Orlando Jihad - It's Nothing To Do With Islam Part I - Its Gun Rights


Just when we think that the socialist/communist/liberal community, or 'progressives' as they like to call themselves, cannot sink any lower, they go and surpass themselves by using the deaths of forty-nine innocent Americans in Orlando, Florida to advance their political agenda.

The now infamous quote used by Obama bag-carrier, Rahm Emanual, 'never let a serious crisis go to waste' has been standard operating procedure for the unscrupulous left on both sides of the Atlantic but watching them double down by using this particular massacre has been an unedifying experience and an indication of how fanatical they are about their ideology and their determination to impose it.

The way that President Obama used his obsession with disarming law abiding American citizens in order to shield Muslim's and Islam from blame was shameless and without conscience. It was also a clear demonstration that the man is devoid of normal human emotions with no compassion whatsoever for the victims or their loved ones.

His 'progressive' agenda is foremost in his mind at all times and he will use every opportunity to impose it right to the very last day of his Presidency and possibly beyond.

Democratic Party candidate, Hilary Clinton, is from the same flawed gene pool as the President and equally emotionless. Using the slaughtered of Orlando to push her agenda is comparable with her looking the families of the Benghazi slaughtered in the eye and lying to them over the caskets of their loved ones.

In order to exonerate Clinton and the Obama administration from blame for the Benghazi slaughter, a media management strategy was initiated to blame some obscure video for inciting the violence that led to deaths of the four brave Americans.

National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, and a host of other loyal administration mouthpieces including Clinton, were dispatched to the bought-and-paid-for media whores to repeat the White House narrative that the video was to blame knowing that narrative to be false.

Likewise after the Orlando massacre, the same loyal mouthpieces, including Clinton, have been dispatched to the same compliant media whores to repeat the White House manufactured spin line about 'weapons of war' on the streets being the cause of the tragedy and not Islamic terrorism.

It should be noted that since this 'weapons of war' line of spin was being repeated simultaneously nationwide within hours of the tragedy it must have been co-ordinated in advance ready to be activated the moment another massacre occurred.

That would suggest that the conclusion of the political strategists after the San Bernadino massacre was that the administration missed an opportunity to use the tragedy to push for gun control. This would be corrected when the next massacre occurred which they knew would be perpetrated sooner or later.

And so it came to pass, President Obama, Hillary Clinton and their loyal mouthpieces used the compliant media to push the 'weapons of war' narrative, called for stricter guns laws and questioned the validity of Second Amendment itself.

This would also suggest that the administration expected another slaughter of innocent Americans by Muslim jihadis after San Bernadino but failed to take any steps to prevent it. Like the San Bernadino killers, the Orlando killer had appeared on the security agencies radar but no follow-up action was taken.

The reasons for this lack of action are many including political correctness and the conscious policy of showing leniency toward ethnic minorities regardless of their criminal behaviour. This would be the same leniency that is shown to illegal immigrant criminals across the country but especially in the so-called 'sanctuary cities'.

In this instance despite threats by ISIS to carry out attacks on the American people as they go about their daily business the effect of the administrations deliberate distraction was to push Islam and it's adherents out of the media spotlight and replace them with the ongoing mission to disarm law abiding citizens.

It's worth noting in conclusion that the mission to disarm law abiding American citizens is an article of faith held by President Obama and the so-called 'progressive' left; in fact by his own admission he would like the disarmament of citizens to be the center piece of his legacy.

Unfortunately for Barack Obama his actions in office will decide how history will judge him, and like Jimmy Carter before him he will not be writing his own legacy, that will be written by the people who were negatively affected by his actions as President and the victims of tragedies that could have been avoided had he been resolute in the face of Muslim aggression.

Socialism = Poverty, Gun Ownership = Less Crime, Ideology = Ignorance



I have never subscribed to the view that socialism, liberalism or 'progressivism' as they call it nowadays, is a mental disease. As a reformed socialist myself I always used immaturity as the excuse for my misspent youth, probably as a self defence mechanism to save face.

