The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an acquaintance, after she posted artwork from here…
Jennifer H.: A bit of both, actually, but when I start to despair of the former I can always count on latter.
“I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they’re not alone.”
Nora R.: Amen.
Rayn: Selah!
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork, being shared by an acquaintance from here, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Claudia C…
Claudia: That is good article!
Narcissistic Disorder to be Eliminated in Diagnostic Manual:

Rayn: Hmmm… This will be happening in 2013. Meanwhile, the DSM will be doing the same thing to Asperger’s Syndrome in 2012.

With all of this restructuring taking place, it would appear that there is a major paradigm shift underway in the field of psychiatry. I wonder which corporate agenda is being served this time… Probably the pharmaceutical industry, again…
Claudia C.: it seems that the only entity benefiting from these changes are indeed the pharmaceutical companies who are not capable to admit that the drugs they are producing are not safe. If they have an altered dsm to this point they can easily claim that the drugs are efficient as opposed to dangerous and inadequate.
The following article was inspired by my debate, “Is Obama Keeping or Breaking His “Promises” As President When He Continues to Engage In Wars?“…
Change You Can Believe In (by Eric J. Garcia)
If you were seduced into Obama’s Illusion of “hope” and “change” and actually voted for him, under the false impression that he would actually END AMERICA’S WARS… it’s finally time to finally admit that YOU WERE NOT “FOOLED” or “TRICKED” by this man!!! YOU JUST WEREN’T PAYING ATTENTION!!!!
Obama has been very busy working on all the promises he made, and all is going exactly according to planned!
Here are some of the statements Obama made when he was still just a candidate on the campaign trail, looking to secure YOUR vote:
Speaking from Afghanistan in a July 20, 2008 interview on “Face the Nation,” Obama said:
“It’s time for us to withdraw some of our combat troops out of Iraq, and deploy them here in Afghanistan, and I think we have to seize that opportunity. Now’s the time for us to do it.”

Translation: MORE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN!
Before that, speaking on August 1, 2007 in an address to the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, DC, Obama stated the same exact agenda, taking it a step further:
“The first step must be getting off the wrong battlefield in Iraq, and taking the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
(http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=58663)
Translation: MORE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN! NEW ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST PAKISTAN!
According to Obama:
“If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will.”
(http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=62500&newsChannel=domesticNews)
Translation: NEW ILLEGAL COVERT WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST PAKISTAN!
Obama even went as far as saying:
“We must not turn a blind eye to elections that are neither free nor fair – our goal is not simply an ally in Pakistan; it is a democratic ally.”
