Care Courts is Medical Enslavement!

Our California Democratic Party has found its own way to create fear and to bring people out to the polls.  Just as the Republicans talk about crime, immigration, and abortion, the California Democrats are now running entirely on the doctrine of mental health.  A large slice of our population is to be sacrificed for drugging, internment, and regular auditing via cell phone.  And another large population slice is to be designated as carers for these deemed unable to help themselves and unworthy of living autonomus lives.  This not only soaks up a great deal of surplus labor in both groups, these mental health and social workers will show up to vote. And no one seems to care that this is enabling familial child abusers.

Governor Gavin Newsom is pushing through his Care Courts legislation, Umberg  SB-1338, special courts to subject the unhoused to involuntary psychiatric procedures and internment, and to subject them to conservatorship if they do not cooperate with a "treatment plan".

This focus on mental health and coercion has been spearheaded by Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who himself designated his 13yo daughter as scapegoat and put her into the psychiatric system and into an out of state institution. In the vast majority of cases, people who end up as fodder for the mental health system were tracked into that by the family. Even if they are not talking to doctors until they are an adult, in the vast majority of cases they were set up for this by the family.

Now as soon as Steinberg's juvenile daughter had contact with the mental health system, this should have triggered Mandatory Reporting and a Child Protective Services intestigation. But there is a problem, while the doctors in public practice do adhere to mandatory reporting, with the doctors in private practice it is a different story. A judge would have authority over the parents, but a mental health therapist will have no authority over the parents. He or she has been hired by the parents. So even though they have no authority, they take the postion that they know what is best and that if there is any problem they will mediate with the parents. So yes if you hire these kinds of doctors, they know their position and they know who they are working for. They are indeed a Fix My Kid Service and they will not ever do anything to direct suspicion towards the parents, even though this is in complete defiance of Mandatory Reporting.

Now we don't know what happened with Darrell Steinberg's daughter, but we do know that today at the age of 27, she believes that she has a mental illness, "bipolar".  And she believes that this has objective reality, that she has a bad brain, a brain chemical imbalance, even though there is no actually evidence to support this. And so the parents need to act as though "bipolar" has objective reality, because this is what exonerates them. And the system needs bipolar to have objective reality, because with the way schizophrenia has been conceived, it is hard to imagine it in an adolescent.  As one is subjected to auditing and neurotoxins, bipolar provides an explanaiton for the sustained effects. And the system also needs autism, because with the way bipolar and schizophrenia are conceived, it is hard to imagine them in a pre-adolescent child. What really seems to drive these cases are identity conflicts between parent and child, and it is also just because some parents need to find in their child the locus of Original Sin. And in some cases the parents will have a religious community backing them up.

Care Courts is also being championed by State Senator and co-author Susan Eggman, whose family also designated someone as scapegoat, Susan's Aunt Barbara. Eggman says that Barbara's mental health issues "drove her onto the street." Well this just about has to be over family conflict issues. And Eggman says that she "refused all of their efforts when they tried to help." Well this again is over family identity conflict. The idea of "mental health issues" is just how they wrote her off and then seemingly leaving her to die either unhoused or institutionalized. And it seems that Eggman has built her entire adult career out of targetting the family scapegoats.

Darrel Steinberg has centered his entire political career on mental health, and he has set up a mental health institute, headed by Thomas Insel.  Insel always explains that he is Gavin Newsom's mental health advisor. Insel seems to want everyone to be regulated by chemical mood alterants.  And he has medications which produce the euphoria of sex, and he promotes LSD, all in the name of mental health.  He also has a startup company, Mindstrong, which will have people using their cell phones to, while medicated, check in with their therapist for auditing.

And no one seems to know how to answer this neoliberal Democrat message, because the pitch is that they are helping the helpless.  And so at the state level now, California has come very close to being a one party state, even though our California Democratic Party is siding with medical child abusers.

As advanced industrial and information technology has decimated the demand for labor, we have designated a large slice of the population as suitable for internment and drugging, turning poverty and homelessness into mental illness.  And we have designated another slice as the caretakers, mental health and social workers.  And as these vote, the Democratic Party and its pro-medical child abuse mental health doctrine goes unchallenged.
