Municipal Enquirer/Stand-Up Mad
Now, though my fellow psychiatrized will not get the same thing out of this page as the local yokels do, (since a friend in Germany or Australia etc. does not know any of these people), the locals DO know them, even without names and locations. I am sure they will find it more interesting when they hear themselves being mentioned and all the acting out they do regarding me from MY point of view, which they still seem to believe is mysteriously ‘hidden’ from me.
So this is now going to be a sort of Municipal Enquirer type blog page with a stand-up comedy sort of attitude to it. This is how I am going to mock and ridicule the mocking and ridiculing “normies” in a full circle kind of way. (not that they do that of course!)
Now remember readers; if you are a local and ‘think’ I am ‘talking about you’, even though I did not actually ‘say your name’, don’t make the mistake of ‘whining and complaining’ about it like us whack jobs do, as you too may be getting some ‘help’ with your personality disorders just like we have.
There are four possible ‘symptoms’ right in the above statement so stay sharp and keep a wary eye open for the “help.” Your own diagnosis is just a symptom or two away so be very cautious about what you say in public or an A.C.T. team member may be in your home assessing the crap out of you and your life, as it is perceived by your neighbours or perhaps the sales associate at the dollar store, before you ever know what hit you.

| My Friend Will Hall: Taking the Backlash |
05/16/2009 |
I wanted to say this Newsweek article is really good. It is also on the newstands now for the week of May 11 to 18, 2009.
Will Hall, a longtime Internet community connection of mine, is very brave to be so out there in public like this as I also know that to do so in today’s atmosphere of bio psychiatry, A.C.T. teams and forced drugging is taking a dangerous stance with his 'dangerous gift' which can be very risky on a personal level. I still believe that if more of us can manage to take such chances that things will change despite the system’s resistance to it. I even believe there will be less people experiencing psychosis in the first place if there is LESS pressure applied to them. External stressors are very often, in my opinion, the cause of the problem which the system is trying to ‘cure.’
It is the public that needs to hear another side of the same kind of experience so that the very stilted perspective they get on it now will not be accepted unquestioned.
The emotional connection Will made to the writer of the piece, so that she could see the SIMILARITY between 'us' and 'them' is a very important one. More important I believe than most people understand. I am aiming at something similar here in my own locale in Canada, as much of what gets psychiatrized in one person is routinely ‘overlooked’ or seen as ‘normal’ in those who are not psychiatrized. Yet the public for the most part does not even NOTICE this. It needs to be pointed out and Will is very good at doing that in a way that gets accepted, at least by some, who then begin to think about it in a slightly different way and realize the psychiatrized have something to say that needs to be heard.
Will was among the first people to connect to me personally when I got on line in 2002, or 3, for the first time, and my respect for him and his efforts on behalf of himself and others has grown since then also. These community connections, though existing in cyberspace with it's limits, provided me with a sense of community I did not have concretely and I am sure such feelings of similar experience with others did much to speed up my own recovery and re-integration process. I would say you Will is likely one of my all time favourites among the ‘mad’ (not counting myself of course!) and among the 'non mad' as well. As far as people saying they would not be near someone like him off medication, let me tell you something. if someone offered me a choice between being locked up in a room with Will Hall off drugs and being locked up in a room with some of the non psychiatrized here on the SAME drugs, I would choose Will without hesitation or doubt, over these more 'normal' others who are often considered by psychiatry to be saner and 'less ill.'
Keep talking Will. Things are changing.

Splitting Formula for Sustained Dysfunction
The people who I think are talking about me, are talking about me while believing they are somehow hidden in plain sight. Since they are hiding in plain sight, they conclude they are not the people who are talking about me and the people I think are talking about me must be some other people, and not them. In fact, the people I am talking about, must be some imaginary people I only 'think' I see and hear, because I am crazy. Since I am obviously crazy then, the people I think are talking about me, in my presence, can keep right on talking about me, as I am so crazy I will not know they are talking about me anyway.

Ontario Provincial Police
Warns Public About Website
March 2010
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in cooperation with the Ontario Corrections Intelligence Unit are warning the public about certain criminal websites possibly being used by thieves to break into your home when you are away. These websites used by criminals are linked to popular social networking websites. On these social networking websites (which are legitimate) you can update your profile to inform your friends as to when you are away from your residence and for how long. Certain criminal websites extracts this information and posts it on its pages and informs their users in any part of the world which houses are empty and at what times. When you consider how many millions of people use social networking websites around the world, the effects can be huge. The public is reminded that items posted on social networking websites are available to all on the web and not all persons on the web are “friends”. Please restrict what you put on your networking page(s) including photos of your residence/address, photos of vehicles including plate numbers and any up to the minute information as to your whereabouts, keep that for your local friends/people you know personally.

The First Delusion
The I/thou splitting of experience.
The first delusion and it is an increasingly common one, is that one is not an equal participant in life but rather an ‘objective observer’ of ‘others.’
Of course if the psychiatrized even suggest such a thing as ‘objective observation’ of others is true for them, they get an increase in medication too reduce their grandiosity.
Psychiatrists, on the other hand, are actually trained to adopt and embrace this attitude and belief right away along with emotional detachment and reductionism. We refer to the skewed results of this as ‘the clinical gaze.’
Once this I/thou splitting is accepted and takes psychological hold of those employing it, those under it’s spell fail to see, hear or understand any longer that , “That which you are observing is also observing you.”
We have always been there. Where have YOU been ‘taken’ so that you could not see us or hear us right in front of you?

Just Like Diabetes
So how many diabetics would you police services say you have to pick up and take to the emergency rooms every year? Do you have to cuff, or taser, a lot of these people always whining and complaining about their high blood sugar and/or insulin overdoses? You would think they would be grateful wouldn’t you, about all the help they are getting?

Third Party Assessments
Why would people, including some we don’t know, who don’t know us, talk about us disparagingly, right in front of us like we aren’t really there?
Well the belief from the ‘normal’ others’ perspective seems to go something like this:
It is OK if we talk about her right in front of her because she is stupid and/or crazy and will not understand what we are talking about anyway. At times, oblivious to their own irrationality, they even SAY that while I am standing there looking at them.
We whack jobs often think they are doing it on purpose because we don’t believe it is possible for people to be so stupid as to be that unaware of themselves, or us.
I just got a little fridge magnet to remind me of this groupthink routine which says,
“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”
I will try to lower my expectations so that I will not make that mistake again.

Self Promotion
One cannot appeal to the conscience of a sociopath as this is not what motivates him/her.
What motivates him/her is total self interest and all s/he does and says is with that end in mind. Therefore, the only way to stop one acting out for his/her own gain is to make it more personally beneficial to him/her to do so, than to continue along in his/her ‘game.’
The same sort of thing applies to witnesses. If it costs them MORE to conceal the truth than it does to tell it, they will tend to co-operate out of self interest, not guilt or ethics, but out of the same things which motivated many of them to conceal the truth in the first place. It is all about them.

Some of us who get targeted by 'Power' in situations where it seems there is no escape possible, have no choice but to crawl through a whole pile of other people's shit to make it out the other side. Now, what do you suppose I mean by that?
Let me 'enlighten' you. by asking again...'est-hole'? Have you ever read the Shawshank Redemption?..
I AM Godot....Godot waits for no one....
