MFP Commentary:
I put this story in the Fordland Clinic category because they are active participants in the Federal demonization of self defense and the criminal act of telling you that you have no right to be armed at their facility. We all know what can happen in a Federal victim disarmament zone don’t we? Almost all of these current mass shootings are in such places. How can a place that says it is about health, go along and create a killing zone for it’s customers? The answer is that AMA monopoly health care, at least on the chronic care side, is not about health, but rather if you look closely it’s all about thinly veiled eugenics IMHO. That is the real reason that the dep state wants your medical care to be only available as a monopoly that they control.
Like the soviets, the Fordland clinic at the direction of their Federal masters seem to be using psychiatry as a weapon, with their seriptious mental health screenings, that they will not even admit to, and will even “fire” a patient that is using their first amendment right to complain about it.
Read about that story here: MEDICAL TYRANNY at the Fordland medical clinic?
(FWIW the Fordland clinic fired me, for complaining in the above article and has prevented me from being able to get sliding scale dental care. Now I on a fixed income am able to afford ZERO dental care due to their criminality.
Now convince me that the Fordland clinic cares one bit about the health of the people that go there when this is how you get treated.

I look much better after I’ve had a cup of coffee. And after I’ve found my axe.
I know that you, gentle reader, have thoughts about guns that are probably pretty similar to mine, so I’d like to take you on a short walk through history, specifically the history of politics and psychiatry. I promise, it will make more sense than the lyrics to the Manfred Mann song Blinded by the Light. What the hell is a go-cart Mozart, and why is he checking out the weather chart, anyway?

The history of psychiatry is tied directly to the political.
I have seen a person suffering from schizophrenia to such a degree that they were sure that MTV® video stars were stealing songs directly from their brain and that they were also a surgeon who regularly performed operations on world leaders and stored their organs in the freezer for safe keeping.
If no one has ever told you that there are human organs belonging to world leaders in their fridge in a completely matter-of-fact “would you like a glass of water” voice, well, all I can tell you is that my first thought was one of complete disbelief that I had heard them right. Yes, I asked for them to repeat that statement. Twice.
I walked over and checked their freezer. Thankfully the only things in it were some frozen pizzas and ancient ice cubes. I assure you I was talking to their shrink that afternoon and they were involuntarily committed by 5PM. They were helped, and after being put on some appropriately industrial levels of anti-psychotic medication, did okay enough to be released back into the wild. As long as they stayed on their meds.
I know that there are actually crazy people that really need help.
But I also know this: psychiatry is still the most politically abused medical profession.
Okay, if Depp isn’t crazy, why does he keep starring in movies like this?
Examples of political abuse of psychiatry? There are many. When I mentioned this topic to The Mrs., she immediately said, “the Soviet Union.” And that’s the example I thought of first, too. The Soviets systematically used diagnosis of psychological disorders such as “philosophical intoxication” and “sluggish schizophrenia” to put people who didn’t like Marxism into mental institutions. And, no, those diagnoses aren’t lame jokes – those were really Soviet-era diagnoses.
How many were caught up in the psychological gulags?
We really don’t know since those records are still secret, but in 1978 at least 4.5 million Soviet citizens were listed as having mental health problems. In 1988, perhaps thinking that they might face their own version of Soviet Nuremburg Trials for Crimes Against Humanity, Soviet leaders had over 800,000 thousand patients removed from the list of the mentally ill. Paperwork error, surely?…. Read More
