New York’s Silent Purge- How 580,000+ Citizens Lost Constitutional Rights Without Notice
By
In a country where constitutional rights are fiercely debated, few stories expose government overreach like this one. At least 580,000 citizens have been secretly stripped of their constitutional and human rights. Their crime? Seeking medical care in New York State, often for something as common as anxiety or depression, and in at least one case, seeking care and counseling after a sexual assault.
At the heart of this unfolding legal battle is Theresa Krenzer, a New Yorker who has found herself at the center of a lawsuit that could shake the very foundation of the state’s gun control policies. She didn’t ask for this fight-but after a decade of government lies, false reports, and violent state retaliation, she has no choice.
Now, her case, Krenzer vs. Wilkins, is pushing back against what plaintiffs call a for-profit disarmament scheme-one that has cost innocent citizens their rights, their businesses, and in some cases, their freedom- and she has filed as a Class Representative of the 580,000+ others that the New York Disarmament Regime has irreparably harmed without notice or due process.
NY’s Secret Disarmament Program
Under New York SAFE Act, its Office of Mental Health (OMH) established a reporting system where hospitals and doctors are required to report patients who pose a threat to themselves or others. But according to lawsuits now hitting federal courts, the system has been manipulated by the shadowy “Office of NICS Appeals & SAFE Act” to falsely classify innocent citizens as “involuntarily committed” to mental institutions-thereby blocking them from legally purchasing or owning firearms, and actively blocking them from restoring their rights when the abuse is discovered.
The scale is staggering: Over 580,000 New Yorkers have been admitted by state doctors as wrongfully reported as “involuntarily committed to a mental institution” to boost the state’s FBI NICS reporting numbers. Even more shocking? The state received at least $13 million in federal kickbacks for adding these names to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), eroding any claims these unlawful acts were done in the name of public safety. And though New York State is clearly the worst offender, the numbers suggest other states might also engage in similar rights-for-profit corruption:
In 2005, the NICS Index contained approximately 233,676 mental health records nationwide.
By April 30, 2024, the total number of mental health records in the NICS Index had increased to over 7 million.
Across 50 states increased reporting over 20 years, the New York regime has single handedly added at least 8.25% of the NICS Index through fraud.
As the US AG was directed by the president to investigate all laws and policies violating the second amendment rights of the people, this story of systemic abuse is an obvious place for her to start:
In McKay vs New York, a misreported nurse exposed the OMH’s Voluntary NICS Misreporting scheme, which was admitted to by a state doctor.
In Richey vs Sullivan, represented by Amy Bellantoni, a misreported veteran exposed some of the names of the secretive Office of NICS Appeals and SAFE Act who denied him repair of his rights including Li-Wen Grace Lee M.D, Carmen Barber Esq, and Tony Trahan, Deputy Director OMH Consumer Affairs.
In Susman vs Sullivan, also represented by spitfire attorney Bellantoni, a misreported FBI agent exposed the scheme to the nation through mainstream media coverage.
Krenzer vs Wilkins is the case that speaks for the Class of all those affected, laying the fascistic brutality of the system bare with how it treats NY’s most at-risk:
Theresa’s Story: SA Survivor Turned Enemy of the State
In 2013, Theresa Krenzer did what any survivor of sexual assault is told to do: she went to the doctor for medical care. She was never committed to a mental institution, never deemed a threat to herself or others. And yet that Voluntary visit for basic care services was used as the basis for a secret state report falsely labeling her as ‘involuntarily committed’ and stripping her right to self defense.
Theresa is a licensed hunter in NY, and has owned firearms since her mid teens learning to hunt with the family to provide meat for the table. But as she did not have a pistol permit, she was never notified or offered due process by the OMH. She never knew about it- until nearly a decade later, when it destroyed her life.
