  1. Thank you for this. I live in the UK and was a victim of this fraud between the years of 2008 and 2015. Psychiatry is a power abuse and human rights abuse that I say should be abolished.

  2. Sounds like the psychiatric industry has taken it's cue from the private prison industry–its basically the same goal: get ahold of living bodies and house them in your facility for profit.

  3. I am a Vietnam Veteran 1st MAW DaNang Vietnam 1969,

    after the Armed Forces, went to college, fortunate to get a job and career, Mainframe System Analyst/Programmer 25 years. Bought a 1 acre wooded lot and old house. Then around 2000 Y2K, I was started to be bullied and attacked by the ‘Bully Deranged Group Thinkers’ that are after jobs and property, I was drugged and my property damaged, I refused to go down, got an EMS ride to the hosptial ER, not one person would help me, I had talked to the company EOD Office and the police. I had to take an early retirement. I was at the Lenape Valley Foundation Doyestown Pa, the Lenape Valley Foundation helps the community with social issues of families, married couples, children and individuals. They charge about 100/hr to talk to

    there professional staff of Psychologist and Psychiatrists. Now there were the ‘Bully Deranged Group Thinkers’ severe electronic sounds outside & inside of the building, the staff walk-around like nothing is going on, there must be idiots that manage the place, it is unbelievable.

    I am almost afraid to call ‘988’ to see what kind of people you may talk too.

    It is a ‘Nightmare’ that ‘We-the-People’ have to put-up with

    this antagonizing situation, the ‘Bully Deranged Group Thinkers’ have been making severe electronic sounds throughout Bucks County Pennsylvania and the USA for the last 25 years and longer trying to force people from their jobs and properties, nothing has ever been done about it, even it has never been reported on, it is a News Media ‘News Game’.

    ‘You can Expect anything to Happen’

    They have the electronic technology to make electronic sounds 24/7 and bug homes. These sounds may be, (voices, noises, tones, pulses, waves, hissing, vibrator) and Doppler effect frequency shifts. They know what you are doing.

    In Bucks County Pennsylvania the severe electronic sounds are making people sick and ill, Aggravated Electronic Sounds, knowingly and recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme Indifference to the value of human life…

    The Group Thinkers use the communities, Companies, Faceless Bureaucrats, Counselors, Psychologists, News-Media and Law Enforcement silence as consent and momentum to propel them forward, unopposed. ‘Stand Your Ground’.

