost as if they never happened.
Grinfeld details a set of maneuvers involving attorney Paul Smith, who in the early 1990s became the lead plaintiffs’ counsel in the famous Fentress lawsuit against Eli Lilly.
The plaintiffs made the accusation that Prozac had induced a man to commit murder. This was the first action involving Prozac to reach a trial and jury, so it would establish a major precedent for a large number of other pending suits against the manufacturer.
The case: On September 14, 1989, Joseph Wesbecker, a former employee of Standard Gravure, in Louisville, Kentucky, walked into the workplace, with an AK-47 and a SIG Sauer pistol, killed eight people, wounded 12 others, and committed suicide. Family members of the victims subsequently sued Eli Lilly, the maker of Prozac, on the grounds that Wesbecker had been pushed over the edge into violence by the drug.
The trial: After what many people thought was a very weak attack on Lilly by plaintiffs’ lawyer Smith, the jury came back in five hours with an easy verdict favoring Lilly and Prozac.
Grinfeld writes, “Lilly’s defense attorneys predicted the verdict would be the death knell for [anti-]Prozac litigation.”
But that wasn’t the end of the Fentress case. “Rumors began to circulate that [the plaintiffs’ attorney] Smith had made several [prior] oral agreements with Lilly concerning the evidence that would be presented [in Fentress], the structure of a postverdict settlement, and the potential resolution of Smith’s other [anti-Prozac] cases.”
In other words, the rumors declared: This plaintiff’s lawyer, Smith, made a deal with Lilly. He, Smith, would present a weak attack, omitting evidence damaging to Prozac, so that the jury would find Lilly innocent of all charges. In return, the case would be settled secretly, with Lilly paying out big monies to Smith’s client. In this way, Lilly would avoid the exposure of a public settlement, and through the innocent verdict, would discourage other potential plaintiffs from suing it over Prozac.
The rumors congealed. The judge in the Fentress case, John Potter, asked lawyers on both sides if “money had changed hands.” He wanted to know if the fix was in. The lawyers said no money had been paid, “without acknowledging that an agreement was in place.”
Judge Potter didn’t stop there. In April 1995, Grinfeld notes, “In court papers, Potter wrote that he was surprised that the plaintiffs’ attorneys [Smith] hadn’t introduced evidence that Lilly had been charged criminally for failing to report deaths from another of its drugs to the Food and Drug Administration. Smith had fought hard [during the Fentress trial] to convince Judge Potter to admit that evidence, and then unaccountably withheld it.”
In Potter’s motion, he alleged that “Lilly [in the Fentress case] sought to buy not just the verdict, but the court’s judgment as well.”
In 1996, the Kentucky Supreme Court issued an opinion: “… there was a serious lack of candor with the trial court [during Fentress] and there may have been deception, bad faith conduct, abuse of the judicial process or perhaps even fraud.”
After the Supreme Court remanded the Fentress case back to the state attorney general’s office, the whole matter dribbled away, and then resurfaced in a different form, in another venue. At the time of the California Lawyer article, a new action against Smith was unresolved. Eventually, Eli Lilly escaped punishment.
Based on the rigged Fentress case, Eli Lilly silenced many lawsuits based on Prozac inducing murder and suicide.
Quite a story.
And it all really starts with the institution of psychiatry inventing a whole branch of science that doesn’t exist, thereby defining 300 mental disorders that don’t exist.
Here’s a coda:
This one is big.
The so-called “chemical-imbalance theory of mental illness” is dead.
Dr. Ronald Pies, the editor-in-chief emeritus of the Psychiatric Times, laid the theory to rest in the July 11, 2011, issue of the Times with this staggering admission:
“In truth, the ‘chemical imbalance’ notion was always a kind of urban legend — never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists.”
Boom.
Dead.
However…urban legend? No. For decades, the whole basis of psychiatric drug research, drug prescription, and drug sales has been: “We’re correcting a chemical imbalance in the brain; every mental disorder stems from such a chemical imbalance.”
The problem was, researchers had never established a normal baseline for chemical balance. So they were shooting in the dark. Worse, they were faking a theory. Pretending they knew something when they didn’t.
