Is Bush Mentally Ill?

Bush does not care about arts and artists. Everybody knows that. I want you international readers readers to share with me serious concerns about the state of mind of George Bush. I think the man is not normal at all. I was surfing the net to learn more about Bush's mental and personality. Because many scholars, serious or not, including artists and astrologers are talking a lot about Bush's mind. I am an undecided voter with a keen interest and respect for astrology. I am at best a novice astrologer, so my question is this: Does Bush's natal chart suggest anything which would support the diagnosis offered by noted Washington psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Frank regarding Bush as related in the following article. If anyone would like more info about the Drs diagnosis before commenting see his book titled, "Bush On The Couch" or try this online audio interview with the Dr at: http://jackblood.net/id18.htm Below is a brief intro to the interview which runs about 30 minutes. Sobering... important info to consider as voters even if one has no comments on the book/article/audio. Inside the Mind of the President By Dr. Justin A. Frank "I don't spend a lot of time trying to figure me out. ... I'm just not into psychobabble."-- George W. Bush : "For all his simplicity and affability, George W. Bush has remained, to paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, "a mystery wrapped in an enigma." In Bush on the Couch, Dr. Justin A. Frank, a well-respected Washington, D.C.–based psychoanalyst and professor of psychiatry, unwraps that mystery, assembling a comprehensive psychological profile of President Bush. Using the principles of applied psychoanalysis -- the discipline of psychoanalyzing public and historical figures pioneered by Freud -- Frank fearlessly builds his case ... and reaches conclusions that are at once highly persuasive and deeply disturbing. Through a close analysis of Bush's public statements and behavior, as well as the historical record provided by journalists, biographers, and those who have known the president well, Frank traces the development of Bush's character from childhood to the present day. Examining closely the role of the president's parents -- especially Barbara Bush, an acknowledged disciplinarian whose own insecurities may have prevented her from adequately nurturing her son -- Frank finds in Bush's childhood the roots of a dramatic psychic split that remains a dominant influence on his adult worldview. Frank argues that this split has inevitably hampered Bush's ability to manage his emotions, charging his psyche with restless anxiety, and conditioning him to view the world in the black-and-white terms that have so evidently shaped his administration.

Among the other subjects Frank explores: Bush's false sense of omnipotence, instilled within him during childhood and emboldened by his deep investment in fundamentalist religion The president's history of untreated alcohol abuse, and the questions it raises about denial, impairment, and the enabling streak in our culture The growing anecdotal evidence that Bush may suffer from dyslexia, ADHD, and other thought disorders. His comfort living outside the law, defying international law in his presidency as boldly as he once defied DUI statutes and military reporting requirements.

 

 

 

His love-hate relationship with his father, and how it triggered a complex and dangerous mix of feelings including yearning, rivalry, anger, and sadism Bush's rigid and simplistic thought patterns, paranoia, and megalomania -- and how they have driven him to invent adversaries so that he can destroy them". Beyond the interview and book itself, some 'real world' observations I have noted regarding Bush's actions which concern me are the following:1-Bush has not only ignored but in fact buried reports regarding the overwhelmingly accepted facts presented by a vast majority of world scientists concerning global warming. Fossil fuels may not be the only cause but they do contribute significantly to the problem which is rapidly reaching critical mass. Denial of this problem seems counter productive at the least and could in fact be devastating. Its very serious stuff to me and ignoring/hiding the facts is an alarming response in my opinion. 2-Ignoring the advice and opinions of a majority of senior Pentagon military officials and noted diplomats on middle eastern policy in regard to the difficulties sure to arise in a post-war Iraq. His current rhetoric stands in sharp contrast to the CIA (and several other intelligence reviews both before and since the war began) most recent bleak assessment of conditions in Iraq, which now mirror the prior warnings of top officials mentioned above. His current statements seem markedly 'unreal'. Delusional? Religious zealot? Divinely inspired? Which is it. 3-A well documented need for extreme control, and secrecy (Pluto/Merc. conj. his natal Asc?) not before seen with any past president including even Nixon. 4-Additionally his unfeeling contempt for death row inmates in Texas. Remember his public mocking and ridicule of a woman facing execution during his tenure as governor? (see below.. omnipotence complex; paranoia; sadism.). My question to serious psychologists and astrologers is this. Are there any astrological indicators which would suggest or support the psychiatric diagnosis presented by Dr. Justin Frank in his book and as related in the following article/audio? Its hard to ignore this highly regarded Drs views (Our courts commonly seek Psychiatric opinion to inform cases). Does astrology support this medical diagnosis and/or provide any other insights beyond or in opposition to this psychiatric view? All input welcome and thank you all. Undecided

Why are such incompetent people being voted into power ?

