Progressives Are Not Being Honest About Gun Control

Few things are more dangerous to a nation’s citizenry than when its leaders decide to turn on their own or selected groupings of their own people (and Jewish people should especially understand this). Tyrannical governments should be feared far more than various types of weapons—especially when tyrants have no or few restrictions on their own selection of weapons. The progressive idea of the 2nd Amendment was the notion that common people can have the right to defend themselves against tyrannical governments (including and especially when their own choose to turn on them—which has happened all throughout history). THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ITS CURRENT DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL DOES NOT WARRANT TRUST ENOUGH FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY TO HANDOVER GUNS TO THIS CORRUPTED STATUS QUO.

Few things are more dangerous to a nation’s citizenry than when its leaders decide to turn on their own or selected groupings of their own people (and Jewish people should especially understand this). Tyrannical governments should be feared far more than various types of weapons—especially when tyrants have no or few restrictions on their own selection of weapons. The progressive idea of the 2nd Amendment was the notion that common people can have the right to defend themselves against tyrannical governments (including and especially when their own choose to turn on them—which has happened all throughout history).
Yet this argument gets far too little mention from liberals like Amy Goodman’s DemocracyNow.Org, Pacifica broadcast of her Global News Hour War and Peace Report. Rather than being fair and balanced about this important consideration she and her colleagues heavily weight their show’s reporting and commentary to a supposedly “mainstream” and supposedly “sane” family agenda of allowing our government to heavily restrict the types of weapons common people can own (thus destroying any ability for independent Americans to be able to protect themselves from their own corrupted government (and its enormous arsenal of weaponry and resource—none of which liberals attempt to restrict).
As crucial and extremely relevant to a truly honest debate about gun control, is for presumed liberals (but also for all in the middle and on the right of America’s majority) to get honest about is just how corrupt the American Government and our America culture truly is. This is where the debate needs to go—and must go—because the American government is really very corrupt (and has been for a long time). And yet like the frog finding self in boiling water forgets to realize how dangerous things can get. Why would aware Americans trust the Washington D.C. Establishment or its Mainstream Media stenographers (or pretenders of independent thought)?
The real meaning of liberal is not someone willing to try anything or have anything that on first impulse seems good but someone who listens and thinks about “all” relevant points of view fairly before deciding a course of action. It is NOT liberal to say that just because I am a wife or a husband and I believe in the inevitable right to have children then I will espouse whatever repressive laws will create a false sense of naïve security (such as banning all or most guns) which naïve moms and children were saying in interviews during a Million Mon March protest across the Brooklyn bridge). Why aren’t those moms explaining to their children why they as parents even thought it was a good idea to have given them birth to innocent children into this screwed up world in the first place? Just because one is a mom and or a woman doesn’t make it a truth that gender means the epitome of innocence. Women have time to discover what kind of planet this is and realize it isn’t necessarily a place one would even want to raise kids.
More importantly this gun control debate is NOT primarily about the NRA or the gun industry. And yes they have a big stake in it so it is fair to report on how much of a stake they do have. And it is not primarily or even secondarily about whether schools should be protected by armed police or teachers. (Schools can volunteer to get metal detectors run by non-police if they chose to.) The NRA is shooting itself in the foot if this is the best response they can come up with.
Rather this debate needs to focus on the important matter of THE PEOPLES’ RIGHT to protect themselves from the American Government. There is enormous fear for many people to vocalize a simple truth: the American government is not just one of the most corrupt governments currently in existence, but is likely one of the most corrupt countries in history. This is what NO ONE wants to talk about, or acknowledge, for fear of rejection, reprisal, ostracism, persecution, imprisonment, torture and death (all activities our people are more than capable of). The United States ought be one of the last countries people would want to trust—especially when it comes to such important matters as handing over their right to self-protection from this same government. NOBODY argues this case and yet this is the seminal matter.
Why is it so hard to say: “I’m afraid of my own government and afraid of some of the special interest groups that wield too much power in our government into getting our governments into various wars”?
If We The People truly had a trustworthy government with a trustworthy track record it would be one thing, but this is not at all the case. Those people, like President Obama, who claim they want to hear from all sides on the matter, are not getting this message. It is being suppressed. Instead we are being told there is no legitimate reason for Americans to want to have semiautomatic and automatic weapons—that one only needs guns for sports hunting and hand guns for protection against criminal intrusion. Everyone is just supposed to assume that government itself is not any kind of potential problem (as if it were some trust-loving father figure).
