Do Australians want to harm or help?

'The majority of Aussies want to help, not harm,' Says Australian Greens Party. Yet, that same party doesn't say anything to stop forced psychiatry, or even about implementing the United Nations CRPD, yet claims to be about human rights and the environment. The AU Greens Party instead focuses on overseas issues, which deserve empathy, but when you realise that their leader is a whitecoat, and AMA President is also pretending to act in refugee interests, you got to know what is not being said here, and that's that traumatised people regularly get used by whitecoats in horrible experiments against their will, because of the Mental Health Acts, in Australia. People have 'medicine' forced on them. In the cases of psychiatry, it is not medicine, it is torture. And I know that, because I experienced 14 years of it. I didn't profit by it, but the psychiatrists who used me in their experiments no doubt got various pharmaceutical grants to do what they did to me, as well as HUGE salary from the Australian Tax-payer.

Dr. Peter Gøtzsche calls psychiatry 'organised crime'. And it is, very organised, but it is also worse than any religious abuses, or even military violence, because it is endorsed by our government as 'care'. And the public believe this, because they are so gullible and have been used to psychiatry's 'care' euphemisms for over 200 years, but the real meaning of that use of that term 'care' for torturing a person 24/7 indefinitely with chemical & electrical lobotomies, has eluded them.

Are Australians empathetic to people being subjected to State Violence? Not in my experience. They're mostly hypnotised by propaganda and instead of putting the monsters on trial, they victim-blame.

So, empathy depends on what sort of propaganda people have swallowed. And apparently, depends if people are forced/ coerced into taking antidepressants, this makes them lose empathy for their fellow human beings. http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/27/12044356/rats-empathy-frontiers-in-psychology-university-of-chicago-peggy-mason

If those same people that swallowed a small amount of antidepressants, smoke, alcohol etc... were subjected to forced psychiatry and injected with neuroleptics against their will, they might feel different, but be too frightened to dare say anything.

Psychiatry harms and does not help, yet next to NOTHING is said about that, on TV, or even community radio, the only space for psychiatric regime survivors to tell the truth of what happened to them (if they dare) is the internet.

Politicians, lawyers, judges and the general population allow the torture of 6 million Australian citizens via State Violence, then Medical Doctors advocate to bring in in traumatised refugees so whitecoats can torture them via the psychiatric regime as well.

“I will renounce my Australian citizenship and return to the chaos of Iran to escape the torture at the hands of these doctors.  I am still shocked at the culture of abuse in Australia's so-called mental health care. I feel sick in my stomach waiting for their poison to hit my brain every time they inject me" said Saeed Dezfouli.   

A political party that says it is about human rights, yet supports forced psychiatry, isn’t about human rights, it’s about a medical racket. I worked that out in 2013.

If a party is run by a Medical Doctor, who doesn’t say anything about stopping forced psychiatry, I’m putting it last. The only whitecoats that are decent are the ones who speak out against the crimes of their colleagues. The rest, are utter slime. https://youtu.be/iTQ4t7RmyfM

Voting this Saturday for Australians?

For psychiatric regime survivors we have two senators who actively have got policies to stop forced psychiatry.

They are:

Glenn Floyd, Independent Senate Candidate for Victoria www.glennfloyd.org

& Terese Van Lieshout, Australian Peoples Party , NSW http://australianpeoplesparty.net/

This is a Civil Rights Movement. It starts small, then everyone is on board, and trying to forget that they were ever so cruel as to victim-blame their fellow citizens who were unfortunate enough to be enslaved by psychiatry.

We must end forced psychiatry in 2016. We cannot let this go on.

Get on Community Radio, for a start, don’t let those appointed the position to chatter mentally-ill you, or try to tell you that you belong to some religion that you don’t. Let them know they’re being bigots, and had better sharpen up. And if they do the whole whitecoat mentally-illing routine, let them know that their bullying is being recorded, and they’ll regret being so abusive, and so will their grandchildren.

We’re putting the monsters on trial. No more victim-blaming.

I want to survive this regime. I want Australia to survive this regime. It must end in 2016.

If anyone tries to tell me, that forced psychiatry is good for the person who suffers it, I say they are evil, totally evil. Go rot in hell if you think the torture I went through from psychiatry was ‘help’ you ugly monsters. Go rot in the hell of your cruel, cowardly ignorance and abuse. You have to live with yourself for saying nothing and allowing the whitecoats to continue their butchery, you have to live with yourself.

Victorian psychiatry (Australia) - it belongs in the Victorian era!

In Australia, there's a state called Victoria. That's where I live, it has the highest per capita, enforced psychiatric violence in the world. Victorian psychiatry hasn't changed much since the Victorian era.

Peter Gøtzsche, MD, writes of Victoria's psychiatric regime, in Abolishing Forced Treatment in Psychiatry is an Ethical Imperative 'Garth's family recently moved to another state and took him with them, thus evading the reach of the Victorian Mental Health Act. He is currently being treated as an out-patient on low doses of medication, with no ECT. His family report that his mental state has never been better. Despite the dire claims of his former treating psychiatrists, he has absolutely no signs of psychosis.'

