Raub isn’t the only one this kind of thing has happened to recently. I have read and heard other accounts of official visits based on pro-freedom internet posts, Youtube and radio call-in comments. Authorities seem to skirt the 4th amendment by exploiting the mental health angle.

The way things are going, if you don’t quietly accept tyranny, someone will eventually accuse you of being crazy.

His accusers should be named and identified. Every accused has the right to know and face his/her accusers.


Commies and left wingers everywhere have always used this lame excuse to abuse their citizens who dissented.

From Wikipedia:

In the Soviet Union, systematic political abuse of psychiatry took place.

Soviet psychiatric hospitals known as "psikhushkas" were used by the authorities as prisons in order to isolate hundreds or thousands of political prisoners from the rest of society, discredit their ideas, and break them physically and mentally.

This method was also employed against religious prisoners and most especially against well-educated former atheists who adopted a religion. In such cases their religious faith was determined to be a form of mental illness that needed to be cured.

Formerly highly classified extant documents from “Special file” of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union published after the dissolution of the Soviet Union demonstrate that the authorities of the country quite consciously used psychiatry as a tool to suppress dissent.

Didn’t the Russian KGB used to send their political opponents, enemies and dissidents to mental institutions in Siberia? Hmmm.....
