severly 'hampered' by you-know-who and some of the messages that I

This is a post about the 'new and improved' mental health laws which
will be used against American citizens. Be assured that it is going
to be crucial in how TI's deal with their problems, though if not

New Freedom Initiative
President Bush announced the New Freedom Initiative on February 1,
2001, as part of a nationwide effort to remove barriers to community
living for people with disabilities. Today (based on statistics
included in the President's announcement), there are more than 54
million Americans living with a disability, representing a full 20
percent of the U.S. population. Almost half of these individuals have
a severe disability affecting their ability to see, hear, walk or
perform other basic functions of life. In addition, there are more
than 25 million family caregivers and millions more who provide aid
and assistance to people with disabilities.
The New Freedom Initiative is a comprehensive plan that represents an
important step in working to ensure that all Americans have the
opportunity to learn and develop skills, engage in productive work,
make choices about their daily lives and participate fully in
community life. The Initiative's goals are to:
� Increase access to assistive and universally
designed technologies;
� Expand educational opportunities;
� Promote homeownership;
� Integrate Americans with disabilities into the
workforce;
� Expand transportation options; and
� Promote full access to community life.

Executive Order 13217
As a part of the New Freedom Initiative, the President issued
Executive Order 13217, "Community-Based Alternatives for Individuals
with Disabilities," on June 19, 2001. The Order called upon the
federal government to assist states and localities to swiftly
implement the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Olmstead
v. L.C., stating: "The United States is committed to community-based
alternatives for individuals with disabilities and recognizes that
such services advance the best interests of the United States."

A fact sheet about the Executive Order may be found at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/06/20010620.html
Executive Order 13217 directed six federal agencies, including the
departments of Justice, Health and Human Services, Education, Labor
and Housing and Urban Development and the Social Security
Administration to "evaluate the policies, programs, statutes and
regulations of their respective agencies to determine whether any
should be revised or modified to improve the availability of
community-based services for qualified individuals with disabilities"
and to report back to the President with their findings. The
departments of Transportation and Veterans Affairs, the Small
Business
Administration, and the Office of Personnel Management, though not
named in the Executive Order, also joined in the implementation
effort.
Together, these agencies formed the Interagency Council on Community
Living under the leadership of HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson. HHS
presented President Bush with Delivering on the Promise: Compilation
of Individual Federal Agency Reports of Actions to Eliminate Barriers
and Promote Community Integration, a compilation of reports from all
participating federal agencies, on March 25, 2002. The full text of

The New Freedom Initiative (US): Ready To Be Tested?
Information Access
According to a Progress Report, The New Freedom Initiative is a new
project announced by the White House to "help Americans with
disabilities ...". But apparently, President Bush plans to unveil
next
month a sweeping mental health initiative that recommends screening
for every citizen and promotes the use of expensive antidepressants
and antipsychotic drugs. Under the initiative, every citizen of
virtually every age, including preschool children, is to be screened
for mental illness. Schools will be used as the screening centres for
the 52 million kids and 6 million teachers who attend them.
Here is an excerpt from the Mental Health Commission report driving
this initiative: "The Commission concluded that the mental health
service delivery system in the United States must be substantively
transformed. In the transformed system: 1) Americans understand that
mental health is essential to overall health; 2) mental health care
is
consumer and family-driven; 3) disparities in mental health services
are eliminated; 4) early mental health screening, assessment, and
referral to services are common practice; 5) excellent mental health
services are delivered and research is accelerated; and 6) technology
is used to access mental health care and information.
The model for the New Freedom initiative is the TMAP, which stands
for
the Texas Medication Algorithm Project - that's right, the state that
George used to govern, a project that first saw the light of day
during his time in office there. TMAP promotes the use of the new,
and
more expensive, antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs, such as
Zyprexa (olanzapine), which is Eli Lilly's best selling drug. It
grossed $4.28bn in 2003, with 70 per cent of the revenues paid for by
government agencies such as Medicare and Medicaid." Critics say the
plan protects the profits of drug companies at the expense of the
public. b>Will you pass George's mental health test?