  4. I was in the Marines 1967-70, Sgt Honorable Discharge, Vietnam Veteran, 1st MAW DaNang Vietnam 1969. In 2000, I was bullied and drugged by the Group Thinkers, they are after jobs and property. I lost my job of 25 years, I was at the Philadelphia V.A. they asked me to see someone. I really did not have to see anyone. At the Doylestown Pa Hospital, with my brother, who is ‘mentally disturbed deceitful’, does things on purpose, has some kind of childhood regression, he filled out a Section 302 form with false statements, there was no social worker or legal representation at the Mental Health Facility to represent you, if there were, I would have never signed the Section 302 form. How can they just fill-out a form and do a Section 302 on a person, how could they get away with such a thing. I am now 75 and retired. Time is 20/20, I know my bother and his wife are collaborating with neighbors, they tried to force me from my job and property. I have always been around honest people, I worked for a corporation for 25 years, if you have something to say, you must back it up with something… I have to take the position that there was no legal representation at the Doylestown Hospital Mental Health Facility and that a Section 302 Form with false statements is illegal and it should have been prevented right there and then and nothing should have been done or signed. The Public defender or the Judge did not question the truthfulness of my brother’s statements. The Doylestown Hospital Lawyer, will tell you, there was no social worker or legal representation at the Mental Health Facility to represent you 25 years ago. What do they do now. I would like to have a Pennsylvania Section 302-303 removed from my records that is from 4/17/2001. So now, I have to get a Lawyer, go to the Court of Common Pleas. I kind-of-think, that my bother, his wife, the neighbors, the community, and some people where I worked are-up-to-something for property, jobs and money. What a pain… What do you think of all of this! New Court Decision Allows The Expungement Of A Prior 303 Involuntary Commitment. By: Marc A. … Pennsylvania statutory law, however, permits individuals who have been subjected to an involuntary commitment under Section 302 of the Mental Health Procedures Act (MHPA) to file a petition to expunge that commitment.Jun 19, 2018 Pa Superior Court Rules There is a Right to Expunge a Prior prior commitment under Sections 302, 303, 304 or 305 of the Mental Health Procedures Act results in the individual losing their right to keep and bear firearms under federal and state law. Pennsylvania statutory law, however, permits individuals who have been subjected to an involuntary commitment under Section 302 of the Mental Health Procedures Act (MHPA) to file a petition to expunge that commitment. If the individual can prove there was insufficient evidence to support the 302, the Court will expunge it — thus restoring the individual's right to keep and bear arms. That statute, however, does not provide a mechanism for individuals to expunge an involuntary commitment under Section 303 of the MHPA. So, attorneys, including those at Scaringi Law, have been citing other law in challenges against 303 commitments including "due process" challenges. Many courts have refused to permit such challenges of 303 commitments, thus styming the efforts of individuals subjected to prior 303s from having their rights restored. However, in a new case called In re J.M.Y., 179 A.3d 1140 (2018), the Pennsylvania Superior Court sitting en banc has ruled a person who has been subjected to an invalid commitment under Section 303 has the right to request a court expunge that commitment – even if that person never filed an appeal of the commitment. This is an important advancement in the rights of Pennsylvanians – namely those who would like to exercise their 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms but are prevented from doing so because of a prior 303 commitment. Now they can try to have that prior 303 expunged, which barring any other disqualifications and provided they also have their 302 expunged under current statutory law, will restore their 2nd Amendment rights. The Pa Superior Court in In re J.M.Y. went against the position of the Pennsylvania State Police and a prior panel of its own court that maintained there is no right to bring a “collateral” challenge to a prior 303 commitment and that the only way to challenge it is on appeal. Because the decision in In re J.M.Y. is an en banc decision it is binding on any subsequent panel of that court. This ruling is particularly helpful to individuals who have been subjected to a 303 commitment, but who did not appeal that decision within 30-days. Now individuals can challenge that 303-commitment years later, after the time to file an appeal has long since passed and directly at the Court of Common Pleas. Although the court in J.M.Y. was examining a 303 commitment when it determined anyone who has been subject to an invalid 303 commitment has the right to have that commitment expunged, this holding should be applied to commitments under 304 and 305 as well. Any person who has a prior 302, 303, 304 or 305 mental health commitment and wishes to have that commitment expunged and thus have the right to one’s reputation and one’s right to keep and bear arms restored should contact Scaringi Law right away.

  5. I have been listening to your book on Kindle Audiobook, in 2000 Y2k, I was drugged and my property damaged, the Group Thinkers are after jobs and property, I was at the VA Philadelphia Pa, said I should see someone, anyway was at the Doylestown Pa hospital, my insurance would not pay their 20,000 charge and forbid them to charge me..

  6. New Jersey same thing. I was forced into treatment in 2014 and my only son was used as a weapon. My family did a better job than Charles Manson with his "adopted" family. I am suicidal on every drug that they give me.

  7. Punitive psychiatry – some sources say it originated in the communist block. The pills did not work for me. Horrible side effects. It did stop people that abused me since I can remember to abuse me. They did get away with their abuse.

  8. FORCED PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT RESULTS: I AM LOSING MY HAIR, MY SKIN IS IN A HORRIBLE CONDITION, I AM LOSING MY EYESIGHT, MY BOOBS WERE HURTING SO MUCH – FINALLY THEY DISCOVERED CYSTS, MY SPINE – BROKEN IN 3 PLACES CERVICAL, THORACIC AND LUMBAR – DAMAGED.

