"Criminal Minds" FEEBS, Shrinks, and the Memphis Mad-Woman Killer

After a long courtroom dogfight, the Tennessee Star obtained the diary ("manifesto") of the woman who killed several children and adults in a Christian school.  The FBI's "Behavioral analysis unit" objected to releasing the "manifesto".  

That unit is the basis for the "Criminal Minds" teeeveee drama; needless to say, "Criminal Minds" is a drama-worship of the FEEBS, as are all the other "FBI" shows on TeeeeVeeee.  The FBI's tactic of getting worshipful treatment from TeeeeVeee people has been in use since J Edgar Hoover started using it to deflect attention from his homosexual vice.

Anyhow, as McCain reports, the FBI ordered a coverup of the "manifesto" along with a lot of other evidence.

...The Tennessee Star has obtained the FBI memo sent to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) on May 11, 2023 from a source familiar with the Covenant killer investigation.
The letterhead and heading used for the memo indicate it originated at the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group in Quantico, Virginia. The opening paragraphs reveal it was sent by the FBI’s Behavioral Threat Assessment Center (BTAC), the home of the FBI’s Behavorial Analysis Unit (BAU-1). The memo was not signed....

 “As has been publicly acknowledged, the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit has assisted in this Homicide investigation,” Aaron told The Star.

“Any material related to that assistance that is part of the open case file is protected. As I referenced earlier today, our Homicide team is working to bring this matter to a conclusion,” Aaron added.
Addressed to Metro Police Chief John Drake, the memo “strongly discourages” MNPD from releasing “legacy tokens” left by a mass murderer.

The FBI memo explains those who commit mass shootings “often leave behind items to claim credit for the attack and / or articulate the motivation behind it.” The agency “refers to these items as legacy tokens.”

The term “legacy token” appears to be a creation of the FBI. A June 2018 FBI document studying pre-attack behaviors of active shooters defines “legacy tokens” as “a communication prepared by the offender to claim credit for the attack and articulate the motives underlying the shooting.” . . .

Even more disturbing than the FBI's "top secret" attempt is this:

... Among the revelations this week, we learned that Hale had been a “patient of mental health professionals at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC)” since she was six years old!....

Heckuva Job, Vanderbilt!!

We will never know why the FBI wanted to keep Hale's "manifesto" a secret.  But it seems that Vanderbilt--and the psychiatry/therapy crowd--had excellent reasons to bury the case.

 J Edgar Hoover's closet and the shrink/therapist community have something in common, and it's not a good thing.
