An unprecedented number of military soldiers and veterans are committing suicide every day all over the world. A revealing and hard-hitting documentary titled The Hidden Enemy: Inside Psychiatry's Covert Agenda firmly places the blame at the doorstep of the psychiatric industry.

According to the sequence of events presented in the film, an insidious plan was set in motion in 1940 during an annual meeting of the National Council on Mental Hygiene. It was there that Brigadier General J.R. Rees announced plans to introduce psychiatric practices within the ranks of the military. The Army and the other fighting services form rather unique experimental groups since they are complete communities, he announced, and it is possible to arrange certain experiments in a way that would be very difficult in civilian life. These heroic figures who fought for their country would provide an ideal breeding ground of guinea pigs for an industry struggling for worldwide public acceptance.

Three-quarters of a century later, these practices are still in place, and they're more profitable than ever. One disastrous symptom of this lies in the military's over-reliance on prescriptions for anti-psychotic drugs. Several members of the armed forces attest to this disturbing trend in the film. They witness far too many soldiers who are not given the proper medical evaluations they deserve because pharmaceutical sales remain the priority. As a result, many soldiers are hurriedly diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome, even when their symptoms might indicate a more severe brain injury, and they're given medications that only exacerbate their already tremulous condition. These toxic drugs inflict severe behavioral changes and can potentially make them a danger to others and, more commonly, to themselves.

The infiltration of psychiatry within the military does not end with the soldiers. Outpatient psychiatric treatment for children of deployed active duty service members has reached an all-time high, says interview subject and retired Air Force Staff Sergeant Kerry Patton. How many drugs are these children being forced to take now?

With great humanity and concern, this film exposes a growing epidemic which exists under the spotlight of public scrutiny among military units around the world.

  1. Psychiatry is nothing more than chemical lobotomy and should be outlawed. Arrogant snobs jockey people's minds for money.

  2. This is 100% $cientology propaganda. The CoS was founded by a paranoid nutcase science fiction writer who desperately needed psychiatric care and when he died was found to have psych meds in his system. He spent his later years in hiding from the government due to his ripping off people of millions of dollars for phony "tech".

  3. I totally agree with this view, experienced this on active duty and to this day, some 27th years later. There is no profit in healthy people, no profit for the military industrial complex unless there is a war. Example of greed on steroids

  4. I believe this film is one-sided and has an agenda to discredit and malign psychiatry which is certainly not above criticism but is not portrayed accurately.

  7. I am going to reserve my assessment of this documentary until you finish it. I have watched 9:08 minutes and will not watch any more of it, until you give me English voiceovers of the German language. I wear glasses most of the time, and I do not want to wear glasses while relaxing to watch TV.

    I think this is an extremely important documentary, and you are limiting your audience by ignoring the needs of the handicapped.

  8. Excellent documentary.
    I recommend the book The Body Keeps The Score, by Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D.
    More people should also know about hypnotherapy, and a good book is The Couple Who Became Each Other, by David L. Calof.
    I've been studying handwriting analysis for more than 3 decades, and it is superior for diagnoses of all sorts; not all analysts are equal, so best to get several analyses.
    Thank you,

  9. Yang sees a path of broken people & broken communities from prescriptions being forced down people's throat & alcohol tradition conditioning & constriction.
    1,000 a month is the equivalent to having 300k & living off 4% interest a month. Five college graduates will replace a hundred high schoolers the real question will there be millions of jobs for middle aged low-skilled workers WHO GOT Hoodwinked on overly promoted alcohol & prescriptions. The answer is no only 2019 alcohol consumption death toll.
    The American work week at been declining until 1980 Peak alcohol consumption, DUI conviction, and divorce. 1980 18% single parents 2015 40% single parents. Four out of ten Americans reported working over 50 hours a week even though work hours have dropped in other developed counties.

  10. I really feel for these men and their families, can't even imagine the shock and hurt they've all experienced because of these treatments, it's practically murder. I've had exactly the same side-effects as Chad as a result of taking Seroquil, it was absolute hell. My heart goes out to everyone affected, may the men be resting in peace and the families find healing somehow.