In his 2011 piece in Psychiatric Times, Dr. Pies tries to cover his colleagues in the psychiatric profession with this fatuous remark:
“In the past 30 years, I don’t believe I have ever heard a knowledgeable, well-trained psychiatrist make such a preposterous claim [about chemical imbalance in the brain], except perhaps to mock it…the ‘chemical imbalance’ image has been vigorously promoted by some pharmaceutical companies, often to the detriment of our patients’ understanding.”
Absurd. First of all, many psychiatrists have explained and do explain to their patients that the drugs are there to correct a chemical imbalance.
And second, if all well-trained psychiatrists have known, all along, that the chemical-imbalance theory is a fraud…
…then why on earth have they been prescribing tons of drugs to their patients…
…since those drugs are developed on the false premise that they correct a chemical imbalance?
Here’s what’s happening. The honchos of psychiatry are seeing the handwriting on the wall. Their game has been exposed. They’re taking heavy flack on many fronts.
The chemical-imbalance theory is a fake. There are no defining physical tests for any of the 300 so-called mental disorders. All diagnoses are based on arbitrary clusters or menus of human behavior. The drugs are harmful, dangerous, toxic. Some of them induce violence. Suicide, homicide. Some of the drugs cause brain damage.
Psychiatry is a pseudoscience.
So the shrinks have to move into another model, another con, another fraud. And they’re looking for one.
For example, mental disorders are the result of genes plus “psycho-social factors.” A mish-mash of more unproven science.
“New breakthrough research on the functioning of the brain is paying dividends and holds great promise…” Professional propaganda.
It’s all gibberish, all the way down.
Meanwhile, the business model demands drugs for sale.
So even though the chemical-imbalance nonsense has been discredited, it will continue on as a dead man walking, a zombie.
Big Pharma isn’t going to back off. Trillions of dollars are at stake.
And in the wake of Aurora, Colorado, Sandy Hook, the Naval Yard, and other mass shootings, the hype is expanding: “We must have new community mental-health centers all over America.”
More fake diagnosis of mental disorders, more devastating drugs.
You want to fight for a right?
Fight for the right of every adult to refuse medication. Fight for the right of every parent to refuse medication for his/her child.

Psychiatry has a lucrative symbiotic relationship with the pharmaceutical industry. Psychiatrist make money hand over fist from the adverse side affects (iatrogenic injuries) of the antipsychotics. The “side effects” are mostly rediagnosed as a new mental illness which bring the patient back for more toxic drug treatment. Each new treatment creates new “adverse side effect” and the cycle continues. Itentially creating lasting withdrawal “discontinuation” symptoms (injuries) by abruptly stopping drug treatment, polypharmacy, changing drug brand or dosages also keeps the revolving door open. A 10-20 minute office evaluation can open time slots in their office schedule to bring in more patients daily. This is the only reason why Psychiatrist have one of the top ten paying occupations in the US.
The DSM diagnosis for any mental illness clearly states that the mental symptoms must not be from a physical or medical cause before it can be diagnosed as a mental illness. Most Psychiatrist side-step this requirement because it not as lucrative to run physical exams, blood work, toxic exposure background investigations, nutritional defciencies, concise medical history and the like to identify a physical cause for a patients mental symptoms before psychiatric drugs are administered. The book “Wall of Silence, The Untold Story…” describes how the medical industry easily hides their “physical” medical mistakes in an effort to prevent tort lawsuits. These are “physical” mistakes that can be found by thoroughly investigating the physical evidence. In the psychiatric realm, there is no physical evidence to be found or can be easily be hidden as a manifestation of underlying psychiatric illness unless you want to slice up a living person’s brain. Psychiatric have a multilayed veil of secrecy, such as doctor client privilege, HEPA laws, attorney client privilege, the medical expert cabal that will not rat out another bad doctor in fear of retaliation from the remaining cabal, court prosecutors and judges who often rely on the medical expert testamony to put away a known criminal, even the pharmaceutical corporations will provide the psychiatrist legal support to fend off a legal challenge. The psychiatrist will still uphold the oath of “do no harm…”, but it has just been perverted into do no harm to their pharmaceutical investors, fellow doctors, their pocketbook, and their lucrative psychiatric industry. I can go on and on but will stop here. Feedback is welcomed.
