"Dr. Biederman is not someone to jerk around"
Dawdy over at Seattle's mental health blog Furious Seasons has been
critical of Harvard child psychiatrist Joseph Biederman pretty much
since he started his site, labeling him the leader of the "Harvard
bipolar kid mafia." But even he didn't know Biederman was strong-
arming pharmaceutical companies for dollars in exchange for moving
"forward the commercial goals of J&J" (Johnson & Johnson being the
makers of Risperdal, which Biederman was touting for use with children
and adolescents). This comes on the heels of NPR yanking the Infinite
Mind show after host Fred Goodwin was revealed to have accepted
pharmaceutical dollars without mentioning his conflict of interest.
More, no doubt, to come.

Harvard Child Psychiatrist Worked Closely With J&J
Gardiner Harris of the New York Times has done it again. In a piece
just out on the paper's website, he details emails and other documents
from an ongoing lawsuit against J&J over the use of its antipsychotic
Risperdal in kids, which offers insight into how Joseph Biederman, a
Harvard child psychiatrist, worked J&J for money. Biederman is of
course the godfather of the whole pediatric bipolar disorder (aka,
child bipolar disorder) business. The details are stunning.
"[E]-mails and internal documents from Johnson & Johnson made public
in a court filing reveal that Dr. Biederman pushed the company to fund
a research center at Massachusetts General Hospital whose goal was 'to
move forward the commercial goals of J&J,' the documents state. The
documents also show that Johnson & Johnson wrote a draft summary of a
study that Dr. Biederman, of Harvard University, was said to author."
Keep in mind that this is the researcher whose science the FDA said it
was leaning upon when it decided that pediatric bipolar disorder was a
valid diagnosis back in July.
"In one November 1999 e-mail, John Bruins, a Johnson & Johnson
marketing executive, begs his supervisors to approve a $3,000 check to
Dr. Biederman in payment for a lecture he gave at the University of
Connecticut.
"'Dr. Biederman is not someone to jerk around,' Mr. Bruins wrote. 'He
is a very proud national figure in child psych and has a very short
fuse.'
"Mr. Bruins wrote that Dr. Biederman was furious after Johnson &
Johnson rejected a request that Dr. Biederman had made to receive a
$280,000 research grant. 'I have never seen someone so angry,' Mr.
Bruins wrote. 'Since that time, our business became non-existant (sic)
within his area of control.'
"Mr. Bruins concluded that, unless Dr. Biederman received a check
soon, 'I am truly afraid of the consequences.'"
Sounds like Biederman is an adult version of the little boys he urges
Americans to medicate.
But wait, there's more:
"A series of documents described the goals behind establishing the
Johnson & Johnson Center for the study of pediatric psychopathology,
for which Dr. Biederman still serves as chief.
"A 2002 annual report for the center stated that its research must
satisfy three criteria: improve psychiatric care for children, have
high standards and 'move forward the commercial goals of J&J,'
according to court documents.
"'We strongly believe that the center’s systematic scientific inquiry
will enhance the clinical and research foundation of child psychiatry
and lead to the safer, more appropriate and more widespread use of
medications in children,' the report stated. 'Without such data, many
clinicians question the wisdom of aggressively treating children with
medications, especially those like neuroleptics [ie, antipsychotics],
which expose children to potentially serious adverse events.'"
More:
"A February 2002 e-mail from Georges Gharabawi, a Johnson & Johnson
executive, stated that Dr. Biederman approached the company 'multiple
times to propose the creation' of the center. 'The rationale of this
center is to generate and disseminate data supporting the use of
risperidone in' children and adolescents, the e-mail stated.
"Johnson & Johnson gave the center $700,000 in 2002 alone, documents
show."
And apparently Biederman was willing to slap his name on a ginned-up
study of Risperdal in kids:
"A June 2002 e-mail from Dr. Gahan Pandina, a Johnson & Johnson
executive, to Dr. Biederman included a brief abstract of a study of
Risperdal in children suffering disruptive behavior disorder. The
study was intended to be presented at the 2002 annual meeting of the
American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, the e-mail stated.
"'We have generated a review abstract, but I must review this longer
abstract before passing this along,' Dr. Pandina wrote. One problem
with the study, Dr. Pandina wrote, is that the children given placebos
and those given Risperdal both improved significantly, 'so, if you
could, please give some thought to how to handle this issue if it
occurs.'
"The draft abstract that Dr. Pandina included in the e-mail, however,
stated that only the children given Risperdal improved, while those
given placebos did not. Dr. Pandina asked Dr. Biederman to sign a form
listing himself as author so the company could present the study to
the conference, according to the e-mail.
"'I will review this morning,' Dr. Biederman responded, according to
the documents. 'I will be happy to sign the forms if you could kindly
send them to me.' The documents do not make clear whether Dr.
Biederman approved the final summary of the brief abstract in similar
form or asked to read the longer report on the study."
Biederman is the gift that keeps on giving. I wonder what apologists
for the bipolar kids paradigm make of these revelations.

