Psychiatry is not medicine or science but a religion. I do not believe in the religion of psychiatry. I do not wish to be forced to practise the religion of psychiatry or to pay for it. The psychiatric hegemony has arisen and exists in the developed world for political not medical reasons. "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -C.S.Lewis https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL637147F8B2990E57 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm77RQdtpSY The use of haloperidol as a long-acting neuroleptic in game capture operations. Hofmeyr JM. Abstract Haloperidol (R1625, Serenace) a potent, long-acting butyrophenone neuroleptic, was shown to be very effective in game capture operations for the neuroleptization of several species of African wild herbivores, especially the medium and small antelopes. With a rapid onset of action following intravenous injection and a duration of action of 10-12 h in the majority of cases, haloperidol produced profound pyschomotor effects and remarkable tractability in red hartebeest, blesbok, springbok, duiker, steenbok and dik dik. Haloperidol suppressed the alarm reaction and facilitated the large-scale handling and translocation of captured animals. It also produced favourable sedation in Hartmann's zebra, Burchell's zebra, tsessebe and Black-faced impala. Extrapyramidal effects were observed in some species. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6122740 "A few weeks ago Barack Obama justified the release of a report on the activities of the US in torturing suspects in the war on terror, saying that it was important that the truth come out. Things had to change. What the US had done should not be repeated – because “this is not who we are.” And because the data shows it doesn’t work. What did we do? Well, among other things we borrowed some tricks from the Soviets and used the akathisia that psychotropic drugs can cause to torture suspects into submission. We have great reason to suspect that much of the violence linked to psychotic patients that sparks popular calls to lock these people up is triggered by the exact same drugs." http://www.madinamerica.com/2015/01/war-civilization-happen-patients-radicalize/ “There are multiple reports from Soviet dissidents, including medical staff, on the use of haloperidol in the Soviet Union for punitive purposes or simply to break the prisoners’ will. Notable dissidents that were administered haloperidol as part of their court ordered treatment were Sergei Kovalev and Leonid Plyushch.” https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/soviet-psychiatric-drug-for-dissidents-given-to-us-patients/ "In his landmark book, Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin quotes Leonid Plyushch, a scientist and political dissenter in the USSR, who escaped to the US: “[In a Soviet prison, after dosing with a small amount of Haldol] I was horrified to see how I deteriorated intellectually, morally and emotionally from day to day. My interest in political problems quickly disappeared, then my interest in scientific problems, and then my interest in my wife and children.” https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/soviet-psychiatric-drug-for-dissidents-given-to-us-patients/ "Here is a quote from the 2012 edition of Virtual Mentor, the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics. It concerns a pharmaceutical ad that ran in the May 1974 issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry: “…in the ad, an angry African American man shakes his fist menacingly…the text above the image…’Assaultive and belligerent?’ ‘Cooperation often begins with Haldol.’” Yes it does. Cooperation begins with the the torture delivered by Haldol." https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/soviet-psychiatric-drug-for-dissidents-given-to-us-patients/
