Faces of Deceit 

This material draws in part on an article of the same title that was published on September 01, 2012.

I saw it the eyes of the senior clinicians at The Arizona State Hospital, namely the two psychiatrist who were my primary care physicians during my thirteen full months of hospitalization there, Dr. Laxman Patel, and Dr. Pervaiz Ahkter, as well ASH's former Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Stephen Dingle (who has since been promoted!!!) and the Hospitals primary legal defender, Arizona Office of the Attorney General, Joel "the mortician" Rudd: 

Clear and undeniable guilt, and blatantly obvious lack of ethical character that I have seen in the eyes and faces of wrongdoers since I was suffering abuse as a preadolescent. A skill, I reckon, learned by those of us who somehow managed to survive the trauma and psychological damage(s) done by people who have no concern whatsoever about the welfare of their own kin. 

That said, I am now willing to remind my readers of this aspect of an article that I wrote and published on September 01, 2012, under the same title as I have used today: Faces of Deceit. I am willing, as such, because the intuitive sense that I have discussed above turned out to be 100% accurate in terms of the biggest sports scandal in today's popular press, and in reading the ongoing exposure of corruption in professional cyclings' heights ranking authoritative officials, I keep finding myself saying:

"This is literally, indescribably, and sickeningly  on point with the shit that the rat bastards at ASH have been pulling off!"

"It's alright, as long as you get away with it." 

    (David Walsh, LA Confidential: The Secrets of Lance Armstrong [2006])

Those exhibiting psychopathic behavior. "At the core of the psychopath is always a profoundly malignant narcissism," says Brian Russell, a clinical psychologist and attorney from Lawrence, Kansas. "They focus on what they need, and feel an entitlement to get what they need at the cost of anything to anyone else." 

SEE THESE FACES? THESE ARE TWO FACES OF DECEIT THAT HAVE BEEN LYING TO THE PUBLIC IN SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENTLY PUBLISHED NEWS STORIES IN THE WORLD OF LATE.  IN MY OPINION, ANY FACE OF CORRUPTION AND UNTRUTH IS A HELL OF LOT MORE CLEAR TO THE OBSERVER THAN IT IS TO THE CRIMINAL'S SELF AWARENESS OF SUCH.     

IN CLOSING: My writing (for the most part) is now in pre-publication mode. Or, more succinctly, my work is now in the pre-editing phase of production (it is all pre-publication to me), and as per my associates in this process (as in, my sexy as hell but maddeningly stubborn agent, and the contact who hooked me up with her- my on again off again editor, "Dancing Bob"), who have directed me to keep a tight lock on anything that I may happen to produce in any fashion whatsoever until they get a look at it. (I'm all like "Even poetry? Damn!", and they're all like "Hell, yes! At least if it has anything to do with that goddamn hospital….") But that's how things are rolling for now, and I am ok with it.  

     In the meantime, please- in your own right- take action today in defense of the well being and care needs of each, every, any, and all of the patients still being subjected to the substandard mental-medical conditions to The Arizona State Hospital. Patient abuse is patently wrong as it is, but when you are talking about the seriously mentally disabled and highly vulnerable individuals hospitalized in Arizona's only long term public mental hospital, it becomes a matter of the most graphically inhumane misbehavior in modern American history. The administrators and senior clinicians at ASH are willfully engaging in ongoing violations of the protections afforded by state and federal law applicable to the patients at ASH, and they are getting away with it lock-stack-and barrel.
