Sussan Ley's 5th Mental Health plan

Here's Susan Ley's details for people who wish to give her feedback, as Health Minister on her plans, that do not include abolishing forced psychiatry, or even touching on the subject. Her plan outlines a want to expand into rural areas (and put ugly labels on rural people, particularly 1st Nations Peoples), consult, ignore and implement the same-old abuse Susan Ley's report claims to 'work'.

Making money by enslaving humans as laboratory specimens does not 'work'. It does not work to turn the citizens of Australia into invalids by forcefully drugging them, electrocuting them - this 24/7 indefinite torture, that psychiatrists insist should be inflicted on people the rest of their life. Psychiatrists are not in any humans best interest, they are only out for their own ugly welfare. They are professional torturers, their abuse is systemic, it is not isolated.

The 5th Mental Health Plan is in consultation with the public. Please tell the evil thugs that forced psychiatry must be abolished. That there is never a reason to forced psychiatry, because psychiatry is never life-saving, and there is never an excuse for enslaving humans as laboratory specimens, never an excuse for shutting a person down and shutting them up, when they are innocent of crime.

Psychiatric assault is the worst kind of torture as it shuts down a persons capacity to communicate, express their protest... and it demands that a person 'play the game' of pretending to be compliant with psychiatry's destruction of their life, in hope to be freed or not given worse treatments that will make their body and mind more of a prison, a prison of 'tranquisers' the chemical lobotomy that is not only physically painful, but really de-humanising.

We need:

·         A national helpline for prescribed drug dependence

·         several Recovery Houses in each state by 2017

·         An end to forced and aggressively coerced psychiatric treatments

BMA uk suggests:

·         the creation of a round-the-clock helpline for prescribed drug dependence

·         a national strategy for specialist services for patients addicted to such medication

·         more robust guidance on managing patients’ withdrawal from drugs.

Psychiatry is very obviously a disgusting breach of human rights, it cannot continue.

Women just should not be forced onto a psychward, by male-prejudice, which happens all too often.

You are a perpetrator if you’re a psychiatrist, if you don’t admit this, then you’re one of the worse kind that hasn’t stopped perpetrating.

Psychiatrists don’t like being accused, yet they’ll regularly accuse people of ridiculous things and torture them because of their accusation.

Women in crisis should not have to be subjected to psychiatric assault & male violence while being forcefully treated. Women need a non-medicalising Recovery House, that employs Open Dialogue or something that the women want.

This article outlines exactly what should be shouted about for psychsurvivors by mainstream media: http://linkis.com/junkee.com/no-shame-/n0Y8V

Petition sent

I have sent the petition I started on change.org to the Health Minister, AHRC & Robert Garran Offices
I am attending the Melbourne consultations and will make sure a hard copy is given to Susan Ley/ associates.

Although psychiatry slavery/torture/abuse/murder... is a Human Rights issue, we cannot ignore that it is the Department of Health that is perpetrating this violence on our community. It is their policy and privacy, that like police and military that is making certain that whitecoats continue to perpetuate crimes against Australian citizens, those visiting Australia, as well as those who are residing or hoping to migrate here.

Susan Ley's 5th Mental Health plan, in discussion, ignores the fact is psychiatry is defying International Law, as Australia has signed & ratified UN CRPD, when Graeme Innes was the president for the Human Rights Commission in Oct 2013, when this petition started. The Australian Commission for Human Rights president (Gillian Triggs) ignores that millions of Australian Citizens who apply to mental health tribunals to stop psychiatry's assault on them, and are not even given lawyers because they're innocent of crime, yet are forcefully subjected to 24/7 indefinite torture and arbitrary detention.

Every day, every year, quarter of our population is subjected to psychiatric assault. These people are terrified into keeping quiet. They are being used in diabolical human experiments, enslaved as laboratory specimens for the profits of this scam industry that takes $60 billion every year from the Australian government and distributes propaganda to say this is 'care' and 'help'.

And it's not just about Australia...

Over 1.5 billion women, men and children need various forms of crisis support when overwhelmed by the grief of social, political and personal oppression, yet instead are subjected to arbitrary detention and 24/7 torture from the psychiatric regime.

Can Amnesty & other human rights organisations start working towards making sure that these courageous people are treated humanely? No one deserves to be tortured then told this is ‘care’ and ‘help’. The widespread denial of justice for people subjected to the psychiatric regime and double-standards in human rights advocacy is outrageous.

Be part of our call to the world’s governments - including Australia - to not only do their fair share to protect and assist people in crisis, (who are often seeking support to expose the horrendous organised crime in our communities) but also end the uniform practice of shutting down and shutting up whistle-blowers, by medicalising the victim-of-crime. Do not allow whitecoats to enslave innocent humans as laboratory specimens anymore – it is disgusting that the psychiatric regime has gone on 208 years already without enough protest from the community.

There can be no assisted deaths by white-coats until...

There can be no human euthanasia programs in Australia, until forced medical treatments are abolished.