These are complex issues; but I read the NYTs article yesterday on
this issue.
It is disgusting.
Why should academics and physicians who make the supreme sacrifice of
devoting their life and and undertake years of study for a hugely
competitive and risky career, for the sake of the good of humanity
forgo a paltry, modest living of less than a $1 million per year.
... Look at how much top lawyers, businessmen, bankers, lobbyists etc
make? Academics who sacrifice their life and career for the benefit
of humanity also deserve to make a comfortable living.
The sense of entitlement and expectation of self worth extends far
beyond the Wall St. bankers.
The overly competitive, fatuous arses are arrogant.

"Just as tuition has been rising more quickly than inflation, state
college presidents' compensation has been growing faster than other
costs of living, and some private university chiefs' annual pay
exceeds $1 million, according to ..."

Obama received far more than that, did it stop your vote hypocrite?
A "Professional", brilliant or not, cannot earn $1 million plus per
year because a "Professional" is defined as a person who takes an Oath
to place their own interests SECOND to the interests of the consumers
of their services.
Only a lying, theiving and/or murdering Gangster with a Duh-greees
who takes no Oath to place their own interests second to consumers can
defraud hard working americans, the overwhelming majority of whom
earn less then $40,000 per annum, of $1 million per annum.

Why should hard working americans fork over a red cent of their hard
earned money to foot the bill for the Special Education,
(accommodations et al) for a bunch of morally bankrupt, lazy, good
for nothing, no account, drugged up, murdered minded bums, so the
morally bankrupt, lazy, good for nothing, no account, murdered
minded bums can use the credentials which hard working americans
already bought and paid for as a false pretext for plundering those
very same hard working americans of cool million every year?

It's hard working americans who sacrified 60% of their income to foot
the bill for everything, which includes the education afforded to the
parasitic dregs of society aka gangsters with Duh-grees a/k/a
academics et al.