And one of the reasons this argument is being suppressed is because there are OTHER MOTIVES involved in taking away guns than simply making America safer (whether President Obama, most politicians, and most Americans know it or not). So what we are currently stuck with is a tyranny of a naïve majority, using the semblance of a demagogue’s passion play to excite the masses, while they “hail” our great and supposedly trusted leaders on, as they use the foil to claim that the NRA and gun industry and everything related are the bad guys—as if this were merely an issue of starry-eyed pacifists against corrupted motives of gun thugs. The NRA may have several dominant motives that are self-interested, narrow and even arrogant as intent—but these are not the important issues about gun ownership now as U.S, history unfolds.
Study the “real” history of American foreign policy and you see one act of undemocratic exploitation after another, one illegal war after another, one form of extortion, murder and torture after another. No one can ultimately be safe from this government (even if much of the dirty work has been done by surrogates and proxies). Chris Hedges, astute social and political commentator, and Pulitzer Prize winner, also author of several important books including The Death of the Liberal Class, wrote on Oct. 1, 2012 (website TruthDig.Com) an article called What Is Happening to Muslims Will Happen to the Rest of Us. Somehow Americans think they are impervious to the kinds of fates of what many other peoples have suffered throughout history and currently suffer (see online video Innocents Betrayed) or they magically presume well our bad guys are not quite as bad as those baddies would did terrible things in Germany or Russia.
How can any sane person possibly trust the American Congress or the Executive Branch (or and especially the two major political parties married to special interests such as the Neo-Con-Art agenda and that are not particular democratic or republican) to make laws banning guns for We The People, while not being suspicious that this same government (or some version) will not one day persecute, imprison, torture and kill some of its own people? How much Kool-Aid have people been drinking?
Furthermore this debate is not about labeling hyperactive vigilantes like Alex Jones as pushers of paranoia—because the fact is Alex Jones is right on many of the details he makes people aware—even if his overall schemata of a globalist-takeover plot seems far-fetched. When you study highly regarded academics like Daron Acemoglu (MIT) and James Robinson (Havard) Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty you realize many forms of established power have worked to the detriment of sharing power and wealth with others (and often acted in repressive and undemocratic manners—that is they became extractive and parasitic). Their book shows us many, many examples of this contemporary and historical reality. Or if you read the likes of Kevin Phillips Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism you realize our finance sector too has been exploiting people. These realities described by respected academics may not equal up to some overall calculation of a mega-conspiracy of sorts as some populists may so label but the effects are much the same.
The United States has “many” extractive and parasitic forces consolidating power and wealth—so Alex Jones is more than sane and accurate than what a lot of the mainstream and middle class assume (and more importantly know) as they have been too much seduced by false and “calculated” impressions from this same mainstream). “Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they are not out to get you.”
Sometimes paranoia and extreme opinion is sanity. One thing serious thinkers should realize—when people are angry you need to listen to them because people get angry about what they care about or what they perceive as important (even if their issues don’t resonate or seem important to others). Mr. Alex Jones might seem a bit mad—but he was dead on when it came to asking Mr. Piers Morgan why he and his media company wasn’t “indicting” pharmaceutical companies about violence in America due to the side effects of medications—clearly a culprit at least as culpable as the NRA or the gun industry? (Look at the smear campaign against Tom Cruz when he suggested people didn’t need medications—how fair and balanced was that?). Is it not true that there is a big tendency to over-medicate in America (where is the Million moms on that one?).
Why are so many Americans so naïve about history and human nature in general, and especially about American’s real history? Why are Americans so willing to trust their own government, culture, and mass media? Don’t they realize how many times they have been lied to? Yet even they eventually came to learn they were lied to about the Iraq invasion and its illegal occupation (which Israel had a great deal to do with making happen). And they could easily as well know, if they did some research, the U.S. was strongly and primarily instrumental in over-throwing a democratically elected Iranian leader Mossadegh back in 1953 (and yes he was socialist and yes he nationalized Iranian oil and kicked big western oil out (or are we ‘not’ supposed to think it was Iran’s oil and instead automatically belonged to western corporations?)) and equally the U.S. helped put a brutal Shah in power in Iran and kept him in power for decades—while their notorious internal security service SAVAK tortured regularly (as supposedly trained by agents from the CIA and Israel (according to Jesse J. Leaf former CIA analyst—see William Blum’s Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower and his Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since WW 2 or his Freeing the World to Death, etc.)).
