The New Gulag: Mental Health Detentions and the Criminalization of Dissent
John & Nisha Whitehead
“There are no dangerous thoughts; thinking itself is a dangerous activity.”
Hannah Arendt
The government’s war on homelessness—much like its war on terrorism, its war on drugs, its war on illegal immigration, and its war on COVID-19—is yet another Trojan Horse.
First, President Trump issues an executive order empowering federal agencies to clear out homeless encampments and lock up the homeless in mental institutions using involuntary civil commitment laws intended for dealing with individuals experiencing mental health crises.
Days later, a gunman allegedly suffering from a mental illness opens fire in New York City, killing four before turning the gun on himself.
Coming on the heels of Trump’s executive order aimed at “ending crime and disorder on America’s streets,” the shooting has all the makings of a modern-day Reichstag fire: a tragedy weaponized to justify allowing the government use mental illness as a pretext for locking more people up without due process.
An Orwellian exercise in doublespeak, Trump’s executive order suggests that jailing the homeless, rather than providing them with affordable housing, is the “compassionate” solution to homelessness.
According to USA Today, social workers, medical experts and mental health service providers say the president’s approach “will likely worsen homelessness across the country, particularly because Trump’s order contains no new funding for mental health or drug treatment. Additionally, they say the president appears to misunderstand the fundamental driver of homelessness: People can’t afford housing.”
And then comes the kicker: Trump wants to see more use of civil commitments (forced detentions) for anyone who is perceived as posing a risk “to themselves or the public or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves in appropriate facilities for appropriate periods of time.”
Translation: the government wants to use homelessness as a pretext for indefinitely locking up anyone who might pose a threat to its chokehold on police state power.
When you consider the ramifications of giving the American police state that kind of authority to preemptively neutralize a potential threat, you’ll understand why some might view these looming mental health round-ups with trepidation.
By directing police to carry out forced detentions of individuals based not on criminal behavior but on perceived mental instability or drug use, the Trump administration is attempting to sidestep fundamental constitutional protections—due process, probable cause, and the presumption of innocence—by substituting medical discretion for legal standards.
Taken to its authoritarian limits, this could allow the government to weaponize the label of mental illness as a means of exiling dissidents who refuse to march in lockstep with its dictates.
Police in cities like New York have already been empowered to forcibly detain individuals for psychiatric evaluations, based on vague, subjective criteria: having “firmly held beliefs not congruent with cultural ideas,” exhibiting “excessive fears,” or refusing “voluntary treatment.”
What happens when these criteria are expanded to encompass anyone who challenges the police state’s narrative?
Once the government is allowed to control the narrative over who is deemed mentally unfit, mental health care could become yet another pretext for pathologizing dissent in order to disarm and silence the government’s critics.
Take heed: this has the potential to become the next phase of the government’s war on thought crimes, cloaked in the guise of public health and safety.
According to the Associated Press, federal agencies have been exploring how to incorporate “identifiable patient data” into their surveillance toolkits, including behavioral health records.
The infrastructure is already in place to profile and detain individuals based on perceived psychological “risks.”
The government is actively exploring how to use data from wearable health devices—including heart rate, stress response, and sleep patterns—to flag individuals for intervention. Now imagine a future in which your Fitbit or Apple Watch triggers a mental health alert, resulting in your forced removal “for your own safety.”
Mass surveillance combined with artificial intelligence-powered programs that can track people by their biometrics and behavior, mental health sensor data (tracked by wearable data and monitored by government agencies such as HARPA), threat assessments, behavioral sensing warnings, precrime initiatives, red flag gun laws, mental health first-aid programs aimed at training gatekeepers to identify who might pose a threat to public safety, and government access to behavioral health records could pave the way for a regime of police state authoritarianism by way of preemptive mental health detentions.
If the police state is equipping itself to monitor, flag, and detain anyone it deems mentally unfit, without criminal charges or trial, this could be the tipping point in the government’s efforts to penalize those engaging in so-called “thought crimes.”
This is not about public safety. It’s about control.
We’ve seen this tactic before. When governments seek to suppress dissent without provoking outrage, they turn to psychiatric labels.
Throughout history, from Cold War-era Soviet gulags to modern pre-crime initiatives, authoritarian regimes have used psychiatric labels to isolate, discredit, and eliminate dissidents. As historian Anne Applebaum notes, administrative exile, which required no trial and due process, “was an ideal punishment not only for troublemakers as such, but also for political opponents of the regime.”
The word “gulag” refers to a labor or concentration camp where prisoners (oftentimes political prisoners or so-called “enemies of the state,” real or imagined) were imprisoned as punishment for their crimes against the state. Soviet dissidents were often declared mentally ill, institutionalized in prisons disguised as psychiatric hospitals, and subjected to forced medication and psychological torture.
Totalitarian regimes used such tactics to isolate political dissidents from the rest of society, discredit their ideas, and break them physically and mentally.
