I am writing to request your evidence for your statement that 'Norway is a "country with a superb mental health system."'
The Norwegian organisation FAMPO (People’s Action Against Abuse of Power, Police State and Culture of abuse | www.fampo.info) accuse - with much evidence - Norway of being the Last Soviet Republic, where Censorship, Child Protection and Psychiatry are worthy of a Dictatorship.[2]
Its not very difficult to see why they make such statements, when (A) editors -- such as Irene Mjøseng, editor of Bygdeposten -- are fired for publishing articles exposing Norway's Stalinesque psychiatry; (B) radio stations are silenced for exposing Norwegian Stalinesque Psychiatric practices and investigative journalism into Stalinesque Psychiatric practices are silenced by the Norwegian legal system; (C) citizens exposing corruption in the Norwegian Education system are silenced by means of Stalinesque Political Psychiatry such as Arnold Juklerød; and civil servants who expose corruption in the Foreign Affairs Ministry are silenced by means of Stalinesque Political Psychiatry, such as Synnøve Fjellbakk Taftø; to mention but a few.
The Bygdeposten article: "Coercively hospitalised without reason" described a case where a woman from one of Oslo’s suburbs was picked up in her home three times and brought to a mental asylum without any required legal authority written justifications.
In another article "The last Soviet Republic" the editor informed readers that the police at Sunnmøre demanded that Kåre Torvholm and Oddmar Remøy, both with a clean legal record, be subjected to a mental examination.

RE: Request Evidentiary Info for statement in Article: "Violence and mental illness: case of Norway's Breivik reveals our prejudices"[1]
I am writing to request your evidence for your statement that 'Norway is a "country with a superb mental health system."'
The Norwegian organisation FAMPO (People’s Action Against Abuse of Power, Police State and Culture of abuse | www.fampo.info) accuse - with much evidence - Norway of being the Last Soviet Republic, where Censorship, Child Protection and Psychiatry are worthy of a Dictatorship.[2]
Its not very difficult to see why they make such statements, when (A) editors -- such as Irene Mjøseng, editor of Bygdeposten -- are fired for publishing articles exposing Norway's Stalinesque psychiatry; (B) radio stations are silenced for exposing Norwegian Stalinesque Psychiatric practices and investigative journalism into Stalinesque Psychiatric practices are silenced by the Norwegian legal system; (C) citizens exposing corruption in the Norwegian Education system are silenced by means of Stalinesque Political Psychiatry such as Arnold Juklerød; and civil servants who expose corruption in the Foreign Affairs Ministry are silenced by means of Stalinesque Political Psychiatry, such as Synnøve Fjellbakk Taftø; to mention but a few.
The Bygdeposten article: "Coercively hospitalised without reason" described a case where a woman from one of Oslo’s suburbs was picked up in her home three times and brought to a mental asylum without any required legal authority written justifications.
In another article "The last Soviet Republic" the editor informed readers that the police at Sunnmøre demanded that Kåre Torvholm and Oddmar Remøy, both with a clean legal record, be subjected to a mental examination.
Bjørn Martin Aasen, municipal doctor in Herøy and former secretary in one of the departments in Gro Harlem Brundtland’s government, wrote the following to justify the coercive hospitalisation of Torvholm and Remoy:
“He belongs to a civil network with both local, national and international connection, with the purpose to disclose criminal things happening in the public sector, to get things on to a more productive track. In my opinion the requirements in lph 3 are fulfilled” Here ‘lph 3’ is short for the law on mental care.
In Norway exposing the corruption of the Norwegian government is used by Psychiatrists, at the behest of Politicians and the State, as legal justification for alleged psychiatric coercive hospitalization and intimidation!
In the editorial Radio med mening (Meaningful Radio) Mjøseng wrote: “Three local radio stations which have begun spending their time on these issues, immediately lost their licence to broadcast. One of them was the student radio in Tromsø”. With help from the Norwegian legal system, investigative journalism in Bygdeposten was also silenced.
