As some of you know, for years I’ve written lots of articles on the issue of the dangers of psychotropic drugs to those under the age of 25, when the brain is considered fully matured. Nearly 100% of the cases of young, mentally ill mass killers can be connected to psychotropic drugs. Nearly 100%. That’s not correlation, it’s causation. And here we go again.
“The man police say opened fire with a gun from his checked baggage at a Florida airport had a history of mental health issues — some of which followed his military service in Iraq — and was receiving psychological treatment at his current home in Alaska, his relatives said Friday after the deadly shooting. “Only thing I could tell you was when he came out of Iraq, he wasn’t feeling too good,” his uncle, Hernan Rivera, told the Bergen Record newspaper. Esteban Santiago, 26, deployed in 2010 as part of the Puerto Rico National Guard, spending a year with an engineering battalion, according to Guard spokesman Maj. Paul Dahlen.”
—-from initial news reports
Time for some math. Now age 26, Esteban Santiago had “some mental health issues” upon returning from Iraq in 2011, when he was 20 or 21. Uh, oh. What was the diagnosis, probably the usual PTSD, and what treatment did he receive? What medication was prescribed (it almost always is)? An anti-psychotic drug or an anti-depressant? We don’t know yet.
If the information on my questions is ever publically released, and it may be during his trial, dollars to doughnuts this guy was on a psychotropic drug or drugs. And once again, a young male on these drugs turns into a vicious killer. You can take it to the bank.
IT’S THE DRUGS, STUPID!!!!
Sad, but you are probably correct, but the media will never report that fact.
SSS, what is your opinion on Russian Hackers and this entire “act of war” with the election? Unless you’ve posted something and I missed it.
There is a proven treatment and cure for PTSD, and it’s not even expensive. And it’s not a drug. https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/sage/the-treatment-of-combat-trauma-in-veterans-using-eft-emotional-freedom-NkHiVVOuN6
There have been promising results with Ecstasy and counseling. Seems that the drug loosens inhibitions and allows for memories and thoughts to be confronted/processed.
Can’t report it as drugs. The money is to good.
Here ya go, SSS:
You’re welcome.
my first reactions are false flag/patsy, good candidate. check out the timing along with other recent actions coming from potus. the old guys on this site see a very sick society everywhere we look. thanks to burning platform and zero hedge we understand others see this insanity as well.
I know several people who mail their luggage ahead to the hotel or lodging rather than deal with baggage claim anyway. We will all be conditioned soon to believe that traveling is a privilege, not our right.
We’ve been being conditioned since the patriot act and the TSA came into existence. If you don’t have freedom of movement then what other inherent rights aren’t so inherent anymore? TSA=Stasi…just stupider
What we have here is another weakness in Gun Control Laws and another ex-GI. Whatever the true cause(s), the public is supposed to understand the “real” causes were that he was a GI (with typical mental problems) and that people are allowed to check in guns and ammo at an airport. Any drug induced insanity doesn’t count (yet) and God forbid any Islamic (Terrorist) beliefs could have had any negative influence whatsoever (although the American public’s rampant anti-Islam hatred could have had a profound effect). Clearly we need stricter Gun Control and Hate Laws, periodic psychological screening of all ex-GIs and wider and deeper Homeland Security monitoring of all ex-GIs. That will make people feel safer (until the next Barbaric Muslim murder spree needs to be explained away).
Esteban Santiago, the Florida shooter. Nah, nothing to do with islam. Move along.

It’s actually a combination of things. Young men are naturally aggressive, more so if black, PTSD, medications, poor mental health services, and a willfully ignorant NSA, FBI, CIA, etc that permits mass shootings to promote a gun control agenda.
Well, so far, the comments are about a cure for PTSD, plus war, a false flag op, checking luggage, gun control (satire), Islam and someone signed in as the General who is totally fucking stupid. Sigh.
Not a ringing endorsement that you idiots have the faintest fucking clue what psychotropic drugs are and what they do to the immature human brain. Which is the point of my article and the murderous havoc these drugs have wrought on America since their introduction.
But no-o-o-o-o-o-o. You have to show your ignorance and throw in some shit-for-brains comments that have nothing to do with psychotropic drugs. If you don’t know anything about the subject, just say so. Jesus Christ, how hard is that?
As I said at the beginning of my article, I’ve written about this subject before. I know what the fuck I’m talking about. Really, really know. So keep looking elsewhere for an excuse, fools. And just like Jack Nicholson’s famous line in “The Shining,” that madman might show up in your future to say, “Here’s Johnny.”
Super Slueth, for the record I’m not saying it was Project MKUltra, but it was… Good disinformation racket you got going there though.
SSS. Fuck you.
I am a physician and have taken care of about 20k patients over the past ten years. While countless have been on SSRIS, none have been violent on my care. That being said, there are reports that SSRI can cause violent or suicidal tendencies in some patients. Moreso if they have underling violent tendencies like PTSD.
People on SSRI’s usually have rather serious problems that need serious treatment and monitoring.
How have you managed to provide that to that many patients in the course of only 10 years?
I’m assuming most of them would have had to be serious enough to require multiple visits a year.