On 1/20/2022, NYOMH Legislative Coordinator Charles Vaas was contacted by the Democrat’s “Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns” Christopher Bonham, who requested a statement that Theresa had been “involuntarily committed” in 2013 as evidence for a warrant to raid and prosecute her. Vaas provided this fraudulent statement without hesitation and “in the normal course of business”, violating OMH’s Fiduciary Duty to do no harm to its patients.
On 1/27/22, Holocaust Remembrance Day, armed Task Force officers used an FGLK freight train to kettle trap and kidnap Theresa and her partner after calling them into their gunshop for a “Final Inspection”. While innocents were interrogated and unlawfully imprisoned, they raided her home and legally operated gun shop, unlawfully seizing shop inventory and her personal belongings. Prosecutors hit Theresa and her partner with 116 felony charges in Ontario County Court (and her partner with many more felony accusations in an ATF kangaroo hearing focused on her mental health) accusing her of being “mentally ill”, a “Russian asset”, a “drug dealer”, a “militia leader” and more. She was threatened with subsequent arrest if she operated her business while court transpired. On 8/18/2022, Task Force agent Kyle Wilkins, who helped concoct the Mental Health accusations and was leading the ATF case against her shop, dispatched an ATF/NYSP SWAT team to drag Theresa out of her home without a warrant and force her and her partner to sign paperwork promising not to sue the agents for Iying under threat of “immediate arrest” and “10 years imprisonment.”
“New York turned my life into a nightmare,” Theresa says, “All because I went to the doctor after being sexually assaulted.”
Built entirely on lies, the case against her has since fallen apart spectacularly- on 2/14/23 Wilkins, Bonham and their Task Force were found to have violated 210.35 Sworn False Statements to the Grand Jury in the 2nd Degree to Unlawfully Indict her and she was found Exempt to all counts under the shops FFL08/AECA licenses. But the damage was done. She lost her business and livelihood, her financial stability, her IVF treatments, her ability to participate in her religious and competitive activities, her reputation, her peace and security, and now nearly a decade of her life fighting a false label placed on her without her knowledge or due process without a drop of real Justice. In 2024, she was pulled over in Kentucky and searched, informed that NYSP had marked her plates as “gang affiliated” after being found guilty of 210.35. The corrupt disarmament regime of NY refuses to repair Theresa’s rights and damages or even return the property they stole, instead determined to increase damages. In fact, Task Force leader AG Letitia James stepped in to defend her criminal employees’ interference in interstate commerce and rights violations when the workers union filed its lawsuit.
Instead of disappearing quietly, Theresa is determined to lead the charge against the system that did this to her and hundreds of thousands of others as Class Representative.
The Legal Battle That Could Change Everything
Now, Krenzer vs. Wilkins, alongside cases McKay vs. New York, Richey vs. Sullivan, and Susman vs. Sullivan, aims to expose New York’s unconstitutional disarmament program and demand justice for its victims.
Susman vs. Sullivan recently drew national attention after an FBI agent was denied a firearm purchase due to the same secret reporting system. The government can ignore ordinary citizens-but when one of their own gets caught in the net, it becomes a story.
Plaintiffs argue that cases like these prove what they’ve been saying all along: New York’s gun control laws have nothing to do with keeping dangerous people from obtaining weapons. Instead, they’re being used as a political tool to disarm working-class people en masse.
And if New York gets away with it? Well, New York bills itself as the model of “gun control” all other blue states should follow…
Conclusion: A De Facto Digital Internment Camp
A false mental health flagging system affecting at last 580,000+ people functions as a soft internment camp- stripping gun rights, voting rights, medical freedom, parental rights, and employment opportunities without ever placing people in physical detention centers. This is the modern equivalent of “civil death.”
“Civil death” refers to the complete or near-total loss of legal rights and social standing due to government action. Historically, this meant losing the right to own property, vote, or engage in contracts. In modern times, NY’s mass false reporting of mental illness operates as a de facto form of civil death, stripping individuals of key rights without trial or criminal conviction.
Civil death was historically used to punish traitors, convicts, and political enemies by rendering them legally nonexistent:
Ancient Rome – “Capitis deminutio maxima” stripped individuals of citizenship and legal protections.
