OF WILL HUMBLE:. It's Official (yet again): ADHS director Will Humble is deliberately deceiving the public. (originally published in March, 2013)

Wherein for the 12th time in less than 6 months, the director of Arizona Department of Health Services actively censures the public's direct comments to his official ADHS blog, with the very real need of Humble to step up and do the right thing, as per his obligations.  

(2016: Less then 6 months following my February 2012 discharge from The Arizona State Hospital, where for over 13 months I had been rigorously documenting every aspect of patient abuse that I and my patient-peers were subjected to due to the crass indifference and associated corruption of each and every senior ranking medical/administrative member of the Hospital's staff, I came to realize that then ADHS Director Will Humble was 100% involved in suppressing any information or data specific to these issues; issues that by now- 2016- are of common knowledge to anyone interested into the operation of ASH, as it stands. The following article was published with the intent of exposing Humble's grossly negligent failure to do the right thing (when he could have), which occurred at the expense of ASH's disabled and seriously mentally ill patient community, and in abject violation of the public trust. Fact of the matter is, Humble has yet to be held accountable as per the letter of law policy. For the moment, that is.)

--------------------------------

Will Humble's official "Blog" is a sham! 

I am willing to guarantee that Humble and his "team" have censured countless other good faith feedback merely on the basis of it not fitting his ongoing flow of radical misinformation and related Stalinist practices with respect for the principle of free speech and open dialogue. Indeed, Will Humble's way of communicating with the citizens who pay his exorbitant salary is positively Orwellian in nature, and reeks of utter stupidity in this, the age of communication. 

 CORRUPTION.

AS A MATTER OF STANDARD PRACTICE. 

STUPIDITY

AS A MATTER OF, WELL,

STUPIDITY.

AS PER THE DISCUSSION IN THE BELOW ARTICLE, WHICH I PUBLISHED ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2013, WILL HUMBLE IS CONTINUING TO REJECT ALL/ANY  PUBLIC COMMENTARY SPECIFIC TO THE ARTICLE'S HE PUBLISHES IN HIS BLOG WHENEVER THAT COMMENTARY DISAGREES WITH THE CONTENT INCLUDED IN THE BLOG ITSELF. 

WHICH EFFECTIVELY DISQUALIFIES THE DAMN THING AS A BLOG, IN FACT. THE UNDENIABLE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THIS BODY OF INFORMATION IS CLEARY NOTHING MORE THAN A HIGHLY DEBASED TOOL OF PROPAGANDA, AND I CONTEND THAT WE THE CITIZENS OF ARIZONA DESERVE BETTER.  

THIS IS THE TITLE AND DATE OF MY PREVIOUS ARTICLE PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE AS IT STANDS TODAY. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EACH AND EVERY ONE YOU TO VISIT www.azdhs.gov AND POST YOUR OWN COMMENTS ON THIS MAN'S SO CALLED DIRECT ACCESS RESOURCE. IT'S EAST TO FIND, HE HAS THE ICON FOR THE BLOG LOUDLY POSITIONED AT THE TOP OF THE MAIN ADHS SITE.  

Will Humble's Blog Is A Sham. February 17, 2013 PJ Reed. 

It's simple. If anyone publically suggests the possibility of problems with the director of the Arizona Department of Health Services performance, he willfully stifles that information in 
order to maintain his claims that all is well.

Director Humble: 

From those of us here in the public milieu, including but not limited to former ASH patients and their families, current and former ASH staff, and numerous other concerned citizens of Arizona, we demand an honest and forthright response to data that clearly contradicts your various claims in relation to failed policy changes at The Arizona State Hospital. There is irrefutable evidence readily available today illustrating the harmful impacts of this failed policy, and you are aware of this evidence, for it has been publicly featured in the popular press on prime time television and Phoenix area newspapers. Your refusal to engage in open door and civil discourse with the public specific to the identified problems at ASH and in ADHS is a testament to our deepest concerns, namely that you and your employees are engaged in bad faith misconduct which directly puts the seriously mentally ill and disabled patients at ASH at great risk of harm to their emotional, psychological, and physical welfare, as well as putting the greater public at risk in terms of general safety concerns. 

Said bad faith misconduct is in graphic violation of the public trust and you know it. Please do not delete this comment. I am a citizen and I have the fundamental right to be included in this process. Allow the concerns of all interested citizens to be included in this process, and do not continue to ignore citizens (like myself), to whom you have a strict duty in terms of the public trust, as we openly seek to be included in this process.    

Shame on you, Will Humble! Cease and desist now! 

Sincerely, PJ Reed.

AS WITH THE OTHER 12 SUBMISSIONS OF FEEDBACK I HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO WILL HUMBLE'S SO CALLED DIRECT LINE TO THE DIRECTOR, MY LATEST GOOD FAITH CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WAS YET AGAIN REJECTED FOR INCLUSION IN THE PUBLIC RECORD ON  WILL HUMBLE'S OFFICIAL BLOG PAGE, AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS, AS PER THE TERMS OF PARTICIPATION SPECIFIC TO SUCH FEEDBACK, SHOWN BELOW IN FULL.

