FREE Kindle eBook - Ten Days In A Mad-House
In many respects, not much has changed since 1887. More people are tortured now, many outside visible lockup. But make no mistake, the sadism continues.
The techniques have been fine-tuned and somewhat visually sanitized through the widespread use of pharmaceuticals, both overt and covert. For just the tip of the proverbial iceberg (perhaps ice-pick is more like it), check out see “Introduction To Drugs That Can Cause Cognitive Impairment”. Some of the details are hidden behind a paywall (still a bargain at only $15 a year). There are few if any “safe” drugs, but at least one can make an educated assessment on slowing the speed of death and severity of harm. There is plenty in the “free” parts of the “Introduction” article to give one at least pause, if not outright anger.
On more covert mass-drugging, note that your community's EPA Annual Water Quality Report does not have to test for what drugs are in your drinking water. Prozac, Paxil, Elavil, Xanax, Tylenol, Heroin, Methamphetamine, Fentanyl, things included with medications such as Graphene Oxide and ingredients that result in Spike Proteins, and all the rest.
Under the EPA rules, it's ok to douse your food with really nasty stuff, and if it falls off the plant and gets into the drinking water, some testing with dubious “safety standards” might occur. When those “high standards” cause problems, well, there's always prison and psychiatric facilities.

From the Free Booksy email list, a FREE Kindle eBook, “Ten Days In A Mad-House: The Original 1887 Edition (Nellie Bly's Experience on Blackwell's Island)” by Nellie Bly.
The "Free" part should be good for at least all of today, Saturday, March 18, 2023. But whether today or tomorrow, double-check and make sure the price is still in fact FREE.
From the Publisher's description:
Ten Days in a Mad-House is a book by American journalist Nellie Bly. It was initially published as a series of articles for the New York World; Bly later compiled the articles into a book, being published by Ian L. Munro in New York City in 1887.
The book was based on articles written while Bly was on an undercover assignment for the New York World, feigning insanity at a women's boarding house, so as to be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. She then investigated the reports of brutality and neglect at the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island (now called Roosevelt Island).
The book received acclaim from critics at the time. The combination of her reportage and the release of her content brought her fame and led to a grand jury investigation and financial increase in the Department of Public Charities and Corrections.