In addition to declaring political dissidents mentally unsound, government officials in the Cold War-era Soviet Union also made use of an administrative process for dealing with individuals who were considered a bad influence on others or troublemakers. Author George Kennan describes a process in which:
The obnoxious person may not be guilty of any crime . . . but if, in the opinion of the local authorities, his presence in a particular place is “prejudicial to public order” or “incompatible with public tranquility,” he may be arrested without warrant, may be held from two weeks to two years in prison, and may then be removed by force to any other place within the limits of the empire and there be put under police surveillance for a period of from one to ten years.
Warrantless seizures, surveillance, indefinite detention, isolation, exile…sound familiar?
What’s unfolding in America is the modern police state’s version of that same script.
Civil commitment laws are found in all states and employed throughout American history.
Under the doctrines of parens patriae and police power, the government already claims authority to confine those deemed unable to act in their own best interest or who pose a threat to society.
When fused, these doctrines give the state enormous discretion to preemptively lock people up based on speculative future threats, not actual crimes.
This discretion is now expanding at warp speed.
The result is a Nanny State mindset carried out with the militant force of the Police State.
Once dissent is equated with danger—and danger with illness—those who challenge the state become medicalized threats, subject to detention not for what they’ve done, but for what they believe.
We’ve already seen what happens when dissent is pathologized and criminalized, and civil commitment laws are weaponized:
- Russ Tice, an NSA whistleblower, was labeled “mentally unbalanced” after attempting to testify in Congress about the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping program.
- Adrian Schoolcraft, an NYPD officer who exposed police corruption, was forcibly committed to a mental facility in retaliation.
- Brandon Raub, a Marine who posted controversial political views on Facebook, was arrested and detained in a psychiatric ward under Virginia’s mental health laws.
These cases aren’t anomalies—they’re warning signs.
Government programs like Operation Vigilant Eagle, launched in 2009, characterized military veterans as potential domestic terrorists if they showed signs of being “disgruntled or disillusioned.” A 2009 DHS report broadly defined “rightwing extremists” as anyone seen as antigovernment.
The result? A surveillance dragnet aimed at military veterans, political dissidents, gun owners, and constitutionalists.
Now, under the banner of mental health, the same dragnet is being equipped with red flag gun laws, predictive policing, and involuntary detention authority.
In theory, these laws are meant to prevent harm. In practice, they punish thought, not conduct.
Trump’s latest executive order doesn’t just target the homeless—it establishes a precedent for rounding up anyone deemed a threat to the government’s version of law and order.
The same playbook that pathologized opposition to war or police brutality as “Oppositional Defiant Disorder” could now be used to classify political dissent as a psychiatric illness.
This is not hyperbole.
The government’s ability to silence dissent by labeling it as dangerous or diseased is well documented—and now it’s about to be codified into law.
Red flag gun laws, for example, authorize government officials to seize guns from individuals viewed as a danger to themselves or others. The stated intention is to disarm individuals who are potential threats. No mental health diagnosis is required. No criminal charge. Just a hunch. Those most likely to be targeted? The people already on government watch lists: political activists, veterans, gun owners, and anyone labeled an “extremists”— a term that now applies to anyone critical of the government.
While the intention may appear reasonable—disarming people who pose an “immediate danger” to themselves or others—the problem arises when you put the power to determine who is a potential danger in the hands of a police state that equates dissent with extremism.
This is the same police state that uses the words “anti-government,” “extremist” and “terrorist” interchangeably.
The same police state whose agents are weaving a web of threat assessments, behavioral sensing warnings, flagged “words,” and “suspicious” activity reports using AI, social media surveillance, behavior sensing software, and citizen snitches to identify potential threats.
The same police state that renews the NDAA year after year—authorizing the indefinite military detention of U.S. citizens.
The same police state that considers you suspicious based on your religion, your bumper stickers, or your political beliefs.
As a New York Times editorial warns, you may be labeled an anti-government extremist (a.k.a. domestic terrorist) if you are afraid that the government is plotting to confiscate your firearms, believe the economy is about to collapse, fear the government will soon declare martial law, or display too many political and/or ideological bumper stickers on your car.
This is the same police state that now wants access to your mental health data, your digital footprint, your biometric records—and the legal authority to detain you for your own good.
And it’s the same police state that, facing rising protests, unrest, and collapsing public trust, is seeking new ways to suppress dissent—not through open force, but under the cover of public health.
This is where thought crimes become real crimes.
We’ve seen this trajectory before.
The war on drugs.
The war on terror.
The war on COVID.
Each began with real concerns. Each ended as a tool of compliance, coercion, and control.
Now, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, we are entering a new war: the war on anti-government dissidents.
We are fast approaching a future where you can be locked up for the thoughts you think, the beliefs you hold, or the questions you ask.
The government will use any excuse to suppress dissent and control the narrative.
It will start with the homeless.
Then the mentally ill.
Then the so-called extremists.
