PEGGY OH PEGGY NOONAN, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

PEGGY OH PEGGY NOONAN, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?


BY TONY DIGIROLAMO:

During the last presidential election you were swept away by Barack Hussein Obama. And you did it as a contributor on MSNBC where you lost your voice and credibility at least with me.

In her op-ed of April 14 2011, 'Obama Is Likely to Lose', she said, "The more that people experience his leadership, the less they like his leadership."

Well hello Peggy, this is too little and could be too late since you supported Obama in 08. What a mistake and you probably deceived many along with you.


Wizbang Blog sees you back peddling when it quoted you in July 20th 2011, "And so his failures in the debt ceiling fight. He wasn’t serious, he was only shrewd—and shrewdness wasn’t enough. He demagogued the issue—no Social Security checks—until he was called out, and then went on the hustings spouting inanities. He left conservatives scratching their heads: They could have made a better, more moving case for the liberal ideal as translated into the modern moment, than he did. He never offered a plan. In a crisis he was merely sly. And no one likes sly, no one respects it.
So he is losing a battle in which he had superior forces—the presidency, the U.S. Senate. In the process he revealed that his foes have given him too much mystique. He is not a devil, an alien, a socialist. He is a loser. And this is America, where nobody loves a loser.
You voted for this loser and now we're losing our freedom, the Constitution and America as we've known it.
You are a great word smith, I've enjoyed your writing greatly, but what part of Obama's statement, "We're five days away from (the election) and fundamentally transforming America, What part of that didn't you get Peggy?!
What was so obvious to me seemed to elude your great intellectual mind. It has to be that you were sitting at the table with liberal MSNBC anchors and pundits, and oh how much they adored your defection to the progressive, leftist agenda.
Watching your ideas changing and unfolding on my Flat Screen TV,  I wanted to do an Elvis Moment on the spot.
You as a Catholic have got to realize now more than ever before, there's not only a loser in the White House, there is a deceitful, Alinsky, ends justifies the means, liar as well.
I hope that starting now you too will be vetting this president and reveal that he is the embodiment and antithesis to our Religious Freedom.
Catholics, Protestants and Jews are rising up and will never be silent in the pulpits again.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is an American promise. Life is the beginning of the American dream that all of us hope for ... And Life will be defended from this moment on!
Now, back to Obama and where your support of him has brought us. I hope you're getting your voice back and that MSNBC here's you loud and clear this time. Because this time, this election, has got to be change we can believe in and the hope that the American Dream is still here for our children.
Peggy Noonan, Write on! 


Not-So-Smooth Operator Obama increasingly comes across as devious and dishonest.

Not-So-Smooth Operator Obama increasingly comes across as devious and dishonest.


Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther right. Among them the level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up sharply the past few months.

It's not due to the election, and it's not because the Republican candidates are so compelling and making such brilliant cases against him. That, actually, isn't happening.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- PEGGY O PEGGY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
During the last presidential election you were swept away by Barack Hussein Obama. And you did it as a contributor on MSNBC where you lost your voice and credibility at least with me.

Taking Liberties: Arrested for reading the Bible?

Taking Liberties: Arrested for reading the Bible?


The video begins with Mark Mackey opening his Bible.

“Good morning, everyone,” he says to a group of 15 onlookers waiting outside the Hemet California Division of Motor Vehicles. “I would like to read a little bit of the word of God this morning.”

The video, shot in February of last year, ends with Mackey’s arrest.

“You can preach on your own property,” an officer from the California Highway Patrol tells Mackey as he leads him away in handcuffs. “Folks, this is what the United States is coming to,” Mackey says to the crowd, who were standing outside waiting for the DMV to open. “You can talk about anything you want, but you can’t talk about the Bible.”

Current TV Dismisses Keith Olbermann


Current TV said Friday afternoon that it had terminated the contract of its lead anchor Keith Olbermann, scarcely one year after he was hired to reboot the channel in his progressive political image.

In a letter to viewers, the channel said Friday, “We created Current to give voice to those Americans who refuse to rely on corporate-controlled media and are seeking an authentic progressive outlet.  We are more committed to those goals today than ever before. Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers.   Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it.”


