How
many are looking at the schools themselves as the conduit through which
millions of students are drugged with mind-altering drugs?
Some history. In 1965, the passage of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA), changed education forever as the seeds for today's massive restructuring -- away from academics to
behavior modification -- began. It was psychology's crowning moment.
The ESEA allocated massive federal funds and opened school doors to a flood of
psychiatrists,
psychologists, social workers and the psychiatric programs and testing
needed to validate them. The number of educational psychologists in the
U.S. increased from 455 in 1969 to 16,146 in 1992. As of 1994, child
psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors and special educators in and around U.S. public schools nearly out-number teachers.
To
date, there has never been issued a single peer- eviewed scientific
paper officially claiming to prove ADD/ ADHD exists. Nor has there ever
been a single bit of physical evidence to confirm the disease exists.
So-called
experts on the subject have refused to answer the simple question, "is
ADD/ ADHD a real disease?" Medical researchers charge that ADHD does not
meet the medical definition of a disease or syndrome or anything
organic or biologic.
Yet, in 1991, eligibility rules for
federal education grants were changed to provide schools with $400 in annual grant money for each child diagnosed with ADHD.
That
same year the Department of Education formally recognized ADHD as a
handicap and directed all state education officers to establish
procedures to screen and identify ADHD children and provide them with
special education and psychological services. As a result, the number of
ADD/ADHD cases soared again.
Today more than 7,000,000 children
have been labeled, tamped and registered as permanent patients of the
school system. 10 to 12 percent of all boys between the ages of 6 and 14
in the United States have been diagnosed as having ADD.
One in
every 30 Americans between the ages of 5 and 19 years old has a
prescription for Ritalin. And the fuse burns as the "patients" sit in
the classroom.
AS THE USE OF PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS RISE – SO TOO DO CHILD SUICIDES
Children are dying. Not just in shootings, but in rising incidents of suicide.
Here are some details:
A
November 1997 medical report found: "The association between
benzodiazephine use and attempted suicide is especially high for…the
young, and for males..."
In the April 1996 Australian and
New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, a study found that "the older tricyclic
antidepressants are a significant cause of suicide" and accounted for the majority of antidepressant deaths studied between 1986 and 1990.
A
December 1996 French study entitled, "Suicide and psychotropic drugs,"
established that "suicide attempts are more frequent among patients
taking antidepressants..."
In Denmark, with a huge usage of psychotropic drugs, the suicide rate is twice the rate of that in the United States.
In the U.S., teen suicides have tripled since 1960; today, suicide is the second leading cause of death.
In Israel, between 1981 and 1994, the estimated suicide rate for 15- to 19-year-old Jewish boys increased by about 183 percent.
(Tellingly, the suicide rate dropped 10 percent during a 1997 period when Israel's psychologists went on strike.)
Australia’s
suicide rate increased between 1960 and 1967 when legislation was
passed to enable a person to obtain multiple prescriptions for
sedatives. When the law was modified in 1967 to restrict the practice,
there was a decrease in per capita sedative usage and a decline in
suicide rates.
Are we hearing an outcry from that tragedy? Are
there calls for stopping, banning, regulating the use of these mind-
altering drugs? Is the
pharmaceutical industry
being called on the carpet? Are there emergency congressional hearings
being held to showcase the heads of big pharma as murdering criminals?
Not on your life.
As the nation is outraged over the school
shootings, demanding that something be done, guns become the target, not
the drugs that filled the child's mind with delusions to take such
horrific action.
Meanwhile the gun sits innocently
in the corner, unmoving, unable to cause damage -- until the real loaded weapon -- the drugged student – picks it up.

(January 11, 2013) In the brave new world
of the very near future, children will enter their public schools
passing police checkpoints, surveillance cameras, metal detectors, X-ray
scanners and warrantless physical searches. Parents will relax, knowing
their child is now "SAFE." No violent evil doers will be able to get
past that wall of security.