It is important that people freely choose medical treatments, especially treatments that will end a person's life, or be harmful in other ways. While there is forced medical treatments in Australia, the idea of 'voluntary' euthanasia is not possible, and it's horrible that people conceive and push this idea, without also having conversations about abolishing forced medical treatments.

Medical Practitioners, most especially psychiatrists, but also those treating cancer, will demand a person try every possible treatment, they offer, before euthanasia is offered. Medical abuse is rife in psychiatry, where a person's suffering is subjected to drugging, electrocution, and various harmful procedures, against their will. But it’s not only psychiatry, there are also forced treatments in aged care. People who are dying from age, or terminal illness are not being allowed to die, without medical intrusions, tests, blood-taking - all part of procedure and measures that are not really done for the patient they're intruding on, rather for some research, that hospitals do on a regular basis.

To be allowed your own space, without medical intrusions, and medicine when asked for, requires that the laws in our country are changed to be aligned with the United Nations CRPD, and our antislavery legislation (given that if you are being used in medical studies against your will, this is a servitude offense in our criminal code. Being a medical test subject is not a job people readily want to do, and if they do it is because human test subjects get paid a lot of money for invasive experiments.)

Disability, or diagnosis should not allow forced medicine, but in Australia this happens on a systematic basis. And while Australia has signed and ratified the UN CRPD, it has not implemented it into our law, as promised in 2013. And while Australia's Antislavery Legislation was also updated in 2013, and is very strong, as far as I'm aware the Federal Police have not investigated potential servitude offenses of Medical Practitioners. Though there is this one at the moment, hopefully being looked at. A lot of money is made by Australian psychiatrists from trialling medicines on people who are subjected to coercive-control. The trials are rarely legitimate, given people who are forcefully injected, coerced to take tablets through threats of hospitalisation, injections, or electrocution... are not going to speak freely, if that is likely to make their life worse, and it does. (Psychiatrists want positive results for the drugs companies, and if that means making a patient say yes to near everything the psychiatrist wants, that's exactly what will happen, the majority of the time.) 

The abuse of death-by-medical-treatment, as we've already seen happen in Belgium, is where people have got to stop and recognise how horrific this terminating of lives is, when in the hands of psychiatry. A teenager being given the death drug by psychiatrists, after the deciding psychiatrists knew she'd suffered humiliating painful destructive abuses over a long period, that confused her sense of sexuality and ability to communicate. She had not been given what she needed to live, that being: encouragement, conversation, rehabilitation, mentoring and validation. She had been mostly subjected to forced psychiatric drugs and electric shock, as well as humiliating labels. These procedures are not humane, and not helpful. This teenager could've been a worldwide leader in stopping violence against women and children, if she'd been given a mentor who enabled her to grow strong, and not feel the blame, that a victim of crime so often does. But instead, after having her body violated at a young age, she was then further abused by experimental psychiatric poisons and electrocution that any survivor of psychiatry will tell you, do not help, rather make your life so much worse.

Psychiatric interventions disable, they do not enable. Medicine is meant to enable... so why are psychiatrists throughout the world, currently allowed to disable 1.5 billion people? The population really needs to be aware, that this abuse has increased in the millennium, and 9 million people have been directly killed by psychiatric treatments in the millennium. The population isn't aware though, because psychiatry has been forcefully treating people for over 200 years and has a really thorough propaganda machine to make innocent people be victim-blamed. During those two centuries, there's been many people subjected to psychiatry trying to stop further abuse, only small changes have been made over that time, psychiatry is still allowed to torture people 24/7 indefinitely.

There needs to be absolute prohibition on forced treatment and commitment.

There can be no assistance for people wanting to die quickly, while medicine perpetrates such violence against the will of thousands of Australians every year. In Victoria, every year 5700 Compulsory Treatment Orders,  are given to people innocent of crimes, who object to psychiatric drug/ electricity treatments. Most of these people are victims of crime, some of these victims-of crime have taken to court their perpetrators, many of which haven't. The point is, why are victims-of-crime being abused by psychiatry? Why cannot they say no to medicine and be understood, that it is not helping? Why is there not more awareness of the plight of these people who WANT TO LIVE A LIFE FREE FROM THE TORTURE OF PSYCHIATRY?

There can be no euthanasia program, while medicine peddles products that do more harm than good and uses coercive-control measures to force treatments.

The United Nations CRPD must be implemented, so that human rights will not continue to be violated; so, that 5700 Victorians, who currently refuse medical treatment and have it forced on them, will no longer be subjected to that. It is not thinking enough of others, to ask for euthanasia programs, when 5700 plus civilians in Victoria, per year, are being tortured by psychiatry's treatments. To then allow medicine to have those people being tortured to have the option of terminating their lives, is not really thinking enough about the documented horror of torture and how much being under a torturous regime makes a person want to die. Think also of documented euthanasia programs, everyone should well know from T4 Germany. Remember too, that was also called 'care' and 'treatment.'

