People are being implanted, tortured, and electronically controlled. These news articles are about people who KNOW that they have been implanted. Rather than admit that this is happening, the psychiatrists and the media simply label these victims as 'mentally ill' [e.g. 'paranoid schizophrenic']. {For those of you who are unfamiliar with Charles Schlund, from Glendale, AZ, do a Google search of these terms: 'Schlund' + 'Affidavit'} *This incident happened just last month! ++++++ Copyright 2002 San Antonio Express-News San Antonio Express-News September 6, 2002, Friday , STATE SECTION: METRO / SOUTH TEXAS; Pg. 2B Patient arrested after flare gun scare at hospital By Katherine Leal Unmuth A man at Audie Murphy VA Hospital shot two staffers with a flare gun, then holed up in a second-floor office for more than an hour Thursday before police negotiators talked him out. The man arrived around 11:30 a.m. at the hospital's mental health unit, where he shot a social worker and a psychiatrist with an orange plastic flare gun. The two women were not seriously injured. Police arrested a veteran who was being treated at the hospital for schizophrenia. His name was not immediately released. Hospital workers reported that the attacker told them he was upset that they had implanted a "microchip" inside him. "He expressed that he felt that we had implanted something in his body that made him hear voices and he wanted it taken out," said Jose Coronado, director of the South Texas Veterans Health System. Coronado also said the man had stopped taking his medication. The man first entered the office of social worker Yvette Huerta and shot her in her left arm and chest, police said. "We saw sparks coming out of the office and thought a computer was malfunctioning," said Iva Timmerman, a psychiatrist and 15-year veteran of the hospital who also was injured in the incident. "Then we saw him following her." As Timmerman and others tried to get to cover, she said, the man shot her from behind. She said it felt like a "racquetball bouncing off my shoulder." "He was firing at people," she added. "He was picking and firing. He chose people." Police evacuated about 30 people, including patients and employees, from the west wing of the building in the 7400 block of Merton Minter. The rest of the hospital remained open, Coronado said. Timmerman said schizophrenics who stop taking their medication may withdraw from society or become paranoid. Some can become violent. "We can't predict violence," she said. "A lot of people threaten violence and never carry it out." Police spokesman Sgt. Gabe Trevino applauded the negotiators for defusing a situation that could have developed into a much longer standoff. kunmuth@express-news.net.

He believed doctors put an implant behind his ear to monitor his thoughts." Telegraph Herald (Dubuque, IA) October 7, 2001 Sunday SECTION: Pg. A6 LENGTH: 1499 words HEADLINE: Mental-health crises can get police under the gun; Bullets: Man's death raises questions on whether officers are trained to deal with unstable people BYLINE: BEN DOBBIN DATELINE: IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. BODY: Ron Kessler walked along the suburban highway, clutching a bunch of wildflowers in one hand and a claw hammer in the other. As he went down an exit ramp, a car pulled up alongside. The young driver wondered if he needed a ride. "Get away from me!" Kessler barked, waving the hammer. Soon afterward, alerted to this encounter, two police officers in patrol cars appeared. Kessler, 42, who had recently stopped taking drugs to treat paranoid schizophrenia, at first ignored their orders and kept walking. Within two minutes, he lay dead on a lawn with five bullets in his chest, leg and wrist. It was the first fatal shooting by the 56-member police force in this town next to Lake Ontario. And it raised questions about how well police here - and in departments around the nation - are trained to cope when mentally ill people break the law. "I saw the bullet holes," said Kessler's sister, Marlene Zazzara. "They didn't have to shoot him so many times." When officers saw her brother was despondent, she said, why not try non-lethal means? "Why didn't they Mace him? Why didn't they net him or call for backup? They didn't know he was trying to go get help." Tears flooded her eyes as she sat in her kitchen recalling that July morning in 1998. "It was like losing a child," she said. "I was his lifeline, through good, bad and indifferent. I was always there for him." Large institutions that once housed psychiatric patients began shrinking or shutting down in the second half of the 20th century as doctors switched to community care and the use of new anti-psychotic drugs. One result was that police increasingly have found themselves dispatched to the front lines of mental-health care. Encounters with people behaving in bizarre ways brought on by depression, delusions, intense anger or anxiety usually end peacefully. But hundreds of times in recent years, officers' attempts to deal with what they see as a public threat have lethal consequences. "Police departments are recognizing that they need to be more effective in their dealings with the mentally ill because these shootings have become all too common," said Terry Garahan, a mental-health-clinic supervisor in Ithaca, N.Y. After a deranged woman fatally stabbed a police inspector there, he helped bring about changes in tactics that police use in crises involving the mentally ill. Led by a Memphis, Tenn., program begun