The Illegality of Psychiatric Imprisonment, Forced Drugging and Forced Electroshock in the U.S.

Between the months of September and December 19, 1974, I was a prisoner in five different psychiatric hospitals by my own side in Greece, Italy, Germany and the United States while in the U.S. Army.
It did not take long for me to recognize Psychiatry as more of an assault weapon than a science.
I went into the United States Army about a year and an half before the end of the Vietnam War for us. So I was not in Vietnam; nor did I go into combat.
Trained in Basic Combat Training at Ft. Dix, New Jersey, I then went for Advanced Individual Training for Field Artillery at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma.
Upon graduation, the Army sent me to Snow Hall, also at Ft. Sill, after passing the requirements for a security clearance, for instructions in Special Weapons (Nuclear Weapons) and training to survive a CBR environment in a combat scenario. CBR means “Chemical, Biological and Radiological Warfare” or “Weapons of Mass Destruction.”
To get that far, I needed a completely clear record with no history of criminal activity or psychiatric issues.
Yet, when I left the Army, there was a comprehensive “history” of psychiatric disorder in my medical records to certify I was a Schizophrenic personality of the paranoid type.
It was put there to conceal criminal activity on my Base in Elefsis, Greece.
Within a few months I challenged the truthfulness of these records but got nowhere, even when I went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States. For it did not take long for me to realize there was always a collusion between the courts and the Attorney General’s office leaving me with no level playing field.

I spent years trying to resolve this problem and, particularly, to expose it through our national and international news media. Every single time, without an exception, I was ignored. Even my political representatives ignored me.

Interestingly, I found a clear and precise pattern of people in the Veterans Administration interpreting my behavior within the framework of what they thought they knew about psychiatry. Almost every staff member, with the exception of psychiatrists, accepted everything in my medical records on face value.

I even had to fight the problem of VA staff members falsifying my medical records. That did not stop until I took five members of the VA to District Court, including the Director of the VA facility, with an Application for a Criminal Complaint in a Show and Cause Hearing; for criminal fraud. Then that took two years for the Clerk’s office to process the application. They did not want to handle it.

Again, I ran into a collusion between the Clerk/Magistrate and an Assistant AG. I have learnt that, when I file complaints against federal employees for criminal behavior, the defense attorneys always argue nonsensically. They would stand up in court for 30 to 90 seconds to deny all allegations, responsibility, liability or probable cause a crime had occurred. They are that irresponsible. Not once, in all of these years, did any of these defense attorneys submit any form of evidence to support their arguments.

Nevertheless, although the case was dismissed immediately after a 90 minute “probable Cause Hearing”, every member was required to resign, including the Chief of Psychiatry,the Director and a Nurse Practitioner (who,in spite of her advance education, wrote extensive and highly pretentious interpretations of everything I said within the framework of the false psychiatric material in my medical records).

She even prescribed psychotropic medication on the basis of the material she read in my files within first taking the time to conduct an independent diagnosis. In every instance, I refused to take this medication. In my view, some of it was very dangerous.

Yes, I have been fighting this problem for 39 years and, to be completely truthful, I still do not know the reason behind such a vast conspiracy to destroy me. Although there are several credible theories, I have found little or no evidence to substantiate any of them.

Within six months after leaving the U.S. Army, I wrote out an affidavit describing my experience in exacting detail but got nowhere with it.

Last year, I wrote a 7,000-word manuscript entitled, “The Abuse of Psychiatry.” I am still looking for a publisher. As usual with most editors, when I submitted a query to “Psychology Today”, I did not even receive the decency of a response from the editor. This is a very common reaction from editors when I get over their heads. They are not as well educated as you might thing! Most of them are full of preconceptions, prejudices, biases and “hangups” all over the spectrum of human thought and behavior.

Several years ago, I sent an e-mail message to the Desk Editor of my local newspaper asking him to assign a reporter to me. I explained the reason.

Immediately, he responded with this statement, “We don’t have the ‘horsepower’ to handle this kind of controversy.” Well, at least, he responded. Most editors would completely ignored me.

As far as I can determine, this abuse of psychiatry in our Armed Forces started just before our entry into the Second World War.

Oops! I slipped up. When I said, “They are not as well educated as you might thing!”, I should have said, “They are not as well educated as you might think!

Dear Duane:

If you learn of any editor or publisher willing to handle my 7,000-word manuscript dealing with my experiences with the abuse of psychiatry in the United States Army and our judiciary system, please let me know.

Thanks for your kind response.

I can easily do that … my manuscript is written in Microsoft Word 2007 and located on my Hard Drive and a backup drive. It is a simple matter of downloading it on a web site.

Can someone provide the proper instructions for me? I also have text and graphic conversion capability, if necessary.

I carried out your suggestion, Anonymous. The first few pages of my manuscript was sent to the Publisher for his review.

Since my identity will become available shortly, there is no longer any valid reason for me to identify myself as Egghead.

My name is Alvah Buckmore and I give you permission to examine part of my profile in Facebook. With at least 15 notes written on a variety of subjects, you should get a reasonable insight into my personality; hopefully, it will also be a favorable impression.

I have been a published author since November of 1972 when I wrote and published “First Steps to Satellite Communications” in Ham Radio magazine.

My last published article was “The Little Visitor from another World” in Open Mind magazine of their April/May 2012 edition.

Presently, I am reviewing a contract to write a book entitled, “The Power of Human Sexual Fantasy.” No! It’s not pornography. It is a scientific dissertation on the way we use sexual fantasy and its effect on human development, culture, crime and relationships.

I have been researching this subject since I was in high school.

Oh, I am sending the entire manuscript to Jim Gottstein.
