Today Tom is joined by local author Charles Ead, who wrote a Riveting and Explosive book called Snap Diagnosis. Charles is here to expose the psychiatric field and it’s abuses of power. Charles explains his story of being taken from his home against his will and having his rights taken away by the order of a psychiatrist. The book shares his story and other horror stories of men and women around the country that have faced the same injustices.
Snap Diagnosis:
As the law presently stands in a majority of states, a psychiatrist has complete authority to order an individual into custody without a warrant, without review by peers, without even seeing the person, and often without any more justification than a second-hand report that someone is behaving in an undesirable manner. Horror stories abound of men and women whose homes are invaded and who are thrown to the floor and literally dragged out their doors by police. As you will see, this same dynamic tragically played itself out in Charles' ordeal as well.

Today Tom is talking about the lying government, including the latest from CNN and the CDC in relation to the Covid hospitalization numbers and weather we are being lied to about the actual figures. He also questions why people continue to blindly comply with a government that continually lies to them.
Can CNN be objective when reporting the news?
Are the Covid 19 reports accurate?
How do we trust a government that continually lies to us?
Why aren’t more people questioning authority?