in 1988, at least 15 cities from Houston to Roanoke, Va., to Waterloo, Iowa, have "crisis-intervention" officers trained intensively to handle emergency calls about emotionally disturbed people. Some cities - including Los Angeles, Birmingham, Ala., and Knoxville, Tenn. - pair mental-health specialists with mobile police units. More typically, departments rely on academy training, often an eight-hour regimen using role-playing scenarios. That's as much as many departments feel they can afford. "Should we train all our officers to be psychiatrists? Hey, I'd love to. Have you got $$ @30,000 for each officer to send him back to college?" said Capt. Mark Bonsignore, police-training officer in Irondequoit, a Rochester suburb. "We train our people to deal with crises in a general manner, and they do a tremendous job at that. We did a great of soul-searching after Mr. Kessler's death. Our training worked exactly as it was supposed to work." But Lt. Sam Cochran, who coordinates the Memphis program, believes that police everywhere can handle mental-illness complaints better at little extra cost, and dramatically reduce injury rates to officers and the public. Some 200 of the 900-plus patrol officers in Memphis have undergone at least a week's special training: meeting mentally ill people, studying medications and symptoms, and learning how to adjust their voice tone, stance and expectations during standoffs. The first step, Cochran said, is recognizing that the mentally ill are not "always violent, out of control and always going to kill you." Memphis also opened an emergency clinic where unstable people can be quickly dropped off by police. "It's much more than just training," Cochran said. "It's an infrastructure. It's about changing attitudes and behavior." Marlene Zazzara's telephone picked up a message from her younger brother around 9 a.m. He said his car was missing when he awoke. He sounded frightened. Whenever "Ronnie" was in trouble, he'd go in search of her. Two hours after the call, he'd walked 10 miles from his studio apartment in the neighboring Rochester suburb of Webster and was three blocks from her home when he ran into the police. Zazzara thinks he picked the wildflowers for her. And the hammer? He was probably bringing it to help repair her husband's broken-down pickup, as he'd done two days before, she says. Ron and Marlene were raised by their grandparents, and the family first recognized something was wrong when, at 19, Ron began kicking a family dog over and over. Years later, he whirled around in a church pew and punched an elderly man, thinking he was a vampire. After both outbursts, gentle intervention calmed him and he went off in an ambulance. While physically imposing - 6-foot-2, 205 pounds with a muscular build - this was a laid-back, upbeat man who rarely lost his temper. "He was like a puppy," said Zazzara. "He would make us laugh all the time," her daughter, Christine, recalled. Kessler taught her to swim and he played a determined game of Monopoly. Watching "Three Stooges" episodes, he'd laugh until tears ran down his face. He also complained of hearing voices. He saw his name written in the snow. He believed doctors put an implant behind his ear to monitor his thoughts. Medicine kept the demons at bay but left him prone to bouts of lethargy and dread. So for years, whenever he felt better, Kessler stopped taking his pills. Black moods would always return. Only by his early 30s did Zazzara persuade him to switch to monthly, time-release injections. That worked well. But Kessler was now dabbling in cocaine, leading to petty thefts and brief spells in jail. By 1998, he seemed finally to have broken his addiction. He'd started a painting-and-drywall business, moved to Webster and begun dating. He also returned to his medication, but before long he stopped again. Within two weeks, Kessler had a noisy row with a supermarket cashier, pushed aside a customer's cart carrying a little boy, then ran his car at a store manager in the parking lot. Webster police found the car outside his apartment complex and towed it, but couldn't locate him. That wouldn't happen until the next morning. Officer Carl Saporito arrived first, alerted to "a suspect menacing motorists." Officer Todd Fitzsimmons pulled up moments later. Neither had ever fired his gun on duty. Saporito, a 20-year veteran, told investigators he quietly asked Kessler to drop the hammer. Kessler bolted down Culver Road, which runs through a mostly residential section. A dozen witnesses, many in cars, watched as the officers hemmed him in by standing on each side. Kessler now appeared highly agitated and suddenly raised the hammer. "Put the hammer down!" the officers shouted. Police said Kessler lunged at Fitzsimmons with the hammer, forcing him backward. Kessler then turned around and advanced toward Saporito. Four of the bullets came from Saporito's .45-caliber gun. "The way he was swinging the thing, it looked like he was blind," said Chris Gress, 33, a gas-station manager watching from across the street. "I don't think it's the officers' fault and I don't believe a man should have died over something like that. He should have been in the hospital." The officers' perception that Kessler was a deadly threat to themselves or others justified their action, prosecutor Ken Hyland said. "What if he goes around the corner and there's a little boy or girl sitting on the sidewalk?" Hyland asked. "The officers couldn't allow him to move on without evaluating the situation," said