Medieval Europe – Outlawry declared individuals outside the law, meaning they could be killed without consequence.
Colonial America – Certain crimes resulted in civil death, barring convicts from owning land, voting, or testifying in court.
Jim Crow Era – Black Americans faced civil death through disenfranchisement, false criminalization, and economic suppression. The Pig Laws (1870s-1940s) made minor infractions felonies to strip voting rights and force Black men into unpaid labor.
USSR – The KGB used false psychiatric diagnoses (“Sluggish Schizophrenia”) to imprison political dissidents in psychiatric hospitals.
Fascist Spain – Franco’s regime used a mix of economic oppression, political blacklisting, and legal restrictions to destroy opposition. Francoist Spain declared leftists and women’s rights activists as mentally unstable to justify imprisonment and institutionalization. Women demanding political rights were diagnosed with “feminine hysteria” and forcibly committed. Men with socialist or anarchist beliefs were labeled as “mentally unfit” and denied jobs, marriage licenses, and passports.
Fascist Italy – Benito Mussolini’s fascist state used psychiatric hospitals to erase opponents from society, branding them as insane instead of imprisoning them. Women resisting fascist rule were labeled “hysterical” and forcibly institutionalized, where Electroshock therapy and lobotomies were commonly used. Dissidents were committed to “manic asylums” (ospedali psichiatrici) under the pretext of mental instability. The government declared anarchists and communists “psychopaths” suffering from delusions.
Nazi Germany – The Nazi regime weaponized psychiatry to erase entire populations, both politically and racially. The T-4 Euthanasia Program labeled political and social “undesirables” as mentally ill to justify their institutionalization or execution. “Political insanity” diagnoses were used to imprison dissidents in psychiatric hospitals, where they were forcibly drugged, experimented on, or killed. Soviet POWs and Resistance fighters were declared mentally unfit and sent to concentration camps or psychiatric facilities instead of prisons.
The Nuremberg Laws (1935) stripped Jewish people, Romani, communists, and other groups of citizenship, property, and employment. Civil death was the precursor to genocide, making it easier to imprison and execute people who had already been stripped of their rights.
Fascist South Africa – The apartheid state used legal disenfranchisement, travel restrictions, education restrictions and employment bans to create a second-class citizenry and weaponized psychiatry to silence anti-apartheid resistance, institutionalizing activists as “mentally unfit.” Anti-apartheid activists could be banned from speaking publicly, publishing, or meeting in groups, rendering them socially dead. The apartheid regime used psychiatry to suppress political dissent while maintaining a “legal” framework for detainment without trial.
Fascist Peru – The Peruvian government under Alberto Fujimori used anti-terror laws, blacklists, and forced sterilizations to eliminate Indigenous and leftist opposition. The government created fake psychiatric diagnoses to declare left-wing activists mentally unfit. Hundreds of Indigenous leaders resisting land seizures were diagnosed as mentally unstable and institutionalized. Suspected leftists were detained in psychiatric hospitals instead of prisons. Many were subjected to forced sterilization under the guise of “mental health treatment.”
Fascist Argentina – The U.S.-backed military junta carried out mass arrests combining psychiatric detainment with forced disappearances, and the economic suppression with over 30,000 Desaparecidos abducted, tortured, and murdered by the government. Pregnant political prisoners were executed after birth, their babies were illegally adopted by military families. Activists who survived detention were often dismissed as mentally unstable by the government.
Fascist Brazil – The Brazilian dictatorship used mass arrests, bureaucratic erasure, and torture to suppress Indigenous and leftists workers, its military fabricating fake suicide reports for political prisoners who had been tortured to death. The dictatorship weaponized psychiatry to eliminate and discredit political opposition, and dissidents were frequently diagnosed with “subversive psychopathy” or “political delirium”. Leftist families were systematically excluded from jobs, travel, and legal protection, forcing many into exile or underground resistance.