TONY DIGIROLAMO- GOOD RIDDANCETHANK YOU ... AAAAND GOOD LUCK!

Keith Ablow on Lottery: "Unshakable knowledge that you love yourself" The danger preached by Psychiatry today

Keith Ablow on Lottery: "Unshakable knowledge that you love yourself" The danger preached by Psychiatry today


Ablow: "True wealth is only one thing—always, and without exception—and it has nothing to whatsoever to do with cash: It is the absolute, unshakable knowledge that you love yourself, are loved by another human being, have the capacity to love others and understand that love is immeasurable, inexplicable and evidence of a force greater than any one person or, perhaps, all that is mortal."

But the fact that I—a psychiatrist and a person who deeply believes the words I am writing here—would still get high on such a massive cash infusion, only shows how potent a drug it would be.


"I" ... This is the reason why psychiatry is dangerous and has spawned the religion of self-love.

It has made the nation narcissistic, self-centered and thinking of an agenda that puts the "Me and I" first in the scheme of things.

I started thinking of writing this when I saw Keith on Fox News speaking, when he said you have to "love yourself". He was interviewed about his article: How to win the Mega Millions jackpot

Those words he used speaks volumes of the self-esteem movement begun by those humanistic psychologists, Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers and lesser known William R Coulson back in the 60's. They realized early on that it was a mistake but it was already too late to turn back what had been put in place. A destructive method of counseling. 

That counseling of self-love is embraced by most psychologists counseling today.

Over the years Christian psychologists have embraced and integrated the secular with biblical methods of counseling. That has been a huge tragic mistake. It gave us the Rogerian, Non-directive counseling which tells the person they are not responsible for what has happened in their life.

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ. (Colossians 2:8)
James Kennedy endorsed a video I produced, What is Happening to Us? Too Much Psychology, he said, "Across the country and around the world men have attempted to live by standards far different from those of the Bible. even throughout this country, in our own public schools students are being taught a so called morality which is far different from the Ten Commandments and the Word of God.

The man who was at least partially responsible (Psychologist, William R. Coulson) for that so called morality that our children are now being taught, the man has seen the devastation it has wrought and has seen the influence spread to our churches as well.
How could some of our churches degenerate to the point that even Christian counselors are telling people that they're not responsible for their actions?"

Keith Ablow is the product of that self-esteem movement. The wizards of the mind have given us humanistic values and the secular worldview.

Thus the battle that is before us is against Judeo-Christian values and Religious Freedom.
Keith Ablow doesn't follow Scripture, but if he did he would rewrite what he said above. "True wealth is only one thing—always, and without exception—and it has nothing to whatsoever to do with cash".
Keith, it isn't just about the cash ... it's about the love of cash!
Psychology puts you first, that puts the cash first, and the things you want ... that satisfies the longing only temporarily.
That makes one narcissistic, self-centered rather than God-centered and others-centered.
Psychology has poisoned our Judeo-Christian heritage by embracing the works and philosophies of the founding fathers of humanistic psychology. It is what is most responsible for who we are today.
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. (1 Timothy 4)
We need to change that more than ever before ... Get back to God, embrace His Commandments and His precepts, our only help in this hour.
Dreaming about winning the Lottery? Everyone reading this, chances are you will lose and the odds are I'll be right.

Airline crew member mental health in spotlight after captain's breakdown

Airline crew member mental health in spotlight after captain's breakdown


Two recent incidents in which airline crew members behaved alarmingly and had to be restrained by passengers have raised questions about when and how aviation workers are screened for mental health problems.

On Tuesday, JetBlue captain Clayton Osbon, 49, was locked out of the cockpit by his co-pilot after he began acting erratically on Flight 191 from New York to Las Vegas. The captain, since charged with interfering with a flight crew and now getting medical care, was upset when he couldn't get back into the cockpit and began yelling about an unspecified threat linked to Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan.

lPilots Taking Antidepressants? The FAA Is Risking Our Lives


A few years ago I was hired by the FAA to defend the agency against a suit brought by a pilot who wanted to fly while taking a prescription antidepressant. I helped the FAA formulate its defense of the agency's ban on pilots using antidepressants and, as a result, the ban remained in effect. Pilots remained unable to fly while taking antidepressants, including the newer ones such as Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro and Effexor.