Then the critics, the contrarians, and the constitutionalists.
Eventually, it will come for anyone who dares to get in the government’s way.
This is how tyranny rises. This is how freedom falls.
Unless we resist this creeping mental health gulag, the prison gates will eventually close on us all.

Regarding the NDAA mentioned above, in 2013 it quietly obliterated the 4th Amendment. I paraphrase it as: allowing the military to detain a US citizen indefinitely and without charge or trial for suspicion of ties to terrorism. Let that sink in. My point is that this was done under a Democrat, Obama. This should be a wake up to anyone who stills thinks that there is any real difference between the two parties. It is all theater..
Does this apply to the UNvaccinated?
Yes.

The evil buck will always stop with Trump, according to the Whiteheads. They never target his Zionist controllers, not even when Trump’s slavish obedience to their policy of genocide and imperial conquest in the Middle East has exposed them to the whole world like never before. In fact, Trump’s greatest service to the world may be that exposure (intended?), but the Whiteheads remain oddly blind to it.
It costs thousands per week to keep people in prison and in mental instantiations or care homes.
If you were to give the people you are putting into these institutions a fraction of the money they would not be poor. But all these institutions are privately owned or if state owned have highly paid managers . So it is just another wealth transfer from the poor to the rich as is always the case. There is also a lot of medicine and health care required more profit. A lot are claiming benefits . All the jobs have been outsourced overseas and the training centres closed down . But you are supposed to stay in school as long as you can then go to college and then to university. But if you can not .A lot of the poor have jobs but don’t earn enough to afford a home. The jobs are poorly paid , part time , zero hour contracts.
Not surprisingly people get depressed. Then there is drug , alcohol pushing then you get a criminal record and the downward spiral makes you ripe for the state to decide to look after you by passing you onto there lobby friends who will get lots of government money (your tax debt) to look after you and even get you working for free.
Deinstitutionalization of state hospitals for mentally ill patients began in the US after WW2, legislated nationally with the 1963 Community Mental Health Act under the Kennedy administration. Much of the impetus had to do with propaganda and damage control, as these facilities were tied to medical practices of eugenics discredited by Nazism’s adoption. In turn, the new cold war enemy of the USSR could be condemned for psychiatric imprisonment of political dissidents, routinely exaggerated in proportion to the Soviet gulag’s chief population of ordinary criminals (Solzhenitsyn served as a notable mouthpiece).
There were also financial incentives, as usual, for pharmafia medicine to deploy a new generation of ‘antipsychotic’ drugs (neuroleptics) claiming a more humane alternative, when in fact they were the chemical equivalent of lobotomies serving as restraints without prison bars. Most of the promised community care facilties never materialized, underfunded for failure, to the profit of expanded powers of psychiatric intervention which established an even greater ‘invisible asylum’ among scattered sites from general hospitals and nursing homes to the streets and jails. The actual if unofficial number of psychiatric beds per capita significantly increased under this system.
Most deinstitutionalization had already taken place by the time of the Reagan administration in the 1980s, standard accounts of the rise of homelessness at that time an early instance of the mentally ill serving as cover for a ‘cost of living’ that became more unaffordable with neoliberal capitalism. To this day, mental illness and drug addiction remain causes, rather than effects, of homelessness, overshadowing such realities as inflated housing (and medical) costs.
The present agenda appears to be reinstitutionalization, as increasing legislative measures (lawfare) for asylums complement other auxilary components of the US prison industrial complex, by far the biggest in the world, from homeless shelters (poor houses) to immigrant detention centers to FEMA camps just waiting for the next plandemic. The medical industry’s pathologization of the general population has laid an extensive network of discipline and punishment for the MAHA digitalization of health care now marching us into an American gulag, where psychiatric imprisonment for political dissidence truly threatens to take on nightmarish proportions. (Are you still going on about covid and conspiracy theory? You may be suffering from ‘oppositional defiant disorder’ – one of the latest additions to the ever-expanding fictions of the DSM. Please report to your nearest ‘care’ center for ‘treatment’.)

The author conflates America and the United States.
The latter is a corporation, not a land or nation – 28 USC§ 3002 (15)US citizens, doing business as their NAME (another sub-corporation of the United States), act as collateral for loans of debt currency made to the United States, by the private Federal Reserve and owed back with interest.
These are not the signs of a lawful government and the author, being an attorney, has to know this.
“According to USA Today, social workers, medical experts and mental health service providers say the president’s approach “will worsen homelessness” because Trump’s order contains no new funding.”
Homelessness is a business. No one cares a f… about them.
Thank you Whiteheads, for one more time, unloading and leaving this whole shit to us.
“The war on drugs.
The war on terror.

I am not expecting the Whiteheads to enlighten us any time soon on how exactly the three Wars they mention were “real concerns”.

Here comes that handy little phrase that can be applied to any situation the murderous Cabal wants:
Trump wants to see more use of civil commitments (forced detentions) for anyone who is perceived as posing a risk “to themselves or the public.