Psychology is old fashiond mind control or hypnotism or kabbalah. First they were priests, witch doctors. One tells you BS, the other drugs you. Today these are called psychologist (bs talk), and psychiatrists (drug you). The reason there are two is for plausible deniability in case you die, it used to be just one BS artist could treat you and prescribe drugs but they changed that when too many people died from the drugs so to cover their asses, they invented a psychiatrist who works with the psychologist to keep them out of jail for malpractice. 80 percent of these quacks are jews, lawyers too. If they aren’t jews, they have sworn an oath to them and are freemasons. Very few non jewish, freemasonic doctors in any profession, but they purposely have a few to avoid RICO laws. MAGA.
Another word for psychiatry is hocus pocus voodoo magic. No science to be found. I do like your suggestion of Mind Control. Brain washing the masses.
in short, we live in a kind of matrix world, where world is a stage of a huge lying parade show.
almost everything is a lie, to a certain degree. politicians etc. talk for decades.
& for years you can watch on youtube etc. & see it clearly that they repeat & repeat the same old things & not solve it. e.g trumps speech recently in davos, switzerland WEF = world economy.
they say: solve hunger & poverty, give jobs, education & medicine etc. LOOKS LIKE:
– food = gmo & glyphosate + antibiotics & groth hormon food &
– medicine = not solve causes but give pain killer /suppresser.
– job = gives you almost no free time to experience life &
– money = buy materialism to let you disconnect of humans.
– phones, pc & tv = news (teach being fear & hate) & entertainment (be superficial & not care).
– education = prepare to accept for this pointless life & learn to blindly obey authorities.
labor school, not school of life with parents who went through that too. poor kids.
Thanks for the blunt, well-done article. Psychiatry IS a fraud. Yeah, what a crazy idea… 🙂
I’ve gone into battle with this beast periodically. I’ve been involved in inmate support for around 20+ years. Had a guy who showed tremendous promise come here with me for a few months following a 10 year lag. He’d been treated with psychiatric drugs the whole time he’d been inside which continiued post release. The short story is;
9 weeks after being released he was dead. I’d been away on other business for about 8 days at the time and returned to find all was pretty normal. I took him to psychiatric and parole appointments the following day, that’s when things seemed to change. 36 hours later – at about 2.00am – another family memeber heard him leaving (curfew violation) and we rose to find a suicide note on the coffee table. I alerted the authorities and was still speaking to a cop when we found him in a local park bleeding aterially from a deep wound in his forearm and with at least a dozen empty drug foils spread around him. We field dressed the wound – he was also going into shock and we kept him conscious until the ambo arrived.
This is where things got crazy. Less than 6 hours after being hospitalised, Mental Health services called and asked me to come pick him up. I said most emphatically; This man has a record of self harm, is unstable and suicidal – he needs to be in a secure unit until he’s stabilised. 4 times I repeated myself to both his forensic nurse and parole officer. They responded by placing him in respite care without any form of assessment or supervision – 2 days later he rode off on a bicycle and hung himself under a bridge. This was a week before Christmas last.
I’d been his support person the entire length of his sentence. During the time he was away he was never definitively diagnosed even though he was treated with an ever-changing drug regime. Even post-release nobody (including himself) could tell me what he was actually suffering from. The drugs of choice? – Prozac and Quetiapine
Didn’t Freud say all psychos are based on the Oedipus Syndrome?
I have to add, When did they put shrinks in grade school? When I was a kid, the school nurse couldn’t even give you aspirin! A glass of water, a blanket, and a place to rest till mom came and picked you up.
Now they tell you your kid needs adderall!!
Diagnosis and treatment, the two mainstays of modern medicine, cannot be applied to the mind. So how can disturbed people be helped? By showing them that their disturbance is not a part of them! Wilhelm Reich wrote a lot on the subject, showing that unnatural societal taboos turn individuals against their own innate life energy. Moshe Feldenkrais figured out that modern society deadens a person’s awareness of their own body, which creates a weak or sick self-image.
If you try to grow a plant in a dark room, you can’t help it to grow by giving it chemicals or pruning it or talking to it. The problem is not with the plant, but with its environment. Psychology could be a valid science if it would study the natural environment for people and treat that as its focus.
Are there any credible theories to explain the extreme cases like catatonia, etc?
Didn’t the Soviets, among others, use Psychos, er. Psychiatrists to send thousands to the gulags as mentally ill?
Isn’t that what the left is trying to do here, the most obvious case being their attempt to oust our president?
Jon, another great article on psychiatry. Even my wife thought this was excellent. However, I hope you read these comments and would be willing to give your insight on more specifics in mental diagnosis.
