The Lying Liars Who Lie About Psychiatry by Jon Rappoport

This story deserves to be retold.

I heard an interview once with a psychiatrist well-known in the field (i forget his name) who was a major debunker of Freud.

The interviewer asked him why Freud laid so much of behavior at the feet of sex. “Because it sells!” was the emphatic reply.

And now comes Dr. Allen Frances, blowing the whistle on the never-ending search by the shrink industry to find new bugaboos to treat…

Parents: Tell Your Children the Truth

First off, I don’t like practical jokes, and this was an example of it, and get this into your brain: there is nothing “practical” about them at all. And raising my children, I cannot remember even once ever lying to them. I told them plainly all along there was no Santa Claus.

Fox and Friends‘ panel this morning (January 5, 2013) discussed the video of a mother doing a practical joke on her son.

Dr. Susan Lipkins said that the parent should not have punked her child, and there is Dr. Robert Epstein who says it’s okay because from his studies with thousands of families, the most important factor is an environment of big love and affection for the children.

She was interviewed on Fox and Friends Saturday about the viral video of that Mom who did this with her child. For context, she wrote a book condemning practices of bullying and hazing among groups of kids, at schools and in other contexts.

First, emphasize this, it is true that loving your kids, spending time with them, having fun with them, is the most important factor in raising your children. Some parents are better at this than others.

I think the mother is targeted too harshly though by some, as this is good gossip fodder for busybodies who like to criticize others and jump in against them. Not that I would count Ms. Lipkin among them. She was asked her opinion, and used the occasion to give it. Of course. As did the other psychiatrist they had on.

But in one brief moment during the interview it was mentioned that another thing that Lipkins says is that parents should never lie to their kids. Yay!

This is something I always have said, and of course that applies to Santa Claus and other such myths. When the name came up, I always told my kids there was no Santa Claus.

I sat behind one of our my oldest two boys on a bus trip once, and there was a girl who was in a seat next to him asked him what Santa Claus had brought him, because it was just after Christmas. He replied that there was no Santa Claus. I was delighted to hear this. Then she echoed the the meme they push every Christmas season, saying he represents a spirit of the season, or something like that. I was compelled to come in at that point: “Yeah, the wrong one”.

Think about the trauma of kids that spend the first few years of their awareness of life being told something by their parents that they later find out –likely from peers about their own age at school– that there is no Santa Claus. When they go back and ask their parents, the parents confess up, although some of them argue about it because some pop psychologist that they have seen on Pop Media have told them it’s good for the kid to believe the myth.

So they go on telling the kids a lie and finally the gig is up anyway.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. – 2 Corinthians 13:8

Morality, virtue, and a universal definition

English: Saint Patrick stained glass window from Cathedral of Christ the Light, Oakland, CA. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“Religious people” do NOT fit into any such descriptive stereotype as some put forth, not in the real world. Many have a kind of Hollywood caricature of them. Most people don’t understand Christianity. A libertarian society could only come forth from a Christian legacy, expanded on the concept of the sovereign individual. The sovereign individual was always implicit in the laws of Moses and then then the historical, poetic and prophetic books of the Old Testament (the Tanukh). God was their ruler and He was the chief law enforcer of the laws of Moses, with priests only functioning for some immediate arbitration of disputes and to serve betimes as judges in cases of criminal acts.

Those who cry foul at the limited number of “capital” crimes are the same who today scream bloody murder if anybody questions their sacred doctrines or utters some forbidden thought, like maybe homosexuality is not morally equivalent to dark skin. Like David said, “I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war”. (Psalm 120:7)

There is another lie pushed by Parrot Media and Compliant Press, relating to science. St. Patrick‘s legacy is literacy, learning, and the shaming away of slavery in Europe, Isaac Newton and his peers with science based on experimentation, observation, repeatability, Martin Luther and other such peers’ legacy is the INDIVIDUAL’s own responsibility for his own salvation and his life). Christ said he came to “set the captives free”.

The Golden Rule is universal in one form or another, to all religions and even most atheists claim a form of it when challenged for the basis of their own claim to “morality” or to “virtue”.

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is pretty strong, but what can be expected of all is to at least expect reciprocity. Everyone knows, when intellectually honest, that it’s wrong to kill, because they don’t want to be killed. Everyone knows it’s wrong to steal, because they get miffed-plus if somebody robs them. And so on. And forcing a conversion is anathema to a true believer, as it is a false conversion.

