Biggest Medical Crime in the US: Lobotomy vs. Gender Surgery

27.02.2025 | www.kla.tv/36750

Caution: Some pictures may not be for the faint-hearted. As mentioned in the program about the leaked WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) documents, entire medical associations are engaged in performing genital surgery on people suffering from so-called gender dysphoria. These people would feel uncomfortable in their bodies and often suffer from psychological problems – this is how the WPATH doctors and therapists describe it from their practical experience. And they promptly "support" their patients with various gender reassignment surgeries, including the artificial construction of sexual organs [vaginoplasty or phalloplasty], removal of the uterus [hysterectomy] and "top surgery", which is the removal of the female breasts [mastectomy]. But are such literally drastic interventions really beneficial and effective for those who suffer mental health problems? Or is there great cause for concern? Let’s learn from past examples: On the history of lobotomy In the middle of the 20th century, there was a widespread belief in the medical world that the most effective and humane treatment for mental illness was lobotomy. "In the conventional method, a hole is drilled into both sides of the head, a blunt instrument is then inserted and an arc-shaped rotating movement is performed, which destroys a considerable amount of brain matter. Another procedure consists of inserting a surgical device through the thin structure separating the eye and brain, through the eye socket leading into the brain and also rotating it in an arc." This is how Davison and Neale are quoted by Heiko Schöning in his book "Game Over". [Game Over p.111] In 1941, the New York Times described that in lobotomized patients, "(...) worry, persecution complexes, suicidal tendencies, obsessions, indecision and nervous tension are literally cut out of the head with a knife by a new operation on the brain." The brutality of the surgical mutilation was not mentioned. Because "(...) the lobotomy initially made people in psychiatric institutions calmer (...)", Schöning continues, which initially gave the brutal operation the appearance of a miracle cure. Despite the obvious dangers and devastating side effects, the medical community quickly embraced the practice of lobotomy as a treatment for a variety of mental disorders, including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. Lobotomists, i.e. doctors who performed this operation, were not vilified but were held in high esteem by many. Antonio Moniz, the inventor of the lobotomy, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1949 for his contribution to medicine. Walter Freeman and James Watts, who popularized the procedure in the United States, were warmly greeted at the annual meetings of the American Medical Association (AMA) [American professional association and lobby group of physicians and medical students], where they held exhibitions about their brain-mutilating procedures. According to Peter Breggin, Freeman is quoted as follows: "Psychosurgery achieves its success by crushing the imagination, dulling emotions, destroying abstract thoughts and creating a robot-like, controllable individual." [Game OVER p. 110] As critizing fellow doctors was considered unethical at the time, the prestigious "New England Journal of Medicine" gave a scientific validity to the procedure: It published an article stating that the operation was "(...) based on sound physiological observations". The tabloid press also played a decisive role. Over the next five years, lobotomy was frequently featured in popular US publications such as Reader’s Digest, Time and Newsweek. The reporting was generally positive and played down the barbaric reality of the intervention. None of the major American medical associations, including the American Psychiatric Association (APA: the most prominent psychiatric association in the USA) and the American Medical Association (AMA), had officially opposed the procedure. Desperate patients and their families requested a lobotomy after reading these articles. Conditions in psychiatric wards at the time were deplorable, and alternative treatments such as insulin coma therapy [artificially inducing hypoglycemia by administering insulin, after which the patient falls into a coma for a few minutes] and electroshock therapy [passing an electric current through the brain for seconds under anesthesia to induce a "therapeutic" seizure] were also harsh and often violent. This led to a strong, willful blindness to the barbaric nature of lobotomy and the side effects associated with it. The procedure often put patients in a state of "surgically induced childhood". Freeman invented the "transorbital lobotomy", in which a surgical instrument resembling an ice pick was hammered through the patient’s eye socket into the brain. He considered his method successful if his patients could leave the institution and be cared for at home "at the level of an invalid domestic or a pet". He was also convinced that the earlier the operation was performed, the better it was and advocated for it to be the first treatment option for people with only mild mental illness. However, the questionable measure of success failed to materialize: Some patients remained permanently disabled and around 15% of them died. The luckiest of Freeman’s patients managed to lead semi-independent lives and take low-skilled jobs, but most of them were not so fortunate. Many had their long-term memory destroyed and struggled with even the simplest tasks. Some remained disabled for life. Probably Freeman’s most egregious crime was when he performed transorbital lobotomies on children, 19 in all, 11 of which were described in the 1950 edition of his book "Psychosurgery". The youngest child was only four years old. Two of the 11 children died of brain hemorrhages. It was not until the New York Times declared in its coverage that "surgeons now have as few hesitations about brain surgery as they do about removing an appendix" that opposition to the procedure started to seriously build up. Because the patients in psychiatric institutions, who initially became calmer, "(...) then became more dull, apathetic and died" ["Game Over" p. 111, Barahal]. Critics finally pointed out the severe side effects that occurred in many patients, expressed concerns about the criteria used to measure success, and accused surgeons of performing the surgeries without prior psychiatric evaluation. Nevertheless, the lack of humane treatment alternatives – or rather the blind disregard for the brutality of the method – prompted psychiatrists and families to resort to such desperate measures. It was only due to the invention of the drug