Subject: Gulf War Syndrome, Language, and Labels

In the Burlington Free Press on Monday, June 1, 1998, an article appears courtesy of the Associated Press entitled "Net addicts show signs of other trouble." The first paragraph proclaims that net addicts demonstrate "a bumper crop of psychiatric disorders." Nathan Shapira, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, is slated to present findings to the annual meeting of American Psychiatric Association in Toronto based on a study of only 14 individuals. Evidence of manic depression, alcohol or substance abuse, and anxiety disorders were present in seven or more of the 14 subjects studied. All demonstrated levels of addiction to the internet which resulted in the predictable consequences of any other addiction: "broken relationships, job loss and dropping out of school."

"Half had an anxiety disorder such as 'social phobia' which is a persisting and unreasonable fear of being embarrassed in public . . ."

Not a word is mentioned about the effects of behavioral science and research, nor how it can create such symptoms of anxiety using modern techniques of surveillance, observation, and neural linguistics. Such public assessments are contrary to the accepted ideology.

Not a word is mentioned about Gulf War Syndrome, and how quickly the medical establishment labeled the effects of chemical toxicity to "stress." Not a word is mentioned about the tendency to label chemical sensitivity among the general population in the same manner.

Gulf War Syndrome still meets tremendous amounts of denial in spite of House Report 105 - 388, of the 105th Congress; Second Report by the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, which blasts the VA and DOD for their handling of Gulf War Syndrome and their treatment of our veterans who are slowly dyeing due to their exposure to a wide variety of chemicals including pyridostigmine bromide, which was administered in pill form.

From House Report 105 - 388, of the 105th Congress; Second Report by the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight page 4: 17) Institutional and methodological constraints make it unlikely the current research structure will find the causes and effective treatments for Gulf War veterans illnesses in the short term. 18) The FDA was passive in granting and failing to enforce the conditions of a waiver to permit use of PB by DOD.

What is the fundamental difference between these two areas of research?

The internet represents an unregulated forum for mass communication. The ability to discredit views in opposition to accepted standards and policies is completely unfettered, using the standard labels of mental illness.

The use of the PB pill and a new anthrax vaccine was itself, experimental. To question the source of Gulf War syndrome is dangerously close to questioning policies of human experimentation and methods of implementation.

Given that the use of the PB pill and the anthrax vaccine was experimental, it seems unreasonable to presume that the denial, in theater, of chemical exposure, was anything other than deliberate. The effectiveness of the pb pill and the anthrax vaccine could not be determined without such exposures.

In this view, there is only one conclusion: THOSE MEN WERE DELIBERATELY LEFT OUT THERE IN THE SAND, UNDER CHEMICAL ASSAULT - EITHER BY SADDAM HUSSEIN OR BY OUR OWN DOD RESEARCH TEAMS.

Now they are slowly dying.

It has been over seven years since the end of the gulf war, and these human beings still labor under lies in labels. It is not new. The human wreckage and waste grow daily behind a wall of lies. Using the above mentioned tools of surveillance, observation, and neural linguistics, we can create symptoms completely consistent with schizophrenia, to say nothing of problems of anxiety, or "stress."

We engage in a wide variety of human scientific experimentation and behavioral research. We do not question the sociological results. We do not stop in the face of human tragedy. We simply stone wall, and tell more lies, create more labels, and attempt to regulate the free flow of ideas which are contrary to ideological policy.

William Safire laments the use of redundancy in modern English, and parrots Hamlet in apparent condemnation of both a president and the department of justice as follows:

"Hamlet, having denounced 'the proud man's contumely,' went on to complain in what now seems to be an evenhanded way about 'the law's delay,/The insolence of office.' " NYT 5/31/98

Not a word does he speak about Gulf War Syndrome, human experimentation, nor about neural linguistics, the most outrageous misuse of language ever conceived.

Sig Heil, Herr Doktor, Sig Heil.
