That’s only at the federal level, Escobar. I suppose it’ll come as a shock to your tiny, ill-informed — yet somehow still legislating — pseudo-mind that every state, territory, federal district, civilian and military installation has their own additional.
Individual counties, cities, and towns pile on their own laws and regulations.
I think we may have just a few regulations on guns.
If you wish to contact Dimwit Escobar, to explain the statutory and regulatory facts of life to, you can contact her office HERE. Be aware that Escobar is one of those tyrannical types who likes to vote on national legislation, but is grossly afraid of national feedback. Her contact form requires you to enter a ZIP+4 within her district to pass “Go.”
79901-1443 should work, for those of you affected by her idiocy but not resident in her district.
Have fun.

He thinks it’s a problem with those lawfully carrying firearms.
If you are allowing people to carry guns, the good guys are no longer able to be distinguished from the bad guys because if you have a bad day, and you have a gun, that bad day can elevate to an argument.
There’s a tendency that people believe if they got a gun, ‘Why have it, if I’m not using it?’ That’s just the mindset of carrying a gun.
The problem here isn’t honest folks carrying guns. It’s Mayor Adams,
Adams believes that carrying a gun for defense means you’re suddenly going to snap, to start shooting because you’re having a bad day.
Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another.
Here’s a reality check, Mayor; cash it:
Those people who go to the trouble of lawfully carrying a firearm for defense rarely “snap.” Based on personal experience, conversations with other carriers, reading, and firearms classes, the opposite is the case.
We aren’t carrying because we hope to kill someone. If I can make it through my life without ever having to do that, I’d be happy.
Because we know from education and training that actually firing a gun anywhere but a range, or hunting, can bring down a load of legal and moral pain, we are more likely to attempt to deescalate a situation, rather than default to Kill ’em all; let G-d sort ’em out.
We carry defensively because we value life, even that of a scumbag… up to the point that such a creature forces us to prioritize one life over his.
I’ve been carrying firearms, professionally and personally, for over forty years. Not once have I ever thought He’s annoying me. I have a gun. Why not just put the bastard out of my misery?
I have been in situations where the thought Oh please don’t make me draw has gone through my mind.
But Mayor Adams seems incapable of that mindset, or even granting that someone else might have that I-don’t-want-to-shoot-anyone mindset.
That appears to leave Adams with the Oh, g-d; I’m gonna kill someone mindset. He knows it, and assumes everyone else is like himself.
On an intellectual level, I’m curious as to how he can live with that sort of self-loathing. But, really, I don’t want those sort of destructive — of self and others — thoughts in my head.
I suppose this is why people like Adams can support no-due process “red flag” laws, and other forms of victim disarmament. They know damned well that they themselves should probably be red-flagged and disarmed. For cause.

Yeah…You know, I’ve heard from people on the right and left, via radio, TV and just people that Putin is “crazy”. Crazed madman, crazed from covid. I’m not so sure.
I still haven’t figured out how President Puddin’head handing over US sovereignty isn’t treason, but few others are saying it, so guess his puppeteers figure he’s in the clear. What will that entail? Well, since he’s handing it over to the W.H.O., here’s a previews.
WHO is Set to Officially Recommend Every Country Adopt COVID Lockdowns in Abrupt Change to Policy. I listened to a radio show today and one of the things they talked about what how the W.H.O. had objected to the lockdowns, stating the cost of them in terms of harm could yield greater damage than the disease. As indeed it did. But the lockdown was never about health, it was about power. And what is the new threat on the horizon now that President Putin has cured covid?
MONKEYPOX!! The “k” is silent. But don’t fret, President Puddin’head is right one it! After a case in Massachusetts his puppeteers have ordered millions of doses of “vaccine”. And how big a threat is Moneypox?
Do you wonder what it will look like when the US is under the control of the W.H.O.? Did you know the World Economic Forum has their own paramilitary police force? Political commentator Jack Posobiec found out today when he was at Davos. He had passport, papers and press pass and still got hauled behind a building. Apparently things deescalated some when another blogger showed up and started filming. Kind of reminds me of the goons in Canada during the Trucker’s freedom convoy in unmarked uniforms. The reason we aren’t Canada right now is the Second Amendment.