Fascist Chile – Pinochet’s government used the “Political Enemy” Designation to torture, exile, murder and blacklist Leftists, labor organizers, Indigenous Mapuche people, and dissidents. Dissidents were detained under the pretense of needing “mental health treatment for radicalization.” Many were forcibly medicated or subjected to lobotomies to render them harmless. The names of the murdered were erased from official records, leaving families without legal proof of death or ability to claim inheritance, pensions, or property. Survivors of state torture were often labeled as insane to discredit their testimonies in legal cases against the government.
Fascist and authoritarian regimes across the world have systematically used false psychiatric diagnoses to strip civil rights, detain opponents, and enforce social death. Now comes New York’s Digital Civil Death, through Mass False Reporting of Mental Illness!
NY’s sly system of civil death mirrors that of larger Mass Incarceration & Felon Disenfranchisement in the U.S. Over 5 million felons in the U.S. are barred from voting, owning guns, and working in many industries. Once labeled a felon, many are permanently cut off from housing, education, and jobs. A government falsely marking 580,000+ people as “involuntarily committed” creates a modern system of civil death by:
a. Stripping Legal Rights: Loss of gun rights, voting, employment, and legal standing.
b. Economic Erasure: Banning individuals from jobs, licenses, and financial independence.
c. Social and Medical Control: Preventing access to medical care, restricting travel, and flagging individuals in background checks.
d. Digital Internment: Individuals may be unable to contest or even discover the false report, making it nearly impossible to restore their rights.
Key Consequences of Digital Civil Death:
1. Loss of Second Amendment Rights (Permanent Disarmament)
The federal government uses mental health commitments to strip firearms rights under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4). False records effectively confiscate guns without a crime being committed or due process. This creates a blacklist that easily disarms politically targeted individuals.
This decade long de facto gun confiscation scheme-disarming over half a million people without due process-is responsible for fraudulently reporting 8.25% of the names that make up the total 2024 NICS Index.
2. Retaliation for First Amendment Expression – Freedom of Speech, Association, Assembly and Religion
People falsely labeled as mentally ill could face restrictions on speech, especially if they express dissenting views, as seen in the Krenzer case.
Some states impose limitations on public assembly or restrictions on religious leadership for those with mental health commitments.
3. Loss of Fourth Amendment Protection Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures
Being falsely labeled as “involuntarily committed” creates justification for red flag laws, forced confiscation of property (guns, personal items), forced detainment and even unlawful imprisonment.
Criminals acting under color of law can and have used these false reports as probable cause to conduct unlawful home and business raids and seizures, as evident in the Krenzer case.
4. Loss of Fifth & Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection
The Fifth Amendment protects against deprivation of liberty without due process of law. Systemic false reporting bypasses judicial review and illegally strips rights without hearings or evidence.
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law-falsifying mental health records to deprive certain citizens of rights creates a two-tiered system of citizenship.
5. Loss of Sixth & Seventh Amendment Rights to a Fair Trial
The Sixth Amendment guarantees a fair trial, but mass false reporting with no notice or due process deprives citizens of their ability to defend themselves against the state’s involuntary commitment claims.
The Seventh Amendment guarantees trial by jury in civil cases, yet falsely reported individuals are given no way to contest their status in court.
These issues are compounded by the OMH’s secretive Office of NICS Appeals and SAFE Act being used as a tool to deny redress of affected citizens rights, as seen in the Richey vs Sullivan case.
6. Loss of Ninth Amendment Rights Retained by the People
The Ninth Amendment protects unenumerated rights, including medical privacy, bodily autonomy, and self-defense-all violated when the state falsely labels people as “involuntarily committed to a mental institution” or “adjudicated mentally deficient”. In many ways, these labels share the exact effects of felony conviction.
7. Voter Suppression (De Facto Disenfranchisement)
Many states prohibit voting for individuals deemed “mentally incompetent.”
False mental health records create a backdoor method of voter suppression, disproportionately targeting activists, dissidents, and marginalized communities.
