Gel nail art.

Did this for a bride. 3 different colour gel used on the tips. Crystals and silver beads to complete the look and the bling effect!

This is my favourite of all! Looks amazing even without the crystals. For a bride too!

This is for a customer who has short nails. Nevertheless, it still looks great and I love the colour contrast. ;D

Airbrush nail designs

Airbrushed white gradient tips! Added a simple flower on her ring finger.
Design is from a Jap nail blog which customer requested.

White and pink! With lots of crystals.. For a bride!

Rainbow colours! This design reminds me of paddle pop ice cream and my childhood! ;D

Short Bob Haircuts for women

There are so many famous people and celebrities who have grown fond of the short bob and therefore have found a way to make this classic style their very own. These are celebrities that we look towards on a regular basis for fashion as well as hair information and inspiration and therefore, they simply must be at the top of their game when it comes to having the perfect hairstyle.

Which celebrities are most commonly known for the short bob hairstyles that they rock on a regular basis? Victoria Beckham was the original short bob hairstyle woman, as she made it her own with the use of sharp edges and lines that are cut into the asymmetrical hairstyle that has been created for her. She uses this style to her advantage with sleek straight hair that can be styled in a variety of ways.

Katie Holmes is another girl who has rocked the short bob with her smart choice to have bangs included in the short hairstyle. Although the hair reaches barely past her ears, it seems longer and is a sophisticated style that has an heir of class to it.

BURIED: The Film Babble Blog Review

BURIED (Dir. Rodrigo Cortés, 2010)

After cool retro Saul Bass-style opening titles a pitch black screen greets us. We hear heavy breathing and thudding. Finally Ryan Reynolds lights a zippo lighter and we're right there with him - trapped in a wooden coffin buried underground.

Reynolds panics, sweats profusely, claws at the wall, etc. A cell phone at his feet rings. He retrieves it with some difficulty to find that its an Arabic language model. Reynolds calls every number he can think of mostly getting answering machines before getting somebody on the phone from the Hostage Working Group in Iraq voiced by Robert Patterson.

That's right - Reynolds is a non-military working stiff truck driver buried alive in a war-torn Iraq in 2006.

Reynolds is told on the cellphone by a man (José Luis García Pérez) who denies being a terrorist that he has until 9:00 PM (just a few hours) to get his embassy to pay $5 million dollars for his release.

There are some abstract shots through the darkness surrounding our protagonist but the bulk of the entire film takes place inside the coffin.

We never see any other face but Reynolds but there are few recognizable voices on the other end of the phone besides Patterson including Samantha Mathis and Stephen Tobolowsky.

It would be tempting to joke that Reynolds couldn't act his way out of a sealed coffin because years ago I would've loved seeing Van Wilder get buried alive, but his performance is truly excellent here.

It's a convincing and emotional tour de force that kept me riveted from start to finish. It's also admirable that he chose this project as a welcome change of pace from rom coms like THE PROPOSAL and action tripe like WOLVERINE that has been dominating his career.

As chilling a scenario as could be imagined, BURIED is a grueling unpleasant experience in a lot of respects but its such a vital and gripping minimalist nightmare of a movie that it really shouldn't be ignored. It's the right time of the year for a fright and here director Cortés's Hitchcockian thrust really delivers.

"Buried" is now playing at the Colony Theater in North Raleigh. Consult the theater's website for show-times.

MK-ULTRA 2.0 - SSRI Drugs and Mass Mind Control

The SSRI Superhighway - A mind numbing road to enslavement


The Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) class of drugs has become one of the most prescribed - and in some places - the number one most prescribed class of drugs in the world, surpassing even the most common antibiotics, blood pressure and cholesterol reducing medications.

Although the gravity of this fact may be lost on some people, it is truly astounding and unsettling to those who know even a little bit about the history of these drugs and the disastrous effects they have had on the lives of millions of people around the world - both the living victims, and those left dead in the wake of the numerous mass murders and suicides directly related to SSRI drug use.

Upon hearing this fact, many reasonable people will ask, "Are there really THAT many people with major mental illnesses running around in our world, who actually need these kind of drugs?"

And this is exactly the question we should all be asking. Not only asking ourselves and each other in complete disbelief, but even moreso, asking the so-called political and corporate leaders, who have been complicit at every step along the way in the rise, and now complete dominance, of SSRI drugs in our world.

