Drugging Normal Childhood Behaviors Chemical Castration of Boys Editor's Note - I've read this article before, and while not sexual, it's a pretty good read. --Liberation Journal 19/5/5001 Children naturally have a short attention span in comparison to adults, that is one of the normal characteristics that define a child. Kids are conditioned to have a short attention spans in this fast paced culture, in fact adults are so conditioned also. Many people, from teachers to journalists, to television programmers have remarked how difficult it is to hold people's attention. That's why news stories are shortened to snippets of emotionally charges images and opinions. Commentary on important issues has to be chopped into 30 second sound bites to get on the news. TV programmers and advertisers know that they have just a few seconds to grab the viewer's attention. And this is in dealing with adults as well as children. This culture is catering to child-like impatience to the point of treating adults like children. But in dealing with children, who normally have short attention spans, adults who are lacking the patience and ability to reach children and hold their attention are resorting to drugging children into despondency. Should adults who are conditioned to have short attention spans be drugged to get them to sit still and watch one TV channel? After all, if adults unwilling to invest the time required to inspire children and motivate them to learn and to become interested in constructive projects, then those who have no regard for the wellbeing of children are more likely to drug kids into compliance. The prolific use or Ritalin may therefor be the result of the attention deficit of adults in relating to children. A country that forces parents to drug their healthy children in order to control behavior has reached a level of evil that now justifies any action to destroy it. The epidemic of normal childhood behavior is now being treated with drugs. Ritalin use has increased by 700% in the last decade. According to a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association, from 1991 to 1995 the use of Ritalin among U.S. preschoolers increased 150% and antidepressants like Prozac went up more than 200%. During 1995, 60% of the kids on the drugs were age 4, 30% were age 3 and 10% were 2-year-olds. Because the "symptoms" of ADD is a description of normal boyhood behaviors, Ritalin is being prescribed about 95% of the time to boys. In some communities, Ritalin use among boys is as high as one in five. As many as 3.8 million schoolchildren are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. At least 2 million take Ritalin, a stimulant, for symptoms such as inattentiveness, impulsivity and sometimes hyperactivity. Many others are treated with different drugs. "Giggling, squirming and loud talk among happy, healthy children is now being used as an excuse to give them Ritalin, a drug designed to help kids with real attention disorders," Janet Parshall of the Family Research Council said. "A study of two groups of English schoolchildren found little difference between the amount of giggling and squirming among normal kids and those who really had attention deficit disorders." "Symptoms" of ADD include being hyperactive, restless and impulsive, not wanting to sit still to read, study or even watch television. Often a child has difficulty participating in group activities. In other words they are symptoms of the condition known as childhood. Some mild forms of these "symptoms" are common in many children, leading experts to worry that ADD is diagnosed too often. While all normal children exhibit these "symptoms" and are therefor in danger of being targeted for forced drugging, only those children who seem particularity, independent, stubborn, hyperactive, rebellious and defiant of authority are forcibly drugged. The threat of forced drugging has a deterrent effect of intimidating other children into subservient compliance. However, not all children are scared of begin drugged, some kids like taking the drugs and are faking the ADD "symptoms" to get the drugs. Dr. Peter Breggin, a veteran psychiatrist, author and founder of the Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology, told WorldNetDaily the "disorder" of ADD is a sham. "ADHD is a false diagnosis to encourage the prescription of drugs," he said. "It is simply a list of behaviors with no scientific basis." Breggin says by pumping drugs into a child's system, the "brain is growing in an environment of toxic drugs." "Psychiatry and the drug companies have convinced the public that the problems children have are biological and genetic, and this has opened the road to medicating soon after birth," said Breggin. "Soon they'll be giving drugs to pregnant women if the baby's overactive in the womb." "We're a quick-fix society," Breggin explained. "Parents don't have the time or the motivation to properly raise our children. The attention deficit is in us, not our children." Chemical Castration In 1996 American children where using 90% of the world's Ritalin, in the same year, 10% to 12% of American boys were on Ritalin. About 95% of the kids on Ritalin today are boys." The forced drugging of boys who exhibit the symptoms typical of boyhood is a weapon used by androgynists to chemically castrate boys and turn them into complaint, docile tools for indoctrination. If androgynists observe different behaviors between boys and girls, and if they, because of their own severe gender identity mental disorder, refuse to accept in their own minds the fact that boys and girls are different, then they will use any means to make that behavior fit their preconceived, deranged notions. They then diagnose normal boyish rambunctiousness as a disorder and pump the boys full of drugs until the proper behavior is produced. by Gregory Flanagan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Drugging children into semi-comatose robo-compliancy is now slowly becoming the monstrous rule rather than the sad exception. Yet this deliberate chemical search-and-destroy dehumanizing of a generation of children is happening with relatively little outraged outcry...What is behind this intentional campaign to drug the very condition of childhood itself? What's so dangerous about children that the usual indoctrination into the ruling paradigm isn't sufficient any longer? Until now, national educational systems on this planet have been fairly efficient in training the majority of children into the world-view which the State, relatively benevolent or otherwise, wanted them to have. Why the sudden interest in forcing narcotics into babies and little children? What do these drugs actually do, that there is such an intense interest in force-feeding them to most innocent?"... "But what is fairly immediately and horribly apparent is the effect of these drugs on the emotional and mental root of self-conscious awareness. These chemicals act as a kind of heavy pesticide applied directly to the beautiful flower of self-awareness at the core of every human being. They paralyze the growing tips of our individuality itself. The thousand-and-one subtle antennae with which we receive and translate incoming sensory data are lopped off. The wondrous and infinite filaments of sensation are coated, practically undetectably, with a brutal and vicious chemical film. All genuine subtle electromagnetic interactions with life are replaced by a false chemical signature, a one-dimensional sensation of crude "well-being". And this one-dimensionality, this flatland-stupor of phony superficial OK-ness, is a state of perfect working zombification. It works so insidiously well because anyone under the influence of these drugs can walk and talk and work and appear to relate to other human beings. These drugs create a peculiar sub-rosa mini-lobotomy in which the only thing obviously missing is the inner relating factor: the soul."... "Even better than painstakingly training a citizenry from birth into becoming willing supporters of a totalitarian State's program, is to directly enter their bloodstreams early on and induce a wholesale dehumanization from the start."... "Children, in their vulnerable unfinished condition, can have no serious resistence to whatever they are being told while in a perpetual twilight zone of drug-induced soul-paralysis. They can never effectively question any outward authority so long as the chemically-imposed condition of compliance itself is circulating freely, a bioengineered army of occupation, in their own bloodstreams."..."the entire purpose of what was education is now to help a child find his or her comfy place within the confines of the Beast." - The Golden Road To Unlimited Totalitarianism; Part 4: Education as Black Ops - By Diane Harvey [email protected] 6-11-00 http://www.sightings.com Copyright © 2001 (5001) Liberation Journal.