The difference for truly believing Christians as opposed to the hum-drum  is that the greatest commandment (love God with heart, mind and soul) requires a recognition that they will have to answer to the Christian God for all their works and deeds.

UNFORTUNATELY in this generation the disclaimer is necessary to point out that a “Christian” by mouth and external label is no counter-example to the previous paragraph if his actions are those of one who does NOT believe he will have to answer for his deeds to a loving and merciful God.

jesus Christ: Enemy of Satan, and two thousand years of moral legacy, benefit to mankind

In reply to the news that the shooter in Newtown was a Satanist who had a web page so dedicated, according to a fellow high school student, one response was that we should therefore squash “all religious fundamentalism”…

So to stop Satanists from blowing away little kids (who would not stop anyway) they would instead blow away

#1 Mother Theresa caring for the dying poor,

#2 William Wilberforce getting slavery abolished in the British Empire,

#3 David Livingston for stopping a massacre of Africans by Arabs in the jungle,

#4 the Abolitionists campaigning against slavery in the U.S.,

#5 Saint Patrick sharing the love of Christ and a love for books and a hate for slavery with the Irish,

#6 the Irish sharing the love for books with the English and a hate for slavery,

#7 the Irish and the British restoring learning and sharing their books with the European continent invited by Charlemagne after the pagans burned them all,

#7a the centers of learning that evolved from Charlemagne’s into the universities of today,

#8 Martin Luther liberating the minds of millions from the servitude of penance and the idolatry of relics,

#9 Isaac Newton, father of modern science, who said science was “thinking God’s thoughts after him”,

#10 orphanages that evolved from the practice of Christians in the Roman Empire raising children from the abandoned infants at their doorstep,

#11 Saint Francis tending to lepers and protesting the military Crusades and making peace with the king of Egypt,

#12 the Amish that never blow anybody away and are very zealous about their faith to the extent of caring for each other and even the family of a deranged individual that blew away several of their children,

#13 the Salvation Army feeding, clothing, and housing tens of thousands of indigents and poor for a century and a half,

#14 Charles Darwin rebuking critics of missionaries, thankful that world travelers had to worry less about cannibals in the far-flung islands, expressing great relief at seeing the cross atop a building as they approached those isles,

#15 missionaries who taught the Chinese to abandon the practice of throwing babies into the “baby ponds”,

#16 missionaries who founded the first schools many places ever saw around the world,

#17 the major Ivy League universities like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, in the United States today that were founded by Christians to advance the knowledge of the Bible (taken over now by demagogues who defend witches and Satanists from criticism by Christians, go figure)

#18 the founders of almost all the major branches of modern science who were Genesis-believing creationists,

#19 the Red Cross founded and named by Christian believers,

#20 the Christian pastors that put pressure on the atheists and Darwinists, demanding that the New York zoo free Ota Benga go free, the Pygmy that they had kept in a cage as the “missing link”,

#21 Russ Humphreys, who predicted a bulls eye calculation for the magnetic field strengths of the planets Uranus and Neptune based on Genesis One, with the NASA scientists orders of magnitude off,

#22 Ron Paul, champion of the Constitution, indisputably the most honest Congressman the United States has had in our lifetimes and who never traded his vote for material advantage..

#23 the champions of individual rights, devout Christians like Patrick Henry and Gouverneur Morris who made the Bill of Rights a condition for union…

…and so many more outstanding lights of love and sanity in American history who showed examples of the love of Jesus Christ in their works…

Bill Nye blabbers the same religious dogmas on John Stossel’s show

John Stossel (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

HEY BILL NYE!

“Observable and repeatable”?

How about scientist Russ Humphrey’s bull’s eye accurate prediction of the magnetic field strength of planets Neptune and Uranus before the satellite sent back the measurements, and the NASA guys getting it orders of magnitude wrong?

Bill Nye holds his evolutionary beliefs with very religious tenacity.

John Stossel should host a debate between Bill Nye “the science guy” and one of the foremost Creation scientists that have done it, like a great many associated with The Institute of Creation Research, or The CRS Research Journal.

Nye says you can’t disprove evolution and that you cannot prove the Earth is 6,000 or 10,000 years old. Not that he’s ever tried to think about how you could.

Macro-evolution is NOT “observable and repeatable” the way they talk about. What they do talk about are the same observable and repeatable things that the Young Earth Creationists emphatically agree are facts, and Creationist scientists say are most definitely evidence for a young Earth. 

Stossel did ask the question that Nye says is “unknowable”, a good copout but that’s one of their own gaps. Their gap theory is that they don’t have to know how it may have happened, they just know it did.