The answer, by the way, is NO - there are nowhere near the number of people with major mental illnesses as there are people who are simply being prescribed SSRI drugs irresponsibly, which is really the point here.

These drugs are now being thrown around like candy by all manner of prescribing physicians, for every conceivable kind of "condition", such as pre-menstrual discomfort and bad moods ("dysphoria disorder"), to name just one such ridiculous excuse for so casually dispensing what are probably the most dangerous drugs in the world.

This phenomenon that has become "The Depression Industry" did not happen overnight. Not by a long shot. Nor was it some isolated "happy accident" of science, or a coincidental series of timely societal events and factors that led to the situation we are in now. The troublesome state of affairs we find ourselves in currently can be defined, very simply, as follows:

The rampant, irresponsible and massive overprescribing of this entire class of dangerous SSRI drugs, which were never intended to be used for most of the relatively minor conditions (including everyday stress, normal sadness from common life events such as job loss, divorce or death in a family, etc.) that they are being used for in today's world - with absolute impunity and almost zero oversight from governments or medical communities of those who are routinely taking serious and unacceptable risks with the lives and sanity of millions of human beings - both their patients, and all of the people around them.

Were these dangerous and (seemingly) unpredictable drugs, designed with the intention of eventually being given out en masse for any and every common ailment that could be imagined, with more "off label uses" than most other drugs that have ever existed in the history of pharmacology?

Were the suicidal and homicidal "side effects" of SSRI drugs that were observed from the very beginning really "unpredictable", or were they, indeed, quite predictable, if not altogether intentional and desirable in their repeatedly demonstrated effects?

Why were these SSRI drugs, which were shown time and again from the beginning to be little (if any) more effective than placebo at reducing (nevermind "curing") depression - their stated goal and purpose - and, in fact, showed significant evidence to the contrary in causing aggravated and worsened mental states, given approvals at all?

This not only includes the US federal government channels (FDA), but also the numerous universities that functioned, ostensibly, as "independent" (but in reality were anything but independent) research and testing facilities, whose Board of Regents members, faculty and others with major conflicts of interest (which would have earned many of them federal prison time had it been the stock market, for example) consisted of more than a few corporate board members from the very companies that were developing the SSRI drugs.

Why would these drugs that demonstrated, at best, effectiveness only slightly better than a "dummy" placebo pill, and even then, only in the most severe cases of specific mental conditions, yet quite clearly did show strong and consistent evidence of inducing akathisia (extreme restlessness, panic, anxiety and psychosis), continue to be developed at all, much less be actively encouraged, promoted and massively financed in their development by the corporate, government, academic and medical establishments worldwide?

The rather ominous official logo of the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO)

Perhaps most importantly of all - why do these drugs continue, to this day, to remain unquestionably supported and encouraged by these same establishments, despite all we know now after decades of "field testing", including some of the most dramatic failures possible for any drug; numerous homicides, suicides, dramatically increased panic/anxiety attacks (which the SSRI was supposed to cure), inducement of diabetes, kidney failure, central nervous system disorders ("serotonin syndrome", among others) and large numbers of spontaneous admissions to mental facilities for psychotic breakdowns in previously stable people?

In many such cases, these were individuals who only began SSRI treatment in the first place because General Practice doctors prescribed these incredibly dangerous drugs for the minor everyday conditions noted above ("stress", death in the family, etc.), and not because a qualified psychiatrist diagnosed any specific, serious mental health condition(s) that would justify the use of these high risk, low reward drugs.

Readers who are familiar with the methodology of the CIA's widespread MK-ULTRA programs - which involved testing literally hundreds of mind-altering drugs on thousands of human beings, both with and without their knowledge or consent, US Citizens and otherwise, and involving both military personnel and civilians - may notice some very disturbing similarities with the early workings and origins of the MK-ULTRA programs and what has now become the entire SSRI drug apparatus; also known as "The Depression Industry".









The Birth of The Monster

Prozac (Fluoxetine) - the best known, and one of the first SSRI drugs; developed by Eli Lilly in 1970.

In the beginning, there was Prozac.

Ok, well, not exactly. We have to go back a little further to understand the source of what has become the plague of SSRI antidepressant drugs in our world.


Zimelidine (Normud, Zelmid) was the first selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant to be marketed. It is a pyridylallylamine, and is structurally different from other antidepressants.

