FLASHBACK -- Over 20 SEALs Who Killed Osama Bin Laden Now Dead... SEAL Team 4 Commanding Officer best known for finding & then killing Osama bin Laden commits suicide.

SEAL Team 4 Commanding Officer Job W. Price 'commits suicide.' He was best known for finding and then killing Osama bin Laden.
Cmdr. Job W. Price, 42, died Saturday, Dec. 22, of a non-combat-related injury while supporting stability operations in Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan.
Suicide of the Officer of this grade raises many questions among the media, as the team was best known for killing Osama Bin Laden that assaulted his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 1, 2011.

I’s search for ‘Mo,’ suspect in bomb threats, highlights use of malware for surveillance

By Craig Timberg and Ellen Nakashima, Published: December 6 E-mail the writers

The man who called himself “Mo” had dark hair, a foreign accent and — if the pictures he e-mailed to federal investigators could be believed — an Iranian military uniform. When he made a series of threats to detonate bombs at universities and airports across a wide swath of the United States last year, police had to scramble every time.
Mo remained elusive for months, communicating via e-mail, video chat and an Internet-based phone service without revealing his true identity or location, court documents show. So with no house to search or telephone to tap, investigators turned to a new kind of surveillance tool delivered over the Internet.

China’s cyber-generals are reinventing war

Dominic Basulto MAY 31

Dear Sun Tzu, the new Art of War is digital, postmodern and non-linear.

