Sanctimony And Hypocrisy From Europe After Florida Shooting

The shooting deaths of pupils at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida is another tragedy in a long list of tragedies that have befallen innocent Americans as they go about their daily lives.

After such a horrific incident it is right and proper that vigorous debate takes place to find the causes of the tragedy and to discuss possible solutions to prevent further tragedies in the future.

That is obviously too grown up for so-called ‘progressives’ and their fellow travelers on the left who didn’t waste a minute politicizing the incident to push their anti-gun agenda and those from the deep state who used the tragedy in their ongoing effort to tarnish President Trump and remove him from office.

What is truly absurd about this tragedy is the sanctimonious outpourings of some British people and their fellow hypocrites in Europe.

While some of these people are ordinary folks who expressed an emotionally triggered reaction, many are leftists who are using the tragedy to give voice to their inherent anti-Americanism while others are putting on display their Trump Derangement Syndrome they acquired through propaganda-induced groupthink.

While the sanctimonious fall over themselves to voice their opinions on tragic incidents in America they conveniently forget the mass killings on their own doorstep about which they remain silent.

An oft repeated sentiment is that children should be allowed to go to school without fear of being shot and killed; this is true but using the same logic people should be allowed to attend a concert or travel to work without being blown up in the concert hall or on the transport system or being mowed down as they walk on pedestrian walkways.

Awful and soul destroying as they are, the seventeen murdered teenagers in Florida pale into insignificance compared to the eighty-nine murdered teenagers at the 2015 Bataclan concert in Paris and the twenty-two murdered teenagers at the Manchester concert in 2017.

Fifty-two innocent people were killed in the 7/7 London Transport bombings in 2005, twenty-one people were killed in Brussels subway bombing in 2016 while on the same day fourteen were killed at the Brussels Airport.

Again using the same logic people should be allowed to celebrate national holidays and shop at a festive market without being killed and maimed by vehicles driven by terrorists.

Eighty-six people, including children, were killed when they were mown down by a vehicle while celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France in 2016.

Eleven people were killed when they attended a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany in 2016.

Fourteen people were mown down and killed in the Westminster and London Bridge attacks.

Five people were mown down and killed in the Stockholm attacks.

Fourteen were mown down and killed in the Barcelona attacks and so it goes on the same as it does in America, innocent people in Great Britain and Europe are being killed while going about their daily lives.

The cry goes up that it's the availability of guns in America that is responsible for these mass killings and therefore they should be banned by the government.

Since all the killings mentioned above have been perpetrated by Muslims using vehicles, home made explosives and guns, why are the same people not calling for a ban on Muslims, vehicles and the ingredients for home made explosives? It must be borne in mind that AK-47 assault rifles are already banned but that doesn't seam to bother the terrorists.

The answer to the question is a mixture of the emotional need to indulge in public virtue signaling or political activism in the case of American tragedies and cowardice in the case of British and European ones.

It’s easy to shout from the rooftops that guns should be banned in America but only the courageous would risk shouting equally as loud for Muslims to banned from PC-controlled Great Britain and the European Union nation states.

The sanctimonious hypocrites in Great Britain and Europe are saying that thoughts and prayers are not enough, urgent action is required to prevent future tragedies when that is all they get from their own leaders after every Muslim atrocity accompanied by a #hashtag campaign, a light show and a patronising lecture about how it is nothing to do with Islam.

The British and European people need to educate themselves on why firearms are available to citizens in America. The Founding Fathers drafted the 2^nd Amendment to the Constitution to allow citizens to protect themselves and their families as well as protecting the Republic from external enemies from without and internal enemies from within. (See 2nd Amendment article here)

Maybe if the people of Great Britain and Europe had similar rights their leaders would not have surrendered national sovereignty to the EU autocrats their democracies would still be intact and their descent into third world shithole status avoided.

The Deep State Is Why The 2nd Amendment Exists

Trying to explain gun ownership in America to British people is an onerous task that usually results in failure on my part. This is especially true whenever there is a shooting that results in the death or injury of innocents.

The most common response from my incredulous compatriots is that neither ordinary citizens nor deer hunters can justify owning multiple military style assault rifles with high capacity magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Despite the evidence of history they fail to grasp the fact that politicians and the ruling elites of countries around the world have usurped power and used it to oppress their own people. Neither have they grasped the fact that the western democracies are not immune from such behavior.

For decades the people of the European democracies have stood helplessly by as their political power was slowly stripped away and handed over to the autocrats of the European Union. They are now paying the price as their ancient cultures and ways of life are being deliberately destroyed by EU diktat and their individual countries transformed into a single third world shithole.

The United States is currently in the throes of a similar coup d’etat as the deep state firstly tried to fix the Presidential election in favor of the communist apparatchik, Hillary Clinton and secondly, having lost to a political outsider, they are engaged in a relentless campaign to remove him from office.

The 2^nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was added to defend the homeland from external enemies and internal rogue elements like the deep state.