My wife says that psycho/sociopathy are just like the other diagnosis– without basis. However, I would like your insight on this, as from my experience it seems that most agree that psychopathy cannot be treated with meds, and even most of the psychiatric world even agrees with that. It seems to be a more definable mental illness.
Jon, I would sure like to hear your insights on this, as it is a subject that seems more and more relevant as society turns sharply toward a couple generations that don’t seem to have the capacity for logical thought or sensitive consciences.
Psychopathy would appear to be a spiritual sickness, rather than a psychological one.
Fight for the right of every parent to refuse “medication” for his/her child. Quotation marks called for. The medications are just as fraudulent as the “diseases”. What a racket! Typical of American “capitalism” (fascism), benefiting the usual perps, with the government the enforcement arm.
If a person has depression, that person is diagnosed as having depression. If a person has anxiety, that person is diagnosed as having anxiety. If a person has psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, that person is diagnosed as having some type of psychosis. If a person has catatonia, that person is diagnosed as having catatonia. There are medications that treat these symptoms, make them better. It doesn’t matter if there are lab tests for them or not. You can say that it is all bogus, but just because you say that it is all bogus, doesn’t make it so.
“there are medications that treat these symptoms, make them better”
you seem like a good-hearted person, and your trust in the industry is touching, and
would not be misplaced if psychiatry were really about helping people. on paper it is,
of course, but in reality, just as with vaccinations/doctors/big pharma, this part of the
“healing” profession has been fully corrupted to the point where only a rare doctor
operates independently from criminal medicine and refuses to administer all the
recommended poisons that are advertised constantly in the media.
most of the time, the killing side effects of these drugs heavily outweigh any small
advantage they might offer for a certain symptom. and that is too kind of a statement.
Everything you think you know or have been told is a lie.
Years ago, I was in the middle of a civil suit against a K-mart subsidiary. As is the norm in Sewer nation, the suit dragged on for years, crippled my ability to work, which in turn caused undo stress etc.
My insurance had a mental health rider, so with the prodding of my lawyer I contacted a “shrink”. I made it clear that I wouldn’t take counseling until he had verified compensation via my carrier. I gave him all the pertinent information and within a day he assured me he had contacted them and they ok’d everything.
As with lawyers, doctors etc. NEVER trust a “shrink”!
After more than a year of, “counseling”, never seeing a itemized bill, the sunuvabitch tried to coerce me into paying. Fortunately, I was “crazy” enough to become suspicious that, after a total of three years’ worth of litigation, this “professional” suddenly asked for payment within 48 hours of my lawyer being offered a settlement.
During a subsequent conversation with “Freud”, I brought up the bit about him assuring me he had contacted my insurance carrier and told me they had agreed to pay for my counseling and wanted to know why he was coming to me. The snake basically said we NEVER had a conversation regarding same and he was demanding payment! The bastard even went so far as to hint that NO ONE would believe my story, taking into account that I was, after all, being treated for a mental disorder HE HAD “DIAGNOSED”!
Being a wary individual, my mind suddenly began to wander into the “how the hell did he know I was hours from a settlement, unless there was (illegal) collusion between he and my attorney!!?
I assured the charlatan that I would make a few calls and “take care” of the matter.
Whereupon I contacted my attorney, queried him about how that prick knew we were thisclose to settlement and had he been in contact (covertly and w/o my consent), discussing details of my action and suggested I contact the authorities having jurisdiction. After I heard my “mouthpiece’s” colon slam shut, he ‘stepped up” and assured me he would take care of the “shrink”, discounted his fee substantially and we completed my settlement.
The Bolshevik snake Sigmund Freud would have rolled over in his grave – had he been privy to the raucous laughter shared with my family in my successful “duel” with, not only an unscrupulous “prick” who’s professional life was built around (ROFL) “helping his fellow man”, but my success in “hog-tying”, euchring and out-hustling my tricky “mouthpiece” as well.
The corruption/evil of our “medical establishment’s” collusion is ONLY eclipsed by the corruption/evil of our “judicial establishment”.
Perhaps this will enlighten you as to why I only refer to this nation, (and it’s benevolent concern for it’s citizens) as “sewer nation”?
Nice to read articles put out by a lucid member of same, Thanks Mr. Rappaport!
Here’s a link to a site FULLY AWARE of this Bolshevik treachery;

NEVER allow yourself to think these snakes give a tinker’s damn about your “chemical imbalance” and health!
