Justice For All Radio Show With Host Attorney George Yates & Guest Jackson Mackenzie

Heads up: "Becoming the Narcissist's Nightmare:..."by Shahida Arabi
is also one of my favorites.
She writes about her experience and is inclusive of all sexual
and gender orientations. She has a kindle audio book, and
hardcopy on Amazon.

My research indicates that the survivors of abusive
relationships are creating the real life knowledge of relationship
with narcissists, psychopaths and other personality disordered
people.

Often therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists may not be
knowledgeable unless they've experienced an abusive relationship
in their lives, and have then gone on to their own healing and
learning about these personality disorders from personal experience
and then the survivor literature.

That being said Hervey Clekey,MD wrote "The Mask of Sanity"now in
its fifth edition back in 1948. And the seminal work that is mentioned
in this interview, "Without Conscience"by Robert Hare, PhD, both
excellent, excellent books.

In seeking therapy for healing from an abusive relationship
with a narcissist, psychopath, you have a right to ensure that
the therapist is knowledgeable regarding these personality disorders.

this is a radio interview hence the commercials...but the interview
is a good one.No I am not conservative.

Jackson MacKenzie therapist was knowledgeable on this type of abuse.

From the Goulet Pens blog, and inspired by Medusa's new thread about fountain pens, paper...
it's all about expressing my thoughts, feelings, desires in writing...
my family loves receiving my letters and I love writing to each of them.

italics mine:

"The Goulet Pen

Simplicity- shutting off the computer and picking up a pen.
So I'm checking out Google Buzz trying to figure out how yet
another application is going to make my life easier. I have a
website, video blog, youtube channel, personal facebook, facebook
fanpage for my business, facebook page for my vlog, twitter
account, tweetdeck AND hootsuite (to manage my many update
channels), and multiple emails, which just increased when I
signed up for gmail to create my Google buzz account.

I'm just thinking how ridiculous it all is that I now am trying
to learn ANOTHER social media program to manage the multiple
programs that I use to manage my multiple social media outlets!!
And people wonder why I like writing with pens!!! They're just so
damn simple, unlike life online. On top of all that, I'm trying to now
figure out the best way to backup my personal and vlog video
footage...looking at a multi-drive RAID NAS, which apparently
DOESN'T work with Time Machine....and my Macbook doesn't
have eSata or Firewire so I need gigabit ethernet, which will
require a switch so I can share both computers since I still have
a PC desktop that I have to use but only for my printer which I
just refilled the black ink cartridge AGAIN, but it's not recognizing
it because Lexmark is the devil and programs their cartridges to
fail unless you pay for them with your firstborn child, and since I
just switched Quickbooks to my Mac and I'm no longer using my
desktop for anything but printing....and even though I'll have to
drop $400, I can't use the NAS for intermittent updates unless
I figure out some other program that will do it besides Time Machine
which will cost more money if it even works, and if I transfer large
amounts of data like video then I'll have to plug in directly to the NAS
to get a faster transfer speed..........
:headsmack: :unsure: :gaah: :hmm1: :bonk: :bawl: :huh: :wacko:

And people wonder why I think pens, paper, and ink are so simple?

Bottom line here people is that there comes a point when you can
overcomplicate simplicity. People ask me all the time how I'm able to
run an entire business selling nothing but pens, ink, and paper, which
is so passe to most people. But in an age where you have devices
like the iPhone with tens of thousands of applications that are all
designed to make life simpler or more convenient, we become
overwhelmed by all of the 'simplicity' being programmed for our
ever increasing number of electronic devices.

But writing is constant. Since cavepeople wrote in the sand with
sticks, the fundamentals of the art of writing has never changed.
You are still holding something in your hand and making squiggly
lines to get a feeling or idea across from yourself to another person.
When I write a letter to someone, I care about who they are, what
their name is, and what their world is all about. In the online world
there's just something lost in the translation that no number of
emoticons can fill. As we become more integrated online and more
detached from the physical world, the art of manuscript and
the physical correspondence of letters will become ever
more meaningful."

The Canary Effect

"The grim legacy of America's treatment of its native peoples is explored in detail in this documentary. Filmmakers Robin Davey and Yellow Thunder Woman take the perspective that if one is to define "genocide" as the a deliberate effort by a government to exterminate a people, then the United States is clearly guilty of the crime given their actions against America's indigenous population over the past 300 years. Davey and Thunder Woman back up their argument with footage detailing the economic marginalization of American Indians, the consistent violation of legal agreements reached with native tribes, the mismanagement and consistent neglect of Indian reservations, the brutalization of Native Americans as they were segregated onto flinty soil and forced to live under substandard conditions, and the refusal of the mass media to report stories of suicide and Columbine-style school shootings among reservation youth. The Canary Effect was screened in competition at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival."

Running on the Sun - Badwater - (with ger subs)

"The film documents the trials and tribulations of these athletes as they run 135 miles through Death Valley in July and explores the motivations behind this seemingly masochistic contest.

A celebration of the perseverance of the human will beyond the limits of the human body."

This race took place in 1999...yes, and has continued.

As a runner, would I run under these conditions?
With a great team...

For now, my sights are on another race...not quite
so dramatic.

For the other runners on this site...enjoy

Stop Fascism: Chris Hedges in Portland Part 1/2 (5-26-17)

This video is from http://kboo.fm community radio. It's the first of two parts with Chris speaking in Portland. In this part, he simply gives a speech. In part two, he answers questions with Joe Sacco.


Capitalism's 'Sacrifice Zones' - Bill Moyers & Chr

This video is 5 years old and continues to be more
than relevant. Greco

(July 20, 2012) There are forgotten corners of this
country where Americans are trapped in endless cycles of
poverty, powerlessness, and despair as a direct result
of capitalistic greed. Journalist Chris Hedges calls these
places "sacrifice zones," and joins Bill this week on
Moyers & Company to explore how areas like
Camden, New Jersey; Immokalee, Florida; and
parts of West Virginia suffer while the corporations
that plundered them thrive.

"These are areas that have been destroyed for
quarterly profit. We're talking about environmentally
destroyed, communities destroyed, human beings
destroyed, families destroyed," Hedges tells Bill.

"It's the willingness on the part of people who seek
personal enrichment to destroy other human beings...
And because the mechanisms of governance can no
longer control them, there is nothing now within the
formal mechanisms of power to stop them from creating
essentially a corporate oligarchic state."

The broadcast includes a visit with comics artist and
journalist Joe Sacco, who collaborated with Hedges on
Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, an
illustrated account of their travels through America's
sacrifice zones. Kirkus Reviews calls it an "unabashedly
polemic, angry manifesto that is certain to open
eyes, intensify outrage and incite argument about
corporate greed."

A columnist for Truthdig, Hedges also describes the
difference between truth and news. "The really great
reporters — and I've seen them in all sorts of news
organizations — are management headaches because
they care about truth at the expense of their own
career," Hedges says."

Thank you for this resource, Greco. I looked up the book and found an entire website devoted to this issue by the same author. It's very helpful for the work I'm doing in my personal life. I especially found this article relevant to my experiences. Thanks again.