Judging by the behavior of socialists today it is becoming increasingly difficult to blame immaturity for their total inability to analyze irrefutable facts and yet carry on promoting a failed ideology with such unquestioning religious zeal.

Two posts that were recommended to me not only proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that those who use the mentally ill description are correct in their opinion and that finding a universal cure for socialists is going to prove difficult.

The first is an excellent article titled Why Socialism and Wealth Redistribution Don't Work and Causes MORE Poverty, Inequality and Injustice. The article, which is barely two pages long, is laid out in such a way that even the most dumbed down reader cannot fail to agree with the authors unarguable logic. I would suggest that everyone, even socialists/progressives, read this and pass it on.

Without giving too much away, the author begins with a brief introduction into socialist logic and how it can cause further damage to the very people it is supposed to help.

The author then lists the 'Unintended Consequences of Socialist Policies', for example:

"Social programmes create more demand for those very programmes in a self perpetuating cycle because given government handouts, people come to expect and rely on them. And therefore, you can never spend enough, because the more you do, the greater the need to do so".

"Social programmes are a disincentive to work and act responsibly. After all, if some or all of your needs are taken care of, and if someone else picks up the tab whenever something goes wrong, why would you worry about such minor details as work ethic, productivity, financial responsibility and family obligations? Consequently, when productivity takes a downturn, leading to a shrinking economy, guess who suffers...everybody! Oh and as always, the rich suffer the least".

'The Road to Poverty, Inequality and Injustice' describes how socialism causes poverty by slowing economic growth and progress, causes inequality by misallocating taxpayers money into the hands of the rich and well connected and also causes injustice by the inequality it promotes.

'The Price of Socialism' illuminates the unintended consequences of socialism and likens the politicians panacea for poverty as "touting a miracle cure for cancer, yet failing to mention it causes blindness, brain damage and eventual cardiac arrest".

In Conclusion, the author states in part that "the government can completely help a small number of people, or slightly help a large number of people. What it absolutely can not do is completely help a large number of people. It's just impossible to expect a small minority, i.e. the rich, to support the rest of the population. It cannot happen".

I have spent donkey's years arguing about how socialism always ends in poverty and tears wherever it has been imposed. This sums it up concisely in one article and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The second article titled Guns in America - A Statistical Perspective was another concise explanation of the facts which cannot be refuted and should not be ignored. As in the first article the facts are laid out in such a simple manner even dumbest of students cannot fail to come to a logical conclusion that gun ownership decreases crime.

As with the first one, I highly recommend this article so I won't give too much away other than a few bullet points:

Every year, guns are used over 80x more often to protect a life than to take one.

200,000 times a year- Women use a gun to defend against sexual abuse.

3 out of five polled felons say they won't mess with an armed victim.

Highest Intentional Homicide Rate per 100,000 residents:

No 1 - Honduras: 91.6

No 2 - El Salvador: 69.2

No 3 - Cote D'Ivoire: 56.9

USA is No 103 at 4.8 per 100,000 residents and is #1 in gun ownership at 88.8% per 100 residents.

In Great Britain where the possession of firearms is banned, there are 2,034 violent crimes per 100,000 people. In the USA the figure is 466.
In the decade following the Labour Party's election in '97 and their banning of handguns, the number of recorded violent attacks soared by 77% to 1.2 million.

In the USA an analysis of crime statistics by the FBI revealed that states that had adopted 'conceal carry laws' reduced:

Murders by 8.5%

Rapes by 5%

Aggravated assaults by 7%

Robberies by 3%

And so it goes on, sourced statistic after sourced statistic all proving that firearm ownership reduces crime significantly. Even the police cannot match the armed citizen:

Police = 606 criminals killed each year

Armed citizen = 1,527 criminals killed each year.

The only reason people ignore the overwhelming truth confirmed by irrefutable facts is their mindless adherence to their ideology.

The author concludes this piece with a Final Word:

"The Democrats and their willing sycophants in the Left Leaning Mainstream Media will not engage in a debate on guns concerning the truths about safety and crime statistics mentioned above. This is because:

Gun Control Is Not About Guns.





Gun Control Is About Control.
