Why were insane asylums shut down? The main reason was because psychotropic drugs became the alternative. Patients could thus be drugged out of their minds, wake up and pop more drugs without ever curing anyone. The secondary reason is because the corruption was massive. Typically, asylums are state run and thus another tax burden. They benefit by keeping their patients sick. Oversight is nonexistent. And like retirement institutions finding competent employees means importing them from Africa.
Trump wants a return to this model of dealing with the ‘insane’.
INSANITY DETERMINATION:
Insanity is determined through a judicial decision issued on the basis of expert opinions of psychiatrists and psychologists. It is a legal application typically driven by criminal conduct. With the closure of the Asylums, insanity was no longer a medical diagnosis. Thus, giving those who are clinically insane freedom from oppression. Until/unless they commit a crime.
That’s the picture – but it is not the reality. Insane asylums simply changed their name to sound more friendly; Mental Health Facility. Behavior Treatment Facility. Mental Clinic. And this doozy – Mental Health Recovery Resort. Accepted by all major insurance companies, (disqualifies Medicare and Medicaid). Benefits include – Private rooms – a spa – gourmet meals – private baths – massage and acupuncture – tennis and pickle ball – yoga – koi pond etc… all paid for by insurance like a vacation.
I wonder if you can check-in and stay forever – free?
They have a wide range of treatment conditions including ‘thought disorders’. Common types of thought disorders include: rapidly shifting between unrelated topics. Straying from the original point. Word Salad. Excessive, unnecessary detail. False beliefs. There are 20 labeled types of thought disorders that require behavioral hospitalization. The remedy? Antipsychotic medication to stabilize brain chemistry. In other words, we never really rid America of Insane Asylums, we simply put the dice in new cups and made taxpayers pick up the tab while lining the pockets of – Big Pharma.
So what exactly does Trump envision?
President Trump is actively seeking to expand involuntary psychiatric commitments and long-term institutionalization for individuals experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness. And apparently, he has already created an Executive Order to this end. Executive Order 14321 was signed as of July 2025. The Order directs HHS to gift grant money to states and institutions which clear the streets of those who are loitering, urban camping, or openly doing drugs. The effect is to move them from being seen to being involuntarily drugged into submission for the remainder of their lives.
This is an open call for fraud, corruption, and forced institutionalization. A lesson in how to get rid of your enemies. Trump directs federal agencies to make ‘commitment standards more flexible’.
46 percent of Americans will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition sometime in their life. Half of those people will develop conditions by the age of 14. With the homeless cleared from the streets, this percentage will increase exponentially. What causes mental behavioral issues? Over 200 prescribed and over the counter drugs are associated with psychiatric side effects. Those drugs include blood pressure meds, beta blockers, birth control pills, acne medicine, nerve pain meds, antacids and of course pain meds.
Psychotropic Medications have debilitating side effects – but one in particular stands out – “Mood Changes”. As in causing mental illness. Given the list of side effects, I can see why mood changes would occur! If you are placed in a ‘behavioral facility’ involuntarily, you do not have the option to refuse medication.
An example of genetic mental health issues is highlighted in the Hemingway family wherein the depression becomes so severe that suicide feels like the only option. Brain chemistry is a relatively new phenomena wherein chemicals such as serotonin levels in the brain may be deficient. But there is really no viable way to test serotonin in the brain – only in the blood or urine which does NOT reflect brain chemistry. Which is why psychotropics cure nothing. In Contrast – Traumatic Events can alter the brain’s functioning, as in PTSD, common in soldiers.
Without getting into the genetics and the Hemingway phenomena, the vast majority of mental disorders could be avoided in a society built on compassion and proper diets. The 46% is a ridiculously high number for a developed country but we are currently governed by billionaires and Fauci’s whose primary goal is CAUSATION of physical and mental disorders to eradicate masses of populations.
70 million Americans live with some kind of disability. Mental Health is the primary cause of American’s living with a disability. 14% of Americans have a mobility disability. 4% of Americans cannot dress or bathe themselves. The US and Australia have the highest rate of mental health disorders in the world. Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the US also have the highest rates of cancer. Africa has the lowest rates. What is different? Vaccinations and food loaded with toxic chemicals.