Bush plans to screen whole U.S. population for mental illness
Sweeping initiative links diagnoses to treatment with specific drugs
Posted: June 21, 2004
5:00 p.m. Eastern

A sweeping mental health initiative will be unveiled by President
George W Bush in July. The plan promises to integrate mentally ill
patients fully into the community by providing "services in the
community, rather than institutions," according to a March 2004
progress report entitled New Freedom Initiative
(www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/toc-2004.html). While some
praise the plan's goals, others say it protects the profits of drug
companies at the expense of the public.
Bush established the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health in April
2002 to conduct a "comprehensive study of the United States mental
health service delivery system." The commission issued its
recommendations in July 2003. Bush instructed more than 25 federal
agencies to develop an implementation plan based on those
recommendations.
The president's commission found that "despite their prevalence,
mental disorders often go undiagnosed" and recommended comprehensive
mental health screening for "consumers of all ages," including
preschool children. According to the commission, "Each year, young
children are expelled from preschools and childcare facilities for
severely disruptive behaviours and emotional disorders." Schools,
wrote the commission, are in a "key position" to screen the 52
million
students and 6 million adults who work at the schools.
The commission also recommended "Linkage [of screening] with
treatment
and supports" including "state-of-the-art treatments" using "specific
medications for specific conditions." The commission commended the
Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) as a "model" medication
treatment plan that "illustrates an evidence-based practice that
results in better consumer outcomes."
Dr Darrel Regier, director of research at the American Psychiatric
Association (APA), lauded the president's initiative and the Texas
project model saying, "What's nice about TMAP is that this is a
logical plan based on efficacy data from clinical trials."
He said the association has called for increased funding for
implementation of the overall plan.
But the Texas project, which promotes the use of newer, more
expensive
antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs, sparked off controversy when
Allen Jones, an employee of the Pennsylvania Office of the Inspector
General, revealed that key officials with influence over the
medication plan in his state received money and perks from drug
companies with a stake in the medication algorithm (15 May, p1153).
He
was sacked this week for speaking to the BMJ and the New York Times.
The Texas project started in 1995 as an alliance of individuals from
the pharmaceutical industry, the University of Texas, and the mental
health and corrections systems of Texas. The project was funded by a
Robert Wood Johnson grant - and by several drug companies.
Mr Jones told the BMJ that the same "political/pharmaceutical
alliance" that generated the Texas project was behind the
recommendations of the New Freedom Commission, which, according to
his
whistleblower report, were "poised to consolidate the TMAP effort
into
a comprehensive national policy to treat mental illness with
expensive, patented medications of questionable benefit and deadly
side effects, and to force private insurers to pick up more of the
tab" ( http://psychrights.org/Drugs/ AllenJonesTMAPJanuary20.pdf).
Larry D Sasich, research associate with Public Citizen in Washington,
DC, told the BMJ that studies in both the United States and Great
Britain suggest that "using the older drugs first makes sense.
There's
nothing in the labeling of the newer atypical antipsychotic drugs
that
suggests they are superior in efficacy to haloperidol [an older
"typical" antipsychotic]. There has to be an enormous amount of
unnecessary expenditures for the newer drugs."
Olanzapine (trade name Zyprexa), one of the atypical antipsychotic
drugs recommended as a first line drug in the Texas algorithm,
grossed
$4.28bn (�2.35bn) worldwide in 2003 and is Eli Lilly's top
selling
drug. A 2003 New York Times article by Gardiner Harris reported that
70 percent of olanzapine sales are paid for by government agencies,
such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Eli Lilly, manufacturer of olanzapine, has multiple ties to the Bush
administration. George Bush Sr. was a member of Lilly's board of
directors and Bush Jr. appointed Lilly's chief executive officer,
Sidney Taurel, to a seat on the Homeland Security Council. Lilly made
$1.6m in political contributions in 2000 - 82 percent of which went
to
Bush and the Republican Party.
Jones points out that the companies that helped to start up the Texas
project have been, and still are, big contributors to the election
funds of George W Bush. In addition, some members of the New Freedom
Commission have served on advisory boards for these same companies,
while others have direct ties to the Texas Medication Algorithm
Project.
Bush was the governor of Texas during the development of the Texas
project, and, during his 2000 presidential campaign, he boasted of
his
support for the project and the fact that the legislation he passed
expanded Medicaid coverage of psychotropic drugs.
Bush is the clear front runner when it comes to drug company
contributions. According to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP),
manufacturers of drugs and health products have contributed $764 274
to the 2004 Bush campaign through their political action committees
and employees - far outstripping the $149 400 given to his chief
rival, John Kerry, by 26 April.
Drug companies have fared exceedingly well under the Bush
administration, according to the centre's spokesperson, Steven Weiss.
The commission's recommendation for increased screening has also been
questioned. Robert Whitaker, journalist and author of Mad in America,
says that while increased screening "may seem defensible," it could
also be seen as "fishing for customers," and that exorbitant spending
on new drugs "robs from other forms of care such as job training and
shelter programmes."
But Dr Graham Emslie, who helped develop the Texas project, defends
screening: "There are good data showing that if you identify kids at
an earlier age who are aggressive, you can intervene... and change
their trajectory."

