I was wrong about Lindsay Clancy. Here's why I changed my mind. She was never diagnosed with postpartum depression or psychosis. She was not on 13 medications at once. She was not "hearing voices." She was not abandoned by her family. She was diagnosed with a mood disorder - never psychosis - and went to a variety of doctors who all prescribed different medications, which she took unreliably and not simultaneously. She only heard a voice one time - and that was right before she killed her kids. Extremely atypical for psychosis. She carefully planned her children's murders down to the minute. She researched the distance of a restaurant she'd ask Patrick to go to. Added on a last-minute errand before he left. Calmly answered his phone call in the middle of her crime. Brought her children down to the basement one by one, overpowering their resistance and killing them slowly. It does seem like she had support from her family. She may have still been overwhelmed, but it's not true that all of her cries for help went unanswered. I originally placed too much blame on the many SSRIs she was prescribed. Is it still possible these SSRIs had a negative effect? Absolutely. But the case that these drove her into a psychotic episode is weak. “According to U.S. HHS Child Maltreatment data, mothers account for roughly 70% of child maltreatment fatalities involving a single parent, compared with roughly 30% involving a father, when parent-plus-nonparent cases are included and cases involving both parents are excluded. And interestingly, the “70% mothers / 30% fathers” finding is remarkably persistent across the years, rather than being a phenomenon confined to one particular period” - ChatGPT Feminist Taxonomies of Lindsey Clancy If I am to be born as a woman, life should not be continued If I am to mature as a woman, I should not marry If I am to have sex as a woman, I should not be made pregnant If I am to be made pregnant as a woman, I should not give birth to my child If I am to give birth to my child as a woman, my child should not live
When the Fog Begins to Lift If you feel as though the world is going crazy, you’re not imagining things. Over the past decade, a media-driven “woke” movement gripped Western societies, creating what Michael Shellenberger calls “mass psychosis.” He argues that Democrats and media figures labeled opponents of DEI, racial quotas, and open borders as far-right—not because those people had changed, but because the political left had moved dramatically further left on cultural issues. Evidence continues to support this view. U.S. General Social Survey data suggests that center- and right-leaning opinions have remained relatively stable since the early 2000s, while left-wing views have shifted substantially. Meanwhile, publications such as *The New York Times* and *The Washington Post* sharply increased their use of terms like “racist” and “white privilege” after 2012. Shellenberger writes: “The media did this. The mass brainwashing came from college-educated elites in control of the most powerful propaganda machine in world history. These elites convinced the public that the West had grown more racist than ever, a blatant contradiction of the evidence. While the public was distracted by manufactured culture wars, governments exploited the chaos to consolidate power. Authoritarianism, spiraling debt, and economic devastation were the crippling costs of this deception.” He describes the political consequences just as bluntly: “By the time we got to 2016, Democrats had become completely unhinged. They made everything political, hunted heretics, and weaponized the government—three core characteristics of totalitarianism.” The fallout has been severe. Institutions lie in ruins, public trust has collapsed, and communities remain deeply divided. This was not simply a political miscalculation. It was ideological warfare, designed to divide and control. As the fog begins to lift, one question remains: Have we learned enough to resist the next wave of fearmongering and manipulation—or will we once again accept the same tactics from new faces?
Sweden’s justice system is suffering from a severe psychosis. Natalie warned others about a sex offender—now she’s been convicted of defamation. As if that weren’t enough, she’s also been ordered to pay the sex offender 30,000 SEK in damages (aprox €2,600 / $3,000) .

London had to open a cannabis psychosis clinic. These will now spread across the US as ERs fill up. Wait until the public figure out the link to random acts of extreme violence. We were sold a lemon here, I’m afraid. 💨 https://t.co/G57nhoTAt2 #Cannabis #Psychosis #PublicHealth #GB #US
A coroner concluded that failures in the medical care of 32-year-old Tom Parsons, who died from complications related to blood clots after being hospitalized for psychosis, "materially contributed" to his death, highlighting a lack of administration of prescribed blood-thinning injections and insufficient involvement of his family and carers in his treatment. #Healthcare #PatientSafety #MentalHealth #GB
A coroner stated that a 32-year-old man's death was partly due to a failure in his hospital care, specifically the withholding of prescribed blood-thinning injections for 14 days due to safety concerns, which contributed to complications from blood clots following his admission for psychosis. #Healthcare #PatientRights #MentalHealth #GB
Der mutmaßliche Amokfahrer von Leipzig, Jeffrey K., hatte bereits im April Hinweise auf seine geplante Tat gegeben, indem er seiner Ehefrau in einem Chat mitteilte, es sei lange kein Auto mehr in eine Menschenmenge gefahren, während seine psychische Verfassung und vorherige Drohungen gegen seine Familie bereits Anlass zur Besorgnis gegeben hatten. #LeipzigIncident #MentalHealthAwareness #Psychosis