And we should note there has been a strain in history of U.S. and Israel sponsored torture—and the reason that is relevant is because right-wing Israel and Zionists has every intention of manipulating our country, our people and our resources into another major war—this time with Iran (irrespective that other recent interventions primarily “for” Israel have been declared disasters, and more importantly have hurt a lot of peoples’ welfare, safety, besides destroying their infrastructure (including international crimes), while many people became displaced, homeless, murdered, or cruelly tortured and then murdered (and again Israel (via the U.S.) has already played a significant part in motivating these outcomes to become realities—just like we are currently fighting Charlie Wilson Wars in places like Syria, Libya, etc. for who?).
Take away Americans guns and then go to war with Iran. Yeah that sounds simple enough? If protests get too demonstrative—well too bad—what are you going to do about it? Besides this could be a really big war (as the manipulated war in Syria from American leadership (most U.S citizens would not normally care about) is just a prelude to going into Iran for both oil and for Israeli interests). Then if they need to restart the draft cause there are not enough volunteers—well protesters can just get imprisoned and maybe roughened up a bit (besides isn’t that what willing parents already volunteer—their children’s potential enlistment into wars (just or unjust) so they can shoot and kill others and be shot at and possibly killed in return?).
And isn’t it ironic how many wars the U.S. is already involved in and how much money is spent by the U.S. Congress for the U.S. military machine and related budgets to keep us safe (and of course that is all justified too if it keeps moms in America and Israel safe—nothing worth complaining about in some march just because their government spends a bit of an over-reach—after all we have to protect not only our own interests from U.S. enemies but we have to protect Israel from all their enemies as well—and even engage in creating more enemies while doing so).
Whoever is in power—and it’s not the President as singular and temporary ego even if a top-of-the-line speech maker—has the important cards. If you think citizens have power with the ballot you are beyond stupid as Ron Paul was deprived of his real chance of becoming the next President as someone who would actually have got us out of all these wars. Meanwhile Barark Obama as intelligent as he is (and people should not underestimate his acumen) has spent too much of his life coming to terms with his personal uniqueness and blackness—but he has not spent enough time understanding the greater capacity for evil that hides behind the greatest capacity to project trust—namely religion. He doesn’t understand Israel wants to be the lion and expects the rest of the world to be the lamb. He doesn’t understand that a real Universal God would never have told a Hebrew people to dominate or kill the inhabitants of Canaan—because such dogma could only have come from a tribal God as decreed in inter-tribal warfare, and therefore this Biblical creed was nothing more than war propaganda saying: “Our ethnocentric people own this land because our Yahweh said so, as he also said we should kill off its current inhabitants in our Canaan”. Barack Obama doesn’t understand that the Old Testament and Torah (and quite frankly the New Testament) are humanly created tools of propaganda (or if he does he doesn’t act like it).
This is the trajectory we are expected to follow—more war for Israel while our economy collapses. That is more wars to prop up their form of government that in reality is antithetical to our own declared values of equality for all regardless of ethnicity, race or religion. This is one of the corrupting forces tearing our society apart. And what we get is a Congress too willing to suppress more of Americans’ freedom.
Why does this President find that his mission is to follow a path that creates a great deal of divisive alienation? A lot of independents voted willingly for Obama his first term, and reluctantly in his second as bad versus terrible (because they didn’t want Romney), but one can well conclude President Obama has too much of a sense of deluded self-importance and moral mission to something grandiose. Even he cannot deny that is married to the machine (a machine that ultimately doesn’t give a damn about him). He has already shown his colors in his first term as nothing more than an apologist to a corrupted Democratic Party that has loyalties to other interests and not the American people. Now he is willing to put his life and career on the line for what will NOT make Americans safer (that is until this government gets cleaned up first).
Practically everyone knows Israel has been deciding our foreign policy—at least in the Middle East. We went into to war with Iraq for Israel. This was all able to happen because of 9/11. (And it is NOT at all clear who was really behind 9/11, but people who doubt conspiracy theories about 9/11 the most, and choose to instead believe the official story, do so because they are afraid to learn more truth—they are the ones who have not done their research. Instead they proudly think they already know truth.
This is the crux of our American problem—and unwillingness to look at our criminal past and present—and instead wanting to focus on crimes people who are not in power might commit (even if the statistical averages are very low). For example it may be true, and may sound impressively shocking, that in the month since Sandy Hook killings, 900 Americans have died at the end of a gun; but the U.S. has a population of at least 360 million people. When you do the math that equals one in 400,000 (and likely many of those were suicides—which should be a human right in which suffering people ought have the means to die in dignity.)
