Municipal Enquirer
Now, though my fellow psychiatrized will not get the same thing out of this page as the local yokels do, (since a friend in Germany or Australia etc. does not know any of these people), the locals DO know them, even without names and locations. I am sure they will find it more interesting when they hear themselves being mentioned and all the acting out they do regarding me from MY point of view, which they still seem to believe is mysteriously ‘hidden’ from me.
So this is now going to be a sort of Municipal Enquirer type blog page with a stand-up comedy sort of attitude to it. This is how I am going to mock and ridicule the mocking and ridiculing “normies” in  a full circle kind of way. (not that they do that of course!)

Now remember readers; if you are a local and ‘think’ I am ‘talking about you’, even though I did not actually ‘say your name’, don’t make the mistake of ‘whining and complaining’ about it like us whack jobs do, as you too may be getting some ‘help’ with your personality disorders just like we have. There are four possible ‘symptoms’ right in the above statement so stay sharp and keep a wary eye open for the “help.” Your own diagnosis is just a symptom or two away so be very cautious about what you say in public or an A.C.T. team member may be in your home assessing the crap out of you and your life, as it is perceived by your neighbours or perhaps the sales associate at the dollar store, before you ever know what hit you.

I Recommend 

I recommend for psych students (and others) a few books available at our local public library. These are:

The Cure of Folly

and Daggers of the Mind: Psychiatry and the Myth of Mental Disease

by Gordon Warme, M.D.

I include these NOT because I agree with every word and in fact, I find much of this disturbing, but because they offer some insights into how the minds of psychiatrists have been trained to work.

Also available locally are:

Toxic Psychiatry By Peter Breggin, M.D.

Agnes's Jacket By Professor Gail Hornstein
and
A Schizophrenia Breakthough by Al Siebert, PhD. Who was psychiatrized while TRAINING in psychiatry. 

I hope that these will help to get you to questioning and rethinking the psychiatric status quo.

Being Told I Must Not Speak 

I intend to practice here what I am told is my right in a democratic country:
 The right to free speech.

If any profession within my country can arbitrarily remove my legal right to do so, after investing ten minutes of time in listening to me, even though I have broken no laws, and threatened no one, with anything other than 'speech,' then there is something wrong with this system.

If saying there is something wrong with the system, then 'proves' the system is right to keep me from talking, what we have is a system that protects and defends itself, against any dissenting opinion, and this is the stuff of which fascism is made.

If anyone can do this because they don't like what I SAY, then there is no free speech allowed, despite the idealistic claim to the contrary. When a universal right is a 'right' ONLY if I am classified as one of 'us' rather than one of 'them,' then there is no 'right' and there is only an illusion. Paradoxically, it is then MORE important than ever to exercise this right to speak out, against unquestioned power and control, before my 'right' to speak against it disappears completely. The 'rights' we fail to protect and defend are the rights we lose.

The First Delusion

The I/thou splitting of experience.

The first delusion  and it is an increasingly common one, is that one is not an equal participant in life but rather an ‘objective observer’ of ‘others.’

Of course if the psychiatrized even suggest such a thing as ‘objective observation’ of others is true for them, they get an increase in medication too reduce their grandiosity.

Psychiatrists, on the other hand, are actually trained to adopt and embrace this attitude and belief right away along with emotional detachment and reductionism. We refer to the skewed results of this as ‘the clinical gaze.’

Once this I/thou splitting is accepted and takes psychological hold of those employing it, those under it’s spell fail to see, hear or understand any longer that , “That which you are observing is also observing you.”

We have always been there. Where have YOU been ‘taken’ so that you could not see us or hear us right in front of you?

Just Like Diabetes

So how many diabetics would you police services say you have to pick up and take to the emergency rooms every year? Do you have to cuff, or taser, a lot of these people always whining and complaining about their high blood sugar and/or insulin overdoses? You would think they would be grateful wouldn’t you, about all the help they are getting?

Third Party Assessments

Why would people, including some we don’t know, who don’t know us, talk about us disparagingly, right in front of us like we aren’t really there? 

Well the belief from the ‘normal’ others’ perspective seems to go something like this: 

It is OK if we talk about her right in front of her because she is stupid and/or crazy and will not understand what we are talking about anyway. At times, oblivious to their own irrationality, they even SAY that while I am standing there looking at them. 

We whack jobs often think they are doing it on purpose because we don’t believe it is possible for people to be so stupid as to be that unaware of themselves, or us. 

I just got a little fridge magnet to remind me of this groupthink routine which says, 

 “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” 

I will try to lower my expectations so that I will not make that mistake again.

Self Promotion

One cannot appeal to the conscience of a sociopath as this is not what motivates him/her. 

What motivates him/her is total self interest and all s/he does and says is with that end in mind. Therefore, the only way to stop one acting out for his/her own gain is to make it more personally beneficial to him/her to do so,  than to continue along in his/her ‘game.’ 

The same sort of thing applies to witnesses. If it costs them MORE to conceal the truth than it does to tell it, they will tend to co-operate out of self interest, not guilt or ethics, but out of the  same things which motivated many of them to conceal the truth in the first place. It is all about them.