In fact, they apply the same basic leaps of logic in their thinking about how a molecule may be the ancient ancestor of man. It could have happened this way, could have happened that way, all by itself unguided, but their best actual “observable and repeatable” examples are what Creation scientists agree with.

The difference is that Creationists precisely stay with what is observable and repeatable. The wild canine species all descended from the same original wolf-like ancestry, cats trace their lineage back to some kind of cat, and all this is obvious from observation and deduction. A net loss of information ensues.

Finches to finches, and a blind fish that even still has the gene for eyesight that lived in caves. You try it. Take some fish that can see and put them in a tank with zero light for a few generations and watch what happens.

Bill Nye believes in his long-ages unguided process that produces an information processing machine complete with a digital processing language and complete feedback mechanisms, better than any self-maintaining set of robots that any of today’s best IT engineers can do.

The real “golden goose” is the FREE MARKET

Memo to people who vote for their own economic ruin:

That’s because marauding looters with big guns and big gangs are after everything we’ve got. And we don’t have anything. You’re looting our bosses along with your own, and they are losing their ability to pay us.

But don’t worry, like the Patrick Stewart character channeling Captain Bligh, you “will make them pay!”

Now here comes Jim Cooper (D-Tennessee) who wants to tell us that confiscating fatal chunks of the economy is good for us, by giving the media a chance to go into fits of praise for the great things government has done for us by funding projects that have absolutely no positive benefit in mind for us at all.

Memo to Jim Cooper: The only way YOU can give out money for “basic research“, meaning research nobody else wants to pay for, is because YOU and yours FLEECE the producers in the free market, and rob the owners of the golden goose.

Science accidents happen all the time in the real world, that produce real benefits by surprise. So Jim Cooper and fellow squawkers admit that on purpose have no benefit.But funding their pet projects with money taken by force from others at no cost to them is “good” for us.

And now to praise the glories of government funding what they call “basic” research, meaning research nobody else wants to pay for, there is now a “Golden Goose” award. They want us to forget the fact that this is drop in the bucket and they don’t want us to consider that to get one golden egg, we have to pay for twenty million tons of golden fleece.

It’s just like that.

Ever hear of “honeybee colony collapse disorder“? The  research company that blew the whistle on the connections they found to genetically modified crops was bought by Monsanto.

And we still haven’t seen the biggest potential dangers from all the gene manipulation, now just beginning to go public with a new study that (finally) shows that eating genetically modified foods is a health hazard.

If you think this kind of thing is worthwhile, then fund it yourself. Lots of private companies and philanthropists still do.

Christians fund as many as half a dozen radio stations with voluntary donations in every major urban area in the United States, with no coercion at all, because it is a cause they believe in.

But some people use things like they publicize to accept the things they don’t. Like they think we should play dead when they take our money so they can spend a million dollars to actually finally prove that monkeys get crazy on cocaine.

Judge Napolitano Warns That Drug Contamination Will Happen Again If the Government Continues to Regulate | Fox News Insider

Andrew Napolitano & Tom Woods (Photo credit: Gage Skidmore)

 

http://foxnewsinsider.com/2012/10/09/meningitis-steroid-shot-contamination-outbreak-judge-napolitano-government-regulation/

 

He surmised, “The government is incapable of doing what it has charged itself with the responsibility of doing because it has no competition and there are no consequences when it fails.” As a result, Judge Napolitano forewarned, this will happen again.

What’s the alternative? Judge Napolitano said that since states can’t be sued if people are harmed, insurance companies should be in charge of regulating because they would be held accountable.

 

Massachusetts is probably the most regulated in your face state in the country. Their inspectors are empowered by the state to stay all day at any facility they choose, and they have a lot of them.

 

Look at how many hundreds of government departments there are in Massachusetts to take care of you and make sure you aren’t hurt by your own gullible stupidity:

 

http://www.mass.gov/portal/global-agency-list.html

 

And yet this slipped out. The company will be shut down but the state inspectors? Nothing will happen to them. Will all the gullible statists that think they can have an omniscient and caring government take care of them, will they throw out the governor for this?

 

Maybe not. It’s only a scandal where people are dying, happens to be Tennessee mostly, but even there, it’s not that big a percentage of the population. It’s one BIG DEAL to the families that have been hurt, for sure.

 

One thing for sure, those inspectors are not going to hurt. As a matter of fact, this episode has the naive and gullible now calling for more inspectors. There will be no demotions unless the public forces the state government to pay or the state forces the inspectors involved to pay.

