When tragedy strikes – a school shooting, an assassination – a disturbing pattern emerges: a connection to behavioral health services. Yet, in the aftermath of these horrific events, crucial evidence vanishes, sealed away from public scrutiny. Diaries, manifestos, toxicology reports, and ballistic data – the very pieces needed to understand the ‘why’ – are systematically withheld.
This isn’t simply a matter of incomplete investigations. It’s a deliberate obscuring of vital links. The mother of the Sandy Hook shooter’s diary remains locked away. Portions of the Nashville school shooter’s manifesto were leaked only after years of legal battles. This secrecy fuels speculation and prevents a true understanding of the forces at play.
Often, individuals connected to the perpetrators have ties to the behavioral health industry, but these affiliations are rarely revealed. The parents of a suspect in a high-profile incident were licensed mental health “experts.” Another case involved a mother employed by a behavioral health organization that received substantial state funding. Are these coincidences, or do they point to a deeper network?
The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) plays a role, creating psychiatric profiles of offenders. However, the raw data and investigative reports are frequently kept confidential. The attempted assassination of a prominent political figure in 2023 is a stark example, with key findings remaining inaccessible to the public.
The BAU, positioned as the psychiatric arm within the FBI, focuses on psychological motives, yet rarely delivers conclusive answers in these mass casualty events. Information is released selectively, creating a carefully curated narrative. This raises unsettling questions about potential cover-ups and systemic failures within both behavioral health and law enforcement.
A troubling pattern emerges: vulnerable children become entangled in a system that prioritizes institutional preservation over safety. State mental health vendors, often operating under long-term contracts, gain trust over years, potentially shielding threats and inhibiting transparency. This network can be exploited, weaponizing developing minds.
Consider the case of a school shooter who was heavily medicated throughout his life. The behavioral health vendor responsible for his care faced no accountability, despite years of prescribing mind-altering drugs. Medical files were sealed, effectively erasing any record of potential negligence or contributing factors.
The withholding of the Nashville shooter’s manifesto for over two years is a chilling illustration of this pattern. When finally released, it sparked intense debate, particularly regarding the shooter’s psychiatric history and gender-affirming care. A landmark law was subsequently passed to require testing for therapeutic drug levels in mass shooters.
Similar connections are surfacing in other cases. An individual linked to an alleged assassin underwent psychiatric experimentation at a facility mirroring one where the Nashville shooter received care. Each incident echoes the same cycle: shock, controlled narratives, and a deliberate wall of silence.
Governments at all levels control access to the evidence, revealing only what they deem necessary and shielding the connections to psychiatric treatments. The name of a treating psychiatrist in the Sandy Hook tragedy was withheld for over a year. Disturbingly, investigators discovered potential illegal activity among first responders at the scene.
At the heart of this issue lies a powerful, billion-dollar behavioral health industry, funded by state and federal contracts and operating with limited oversight. This industry is directly influenced by Governors, Congressional Representatives, and even the Presidency, yet remains largely unaccountable to the public.
Until transparency and accountability are prioritized, until human rights are enshrined within this system, the cycle of violence will continue. The glaring ethical gaps within the behavioral health industry create a breeding ground for targeted killings and assassinations, demanding urgent and comprehensive reform.
