She came, she cut, she ate -- and now, after gobbling seal heart raw, Governor General Michaelle Jean is tasting the inevitable wave of political indigestion.

Ok, in case you want to read how sick this Mrs is:

Oral-Sadistic Stage

The oral-sadistic phase of infantile libidinal organization is the second part of the oral stage, as described by Karl Abraham; it is also known as the cannibalistic phase. During this period incorporation means the destruction of the object, so the relationship to the object is said to be ambivalent.

It was in a passage added in 1915 to his Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality that Freud introduced the notion of an "oral" organization that he also described as "cannibalistic": "the sexual aim consists in the incorporation of the object—the prototype of a process which, in the form of identification, is later to play such an important psychological part" (1905a, p. 198). The evocation of "cannibalism" served to underscore certain features of the oral object-relationship: the incorporation of the object and its characteristics, identification with it, and, at the same time, greed and destructiveness.

Abraham (1927 [1924]) subdivided the oral stage into two parts: first, an early oral phase dominated by the pleasure of sucking and described as "preambivalent," because the breast is not yet conceived as at once good and bad, both frustrating and gratifying; and secondly, an oral-sadistic or "cannibalistic" stage, occurring later, during the second six months of life, and contemporaneous with teething, which sees the emergence of the wish to bite and to incorporate the object, destroying it in the process. Instinctual ambivalence makes its appearance during this second phase, as incorporation becomes destructive. The oral-sadistic phase is thus characterized by the advent of aggressiveness, by ambivalence, and by the anxiety associated with the destruction of the loved object and the fear of being devoured in turn by that object. Elsewhere, in the context of a discussion of interaction, attention has been drawn to the way in which the child's cannibalistic instincts can revive those of the mother (Golse, 1992).

Freud used the model of cannibalistic devouring and the intrapsychic effects of ambivalence in his study of melancholia (1917e, pp. 249-50). In mourning, he argued, the lost object was assimilated into the ego, incorporated as in the totem meal. Once magically incorporated in this way, it was conflated with the ego, which could either draw strength and power from this (as in identification or the totem meal), or, alternatively, fall victim to attacks from within from this ambivalently cathected object (as in melancholic self-reproach).

Melanie Klein radicalized Abraham's account of a destructiveness linked to orality and to object-love, going so far as to say that libidinal development as a whole is completed only once the innate destructive instincts have been integrated into it. In her view the whole of the oral stage was oral-sadistic in nature, indeed it was the high point of infantile sadism. The libidinal wish to suck and incorporate was combined with the destructive aim of scooping out and emptying the object. In her Envy and Gratitude (1957/1975, pp. 180-81), Klein defined envy of the breast as bound up with oral greed, in which the destructive component instincts predominated: the desire to attack and destroy the object was not tempered by the gratitude generated by good experiences with the mother. This primal wish precipitated the split between the good breast to be retained and the bad breast to be expelled. Klein thus returns via this account of primal oral desire to the idea of a differentiation between ego and non-ego that is secondary to that between good and bad, as organized by the mechanisms of introjection and projection specific to the Freudian model.

I posted this is other note, Iīll give you my opinion as I did there for you to understand the psychology of this woman.

There is NO excuse in how this woman protested. We donīt need in this earth people like her, I donīt care if they eat all the seal or wear their fur, time to stop being so cruel.

If I smoke and all the world is banning cigarrettes, I am not going to put in my mouth the whole pack and light them all just to "complain" with the world and show them how an idiot can smoke 20 cigarrettes at a time!, I go to my house or places I can continue with my adiction and continue my normal life without being an a---

She didnīt made any good point with this. This person should have another work, not a representant of a community. She didnīt make nothing for the ones she defended, she gave a very wrong image, she didnīt act with intelligence, she used the stomach to complain. Very "oral stage" to me. She has an oral fixation and she needs a professional help asap.

(And I donīt joke here) she is sick, read, oral fixation and you will understand what I mean. She is an oral sadistic person and somebody has to tell this woman her problem in order to solve it.

Well done Tere and right on point. The seal industry is no longer a needed industry and hasn't been for a very long time. The people (sub-humans) that work in this industry need to stop complaining and get some job training so they can find other work. We have no need for the pelts, and certainly no need for the meat, so it must stop. This woman who is a representative of the Queen needs to be recalled from her position, as Tere said she needs professional help and she depicts the Queen in a very bad light. It's truly pathetic what some will do for attention. Fortunately her actions have hurt the cause and not helped, as most find this barbaric and cruel.

if you want things to change, you have to haunt the canadian tourism board and boycott all products temporarily.