  11. Psychiatry is covert, torture program using the DSM brainwashing manuals and brainwashing judges, law enforcement, and parents that someone reacting normally to traumatic events has FAKE disorders/illnesses using poison pills in a human experiment based on one of the greatest hoaxes of the 21st century masked as medical and therapy. It's time to call it as is. Ban psychiatry, the torture clinics, and the pills. Death toll is 3,000 per month and 500,00 per year as stated by Dr. Peter Gotzsche. Violations under the Communist Control Act of 1954. Makes the Rev. Jim Jones look like a saint in comparison due to false belief systems, fake science papers, fake expert opinions, propaganda, and lying by commission. IT'S GAME OVER!!! And it's game on for criminal charges and involuntary liens.

  12. Iam a Canadian who was in the USA military, I did not experience anything like this, except one time a team of medics gave us a bunch of shots without explanation what for. That was in Iceland . What can you get in Iceland? I found out that there is a law that allows the government to do experiments on the population that would certainly include the military!

  14. Some very good comments have been made. Unfortunately it takes more than words to effect XXchangeXX improvement. (thinking "change" means "improvement" is unwise).

    We already know that the military has been experimenting on soldiers for decades in many other ways. Why then is the continued unethical and immoral pharmaceutical testing upon them questioned, just because a Scientology related outfit did the documentary? Without this docu, we already know it is happening.

    Look up Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program. Look up Current Status of Vaccines for Military. To require ALL military to get Anthrax shots is a mass experiment since when first ordered there was NO need for most usa military to have it.

    Only the mentally disordered would think that the military were not subject to experimentation with psychiatric and other drugs, to their detriment.

    As Major General Smedley Butler stated and wrote in 1935 in his article "War Is A Racket" until the profit is taken out of war will our soldiers no longer be severely abused (or similar words). Sadly that holds true for peace time or state side soldiers as well as any civilian exposing themselves to the medical industry rather than a Naturopath or alternative treatments. Some of these alternative lower cost treatments can cure, whereas the pharmaceuticals are never designed to cure but to mask symptoms for some time while they deteriorate/poison you. Requiring additional medical expense to deal with that, draining you of your life and your money until both are gone.

    Clearly the FDA, Big Pharma, the Military leadership along with those in Congress and the Administration who support it, the American Medical Assn. and the Courts who support them are guilty as hell if not colluding and/or conspiring at times while causing harm upon the Soldiers as well as the Civilians.

    Right now and for at lest 2 decades the people of most of this world have been experimented on with Chemtrails, some of which have been biologics.

    I realize that there are still far too many ignorant folks who desire not to believe their govt would do harm to them. Grow up and wake up. Your govt considers you to be a potential enemy and therefore treat you as the enemy, and for good reason. If you were doing harmful things to people, you would consider them to be enemies if they were to find out. If you were doing many things to get rid of people's rights, you would consider people to be your enemy if they found out.

    Again such words do little. Seeing to it you are properly represented, by gathering together outside of the political parties to make sure wise decent honorable people, dedicated to eliminating the swamp, are running from all parties in numbers, is paramount.

    Unless you move to your own island, the ballot box is your only hope so why do you let those who do NOT have your best interests in mind pick who rules over you?

