APATHY

http://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/17/2/159

The article "Apathy and Pituitary Disease: It Has Nothing to Do With Depression" describes many of the physical and emotional symptoms that I have experienced over the past 35+ years. Ten years ago, when I lived in the Washington DC area, I was told by a physician who refused me treatment that Cushing's syndrome was the "likely" experiment. In American Guinea Pig: My Struggle for Health and Freedom(my first blog entry) I allude to apathy in my Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and my University of Iowa Writers Workshop experiences. In fact, there are many parallels between the symptoms described in this study and those I have described in my writings: impotence, enlargement of chest, abdominal distension, loss of energy etc. The mind control programs disfigure and discombobulate and very likely many of the victims suffer from hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction.

Do our citizens suffer from pathological apathy? What other diagnosis can explain the longevity of many of the human expeirmentation programs before they are exposed?
I once knew a fellow who wrote a pornographic novel. At his publishing party, he autographed the books " I couldn't have done it without you." Well the government couldn't have done these programs without the American public. For me, the issue of not obtaining the assistance of my fellow citizens is as big an issue as the government's efforts to deny me my health and freedom. I am presently in a very bad situation which I will write about in future posts. It's deja vu all over again.

THE BUCK STOPS WITH THE PEOPLE: STANLEY MILGRAM ON THE KITTY GENOVESE MURDER

At the end of a recent Newsday article, "The Killing of Kitty Genovese", http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-history-hs818a,0,313222,full.story, there is a very good Stanley Milgram quote: "The case touched on a fundamental issue of the human condition, our primordial nightmare,'' Milgram said. "If we need help, will those around us stand around and let us be destroyed or will they come to our aid? Are those other creatures out there to help us sustain our life and values, or are we individual flecks of dust just floating around in a vacuum?''
Imagine what might have been if people throughout the world were more involved with each other and their societies. In the United States, would there have been a miltary medical industrial complex conducting involuntary human experimentation programs? "We have identified hundreds of radiological, chemical and biological tests and experiments in which hundreds of thousands of people were used as test subjects." (Congressional Testimony of Frank C, Conahan of GAO http://archive.gao.gov/t2pbat2/152601.pdf. The knowledge that most citizens would not become involved(Kitty Genovese) or obey orders if they might think of becoming involved(Milgram's Yale obedience experiments) gave a green light to the growth of human and social experimentation programs.
To fully understand how "pathological apathy" affects everyone: Would 2007 United States citizen longevity be tied for 26th at 77.9 years as compared to # 1 Japan at 82.3 years if the American public were as involved with their own health as they are with professional sports? All presidential candidates have health proposals but no candidate considers citizens' life expectancy a winning issue.
If the importance of Stanley Milgram's work were fully understood, I wouldn't be an American Guinea Pig struggling at 62 for my health and freedom. The challenge is: In the Internet age, do we remain "flecks of dust just floating around in a vacuum"?