Even the individual state constitutions include the right for their citizens to keep and bear arms to defend the state as well as to provide personal protection. Since the non-coastal and non border states are unlikely to be invaded by an external enemy the only entity the state would need to be defended against is the federal government.

Learning a lesson from the dictators of old, the Democratic Party and its fellow travellers campaign relentlessly to disarm the American people because they realize that an armed populace will make their usurpation of political power difficult and most likely temporary should they succeed.

The aims of the deep state in America are identical to those of the corrupt European Union dictatorship and in line with the globalist plan for a single world government. 

These include cultural and demographic replacement using open border mass immigration from the third world together with a centrally controlled socialist economy and a managed descent into third world shitholery in order to achieve the of equality of nations.

The British are one of only three countries in the world that do not have a written constitution relying instead on Acts of Parliament, court judgments and conventions which in turn relies upon honest, honorable politicians, judges and other public servants for implementation.

This long evolved system of government and guaranteed freedoms served the people well until the recent advent of the political charlatan and the deep state. They have torn up the old conventions, ignored Acts of Parliament and corrupted the criminal justice system in order to impose their own globalist agenda.

Since elections are rigged and referendum results are ignored individual liberties are being increasingly curtailed leaving the British people powerless to prevent the destruction of their ancient culture, their way of life and their descent into third world shitholery.

To conclude: the United States is one of only three countries in the world where their citizens have a constitutional right to bear arms and the only major power to do so. To avoid the fate of Great Britain, Europe and the rest of Judaeo-Christian world the American people must remain vigilant, protect the Constitution, fight the deep state and never, ever surrender their inalienable right to keep and bear arms.

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.

Michelle Malkin nails it every time. See here

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.

President Obama Re-Elected - The Fundamental Transformation of America Can Now Be Completed

I was residing in the United States of America on that fateful day in 2008 when the good people were seduced into electing a media created impostor with no history and no record of any experience in the real world outside of extreme left wing politics.

As a reformed member of the hard left I can spot a socialist a mile away. I tried to warn my friends and colleagues but they were swept up in the euphoria surrounding this telegenic, eloquent, mixed race family man with his messiah-like message of hope and change.

I tried to warn them that anyone who claims that they can heal the planet and stop the oceans from rising is an impostor who is taking them for fools and that most likely he has a hidden agenda. Candidate Obama gave us a clue of this agenda when he stated many times during the campaign that he was going to fundamentally transform America.

I begged my friends to consider that if the United States of America is the most free and the most prosperous country on the planet why would he want to transform it and more importantly, transform it into what?

Four years later, despite an appalling record of failure, too many people were still being seduced by President Obama's manufactured image and charm and sadly, they still haven't caught on to what his real agenda is all about.

The Democratic Party controlled Mainstream Media was in the bag for candidate Obama in 2008 and subsequently left him unscrutinised.

Much of his life is still a mystery but there has been enough uncovered to confirm that he is a radical socialist, a Muslim sympathiser and a supra nationalist who has little or no respect for American history, its Judeo-Christian heritage or of its culture of individual liberty and responsibility.

Let me state it now, unequivocally, just as I did to my friends and colleagues back in 2008, the fundamental transformation of America promised by candidate Obama is from a country based on liberty and free enterprise where the people can achieve whatever they set their mind to into a socialist country where the government dominates and decides how people live their lives.

The nationalisation of health care was an absolute priority for the first administration so was the need for re-election therefore the fundamental transformation of America would not be possible in a single term. With his re-election to a second term these restraints can be removed and it is a certainty that the pace of the fundamental transformation will accelerate.

This is not the first time I've watched this scenario unfold. The presidential election of 2008 was a carbon copy of the 1997 election of another telegenic, eloquent, media created impostor named Tony Blair. He also paraded his young family in front of a compliant media in order create the image of a new generation of young progressive politicians who were going to sweep away the old guard and build a new Cool Britannia.

This was going to be hope and change Great Britain style.

For the first few years the fundamental transformation of Great Britain was slow and steady. The civil service, the police and other British institutions were being politicised, under the radar, by the appointment of well paid, politically motivated placemen dedicated to the socialist cause.

Unaccountable czars together with a Common Purpose trained quangocracy were being put in place by stealth to run the government machine outside of the democratic process.

With Blair's re-election for a second term it was now or never for the fundamental transformation of Great Britain from a free and prosperous country into an impoverished, welfare addicted, multi-cultural nightmare. All the restraints were removed and the transformation picked up speed with a vengeance.

Border controls were removed and unlimited mass immigration was encouraged with the deliberate intention of  demographic and cultural replacement.  European Human Rights requirements were incorporated into British law thus making it impossible to deport even the most heinous of foreign criminals. This in effect was an amnesty for illegals immigrants.

Promises to cap government spending were broken and the floodgates were opened. Government was expanded into the expensive, bloated, inefficient bureaucracy we see today. Borrowing, deficits and debt have, in effect, bankrupted the nation.

In addition to the millions of new immigrants, welfare entitlements were increased and made available to more people, creating a new and permanent voting constituency for the socialist government.

