Blue State Liberal Hubris

In the wake of the Connecticut school shootings, calls have come again for gun control. This is a show hubris by “Blue State” liberals. They must realize that the last time Democrats called for stricter gun control, the Republicans seized the issue and gained a majority in the House of Representatives. I do not think that the Republicans really represent the economic interests of most “Red Staters.” However, the Republicans were able to leverage this issue to put them into a position that allows obstruction of any progressive and needed policy, like health care. Recent news coverage estimates annual gun deaths in the United States to be between eight and thirty thousand. While tragic, I have to wonder how many more millions of lives will be lost due to inadequate health care that results from an issue, like gun control, that drives voters to the right.

Mind Control in Arizona

Media reports characterize alleged Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner's thoughts about mind control as paranoid. Loughner may be mentally unstable, but mind control is a reality and not just the stuff of so called conspiracy theory. He may even be a mind control subject as the most suitable prospects are those who are suicidal and otherwise mentally ill. There is plenty of literature, available at local bookstores, libraries and the Internet that describes the history and methods of mind control. Watching the media coverage of the incident one gets the feeling that the corporate media are trying to suck the public into some sort of emotional state instead of giving it information and provoking thought. The public needs to pull itself back from this emotional manipulation and view the coverage and the facts with some intellectual detachment. It is empowering.

The corporate media is doing its part in the manipulation, as well as fitting the facts to fit the crime. Original reports indicate that there are more people than Loughner involved including white supremacist groups, but as the next couple of days pass, the old standby “Lone Nut Gunman Theory” is advancing from authorities and the media. FBI Director, Robert Mueller, goes to Arizona to take charge of the investigation. This seems unnecessary, and Mueller is probably there to orchestrate the cover up.

What is the purpose of creating such a tragedy with a Manchurian Candidate? Usually it is part of a psychological warfare operation against a population, namely the American public. The ultimate purpose could be the destabilization of the United States and its government, leaving what remains subject to some world, corporate and fascist government. Or maybe just more strict gun control laws.
