It was [doctor] al-Zawahiri, trained in Cairo, who convinced bin Laden to establish al Qaeda. ... [During an interview], al-Zawahiri claimed credit for the attacks [while] bin Laden sits beside the doctor, muttering to himself while caressing his beard. The exact methods utilized by al-Zawahiri to influence bin Laden are as yet unknown. But more than one source has reported that the doctor, is also a psychiatrist. ... bin Laden has been been know to take psychiatric drugs, or anti-anxiety pills. ... Freedom [Magazine] found the influence of psychiatrists, psychologists, and their methods in terrorist groups to be strong and pervasive.The video goes on and on, digging deeper into their pile of imagined plots and conspiracies and other manure.
Techniques of drug-induced mind control were already being tested by North American Psychiatrists fifty years ago... [in] experiments conducted under the aegis of the U.S. Intelligence Agencies. One aspect of such experiments was to find the exact combination of drugs, hypnosis, and other forms of psychiatric and psychological methods, to produce individuals who could be programmed to commit acts of violence, including assassination.By the end, they've condemned them all: The entire psychiatric profession seems to be to blame for all terrorism worldwide. If you believed this drivel, you'd be convinced that getting rid of terrorism would require nothing more than rounding up all of the psychiatrists and psychologists. Wars would stop, terrorists would recover from their drug-induced stupor and go back to being normal, productive citizens. They even drag Hitler and the Holocaust into the act, claiming that psychiatrists were behind the Nazi regime and the atrocities of WWII.
It would be funny if it weren't for the collateral damage the Scientologists' cause. Their anti-psychiatry conspiracy theories have prevented more than one person from getting adequate help, including some recent high-profile cases.
It seems ridiculous that they criticise this when what they do is use psychological tools to brainwash people.
ReplyDeleteThose damned $cientologists make me sick to my stomach.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a religion, its a complete money making scam.
I've read the now mysteriously out of print 'Bare faced Messiah' and also 'A piece of Blue sky' that reveal Hubbard to be the slobbering maniac he really was.
You probably will get $cientologists on this blog now trying to discredit your efforts.
Its an evil cult based on taking huge sums of cash from its victims and offering nothing in return.
I find their text 'Dianetics-the modern science of mental health' to be oxymoronic to say the least. If it is a science then open it to scientfic rigour.
Psychiatry has offered more to humanity than $cientology ever could.