If people asking for euthanasia, spent their last moments thinking about how-to enable people to be free from such horrendous State endorsed Violence via medicine (particularly psychiatry), then, they might actually be enabled to live through any physical pain they are feeling, before they totally expire, because they would be doing something for humanity. When a person supports the collective, they are in turn given good feelings, via the hub/ hive of our interconnectedness. However, when people just fixate on ending it all, forgetting about other people who would be harmed if it became legal for whitecoats to administer death, then they’ll die horrifically painfully, even if given the ‘death drug’, (Nembutal often takes over 24 hours to act, sometimes longer.)

That said, if all those people wanting euthanasia, can also ask to abolish forced medical treatments, then they will be working towards the path they wish. Until then, those asking for voluntary euthanasia programs are being ridiculously naïve and selfish.

The fruit flies

Involuntary consumption?!

Consumers are people who freely choose to buy something. They not people who are used against their will in diabolical experiments via the psychiatric regime.
I speak as a psychiatric survivor. I find the term ‘consumer’ used for people abused by psychiatry really, really insulting.
Psychiatry’s white-coat horrorshop is a crime against humanity. Quarter of the population have suffered it. It is very hard to speak out against. But we’re hoping for Absolute Prohibition of forced treatment and commitment by June 2016.
http://initiallyno.businesscatalyst.com/blog-ca...

I am experient of the MHS. I never wanted any of their ugly belittling 'services'. I want there to be real support for people in crisis, that makes sense on an individual basis. You know affordable housing, allergy testing, hope, decency, legal assistance, safe places to work through untangling the myriad of horrors and absences in a person's life. Our government wishes to use the term 'consumer' for people who are told (for the most part), when consulted, they have to choose... what would be best out of all the rubbish served up. Meanwhile these 'consumers' pay for the 'medications' they do not want, turn up to appointments to be interrogated as to whether they are compliant with the poisonous 'medications' they do not want, are electrocuted if they refuse 'medications', are locked away indefinitely if they refuse to 'admit they have a mental illness and need to take the medication as prescribed.' Consumers?! Do not call people who are enslaved human laboratory animals 'consumers'.

Free Pamela Spiro Wagner

Free Pamela!

White-coats are torturing Pamela! If you're in her area please give support. Don't let these evil group of thugs call psychiatry kill this beautiful amazing artist.

Free Pamela! ACTIVIST ARTIST CURRENTLY BEING TORTURED.

Pamela Spiro Wagner is an amazing, beautiful political artist who is currently being held prisoner and tortured under the psychiatric regime. For a long time she was only able to communicate through pictures, which is why her pictures of what is, and has been done to her are so precise and telling.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1188585741168785&set=a.583671808326851.143669.100000521105108&type=3&theater

Pamela is asking everyone to write to News@reformer.com to get the media to investigate.

There needs to be world-wide action on this.

The habit of psychiatry to take people forcefully into their laboratories during world-wide holiday season when advocates are not available, must be seriously looked at.

Ugly regime

An ugly mongrel group of people gained authority from my government to threaten me, humiliate me, attempt to brainwash me, then torture me by injecting various chemicals into my blood-stream for nearly 14 years.

I was afraid to speak about who they were lest people judge me, not employ me, or condemn me to further assaults on my body, that could include electrocution and lengthy captivity.

It is an horrific regime that still thrives in my country. Please find a way to stop the cult of psychiatry infiltrating government policy. This regime of terror is not medicine, it is a crime against humanity. It must be stopped. The regime’s propaganda may make you victim-blame, criminalising the innocent (some of psychiatry’s victims are younger than two years old, many are women or teenagers who have been bullied and violently abused.) Try to look beyond what you have had preached to you by psychiatry.

Your silence, is you condemning more people to torture.

Stop massive pollutants entering our foods and water supply

Part of being Green Globally, should be stopping the forced drugging of people. Neuroleptics/ SSRIs enter our water supply, the food we eat, as well as the victims of these crimes against humanity.

If I had $5 billion, stopping psychiatric abuse, and therefore the pollution involved in the psychiatric industries, would enable people, animals and ecosystems to be so much healthier. Why invest in stopping a powerful organisation that does so much harm? Well, the $5 billion could be spent on alternatives such the Finnish Open Dialogue style of communication approaches, that actually enable people to become all they're meant to be. When people can't communicate with others there's a break-down. This often happens when a person is trying to let the rest of the community know that something is wrong. The community at first denies. We can't move towards a green economy, when the community's name is being used to torture people with pollutants, violating them by injecting these psychiatric drugs into their bloodstream. So many creative, innovative ideas have been damaged through psychiatry. The DSM5 more or less diagnoses creativity as a disorder. So many creative minds are being destroyed while in the womb, by psychiatry and the governments that allow it to use force on so many people who have never committed a crime. 50 per cent of Australians have either been forcefully drugged by psychiatry, or persuaded to take psychiatric drugs. Most of these people were going through grief.

Protest? Me? In the street? In Queen Victoria?