With just two days to go before the first of three Presidential debates between President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry, Lyndon LaRouche, the former candidate for the 2004 Democratic Party Presidential nomination, issued the following statement through the LaRouche Political Action Committee. The as-yet unspoken, but pivotal issue to be taken up in the upcoming Presidential campaign debates between George W. Bush and John Kerry is the mental illnesses from which President Bush suffers. The most concise and frank, yet compassionate account of George W. Bush's multiple mental disorders can be found in the 2004 book-length study by Bush on the Couch : Inside the Mind of the President - [Link has 54 customer reviews] Dr. Justin Frank, (New York: HarperCollins, 2004). Dr. Frank is a leading psychoanalyst who teaches at George Washington University Medical Center. His professional credentials are impressive, and his in-depth study of the President, based on massive amounts of public documentation—autobiographical and biographical accounts, countless hours of video footage of the President, statements by close associates and relatives, spanning nearly the entirety of George W. Bush's lifetime—presents a compelling case that Mr. Bush is in need of medical assistance. As Dr. Frank summarized the case in his opening chapter, "If one of my patients frequently said one thing and did another, I would want to know why. If I found that he often used words that hid their true meaning and affected a persona that obscured the nature of his actions, I would grow more concerned. If he presented an inflexible worldview characterized by an oversimplified distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, allies and enemies, I would question his ability to grasp reality. And if his actions revealed an unacknowledged—even sadistic—indifference to human suffering, wrapped in pious claims of compassion, I would worry about the safety of the people whose lives he touched. For the past three years, I have observed with increasing alarm the inconsistencies and denials of such an individual.

 

 

But he is not one of my patients. He is our President." In his 219-page clinical diagnosis of the President's mental condition, Dr. Frank concluded that Mr. Bush suffers from a range of serious, albeit curable conditions. These include: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); untreated and uncured alcoholism (what is frequently referred to in lay terms as "dry drunk"); an omnipotence complex; paranoia; an Oedipal Complex; sadism; a mild form of Tourette's Syndrome; and a diminished capacity to distinguish between reality and fantasy. These diagnosed mental disorders cannot be swept under the rug. The future of the United States and the world is going to be determined by the outcome of the Nov. 2, 2004 U.S. Presidential elections. I urge all Americans to read Dr. Frank's alarming findings. I also call on those responsible for the upcoming Presidential debates, including the candidates themselves, to accept the fact that no serious policy dialogue can take place, until this issue has been addressed, squarely and publicly. The American people have the right to know that the incumbent President, seeking re-election, is plagued by a number of debilitating mental disorders that have already impacted, gravely, on American national security, and have severely damaged some of our most important international partnerships. In their wisdom, the Members of the U.S. Congress proposed and ratified the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which established the procedures for the President to be removed from office if it is determined that "he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." In the case of the current President, George W. Bush, we have the advantage of a Presidential election, just weeks away. It would be a grave crime of omission to cover over this admittedly sensitive Constitutional issue, and leave the matter in the hands of a Vice President Dick Cheney, were there to be a Bush-Cheney re-election and a subsequent, inevitable mental breakdown crisis. Response by Sting: Only astrologers and psychologists frankly give a damn that politicians or presidents are mentally "ill," "dry drunks," or psychologically "well." The majority of voting Americans simply don't care. However, like a cold beer on a hot summer day, a report from an renowned psychologist slamming G. W. Bush plays well on an astrology site like this. Former President Ronald Reagan was also accused of being a bumbling president, forgetful, blundering, etc., yet at his state funeral this past year, he was lauded by the media and well-wishers as a genuine American hero. I'm sure psychologists would have a field day, analyzing the minds of former presidents like Reagan, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Teddy Roosevelt and even John F. Kennedy. The larger question ought to be why are such incompetent people being voted into power ? Maybe we, the public, are the mentally stupid ones for voting for these people ? An honest American

 

Artworks by artist Pat Fabysack Koenig

Dear Pat, we are going to take care of that. I have already replied to your personal e-mail address. You are a fabulous artist. The international art critic Dr. Etienne Leroux wrote this about you:" Emotional art and truthful beauty in her artwork. Fabysack-Koening is a world class artist which depicted the true intimate whispers of nature..." We are in the process of publishing his review. Of course, I am taking the liberty of introducing you to our readers. I took this excerpt from your official biography: "Pat resides in the Hudson River Valley, NY. She is featured in "Art in America" Annual Guide; 2003-2004 / 2002-2003. Her work is included in the slide library at R & F Encaustic Paints, Kingston, NY. Athough my artwork has been described as both realistic and abstract, I feel it is most accurately defined as “Metaphorical Landscapes. My compositions distinctly reflect my past years of experience as a Registered Nurse, Psychotherapist and Holistic Health Practitioner. So much of my life has been about structure and organization, and yet my core beliefs support the counter-notion of letting go and intuitive knowing. For me, encaustic wax perfectly suits the metaphor of flow and layering of dimensions, which symbolizes my way of seeing nature, healing and the human experience in an unfolding universe. My deepest desire is to bring peace to the world, one individual and one moment at a time."-Erica
