"...I watched this and, until the end, had NO IDEA it's an infomercial for scientology. (Ha - I get an error on the word 'scientology' because it's not capitalized. Sorry - no can do.) It's not that I'm unaware of the risk of the misuse of psychiatry - like all professions - but I am completely unambiguous in my conviction that this pseudo-religion is anything but dangerous......<br />

Origins of Eugenics: From Sir Francis Galton to Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act of 1924<br /> <a href="http://exhibits.hsl.virginia.edu/eugenics/2-origins/">http://exhibits.hsl.virginia.edu/eugenics/2-origins/</a><br />
"...Negative eugenics, as developed in the United States and Germany, played on fears of “race degeneration.” At a time when the working-class poor were reproducing at a greater rate than successful middle- and upper-class members of society, these ideas garnered considerable interest. One of the most famous proponents in the United States was President Theodore Roosevelt, who warned that the failure of couples of Anglo-Saxon heritage to produce large families would lead to “race suicide.”.."<br />
<br />
...In 1914, Harry H. Laughlin attended the first Race Betterment Conference, sponsored by J. H. Kellogg. The same year, in his Model Sterilization Law, Laughlin declared that the “socially inadequate” of society should be sterilized. This Model Law was accompanied by pedigree charts, which were used to demonstrate the hereditary nature of traits such as alcoholism, illegitimacy, and feeblemindedness. Laughlin asserted that passage of these undesirable traits to future generations would be eradicated if the unfortunate people who possessed them could be prevented from reproducing. ..<br />
<br />
...Laughlin also provided guidance in support of Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act, which made it illegal for whites in Virginia to marry outside their race. The act narrowly defined who could claim to be a member of the white race stating that “the term ‘white person’ shall apply only to such person as has no trace whatever of any blood other than Caucasian.” Virginia lawmakers were careful to leave an escape clause for colleagues who claimed descent from Pocahontas—those with 1/16 or less of “the blood of the American Indian” would also count as white....<br />

The Passing of The Great Race; or, The racial basis of European history is a 1916 book by the American eugenicist, lawyer, and amateur anthropologist Madison Grant. Though influential, the book was largely ignored when it first appeared. It went through several revisions and editions, but was never a best seller.[1] Grant expounds a theory of Nordic superiority and argues for a strong eugenics program.<br />

Scientific Racism<br />
<br />
Benjamin Rush, MD (1746­1813), signer of the Declaration of Independence, Dean of the Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania and the "Father of American Psychiatry, "described Negroes as suffering from an affliction called Negritude, which was thought to be a mild form of leprosy. The only cure for the disorder was to become white. It is unclear as to how many cases of Negritude were successfully treated. The irony of Dr. Rush's medical observations was that he was a leading mental health reformer and co-founder of the first anti-slavery society in America. Dr. Rush's portrait still adorns the official seal of the American Psychiatric Association. However, Dr Rush's observation-"The Africans become insane, we are told, in some instances, soon after they enter upon the toils of perpetual slavery in the West Indies"-is not often cited in discussions of mental illness and African-Americans, how-ever valuable it might be in understanding the traumatic impact of enslavement and oppression on Africans and their descendants..."<br />

In 1937, Draper founded the Pioneer Fund “to advance the scientific study of heredity and human differences.” However, Draper told a geneticist that he “wished to prove simply that Negroes were inferior.” The Pioneer Fund was headed by the eugenicist, Harry H. Laughlin, an advocate for restrictive immigration laws and national programs of compulsory sterilization of the mentally ill and mentally retarded.<br />

In 1937, Draper joined with eugenicists Harry Laughlin and Frederick Osborn to form the Pioneer Fund (no pagination). The Fund helped the crusade for nationwide eugenical regimentation through the distribution of grants (no pagination). In its first year, the Pioneer Fund had in its budget two German films promoting the theme of eugenics. One of those films, entitled The Hereditary Defective, was shown at 28 high schools throughout the United States thanks to the efforts of Harry Laughlin (no pagination). Draper's money was also used to print a special edition of Earnest Sevier Cox's "White America" (no pagination). The racist tract was distributed to every member of the 1937 Congress (no pagination).<br />