Main Irrational Concepts
Demands (the most common): “Must”s, “should”s, “have to”s, “ought”s, and “need”s (other than physical needs like water, food, etc.). Example: “I must succeed!” rather than “It would be good to succeed at everything, but I’m human so I won’t, but I can still live very well with the inevitable failures. If I work at realistic goals, I will do some things right.” Catch word: “Musterbation” Replace with “Prefer…, but don’t have to have.”
Awfulizing: Elevating anything to even being close to 100% bad. Example: “I broke my leg. It was awful! I deserve to/must get drunk to kill the pain” instead of, “… It was painful and bothersome, but I lived and got better faster because I stayed sober.” Catch Word: “I-can’t-stand- it-itis” Replace with “Not good (or even, Bad or Very bad), but I can stand it and I will live and I will work to make my life better.”
Low Frustration Tolerance (LFT): asserting that a task is either unbearable or not worth the required discomfort when the goal is important or desirable. Example: “Doing my REBT worksheet for preventing relapses is so boring I cannot do it”, instead of, “…but I will do it because relapse is much more painful and causes lots more problems.” Catch Word: “Boring-itis” (similar to “I-can’t-stand- it-itis”). Replace with, “Boring, but bearable, doable, and [whatever] will make my life better”.
Accepting yourself, others, or life ONLY if certain achievements are made, no failures are made, it has certain things in it, and/or does not have other things in it. Example: “I failed at …(something important to me, somebody else, or society)! That makes me a total failure!” instead of, “Nobody nor anything is perfect nor must they be. I do some things good for me so I have worth to me, self-worth. I do some things good for others and society so I have worth to them. I am not perfect or a god so I will continue to fail at some things. I can still have an enjoyable life though it will always have some failures and misery. I can learn from my failures and, with work, do better, but never perfect.”
Jimmy’s modified “Serenity Prayer”:
“I will learn how and never give up trying to change the important things that I can change, develop patience to accept what I cannot change or is unimportant, even when irritating, and learn the difference.”

“The Prozac story represents a typical sequence in modern drug development. The medication resulted from an expensive and profitable process, the collaborative efforts of scientists working at the limits of the technology of their time.
Prozac stands in marked contrast to lithium. Whereas lithium is the simplest of chemicals, an element, unpatentable, its usage discovered by a solitary practicing doctor with no eye toward profit Prozac is a designed drug, sleek and high-tech. It comes from a world even most doctors do not understand. I sometimes wonder whether this “feel” of Prozac—so different from that of lithium—has had some subtle influence on its reception, as regards both the sense of wonder and the sense of discomfort at its (alien) power.
The story of Prozac is typical in another way as well. Chemists working today to develop drugs for the mind start not so much with diseased patients as with models of nerve transmission, and they tailor molecules to affect that basic process. The goal is clean drugs—drugs that are ever more potent and specific in their effects on nerve transmission. The likely result of this form of research is not medicines that correct particular illnesses but medicines that affect clusters of functions in the human brain, often both in well and ill persons.” Listening to Prozac Dr Peter Kramer
“Psychiatry is not concerned with cure. After all, if mental illness is inherited, no cure
is possible. Thus psychiatrists talk not of curing patients, but of ‘managing’ them. Psychiatry is concerned with power, the power of individual psychiatrists and the power of the State.
When the medical model of mental illness reigned supreme, the aim of psychiatry could be dearly seen and accepted as the maintenance of the status quo. Mad people who threatened the status quo were confined and subdued. People who failed to accept or to fulfil the roles that society decreed for them – a docile wife and mother, a hard-working man, an obedient child – could, by the judicious application of drugs and ECT, be restored to the required role or else locked away from society’s sight. When psychotherapy loomed on the horizon of British psychiatry, British psychiatrists felt threatened. Psychotherapy can (but does not always) offer patients a choice.
The harbingers of psychotherapy in Britain in the early seventies were chiefly clinical psychologists. These were a heterogeneous bunch, in the psychiatrists’ eyes, undisciplined, unreliable and untidy. The aim of the different kinds of psychotherapy these psychologists practised was to encourage their patients to enjoy life and make their own decisions. It was no wonder that psychiatrists preferred the psychologists who espoused behaviour therapy, a technique well fitted for promoting obedience and conformity.
