Schizophrenia produces many symptoms other than hallucinations and causes profound cognitive and social dysfunction. Poverty of thought, delusions, and disordered thinking and speech among others. There would be signs others could see.

If this were really true, there would be no crime right now. Nancy Guthrie has been missing for months now despite the perpetrator being caught on camera in an affluent neighborhood where there would be many Ring, Flock etc. cameras. These companies overpromise and underdeliver as they all do. Their main purpose is get people to pay them. They are much less competent than they claim to be.

Read this article today and was amazed. A former fencing champion named Rodney Wilkinson joined up with the ANC. Rodney had been working at the plant which was under construction. A black draftsman he worked with looked the other way when he took the plans for the plant to copy. He was trained by the ANC in espionage tradecraft, and was given 4 limpet mines to place around the reactors. Since the plant was under construction, there was no nuclear material on site. To minimize the risk of casualties, the operation would occur on the weekend. Rodney was successful and escaped and was able to return to South Africa after the fall of Apartheid.

Really incredible story!

People will do anything for vanity. Botox is contains one of the most potent toxins known on earth, and people will happily inject it directly into their face just for the chance of a slightly smoother face.

Last time it happened, trillions in tax dollars were funneled right to the top. They would be stupid not to try again

To me, it feels like a depressing underfunded public university

A Flock camera near me was knocked over and the solar panel was all smashed up. It's been like a month and hasn't been touched yet. I wonder if they even care?

It really is funny how rampage shooters get apprehended alive, while traffic stops escalate into executions

Imagine a 5000 person aircraft carrier crew fighting the flu while trying to work.
