Apologies for Lack of Activity

I truly apologize for not updating this website recently. I recently started a new job, and well, you know how that goes. I do plan on getting back to my commentary eventually, so please do check back on occasion to see what is new. I am keeping very abreast to what is going on in the world. I recommend you do the same. Stay educated.

Okay, so not only have I failed to keep this site up to date because of my new job. I also have failed because I am still regrouping. I have to. So much has changed. The landscape of our nation, once seeming so solid or at least partly so, so solidly grounded in the earth, appears to have lifted itself off and into some kind of strange ethereal mist that I am having trouble grabbing onto. Sounds a little wacky? Not really, not when you consider the indigestion that has occured from some of the flimsiest and most absurd propaganda that is being rammed down our throats on a daily basis: The disgusting Sotomayer, the bailouts, the H1N1 virus, the possibility of forced vaccinations - and worst and certainly not least the complete apathy and ignorance of the American people. We are losing this battle for our freedom because we don't know or see that it has already gone.

Anyway, take care, be safe and I will be back soon enough when I am ready.

National Geographic: A Mom Who Kills is a Mom Who Loves

First, a little bit about National Geographic and its friends.

National Geographic, whose “Green” building was awarded in 2004 by Gorbachev’s Green Cross International Environmental foundation,  has funded and supported men like Jacques Yves Cousteau, worshipper of the sea and preacher to mankind who once said:

“In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 per day.”

Charming. He also proclaimed that

“The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.”

Jane Goodall is another National Geographic -sponsored environmentalist who is not love with the sea, like Cousteau, but has a great deal of deep feelings for the chimpanzee:

Chimpanzees have given me so much. The long hours spent with them in the forest have enriched my life beyond measure. What I have learned from them has shaped my understanding of human behavior, of our place in nature.

Incidentally, Goodall is a patron saint of the Optimum Population Trust, a U.K. group that concerns itself with population growth issues, climate change and biodiversity. Probably the organization’s most infamous excretion was their public announcement that children are “bad for the planet”. They are more a septic tank than they are a thinking one.

Environmentalists like Cousteau and Goodall use their interpretation of nature and their so-called “love” for it as a sheath by which to conceal their true motives. To the general public, they appear on wildlife shows and they speak in iambic pentameter about their love for animals and their awe for the beauty of the earth. The sheeple stand in awe of their awe and regard the environmentalists as the ultimate expression of love on the planet. Now, if anyone even suggests that they don’t agree with the environmentalists about the sanctity of life, about global warming, about Al Gore’s IQ, they will be accused of being hate mongers and killers of the earth.

However, the environmentalists’ true motives are not born of any kind of love whatsoever. On the contrary, they are born out of a distinct hatred for the human being coupled with a lust for power that goes beyond that which most people are able to recognize. These self-ordained priests of pantheism generally see mankind as a creature that goes against their sacred earth, their Gaia, their personal ideals.

For example, look at Dr. Phillip S. Chua and his howling at the moon:

Our planet would be at an imminent grave risk of being destroyed, if Global Warming, more appropriately termed Climate Change, continues unabated. And like the multitudes of problems threatening the world, this major one is caused by its intelligent inhabitant, man himself, and his careless and irresponsible behavior, especially in the last two hundred some years. Human beings are not new to self-abuse, self-destruction, and to irreverence to his environment, in spite of their education, culture, and massive data in this age of exploding informational technology and mind-boggling advances in science and medicine.  - Dr. Chua

These guys and gals are a dime a dozen. They all spout the same claptrap ad nauseum.  They even have Hollywood idiots sniffing their behinds and wagging their green little tails. Who knows why these people are the way they are. Beat up in high school? Spoiled and coddled overmuch by their parents? They want to get even with Johnny who made fun of them on the school bus? Who knows. Who cares.

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, is another devil that is honored today by the idiot sheeple and their masters. She was a eugenicist and a racist pure and simple. Check out this video to see how the Smugsonian Institute honored this despicable creature of a woman:

”Eugenics: belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, esp. by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having a genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits.

