Dear Rebecca, thank you for writing this story.

We are war survivors. An unconventional war, but with lies everywhere and extreme cruelty, as in a normal war.

I think it's good to be rebellious against evil, corruption, and despotism.

I have problems expressing my feelings about this. I tend to rationalize and so on, and I freeze up often. The abuse against people with any type of brain damage is one of the worst things of our time. So many people as so utterly shameless about it. Then, they complain when it happens to them. I think this is a prisoner mentality.

In general, people become child-like when they get old. Not only in behavior, but also in emotions. When there is some form of cognitive damage, people become more child-like faster, and earlier. To attack adults with neurological conditions with fear propaganda is a crime of the same kind and intensity as child abuse. And, personally, I am of the opinion that many editors, journalists and news broadcasters ought to be hanged, because their crimes are too many. Millions have suffered the killing fields of State run medicine. This is a Great Tragedy.

“Medical mistakes” are the official number three killer in the U.S. but I suspect if they were honest about it, they’d be #1. By a long shot.

Thanks for sharing your story, it's heartbreaking to hear what you and your family were put through. it's also an important reminder of the incredible nonsense going on at that time.

“Incredible nonsense” only just scratches the surface; luckily many people now understand that.
