The unholy alliance between Big Pharma and the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has played a most ruinous role in devitalizing, demoralizing, and dehumanizing our entire nation. The various pharmaceutical combines manufacture the psychotropics and the APA invents the disorders meant for those drugs.

You may be interested to know that the APA has been instrumental in abetting American intelligence agencies in their torture tactics of human life, but they have now hurled their prestige and credibility into dangerously uncharted waters.

In an ignominious move to destigmatize pedophilia, the APA has once more proven just how anti-life they are. In their updated Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the APA now states that adults who secretly wish to have sex with children will no longer be classified as having a severe psychiatric condition. In other words, the APA has suddenly claimed that pedophilia is merely one’s sexual orientation, sexual preference, if you will.

Expect the mainstream media to eventually join the chorus of those who make excuses for sexual child abuse with notables telling us that pedophilia is a personal preference. And who are we to condemn it?

The APA’s manual of disorders makes up for losing one psychosis by classifying over one-quarter of all Americans as having serious psychiatric disorders. Listed among these “afflictions” are premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and pain disorder.

Disliking pain is a psychiatric condition? Who would have guessed it? The bizarre, however, is routine with the APA.

Federal laws, military policies, mainstream media newscasts, government schooling, in fact, almost all American institutions attempt to formulate, direct, and solidify US public opinion. This is exactly what the American Psychiatric Association ventured to do by labeling the crime of pedophilia as merely a sexual orientation.

But that bit of ridiculousness proved to be too much, too quickly. Segments of the American public rose up in outrage and let the APA know about it. Realizing they had moved too swiftly in the grand plan of their hierarchy to further degrade America, the APA backed off claiming an error had been made in their DSM.

Yes, the APA had made an error, but it was not of the typographical nature spokesmen for the association alluded to. Many critics of psychiatry have long predicted that the APA would sooner or later reclassify pedophilia as merely being of a sexual orientation much like homosexuality. But today is not that day. Will tomorrow be that day? It depends on how many Americans wake up to the realities the power structure is trying to effect.

A person, however, who would put their life in the hands of an APA psychiatrist does need help, but obviously not from a member of the American Psychiatric Association and their vast array of deadly prescription drugs ­ all approved by our less than helpful Federal Drug Administration.
