- Modern "liberalism" seeks to protect individual
rights by empowering large, powerful, centralized government to monitor
and guide US all towards a fairer, more equitable and compassionate society.
President Bill Clinton, himself harshly criticized as being a liberal
by his "conservative" opponents, voiced yet an opposing stance
in his pre-presidential campaign rhetoric by exclaiming that the "era
of big government was over."
-
- And American Dictator, George W. Bush, exploited this
doctrine by emphasizing that big, centralized government, as handed over
to him via the liberal dominance over American political philosophy during
the last 14 years, has now allowed for the error of big government to give
way to "compassionate conservatism" and the happy avoidance of
"nation building."
-
- If ever there was irrevocable evidence proving both the
stupidity and the futility of label-bashing and meaningless partisan mudslinging
and finger pointing, the unleashing of big centralized government intended
to maximize individual freedom has now morphed to the highest elevations
of collective liberal intent: we are now strongly united via a humongous,
powerful, centralized government that can only be defined as a total dictatorship.
-
- And the differences between Clinton's liberalism and
Bush's compassionate conservatism are now easy to see. The differences
between Democrat and Republican are even easier to see. And it should
be relatively simple to surmise, given the all-encompassing, powerful,
centralized dictatorship ruling America today, that the differences between
libertarians, constitutionalists, liberals, and conservatives are all also
totally and completely irrelevant. And that's because, given our present
situation, there are no differences!
-
- These differences might have been both prevalent as well
as relevant when our government was approachable and publicly flexible,
and allowed diversity of political approach as concerns the underlying
foundation of our nation; that being to provide maximum individual freedom
for each and every citizen. But these differences no longer apply because
our present form of government provides only maximum individual freedom
for our dictator to do as he damn well pleases! Political labels were
never a solution, nor can they serve to remedy our present political predicament.
Our government is now inaccessible to the people who are no longer relevant
and unable to participate in their own governance.
-
- The massacre of 32 students and instructors at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute by a deranged gunman who turned the gun on himself
after the bloody rampage, forces to the surface once again the debate over
the "availability" of firearms to the general public. Gun control
advocates, denounced by most conservatives and Republicans as being liberals
and socialist-oriented Democrats, always frame availability of firearms
in a negative light, choosing deliberately to ignore that it was the Founders'
fervent wish and conscious and aggressive intent to ensure, as well as
to promote, the availability of firearms. Gun control advocates either
pretend that this isn't so, or are simply ignorant of this readily provable
fact.
-
- The first ten Amendments to the United States Constitution
were specifically placed as an addendum to the body of the Constitution's
seven articles, signifying the compromise between statist centrists and
individualists thereby guaranteeing and protecting the individual rights
of each and every citizen. Liberal arguments proposing that the Second
Amendment is a collective right available to only the pre-trained, standing
military entities of the state or state-based federal reserve units subject
to federal call-up by a stroke of the president's [now dictator's] pen
represent the constitutionally defined "militia," are pure nonsense.
The Bill of Rights addresses the rights only of individuals to protect
them from transgressions by a strong, centralized, tyrannical government
or dictatorship. And this can easily be verified in the language found
in the body of our rule of law in Article I, Section 8, paragraphs 11,
14 and 15.
-
- The United States Constitution clearly protects both
the availability of firearms as well as the individual's right to own AND
to carry [bear] firearms; but to what purpose? Crime did exist back then
in those pre-revolutionary days of our colonial era, and during and after
the Revolution as well. But if anything, crime was less violent and certainly
less deadly. So why then did early Americans need government guarantees
to protect their gun rights?
-
- The fact is they didn't. As Alan Ladd said in his movie
role as "Shane": "A gun is just a tool." American
colonists and settlers used firearms in precisely that fashion: as a tool
to occasionally put meat on the table, given the predominant nature of
their agrarian economy and the dominance of the farming culture, and to
also drive off occasional bands of marauding Indians, bears and sometimes
wolves. Guns were rarely used in conjunction with criminal intent, or
as instruments of defense against crime. The Founders never addressed,
therefore, the NEED for firearms. They addressed only the fact that government
had NO RIGHT to take them away!
-
- Proof of the latter statement is readily available; early
American municipal police forces, and until very recently, police in Great
Britain, were not armed! They didn't have guns! They didn't need them!
But after decade upon decade of central state inspired freedom-stifling
laws and regulations, and after hundreds of years of central state-initiated
unnecessary and deadly wars, the human condition in America has deteriorated.