SSRI’s seem to be involved in all these shooting incidents, and who knows how many disruptive, destructive, and socially malignant behaviors and incidents that haven’t made the news as well. Is there even a common source of exhibited problems, a database, on these very dangerous drugs?
SSRI’s are not dangerous per se until you go off them uncontrolled (edit I agree with the immature brain thing). I have many family members who have taken some form of these at some point in their lives. My own sister said she had suicidal thoughts when she was on them and when she went off them. My cousin was ding dingy in the head (and still is) when she was on them. IDK if she still is, I would reckon not. Her mother had issues with them as well. Physicians prescribe them like candy cause they are paid more to do so. They are no better than street drug dealers, just “legal” so to speak. Had a friend get hooked on prescription drugs which lead to heroin which lead to her killing herself.
My question concerning this fuckstick is this: How in the fuck did he still have a CCW?, And how in the fuck was he allowed to carry or check ammo onto the plane?
Fuckin’ around with the poorly understood and delicate brain chemistry prior to brain maturity is surely not a good idea. You’re spot on with regard to that. They may not be detrimental to all but there is a clear pattern of violence connected with psychotropic drugs that cannot be denied.
Fuckin’ around with it after maturity may not be such a good idea either.
there’s nothing better than to shoot randomly in the crowd on LSD, believe me.
only raming pedestrians with a truck while drunk comes close.
There’s so much government in this it’s ridiculous.
He’d even gone to the extent of turning himself in to the FBI and was, as near as I can tell, only given four days of observation or evaluation then released without any kind of treatment or restrictions.
After the release without treatment the Police, who were apparently holding his gun which was with him when he went to the FBI, called him up and asked him to come get it.
Everyone knew he was off the deep end and no one was able to do anything about it because of deliberate government avoidance of doing anything.
This wasn’t a “false flag” but it was deliberate malfeasance at the very best and most probably passive but deliberate encouragement for some political purpose if not downright active Federal involvement.
The sort of thing that usually takes place when some kind of major gun control legislation is being proposed or about to be introduced, a pattern that has repeated itself too many times to be considered a mere coincidence.
FWIW, this was another of the almost universal “gun free zone” attacks that will probably be used to increase TSA authority, power, and restrictions this time round.
Having witnessed what combat experience can do to young men and more recently more women , we are in for some bumpy rides ! The PTSD crowd once just self medicated with Street drugs and alcholol but now the pharmaceutical industry is in the act with government because the VA likes easy fixes ! The horrors of intense combat makes you awake many times in the middle of the night , most control it and move on and go back to sleep while others need serious long term help and sadly the easy drug fix is not the answer !
Remember the schizophrenic disorder strikes in the late teens and early twenties , couple that with onset with PTSD and you got yourself a real timebomb with military training and experience . If his mind is broken there is a good possibility we as taxpayers helped break it !
The real costs of endless ridiculous wars are coming home every day now ! It’s time to end it for good by bankrupting the military industrial complex and their political minions ! They profited from the wars now they should pay the real costs in human tragedies !
Combat & combat tours today are not nearly as intense or for the same duration as past wars.Guys in WW2 were in combat zones for multiple years. PTSD existed but was not nearly as prevalent.Ditto for Korea.
While the drugs probably are a contributing factor,I believe that they are not psychologically screening these guys enough.I’d like to see them go back & compare the psych profiles of these guys w/ptsd & see if they match up.
He was given the drugs on purpose. Another false flag.

OK, now we’re getting somewhere with some cogent comments, including General, who began his response with a cogent “SSS. Fuck you.” That was very rude and hurtful. Heh.
General’s comments included mention of SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) and his prescription of same to many patients. SSRIs are the largest and most often prescribed class of antidepressants. They include Zoloft, Celexa, and the granddaddy of them all, Prozac, which was introduced to the market in 1989. By 2005, just 16 years later, antidepressants were the most prescribed class of drugs in the U.S. In 2010 alone, the number of prescriptions written for Prozac and its generic cousin fluoxetine hit 24 million!!!! And Prozac is no longer the most prescribed antidepressant. More are written for Zoloft and Celexa.
Currently in the mental health world, there is a dispute going on whether SSRIs should be used by patients with mild or even moderate cases of depression. Well, it’s about fucking time some introspection is underway. Anon hit the nail on the head with the comment about whether or not the patient taking an antidepressant or antipsychotic has a CAREGIVER (relative, friend, etc) who can watch for behavioral changes. That is a critical factor which should be a part of the attending physician’s checklist.
I was taking minuscule (about 1/10 of the starting dose for mood elavation) doses of elavil for a very short time to see how it did with severe chronic pain about 15 years ago. It took care of the pain wonderfully, but also numbed that part of my brain that realized the consequences of actions. Everything was alright… even when it really wasn’t. About 2 or 3 weeks was about 2 weeks too long to be in lala land. So I did some reading on the web…
This guy did a series of articles on psych drugs/killers a few years ago. Starting with Columbine, apparently all the mass shooters were on, or coming off of psych drugs. The site isn’t real easy to search & I have snow to shovel, but here’s a start. It’s a long one…