Image (c) Initially NO

 

When, I was under my last treatment order, uncertain if I’d ever be able to get off it, placed on a depot injection that left me no possibility of not having the neuroleptics doing their damage to me, during that time, I felt like I was awaiting execution, or rather I was being executed slowly, painfully, every day as the neuroleptics mangled, bashed and eroded my ability, thinking and happiness with constant pain and numbing of physical movement and intellect, uglifying, stupefying – destroying me.

 

Image (c) Initially NO

It’s about decency

It’s about decency, it’s about awareness of the horror that happened, is happening, won’t stop happening until people do something.

Don’t be an a-hole and deny that the psychiatric regime is abuse, is torture to those who have to suffer it and that this must be stopped. Wake up out of your precious little dream that medicine is ‘good’ and ‘healthy’ and that people suffering trauma reactions to various awful things that have happened in their life, are the ones who are ‘sick.’

If you feel sick in the stomach after you see a puppy kicked, you’re not ‘sick’, you’re responding naturally. If someone then says you’re demented for feeling that way, you don’t have validation for your gut reaction to an ugly circumstance.

Think about that next time you utter the term ‘psychosomatic’ and ‘schizophrenia’ and ‘mental illness’. Think about empathy and how that works on the body and how people do react to awful circumstances. Think about things that are repeated traumas that are denied validation. Attempting to speak about such things, after years of being disallowed communication of ‘embarrassing’ violence against you, that accused you of being in the wrong.

Yes, I understand you don’t want to feel sick in the stomach for all the people in Australia that have been abused by psychiatry and are currently being abused, but you might have to, to connect with your authentic empathic self again, after years of denying the truth for fear of being ostracised. To go down a more ‘friendly street’ in life.

In a recent comment I made about the mental-illnessing of Silvia Plath, the following dialogue happened:

Initially NO (December 10, 2013): Until 1973, you had a 'mental illness' if you were homosexual and were treated with the same 'medication' that you wouldn't give to a Zoo animal regularly without damaging your exhibit. Strange that J--- thinks this 'medication' is healthy. Haven't read enough J---, that's your problem. If you don't read, or at least watch some vids by psych survivors your writing will be tossed off the shelf along with Helen Garner's 'Bach's Children's Hour' (which incited hate crimes against children with learning difficulties). If your writing incites further torture of people in crisis, then I'd put you in the same category in a future where such torture is illegal to forcefully conduct. Psychiatrists don't talk J---, they're doctors. Doctors have very bad people skills and Plath wrote about how bad they were at talking, in her time. And, for your info A--- here's a recent Judge's finding: http://m.stuff.co.nz/national/health/9490650/ACC-to-rethink-abuse-link

J---e’s response was to flag my commentary and delete it, then send me a personal message, blocking my ability to reply; she didn’t want to feel sick about the support she’d given the psychiatric regime of terror already: ‘Please don't post your opinions, slander on my page. You know nothing about me and come across as angry and vindictive. You might be more effective by promoting your views in a less aggressive way or working with people who need a willing ear. Think about how you respond as a feeling person when confronted with anger, vitriole, slander and hatred. Listening quietly, patiently without judgement is a rare skill indeed.’

Quite apart from an ‘award winning’ writer not knowing how to spell, I really don’t think backwater, out of date prejudice should be given accolades.

Certainly not a poet I’d want to book.

J--- also had an argument that psychiatric abuse helped stop the suicide rate, and used her dead friend as evidence that psychiatry and mental-illnessing was valid.

‘Australia spent over $6.3 billion on mental health-related services in 2009–10… We spent all this money, and the more we spent the more our suicide rates increased.  More people died – alone and in anguish – by their own hands.  More families were destroyed and left to live with unimaginable pain and grief.  Less money was available to address the real causes of emotional distress and suicide.’

Psychiatric interventions make the suicide rate worse, not better

http://www.madinamerica.com/2014/01/37639/

Let’s walk down a more friendly street and stop the denial, if the people being harmed make you feel sick in the stomach, it’s because you have empathy and don’t want the abuse to continue. Do not misdirect your anger about this abuse at the people suffering because they’re an easier target of blame than the powers of psychiatry. Think of your own healthy conscience in years to come.

And, if you’re a writer, READ something more than pickled prejudice, or your writing will go out of date as quickly as cheese.

Please sign this petition to stop psychiatric abuse in Australia: http://www.outrageinaustralia.com

Na, we don’t have psychiatric abuse in Australia, I mean not often… na, na, na, banana sandwich!

