Presented Without Comment, Well, Almost

     Below is a blog post by Jon Rappoport, entitled: “Psychiatrists Drugging Children for ‘Social Justice'”

     And here is the original article it was based on from the New York Times propaganda machine: “Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help in School”

     How do people fall for this? You want to try to give the masses some credit but I guess being indifferent (if not altogether brainwashed) really is an epidemic, and to be fair, I think there is a good rerun of “Chloe and Lamar” tonight, followed by the “Teen Mom” season finale, so def can’t miss that.

     Can anyone tell me how it is that Dr. Anderson has a license to practice medicine? Oh whoops, that’s right, he’s not a real doctor; he’s a psychiatrist ;-)

     As if staying focused and “scoring well” in mindless government public schools will help anybody do anything, let alone that you are essentially drugging kids with speed (otherwise known as synthetic cocaine), which not only destroys their young, vulnerable brains and their bodies, but may lead to long-term Tardive Dyskinesia, especially when supplemented with any number of anti-psychotics like Seroquel.

     Maybe it’s just me, but it might be difficult to land a job someday when you can’t control the rapid tongue protrusions in your interview… oh, and try not to strangle your new boss should you suffer some kind of psychotic break.

     So I think focusing in public school is gonna be the least of your kid’s problems once his regimen of synthetic crack begins. Folks, please do yourself a favor and be wary of terms like “social justice”.

There Is No Mystery

     The mystery of addiction is… there is no mystery.

     Look, everybody likes to feel good, everybody likes to feel pleasure and relief, but most people eventually grow up and become adults. Addicts do not. They remain in very juvenile, childlike fantasy land where real life and real problems don’t exist, where the only concern is what kind of ice cream to choose, what video game to play, who said what and which friends are coming to the sleepover.

     When you grow up, I’ll admit, it is sort if heartbreaking. The bubble of ignorance and innocence goes up in smoke as a new reality and new set of (real) problems begin to dominate your consciousness, such as figuring out who you are and what you are going to do.

     Adults must find a way to compete, survive, make a living, support others, pay ever-increasing taxes and obey ever-expanding laws. Adults must take care of themselves when they get sick, injured or diseased. Adults must find doctors, make appointments and stay motivated to follow through with treatment. Adults must take care of their emotional and spiritual well-being through exercise, athletics, prayer, meditation, intellectual stimulation, fun, friendships and intimate relationships. Adults must tend to others and project some sense of positivity in the world. Adults must suffer fear, insecurity, pain, heartache and loss, and walk through it all for no other reason than they are human and it’s just the right thing to do.

     So addicts and alcoholics have but one, simple problem: LIFE. Our problem is that we don’t want to confront the reality of adult human life… so we continue drinking and drugging until we become full blown addicts. Our problem is a stubborn refusal to grow up and live life on life’s terms. Therefore, the process of recovering is simply the process of growing up, adjusting to adult life and responsibility, becoming independent and taking care of ourselves… all on our own.

     Just like we must eventually exit the womb lest we die, we must exit the bubble of juvenile fantasy. We must step outside of lala land, otherwise known as one’s comfort zone. Most people grow up without becoming addicts. Most people stop sucking their thumbs at some point, if they ever did to begin with. Addicts do not. So when it becomes unacceptable to continue sucking one’s thumb into adulthood, we just become drug addicts instead and start sucking on the bottle, the pipe, the needle and the butts. But, um, guess what? 

     No one said life was easy. Growing up is hard, but a) it’s a predicament you can’t get out of, and b) it’s supposed to be hard. So how about we employ the oldest and wisest solution in the book? Face life. Grow up. Get over it. Life is uncomfortable sometimes.

     And yes, physically you are now screwed. You have officially broken your body and cannot ever safely drink or use drugs again, but hey, that’s nobody’s fault but your own… is it not?

How to Cripple an Addict

     There is a solution… it’s just that most addicts don’t want to do any work, and there is no solution without work. Sadly, as a society, we are becoming programmed to reward and even glorify failure and dependency while demonizing hard work, success, independence and free thought/speech.