The New Freedom Initiative
Its the "New Freedom", Folks!
Declaration of Refusal to Comply - Please Sign
It is already happening in Illinois
Illinois must be a test state.
While people there are getting ready
to move out of state,
the federal government is moving to
institute the program in all states.
Thanks to Norman for the Illinois link.
"If ever there existed a reason for citizens to rise up against the
governing elite, this is such a cause. It is imperative that the
citizens of this state recognize both the folly and offensive nature
of this program."
- M. Dennis Paul, PhD
Forced mental health evaluations
Here we go again. This is NOT about freedom! Here comes the federal
government seeking to "help" people again. This time they plan to
force every American into mandatory mental health evaluations
starting
with school children and their teachers - an easy-access population
controlled by funding-hungry school administrators.
You who are going through CPS trauma and family-interference should
know better than anyone that a mandated, forced mental health
evaluation is an intrusive, distressing process. It is a violation of
your right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment.
This "New Freedom" is another violation of the Tenth Amendment which
states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people." This is the latest in a long
line of violations. The federal government unconstitutionally
interferes with child welfare, health care, education and so much
more.
Just like many other laws Bush signed, the "New Freedom Initiative"
is
deceptively named. This is not for more freedom. It is for violations
of our freedoms and our rights to decline intrusive health
evaluations. Do you realize in 2003 Bush signed a law called "Keeping
Children and Families Safe" that renewed child welfare funding and
included a new clause allowing caseworkers to intrude on your
formerly
private medical records? Do you think your children and families are
safer now?
Do you realize this followed the new medical "privacy" act, HIPPA,
that keeps your closest relatives from being able to ask your doctor
how you're doing, but allows all HHS employees full access to your
records? Does this feel like medical record privacy to you?
Do you think the Patriot Act and its violation of Constitutional
Rights was something real patriots would approve of?
So who does this "New Freedom" benefit? Drug company owners, that's
who. They'll be dishing out more psychotropic drugs than ever. It
will
also help the fascists who are controlling our government to keep our
dissidents and independent thinkers under chemical restraints just
like they've done to so many children in fosterincarceration
facilities. It will help them break down the will and autonomy of the
population, forcing more beautiful souls to become mindless,
over-medicated sheep.
People who truly need mental health services have a way of
identifying
themselves and they are already getting services. Forced mental
health
evaluations and forced medications are not needed for every child and
adult in the US population. This is about government control, not
about "helping" and not about freedom.
Public schools to be used as children's mental health centers
"Schools are where children spend most of each day. While schools are
primarily concerned with education, mental health is essential to
learning as well as to social and emotional development. Because of
this important interplay between emotional health and school success,
schools must be partners in the mental health care of our children."
- From the Final Report of the New
Freedom Commission
By starting this intrusive scheme in public schools a new generation
of children will become accustomed and acclimated to the government's
new role of forced mental health "services"... just like most young
Americans today think CPS is a normal part of life even though the
system started less than forty years ago.
Adults will be forced into evaluations too
Imagine a world where you're forced to get a mental health evaluation
whenever you need medical help of any kind, when you're in need of
temporary shelter, or when you apply for senior housing. Imagine a
world where government doctors will decide to force unwanted
medications on you.
Its coming. Here's what the Final Report of the New Freedom
Commission
suggests:
"The Commission supports implementing systematic screening procedures
to identify mental health and substance use problems and treatment
needs in all settings in which children, youth, adults, or older
adults are at high risk for mental illnesses or in settings in which
a
high occurrence of co-occurring mental and substance use disorders
exists. In addition to specialty mental health and substance abuse
treatment settings, screening for co-occurring disorders should be
implemented when an individual enters the juvenile or criminal
justice
systems, child welfare system, homeless shelters, hospitals, senior
housing, long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and other settings
where populations are at high risk. Screening should also occur
periodically after an individual enters any of these facilities."
"When mental health problems are identified, children, youth, adults,
and older adults should be linked with appropriate services,
supports,
or diversion programs. Additionally, given the high incidence of
substance use disorders among parents of children in the child
welfare
system, where indicated, these parents should be screened for
co-occurring disorders and linked with appropriate treatment and
supports."
- From the Final Report of the New
Freedom Commission
It sounds like CPS for everyone!
Can you imagine not being able to get into senior housing just
because
you refuse a mental health evaluation or refuse to take mis-
prescribed
meds?
Can you imagine going to the hospital for back surgery and being
forced to have a psychological evaluation while you're there?
These evaluations are not just for the mentally ill. They will be
forced on everyone, one way or another. As time goes by the
control-freaks in the government will find more and more ways to
force
these evaluations and medications, to oppress and enslave us.

