Media and Anti-Gun Propaganda

Colorado Movie Theater Shooting: Eye Witness Account

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/colorado-dark-night-shooting-witness-guy-shot-16820698

I do not mean to minimize this awful, unexplainable, bizarre tragedy, but I have to say it:  In the video at the link I posted above, it seems like the eyewitness practiced his monologue about the events and was probably a theater student in high school. It is a very dramatic, and seemingly rehearsed delivery. That does not mean it isn’t genuine, but I found it uncomfortable to watch. It felt like I was in acting class watching a fellow wannabe actor. Maybe he is just an expressive guy. If so, my heart goes out to him and everyone else that had to experience such a horrific, unbelievable, baffling, well-organized brutal massacre.  Or it’s propaganda. I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but this tragedy is being exploited by gun control advocates. We know the globalists don’t want us to have guns, and we know the media is controlled by corrupt globalist corporations, and we know a controversial U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that has met plenty of opposition is set to be signed on July 27. It’s not inconceivable that the man was encouraged to have his story ready and be sure to show emotion. I suppose we’ll never know.

May the victims rest in peace and their families find out the truth about exactly who is behind this, what the motive was, and how it was executed. I just do not buy that this young man did this alone. I do not believe the story we’re being fed, however I will not pretend to know what actually did happen. It’s convenient timing to sway public  support in favor of gun control, and it is a high profile case of a crazy American killing people, playing into the DHS’s hunt for domestic terrorists and criminals. The police state continues to unfold.

Colorado Movie Theater Shooting: Suspect Bought 4 Guns, 6,000 Rounds of Ammunition in Past 60 Days – abcnews.com
A semi-automatic AR-15 was specifically mentioned in the above news report. I just want to say for the record, I weigh a little over a hundred pounds, I don’t strength train, and I can hold and shoot a semi-automatic AR-15 the same as I can hold and shoot a 22 mm rifle. It is not heavy, uncomfortable, or difficult, and has very little kick. There are revolvers out there that would knock me off of my feet, and they are not automatic or semi-automatic weapons. While an AR-15 is certainly just as capable of killing a person as any firearm, it is not a bazooka or machine gun.

Is the demonization of AR 15s stemming from the semi-automatic classification? The news report failed to say that there are military models and civilian models of the rifle. Military models have a three round burst, meaning 3 bullets are released with one pull of the trigger. How many bullets does a civilian semi-automatic AR-15 shoot per pull of the trigger? Just one.

Do you know what other guns are semi-automatic? Most pistols, meaning handguns, are semi-automatic. Semi-automatic pistols shoot the same amount of bullets per pull of the trigger as a revolver, which is not a semi-automatic weapon, as I stated above. How many bullets does it shoot per pull of the trigger? Like the AR-15, just one.  Semi-automatic rifles and semi-automatic pistols are semi-automatic weapons because the bullet automatically loads into the cartridge, not because you can hold down the trigger and waste everyone in the room. The media is taking this misconception and running with it. Spread the truth.

  Now we’re told that a U of Colorado “threat assessment team” was aware of “problems with James Holmes” in June, a month before he committed murder and mayhem in the Aurora theater.

  http://www.ydr.com/nation-world/ci_21213539/?source=hot_topics

  The covert op is unfolding. “Threat assessment team” is a way of claiming that problems Holmes was having are not unique to him; in fact, this is a society-wide problem. Otherwise, why would a threat assessment team exist in the first place?

  And what is the supposed problem? Mental illness. It’s a chronic epidemic.

  The subliminal psyop asserts that derangement is in the nature of the human condition; more specifically, it’s in the nature of the brain.

  “Threat assessment team” becomes a symbol that lets the public know the Batman murders are a symptom of a wider situation. According to the promoted story line, we the people need threat assessment teams, and not just at the U of Colorado.

  The op called the Aurora Massacre isn’t just about taking people’s guns away. It’s about inventing a pressing need for controlling mental illness before it manifests as violence.

  And once that fallacious concept is planted, the psyop pros can not only suggest we have to snitch on “suspicious behavior,” they can demand the government expand threat assessment throughout society in order to make predictions and grab people and “treat” them before they spin out of control and do something horrible.”

• Bloomy clarifies cop ‘strike’ comment (NYDailyNews.com)New York Mayor Bloomberg sparked a negative reaction from Senators, radio hosts, bloggers and editors – (Good post!), and the general public when he stated, “I don’t understand why the police officers across his country don’t stand up collectively and say, ‘We’re going to go on strike. We’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe.After all, police officers want to go home to their families and we’re doing everything we can to make their jobs more difficult.”In the NYDailyNews.com article, City Councilman Jumaane Williams is quoted as saying:

  “I think he said it for dramatic effect, but I’m for doing whatever we need to do to get people’s attention on this issue.” “We may need to have some shock value.”

  “I’m for anything that will get the attention that’s deserved on the gun-violence issue. I get frustrated that it takes something like Aurora or Columbine to get people’s attention to realize there’s a gun issue. There are kids dying at a terrible rate in New York City.”

  The article goes on to say that Bloomberg clarified his comment by saying, “I didn’t mean literally go on strike.” However, NewYorkDaily.com also reports that Bloomberg is still committed to his stance that cops should influence public opinion against “assault weapons.”

TSA To London Olympics: Don’t Worry, We Got This – Forbes

TSA: Don’t worry, we got this (Getty).