Amy Goodman and her colleagues know our government is corrupt to the point it should not be trusted. In fact she and her crew do a good job reporting on a lot of it. And yet they do not tell their listeners to connect the dots. Rather people are still connecting the dots Mainstream Media coolies had pointed out long ago and then showed them how and where to connect them. Why the disconnect?
It is precisely those people who have been the most courageous in reporting truth—including Alex Jones—yes the ugly truth about real conspiracies—that have the most to loose. What about the people who were involved in the 9/11 Truth Movement? Or what about all the attempts to control the Internet from this same Congress like Senator Feinstein an Lieberman? If this government starts spying on, and concentrating dissidents for various reasons, such as for potential cases of martial law, then what power can save them through justice? Rebel groups of dissidents have been spied on, disappeared, killed en masse, tortured, etc., all through history, and all around the world, ad nauseas, because as Chris Hedges reminds us mankind is a beast and savage (even if social idealists act as too willing to trust the people who run this government as the answer is too credulous to fathom).
The American government, and its corporate counterpart, already spies on us without warrant; they can already detain us without giving reason—indefinitely; they can now use the U.S. military to create martial law and concentrate people; they can even kill Americans if they are labeled terrorists; and now progressives want Americans to give up our last resort to any kind of defensive power to defend ourselves?
Why is it so hard to say it?
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ITS CURRENT DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL DOES NOT WARRANT TRUST CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY TO HANDOVER GUNS TO THIS CORRUPTED STATUS QUO.
Leftists and rightists both are playing a Bolshevik move on a blind and dumb polity. We have a right and a duty to have real debate aired on this issue. What happens when either Israel or the U.S. attacks Iran (or engages false flag operations to commence hostilities as they are so readily expert) and we enter a World War and where that might lead?
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ITS CURRENT DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL DOES NOT WARRANT TRUST ENOUGH FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY TO HANDOVER GUNS TO THIS CORRUPTED STATUS QUO.
If journalists and activists want a safe country then they can start with fixing the government first and its assumed domination over the entire world.

If this government starts spying on, and concentrating dissidents for various reasons, such as for potential cases of martial law, then what power can save them through justice? Rebel groups of dissidents have been spied on, disappeared, killed en masse, tortured, etc., all through history, and all around the world, ad nauseas, because as Chris Hedges reminds us mankind is a beast and savage (even if social idealists act as too willing to trust the people who run this government as the answer is too credulous to fathom).
The American government, and its corporate counterpart, already spies on us without warrant; they can already detain us without giving reason—indefinitely; they can now use the U.S. military to create martial law and concentrate people; they can even kill Americans if they are labeled terrorists; and now progressives want Americans to give up our last resort to any kind of defensive power to defend ourselves?
Why is it so hard to say it?
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ITS CURRENT DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL DOES NOT WARRANT TRUST CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY TO HANDOVER GUNS TO THIS CORRUPTED STATUS QUO.
Leftists and rightists both are playing a Bolshevik move on a blind and dumb polity. We have a right and a duty to have real debate aired on this issue. What happens when either Israel or the U.S. attacks Iran (or engages false flag operations to commence hostilities as they are so readily expert) and we enter a World War and where that might lead?
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ITS CURRENT DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL DOES NOT WARRANT TRUST ENOUGH FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY TO HANDOVER GUNS TO THIS CORRUPTED STATUS QUO.
If journalists and activists want a safe country then they can start with fixing the government first and its assumed domination over the entire world.

Like a lot of things, the Republicans disrupt and distract the people from the truth by hijacking any argument where it directly relates to curtailing the freedoms of the membership of the Republican Party. So, being that US health care insurance companies and corporations are owned and profited from by Republicans, it isn't a surprise that Republicans stand against free health care because it directly undermines the Republican movement. So it is with gun control. The industry of providing the people of the US with firearms is another industry in which Republicans are dependent on for income. They stand against gun control not because they are standing up for the rights of the American people, but because gun control is a threat to their profit margins and the existance of the Republican movement.
Free health care and gun control are existential threats to the Republican party. Without these industries, the Republican party cannot exist. There is overlap here between the Republican party of the United States, and the Zionist movement of Israel. They are both movements that profit from violence and profit from restriction of health care to its opponents after that violence has taken place.
Two of the most pressing 'extremist' problems right now in Israel and the United States, are both concerned with elavating the artificial death toll within society and leveraging profits from gun sales, and then ensuring that health care is the most expensive commodity available to ensure further profits in the follow up.
This is 'Republicanism'. Both the United States and Israel are Republics. Both the United States and Israel are Republics with a vested interest in violence and the facilitation of violence. Once that violence has been facilitated, the Republicans profit further from the misery that follows.