Expressing the sense of Congress that Congress should adopt and
implement the goals and recommendations provided by the President's
New Freedom Commission on Mental Health through legislation or other
appropriate action to help ensure affordable, accessible, and high
quality mental health care for all Americans.
Whereas the National Institute of Mental Health has found that 22.1
percent of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a diagnosable
mental disorder each year;
Whereas the National Institute of Mental Health has found that 4 of
the 10 leading causes of disability in the United States are mental
disorders;
Whereas approximately 90 percent of the 30,000 people who commit
suicide in the United States every year have a diagnosable mental
disorder;
Whereas the President created the New Freedom Commission on Mental
Health on April 29, 2002 to study the mental health service delivery
system and make recommendations to enable people with serious mental
illness to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their
communities;
Whereas the Commission identified 6 goals to begin transforming
mental
health care in America: (1) to help all Americans understand that
mental health is essential to overall health; (2) to make mental
health care consumer and family driven; (3) to eliminate disparities
in mental health services; (4) to make early mental illness
screening,
assessment, and referral to services common practice; (5) to ensure
delivery of excellent mental health care and acceleration of mental
illness research; and (6) to use technology to access mental health
care and information;
Whereas the Commission has made a number of recommendations to
Congress to implement its goals;
Whereas the Commission has recommended that to implement its first
goal of helping Americans understand that mental health is essential
to overall health, Congress should address mental health with the
same
urgency as physical health, as well as develop and advance a national
strategy for suicide prevention and a national campaign aimed at
reducing the stigma attached to seeking mental health care;
Whereas the Commission has recommended that to implement its second
goal of making mental health care consumer and family driven,
Congress
should support the practice of developing an individualized plan of
care for every individual with a serious mental illness, encourage
mental health care providers to involve consumers and families in the
mental health system and the path toward recovery, take action to
realign relevant Federal programs to improve consumer access and
accountability for mental health services, support the States in
developing extensive, coordinated mental health systems, and
encourage
the protection and enhancement of the rights of people with mental
illness;
Whereas the Commission has recommended that to implement its third
goal of eliminating disparities in mental health services, Congress
should support improved access to quality care in rural and
geographically remote areas and ensure that mental health care
providers are trained to work effectively with culturally diverse
populations;
Whereas the Commission has recommended that to implement its fourth
goal of making early screening, assessment, and treatment of mental
illness a common practice, Congress should help promote children's
mental health by improving and expanding school mental health
programs, encouraging screenings for mental disorders (including
co-occurring substance use disorders) in primary health care, and
supporting appropriate referral to treatment and integrated treatment
strategies;
Whereas the Commission has recommended that to implement its fifth
goal of ensuring the delivery of excellent mental health care and the
acceleration of mental illness research, Congress should encourage
the
acceleration of research to promote recovery, cures, and prevention,
the advance of evidence-based practices using dissemination and
demonstration projects, the improvement and expansion of the
workforce
which provides these services, and the development of a base of
knowledge in understudied areas;
Whereas the Commission has recommended that to implement its sixth
goal of using technology to access mental health care and
information,
Congress should encourage the use of health technology and telehealth
to improve access and coordination of mental health care,
particularly
for Americans in remote areas or in underserved populations, and the
development and implementation of integrated electronic health
records; and
Whereas these goals are interrelated and must be pursued together as
quickly as possible: Now, therefore, be it

