Dear Alex,
@RealAlexJones
If one were a gentleman with basic manners and understood the history of the suppression of freedom of speech and the mechanisms of slavery, one simply would not act in the way that you and others seem to be acting.
You are far from alone in such actions.
There is a particular moment when a free voice stops being argued with and starts being diagnosed.
It is an unmistakable tell.
The facts are no longer confronted, the reasoning is no longer challenged, and debate gives way to insinuation.
"Something must be wrong with her", they say.
"He is unstable."
"She needs help."
The Old Trick, Reheated: Psychiatry as a Political Weapon
When you suggests that Candace Owens @RealCandaceO has mental-health issues, we are not witnessing a medical opinion. We are watching an ancient political reflex try to reassert itself.
It is the reflex of capture.
This is not disagreement. It is attempted character liquidation.
And worse than that, it is not the behaviour of a gentleman.
From Argument to Asylum - Historically, psychiatry has been the velvet glove over the iron fist of power. When states encounter voices that will not bend, psychiatry is mobilised to do what censorship alone cannot: to delegitimise the speaker, rather than the speech.
The Soviet Union perfected this technique.
Dissidents were not refuted, they were diagnosed with “sluggish schizophrenia,��� a convenient condition whose principal symptom appeared to be disagreement with the state.
The asylum replaced the courtroom. The white coat replaced the black robe. One could be locked away not for being wrong, but for being dangerously correct.
This was not an anomaly. It was method.
Elsewhere, political non-conformity was routinely reframed as psychological deviance. Psychiatry became a bureaucratic solvent, dissolving inconvenient truths into supposed disorders. The pattern is consistent and deeply instructive: when truth threatens power, diagnosis is cheaper than rebuttal.
Western democracies flatter themselves that such crudities belong to history. They do not. They have merely been rebranded.
The modern rebranding - Today, the asylum has been replaced by the smear, the section order by the insinuation, the padded cell by the social-media whisper. The language is softer, the intentions unchanged. “Concern for wellbeing” now does the work once done by iron bars.
To suggest that Candace Owens has mental-health problems is not concern. It is an attempted rhetorical kill-shot. It signals to the audience that her arguments need not be examined.
One may dismiss the ideas by discrediting the mind that holds them.
This is the language of institutions, not of honourable debate.
It is a trick usually reserved for committees, compliance departments, and state-adjacent NGOs. When it appears in supposedly anti-establishment circles, something has gone badly awry.
Capture Is Revealed by Conduct - Capture rarely announces itself.
It reveals itself in tone.
In habits. In the sudden adoption of the very methods one once claimed to oppose.
There was a time when questioning a woman’s sanity in public argument was recognised as coarse and unbecoming.
One might call her mistaken, reckless, even dangerous, but to imply mental instability was understood to be a breach of basic standards of conduct.
A gentleman does not behave this way.
Gentlemanly conduct is not about class or affectation. It is about restraint, proportion, and the refusal to reach for dishonourable weapons when losing an argument.
To accuse an opponent of mental illness is to concede that reason has failed.
It is not courageous. It is mentally lazy.
Psychiatry and Power: A Brief Reminder
Psychiatry’s entanglement with power is not accidental. From its earliest institutional forms, it acquired the authority to define what is “normal,” “acceptable,” and “safe.” That authority has always been tempting to those who govern.
Once such a framework exists, it becomes irresistible. Criminality can be reframed as illness. Dissent as imbalance. Conviction as pathology. The dissenter is no longer wrong, he is unwell.
This manoeuvre is seductive precisely because it bypasses debate. One cannot argue with a diagnosis. One can only submit to it.
Why This Matters Now - Candace Owens represents something profoundly irritating to the managerial class: a coherent, articulate voice that refuses to be managed. She speaks plainly. She does not ask permission.
She does not accept the approved vocabulary.
Such people have always attracted psychiatric suspicion from those who cannot defeat them intellectually.
When figures who claim to oppose authoritarianism begin deploying the same diagnostic language as the authorities, we should take notice. Capture does not always involve money. Sometimes it involves the erosion of standards, the abandonment of good conduct, and the quiet decision that expedience matters more than principle.
The line that must not be crossed - There is a line in civilised discourse. On one side lies disagreement, however fierce. On the other lies dehumanisation. Psychiatry used as insult sits firmly on the wrong side of that line.
To cross it is to admit defeat.
It is also to reveal one’s manners.
A gentleman reaches for facts, logic, wit, or silence. He does not reach for the asylum. He understands that sanity is demonstrated, not proclaimed, and never weaponised.
Final Word - The suggestion that Candace Owens suffers from mental-health issues tells us nothing about her and a great deal about the climate in which such remarks are now made. It is the old authoritarian reflex, lightly polished, deployed by those who ought to know better.
History is unforgiving to those who mistake diagnosis for debate.
And public discourse is poorer for it.
I hope this helps you Alex.
There is so much good work left for you to do. It is a shame to sully your name in this way.
Warmest Regards and a Very Happy Christmas to you and may you receive, all the blessings of the season.
John and Irina Mappin.
@ImMappin
P.S. For those reading this letter who would appreciate simplicity in this matter. Candace is simply seeking clarity over who killed her friend Charlie Kirk, what happened that day and why.
She has some valid questions.
If you can help her get them answered please do so.
You can watch her entire investigation on her U tube Channel.
If you can help her debunk any of the information that is coming to light, please do so.
She would appreciate it.
