US Veterans Forcibly Sequestered in Mental Hospitals is Indefinite DetentionSusanne Posel, Contributor John Whitehead, attorney for the Rutherford Institute and Raub has stated that since the former Marines detention case, he has received numerous statementsfrom other veterans who are being discriminated against. The latest trend is to have our former US service men and women declared mentally ill and detained against their will. Just as Raub was forcibly detained in a mental ward, another veteranhas been taken without charge or criminal activity. His firearms were confiscated and he was given a court date. In a studypublished in the Archives of Internal Medicine, collaborating with the VA Medical Center, an estimated one third of veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq were determined to be mentally or psychologically ill. Touting post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), more than half of returning veterans are considered to be suffering from a war-related mental disorder. The authors of the study explain: Our results signal a need for improvements in the primary prevention of military service-related mental health disorders, particularly among our youngest service members because they are young, they are more likely to be of lower rank and more likely to have greater combat exposure than their older active-duty counterparts. Most recently is the inception of oppositional defiance disorder(ODD) which is described as a mental disease wherein free thinkers, non-conformists, civil disobedience supporters, and those who question authority are perceived as being hostile toward the government are labeled mentally ill. Psychiatrics claimthat sufferers have a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures that persists for at least 6 months, which includes: Persistent stubbornness The RAND Corporation assertsthat the cost of caring for mentally ill veterans was more than $12 billion in 2007. Katherine Watkins, senior natural scientist for RAND said: With some changes, the VA could provide even better and more cost-effective care for the nations veterans, as well as serve as a model for other health care systems. The RAND Corporation paints US veterans as dangerous because of the degree to which they are mentally affected by their service exposure to war and war-like conditions. The globalist think-tank says veterans are suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression, and substance use disorders. Doctors have classifiedChronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) as an incurable brain disease that soldiers returning from war suffer from. After having injured the brain during battle, soldiers are being touted as displaying large bursts of anger and depression while having their vital motor skills and memory impacted. Symptoms of CTE are recognized as memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, and, eventually, progressive dementia. US veterans, being diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are being trackedby the Department of Defense (DoD) because they may display personality changes that could come on without warning and effect their ability to acclimate back into American society. Researchers are claiming that even mild TBI can develop into CTE, which will cause veterans to possibly become a danger to themselves and those around them. In 2009, the Office of Intelligence and Analysis published a report entitled Rightwing Extremism,wherein domestic extremists were proposed to be the newest and most dangerous threat to the US since al-Qaeda. While admitting that they did not have definitive proof that: domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, [however] rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment. The DHS wanted to instill the ideathat veterans were being recruited to become right-wing extremists upon return from Iraq and Afghanistan. Janet Napolitano intimated that military veterans could become instruments of domestic terror. When Napolitanos comments were met with public distain, the DHS amended their assertion that extremist groups were highly-marked; but rather it was a lone wolf type that would carry out the biggest act of domestic terrorism. Mainstream mediahas spun the propaganda perfectly by asserting that the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks. A plan is unfolding that connects US veterans to the probability of committing horrendous acts of violence. The MSM provides the social dialogue while various federal agencies in collaboration with the US Army are using a medical condition to justify the coming accusations. We have seen this before. In May of this year, Federal Court Judge Katherine Forrestorderedthat the US military could not arbitrarily imprison Americans based on alleged terrorist activity in regard to the indefinite detention clause in the NDAA. Although Obamas lawyers appealed the ruling, the decision still stands. However, committing an individual to a mental hospital is not illegal. This may be why we are seeing our US veterans being targeted, called mentally ill, and forcibly removed from their homes. Coinciding with the growing number of mentally ill US veterans we are seeing the removal of their firearms and right to even own firearms. This is another scheme the Obama administration is implementing to set the stage for their complete takeover of America after marital law is declared.
