[ClickPress, Sun Jul 27 2008] The psychiatric watchdog, Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), says the capture of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic will bring to justice a psychiatrist whose genocide of thousands was reminiscent of Nazi psychiatric crime during World War II, and that few people are aware that the "ethnic cleansing" — ridding a geographical area of racially "inferior" people-carried out in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and later in Kosovo, was based on the same psychiatric-inspired racial hygiene programs that led to the Nazi Holocaust.
---

We won't get into which particular religious entity is aligned with CCHR but I feel it's important that a lot of Jews write a lot of angry letters to a lot of newspapers about this press release.

The Holocaust as in eliminating the unwanted parts of society to create a Master Race is not psychiatry, it's from a social philosophy called Eugenics which tries to speed up evolution by removing weaker and undesirable traits from people and society. Eugenics was devised by Sir Francis Galton, who was an explorer, anthropologist and geographer, not a psychiatrist.

What CCHR is leading towards is a man named Ernst Rudin, who was a psychiatrist who also was a eugenicist. However it was his eugenic philosophy that caused the nazis to consider racial cleansing, not his psychiatry.

This I consider to be history revisionism, trying to prove a modern medical science responsible for the deaths of nearly 6 million Jews, rather than the actual philosophy that caused it.

And just because Karadzic started his early career as a psychiatrist does not mean that was the reason he killed 7500 muslims and set up concentration camps. Correlation does not mean causality, it means coincidence. Blaming psychiatry for mass murder is like blaming tolerance towards homosexuals for the rise in the divorce rate.

So... who do we write too?

Every newspaper in America, duh!
This is mad. I've chosen to do a Psychology A-Level, and I'm moving on to study it a university. Does that mean that I'm an Eugenicist? No! First Scientology has a go at the science, and now CCHR?? Sigmund Freud was persecuted, his books burnt; he had to move to Britain because of Eugenics. Yet we all know he was one of the greatest in the general field.
I just say this is another point in time where somebody finds something obscure and blames serious problems on it.
*cough* Global Warming *cough*

CCHR is run by the church of Scientology, Just so you know.

BTW you called Sigmund a Eugenicist, not a Psychologist. May want to edit that.

Actually I meant "because of the Holocaust" by "because of Eugenics".

Actually I found a CCHR building nearby in Cambridge. I make it a point to loiter outside with the guy trying to get people to go into the "Museum of the Horrors of Psychiatry." By standing just off to the side and barking out...

"See how Psychiatry lead to the Holocaust!" Which is part of their exhibit.

People are more reluctant to go into an exhibit that tries to not put the holocaust blame squarely on the shoulders of Nazis.

I've had about a dozen people turn away, just from my "free advertising for their museum." I've had one conversation with a CCHR member who wants to know why I'm persecuting him, another CCHR member who wanted to know if I'm a psychiatrist, or in league with them. 3 museum workers telling me to ******** off... one who actually called the police, who then showed up, saw no laws being broken, did nothing... and left.

So I am officially a nuisance to them. Why? because I loathe history revisionism, especially when it comes to the Holocaust.

And all I'm doing is telling people what's in the Museum.

Freedom of Speech... for the win.

Hense why I tend to stand outside their museum and scare away their clientèle by cluttering the issue with facts.

They really don't like me there.

Well the good news is they're going to be in town only until the 9th. The bad news is, I'm going on vacation this week.

You'll know when I'm away, I hang up my suit and put on beach clothes.
