New Obama HHS recommendations: "See a shrink, lose your rights."

Leave it to this criminal executive branch to weaponize mental health in it's never-ending crusade to disarm the US citizenry. As I citizen I can in no way have faith in a attorney general who is clearly compromised by the gunwalker ("fast and furious" scandal), an IRS that is used to harass political opposition voices, and an NSA that has abrogated the fourth amendment of the constitution. Now this chicago gangster and his liberty despising cronies wish to recruit by fiat the woefully underfunded mental health system of this country to further a political agenda that has nothing to do with actually helping citizens who suffer mental ill-health. Where will the expansion of computerized databases that constantly compute the program of systematic exclusion and disenfranchisment of citizens from their rights end? Eventually such "functionality creep" will be applied to the political and ownership classes themselves with the end result being that no one is "sane enough" to hold public office, drive a school bus, operate heavy machinery, work in a hospital, etc. much less exercise their second amendment rights.


If a citizen is prohibited from possessing firearms (over and against the explicit language of "shall not be infringed") because of an ever-expanding and all-inclusive definition of mental ill-health, how much more so then the "urgent need" for such mental health exclusion mechanisms be imposed to prohibit persons from holding public office?

In case you haven't noticed, social trust, what little is left, is quickly evaporating in this country. It is no secret that the government of the United States does not rest on popular consent or moral legitimacy but is held together by threats of force. Obama is scraping the bottom of the barrel attempting to turn the remaining institutions ostensibly purposed with caring about human health and welfare and healing into a political crudgle of exclusion. The new Obama HHS recommendations are as cynical as they are heartless and anathema to liberty and a society that extends trust a priori.


It is a terrifying and demoralizing reality that today, in the US, there is a great impetus to reduce all institutions to one form: that of the prison. Under such conditions even the concept of "mental health" becomes unintelligible, all humans are a priori assumed to prisoners and criminals. The NSA's blanket surveillance apparatus posits as much. The diginity of humanity and the idea of the inherent goodness of human nature is under attack. If the only tool government has is a hammer all citizens start to look like nails.