chlorpromazine [a psychotropic drug with a depressant effect and strong side effects] in the 1950s that triggered the sudden decline in lobotomy. Heiko Schöning even went so far as to speak of the ice pick personality destruction in his book. According to Schöning, around 35,000 people were mutilated by lobotomy in the USA between 1936 and 1978. The number of victims worldwide is estimated at around one million. And it was not uncommon for such methods to be used to break resistance, whether in correctional facilities or amongst civil disobedients, i.e. critics of the prevailing system. "In addition to its application on psychiatric patients, there have been efforts to solve social problems using brain surgery from the very beginning. This is where the actual use of psychosurgery for organized crime begins. At the beginning of the 20th century, a British physician had already suggested removing the miners’ will to strike by means of brain surgery (...). In addition to the ice pick method (...) there is now a number of more sophisticated psychosurgical interventions. (...) These developments are still being worked on around the world today. All methods have one thing in common: they permanently destroy parts of the brain. Psychosurgery is still very popular, despite its now proven uselessness for social therapy purposes." [Gildengerb "Game Over" pp. 112-113] The Presence of Genital Surgery The fact that the medical associations declared Freeman’s barbaric method to be scientifically valid demonstrates the highest degree of criminal lack of conscience and criminality. The history of these brutal, surgical lobotomy procedures should have served as a deterrent, inhumane example to the medical world. But far from it! Only about 70 years later, the next disaster came across the horizon. A Californian therapist reported to her colleagues in the WPATH forum about the "remarkable healing power" of surgical castration for her mentally ill patients, who were thus put "on the road to emotional recovery" and presumably lived happily ever after. WPATH gender surgeons, like lobotomists before them, skirt the ethical requirements that a surgical procedure must be demonstrably safe and beneficial before it is introduced into general medical practice. The few long-term studies on genital surgery that exist show considerable impairment of social functioning, high rates of mental illness in the aftermath and an increased risk of suicide. Nevertheless, the same organizations, just like before, such as the APA [American Psychiatric Association] and AMA [American Medical Association], advocate the genital amputation of minors and mentally ill adults by WPATH surgeons. In both historical scandals, the majority of victims are either minors or mentally ill or both, and the operations performed result in permanent disfigurement and disabilities. In the best case scenario, male patients are left with a cavity after vaginoplasty that needs to be widened for the rest of their lives, as well as drastically reduced sexual function. The less fortunate suffer serious complications such as blood-filled pelvises, problems urinating and fistulas. Ritchie Herron, a de-transitioned man who underwent vaginoplasty during a mental health crisis, describes his post-surgery life as a living nightmare. "You can’t live with dignity like this," said the 32-year-old victim of today’s medical crime, who suffers from constant pain, numbness and urinary disorders. A Comparison of Lobotomy and Genital Surgery Although many patients are plagued by complications and suffer from significant psychological and relationship difficulties, it is publicly lied about and advertised that they are satisfied with the outcome of their genital surgery. In comparison, many families used to be sincerely grateful to Dr. Freeman for helping their loved ones, despite the enormous devastation caused by the surgery back then. Just then as it is now, this points to a certain degree of self-deception or, as Dutch researchers fear, to "happiness distorted by wishful thinking". Families who have consented to the lobotomy of a loved one naturally have the incentive to cling to the conviction that it was the right decision. The obvious signs that this was not the case are deliberately ignored. Many adolescents or their parents and affected adults may be facing a similar internal struggle today. All available evidence from the time before the "gender hype" became highly politicized indicates that the majority of all minors reconcile with their gender after puberty. Unfortunately, however, the natural development of adolescents is being based upon a destroyed social foundation. Because the completely natural search for one’s own identity, accompanied by dissatisfaction and doubts about oneself, is deliberately subjected to a gender interpretation. The children of our time have been infiltrated. From kindergarten onwards, they are encouraged to question their gender. In school lessons, the completely natural developmental process of puberty is deliberately misinterpreted, namely, that you may have been born in the wrong body and that choosing a different gender is not a problem. This is precisely what plays into the hands of gender ideology and WPATH. The division and destruction of families are often an additional source of suffering. Instead of waiting for the end of development in a balanced and patient attitude, the members of WPATH irresponsibly advocate surgical interventions as the only treatment option, even for minors and the severely mentally ill, much like Freeman and his colleagues claimed at the time that lobotomy was the only hope for the poor, and the unfortunate souls in the mental asylums. Back then as nowadays, it is an irreparable mutilation! Conclusion After his last patient died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1967, Walter Freeman, who had fallen out of favor, had his hospital license revoked. He spent the rest of his days driving across the US, tracking down his patients and their families, looking for evidence that his beloved procedure had helped, not harmed. Freeman saw himself as the "savior" of the severely mentally ill, and he believed he could give hope to the hopeless. At the height of his career, he could never have imagined that his miraculous healing would one day be reviled and regarded as an atrocity. The same applies to WPATH and its members. Inspired by the idea of being civil rights heroes fighting for the oppressed, they see themselves as pioneers in medicine, providing necessary medical care to patients in need. However, we think that the surgical destruction of healthy genitalia will go down in history as a crime of equal or even greater magnitude than lobotomy. And the butchers must not escape their just punishment!