With the London Olympics dangerously short on security personnel, organizers have contracted the U. S. Transportation Security Administration to help protect against terrorist attacks during the Games, according to reports late Tuesday.

The news follows a Home Affairs Select Committee hearing where Nick Buckles, head of security firm G4S, admitted his company agreed to provide 10,400 security personnel for the Olympics, but has only hired and trained 4,000.

Congressmen urge the UN to trample the US Constitution – The DailyCaller

By Chris Cox   10:36 AM 07/02/2012

Check out TheDC’s Guns and Gear section for Second Amendment news, gun policy and reviews of the latest guns and gear.

President of the United States, Barack Obama, President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus, Commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, meet at the NATO Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. 20. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“Today begins the most important 26-day period for our Second Amendment freedoms in recent history.

That’s because today, representatives from many of the world’s socialist, tyrannical and dictatorial regimes will gather at United Nations headquarters in New York for a month-long meeting, in which they’ll put the finishing touches on an international Arms Trade Treaty that could seriously restrict your freedom to own, purchase and carry a firearm.

Specifically, the U.N. wants to implement international gun registration requirements, bans on commonly owned firearms, tracking and registration of ammunition purchases, and create a new U.N. gun control bureaucracy.

You might think that something so obviously menacing to one of our enumerated fundamental rights would receive a strong rebuke from our top government leaders. But you’d be wrong. This is President Barack Obama’s vision for America, and we’re expected to just go along with it.

In fact, a group of anti-gun members of the U.S. House of Representatives, led by U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), went so far as to circulate a letter last week to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, in which they “strongly urge the United States to take a leadership role in pushing for a strong, verifiable Arms Trade Treaty.”

These House members insist that the treaty include “controls on a comprehensive list of weaponry, including small arms and light weapons,” as well as controls on ammunition. For good measure, they wrap their unconstitutional demands in the mantle of advancing “human rights” and preventing international violence.

Since when did it become fashionable for sitting members of Congress to lobby international thugs, tyrants and dictators against our own U.S. Constitution?

Rep. Grijalva should consider the plight of good people in countries like the Sudan, where it’s virtually impossible for an average citizen to legally own a firearm for self-defense.

He, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should open their eyes to the unspeakable human rights atrocities that exist in their gun-ban utopia. They ought to see how far their gun-confiscation agenda resonates with hundreds of thousands of defenseless Sudanese men, women and children who live in constant fear of being beaten, raped, sold into slavery or murdered.

It’s easy for Congressmen Raul Grijalva, James McGovern, Bobby Rush, Dennis Kucinich and every other signer of this woefully ignorant letter to sit on high — surrounded by the secure walls of freedom built by our strong Second Amendment rights — and dictate to oppressed citizens in other parts of the world that their lives would be better if they only had less freedom than we do in the United States.

Thankfully, these clueless representatives don’t speak for the majority of us. The NRA has been warning Americans about this ticking time bomb at the U.N. for over 15 years. Now it’s zero hour. Wayne LaPierre and I will be at U.N. headquarters in New York this week, fighting tooth and nail to protect the same constitution that Raul Grijalva and his pals swore an oath to uphold and defend.

And I can promise you, we won’t stop fighting until our Second Amendment freedoms are safe from this international disgrace.

Chris W. Cox is the Executive Director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) and serves as the organization’s chief lobbyist.”

Kenyan Muslims team up to protect Christians | The Raw Story.

Americans have been told so many lies about Islam. I have a female friend who converted. The things she has told me are far different than what the media has sold us. She is not controlled by her husband, or beat, or told what she can and cannot do. Americans, we have been manipulated to make us hate innocent people. We are all brothers and sisters, and we the people need to come together worldwide. We are all being controlled and killed by the same forces. Global governance, The New World Order, is here, revealing itself, announcing their plans and tightening their grip on the civilians of the world. We all have a common enemy. We must resist.

NOW is the Time. The Time is NOW.

Rooftop guardians: UK confirms apartment blocks to host missiles as part of Olympic defenses – The Washington Post.

When are people going to wake up and realize that something big is expected to happen? Things are NOT okay. We are at a pivotal point in history. The world powers across the globe are making similar changes, accelerating the implementation of the same policies, embracing new treaties and reaffirming commitment to existing treaties and global initiatives. Across the world, governments are stressing preparedness, and taking extreme, seemingly unnecessary precautions and defense measures in the name of safety and the supposed increased risk for disasters(pdf).

Twitter: We Comply with 63% of Government Requests – Mashable.com

Twitter: We Comply with 63% of Government Requests | Mashable.com.

Twitter released its first transparency report Monday — but the takeaway may not have been exactly what the company hoped for.

The report focused on several matters relating to users’ freedom to post what they want: how frequently governments around the world ask for Twitter users’ account details; how often Twitter complies with those requests; and how many copyright complaints it receives and grants to content-owning companies.

Twitter has responded to requests for 1,181 users’ information thus far in 2012, the report reveals. The vast majority of those were inside the U.S. Overall, in 63% of cases, some form of user info was handed over. (In U.S. cases, that rose to 75%.)

The company was at pains to point out that it informs users when they’ve been asked to hand over details, except where prohibited by law. It also trumpeted the fact that it has acceded to no government requests for outright censorship of tweets. (Law enforcement in five countries asked for that.)