I WAS PUKING FOR A FEW YEARS AND HAD FINALLY I WAS TOLD I HAD A CYST ON MY DUODENUM IT CAUSED THE VOMITING

  9. If you’re an investigative journalist, you need to contact Kristopher Cemail…

    Kidnapped in an ER trying to get cancer treatment, he didn’t say a word, nothing like (I wanna hurt myself, or anyone else) or anything like that, looked in the courts for a petition for involuntary commitment and nothing…. Then when he was held against his will for 2 weeks to bill Medicaid over 200K for his stay…. And poisoned him with Risperdal and Haldol while his liver was reeling from toxicity and damage from 8.5 years of chemotherapy every day for leukemia. Damaged him further now he’s dealing with an unknown inflammation and fibrosis in his lungs and heart from the fibroblast production (excessive) that’s from the inflammation from the autoimmune response from risperdal…. On top of the liver trying to heal from prolonged use of Gleevec, causing the damage. Fibroblasts lead to the fibrosis. He’s also now dealing with dementia, Alzheimer’s/Parkinson's, transverse myelitis, polychondritis, and ankylosing spondylitis…. Just to name 6 off the top. He’s also potentially going to need surgery on both hips, knees, and shoulders…. And his spine in 3 places. Or he’ll need joint replacements on all of those joints if surgery and stem cells are not an option. There’s so much more to say about this, incredibly gifted and talented man too…. I hope he can be saved because he’s truly one of a kind. At any rate, maybe shouldn’t be saying this out loud, but the Feds opened an investigation into the scumbags who did this to him. He’s just outside Chicago, find him and help him get his story out and raise $ for stem cells, it’s his only shot.

    Can’t make too much noise about this to give the Feds the best chance at doing their job. So keep that in mind also. Keep Kris alive and he can make sure those who did this are made example of, he’s a hybrid ortho/lawyer unicorn…who has an innate savant talent for biology. Help him, he’s exactly who you’re looking for.

  10. Those drugs they prescribe that kill people, bc of the way they do this, those at the helm, are technically guilty of wreckless homicide, on top of bodily harm, false imprisonment and kidnapping with unlawful restraint, blatant af healthcare fraud, malpractice, on top of the tax payer footing the bill right there that’s like 3-4 more felonies a class 1 and 2 class 3s. And for those who knew the drugs were harmful, that means they had malicious intent, doesn’t matter to what degree, that’s straight HOMICIDE. That’s prison time. I have a friend who has the entire Chicago land on video doing this, and now he’s dying of liver failure and now heart failure because the healthcare community that knows he’s got them on video are all trying to kill through neglect in the ER and specialist room. He’s supposed to be on prednisone for the last 6 months to suppress the multiple autoimmune inflammatory responses that have caused multiple organ failure and neurological damage that he’s currently declining from right now, that too, they’re trying to cover their tracks with more healthcare fraud and malpractic, liver is pumping out too much fibrotic myloblasts and fibroblasts and it’s spreading.

    When the FDA lies about drugs, and say Gleevec causes heart failure, risperdal and Haldol too, it’s because they cause liver and neurological damage, thyroid, liver, brain, GI, reproductive organs, and musculoskeletal system is severely affected. They lied like IME whores in a personal injury case lying for the defense who paid them to lie. It’s the same lies I’ve been looking at for 14 years since I was awakened to this sickening stuff in plaintiffs personal injury…. These guys are possibly the worst of the worst.

    If any DOJ expert and med malpractice attorney that wants to meet this person, and take his evidence to bring these fuckers down, message me here in the comments, I check in on this video from time to time, I’ll arrange a meet. Journalists too.

    use this email, probably not smart but, I’m trusting the goodness of the world on this one. I’ll arrange the meet or he will respond directly himself. warholinteractive@duck.com

    Kinda filming everything and documenting all of this, he needs stem cells immediately and various other treatments that his treaters are not living up to with and it’s all on video, these people have been ordered to act this way by the operating directors of medical groups and possibly a lot more.

    Please help and please no spam, someone’s life is on the line, have some decency.

  11. This happened to me in Oklahoma. I was quickly locked away and given over 10 prescriptions. Somehow when I was finally discharged I automatically had Sooner care to pay all my bills. I've never qualified for Sooner care. My husband's salary is way too much to qualify for these services.

  12. Deliberately falsely misdiagnosed in Sacramento, CA 2014-2017 under Sutter Medical. Ormsby V. Sutter Medical False claims Act. Psychiatric diagnosis risk assessments elevated for higher payments to provider and Psychiatric hospitals to provide care for 'severely mentally ill" patients. I was personally affected. I submitted a complaint to the DOJ- DMFCU and they won't move on it. The feds got their $$$ but did absolutely nothing for the patients affected.

