Orlando shooter, US army Fort Hood shooter both linked to psychiatric drugs

by: Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan shot and killed 13 people and wounded 30 others in a violent attack at a Texas Army base this past week. He reportedly opened fire at the Fort Hood army base without any particular reason or motivation. In fact, as a psychiatrist, he had counseled many other soldiers on how to cope with the consequences of extreme violence (losing limbs, mental anguish, etc.).

As an army psychiatrist, he was also allowed to prescribe powerful psychiatric drugs to both his patients and himself. Many psychiatrists self-medicate, and Hasan was extremely anxious about the possibility of being sent overseas by the army, according to statements from family members (Reuters, below). Although official confirmation will probably never be made, it seems altogether likely that Hasan was treating himself with powerful psychotropic medications.

Former UK Ambassador: CIA Sent People to be ‘Raped with Broken Bottles’

clipper's remarks: Murray alleged that in the late 1990s the Uzbek ambassador to the US met with then-Texas Governor George W. Bush to discuss a pipeline for the region, and out of that meeting came agreements that would see Texas-based Enron gain the rights to Uzbekistan's natural gas deposits, while oil company Unocal worked on developing the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline.

"The consultant who was organizing this for Unocal was a certain Mr. Karzai, who is now president of Afghanistan," Murray noted.

"There are designs of this pipeline, and if you look at the deployment of US forces in Afghanistan, as against other NATO country forces in Afghanistan, you'll see that undoubtedly the US forces are positioned to guard the pipeline route. It's what it's about. It's about money, it's about oil, it's not about democracy."

The CIA relied on intelligence based on torture in prisons in Uzbekistan, a place where widespread torture practices include raping suspects with broken bottles and boiling them alive

, says a former British ambassador to the central Asian country.

Craig Murray

said the CIA not only relied on confessions gleaned through extreme torture, it sent terror war suspects to Uzbekistan as part of its extraordinary rendition program.

"I'm talking of people being raped with broken bottles," he said at a lecture late last month that was re-broadcast by the Real News Network. "I'm talking of people having their children tortured in front of them until they sign a confession. I'm talking of people being boiled alive. And the intelligence from these torture sessions was being received by the CIA, and was being passed on."

Murray asserts that the primary motivation for US and British military involvement in central Asia has to do with large natural gas deposits

Twelve shot dead at US army base

Twelve people have been killed and 31 injured in a shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, the commander there has said.

Lt Gen Cone said one shooter had been killed in the incident and two others apprehended. They were all American soldiers. The base is locked down.

The shooters' motivation is not yet known, he said. One of the dead was a policeman but the others were soldiers.

President Barack Obama described it as "a horrific outburst of violence".

Speaking at a press conference in Washington, he said: "It is difficult enough when we lose these brave men and women abroad, but it is horrifying that they should come under fire at an army base on US soil."

He extended his condolences to the families of the victims, adding: "We will make sure that we get answers to every single question about this horrible incident."

Home to about 40,000 US troops, the base lies between Austin and Waco, about 60 miles (97 km) from each city.

Are dads valued as good parents in society?

clipper's remarks: As this article illustrates, I think the answer is usually no. Most dads differ to moms when it comes to parenting or they resort to authoritarian ideas of disciplinary roles. This has changes, fortunately, over the years and more fathers are taking a shared role in parenting. What else can we do to help dads get involved? How can parenting experts encourage dads to come to parenting classes? Share your thoughts or tweet us a reply!

Fathers Gain Respect From Experts (and Mothers)

As much as mothers want their partners to be involved with their children, experts say they often unintentionally discourage men from doing so. Because mothering is their realm, some women micromanage fathers and expect them to do things their way, said Marsha Kline Pruett, a professor at the Smith College School for Social Work at Smith College and a co-author of the new book “Partnership Parenting,” with her husband, the child psychiatrist Dr. Kyle Pruett (Da Capo Press).

Yet a mother’s support of the father turns out to be a critical factor in his involvement with their children, experts say — even when a couple is divorced.

Uninvolved fathers have long been accused of lacking motivation. But research shows that many societal obstacles conspire against them. Even as more fathers are changing diapers, dropping the children off at school and coaching soccer, they are often pushed aside in ways large and small.