Thank you for taking the time to read the Terms of Participation. We encourage your participation in the discussion and look forward to an active exchange of ideas."

MY THOUGHTS ON THE ABOVE: THANK ME MY ASS, YOU YELLOW BELLIED SON OF A BITCH! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO EMERGE FROM THE INCREASINGLY MASSIVE CLOUD OF STINK THAT YOUR ONGOING DECEIT HAS ALREADY CAUSED, MR. DIRECTOR??? WILL YOU EVER EMERGE, OR ARE YOU INTENDING TO GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP, AS IT WERE? 

EITHER WAY, IT WON'T BE SOON ENOUGH, FOR EVEN AS I WRITE, THE ABUSE OF PATIENTS AT ARIZONA'S SOLE LONG TERM PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY IS ONGOING, WITH FULL COMPLICITY FROM YOU AND EVERY OTHER STATE EMPLOYEE WITH THE AUTHORITY TO BRING THIS SITUATION TO A POINT OF MEANINGFUL REDRESS AND RESOLUTION.  GET THIS OVER WITH ALREADY...

AND ALLOW THE DUE PROCESS OF GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE BEGIN.

And as for the "77 Comments" that have been posted/granted accessibility for democratic consideration by the public in the entire history of Will "Yea Team!" Humble's blog, I read through each and every one, and virtually all of them have to do with the medical marijuana issue. Nice and safe, and not entirely under Humble's authority, so he is at no risk of further screwing himself (in terms of the extent to which he is doing this to himself with respect for ASH, for example). Likewise, virtually none of the feedback that has been granted such accessibility include anything even remotely criticizing ADHS or Humble's performance. 

This is as undemocratic and scandalous a flow of communication as I have ever encountered, and I have seen some strange shit in my time. 

GIVEN THIS STARK FACT, AND THE SIMPLE KNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY SUBMITTED TWELVE REASONABLY CIVIL AND LAWFUL COMMENTARY POSTS TO HUMBEL'S BLOG, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO CONSIDER WE CAN ONLY WONDER THE ABOUT THE EXTENT OF WHICH HUMBLE AND HIS DROOGS HAVE CENSURED OTHER CITIZEN BASED FEEDBACK IN THIS CONTEXT. 

   

Business as usual at ASH and ADHS. 

AGAIN, I REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE EACH AND EVERY ONE YOU TO VISIT www.azdhs.gov AND POST YOUR OWN COMMENTS ON THIS MAN'S SO CALLED DIRECT ACCESS RESOURCE. HIS "BLOG", THAT IS. IT'S EASY TO FIND, HE HAS THE ICON FOR THE THING LOUDLY POSITIONED AT THE TOP OF THE MAIN ADHS SITE. 

LET'S TAKE ACTION NOW AND GIVE THIS FALSE WITNESS HIS DUE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTABILITY- PAYABLE IMMEDIATELY. 

IN CLOSING: As I have stated in recent weeks, there are developments pertaining the ongoing exposure(s) of corruption specific to the substandard medical/mental health care practices and condition at The Arizona State Hospital in the works. When the time comes, each and every aspect of the history of my advocacy work in the context of seeking meaningful oversight in relation to this matter will be fully revealed in one complete document, including details as sordid as the facts underlying the dissemination of misinformation exhibited by the state of Arizona's highest paid health care official, Arizona Department of Health Services director Will "Yea Team!!!" Humble, as illustrated here. It is all 100% consistent with my overall experiences as a patient at ASH and client of ADHS to this point in time, and as such, right the hell on point with my emerging theses statement. Note: THESES, as in plural. There is so much dirt underlying this scandal that I anticipating releasing nothing short of a monstrous spider web of interconnected malfeasance. 

     AND I AM NO LONGER WORKING VIRTUALLY ALONE IN ITS      

     DEVELOPMENT. WHAT A RELIEF! 

(UPDATE JANUARY 24, 2016: This last detail relates to the fact that I had very recently been contacted by Emmy Award winning reporter David Biscobing of Phoenix's local ABC affiliate, Ch15/KNVX, seeking collaboration with respect for the data thus far published in "PJ Reed The Arizona State  Hospital and Patient Abuse" (through April 2012, and March 2013). As we all know by now, this communication and my immediate willingness to indeed provide Mr. Biscobing with all/any related information about the substandard care practices and over all conditions at ASH that I had (at that time) in my possession greatly accelerated the momentum initiated during that first year of publishing this BLOG. As such, with the status of persons directly associated with the scandal itself in mind- be they the ones fired in spring 2015, or not- it is still only a matter of time before full accountability shall came about. If I have my way, that is. Rest assured: I and the staff of the BLOG will continue to maintain a close watch on the situation for as long as it takes.)