After the utterly dehumanizing total gun control bans in Britain, Australia,
and Washington D.C. right here in America, crime has skyrocketed so far
out of control that, oddly, the astonishing statistics proving that result
are simply no longer being made readily available. This of course spares
governments and their complicit mass media in those geographic areas from
having to explain these facts thereby contradicting their position on the
dire need for gun control.
-
- As to the current "proliferation" of firearms,
this again was caused by government itself. Even after the American Revolution
and the War of 1812, wide use and the availability of firearms to even
pre-teen children, was never viewed as a problem. It wasn't until America's
first major war, founded completely on political expediency and as a form
of political expression as opposed to a need for defense against foreign
invasion or internal insurrection, that firearms began to proliferate.
The westward expansion, seen as relief from the Northern aggression by
federal troops who burned, mass-murdered, raped and plundered their way
through the South destroying the lives, futures and inheritable wealth
of its Southern victims, was a direct cause of the much-hated proliferation
of firearms.
-
- Yet, our government found this proliferation extremely
useful during the westward expansion, made the more successful by the indiscriminate
mass slaughter of the desert and plains Indians. "The only good Indian
is a dead Indian." And the Thompson sub machine-gun was extremely
important and became an item of a huge war surplus after the "Great
War" to make America safe for the Federal Reserve System and the Federal
Income Tax, the latter two required to ensure America's funding capability
and participation in the war to make the world also safe for Zionism and
its philosophical brainchild: communism.
-
- The American central state's love of wars, imperialism
and guns, also brought US the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, "Machine-gun
Kelly," "Ma Barker," and "Bonnie and Clyde."
And to add insult to injury, our loving, caring and compassionate Big Brother
error of Big Government coddled and mothered its subjects, and protected
US via a general ban against alcoholic beverages. Prohibition, combined
with the proliferation of war surplus firearms, gave US the "Roaring
Twenties" and its "speakeasies." The demand by the people
for what the government wanted to protect US from for our own good, ushered
in the era of organized crime and bootleg alcohol. It brought US "Big"
Al Capone, "Buggsy" Moran, Frank Nitti, Dion O'Banion and other
notable kingpins of organized crime.
-
- To correct the error of Big Government, the central state
banned machine-guns in 1935, and also reversed their insane Prohibition
laws. But Prohibition, mandated and enforced by the 18th Amendment in
1919, was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933. The Second Amendment
has never been repealed, and just like the constitutional mandate launching
Prohibition, the Second Amendment must also be repealed by constitutional
Amendment and not by federal or lesser state statutes. In this regard,
ALL gun control mandated by ANY level of American government violates the
nation's rule of law, and is, therefore, unconstitutional and illegal.
And that too is the case as regards the virtual total repeal of our Bill
of Rights via the USA PATRIOT Act and habeas corpus [Article I, Section
9, paragraph 2] via the Military Commissions Act, the latter attacking
the vert body of the Constitution. All these laws are ILLEGAL!
-
- It is our federal government that created both the focus
on firearm violence as well as having initiated that violence and having
made it possible. Our government created a war and violence mentality,
and continues to do so. American government created organized crime and
then sought to reverse their mistake by absolving themselves in creating
the FBI and then forming the Kefauver Committee; but alas, too little,
too late. Organized crime is firmly established. And due to the errors
of our big, compassionate central government, yet another dimension of
Americana was created. Today, organized crime and "American"
government are synonymous.
-
- Al Capone raked in $60 million a year thanks to the 18th
Amendment, and earned another $45 million in other rackets. With these
huge earnings, Capone "evaded" the income tax, which put him
away in 1931. But of the $105 million per year he earned back in the "Roaring
Twenties," he turned over approximately $75 million to government
bureaucrats and elected officials for their cooperation and protection.
He virtually owned the Chicago police department and the city's administration.
In fact, Chicago is still noted as being America's number one major political
cesspool. Buying, bribing and owning politicians was introduced dramatically
by the Capone era, brought to you lovingly, compassionately, and solely
by our wondrous Big Brother central government.