The FBI’s elite hacker team designed a piece of malicious software that was to be delivered secretly when Mo signed on to his Yahoo e-mail account, from any computer anywhere in the world, according to the documents. The goal of the software was to gather a range of information — Web sites he had visited and indicators of the location of the computer — that would allow investigators to find Mo and tie him to the bomb threats.
Such high-tech search tools, which the FBI calls “network investigative techniques,” have been used when authorities struggle to track suspects who are adept at covering their tracks online. The most powerful FBI surveillance software can covertly download files, photographs and stored e-mails, or even gather real-time images by activating cameras connected to computers, say court documents and people familiar with this technology.
Online surveillance pushes the boundaries of the constitution's limits on searches and seizures by gathering a broad range of information, some of it without direct connection to any crime. Critics compare it to a physical search in which the entire contents of a home are seized, not just those items suspected to offer evidence of a particular offense.
A federal magistrate in Denver approved sending surveillance software to Mo’s computer last year. Not all such requests are welcomed by the courts: An FBI plan to send surveillance software to a suspect in a different case — one that involved activating a suspect’s built-in computer camera — was rejected by a federal magistrate in Houston, who ruled that it was “extremely intrusive” and could violate the Fourth Amendment.
“You can’t just go on a fishing expedition,” said Laura K. Donohue, a Georgetown University law professor who reviewed three recent court rulings on FBI surveillance software, including one involving Mo. “There needs to be a nexus between the crime being alleged and the material to be seized. What they are doing here, though, is collecting everything.”
The FBI and Justice Department declined to comment on the case or the surveillance techniques used in pursuit of Mo.
But court documents related to the investigation, created when the FBI requested a search warrant before sending the surveillance software across the Internet to Mo, have offered a rare window into the bureau’s tools for tracking suspects through an online landscape replete with places to hide.
The case also shows the limits of the surveillance software, which have not yielded Mo’s arrest, and the legal complexities created when the location of a subject is unknown.
“The suspect could be down the street or on the other side of the planet,” said Jason M. Weinstein, a former deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s criminal division who is now a partner at Steptoe & Johnson. He said he had no direct knowledge of the investigation of Mo. The case, however, “raises the broader question of whether the rules that exist now are adequate to address the problem.”
Mystery caller
The first known call from Mo came in July 2012, two days after a troubled man with dyed orange hair had gunned down 12 people in a movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colo., court documents show. Mo told the county sheriff’s office there that he was a friend of the alleged killer and wanted him freed. If the sheriff refused, Mo said, he would blow up a building full of potential victims.
Mo and a deputy sheriff ended up speaking by phone for three hours while also communicating for much of that time through e-mail. That left investigators with several leads, including a phone number and a working address on Gmail, the Web-based e-mail service from Google.
Yet Mo’s true identity remained a mystery. The number turned out to be for Google Voice, an Internet-based service that allows users to make phone calls from their computers. When authorities made an emergency request to Google for information from his account with the company, they learned that Mo had used an online tool called a “virtual proxy” to mask identifying information about the computer he was using. The name registered for the Google account, meanwhile, was “Soozan vf.”
There was no obvious reference to Iran, even though a set of pictures Mo later e-mailed to investigators appeared to show an olive-skinned man in his late 20s, wearing what court documents described as an “Iranian tan camouflaged military uniform.”
Over several months, Mo allegedly threatened to detonate bombs at a county jail, a DoubleTree hotel, the University of Denver, the University of Texas, San Antonio International Airport, Washington-Dulles International Airport, Virginia Commonwealth University and other heavily used public facilities across the country, court documents show.
Though no bombs were ever found, during his rash of threats Mo began using an ominous new e-mail address: “texan.slayer@yahoo.com.” He also gave investigators a plausible full name for himself — Mohammed Arian Far — whose initials roughly fit a name he had used when registering his Google account: “mmmmaaaaffff.”
The account information, gathered after the approval of a search warrant in September 2012, listed a birthday that suggested Mo was 27 years old, fitting the estimates investigators made based on the pictures he had sent them. The field for country said “Iran.” The computer IP address used when Mo had signed up for the account in 2009 suggested he was in Tehran, the capital, at the time. But it wasn’t clear where in the city he lived, or even if he was still there.
Phishing for a suspect
The FBI team works much like other hackers, using security weaknesses in computer programs to gain control of users’ machines. The most common delivery mechanism, say people familiar with the technology, is a simple phishing attack — a link slipped into an e-mail, typically labeled in a misleading way.
When the user hits the link, it connects to a computer at FBI offices in Quantico, Va., and downloads the malicious software, often called “malware” because it operates covertly, typically to spy on or otherwise exploit the owner of a computer. As in some traditional searches, subjects typically are notified only after evidence is gathered from their property.
“We have transitioned into a world where law enforcement is hacking into people’s computers, and we have never had public debate,” said Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist for the American Civil Liberties Union. “Judges are having to make up these powers as they go along.”
Former U.S. officials say the FBI uses the technique sparingly, in part to keep public references to its online surveillance tools to a minimum. There was news coverage about them in 2007, when Wired reported that the FBI had sent surveillance software to the owner of a MySpace account linked to bomb threats against a Washington state high school.
The FBI has been able to covertly activate a computer’s camera — without triggering the light that lets users know it is recording — for several years, and has used that technique mainly in terrorism cases or the most serious criminal investigations, said Marcus Thomas, former assistant director of the FBI’s Operational Technology Division in Quantico, now on the advisory board of Subsentio, a firm that helps telecommunications carriers comply with federal wiretap statutes.
The FBI’s technology continues to advance as users move away from traditional computers and become more savvy about disguising their locations and identities. “Because of encryption and because targets are increasingly using mobile devices, law enforcement is realizing that more and more they’re going to have to be on the device — or in the cloud,” Thomas said, referring to remote storage services. “There’s the realization out there that they’re going to have to use these types of tools more and more.”
The ability to remotely activate video feeds was among the issues cited in a case in Houston, where federal magistrate Judge Stephen W. Smith rejected a search warrant request from the FBI in April. In that case, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, Smith ruled that the use of such technology in a bank fraud case was “extremely intrusive” and ran the risk of accidentally capturing information of people not under suspicion of any crime.
Smith also said that a magistrate’s court based in Texas lacked jurisdiction to approve a search of a computer whose location was unknown. He wrote that such surveillance software may violate the Fourth Amendment’s limits on unwarranted searches and seizures.
Yet another federal magistrate judge, in Austin, approved the FBI’s request to conduct a “one-time limited search” — not involving the computer’s camera — by sending surveillance software to the e-mail account of a federal fugitive in December 2012.
In that case, investigators had evidence that the man, who allegedly had taken the identity of a soldier serving in Iraq, was living at a hotel in San Antonio, just more than an hour’s drive from Austin. The FBI’s surveillance software returned a detailed inventory of the fugitive’s computer, including the chips used, the amount of space on his hard drive and a list of dozens of programs loaded onto it. He was later arrested, convicted and sentenced to five years in prison for financial fraud and identity theft.
“Technology is evolving and law enforcement is struggling to keep up,” said Brian L. Owsley, a retired federal magistrate judge from Texas who was not involved in either case. “It’s a cat-and-mouse game.”
Still searching
Even though investigators suspected that Mo was in Iran, the uncertainty around his identity and location complicated the case. Had he turned out to be a U.S. citizen or a foreigner living within the country, a search conducted without a warrant could have jeopardized his prosecution.
Federal magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya approved the FBI’s search warrant request on Dec. 11, 2012, nearly five months after the first threatening call from Mo. The order gave the FBI two weeks to attempt to activate surveillance software sent to the texan.slayer@yahoo.com e-mail address. All investigators needed, it seemed, was for Mo to sign on to his account and, almost instantaneously, the software would start reporting information back to Quantico.
The logistical hurdles proved to be even more complex than the legal ones. The first search warrant request botched the Yahoo e-mail address for Mo, mixing up a single letter and prompting the submission of a corrected request. A software update to a program the surveillance software was planning to target, meanwhile, raised fears of a malfunction, forcing the FBI to refashion its malicious software before sending it to Mo’s computer.
The warrant authorizes an “Internet web link” that would download the surveillance software to Mo’s computer when he signed on to his Yahoo account. (Yahoo, when questioned by The Washington Post, issued a statement saying it had no knowledge of the case and did not assist in any way.)
The surveillance software was sent across the Internet on Dec. 14, 2012 — three days after the warrant was issued — but the FBI’s program didn’t function properly, according to a court document submitted in February,
“The program hidden in the link sent to texan.slayer@yahoo.com never actually executed as designed,” a federal agent reported in a handwritten note to the court.
But, it said, Mo’s computer did send a request for information to the FBI computer, revealing two new IP addresses in the process. Both suggested that, as of last December, Mo was still in Tehran.