Goodall, like Sangar, announced her mission to create a world. This is how ARROGANT these people are. They believe they are gods.

My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature.

Now I am of the belief that mankind is made in the image of God who ALREADY create the GOOD world, even though His good is NOT in the image of environmentalists, who teach that we ought to learn our life lessons from the beasts of the earth instead of God Himself and the Ten Commandments.

Now what is the religion today that most vociferously supports the man-is-beast thesis? That would be of course Satanism.  I will leave the rest up to you to research.

The Satanic-funding National Geographic has recently posted a "wholesome" piece called "Mother's Day Mayhem:  5 "Worst" Animal Moms. Notice the quotation marks around the word "Worst" . This is because, as you read the article, its will try to teach you that although these animal mommies either eat their young or allow them to be killed by their siblings, they are not really all that bad because, in the end, these cute little fuzzy mommies care more about the survival of the species, rather than the survival of their own kids. They are much more like Jane Goodall or Margaret Sanger who really CARE about the WORLD.

For each of the five animals there is a section that starts with "Give mom a break because...". This is where NG teaches us how it is actually a good thing that mom kills some of her babies. After all, quality control is a desirable thing.

"One robust offspring is probably better than two weak ones later on," he said, "so the quality control occurs early on when it's cheap—before you've invested lots of resources."

Wow! Eugenics is a not only good for the goddess Earth, it is also good for the ECONOMY!

Remember that sweet little hamster you used to love as a kid? Well he is also a eugenicist who undrestands the economic dangerous of population growth:

Forbes believes hamster moms practice "parental optimism" by creating broods bigger than they may be able to rear.
"They don't know how much food is going to be out there," he said. "They create a litter with a few spare offspring to ensure high-quality young even if [food is scarce] or there are developmental defects in others."

The purpose of this whole piece really hits home with the last line:

As is often the case with apparent neglect among animals, Mom may not be minding the kids, but she does seem to be looking out for the species.

The New World Order has already begun the process of getting us used to the idea that abortion (late term and early term) is a good thing for the SPECIES and that doing so IS NATURAL. They want future mankind to be a numb and loveless drone that could actually kill its own species IF it could be convinced that it is economically or physiologically or psychologically healthy to do so. They also want sheeple to worship nature and the animals. After all, your hamster seems to be better at child rearing than you are right?

The philosophy of the eugenicists and the New World Order fascists is that nature is god and has the last word in regards to what is right and wrong.  The State must simply be a reflection of this. This is what is being taught in philosophy departments, either explicitly or implicitly like this sneaking self-satisfied National Geographic hit piece on the anti-abortion movement.

Magazines like NG are simply there to put a happy face on abortion and population control. They are going to continue to pump these ideas into our children until they squeeze every last bit of humanity out of them. If parents are not careful their kids will become victims of this relentless propaganda machine that was created by madmen and people who perceive global warming only because they are colder than ice.

Politics and “Conspiracy Theories”: It’s Not What You are Seeing

"To you, the bold searchers, researchers, and whoever embarks with cunning sails on terrible seas--to you, drunk with riddles, glad of twilight, whose soul flutes astray to every whirlpool, because you do not want to grope along a thread with cowardly hand; and where you can guess, you hate to deduce." - Nietzsche

In the beginning of Book I of his Histories, Herodotus, the first Greek historian, tells us the story of how King Gyges became ruler of Lydia.  The function of the story in the context of Herodotus’ history is to offer the reader an insight into the nature of political knowledge as Herodotus saw it. Political knowledge is not like any other kind of knowledge available to mankind and that is because political knowledge somehow involves having a certain kind of wisdom and comprehension of human nature, both the external and obvious characteristics, as well as the more subterranean and concealed ones. Without this kind of wisdom, political insight is actually quite impossible. Now most people who suggest that there is a subterranean and concealed government behind the known or public government are considered to be conspiracy nuts or whackos. I have had it up to HERE with this propaganda. People who don’t get their news from MSNBCCBSNBCFOXNEWS are somehow liars or misinformed. People who look behind the crap sandwich that is delivered daily at our door are somehow misinformed??? I’d say at the very least that they have good TASTE. I guess I will have to pull out Einstein in order to give our conspiracy nuts a little less nuttiness in the eyes of those who will AT LEAST listen to a genius of science.

Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of other people is even in the best case rather paltry and monotonous. There are only a few enlightened people with a lucid mind and style and with good taste within a century. What has been preserved of their work belongs among the most precious possessions of mankind. We owe it to a few writers of antiquity (Plato, Aristotle, etc.) that the people in the Middle Ages could slowly extricate themselves from the superstitions and ignorance that had darkened life for more than half a millennium. Nothing is more needed to overcome the modernist's snobbishness. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

Back to Herodotus, our inquiring mind of antiquity. The tale Herodotus tells is quite simple – almost the stuff of a child’s storybook. It begins at the time when Candaules was king of Lydia and Gyges was his right hand man. Now Candaules believed that his wife, the queen, was the most beautiful woman in the world. Unable to contain this secret and hidden knowledge from public view, he demanded (in the form of a request) that Gyges see her naked. Gyges, knowing that such a sight would have tremendous consequences, resisted as he tried to convince Candaules that such a deed was a bad idea. However, tyrants being tyrants, “no” was not an answer and Gyges prepared to sneak into the queens boudoir to watch her reveal what is not to be revealed to the public. Gyges was then to slip out of the room, unnoticed. Well, the plan succeeded, with the exception of the unnoticed part.  In the end, the queen let Gyges know that he has two possible courses: either kill Candaules and become king, or kill himself. Gyges chose to become king of Lydia. He ended up paying gold as tribute to the Delphic treasury. They in turn certified his reign by declaring that his rule was ordained by the gods. The people welcomed him because the Delphic gods told them too. Revolution was avoided and the people were kept at bay.

When we try to understand politics and the history of politics, we must keep in mind that there are two different types of knowledge. The first type is public knowledge. Public knowledge is like the clothes of the queen. Everyone can see them and comment on them. People can argue about whether or not they are beautiful or ugly. The knowledge is usual trivial and/or unimportant entertainment. The clothes can always change every day with either little or no real consequence. Plato identified this kind of knowledge as being “opinion” or a “seeming”, as opposed to the true thing-in-itself.  Herodotus’ understands it as being necessarily a part of public life – it is the appearances that are created or worn by the ruling class. The clothes are the stories they tell, the lies they distribute and the fame and fortune they advertise.

We see this kind of “seeming knowledge” occurring on a daily basis with the modern mainstream media. For example, the flu hoax was a staged media event designed to frighten an enormous amount of people. Nothing came of it. Life went on as usual. The same is the case with the economy. People are being convinced that the economy is improving because the government is wearing its’ happy clothes today. THIS IS ALL FAKE, folks. Every day we are being taught that our political life is about as real as an episode of 24: we watch it, then we go to bed expecting to see a new headline in the morning that will change our circumstances.  The people are about as passive as a bunch of dogs being trained to sit in puppy class. We are trained to watch the images and the people, as they shift shapes and appear to make some kind of progress towards the hazy ideals we imagine to be good. We cheer some and jeer at others. We fight amongst ourselves because we believe that there are two sides, one with nicer clothes and one with worse clothes. We are convinced that the lies we are told are real, and so we do not even look beyond this Matrix to seek the truth. We think we are THERE already. THAT is a sad state of affairs, to believe to know truth or truths. No wonder we are so bored that we require more and more entertainment and consumerism. THAT is exactly what our political life desires. We make money off need AND off of debt.

Now the second type of knowledge seems to be something like true knowledge. It is the recognition that the clothes can be removed.  However, we are not talking about scientific truth or mathematical truth. We are talking about human nature here: in regards to politics and the human state, the knowledge of the truth will somehow get someone killed. If you come to have a glimpse of the truth you, like Gyges, will either be killed for sticking your nose in where it doesn’t belong, or you will have to be lucky enough to become President of the United States or some other official position in the legal mafia. Either way, danger lurks on all sides, because you could then become like Candaules, eager to show off the truth that you have seen or found by going public with it.  Before you know it, you will be excommunicated by Jacqui Smith of Britain or you will be removed from your post for destroying the sanctity of the inner circle, or you will be eliminated from the YouTube.com website.

