This doesn't come "close" to being human experimentation... it IS human experimentation! It also should come as no surprise as this has been going on in the "health care" community for a very long time. I will post a video above to demonstrate just one example of what I'm talking about... and that's in addition to my own situation! I have very clearly angered a number of "health care professionals" with both a number of my statements as well as the findings of my research, but there is a growing number of people, including physicians, who are verifying everything that I have been claiming... and the medical community must own up to it's roll in this and stop acting as if it's "shocked" by these revelations!

The American Psychological Association was well aware of MKULTRA and participated in it's cover-up in order to spare colleagues from embarrassment and protect their professional reputations! Aside from detainees... their are "health care professionals" at very prestigious hospitals, universities and research facilities who are STILL hiding behind their complicity! And there are a great many lives that have been devastated or destroyed as a result of the failure on the part of those who have been aware of it to speak out against it and stop covering for both these colleagues as well as these institutions!

I was Gitmo'd sans water boarding and walling for speaking out against about what has happened to me, and I have gotten very little to no support, particularly in my own state, from ANY physician or therapists.... some of which are even my very own colleagues! ... Read More

I stated nearly two years ago that this was NOT about only me, and if people were not going to come forward and support me... it was only going to keep getting worse! That's EXACTLY what's been happening... and I am now receiving regular reports of other's going through their own medical nightmare, while physicians continue to cover up for each other!

NO ONE is immune from this sort of thing happening... and those physicians and health care workers who are advocates for human rights and still adhere to ethical principles of practicing medicine or functioning as healers need to start acknowledging that this is not only going on "OVER THERE", but has also been going on right here in the U.S.! I will also post some other videos that are positively chilling, and I have myself observed the kind of covering up that members of the medical community do when there is one among their ranks who is unfit to practice medicine. The things that I have seen would right here in the U.S. would positively blow your mind! And yet I'm being portrayed as a head case for speaking out against this! I was also a whistle blower of Medicare fraud in 1999, and got "rewarded" for it by being harassed and and losing all sorts of opportunities to practice my chosen profession.

Had I not had to leave my field and enter into other lines of work, I would have been raising holy hell about a large number of things that were going on in medicine... and particularly in the field of psychology! I am disgusted with the roll that some of my peers have played in this... and I am also equally as angry that in my own situation... physicians and other members of the "helping" professions are more concerned with covering their backsides and their wallets rather coming forward and supporting me!

Quite frankly... I don't even recognize the United States or see very many true healers anymore!

Physicians for Human Rights Indigent mentally ill persons are placed in immigration detention and ordered deported from the United States every day. They have no right to a free lawyer nor to a court-appointed representative to speak on their behalf. Many have stories like Xiu Ping Jaing: an immigrant who fled human rights abuse in her home country only to be caught in a system dubbed by one expert the “American gulag.”
