MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING

"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual." --Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819
Congressman Ron Paul is attempting to include language in another massive government spending bill that would require parental notification regarding Bush's attempt to force mental health screening on all children in this country. Paul's earlier attempts to insert a stop measure into the Labor, HHS and Education Appropriations Act failed. No surprise there. If this dangerous provision in that bill passes, it will be because the Republicans didn't stop it and a Republican president will sign it into law. The vote on this could come by this weekend.
It is important to remember that some members of Congress who will vote on this insidious legislation, also own stock in the very pharmaceutical companies that will reap millions of dollars destroying the minds of America's children through forced medicating. A list of these congressional members can be found here. Even the the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons warned the public just a week ago that universal psychiatric screening and drugging of children is "a dangerous scheme that will heap even more coercive pressure on parents to medicate children with potentially dangerous side effects."
There is an underlying agenda behind Bush's so-called 'New Freedom Commission on Mental Health' to "identify policies that could be implemented by Federal, State and local governments to promote successful community integration for adults with a serious mental illness and children with a serious emotional disturbance." This forced mental health screening will eventually be extended to adults - an exact replica of Communist Russia, straight from the Communist Manual of Instruction of Psychological Warfare. In the summary section of this "New Freedom" Commission on Mental Health, the summary states, "The State plan will include consumers and families and will create a new partnership among the Federal, State and local governments." The big carrot: federal money that will create new jobs - the same trap Americans have been diving into for the past decade as jobs in America's most important sectors (ag, manufacturing, industrial) have been shipped to foreign countries.
While the quote below will be a most unwelcome one for those still celebrating Bush's reelection and a "Republican sweep" in Congress, Americans must open their eyes to the bigger picture and evaluate what is coming out of Washington, DC. The author of The Great Communitarian Hoax, Jeri Lynn Ball, is one of the most knowledgeable experts in this country on how America is being subverted in such a clever, diabolical and systematic way, that our people hardly know what's happening to them and their families - until it's too late.
As Jeri points out regarding this gigantic step to crush those of us and our children who refuse to bow down to the new world order being pushed upon us by both parties in Washington, DC, "The real cause of mental disorders in this country is the communitarian attack on principled individualism and the massive indoctrination of Americans with the altruist-collectivst principles of the Communist morality including selflessness and the sense of community. Communitarian administrations, including Bush, have adopted the Russian system of forcing consumers to have primary care providers, who will of course be trained to provide "appropriate" treatment for "mental health problems." According to the Communist Manual, all doctors, psychiatrists, and community health workers will bet trained in Marxist-Lenin Communist doctrine and will monitor their patents' thoughts and effectively work to prevent outbreaks of dissent or rebellion."
It easy to scoff at such a statement unless you have read all of her thoroughly researched books as well as other talented writers like Mary Starrett who have written on this issue. This type of research does require an enormous amount of time - something most Americans simply aren't interested in doing when they can get their 15-second sound bites from Rather, Brokaw, et al. Others who genuinely do care are buried with familial responsibilities which is also part of the brilliant, evil plan to enslave America: keep both parents chasing to put food on the table so they have little time to study the events which directly affect their lives.
Unconstitutional
Ron Paul may feel the best he can do is attempt to get parental notification, but I say no more band aids. The only question that should be addressed here is this: Where does the U.S. Constitution, specifically Art. 1, Sec. 8 authorize Congress to legislate that all children in America be forced to undergo mental health screening or testing? Simply put, there isn't any authority.
The "general welfare" clause of the Constitution can't be used. This quote is from the general welfare clause link: "The Anti-Federalists still weren't satisfied. Hamilton and Madison came back to re-state that if the general welfare clause conveyed absolute power to the government, why would they go on to list the specific powers they were going to grant the government? That wouldn't make any sense at all if they were going to give absolute power to this government. It was finally conceded by all at the convention that the general welfare clause conveyed absolutely no power to the government."
In other words, Congress is and always has been restricted to the areas specifically cited in Art. 1, Sec. 8. Forced mental health screening and/or testing for America's children flat out does not fall within their jurisdiction. Is there case law to back this up? Yes, in Lopez v US (1995) the U.S. Supreme Court said Congress overstepped its legislative authority when it passed a law regarding "gun free school zones." While that case was about guns, the basic argument is still the same: Congress doesn't have the authority to legislate outside Art. 1, Section 8, period. I'm certain there are dozens of cases that can be used to argue against this dangerous monster looming over America's parents.
What can you do? First, call your federal house member and your counterfeit U.S. Senator and tell them that you will refuse to submit your child to any forced mental health screening. Tell them no. This land belongs to us. We the people. There can no longer be any hesitation on the part of the American people to stand up to these one world government advocates in Washington, DC. They are our servants and work for us. Yes, it is a bit scary for those who have never stood up to the federal machine before, but we must and we must do it together, unified.
Second, Call the White House and politely tell the comment line that even if this Machiavellian plan becomes law, you will refuse to submit your child to any forced mental health testing, treatment or otherwise. Those members of my family who have children under 18 have already done this. Time is short, please do it today. Even if the vote doesn't happen this week, it will happen - every phone call will count. White House numbers: Comments: 202-456-1111; Switchboard: 202-456-1414; Fax: 202-456-2461; E-Mail: President George W. Bush: [email protected]
Third: If you belong to fine organizations like Concerned Women of America, contact their leadership and ask them to use the power of the Internet to get their members to begin flooding Congress and the White house with calls, all conveying the same message: under no circumstances will you submit your child to any forced government mental health screening, treatments or programs. There are roughly 30,000 citizens groups in this country which represent tens of millions of adults. The roar heard by Washington, DC on this effort must be so massive, that Bush's master plan (New Freedom Commission on Mental Health) is crushed.
The other important action everyone can take is to financially support those public interest law firms that will most likely be the ones to fight a case brought by a parent who refuses to submit their child to this forced testing. Should the Republican controlled Congress pass this dangerous legislation (which Bush will sign it into law in a NY second), make no mistake: they will move on your children and grand children before the ink dries. Bush signed the Executive Order to set up this mental health commision back in April 2002, so they've had plenty of time to lay the groundwork and get ready - all they need is Congress to pass the legislation.
This is one of the most important fights we face and those parents who refuse will need legal representation. As my daughter is 29, it doesn't affect me, but I am making my financial donation to the Thomas Moore Law Center because this is a righteous fight. It is a fight to stop the federal machine from taking control of America's children and reshaping their minds through drugs and propaganda. Thank you.
