White House weighs controversial plan on mental illness and mass shootings
The White House is considering a controversial proposal to study whether mass shootings could be prevented by monitoring mentally ill people for small changes that might foretell violence.
Former NBC chairman Bob Wright, a longtime friend and associate of President Trump’s, has briefed top officials, including the president, the vice president and Ivanka Trump, on a proposal to create a new research arm called the Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA) to come up with out-of-the-box ways to tackle health problems, much like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) does for the military, according to several people who have been briefed.
After the recent shootings in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, Ivanka Trump asked those advocating for the new agency whether it could produce new approaches to stopping mass shootings, said one person familiar with the conversations who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss them.
Advisers to Wright quickly pulled together a three-page proposal — called SAFEHOME for Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes — which calls for exploring whether technology including phones and smartwatches can be used to detect when mentally ill people are about to turn violent.

One of the common paranoid delusions that schizophrenics experience is that the government is spying on them through their electronic devices.
Maybe they are not crazy after all.
Trump must reject dystopian plan to spy on the mentally ill
Should we spy on the mentally ill? Of course not. But in the aftermath of tragedy, level-headed policymaking often goes out the window.
Unfortunately, this is currently the case in President Trump’s White House. In the wake of several recent mass shootings, the Trump administration is grasping at straws trying to come up with a solution to gun violence that may just not exist.
According to the Washington Post, “The White House is considering a controversial proposal to study whether mass shootings could be prevented by monitoring mentally ill people for small changes that might foretell violence.”

If you are a 2A extremist, that is considered a mental illness and you will be watched!
If you use encrypted apps for email or other comms, you will be labeled as paranoid and you will be watched!