Competitive?
The parasitic sociopaths lied, cheated, and/or whored themselves out
to get their grades.
The best and brightest students decide actualizing their own
aspirations is not worth the costs of doing so when the biggest cost
of doing so would be their having to rub elbows with a bunch of
lying, theiving, cheating, lazy, immoral Ho's all their lives.
Academics aren't the product of natural selection, but, the product
of self-selection, ala, bad pennies chasing the good pennies out of
circulation.
'Oversight' is absent. Reasonable 'Self-governance' is not being
established and maintained. This is what is failing. Moreover there is
a preference to submit to oversight as a convenient way of discharging
fiduciary obligation.
"Professionals" are greedy, selfish bastards. They want to embrace the
advantages both sides of the coin simultaneously whilst avoiding any
cost for doing so. They what the advantages that come with being
recognized and respected as being a 'professional' and they also want
to live a good life, seizing all the opportunities and benefits within
their preferred and advantageous grasp.
Surely you must see it?
Bankers aren't satisfied with *only* being bankers any more. ....
Bankers want to make oodles of money by being ordinary business men.
Bankers want to make oodles of money by being consultants, notaries,
negotiators, grievance arbiters, executors and purveyors of accounting
services.
Bankers want to make oodles of money by being brokers of insurance,
stocks, commodities, real estate, collectibles, time shares and
vacation travel.
Bankers want to make oodles of money by supplying and servicing
vending machines and full service boutiques which sell books and
vanilla flavored cappuccino, 24/7.
Bankers want to make oodles of money by gambling on the markets.
Bankers want to be entitled to do it all, have it all, while
simultaneously. individually and variously, abide by, enforce, or
disregard the many adjuncts and constraints that are concomitant with
each specialized activity.
Bankers want to be respected, trusted, obeyed and have the right of
self-governance while being free and exempt of obligations and
restraint which comes from having a superior position.
Bankers, lawyers, physicians, politicians, engineers, scientists,
policemen , teachers, clergy, sportsman, farmers, military, etc,
etc ... It makes no difference. They all want all of the advantages
and none of the limitations, costs, restrictions or responsibilities.
This "having one's cake and eating it too" has become a global
epidemic.
Not to mention ....
"Former Director of Bellevue Pleads Guilty to Taking Bribe
The former executive director of Bellevue Hospital Center pleaded
guilty on Tuesday to accepting bribes from a transcription service
that was seeking to win a contract with the hospital.
By entering the plea in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the former
director, Carlos Perez, avoided prison. Instead, he agreed to forfeit
$25,000 and go on probation for five years after pleading guilty to
third-degree bribe receiving. His formal sentencing is scheduled for
Jan. 14. .."
No way, no how, not now, not ever!
Individuals who aspire to actualize the identity of a "Professional"
vis a vis others can ONLY actualize the identity of a "Professional"
vis a vis others by virtue of words/deeds/actions where in they
demonstrate they are as ADVERTISED, individuals whom others can trust
to be honest in ALL their activities, such as, but, not limited
to, honest wrt the "impartiality of their advice, the fiduciary
nature of their relationship with clients, their adherence to their
profession’s standards of practice, the confidentiality of client
information, their willingness to disclose conflicts of
interest ..." (Dayka 2004)
Individuals who lure others to consume the services/products they are
selling by virture of asserting "Trust Me, I'm a Professional", who
have ZERO intention of proffering impartial advice, and/or ,
honoring the fiduciary nature of the relationships, and/or, adhering
to the profession's standards of practice, and/or, maintaining the
confidentiality of client info, and/or disclosing any and all
conflicts of interest are "Confidence Man" a/k/a "Cons", Swindlers,
Racketeers, Bunco Artists, Scam Artists, Frauds, Crooks, Thugs,
and, where members of entire professional organizations who have
agreed to engage in deceptive practices vis a vis putative consumers
in exchange for bigger paychecks or kickbacks from the government
agencies signing their paychecks and/or the commercial concerns paying
them kickbacks, GANGSTERS with duh-grees.
Surely *you* must see that the only relationship which exists between
an individual LURED into trusting someone who has zero intention of
interacting with them honestly is the relationship between a "Mark"
and a "Confidence Man" , Con, Swindler, Fraud, Bunco Artist, Scam
Artist, Racketeer, Gangster, Crook, Thief by Deception?
Oops!
I forgot!
You aren't willing or able to acknowledge the reality that you are
nothing more then the most recent "Mark" of the Confidence Men,
Swindlers, Frauds, Bunco Artists, Scam Artist, Racketers,
Crooks, Theives by Deception, and/or gangsters with duhgrees who
lure you into consuming whatever shoddy bill of goods they are
selling, by asserting "Trust Me, I'm a professional" whilst having
zero intentions of interacting with you honestly from the outset.
They are good guys, who would have interacted honestly with you if
only you had done this or hadn't done that, right?
Nevermind, that they have NEVER interacted honestly with anyone in
last fifty years, their dishonest interactions with you are ALL your
fault, right?
Wrong!
FYI, Peter and Ginger Breggin announced to the world 16 years ago
that pathocrats within the United Pathocracy of America had hatched a
plot to perpetrate biological warfare against the babies of select
demographic groups within the United Pathocracy of America.
It's self-evident that black american male babies were among the
demographic groups whom the United Pathocracy of American had plottted
to engage in biological warfare against when the United Pathocracy of
America appointed Fred Goodwin the Director of the National Institute
of Mental Health shortly after it was widely reported that Goodwin had
compared American Black Male Baby Boys to hyperaggressive and
hypersexual monkeys in the wild.
As the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Fred
Goodwin was vested with the power to dole out tens of billions of
