New guidance has been launched to address human rights in mental healthcare

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) have together launched new guidance, entitled “Mental health, human rights and legislation: guidance and practice." The WHO has reported human rights abuses and coercive practices in mental health care, which are supported by present legislation and policies, remain too common. It has been commented that "Involuntary hospitalization and treatment, unsanitary living conditions and physical, psychological, and emotional abuse characterize many mental health services across the world." Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who is the WHO Director-General, has said “This new guidance will support countries to make the changes needed to provide quality mental health care that assists a person’s recovery and respects their dignity." >>>WHO   

The chemical imbalance theory of psychiatry has had devastating consequences

The CCHR has reported that a July 2022 University College London study has totally debunked the unproven theory that a “chemical imbalance in the brain” is the cause of depression. However the lucrative psychiatric-pharmaceutical industry has endorsed this claim as an integral part of a mass marketing campaign which has generated antidepressant sales of about $15 billion a year. This fake campaign has lead to greater than 100 million people across the world taking antidepressants each year to treat a chemical imbalance in their brains that never existed. Mass shootings and violent acts have also been linked to antidepressants. A Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) exposé, Psychiatric Drugs Create Violence & Suicide, has detailed greter than 60 mass shootings or acts of violence which have been committed by those who were taking or withdrawing from prescribed psychotropic drugs. And aside from suicide and deaths, the carnage which is caused by antidepressants includes violence, emotional numbness and addiction. Jan Eastgate, President of CCHR International has said “Slowly, the scientific community is finally acknowledging what CCHR and others have been saying for decades—that there is no medical test to confirm a mental health diagnosis, and a chemical imbalance causing mental disorder does not exist.” CCHR  

Urgent regulatory response for neurotechnologies needed

Although neurotechnologies used carefully may have potential benefits for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, depression and anxiety, there is also a great potential for abuse. Ana Nougrères, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Privacy of the United Nations, has said neurotechnologies can also be used to hack into our perceptions, innermost thoughts, emotions and even our memories. Ms. Nougrères has told the UN Human Rights Council  that rapid development of  these potent devices demands an “urgent regulatory response” which includes legal and ethical protections. She has shared that there is the risk of  harvesting people’s neurodata, which is highly personal information that is derived directly from the nervous system, for many malign causes. Neurotechnologies have the capacity to alter brain activity and even to actually artificially modify human beings. This makes neurotechnologies a serious threat to human rights and the fundamental values of privacy, dignity, and autonomy. Ms. Nougrères has said “Neurotechnology has the capacity to decode brain activity, allowing access to an individual's most intimate thoughts and emotions. Without proper safeguards, this could lead to unauthorized monitoring or even coercion. Governments, corporations, or malicious actors could exploit this access to influence personal behaviours and ideologies, fundamentally eroding personal autonomy and mental integrity." There have been many reports from targeted people across the USA and in other countries that neurotechnologies are already being used for sinister activities which have lead to ruined careers, destroyed relationships, legal problems, accidents, emotional issues, erroneous psychiatric diagnoses, health issues, social isolation, and overall ruined lives of innocent targeted people. The criminal agents doing this claim there's no laws regulating the use of neurotechnologies at this time, and yet it seems there are laws against torturing people as they are sadistically doing with intent. There are also of course serious ethical issues to be raised about these activities.

US gov is said to have spent trillions of dollars for an underground city for the very wealthy

Alex Oliveira has reported for the New York Post that a former Bush White House official says the US federal government has secretly invested trillions of dollars to build an underground network of cities where the very wealthy and powerful can live if a catastrophic near extinction event occurs. The informant, 74 year old Catherine Fitts, says about 170 bunkers like this have been built across the USA since 1998. She discussed this preparation for a catastrophe for a select group of wealthy elitists to Tucker Carlson during a recent interview. Fitts was assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the administration of President George W. Bush. This $21 trillion underground city paid for with taxpayer money is reported to be connected by an elaborate underground transportation system. These lavish doomsday bunkers are also meant for use for secret government operations. This all paints a horrifying picture wherein the most powerful politicians and their extremely wealthy supporters could be calmly planning steak and lobster dinners with fine French wines for their first evening down below if a nuclear war occurs, while the remainder of the people across the USA and elsewhere are becoming hysterical about being confronted with certain death if this occurs.  NY Post 