Psychiatry DID Promote the Chemical Imbalance Theory<br />

This falsehood was promoted vigorously by psychiatrists and by pharma, and tragically has been accepted as fact by two generations in western countries and increasingly in other parts of the world.  Here are some unambiguous quotes from eminent psychiatrists, whom one might reasonably expect to have been "well-informed."<br />

"Over the last 80 years, organized medical groups and pharmaceutical companies, using lawyers, bribes, lobbyist, insurance companies and the strong arm of the Food and Drug Administration, have been very busy. They have corrupted elected officials to pass laws to remove any competition. They have crushed Natural Doctors, Natural Medicine, and Self-Care. Their goal is to monopolize health care and make us dependent on medical doctors and pharmaceutical drugs. It almost worked!" -<br />

The DSM: Psychiatry's Deadliest Scam <br /> <a href="https://youtu.be/PcuhhJ1BaMk">https://youtu.be/PcuhhJ1BaMk</a><br />

<br />
It's psychiatry's best-selling catalog of mental illness — 943 pages long and covering everything from depression and anxiety to stuttering, cigarette addiction, fear of spiders, nightmares, problems with math and even disorder of infancy — all reinterpreted and labeled as a brain disease.<br />
<br />
<br />
And though it weighs less than five pounds, its influence pervades all aspects of modern society: our governments, our courts, our military, our media and our schools.<br />
<br />
Using it, psychiatrists can enforce psychiatric drugging, seize your children and even take away your most precious personal freedoms.<br />
<br />
It is psychiatry's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and it is the engine that drives a $330 billion psychiatric industry.<br />
<br />
But is there any proof behind the DSM? Or is it nothing more than an elaborate pseudoscientific sham?<br />

he Diagnostic & Statistical Manual: Psychiatry’s Deadliest Scam documentary DVD (1:18 mins.) Using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), psychiatrists can enforce drugging, separate children from their parents and deprive individuals of their liberty by committing them to psychiatric institutions. Yet the DSM is not a tool for healing but an elaborate pseudoscientific sham that serves as the engine for a $330 billion psychiatric industry. From the myth of brain chemistry, to psychiatrists’ admission they cannot define what they mean by “mental disorder,” to the fact new “disorders” enter the manual not through science but by majority vote, this documentary presents the shocking truth.<br />

'You Just Feel Like Nothing': California to Pay Sterilization Victims<br /> <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/just-feel-nothing-california-pay-181152942.html">https://www.yahoo.com/news/just-feel-nothing-california-pay-181152942.html</a><br />
"..Leonard Bisel was 15 when the state of California decided that he should not have children, threatening to lock him up and force him to do hard labor if he did not submit to sterilization.<br />
<br />
In the middle of his operation, recalled Bisel, now 88, he woke up. “It was really painful,” he said, “and the doctor told me to shut up.”<br />
<br />
Under the influence of a movement known as eugenics, whose supporters believed that those with physical disabilities, psychiatric disorders and other conditions were “genetically defective,” more than 60,000 people across the United States were forcibly sterilized by state-run programs throughout the 20th century.<br />
<br />
Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times<br />
<br />
They included more than 20,000 people over seven decades in California, under a eugenics law enacted in 1909. Almost all of the state’s procedures were performed through institutions, like the one where Bisel lived, and none were legally required to have the patient’s consent. Some of those sterilized were as young as 11.<br />
<br />
Even after California repealed its eugenics law in 1979, it continued to sterilize women in prison, sometimes without ensuring that their consent was lawfully obtained, according to a 2014 state report that followed an exposé by the Center for Investigative Reporting.<br />
<br />
Now, under a budget passed by the Legislature and awaiting the governor’s approval, California is prepared to spend $7.5 million to find and pay an estimated 600 surviving victims of coerced sterilization, both under the eugenics law and in prison, an estimated $25,000 each.<br />
<br />
The move follows similar efforts in Virginia and North Carolina to compensate victims of the eugenics movement, which peaked in the United States in the early 20th century and inspired similar practices in Nazi Germany. Thirty-two states had some sort of federally funded program that forcibly sterilized immigrants, people of color, those with disabilities and others labeled “undesirable,” under the guise of public health.<br />
<br />
Nationwide support for reparations to descendants of enslaved people has grown in recent years, including in California, where an effort is underway to develop proposals for compensating Black residents for centuries of systemic discrimination and inequality. Reparations to victims of involuntary sterilization is seen by some advocates as a similar first step in acknowledging the country’s long history of discrimination against people with disabilities.<br />
<br />
“There still is a great amount of prejudice against people with disabilities and assumptions that they are, in the most extreme form, not worthy of life, not worthy of being born and certainly not worthy of parenting,” said Alexandra Minna Stern, a University of Michigan professor who is an expert on eugenics and reproductive rights.<br />
<br />
Not everyone who was forcibly sterilized under California’s program had a disability. The vast majority were poor, and many were wards of the state from so-called “broken homes.” Many had suffered previous abuse, and many were Black, Latino, Asian American or Native American..."