World Economic Forum’s Stasi
What always follows pandemics? Famine, which is followed by war. With President Puddin’head’s puppeteers policies we are well on the way. Soaring inflation, soaring gas prices, no baby formula and President Puddin’head’s FDA kept the Abbott factory closed, and they have yanked more permits for drilling. Then there are the Russian sanctions, ah yes. Those much vaunted sanctions. Any idea where the majority of the wheat comes from? Russia and Ukraine. India has announced they are not going to export any except to maybe needy nations. Congress is sending more 140 some billion more to Ukraine, while denying money to small American businesses. Must be some reason.
Partners in crime?
So this will drag on in Ukraine, and this is not about the Ukrainian people who don’t want to live under communism, who does? Besides people who think they will end up at the top of the heap like Bernie Sanders and AOC.
But with war continuing in Ukraine, and sanctions against Russia I wouldn’t be looking for a surplus of bread any time soon.
So, with President Puddin’head’s puppeteers proclaiming a new (and improved) coming pandemic how many will fall for it? I listened to a very interesting podcast with Mattis DeSmet today, the topic was mass formation, or group think if you will. https://jermwarfare.com/blog/mattias-desmet
One of the things Professor Desmet said is those who have not bought into the hive mind, or group think have got to keep speaking out. He talked about a show he did recently and he said he got so much mail from people that said while they were listening to the show, it was like they were waking up and they could see where their previous thought processes had been off. He felt our best chance of saving at least some of them (the cult covidians) was to keep speaking out. But it’s about saving ourselves as well from the things they will demand the government do to us in the name of “safety”.
Which leads me to my next point, speaking out.
This censorship of Russia, and anything Russian. RT news in America recently shut down. Well, with the services canceling them, I can see why. Al Jeezera still on? Just checking. Another podcast was with a former reporter for RT news, and it was pretty interesting. She talked about the freedom she had as a journalist working for them. That she had been free to pursue some stories she would never have been allowed to cover on FOX or CNN. The interview was about the hate that had been directed at her personally since February. It’s also available on Spotify. Jerm Warfare. The interview is Rachel Blevins. I know, lots of listening today, what can I say? I was working on a mower.
But the level of censorship and hatred directed at President Putin (who I still do not think is a nice guy) is usually reserved for American doctors who had cheap easily available cures for corona virus. And in fact, can be used for other viruses. It is usually reserved for people that try to submit evidence that there was massive cheating in the 2020 elections. That much hatred directed at a man who is head of a communist country? The rabid left loves communism, so this is very odd. What is it the American oligarchs don’t want the citizens to hear? I heard (but not confirmed) Russia did not lock down their citizens nor was there a vax mandate. Are they afraid we’re going to compare death statistics? I don’t know, but there is some reason for this.
They have continued to blame Putin for election interference, for gas price spikes, for rising prices and probably the heartbreak of psoriasis! Vice President Word Salad shows up in Ukraine urging them to join NATO, and the media claims the US gave information to the Ukraine to sink the Russian warship and to target Russian Generals. Then Ginger Goebbels Psaki trots out and says it’s not true. Now, if the majority of American citizens know she lies like a cheap rug….I’m guessing Putin might have a clue as well. The Bull Durham investigation has shown there was no Russian interference, Crooked Hillary cooked it all up. (Prayers for Robbie Mook at this trying time). The disgraced and discredited FIB and CIA apparently “couldn’t” figure it out. I want my tax dollars back. Now we have RINO Romney, Mitt Romney Calls on NATO to Prepare for Potential Russian Nuclear Strikes. Well, lets see, we have millions of people in the US now and we have no clue who they are, so. Of course Romney has a pony in the race, his son as well as Pelosi’s, Kerry’s and of course Biden’s are all involved in the Ukraine. The country the IMF ranks as one of the corrupt. You know, it’s interesting, I don’t speak Russian, I know not that much about Russia, although someone did tell me on Shabbat that Putin has made it better for the Jews, but some of the videos I’ve seen on GAB (who don’t censor) have English subtitles and according the videos it is the Russians who have been helping the Ukrainian citizens more, and some of the atrocities have been Ukrainian. I dunno, I don’t speak either language.
But the point here is, everything President Puddin’head’s puppeteers and his corrupt friends in the pub party have been doing are set to provoke and poke the Russian bear, and harm American citizens. If you really think Putin is crazy, why are you doing that? You don’t poke crazy. One of the shows I listened to today, I’m not sure which one, pointed out that Putin had set down a set of items that Russia wouldn’t tolerate. They said he had been clear and had been saying it for a long time. It’s not like he just woke up cranky one morning and out of the blue decided to take a jaunt into Ukraine. Somehow I don’t hear much conversation about that though.
