A PROPOSAL
LARGE GROUP AWARENESS TRAINING IN RADICAL THERAPY FOR VICTIMS OF
LEGAL AND GOVERNMENT ABUSE
by David Grossack
More people are beginning to realize that in every respect we
all live on what can best called a "Global Plantation," based on
social systems in which those who control resources and wealth
of the world are perpetrators of large scale legal and
government abuse that serves to perpetuate rule by elites.
Further, what many people do not realize is that aside from the
war, pollution, epidemics, and poverty, the social systems
imposed upon us by the elites produce emotional sickness.
They produce psychological depression, anxiety, substance abuse,
sexual problems, obesity, and many other forms of disturbance
that plague millions of people across the globe.
The mechanisms for this are quite simple. The stress of living
in highly regulated societies, with a predatory legal system
results in a population which reflects the mental conditions of
wounded, exploited, and bullied people. Moreover, we are tracked
and watched through computers, and increasingly the entire
industrialized world is being videotaped and monitored
constantly. This is the beginning of a dehumanization process to
which will alienate us from our individual nature and reduce us
to cogs of production wheels in their factories, offices and
other companies.
The disturbances may come about from being a party in a long,
protracted, and ugly lawsuit. This now afflicts millions of
people in the United States.
The disturbance may come about from a random IRS audit (or
several of them!)
The disturbance may come about through extortion by a
bureaucrat, or false arrest, or "forfeiture of assets", because
a stranger used your property for an allegedly criminal purpose.
Marriages are torn apart by the stress of coping with the abuses
of government and the legal system, relationships with friends,
relatives, children, and the ability to enjoy life can be
twisted inside out.
Our potential to live happy, productive, and fulfilled lives is
being robbed from us every day by a malignant and parasitic
class of lawyers, judges, and government officials who are in
their essence second tier masters on the Global Plantation.
We are the victims.
But too few people realize the victimization becomes a
psychological problem, that is, a problem that affects your mind
and your behavior.
Once they rob us of our peace of mind and dignity, once they
make us sick, we need a healing process.
I believe, as do many mental health professionals, that the most
effective therapy for emotional disturbance caused by government
and legal abuse is radical and militant activism directed
against its sources, wherever that may lead.
What do I mean by "radical activism." I refer to picketing,
demonstrations, sit-ins, organizing public communications, and
in general the kind of conduct that transforms society, produces
changes, and puts the wrongdoers on the defensive.
When you suffer in silence, when you allow the wrongs to stand
without seeking redress and accountability, when you avoid
demanding justice, you have become part of the problem.
You have told yourself that you will set aside reclaiming your
dignity and demanding justice for whatever reason. But you have
essentially betrayed yourself and accepted being a victim. That
cannot possibly be an emotionally healthy decision. It is also
likely to produce serious physiological symptoms over time.
Hours of traditional psychoanalysis will not ever be as
therapeutic as organizing a picket line.
Prescription anti-depressants may help, but they are only
masking the source of the problem.
Some people feel self-conscious about being in public. Others
feel they ought to pray for those that hurt them. These thoughts
are, in effect, self-destructive as they serve to perpetuate the
victimization..
To where do we trace the origins of our problems?
On a daily basis, the face of the Global Plantation deceives.
While a policeman, lawyer, or government functionary may appear
to be oppressive, and can certainly act accordingly, the
Phaoronic pyramidical structure of the "System" leads upwards.
But the string pullers behind events are not always transparent.
The identification and role of power elites in the United States
as well as in al other countries has become a subject of both
academic and popular focus. Because the power elites play such a
significant and arguably destructive role, and have earned the
legitimate wrath of billions of people, the activism we
prescribe need be directed, at least in part, at them.
They are the foundation heads, media moguls, and political power
brokers. They are the controllers of multinational
conglomerates, financiers of major political parties, and
intelligence czars. They are the folks who own and govern the
Global Plantation at the highest levels.
They are formidable adversaries and they will break the law and
perjure and murder and conspire and never be held accountable
except by the people. They , for all practical purposes , own
the courts. The policies of local judges are directed through
large institutional think tanks in Virginia, Washington D.C. and
Santa Barbara, California, not at the grassroots.
To those who shy away from rebellion, I say you are going to
miss the greatest of human endeavors, and your illness will
remain. To those who want to be healed, get a sign, get a pen or
go to your computer or fax machine, and start agitating.
There is a process for launching this on a massive scale that
the legal reform movement needs to consider, right now, today,
to win back our Constitutional freedoms and rights,.
I believe large scale awareness training, such as the techniques
used in the human potential movement, are of immense value.
There is a branch of psychology known as radical therapy which
must be utilized where people resolve the psychological wounds
to them by becoming activists. I am beginning this process to
deal with the retaliation brought to my household for exercising
First Amendment rights. The world cannot wait for business as
usual to solve these problems and we have a mission, a burden to
use evangelical terms. To turn their System upside down. The
tools are there, money will not be a problem, and we will
produce thousands of activists with a heightened consciousness
to take on the Establishment.
I want to do this project. As the son of a radical psychologist
and as a lawyer activist for may years I believe I am qualified.
If we work together, we can change the system and heal ourselves
in the process.
