Thank you Kim. These FOIA-type documents are indeed revealing.

My son was injured by years of prescribed psych drug use. Ten years lost. He hyperbolically tapered off everything using The Maudsley’s Deprescribing Guidelines by Dr Mark Horowitz and Dr David Taylor. He also used a therapudic ketogenic diet to stabilise from Metabolic Mind website. Finally using ibogaine to reset the damaged nervous system. He is now piecing his life back together after medication polypharmacy and diagnosis cascade. He is free now.

I am so glad to hear your son is on the healing journey. Too many stories like your son's experiencing polypharmacy and diagnosis cascade. So much for helping patients!!!

Kim, your experience is heart breaking. Unfortunately, most of society don’t believe the horrors that occur behind the scenes, which just adds to the overwhelming frustration of the success of the propaganda machine. I’m injured from Pfizer’s covid shot so I know what you are talking about. When I try and tell people what is really going on they think I get my info from fringe sources. It’s so frustrating.

Most people trust the medical system until something happens. They learn the hard way that the system. Like you and I did. I am so sorry that you are injured from the Pfizer shot. I have heard way too many stories and is heart breaking. It's why I can't stop advocating for truth and transparency.

Thank you for your commitment to the truth. We need a spotlight on these atrocities so the fog of war can clear. You were a spotlight for me and helped me understand how good people can work for bad systems and not even know.

It’s crazy that so many people didn’t see through this campaign at the time — or they thought it was justified. Shows the importance of being curious and always questioning!

So many were forced.

To keep their jobs, see sick and dying relatives, go to school, meet up with elderly family members who were frightened to do it by their ‘trusted’ doctors.

It wasn’t clear cut- authority figures convinced them.

Very true. Thankfully, we’ve had an awakening. Too bad its cost was so high.

Well done, Kim. My youngest son died of suicide four years ago September. He suffered with mental illness. Opted out of medication because he did not want to give away his mind and ability to think. His road was very difficult, but we were blessed by his presence for 10 years after his first attempt. Arbitrary Covid isolation, public masking, pushing vaccination, in my story, played some role is his final decision. We live in Williamsburg, VA, home to the first mental health institution in North America, pre-revolutionary times. Unsurprisingly, that society and culture handled mental heath issues rather naturally and as a community. Today, it's the paid who benefit, not the sufferers, not the caregivers. Thank you for your curiosity.

First of all, I am so sorry to hear about your son. It's a pain that never leaves you and something you learn to live with. It is interesting as you pointed out to see how we have handled mental health issues over the years. Just like PTSD and military veterans who at one time were given time to heal surrounded by community. Now they are pushing pills as first line. You are right about its those who make money that benefit, not the sufferers or their families. Thanks for sharing sharing your son's experience.

So sorry about the loss of your husband. And to know why it happened must be agonizing to deal with.

I do have a problem with one thing you wrote that is hard to let pass:

"Every cultural and emotional lever was pulled. And unless you dug through FOIA documents like this one… you’d never know."

We were a small minority, but still, millions of us knew. It was obvious what was going on by about March 2020. The only explanation that made sense was that it had to be a self-serving campaign by those orchestrating the insanity..

I agree that it was a small minority, but we knew without the documents. It was just proof in b/w.

Excellent piece, Kim. You’re right-the machinery stays the same. And it’s very efficient and powerful machinery. Let’s hope the larger awakening will disable the machine, maybe even dismantle it forever. ☮️