The United Nations reports the world is on fire

It has been reported by the United Nations that in 2025, 305 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian aid due to crises which are escalating. Displacement, hunger and destruction are at levels never seen before due to conflict and climate change. Ongoing wars in Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine have been causing massive displacements and civilian casualties. In mid-2024, greater than 123 million people had been displaced forcibly in association with gross violations of international humanitarian law. Food insecurity has been increasing, with 280 million people being confronted with acute hunger. And famine conditions have been getting worse in Gaza, Sudan, South Sudan, and Haiti, And with the world nearing 1.5°C warming there have been severe natural disasters. UN 

Sexual exploitation & sexual abuse must be stopped

Sexual exploitation and sexual abuse are filthy crimes that seriously undermine the wellbeing of victims while shattering their sense of self worth. The lives of victims of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse are literally at risk from physical abuse, violent rape, AIDs and other deadly infectious diseases, murder by the assailants when they're afraid their victims will turn them in to the authorities, and suicide due to the associated sense of shame. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that "Sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) represents a fundamental failure of protection." SEA is defined as  "Actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another." 

The Global Fund lists examples of sexual exploitation which include:

Offering money, gifts or access to services in exchange for sex acts.

Withholding or threatening to withhold services, or blackmailing in exchange for sex acts.

Providing services in exchange for sex acts.

Awarding a job in exchange for a sex act, or requiring a person to perform sex acts in order to keep and maintain a position of employment.

Sexual exploitation and sexual abuse are horrific crimes. If you are a victim of these crimes or you suspect someone you care about is be careful and file appropriate reports with your District Attorney.

Mental Health is a basic human right

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that "Mental health is a basic human right for all people." Every person has an inherent deserving right to the highest possible standard of mental health. This encompasses the "right to available, accessible, acceptable and good quality care; and the right to liberty, independence and inclusion in the community." If someone suffers from a mental health condition this should not be used as a reason to deprive that person of their human rights or to exclude them from decisions which have to be made about their own health. Yet, people who suffer from mental health conditions around the world experience a wide range of human rights violations.  Among these are coercive practices including involuntary admission and treatment along with seclusion and restraint. It is also common for people to be excluded from daily community activities, to be confronted with discrimination, denied basic rights necessary for healthy survival which encompass food and shelter, and even to be prohibited from voting or getting married. Initiatives must be made to create public awareness of these problems while searching for ways to reform mental healthcare. In consideration that psychiatry has proven again and again to be a discipline of chronic quackery and tyrannical abuse there should be a revolution in mental healthcare via the total abolition of psychiatry with holistic non-psychiatric practices to replace psychiatry. The psychiatrists themselves should be prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.   

Supreme Court of Spain upholds CCHRs rights to expose psychiatric abuse

 On July 12, 2024, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International won a landmark case against an attempt to suppress its freedom of speech dealing with psychiatric abuse and patients’ rights in Spain. After a long judicial battle, a judgment was secured by CCHR International and CCHR Spain from the Supreme Court of Spain which resulted in a significant defeat for the Spanish Society of Psychiatry (SEP) which had claimed that CCHR’s publications, documentaries and websites in the U.S. and in Spain served to harm their “honor.” The Supreme Court of Spain rejected this and has affirmed that CCHR’s materials “deal with a matter of undoubted general interest,” are “directly connected to the public debate in a democratic society,” while also contributing to the “social debate on psychiatry.”>>>CCHR    

