Despite a public image of benevolence, psychiatry and mental health care have intimate historic ties to racist eugenics, the Holocaust, human experimentation, political repression, and brutal treatments. Unless we remember and understand this disturbing legacy, we will fail to see the ways it continues today.

Presented by The Freedom Center, a group of people diagnosed with severe mental illnesses such as bipolar, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorders who work to provide alternatives to the mainstream system.

This panel discussion and community dialog addresses the origins of the biomedical model of psychiatry, the use of mental patients in government funded mind control experiments, the connection between German Nazi psychiatrists and the American Psychiatric Association, and the implications of the Bush Administration’s “New Freedom Commission” mental health policy.

Michael Parenti states that the ruling class desires "Above all to seek a wealth distribution that is markedly, steeply unequal. (To) increase that portion of the gross national income that is unearned income (from investments) And decrease that portion that is earned through wages, saleries, fees and pensions."

Who Killed Martin Luther King?
Recorded 2/11/3 , -Remastered 31May07
Information remains relevant

Press Liaison for the family of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..

Mike Clark states " The Family of M.L.K. had come to believe that James Earl Ray had not killed King alone and unaided. They sued a man ( Lloyd Jowers )
who they had come to believe was part of a conspiracy. And the Civil Jury in Memphis found for the plaintiffs, saying that there was a conspiracy in the death of Martin Luther King involving the man who they had sued ,and others unnamed and unknown."
As Rev. Mike Clark concludes his lecture, he notes: "If a lonely, bitter white man -who'd spent most of his adult life in prison- killed Martin Luther King because he hated black people -then America is one thing.
If on the other hand - a conspiracy resulted in he death of Martin Luther King -A conspiracy that government at the local, state and federal level was involved with -took 30 years to try to prevent the truth from coming out- and still denies to this day that anything I have talked about is of any relevance to any of you - then America is something else...."