Zimelidine was developed in the early 1980s by Arvid Carlsson, who was then working for the Swedish company Astra AB. It was discovered following a search for drugs with structures similar to brompheniramine (it is a derivative of brompheniramine), an antihistamine with antidepressant activity. Zimelidine was first sold in 1982.

Zimelidine has been banned worldwide due to serious, sometimes fatal, cases of central and/or peripheral neuropathy known as Guillain-Barré syndrome and due to a peculiar hypersensitivity reaction involving many organs, including skin exanthema, flu-like symptoms, arthralgias, and sometimes eosinophilia.

Additionally, zimelidine was charged to cause an increase in suicidal ideation and/or attempts among depressive patients.

After its ban, it was succeeded by fluvoxamine (Luvox) and fluoxetine (Prozac) - both being derived from the antihistamine diphenhydramine (i.e., Benadryl) - in that order, as well as the other SSRIs that came after.

"Rare Adverse Reactions" - Chaos, Suicide and Mass Murder

Andrea Yates drowned all of her five children in her bathtub one day.

She was taking two SSRI antidepressants, at maximum dosages, in addition to the antipsychotic haloperidol (Haldol). There had been an adjustment in the medication two days before this tragedy happened.

That adjustment alone was enough to cause this tragedy, bearing in mind that the most dangerous times by far during SSRI drug "therapy" occur when starting, stopping or changing the dosage of these drugs.

Andrea Yates' mother and brothers asked prosecutors to file criminal charges of negligence against a psychiatrist who treated the Houston homemaker in the weeks before she drowned her children.

Yates' relatives say Dr. Mohammad Saeed, a psychiatrist at the Devereux Texas Treatment Network in a Houston suburb, improperly medicated her with strong psychotropic drugs that are known to cause mania, anxiety, impaired judgment, agitation and aggressive reaction.

"We feel that our family would still be whole today if it were not for Dr. Saeed's terrible misconduct," Yates' relatives wrote to Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal.

But while Dr. Saeed may or may not have been negligent and/or incompetent, he did not invent these extremely dangerous drugs, which were known in the earliest clinical research trials to be highly capable of inducing akathisia (extreme anxiety), leading to suicidal and homicidal thoughts and behavior in many patients.





Effexor and Haldol: The Psychotic Cocktail

Effexor - The Change You Deserve?

Russell Yates contended that as a psychiatrist, Dr. Saeed was responsible for recognizing and properly treating his wife's psychosis, not a medically untrained person like himself. He also claimed that, despite his urgings to check her medical records for prior treatment, Dr. Saeed had refused to continue her regimen of the antipsychotic haloperidol (Haldol), the treatment that had worked for her during her first breakdown in 1999.

Interestingly, Haldol is an older, non-SSRI antipsychotic drug, which is also known to induce akathisia in patients.

Mr. Yates added that his wife was too sick to be released from her last stay in the hospital in May, 2001. He said he noticed the staff lower their heads as if in shame and embarrassment, turning away without saying a word. The hospital had had no other choice due to the ten day psychiatric hospitalization insurance constraints of the Yates' healthcare provider, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, subcontracted by Magellan Health Services.

Andrea's former husband and her birth family, with the input of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (a mental health watchdog group established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology) came to believe that the combination of antidepressants were improperly prescribed by Dr. Saeed in the days before the tragedy was responsible for Andrea's violent, psychotic behavior.

Despite the many obvious problems with the Church of Scientology, their stance on SSRI drugs is one that I agree with, and one area where they are correct - in much the same way that a broken clock is right twice a day.

According to Dr. Moira Dolan, executive director of the Medical Accountability Network, "homicidal ideation" was added to the warning label of the SSRI antidepressant drug Effexor as a "rare adverse event", in 2005. Dr. Dolan reviewed Andrea Yates' medical records at the request of her then-husband, Russell Yates. 

Dr. Dolan said that Andrea Yates had been taking 450 mg of Effexor (Venlafaxine) - twice the recommended maximum dose - for a month prior to killing all of her five children in her bathtub.

The Death Toll Continues: SSRI Drug-Related Suicides and Mass Murders

Del Shannon, the famous singer from the sixties who had the Number One Hit song, "Runaway", committed suicide after only three weeks on Prozac. The pharmaceutical manufacturer has settled this case - quietly, of course.