DoD Documents - Military Authorized to Quell Civil Unrest in the U.S.

DoD Documents - Military Authorized to Quell Civil Unrest in the U.S.

What you may find particularly shocking is the conditions under which those forces can be deployed.

First of all, I would assert that it's never ok to use the military to crush internal unrest. Such measures are the hallmark of dictators and failed states. Some people however, might be inclined to justify the use of military force if the stakes are high enough. Trouble is once you open that door, who is to say where that line gets drawn?

Well, we don't actually have to ponder that question. The U.S. government has already given us their answer. Unfortunately according to a 2010 Department of Defense document entitled Directive 3025.18, the military is authorized to deploy within the U.S. to quell civil disturbances "when necessary to protect the Federal property or functions."
That's very broad, especially considering that the document discusses the conditions under which lethal force may be used. Soldiers are trained to kill. That's what they are good at.
You can download the document directly from the U.S. military's own website here. You can also view an embedded version at the bottom of this page. Believe it or not, this document is not classified at all.

Federal military commanders are provided EMERGENCY AUTHORITY under this Directive. Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the President in accordance with applicable law (e.g., chapter 15 of Reference (d)) or permitted under emergency authority, as described below (see DoDD 3025.12 (Reference (j)) and DoDD 5525.5 (Reference (c))). In these circumstances, those Federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances because:
(1) Such activities are necessary to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property and are necessary to restore governmental function and public order; or,
(2) When duly constituted Federal, State, or local authorities are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for Federal property or Federal governmental functions. Federal action, including the use of Federal military forces, is authorized when necessary to protect the Federal property or functions.
If you read through to the end of the document you will find that it states that unless this directive is revoked in 2015 it will remain in effect until 2020. Nice.

Seems like somebody's afraid that the peasants might get restless someday.

3 soldiers arrested in fellow soldier's stabbing death

By Chuck Johnston and Jason Hanna, CNN

Soldier served abroad, killed at home

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

It now appears the stabbing was not racially motivated, police say
The suspects, like the victim, were soldiers assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord
Friends say they were on the way to celebrate Tevin Geike's pending discharge
Witnesses initially said Geike was attacked after an assailant yelled about soldiers being white

(CNN) -- Three soldiers have been arrested in connection with the stabbing death of a fellow soldier who was celebrating his pending departure from the Army -- an attack that police in Washington state now say doesn't appear to be racially motivated.

Jeremiah Hill, 23; Cedarium Johnson, 21; and Ajoni Runnion-Bareford, 21, were arrested on charges of murder in the death Saturday of Army Spc. Tevin Geike, police said Monday.

All four were assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, not far from the Lakewood sidewalk where police say Geike was accosted as he walked with two friends and fellow soldiers early Saturday.

Police initially said they were investigating the death as a possible hate crime after witnesses said a black assailant directed a racial comment toward Geike, who was white, and his white friends shortly before the stabbings.

But interviews with all involved now lead investigators to believe that race was not a motivating factor, Lakewood police said Monday, without elaborating.

Geike, 20, of Summerville, South Carolina, was walking along a Lakewood street with two fellow soldiers after 2 a.m. Saturday when a car carrying five black men passed, with one of the occupants yelling a comment about the three being white, police initially said.

One of Geike's companions, Brian Johnson, told CNN affiliate KIRO that someone in the car yelled "something like 'white' and 'cracker.' "

The other friend, Matthew Barnes, told KIRO that he yelled back: "So this is how we treat combat veterans now?"

The vehicle turned around and stopped, and five black men got out, police said.

The groups exchanged words, but the five began retreating once they realized they were all soldiers, police said.

But Hill stabbed Geike -- and cut himself in the process -- before they left, authorities said, citing one of Hill's companions who police said they interviewed.

Barnes said Geike died in his arms.

"I'm sitting here holding him, trying to stop the bleeding with my right hand and calling 911 in my left, trying ... to get them here," Barnes told KIRO. "Right before I got off the phone, I couldn't feel a heartbeat anymore, and he was gone."

Geike, Barnes and Brian Johnson were on their way to a celebration of Geike's upcoming discharge from the Army, Barnes told KIRO.

Suspect asked for first aid, police say

Police said they made the arrests after Hill asked a fellow soldier for help mending his hand for a knife wound. That soldier, claiming Hill told him he wounded the hand when he killed someone, told a sergeant, police said.