There is no room for the Republican party in the modern world. It must be removed in its entirety and replaced with a political force which requires that all operatives within the arms industries and armed forces, are prevented from standing for political office.
In a democracy, the armed forces have no legitimate voice. Any attempt to give them a legitimate voice must be met by the law. Any government around the world that attempts to present itself as a democracy, but which is just a cover for the military, must not have a voice at the UN or any other international institution. Any government that attempts this, must understand that membership of the international community is not permitted for military states...even if they have a talent for pretence at democracy.
Free health care for all, all guns and arms banned, automatic international sanction against military dictatorships wherever they can be found, no matter where they can be found.

All done by the framers of the U.S. Constitution---the largest of the Estates American. In fact George Washington was a large Slaveholder who woudn't free his own slaves even when asked if the new constitution of the U.S. applied to the Blacks and Natives. Not while I'm alive was his answer.
Looking to the updates of todays class struggles in America, it must be reminded that the America of today has the biggest means of destruction going anywhere in the modern world. Or as MLK said America is the biggest purveyor of violence globally.
The Present American Revolutionaies ought therefore to turn the question, and law against the Obama regime, and say outright that he ought to pass a law forbidding the American State Monopoly Capitalists and their obeidient Military, Courts, Prisons to weild the biggest Weapons of mass destruction production in the world.
Indeed the Obama is only pointing his fingers in a wrong direction, when advocating that the little people are the source of the problems of violence in America, when in fact America makes and sells more WMD that all the other countries on the planet Earth combined. In truth the U.S. Military is invaded to over one hundred countries and is busy killing multiples of millions of people, while wounding milions more and creating the biggest refugee problems in the modern world.
It is in the U.S. Constitution that when the government no longer serves the needs of the American People, that the American People have the duty to reform or abolish it and replace it with a government that does serve the needs of the American peoples.
Also there is the Kellogg-Briand international treaty between America and France (1928) that says the weaponery is so huge and destructive that the need is to abolish Aggressive War as any nations foreign policy, and that was signed on to the U.S. Constitution in 1928, and all international treaties signed on to the U.S. Constitution are to be treated as the Supreme law of the land.
Today that is the understatement of all times, because of the existence of Weapons that can and would destroy the entire ecological organic balances of the planet's entire web-of-life are on existence. Six overkill stockpiled as security to the nations is a on-going Big Lie, that betrays the American Peoples and all peoples globally, as well as all the plants and animals, not to mention the pollution of the air, land, and water.
These proposed wars of Aggression by America and Israel are all illegal by the anti-fascist covenants, which were brought into being by the liberation fighters of the Second World War.
In fact the entire Imperialist camp, headed by U.S. Imperialism, is presently threatening the entire living web-of-life of the planet. Here is a quote from the Nuremburg Trials (1945-46) chaired by the U.S. Judge Jackson, who wrote into international law, that the planning and doing of Aggressive war is the SUPREME INTERNATIONAL CRIME ON THE PLANET EARTH, as it actuates all other crimes high, low, big and small. He further says that it is the supreme international crime on the planet whether Germany does it or the U.S.A. does it.
That treaty is also signed on to the U.S. Constitution, so why does the American people not rise, forbid and dismantle the weapons of mass destruction, and its manufactury. That is the anti-fascist liberation side in the second world war.
Pollution from aggressive war is illegal, and the real need is to re-tool the entire industrial revolution to the renewables such as wind, tidal, and solar power that transforms to electricity, and is more power than all societies and countries can use.
That is the non-pollution solution that would end the burn-out of oxygen at the present rate by (97%) reduction that would allow mother nature to restore the disappearing oxygen being presently burnt out (38% already gone) faster than the oxygen can be replaced by nature.
Such a fail-safe mode going on presently is indeed threatening the life of all air breathing Americans, and waging aggressive wars for more and more pollution coal, gas, oil and atomic energy is moving to extinguishing the remaining oxygen.
Extinction is not liberation, and extinction does no good to any species living on the planet today.
Workers of the world unite!! End pollution wars, not endless wars for more and more pollution. Canada's First Division says that freedom is caused by dismantling the war machine and its manufactury and electing women equally, thusly restoring the matriarchy.. That the path to true liberation, but in the Western World and in all countries requires doubling democracy and electing naturally. Natures requires 50-50 electing at all levels of society to return the natural ecological organic balance and joy and hamony that is the natural man and woman question. You yet have a world to win!!