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. We are well past that with President Puddin’head.
Keeping your friends close can be a challenge
We are at an unprecedented place in American history. The forces allied against us, U.S. are without and within. And the within are the worst of the lot. I think the leaders of almost (if not all) of the world’s countries right now are corrupt, and I think they are determined to pit us against one another because if we figured out we all pretty much want the same thing (I’m leaving Islam out of this, by the way, that’s a whole nother kettle of fish) then we might decide we just prefer to get along, work together and live in peace. And so I’ll leave you with a thought from Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (in Ukraine) and a story from Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch.
“At this point, in this closely-divided Congress, do you see any appetite right now to take up, once again, the idea of an assault weapons ban in this country?”
The question was clearly a pre-planned softball for the half-witted Dim. The scumbag reportedly used a NY SAFE Act-compliant Bushmaster XM-15 rifle; a non-“assault weapon.”
The ditz still flubbed it.
We need to do something about making sure that bad guys don’t get their hands on handguns.
The context was the Buffalo shooting. He did not use a handgun; it was a NY SAFE Act-compliant Bushmaster XM-15 rifle.
And we need to make sure that these assault and automatic weapons don’t get in the hands of bad guy
One more time, moron: It was not an “assault weapon.” It was not an automatic weapon (something even NY Gov. Hochul could figure out).
And now we enter the Twilight Zone. Picking up where she left off…
And we need to make sure that these assault and automatic weapons don’t get in the hands of bad guys, and sometimes, bad women. Because, again, I’ve been rabbit hunting.
-blink- Um, what? Let’s simplify that.
We need to get guns out of the hands of bad women because I’ve been rabbit hunting.
Aaaall righty, then.
So now I come to the questions I think Garcia should answer.
1. Are you on drugs?
Because you sound like you’re on drugs. And not prescription goodies. On the other hand…
2. If you are not on drugs, should you be? (The prescription sort, this time.)
3. If neither recreational nor prescription pharmaceuticals were involved, is your stupidity natural or the result of an accident?
I could add a fourth question prompted by this:
Handguns, in my view, are not for hunting. They’re not for protection. I think handguns are, frankly, for killing people.
Oddly enough, I have never killed anyone with a handgun. I even bought one large-bore handgun specifically for hunting. I have used a handgun for defense. So…
4. Are my non-killing handguns defective, and should I demand refunds?
The first three questions were submitted to Garcia’s office. They did not respond to multiple emails.
Go figure.

As you may, or not, have heard, the JoBama crime regime is on the verge of handing over U.S. sovereignty to the W.H.O. You know, I always figured it would be the U.N. that would be the issue, and I do believe they will play a role as the W.H.O.’s enforcers, but it will be the corrupt W.H.O. with their oligarch benefactors that will be running the show.
It seems when the elections of 2020 were corrupted by the demoncrats and their allies in the corporate media and technology, a series of planned events began like the falling of a domino. See the movie 2000 Mules for evidence on this one. Dinesh D’Souza, doing the job American “journalists” , cough cough, choke choke, won’t do.
These regulations are a “binding instrument of international law entered into force on 15 June 2007.”3 U.N. members states can be required by law to obey or acquiesce to them.
There are many groups and people that believe the Covid-19 flu was timed and/or engineered to affect our elections. This group has a lot of good information on their web site to back up the claim, and a video. Members are doctors, lawyers, and others who have been fighting the use of covid to seize freedom from citizens of every country. https://stopworldcontrol.com/. You must admit, ordering all those covid-19 test kits a year or two ahead of the actual pandemic is amazing. Apparently, Miss Cleo is back in biz. So, there is a domino. If you just want to see the video they’ve put together giving evidence on why they believe the pandemic was planned, that’s here.
On May 22-28, 2022, ultimate control over America’s healthcare system, and hence its national sovereignty, will be delivered for a vote to the World Health Organization’s governing legislative body, the World Health Assembly (WHA).
