What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] Psychology Today as an American news media outlet which had on (or around) November 21st 2010 (i) sardonically noted how “once upon a time, a strange thing happened at the Ionia State Hospital in Michigan: a diagnosis of schizophrenia exited the body of a white housewife, flew across the hospital, and landed on a young Black man from the housing projects of Detroit, burrowing into his body and stubbornly refusing to leave;” (ii) recognized that before the 1950s, “the overwhelming majority of those diagnosed with schizophrenia were white women;” (iii) recognized that the “schizophrenia” diagnosis underwent a “rhetorical transformation from an illness of white feminine docility to one of Black male hostility” as a direct consequence of the civil rights movement of the 1960s; [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri’s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being subjected to frenzy before it was filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) the “schizophrenia” diagnosis has historically been associated with white women prior to the 1960s; (ii) the “schizophrenia” diagnosis is intricately linked with the now discredited “drapetomania” diagnosis; (iii) Blacks and African Americans are five to seven times more likely than white people to be erroneously and wrongfully diagnosed with “schizophrenia” when living in the territory of the U.S.A; (iv) there’s very probably some type of fraud at play whenever an unsolicited white psychologist and/or psychiatrist (whose expertise have not been sought) declares a Black person to be “schizophrenic;” [3] the decision of the Bing/MSN ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W’s written publications on matters related to the history of the “schizophrenia” diagnosis by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as “Understanding Michael A. Ayele’s Habeas Corpus Petition,” “Michael Ayele’s FOIA Requests,” “michael ayele articles,” “michael ayele website,” “michael ayele redistribution agreement;” [4] the decision of the American Psychological Association (APA) to recognize in the month of February 2021 that (i) “racism has been an enduring, insidious, and pervasive feature of the United States (U.S.) landscape;” (ii) “racism is not only limited to racist ideas, attributions, expectations, assumptions, and behaviors held by individuals but also has shaped and undermined almost every aspect of U.S society, including our laws, policies, educational systems, customs, and cultural narratives, weakening our political and civil institutions and creating many political and social fissures...”
