“Psychiatric treatment and psychiatric drugs are the common denominator of the growing number of shootings and other acts of violence, which are soaring right along with the soaring prescribing of psych drugs.” Killers on Psych Drugs
Here’s a question that every American should be able to answer: What percentage of the killers—that have carried out mass shootings across the United States—were on powerful psychiatric medications?
- a—1%
- b—25%
- c—50%
- d—75% or more
Why don’t we know the answer to this question? Doesn’t the United States have more mass shootings than any country in the world?
- Yes, it does.
And aren’t these shootings the source of great suffering and anxiety?
- Yes, they are.
And don’t most people genuinely want to know why these lone gunman feel compelled to kill innocent people?
- Yes, they do.
Then, why don’t we know? Why—after more than two decades of these bloody incidents—do we still not have a definitive, thoroughly-researched answer to this one simple question: How many of these mentally-disturbed killers were on dangerous psychiatric medications?
Instead, the media pursues a line of inquiry that fails to reveal anything even remotely conclusive about the gunman’s actions. If “white supremacy” or “Nazi ideology” impacted the killer’s decision to go on a deadly shooting spree in Texas, then why didn’t he target a black community center or a Jewish synagogue? Wouldn’t that have been more consistent with his alleged ideology?
Yes, it would have been, which suggests that his alleged ideology is a symptom of his fragile mental condition not the primary factor driving his behavior. The reason these people go on crazed killing sprees is because they are ‘damaged goods’ not because they are ideologues. There’s a big difference.
So, why does the media keep harping on this silly the idea that the killer’s behavior was effected by his feelings about “white supremacy” or “Nazi ideology”? It’s ridiculous, after all, the killer was not white himself nor were his victims racially targeted. They were merely random passersby strolling through a shopping mall. In other words, there is no evidence to support the case that is being made by the media. But—here’s the thing—the media doesn’t care about evidence because their real goal is to advance a political agenda aimed at linking violent fanatical behavior to race-based uber-nationalism. What they are trying to do, is make a subliminal connection between the erratic behavior of a ruthless killer and the sincerely-felt patriotism of many Trump supporters. The media has been hammering away at this same theme for over six years culminating in the January 6 fraud. This is just the latest iteration of the same tedious political psy-ops.
If the journalists were serious about investigating this latest bloody incident, they’d try to find out whether the killer had been on the FBI’s radar before the onslaught took place. (as so many mass killers have been in the past.) Was he? Was Mauricio Garcia on the list of potential “domestic terrorists” compiled by the FBI?
We’ll probably never know, because that would expose the inner workings of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency which would undoubtedly cause considerable embarassment. So, the FBI is going to circle the wagons and make sure that never happens, which means that a good portion of the truth about this event will probably remain concealed forever. Even worse, we can expect that the media will continue to push their wacky theory that Garcia was a “non-white white supremacist” regardless of the fact that the claim makes no sense at all. Here’s how analyst Michael Tracey sarcastically summed it up:
If a non-white person is a “white supremacist,” does that mean he believes in his own innate racial inferiority? @mtracey
Leave it to Tracey to expose the imbecility of a meme that defies reason but to which the media clings like the Holy Grail. It’s actually shocking that anyone can take this type of verbal hucksterism seriously when, in fact, the whole “non-white white supremacist” thing is one of the most absurd concoctions of all time. It’s pure gibberish.
So, where should we look for answers? Where can we find rational explanations for these sporadic acts of violence?
There’s only one place we can look; at the mental state of the person who committed the crime. That’s where we have to start. If we want to understand what drives a man to kill random people in a school or shopping mall, we need to know something about the psychology of the perpetrator. Fortunately, volumes have been written on this subject by respected professionals who have researched the topic, studied the data, and drawn their own informed conclusions. Take a look:
Close to 17% of Americans are taking psychiatric drugs with side effects such as acting aggressively, being angry, or violent and acting on dangerous impulses...
Psychotropic drugs are hardly helping when their side-effects include worsening depression, new or worsening anxiety, agitation or restlessness, panic attacks, new or worsening irritability, acting aggressively, being angry, or violent, acting on dangerous impulses, an extreme increase in activity and talking (mania), and other unusual changes in behavior or mood.
“Rather than helping the individual, psychotropics alienate, and push them into more and more potentially dangerous behavior,” states the president of the Florida chapter of CCHR, Diane Stein.
This situation was so egregious that in 2004, the Federal Drug Administration issued a “black-box” label warning indicating that the use of certain antidepressants to treat major depressive disorder in adolescents may increase the risk of suicide, homicide, and other acts of violence.
