Isn't it amazing; if you're a professional football player in America, you must undergo rigorous physical testing and a psychological workup. Okay, that's a sport.
If you're a pilot, the same is true. You must have detailed physical assessments and be able to act and behave rationally. Obviously, to pilot a plane, you have to use your brain. So how come we don't test prospective politicians who are "piloting" a country or a state?
There are many examples of why some belong outside political power. The obvious example is Joe Biden, U.S. President whose dementia has been self-evident to many for a few years. One journalist stated, "He is being held together by sticky tape and glue".
Then there is Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House, who at times struggled to be coherent and stammered on her words.
Then we have some of the younger crowd who act irrationally. There are other psychological aberrations besides dementia which would preclude individuals from seeking office. However, there is no such policy in place.
Take Governor Hochul of New York:
Hochul promises 'consequences' if drugstores don't sell abortion pills: 'Pharmacies are the new battleground'
Imagine trying to force a store to sell a product that does not have a health benefit. Whatever you think about abortion, these bills terminate a potential life. I guess if Hochul was tested, the psychosis would be revealed.
Then there is the radical Cori Bush. In this clip, there is a disconnect between her "defunding the police" agenda and her spending more than $100,000 on personal security. Yes, she's an ideologue, but in my opinion, she carries a pathological victim mentality, and an unhealthy mental state.
Perhaps the most extraordinary situation is the case of John Fetterman. This man suffered a stroke before running for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania in 2022. He was obviously mentally challenged. It was plain for anyone to see, yet he won the election. Just weeks later, he suffered a mental breakdown and has been suffering from severe depression and hasn't been seen.
John Fetterman mocked for nonsensical answer when asked how he's feeling
He should never have been a candidate in the first place, and he shouldn't be mocked. The system that allows someone not mentally competent to hold significant office should be ridiculed.
Mental illness in some form affects many in advanced countries, especially as they age. In fact, dementia is one of the three leading causes of death today.
In 2019-2020, 20.78% of adults were experiencing a mental illness. That is equivalent to over 50 million Americans.
The vast majority of individuals with a substance use disorder in the U.S. are not receiving treatment. How many politicians are engaged in substance abuse?

So there is a good chance that some people in Congress suffer from mental issues and take drugs that alter their capacity to reason. It's an insult to voters to have people running unfit for their jobs.
I'm not just picking on America because we have similar issues in Australia, where at least 20% of the populace suffers from mental problems.
Not to be outdone, the New Zealand government is showing itself to be suffering from Psychopathic Schizophrenia, as reported by Guy Hatchard. Why? Because "the New Zealand government calls for everyone over the age of 30 to receive new boosters and simultaneously releases public health data showing that boosters are ineffective and deadly".
It's time that prospective politicians go through a screening program much like people in other industries do.
The cartoon below with Senator Shumer’s remarks, says it all.
Thank you to Dr Robert Malone for providing the image.
That Psychopathic Schizophrenia in NZ, it is kinda still occurring here in WA.
Every morning on the radio, while driving to work, you get a "be covidsafe" message from the government, whereby you should mask up, sanitise hands, and keep up to date with your "vaccination" (i hate using that word).
It's a very, very interesting question Ely