The FAA says it wants to help remove the stigma surrounding mental illness and antidepressant medication by allowing pilots to take the medications. So now the FAA wants to join the campaign for the marketing of psychiatry and psychiatric drugs? Where is that written into its legislative mandate? And should we be encouraged to believe that it's safe for depressed individuals to pilot airplanes--with or without the added risk of their taking potent and highly unpredictable psychoactive substances?

Video: Obama message to Planned Parenthood supporters oddly silent about key Planned Parenthood service


Via the boss emeritus’s new Twitter aggregator Twitchy. I hate to say it but after watching this I think there might be something to the DNC’s “war on women” message. It’s inexplicable that the GOP wants to yank federal funding for this excellent health organization that provides cancer screenings and contraception and apparently nothing else. Can anyone blame the left for having a screeching, frothing-at-the-mouth fit whenever a conservative suggests having PP pay its own way? They’re all about protecting contraception and cancer screenings and nothing else.

JetBlue Pilot Rage Likely Not Panic; Drugs or Brain Tumor Possible


Clayton Osbon, the pilot who was subdued aboard JetBlue flight 191 after going into a rage, may have had a toxic reaction to infection, drugs or even an encephalitic event caused by a brain tumor.

"They will also investigate things that can impact the central nervous system, like drugs," said McCann. "Drugs prescribed over the counter, and, in particular sleep deprivation, can turn someone over the edge."

Via the Washington Free Beacon, the oral argument laugh line du jour and further evidence that Scalia, whom the left once viewed as a potential vote to uphold the mandate, looks set to drop an atomic bomb on the whole scheme. The unspoken punchline is that Congress didn’t want to read the bill either (right, Nancy?), which is how this landmark boondoggle with a dubious constitutional novelty at its core somehow ended up … without a severability clause. That was today’s subject — if the mandate is struck down, does the rest of this thing have to die with it or can other provisions of the law be salvaged? Congress almost always adds a section about that when it drafts a bill. It forgot this time. Oops.

At times, it felt like a protest - folks held signs that read: "This is about religious freedom!"

Either way, the message was the same.

Nearly 250 people packed the sanctuary at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Tuesday morning to support the church in a land dispute with city officials.

Baby 'mercy killing' debate call

Baby 'mercy killing' debate call


Doctors are calling for a debate over proposals for the "mercy killing" of severely disabled babies.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists wants a discussion over whether "deliberate intervention" to cause death should be legalised.

Withdrawing treatment is already permitted in some cases.

The college said it was not necessarily in favour of the move, but felt it should be debated. However, some are angry it has even been suggested.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- THIS IS THE OBAMACARE NIGHTMARE WITH SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
Socialism breeds contempt for God and the church. It therefore makes the decision of "mercy killing" easier and even justifiable concept.

JetBlue captain subdued mid-flight after erratic behavior

JetBlue captain subdued mid-flight after erratic behavior


A police officer and an off-duty airline pilot subdued a JetBlue captain Tuesday morning aboard a Las Vegas-bound flight when the captain started pounding on the cockpit door after the flight's co-pilot asked him to leave and subsequently locked him out, a federal official told CBS News.

The captain became incoherent during JetBlue Flight 191 from New York's John F. Kennedy International, prompting the co-pilot to get him to leave the cockpit, the official said. JetBlue said in a statement to CBS News that the flight was diverted to Amarillo, Texas, "for a medical situation involving the captain."

