Religious intolerance has been the bane of civilization for centuries. If you have ever seen the Shakespeare play "The Merchant of Venice" or read much literature from the early part of the 20th Century, you will see how hatred and intolerance for Jews festered for centuries and led to the horrors of the holocaust.
So it is a refreshing change to see a book dedicated to religious tolerance: The Cult Around The Corner. This is a common sense handbook on overcoming serious religious differences between individuals and groups. I highly recommend it.

Paxil Exposed
Here is a CBS investigative report on Paxil and its destructive effects on children: CBS 42: Paxil and Kids
Watch right to the end because at the very end it is announced that Paxil has also been found to increase the chances of suicide in adults. "Safe and Effective" - yeah right!

Standard Clinical Research Guidelines Cause Disaster
Six people who where subjects of a drug trial are in critical condition. Six Hospitalized in British Drug Trial. This sort of human experimentation goes on all the time under the guise of "clinical trials." How experiments of this sort can be allowed in a so called "civilized" society is explained by the huge amounts of money the pharmaceutical companies pay out to have laws passed to make it okay.
Here are some of the excuses: the trial "adhered to standard clinical research guidelines" (which allow people to be experimented on), "Such an adverse drug reaction occurs extremely rarely and this is an unfortunate and unusual situation" (yeah, like the unusual occurrence of 26 people killing themselves during the trials for Prozac), "These events were completely unexpected and do not reflect the results we obtained from initial laboratory studies" (wow, those must have been really thorough lab studies), "Our immediate priority has been to ensure that no further patients are harmed" (read that as "no further PR is harmed".

Psychiatrists Experimenting on Children
Children between 4 and 6 years old are being used as human guinea pigs in a "study" being performed by the Department of Pediatric Psychopharmacology at Massachusetts General Hospital. The drugs being tested are so dangerous that they have a "black box" warning because they cause diabetes, a life-threatening nervous system problem, low blood pressure and even death in adults, so god knows what they are going to do to young children. Now maybe you think, "and their parents let them be used in these experiments?" but the parents weren't told about the side-effects of the drugs!
This is something you probably thought ended with the Nuremberg Trials where the people who ran the Nazi Death Camps were finally brought to justice. Well, no. This is happening right now in America. Here is the data: Tots Used as Human Guinea Pigs?

Suicide warning issued for young Paxil users
I take no pleasure in saying "I told you so." The fact that Paxil and other antidepressants cause suicide in children has been known by the drug makers for a long, long time. Prescribing antidepressants to children is banned in the UK and several other countries and has been for years. The FDA still hasn't banned it but at least this is a step forward: Suicide warning issued for young Paxil users .
I also want to point out that last year Tom Cruise was attacked again and again by "experts" for saying that these drugs were dangerous. It seems he can now say "I told you so," but he probably won't, there is little pleasure in it when you think of the number of kids who've died due to the criminal negligence of the FDA and the profit hungry lying of the pharmaceutical industry.

History of Psychiatry
Question: How do you handle a disobedient child of 10 or 11 years old?
Answer from a survivor of Psychiatry: "They would plunge our heads into ice-cold water if we did something wrong,"
In an interview last year, Tom Cruise told Matt Lauer that he, Matt, didn't know the history of psychiatry and that if he did he would have a different viewpoint on the subject. Mr. Cruise was totally correct and just to prove it here is a horror story from the recent past: Up to 50,000 innocent children may have died or disappeared in Quebec's psychiatric institutions Survivors demand justice

Drug firms 'hype up diseases to boost sales'

The Dangers of Antidepressant Drugs
This article is a good reference on the dangers of antidepressant drugs such as Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, etc. These drugs are given out mainly by medical doctors who have no clue about how dangerous they are. The article has many links to related articles which expose lies by Eli Lilly, FDA negligence and more. However, I want to point out one big error in the article - linking brain chemistry to depression. There are no physical tests that prove there is such a thing as a chemical imbalance. None, zero, nil, naught, nothing, not-even-one. There are plenty of physical tests that show malfunctions of various organs (especially the thyroid) can cause the symptoms that are called "depression". If your body is not working properly and has no energy because your thyroid is malfunctioning then it's not surprising you're going to feel "depressed". So with that one caveat in mind here is the article: Experts say antidepressant drugs cause suicides instead of preventing them

"We know how to destroy people. It's what we do. We do it without creating liability. That's our specialty."
"We know how to destroy people. It's what we do. We do it without creating liability. That's our specialty." So said a reporter caught red-handed attempting to extort money for "protecting" a billionaire from adverse press. The best way to destroy freedom of the press and freedom of speech is to abuse those freedoms to such an extent that the freedoms are seen as something negative and are taken away.
So, first, demand accuracy of the press and second, carefully evaluate what you read in the media.

Truth in Reporting - The Ethics of the Press
A New York Post gossip writer was caught red-handed trying to extort money, an investment in his clothing line, gossip about other celebrities and jobs for friends and their wives from a New York billionaire. The writer would "protect" the billionaire by preventing fabricated gossip from being written about him in exchange for all these things. He even laid out "levels of protection". Luckily the billionaire was no wimp, contacted the FBI and videotaped the meetings: The billionaire, the Post and the $220G shakedown.
So here we have another story about a reporter printing inaccurate stories, this time as a means of extortion. You've probably seen quite a few stories over the past couple of years about reporters making up stories or editing photographs to make themselves look good. The moral of the story? Don't blindly believe what you read in the press, always think for yourself.
