(the key fact: both of these first began to be part of the public record in the year 1953) World War II saw the large-scale involvement of US psychiatrists in the selection, processing, assessment and treatment of soldiers. This moved the focus away from mental institutions and traditional clinical perspectives. A committee headed by psychiatrist and brigadier generalWilliam C. Menninger developed a new classification scheme called Medical 203, issued in 1943 as a "War Department Technical Bulletin" under the auspices of the Office of the Surgeon General.[4] The foreword to the DSM-I states the US Navy had itself made some minor revisions but "the Army established a much more sweeping revision, abandoning the basic outline of the Standard and attempting to express present day concepts of mental disturbance. This nomenclature eventually was adopted by all Armed Forces", and "assorted modifications of the Armed Forces nomenclature [were] introduced into many clinics and hospitals by psychiatrists returning from military duty." The Veterans Administration also adopted a slightly modified version of Medical 203. WHO were the PEOPLE involved with creating the "bible" of psychiatric diagnoses, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders? The FIRST EDITION? On that team, it is highly likely, were CIA scientists who were also involved with MKULTRA,

  • i am bumping this important subject to the top so that others may view it and comment as they desire...
  • Gina, there is no one way of handling a situation that fits for everyone, since we all have unique needs. Its kind of like, what came first the schizophrenia or the targeting? Which is easier to deal with, the lesser of two evils? Everyone should do what is necessary to stay alive and healthy.
  • Since the onset of my V2k targetting, I have often thought how convenient it was that those of us with this experience fit SO NEATLY into the paranoid schizophrenic category of the DMSIV (which is also the professional/legal standard upon which individuals may or may not be deemed fit to testify at their own court cases--consider these implications. What have you, during the course of your targetting, considered doing that was well outside the bounds of the law? Or, based on your knowledge of the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, what avenues of possible help have you not reached out to?) I recently re-read the criterion for this diagnosis and was very interested to see that the largest percentage of those who fit the par/schiz category are those who 'feel pursued, persecuted, etc especially by the government. ' (I am paraphrasing--the DSMIV is available on-line and at libraries if you are interested.) How interesting. I have little doubt that this category was added to the DSMIV just for targeted individuals, to either discredit them or discourage them from coming forward. I have two children and will probably be unable to ever discuss my situation with a counselor based on the fear that a par/schiz diagnosis could endanger my right to parent them without state/gov't interference. With the ever-increasing popularity of 'mental diagnosis' for all number of issues, what are the chances that TI's will ever be safe to speak to medical professionals re our situations without walking away with a life-long, disabling label? Not very good from what I can see.
    I agree, it is very likely that those in the position of furthering non-consensual experimentation were the ultimate say in certain diagnostic criterion in the DSMIV.