At first the Royal College of Psychiatrists treated psychotherapists in the same way as they treat all charlatans and parvenus – by scorning and ignoring them. Gradually it dawned on the Royal College that the clinical psychologists in the NHS were gaining power and prestige because they were doing all sorts of putatively curative things which psychiatrists could not do. So, following the old principle of ‘If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,’ many psychiatrists became psychotherapists.
Of course, many psychiatrists chose to study psychotherapy because they were wise and caring people and because they could see that the unquestioning application of the medical model of mental illness to the multifarious problems of life creates more problems than it solves.”–Against Therapy Forward Dorothy Rowe
“Ironically, technological advances in medicine, combined with the conflation of the concepts of disease and patient role, facilitate not only medicalization but also confusion between discovering diseases and creating diagnoses. As a result, when a behavior categorized as a disease is “declassified”—as happened with homosexuality—journalists, science writers, and the public are easily persuaded by the stakeholders in medicalization that demedicalization is also a product of scientific progress and moral enlightenment, and not the product of a power struggle between stigmatizers and stigmatized.
Neither medicalization nor demedicalization is a new phenomenon. Formerly, people spoke about imaginary diseases and persons who pretended to be ill. Molière (1622–1673), the great satirist of malingerers and of the quacks whose harmful ministrations they invite, titled one of his plays The Imaginary Invalid (Le malade imaginaire).
Although medicalization encompasses much more than psychiatry, we must be clear about one thing: Psychiatry is medicalization through and through. Whatever aspect of psychiatry psychiatrists claim is not medicalization can only be such if it deals with proven diseases of the central nervous system, which belong to neurology, not psychiatry. (Psychoanalysis and other forms of psychotherapy, qua medical practices, are of course also instances of medicalization.)”–The Freeman Vol. 57/Issue 8 Dr Thomas Szasz
The Psycho professions have their root in female “hysteria.” Its history is dark, sordid, degrading, replete with physical and spiritual mutilation, and an outgrowth of superstition and inquisition. As such it is the institutionalizing of gynocentrism. It started as witch-doctoring of women and continues at the core to revolve around female issues and propensity.
Today, a person cannot enter into “talk therapy” without being subjected to the prevailing Feminist memes. No man can enter into a “counseling contract” and be told to engage in an activity as remediation (as if even that would resolve any social conflict). What they get is talk, and when talk doesn’t work, drugs. What gender is the largest consumer/producer of talk and patent “cures?” Women want to be like men, but also want men to be like women.
Thanks for your comment on historical roots…
Female hysteria:
“Women considered to have had it exhibited a wide array of symptoms, including faintness, nervousness, sexual desire, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in the abdomen, shortness of breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, and a ‘tendency to cause trouble’.”
^^^ Wow. Sounds like symptoms largely caused as a result of poor/mal-nutrician and/or toxins in the water and/or hormonal changes due to aging under poor/mal-nutrician conditions.

We mustn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, there is a lot of fraud in the industry but we all know someone who is living a functional life by taking certain prescription medications. I have known Epileptics who were able to hold down jobs only because of anti-seizure medication. I have also known people diagnosed with Bipolar or Psychotic conditions who were also able to control their conditions somewhat and hold down jobs. The only alternative to drugs for these people would be institutionalization or to fend for themselves and thus be an enormous burden on society. Would Mr. Rappoport suggest that these people be taken off these drugs? Sure Pharmaceutical drugs are over-prescribed, but in many cases, they have also helped people with extreme conditions too.
Your baby with the bathwater defense assumes that bipolar and other conditions are innate to the individual and can only be helped through some kind of treatment. We can’t go on ignoring the kind of environment we expect people the thrive in – conditioning the best parts of their humanity out of them in school, so they can function as obedient and docile employees for the corporations that control the schools for their benefit. We have to stop pretending that this setup is normal – it’s not. If you read Gatto’s Underground History of American Education, your whole worldview will change, and you will understand why there are so many people who simply can’t be well-adjusted. We live in a society that is engineered to produce people who can’t create, can’t make trouble against the powerful, can’t fully express their potential. If we restored liberty for all ages, and stopped trying to make people function like human resources, the word “bipolar” and other handy classifications for those who can’t adjust to our alien environment would disappear.
Bravo!….now time for your meds. That’s it, there’s a good lad. Please ignore that person behind the curtain. Repeat mantra: “Must comply, resistance is futile”.