CBSNEWS.COM


TONY DIGIROLAMO FLASHBACK - ON APRIL 2, 2010 AN ABC NEWS REPORT: "Pilots taking medication for mild or moderate depression will soon be allowed in the cockpit under new Federal Aviation Administration guidelines that reverse a nearly 70-year ban. Clinically depressed pilots, including those undergoing therapy or prescription treatment, are currently prohibited from flying.
The policy change, which takes effect Monday, was sparked by reduced risk of antidepressant side effects, such as drowsiness, and a need to "change the culture and remove the stigma" associated with the illness, said FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt."
This incident with this pilot on Jet Blue seems to me to be the culmination of this horrific decision 2 years ago.
The reports I've seen so far on this incident, the pilot had, erratic behavior, bizarre erratic behavior, and Fox, as I'm watching the Fox report, just said he might be suffering from PTSD but they are dismissing that.
Here's what I want to know, is he taking antidepressants or psychotropic drugs?
And why would they do THIS at the expense of the safety of passengers, "...need to change the culture and remove the stigma" associated with the illness, said FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt."

Obama Lawyer Laughed at In Supreme Court

Obama Lawyer Laughed at In Supreme Court


On the first day of health care reform arguments before the Supreme Court, two justices needled a top Obama lawyer for simultaneously calling the fine that will be paid under the law for not purchasing insurance a “penalty” and a “tax.”

The confusion arises because of the administration’s argument that the power to enforce the individual mandate is rooted in Congress’ taxing power — but that the mechanism itself is designed to be a penalty, not a revenue-generating policy.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- THIS WHOLE ADMINISTRATION IS LAUGHABLE. AND OH SO INCREDIBLY SERIOUS.

Conflicts of interest and DSM-5: the media reaction

Conflicts of interest and DSM-5: the media reaction


The fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) will be published next year, but concerns surround its financial competing interest disclosure policy and the ties its panel members have to drug companies. Last week PLoS Medicine published an analysis by Lisa Cosgrove and Sheldon Krimsky , who examined the disclosure policy and the panel members’ conflicts of interest, and call for the APA to make changes to increase transparency before the manual’s publication.

Within three days of publication the paper had been viewed over 4000 times, and several major media outlets reported on the authors’ findings and the wider issues they relate to. In the news section of Nature, Heidi Ledford drew attention to the fact that panel members with competing interests are not evenly distributed throughout the panel work groups, commenting that “the committees with the highest number of industrial links are those evaluating conditions for which drugs are the first-line treatment.” She also described the failure of the policy to require its panel members to specify participation in speakers’ bureaus, arrangements “in which a company hires someone to give a presentation about its product.”

Here’s how Tapper puts it:

At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have “more flexibility” to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him “space.”
The exchange was picked up by microphones as reporters were let into the room for remarks by the two leaders.

APA Should Delay Publication Of DSM 5

APA Should Delay Publication Of DSM 5


My three criticisms of DSM 5 have been: 1) risky suggestions; 2) bad writing; and 3) poor planning and disorganization. I have pretty much failed to have any real impact other than perhaps getting APA to delay publication from May 2012 to May 2013. The one year extension was wasted, the risky suggestions and bad writing remain, and my constant warnings that missed deadlines would lead to a mad and careless race at the end were ignored.

With less than a year remaining before DSM 5 is scheduled to go to print, the signs are clear that it cannot possibly be completed on time unless we are willing to settle for a third rate product. The unmistakable red flag is the recent embarrassing admission that DSM 5 will accept diagnoses that achieve reliabilities as unbelievably low as 0.2-0.4 (barely beating the level of chance agreement two monkeys could achieve throwing darts at a diagnostic board).

Timeline: Obama Administration Actions Affecting U.S. Religious Freedom

Timeline: Obama Administration Actions Affecting U.S. Religious Freedom


The past year has marked a shift in religious liberty debates, one that previously centered on hiring rights but became focused on health care requirements. When President Obama first took office, faith-based groups were especially concerned that organizations that discriminate in hiring based on religious beliefs would become ineligible for federal funding. In 2011, the President indicated that he would not rescind an executive order on hiring rights. Just a week later, though, Health and Human Services ruled that religious groups other than churches must provide their employees contraception, triggering lawsuits and petitions. But contraception is not the only religious freedom issue faith-based groups are eyeing. The following timeline shows a number of actions the government took in the past year, setting precedents and priorities on various issues, including sexual orientation, health care, and hiring decisions.