So why is Herodotus telling us this? Why wouldn’t an historian tell you this?  Any historian that DOESN’T tell you this is not worth his salt. One of the criticisms of against people like Bob Chapman or Alex Jones is that they don’t have all the facts. Well, OF COURSE THEY DON’T. There is a point where are knowledge stops when it comes to politics because there is so much secrecy inherent in it.  History is difficult because it is either told by flatterers or fear mongers. It is difficult if not impossible to see or discover that which is so deeply hidden from view. Herodotus understands that the essence of political power IS secrecy and concealment. If the government happens to be benevolent, we are great. If not, we are doomed. Either way, we are slaves to a force that is beyond the distance, beyond our ability to immediately identify and see. We must, as Herodotus does, come to see the truth in an entirely different way. We do not learn by demonstration of the truth – we learn instead by looking for the clues, the obvious fakeries and lies, by learning how to at the very least recognize the difference between what is clothing and what is flesh. We can find and locate the lies, even though the truth will be ever out of our grasp. But that is a better state to be in than to believe that the lies we hold dear are true or that the true is a lie.

The Soul: Hierarchy, Elitism and Tyranny

One can always hope that there is such a thing as human progress. It is true that human beings have evolved in terms of their knowledge and their technology. In that respect we have transformed into different forms and attitudes throughout our history.  Unfortunately, we know that the mere act of giving a child a computer does not transform the nature of the child herself. The computer can of course transform the child in terms of the environment of her education, but it does not change the nature of her soul. And it is the soul - not what we have - that defines who we are and how we are.  Not only have we ourselves failed to educate our souls, but we are also bringing up a generation of children who won’t even recognize the term. The cost of this is dire.

The soul is a word that has been made to go extinct, from our classrooms and from our day to day conversation. It may turn up in religious contexts here and there but for the most part we have lost the distinction.  What this has lead to is not a destruction of soul, but a complete lack of responsibility in regards to it.  Losing track of the nature of soul only allows it to run wild. And the soul is like a child – if left to run wild and ignored it is bound to get in trouble – big trouble. If a cook doesn’t understand the nature of the herbs he can use for seasonings, he will never be able to create a good dish. He will use them, but he will create an indigestible cacophony of tastes.  If we do not understand the nature of our soul, we will not be able to create anything of any good. Luckily, we can go to Costco for good food, but Costco doesn’t offer good souls in bulk.

There is a saying that nature abhors a vacuum. Well, it is the nature of the soul that it abhors being without a master. If the individual does not take responsibility for his own soul, he WILL easily turn over its maintenance to another.  If that master is good, everything is fine. If that master is evil, we are in trouble.  In the case of our government masters, we are in fact dealing with evil. No doubt about it.

The shackling of our soul is exactly what our degenerate government wants AND has achieved – it doesn’t want the American people to be free to learn and grow into strong independent human beings. What it wants is for us to be slaves. We are slaves because we believe that the only source of our knowledge comes from CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC or Fox News. We outright reject alternative media or anything that has not been certified by a news release by the aforementioned media outhouses. We are slaves because we don’t care what is put into our drinking water or our food. We are slaves because we put our life savings and retirement funds into the hands of charlatan bankers. We are slaves because we have given over our precious trust to a government that does not have and never will have our best interests in mind.  We are like children who are beaten by the parents, starved and kept from the light of day. We say nothing. We do nothing because we are more afraid of being without our masters, than being with them.

We do not know how to NOT be ruled by them.

In this environment, the American people, being relatively good people, cannot and do not imagine the the kind of evil that lurks behind the NWO. Why can’t they imagine it? It is because they have had no education, that is why – and they do not care that they have no education. There is a deep and long tradition of what could be called socialism of the elite or, in Plato’s terminology, would be called “oligarchy”.  The basic idea is that there is a hierarchy of human beings. This hierarchy has been expressed in a myriad of different ways in ancient literature. It is very foreign to the American way of thinking, but it IS NOT foreign to the demonic NWO elitists.