Such as people who dare to dissent online, people who refuse any future so-called ‘health’ diktats, you name it.
You can drink and eat yourself to death but you can’t pose a risk to yourself by not getting vaxxed? Is this the future?
Control of the food is the final battle ground. Once hijacked you’ll starve if you refuse their poison.

Read that nanobots in food supply will be connected to starlink. Just saying…
By eating/drinking the commercial swill or getting commercial jabs, you are contributing to the economy and the profits of the fattest cats. Even better if you fall ill as the medical industry gains.
Re “commercial jabs”, are there any other kinds?
I guess that means that using your brains the way they were meant is going to be labeled a “mental health issue” and will be criminalized as a abusive subversion of intellect..?
Yep. Critical thinking will be outlawed. If caught you’ll be sent to a re education camp, placed in front of a TV, and forced to watch endless soap opera’s until you start behaving like the rest of the cattle.
The whole subsciption programming is now a lot worse than soap operas
The subscription model was suggested to me by a person with shit for brains.
I rejected the idea for fear of having my brain turned to shit.
The streets are full of mentally ill people who, some 40 years ago, would have been adequately housed in asylums. Then, liberals closed the asylums for some kind of weird human rights reasoning, and then the conservatives kiboshed the funding for the halfway houses that were supposed to replace the asylums. Ergo, masses of mentally ill homeless wandering the streets uncared for at all. Good going, guys. The liberals are not the good guys here.
are you honestly suggesting that a system in which people are held against their will, forced to take drugs and where any complaints they might have the courage to voice can be dismissed out of hand as delusional ravings, that such a system is not a perfect breeding ground for every possible kind of abuse?
anyway there were a series of journalistic exposés in that period documenting various atrocious cases of such mistreatment
one that seemed to have a pretty powerful effect was Geraldo Rivera’s investigation of the Willowbrook hospital in New York City, if I’m not mistaken
whether all the accusations were true is another matter, and surely they served somebody’s selfish agenda, rather than purely a great altruistic urge to improve the public’s well being, but I would be very very surprised to learn that there was absolutely no legitimate basis to these claims
The Philadelphia State Hospital, popularly known as Byberry, closed in 1990 after a series of investigative reports exposed its horrific conditions– the stuff of Charles Dickens novels.
It opened in 1911, and until its ignominious finale was generally considered adequate housing for the mentally ill, primarily by people who viewed it from a distance and had no direct personal experience of its operation.
In general, the public ignored or dismissed piecemeal reports of the abuse perpetrated upon its inmates. Or, worse yet, acknowledged that it might not be run like a luxury hotel, but was good enough for the chronically mentally ill who couldn’t afford to live anywhere else. 😡
And yet the hundreds, thousands, millions of severely mentally ill people who lived much better lives in institutions than they would have in the streets–where is the report on them. Because I assure you they existed. And where is the report on what it’s like living in the streets of Philadelphia. Have you ever been to Philadelphia?
If not, here is a video proud to be American in Philadelphia: https://sonar21.com/proud-to-be-an-american-in-philadelphia/
Its actually a very difficult job to deal with mental disables and addicts like these.
But if they can do Abu Ghraib with ordinary people, what atrocities will it e with mental disabled.
The Seventh Day Adventists’ mental health facilities traces its roots back to 1866. Of course they have religious component but are “wholistic” in their approach. I had a relative in one of their facilities and she said there was no push to become Adventist.
My point being a wholistic program that acknowledges Spirit is important.
So you believe Geraldo Rivera. I thought this was the website where everybody questions everything and everybody thinks everything is a hoax.
Being kept in an insane asylum is often much preferable to being abused in the streets. Do you have any idea what it is like to live in the streets. Are you actually daring to say that living in the streets is preferable to living in an institution. What about when it snows? Do you know anything about the real world, or do you just watch TV and develop all of your “opinions” therefrom?
You make good points and those point out the inherent problems and contradictions. Yes, the truly mentally ill have not been taken care of, and there are many reasons for that – funding being a big one, but also the big problems of potential abuse of mental “patients” which have been well documented. So “liberals” decimated the mental health system due to abuses, while “conservatives” defunded it. That’s the simple answer and obviously leaves out a lot of nuance and detail, but for now we’ll go with it.
Besides all the forced medications, there were many, many experiments done on people in those institutions (let’s do remind ourselves of something called MKULTRA as well as other “programs” carried out in far too many of those facilities whose names we do not know), obviously many of the “treatments” used were extremely problematic, to put it mildly. And that there is the problem – how to devise any system that will fairly and humanely treat true mental illness but one which cannot be abused by psychopaths in white coats. So far as I see it, there is little hope of achieving that under our current regime, and I am in no way singling out Donald Trump as THE only problem here as there is a long, rich history on this particular issue.
