More on the CT Elementary School shooting

The Elementary School shooting was evil. It represented cultural and morality problems in America. Far too often, some people obsess with materialism and greed. These tragedies make us realize that more real issues are important like family, community, and compassion. The mass murderer Adam Lanza will not see justice in this life, but in the afterlife. Now, this event is complex. The mass shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday was the second worst K-12 school shooting in modern American history. Schools are increasingly trying to have increased security. Many of the children who died were 6 or 7 years old. This crime is evil just like the violence in the streets of Chicago or the drone attacks in Pakistan. We don't know all of the circumstances in this evil event. We still live in a society that glorifies violence. This glorification isn't just in Hollywood, but in everyday areas of urban, urban, and suburban communities worldwide. Children are killed every day in America. The fact is that Adam Lanza broke at least 3 Connecticut gun control laws in the state. That smoking gun proves that you don't just need laws. You need vigilance to promote laws and enforcement of real laws in order to prevent such an occurrence from transpiring in the first place. We need better funding for mental health system. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and it still has a high murder rate. In Australia, gun murders rose by about 19 percent and armed robberies rose by about 69 percent after a gun ban was instituted. The UK has some of the strictest gun laws on the planet. So how has that worked out? Well, gun crime in England and Wales rose by 89 percent over the course of a decade. The latest Government figures show that the total number of firearm offences in England and Wales has increased from 5,209 in 1998/99 to 9,865 last year - a rise of 89 per cent. Connecticut has the 5th strongest gun control laws in the USA and the shooting occured in a gun free zone. Banning all guns won't solve a thing since criminals will still try to get guns. By definition, real criminals will violate laws. What works is a comprehensive approach of executing gun safety programs, have gun violence prevention programs, fight poverty, end the War on Drugs, reform our mental health processes, and develop a more tolerant, open minded society (by growing bonds better in our communities nationwide). The pharmaceutical drugs have a huge influence in such mass murders in America. This is readily omitted by some in the mainstream media. Nearly every mass shooting in America over 20 years related to someone never having the medication or related mental health issue. According to ABC News, Adam Lanza has been labeled as having a mental illness and a personality disorder. One common side effect of psychiatric drugs are emotional outbursts and thoughts of suicide. One neighbor according to the Washington Post told the press that Adam Lanza was on medication. Of course, the mainstream media will never call for a ban on mind-altering pharmaceutical drugs. The companies that produce those drugs spend billions of dollars to advertise on their networks. Also, babies have been murdered by abortions even babies born alive. Regardless of your views on abortion, it is immoral for a born alive baby to have their organs destroyed. Many aborted baby body parts are told to medical researchers. Even Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger once said outright that: "...The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” From 2008-2009, about 181 people were killed by tasers, but the establishment doesn't want to ban tasers. I believe in the Second Amendment. I don't believe that criminals should own a gun, but I reject any government confiscating folks' guns without someone being charged of a crime at all. There are extremists too (who aren't real liberals, but extremists) who are calling for the death of gun owners when gun owners collectively have nothing to do with this evil tragedy at all. These ignorant people compare gun owners to the KKK when the racist Black Codes deprived black people of their right to own guns to protect themselves. I don't agree with Alex Jones on every issue (like on economics, immigration, white supremacy, Trayvon Martin, unions, and the like), but he is right in believing in the Second Amendment. Throughout human history, dictators took guns from people as a means to make an authoritarian system in the world. Switzerland has huge gun rights and it has a very low crime rate. If you want a low crime rate, develop society in a positive way by giving the people liberty, justice, and equality without evil wars of aggression. It is very hypocritical for these phony liberals to yell about violence when some of them support drone attacks and the Fairness Doctrine, which violates the essence of the First Amendment or free speech. It is as simple as that. Humans have a God-given right to defend themselves. Self-defense is a civil, human, and God-given right. Law abiding citizens have the right to own guns if they want to or not. Also, we don't need the status quo, so if necessary, new laws should exist to address this gun violence issue. We all agree that we need a comprehensive, new plan. The status quo isn't going to cut it.

 


