In a shocking news report in major U.S. newspapers, Homeland Security was sued and found guilty of indiscriminate use of heavy psychotropic drugs used as recently as 2008 to tranquillize/immobilize immigrants and deportees, where 95% of the deportees being processed were given Haldol shots of extremely high dosage, with no medical reason, no psychiatric disorder to treat, and presenting no medical indications of needing this drug.
Typically, in a hospital setting, a person who is extremely agitated or in the throes of a complete psychotic break, would be injected with perhaps a 5 to 10 mg dosage of Haldol. the amount which was being forcibly given to these detainees was 30 mg. Enough to make them keel over, enough to make them unconscious and incoherent, enough to make it necessary to drag them from one place to another, as they could no longer walk. The difference is not only the dosage being as high as it was, but these detainees had no signs of schizophrenia or other diagnosed illness which would warrant such medication being used.
The use of psychotropic drugs as a form of population control and weaponry has been seen earlier on, for instance in the Russian use of “punitive psychiatry” which can be studied and researched in-depth on the net.
Haldol is produced by the manufacturer “Merck”. Merck’s stock value (see “MRK”) can be seen to be rapidly declining in share value perhaps due in some part to the bad press and litigation concerning this and other controversial psychotropic products marketed by the company.