A study entitled Prescription Drugs Associated with Reports of Violence Towards Others… declared … In the 69-month reporting period we identified 484 evaluable drugs that accounted for 780,169 serious adverse event reports of all kinds…. The violence cases included 387 reports of homicide, 404 physical assaults, 27 cases indicating physical abuse, 896 homicidal ideation reports, and 223 cases described as violence-related symptoms.” “Psychiatric Drugs and Side Effects – The Unseen Hand Behind Violence in America“, Citizens Commission on Human Rights
These are the victims of the Texas Mall Shooting
It all sounds very serious, doesn’t it? It sounds like something that policymakers should be aware of so they can tighten regulations on these potentially-lethal medications. It also sounds like something that pharmaceutical industry would try to keep out of the newspapers so people don’t see the connection between these drugs and the mayhem they produce. Simply put, the truth is being hidden for power and profits. What else is new? Here’s more background from another article:
A growing number of school shootings and other shooting rampages were committed by individuals under the influence of, or in withdrawal from, psychiatric drugs known to cause mania, psychosis, violence and even homicide. Consider this list of 13 massacres over the past decade or so, resulting in 54 dead and 105 wounded – and these are just the ones where the psychiatric drugs are known. In other cases, medical records were sealed or autopsy reports not made public or, in some cases, toxicology tests were either not done to test for psychiatric drugs or not disclosed to the public….
Given the growing list of shooters who were on psychiatric drugs, given the fact that 22 international drug regulatory agencies warn these drugs can cause violence, mania, psychosis, suicide and even homicide, and given the fact that a major study was just released confirming these drugs put people at greater risk of becoming violent, CCHR International asserts: “Any recommendation for more mental health ‘treatment,’ which [inevitably] means putting more people and more kids on these [psychiatric] drugs, is not only negligent, but considering the possible repercussions, criminal.” (“The Real Lesson of Columbine: Psychiatric Drugs Induce Violence”
So, why aren’t we addressing the elephant in the room? Is there any doubt that the gunman at the Dallas-area shopping mall was mentally-unstable, probably had some history of counseling and treatment, and may have been on powerful psychiatric drugs? If you were a professional journalist, isn’t that where you would start your investigation rather than trying to cobble together some far-fetched theory based on photos of Nazi memorabilia on an isolated social media post?
We are told repeatedly by the media and the pundits on cable news that ‘guns are the problem’, but isn’t the case against powerful psychiatric meds equally compelling? It’s worth noting, that guns don’t fire themselves and that, typically, guns are not fired into crowds unless they are wielded by unstable, deranged people who—more often than not—have some traceable mental history in which they were diagnosed, counseled and treated. All we want to know is which medications they were prescribed so we can better monitor their use in order to protect the public. Unfortunately, the media is unwilling to provide this information due to a fundamental conflict of interest. They are paid by the drug companies. Here’s more from an article at the American Psychiatric Association:
A link between several types of psychotropic medications and violent behavior toward others has been documented in a recent study…
In a study published in the December 15, 2010… They found that during the study period, 780,169 serious adverse events of one kind or another had been reported for 484 drugs, and that of those serious adverse events, 1,937 had been acts of violence. They defined a violent event as any case report containing one or more of the following items: homicide, physical assault, physical abuse, homicidal ideation, or violence-related symptom….
“In addition, antidepressant drugs showed consistently elevated risk, even when compared with antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. . . .”
Paul Fink, M.D., an expert in the study of violent behavior and a past APA president, commented. “I can tell you that as a psychiatrist who has practiced for a long time, I was unaware that [varenicline and antidepressants] had been linked with violence toward others. . . . Psychiatrists and mental health professionals need to be aware of this association.” The study had no outside funding.” Several Medications Linked to Violent Acts
Keep in mind, normal, well-adjusted men who are happily married and gainfully employed, do not commit random acts of homicidal violence. These are people who have serious psychological problems, who may have sought professional help, and who have (oftentimes) been prescribed various psychiatric medications.
These medications—while beneficial to many—can result in excessive violence in a small percentage of users. The public needs to know about these drugs so they can balance their benefits against the risks to public safety. So far, there has been no admission that these risks even exist. Instead, all the blame has been placed on guns which has merely fueled greater distrust of both the media and the political establisment. In fact, most gun owners now believe that the politicians are not interested in public safety at all but merely use it as platform for promoting their own narrow interests. Ostensibly, those interests now include the repeal the second amendment followed by the disarming of the American people. That’s the goal and most gun owners know that’s the goal. Here’s one last clip from a letter to the editor titled Psychiatric Drugs are Behind the Violence by Doug Dale:
As Congress, surrounded by armed guards, metal detectors, chain link fence and paramilitary forces, debates infringing on the constitutional right to bear arms by private citizens, isn’t it time they actually address the root cause of these mass killings?
