My psychotic breakdown: Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant, Neon Pill album (2024)

(CBS Morning) Cage the Elephant's Kentucky boy Matt Shultz opens up about his psychosis, ADHD medication gone wrong (thanks, $Big Pharma$), and healing through rock music and guns:

Between 2020–2024, Shultz had a paranoid "mental health crisis" for the making of Neon Pill (2024).

He experienced a severe adverse reaction to prescribed ADHD medication, which led to paranoid delusions and a break from reality. His condition culminated in a high-profile arrest in January 2023 in NY, where he was found with two loaded firearms.

Double crossed by pharmaceuticals

Cage the Elephant singer on arrest: “It saved my life”

Cage the Elephant was once double crossed by a "Neon Pill"

Shultz later avoided jail time through a plea deal and underwent extensive treatment, which he has credited with saving his life [12]. This turbulent period deeply influenced Cage the Elephant's sixth studio album, Neon Pill.

Have the pills done too much?

Big Pharma sold me the drugs: Em Beihold "Numb Little Bug"

The album features lyrics reflecting Shultz's psychological descent and recovery, blending confessional songwriting with the band's evolving, genre-fluid sound. Songs like "Neon Pill" and "Rainbow" trace his personal trauma, including a temporary divorce from his wife Kentucky-based actress, dancer, and musician Eva Ross [13].

We're not into psychedelics...or are we?

In interviews, Shultz has spoken candidly about the dangers of blurring performance personas with personal identity and has since adopted a more grounded public presence.

Cage the Elephant: Hey, Man, at least you're on the radio "Social Cues"

I remarried the woman I divorced.

The band's return to touring in 2024 was met with critical acclaim, and Shultz has described the experience as a profound reset, offering new perspective on fame and artistic identity [12].

On Oct. 10, 2024, CBS Mornings aired a segment featuring Shultz and his brother Brad. In it Matt opened up about his psychosis [14]. More

Weed psychosis: real Reefer Madness now

Weed Psychosis is exploding in America (but nobody warned us)

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

(African Diaspora News Channel) Feb. 10, 2026: Rosemarie Havsom reports: Marijuana (from the Chinese mahua,* not Spanish "Mary Jane," weed, pot, the Devil's cabbage, cannabis, THC/CBD) is being sold as “safe,” “natural,” and “harmless” — but emergency rooms across America are seeing a disturbing surge in weed-induced psychosis, paranoia, hallucinations, schizophrenia and violent breaks from reality. This isn’t about old-school [2% THC] weed. Today’s high-THC products are 10–30x stronger than what past generations used — and the brain is paying the price.

True power requires trauma: Pharaohs

Why elite scandals never change anything: Prof. Jiang Xueqin

I blackmail. I don't get got. Cohen taught me.

(Prof Jiang Media) Jan. 8, 2026: Modern societies tend to believe that exposure brings accountability — that when scandals surface, power is finally put at risk.

In this lecture, Jiang Xueqin questions this belief. By examining history, political systems, and recurring patterns of elite behavior, Prof. Xueqin argues that scandals rarely dismantle power structures. More often, they reinforce them.

We work for Zionist Israel and get many perks.

Public outrage creates the illusion of justice, while institutions quietly contain the damage, shield their core interests [redact names of powerful participants in crimes], and continue unchanged.

Through a series of high-profile case studies, this discussion explores why exposure so often fails to generate real reform, why moral anger dissipates without consequence, and why modern societies repeatedly confuse visibility with accountability [and there is no real transparency].

What appears to be a moment of truth, Prof. Xueqin suggests, may instead function as a diversion — shifting attention away from structural power toward spectacle.

This video investigates how elite systems endure scandal, why genuine accountability remains structurally elusive, and why societies continue to misplace faith in exposure as a corrective force.

Jewish terrorist kills his parents in L.A.

UPDATE: (Brian Entin) Investigative reporter live on scene in Brentwood, Los Angeles

Every happy family is the same, but every unhappy one is unique. Ask suspect Nick Reiner.

.

