TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13. There is taking a drug because you want the experience, and there is taking a drug because you believe you are ill in the head, and your imagination is slurry and slow and without daring.

ADD: Out here in no-no land, where the doctors rule, we are being treated to a desperate feast of decay, the meat of the brain rotting on the banquet table. “It’s good for you, take it.”

ADD: Everybody wants in on a little of the spurious action of being a doctor, and every time you reach for the pill bottle you think you’re closing in on that elegant status. “I am the Man for this moment as I open the bottle and shake the pills out and give myself a pill. I understand the working of the mysterious brain just a frank little bit.”

ADD: Priesthood by implication. A moment or two of it. It’s quite a fantastic joke. Everybody wants to rule the world. You want a surface of that white coat reality dust rubbing off on you. “Give it to me.”

ADD: Now both avaricious and dull political parties support the delusion of the Treatment so sedate it stands in for any other kind of reality. In their subconscious landscape they see no other solution. Medicate everything that moves. Establish a new world order of illness perfect in its definition, perfect in its treatment. Then we will have an authority where none other exists. It is the only possible authority left, seeing as we’ve left all the others behind baking in the dust.

ADD: Now we even have a definition of death: incomplete treatment. We can accept that. We can get with that. We can slow everything down to a pill crawl. Life as the precise Nazi measure of white dust doing everything but creating.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13. How does the medical cartel avoid exposure of the toxicity of its drugs? By refusing to rely on doctors’ or patients’ reports whenever possible.

ADD: By saying that these reports are unreliable, by saying that short-term studies are a better way to gauge a drug.

ADD: Understand this strategy. When Dr. Andrew Wakefield in England made the connection between the MMR vaccine and autism, he did so by actually listening to mothers who told him their babies had changed drastically, for the worse, soon after the shot was administered.

ADD: Others doctors would have said, “These reports from parents are all wrong because we know the vaccine is safe.”

ADD: One doctor’s survey, which leaked through the protective cartel barrier, appeared in Lancet on January 18, 1997. Dr. Robert Bourguignon, a Belgium MD, sent out letters to 500 Belgium docs asking for their experience using Prozac with patients.

ADD: 11 out of 500 answered that they had witnessed serious problems. The patient adverse effects included “a feeling of going to die,” “great nervousness,” panic attacks, “paranoid psychosis,” aggressiveness, “barely controllable suicide attempts,” and convulsions. The numbers of adverse reactions were completely unacceptable for a licensed drug.

ADD: Of course, Eli Lilly, the maker of Prozac, opposed these unpleasant findings. Which were too real, too direct, too honest, too shorn of scientific babble. The reports were the unvarnished truth. Which is yet another reason drug companies want to avoid actual patient stories. To believe them is to give up the high ground, from which the med pro can say, “These patients are all crazy, they can’t accurately convey their experiences, and their doctors aren’t much better (unless they agree the drug in question is safe).”

ADD: Now listen. If we had to rely on official studies of the effects of the MMR vaccine, we would never know that many, many children’s lives have been destroyed by it. Never. Know.

ADD: To listen to patients is to discover the massive poisoning across the board by medical drugs.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13. Over the weekend, I gave a talk to an audience in Colorado. After the talk, a member of the audience came up to me and said, “You believe that far too many medical drugs are being given to people. But these people are diagnosed with illnesses, and the drugs are to treat them.”

ADD: It’s the most succinct statement of the current med mind control operation I’ve heard in some time.

ADD: To break through that mind control, one has to see that diseases are being invented by the truckload, to justify the drugs.

ADD: I strongly suggest, for starters, that you go to a library and browse the DSM-IV, which is the psychiatric Bible (cookbook) of current mental illnesses. In a few hours, you will see that these so-called diseases or disorders are welded together from a list of disparate symptoms or behaviors, none of which imply organic illness.

