>Yeah, but Hans is also incredibly naive. Of course an
email can get someone dragged off to the loony bin! For
christ's sake, Hans should go visit the websites of
Support Coalition International and Mad Nation and read
the oral histories of psych survivors who've been
locked away for reasons just as flimsy as that and by
people with no relationship to them whatsoever. Read
about the 6 year-old kid who spent 10 years in a psych
ward, much of it in solitary confinement, because HE
PICKED FLOWERS FROM A NEIGHBOR'S GARDEN! Hans sounds
like one of these starry-eyed types who thinks life is
fair and the innocent are never imprisoned and men in
white coats tell the truth. Hans thinks there are laws
and rules that psychs obey and that lawyers leap to
defend psych victims. DREAM ON, HANS. Most psych
hospitals are owned by large corporations who can
afford to litigate victims into the ground. And most
victims can't afford to pay a lawyer because they have
no income having just spend the last god-knows-how-long
locked up in a psych ward! So don't feel you have to be
easy on Hans. He doesn't have the first clue about what
psychs will or won't do.And that's my rant for the day. ;-)
?The participation of physicians, especially
psychiatrists, in the Holocaust is unprecedented in
history. The crimes of German Psychiatry are unique and
unprecedented in the history of mankind. The mass murder

hamburg.de/rz3a035/psychiatry.htmlYes, indeed, there is no way that psychiatrists can talk
them out of the Holocaust and the horrible things they
did to minorities. One day they will be exposed of not
just having been a part of it, but having been the
driving force behind the Holocaust.Having lived for many years in Germany, I came to
following conclusion to the question who is behind
international psychiatry: Behind international psychiatry
are German psychiatrists, the Nazi kind of psychiatrists.Barbara Schwarz
Barb, you are so right. You will find that historians of
the Holocaust back you up 100%. I always look forward to
an opportunity to post excerpts from this speech by Ernst
Klee, entitled "Killing by starvation in the institutions
and other previous crimes of psychiatry." Klee is the
author of "Good Old Days: The Holocaust as Seen by Its
Perpetrators and Bystanders," as well as other histories
published in German. This speech is translated from
German. The full text can be found in English at irren-irren-Open ↗
offensive.de/kleespeech.htm"German Psychiatry Needed the Nazis
"Long before the Nazis would come to power psychiatrists
already made similar demands [freedom to exterminate their
patients]."Emil Kraeplin 1918: "An absolute ruler who unscrupulously
interfered with human habits would, without any doubt and
in the course of only a few decades, effectuate a decline
in mental debility.""In 1931, Hermann Simon, Head of the Anstalt in Gütersloh
clearly defines the supposedly inferior category of
people. These include: the physically ill, the invalid,
the weak, the imbecile, the crippled and the insane, and
he concludes: "Someone will have to die again.""Ernst Rüdin 1934: "The psychiatrist and the healthy
person are allies against the genetically defective. The
psychiatrist must render his service to the ultimate aim
of a hereditary pure, able and superior race." Rüdin, who
regarded compulsory sterilization as the "most humane act
of humankind', says in 1934 about [censored]: "Only Adolf
[censored]'s political work made it possible that the people's
awareness for the meaning and importance of the purity of
race could be raised and heightened. Our dream, lasting
for over more than 30 years now, has finally become
reality.""The Nazis did not use German Psychiatry but German
Psychiatry needed the Nazis."Psychiatrists had to denigrate their patients because of
their own incapacity to provide either cure or therapy.
Hence, the first to be disposed of were those who
confronted them directly with this inability: the
chronically ill (the so-called incurable). German
psychiatric history was to culminate into the almost
unutterable: they said 'treat' but meant 'murder'
instead."
Thank you for posting that and providing the links, Kestrel.
I read as much of your postings as I can. ARS became a much
more interesting newsgroup since some individuals, critical
of psychiatry post here. Before it were mainly psychiatric
trolls which misinform, attack and heckle in typical German
Nazi psychiatric style, religion and everybody who just
happen to be of different opinion.
Sometimes it looks like a waste of time to post, as it seems
that nobody reads it or nobody is getting true information
in their heads, but I know there are are many quiet readers,
people that choose not to be hassled, and don't post, but
which you educate through your postings.
I hope you give nothing on hecklers and psychiatric trolls
who post that you should go away.
I am one of the unlucky people who had a real "run in" with
German psychs of our times. They are people from hell,
without human qualifications, without professional
qualifications, and they are simply perverted butchers.
Watching them and their determination to torture my religion
and personality out of me made me see that they are still
Nazi doctors.
The problem in Germany is that when you say the truth, that
psychs are still still operate like Nazis, they come, commit
you, and force drugs and other butcher methods on you. If
they really would not be Nazis doctor anymore, how come they
can't take critic easy and have to quiet critique down with
their brutal "treatments" and commitment?
Psychiatry need to be outlawed. Human and decent methods
need to be put in place to help the people which lost their
balances. I saw nobody beign healed in mental institutions.
Very honestly, people got crazier in there as they were when
they came in. By posting what psychiatry really is, and who
is behind it, you are doing the right steps.
Don't forget to post the excerpts from the Klee speech, as
soon you have time, Kestrel.