Rob "Meathead" Reiner, RIP

Father and son strike Jewish community in Australia to avenge Zionist Jews' wholesale slaughter of Palestinians and others and an elite set of Jewish criminal bankers, financiers, arms dealers, surveillance and weapons experts, child sex traffickers, blackmailers, and tech billionaires. Meanwhile, closer to home (Los Angeles), a "nice Jewish boy" grotesquely murders two famous Jews in possible drug-soaked rage stabbing (then hires topnotch lawyer using their money to defend himself and aim for acquittal):

• Rob Reiner's murderous Jewish son Nick hires high-profile defense attorney Alan Jackson after arrest for his parents' murders

Jewish murder (the double heinous karma of parricide, in this case patricide and matricide) suspect Nick Reiner, son of legendary actor and director Rob Reiner (the genius behind This Is Spinal Tap, All in the Family, and other classic Hollywood products and son of the legendary Carl Reiner) and photographer Michele Singer-Reiner, has been arrested after allegedly murdering (stabbing to death) his parents in their upscale Brentwood, westside Los Angeles home.

• 

  He married my daughter...in the show

  What must Archie Bunker think of this happening to Meathead Stivic (All in the Family)? Good thing he's passed into a dimension with a better point of view to better understand the strange, albeit ultimately incomprehensible, workings of karma (how a single cause motivated by greed, hatred/fear, and/or delusion leads to so many deleterious effects or vipaka and phala).

Murderous Jewish drug addict son Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested at 9:15 pm local time Sunday night (Dec. 12, 2025) and booked early Monday (Dec. 13, 2025) morning, according to online jail records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

No official charges were listed, but Nick Reiner is being held on suspicion of a [at least one] felony. His bail is currently set at $4 million. Murdered parents Reiner and Singer were found dead Sunday afternoon.

A source later confirmed to Rolling Stone that the couple's youngest female child, Romy, had found her parents' stabbed bodies. Paramedics, firefighters, and police officers were dispatched to the Reiners' home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood near UCLA.

By Sunday night, an investigation was just getting underway as the LAPD waited to obtain a warrant to properly search the house. At the time, LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said that the police were "not seeking anyone as a suspect or as a person of interest," though reports were starting to emerge that a family member was being questioned in connection to the unthinkable double homicide.

 

While a suspect had not yet been officially named, a source told Rolling Stone that drug addicted son Nick was involved in the alleged homicide.

While the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Reiner and Singer and still murky, Nick had a complicated relationship with his parents and had long battled a tenacious drug addiction.

He first went to rehab when he was 15 and was in and out of rehab facilities throughout his later teenage years.

• Related video: Rob Reiner and his wife found dead inside their home, per media reports (MS NOW)
• Nick Reiner: What do we know about Rob Reiner’s Jewish son arrested for murder of parents?  The Guardian

When he was 22, Nick put some of his experiences into the semi-autobiographical film called Being Charlie that he co-wrote which his loving father directed.

Speaking with the Los Angeles Times about the film, Rob and Michele spoke about the challenges Nick faced in rehab and acknowledged their own shortsightedness regarding the efficacy of these programs for their son.

"The program works for some people, but it can't work for everybody," Rob said. "When Nick would tell us that it wasn't working for him, we wouldn't listen. We were desperate, and because the people had diplomas on their wall, we listened to them when we should have been listening to our son."

Michele noted, "We were so influenced by these people. They would tell us he's a liar, that he was trying to manipulate us. And we believed them." More from Rolling Stone:

• US Pres. Trump mocks murdered Jew Rob Reiner, says he was killed because of his severe 'TDS'
• [Interestingly, Trump did not blame Dictator Bibi Netanyahu for fomenting worldwide animosity towards Judaism and Jews by promoting Zionist genocide as well as arming and funding wars and conflicts worldwide]

Psychedelic Cowboys: Shrooms in Old West

VIDEO: How cowboys discovered magic mushrooms on the American frontier

What did cowboys and hippies see in fungi?

(MSN/Footprints of The Frontier) Hidden beneath the legend of the Wild West lies a story few historians dare to tell -- the forgotten connection between cowboys and magic mushrooms.

What's that on those cowpies, Casey? - Shrooms!

As European settlers invaders, loggers, and ranchers spread westward, psilocybin mushrooms* flourished in their wake, sprouting in wood chips, cattle pastures [on dung], and mining camps across the frontier. While whisky fueled the saloons, some frontiersmen and Indigenous healers quietly turned to the “flesh of the gods” for vision, healing, and escape. These fungi spread along the same trails as the pioneers, forming a psychedelic undercurrent to the age of expansion. It’s a chapter of the American frontier buried by religion, shame, and time — until now.