dollars of US taxpayers moolah to any and all research HO's who were
willing to publish articles providing the false pretext for carrying
out biological warfare against the babies of select demographic groups
of taxpaying americans.
The recipients of the NIMH's welfare grants have been dubbed the
Bipolar Kid Mafia because the recipients decided promote the
diagnosing of babies with classic manic depression as the false
pretext for poisoning the babies of select demographic groups with
toxins which would down regulate the babies dopamine receptors,
deprive the babies of the capactity to experience pleasure, thereby
decreasing their libido, thereby, decreasing the reproductive
capacity of the demographic group whom the babies were members of,
when and if the toxins didn't kill the babies outright.
Any and all pharmaceutical companies who was of a mind to further
their commercial goals by manufacturing the poisons which the
pathocracy had decided to use to engage in biological warfare to
poison black american male babies, catholic american baby girls,
foster care babies of both genders etc, had no choice but to approach
the same research ho's whom the NIMH was doling out billions to
publish articles promoting the poisoning of such babies under false
pretexts if they wanted their poisonous potions, rather then their
competitors poisonous potions to receive FDA approval for executing
the biological warfare against the babies of select demographic
groups.
Once the false pretext had been created for poisoning millions of
american babies, and, once the FDA had approved a class of toxins
which could be utilzied to poison millions of american babies, all
that was required to execute the plan to poison millions of american
babies as to DIFFUSE disinformation to promote the poisoning of
american babies to all the individuals vested with prescription pad
power, and, plaster stories in magazines which american parents were
most likely to read, such as Parade, Readers Digest, Dear Abby,
and/or plaster the disinformation all over the WWW to condition
american parents to consider the possibility that their terrible two
was a manic depressive so when parents or caretakers of the babies in
the targeted demographic groups brought their babies to those vested
with the power of the prescription pad, who duped them into
collaborating in the poisoning of their baby, whereupon the state
charged the parents for the murder of the baby, rather then the
physician who prescribed to toxin, or the pharmaceutical company who
manufactured the toxin, or, the pathocrats who hatched the plan to
engage in biological warfare to poison and/or murder millions of
american babies of select demographic groups.
I suspect that a hell of a lot of black, catholic american, and
foster moms read the details of the arrest of Rebecca Riley's mother
and said to themselves, there, save the grace of God go I, since i
suspect there aren't a heck of a lot of black, catholic american or
foster mothers who haven't been targeted by the Bipolar Kid Mafia at
some point in the last sixteen years.
Of course, you don't know they are members of the Bipolar Kid Mafia
until they begin exacting retribution against you because you rejected
their UNWANTED and UNSOLICTED advice to drug yourself and your child
(ren) with poisons which will down regulate your and your children's
dopamine receptors, which will deprive you and your children of the
ability to experience pleasure, which will decrease your and your
children's libido, which will decrease the reproductive capacity of
the demographic group you belong to.
Most especially if you encounter members of the bipolar kid mafia who
are misusing a venue chartered to support people who are seeking info
about relieving tics to promote the dxing of babies with disorders
which will occaision their being drugged with toxins whose most
immediate effect will be to INDUCE tics, not relieve them.
I know it's before you time, but, those members of the bipolar kid
cybermafia INFLAMED me into become an active participant of AST and
ASAD by their responses to an inquiry posted to ASD-med, which my own
lack of knowledge about had incited me to xpost to AST and ASAD, by
the members of the bipolar kid cybermafia on AST and ASAD promoting a
course of action which I knew would have exacerabated the symptomology
of the child whose mother was seeking info to ameilorate, not
exacerbate.
What if you were the one whose child had a tic and the bipolar kid
mafia and/or cybermafia exacted retribution against you because you
refused to consent to having your kid permanently drugged up on toxins
whose most immediate effect was to exacerabate the tic(s) which you
and your kid were effecting to figure out how to ameliorate?
Would you honestly continue to view them as if they were professionals
who allow their greed to get the best of them, OR, might you begin to
view Leslie E. Packer, TSNW, Nancy Knisley and , Karen Resnick for
the out and out VILLAINS they truly are, not merely because of the
multiplicity of crimes they perpetrated against you to exact
retribution against you for rejecting the unwanted and unsolicite
advice of the Bipolar Kid Cybermafia, but, because they are members
of a gang ergo GANGSTERS whose agenda is to engage in all manner of
deception to promote the poisoning, maiming, and second degree murder
of babies of select demographic groups of Americans and Canadians?
Farmers???
What the HECK do the "farmers" you know harvest?
Body parts?
Who is it that you are trying to convince that being a GANGSTER is the
only way to fly?
Because, you are never going to persuade someone who has spent the
last few years of their life interacting with thousands of the 3.5
million americans whom were DISPLACED and forced to live off the land
on the $1 to $2 per hour they earn toiling away 16 or 18 hours a day,
seven days a week, 365 days a year, because they chose to reject the
ideology that being a gangster is the only way to fly.

Liar, no one in America works for such low wages, not even illegals.
Therefore the rest of you story must be false. No disadvantaged person
works for 16 to 18 hours a day, especially you.
Liar.
How would she know about these people, if they're not in the news? You
think the tinfoil's come loose again? It's about time for the annual
meltdown.
Yes, her posts are already showing the breakdown, spelling, grammar,
punctuation, etc.
I'm wondering if it may be due to increased use of alcohol during the
end seasons, combined with her meds.