  13. This happened to me too, in 2018, but in a small ex socialistic country in Europe. The way they do it is to fabricate (a false) incident (in my case an attack on a father of my kids, who is a social worker, the situation that has never happened) someone close to you and with connections in mental health and/or social services calls police, ER and soc.services and they lock you in a mental health facility, without your consent. Police report in my case was accurate, I also acted sane and normal, but noone cared because "mental health crises" does not require even slightest investigation. If you do not have immediate family, like I didn't, or if the immediate family is on board with the manipulation, it is a very dangerous situation.

  14. This entire field needs to be abolished. It's pure pseudoscience and it is completely akin to the ancient theory of the four humours and the practice of blood-letting. It completely misses the the true, underlying nature of conscience and mind and then performs practices that only makes things worse, based on stupis assumptions.

  15. IM SUFFERING WITH TOXIC PARENTS.

    I WAS LOCKED UP IN A SITUATION.

    PSYCHIATRIST TOOK CHANCE TO LOOT MONEY AND PRESCRIBED UNNECESSARY MEDICINE WITHOUT PROPER DIAGNOSIS.

    IVE USED FOR 15 MONTHS, BUT I HAVE STILL SIDE EFFECTS AND ITS 5TH YEAR.

    AND MY DREAM IS TO BE A DOCTOR.

    BUT PEOPLE ALREADY GOT AN IMPRESSION ON ME THAT IM AN MENTALLY ILL .

    SO HOW CAN I GET CHANCE TO TREAT OTHERS IN FUTURE?

    I THINK, MY CAREER AND GOALS WERE DESTROYED BY PSYCHIATRISTS AND MY PARENTS.

  16. Psychiatrists are criminals no doubt about it. The commitment laws were made to fraud patients insurers. Psychiatrists also bill patients insurers in their private practice. They convince people with life's problems they are sick drug them turn them into a mentally ill psychiatric patients then profit off them

  17. Im scared im about ti be locked up in the loony bin?? and i dont even have a mental health disorder!..

    Mental health wanted to check that i wasnt on drugs !!
    because , they said they got a call that i was sending too many emails in the middle of rhe night!
    They said " most people are sleeping at these times ".. ????? ( This was From my housing provider because they were planning to put cameras in the street to catch people dumping rubbish…. But the cameras were going to be directly facing my BEDROOM! & MY LOUNGEROOM & COMMUNAL AREAS like letterboxes and private carparks etc.. ).

    I AM NOT ON BLOODY DRUGS!.
    I ACTUALLY WOKE UP & WAS THINKING ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES and there are MANY, MANY ISSUES INCLUDING MAINTENANCE ITEMS.. AND I EMAILED A BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS AFTER 4 YEARS OF APPEALS AND CONTINUED ISSUES THAT NO-ONE IS FIXING!!..

    And they wanted to check im not having " paranoid delusional " episodes about the cameras being put in my street which , will be looking straight in my bedroom & loungeroom !!

    I have been tricked by them to allow them to come in and talk!!..
    They brang up private issues and upset me a little bit by talking about dead relatives..

    Now I'm having serious trouble getting them out my life WITHOUT handing over my own private doctor's information to them!!
    Which I am not comfortable doing,!!!

    They wanted me to see their doctor
    And i have my own doctor..
    So they keep pressuring my permission by asking for my doctor info…
    and ive explained " I've only just started with him so am not comfortable doing it.."

    I agreed to see them once a fortnight instead of their doctors.because they would not stop pressuring me so much!?
    ..
    Now im saying i dont need your help..
    She said " thats fine. Your doing fine so ill close your file or case or whatever they called it? "
    .
    But now SHE'S JUST TURNED UP AGAIN!!!!! OUT OF THE BLUE " 2 weeks later ! "
    ( WITHOUT ANY NOTICE ) PRESSURING ME AGAIN FOR MY DOCTOR INFORMATION!!.

    IM SCARED !!!
    IF I play it wrong ! I'm scared they will choose to lock me in rhe looney bin out of EGOTISTICAL GAMES OF ME NOT WANTING TO GIVE MY PERMISSION!!!

    WHICH IS MY RIGHT TO CHOOSE MY OWN MEDICAL DOCTORS AND* MY OWN MENTAL HEALTH HELP!!.