According to police, Hill told the sergeant he injured the hand while cutting vegetables. Hill eventually went to a hospital, where he claimed he hurt the hand while cutting parachute cord, police said.

The sergeant went to police. Later, investigators identified and talked to a man who was among the five in the car. That man told investigators that Hill had bear-hugged Geike and pushed him to the ground, and that Hill was covered in blood when he got into the car, police said.

The five sped away and got rid of the knife, police said, citing the unidentified witness. A second person corroborated the witness's account, according to police.

Police didn't say how Cedarium Johnson or Runnion-Bareford were involved.

They also didn't say why they don't believe the incident was racially motivated, except to cite interviews from "everyone involved." Hill did not talk to investigators, who still do not know why the stabbing happened, police said.

Geike, an aviation operations specialist, joined the Army in October 2010 and arrived at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in April 2011.

Hill, Cedarium Johnson and Runnion-Bareford, as well as their two companions, were assigned to a combat infantry unit at the base, police said.

By Sunday, friends of Geike had placed flowers, a balloon and a sign on a sidewalk where the stabbing happened. Barnes said Geike was a good man and a great soldier.

"They were looking for trouble," Barnes told KIRO of the assailants. "They were looking for someone to attack. And we just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Depression (major depressive disorder)

Products and services

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)

SSRIs, a popular antidepressant type, can help you overcome depression. Discover how SSRIs boost mood and what side effects they may cause. By Mayo Clinic Staff

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. They can ease symptoms of moderate to severe depression, are relatively safe and generally cause fewer side effects than other types of antidepressants do.

How SSRIs work

SSRIs ease depression by affecting naturally occurring chemical messengers (neurotransmitters), which are used to communicate between brain cells. SSRIs block the reabsorption (reuptake) of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. Changing the balance of serotonin seems to help brain cells send and receive chemical messages, which in turn boosts mood.
Most antidepressants work by changing the levels of one or more of these neurotransmitters. SSRIs are called selective because they seem to primarily affect serotonin, not other neurotransmitters.

SSRIs approved to treat depression

SSRIs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat depression, with their generic names followed by brand names in parentheses, include:

Citalopram (Celexa)
Escitalopram (Lexapro)
Fluoxetine (Prozac)
Paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva)
Sertraline (Zoloft)

Paxil CR is an SSRI that provides controlled release of the medication throughout the day or for a week at a time with a single dose.
SSRIs also may be used to treat conditions other than depression, such as anxiety disorders.

Side effects and cautions

All SSRIs work in a similar way and generally cause similar side effects. However, each SSRI has a different chemical makeup, so one may affect you a little differently than another. Most side effects may go away after the first few weeks of treatment, but talk to your doctor if any side effects are too troublesome for you.
Side effects of SSRIs may include, among others:

Nausea
Nervousness, agitation or restlessness
Dizziness
Reduced sexual desire or difficulty reaching orgasm or inability to maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction)
Drowsiness
Insomnia
Weight gain or loss
Headache
Dry mouth
Vomiting
Diarrhea

Taking your medication with food may reduce the risk of nausea. Also, as long as your medication doesn't keep you from sleeping, you can reduce the impact of nausea by taking it at bedtime.
Read the package insert for additional side effects, and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.

Nearly Every Mass Shooting In The Last 20 Years Shares One Thing In Common, And It Isn’t Weapons

November 10, 2013

By Dan Roberts
Manasquan, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and its not the weapons used.
The overwhelming evidence suggests the single largest common factor in all of these incidents is that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.
Multiple credible scientific studies going back more then a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information show that SSRI drugs ( Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors ) have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to suicide and other violent behavior. One need only Google relevant key words or phrases to see for themselves. www.ssristories.com is one popular site that has documented over 4500 “ Mainstream Media “ reported cases from around the World of aberrant or violent behavior by those taking these powerful drugs…
…On to the list of mass shooters and the stark link to psychotropic drugs.