Norway is the European country where the largest number of people are being coercively hospitalised, relative to population numbers. An analysis made by SINTEF in 1996, showed that about 45% of all hospitalisations in Norwegian psychiatry are coercive. In other European countries the same numbers were between 5 to 15 percent. The numbers for Norway were however only an estimate. Because many hospitals do not report coercive hospitalisations, no good statistics are available.
Additionally you make no effort to enquire from any Psychologist critical of Psychiatry's incestuous relationship with Pharmaceutical Corporations, what their opinions are about Norway's "superb [or Stalinesque Political Psychiatry] mental health system."'
Einar Øverenget Dr. Of Philosophy, Academy Of The Humanities -- one of the experts subpoenaed by Anders Breivik -- is one of the few Academic Norwegians with a backbone to expose the incestuous relationship between Psychologists and Psychiatrist in Norway to Pharmaceutical Corporations[3].
He states that there are dozens of psychologists and psychiatrists who are disgusted with the relationship between psychology/psychiatry and Pharmaceutical corporations, but that none of them dare speak out. (No doubt because they are well aware that exposing corruption in Norway is justification for them to be institutionalized by the Stalinesque Political Psychiatric State to intimidate them to silence)
Yet you -- a Canadian Public Health Association "Public Health Hero" and Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health "Champion of Mental Health"[4] -- describe Norway's Stalinesque Political Psychiatry worthy of a Dictatorship as a "country with a superb mental health system."
If you are not a Pharmaceutical Public Relations Propaganda Churnalist[5] Whore[6]; would you kindly provide me with your evidence for your statement that describing Norway's Stalinesque Political Psychiatry worthy of a Dictatorship as a "country with a superb mental health system."
Respectfully,
Lara Johnstone

[5] In "Flat Earth News: An Award-Winning Reporter Exposes Falsehood, Distortion and Propaganda in the Global Media", Nick Davies writes that “journalism without checking is like a body without an immune system”. He “uncovers an industry awash in corruption and bias”, where “commercial forces are the main obstacle to truth-telling journalism”. In Our media have become mass producers of distortion: An industry whose task should be to filter out falsehood has become a conduit for propaganda and second hand news, he writes:
"I commissioned research from specialists at Cardiff University, who surveyed more than 2,000 UK news stories from the four quality dailies (Times, Telegraph, Guardian, Independent) and the Daily Mail. They found two striking things. First, when they tried to trace the origins of their "facts", they discovered that only 12% of the stories were wholly composed of material researched by reporters. With 8% of the stories, they just couldn't be sure. The remaining 80%, they found, were wholly, mainly or partially constructed from second-hand material, provided by news agencies and by the public relations industry. Second, when they looked for evidence that these "facts" had been thoroughly checked, they found this was happening in only 12% of the stories."
"The implication of those two findings is truly alarming. Where once journalists were active gatherers of news, now they have generally become mere passive processors of unchecked, second-hand material, much of it contrived by PR to serve some political or commercial interest. Not journalists, but churnalists. An industry whose primary task is to filter out falsehood has become so vulnerable to manipulation that it is now involved in the mass production of falsehood, distortion and propaganda."
[6] “Psychology's takeover of our legal system represents not an advance into new but clearly charted areas of science but a terrifying retreat into mysticism and romanticism, a massive suspension of disbelief propelled by powerful propaganda. Thanks to the willingness of judges and juries to believe psychobabble with scientific foundations equal to horoscope charts, babble puffed about by psychological professionals with impressive credentials, what we've got now are thousands of self-styled soul doctors run amok in our courts, drunk with power, bedazzled by spectacular fees for the no-heavy-lifting job of shooting off their mouths about any psychological topic that sneaks a toe into a courtroom. The demand is great, the supply is huge, and the science behind it all is nonexistent. But the reality does not matter.” - Margaret Hagen, Ph.D: Whores of the Court: The Fraud of Psychiatric Testimony (whoresofthecourt.com).
