ATTACK OF THE INDIGO CHILDREN

Know-it-all brat or weirdo moonchild sent to save the world?

That's the question millions of wacky parents are asking these days. And for many suburban families desperate to find some meaning in the cruel drudgery of life, their moody hyperactive kids are really gifted creatures who will lead humanity to a new evolutionary phase.

These kids are called Indigo Children, allegedly because of the purple aura seen -- by psychics, of course -- floating around their little skulls.

The Indigo brats can see the future, parents say. Their other magic powers are less impressive: They don't listen to anybody, are wildly impatient, throw constant temper tantrums and have apparently learned to manipulate their parents' new-age beliefs to great advantage.

Advocates of the theory claim that 95 percent of kids born today have the purple aura, compared to half as many a generation ago. If true, the world may indeed be facing big changes as these Little Hitlers take over and begin killing off the normal people.

Southern California mom Carolyn Kaufman tells the Orange County Register that her three kids are all Indigos. It's a lucky trifecta for Kaufman, as she believes in every known form of hippie mumbo-jumbo and sells her services to other "Indigo parents."

"You have to be careful about this stuff," child psychologist Dr. Robert Butterworth told the newspaper. "Don't create some cosmic chip on their shoulders. It sounds very cute, but there could be other problems that these kids need help with, like hyperactivity. It's OK if you think your kids have special talents, but don't ... think your kid is the next Dali Lama of Orange County. That's gonna create problems."

But doctors are hardly heroes. The corrupt profession has happily followed the Prescription Drug Industry's lead in creating an epidemic of hyperactive kids -- now diagnosed with the fashionable Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder "disease" that can only be treated with expensive daily doses of prescription amphetamines. As a result, any American child who shows the slightest evidence of independent thinking is immediately put on a deadly diet of Ritalin or similar speed pills.

The smarter kids simply sell the Ritalin to others who enjoy the ultra-clean high of prescription speed, while most of the Ritalin Generation is condemned to a zombie existence, their brains numbed and fried by endless medication, their bodies wilted from anorexia and exhaustion. If they don't commit suicide, they'll grow up to be drug addicts, and then they'll get cancer.

It's no surprise that parents of the "health nut" persuasion have sought another way to deal with hyperactive kids. The few remaining experts not on the Pharmaceutical Industry's payroll say there have always been bratty, know-it-all children and that the ever-shrinking creative spark in humanity is usually smashed in the schooling years.

In that light, says the writer of a new movie about the allegedly special kids, there's no harm in believing in Indigo Children.

"Certainly in the scientific realm, this is just a bunch of New Age nonsense," James Twyman told USA Today. "But I think anyone with an inquisitive and rational mind can look at many children out there today and say there's something about them."

The Skeptic's Dictionary answers with this:

The main thesis of The Indigo Children is that many children diagnosed as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are actually space aliens.

Interesting article snowbird.

Could the Indigo Child be exactly as described?....perhaps.

That said, I beleive that hyperactivity is more a symtom of both lack of discipline, limits...both in the familial and societal setting, the deterioraton of the conventional family unit, along with the pharmaceutical and medical cartel flexing it's pocket book for riatlin et all and therapies of various sorts, not to mention the hormones and chemicals in our food, water supply, environement etc.

Just my two cents....

My thoughts exactly.

When my children were in grade school, my observation was that any child that didn't follow "cookie cutter" behaviour was known as a trouble maker. That included any child that disrupted a class with too many questions or children that were just too bored and did other things or had other ideas - not necessarily mischievous. I can't remember a teacher smart enough to be able to really direct these children out of trouble - they were always trouble-makers. Now that they're grown, a lot of these children are the "go-getters" of the world, willing to blaze new paths. I think that if you see any in-depth interview with the achievers of the world, you will find a lot of the same thing having gone on in their young lives.

So I'm wondering now, if it could be the other way around - as adults we wallow in the ruts of life, rarely recognizing genius and trail-blazers in children.

The education system in this country is struggling to provide even the most basic needs of children, add to that the fact that many parents expect the school system to be the pseudo parents and pick up the ample slack thet they themselves cannot seem to get a grip on....kids today are thrust into a world with little or no skillset to find their place....so when they stray they are sumarily medicated or just kicked to the curb to fend for themselves, or worse....and we wonder why society seems to be going to hell....

Perhaps this is why drugs like rydalyn (spelling?) have been used on Indigo children since the mid to late 1980's.

It's the Shadow Government's and New World Order's attempt (one of many) to kill off the "extraterrestrial influence" on American society.
An influence that would otherwise lead to a society of people capable of figuring out what's really going on in America and the world.

"Knowledge is power."
"Power is the property of the elite few."
"An intelligent population is much more difficult to control."
"You can't make an omelet without breaking Indigo children."

Just the idle thoughts of a worm.
What do I know, anyway.
