As I contemplate the horror in Las Vegas I wonder; is it only tragedy that unites us.  Or is it a tragedy that we are divided.

I also wonder why an important common thread always seems to be missing from every story examining the reasons for these evil acts?

What is that common thread?  Is it a political affiliation?  Is it a nationality?  Is it a certain type of weapon?  No.  None of these is the common thread.


It is the use of psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants that ties so many of these horrific events together.  In case after case the perpetrators were either taking them or they had been taking them recently.  Anyone who has ever tried to kick a drug habbit knows the depths of depression that can bring.

According to the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International, “At least 36 school shootings and/or school-related acts of violence have been committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 172 wounded and 80 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs).”

Dan Roberts of AmmoLand has compiled the following partial list:




    • Chris Fetters, age 13, killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.

    • Christopher Pittman, age 12, murdered both his grandparents while taking Zoloft.












    • Jason Hoffman (Effexor and Celexa) – school shooting in El Cajon, California










    • Gareth Christian, Vancouver, age 18, was on Paxil when he committed suicide in 2002, (Gareth’s father could not accept his son’s death and killed himself.)












Why is this common thread being hidden by the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media?  Is it because of their anti-gun narrative?  When they tell us about how many deaths by gun in America there are why don’t they mention that the over 60% of those are suicides?

The horror of this past week makes us all struggle to find a reason.  No matter what the reason, no matter what drove this person to do this terrible thing I agree with the President when he  said this was an act of pure evil.

Another question this brings to mind: I find it interesting that in twelve hours the FBI can definitively tell us the person who perpetrated the horror had no ties to ISIS yet after a year of investigation turning up no evidence they can’t tell whether or not President Trump colluded with the Russians to give Hillary a popular vote victory.