Let’s talk about all those great “medications” for mental illness, many of which are basically poisons, some can even produce the symptoms one is attempting to “treat” by using them, and most with completely unknown long term side effects which are NOT studied nor are those ever addressed if they’re mentioned at all. As someone who has experienced the effects of these “treatments” as a family member of someone under “mental health” care, the inherent abuse of our current systems should not be taken lightly, AT ALL. I’ve also read quite a bit about some of these medications as well as some of the history of “mental health treatments” so I didn’t get my information from the teevee.
As to whether an “insane asylum” is better than the streets, that is debatable, and mere opinion has a lot less to do with it than realistically taking a look at all the opportunities for abuse by those who run these facilities and push the drugs. And push them they most certainly do as that’s all most of them are trained to do.
I call it an “insane asylum” because that is what it was called before the erosion of our language.
And you think asylums are bad because you watch too much TV. It is in the interest of TV to build up the horrors and underplay the everyday beneftis. I assure you, life in an asylum isn’t Disneyland, but, for many, it was preferable to a life in the streets. That fact does not get reported. It isn’t newsworthy. It doesn’t bleed.
Recently did You Tube search on “asylums” bc many on Social Media seem to think that wd solve alot of problems, ie lock those crazies up so we don’t havta figure out better ways. Docus re Willowbrook, TransAlegheney, Broadmoor, frontline reports; just watch 2or3 and you’ll say, “We gotta come up with something better than that!”
Care in the community was a thatcher thing dear boy.
Kind of narrow-minded aren’t we?
Who cries out for human rights? Who cries out for freedom? Who agitates for the rights of the mentally ill to be free from mental asylums? Not conservatives, I assure you. Thatcher just went along because it benefitted her and her clientele.
As illustrated in the 2003 documentary The Corporation, most, if not all, corporations are diagnostically (according to the WHO definition) pathologically psychopathic.
Hence, the question arises are these demonstrably mentally ill ‘legal person(s)’ in immediate need for compassionate detention and rehabilitation in a publicly funded and monitored mental health facility in order to restore their sanity for the common wealth of the public good?
.
but the maniacs who claw their way to the top of the org charts are the GOOD kind of crazy, you know? like the deranged sociopaths who are the best choice for professions like infantry storm trooper, sniper or nowadays remote-control drone assassin
if you’ve found a niche in the social structure that enables you to thrive and even reap substantial rewards, ipso facto you are in perfectly healthy harmony with the reality that surrounds you, and no therapeutic adjustment is called for
well, unless there’s some sort of therapy that can be used to treat the mental illness of your SOCIETY that welcomes you into this niche
The Whiteheads are just cutting down a tree in the forest. Y’all know who’s responsible. The folks that killed million of Christians during the Bolshevik revolution. The people that push open borders, abortion, gender changing surgery, homosexuality. They started all the wars in the 20th century. They control the monetary systems of the world. All the world leaders are their puppets.
So yes, we have problems. But it’s best to identify who the enemy is. If we don’t where just a puppy chasing it’s tail
You mean the Judys, right?
Can we ask if the Whiteheads are providing cover wittingly?
Let’s remember that when Reagan, in the 60’s, talked California into austerity cuts to the Public Commons so that the rich would be detaxed, he defunded and in essence closed mental institutions. This was a huge driving force in a long term effort to destabilize US society by creating homelessness, now exploded everywhere. Post WW2 US capitalism was terrified of European socialist safety net programs installed to help rebuild the war torn continent, migrating to the US. When US post war dominance faded and Europe rebuilt competitiveness fueled by the support of socialist programs, US elite dreamed up the final an solution of an opposite nature: privatization. Their skills at demonizing socialism are 175 years old. McCarthyism failed but Reagan/Thatcher me-me-meism Western spyworks have been very effective at keeping socialism the evil bogeyman of middle class imagination.
The problem in 2025, is that measures being taken to finalize implementation of a privatized society are evolving into viscerally painful extremism, strangling the poor, squeezing the middle class, and inflating the top 5% (historically the percentage of royalty) with 90% of all disposable income and wealth.
The FED was privatized in 1913 and has become in the 21st C, the Bankster’s preferred method to enable 1% theft of all public assets. With the current Two Party’s president, the final solution is being presented. The privatization of everything valuable. Post Office. Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid. Public Lands for mining and clear cutting. Prisons. Defunding of all Public Services like hospitals, fire, schools, libraries (now largely community centers devoid of books), and almost all safety net programs like food stamps, or regulatory protections like an EPA, the PTB have made life easy to fail for commoners. As housing and education have gone up 30x, the Banksters have used our Treasury monies to indebt the People into serfdom. We have been caged by their economic War on Humanity.
Is it any secret that their new technologies are taking away our employment, our thought, our speech, our assembly and redress? Of being used to control all human behavior? No. Implementation of their Final Solution requires a totalitarian police state where all humanity is a threat to be corralled. We must first vet solution scenarios. Yes we can. Imho.