Just do so politely and with grace, with honesty and with accuracy and we are sure that any disruption that naturally occurs when someone is publicly executed and such a crime is investigated for the truth of what happened, will be kept to a minimum.
N.B. Dont lie.
N.N.B. Don't cover up the lies of others.
I hope this communication is received in the spirit with which it was written.
There are one or two others that might do well to understand this so perhaps you might share it with them too.
Thank You.
Like in the days of Noah, when the floods were rising, Ndindi Nyoro is building an economic ark. His warning: Kenya is borrowing Sh3.5B every single day — and now we’re selling off NSSF’s EAPCC stake and Safaricom shares under suspicious clouds. Ignore him at your own peril!
Breaking news: WE WON!
The Kenya Seed and Plants Varieties Act, which threatened to fine and jail farmers for sharing uncertified seeds, has been declared unconstitutional!
Farmers break into celebration at the offices of Greenpeace Africa, which sponsored the case
I have filed a Constitutional Petition No. E757 of 2025 in the High Court to defend the integrity of Kenya’s presidential election process and to uphold the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
This petition challenges the unconstitutional establishment and operation of the National Tallying Centre during presidential elections, as well as Sections 39, 39(1C), 39(1G) of the Elections Act and Regulation 83(2) of the Elections (General) Regulations.
The Constitution is clear:
✔️ Presidential results are tallied, verified, and declared at the 290 constituencies, and those results are final and binding.
✔️ The role of the @IEBCKenya Chairperson under Article 138(10) is strictly clerical; to add up constituency results and declare the winner.
❌ The Chairperson cannot verify, re-tally, alter, or overturn any constituency result.
❌ No law or regulation may introduce a second layer of verification at county or national level.
Yet, current laws and @IEBCKenya practice unlawfully create a parallel system of verification at the National Tallying Centre, which:
• Treats final constituency results as provisional;
• Enables interference, manipulation, and delays;
• Undermines transparency and fuels mistrust;
• Violates the people’s sovereign will as expressed at the constituency level.
This petition seeks, among other declarations:
🔹 Abolition of the National Tallying Centre as currently constituted;
🔹 Quashing of unconstitutional provisions in the Elections Act and Regulations;
🔹 Immediate public posting of final constituency results at each constituency;
🔹 Removal of illegal verification powers from County Returning Officers and the IEBC Chairperson;
🔹 Restoration of strict compliance with Articles 86 and 138 of the Constitution.
If successful, this petition will fundamentally transform the management of presidential elections from 2027 onwards, ensuring a transparent, decentralised, and constitutionally faithful process with no “Bomas drama” and no ambiguity.
Our democracy must be anchored not on improvised systems, but on the letter and spirit of our Constitution. This petition is part of my continued commitment to defend the rule of law, protect the sovereign will of the people, and secure free, fair, and credible elections.
Do you know how we end up with corrupt leaders?
See what’s happening kwa @4Real_KE
Imagine trying to castigate an incorruptible person because she refuses to do wrong.
Kenyans as at now will evidently not vote for an uncorrupt leader. It would force them to self reflect.
Pain.
Our Corrupt leaders are the SI Unit of who we are.
Donge?
Yet another episode of Art in Corporate Spaces. A perfect team building exercise & little escape from all the seriousness in conferences when things get too intense
The most exciting part, people took the art with them at the end of the event
S/O to @Davemucai for the support.
But we are ready for this conversation. So now that you've mentioned it, let's talk about it. And I want us to go straight to the primary source - the actual main character, as it were.
You have a massive crowd. They've been listening to you talk all day. They're famished.
Imagine you are about to eat with your only son, then police officers show up, ask to go with him.
You ask what he has done, and they tell you he shared a newspaper headline on his Twitter page that someone in government found offensive.
They put your son in handcuffs, without letting him even finish eating and ask you to follow them to Nairobi, for more details.
Somewhere in their journey, your son calls you and asks you to speak with the police not to put in a place he can’t have enough oxygen to breathe because of his medical condition.
When you get to Nairobi, the police tell you to go see the lifeless body of your son in the mortuary!
A son they took from you full of life is being given to you lifeless.
You never had the opportunity to eat the last meal with your son, never had the opportunity to hug him one more time, never had an opportunity to kiss him goodbye.
And you then imagine how your son was killed, the pain he endured at the hands of those who should have protected him, you wonder probably if you had gone with him, arrested together, your son would still be alive!
That is the hell Albert’s father must be going through now.
All these because we have a government led by cold hearted and heartless individuals who will give orders for the killings of other people’s children without any thought.
Can’t we just have normal governments that work to fulfill their election manifestos and don’t have to kill anyone?
The death of Albert is painful, very painful. No government should put any parent through such grief!
@KahigaMuchiri@Mwakisha_Makoko and I recently painted these murals at Olgulului Pri school in Namanga Kajiado as part of a renovation project by @M_Ifoundation
It was an incredible transformation on the ECD block that we hope will inspire greatness in the kids studying there
Natoa machozi mimi 😭
Thread Alert 🚨:
Brace yourselves, Kenyans! I’ve taken a deep dive into the National Audit Report on the newly formed Social Health Authority (SHA). The findings are downright shocking😱—from dubious financing to shady procurement. Stick around for 6 more tweets that expose this #HealthScam! #SHA
My latest work is pen on paper. It was a surprising discovery that I had the skills to execute works with pen as shown in these two artworks. These two are available for purchase.
