Activists Sheila Matthews and Amy Miller Detail Legislative Win on Tennessee Bill to Help Determine Link Between Mental Health Drugs and Mass Shooters

Sheila Matthews, co-founder of the national non-profit parent organization AbleChild, and activist Amy Miller with the Reform Pharma initiative of Children’s Health Defense, detailed the progress a bill that would help determine the link between Big Pharma drugs and mass shooters has made in the Tennessee General Assembly since its introduction.

The bill, SB 2937/HB 2933, is focused on reforming the process medical examiner’s offices must follow in terms of testing for psychiatric and psychotropic drugs when performing autopsies on the bodies of mass shooters.

The legislation, sponsored by State Representative Mary Littleton (R-Dickson) and State Senator Rusty Crowe (R-Johnson City), was essentially written by Matthews, Miller, and activist Bernadette Pajer.

Matthews said the bill was stalled for a short period of time as lawmakers decided to cut a portion of the bill dealing with behavioral health accountability – specifically the prohibition of police working with behavioral health vendors in an investigation directly related to a behavioral health incident involving a mass shooting or suicide.

“The behavioral health accountability section of the bill was taken out because the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was really concerned about tying the police hands with working with the behavioral health vendors,” Matthews explained on Wednesday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show.

“However, we agreed on new language that would make sure that the behavioral health industry isn’t unduly influencing the investigators and that when there’s a clear, compelling interest that we can go to the courts to ascertain certain materials that are protected by HIPAA. That’s huge,” Matthews added.

Matthews went on to say that the legislation was initially mischaracterized by Crowe as an “anti-police bill” due to the language that has since been removed from the bill.

“I think his fear was that he thought this was an anti-police bill, which is the farthest thing from it,” Matthews said. “I think that their concern was that it would prohibit police officers from contacting mental health providers and that was not our intent of the bill at all. It was to make sure that they had a separation and were able to investigate and not be held accountable for what the behavioral health industry is doing.”

Miller added, “It was perceived, I think, as removing a tool from the toolbox, but it was a bad tool.”

Matthews said Crowe committed to adding the updated language to the bill as an amendment after having a brief conversation with the state lawmaker at the state Capitol on Wednesday.

The bill will be heard in the Senate Health and Welfare Committee and the House Health Subcommittee next week.

In regards to the conversation surrounding the mental health industry, Miller said it is “crucial” for the public to be aware of the “black box warning” effects psychiatric and psychotropic drugs may inflict on individuals.

“The other thing that’s really crucial is the importance of the discussion around it and getting people not just aware, but actionable in understanding the true, either intended or unintended, consequences of behavioral health and how they’re just flooding money towards this industry without asking the questions. This question to me, going back to the black box warning, it is right in front of our face,” Miller said.

    The meaning of the expression, “correlation is not necessarily causation,” is that there may be a correlation between two phenomena, but that doesn’t prove one caused the other. Instead of A causing B, B may cause A, or both may be caused by a third phenomenon, or a third and a fourth phenomenon.
    For example, the more mentally alert and active residents in a nursing home drink coffee. Does coffee keep them that way, or is it just that confused residents don’t like coffee, or don’t know what coffee is?
    In the case of the TWO recent church shootings — in Nashville and Houston — conservatives are making a Herculean effort to ignore the vast numbers of children who have been tortured using techniques based on Satanic ritual abuse (aka MK Ultra).
    Since Reinhard Gehlen and Otto Skorzeny created the CIA out of the Nasi-infiltrated OSS in 1947, and beginning with the work of Wilhelm Reich, the agency has developed trauma-based mind control (psychosexual mind control) to a very advanced degree. The CIA has traumatized and programmed millions of children around the world. Every illegal migrant charging the border has been MK-Ultraed by the CIA in his home country.
    The CIA is part of the Luciferian Brotherhood, and it is behind the mafia and the cartels,. Others in the Brotherhood are the Roman Catholic Church, the Mormon Church, the Southern Baptist Church, Assembly of God, Jehova’s Witnesses, the Church of Scientology, and several other Protestant denominations.
    Mental illness isn’t a disease: it is a SYMPTOM of trauma-based mind control. When people show SYMPTOMS of mental illness, they go to psychologists who work with the Brotherhood. Many psychologists themselves are pedophiles and Satanists — just read Fiona Barnett’s writings.
    Cathy O’Brien, Fiona Barnett, Susan Ford, Anekke Lucas — how many survivors have to tell their stories before people listen to them?