Reagan had a lot of support from right-minded, conscientious, kind, well-wishing liberals in closing down the asylums. Asylums are bad, didn’t you know?
Whatever exists should be rehabilitation of voluntary participants to a life they wish to live. The problem is, the PTB never make the common sense solutions like I described above. They are always dysfunctional, like prisons dysfunctionally make things worse for commoners and better for the rich.
It didn’t just happen in America under Reagan, it was also implemented in Britain under Thatcher in the early 1980s and continued by successive governments of the left and right.
It was called ‘Care in the community’ and was an idea pre-dating Thatcher. So Britain a country with socialised medicine – through the NHS – has also pursued the same policy. Also other European countries with socialised medicine did the same. The directive came from the European Union.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168851024000915
Also, the WHO is encouraging SE Asian countries to do the same, after promoting the idea in other nations.
https://www.who.int/southeastasia/news/detail/12-03-2024-deinstitutionalize-mental-health-care–strengthen-community-based-services–who
So although it is a nice soundbite to blame those ‘capitalist pigs’ on the right, socialist countries did the same. It is an agenda item pushed from the globalist supranational level down to nation level across the world to aid societal breakdown and cause more chaos. Any short-term economic benefit is secondary, but serves as a nice carrot to get the ball rolling.
The capitalist pigs are both right and FAKE left in Western nations. Thatcher/Reagan privatization movement is merely the capture back process of eliminating socialist style programs adopted through emergencies created by capitalist/royalist over exploitation of reality, such as the Gilded Age, WW1, the Great Depression, WW2 and the neoliberal globalist plutocracy now attempting to control Humanity under the first word meme that will LOCKDOWN the plebs. The constant attempts to remove capitalism from cause and effect, and blame everything on communists, socialists, democracies, republics, conservatives or other political ideology is obviously a fallacy. The accumulation of excess wealth, capital, in the hands of a few, is THE #1 Problem facing humanity in the 21st C. Capitalism is the religion, dogma, the propaganda that is deployed to keep the rich in control. They do not care about any ideology, socialism or what have you. They believe in one thing. Profit and control of it’s operations in the hands of a tiny few. Any political decision making or policy, dictated rather than consensually agreed to, is unacceptable totalitarianism. Allowing capitalists to deploy their policies thru wealth and authority is equally unacceptable and totalitarian.
It reminds me of immigration. You know–if you oppose immigration, you’re a racist. If you think mentally ill people should be institutionalized, you are a fascist. Because of human rights, you know. Yeah, I know. A lot of people have the human right to suffer and starve eaten alive by lice, preyed upon by hoods, toasted and frozen by the elements, etc. Much preferable to a climate-controlled asylum with 3 meals a day, medical care, clean places to sleep, protection from criminals. Much.
Well put. In other words, hard as it is for people steeped in conventional wisdom to swallow, institutionalization is on the whole better than “community care.” Such an illiberal position, no wonder they can’t take it. Even though it’s true.
Banksters don’t control ‘leftist’ governments? Come on; the most genocidal communist regimes in history were all creations and servants of banksters.
Banksters and the 1% control everything in this existing system where there is no socialism, no communism, republic or democracy. The words are there but the reality is FAKE versions of the supposed governmental organizational memes. It’s all chit-chat, bullsh*t. It’s up to us to make real, true forms of self-governing.
What you are speaking to, I am supposing by your call name, is the frustration of once believing in the false binaries (many variants) the elite’s have been selling us for as long as there have been elites. They sell you a FAKE cure, democracy, socialism, republic or what have you, then completely control the corrupt administration of it that bears no resemblance to the originating definition. They deploy facades for elite criminal empire cloaked in rabble-rousing memes to encourage followers coming back for more. My disaffection is aimed not at the word and it’s plastic manipulation, but at the overlords, their removal from any governing influence, and installation of self-governing that actually uses these tools to create, what the Greeks called, “the good place”. Don’t let them mislead you away from the solutions they dare not allow to be actually implemented. Imho.
…measures being taken to finalize implementation of a privatized society are evolving into viscerally painful extremism, strangling the poor, squeezing the middle class, and inflating the top 5% ….
If that’s not enough to drive someone insane WTF?
REVEALED: Life Of Luxury Inside Migrant Hotels — “Women Getting Pregnant To Force UK Stay” — A Mosqe Inside an Asyum Hotel. Youtube, July 28, 2025.
SHOCKING new footage reveals the life of luxury which hundreds of migrants are enjoying in an asylum hotel, which ordinary Brits could only dream of in an all-inclusive holiday. Material obtained by Talk exposes the extraordinary levels of comfort asylum seekers enjoyed at Copthorne Hotel in West Sussex earlier this year – which will further enrage hardworking taxpayers. Unprecedented access reveals PlayStation 5s, Apple Mac computers, free WiFi and designer clothes in hotel rooms with four-poster beds; to cigarettes, alcohol and weed being smoked in rooms which are then left for staff to tidy; to heating being blasted out 24/7, so intensely it has warped the doorframes.
