Mental Health Screening, You May Be Next
Mental Health Screening, You May Be Next
Norman Dodd, working for a Congressional oversight committee, was told these words while enquiring about the kind of work that major foundations do.
"We operate here under directives which emulate from the White House ... The substance of
the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant making power to alter life in the
United States so that we can comfortably be merged with the Soviet Union." -- Rowan Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation, 1954.
You may be asking, what on earth does this have to do with mental health screening? Well some people in some very high places have been trying very hard for a very long time to make dramatic changes in the American society. All of the big foundations have been and still are involved in this. It starts first with education. This certainly is a conspiracy but it is no theory. Their plans have been in the making for a long time, and the fruits of their labor are started to manifest themselves.
In 2002, President Bush established the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health to conduct “a comprehensive study of the United States mental health service delivery system.”(1) This is part of his New Freedom Initiative legislation. Really great names, aren’t they? This NFI initiative is to provide mental health screening for everyone (first starting with kids, then universal), and provides for strong anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs as treatment for many mental health problems detected. In case you think that this will affect you only if you have some extreme form of psychosis or neurosis, you need to look at whom the leaders in the psychiatric field consider mentally disturbed.
But before we delve into that, just who is behind all of this? The most powerful force behind this initiative is the pharmaceutical industry, including Eli Lilly & Co. (manufacturer of Prozac). Is it merely a coincidence that George H. W. Bush has been on the board of directors of Lilly, that Lilly made over $1 million in contributions to George W. and his campaign in 2000, and Lilly’s CEO was appointed to the Homeland Security Council? (1) There are no coincidences.
Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul commented on this initiative in
September 2004. “The goal is to promote the patently false idea that we have a nation of children with undiagnosed mental disorders crying out for treatment…The greater issue, however, is not whether youth mental health screening is appropriate. The real issue is whether the state owns your kids. When the government orders “universal” mental health screening in schools, it really means “mandatory”…The political right has now joined the political left in seeking the de facto nationalization of children, and only informed resistance by parents can stop it. The federal government is slowly but surely destroying real families, but it is hardly a benevolent surrogate parent.”
A Columbia University project called TeenScreen, which has been recommended by the Bush’s New Freedom Commission, conducted a pilot program test. These were the results. One third of the teenagers in the test were flagged as “positive” for mental health problems, with half of those being recommended for mental health treatment. (1) What does this mean? We have 52 million public school students. If this program were to be implemented nation wide, which is the course we are now on, one third or 17 million would now have this libelous label attached to them and 8 million would be turned over to psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry. That is in addition to the
4 million children, a number that has doubled in 15 years, who are now on Ritalin.
Just who do all of these smart, educated doctor types consider mentally disturbed? Let’s take a trip back in time. Remember, the mental health professionals of today were educated by the mental health professionals of yesterday. The head of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1933 stated that their goal was social control or the control of human behavior. Don’t forget that most of the doctors, educators, etc. of the past and of the present receive their grants and funding from the big foundations. Without going into all of the names, these are some of the things that they have stated by these “leaders’ and “policy makers” down through the years. (1)
1840. “The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, guided…It does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.”
1919. “We have vindicated the right of social control…The state must socialize every group…Men must learn to have world patriotism…World patriotism must be a faith”
1921. “The thrust of the Committee’s philosophy was that mental illness hinged on faulty personality development in childhood and that, therefore, personality development should supersede all other educational objectives.”
1927, “Sterilize all of the unfit, among whom I include all fundamentalists.”
1928. “Under Socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner.”
1932, “I am not seriously alarmed by the sufferings of the creditor class…the restrictions of certain kinds of freedom which must result, nor even by the bloodshed of the transition period. A better economic order is worth a little bloodshed”
1933. “Can we develop so sound and extensive a genetics that we can hope to breed, in the future, superior men?”
1937. “The only way out of the current cultural crisis is the establishment of a scientific control of human affairs.”
1948. “Anyone with a brain cell must recognize that the only way to prevent a child from becoming infected by the psycho-emotional cesspools of the parents is to fumigate Mom and Dad psychologically.”
1957. “Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluorine will in time gradually reduce the individual’s power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotizing this area of the brain tissue and make him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him.
1958. “If you believe that parents should teach their children right and wrong, then you are mentally ill….If you believe the great doctrines of the Christian Church as contained in the Bible, then you are mentally ill. If you prefer American Sovereignty to World Government, then you are mentally ill. So say the various self-appointed guardians of the world’s health, the Mental Health fanatics….This group constitutes one of the most dangerous universal brain-washing brigades which has yet appeared on the scene of human activity.”
