Why do we never find out what drugs these mass murderers were taking when they committed these acts? I wonder if the Healthcare Industrial Complex is as powerful as the Military Industrial Complex. Anyone with a smattering of critical thinking skills realizes it is the drugs that trigger these people to go off the deep end and murder people. There is absolutely no reason why the authorities cannot reveal which drugs they were taking other than to protect the billions in profits for the drug companies peddling these killer drugs.
Army Admits Fort Hood Shooter Was on Psychiatric Drugs
Connection between violence and SSRI medication emerges yet again

Lt. Gen. Mark A. Milley acknowledged that Fort Hood gunman Ivan Lopez was taking psychiatric medication before the shooting, underscoring yet again the clear and consistent connection between mass shooting incidents and SSRI drugs.
VIDEO: Infowars reporters ask key questions about SSRI drugs.
“Was he on any sort of medications….SSRI’s, anti-depressants, anything of that nature,” an Infowars reporter asked Milley, to which the General responded, “He was on medications that’s correct.”
In a subsequent report, officials also admitted that Lopez had been prescribed Ambien, a sleeping pill associated with accidents and aggressive outbursts.
34-year-old Lopez, who shot dead three colleagues and injured 16 others before turning the gun on himself, returned from Iraq suffering from “mental problems,” according to officials.
The obvious link between psychiatric drugs and violent outbursts is a common theme that crops up in almost every mass shooting incident, yet the media is routinely loathe to make the connection.
After it emerged that Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis “had been treated…. by the Veterans Administration for his mental problems,” the press showed little interest in discovering what drugs Alexis had been taking. The only medication currently offered by the VA for mental problems are SSRI drugs.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales was also taking anti-depressant drugs when he massacred 16 Afghan civilians in 2012. SSRI medication, which is known to cause violent outbursts, is routinely used to treat PTSD, which goes some way to explain why there are so many stories about both active duty and returning troops carrying out acts of inexplicable violence on a regular basis.
Despite it being reported that prescription drugs were found in the apartment of ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes days after the Aurora massacre, it took nine months to find out exactly what those drugs were. Like Columbine killer Eric Harris, Holmes had been taking Zoloft, another SSRI drug linked with violent outbursts.
As the website SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades. The number of cases is staggering, but the media has completely failed to generate a national conversation about the issue due to its obsession with exploiting mass shootings to demonize the second amendment.
Pharmaceutical giants who produce drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil spend around $2.4 billion dollars a year on direct-to-consumer television advertising every year. By running negative stories about prescription drugs, networks risk losing tens of millions of dollars in ad revenue, which is undoubtedly one of the primary reasons why the connection is habitually downplayed or ignored entirely.
According to a March 12, 2014 snapshot of a listing on Craigslist, the government was looking for individuals to act as role players to participate in a “mass casualty exercise” scheduled for March 17, 18 and 19 and to be held on base at Fort Hood, TX. Contractors were to be paid $100 for their participation. Here it is;

Agree 100%. Psychotropic drugs generate billions in profits for Big Pharma, and here’s what happens with part of those profits. Hundreds of millions spent on advertising in print and broadcast media. Tens of millions funneled into the campaign coffers of people running for Congress and the presidency. Neither the media nor the politicians are willing to compromise that flow of money which is greatly beneficial to them.
Lawsuits? Not one single lawsuit involving a psychotropic drug has ever gone to trial. They’re always settled out of court, benefitting only the plaintiffs and lawyers. Put all this together, and it is only the general public which suffers.
Zolpidem (Ambien) has a “reputation” for causing amnesic sleepwalking, and occasionally sleep-driving. Originally thought to be a rare occurrence (Clinical Trials data), however once in general community use, this problem became quite well known.
A member of an interesting class of drugs – the non-benzodiazepine GABA A agonists – fast acting, and pretty short half life too. Just like Midazolam (Rohypnol), Zolpidem has been used in many “Date-Rape” incidents, and this has led to demands for much tighter control.