The Suicide-Mass Murders at Standard Gravure

Joseph Westbecker went on a shooting rampage in Louisville, Kentucky, killing eight people - seven coworkers, and then himself. That case has also been settled by the pharmaceutical manufacturer, for ~ $50 million.

The "Standard Gravure shooting" occurred on September 14, 1989 when 47-year old Joseph T. Wesbecker, a pressman on disability for mental illness entered Standard Gravure, his former workplace, and killed eight people and wounded twelve others before committing suicide after a long history of suicidal ideation - and a short history of taking Prozac.

The murders and subsequent lawsuit against Eli Lilly & Co is covered in the book 'The Power to Harm: Mind, Murder, and Drugs on Trial' (Allen Lane and Penguin 1996) by investigative journalist John Cornwell.

According to CBS's 60 Minutes, "In 1984, five years before he took Prozac, Wesbecker's medical records show that he had this conversation with a doctor. Have you ever felt like harming someone else? 'Yes,' Wesbecker said. Who? 'My foreman.' When? 'At work.' The same medical records show Wesbecker had already attempted suicide 12 to 15 times."

In the years prior to the shooting Wesbecker more than once threatened to "kill a bunch of people" or to bomb Standard Gravure and at one point considered to hire an assassin to kill several executives of the company. Apparently he even discussed these things with his wife before their divorce.

When he left Standard Gravure in August 1988 he told other workers that he would come back, wipe out the place and get even with the company and shortly before the shooting he told one of his aunts that he was upset about things at work and said they will get paid back, but because he said these kinds of things all the time, she didn't take the threat too seriously.

One of the employees at Standard Gravure said after the shooting: "This guy's been talking about this for a year. He's been talking about guns and Soldier of Fortune magazine. He's paranoid, and he thought everyone was after him."

Three days prior to the shooting, on September 11, Wesbecker told his psychiatrist that a foreman at the company had forced Wesbecker to perform oral sex on him in front of his co-workers to get off the folder.


In his notes, the psychiatrist wrote, "Prozac?"


Because Wesbecker had started taking Prozac in August 1989, less than a month before the shooting, the wounded surviving victims and the families of those murdered filed a lawsuit against manufacturer Eli Lilly and Company, claiming that Wesbecker's use of Prozac contributed to his actions. The jury decided 9-3 for Lilly.

It was not revealed until several years later that Eli Lilly had arranged a financial settlement with the plaintiffs in exchange for setting this legal precedent in the company's favor.






One of the Greatest Comedy Minds of Our Time



Comedian Phil Hartman was shot and killed as he slept, by his wife, Brynn, who then shot herself while she was under the influence of cocaine, alcohol and Zoloft.

On the evening of May 27, 1998, Brynn Hartman visited the Italian restaurant Buca di Beppo in Los Angeles County, California, with producer and writer Christine Zander, who said she was "in a good frame of mind".

After returning to the couple's Encino home, Brynn started a "heated" argument with Hartman, who threatened to leave her if she started using drugs again, and went to bed. While he slept, Brynn entered his bedroom shortly before 3 a.m. with a .38 caliber handgun and fatally shot him twice in the head and once in his side, as their children slept in their home.

She then drove to the home of her friend Ron Douglas and confessed to the murder, but initially he did not believe her. The pair drove back to the house in separate cars after which Brynn called another friend and confessed a second time. Upon seeing Hartman's body, Douglas called 911 at 6:20 a.m.

Police subsequently arrived and escorted Douglas and the Hartmans' two children from the premises, by which time Brynn had locked herself in the bedroom and committed suicide, shooting herself once in the head.

The irony here is beyond sickening

The Hartman case for their surviving children against the manufacturer of Zoloft (Pfizer) was settled for an undisclosed amount.









Jeff Weise: The Prozac Nazi?

Jeff Weise was taking Prozac (fluoxetine) for a prolonged period of time.


His Prozac dosage was increased to the commonly maximum prescribed dosage (60 mg per day) one week before the shootings.

He was closely monitored by a mental health professional, teachers, friends and acquaintances. He saw a mental-health professional at Red Lake Hospital on Feb. 21.

His friend Grant had Weise over to his home for sleepovers nearly once a week for seven years.

He was friendly with and loved the people that he shot.

He was described by his aunt as: "(the) nephew she knew as polite and happy",  "He always made me laugh", "he shot my brother, and he was friends with my brother".


