Another great piece of literature from my favourite fellow wordsmith, author and brother in arms. As you know my precious son was a good person, he took the genetic experiment to save his job and mortgage........he lost it all, massive hemorrhagic stroke after two. Dead since 5 February 2022, nearly three years ago now but he was good and now his family have no home, such sacrifice worthy of a good soldier doing his kings bidding.

Micheal we two are called bad people but we are soldiers of what is just and fair and will remain stalwart in our " oppositional defiance disorder " ODD, my children's book should be published this year THE ADVENTURES OF TWO WHIPPETS ON THREE WHEELS, it is my life work, something to leave behind for the future good people. It's taken 3 years so far because my publisher is also one of us bad people and has been viciously attacked and vilified by the WA GOVERNMENT.

thank you soldier for your tenacity and faith, INARDUIS FIDELIS faithful in adversity

Just love the ODD similarity! MY son has ODD plus ADHD and never kneels down to "good " people and he taught me to be the same .God bless my. ODDson for being an example to all. Yes he is well and no he did not take the jab. So proud of him and his siblings because without their strength of character I might have become a "good person " too.

A Generations Shame

Children today who won’t play the game

Are taken to doctors for the chemical cane

What used to be boisterous or making a fuss

Is some sort of syndrome that academics discuss?

Behaviour’s a spectrum from good to bad

Calling it abnormal seems somehow sad

You’re a nightmare kid and we can’t cope

So sit down here and take this dope

Some parents struggle to teach their kids

They go for help, when they’re on the skids

What do we do? The child is ill

Take them home and give them a pill

The experts call it Attention deficit or Hyperactive

Isn’t it time we got some perspective

We lecture our kids about drug abuse

Then give them amphetamines with a lousy excuse

ADD and ADHD are just letters to most

To doctors and scientists they’re butter on toast

To parents and teachers kids seem angry and bad

The more kids diagnosed make drug companies glad

Who first used amphetamines for these conditions?

And did they consider their medical missions?

We think these drugs are a miracle cure

The kids are controlled that is for sure

But what of the cost in ten years time

When the kids are grown and waiting in line

Waiting to get their next prescription

What we are doing defies description

In reality ODD and ADHD are both inventions of big pharma and the medical industrial complex. The DSM.....diagnostic and statistical manual now on its 6th edition is full of syndromes, conditions and illness that has no clinical diagnostic base..

My son was diagnosed with ADHD and I really upset the medical establishment when I resisted that and the cure of Amphetamines, paradoxical medications!

I too am proud of your son for seeing through the cowardice and deceitful lies perpetrated on innocents. Tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of his murder by his own countrymen and government

Thank you

Well written , and I appreciate this inversion of values you've taken here. You have a genius about you, keeps people keen, hooked, interested to read more, and to a broad audience. I think this approach might well get those on the other side to read on, and think twice about the content, and might get into some of their mental and emotional fortresses.

Beautifully written. This piece should go down in history as it truly explains coercion and our beliefs on good and evil... thanks MGG xx

Thank you , so true. And are we still the bad ones and why do all the good ones never mention the sudden deaths that are happening and no apologies at all ?

I hear that the good people at Merck are busy defending their safe and effective product Gardasil against bad people in a California court.

It’s a really good thing that people in the media aren’t covering this trial, because we can’t have that misinformation get out, that maybe the product administered to millions of trusting patients might be harmful. Everyone knows that’s not true…RIGHT?