Over 5200 Concerned Adults Refuse to Comply with New Freedom

A big thanks to all of our listeners who signed this and to Dr.
Breeding who started this petition on The Alex jones Show
5200 people from all over the country and even from other countries
have signed up to oppose President Bush's New Freedom Commission's
plan to screen every child in United States schools for "mental
illness." These citizens have joined together in the following
statement: "We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that we will not
allow our children to be the subjects of any form of implementation
of
New Freedom Commission recommendations to screen our children for
signs of `mental illness.'"
(PRWEB) October 21, 2004 -- A Declaration of Refusal
Over 5000 people from all over the country and even from other
countries have now signed up to oppose the President Bush's New
Freedom Commission's plan to screen every child in United States
schools for "mental illness," and get as many as possible on
expensive, dangerous psychiatric drugs, in order to profit some of
the
primary contributors to his presidential campaign. Voices from all
over America are being heard, saying "We promise to actively resist
further intrusion of psychiatry into the public schools, and will not
cooperate in any way with those who act as agents of this wrong-
headed
government initiative.
We do not now and will not later consent to the psychiatric or
psychological testing of our children by those who act as agents to
implement New Freedom recommendations for universal mental health
screening of our children." Republicans and Democrats, Green Party
and
Libertarians and people with no political affiliation alike are all
raising a cry to say that this plan will NOT go into effect.
U.S. Representative Ron Paul is fighting in Congress to stop funding
for children's mental health screening, and is the sponsoring author
of HR 5236, a bill called "Let Parents Raise Their Kids," which will
deny funding for any mandatory mental health screening in the
schools.
Paul declared that "Parents must do everything possible to retain
responsibility and control over their children's well-being... The
federal government is slowly but surely destroying real families, but
it is hardly a benevolent surrogate parent."
John Breeding, PhD, director of Texans for Safe Education (
www.wildestcolts.org ), a citizens group which sponsors the
Declaration of refusal along with Parents for a Label and Drug Free
Education, states that "Far more people are upset with the President
for this plan than his margin of victory in Florida which gave him
the
election in 2000. I have rarely seen such a bipartisan outpouring of
dissent. Parents everywhere are drawing the
A Series of articles by Jeanne Lenzer in the British Medical Journal
are exposing the corruption behind the Texas Medication Algorithm
Project (TMAP), revealing that drug company money played a major role
in TMAP development, which subsequently resulted in huge payoffs for
their high dollar psychiatric drugs. The public is outraged that at
least half of the New Freedom Commissioners were directly involved
with TMAP.
Pennsylvania whistleblower Allen Jones states that, "The
pharmaceutical industry has methodically compromised our political
system at all levels and has systematically infiltrated the mental
health service delivery system of this nation. They are poised to
consolidate their grip via the New Freedom Commission and the Texas
Medication Algorithm Project. The pervasive manipulation of clinical
trials, the non-reporting of negative trials and the cover-up of
debilitating and deadly side effects render meaningful informed
consent impossible. Doctors and patients alike have been betrayed by
the governmental entities and officials who are supposed to protect
them."
Able Child President Patricia Weathers, whose website posted the
Declaration of Refusal on 9-04-04 states, "When did our government
decide they had a right to override our Constitutional right to
liberty and dictate to us how to live our lives? The rapid responses
to this petition, 4,000 signatures in the first 3 days (and still
growing rapidly), show the widespread support and decision to thwart
the intentional and flagrant disregard of human rights inherent in
universal mental health screening. We invite all parents and anyone

* The Bush Administration wants to give drug companies a mandate
to test and drug our children, and then us.
* This screening is not elective, and it circumvents the
long-cherished notion of parental consent before a medical or
psychological test can be carried out: of course, it starts with
school children.
* The commission concluded that schools are in "key positions" to
screen the 52 million students and six million adults who work at the
schools.
* The possibility that the screening criteria, methodology, and
administration could all be designed and carried out by persons
linked
to the pharmaceutical companies, who have an interest in finding more
mental illness in Americans, is quite real.
* Recently, the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons
(AAPS) criticized a move by the U.S. Senate to join with the House in
funding the New Freedom Initiative because it involved the mandatory
psychological testing of every child in America without the consent
of
parents.
* When the Senate considered the giant omnibus appropriations bill
last week, it included funding for grants to implement the universal
mental health screening for almost 60 million children, pregnant
women, and adults through schools and pre-school.
* None of the funds made available for State Incentive Grants for
Transformation should be used for any programs of mandatory or
universal mental-health screening that performs mental-health
screening on anyone under 18 years of age without the express,
written
permission of the parents or legal guardians of each individual
involved.
* The notion of federal bureaucrats ordering potentially millions
of youngsters to take psychotropic drugs like Ritalin strikes an
emotional chord with American parents, who are sick of relinquishing
more and more parental control to government.
* The so-called political party of small government, the
Republicans, has put into motion a plan which is a poorly-hidden
attempt to build a larger market for high-priced antidepressants and
antipsychotic medications.
