As we watch thousands of our youth riot, vandalize, burn
buildings and beat up strangers with an ideological excuse I can’t help but
wonder how many of them took psychoactive drugs as children. Psychiatrists
invent syndromes while Big Pharma produces drugs for them. Often it is hard to
distinguish between what came first, the drug or the syndrome? But with the
social work and education establishment behind them we drugged a generation
with damage to their brains only to be documented at some future date. Has that
date come?
Most of the crazed mass shooters of the past several
years were on psychoactive drugs. However here we are dealing with large
numbers of people not unbalanced enough to act that crazy on their own. But
with exploitative leadership and a seductive ideology did the drug damage become
the key recruitment factor? I don’t know and I can’t prove it one way or the
other. But I can’t stop thinking about it either.
Another thought food is Native American sovereignty.
Years ago I read that Native Americans wanted to establish an international
banking haven (think Grad Cayman Islands, Bermuda, etc) in North Dakota. It’s always strange when you read about
something that seems important and then never hear about it again. Was the article fake news or was the story
suppressed? I don’t know the details of
Native American sovereignty, but if it was legal or not it just wasn’t going to
happen. Were casinos the pay off in a deal?
Many of you may be aware of Occidental College due to its
former students such as Jack Kemp and Barack Obama. I attended several evening events
there when I lived in LA. They always started at 8:05 pm because at one time a
noisy train rambled nearby at 8 pm. But after the railroad ceased the decision
makers decided to keep the 8:05 start time. They felt that tradition, in and of
itself, had value. Current events have caused me to think a lot about their
attitude.