"Magic" mushrooms?

Indoor cultivation of Psilocybe cubensis

Psilocybin "magic mushrooms" (psilocybin-containing mushrooms, commonly known as shrooms [1]) are a type of entheogenic, psychedelic (mind-making), hallucinogenic mushroom and a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain the prodrug psilocybin, which turns into the psychedelic psilocin upon ingestion [2].

The most potent species are members of genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from approximately a dozen other genera, including Panaeolus (including Copelandia), Inocybe, Pluteus, Gymnopilus, and Pholiotina [2].

Psychedelic Gymnopilus luteoviridis

Among other cultural applications, magic mushrooms are used as spiritual medicine (early psychology) and foolishly as recreational drugs [2].

Shrooms were used ritualistically in pre-Columbian [before Columbus] Mexico, but claims of their widespread ancient use are largely exaggerated and shaped by modern idealization and ideology [3].

Natural occurrence

Natural occurrence. Non-psilocybe species of psilocybin mushroom include Pluteus salicinus, Gymnopilus luteoviridis, and Panaeolus cinctulus, formerly called Panaeolus subbalteatus. In a 2000 review on the worldwide distribution of psilocybin mushrooms... More

(MEMO) During the summer of 2024, horrifying details began to emerge of Jewish-Zionist Israeli occupation forces in Palestine raping Palestinians they had detained.

While revelations from Sde Teiman Prison (detention camp) stirred debates both in Israel and abroad, the use of rape and sexual violence against Palestinians can be traced back to 1948, the year of the Nakba.

Tel Aviv has been using sexual violence like sodomy to torture, coerce, intimidate, and break Palestinians for generations.

Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity

American Jew Rich Forer had a great spiritual awakening. It came after a spiritual journey, daring to question all he had been told growing up. Thanks to Jewish authors who had gone before him, questioning Israel, Zionism, and victimhood, he got to the other side to see Palestine's point of view.

It led him to stop fearing (a form of hate in that both are revulsion or what the Buddha called dosa) anyone who criticized Jews. When his Jewish identity was no longer at stake, he could see things as they really are. He stopped clinging to another Jewish state (the settler colonial project we call "Israel").

• [A "Jewish state" already exists far outside the Middle East. It is called the Jewish Autonomous Oblast (JAO), where all Jews are welcome to resettle, live in peace, and build a great monocultural utopia like many have always dreamed of doing. While we hear about trampling Palestinians, killing or displacing anyone who was already there as a "final solution," most Jews are never told about JAO. Non-Jews never heard of it. Why? No one seems interested in peace, preferring instead to fight, kill, and die on Muslim-Christian-Bedouin-Jewish "holy" land like their forefathers -- since that gets a government subsidy from two sources, the USA and the Jewish diaspora worldwide. So long as JAO exists, what excuse is there to raise a hue and cry about victimhood? The whole rationalization to commit genocide falls apart.]

Israel gets booed at Eurovision, drowned out by chants of "Free Palestine!"

I'm an Israeli refusenik. I won't kill for identity

AUDIO SAMPLE: In the Sanskrit language, maya means "illusion or magic." Maya is at work among people and nations who project carefully crafted positive images of themselves.

The U.S. and Israel are no different from other countries. They claim "self-defense" as they launch aggressive attacks.

They invoke international law when it suits them then ignore it when it doesn’t (providing diplomatic cover for each other in the U.N. Security Council so that no other member can stop them).

Once you awaken, you have to protest the lies and propaganda we have been fed since birth.

.

Transforming fear to compassion

Then there’s always the standard line (lie) about our so-called values that justifies these criminal actions.

Most people don’t have a clue about Israel-Palestine because they depend on heavily biased corporate news coverage in the U.S.

• [Coverage borders on propaganda in Israel, where Qatar's news channel Al Jazeera could not be allowed to continue to exist because it dared to bring a Palestinian perspective live from Gaza that went against the carefully crafted narrative]

Instead, they cling to shopworn myths and fantasies about themselves and their country.