Jeff Weise had "a good relationship" with his grandfather, who he shot and killed.


"The daughters said Jeff loved his grandfather, and his grandfather loved him".

His friends said they noticed a negative personality change as a direct result of Jeff taking Prozac.

"Everybody changes when they start taking antidepressants,'" his friend Grant said.

"He was a lot more quiet. I wouldn't say any better."

Family: Teen had 'good relationship' with grandfather he killed

By CHUCK HAGA
March 25, 2005


BEMIDJI, Minn. - Jeff Weise had "a good relationship" with the grandfather he shot and killed as prelude to his deadly assault on students and others at Red Lake High School, according to relatives who are struggling to understand what might have pushed the teenager from sometimes bizarre behavior to mass murder and suicide.

They have sifted through the traumas of his childhood: his father's suicide, the car accident that left his mother with reduced mental capacity, the shuttling between the Red Lake Reservation and the Twin Cities, and the taunts of peers over his appearance, size and outsider behavior.

They wondered, too, about medication he was supposedly taking for depression, and a recent increase in his prescribed dosage.

Lee Cook, director of the American Indian Cultural Center at Bemidji State University and a first cousin to Sgt. Daryl (Dash) Lussier, the grandfather, talked about Monday's tragedy after meeting on the reservation with Lussier's brother, three daughters and other family members.

"The daughters said Jeff loved his grandfather, and his grandfather loved him," Cook said. "There had never been any serious differences or harsh words between them.

"They were surprised by all of this, but they were stunned he would shoot his grandfather."

The .22-caliber rifle that Weise, 16, apparently used to kill Lussier and his companion, Michele Sigana, "might have been Dash's rifle, one he kept around for the kids for hunting," Cook said.

Weise's relatives "knew he had a problem with depression, and they took him to treatment," Cook said. "He was getting counseling." His medication dosage had been increased a week earlier, Cook added.

His grandmother, Shelda Lussier, 54, said he saw a mental-health professional at Red Lake Hospital on Feb. 21, the same day his prescription was refilled for 60 milligrams a day of Prozac, which he had been taking since last summer, The Washington Post reported.

Studies have linked Prozac and similar antidepressants to a greater risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in kids. In October, the Food and Drug Administration revised the drugs' packaging to warn health professionals that they should closely monitor young patients when an antidepressant is prescribed or the dose is changed.

Prozac's manufacturer (Eli Lilly) said monitoring patients being treated for depression is critical, especially if they are children.

Weise, in hundreds of postings attributed to him on the Internet over the past year or so, noted that he was on antidepressants, what he was going through and that he had attempted suicide at least once by cutting his wrists.

In a posting in January, Weise also wrote of his regret over not having ended his life and hinted that another attempt could be on the way. Friends of Weise said this week that he had tried to kill himself earlier this year.

School officials and others have refused to discuss his medical situation except to confirm that he was placed on "homebound status" this year for an unspecified medical problem.

Relatives also "knew he spent time on the Internet, but they didn't really know what he was into there," Cook said, and reports detailing Weise's postings on a Nazi Web site have them shaking their heads.



[Jeff Weise listed this on an internet site as his favorite quote:]


“The law of existance (sic) requires uninterrupted killing… So that the better may live."
– Adolf Hitler

Weise, under a variety of user names, also visited other sites dealing with everything from government conspiracies to surviving school shootings. Last fall, he posted a bloody animated video on the Internet in which four people are shot to death before the gunman shoots himself.

"He was brighter than usual and had a vocabulary more like a college student than a 16-year-old," Cook said.

Weise also had a traumatic early childhood, moving from school to school and experiencing the loss of both parents before he was 10 years old. His father, Daryl Lussier Jr., committed suicide in July 1997 during a police standoff on the reservation. Weise's mother, Joanne, suffered brain damage in 1999 when she and a friend crashed their car after drinking.








The Columbine High School Mass Murders - 1999

The Columbine High School massacre occurred on Tuesday, April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, an unincorporated area of Jefferson County, Colorado, United States, near Denver and Littleton.

Two senior students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 innocent students and one teacher, and wounded more than 20 others. The pair then committed suicide. It was the fourth-deadliest school massacre in United States history, after the 1927 Bath School disaster, the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre and the 1966 University of Texas massacre, and was the deadliest such incident for an American high school.