Using equality and fairness as justification, the government confiscated wealth from anyone earning over 42,000 pounds per year for redistribution. (Approx $67,200). Direct and indirect taxes were increased both openly and by stealth and property taxes were increased by 100%.

Even though it's been exposed as a scam, Man Made Global Warming ( now renamed Climate Change) was, and still is, being used as a pretext to artificially increase energy prices which are now beyond the reach of the most vulnerable making them even more dependent on the government.

Thousands of job and wealth destroying rules and regulations were churned out by local, national and supranational politicians every day.

The most effective weapon used by the government to control the people was political correctness. This was rigidly enforced by unaccountable petty officials and bureaucrats. This enforcement has the effect of closing down any debate and suppressing free speech using the threat of prosecution or smear.

The traditional family is being ridiculed and welfare funded single parenthood is being encouraged. Traditional marriage is also being changed by the vocal campaign of the so called 'progressives' for homosexual marriage.

Controlling the message has always been the dream of socialists worldwide and with the conclusion of the Leverson inquiry into press ethics, it looks like this dream is about to come true.  Legally enforced restraints on the press freedom, censorship to you and me, are being drawn up and with the press censored the Internet will not be far behind.

One final indignity the British people had to suffer was that while their country was being transformed, their personal liberties were being taken away and their standard of living was being deliberately eroded, they were forced to watch as the politicians and their cronies who were responsible for this disaster accumulated vast fortunes, mainly with taxpayer money. Phony Tony Blair, Lord and Lady Kinnock, Baroness Uddin, Lord Taylor to name but a guilty few.

So what can America expect from an Obama second term? The following is a very brief summary of the salient points.

The President promised a new era of bi-partisan co-operation to find the solutions the American people so desperately want. This is PR and spin, he is working to implement an agenda long planned so without doubt there will be a doubling down on the transformation that has taken place during his first term.

The repercussions of the nationalisation of healthcare (Obamacare) will kick in this term, massively increasing taxes on both individuals and businesses with a subsequent increase in business failures and job losses. To make matters worse there will be fewer business start ups with a consequent negative effect on new job creation and a loss of job opportunities for school leavers and graduates.

Under the pretext of equality and fairness there will be a program of wealth confiscation for the purposes of redistribution, with a corresponding expansion of entitlements. This will be achieved by an increase in taxes on the so called 'rich.'

The threshold  for being classified as 'rich' will have to be progressively lowered as the revenue fails to materialise.

The threshold for claiming entitlements will also be lowered and the time limit for unemployment benefit will be extended or done away with completely.

The American Judeo-Christian heritage will continue to be vilified and its festivals downgraded with a subsequent upgrade of alien festivals such as India's Diwali and Islam's Ramadan.

Tradition marriage and the  family will be further subverted with the legalisation of homosexual marriage. There will be unlimited, taxpayer funded abortions and contraception for all who want it.

The President has promised to find ways of governing by bypassing Congress, so expect the trashing of the Constitution to continue. With the appointment of Supreme Court judges likely this term expect to see the Supreme Court become a tool of the administration and a rubber stamp for transformational and socialist policies.

The long dreamed of ending of the American peoples' Second Amendment rights to bear arms will finally be achieved by using supranational treaties to bypass Congress.

Unions will be paid back for their support by Federal pressure and litigation against Right to Work states and also by the implementation of Card Check laws thus ending one of democracy's fundamental requirements of a secret ballot.

The Environmental Protection Agency will continue its war on America's energy sector. The Man Made Global Warming scam (now renamed Combating Climate Change) will continue to enrich the well connected. The Cap and Trade nonsense will be resurrected.

As promised by candidate Obama, prepare for huge increases in energy prices to European levels combined with shortages and blackouts.

Socialists must control the message and they will try to suppress dissenting points of view so expect the Fairness Doctrine to be resurrected with the war on talk radio and Fox News intensified.

The left has always despised the military so expect the defence budget to be eviscerated.

This administration are Cultural Relativists who do not believe in American Exceptionalism. Equality and fairness is their justification for wealth redistribution at home and they equally apply this to nations abroad.

Redistribution of American taxpayer dollars via international aid will increase to developing countries including those that hate America and wish to do it harm.

The effect of this radical downgrade of America's status abroad will be to embolden her enemies. Just as they were after 9/11, the Hugo Chavez's and Islamic Jihadi's of this world will be dancing in the streets at this election victory. The world has become a much more dangerous place.

The administration's contempt for Israel will continue and Israeli citizens are now in mortal danger of being wiped off the face of the earth as promised by Iran's resident nutcase Ahmedinajad.

The American Jewish community's slavish dedication to the Democratic Party is about to have dire consequences in the Promised Land, their ancestral God given home.

Finally, for those of us who love liberty and prosperity and who look on America as the final redoubt against global socialism, the most soul destroying aspect of this election is the fact that victory was largely the result of the shifting demographic from historical home grown self reliance toward imported entitlement addiction and government dependency.

To make this shift irreversible this administration will give an amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants and the prospect of a conservative government in the Land Of The Free will disappear.......for ever.