  • A history of the Fergus Falls treatment center<br />
July 16, 2004<br />
<br /> <a href="http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2004/07/16_straumanisa_fergussidebar/">http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2004/07/16_straumanisa_fergussidebar/</a><br />
St. Paul, Minn. — The Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center, while still an imposing structure, is nothing like it was in the first half of the 20th century. Back then, when it was known as the Fergus Falls State Hospital, the facility covered hundreds of acres and regularly served well more than 1,000 patients living in a self-contained community where they received treatment, worked and recreated.<br />
<br />
Concerned by overcrowding in its first two state hospitals at St. Peter and Rochester, the state began construction of the Fergus Falls facility in 1888. Initially designed to house at least 1,000 patients, the main structure known as the Kirkbride complex cost $1 million. The first patients arrived July 29, 1890, according to The History of the Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center, 1890-2000, a collection of vignettes and facts compiled by Emery Johnson and Rose Linda Aune.<br />
<br />
The hospital was built at a time in the 19th century when the idea of "moral treatment" of mental health patients was gaining popularity in medical circles. This included placing patients in clean and well-run facilities where they would be treated humanely.<br />
<br />
During the 1930s, as the hospital's population boomed, concern was raised that it, too, was falling victim to overcrowding. In 1933, for example, the facility had 1,881 patients and 266 employees. The highest population, 2,078, was reached March 13, 1937, causing Superintendent Dr. W.L. Patterson to complain, "The wards have been greatly overcrowded; the beds too close together; which condition has made it difficult to handle the patients."<br />
<br />
Today, although it is licensed for 290 beds, only 127 beds are used in the Fergus Falls hospital. In June, according to a Department of Human Services report, just two-thirds of those were filled by patients being treated for mental illness, chemical dependency and detoxification.<br />
<br />
The city of Fergus Falls is searching for a developer that could inject new life into the campus, which includes 37 buildings on about 180 acres. In the late 1960s, when the hospital's farm operation was shut down, the facility covered 1,100 acres.<br />
<br />
Other highlights from history include:<br />
<br />
-- A weekly newsletter, The Weekly Pulse, was published for patients from 1933-1987, when it was converted to a monthly.<br />
<br />
-- The hospital for many years had its own bakery. In 1933, according to one report, the bakery daily made more than 1,160 loaves of bran, white and rusk bread.<br />
<br />
-- Over the years the hospital has seen the introduction of new treatment methods. In 1951, the hospital's work with shock therapy was featured in Life magazine.<br />
<br />
-- The hospital was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Recently, the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota listed the state hospital facilities at Fergus Falls, Walker and Willmar together as one of its 10 most endangered properties.
