Baseless Accusations against John Travolta Demonstrate Cruelty, Intolerance of Pill Pushers and Religion Bashers

The pill pushers of modern medicine are at it again, attacking John Travolta over the tragic death of his son, Jett, claiming (without any evidence, by the way) that Travolta was unwilling to keep his son on seizure medication and, therefore, was responsible for Jett falling and hitting his head, which led to his death.
The truth is that modern medicine’s pill pushers are responsible for at least 98,000 deaths each year of American children, adults and senior citizens, and that’s according to the conservative figures of the Journal of the American Medical Association. More reliable figures put the actual number of Americans killed by modern medicine (and all its pharmaceuticals) at 783,000 people a year (http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/mar…). Yet there’s no outrage about all those people who are killed by medicine. Instead, these pill pushers are focusing on the accidental death of a child belonging to a family of courageous citizens who have had the presence of mind to keep their child off psychiatric medications and focus on nutrition rather than drugs to support their child’s health.
That pushers of conventional medicine would exploit this tragic death of John Travolta’s son to attack both his sensibilities and his religious beliefs is yet another example of the cruelty of modern-day pill pushers. To them, the death of John Travolta’s son is a “win” because in their minds, it “proves him wrong” about his belief system.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
That’s a delusional logic set, of course, because the nature of Jett’s death (an accidental fall) has nothing whatsoever to do with Travolta’s beliefs about protecting his child from psychiatric medications. At the same time, what about all those kids on SSRI drugs that end up committing suicide? The same people accusing Travolta today are never found blaming SSRI drugs for the suicidal actions of teens. To them, drugs are always good, and a lack of drugs is always bad. That’s their religion in a nutshell.
Speaking of religion, I find it disgusting to watch people use this tragic death to level yet more attacks on the Church of Scientology. When Catholic priests rape their choir boys, it’s all just hushed up and allowed to continue, but when a Scientologist suffers a random, tragic accidental death, they’re subjected to relentless attacks that can only be called hate-motivated assaults on religious freedom.
For the record, I am not a Scientologist. I have, however, had the opportunity to personally meet many current and former members of the Church of Scientology, much like I know many members of the Mormon church, many of conservative Christian churches and of course lots of new age spiritual people who aren’t associated with any organized religion at all. The one thing I’ve learned in all this is that those who would attack the members of another religion over their beliefs are violating their own Church, whatever Church that may be. Religious freedom, in the minds of too many people, only applies to YOUR OWN religion, not to other people’s religions. And that’s not religious freedom at all; that’s just zealotry.
I am one of the few people you’ll ever meet who truly, honestly and irrevocably believes in genuine religious freedom. What does that mean? It means that if I held a party at my house, you’d meet people there from all kinds of spiritual beliefs and backgrounds: Christians, Catholics, Scientologists, Mormons, Buddhists, Islamists, New Age Spiritualists and even some Athiests and Hinduists, too. And why is that? Because I know and respect people in each of these religious traditions, and I don’t condemn people for following a religious belief system. The only “religion” I attack is what I call the “Cult of Pharmacology” which doesn’t count as an organized religion in the first place.
I’ve noticed that there are various levels of tolerance among the population for attacking various religions. Attacking Scientology, for example, is considered “okay” by lots of people because Scientology seems strange to them. Attacking the Jewish religion, however, is considered a hate crime, even as Israelis are right now murdering innocent civilians in Gaza with a military assault that targets universities and schools. If you dare say anything against Israel, you’re immediately considered a blasphemous hate crime promoter, and if you live in Germany, they can actually lock you up in prison for even questioning the official version of events like the Holocaust. Just ask David Irving, who actually spent time in prison for questioning the official explanation of the Holocaust (http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&o…).
By the way, I’m not a Holocaust denier, and I don’t support David Irving’s views. But I do support his right to EXPRESS his views without being arrested as a criminal.
Speaking of holocaust deniers, virtually all Americans are “Native American Holocaust Deniers” because the revisionist version of U.S. history taught in schools conveniently leaves out the Holocaust that was committed against the Native Americans by everybody from Christopher Columbus on down the line. So why aren’t all the American people doing time in prison for denying the Holocaust committed against Native Americans? Because the White Man wrote the history books, of course!
My point in all of this is that very few people truly operate on anything even resembling truth, honesty or religious freedom. They simply attack opponents of their own limited views or beliefs, leaving no room for someone else to disagree on important issues like history or religion.
And this is ultimately why we have so much violence in our world: A culture of global intolerance dominates our world today. People cannot tolerate a competing belief system, or the questioning of “official” history, without being censored, arrested or imprisoned. Because freedom of speech is now considered a crime if it contradicts the beliefs of those in power.
These attacks on John Travolta demonstrate the amateurish, hate-filled assaults on religious freedom that permeate western culture. Most people only believe in religious freedom for their own religion. Most people only believe in freedom of speech for their own beliefs. And when it comes down to it, most people ultimately only believe that their OWN kind of people deserve to live in this world at all.
And that’s one of the reasons why the human race remains such an immature, infant race that still hasn’t emerged from its self-centered growth stage. Nations act like children (Israel throws a temper tantrum!), and almost no national leader is able to function like a healthy adult and focus on creating a brighter world for future generations. It’s mostly just conflict, bickering and con games, all engineered by the so-called “leaders” of our world who continue to be the most infantile humans of all.
As Noam Chomsky famously said, “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
I’ve created a short quiz about freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of thought. Take that quiz and see if you *really* believe in freedom, of if you’re just deluding yourself. You’ll find that quiz here:

My sincerest condolences to John Travolta and his family for this terrible loss.
Shame on anyone who attacks him for any reason at this time in his life!