Educational Toys For Toddlers

Having kids can be a real challenge sometimes. Thankfully, nowadays it’s easier then ever before because of the educational toys for toddlers available that will help your child progress with motivation skills and other areas.

One very bad habit of parents is when they put their toddler in front of the television instead of letting them play with toys. As a result this teaches them a bad habit because when toddlers watch television instead of playing with toys, it does not help with their imagination. Plus if you start them young enough, they will learn that television is something they are suppose to do everyday and not see it as a treat like it should be.

SEIU Needs Socialized Medicine To Stoke Its Underfunded Pensions

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:11:18 GMT

clipper's remarks: and union employees at the expense of the rank-and-file.

To regain some semblance of fiscal stability, the SEIU has wagered heavily on forcing other employees to help fund its drying pension reserves. That was the motivation behind the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) ("Card Check"), a major Democrat initiative for 2009, and one on which the SEIU spent tens of millions of its members' money.

Since Card Check is in serious trouble with lawmakers, state-run health care would be a suitable alternative.

• The public option could force hospital and other health care workers into underfunded pensions, putting their retirements at risk

• The average union pension has resources to cover only 62% of what is owed to participants

• Less than one in every 160 union-represented workers is covered by a union pension with required assets

• The PBGC already supports upwards of 30,000 pension plans

• Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC), the governmental pension insurer,

The SEIU spent $85 million on Barack Obama's campaign.

Among its biggest rewards would be millions of medical civil servants (and millions of new, dues-paying members). The WSJ's September 10, 2009 op-ed ("Read the Union Health-Care Label -- Get ready for Detroit-style labor relations in our hospitals")

Why is the SEIU so desperate for socialized medicine

union bosses appear to be underfunding their members' pensions, deliberately and systematically, while enriching their own plans. And someone has to make up the shortfall.

Aside from being a major supporter of the far left Democrat agenda, it is tied to ACORN, the sleazy crew of community agitators

So why are the union bosses' pension plans overfunded at 123% and the rank & file union members plans are near "endangered status" at 82%?

While the union blames market conditions, actual fund performance metrics demonstrate that this is not the case. It appears, instead, that the playing field has been tilted to reward the union bosses

According to its website, the Club of Rome is composed of "scientists, economists, businessmen, international high civil servants, heads of state and former heads of state from all five continents who are convinced that the future of humankind is not determined once and for all and that each human being can contribute to the improvement of our societies."

"The threat of pollution, global warming, water shortages, and famine can be used to fulfill humanity's need for a common adversary"

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

The Club of Rome is a global think tank that deals with a variety of international political issues. It was founded in April 1968 and raised considerable public attention in 1972 with its report The Limits to Growth. According to the club's publications, the common enemy of humanity is man, so democracy may not be well suited to the tasks ahead. However, the threat of pollution, global warming, water shortages, and famine can be used to fulfill humanity's need for a common adversary

In 1993, it published the The First Global Revolution. According to this book, "It would seem that humans need a common motivation...either a real one or else one invented for the purpose....In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome

Napoleon Hill - Three Feet From Gold

clipper's remarks: When to give up? How do you know that there is no solution. Hill said, "anything the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

This piece discusses Hill's story about a man who lost a fortune because he gave up too soon and the lesson we can derive from it.

Clip Source: www.therealmikegriffin.com

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.

“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.” –Napoleon Hill

That is a lesson we can all take. A problem presents itself, instead of going home and pulling the covers over our heads we ask ourselves what can we do next, how can we go over, around, or through?

Your mind has greater power than you may know - it is your connection to the infinite and yet most of us keep it focused here on the earth plane rather than on the infinite where the solutions lie.

Personal Motivation Strategies

Think and Grow Rich and Napoleon Hill have turned the minds of many from ordinary reactive thinking into believing in the possibility of great success, turning those minds from being reactive to being visionary. Turning those minds from not believing that “All Things Are Possible” into being extreme optimists.

Kirkpatrick's 4 Levels of Evaluation

To begin with if we accept that one of the goals of instruction is to create motivated learners, we can easily connect student reaction to learning and instruction to motivation (Alao & Guthrie, 1999). If an individual does not like a program, "there's little chance they'll put fourth an effort to learn" (Kirkpatrick, 1996). An environment that is valued and an experience that is enjoyed leads to a learner that is willing and more receptive. A more willing and receptive learner is able to take in and retain more material.