These events were unheard of until the FDA began approving more psychiatric drugs several decades ago. From 2004 to 2009, researchers accessing the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System revealed that 1,537 cases of violence were linked to 31 different types of psychiatric drugs.
Other professional studies concluded that patients didn’t have homicidal ideation until after taking these drugs. From 1992 thru 2017, 37 school shootings have been linked to these medications. In a report submitted to the Senate in 2014, it was estimated that 90% of school shooters were using antidepressants. Obviously, it’s not a person’s mental health, but the drugs that cause this violence.
The pharmaceutical lobby contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to congressional members that craft federal laws. Who will deny that these drugs are the root cause of the mass killings? Will it be uneducated political groupies drinking the gun-control elixir, politicians taking campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical lobby, the pharmaceutical industry and/or the doctors peddling this poison to the public, and if so, why?…
In 2001, a drug manufacturer removed a cholesterol drug from the market because it was linked to 31 deaths. We are way past that number in mass killings.
Congress needs to ban gun ownership from anyone being prescribed these drugs, then, at the least, make it a federal crime to write new prescriptions going forward. To do otherwise, one can only conclude that Congress could care less about how much collateral damage they cause.
If we want to stop the mass shootings, we need to strictly regulate the psychiatric medications that are causing them.
MISSING CHILDREN
In W W 2 several acounts mainly by occult authors Dennis Wheatley Louis De whol and Dion Fortune (Violet Firth ) tell the story of how small boys were sacrificed for the British war effort
in similar fashion to Old Testament rituals.
It is on record there was a huge row between Churchill’s Freind and fellow 33rd degree mason
Aleister Crowley and Archbishop Cosmo Lang, on Churchill’s use of Black magicians
the “operation cone of Power” a black magic ritual against Germany
was heavily condemned by some Churchmen.
It was said these rituals kept Hitler away from our shores.
But Hitler never planned to invade England, Britain was the greatest sea power in the world
had Hitler planned an attack on the UK, he would have built up his navy but didnt as he beleived we would keep to the Chamberlian treaty, Chamberlian was poisoned in his own home and
Churchill brought in to call another war.
Ammiral Barry Domvile was head of naval Intel, he said we have almost saturation coverage
of the German war plans, they are a threat to Russia not England,
and he was put in prison for saying so.
Children in W W 2 were sent away from the cities and were known as ” Child Evacuees”
a lot of them never arrived , so where did they go ?
Fred West the serial killer claimed he supplied children from care homes
and these were for ritual purposes.
Latest available police figures for missing children in the UK are for 2018-19
and show 75,918 went missing.
Children identified in snuff videos are said to be imported into the UK for the homosexual
community as ” migrants orphans” and are of various nationalities, experts say most of the film is Israeli.
Fishermen near Epsteins Pleasure Island saw many kids being delivered and very few coming back
Gislane Maxwell refused to speak on this
The USA is experiencing a massive upturn in its numbers of missing children, and
the Girl Halyna Hutchins shot and killed on the studio set by Alec Baldwin was in the process of writing a book about Hollywood and missing kids.

Already this year which is only half way through, israeli forces have murdered 140
palestinian men women and children
The word “terrorism ” is taken from an early latin word which means ” to frighten”
it was used against the romans in 105 BC
Terorism is jewish then and now
https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/05/11/703196/Israel-is–murderer–that-killed-140-Palestinians-since-the-beginning-of-year%C2%A0t
Gun club propaganda ahoy. Most of the killings are children going into their schools to off the bullies that pushed them so far that they want to die to escape. The reason america has so many of them is because the kids can get guns. The same bullying and the same feelings exist in the uk and elsewhere, except that without access to guns, a kid in the uk will kill themself without being able to get revenge first.
If you want to put a stop to it then provide a real and usable way for the kids to escape (not the “talk to a teacher” hooey or the even worse “phone this helpline” hooey). I was bullied and I know that both of these are pointless. What I wanted was a way to change schools, but all I got was “maybe it’s what you do and say that causes it” and “let’s look at what you can do make things better”. Bullies pick on the loners and the weaklings. That’s why they need guns to get revenge. Any fool can pull a trigger.
Trying to make out these kids were on drugs is just more misdirection. These gun freaks want guns because it makes them feel big and strong, yet they’ll never use them against the government, so it’s pointless them having them isn’t it? That was the whole point of allowing it in the first place – so that no government could take the power away from the people. Instead, the people castrated themselves by becoming gutless loners who’ll never fight back and never stand together against anything.