  16. As an Air Force Mom this documentary is quite frightening. I don't care if this is a documentary produced by Scientology, the fact remains that these are in fact actual FACTS. I am scared for my son who enlisted right out of high school. He is still a young man only 21 and joined the United States Air Force at the age of 18. He was recently deployed overseas to Qatar in July 2016 he just recently returned to the states, stationed in Florida and he will be home for a visit soon. If he comes home with any form of medication, you will can be dang sure I will make a fuss about it. He is a brilliant young man and would have no necessary reason to be medicated on anything whatsoever. If in fact he does need some sort of treatment for his deployment it will be in a natural theraputic way.
    I have done enough of my own research to know that civilians and military men and women are nothing more than guinea pigs for big pharma companies. I will not hesitate to take action on whatever I need to do to not allow my child to be medicated by any type of psychedelic drug. No matter what the reason. There are natural ways of healing and can all be applied with a holistic approach. This film angered me, because these soldiers are standing in the name of our country only to be used and disposed of like nothing by the US government. I feel for these families who lost a child to these pseudo drugs. I cannot even bare the thought of losing a child, but I supported my son in his decision to join the Air Force. I wish I knew then what I know now. People need to be educated on how harmful these drugs can be. I've learned how to educate myself about the big pharma companies and the drugs they push. I know first hand that these prove to be 100% INEFFECTIVE! I also have a child who was diagnosed in the autism spectrum and was told that she has aspergers, their treatment was to medicate her with even those meds that were named here. Her aspergers was only getting worse and then one condition turned to another and then psychiatrist wanted to diagnose her as having O.D.D. (also known as Oppositional Defiant Disorder) and mood disorder and their treatment plan was to up her meds change her meds and/or add more meds to her condition. It only got worse from there and that is when I first began doing own research!
    I've educated myself quite well on the subject. Often too, while taking these kinds of meds only increases the long term effects and may actual cause damage to the brain or body that can be irreversible.
    Its sickening that these corporations can get away with this, but then again the only reason they do is because all they see is $$$$ that's the bottom line! They dont see people they see deeper pockets for themselves. Its a billion dollar industry and they will keep on getting away with it until more people speak out about what an outrage this is and educate others on the harm that this is doing to those we know and love.
    Mental Illness is a real disease but what people dont realize that its not a curable disease. It can only be managed with therapeutic efforts not meds!

  17. To those who discredit the doc just because apparently Scientology is behind it. I say as if 22 US soldiers do not kill themselves everyday in the US after they come back from battle. Shame on you. What about the testimonies of all these Americans? Are they all "scientologists"? If nobody would listen to them, and if Scientology is willing, then thank God for Scientology. And I thought Scientology was all around about evil. I guess they do have some light in them after all, for documenting such dark side of the military. This is not even the first related documentary that I saw whether it be within the military or outside it.
    Fact of the matter is, Scientology or not. FDA, big Pharma, and a massive # of US doctors are all in cahoots with each other to get rich on the expenses of, Brutally and not mention NEEDLESSLY, TRAUMATIZED soldiers. THIS IS A FACT!! Shame on big Pharma and their dealers and on anybody who covers for them. How would you like to be one of the victims or their family members so you live what they lived through? You are a disgrace to this country.
    To this great documentary makers. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

  19. There is a fantasy/myth which military personnel have in their heads that needs to be addressed, corrected & exposed for what it is - a fat lie.
    And that is that joining the military is 'serving' or 'defending' your country, or that it is 'noble', 'honourable' & 'heroic'.
    When you pick up a gun to point it at another human being with the intention of destroying that life, you dishonour both yourself & the fellow human beings which you CLAIM to be 'protecting'. For what difference is there between the lives you're about to take & the ones you're 'defending'? In the grand scheme of things? NOTHING. They too have families they feel that they're defending.
    Consider the ramifications of that single intent when followed by the accompanying action:
    1) It does permanent damage to your psyche so that when you return to those you claim to protect, they too pay in so many ways. In effect, you make THEM pick up the tab.
    2) Placing yourself in that danger causes fear, anxiety & stress to the partner &/or children who wait for your return, IF you return. Once again, you make THEM pay.
    3) Volunteering to be the aggressor in another country for your govt's agenda invites/demands actions of revenge from citizens of that country, & your family will not escape that revenge. Again, THEY pay.
    4) Your fellow countrymen (as well as your family & friends) have to pay for EVERYTHING required to arm & protect you, treat or bury you & transport your body back (dead or alive). Compare this to a job/profession which actually PRODUCES goods or services which can be used by the community you wish to serve. Yep, THEY'RE paying again.
    In short, the choice to 'serve' in the military is actually counter-productive to the aims or goals of serving & protecting your fellow human being - you may as well be pointing that gun at them. When asked why they even wished to enlist, most military personnel will tell you that they also really wanted to travel & go on some great adventure & that the military's resources made it more possible for them to go on that adventure than they'd ever be able to afford for themselves. This makes their explanation of 'serving their fellow man' really more of a cover-up & an excuse for a lifestyle choice seeking excitement & adrenaline rather than the BORING responsibilities of contributing to their community or raising a family at home with a partner who NEEDS their help, not more anxiety.
    Yet we, as a species, still continue to allow them to delude both themselves & those around them by accepting their feeble reasons for committing these horrible atrocities. They speak these excuses as though they were truths & they find it acceptable that they can do it, so it must okay - understandably, most have no idea what they're really getting themselves into because those in rank, also encourage the lie in order to keep bringing the gun-fodder into the machine.
    But it is akin to a male version of the Cinderella fairy tale, it is a heinous lie, it is wrong & we as a species, need to expose it - now.

