Retraction and apology

An STA on Hartman Unit persistently asked a patient to tell me I falsely accused her in a post on this blog, of having sex with mental patients at EMHC. The post at issue is "Sex with mental patients again and again" published July 8, 2024. I accused a couple dozen people in that article. In the post itself and in other separate posts on the blog (e.g., here, here, and here), I repeatedly promised to retract any challenged accusation against anyone willing to tell me it was untrue or unfair.

No one ever bothered to convince me or tell me directly that my accusations are untrue or unfair. People are afraid to call me, either because they know that if their bosses find out they called me they'll be in trouble, or because they think I'm crazy and thereby dangerous to talk to. Maybe I don't blame them, but I want to point out that I'm going beyond my promise in an effort to show good will. It took me months to even figure out who the Hartman STA was, and what blog post was disputed. No one I ever accused by their full name, no one I actually know, has complained to me. My articles only name people in such ways that they can identify themselves or each other. 

Nevertheless, I hereby retract any accusation that anyone ever had sex with any mental patient. I apologize to all who have not been convicted of this crime, and hereby presume it only happened once in all of history. (The perpetrator in that single instance was convicted and sent to prison.) Although I have been told by long-time staff at EMHC that a whole list of individuals should be named as perpetrators, I now realize any staff who ever told me anything like that are liars. Anyone who says the crime I was accusing a couple dozen partially identified people of is endemic at EMHC and throughout the Illinois psychiatric slave plantation system is hopelessly brain damaged and psychotic. 

I would like to know how I could have been so mistaken about this, so anyone willing to help with my re-education is welcome to connect. I would prefer to sort it out completely, so that I know for sure who all was falsely or unfairly accused, whether by me, by my sources, or both. I really do not want to falsely or unfairly accuse people!

But what I long believed was that the Illinois Department of Human Services runs institutions that effectively perpetrate sex slavery under a guise of "medical help" for mental/emotional/behavioral problems. This would be incredibly damaging to enslaved individuals, and to the social order, not to mention to respect for the law and medicine in this state. If I must stop complaining and accusing, I sure do hope that I was delusional, for the sake of the victims, and the perpetrators.

If anyone  were in fact up against a mafia-like system with many weapons, legal and illegal, the truth would be very difficult to tell, because the truth might end such a system. Slavery, sexual abuse, fraud, and denial of due process are illegal and ugly. The public would not knowingly pay their taxes for it, so the system would have to fight the truth to survive.

That system does not, after all, sell so-called "mental health services" to those who actually consume them. The consumers don't pay: only others who dislike them or find them troublesome pay.

Help me out guys, I need to know whether my complaints and accusations are accurate or completely crazy, and whether my whole point of view is just plain wrong. Maybe after all, IDHS is a fantastic, benevolent group of medical mental health geniuses, and its consumers are uniformly thankful for it and toast its health every Thanksgiving.

Right? Maybe I need to shut up instead of complaining more loudly more often.

Maybe I should tell my clients to take drugs.