HERE'S A SAMPLE OF THE TIMELINE STORIES:
Health care workers and the 'conscience clause'
Defense of Marriage Act
Prisons
National Day of Prayer and courts
Hiring rights and federal funding
Contraception and religious exemption

“If the government can just order you to buy something, and fine you if you don’t” – the way the individual mandate of Obamacare requires every American to buy government-approved health insurance and fines them if they don’t comply – “they can order you to do anything,” Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said during an appearance on C-SPAN’s “Newsmaker” on Sunday.

Dixon clearly didn't heed their advice, for after his incredible performance of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" Wednesday, he told host Ryan Seacrest, "I’ve been praying before this whole thing because tonight was a big moment for me, and I was just collecting myself and saying, 'God, use me.' I want Him to shine through first and foremost."

Ryan Seacrest really caught uncomfortable spirit winds while Colton Dixon felt at perfect peace speaking with the freedom given him by God in this great nation.

Stand Up for Religious Freedom Stop Obama’s HHS Mandate * Nationwide Rally * Friday, March 23

Stand Up for Religious Freedom Stop Obama’s HHS Mandate * Nationwide Rally * Friday, March 23


URGENT:

Norfolk, VA—On Friday, March 23 from noon to 1 p.m. concerned citizens will hold a Rally for Religious Freedom at Commercial Park, Downtown Norfolk, 415 East Plume Street to voice public opposition to the Obama administration’s Health and Human Services Mandate. The HHS Mandate forces all employers, even religious institutions such as Roman Catholic hospitals and universities, to offer contraceptives, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs through their health plans, contrary to their religious beliefs and doctrines.

Norfolk is joining over 140 other cities across the country for the March 23 nationwide Stand Up for Religious Freedom rallies, including New York, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Miami. Find more information at Standupforreligiousfreedom.com
 


The Norfolk Religious Freedom Rally has been organized by Louantha Kerr and Frances Bouton . 
Special guest speakers include include Deacon Keith Fournier, Delegate Bob Marshall, Bishop Anne Gimenez and Bishop E.W. Jackson.
 
·         What: Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally

·         When: Friday, March 23, noon to 1 p.m.

·         Where: Commercial Park, 415 East Plume Street, Norfolk, VA

·         Who: 100’s of Citizens opposed to President Obama’s HHS Mandate

“This rally is intended to draw attention to the injustice of the federal government’s riding rough-shod over the conscience of American citizens as we seek to generate even stronger national opposition to the HHS Mandate—a ruling already opposed by millions of Americans,” said Kerr. “We pledge to work for its ultimate reversal.”

Kerr continued, “The HHS mandate actually seeks to define what constitutes religious ministry in its narrowly crafted so-called exemption. This sort of government intrusion must be opposed. This is not about the issue of contraception—this is about protecting religious liberty as it is enshrined in the United States Constitution.” The nationwide Stand Up for Religious Freedom coalition calls upon all Americans to oppose the mandate for the following reasons:

1.      We protest the federal government's definition of what constitutes a religious institution and the mission of religious institutions through the narrowly constructed “exemption” to the HHS Mandate. Not only is this definition false, but the federal government has no authority to make it.
2.      We protest that religious institutions (even under Obama’s so-called “accommodation”) are still forced to facilitate contraception, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs through insurance companies that are mandated to provide them.
3.      We protest the Mandate for forcing all businesses -- not just religious institutions -- to provide coverage of contraception, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs, even if doing so violates the employer’s own moral position on these matters.
4.      We protest the HHS Mandate -- requiring contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs to be given free of charge by all health plans -- in general because it treats pregnancy and childbirth as if it were a disease.

APA Blasts 60 Minutes Program on Antidepressants

APA Blasts 60 Minutes Program on Antidepressants


A recent episode of the news program 60 Minutes featuring psychologist Irving Kirsch, PhD, and his book The Emperor's New Drugs, which claims there is no effective difference between antidepressant medications and placebo, is not just wrong "but irresponsible and dangerous reporting," according to the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

"Antidepressants do work, particularly for patients with major depression," APA president John Oldham, MD, who is also Chief of Staff of the Menninger Clinic at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, told Medscape Medical News.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- WELL, LOOK WHO'S GETTING MAD AT THE "60 MINUTES" SHOW WE POSTED RECENTLY. 
"How the powerful placebo effect works" It is shocking to watch and jaw dropping! Watch Leslie Stahls reaction!                                             
Watch it below.
Culture Shock has been waiting for this kind of moment in the media for a long time.
A lot of people have gone through great pain and death because we've been silent on this news.