Below is an example of one hierarchy that is expressed in Plato’s Phaedo. The allegory is meant to describe the relationship of the human soul to truth. The eighth and ninth levels are the furthest the human soul can get – these are the sophists, the demagogues and the tyrants.  The rest are various types of human beings that do not belong to the eighth or ninth levels. The ones at the top are the “philosophers” because their soul has been closer to the truth.  Now this hierarchy is set in place to reflect the relationship of human beings to the truth of their soul. In this allegory he is not ranking classes of people based on how smart or productive they are. He is clearly focusing on their relationship to education in regards to the soul. This is why he puts the philosopher first and the tyrant last.  That the tyrant is separate and the most offensive with regards to the soul,  implies that “tyrant” cannot apply to the other categories.  In other words, the hierarchy assumes that the categories listed from one to seven are good simply because they have some access to the truth which, in Plato’s world, is always good:

The reason why the souls exhibit this exceeding eagerness to behold the plain of truth is that pasturage is found there, which is suited to the highest part of the soul; and the wing on which the soul soars is nourished with this. And there is a law of Destiny, that the soul which attains any vision of truth in company with a god is preserved from harm until the next period, and if attaining always is always unharmed. But when she is unable to follow, and fails to behold the truth, and through some ill-hap sinks beneath the double load of forgetfulness and vice, and her wings fall from her and she drops to the ground, then the law ordains that this soul shall at her first birth pass, not into any other animal, but only into man; and the soul which has seen most of truth shall come to the birth as a philosopher, or artist, or some musical and loving nature; that which has seen truth in the second degree shall be some righteous king or warrior chief; the soul which is of the third class shall be a politician, or economist, or trader; the fourth shall be lover of gymnastic toils, or a physician; the fifth shall lead the life of a prophet or hierophant; to the sixth the character of poet or some other imitative artist will be assigned; to the seventh the life of an artisan or husbandman; to the eighth that of a sophist or demagogue; to the ninth that of a tyrant-all these are states of probation, in which he who does righteously improves, and he who does unrighteously, improves, and he who does unrighteously, deteriorates his lot. – Plato, Phaedo

Now, as with anything, the ancient notion of hierarchy has been plagiarized by people who enjoy the hierarchy because they despise human beings and enjoy their suffering. They enjoy their suffering because they jealously hold onto what they believe is theirs, namely truth. That God is dead is certainly their opinion. They are more inclined to frequent temples of an entirely different sort.  These are the people (tyrants) you read about in ancient literature – the ones who rape, kill and plunder and worship Ba’al.  They are also the ones who feel as if they are god’s gift to humanity if they are able to successfully create a world where everyone is good and beautiful and one with the truth of the universe. Here are some quotes by some of these demons. I culled these from Infowars.com:

"Natural selection must be replaced by eugenical artificial selection. This idea constitutes the sound core of eugenics, the applied science of human betterment."
- Theodosius Dobzhansky. Heredity and the Nature of Man. 1964

"…impregnation will be regarded in an entirely different manner, more in the light of a surgical operation, so that it will be thought not ladylike to have it performed in the natural manner."
-
Bertrand Russell. The Scientific Outlook. 1972

"There is no permanent status quo in nature; all is the process of adjustment and readjustment, or else eventual failure. But man is the first being yet evolved on earth which has the power to note this changefulness, and, if he will, to turn it to his own advantage, to work out genetic methods, eugenic ideas, yes, to invent new characteristics, organs, and biological systems that will work out to further the interests, the happiness, the glory of the God-like being whose meager foreshadowings we the present ailing creatures are."
- Herrman J. Muller, 1935 (an associate of Sir Julian Huxley)

"In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it."
- Jacques Cousteau,  1991 UNESCO courier

"Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind…. Any group of farmers who permitted their best stock not to breed, and let all the increase come from the worst stock, would be treated as fit inmates for an asylum…. Some day we will realize that the prime duty, the inescapable duty of the good citizens of the right type is to leave his or her blood behind him in the world; and that we have no business to permit the perpetuation of citizens of the wrong type. The great problem of civilization is to secure a relative increase of the valuable as compared with the less valuable or noxious elements in the population… The problem cannot be met unless we give full consideration to the immense influence of heredity…"
- Theodore Roosevelt to Charles B. Davenport, January 3, 1913, Charles B. Davenport Papers, Department of Genetics, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.

