New Research Shows Risks of Coercive Psychiatric Treatment

A new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is raising difficult but necessary questions about a practice that affects hundreds of thousands of lives each year: involuntary psychiatric hospitalization.

This equates to a 79% increase in risk of being charged with a violent crime, and almost a doubled risk of dying by suicide or overdose, in the three months following evaluation for hospitalization.

The researchers also found hospitalization often caused destabilization. It led to declines in employment and earnings, and increased use of homeless shelters. It did not lead to better outpatient care or more consistent medication use.

The Man Behind Trump’s VP Pick: It’s Worse Than You Think

While J.D. Vance has his own controversies, his close connection to billionaire Peter Thiel, who is poised to have unprecedented influence in a new Trump administration, should deeply unsettle every American who cares about freedom, privacy and reining in the surveillance state.

When I began investigating the kidnapping of children in Artyomovsk [Bakhmut] by Ukraine, I had no idea of the extent to which I would uncover trafficking on an international scale and the sordid methods used to supply children to paedophile networks and organ traffickers.

A special unit – called Bilyi Yanhol (White Angel) – has been created in the Bakhmut Police Department. Officers from the White Angel unit search for people who want to evacuate and try to convince those who do not; they are also in charge of organising evacuation transport to help people get to safe settlements several dozen kilometres away from Bakhmut or to other parts of Ukraine.

Perlinka

It is for this reason why the Charitable Fund Samaritan Ministry was founded. We came as God’s ministers in order to intervene and make a lasting impact on the lives of the lost children in Ukraine. The Fund established the Perlinka orphanage in 1999. Over 30 children were found and sheltered. Aside of that, the Fund initiated the ‘soup kitchen’ which serves meals for street children, in addition to the daily needs they give them. Likewise, precautionary campaigns are being conducted by the Fund team in schools, state orphanages and other educational institutions so as to teach moral and Christian principles and to show decent lifestyle for the welfare of the society. Moreover, the Fund conducts summer Kids and Youth camps annually.
