Further to my previous posts, including my post today and ‘Bran the Broken’. At the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 70s, when I was a kid, I read the Sunday comics of Prince Valiant. In a comic strip that Harold Foster had originally written and illustrated from 1948 to 1951, the…

Bran the Broken
Before Jaime Lannister threw him from a turret, the child Bran Stark had dreamed to be a knight of the royal guard. With his back broken all his dreams came down. Analogously, before my parents dismembered my soul and my sister’s, I dreamt to be a film director. Instead of a life in Hollywood I…
The hammer of the victims
To contextualise this series about psychiatry, see: here. Below, an abridged translation of a chapter of one of the books that I wrote in the last century: This quotation explains perfectly why the so-called mental health professions have so much power in our societies: To commit violent and unjust acts, it is not enough…
Shrinks
While, during this vacation, I review the syntax of the texts I spoke about in my entry yesterday, why not keep an eye on the parallel issue of the so-called mental health professions, either on this site (here) or on my Abridged Online Books (here)? Those who have made the mistake of accepting any sort…
The Italian with an inferiority complex
In view that a couple of visitors have suggested that my anti-psychiatric series on Fridays could be due to the fact that I had a problem with psychiatry, I would like to clarify my personal motivations. When, as a teenager, my mother made war with me at home, it occurred to her that in order…
An example of groupthink
I would like to illustrate what I say in ‘The bondage of groupthink’ with the Mexican case. If there is anything of this country that irritates me exceedingly, it is that even for the pure Creoles—those Iberian whites who have no drop of Amerindian blood in their veins—, the Amerind blood weighs more than the…
Absolute imbecility
I had said in my last post that I would not add new posts this weekend. However, the drama in the neighbouring country of the north for the confirmation of Kavanaugh moves me to say a few words. My life was destroyed (I was shipwrecked for decades) since my father began to believe from my…
Christianity’s Criminal History, 90
Editor’s Note: The following section comes from the second volume of Deschner’s work (pic left). In the previous instances I had been using the third one but the order I have chosen for this site tries to follow, more or less, the order of what I hope will be the first volume in English of…
Day of Wrath, 21
Four years ago I had posted this chapter here but now, that I’ve used engines to check the grammar, I realised the old text was plagued with syntactic inaccuracies. Although I feel it is greatly improved (see below) I can never be sure as English is not my native language. Now that the revision is…
Trust
Today I’ll post a 3,000-word obituary in Spanish in honour of my cousin who died this month. Those who have been soliciting access to my private blog Hojas Eliminadas should know that I only grant access to those who have gained my trust.