-
- The error of Big Government is firmly established in
the USA. American politicians in the Congress, in the Supreme Court, and
right on up to the White House, can and are being bought, owned and totally
controlled. Once this money control could be identified to domestic organized
crime only; today this control is enjoyed by the foreign agents and representatives
of the state of Israel: AIPAC. And the criminally complicit mass media
does all it can to protect the Bush dictatorship, and helps motivate "our"
government to continue the destruction and occupation of Iraq as it continually
clamors for an attack by our military upon Iran. And remember, before
our invasion of Iraq, any Iraqi citizen could buy a machine-gun in any
gun store.
-
- It is, and continues to be, the "American"
criminal mass media that clamors incessantly for the total disarmament
of the American people. As previously offered, political labels are now
irrelevant. The American people have been pushed to the edge by their
criminal government, and those criminals are getting real worried, especially
when considering the increasing popularity of the Internet and its fact
and truth-based alternative media. And although American government is
no obstacle to the Zionist dream of a New World Order, the heart and soul
of the American people presents a serious one. For the criminals of the
NWO, gun control is the final solution.
-
- It is for these reasons that "our" mass media
is so concerned, so shocked, so hysterical, so compassionate, and so unceasing
in its efforts to disarm US totally. Never, never, believe the persuasive
rhetoric of "American" politicians who offer: "I do not
propose to take firearms away from citizens so they are unable protect
themselves and their family." Oh yes they are! These are the same
lying and bribe-taking criminals that ask: "Why do you need a gun
when you have the police and the military to protect you?" Or perhaps
this: "Only the police and military should be allowed to have guns."
-
- Considering our present American dictatorship, ushered
in by big government liberalism and compassionate conservatism, and completely
owned and controlled by the agents of a foreign government, and supported
and protected as well by our complicit mass media, the latter the loudest
and longest proponent for the complete disarming of America, isn't it painfully
obvious that our police and military do not act in our interests?
-
- Federally donated equipment and thousands of federally-funded
incentives and modernization funds provided to American police at all levels
have purchased from local law enforcement a total loyalty to federal authority.
Even now, as we evaluate precisely the conditions surrounding the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute shootings, there are reports of a "stand down"
ordered by federal law enforcement and military entities. Since when does
the federal government dictate the handling of local crime, which was reserved
for the states by our Constitution? Obviously, this has now been "legitimized"
since the federal government "bought into" local crime control
via our tax money!
-
- The monopoly of force the federal government enjoys has
now been expanded right down to the level of local town, municipal, county
and state police forces. They all serve the federal government, and therefore
no longer serve US, the American citizen. And our military is fighting
unnecessary and unconstitutional wars to enrich the military-industrial
complex and to empower the imperial reach of a small foreign nation. Our
government's military no longer serves US. And what is government if not
merely force? The police and military not only fail to serve US, they
serve only those interests basically hostile to our own interests and freedoms.
-
- Gun control, now probably being planned as the total
house-by-house confiscation first employed and enforced by Adolf Hitler
in 1938, is what launched the Holocaust. Why would our "Jewish"-dominated
media then support this? It supports it for the same reason that the "Jewish"
bankers first launched Hitler with their Versailles Treaty, and then first
funded and eventually defunded him: to bring about the social upheavals
and chaos required to justify the creation of a Zionist New World Order.
Firearms ownership guarantees the individuality of the citizenry, which
poses the American people as the sole major threat to the NWO.
-
- As predicted by this writer, gun controller and 9/11
Inquirer, Rosie O'Donnell, has been silenced. She now retreats somewhat
by conceding that gun control in America "will never work."
It would be far better if she were simply as honest as she desires our
government to be regarding the circumstances of 9/11, and accepts that
the Bush dictatorship was created by the big government liberalism she
has so fervently embraced in the past. Combining this honesty along with
the recognition that government, especially now, is the greatest threat
to human freedom as was so readily understood by the Founders, would not
only convince her of the wrong-headedness of her stance on firearms ownership,
but would probably motivate her to completely change her position altogether.
-
- Americans can no longer waste their time on issues on
anti-gun liberalism versus pro-gun conservatism. We can no longer squander
precious time meaninglessly pitting Democrats against Republicans. Such
political philosophical tripe only serves the money-making interests of
talk radio and TV pundit personalities. The contest is now between those
who believe in the Constitution, and those who do not. And the Constitution
is not divisible as it was established relying upon critical foundational
interdependencies. It cannot be selectively enforced to serve clamoring,
opposing factions. And those who do not believe in our rule of law in
totality as brought into being and intended by our Founders, and as protected
by our generations of warfighting patriots, can indeed regard and relegate
it now as being "just a goddamned piece of paper."