  20. Oh my Lord - 'We don't know what causes suicide'!!!??? That bloke was clearly a moron & I don't know what he was even doing in that position.
    Here's a hint mate - being in the military, killing other human beings & then seeing a military psychiatrist is what causes suicide... And you can pretty much put that in the bank.
    The fact is that those in rank don't want to know what problems the filthy little deeds they convince their soldiers to commit, does to them - the gun-fodder is more important coz this is all about money now isn't it?
    The fact is that the human brain was never meant to kill its fellow human coz the trauma from the event scars it forever. This is why 'Do not kill' is a basic commandment.
    And the fact is that when you allow a military to become an industrial complex, it will crush ANY opposition to its existence at any price, & we ALL pay the price for that one.
    It will be our destruction...

  21. This is very sad, I now know why my dad wasn't himself after vietnam he came back crazy & on high on meds, anger was the man I knew. The military destroyed my dad I hold them responsible & my dad for believing their lies about having a career in this satanic cult. Just last month after coming back from Chicago I saw three bus loads of young men and women under the age of 25 going to their deaths. Yes you must pay for education in the States but at least you have your damn life a future family who cares about you. Sacrificing peoples souls to feed the beast is unconstitutional just like in the movie (They Live) the government is controlled by a secret socity & they do not care about us. Tell your daughters sons TO STAY OUT OF THIS!

  22. I was trapped in the mental health system for many years and I am here to tell you that these Scientology documentaries they put out against psychiatric meds and doctors and stuff IS NOT full of cr*p. It's NOT bullsh*t. However Scientology is just AS harmful --it is the pot calling the kettle black.

  23. Wayne Elliott - I completely agree with you! I have been saying this for a long time.
    Isn't it common sense? How come no one gets this? The pills they give you make you more sick than you were when you came in to see the doctor. You go in with one problem....and after awhile of taking the pills....you have 5 new problems,and still the old problem.
    Has no one noticed this? How can you all be so dumb? IT's a multi trillion dollar industry.
    The doctors,pharmacies and government want you to be sick, the sicker you are the better.
    Because then you go to the doctor for your new ailments,and guess what? They prescribe you some more pills..........and this pattern goes on and on,till your dead.
    Let me give you one tip to stop this in it's tracks......stop taking the pills stupid. Be your own doctor,do your own research and networking,find out what's wrong with you and cure it in the most NATURAL WAY POSSIBLE. The doctors are even starting to just deny that they know what's wrong with people now,or they say it's something different. It's getting to the point where they can't be trusted at all. Would you ask a serial killer to help you? Or perform a surgery on you?

  24. Scientology cult members hate psychology because the psychologist diagnosed their founder as clinically insane. L Ron Hubbard wrote an article espousing his views and submitted it for peer approval but when they read it's contents they disavowed every aspect of it. His followers know the truth, that his so called church is nothing more than a tax shelter for the rich.