SHERIFF JOE: 'TONS' MORE SHOCKING OBAMA INFO / Rips 'biggest censorship blackout in the history of the United States'

SHERIFF JOE: 'TONS' MORE SHOCKING OBAMA INFO / Rips 'biggest censorship blackout in the history of the United States'


“America’s toughest sheriff” says there is “tons” more potentially shocking information on Barack Obama in connection with his probe into the president’s eligibility, and he calls the media’s suppression of his findings of a likely forged presidential birth certificate and Selective Service Card “probably the biggest censorship blackout in the history of the United States.”

“I’m not going after the president to keep him off a ballot or anything else, but that could happen,” Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. “I’m going at it strictly as a law-enforcement guy investigating a possible forgery and fraud. I’m sticking with that, but I’ll tell you one thing. We got tons of other information that could be very shocking, too, but I’m sticking now with just the [forgery] investigation and possible criminal violations.”


TONY DIGIROLAMO- VETTING OF OBAMA CONTINUES ... WAY TO GO SHERRIF JOE!

UPDATE 1-Obama to push US agencies on Keystone permit


President Barack Obama will issue a memo on Thursday directing federal agencies to prioritize permitting of TransCanada's southern leg of the Keystone oil pipeline, a senior White House official said on Wednesday.

With his Republican opponents hammering away at the president over high gasoline prices, Obama will visit Cushing, Oklahoma on Th ursday to promote his energy policies, which include support for the southern leg of the pipeline.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- WELL, HE CAN'T SEEM TO CLOSE THE WHOLE DEAL.
When the generals needed 40,000 troops for the surge in Afghanistan he took months for the decision to give them 30,000.
Now, the Keystone Pipeline needs to be built from Canada to the Gulf ... he approves it from Oklahoma south.
Didn't Bill Clinton tell him to approve Keystone. 
He's voting present again!

PTSD diagnosis rates rise among female troops

PTSD diagnosis rates rise among female troops


The Military Times poll also found that women were more than twice as likely as men to have been prescribed a psychiatric medication. For both genders, the most common type of prescription drug was antidepressants — including brands like Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft, which are commonly used to treat PTSD — followed by sleep aids such as Ambien and Lunesta.

Men also may be less likely to accept medication because they are in jobs that require deploying to the field more often than women. Defense Department rules prohibit troops from deploying within three months of starting a psychiatric medication.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- THERE GIVEN ZOLOFT OR PROZAC AND THEN AMBIEN TO SLEEP. NICE CHEMICAL COCKTAIL TO TRY TO BALANCE THE CHEMICALS IN YOUR BRAIN.
Capt. Karen-Nicole Napper, "a psychiatrist told her the stress-induced chemical changes in her brain weren’t her fault, and she was desperate for relief from the anxiety." That's a lie! Stress induced "chemical changes"?!
No scientist, no doctor and no shrink can tell you that. There is no lab test, no MRI, nothing that science has to suggest such a thing.
So, there's no way to prove their "diagnosis" for "chemical imbalance", parden me, "chemical change". Science doesn't even know if anyone's brain can have such a thing.
This stuff is Pscience!