Eric Harris age 17 (first on Zoloft then Luvox) and Dylan Klebold aged 18 (Columbine school shooting in Littleton, Colorado), killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and wounded 23 others, before killing themselves. Klebold’s medical records have never been made available to the public.
Jeff Weise, age 16, had been prescribed 60 mg/day of Prozac (three times the average starting dose for adults!) when he shot his grandfather, his grandfather’s girlfriend and many fellow students at Red Lake, Minnesota. He then shot himself. 10 dead, 12 wounded.
Cory Baadsgaard, age 16, Wahluke (Washington state) High School, was on Paxil (which caused him to have hallucinations) when he took a rifle to his high school and held 23 classmates hostage. He has no memory of the event.
Chris Fetters, age 13, killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.
Christopher Pittman, age 12, murdered both his grandparents while taking Zoloft.
Mathew Miller, age 13, hanged himself in his bedroom closet after taking Zoloft for 6 days.
Kip Kinkel, age 15, (on Prozac and Ritalin) shot his parents while they slept then went to school and opened fire killing 2 classmates and injuring 22 shortly after beginning Prozac treatment.
Luke Woodham, age 16 (Prozac) killed his mother and then killed two students, wounding six others.
A boy in Pocatello, ID (Zoloft) in 1998 had a Zoloft-induced seizure that caused an armed stand off at his school.
Michael Carneal (Ritalin), age 14, opened fire on students at a high school prayer meeting in West Paducah, Kentucky. Three teenagers were killed, five others were wounded..
A young man in Huntsville, Alabama (Ritalin) went psychotic chopping up his parents with an ax and also killing one sibling and almost murdering another.
Andrew Golden, age 11, (Ritalin) and Mitchell Johnson, aged 14, (Ritalin) shot 15 people, killing four students, one teacher, and wounding 10 others.
TJ Solomon, age 15, (Ritalin) high school student in Conyers, Georgia opened fire on and wounded six of his class mates.
Rod Mathews, age 14, (Ritalin) beat a classmate to death with a bat.
James Wilson, age 19, (various psychiatric drugs) from Breenwood, South Carolina, took a .22 caliber revolver into an elementary school killing two young girls, and wounding seven other children and two teachers.
Elizabeth Bush, age 13, (Paxil) was responsible for a school shooting in Pennsylvania
Jason Hoffman (Effexor and Celexa) – school shooting in El Cajon, California
Jarred Viktor, age 15, (Paxil), after five days on Paxil he stabbed his grandmother 61 times.

Neal Furrow (Prozac) in LA Jewish school shooting reported to have been court-ordered to be on Prozac along with several other medications.
Kevin Rider, age 14, was withdrawing from Prozac when he died from a gunshot wound to his head. Initially it was ruled a suicide, but two years later, the investigation into his death was opened as a possible homicide. The prime suspect, also age 14, had been taking Zoloft and other SSRI antidepressants.
Alex Kim, age 13, hanged himself shortly after his Lexapro prescription had been doubled.
Diane Routhier was prescribed Welbutrin for gallstone problems. Six days later, after suffering many adverse effects of the drug, she shot herself.

Kara Jaye Anne Fuller-Otter, age 12, was on Paxil when she hanged herself from a hook in her closet. Kara’s parents said “…. the damn doctor wouldn’t take her off it and I asked him to when we went in on the second visit. I told him I thought she was having some sort of reaction to Paxil…”)
Gareth Christian, Vancouver, age 18, was on Paxil when he committed suicide in 2002,
(Gareth’s father could not accept his son’s death and killed himself.)
Julie Woodward, age 17, was on Zoloft when she hanged herself in her family’s detached garage.

ISEPP Statement on the Connection Between Psychotropic Drugs and Mass Murder

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR ETHICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY

Statement on the Connection Between Psychotropic Drugs and Mass Murder

The Board of Directors and membership of the International Society For Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry send condolences to the people of Newtown, Connecticut on their horrific losses. Our hearts go out to the parents of the children who were killed and to the families and friends of the adults who were killed.

We are calling for an inquiry into the connection between these acts of mass murder and the use of psychotropic drugs. Although the media have cited family members and acquaintances saying Adam Lanza was taking prescription drugs to treat “a neurological-development disorder”, we do not know if he was on psychotropic drugs. But we do know that James Holmes, the Colorado batman shooter, had taken 100 milligrams of Vicodin immediately before he shot up the movie theatre (1).

And we do know that:

Christopher Pittman was on antidepressants when he killed his grandparents (2).

Eric Harris, one of the gunmen in the Columbine school shooting, was taking Luvox and Dylan Klebold, his partner, had taken Zoloft and Paxil (3).

Doug Williams, who killed five and wounded nine of his fellow Lockheed Martin employees, was on Zoloft and Celexa (4).

Michael McDermott was on three antidepressants when he fired off 37 rounds and killed seven of his fellow employees in the Massachusetts Wakefield massacre (5).

Kip Kinkel was on Prozac when he killed his parents and then killed 2 children and wounded 25 at a nearby school (6).

In fourteen recent school shoots, the acts were committed by persons taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs, resulting in over 100 wounded and 58 killed (7).

In other school shootings, information about the shooter’s prescription drug use and other medical history were kept from public records (7).

This connection between psychotropic drugs and mass murder is not coincidental. There is enough evidence that antidepressants cause increased risk of suicide and violence for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and its Canadian counterpart to require that drug companies include a “black box” warning to that effect on their packages. Our first knowledge of this association between psychotropic drugs and violence came from studies completed in the early 1950s, (8). This was supported by research completed on antidepressants in the mid-1970s, (9). More recent studies have corroborated this association between antidepressants and homicide/suicide, (10, 17). Antidepressants, specifically Paxil, appear to more than double the risk of hostility events in adult and pediatric placebo-controlled trials (11).

