I enjoyed reading your comment as well (always do).<br /><br />This entire thing really came back to backfire on some people - the political machine - SAMHSA, HHS, and the feds... when social networking insisted Robert Whitaker and Will Hall be allowed to speak!<br /><br />And if that victory wasn't enough, the "advocacy" crowd took a hit too - from comments left on the Huffington Post, and today by this great article by Bruce Levine....<br /><br />The TAC, and clowns like D.J. Jaffe heard a message they needed to hear... and the message is that many of us will not be ignored!<br /><br />I see all of this as a huge victory for freedom to choose when it comes to mental health!<br /><br />Thanks for being out there, Marian!<br /><br />DuaneDuane Sherryhttp://discoverandrecover.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-86847334520209518582010-10-06T00:37:37.216+02:002010-10-06T00:37:37.216+02:00Duane: yes I read Jaffe's post.

Jaffe - What a piece of work that guy is! Calls himself and "advocate," yet hasn't a clue! Not a clue!!!<br /><br />Anyway, many of the readers had more than a few words to say to him, as he danced around each of the issues in his responses... There were some great comments by readers.<br /><br />I'll work on getting a photo of Sam for the blog... I hope you have a good week.<br /><br />DuaneDuanehttp://discoverandrecover.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-3333305809356624792010-09-27T21:03:10.414+02:002010-09-27T21:03:10.414+02:00Marian,
Pharma was behind closed doors last summe...Marian,<br /><br />Pharma was behind closed doors last summer - with the adminstration, with Congress....<br /><br />I feared things were gonna get worse, before they got better... With HHS, SAMSHA, NIMH... <br /><br />The first indication was the full-court press by SAMSHA for early-detection and intervention... Enough to terrorize any parent who's been paying attention.<br /><br /><br />Now this.<br /><br />First, Robert Whitaker, an award-winning scientific journalist who simply presents a differnt view - based on sience!<br /><br />Now, Will Hall, who simply presents information on reducing the harm of drugs! Heaven forbid!!!<br /><br />Both are hardly anti-psychiatry, anti-drug, and yet an attempt was made to censor the first, and now the second.<br /><br />Unbelievable!<br /><br />Actually, when it comes to Pharma, and its ties to this federal government, nothing is too surprising.<br /><br />On a less serious note, <br /><br />Sheridan?<br /><br />What is this, Jeopardy?<br />"I'll take Civil War Generals for 1000, Alex.

Yeah. And I think it's both the money and the power to practise social control, to keep 'em crazies neatly doped up, dumb, and docile. But I don't know about the NEC. After all, that's Dan Fisher, and Judi Chamberlin (R.I.P.). SAMHSA, on the other hand -- I have no doubt about <i>their</i> agenda in general, and their role in this decision in particular...<br /><br />We just had a campaign here, in several Danish cities, to draw attention to the many deaths from psych drug use, where people from LAP (user organization) demonstrated carrying <a href="http://www.lap.dk/kampagner/psykiatrisk-medicin-draber/psykiatrisk-medicin-draeber.html" rel="nofollow">huge white crosses that said "psychiatry"</a>. A lot of commenters on facebook called it a "scare campaign" that might have people go off their "necessary meds". Same shit like censoring Will. Nothing more scary than a loony who's off "meds", it seems. To paraphrase General Sheridan: the only good loony is a dead (or completely zombified) loony.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273435151682585281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-39994504734070748662010-09-27T14:37:10.460+02:002010-09-27T14:37:10.460+02:00Marian,

Probably a decision that was made in the best interest of the "mentally ill."<br /><br />After all, the federal government (HHS, SAMSHA, NIH, etc) have long-considered the "mentally ill" unable to make their own decisions.<br /><br />This must just be their way of taking care of people who can't take care of themselves....<br /><br />In their words, those who "lack insight."<br /><br />DuaneDuane Sherryhttp://discoverandrecover.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