Seroquel or Suicide? Parents of Dead Soldiers Say US Military Needs to Come Clean

Seroquel or Suicide? Parents of Dead Soldiers Say US Military Needs to Come Clean


“If you know the one thing that causes people to commit suicide, please let us know because we don’t know” – General Peter Chiarelli

In the aftermath of Vietnam War, 150,000 veterans from that war committed suicide, meaning more soldiers died after the war than from the actual war itself, say experts. In 2010, more enlisted US soldiers committed suicide (468) than died in combat (462), as reported by mainstream media watchdog Project Censored, which has designated military suicides as the media’s top-censored story for 2010 and 2011. In November, the VA said 18 veterans a day are taking their own life.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- GENERAL CHIARELLI, YOU DON'T KNOW THE ONE THING THAT CAUSES PEOPLE TO COMMIT SUICIDE? THAT IS A FLAT OUT LIE.
The Antidepressant Omission in Marine Suicides John Roberts reports on Fox News
Posted by: 

Thu Mar 31 00:45:37 2011
John Roberts reported on Fox News Special Report tonight on the increased level of suicides in United States Marines. Something was missing in his piece. CULTURESHOCKTV.COM READ STORY
You cannot let a story like this go by and not ask these questions...

On February 24, 2010, the Veterans Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, Chaired by Rep. Bob Filner (D-San Diego) held hearings entitled "Exploring the Relationship Between Medication and Veteran Suicide."
Chairman Filner asked Dr. Peter Breggin to lead off with testimony about "Anti-depressant-induced Suicide, Violence, and Mania: Implications for the Military."

Recently, concern has been expressed about the increased prescription of psychi­ atric medications, especially antidepressants, to military personnel (Lorge, 2008; Thompson, 2008). In presentations at military conferences on combat stress (Breggin, 2009, 2010a) and in testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Veter­ ans Affairs Committee (Breggin, 201 Ob), I have pointed to a probable causal relationship between increasing rates of antidepressant prescription and increasing rates of suicide in the military. This article reviews and evaluates the relevant scientific data.
THE VIDEO: PETER BREGGIN OPENING STATEMENT 

The story on what antidepressants have wrought onAmerica is a heart breaking for me.

I'm one of many voices raising awareness on this issue but the media won't allow it. There's a very clear reason for this. Big drugs, The pharmaceutical industry pumps billions of dollars into the media and it's very quiet out there.

Our military are being given drugs with the knowledge that they are dangerous to take and dangerous to quit.

Dr. Peter Breggin, "There is a strong probability that the increasing suicide rates among active-duty soldiers are in part caused or exacer­bated by the widespread prescription of antidepressant medication. By themselves, these drugs cause a dangerous stimulant-like profile of adverse reactions."
That and a gun is the scenario that John Roberts failed to mention in his report.

American Idol Producers Tell Contestant to Tone Down Christian References


The producers of the hit show American Idol apparently told one of its top contestants to tone down his overtly Christian references if he wants to win the competition.

The Rock Church Sees Miracle Debt Cancellation


Despite some churches falling into bankruptcy, God is still in the miracle business. The Rock Church International in Virginia Beach, Va., is the latest proof. The Rock Church just saw the last $5.37 million of its $14 million debt paid in full—in just three months.

John and Anne Gimenez founded the Rock Church in 1968 and dedicated its first sanctuary debt-free in 1971. The church grew up during the charismatic movement was home to the Washington for Jesus rallies in the 1980s and ‘90s.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- IT IS A MIRACLE! I WITNESSED IT MYSELF FIRST HAND.
And right here at Culture Shock we have been seeing many churches tragically foreclosing on their mortgages.
Fox reported, "Just as homeowners borrowed too much or built too big during boom times, many churches did the same and now are struggling as their congregations shrink and collections fall owing to rising unemployment and a weak economy."
But God moved on Rock Church.
It is spared foreclosure for such a time in September 28th and 29th, 2012, the year of our Lord, Jesus Christ... America for Jesus2012! God is truly preparing the way for a great awakening to a solemn assembly in Philadelphia praying and turning to God for His wisdom!
The backdrop will be Independence Hall and Christians will be coming from all across America. This is where Declaration of Independence was signed and the Bill of Rights was born.

Rottenstein Law Group Acknowledges Research Showing Many Antidepressants are No More Effective Than Placebo

Rottenstein Law Group Acknowledges Research Showing Many Antidepressants are No More Effective Than Placebo


The Rottenstein Law Group, which represents clients with claims stemming from side effects caused by the antidepressant Zoloft, has learned that several prominent scientists are claiming, based on their review of both published and unpublished studies, that antidepressants are no more effective for the treatment of depression than a placebo for the vast majority of people dealing with the condition.

