Another link in the SSRI violence chain..

Was just reading the Globe and Mail (yeah I am masochistic, but this arthritis is making sleep an elusive beast!). That aside I came across this interesting article:

Psychiatric Drugs in Water Make Fish Bolder

Normally, perch are shy and hunt in schools. This is a known strategy for survival and growth. But those who who swim in Oxazepam become considerably bolder,” Tomas Brodin, the lead researcher, said in a statement released along with the study.
The drug essentially made the fish braver and less social – even anti-social. “Perch that were exposed to Oxazepam lost interest in hanging out with the group, and some even strayed as far away from group as possible,” Brodin said.

This is very interesting given the adverse effects seen in humans as well. The lack of socialisation, the 'risky' behaviours often leading to suicide and or murder.

While these 'side effects' do not present in all individuals who use psychiatric drugs, we all know and it is 'accepted' that a certain percent of the population will have negative reactions to these concoctions. We have seen and will continue to see these mass shootings, suicides and other deviant behaviours as the use of these drugs continues to pervade society.

I know this isn't 'news' but omg this is funny!

For all cat lovers:

RCMP spying on Occupy Ottawa! Imagine my surprise !

Was just reading the news on CBC. Yeah I torture myself, but hey I am paying or it so I may as well monitor where my money is going. They have a badly written little blurb up about how the RCMP spied on the Ottawa Occupy movement, complete with its usual spin and link to drug addicts. I decided to comment, again I clearly am masochistic, and of course my opinion is not worth putting up according to the moderators at ICUC, the private moderation company which we are also paying for to censor the opinions of CBC posters! But I digress...

Here is my post:

This is SOP for governments the world over and it is nothing new.

http://undergrounddocumentaries.com/cutting-edge-confessions-of-an-undercover-cop-full-version/

The above documentary highlights the career of Mark Kennedy, who went undercover to infliltrate the eco movements in the UK and Europe.

What is probably the scariest thing about this is when the moles themselves co-opt the movement and further radicalise the membership in order to create a 'divide and conquer' scenario. We have seen this play out over and over again, especially with movements which bridge politcal and socio-economic divides. Can't have people agreeing can we? They might actually see who is REALLY responsible for the misery in their lives, better to divert attention.

Smoke and Mirrors.

It clearly does not violate any posting guidelines and is on topic, but hey the CBC is big on censorship of ideas lately, and it only is getting worse. Heck it's worse now than even six months ago. Don't bother calling the Ombudsman either, the guy is clearly a gatekeeper and disinfo stooge.

I highly recommend the above film, Confessions of an Undercover Cop

Keep this in mind the next time you see any demonstration or protest.