And I don’t believe for a nanosecond that 17% of americans are taking psychiatric drugs. I bet that not even that number are taking any drugs at all. The gun club are so desperate to keep hold of their useless toys that they’ll clutch at any straw to avoid having them taken away. Not that it matters either way, because they’ll never use those guns against the enemy.
Of course what is going on with the MSM is the result of mental illness.
Left Wing ideology IS a mental illness.
I am not making a cheap ‘political’ point.
The whole point is that the MSM reduces EVERYTHING, including War and Homicide, to cheap political points, and that is psychotic, as with the thousands of deaths resulting from its constant BLM style Race-baiting.
The word ‘Politics’ should always be put in inverted commas, because it is itself a type of sickness, an insistence on categorising oneself and others, instead of focusing on practical and minimal administration.
But Leftist ideology takes it all to an extreme degree.
Of course with the ‘White Supremacist’ rap, but I read this account today of a Donald Trump television appearance from the BBC headlines which reflects the psychosis inherent in Leftist Groupthink.
(By the way, I also read the BBC’s Charter of neutrality today.)
‘Trump CNN town hall: ‘Nonsense’ – Republican rivals blast performance’
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65563992
As just one example in this unalloyed propaganda piece , Donald Trump has declared his intention to end the War in the Ukraine, but the necessary neutrality of this position has been deliberately reframed as ‘support of Russia’.
The BBC journalist, who is simply reflecting the position of the BBC Newscorps, would rather see the War continue at the inevitable cost of thousands of lives rather than have the Party they support lose the Election.
THAT is psychotic.
And the story yet again narrows in on the key revelatory ingredient of the Leftist Psychosis – Abortion, the literal killing of babies in the womb.
‘Other Democratic Party officials monitoring the proceedings responded with barely concealed glee, however, promising to use clips of the former president’s performance in future attack ads. They also highlighted his abortion answer – taking credit for ending Roe v Wade’s abortion rights – as particularly damaging.
“That was a disaster for Trump,” a senior Democrat told CBS News. “The American people were just reintroduced to a wildly extreme and dangerous man who said he was honoured to overturn Roe. That’s the clip of the night.” ‘
I would urge Truthseekers NEVER to label themselves ‘Right Wing’ or ‘Conservative’ as that provides the Leftist psychosis the Hegelian Opposition it needs to flourish.
DO apply the term Leftist to the Left (rather than ‘Liberal’, which word they have changed the neaning of) , because a psychosis needs to be identified and labelled in order to oppose it and to attempt to stop its inevitable destruction of lives and property.
These people are existentially Evil – ‘ People of the Lie’ as the psychiatrist M.Scott Peck described them.
Conservatives do not have a clue how to deal with the Left, but Trump gets close because, like Putin, he is more a man of principle than ‘Politics’.
Never in my life have I seen a single personality in and of the West so constantly targeted with False Accusation and Dirty Tricks (blatant Election Theft before example) in a very real and determined effort to eliminate the threat he is seen as representing.
What a load of rubbish! Most of these shootings are psy-ops.
Jews and Satanists want to disarm White America so they can get down to some serious Genocide. They organise mass shootings then blame it on the guns and White People as such. No need for ten pages on this
“Why does the corporate media and Carl Jones consistently cite “White Supremacy” or “Nazi ideology” as a factor for every event that happens on planet earth.
Yep it’s those “wascalry” Nazis destroying everything.
Be wery quiet; I’m hunting for Nazis
Waaaa hahaha!!
DO NO HARM ”
With the massive government people trafficking operations going on
and the infra structure of this country built for one third the number of people
now piling in, things were going to collapse.
The NHS that British paid weekly into all their lives, has been spent on Migrants
who come here for health treatments paid for by us
This has been taken over by stealth by US Big Pharma.
Yes the US multinational drug companies now own your health and you will pay for it a second time all over again, dentists opticians everything in fact will soon need payment but of course migrants will still still get theirs for free.
Dctors used to have a saying “Do No Harm ”
yes now they all queue up to belt you with the jew-jab
everyone must have this and the follow up shots
but of course toerag migrants coming in do not have to.
This is a major government hate crime against its own people
its beyond discrimination and racism, its a total evil.
Author of subheading terms it the ‘corporate media’. Its not the ‘corporate media’ but the Jewish media. That’s why they accuse ‘white supremacy’ or ‘nazism’ as the factor behind these mass shootings, because it advances their anti-white agenda (Whiteocide)– which is their primary program.
Traditionally since the 1917 communist revolution in russia
most violence has been left wing in origin as explained by Mao tes tong
The chinese invasion of tibet was a case in point
Even today Socialism and in fact all anti democrasy elements always use the gun
There is a book called, toxic psychiatry by Peter Breggan which makes a similar case.
