Over 13,000 mental health professionals have signed an open letter from The Society for Humanistic Psychology (Div. 32 of the APA) to the DSM-5 Task Force, outlining the society’s concerns about the new manual’s development, and calling for the process to be halted and re-thought.

This is the Wannsee Conference II. Essentially we are watching fascists argue with each other over the best way to exterminate the emotional lives of those unacceptable to the standards of the Emotionally Cleansed Pure mind race. .. and more and more types of ‘miscreants’ are gathering in the cleansing net every year.

“Oppositional defiant disorder” lol It’s a ‘mental illness’ to defy the robo-shrinks.
“Lucy Johnstone, a consultant clinical psychologist for the Cwm Taf Health Board in Wales agreed: “(The DSM)is wrong in principle, based as it is on redefining a whole range of understandable reactions to life circumstances as ‘illnesses’, which then become a target for toxic medications heavily promoted by the pharmaceutical industry,” she said”
Well said.! This is the situation in a nutshell. That multi-billion dollar industry owns senators, states, the government, the media, the propaganda system.
What or who can save us from them?

Looking further I see the purpose of the new DSM is to go after several new markets specifically
1 children
2 the socially marginal
3 the psychically impure IE even a little bit or possible symptoms will get you medicated (same idea as the ‘racial purity’ – achieving emotional purity of the population – a bland gullible manipulable, forced smiley face emotionally vacant population incapable of resilience or rebellion)
4 Thought criminals – those who ‘might’ become ‘ill’. (And thus not letting them be ill they are prevented from being cured or healed).
4 Social opponents: radicals, reformers, activists, partisans 🙂 , etc.
The fact that they might ‘drop’ some of the new classifications is no reason to celebrate – the enemy of the population is still alive and well and thriving. This is a war of a corporate entity upon the population. The corporate legal identity is immortal, they have money, power, the propaganda system, ownership of the educational system, the medical systema and time, lots of time.
It’s only a matter of time.