I really enjoyed this article. Written by a wise, and advanced, person.
We are all stuck here together on this teeny weeny speck of a dirt clod floating in the vastness of this physical universe and still, after all this time, and after all of the various “messiahs” who have come along, our civilization is dominated by insanity, criminality, and war.
Tsk tsk.
Actually, the Church of Scientology was insidiously infiltrated and L. Ron Hubbard and his works incrementally discredited and sullied by the same elements who have turned our current society into the cesspool that it has become. Same M.O. Same evil purposes. Same names and faces. Same covert and heartless tactics. That is another study in and of itself… but, just one more example of how far these particular individuals will go to STOP anyone who dares to reveal the truth, or to help his fellow man to achieve enlightenment or personal freedom.
All the more important what Alex and his staff, and all other truthseekers, are doing. Very brave souls, each and every one.
My heartfelt condolences go to the Travolta family for the unexpected loss of a child. They should be given the opportunity to grieve and deal with this in their own way. But, of course, the media will be all over this like the buzzards that they are.
I am sure there is more to the “story” than what we will ever hear from the media… and, it is so predictable that they are going to sensationalize this and distort it into another opportunity to present a false picture to the public.
And, I am sure that there will be the usual pros and cons coming from the peanut gallery in regards to John, his family, pharmaceuticals, Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, religion, etc., etc.
As I said, a VERY good article, written by a VERY wise man. An article such as this should be splattered all over mainstream media.
Alas, I am such a dreamer…

I have epilepsy, and take medication for it. I wouldn’t if I didn’t have to, but I’d have a grand mahl seizure at least once a week (I know, because I’ve tried with disastrous results) if I didn’t, so it’s either medicine or mercifully blowing my own brains out. Believe me, I don’t like being dependant on the pharmaceutal industry.
But to presume, without any evidence, that Travolta didn’t let his son take medicine and then make wild accusations on national television about a family that’s just lost a child is pretty cruel.
This is another case of the mainstream media desperately searching for ANYTHING other than useful information Americans actually NEED to know… They can only say “Israel’s just defending itself” and “the government HAD to do the bailout” so many times…

Mr Mike Adams in this article states that,
“The pill pushers of modern medicine are at it again, attacking John Travolta over the tragic death of his son, Jett, claiming (without any evidence, by the way) that Travolta was unwilling to keep his son on seizure medication and, therefore, was responsible for Jett falling and hitting his head, which led to his death.
Where are the sources Mr Adams for this claim? To what article or news item are we to look for confirmation? You have not quoted any. NONE!
You wrote, “That pushers of conventional medicine WOULD exploit this tragic death of John Travolta’s son to attack both his sensibilities and his religious beliefs is yet another example of the cruelty of modern-day pill pushers”.
A very suspicious use of the hypothetical WOULD. But did they Mr Adams?? Where? When?
This is another example of the type of gutter press and misinformation that should not appear on Prisonplanet but does all too frequently.
I do in fact believe that many modern medicines are bad for us but for truths sakes we should know and spell out the facts and not start inventing stuff just to fill pages, Mr Adams. If you have good sources then spell them out and show us that you are not just inventing this apparent attack on Mr Travolta, Mr Adams
My sincere condolences John and his wife and daughter. John Travolta is a brilliant actor and smart human being in every sense of the word and he deserves better than this piece of garbage journalism, and frankly so do the readers who like me love and support Prisonplanet.

what about satanism? would there be satanists at your party? if not then you don’t really believe in religious freedom do you?

As a parent of a child that had Kawasaki Disease, as did Jett. Kawasaki Disease leaves giant aneurysms on the coronary arteries of the heart. Frequently, kids that are more severely affected die unexpectedly in their teens. My daughter is 7 and is one of the most severe cases in the world that managed to live through the illness but is left with the damage. I know that the odds are high that her heart will fail without warning in the next 10 years even though she appears normal on the outside. All of the idiots that are busy arguing about autism, seizures and Scientology are ignoring the fact that he had Kawasaki Disease. I expect that we will find out that he died of sudden cardiac arrest due to damage done to his heart when he was 2-years-old.
How anyone can make judgments from a sound bite IS a complete moron. Sure Scientology is nuts but they are parents and he was their life. Not taking toxic drugs is not irresponsible since most drugs do more damage than good. There is something to be said about vitamins and minerals, that is what we are made of. Stop eating processed food and eat real fruits, vegetables, fish and lean meat. We are poisoning ourselves with lazy eating. Not that would have prevented the Kawasaki Disease since it’s origins are still unknown and strike children between the ages of 0 to 5 years.

thank you for those who are coming to JT’s defense at this trying time
yes he is human and deserving of nothing but compassion at this time
he has dedicated his life to making people happy and has done nothing to any of us which would deserve being attacked for losing a child!
from a Scientologist, Truther, Ron Paul Supporter, Constitutionalist and known activist for freedom…

Scientologists are right about the pill pushers and psychiatry. Some of the most sick pathological people in history were psychiatrists. Children are drugged in schools for showing leadership qualities. If you are diagnosed by a psychiatrist you have no right to refuse treatment. It is a prison sentence.

