  1. “We Have Happy Pills, Anxiety Drugs, and Therapists Galore: So Why Are We More Stressed and Depressed Than Ever?”

    Because psychiatry with it’s DSM bible is the anti-christ.

    666 means “sickness and sex sells”.

    “The antichrist will seemingly provide for the needs of the people but deny them ultimate salvation.”

    Current sensational wave this summer: RFID chip, “mark of the beast”. YouTube people are posting *abundant* videos. That’s what’s going on in the mind of the masses.

    What ever are they thinking? How did they get this stuff into their heads? Do they all have mental illness or are they firmly grounded in reality? (beep).

    Are they terrified? What sort of mental, emotional and behavioral conditions, ills and ails do you suffer from being terrorized? Does it make sense yet?