 

Na this only happens in the UK, not Australia. Australians care about human rights, not like those horrible psychiatrists in the UK... you think? http://psychiatricabuseuk.com

Na, that only happens in the USA, not Australia, 'cause Australia has good doctors... yeah like that Patel, only psychiatrists are more commonly good at abusing: http://igotbetter.org/stories/m-james

Na, na psychiatric abuse, it only happens in Soviet countries, we don't have that in a democratic country like Australia. We wouldn't forcefully drug innocent civilians, they must be criminal or sick or, you know, people you don't want to know, that can be tortured over years with major tranquilisers that leave their brains damaged: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1376496/

Na, na all these doctors must be Scientologist, oh Peter Breggin is Jewish? um... oops http://www.stopshrinks.org/reading_room/nacp/nacp.html

Na na we're not like China we don't harvest body parts from unwilling prisoners, Australians go to China and receive them, also Australians go to China to test their new psychiatric drugs... on criminals, you know those awful Falun Gong practitioners! www.jaapl.org/content/30/1/126.full.pdf

Na na Australia doesn’t have any WMDs… only psychiatry http://www.jeffpolachek.com/weaponized-psychiatry/89-clippings-on-psychological-warfare

Na na Australian psychiatrists don’t do cover-ups for paedophiles… do they? http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/psychiatric-report-altered-victim-20130304-2fhad.html

Yeah but, yeah but women are weaker than men that’s why there’s more of them in psychiatric wards… we don’t want them PMSing all over the shop! http://www.balcanicaucaso.org/eng/Regions-and-countries/Croatia/Croatia-suspected-psychiatric-abuse-140944

Stop bothering normal people like us, we don’t want to know about suffering, we just want cheesy-pops and movie-stars who play gangsters so we can identify with… We don’t want to know about human rights abuse that can happen to us… we don’t want to know that ugly stuff is happening, just keep those white doors closed and keep calling it ‘good medicine’ and tell anyone who complains to shut up or you’ll get them medicated again… Eff off if you think psychiatrists did things in Nazi Germany, Freud may’ve drugged and sexually abused his patients, but he was Jewish! Even if there were such things as T4 and white-coats, that’s all over now, that’s in the past… http://www.thestreetspirit.org/August2005/mad.htm

Around 2 million Australians every year are forcefully ‘treated’ by psychiatry (drugging, repeated sessions of electroshock under anaesthetic, psychosurgery...) This forced treatment falls under the definition of torture according to the United Nations, of which Australia is a signature to. Another 2.4 million Australians will be coerced into taking psychiatric treatments and ill-informed about the effects of drugs; many being told by their psychiatrists that the drug-effects are ‘symptoms of mental illness’ and rarely are patients told they need to reduce drugs slowly. ‘Nearly half (45%) of the population will experience a mental disorder at some stage in their lives.’ (SANE Australia) What? Half the Australian population have something wrong with their noggins?! Or… as reported about China… Na na na you say… Australia allows protest, just shut up about psychiatric abuse though, or you’ll be shut up! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xt213y_hundreds-of-thousands-victim-of-psychiatric-abuse-in-china-report_news

 

If  you haven't signed this petition please do and pass it on to everyone who doesn't want to know, care to know, doesn't know enough about what's going on in the world. Give them some intelligence! Don't keep Australia dumb, with 45 per cent of us diagnosed as not thinking like a psychiatrist and therefore needing to be drugging and brainwashed by the acted on threats of coercive-control.

 

AWARENESS IS EVERYTHING. Make it happen!

Sign this petition, it costs you nothing to do that, to give us some respect.

If you want my art, yes, it will cost you, but you can wipe your hands on it!

Wrecking ball

 

I wrote a song called ‘Wrecking ball’ mid-2010. It was a thrash song about wanting the Junction Clinic St. Kilda, to be demolished. I dreamed that some renegades brought a wrecking ball to it in the night. And they needed me to cloak them with a song, so they wouldn’t be detected.

Lots of bar chords, gravelly voice and the feeling that every time I sang it I was getting closer to stopping the atrocities that were still happening to others and threatening to happen to me again.

I guess I’m like anyone who has been abused in a place, the building then becomes an icon of horror and hatred. We want it gone.

I was then forced to spend over a year going back to the Junction Clinic, for depot injections later that year and until the end of 2011. Forced to expose my butt and act like I thought it was all good for me. Then thank who ever put that sickening horrible stuff inside me, after they did it, in hope they’d eventually take me off the CTO and the violations would cease.

My menstrual cycle stopped. I slept 20 hours a day and still felt tired. My face drooped, my body twitched. I couldn’t retain information or read for very long. I couldn’t stand up for long without getting dizzy and falling over. Every day on those drugs was death.

I had to be so careful. I stopped playing songs of rebellion. I didn’t have the energy anyway. I exposed my butt for them to stick their pricks in. And said, ‘I have an epiphany. I realise now I was wrong. You are right Dr. I need to take neuroleptics the rest of my life, I just feel because I’m of a small build I don’t need as much as you’re giving me and I would be able to get up in the morning, rather than the afternoon, so I can get a job, if you lowered my dose a little…’

This affirming of the psychiatrist’s status and demands and nagging paid off eventually. I was let off the CTO in Sept 2011, but kept seeing the psychiatrist, knowing he could put me back on it in a snap, until he felt ready to discharge me to a GP in 2012.

The Junction Clinic moved recently and the place has been converted into apartments. My partner pointed them out as a bargain. And I said, ‘I would live anywhere with you, even live in a tent with you, but if you chose to live there, I’m sorry, but I could not be with you.’

 

In my imagination mid-2010, after the wrecking ball destroyed the Junction Clinic one night as I sang the song to back up the rebellion, people created a memorial on the site, to all those who had died at the hands of Melbourne psychiatrists and illegal government legislation that allows the torture of so many people. I thought that was all that could be made of that building.