"I wish very much that the wrong people could be prevented entirely from breeding; and when the evil nature of these people is sufficiently flagrant, this should be done. Criminals should be sterilized and feebleminded persons forbidden to leave offspring behind them… The emphasis should be laid on getting desirable people to breed…"
Roosevelt, “Twisted Eugenics,” in The Works of Theodore Roosevelt, op. cit., National Edition, XII, p. 201.

Until the American people learn to understand the nature of the evil they are fighting, this is a losing battle. As long as we continue to fight as if it were a battle between conservatives and liberals, we will lose. If we continue to argue amongst ourselves and not pay attention to the real enemy here, we will be ensuring a future of great pain for our children and our grandchildren.

A Change in Aspect

I apologize for not updating this blog in the past week.  Honestly, I have felt that I have run a little astray of my original intentions with this blog and I want to revisit those intentions. I have some interesting ideas that I am playing with; in particular, I am looking at writing more about Greek and/or Roman antiquity: cults (both political and religious), world domination, despotism and propaganda.  Within that context, we find freedom’s struggle. It would be interesting to attempt to bring that to light in the context of what America is now facing, namely, global enslavement to the new world order (Novus Ordo Saecularum Augusto). I am frankly tired of battling the modern political archetypes with a language that cannot seem to pull the psyche from out of the proverbial box.  It would be great to look at our freedoms from an entirely different angle,  so as to see it in a more powerful more eternal aspect. America is entering a new and dangerous age, an age that will leave her vulnerable to those who wish to destroy her.  Yet, because she stands for freedom, the creative expression of humanity based on, not the laws of men, but the natural rights of God, she will not be destroyed. Anyone who might be inclined to rule or control her will eventually be defeated, I can assure you that.

So I will be spending a bit of a hiatus from blog writing (not sure how long). Do not forget:

You are that gadfly which God has attached to the state, and all day long and in all places you are always fastening upon them, arousing and persuading and reproaching them.” – Socrates

Argentina: A Lesson We Have Not Learned

America, take note:

“Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%.

Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina’s assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition. If you want to stop the same thing from happening here, and it is happening here, right now, please join the revolution at the Kick Them All Out Projet http://www.KickThemAllOut.com and the Fire Congress Campaign.” -  infowars.com.

Salbuchi on the “New World Order” and Globalization

A must watch. This has to be the best explanation and elucidation of the powers that make the world tick.  This is not a conspiracy. This IS the state of the world.

 

Financial Meltdown. NOT Crisis. With Love, From Argentina

Argentinean economist on the current meltdown.  He offers Argentina as an example of hyperinflation and we too can expect.  Argentina has gone through THREE of these financial meltdowns.

His advice? Get your money OUT now while you still can. Buy gold, buy silver. Buy anything. Stock up on food.

Continue to watch American Idol and ignore at your own peril. 

 

Update: Also see Salbuchi's new video on Globalization and One World Government

Eternal Propaganda: Remove the Guns

To these (the offspring of Romulus, founder of Rome) I give no bounded times or power,
but empire without end…

…To them (the emperors of Rome) no bounds of empire I assign,
Nor term of years to their immortal line.  - Vergil, Aeneid, I

The mainstream media is doing its part to help create a perception and belief that guns should be banned and outlawed in the United States. The government will never just ban them outright without first creating the appearance and then the reality (for a lie repeated enough times creates the political truth) that public opinion favors such a ban. The ban MUST appear to be good and just. This is how our government works. This is how all degenerate and totalitarian governments work since even the days of Augustus of Rome. Power must not ever appear to be power. It must appear to BE the WILL of the people or the gods, depending on how the particular nation is bent. That is how it BECOMES. It is demagoguery and populism and an abuse of religion. It often calls itself democracy or theocracy. It is simply just totalitarianism.