*  

      When you ply an addict with more drugs, when you validate an addict in therapy, and when you subsidize an addict with government programs (aka your money), you are essentially telling them that they are too weak, sick and stupid to truly get better and recover, and to make things worse, you are doing it under the guise of compassion, under the guise of science and the disease model.

     What you must understand is that this new “compassionate” approach only further cripples addicts and relegates them as weak, diseased failures. So while some think that this blog is harsh or negative or unproductive, you’ve got it all backwards. Honesty and service restore a man’s soul and give him real strength. What you think is strengthening and helping addicts/alcoholics is in fact doing quite the opposite.

     This new age thinking on addiction is really just a microcosm of an entire shift in our culture, and a dangerous one at that. As a society, we are shifting from a free, prosperous and democratic republic to more of a socialist-collectivist police state that seeks to limit freedom, limit wealth, and convince you that the never-ending expansion of government has any purpose beyond government officials and employees retaining power at all costs and stuffing their pockets with as much of your money as humanly possible.

     The worst propaganda is that which convinces you that freedom and prosperity are evil while control, impoverishment, unemployment, debt and government are good. If you think about it, it’s very clever. Rally everyone around a host of supposedly “righteous” causes when in reality what you are doing is screwing the living shit out of them. Sadly, the masses are often blind and gullible sheep that will do anything and believe anything. Most people will let you shear them on a daily basis and even thank you for it in the name of some fraudulent cause. Problem, Reaction, Solution. Works every time. 

     At any rate, the common thinking out there is that addicts and alcoholics are doomed. The best anyone can hope for is to get us off of our drug of choice and desperately substitute it with methadone, suboxone, vivitrol, naltrexone, seroquel, and some basket of psychotropics… and let’s give them a bag of weed, too, because that’s not really a drug and it’s, like, the healing of the nations bro. Let’s also do some therapy and role play so we can whine about mommy and daddy and fabricate some reasons (otherwise know as excuses), and then follow it all up with some quack science just to make sure we can abscond ourselves from any and all responsibility whatsoever. The idea is to blame anything but ourselves.

     You see, when we as addicts do this, and when the status quo now promotes the notion that our destructive behavior, personal failure and “incomprehensible demoralization” is nothing more than an involuntary symptom of a blameless disease, then yes, we are doomed. When you tell addicts and alcoholics that it’s not their fault, when you put your arms around them and validate their present construction of self, when you appease them with more mind-numbing drugs after telling them they are basically too weak to truly recover, you are indeed dooming them.

     Even though it is sold and made to sound in the exact opposite way, the current thinking on addiction doesn’t give addicts and alcoholics any credit, nor does it assume we can ever develop or reclaim our character or personal strength. Bullshit. Each and every one of us can recover completely and never think about drugs and alcohol ever again, but we have now brainwashed mainstream addiction & recovery from understanding the true nature of addiction and we have ripped the teeth right out of recovery.

     So yes, we are doomed, but that is because the establishment has managed to convince us that we are incapable and somehow justified in using, drinking, lying, stealing and living lives based on pathological self-absorption and the compulsion to seek comfort and dopamine 24/7. Bullshit. The addiction activist types fall for it and scream about this nonsense on their blogs. There is no constitutional and organic need for opiates, nor any brain disease that causes us to become addicts. Addiction is but a temporary state of ‘acquired’ powerlessness until the addict finds some guts to face life. Yes, physically we respond differently to drugs and alcohol, but that is irrelevant if we simply do the work and regain our willpower.

     And by the way, becoming physically dependent on something isn’t novel to addicts and alcoholics. Anybody in the world can become physically dependent on a substance.

P.S. Brady exonerated! Now, you see, this is what happens when you are really good at something. People seethe with anger and envy and try to cut you down, even if they have to smear you with a bunch of bullshit to do so. But Brady, Belichick and the Pats are only guilty of one thing: winning. More specifically, beating the crap out of other teams ;-)