 

But they have the old standby that works for state-control advocates pretty well usually -so far-: We just need more money to hire more people and to buy more tools.

 

It’s quite the scam.

Girl’s blood vessel grows back from her own stem cells

A girl's blood vessel was re-grown using a transplant of her own stem cells:

Girl, 10, has vein transplant using a blood vessel grown from her own stem cells | Mail Online

In America there are all kinds of procedures being done as we speak using adult stem cell procedures.

Last time I looked, HERE IN AMERICA, WITHOUT Biblical law, but according to Biblical law, there were at least 72 medical applications helping cure thousands of Americans, using adult stem cell related therapies and techniques. And that without government having to rob you and me for the research! ‘

And you wonder why the world is passing you by? Did Nazi Germany pass by the rest of the West by running cruel experiments on Jews? Or the Japanese, running experiments to study the effects on Korean prisoners of the cold while they were dying naked in the snow?

America is falling behind what it could do because it pours billions down a bottomless hole to study embryonic stem cell research that helps nobody, and funding it by robbing the private economy that is happy to invest in adult stem cell research because adult stem cell research works!

CFL bulbs hurt the environment with mercury and the UV burns your skin

 

Study: Exposure to CFL bulbs harms healthy skin cells | The Daily Caller:

http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/23/energy-efficient-cfl-bulbs-cause-skin-damage-say-researchers/

New research funded by the National Science Foundation has scientists warning consumers about the potentially harmful effects energy-saving CFL light bulbs can have on skin.

The warning comes based on a study conducted by Stony Brook University and New York State Stem Cell Science — published in the June issue of Photochemistry and Photobiology — which looked at whether and how the invisible UV rays CFL bulbs emit affect the skin.

Based on the research, scientists concluded that CFL light bulbs can be harmful to healthy skin cells.

“Our study revealed that the response of healthy skin cells to UV emitted from CFL bulbs is consistent with damage from ultraviolet radiation,” said lead researcher Miriam Rafailovich, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Stony Brook University, in New York, in a statement. “Skin cell damage was further enhanced when low dosages of TiO2 nanoparticles were introduced to the skin cells prior to exposure.”

So, the bulbs hurt us, the billions of dollars, probably trillions now,  pulled out of the economy to obey the mini-dictators of federal offices that could have enabled much more health care in the free market and create wealth and jobs, and decisions muzzling free speech and free exercise to protect the freedom of a few to “protect” everybody else from the speech, these things have nothing to do with freedom of choice, or civil rights.

They are controls, and some of them are simply to get us used to obeying our government masters for when they finally declare themselves.

People sometimes forget that slavery was all about involuntary total economic control over the fruits of another person’s labor, and total control over what he does with it. But when the person enjoys total freedom, he has total economic control over the fruits of his own labor, and the fruits of whatever he does with it (in trade and investment).

Tax Freedom Day in the United States this year was April 17, 2012, four days later than the year before. That’s how long it takes Americans as a whole to pay taxes. 107 days out of the 366 days of the year 2012.

So in the United States we are slaves, under involuntary servitude, as a whole, for about one-third of the whole year, 107 days out of 366. That’s almost 30%!

So we’re “only” one-third slaves.

Except for one more step in this reasoning. We are “only” one-third slaves because our slave-masters have decided to let us keep two-thirds of the fruits of our labor for expenses. The whole thing is based on the idea that whoever is in control owns 100% of us, and they decide what we keep.

That’s the whole unspoken idea in the debate over how much Americans pay in taxes in Congress. They are the ones who decide how much to let us keep.

Ladies and gentlemen, that’s called feudalism, and our state of affairs is “serfdom”.

But instead of being sharecroppers where the master of the plantation tells us how much food we keep, he tells us how much we get to keep of what is our own land and our own labor. And they don’t even have to declare title to our persons, at least not yet, or at least not that we know of. Who knows what collateral our rulers have promised for the debt they made us liable for under the fiction that we consented to all this serfdom?

New company wants to map indoor locations using magnetic field disturbances

 

http://www.intomobile.com/2012/07/16/new-compnay-wants-map-indoor-locations-using-magnetic-field-disturbances/

GPS is nice, useful, but this Finnish company has developed a sensor for mobile devices that can tell you where you are inside a building, using internal magnetic field sensors only, based on fluctuations in that field. GPS technology depends on triangulation from external devices, be it satellites or cellular towers. This one reads the magnetic fields like a homing pigeon’s sensory organs.