Yes, it is a joke,to me. “My dinner with Andre” film comes to mind where Andre says we build cities as our prisons & give the keys to our “guardians’.
Where I live we have the remains of so-called “wild life” sandwiched between “normal” urbanity. I say we are the wild ones & they the normal. But that’s just me.
I do appreciate your comment & that’s the truth, seriously.
Excellent!
I know who to spell psychiatry. and I bet y’all thought I was dumb. but just watch me spell:
g-o-v-e-r-n-m-e-n-t. See! I only look stupid. I guts me at least 6 years of edjumacation. I should have been a rocket scientist, don’ cha think?
I am the epitome of a victim in your article. I was hospitalised after I was attacked at a concrete ready-mix plant I worked at. I was nearly killed and ended up with a severe case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which can bee seen in a part of the brain with a CT Scan and blood tests for the hormone imbalance as a result. People who have experienced a severe emotional trauma have this brain activity and hormone markers.
The ready-mix plant sold concrete that was a complete fraud and people died. It was sold as a “new” product when really it was re-mixed, re-sold and recycled old ready-mix. Dozens of hi-rise 30 story apartment towers are built with the crap in a earthquake belt.
The psychiatrist diagnosed me with schizoaffective disorder to cover up the fraud and discredit me.There are no tests for it like PTSD.
It is the largest concrete fraud in North American history in Vancouver Canada.
Dr. Paul Eric Termansen the psychiatrist has since been barred from practising medicine not for mal-practise but for stealing the life savings of an 80 year old. The past three Prime Ministers of Canada knew about it and covered it up. So have the last 4 leaders of British Columbia using dozens of doctors and nurses to attack me
This one letter, just this one letter is the reason why they have tried so hard, ridiculously hard, over-the-top hard to kill me here in Canada. Obviously and cut-and-dry. Both here, the Sunshine Coast and in Burnaby This one letter, just this one letter is the reason they have tried so hard, ridiculously hard, over-the-top hard to kill me.
[…]
Can you please post the letter you are referring to?
Or is that covered in the story of the used readymix?
Did someone attempt a staged accident or were you physically attacked to ensure that you remained shtum regarding the use of dodgy concrete?
Thanks.
Sorry prof605. I work on my case 24/7/365 and I missed your post. I am all over the internet all day every day.
It turns out real estate developers are our society’s dirty little secret. It goes as far back as Canada’s Confederation and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Their “Right of Way” constitutes an unimaginable number of acres, on both sides.
The outcomes of all our elections since have been completely 100% dictated by the invisible hand of real estate developers.
To answer your question, the attack was in the works for about 4 years. It was planned to silence me. It was re-mixed, rejected, old mixed with new, and regurgitated and re-sold it was a totally and utterly a fraud because it was mis-represented under Canada’s weights and measures laws.
People didn’t get anything near what they had paid for. The owners made 100’s of millions of dollars over 40 years.
I am a Hollywood trained writer who worked writing in the financial and stock market sector. I am published. Millions and millions of people have read my work. I am also a highly trained actor and have worked in film and used it to defend myself and turn around and launch a massive tsunami of a counter attack, the size of which is almost beyond imagination.
How about this Rappoport ? Do they have another “treatment” model waiting in the wings ? The kind of technology that “TI’s” – Targeted Individuals – report being subjected to. In fact psychiatry is by definition the targeting of an individual.
“Seth Farber, Ph.D: The Psychiatric Metanarrative, Targeted Individuals, and the Deep State: A Response to The New York Times” – https://everydayconcerned.net/2016/12/12/seth-farber-ph-d-the-psychiatric-metanarrative-targeted-individuals-and-the-deep-state-a-response-to-the-new-york-times/
BTW. I was a little sceptical of Farber as he references Chomsky on his website – http://www.sethhfarber.com/ – A character I usually categorise as a Left wing Moonbat. However the article above is excellent so I’m not willing to discount Farber yet. Not everyone in the Left or even Socialist is bad but they are few and far between in my experience.
Sandy Hook was FAKE. You should not refer to it in your article as a “mass shooting”. That’s MSM talk. Otherwise, awesome article.