The U.S. backed FSA or the Free Syrian Army has threatened to kill Russians and Ukrainians in Syria. This is crossing a line. The U.S. has driven the FSA the green light to threaten and target Russian and Ukrainian nationals. This is a covert provocation against the Russian government according to some. The Russian government has been sending military support to Syria in relation to its air defense system. We know that Washington, London, and its allies support various terrorist groups and rebel forces worldwide. French, British, Turkish, and Qatari special forces are involved in the recruitment and training of FSA rebels, who are in large part mercenaries. This can harm diplomacy in the whole region when Russian citizens are targeted in Syria. The FSA is threatening a female Ukrainian journalist. Russians has dealt with the terrorist FSA operating in Syria. The FSA is openly threatening to kill Russians, Ukrainians, and Iranians. That is extreme to say the least. One journalist was kidnapped named Anhar Kochneva. The journalist has been stationed in Syria for years and getting the true story on Syria for years. She was a target, because she was exposing the truth in the Syrian civil war. She has worked for NTV, RenTV, and RT Television channels (from Russia). Ru Nws portal and according to RIA Novosti has been a great supporter of President Bashar Al Assad. According to the site Syria News online “That the joint statement of the Reporters Without Borders, Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), ARTICLE 19, the International Press Institute also calls on the British, French and US governments as well as on the European Union (UN) to work with “their” external staged Syrian opposition in order to facilitate the release of the journalist Anhar Kochneva is also not surprising. It either shows who are the masterminds and supporters behind the “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) or who is really responsible for this (expletive) situation in Syria.” Kiev wants the freedom for the kidnapped Ankhar Kochneva. She was kidnapped since October 10. Ankhar was an interpreter for a Russian TV crew. The kidnappers want 50 million dollars or she will die. The militants are serious and it represents the complex nature of the Syrian civil war in general. Drone attacks are another evil in the globe too. The U.S. drone strikes have killed 474 to 881 civilians. This number includes 176 children. Drone strikes kill unintended people 50 times more often than intended targets. These attacks are especially sick and we should have condolences to all of the innocent victims of drone attacks. The American Empire is an even Empire, but God is a God of justice. We can promote justice too by speaking out against the crimes and the crimes of the Western Empire. CIA head Leon Panetta announced that he is sending two Patriot Missile batteries and 400 U.S. troops to Turkey in support of the terrorists Hillary Clinton and the CIA have been running in their destabilization campaign in neighboring Syria. This is not the change we believe in. This is the Empire that I don't believe in.


 

Sean Hannity is one of the most famous neo-cons in the world. He is an anti-union extremist. This extremism is a common fixture of the philosophy of reactionaries. That is why one GOP official called union members terrorists. His name is Shawn Kenney from Virginia. He formerly served as the communications director for the state GOP. He is now the chairman of the Fluvanna Co. He posted an entry on his blog titled, “We Don’t Negotiate With (Union) Terrorists.” The post features a video of a brief fight that occurred outside the Michigan state capitol. Before the video, Kenney writes: “…and these people are terrorists.” He is wrong since unions aren't terrorists at all. Even Hannity's hero Ronald Reagan was in the Screen Actors Guild for years, which was in an union. Crowder also admitted to coming out of the tent and pushing demonstrators. From the video Fox finally aired, the unedited one, it’s clear from his stance and his left arm being extended, that he hit that man. The other video from which the stills of the demonstrator swinging on Crowder, the one shot from the other angle, still hasn’t surfaced. But that one probably shows Crowder ducking under the other camera and hitting the protester. Crowder didn't file a complaint with the police. We know the weaknesses of neoliberalism and how it can harm a nation. The establishment regularly demonizes progressive ideologies. Hannity advanced Crowder's version of events before the total truth about the incident came about. Hannity falsely classified this event as the ugly and twisted and bad soul of liberalism. Hannity ignores the U.S. death squads in Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, and in other nations throughout the world that advance the agenda of neo-imperialism. Crowder edited the video about him harming a demonstrator. Now, Sean Hannity follows the Left/Right Paradigm by advancing the two party system (and real issues are not discussed from globalization to eugenics). There is nothing wrong with the concepts of cooperation, compassion, empathy, social justice, and the greater good. Numerous unions are doing their best to help society. There are still protests against austerity in France, England, and Italy. In the final analysis, the establishment want to destroy as much of the New Deal as possible. The destruction of the New Deal has been mapped out in the 1930's. In the 1960's, Ronald Reagan even spoke out against Medicare and Medicaid. Alan Simpson is a liar and bashes Social Security when it is an insurance program paid for by its participants. Wall Street supported Democratic and Republican efforts to harm or partially privatize Social Security. Also, it is hypocritical for some to talk about Bush's war crimes, but ignore the war crimes going on in this present administration. The reactionaries are still extreme. They are so extreme that they hated Henry Wallace's campaign back in 1948 (when Henry Wallace wanted friendly relations with the Soviet Union, an end to the nascent Cold War, an end to segregation, full voting rights for blacks, and universal government health insurance). In the West, jobs are being outsourced, wages are falling and unemployment rising. As the market becomes saturated with goods and demand is unable to mop up supply, firms go bust. There is a shift towards powerful monopoly capitalism, while citizens and workers experience increasing powerlessness and immiseration. Instead of having paranoia about socialism, we should fight against unregulated capitalism instead.