Astonishing footage taken by hotel contractor Aston Knight gives unparalleled access to life inside a migrant hotel after he worked and lived on-site for 3 months. Eye-opening videos show piles of rubbish left in corridors for cleaners to collect, taxis booked to ferry children to school each morning, and greedy residents piling their plates high – including one migrant taking 10 eggs for breakfast – while others complain to management about the food. Knight’s footage also reveals there are 100+ babies living in the hotel – including 10 which were born while their parents lived in Copthorne. In the most disturbing revelation, hotel workers discuss a man accused of preying on young girls still living on-site, and allegedly excused his actions by saying his interest in children was “normal in his culture”. Despite the many privileges, one resident stages a hunger strike demanding a faster asylum claim — leading to regular emergency service call-outs and, in one case, a police arrest. Other footage shows migrants playing cricket in the car park, being given drum and violin lessons, and praying in a boardroom which has been converted into a prayer room. The revelations paint a damning picture of the Home Office’s 5.8million-pounds-a-day hotel scheme – plus the many hidden costs on emergency services – sparking fury among Brits facing rising bills, stretched public services and housing shortages. One hotel worker says during the film: “Everyone’s so miserable. I don’t know why — they get everything for free!”
Its business.
I was wondering when the psyop would reach OffG 🙄
Nobody’s perfect.
You’re perfect, Erik. 😘
3 Years is all we have left. Reminds me of UP POMPEY…’The end is nigh, the end is nigh’.
This time he would be correct.
The New Gulag?? Mental Health Detentions
nothing new about it.
this lot created it

Oh, that Trump, he sure is, oh wait:
“Housing-first strategy sure to undergo dramatic change if Project 2025 plans enacted.”
Pay attention to Project 2025’s plan to treat the unhoused | The State
But first, they want to create more homelessness and poverty by removing social programs, cutting food stamps and housing assistance, increasing unemployment, you name it. So, this is really about trying to hide the effects of their greedy and cruel policies and plans for the continued transfer of wealth, assets, and societal control to the rich. More poverty, more homelessness, more prisons, more taxes. But you won’t see them anymore because they’ll be behind bars. Paid for by the taxpayers. This is a war by the rich against everyone else. Trump is the conman they hired to front it.
How Project 2025 would increase child poverty & homelessness in the U.S. | First Focus on Children
Another example of how Trump is simply being led by his narcissistic nose ring by rich conservatives taking over Amerika on the ignorant coattails of the MAGA cult who overall are themselves more affected than any other demographic. Six months in, they still don’t get it.
“Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”
Trump, July 2024
A few will be shown on TV show on crime shows, but will not be paid for that. Also, privtised prisons mean almost free labour.
Many homeless people would probably welcome it. They’re not free wandering around urban streets, and many deliberately engineer time in hospital and even jail to escape the hardship.
You are correct, sir. Don’t let these nay-sayers get you down. They don’t know nothin about homelessness.
I wonder just how man Obamavilles/Biden/Trump-villes there are across America and how many homeless folk there are – Ah, the American Dream – is for some an American Nightmare; many new private prisons disguised as mental health facilities will need to be built – to house the prisoners, sorry I meant meant mentally ill folk, but they’ll be no need for more complicit judges, to help fill these new gulags up using trumped up charges.
The real war – is not on drugs or terrorism or poverty or homelessness – no the real war is on Americans, especially Americans who don’t follow the official narrative, I can see America eventually losing some states as the people rise up and stand against the Draconian Washington machine.
Its a business. Socialist business. “The president’s approach “will likely worsen homelessness” because Trump’s order contains no new funding“.
Why do people think governments have encouraged their citizens to ‘come out’ if they have mental health problems?
For example, Prince Harry campaigning to remove the stigma of mental health.
The more people who voluntarily see their doctor, shrink or psychologist means that their mental health issues are on their medical records for life. Getting them on anti-depressants or other treatments for years, to further damage them.
One day in the future should they step out of line, then it will be easier to cart them off to the looney bin or have them ostracised from society, based on their actual mental health disorder or past medical history. Not so easy to do in large numbers to those who have no history of problems, as it would raise suspicions.
One would have to be nuts to want that information on their medical records. Sure, get help if really needed, but use a fake name and personal details, leaving no audit trail back to one’s actual self.
Why do people think governments have encouraged their citizens to ‘come out’ if they have mental health problems?
You raised a interesting point as during c’ovid’ the culling started with the MH lot and elderly which in religion exacts to ”the less fortune” or ”born into sin”.
The same reason they’re encouraging Christianity.
”Being on the spectrum” is as fashionable as being into Jesus.
Both relates to having a serious mental health issues.
Jesus is king is like having a The Sunflower lanyard.
