institutions have earned their bad rep's

i've been to the institution before and believe me when i say they've earned a bad rep, since i nearly died of a drug OD, there, in my sleep, and they never even apologized, plus they lie to push drugs. they said i thought everybody was plotting against me, but it's not everybody, it's those who are for me that say tranqulizers(downers) make me take better care of myself and others. the institutions always lie to push pills. they said i had some make-believe imbalance in my brain, and stopped giving me consumer satisfaction surveys after they nearly killed me. they turned the heat off and the a/c on in my room in the middle of the winter. they fed me cherry and olive pits in my food. the list goes on and on. take it from the one in the know.

ohio extermination program

For over 20 years an organization in ohio has been researching and using technology that enables them to see and talk to people from a central location without visible equipment. it was being used before haarp or gwen were finished. This technology has been kept secret from the public, only a small group of people, including police and doctors knew about it. it has grown. as of 2012 nearly all police, firefighters and medical professionals in columbus, ohio are aware of it. most cops in the rest of the state along with indiana are also aware. maybe some doctors and nurses are in fear for their own safety and that of their families while the police and mental health professionals seem to have been advanced to their position because of their willingness to work with this organization. please read dttv.info
