General Anxiety
Disorder GAD

General Anxiety
Disorder.
Has a nice ring to it. I’m sure the clinically addicted have already
formed
support groups, and legislation is under way to give GAD sufferers more
comprehensive access to health services. Bravo.
Please forgive
what may be
misinterpreted as selfish cynicism. But sooner or later we must stop
this
pointless fragmenting of our culture into pseudo-cult support groups.
Everyone
is trying to identify with a group these days; even the non-group
oriented
individual has become a group of sorts. The point is we all need to
identify
with being human, and we don’t seem to have a general enough definition
for what that is.
But that’s
getting away from
the point. The point being, why is there a clinically definable ailment
called, “General Anxiety Disorder”? Have we run out of authentic
physical
ailments to drug people for? So that now all we can come up with are
“General”
problems? Maybe like “General Disorientational Dimensia”, or “General
Disassociative
syndrome”, or maybe even “General Perspective Paranoia”. All of which,
of course, would be caused by treatable chemical imbalances in the
human
nervous system.
The problem with
GAD is that
we all suffer from it. Everyday life in America has become a stressful
event, and we need to publically recognize that. We live under the
constant
stress of an ever fluctuating economy and social environment. The media
is consistently reminding us we can’t trust our neighbors, yet alone
any
one else in the world. The nature of media propaganda in the country is
consistently alienating the individual against everyone else. We have
been
divided and conquered. The rehabiliatory drug program is a further
deepening
of that control. Now that we have been divided on a cultural level, the
drug program is designed to further alienate us against ourselves and
our
family members. If you haven’t already, rent George Lucas’ THX1138 from
a video store near you. An interesting look at a future culture where
the
human population has been reduced to a sedated industrial populace
incapable
of making decisions for or taking care of itself.
I swear, every
time I turn
on prime-time television these days I’m more horrified by what I see
than
I was the last time. We have arrived at the point in history where its
time to start calling stupid, stupid. Because, obviously to me, the
pharmaceutical
company’s seem to think I’m stupid. Which means they think your stupid
too. For me to believe that GAD is a chemical imbalance is for me to
believe
cats and dogs really do talk to each other. There is an obvious
movement
in America to classify most of the population as insane, and get us to
use more and more drugs to cope.
So, we have an
illusionary
war on illegal drugs. Which is a real war, but not to stop drugs coming
into America. It’s a war to control who gets the profit. While in
America
the proliferation of pharmaceutical drug use is expanding out of
control.
Americans are being convinced via the media that we cannot survive
without
drugs. While those who do so called “illegal drugs” know this. They do
them to survive against the economic terrorism, social terrorism and
the
media. Everyone else becomes addicted to the stupid notion western
medicine
can actually heal you. So they run to the Doctor anytime anything feels
wrong and get a pill. Its typical reverse psychology, deny the one
drug,
and capitalize on the other. Only trick being, the parties involved are
profiting from both ends the legal and the illegal.
It is illusion to
think there
are “Good” drugs and “Bad” drugs. Every time I listen to the list of
side
effects caused by new pharmecuetical drugs, they sound to me like they
do more harm than good. I know the main reason people do so called
“Illegal
Drugs”, is because they want to escape from the absurdity of this
American
culture. The biggest drug problem in Amerika, Alchohol, is celebrated
as
a means to do the same thing. Unload the stress of life in Amerika, and
have a better time than you were before you fell under the influence.
Escapism.
Pharmecuetical drugs are done to escape pain or to control ailments
within
the body. Generally speaking, they are an escape from the realities of
industrial living.
Now, don’t get me
wrong because
I’m a cynic. I know some western medicines can help people in certain
situations.
The fact most people don’t realize is the so called “Illegal Drugs”
have
been used by colonial powers for centuries to subvert social groups.
Read
lightly into British history in China. China had to go to war to stop
British
subjugation of its people to opium. Which boiled down to classism, in
that
the British nobles felt the basic chinese people were not important
enough
to respect. They also discovered addicting a certain social group, any
social group, to an addictive substance was profitable. The East India
Co., as well as early enterprises from the “New World”(Amerika), cashed
in on this profit making venture. Thus when you look at the illegal
drug
problem in the world today, you must remove the psychologically
implanted
image of grubby common thugs as being the authors of this peril, and
replace
them with industrialists in clean suits. In fact, if you begin to open
your mind to the fact that the invisible mega-criminal infrastructure
in
the world today is run by hyper industrialists, a lot more of the
political
conditions around you will begin to make sense.
The notion that a
growing
number of American’s are suffering from GAD is a mockery. It suggests
that
we are not capable of fixing the current social and political problems
that are dragging our proud nation into the abyss. Many of our
forefathers
warned us to be wary of the industrialist and his intentions for
domination.
We live with a very thin illusion of freedom, and now we are being
manipulated
into giving that thin thread up for security. When those who would
protect
us are the very sources of our insecurity. The term mind games should
surface
here. Although more to the point we are being mindfucked. Then offered
a sedative to help us cope with the anxiety. If we are to eliminate
GAD,
we must retake our democratic process, fix our social division, acquire
a broad social definition of what it means to be human with a
conscience,
and apply it to our culture. In other words, as a culture, we need to
grow
up.
The social
terrorism we suffer
is caused by our fear of difference. The economic terrorism we suffer
is
the product of capitalism. Capitalism is designed to prostitute our
morals
to profit. The result has been the destruction of our sense of
community,
and the general erosion of moral values. Everyday Americans are pitted
against each other in a passive aggressive conflict for survival. The
basic
approach of our cultural education process is that we, as individuals,
are subhuman until we achieve financial success. The models and hero’s
of our culture are not men of high morals. They are men of high
financial
status, upon which have been attached the concepts of morals and ethics
without ever having been proved. This is illusion. This form of
illusion
leaves us with a feeling of emptiness similar to the empty concepts we
are told to adhere to on a daily basis. We are told to fear the petty
criminal
who has stolen our $20, but for the financier who has embezzled $20
million,
we are made to feel loss at his fall from grace. A man reduced by the
failings
of his business choices. Reduced by the temptations of lesser men.
This is why, as
Americans,
we suffer GAD. Our culture is a mockery to truth. Our politics are a
lie.
Our good causes go broke and unfunded, while our darker expressions
rise
and triumph against our sense of reason. Evil consistently prevails
over
us, mocking us in our inability to stop it. All of our good intentions
are consistently defeated, and it is this growing sense of the invasion
of evil that undermines us spiritually and sends us into depression.
Increasingly,
success can only be achieved by the compromise of morals. Its no wonder
we suffer from GAD. No amount of drugs will make that go away. The
drugs
will only weaken us more, and compromise whatever resolve it will
require
to arrest this plunge into darkness. Don’t fall for this trick. It is
ok
to be depressed these are depressing times. If you are a normal human
being,
the nature of this environment should cause you anxiety. If it does
not,
then you are already well on your way into darkness. The fact that you
feel is key to your survival as a human being. Notice the injustice in
the world for it is the face of evil growing in definition every day.
Don’t
fall prey to the illusion it’s only your problem. We are all in this
together.
