You Too Will Need Treatment & Pre-Treatment for Your Mental Illness

The Surgeon General of the Army, Eric B. Schoomaker, MD and the Senate and House Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committees and many, many more throughout government and the military know, full-well, that they are killing service members with psychiatric drug cocktails of no possible therapeutic value, and have been doing so for the past ten years.

Over the past 3 years we have urged them to stop the poisoning (these drugs—antipsychotics mainly--target no actual disease while bearing monstrous ill-effects), but they have remained silent, not even acknowledging the hundreds of unprecedented, sudden, deaths of young soldiers and veterans that we have ‘Googled’ and shown them—allowing the deaths to continue to the present day—their payback to Astra-Zeneca Ltd. and the rest of the almighty, now-in-charge-of-our-lives, world-wide pharmaceutical industry.

Our young men and women serving in the military—and veterans too—have been ceded by our government to Big Pharma—another captive population for labeling and drugging just like the 6 to 7 million schoolchildren called “ADHD,” on “speed” called “”treatment,” and foster children, with nobody watching, given 5 to 10 labels and 10 to 20 drugs (each), and teens in the ‘juvenile justice” system, and prisoners and anyone, today with a so-called ‘mental illness,’ ‘sickness,’ a ‘chemical imbalance’ or ‘shy’. ‘depressed,’ or ‘greiving’ or any of psychiatry’s estimated fifty percent of all of us they say are will one day get a mental illness and sure to need ‘pre-treatment’—their latest ‘gig’.

Stand back! Surely they have a label or labels for you courtesy of the U.S. House, Senate or Judiciary, c/o CPS--child protective services. And you will wear your label. And you will take your pill, or your shot. The newer depotshots make self-control unnecessary for months at a time. No hospitalization needed. You can live on the streets. How about that!

And, how about this (c/o Bob Brewin NextGov.com): “In a May 2010 report of its Pain Management Task Force, the Army endorsed Seroquel in 25- or 50-milligram doses as a 'sleep aid.' Over the past decade, $717 million was spent for Risperdal and $846 million for Seroquel for a mind-blowing total of $1.5 billion when neither Risperdal nor Seroquel have been proven safe or effective for PTSD or sleep disorders. Ironically, yet not surprisingly, pay-to-play in Washington becomes more egregious every day. Heather Bresch, daughter of U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, (D-WV) was recently named CEO of WV drug-maker Mylan Inc., that recently contracted with the DoD for over 20 million doses of Seroquel. Defense Department Health Advisory Group chair, Charles Fogelman, warned: "DoD currently lacks a unified pharmacy database that reflects medication use across pre-deployment, deployment and post-deployment settings." In essence, through a premeditated lack of record keeping, mandated by law at any other pharmacy or medical office to track potential fatal reactions to mixing prescription drugs, the military is willfully preempting all investigations into the injuries and deaths due to psychiatric drugs.”