New Zealand investigation uncovers massive childhood psychiatric torture

 An inquiry in New Zealand which uncovered 200,000 children and vulnerable adults tortured in psychiatric and behavioral institutions has mirrored similar abuses which have been uncovered in the United States. The New Zealand inquiry revealed horrible abuses in psychiatric, behavioral, and disability institutions have been going on for decades.  A nightmare of people being tortured under the guise of mental health care has surfaced. The abuses have included chemical restraints, sexual assault, electric shocks, medical experimentation, starvation, beatings, and sterilization. NZ Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has told survivors "The State was supposed to care for you – but instead many of you were subjected to the most horrendous physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse. People in positions of authority who you should have been able to trust – failed you in the worst possible way. When you tried to speak up, those same people turned a blind eye, they covered it up, and they prevented you from seeking justice for far too long. You are heard and you are believed.”>>>CCHR    

United Nations wants action on Killer Robots

Human Rights Watch has reported United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has been encouraging negotiations on a new international treaty dealing with lethal autonomous weapons, or killer robots. Killer robots use sensor processing instead of human inputs to select targets to attack. This is a very dangerous development for mankind. Guterres wants an international treaty “to prohibit weapons systems that function without human control or oversight and that cannot be used in compliance with international humanitarian law.” Killer robots autonomously determine when, where or against what force is applied.  The secretary-general of the United Nations has said “time is running out for the international community to take preventative action on this issue,” and has reaffirmed “the need to act urgently to preserve human control over the use of force.”>>>Human Rights Watch

Restrictions on abortions in the USA have created a human rights crisis

Amnesty International has reported people who are of reproductive age across the United States are being confronted with "ongoing, confusing changes to their ability to access abortion." In the aftermath of the Dobbs decision (2022) devastating new anti-abortion laws have emerged across the country with abortions now completely or nearly completely banned in 21 states. The US Supreme Court Dobbs decision states that the right to an abortion is not confered by the Constitution. This decision overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) which had ruled the right to an abortion was basically protected by the Constitution. Pregnant women are now being forced to give birth against their desires. International human rights law takes the position that decisions about your body should be yours alone. It is a violation of a persons human rights to force that person to continue with an unwanted pregnancy. This human rights disaster can only be confronted humanely with federal protection of the right to an abortion.>>>Amnesty International   

Four Winds psychiatric hospitals in New York state hit with sexual abuse allegations

Abuse by psychiatrists is a consistent reality in a corrupt and sadistic society which has allowed these quacks to gain a monopoly on what they actually insist is mental healthcare. By allowing psychiatrsits to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year for their tyrannical quackery they have become unusually arrrogant to the point of being delusional about their insistence their brutally abusive interventions are helping innocent men, women and children who are unfortunate enough to be designated as their patients. All along their victims generally end up suffering on the fringes of society because of the psychiatrists, not because of mental illness as alleged. These victims are usually intelligent, creative, ambitious  and compassionate people who would have gone to the top in their careers and personally and financially in society if not for the psychiatrists. 

The most recent reported cases of alleged serious psychiatric abuse in New York state have been reported on by WRGB Albany. Many lawsuits which have alleged sexual abuse have been filed against Four Winds psychiatric hospital in Westchester County, which has locations in Katonah and Saratoga Springs. The names of the alleged victims have been redacted. Amber Long, a lawyer who represents the alleged victims has said the alleged victims were minors when the abuses occurred. Amber has said “When you put yourself in the place of these kids, it’s terrifying. They have no power in places like these, and they’re so helpless at the hands of these abusers, and clearly the abusers knew that and took advantage of it.”

The lawsuits include allegations that employees groped patients’ breasts while they were in the shower, forced a plaintiff  to perform oral sex, and than raped the patient. All along the kids caught in this nightmare were told nobody would believe them if they turned them in and they would just be seen as being crazy with a harder time ever being released. These kids are said to have also been overmedicated. 