Author is wrong. Those drugs help nobody, because there are herbal options with no side effects — Passion Flower is one.
ALSO, he does not, or dares not mention the “Wind-up Toy Factor,” which posits mass shooters as being programmed and set loose to achieve political ends: both psychoactive drugs and so-called psychiatric treatment are necessary for this. The experiments were completed and the techniques perfected decades ago.
Russianvids does a stellar job of outing the Allen Texas shooting hoax: https://153news.net/watch_video.php?v=H4RWWWH712NX
They are all hoaxes. No exceptions. If it really happened ,then, you wouldn’t hear about it as it is essential to the spellcraft that everything that you believe is a lie.
How about secretly bugging the rooms of the shrinks treating these people. I would love to know what the doctors tell them.
Revelation 18:23b AV: “…..for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” The root word in the Greek translated here into “sorcery” is defined by the Strong’s G5331 as pharmakeia; “medication” (pharmacy) by extension “magic” (literal or figurative); sorcery; witchcraft. See also the G5332. The issue that is VERY real but nit discussed is how these poisons calcify the lineal gland. The lineal gland has MANY functions, but I will breakdown one. The lineal gland is responsible for “conscious thought”, but when compromised (as in being calcified), it allows the reptilian brain (the control center for the gotta-have-it-now, or instant gratification felling, or dopamine) override conscious thought. How many “medicated” mass shooters who weren’t shot dead cannot recall what happened? The reptilian brain took over by overriding the higher brain functions. Think of it as akin to demonic possession. Though I do not condone the atrocities committed under sorcerous influence, I understand its effects. Now the REAL meat of this breakdown. Reptilian brain. Reptile. Snakes are reptiles. Satan is a snake, is he not? “That original serpent” the “liar and murderer from the beginning Jesus called it! What better way for Satan to have “his desires” accomplished than by unwitting, unconscious drones, whose minds are blank and ready for “instruction”, leaving Satan plausibly deniable for said effects! After all, as Satan is the original narcissistic abusive spirit (as per Genesis 3:15b), “HE didn’t go crazy and kill people now, did he”? Jesus LIVES!!!!!
Pineal gland it should say. Damned auto spell strikes again!
Thank you Brian at 5:08 pm and everybody above (self excepted) – every single one of those comments had a different angle and all worth reading – including –
‘They are all hoaxes. No exceptions. If it really happened ,then, you wouldn’t hear about it as it is essential to the spellcraft that everything that you believe is a lie”
But I have just caught up with why the Jordan Neeley thing is BBC news headlines when there is no reason for it to be reported by the BBC at all – because obviously if News Headlines were selected on the basis of scale and import, this shouldn’t be a BBC ‘news’ item at all.

And of course, Alex Jones was supposed to have been virtually bankrupted for questioning that, just as Fox is supposed to have been virtually bankrupted by Dominion for questioning THAT –
Yet they are both still up there, doing their thing, and Donald Trump is still questioning THAT –
What any of this means, I don’t know.

False Flag hoaxes — live shooter drills / exercises reported by MSM as real shootings
Odd image for this article. But it is true most of these alleged homicidal shooters are taken-out by law enforcement.
Serbia has had a couple recently. Are they what were reported, I don’t know I haven’t looked into them but I am always automatically suspicious…
As usual “Nico” above gets straight to the point.
This stuff about “white supremacy ” has but one origin….The Jew.
Its that simple.No need for long winded explanations.
Take the Cartoon series “Family Guy”….almost every episode has “jokes” about Christianity…some very insulting too.
WHY?…Virtually all the production team are Jews…..FACT.Including the actress who does the voice of the daughter…..who is infact originallly from Ukraine…..she starred in one of the “TED’ films (the main star being a Marrano Catholic who has done prison time Mark Walhburg)
So as “Nico” suggests….forget all the crap surrounding this stuff….the Jews CREATED this White Supremacy BS…….and they market it almost on a daily basis.
Why dont Christian groups target the production director for ….mass complaints????
One thing is for sure Muslim wouldnt tolerate thus jew stuff….so expect the Ukraine war to spread to Iran which is only a stones throw away.
Britains jewish defence minister has just ordered hugely expensive long range missiles to be given to the Jew Zelenski in Ukraine.
Meantime Britain has serious economic problems and Britons are being neglected by the government in favour of housing illegal immigrants in expensive hotels…..sheer treachery.
Meantime the public is distracted by fake controversies like the squabbles between the two crypto jews fronting “This Morning”. an appalling morning tv programme