How Bankrupt The “Science” of Psychiatry Really Is
and VIDEO: Big Pharma – Truth About Vaccines 7-Day Docu Series
https://reclaimourrepublic.wordpress.com/2018/01/21/video-how-bankrupt-the-science-of-psychiatry-really-is-and-big-pharma-truth-about-vaccines-7-day-docu-series/
Have personal experience of this. In November 2014, I was diagnosed ‘medium to severe depression’ and it has been a struggle since. (I’m living in Sweden)
Have tried three different anti depressive drugs with the same outcome. After 4-8 weeks of usage of each drug, I developed a severe sleep disorder and following [mild] depression as a result. Had to beg everytime, to get something that actually works, but no. By coincident, I met a Brittish psychiatrist on my vacation about a year ago and he helped me to some extent and recommended a specific drug that lacks the side effects I’d to fight. Back home, I mentioned this and was told by a ‘specialist’, that drug didn’t exist in Sweden. That was a genuine lie, as I already knew that one of the pharmacies in Sweden had this on their ‘web shop’. The ‘specialist’ tried a couple of small lies, finally realizing that I was well prepared for the session and gave up saying: “The drug is considered as final resort, so no can do …“. At that point, I got tired of fighting for the right of decent health care, which I already payed for through taxes …
It is now 2.5 month since I took the last pill and first now, my sleep has been getting into order (From 1-3 hours of sleep per night in one hour cycles, to one single cycle of 6-7 hour continues sleep at best, but not every night.)
According to what the health care system do, not what they say, today I’m considered as a difficult patient and don’t get any help … I’m lucky having an understanding boss at work and the possibility to have flexible work hours (despite working in the production industry), otherwise …
I watched Adam Curtis’ 4 part documentary The Century of the Self and there is a very interesting section in there about a famous experiment whereby several people presented themselves to different mental health institutes all around the US on the same day. They were allowed to tell only 1 lie which was (I am hearing a voice in my head and it says one word which is “thud”). After that they were to tell the truth about themselves and their lives. Prior to the experiment all had been certified sane and well. Every single institution admitted them and most were diagnosed as bipolar but one was diagnosed as Schizophrenic. The leader of the experiment was kept for 2 months! Upon his release he made his experiment and findings public and there was an outcry from the psychiatric industry that it wasn’t a fair test and was trickery etc. They invited him to redo the experiment at his leisure within 2 months. After 2 months the psychiatric industry confirmed that they had discovered 49 “plants”. The experiment leader and founder (David Rosenhan) then revealed he hadn’t repeated the experiment at all!
After this there was a quick uptake of the use of machines to sort and organise patients symptoms and churn out corresponding diagnosis thus fatigue + bouts of sadness + sleep problems = depression. Rather than the industry examine itself, it just outsourced the diagnosis to cover any human blame and keep the industry intact.
So reading this article 4 months after watching Curtis’ documentary is an excellent consolidation of facts. Thanks Jon, very much enjoyed the read and grateful for your thorough research skills.
Psychopathy is ligit. Their profile has been in print for thousands of years. Dr. Hare just scrapes the surface but is pinpoint accurate.
Also, psychology is ligit – for thousands of years it was called witchcraft/witchery, for manipulation and trickery of the host by a parasite – it’s still the same, tricks by parasites
Nothing new under the sun, just repackaged.
Dr. Daniel Amen does SPECT imaging that does diagnose mental disorders including anxiety, depression, ADD, brain damage caused by drugs and others. You can see him on youtube. He does a Ted talk on what he has learned from these brain scans. He promotes a number of treatment strategies including exercise, nutrition, stress management, and psychiatric medications.
Thank you for the article that exposes the truth about psychiatric drugs and psychiatry. In 1993 legislation was passed in Texas ban shot treatment for children 16 and under and informed consent. Dianna Loper Burton Texas to pass that legislation, with the help of many people. She believes that shock treatment and drugs or a crime against the spirit and a rape of the Soul! You can find out more, by Googling Dianna Loper Ect, keep up the good work!
Fraud said he cured 13 women of hysteria in 1897. Lie #1. In 1898 he said 18 women were cured of hysteria. Lie #2. Fact was they ran out of money or gave up on the bullshit for money. Foundation of psychoanalysis was based on lies.
Holistic veterinarians are winding up DEAD.
OK so what is the solution to the epidemic of schizophrenia? Why do I know many people suffering? Where are the scientists? Doctors are practitioners, all human life has value…this society is going in the wrong direction. There is 0 help out there.