ADD: Making someone feel he has an illness makes that person feel less free, less in control of his life. That is an intentional strategy, not only devised to sell debilitating drugs, but to reduce the inner sense of freedom. It is the abolition of the Bill of Rights by non-political means.

ADD: It’s like an added tax on life itself.

ADD: Over the last 20 years, I have seen many people reject a diagnosis of an invented disease, and in every such case, the person emerged with a new sense of his own freedom. It’s an interesting fact.

ADD: As I have written before, the aim of the medical cartel is to establish planet Earth as a gigantic hospital, where people bow down to the authority of doctors who are handing out diagnoses like candy. Pity, sympathy, “understanding”–these are the medical attitudes which make people believe they are in good hands. Fraudulent medicine becomes, in effect, a substitute for love. The diagnosis of a disease becomes a badge of prestige for many millions of people: “Oh yes, my doctor said I have…”

ADD: Looking for love in all the wrong places. At some level of the psyche, people yearn for order. For a system that will relieve them of the need to strike out on their own self-created adventure. The current medical framework is just such an expanding system. There is a deep need in people to find someone to trust. Who better than the doctor?

ADD: Projecting that trust in doctors, people find they initially feel better. They feel enhanced in a way, because they are creating that trust, and it gives them a larger emotion, an emotion they long for. An emotion they find lacking in every day life.

ADD: I watched my father use that trust to blind himself to non-mainstream health options. He simply couldn’t betray that trust he had created to turn away from the useless advice of his own doctor. So he went for the diagnosis and the drugs and the estimates of his beloved physician. It was a love affair, and it led him down the garden path to his own slow decline.

ADD: At one point, I had an acrimonious exchange of letters with that doctor. I asked him to suggest some real options that might restore my father’s health, aside from the drugs which would only debilitate him further. The doctor went into a towering arrogant rage, and asked how I could possibly question his program when he had done so much good for my father.

ADD: I answered, “I question what you have done because I know what these drugs do. I know you are holding yourself back from admitting that there are other solutions. You say that if alternative methods had any validity, they would have been tested at major universities. You and I both know this is not true. Mainstream medicine has a vested interest in keeping workable natural methods out of the university research arena. So don’t expect me to react like an ignorant person.”

ADD: That was the end of the correspondence. My father, to the end, believed he was being treated by a saint in a white coat. I knew better, and I know better.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13. On my recent trip, someone handed me a copy of a full-page ad that ran in USA Today on July 7, 2000. It was paid for by We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education.

ADD: The ad charged that the 16th Amendment, which established the income tax in 1913, was never really ratified. This was not an off-the-cuff pronouncement. It was based on laborious research.

ADD: In fact, as the ad indicates, a court case was filed on this matter in 1986. US vs. Stahl, 792 F2D 1438. The court’s ruling is quite an incredible cop-out: “[Defendant] Stahl’s claim that ratification of the 16th Amendment was fraudulently certified constitutes a political question…we could not undertake independent resolution of this issue without expressing lack of respect due coordinate branches of government…”

ADD: Who besides a court could possibly rule on such a matter? In fact, various Congressmen have refused to consider this question of fraudulence, saying that the US Supreme Court would have to be the ultimate arbiter. It’s called passing the buck. Literally.

ADD: Back and forth.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13. The Ottawa Citizen is reporting massive problems in Canada stemming from genetically modified (GM) canola plants. These GM plants have cross-bred with non-GM canola plants to form “superweeds” that are showing up in wheat fields and “and other areas where farmers don’t want them…”

ADD: Experts at the Royal Society of Canada are fuming. They are saying that careful farming methods are clearly not enough to prevent this random spreading of GM plants into the ecological landscape.

ADD: The result? Down the line it is obvious we will see significant changes in nature. Inserting genes in plants to increase their strength is not a simple matter. The genes cannot be stopped from drifting. The biotech companies who are designing these food plants are, of course, saying there is no problem…but we are witnessing an across-the-board reshaping of plant life on the planet.
