Psychiatry Ill Repute

Churchill

The Defence Forces are reported to be looking for a psychiatrist. No one applied for the role when it was advertised last year. Are you surprised?

Hearing of this, we thought it was a good time to repeat what Sir Winston Churchill wrote about psychiatrists. His words are as applicable today as they were when he wrote them in December 1942. He wrote:

“I am sure it would be sensible to restrict as much as possible the work of these gentleman, who are capable of doing an immense amount of harm with what may very easily degenerate into charlatanry. The tightest hand should be kept over them, and they should not be allowed to quarter themselves in large numbers upon the Fighting Services at the public expense. There are no doubt easily recognisable cases which may benefit from treatment of this kind, but it is wrong to disturb large numbers of healthy, normal men and women by asking the kind of odd questions in which the psychiatrists specialise. There are quite enough hangers-on and camp followers already.”

On Governments and Slavery

Governments are mightily jealous of anyone else having force or power. They want their citizens disarmed and powerless, their neighbours similarly disenfranchised and all unable to resist their every whim and wish.
The end result of this jealously is tyranny and slavery.
Which would be OK if slaves were treated well and the society prospered but that is not what history teaches us happens to slave societies.
When you take their assets, initiative, responsibility and freedom away from the individual and concentrate power in the hands of the few, as can be observed by even the most casual student of history, that society fails and is present only after in the history books or in archeological digs and museums.
How do you make a slave? Give him things. Look at the actions of most present day governments and they are very busy taking from the producers and giving to the indigent. A time tested formula for producing slave societies.
If you want to remain a free man/woman, turn your back on handouts and look anywhere and everywhere for opportunities to do something you love by which to earn your daily bread.
You will be strengthening your survival potential and that of those around you by your example.