Once flagged, there is no clear legal path to restore voting rights, unlike felons who can sometimes reapply.
8. Total Financial and Employment Suppression
Many jobs require background checks that flag mental health commitments.
Professions requiring security clearances, professional licenses, or firearm ownership (law enforcement, military, gunshops, private security, banking, aviation, etc.) become permanently off-limits.
In Theresa’s case, the state was found guilty of fabricating 58 felony charges against her and refuses to return the property it stole or repair damages to her business, pushing her to the edge of homelessness not able to work and pay rent even after being found innocent.
9. Medical Control & Forced Psychiatric Interventions
HIPAA laws prohibit the falsification or wrongful disclosure of medical records, meaning NY’s systemic actions constitute a massive violation of medical privacy.
Falsely classifying someone as mentally ill can prevent access to necessary healthcare, insurance, and wrongful medical decision-making.
False psychiatric records could bar individuals from critical surgeries, medications, or treatments due to insurers and providers flagging them as unstable. Individuals could be forcibly medicated, detained, or subjected to guardianship.
10. Travel Bans & International Restrictions
Some countries deny visas or entry to individuals with a history of mental health commitments.
Airlines and transportation agencies could restrict travel if flagged individuals are deemed a “risk.”
Passports or firearm transport permits could be revoked or denied.
11. Family Separation & Parental Rights Termination
Courts use false “involuntary commitment” reports to deny custody and parental rights, meaning falsely labeled individuals could lose their children.
Child Protective Services (CPS) could seize children under pretense of parental instability.
Adoption and foster care agencies may permanently disqualify falsely reported individuals.
In Theresa’s case, the unlawful seizure of her interstate commerce and malicious prosecution upended the IVF treatments she had begun in 2021 as an economically stable business owner. All hopes for such medical assisted treatment dashed with OMH Charles Vaas’ ready assistance.
12. Permanent Digital Blacklisting
Once marked as mentally ill, individuals are permanently entered into national databases, including:
NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) – Blocking firearm purchases.
State and Federal Medical Registries – Flagging individuals as mentally unfit for employment.
FBI and DHS Watchlists – Potential placement on no-fly lists or domestic terrorism monitoring lists.
How Civil Death Becomes a Weapon of Political and Social Control
When weaponized, civil death allows a government to neutralize opposition without trials, evidence, or direct confrontation. False mental health reporting creates a society where citizens are imprisoned digitally, economically, and socially-without ever being put behind bars. A person who is banned from voting, working, traveling, or owning property is no freer than a person in a prison cell. This strategy has been used historically against activists, dissidents, and marginalized groups by some of the most repressive regimes to marr human history.
Krenzer’s Call to Action
For Theresa, this fight isn’t about politics-it’s about survival.
“This is bigger than me,” she said. “This is about hundreds of thousands of people who’ve lost their rights without even knowing it. I have to fight for them.”
“This is about fascism and organized crime in America, regardless of which political party is committing it. The state is using these false reports to abduct citizens who use speech or exercise constitutional rights they don’t like. The NY regime sent a freight train for me on Holocaust Remembrance Day and accused me of insanity and being a ‘dangerous communist aligned with the sovereign citizens movement’ in court, like we are knee deep into Kristallnacht nazi territory and someone has to stand up.”
Krenzer remains hopeful: “I can’t do this alone, though. If you’re reading this, I need you. Please make noise. Please get involved. ‘We’ is so much stronger than ‘me.'”
Her union members have already prepared class-action paperwork, but legal battles like this require something even more powerful than legal knowledge: public pressure.
If this case wins, it won’t just restore rights for those who were wrongfully stripped of them-it will expose a massive state-run fraud operation and set a national precedent for due process. But that only happens if people pay attention.
If you believe in due process-regardless of where you stand on gun rights-this case matters. Share it. Talk about it. Demand accountability. Because if the government can take rights away from 580,000 people in secret, what’s stopping them from coming for you next?