When the victims of the Columbine shootings got a new attorney, the drug company (Solvay) pulled Luvox (fluvoxamine) from the American market. Luvox is the SSRI drug that Eric Harris was on the day that he went on his psychotic, murderous shooting spree at his school, along with his partner in crime, Dillon Klebold. It is still not publicly known what legal and/or illegal drugs Dillon Klebold may have been taking, because his records have been sealed by the court.

Rest in peace, Rachel Joy Scott

On the day of the Columbine mass murders, Eric Harris lifted Rachel Scott by her hair and asked, “Do you believe in God?”

“You know I do,” she answered.

“Then go be with him,” Harris said, and he shot her in the head.


She was the first to die that morning.

Rachel was 17, and in the year before her murder she had grown more committed in her relationship with God.

Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.

They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal.

The following is a portion of the transcript:

"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good and evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.

The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.

In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.

I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy - it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies. Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best:


'Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!'


" Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation?

We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs - politicians immediately look for a scapegoat, such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.

As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America, and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School, prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA - I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!

My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!"

- Darrell Scott

The names and faces of the innocent people murdered at Columbine.     May they all rest in peace.

Harsh Cold Reality

Please keep in mind that the cases listed above are only a few of the highest-profile cases, and there are far too many others to mention even a fraction of them here. Every one of these tragic situations were caused by the dangerous effects of SSRI drugs, including Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Lexapro, Celexa, Effexor, Serzone, Wellbutrin, Abilify and others.

So many people have already died, and unfortunately, many more will continue to die as a result of SSRI drugs. It will rarely receive the mass media coverage that events like the Columbine, Virginia Tech and Fort Hood mass murders did, because unless the body count is high enough or it happens to be a "slow news day", no one in the mass media really cares.





Counterpoint

For those of you who may be thinking, "Hey, so if that many people are taking these drugs because they are being so overprescribed and thrown around like candy, more or less, then there would have to be a LOT more of these suicidal-homicidal events" - I will direct you to this place, which is a database of thousands of such events, all involving SSRI drug related crimes.

Be prepared, though, because the sheer number of these incidents (more than 4,000) is pretty overwhelming, especially if you had no idea how often these situations are actually occurring in our world.






Medical Privacy vs. Criminal Secrecy

Another aspect of this, in the United States anyway, that works in the favor of the drug manufacturers keeping this data secret, is HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), a federal law signed into law by the degenerate ex-President Bill Clinton.

HIPAA, under the guise of keeping all of our private medical records private, actually serves the pharmaceutical corporations very well, with regard to the SSRI drug situation we're discussing here.

The way it works is this: Anytime there is a violent crime, or a wrongful death (suicide, homicide of any kind, whether the weapon is a car, gun or baseball bat) the blood tests (or toxicology if they died during their crimes) from the murderer, will be known to law enforcement/government, but will not necessarily be released to the public, or even to the media in many cases. What you will often hear on the news, such as this or that happened and alcohol or drugs were involved, will almost never include legal drugs such as SSRIs or any other psych medications.

The reason is HIPAA - that information cannot be released due to "medical privacy" laws, so the majority of the time, we will not be told that these violent incidents, homicides or suicides, involved the person commiting the crimes being under the influence of psych meds - we will only be told about alcohol and/or illegal drugs found in their system the majority of the time. 

So, just keep that in mind as you look through that link I just gave you, and know that there are so many more such incidents that have been kept "private" - oh, what the hell, here is the link again if you missed it.







Let Them Eat Prozac

The best, and most frightening, book you will ever read on this subject

I would like to strongly recommend that anyone who finds this subject interesting and wants to know more about it, visit this website , which is run by the author of the groundbreaking book of the same name, "Let Them Eat Prozac", Dr. David Healy.

David Healy is an Irish psychiatrist who is currently a professor in Psychological Medicine at Cardiff University School of Medicine, Wales. He is also the director of North Wales School of Psychological Medicine. He became the centre of controversy concerning the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medicine and academia.

For most of his career, Healy has held the view that Prozac and SSRIs (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) can lead to suicide and has been critical of the amount of ghost writing in the current scientific literature. Healy's views led to what has been termed “The Toronto Affair” which was, at its core, a debate about academic freedom.