Bonsignore, their trainer. "If Carl had not shot, he would have been seriously injured or dead because Kessler would have buried that hammer in his head." The officers declined to be interviewed. Both remain on patrol. They were cleared by a grand jury, and a civil lawsuit alleging excessive use of force was dismissed. "My problem with the law," Zazzara said, "is they have a right to do whatever their gut feeling tells them to." While reluctant to second-guess individual cases, some mental-health advocates suggested the officers might have waited for reinforcements while keeping close enough to protect others. "Why not walk in front? I mean, they can always shoot him," Garahan said. Ron Honberg, legal director at the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, said, "I've developed an immense respect for the police over the years, but if they deal with this as a confrontation, ... frequently that will feed right into the symptoms." ==== "He talks about transmissions from satellites, implants and missions," Baugh said. "He said he had an assignment to terminate her." The Plain Dealer January 28, 2000 Friday, FINAL / ALL SECTION: METRO; Pg. 2B LENGTH: 311 words HEADLINE: SERVICES SET TODAY FOR WOMAN KILLED BY BOYFRIEND IN GEORGIA; BYLINE: By KEVIN HARTER, PLAIN DEALER REPORTER BODY: Services will be held today in Norwalk for Patricia Ann Booher, who was slain in Georgia while traveling to Florida with her boyfriend. Hayward Bissell, 37, is expected to be charged today with killing the 24-year-old Norwalk woman. The couple left Norwalk, in Huron County, last Saturday en route to Winter Haven, Fla., where Bissell had planned to introduce his girlfriend to his parents. Sheriff deputies in northeast Alabama discovered her multilated body in Bissell's car when they stopped him to investigate a hit-and-run Sunday. Sheriffs from DeKalb County, Ala., and neighboring Chattooga County, Ga., are certain Booher was killed in Georgia on Sunday afternoon, then driven into neighboring Alabama, according to Hoyt Baugh, Bissell's court-appointed lawyer. Bissell, who was already charged with two attempted murders and attempted burglary in DeKalb County for stabbing one man and striking another with his Lincoln Town Car, has been transferred to the Taylor-Hardin mental facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Baugh said. "He went peaceably and quietly this morning," Baugh said. First, Bissell was interviewed by a psychiatrist, who found him currently unfit to stand trial, Baugh added. "He appears to be psychotic, a disillusional, paranoid-schizophrenic," Baugh said. "I've handled a lot of cases, including murder, but nothing as deranged and incompetent as he is." Hoyt said Bissell would be assessed at the mental facility. If found fit to stand trial, the plea would be not guilty by reason of mental insanity. He is doubtful it will ever come to that. "He talks about transmissions from satellites, implants and missions," Baugh said. "He said he had an assignment to terminate her." Booher's funeral will be at Kubach-Smith Funeral Home, 314 Main St., Norwalk, at 2 p.m. She will be buried in Clarksfield Cemetery, east of Norwalk. ++++++ "Battle, who took the stand in his own defense, claimed prison officials tormented and controlled him through implants in his head and forced him to attack Correctional Officer D'Antonio Washington." Fulton County Daily Report March 13, 1997, Thursday LENGTH: 343 words HEADLINE: Prison Inmate Convicted of Murdering Guard BODY: Just five hours after deliberations began Wednesday, a jury convicted federal prison inmate Anthony George Battle of the first-degree murder of a prison guard. Lead defense attorney John R. Martin had asked the jury to find Battle not guilty by reason of insanity, contending that psychological tests showed his client is a paranoid schizophrenic. Battle, who took the stand in his own defense, claimed prison officials tormented and controlled him through implants in his head and forced him to attack Correctional Officer D'Antonio Washington. But lead prosecutor William L. McKinnon Jr. argued that Battle had faked his delusions in an attempt to evade responsibility for the crime. The guilty verdict might not come as a surprise, considering that Battle confessed to hitting Washington over the head with a ball peen hammer. The key question remains whether the jury will agree with prosecutors that Battle deserves the death penalty. The Battle case presents the first time a federal jury in Georgia will be asked to condemn a defendant. United States v. Battle, No. 1:95-CR-528-ODE (N.D. Ga. 1995). Both the defense and the prosecution presented testimony from several mental health experts who had evaluated Battle. All agreed he was mentally ill, but came up with different diagnoses. The jury will hear more testimony about Battle's mental condition during the penalty phase, which is to begin Thursday morning and is expected to last several days. "It's time for the real trial to begin," Martin said after the verdict. Other than Battle's time on the stand, the jury has seen the defendant staring, rocking and grimacing during the three-week trial. Tuesday, Battle shouted out during closing arguments, interrupting Martin. When the defender said his client did not agree with the insanity defense, Battle shouted, "Get the truth out." Evans admonished him to remain quiet, but Battle cried out, "They are all lying." Martin, who was nearly out of time, said he was leaving his argument there. --Emily Heller ==== Martin F.
