(NaturalNews) US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan shot and killed 13 people and wounded 30 others in a violent attack at a Texas Army base this past week. He reportedly opened fire at the Fort Hood army base without any particular reason or motivation. In fact, as a psychiatrist, he had counseled many other soldiers on how to cope with the consequences of extreme violence (losing limbs, mental anguish, etc.).
As an army psychiatrist, he was also allowed to prescribe powerful psychiatric drugs to both his
patients and himself. Many
psychiatrists self-medicate, and Hasan was extremely anxious about the possibility of being sent overseas by the army, according to statements from family members (Reuters, below). Although official confirmation will probably never be made, it seems altogether likely that Hasan was treating himself with powerful psychotropic medications.
The
mainstream media, not surprisingly, has utterly failed to raise this question. But it's being raised by independent media like Prison Planet (
http://www.prisonplanet.com/was-fort-hood-killer-on-psychotropic-drugs.html), where writer Paul Joseph Watson says, "Psychiatrists have a history of 'self-medication' because of the easy access they have to
psychotropic drugs. In almost every major mass
shooting over the past two decades, since anti-depressant
drugs became popular, the killer has been on SSRI's – serotonin reuptake inhibitors."
An informative article in
The Examiner also asks the same question: Was Major Hasan on mind-altering prescription
medications when he opened fire? (
http://www.examiner.com/x-8358-Detroit-Substance-Abuse-Examiner~y2009m11d...).
Meanwhile, a study in the journal
Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics reveals that 16% of psychiatrists self-medicate (
http://www.cchrint.org/2009/11/05/was-fort-hood-psych-on-drugs/).
Given all the
psych drugs linked to such acts in previous
shootings, such a link seems not only probably, but likely.
Orlando shooter confirmed on psych drugs
It's been a busy week for violent, drug-induced outbursts in the USA. Orlando shooter Jason Rodriguez is now confirmed to have been on
psychiatric medications when he went on a shooting spree in an Orlando office building last week, killing one person and wounding five others.
In a televised interview with Fox News, the former mother-in-law of Rodriguez goes on the record saying, "He was under
medication ...for control of the brain." That
video segment is available here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_LJM2uCBQQMind-altering medications made Rodriquez "paranoid," she explains. (
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,572605,00.html)
This paranoia and acting out of
violence against others is a classic side effect of
SSRI drugs typically used to "treat" depression. These powerful, mind-altering medications have been linked to nearly every major shooting that has taken place in the United States over the last twenty years, including the Columbine, Colorado school shootings.
Listen to my hip-hop song,
SSRIs - S.S.R.Lies, which explains more:
http://www.naturalnews.com/SSRIs_S_S_R_Lies.htmlWhy the shootings will continue until the psych drugs are banned
What's clear about both the Orlando shooting and the Fort Hood shooting is that
there's a psychiatric drug connection to both. Neither of these men was acting rationally. Something "flipped a switch" in their brains. That something was almost certainly a psychiatric
drug.
Until we halt the
chemical holocaust being perpetrated against our world by the psychiatric drugging industry, we will continue to see more of these violent, drug-induced shootings take place. Count on it.
Psych drugs cause violence. And the more psych drugs are prescribed, the more violence we'll see.
According to Medwatch statistics, 63,000 people in the U.S. have committed suicide while on antidepressant drugs (that's more than
ten times the number of Americans who have died from H1N1 swine flu, by the way). (

The mainstream media absolutely refuses to tell you the truth about the link between
psychiatric drugs and violent killings, but it's the obvious connection in nearly every single shooting that's taken place in recent memory: The Virginia Tech shooting (
http://www.naturalnews.com/021798.html), the Stephen Kazmierczak Illinois shooting (Stephen Kazmierczak), the Omaha mall shooting (
http://www.naturalnews.com/022330.html), and so on.
In December, 2007, I made this public prediction:
"There will be more. I hate to be accurate about this grisly prediction, because I grieve for the families of those lost to pharmaceutically-induced violence, but the truth is that until we stop drugging our children with psychotropic drugs, the shootings are not going to stop."And indeed, there have been more. As long as these dangerous, mind-altering psychiatric drugs continue to be prescribed to patients, they will continue to drive people to violence. More innocent lives will be lost while Big Pharma pockets billions of dollars in profits from the very same drugs that are leading people to deadly violence.

holocaust. Check out the shocking videos on their website to learn more about the dangers of psychiatric medications.