Here is one pretty interesting comment from a reviewer of the book (on Amazon) that I very much agree with:

"The author is an excellent historian who offers a gripping interpretation of the role of the pharmaco-industrial complex in the introduction of SSRIs. His recommendation for a funded agency that would carefully evaluate the benefits and harms of marketed drugs is a superb idea and much needed."

—Jonathan Cole, Harvard Medical School



Although the website has excerpts from this book and lots of great information, I highly recommend reading the book as a whole, if you're interested. It is nothing less than mind-blowing, to be honest.

Written by a doctor who really gives a damn about doing what is right in this world, rather than just playing along with the horribly corrupt "system" and keeping quiet about the criminal behavior of so many people, corporations and universities who deeply affect our entire healthcare system, on a global scale.

If you make the time and effort to read it, you will not be disappointed - but you may be very disturbed and shaken by what he has to tell you.

If you're up for knowing the whole truth about SSRI drugs, this book is absolutely the right place to start.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Ruling Elite Factor
 

I should also mention the fact that the ruling elite who own and control the mass media also own and control all of the largest pharmaceutical corporations, and therefore have a significant financial interest in seeing that these SSRI drugs that are their golden cash cows continue to be marketed, prescribed and swallowed by the masses.

So, it is really no great mystery why they do everything they possibly can to suppress the truth regarding these highly profitable SSRI mind control drugs, which have been shown repeatedly for decades now to be very effective at creating chaos and death in the lives of so many people.

But it cannot be emphasized enough that SSRI drugs have never been shown to be any more effective than a placebo at doing what they were allegedly designed to do - to successfully treat depression.

They simply do not.








Buying The Silence - Millions of $$$ For Victims' Families

When the big pharmaceutical companies settle SSRI-related suicide/murder cases out of court, the agreements include "non-disclosure agreements" (gag orders), so that the families of those killed and murdered cannot discuss anything related to these drugs and the destruction they have caused. 

So, while the families receive some financial compensation for the lost lives of their loved ones, there is no justice. No responsibility or guilt is ever officially admitted, and the business and enormous profits continue as usual for the ruling elite owners and controllers of the global SSRI drug manufacturing cartel.






Final Thoughts

The universal symbol for prescription drugs (Rx) alongside the infamous Eye of Horus.

My best advice for anyone who has already become a user of SSRI drugs for any reason - speaking only as an aware and caring person who is NOT a medical doctor - is to have a long and very serious discussion with your physician about the negative effects and positive results (if there are any) you have experienced, and consider making a serious effort to very slowly and carefully stop taking these drugs over a long period of time - perhaps even 6 - 12 months of weaning off the drugs can be best, depending on which drug is involved, the dosage and the length of time you have already been taking it.  

But please be prepared for the fact that many doctors do not even fully understand the risks of SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome, which is much more serious than the typical withdrawal pangs, discomfort and anxiety caused by suddenly stopping even the most powerful narcotics, such as opiates (Heroin, Oxycontin, etc.), amphetamines or even alcohol.

An amazing view of synapses within the human brain

The key neurotransmitter involved here is serotonin, which even top neurologists and biochemists admit they have not even begun to fully understand all of its purposes and functions within the human brain and body.

The delicate and necessary chemical balance of serotonin within our brains is dramatically changed, and its production is essentially stopped when people take SSRI drugs. These radical changes in brain chemistry simply do not repair and return to their natural (pre-SSRI drug) levels in a short period of time.

It can take many months for most people to begin feeling somewhat "normal" again after even relatively short (six months or less) periods of using these drugs, with some individuals reporting good results from taking a year or more to taper themselves off of SSRI drugs. Going as gradually as possible appears to be the best case scenario, thus giving the brain a fair chance to stabilize slowly and regain its own natural serotonin balance, in its own time.




A very cool  fMRI image of the human brain



If you recall what I said near the beginning of this article, the most dangerous times when taking any SSRI drug are:

Starting, stopping and during any changes in dosage.


So, no matter what your reaction is to reading this article or others like it - please DO NOT just suddenly stop taking these drugs, if you happen to be taking them currently. 

Plan it out very carefully with professional medical guidance, and do it very slowly, if and when you decide that you no longer want these drugs to be a part of your life.


God bless you all, and I wish you the best in completely avoiding or recovering from this plague of SSRI drugs in our world.

Hey, trust me, I know what's best for you!

Take good care of your brains, and take control of them for yourselves - or you can be quite certain that someone else will.
