World Net Daily has just published an excellent article entitled MANIA The shocking link between psychiatric drugs, suicide, violence and mass murder. Of course, this is nothing new to CCHR, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. In it they detail some of the many instances of psychiatric drugs causing homicidal ideation, particularly mentioning Effexor and […]

3 Trillion Barrels of Oil
This is an interesting article about oil reserves [link died] and fossil fuel dependency. The gist of it is that if we can get out of our own way, we have plenty of oil to carry us through to a post-petrol economy. But we can’t back away from nuclear power plants if we plan to […]
Psychiatric abuse – follow the money back to the drug companies
Even the New York Times gets it right occasionally. Some enterprising reporter there has not yet received their indoctrination that psychiatrists can do no wrong. Here’s an article about Drug company money paid to psychiatrists. The gist is that psychiatrists who take the most money from drug companies making antipsychotic drugs are the ones that […]
LRH House on Camelback
The house where L. Ron Hubbard lived in Phoenix, Arizona in 1952 has been restored to the way it looked then, including many of the original decorations, furniture, carpets, drapes and so on. It is (from what I’ve heard from people who visited it) like stepping into a time machine to the early 1950s. 1952 […]
Another psychiatrist who broke ranks…
David Kaiser, MD, (a psychiatrist) wrote an article in 1996 that makes the claim that “psychiatry has quite literally lost its mind”. Here’s the text of his article about biologic psychiatry and the problems with it. This practicing psychiatrist comes right out and says the same thing that CCHR has been saying for some time: […]
Beautiful day….
I couldn’t stand sitting at the computer through another beautiful afternoon, so Marie and I headed out for a walk. These were some of the photos I took as I hiked and she rode her horse (“Heavy”) up the hill behind our house to the lookout:Foxglove View Stonecrop-Covered Rock Face Stonecrop Flowers Sword Ferns All […]
Hippocrites’ Oath
Yes, I KNOW that’s mis-spelled. This cartoon from M.E. Cohen says it pretty well: [image link died]
Doomsday Called Off
This video from CBCNewsWorld called “Global Warming Doomsday Called Off” held my attention for its entire 44 minutes. It’s posted there on utube in its entirety, minus only commercials. If you want to know what all those crazy disbelieving skeptics are using for data–those crackpots who don’t share a belief in the near-universal “let’s blame […]
L. Ron Hubbard, the “science fiction writer”
L. Ron Hubbard wrote a lot of books. I have several bookshelves groaning under the weight of his books, and I re-read them at least once a decade, as I do C.J. Cherryh, Iain M. Banks, Robert Silverberg, and Vernor Vinge. From time to time I’ve seen blog postings from people who should know better, […]
Optimism is under-rated
I get a weekly email from “Cecile”, called the Optimism Newsletter. It is unfailingly optimistic and I find myself looking forward to it every Friday after the weekly barrage of bad news from regular news sources. That and Randy Casingham’s “This is True” newsletter (in which Randy re-phrases news stories, adding his own hysterically funny […]
