Psychiatric Oppression Opposed: Landmark Case

"Albert Haines has spent 25 years of his life locked up. He was convicted of a minor crime and handed over to a mental institution. Psychiatrists have refused to let him out, even though they can’t really say what’s wrong with him and keep changing their diagnoses.

Below are some of the excerpts which I think worth re-iterating:

"...he is the first person in the history of England to obtain a public hearing, instead of the standard secret tribunal in which the psychiatric system is answerable to no one."

"...the psychiatrist has set up a self-fulfilling diagnosis. If Haines disagrees, or worse, if he resists, then by definition, he’s paranoid and psychotic."

"This is called psychiatry. It’s a secret system, one that keeps prying eyes from seeing behind the walls by saying it’s for the patient’s benefit. If they were so sure of the legitimacy of what they do, why must they keep it secret?"

"If you think this couldn’t happen to you, keep in mind that there have been 100,000 secret tribunals in England over the last seven years. Who are these people? We simply don’t know. It’s all locked up behind those walls."

Recent events around the world, from the Arab Spring, to the current Occupy Wall Street movement are demonstrating very clearly that the world is sick of Old School Authoritarians who wield an inordinate amount of power and have, for centuries, been beyond question. Dictators have had their day, now its bankers... maybe tomorrow it will be the PDocs.