And most tellingly, for the Australian tax payer, 'Niall McLaren has never used ECT. While he was head of department for a total of eight years at two Australian hospitals, ECT wasn’t used at all (McLaren, personal communication). He didn’t bar it, simply made it more difficult for his staff to use it, as they had to justify it by showing there was no alternative. At the same time, the admission rate to the hospital dropped, the average duration of stay dropped and the bed occupancy rate dropped by as much as half. In both hospitals, some time after his appointments had expired and he had moved, ECT was resumed and the bed occupancy rate quickly rose again.' (Peter Gøtzsche, MD)

People must see, it imperative that this Federal Election of 2016, psychiatry must be voted out, and most particularly Victoria.

As Peter Breggin, MD writes, Forced 'Treatment' is Torture, 'Torture often has a straightforward goal—to break the victim’s will and to intimidate others who fear that torture will also be inflicted on them.  Anyone who has worked or been a patient on a psychiatric ward has witnessed daily attempts to break the will of patients by limiting their freedom and activities, treating them like children, making threats, using physical restraint and isolation, and ultimately inflicting drugs and electroshocks that render the individual helpless. The most profound impact of neuroleptic (antipsychotic) drugs is to render the individual indifferent, apathetic and docile; but the drugs commonly continue to inflict physical and mental torment.'

I have quoted two humane medical doctors here, who are outraged by their colleagues and wish to end this oppressive regime of forced psychiatry, that has no place in a decent society.

I've been writing to all the politicians, in hope that I could get major parties on board in understanding that this horror, that is the tax payer funded psychiatric regime.

I've asked our current PM, who spoke on TV about funding psychiatry, in the flawed understanding that it would stop people from suiciding on the splendid bridge with a view near his residence. I hope he is able to start understanding that suicide is caused by forcing psychiatric drugs.


'Malcolm Turnball -
Why haven't even started to implement the United Nations CRPD as promised, signed & ratified in 2013?

Victims of assault are still being medicalised by psychiatry & suffering forced treatments that harm & do not help.

Do you not know that psychotropic drugs are the cause suicide on your local bridge?

Side-effect 'suicide' on the drug websites!

Would you be open to some education for government officials from psychiatric survivors?

Then I asked another, similar, video question HERE

In my attempts to gain some kind of understanding from politicians, I'm left with only two politicians that openly want to abolish forced psychiatry.
In the NSW Senate, that's Terese Van Lieshout, APP

In Victoria, that's: Glenn Floyd, Independent

That said, I did come across, the Health Australia Party (HAP), that agree that medicine should never be forced.

I am hoping for more solid support for stopping forced & coerced psychiatric treatments, however, I have not received those exact words that give total validation to the harm I and so many psychiatric survivors have suffered, and support and hope for those people still be used as enslaved human laboratory animals by Victoria's horrific Mental Health Act 2014.

The Health Australia Party is once again, the upper house vote, Senate, that's all.

I don't know who to vote for in the lower-house, all I've got is Labor, Liberal, Greens and a pharmacist Independent. None of them, so far, have supported stopping forced psychiatry, in fact they've gone out on a limb to support whitecoats and their horrible torture of us.

There's reasons that parties need to be brave. People subjected to forced psychiatry, who complain about the horrible treatment, don't even get air-play on Community Radio. Instead, all that is allowed are those people who play psychiatry's pet parrots. Even MDs like Peter Gøtzsche, get cut off in 5 minutes by our radio stations, when they validate the suffering of those being abused by the psychiatric regime. TV is very much the same. Internet, however, psychiatric survivors are somewhat free there.


I was encouraged last year Dr. Rachel Carling-Jenkins (DLP Upper House member in Victoria) asked a question about the forced use of Electro Convulsive Therapy. 'My question is directed to Ms Mikakos in her capacity representing the Minister for Mental Health, Martin Foley, and concerns the administration of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) without informed consent. One advocate became so concerned about the increasing incidence of ECT administered to his son that he appealed directly to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A reply from the director of the human rights treaties division directed, and I quote:

"Under ... the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ... the state party has been requested [to] take all necessary measures to ensure the suspension of the forced ... (ECT) to Garth Daniels, while his case is under consideration by the [UN] committee."

'While I recognise that it is not Victoria which is a direct signatory to the UN convention, this is still a serious directive. Despite this, Mr Daniels continues to be given ECT against his express wishes. What will the minister do to ensure that serious directives such as this are addressed at a state level?'

The question was dismissed, as something that could not be commented on. 'The privacy of the patient' cited as a reason, was unreasonable, and really just a fob off to protect whitecoats and whitecoterie ministers. Garth continued to be tortured until he and his family moved from the state of Victoria to another state.

I'm hoping the population and all our politicians will eventually see sense and enable the people currently enslaved by psychiatry, as human laboratory specimens, to be free.

Australia must stop enslaving & torturing civilians through Internationally illegal Mental Health Laws.

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’

Lloyd Taylor

Senator Online Candidate - Victoria

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,'

Victorian Greens Lead Senate Candidate

‘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!

Attorney-General's Department: Stop psychiatric abuse and gain an apology for it ever having occurred