One of the scientists who maintains this view is Irving Kirsch, associate director of the Placebo Studies Program at Harvard Medical School. Kirsch’s antidepressant/placebo research was recently featured on a “60 Minutes” episode titled, “Treating Depression,” which aired on February 19.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- WE'LL TAKE YOU INTO THE WEEKEND WITH THIS NEWS.LET YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT.

"[A]ntidepressants are no more effective for the treatment of depression than a placebo for the vast majority of people dealing with the condition."

It is stunning isn't it?! After all these years that science didn't how to tell you this and the media did nothing.
Was this on the news?! Anybody? 18 million people are effected by this ... shouldn't they be calling attention to it?

How the powerful placebo effect works

When Harvard researcher Irving Kirsch told Lesley Stahl that the difference between taking an antidepressant and taking a sugar pill is minimal for most people, the 60 Minutes correspondent said, "But people are getting better taking antidepressants. I know them."

In this "Overtime" feature, you'll hear Lesley share her own family's personal experience with antidepressants-- and how the news in her own report affects her family.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- THIS WILL MAKE YOU MAD! IF YOU'RE TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANT MEDS YOU'LL FIND OUT HERE THAT IT IS NO BETTER THAN A SUGAR PILL.
"So many are taking these pills, stunning as this seems, that taking a sugar pill would have the same effect."
And the sugar pill has no side effects!

Planned Parenthood closings motivating president

Planned Parenthood closings motivating president


President Barack Obama is taking action against Texas by denying Medicaid funds for low-income women's healthcare because the state refuses to send the money to abortion providers. But Gov. Rick Perry asserts that women in his state won't be denied such services because of Washington's loyalty to Planned Parenthood.

In accordance with SB 7, which passed during the June 2011 special session, the state has decided against granting Planned Parenthood its annual $17 million because it provides abortions (see earlier story). Rachel Bohannon of Texas Right to Life believes the Obama administration is cutting off Texas because officials know what will happen when abortion providers are denied the money.

Seeking the roots of a U.S. soldier's shooting rampage


In the search for an explanation of why a U.S. soldier left his base in Afghanistan at night and killed 16 civilians in their homes, some experts have raised the possibility that mental illness or a brain injury played a role in the massacre.

"We're going to look into all of that," General John Allen, who commands U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, told CNN on Monday, declining to comment further on the mental state of the soldier suspected in Sunday's attack. A U.S. official told Reuters that the staff sergeant had suffered a traumatic brain injury in a vehicle rollover in 2010 in Iraq, and was treated and returned to duty.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- WELL, THEY'RE RAISING THE POSSIBILTY OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT THE MEDS AND ANTIDEPRESSANTS WILL BE REVEALED.
I haven't been wrong about this people. Culture Shock has called it many times.

Rick Santorum has won the Mississippi and Alabama Republican primaries, Fox News projects.

The pair of wins in the Deep South could help Santorum build his argument that he, and not Newt Gingrich, should be the primary alternative to Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination.

"We did it again," Santorum told a cheering crowd in Louisiana Tuesday night.

Grassley pounds History Channel for lack of history

Grassley pounds History Channel for lack of history


Something has been eating at Chuck Grassley. It started back in February, when the Iowa senator and history lover turned on the History Channel and didn’t like what he saw. More precisely, he didn’t see what he liked: history.

“No history,” Grassley tweeted on Feb. 19. “I used to get history. Why do we h[a]v[e] such a channel when it doesn’t do history.”


TONY DIGIROLAMO- WELL, THE HISTORY CHANNEL IS OWNED BY G.E./NBC NOW YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY WHY THAT CHANNEL HAS LOST ITS FOCUS AND ITS AUDIENCE AT HISTORY.
Can you say sex? And the histroy of sex and the history of when sex began!
The networks such as the big 4 have lost their way at home base.
Now they take it to cable and own it there.
ABC/Disney bought the Family Channel but they don't like the tone of that so, they added the slogan, "A different kind of family".
Anyone going there seeking family programming will have a Chuck Grassley moment.