 

Anyway, here’s the song I wrote mid-2010. It isn’t sexy, it’s a hard protest song. The word kiss in it, is more like the slang term ‘Scottish kiss’ and the love is just the love of seeing a monster destroyed and a people saved from its eyesore. I think the trouble with any kind of dream of destruction, it lends itself to looking violent. I didn’t want to look at all, in any way scary or threatening to anyone after being put on a CTO. I was sorry for existing, for asserting the need for things to change. I was being condemned for every tiny thing I did. I knew singing a song like that was evidence of me being wrong Being condemned for protesting against psychiatry and society’s cruel acceptance of the regime, meant I had no way to defend myself, for fear of being condemned and punished more than I had been with higher doses and other torture procedures such as electro-shock, which they called and still call ‘therapeutic’.

I realise now that, there were many other things I misdirected during 2010 including talking absurd parallels, making accusations that were incorrect, and while they were poetic truths, they were not direct truths. ‘Wrecking Ball’ actually had a focus, that was reasonable. I had been repeatedly violated in that building, of course it made sense that I felt the need to wreck it, as it had wrecked me. And I only did it through song. So what was the huge problem? Well, the Junction Clinic was, not me. But I got blamed for the upset it caused me.

I may have a recording somewhere, but I may not have recorded it being performed. Still remember the tune of the chorus though:

 

Wrecking ball

© Initially NO

Blast and damn blast and damn

Where are you now

I had you in my clutches

Now I’ve lost you in the mist

You’re being kissed

By a wrecking ball

By the wreck of all those things

You love to destroy.

And taken into sound

Of what people seek

When they’re in love

With the smashing energy

Of a building crashing down.

It was never meant to be

Never meant to exist

It’s smashing down

It’s smashing down

That building’s smashing down.

 

Don’t bleed me again

There’s no love in it

Only love in destroying it

That building’s smashing down

That building’s smashing down

Blast and damn blast and damn

Where are you now

I had you in my clutches

Now I’ve lost you in the mist

You’re being kissed

By a wrecking ball

By the wreck of all those things

You love to destroy.

Blast and damn blast and damn

Where are you now

All gone away

All gone away

All gone away.

 

When there are so many things going on that are wrong, it is hard to recognise that doctors can be wrong too. We want to trust someone. I broke my left pinkie while playing football at 18 and told the GP it was broken ,and he said, 'It's just a sprain'. It wasn't but for a month I believed him and it healed crookedly, according to the hospital staff that x-rayed it. So, after that, I took what arrogant doctors said, with a grain of scepticism.
           The heroic Sinead O'Conner has come to a similar conclusion about psychiatric diagnosis and drugs. I felt she would eventually, she didn't seem to altogether 'Wax' with them in other years. But then, she had so many other issues in Ireland and personal life to think about, that recognising malpracticing doctors would've been too hard to deal with. It's hard when those who are meant to help, are doing outrageous harm to you.

 

 

Government money saving suggestion

The drain on the economy, is the backward government subsidised profession of psychiatry

I think if governments could stop spending money forcing psychiatric drugs on unwilling people and stop paying psychiatrists’ wages, the country could save so much, and they would be stopping psychiatric abuse and complying with International Laws against torture.

Apart from the obvious human-rights abuses that occur with these forced psychiatric treatments (brain-damage, damage to nervous system etc) people who are on psychiatric drugs have to sleep long hours that make getting up for work impossible, using machinery/ driving hazardous... Enable them rather than disable them, I say, and they're part of the workforce, contributing to making a healthy economy.

A crisis doesn't have to last a person's lifetime. It usually does when a person's trauma gets called a 'mental illness', a 'disease', as nonsense...

Change the law by complying with international agreements Australia has signed. That doesn't cost anything, so, what is the problem? Why can’t governments like Australia comply with decency and not experiment, torture and dehumanise people in crisis?

There is a matter of biopsychiatrists losing their jobs or having to retrain in other professions, where they don't need to be compassionate, caring, or helping another. But, redundancy happens in a lot of professions. Why should psychiatrists be immune when they aren't competitive, or meeting the consumer's needs, rather violating them?

The drain on the economy is psychiatrists, not those people psychiatrists are allowed to use violently as 'subject matter'. Unfortunate psychosocial situations, transgenerational trauma and suffering the social prejudice of others, are not diseases! But it is useful to hospital projects that they can use this term ‘disease’. It invokes fear in the population, that word.

People lose confidence when going through crisis and they can't get jobs, when they are falsely labelled by psychiatry. Active discrimination happens all the time, as people can 'tell' you're on psych drugs, or 'something', Tardive Dyskinesia makes you look like you've been in psychiatric hospital... Active discrimination happens for anything people don't understand.

There are better options to give people in crisis, so give them. Further abuse, via biopsychiatry of people alienated and traumatised, never helps. At the moment, the current system that 'cares' for those going through internal dilemmas, is one of further accusation and damning of that person, rarely validating horrific crimes people have suffered. I want this kind of biopsychiatry to stop ruling people's lives with its cruel regimes of torturous 'treatments’, its threats, accusations and damning of human lives.