All of the classes of psychiatric drugs can cause violent, irrational, and/or manic behavior. Among other effects, these drugs cause a neurological condition called “akathesia,” which means that persons who take them can’t sit still and feel like they are jumping out of their skin. They behave in an agitated manner which they cannot control and experience unbearable rage, delusions, and disassociation. For a detailed explanation of the neurology, chemistry, and physiology of akathesia, see Rethinking Psychiatric Drugs: A Guide to Informed Consent by Dr. Grace Jackson (8).

Psychotropic drugs – antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers – impair the ability of people to accurately and effectively process emotions. They take away caring. They dull conscience. In his book Listening to Prozac, psychiatrist Peter Kramer reported that his patients on Prozac didn’t care as much. They lost some of their conscience. This made it easier for them to do things that were hurtful to other people (12).

In his book Medication Madness, psychiatrist Peter Breggin presents evidence of how psychotropic drugs cause people to lose awareness of how they are behaving and to lose control over their behavior. Such people are at greatly increased risk of committing acts of crime and violence (13).

Psychotropic drugs are toxic to the children and adults who take them. Psychiatrist Grace Jackson writes that “with the possible exception of the chemotherapies used in the treatment of cancer, it would be difficult to identify a class of medications as toxic as antipsychotics.” (14). The psychiatric drugs that we give to our children and adults in the United States have significant “side effects” including apathy, abnormal dreams, acute respiratory distress, akathesia, agitation, aggression, agoraphobia, paranoia, assorted blood pressure and heart problems, breast enlargement in young boys, measurable brain damage, cerebral atrophy, disinhibition, hostility, homicidal and suicidal ideation, convulsions, diabetes, Parkinsons symptoms, tardive dyskinesia, tremors, convulsions, psychosis, cerebral vascular accident, inability to express emotion, lethargy, increased chronicity of emotional problems, early dementia and early death (8,9,10,14).

We understand that many factors are involved in acts of mass murder. We are not suggesting that psychotropic drugs are the only or the major factor. But we do know there have been 22 international drug regulatory warnings about the impact of psychotropic drugs on suicidal and homicidal ideation, mania, violence and hostility (15). We do believe that there is enough evidence of the association between psychotropic drugs and mass murder to warrant an inquiry. And we believe that psychological autopsy and complete review of all medical records should be standard operating procedure in the investigations of these tragedies.

In spite of the evidence of this connection between psychotropic drugs and mass murder, the mainstream media has failed to write about it or investigate it. Psychiatrist David Healy says: “Violence and other potentially criminal behavior caused by prescription drugs are medicine’s best kept secret. Never before in the fields of medicine and law have there been so many events with so much concealed data and so little focused expertise” (16). Neither has there been an investigation by our Federal government into this connection. It is time to open the data and focus our expertise on this issue.

In closing, we again express our sadness at the murder of children and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School and extend our best wishes during this period of grief.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Judges Say Obama Birth Certificate A Fake

The Patriot April 16, 2014 BREAKING: Supreme Court Judges Say Obama Birth Certificate A Fake2014-04-26T10:22:56+00:00 News Comments

According to a report issued by the Associate Press, an Alabama Supreme Court judge stated that Barack Obama should have to prove that he was born in the United States, and that he was eligible to be on the state ballot in 2012.

The Republican panel voted 7 to 2, to uphold the dismissal of Alabama’s secretary of state to demand a valid birth certificate from President Obama and other presidential candidates. Justice Roy Moor and Justice Tom Parker dissented.
In Moore’s dissent, he claims that it is the duty of the secretary of state to determine the eligibility of the candidates by finding out if they are U.S. citizens.
“The complaint alleged that the Secretary of State failed to perform a constitutional duty to verify the eligibility of all presidential candidates appearing on the ballot in the 2012 general election,” Moore claimed. He further argued that although the election is over, the secretary’s duty to investigate the claims remains.

Parker went even further than Moore, claiming that the plaintiffs presented more than enough documentation to raise “serious questions” about the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate. Still, two other justices, Mike Bolin and Tommy Brian, argued that the secretary doesn’t have the authority to investigate each candidate’s qualifications.
What do you think? Should the secretary make Obama prove who he really is?

Bowe Bergdahl, U.S. soldier held by Taliban, was "ashamed to be American," emails show

This image from a video released by a Taliban affiliated group on Nov. 24, 2010 shows captive U.S. Army Spc. Bowe Bergdahl alongside his suspected captor, Mullah Sangeen Zadran. CBS

(AP) WASHINGTON - Emails an American soldier reportedly sent to his parents before he was captured by the Taliban three years ago suggest he was disillusioned and considering deserting.
Bowe Bergdahl told his parents he was "ashamed to even be American" and was disgusted with the U.S. mission in Afghanistan and with the Army, according to emails quoted in Rolling Stone magazine.
Bergdahl, a 26-year-old Army sergeant from Hailey, Idaho, was taken prisoner on June 30, 2009, in Afghanistan.
The military has never detailed circumstances of his disappearance or capture, and he is not classified as a deserter. He was initially listed as "duty status unknown" and is now considered "missing-captured." He is the only U.S. prisoner of war from the Afghanistan conflict, and U.S. officials say they are actively trying to free him.

