Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while and I decided to register so I could post this. I think the mind control discussion is too often focused on instances that are obscure and difficult to prove. I'm not denying that the CIA mind-controls people, but there is a much more obvious mind control regime in place and that is the psychiatric industry.
Now many people think that psychiatrists actually do serve a legitimate function in our society. I disagree, but this is a difficult discussion to have when it comes to people with serious issues like schizophrenia or rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. They already own these people.
The reason I think psychiatrists are inhuman control freaks is that they basically think that every person who has the slightest variation in mental function should be drugged. The most prevalent example of this is the over-diagnosis of "Attention Deficit Disorder", which has absolutely no basis in biology and can be diagnosed in just about any child. ADD symptoms can easily be accounted for by sugar consumption and television viewing.
Relatively recently a new version has been invented called "Adult Attention Deficit Disorder". The man who invented this "disease" is Lenard Adler, who is head of Neurology/Psychiatry at NYU Medical Center. Coincidentally he also supervised clinical trials of the drug Strattera for Eli Lily. Strattera supposedly "treats" Adult ADD, but like all psychiatric drugs there is no specific biochemical "problem" that the drug "fixes".

<i>Strattera works differently from other available ADHD medications. It is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The precise role that norepinephrine plays in the treatment of ADHD is not known. However, scientists believe it may be important in regulating attention, impulsivity, and activity levels.</i>
The most obvious effect of Strattera in men is that it makes them impotent. It can also cause mania, which is often ground for forced medication. Psychiatrists will more often than not tell a patient that they have bipolar disorder and give them more drugs, rather than take themoff of the drugs causing the mania.
Adult Attention Deficit Disorder a rationale to drug the entire human race and turn us all into mental patients.
I haven't read his new book, but some time soon I hope to publish a review/criticism of it. If anyone else can stomach reading it I could use the help.
