Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
Open Letter to RFKJr
Dear Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
My name is Jill Susan Kesti. I’m a resident of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and have been a US Citizen since birth. I have two college degrees: a Bachelors in Sociology from the University of Michigan, and an Associate’s Degree from Lansing Community College in Graphic Design.
I run a page called COALITION TO END FORCED PSYCHIATRIC DRUGGING on Facebook. I am writing to you in regards to children school shootings and mass shootings in America. I contend that I, like yourself, am very suspect of knowing what I link together on Facebook as the hashtag .
I am a 49 year old woman who has been presumptively labelled with the “mental disorder” “Bipolar” since 1999 and I have been hospitalized 15 times in the past 26 years.
In 2013 I lost my 12 year job and Graphic Design career due to a hospitalization, recieved Social Security Disability my first application, and used the time I gained to research the “Consumers, Survivors and Ex-Patients of Psychiatry (CSX) Movement” [CSX Movement]. I began to resist the psychiatric bio-medical model I was being treated with and considered that I may not be “mentally ill” after all.
I started to realize that psychiatry was a scam used to sell (I no longer call these drugs “medication”). My years of Marketing and Advertising as a Graphic Designer and over a decade at The Lansing State Journal now combined with the antipsychiatric literature I was now researching. I started to understand these drugs were going to take if I continued. I tapered off all the neurotoxins and went through hell to do so.
Then, on October 31st/November 1st in 2016 I entered a state of extreme emotional distress. I stopped my car on the Houghton Portage Lift Bridge and was going to throw my iPhone and the bearer of bad news into the Canal. I was brought to the ER (Emergency Room) by Police and was forced catheterized (medically r***d). I spent two days in the psychiatric ward 350 miles away, extremely traumatized and in level 10 pain.
After my release, my General Practitioner gave me Baclofen & Prednisone for the back pain I was experiencing from the forced catheterization, drugs that both of which can cause “psychosis”. I again spiralled into extreme emotional distress, resulting in two more weeks at the psychiatric ward in December 2016. My beautiful disabled three-legged cat, Mazzy, died alone while I was incarcerated. I blame the Mental Health System.
Although it was an iatrogenically-caused hospitalization it led to my first “Assisted Outpatient Treatment” (AOT) Court Order to take neurotoxic psychiatric drugs against my will from December 2016 to November 2017. I woke daily to delivery people pounding on my door who watched to make sure I swallowed the drugs. It was a horrific daily invasion of my privacy and caused insurmountable rage within me. Daily.
In August 2017, I started to fight back. I created “Coalition To End Forced Psychiatric Drugging” on Facebook, building 1000’s of memes and a safe space for CSX people to get information. Today there are 6500+ Followers. I researched deeply and created memes daily.
I was in a terrible relationship and ended up in extreme emotional distress (wanting him gone), and was involuntarily hospitalized again in July 2019. An AOT Court Order was once more issued, and I again faced the daily horror of the deliveries and neurotoxic poisoning of my body. It destroyed my chance to have children, and thus completely severed the relationship. I continued to protest on .
In June 2021, my doctor lowered me from 3000mg to 750mg of Depakote OVERNIGHT. I spiralled into Psychiatric withdrawal/rebound psychosis, was handcuffed and taken 500 miles to a psychiatric ward, and spent 26 days locked up.
I lost my eBay business due to banned cell phone use, and my second of three cats, Mr. Larry Lily, alone at home, was unable to be caught and died on 17th July 2021, after I finally rescued him. I spent a year on another AOT Court Order until November of 2022 because of this iatrogenic-caused hospitalization. I continued to protest on .
In August of 2023 I then moved to my hometown of Calumet to try to start a new life.
In February of 2024, I experienced another withdrawal-induced psychosis and spent 3 weeks in the hospital again. I was again put on Court Ordered “Assistant Outpatient Treatment”. When I got home from the hospital I was evicted by my father and forced to move. More trauma. I continued to protest on .
I managed to move back to Ontonagon, Michigan with the CSX Movement Community and friends’ generous help, but I was a ferocious mess, chemically lobotomized by the neurotoxins from February’s hospitalization and I refused to take the Court Ordered drugs.
I ended up in another withdrawal-induced psychosis. In June of 2024 I was taken by the police 600 miles downstate to a psych ward for 3 weeks. Upon release I complied, and the AOT continued until it finally ended without renewal in November of 2024. I continued protesting on .
And I continue to protest to this day.
This letter today is my daily homework for .
To return to my opening paragraph, my passion and driving force in life is to end school shootings. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Michigan in Sociology and I was first psychiatrically hospitalized as a result of breaking psychologically over the Columbine Massacre on 4/20/99.
The neurotoxins ARE playing a significant role in the school shootings. I have in my psychiatric history, had 18 months of severe psychiatric drug withdrawal. After years of ruminations over why school shootings happen, I entered the mind of a shooter during that withdrawal. I am an anti-violence/non-harming person who cannot kill mosquitoes but I felt murderous rage during that time, due to the withdrawal.
However, I truly believe that “forced drugging”and the threat of “forced drugging” is even a more basic driver of these horrific occurences. A kid having severe problems in living is cut off from help. They see in this mental health system. They know they will be “forced drugged” if they ask for help. There IS no other help.
After enduring forced drugging for 8 years, i consider it to be daily torture. The United Nations “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” Treaty and 185 countries agree that it is torture. The US, where you are now head of the HHS, has yet to ratify this very important and accurate Treaty.
That is the reason for this novel. I am asking you to help ratify the CRPD. If the US makes forced drugging (AOT) illegal it will help shift money to programs that do help.
Please do what you can to help ratify this treaty so we can be released from a horrific existance of being forced to injest . This is against my basic human right to bodily autonomy, cognitive liberty, not to mention its entailment of daily privacy violations.
It was $3300 A MONTH for a FORCED shot of Invega (July 2024 Medicaid Report) for me. With that $3300 i could have gotten Real Help with my emotional trauma, back pain, housecleaning, proper nutrition, clean water, and EMDR/talk therapies.
We need help. Not neurotoxic drugging against our will. I appeal to you, sir, to see deeply into this problem. There is a vast database of information on Coalition. I have made 5,000+ memes for the CSX Movement. I would appreciate if you and your office spent some time informing yourself of our views and wishes.

Lastly, I don’t complain unless I have a solution to offer. My idea of an emergency“Safe Space” and long-term housing that is the opposite of a psych ward, with no forced drugging, is being worked on.
I am calling it “Van Gogh House” after Vincent Van Gogh, Dutch Impressionist Painter, who was labeled with “mental illness”. More info is at www.VanGoghHouse.org. I would very much appreciate any government assistance in getting it off the ground.
Yours truly,
Jill Susan Kesti

“Basically what we’re doing is kidnapping people, assaulting them, torturing them, poisoning them and killing them systematically in the name of care. People are quite shocked about that. They think, how is it that a healing profession, a science based healing profession, could be doing this?”