This threat is contained in new amendments to WHO’s International Health Regulations, proposed by the Biden administration, that are scheduled as “Provisional agenda item 16.2” at the upcoming conference on May 22-28, 2022.1
These amendments will empower WHO’s Director-General to declare health emergencies or crises in any nation and to do so unilaterally and against the opposition of the target nation. The Director-General will be able to declare these health crises based merely on his personal opinion or consideration that there is a potential or possible threat to other nations.
If passed, the Biden Administration’s proposed amendments will, by their very existence and their intention, drastically compromise the independence and the sovereignty of the United States. The same threat looms over all the U.N.’s 193 member nations, all of whom belong to WHO and represent 99.44% of the world population.2
These regulations are a “binding instrument of international law entered into force on 15 June 2007.”3 U.N. members states can be required by law to obey or acquiesce to them.
….
Although sponsored by an American administration, WHO’s most significant use of this arbitrary authority to declare national emergencies will be used against the United States if our government ever again dares to take anti-globalist stands as it did under the Trump administration.
Because this treaty was originally signed in 2007, I don’t believe this needs to go through the approval process again. This is “just” amendments from the JoBama crime regime. And another domino bites the dust.
Here’s a bit about those amendments from Leo Hohmann:
According to the WHO’s website, on March 30, 2021, 25 world leaders announced an “urgent call for an International Pandemic Treaty,” stating that such a treaty is needed to orchestrate a single globalized response to pandemics. These “25 heads of government and international leaders” have come together in a joint call to form the treaty.
Don’t forget that Yuval Noah Harari, the chief advisor to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, has stated that globalist elites will use “crises” to bring about world government.
“Catastrophe opens the door” to massive changes that people would otherwise never accept, Harari said.
But even more pressing than the treaty itself right now, is something almost no one is paying attention to in U.S. political, religious or media circles, and that involves a set of amendments that will amend an existing treaty, the International Health Regulations. The U.S. government has submitted amendments to 13 articles within those regulations, which are administered by the WHO, and these amendments are seen by many as sovereignty killers.
A UN report from May 2021 called for more powers for the WHO stating that, “In its current form, the WHO does not possess such powers […]To move on with the treaty, WHO therefore needs to be empowered — financially, and politically.“
The WHO will be hosting its annual meeting, the 75th World Health Assembly, May 22-28 in Geneva, Switzerland, attended by delegates from at least 194 nations. It is during this Assembly that members will be voting on the amendments that will hand over additional sovereignty, control and legal authority to the World Health Organization. The WHO, if these amendments are approved, will obtain the authority to declare an international health emergency, overriding national governments.
Now one might think, why on earth would the President of the United States, leader of the free nation, want to turn over sovereignty of the country to an un-elected bunch of bureaucrats that haven’t been correct about much of anything about covid-19. Why, this would leave his citizens no recourse to whatever tyranny the corrupt Tedros (owned and installed by China, much as JoBama was) decided to force on them?
But you get to go to heaven!
No word yet if Vladimir Putin will be handing over Russian sovereignty to a globalist cabal or not. But gosh, I guess if he didn’t, it would be like the whole world (almost) would be united against Russia. But, you wouldn’t think the whole world would unite against one nation just because they made a different choice. A choice they felt was in the best interest of their citizens, their families, would you? Seems a horrible way to thank Putin for curing covid, right? And one day after I write this, we know the answer Russia Moves To Withdraw From WTO, WHO
Yeah, at this point I’d believe it. I mean look at how people treated those that for some reason or another chose not to take the experimental gene therapy injections? This is just on a far grander scale. Fellow write Y.B. Ben Avraham sent me a fascinating article. Letter to the Menticided: A 12-Step Recovery Program
“Menticide is an old crime against the human mind and spirit but systematized anew. It is an organized system of psychological intervention and judicial perversion through which a powerful dictator can imprint his own opportunistic thoughts upon the minds of those he plans to use and destroy.”
* * *
“Ready made opinions can be distributed day by day through press, radio, and so on, again and again, till they reach the nerve cell and implant a fixed pattern of thought in the brain. Consequently, guided public opinion is the result, according to Pavlovian theoreticians, of good propaganda technique, and the polls a verification of the temporary successful action of the Pavlovian machinations on the mind.”
~~Joost Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind
The whole thing is well worth reading, but one of the videos embedded explains so well why I believe that many people in the U.S. will go along with this treaty, beg for it, just like they do to have experimental injections put into their innocent children as they sacrifice them on the alter of the Golden Fauxci Molech.