No one is welcome, even in the slightest, to come within my 9 square feet ~ spouting their diseased mind’s mysticisms. There is, when all is said & done, NO effortless guidance from the skies above, no matter how much aimlessness, confusion, waxing & waning one may wish to exhibit about his or her axiomatic nature & origin. Objectively identifiable evidence is the only thing worth even a pinch of salt.
My wish for the mysticism-ridden, weak-minded, “foolish faithful”, … before all their honest hopes are self-sacrificed to their needy, subhuman, emo immaturity ~ (or perhaps by others of the same diseased ilk, different book?)
GROW UP!
Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione.

Scientology is a ridiculous cult and a fraud.
Aside from that
It is up to people to be responsible and act in the best interests of their children.
Some seizure medicines work and keep individuals from having brain damage and further brain insult. Theses are different than the ADD or anti-depressants, and not all pills are bad.
to have seizures on a regular basis is traumatic to your brain in the long run and the benefits of medications out weighs the potential side-effects.
Again throwing all pills out with the “bath water” isn’t helpful
January 5th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Wow who wrote this article. A scientologist? Yeah lets take him off meds and have him listen to a tape that will remove alien ghosts from his body.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
sorry to see that there are hateful people on this forum
close to 1000 Scientologists were the first and most effective on the scene to help the firemen, policemen, EMT and other professionals in the days and weeks following 911.
we (yes i was there) organized EVERYTHING amidst the chaos of that scene and helped keep the first responders on their fight and even go down into the pit and helped move out buckets of debris.
those who are here and are simply ignorant may ask where they got their info from because it is most likely from the enemies that we are all fighting… the high level perpetrators via the mainstream media.
January 5th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Re: Scientology is a cult and a fraud” SO IS PSYCHIATRY!!!
January 5th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
The accusations are not based on evidence, this is true. But seriously, if he did have problems with seizures and he was not taking anti-convulsive medication, well, he very likely will have seizures, and he might hit his head and hurt himself, if not die.
I’m an atheist who fully supports freedom of religion, but I also know all religions begin as a cult, as they are invented, usually as a method of mass control. Atheists who go on tirades against religion and promote atheist representation fail to be atheists, because being an atheist is about being strong as an individual and digressing into the herd mentality which religion is based off of.
The accusations against the Travoltas could have waited at least a couple of weeks, the family has suffered a deep loss, they do not need to suffer more.
But if someone has seizures, they might operate in this world a bit better if they take medicine that prevents such horrid experiences. It’s not the same as taking SSRIs for depression/anxiety or taking aderol for ADHD. We’re talking about SEIZURES, nobody wants to experience that.
Ultimately, pharmacology might come across as a secular religion at times, and it was vastly influenced by NAZIs, but Scientology is a joke, period, anyone who defends such fairy tales as being based on reality at all is backwards, sorry.
So neither side is right here, as always.

You Alex Jones works with the Dr. Death[Dr.Rath] and give you big money.This Person is a big fraud and scamming shitter.
January 5th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
I’m deeply saddened by the death of Mr. Travolta’s son. Actually the latest news I read said that the young man died of the seizure itself – not from a hit on the head sustained by this particular seizure.
I have not come across anybody blaming Mr. Travolta for the untimely passing of his son and his family’s desire to avoid big pharma. In the future, it would be best to provide evidence of such allegations because spurious allegations like this cheapen and serve to discredit the important and truthful things that prisonplanet.com has to say. This isn’t the first time this has happened on prisonplanet either. Better research required.
Finally, my deepest condolences to the Travolta family at this difficult time.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Any one who rails against Scientology knows nothing about it. Only what they have been fed by others who know nothing about it and are afraid to look for themselves. Now the Church of Scientology….THAT’S a horse of a different color.
January 6th, 2009 at 11:45 am
They are attacking John because he is part of the truth movement, Scientology or Toltec Recapitulation which is against the truth being known. This is why they(jews) label it evil, the truth can not be allowed to surface.
January 6th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
It is a tragedy about Jett’s passing. His father should have been paying attention to the warning signs that almost always occur before a siezure instead of paying attention to his big ego. But what do you expect from a notorious bi-sexual dick sucker. Most Scientologists are not gay, but all of their mouths are and their beliefs are based on the teachings of a relentless pedophile and queer. If you want to go to hell, that is your business, just leave innocent children out of your deviate fantasies of sodomy and debauchery. L. Ron Hubbard is burning in hell as will all of the fools he takes with him.