Detained dissidents – a psychological disorder – will be put on ‘suicide
watch’ and, later, the guards will scratch their heads wondering how the
detained got extra blankets, and how the cell’s surveillance camera
developed a glitch…
[State Assisted Suicide (GAS) aka, The Jeffery Epstein Option]…
Fantastic reminder of what this alternative president has done to his own people.
With the incoming death of the work markets killed by AI then the cuts to medicare (social security) Now the West is now being killed by people who look like them (again).
Make america great again means incarceration of anyone who they deem not great, just like the African ‘savages’ ‘native’ (The un educationed un civilized) of yesterdays world.
Trump reportedly kept a copy of Hitler’s book by his bed. As an illiterate, how much of it would he have understood? After the earlir propaganda that Putin was a Hitler, who is one now?
I’m sure the Whiteheads are well meaning, but their glass is ALWAYS half empty.
Are they part of some Christian or quasi religious doomsday cult?
Living IS difficult, especially for those in third world countries and areas of poverty in the richer nations.
Life, on the other hand, IS beautiful.
Nature, the joy of children, music, dance, art and just simply breathing the air around us.
Cheer up Folks, the world will not end.
The Whitheads are right. Mental health will be used as a weapon to suppress the truth.
Memes hit the web during the 2022 self imprisonment. School posters suggested children telling the truth were probably Autistic and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Another recent article (I forgot to bookmark) are suggesting people who shoot up schools, public buildings and spaces were found to have taken prescribed antidepressants. Then we have law enforcment telling you they are worried about your mental health if you question the narrative when stopped.
My behavior is based on stopping wolves, rats and snakes from entering my life and making it a living hell. Nothing more.
Hi Thom Crewz, if you could manage to locate that article concerning the relationship between prescribed behavioural modification pharmaceuticals and violence, I’d certainly like to see it. I’ve long held suspicions that persons lashing out in acts of seemingly senseless violence are under prescribed care.
Perhaps our resident psychologist and author, Todd Hayden, might entreat us with a detailed analysis – evaluating the correlation between the two.

This link may not work as I am no expert at this, but here is an article from Feb 2025 by “A Midwestern Doctor” through the Mercola site as well as Global Research. This article is an abridged version of a longer one, which is available through a link at the end of it.
There are probably other articles by Jon Rappaport if I’m not mistaken, but from what I have read in some of these there isn’t much written, yet, about this subject. One can imagine why.
The other thing about SSRI medications is that the advertisements for these drugs state openly that suicidal ideation is a risk, particularly for adolescents. Those ads never mention homicidal ideation, which is a known side effect as well. My sister got on these things through a “mental health” provider. She has never been the same and was on a cocktail of several different drugs. We are still estranged but from what I understand she is no longer on these drugs, but as stated, is not the same person today in many ways.
There are also suspicions they are subjected to subliminal messages from their mobile phone and/or some kind of radiation from the phone.
Blue light, WIFI and Bluetooth.
Did you ever wonder why the headphone jack disappeared from the cell phone?, yeah, me too. 🤔
https://alsett.com/the-connection-between-blue-light-operation-paperclip-and-behavior-control/
Above all, RF from the phone, whether or not in use. Worse with poor signal, such as inside a car.
If the phone doesn’t get you the 5G masts will.
Hi ProActive, I get such communiques when my GF phones to tell me that I should have been home several hours ago; but like a selfish or insensitive lout, I ignore such subliminal instruction. That said, I refuse to submit to her attempts to domesticate me for a life of servility.
With respect to those who lash out with senseless acts of violence, I reckon that a ‘conditioning agent’ must be applied prior to the act, whether pharmacological (toxically/narcotically-induced), coercive (emotionally/behaviourally conditioned) or a combination of both.
Susceptibility to subliminal messaging sufficient to overcome innate inhibitions must meet one of the afore-mentioned conditions.
That said, I’d appreciate follow-up notifications in the media concerning any palliative treatments which may have been administered prior to the act of violence; but I guess that’s too much to ask from a media institution focused on advertising, sensationalism and fear-mongering.
There’s been some shoot-ups by delusional juvenile transexxuals which would implicate some hormones, some psych rx and let us never underestimate the power of jabb + boosters to induce chaotic insanity.
@Munk
I don’t recall the particular article I read, it was a long time ago. I’m not a great bookmarker and used the keywords “shootings linked to antidepressant.” There are many articles around about the issues, so much that even the fact checkers are out to cause a diversion.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/there-is-decades-of-evidence-that
Check Dr. Breggins writings.
It is the only way to wake up an imbecile school board or a public bureaucrat office. Take two magnum 45 with you and shoot the hell out of everybody until they listen!
I heard that no longer works. They tend no to listen to anyone once dead.
Not until todays evolution has had a chance to play out, after that, LOOK OUT!
We are all doomed. In 2030 there is no more shekel to own. They will find a day to also ban gold, as they did in 1930.
No more shekels, no more gold, only digital usury loans. No more fun, no more happiness. US Police States Gulag Communism in 40 years from 2030 to 2070. Cheers!
