"The Lie of Mental Illness."

Thomas Szasz - I dare say - would have preferred, in an ideal world, to call his seminal work "The Myth of Mental Illness" - "The LIE of Mental Illness."

Szasz was a filosofer, an activist but also one of the only accurate historians of this thoroughly wicked institution and so-called branch of medicine.

Once again his ideas are simply deliberately misrepresented on wikipedia and elsewhere.
Whilst alive and now whilst he is dead.

An insult to one of the greatest intellectuals of all time and an insult to the millions damaged and murdered by the crime against humanity that was "Psychiatry".
He very compassionately tried to rescue people this from state-imposed slavery and oppression.
His sucess is inevitable.
How sad that he is not here to see the 1945 victory fully achieved and human rights established across the world.

Like slavery - "mental illness" ideology and "Psychiatry" are amongst the clearest breaches of the Golden Rule - "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You" - that it is possible to conceive of.

Cristians would never seek to enforce or coerce a belief in Cristianity - or at least not nowadays!

Yet contemporary "Western" society officially and authoritatively teaches the belief in "Mental Illness" to our whole global society. And no one seems to notice that it is a lie.

It is a belief with no science of any kind to support it. In fact it is destroyed by simple logic.

It is a belief which some do not realise is simply a belief. It is a belief in a complete lie.

This is backed up by state coercion and control and state propaganda.

This "religion"'s days are well and truly over.

The pseudo-science, pseudo-religion and crime against humanity that was "Psychiatry" is finished.

About Me

My photo
I am an amateur FILOSOFER. (I am not really a sofa). I dropped out of Cambridge University though I got an "S" grade in the entrance examination. I eventually received a 1st class Bachelors degree elsewhere. I received A.H.R.B. funding to pursue postgraduate study, but did not do so. Please enjoy my blogs. To parafrase Orwell, I am trying to make political blogging into an art. My intellectual heroes are Kenan Malik, Thomas Szasz and Noam Chomsky. I have made some mistakes in my life - and I would like to apologize wholeheartedly and from the depths of my cushions for any problems I may have caused and may be causing for anyone anywhere.