 

The right to work law was passed in Michigan. The United Auto Workers and other unions fought against the law. Critics feel that they didn't fight against the law hard enough. For decades, some leadership in some union have promoted wage and benefit cuts as a means to compromise with corporations. These like-minded groups have collaborated with such corporate entities that influenced the closure of plants and mass layoffs. Detroit has been devastated and improvised. The UAW agreed to a six-year strike ban as part of the wage-cutting contract dictated by the Obama’s Auto Task Force in 2009. The UAW once had over 1 million members and as recently as 2004 had 650,000 on its membership rolls. Today it has a membership of about 380,000. Much of the money sent to the executives of the UAW benefit the Democratic Party and their constituents not ordinary peoples. Meanwhile, young workers in UAW plants are forced to work for poverty-level wages of $15 an hour, endure back-breaking speedup, work ten- and even 12-hour days with no overtime pay, and watch as “their” union reps police the shop floor on behalf of the bosses. The President opposed the right to work law, but he collaborated with the government with the auto companies in slashing wages plus benefits (and shifting wages and benefits as a means to return the U.S. auto industry to profitability). Reactionary movements also harmed the labor movement. Even the UAW came about in rebellion to old labor groups like the American Federation of Labor. Individuals strikes, and even confronted the police and the National Guard in order for labor rights to be strengthened in America. The growing power of global corporations caused capitalists to exploit a global labor market and transfer production to low wage countries. Others are right to mention that this issue is complex. I believe in good, independent unions. I don't agree with some unions discriminating against Blacks and Browns decades ago. Cop unions even have tried to stop justice to come against those cops who had done police brutality before. Some unions refuse to advance increasing the minimum wage to a living wage, a national policy of full employment in the nation. Even Democrat Harry Truman used the Taft-Hartley Act 12 times in breaking up union strikes. The Republican establishment is just as evil and wrong as the Democratic establishment (with its agencies. Even some of these agencies refuse to address issues of hunger, economic justice, and poverty). There should be alternatives to the war on drugs as well. The fact is the constitutional principles of human liberty, the right of due process, and right to liberty are violated in the realm of the War on Drugs. Folks realize that drug treatment programs for those struggling with drug addiction not mass imprisonment is a more level headed, compassionate solution to the Drug War. Decriminalization is not legalization. In Portugal all drug use and possession is still illegal. What changed is drug offences are no longer deemed criminal, but instead administrative. Portugal is one nation that has similar policies working in America. In 2011, the Global Commission on Drug Policy released a scathing report on the war on drugs asserting in unequivocal terms, “The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world.” The group formulated a comprehensive drug war exit strategy based on the principles of harm reduction. Among the recommendations: end the criminalization and stigmatization of drug users; experiment with models of drug regulation; expand health and drug treatment services; provide easy access to opioid substitution therapy; respect the human rights of people who use drugs. Portugal’s gamble on a new drug policy in 2001 paid off in great measure. They implemented the recommendations of the Global Commission on Drug Policy a decade ago. Now the world has to catch up with Portugal.

 

Freemason General Douglas MacArthur believed that Hitler poisoned the minds of the Japanese people against Freemasonry. He wanted the future government of Japan to be patterned after Freemasonry indeed. He told of these plans to 33rd Degree Freemason George M. Sanders (or the Imperial Recorder of the Shine of North America). MacArthur reopened Masonic Lodges in Japan. Even some of his generals and other commissioned officers involved in the occupation of Japan were Masons. For example, 33rd Degree Freemason Major Michael Rivisto was made the first Grand Master of the Tokyo Lodge by the Masonic Supreme Council at Charleston, S.C. In 1955, 33rd Degree Freemason Takashi Komastua was the first native born Japanese man to become Master of a Masonic Lodge in Japan. In that same year, Ichiro Hatoymama or the then Prime Minister of Japan was raised to Master Mason. In 1934, Hitler closed Masonic Lodges. After the defeat of Nazi Germany (which was a good thing I might add), Masonic Lodges returned throughout the nation of Germany. Mason Wilfred Schiek wanted a stronger Masonic influence in Germany since the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers. Scheik made other extreme requests to the Allies like all political parties must align them with Masonic thought. His requests were of course denied. Some of the pro-Nazis traveled into South America as a means to escape justices. Others worked with the West like Reinhard Gehlen as a means to advance the Cold War agitation (when it is a historical fact that cartel-capitalists funded both Capitalism and Communism. One example is that Rockefeller and Ford interests helped to build up the USSR. This has been confirmed and documented by the research of Anthony Sutton). The United Nations is one large organization that existed during the aftermath of World War Two indeed. As early as the late 1930's, the Council on Foreign Relations (or the CFR) advanced the agenda of creating the United Nations. John D. Rockefeller Jr. donated 18 acres of land where the UN headquarters now stands on the east side of Manhattan. Secretary of State Cordell Hull led serious planning for the UN via the Informal Agenda Group (with CFR members, but Hall wasn't in the Council on Foreign Relations). Sincere people are in the United Nations, but the G8 nations rule it not the Group of 77. The UN peacekeepers harming human beings in Haiti and other places of the world proves much of the imperfections of the United Nations.