Bowe Bergdahl: Prisoner of war, politics and diplomacy
Pentagon: We're doing "everything" to find POW
The White House declined comment on the emails or Bergdahl's possible motivation for leaving his base in eastern Afghanistan in 2009.
Bergdahl is the subject of a proposed prisoner swap in which he would be traded for five Taliban adherents imprisoned by the United States at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Taliban have walked away from the deal and larger negotiations with the United States, but the Obama administration is still pushing a negotiated settlement between the Taliban and the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan.
The Rolling Stone article, to be published Friday, also quotes other soldiers and associates of Bergdahl's as saying that he had talked about walking to Pakistan if his deployment was "lame" and that shortly before his disappearance he had asked whether he should take his weapon if he left the base. Friends and other soldiers describe a survivalist mentality, and Bergdahl's father, Bob, told the magazine that his son was "living in a novel."
"The future is too good to waste on lies," one email reads. "And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong."
The emails were provided to the magazine by Bergdahl's family in Idaho, which has gone public with its own discontent with U.S. efforts to free their son. There is no way to authenticate the emails.
Some of Bergdahl's reported words read like a suicide note.
"I am sorry for everything," he wrote. "The horror that is America is disgusting."
He mailed home boxes containing his uniform and books.

Traitor “Abdullah” Bowe Bergdahl wrote he was “ashamed to be American” before he went AWOL

Obama’s Taliban trade – one jihadi for five jihadists. Treason.

He sounds like Michelle Obama.

Obama and Putin Playing Out World War III Script Written by Banksters

With the present Ukrainian crisis, the Russians are looking like a foe that could pose a real military threat to the United States. The forces of war are lining up in Ukraine. However, there is not much that is spontaneous about this event. Both sides are playing out a prepared script written by the banksters.

The Russian Threat

Some people mistakenly believe that Putin is going to single handedly defeat the bankers and save America from the New World Order. Nothing could be further from the truth. Putin, Obama, Ukrainian government, Crimea and NATO are right on cue as each party plays out its script in preplanned scenario.
Ask yourself a question. Why would the Russians be posturing to fight the US over first Syria, and then Ukraine, while at the same time be building up their troops on US soil? Didn’t Secretary of Defense Hagel announce on March 5th that the US was breaking off military cooperation with the Russians over the events in Ukraine?
Then why would Hagel, on behalf of Obama, announce that we were reducing our military to pre-1940 levels in the midst of a crisis which could turn into World War III? Are we looking at gross incompetency, or are we looking at abject treason by deliberately compromising the military strength of the US?
The following paragraphs make it clear that we are looking at treason emanating from the Obama administration. And to those of you who admire the new “Christian” on the block, President Putin, you may get to know him very well in the near future.

The Order of Events That Will Follow

The answer to this question of what is coming is quite simple. World War III will be preceded by a series of false flag events which will be followed by the brutal implementation of martial law. The martial law will be enforced by foreign troops, the Russians and the Chinese. Below is a brief synopsis of the proof that I have previously offered, complete with references in previous articles.

Martial Law/Concentration Camp Document

The most telling set of events which indicate that Americans will soon be under martial law consist of the NDAA and Executive Order 13603 which does away with all due process and literally provides for the enslavement of American citizens. If this legislation is new to you, Google these documents and be prepared to be shocked. However, these aforementioned documents are not the most damning.
A short time ago, the awake people in this country were shocked with the revelation of new martial law documentation, FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations (PDF). which detailed that massive creation of FEMA camps which would soon house untold millions of American citizens
What lies below is more proof that it is will be foreign troops killing American citizens in these camps, not American soldiers who cannot be counted on to violate their oath to the Constitution.

Appendix NForeign Confinement Officer Training Program

Training U.S. Trainers
N-43. Soldiers and Marines who are assigned training missions receive a course of preparation to deal with the specific requirements of developing the target HN confinement officers (i.e. foreign detention officers). The course should emphasize the cultural background of the HN, introduce its language (to include specific confinement-related terms and phrases) and provide insights into cultural tips for developing a good rapport with HN personnel.

The following paragraph makes is abundantly clear what role the Russians will play in the new detention camps. They are going to be in complete control of these camps.

Training Methods
N-48. Training programs are designed to prepare HN personnel to eventually train themselves. Indigenous trainers are the best trainers and should be used to the maximum extent possible.

