… another great item from David Pollard’s blog. Say this is a made-up story, please.
It seems hardly a week goes by without another astounding revelation of the Bush Regime’s agenda to intervene without limit into the lives of Americans, and everyone in the world, to further its right-wing, psychopathic agenda. Here’s the latest grim news:
Bush plans to screen all Americans for ‘mental illness’:
As reported in the British Medical Journal, under another Orwellian program entitled, in Bush Newspeak, ‘The New Freedom Initiative‘, Bush wants all Americans, including pre-school children, to be examined by armies of psychiatrists and those showing signs of potential “disruptive or aggressive behaviours and emotional disorders”, to be treated with a range of new, expensive antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs available exclusively from — surprise! — pharmaceutical companies that have contributed three times as much to Bush as to Kerry.
This is a flagrant invasion of government into the private medical histories and choices of Americans — Big Brother doping up American children. The plan, developed in Texas, has been decried there as a massive payoff to the drug companies, and this new initiative makes it a national program. An executive who blew the whistle on kickbacks from pharma companies to the Texas legislators was fired for his indiscretion, the BMJ reports.