The scenes of sexual abuse portrayed by the kids trapped in these facilities are shocking. It's professionals among the so called "Best & Brightest" in our society who have been hit with these credible allegations of filthy sexual abuse of children as young as 6 years old. This is a consistent theme in dealing with the psychiatric system. Psychiatry itself is an inherently destructive discipline of chronic abuse which should be permanently abolished. And the psychiatrists should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity with every penny of their assets seized and distributed to their victims.

Poverty is at critical levels

The World Bank Group has reported a series of recent crises and shocks across the world have caused a slowdown in the realization of global poverty reduction. It is estimated that at this time one in ten people worldwide are living in extreme poverty. These suffering people lack an adequate income and livelihood along with a lack of dignity and hope. Poor economic growth, the COVID-19 pandemic, conflict and severe weather associated shocks have lead to a dramatic slowdown in poverty reduction. It has been estimated that over 800 million people worldwide live in extreme poverty and struggle to survive on less than $3 per day. Shared prosperity is also an important marker for development. Progress in decreasing the prosperity gap has also been slowed. There is a lack of opportunities for socioeconomic mobility with income inequality which undermines the prospects for inclusive growth and poverty reduction. People suffering in poverty have inadequate access to healthcare, clean water, good nutrition and safe housing.  There are higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and severe mental illness in the poor. Poverty also increases vulnerability to poor working conditions, environmental hazards and violence. Poverty kills the human spirit and takes human lives at a premature and rapid rate. Poverty is a critical issue which must be confronted more aggressively. 

A common denominator in many mass shootings is psychotropic drugs

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights reports taking psychotropic drugs is like playing Russian Roulette. The association between these toxic drugs and mass shootings generally is not covered in the syndicated press. In a report which has been released by CCHR International psychotropic drugs have been found to be a common denominator in many mass shootings. Out of about 410 psychiatric drug warnings, 27 have warned of violence, mania, psychosis, hostility, aggression or homicidal ideation and about 49 have warned of self-harm or suicide/suicidal ideation.  It has been clear that acts of violence and suicide continue to increase along with the increase in the prescription of psychotropic drugs. There is no requirement for law enforcement to investigate or report on prescribed drugs being linked to violence. Over the years there have been many high profile acts of senseless violence confirmed as being committed by individuals taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs. The father of the school mass shooters, Eric Harris who was the infamous ringleader at Columbine, was taking an antidepressant Luvox when he and a friend killed 13 students. Nikolas Cruz, who killed 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was taking prescribed psych meds.  When Stephen Paddock shot dead 58 people at a Las Vegas country music festival he was was taking valium. This is a profit driven death market. The psychiatric-pharmaceutical drug industry pulls in about $35 billion a year in the United States alone. And the antipsychotic drugs net the global pharmaceutical industry about $14.6 billion annually. CCHR


Is too much social networking a human rights abuse?

That the only other place I could at this time publish this on is the very platforms I’m raising questions about is unreal! In the absence of proper mandated verification of the authenticity of individuals & firms it appears it’s possible most of the people in the USA & worldwide could be spending most of their time not actually doing anything or getting anyplace with their personal, career & financial interests while a very few people who originated social networking are enjoying lives of unusual extravagance with unusual amounts of wealth from all of this. If someone is sincere about a desire to nurture worthwhile relationships & business connections online & yet they’re inundated with dummy accounts in their daily contacts than they could turn around years later & realize they weren’t actually in touch with anyone real & they weren’t working on anything with a viable future to enhance their career & financial interests. And so as the billionaire tech sector becomes wealthier & wealthier by the second most of the people who have laid the groundwork for this wealth due to their online activities are falling into a quicksand of real despair due to a lack of any evolving worthwhile personal relations & career & financial opportunities! And yet they have spent significant portions of their lives being mesmerized into believing social networking is taking every aspect of their lives to new heights! This means the condition of human existence is now in a very dark place while only a few people thrive & actually have enough money to get out there & enjoy really living their lives instead of living in a world of delusional constructs & misperceptions!