Push people into corners and they do what they do to fight. Stop psychiatric abuse, ie forced drugging and electroshock and start allowing people to exist. It's not easy to get a flat that won't be invaded by the CAT team. It's not easy to get any shelter for long, without that invasion occurring, if perceived 'necessary', when it's not. Just because a person is talking usual experiences, doesn’t mean that person should be used by psychiatrists for inhumane experiments.

People who are abused, do what they can to cope, and of course they're angry. Psychiatry has tortured them, and their society doesn't even recognise that as abuse, calls it 'care'. That’s not okay. If you’re a person who has been saying that, please realise where you have been going wrong and change your unthinking attitude. The sooner people start listening, rather than reciting propaganda, the better. So, please get better!

Australian politicians who want to stop psychiatric abuse

I have narrowed this search down to my electorate, Melbourne Ports, this includes all the Senate candidates for Victoria, but only the House of Reps for Melbourne Ports, for the Sept 2013 election.

If anyone from other areas wants to collaborate or comment on their area, with candidates who are going to do something about stopping forced-drugging, electro-shock and other psychiatric abuse, I would be most interested.

That said, I am aware that the Socialist Alliance has this written on their website, ‘The Socialist Alliance will guarantee patients' control by legislating the right of access to all information required for informed consent; the right to appoint a legal guardian of a patient's choice; the right to choose or refuse medical treatment; the right to choose contraception appropriate to the patient and abortion as required. Hospitals to be forced to admit their surgical, pharmacological and other nosocomial mistakes as a matter of due process.’

            This sounds promising, but they are not running in either Senate for Victoria, or House of Reps in Melbourne Ports. They are, however, running in other electorates.

 

These are the replies I got for my electorate in regards to stopping psychiatric abuse:

'Hi Initially,

Thanks and this was brought to my attention prior to last (2010) election. We are most definitely against such forced treatments. I seem to recall we put out a media release against it at the time. My own Solicitor had been involved in legal cases, representing those forced to undergo such treatment against their will.

Please do your best to spread the word and get our vote up.

It will be simple for voting the Liberal Democrats into the Senate for NSW; we drew number 1 on the ballot paper!

Thanks,'

'Dear Sir,

As a fellow sufferer of occasional but debilitating bouts of depression, I am fully supportive of your strong desire to end abuse.

The resurgent Australian Democrats and I will do whatever it takes to end this old-fashioned method of playing with people's human rights and then promote successful, modern Scandinavian techniques.

My name is Richard Grummet and I am 1 of 6 candidates on the ballot paper for the Australian Democrats in Victoria.

In the spirit of our founder Don Chipp, we intend to "Keep the Bastards Honest" - particularly on this crucial human rights issue - if elected.

But we need your help to get back into the Senate somewhere in Australia in 10 days time.

With only 2% of the vote and the right preference flows we will do it - but we need the no.1 above the line vote of you and your friends on the Senate ballot paper Australia - wide.

Please let me know ASAP - if we can do more.

Yours Sincerely,'

Richard Grummet.

Australian Democrats


(Also in The Democrats' health policy they list the right to choose or refuse medical care and

'consumer involvement in the development and provision of health care services, policies and programs'

'Hi Initially NO,

I am coming to this Senate election from running my own small business and hope to contribute in a practical way. My background and starting interests are on the website at www.bobnicholls.com.au

I am not aware of the problems that you raise but could look into it at  a later time, if for no other reason than people being afforded dignity and respect.

I do have as one of my goals (see website) to look into mental health as a root cause of many of our society’s ills. This is all I can offer to you at this stage.

If you feel strongly on this, please keep pushing everyone. We should all have passion for something.

 

Regards,'

'Dear Initially No,

The WLP is a party of transparency, accountability and justice.  We are against unnecessary interference with the liberty of the subject. This would include unwarranted intrusions into peoples' health on spurious scientific grounds.  While we do not have a specific platform on forced drugging and electro-shock, rest assured that the senators, once elected, will ensure that whole sectors of society, including psychiatric practice, will come up for scrutiny and exposure, as it arises.

 

Kind regards,'

‘Hi Initially,

Senator Online believe as I do that the community has a right to have their voice heard in the Senate. For too long we have heard  Politicians from both sides of the divide, tell us what they think is best for the Community. A vote for SOL will give the voice to the people. Should the majority of the community agree with any particular issue, then they will be supported by SOL.

We are not a traditional political organisation with policies that are influenced by party politics, or by vocal minorities, or subject to doing "deals". We are about putting the voice of the majority above special interest groups. We will be the voice of the silent majority!!

The Party is proactive.

• SOL will promote and submit Bills to Parliament as they are supported by a clear majority of the public. 

• You will be able to cast a vote and influence Bills in Parliament directly through the Senator Online Website or App.

• SOL will provide balanced information and the pros and cons on each Bill. You will have clear awareness of what is going on in Parliament, enabling you to engage and act.