So, the propaganda begins like a chick just about to hatch out of its egg: First we are getting the horrible stories of every crazy that has a gun. Stories like the ones that just happened to come up in the news at the same time as the riots over at the G20 Summit :

As NY gunman’s life unraveled, he took others
Clearly a madman – but will be used to demonize guns.  I love how  this piece ends with a description of Wong’s kind and peaceful family:  "They grow great vegetables and roses," he said.”. Even peaceful gardeners can breed the unexpected devil. Maybe the government should step in and help us breed better… That is the kind of thinking this piece CAN evoke.

Police: 5 Kids Found Dead in Wash. Home
Just found this horror of a story. It’s already making the Sludge Report front page. Another example of how guns are bad for the children.

Gunman Kills Three Pittsburgh Police Offers and Richard Poplawski: Two Profiles Emerge
This one is particularly interesting as it describes Richard as being just a normal good guy. See, normal good guys with guns who believe the government taking their freedom away can be evil. Better take away the guns: “He was also convinced that the government wanted to take away his guns and his freedom.”

As these stories continue to trickle in like Chinese water torture, a few things could happen. We may start hearing “citizens” or organizations complain about the dangers of guns. This will be a phony “grassroots” effort  (like Obama’s phony “grassroots” campaign), funded by some scoundrel like Soros, to ban them outright.  These groups no doubt will probably include mothers or women who say they fear the dangers of guns and want them out of every American household – for the “public good” of course.  You will not hear anything about the dangers of steak knives, Tylenol, anti-freeze, Hot Pockets, or anything else that could possibly be toxic to children and/or adults if MISUSED. Again, ours is not a culture of education, it is a culture of fear and lies (Climate change anyone?). Guns are no different from any other potentially dangerous item, but they are still treated differently. Ask yourselves why. Why would our government want us to give up our guns?

In addition to the grassroots effort to banish guns, the government may also try martial law due to staged riots such as the one over London:

Rioters force Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni to Cancel Strasbourg Cancer Hospice Visit (Wow, people were shooting rubber bullets, preventing government from helping dying people with cancer. Evil gun owners, right?)

And how about this one over in Strasbourg. Nothing like creating a little violence in order to demonize the agenda of the peaceful protesters (the ones who are in the majority):

“Protesters demonstrating against a NATO summit in Strasbourg set fire to a hotel in the city near the river Rhine on Saturday, AFP journalists witnessed.”

Described as “hardline,” the Black Bloc provocateurs, “armed with metal bars,” also wrecked a wrecked a chapel, a pharmacy, an empty police post and other buildings at the French end of the Europe bridge connecting Strasbourg with Germany, according to AFP.

In order to demonize the anti-NATO protests as the work of violent “anarchists” (agents provocateurs), the New York Times described participants as “a mix of anti-globalization and anti-military activists (who) set a hotel and border post on fire, while riot police used tear gas to keep them back.” – Inforwars.com

Anti-globalists or those who want America to preserve her SOVEREIGNTY are increasingly going to be associated with these violent rioters, whether they are staged or not staged. How could we possibly allow ANY of them to have guns?  As usual, our political discourse is being driven by the way the media portrays and explains events. If the mainstream media doesn’t mention it or if they deny something exist, it doesn’t exist. It would be helpful for us to start reading in between the lines. Listen for not only WHAT the media is saying, but WHEN (what context) and HOW they are saying it. If we fail to do this, we will not educated ourselves and we will continue to allow our freedoms to ebb away.

 "Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day . . . . I believe it [human condition] susceptible of much improvement, and most of all, in matters of government and religion; and that the diffusion of knowledge among the people is to be the instrument by which it is effected."  - Thomas Jefferson