The day that the detainees hear the engines start up and the American military vacates the concentration camps, that will be the day that all American detainees better “get right with God”.
Can it be anymore clear, or is this administration simply kidding around?

Fort Carson, Colorado

Let’s not forget that Russian troops stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, practiced retaking the Denver International Airport from domestic terrorists in a widely publicized activity. Who would these domestic terrorists be?
They would be none other than members of the American military who are not going along with the plan. This also explains why Obama has felt compelled to fire 260+ senior military command officers because he cannot get the bulk of our military leadership to turn on the American people.

Obama Compromises America’s Defenses

The F-22 coastal surveillance flights over the Alaska/Russian border, were suspended by this administration because of “oxygen uptake” problems for the pilots which was causing them to blackout. That may, or may not be true, however, what is true is that nothing replaced these surveillance flights. The F-16′s could have easily performed the same task. This increased the opening of the backdoor to Alaska for a Russian military incursion should the present crisis in Ukraine turn violent.
People such as Amanda Mitchell repeatedly sent me accounts of Russian soldiers in Ketchikan, AK. I also received over two dozen emails from Juneau and some reports from the northern regions of the state in which Russians were training with their heavy equipment.
I have received repeated email communications from a former law enforcement official who does business on a local base in which he delivers product, near Victorville, CA., in which he has repeatedly witnessed Russians training with their own tanks on American base.
As I indicated in earlier paragraphs, there are Russians on the base at Fort Carson, Colorado and they have been repeatedly photographed.
I have also detailed how Obama gave Putin seven oil rich Islands that formerly belonged to Alaska. Some of these same Islands are ideal locations from which to launch an invasion of Alaska. I believe that this is precisely what will happen if NATO military opposes Putin in Ukraine.
Don’t forget about the good work of Sherrie Wilcox who has both uncovered hundreds of thousands of FEMA coffins outside of Atlanta as well as photographed Russian soldiers training inside of DHS vehicles in Western Kentucky.
There have also been many of the good people in Gatlinburg, TN., such as Dr. Susan Helman who have detailed the presence of Russian soldiers in their town. The presence and purpose of using the nearby Smokey Mountains as a staging area for Russian commandos has been confirmed by ex-Green Beret and military intelligence officer, John Moore.
According to Moore, it is likely that these Russian commandos are being trained to take down a city’s infrastructure which could be accomplished with just two six man teams. And we now know that there are literally dozens of Gatlinburg’s across America.

The Voice of Russia

As I got too close to the truth, the Russian media even tried to bring me into their sphere of control on the radio show, the state-sponsored Voice of Russia and tried to discredit me.
Shakespeare once warned us to not believe people who are protesting too loudly. Last fall, after I began receiving some notoriety for reporting on martial law legislation involving the United States (i.e. NDAA, Executive Order 13603, etc.), I was contacted by Russian propagandists at the Voice of Russia in which they wanted to interview me on the topic.
Not coincidentally, I was publicly stating that the Russians were going to be at the vanguard of a martial law contingency which would brutally subjugate the American people against any and all that would resist the takedown of this country and the installation of the New World Order.
The Russians interviewed me on these issues and they proceeded to misrepresent and minimize my professional credentials. And despite the fact that during the interview, I documented all claims with fact-based references, the show synopsis referred to me as an “extremist:” and again misrepresented my professional credentials. By the way, the order to interview me, must have come down from Russian High Command. They contacted me at 10pm, local time, to interview with them at 5 AM the next morning .
The interview was intent on discrediting any intention on the part of this administration to implement martial law. And the Russians were intent on discrediting this notion because they are going to be leading the implementation of martial law. Shakespeare was right about protesting too loudly.
Don’t forget about the microphone incident in which Obama told Medvedev to tell Putin that he will “have much more flexibility after he is re-elected”.
Of course, there is the FEMA Bilateral agreement with the Russian military and FEMA to bring 15,000 Russian soldiers to the US to participate in disaster training. I would indeed call a FEMA camp “disaster training”.
Don’t forget, that we have invited the Russians to participate in the upcoming RIMPAC war games which were designed to prepare to fight against Russian military strategies. And the Russians were allowed to observe our GridEX II drills in which showed them how to take down the power grid. This is unmitigated treason.

Conclusion

We would have to be dumber than a box of rocks to believe that Putin is championing an effort to overthrow the banksters. On one hand, he is preparing to fight banker hijacked government of the United States over Ukraine and on the other hand, his troops are training to enforce martial law in the United States. It does not make sense unless one considers the following chain of planned events:

1. False Flag attack designed to place the American people in vulnerable position.
2. The implementation of martial law designed to eliminate all opposition to the installation of a NWO government with complete autocratic rule. Any opposition to the coming World War III will be eliminated.
3. World War III will commence according to script and will devastate this planet so that the bankers can create a new order out of chaos.

Putin and Obama are playing out a script prepared by the banksters.
All of the above claims are documented in the reference section below.