• In the future, you will be able to collaboratively create and vote on Bills with other members of the public through a "wiki".

SOL MPs and Senators will submit Bills that are supported by the clear majority of their constituency.

• We stand for giving the public a clear voice on each and every Bill and important issue, putting "democratic" back in democracy and making the deliberations universally accessible. We believe in providing people with the opportunity to have their voice heard on every Bill and issue that is being debated in Parliament.

• Equally importantly, we stand for the power of informed debate. By using the unmatched "enabler" of information — the internet — we seek to prompt informed debate on the issues that are important to the majority of Australians.

Our policies will be determined by the clear majority view of Australians. In the future, you will be able to collaboratively develop and vote on Bills with other members of the public through a "wiki".

SOL is best described as a directional party, that will aid our government.

 

Please go to our website www.senatoronline.org.au, and see how this will work’

Initially,

'Our overall policy (http://greens.org.au/equality-everyone) states as follows:

 PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE

Whether in prison, immigration detention or psychiatric facilities, people held in detention are particularly powerless and vulnerable.  The Greens believe that all detainees have a right to be treated humanely and with dignity.

The Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT) is an international agreement designed to protect people in detention from cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. It ensures that these facilities can be independently monitored and inspected. We will commit $15 million over the next four years to ratify the convention and protect the vulnerable in detention.

With regard to more specifics regarding psychiatric forced treatment . I will forward your email onto our relevant Senator, Penny Wright  who is our mental health spokesperson

Regards,'

‘Hi Initially

 

Thanks for your email.

As you probably know, Greens Senator Richard Di Natale is a medical doctor and has been responsible for many important initiatives - re preventative health, problem gambling, junk food.

I am not aware of any specific actions re abuse, but in general the Greens work and policies on mental health issues is very strong and supportive, standing up for more funding and some important specific initiatives.

Apart from the refugees health initiative that you mentioned, we have also recently called for better rural mental health funding, see http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-21/greens-mental-health-policy/4901766.

extending the mental Health Nurse Incentive program, and additional services for care in the community too.  Here are links to our platform http://www.greens.org.au/platform and our health policy, it http://greens.org.au/policies/health.

We are so pressed for time, I hope that gives you an idea of the party values and aims, even if I have not addressed your specific concerns.

Take care and Best wishes’

Ann Birrell

Greens candidate for Melbourne Ports

I am surprised with this miniscule result in return replies.

Those against psychiatric torture regimes comprise of at least 5% of the vote. This could be a major win for a party or independant. Those who are ignorant and could be made aware of this major abuse of human-rights, comprise of more than 20% of the vote.

Psychiatric survivors, activists, compassionate individuals, those diagnosed and incarcerated in hospitals for no crime… our voice needs to be heard, recognised, validated and the horror of psychiatric abuse needs to stop. We have the United Nations backing us. Why do Australian political parties that have policies regarding human-rights claim such ignorance of what happens on their doorstep? of what can happen to anyone who goes through trauma, crisis who doesn’t get enough support and validation for their suffering?

Do politicians not know how cruel toxic drugs such as neuroleptics are, that shut down neurotransmitters so a youthful person feels like they have Alzheimer’s, so they twitch uncontrollably, sleep most of the day? Can’t they imagine how horrible it is to lose your memory during the 40 or so bouts of ECT that a psychiatrist recommends and forces on individuals without their consent?

Psychiatric abuse needs to stop. I want parties who will back us, who advertise this policy to stop psychiatric abuse properly. I want politicians who are loud and clear that they will stop force-drugging, electro-shock and other invasive procedures. It will be a major win for whoever does this. Whoever goes into hospitals and lets those being tortured by psychiatrists know that they should vote, because their party is going to stop the horror of psychiatric abuse.

I am surprised so many Australians still believe that biological psychiatry, is the social-psychiatry of Hollywood movies. No, psychiatrists rarely talk or listen to patients, they mandate, brainwash and forcefully drug and electrocute. They forcefully inject and electrocute  those grieving the loss of their loved-ones, with major tranquilisers, that cause brain-damage and other disabling. It is not okay to do this to asylum seekers, Greens, hint, hint... I want clarity on that, that you will not send psychiatrists to forcefully drug refugees, like you have promised to do. They are people who have obviously been through trauma and adversity, they are detained and suffering, they are in crisis, they need to talk with people would are empathetic, who listen and enable them to have courage to live, who are trustworthy professionals that will help anchor their crisis in some sort of consensual reality, that allows for diversity. People that will give them hope and ways to cope, so they don't despair and wonder what reality actually is. They are people who really don't need their minds policed by psychiatrists, who will forcefully torture them with drugs and electro-shock, then demand that they agree that they are 'mentally ill' and need to take the 'recommended dose of meds' that is harming them unendurably. That's what psychiatrists do, they don't listen, they experiment and police diversity, unless they specifically state that they are social-psychiatry, that they do psychoanalysis and only prescribe drugs when a patient really wants that. Understand that pollies!