Glyphosate is a proven cancer causing chemical that Trump has deregulated in our food system. Israel has been aerial dosing it’s enemies with Sulphur and glyphosate for the purpose of destroying their land use and infecting the people of Lebanon and Syria. In addition to cancer, glyphosate causes infertility, organ damage, developmental abnormalities, and neurobehavioral disorders. As in Mental Health Disorders. Full Circle.
I remember the times before the libtards shut down the insane asylums. It was a much safer, sane and less riotous time. You might have an occasional homeless person, but loitering laws usually took care of it. People were able to go about their business without being harassed or molested.
These inmates were crazy and violent due to frequent paranoid ideations that accompany many mental disorders Some had outright Paranoid and/or Homicidal Schizophrenia. I was assigned to a state mental hospital for psychiatric rotation when I was in training and the last place these people needed to be was out in public.
I also remember when they closed these facilities. It didn’t take long before the dire results of that decision were obvious. Crime increased, derelicts wandered streets soiled with their own waste inappropriately grabbing woman, begging for money, they used their disability check to buy illicit drugs which made them worse than they were. Another libtard idea gone south.
I also realize mental illness was weaponized by both Hitler and Stalin to get rid of undesirables, dissidents, and the truly insane.
Neither extreme works. But the long and short of it is that the truly insane must be kept out of society behind locked doors. Because of rampant drug use with stronger drugs, it is more important than ever. Many who were not mentally ill have made themselves so by bad decisions and refuse help when it is offered. They cannot be allowed to pollute society with their irresponsible, often destructive behaviors.
We have a problem now in Virginia made by libtards. In Charlottesville, a beautiful riverside park where people could go to be in nature is now so polluted with homeless tents, refuse, human waste, drug paraphernalia and derelicts who threaten would be visitors. The river is becoming polluted and it is a tributary in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Police are often called for overdoses and fights. All because these people have rights? Bull, no one has the right to destroy. Enough of this self and society destroying behavior. If you can’t be responsible for yourself, are violent, have socially destructive behavior, than you lose those rights. Rights that come from God have inherent responsibility and accountability attached. To think differently is to forsake common decency and expectations.
Otis, the town drunkard in the Andy Griffith show , was responsible enough to come into the sheriff’s office and self incarcerate when he went on a bender. He was pleasant and funny. Just a sitcom, but there is a message. Andy and Barney tolerated him. Now what would be the outcome if Mayberry was inundated with violent druggies, criminally insane and maladaptive behavior issues. If tolerated, Mayberry would be destroyed and townspeople would leave. But, Andy would call the state police and they would be shipped to a state mental hospital, which we no longer have.
Horrible as they may be, they are a necessary evil. And hopefully they can be improved. And not sedating the patients to some extent can guarantee a violent outcome akin to a prison uprising.
We must try to give them humane conditions in which to live, but in many situations they are so self destructive in their thinking, they rebel against those conditions themselves. Those with less destructive forms of mental illness might avoid such an outcome if they can grasp help and develop self responsibility. That is a crapshoot.
It is a difficult thing to live and manage in a society where a good portion of the population has checked out by trauma, heredity, choice and sheer irresponsibility.
When I was 17, my high school had a work program I joined in my senior year. I had enough credits except for English and History. A school bus would take us over to Pilgrim State Hospital in Brentwood, Long Island where registered nurses taught us a nurse’s aide class which included working directly on the wards. I had my own set of keys to open and unlock the doors of numerous wards. I saw terrible things. I was attacked. I was threatened. Thrown on the floor by the crazies. I participated in shock therapy sessions, helped put people in tubs of ice cubes. This was considered a therapy back then. People were tied up to their chairs in the day rooms. Babbling, yelling, screaming insanity. Everyone was medicated with Thorazine. The year was 1967-68. I will never forget it. How on earth the school system let a group of 17 year old girls work on insane wards is beyond me. My parents did not realize the depth of what was going on.
Pilgrim State Hospital was huge. Many buildings. Underground tunnels where nurses were murdered. Laundry building. It even had its own farm. The books need to be open$ about this hospital. It still stands today according to what I read but does not treat the insane or criminally insane anymore. God only knows what might be going on there now.
Is it better though, to let the insane run the streets and kill ad libitum? LIke the man on the tramway who killed a girl? and a few months before that, someone else was waving a knife and hurt or killed someone. That is no solution either.
