A Very Effective Defense

(3)

So we went to the 'marriage counselor.' I explained our problem to him in detail. Kootch then gave him her side of the story in the most incomprehensible mish-mash of the English language I have ever heard her articulate. He seemed very interested. Indeed he seemed to agree with her bizarre unintelligible (even to me!) version completely. At the end of the meeting he made no attempt at all to resolve our problem, but only said, 'Gerash would never do something like that.' End of interview. Huh?! He knew Gerash?!

Was that guy's name, 'Clark?' Could well be. I don't remember.

My interpretation is that here was a 'purchased diagnosis' paid for by Gerash. It was a setup from the beginning designed for me to 'acquire a diagnosis' which could later be used by Gerash as a 'fig leaf' (tap). And Gerash himself (according to Gullible Goodman) used the term, 'obsessed.' Did Clark issue me a 'diagnosis' of 'obsessed?' If so, it would be a projection of Gerash's mental illness onto me.

And is a diagnosis sort of like a ticket? Apparently not. When a cop issues you a ticket you either pay up or go to court and fight it or become a fugitive from justice. A diagnosis is not like a ticket. You can't fight it. It sort of just hangs around you. Once you have been 'diagnosed' you can be characterized by others as a person who 'has a history of mental illness.' Mention that 'diagnosis' (tap) to the police and the spotlight immediately shifts away from you and onto your accuser. A 'diagnosis' is a very effective defense (tap) against police investigation.
