Am I a simpleton or a Crazed Homicidal Maniac?

[Guest guest]

I was writing my next article for the ARI Newsletter when I was

struck by a very amazing if not slightly humorous irony.

I was addressing some of the recent media coverage on so-

called " alternative " therapies for Autism, which of course was all

struck down by the so-called experts. No proof, Anecdotal, probably

weren't really autistic to begin with, and my personal

favorite " charlatans preying on desperate parents " . So as I

pictured their view, I pictured their vision of these poor,

desperate, weak and vulnerable parents, being unwittingly swept up

into experimenting on their own child in their weakness and

desperation. Simpletons, unable to grasp reality and trying to use

their uneducated minds to grasp " real science " , which is apparently

out of their reach or ability.

The suddenly I recalled Offitt talking about these same parents as

wicked, scheming, aggressive, plotting, threatening, frightening to

him and his " friends " at the CDC. I saw this view as aggressive,

confident, individuals who know full well what they are doing.

I had to laugh out loud to myself. So which is it Offit, am I a

clever, conniving, plotting parent, scheming to do you harm along

with your 'friends' as well as your much worshipped vaccine

program? Or, am I a weak, vulnerable, dim-witted simpleton, easily

sucked into unproven treatments, unable to rationalize fact from

fiction and hence no threat to you and your colleagues?

The only answer to this argument must be that they know we are

neither. The parents using the biomedical approach and fighting the

deadly vaccine program are educated, intelligent, self-thinkers,

full of self-confidence, and endowed with a mission, far greater

than our own children. They have to turn our actions into desperate

acts of simpleton parents, and our mission into threatening, out of

control, if not violent and unstable mobs, because they know that we

know the truth.

Lol, good point. The same distortions are historically placed on

EVERY survivor network and activist group pushing for needed change.

Conniving one moment, dumb as a bag of hammers the next, according

to whatever plans to suppress the authorities are concocting at the

moment or as a reflection of what certain corrupt authorities know.

For instance, I'll bet that when internal CDC research comes close

to finding that the vaccine hypotheses have more truth in them than

not, these authorities will imagine the rage of parents if this were

ever disclosed. While under no threat at all they might change their

phone numbers or ask a guard to escort them to the parking

structure. They'll imagine crazed parents hiding behind every tree.

If these authorities are taking their own medicine and end up with

dementia, what do you want to bet that the bulk of their delusions

will be about crazed homicidal mommies.

As someone famous once said (can't remember who) " God forgives our

sins but our nervous system does not " . I'm not sure God will forgive

this, though.