  18. Thanks. I made a dramatic escape 2 years ago and quit my health insurance and moved across the country at the age of 49. Im not a popstar but my abusive parents were successfully able to utilize the mental health industry to abuse me in a similar way as Britney spears parents since I was 13. We have a similar family dynamic. I have been threatened with law enforcement and hospitalization and forced onto drugs for 35 years. My life and personality have been destroyed and I still live in fear though I moved away and no one knows where I am. I would rather walk through a field of spiders rather than see another mental health "professional " i suppose i got off easy though. A couple of decades earlier I might have got an icepick through my forehead and today I might be transitioning into a boy…but yeah..im the crazy one…

  19. I was a hospital kid since early adolescence. by the time I was 20, I spent a quarter of my life in mental health facilities. It was a genocide, my peers died, and continue to do so.

  20. Psychiatry is inadvertaintly aiding in human trafficking and drugs as a drug trafficking scheme to imprison and put as many people on drugs that are in fact being affected with neuroweaponry. We have confirmed cases of civlians being diagnosed with Aquired Neurosensory dysfunction and the first civilian diagnosed is victim and activist is Dr.Len Ber. The mental health field isn't acknowldging the prospect of potential abuse from neuroweaponry and is misdiagnosing people to push drugs for profit dispite the immense harm they are doing unwittingly. They need to stop peddling fallacies like v2k is merely "alleged" as in 1975 it was demonstated in a study at Walter Reed institute that patients were able to hear 9 put of 10 words spoken to them through microwaves and it was in fact the U.S. army that acknowledged the existence of v2k or voice to skull on their website which specifically list that v2k or voice to skull was either a electromagnetic device that allows you to beam the sounds or voices into the skull of animals or people to hear things, and the second definition includes any silent device that can be used to make people hear voices or audio subliminal messages directed at people to hear. This crime is being covered up by the fact psychiatry has no way to distinguish if someone is sane or insane, and by default they cannot distingush between someone being attacked with neuroweaponry and those who are not, and inadvertantly recieving a diagnosis discredits people that are genuine victims from a crime seemingly hidden in plain sight. A crime that infringes on human rights. The mental health field is weaponized and misinforming the general public after known civilian cases of Aquired Neuralsensory Dysfunction have been clarified, such as the first case being Dr.Len Ber. I implore you to consider looking to this pressing subject as the v2k can be used to brainwash some and get them to harm themselves or others. This is certainly an issue of national security and trully a public health threat. And mental health professionals feigning ignorance over the subject is negligance and not in line with acting professional.

  21. I went in to an ER and they medically trapped me for profit. I absolutely did not have any symptoms that should have held me there. They just capitalized on my family saying I seemed "off" that week. I was non violent and simply tired and needing a break from stresses. They forcibly medicated me against my will, performed an mri without consent and lied to my family and told them I wasn't sleeping there. They proceeded to drug me and grab me for no reason escalating every interaction.

  22. I would love to touch base with you on my story. As I've been unraveling the facts, I'm shocked to find out all the ways they milked my insurance for a fake diagnosis.

  23. There’s not enough awareness how psychiatry is fraud and a power play in society goes unchecked by corrupt drug companies lying about how they work.. and destroying peoples lives. This is a gold mine for a willing journalist to blow the lid on these evil practices.

    These drugs cause intense suffering like akathisia, and PSSD… I suffered Tardive akathisia, and it’s ruined my life. American Psychiatry practices has a world wide grip on everyone’s society.

    Yes, we are treated like cattle.. it’s absolute awful..

  24. I'm an old man who has seen it all. If a person has insurance, they may well be "over-pathologized". Then, later in life, when you are poor and apply for disability, psychiatrists may claim you are not mentally ill. And the poor people's psych clinic won't help you get disability, or even mention it as a possibility, because, they say, it would be a conflict of interest as they benefit from government disability funds. It has been comical watching mental health professionals see what they want to see.

  25. Same in the Uk…detained for three months..ultimately for reporting " Cyber criminality" directed my way then police cover up / psychiatrist fabricated medical health report on me…section 135act Mental health act pursued…many further reports to retain my detention!! Criminals still in operation…

  26. Psychiatrists determine “disease” by communications, not brain examination. And yet, this isn’t enough to convince people that this enterprise is quackery through and through.