We aren’t really dealing with evil people per se, but stupid ones. And they are more dangerous to us, U.S. After years of public education, corporate media, dumbed down entertainment and equity as opposed to equality in outcomes, this is what we are up against, the side against freedom and law abiding citizens.
Now, the politicians? They aren’t necessarily stupid, they are sadistic and power greedy. I enjoy war correspondent Michael Yon’s columns. His insight from what I’ve read and heard him say is pretty accurate. His take on the Biden crime regime? You are being too generous if you attribute this to incompetence. The Myth of “If Only He knew,” or “When he finds out this will end…”
It seems Dr. Martinson has come around to a paradigm more aligned with my own. This is not incompetence. They know what they are doing. This is war.
Old proverbs and sayings can be very useful branches, thought-shortcuts, to help just get to accurate answers quickly. But those same sayings can be traps. This is one reason it’s better to use a dumb Bloodhound while tracking men than to use a very smart Border Collie.
Firstly, the Bloodhound has a better nose — AND USES IT. The Bloodhound just follows the facts that its senses detect. Follows the evidence. Border Collies often follow their memories. Lassie (well, not a Border Collie) remembers the last man she found was in a ditch, and so Lassie runs around checking all the ditches. Lassie was last seen disappearing over the horizon checking a long ditch.
Lassie is using the equivalent shortcut of “never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence.” And they look with those brilliant eyes barking, “See! I know the shortcut to wisdom!” Meanwhile, the dumb Bloundhound in the last hour found a missing child, tree’d a kidnapper, got on the trail of a female Bloodhound, and sired a new litter all while Lassie is still running down the ditches knowing she’s going to get that guy. Lassie tracks with her eyes and memory. Bloodhound tracks the available evidence and is equivalent to a weapon’s system.
The evidence is clear. We are under attack. When I say this, the Lassies typically say, “Never attribute to malice what can be found in a ditch.”
….
I am down here in Panama and can say with clarity that comes dry season in December/January when the Darien jungles are easier to cross when famine is ripping across Africa and many other places, we may see literally millions of people come through here and blow right across the US borders.
Baby formula? Lol. You can take the Haitians out of Haiti but some of these thugs will be taking homes by force.
The whole column is worth reading, really.
So the W.H.O. has the power to decide what and when a pandemic is, and can use the U.N. to enforce the nations to do what the W.H.O. says. So, like the CDC used to yammer on about an “epidemic of gun violence”, well then, that would be right up the W.H.O.’s ally wouldn’t it?
So, there is a petition you can sign, but this travesty starts in just a couple of days.
According to Dr. Tess Lawrie, there may be another chance to have input.
According to the WHO, the next round of written and video public participation in the pandemic treaty will take place on 16-17 June.
Have you ever wondered why the power crazy demoncrats haven’t backed off of any of their disastrous plans and policies that have hurt American citizens at every turn? I mean you hear Republicans talking about a “red wave” in the fall, and while it’s true Blacks and Hispanics are fleeing the power drunk dims, don’t you get the feeling there is a reason the dims aren’t backing off? It’s almost as though they think they don’t have to worry about “red waves”, fall or elections. They are just trying to get as many pieces in place as quickly as they can. Enough pieces that there is no coming back.
Whether there is a way or not, I do not know. I know that G-d determines outcomes, but there are very few fantastic achievements I’ve ever seen that didn’t require some amount of effort on the part of the person submitting those prayers. And I think lots and lots of prayers on in order. Because what it is, is tyranny on a scale we’ve never seen, and the last domino just dropped.
Traditionally, Dims have avoided gunpeople control bills when elections are coming. It’s a campaign killer (right, Duke Nukem?). Certainly the money is on the same thing being the case this cycle.
But if you have no intention of allowing fair and honest elections (again), what’s the harm in pushing a bill to license gun ownersregister all firearms and owners via a “may issue” federal licensing system?
Except as provided in subsection (d), it shall be unlawful for any individual to purchase or 5 receive a firearm unless the individual has a valid Federal 6 firearm license.
You would have to undergo training, written testing, and practical testing. Before you can apply for that license you may not be…granted.
No.
has submitted identifying information on the firearm that the person intends to obtain, including the make, model, and serial number, and the identity of the firearm seller or transferor;
If you’re buying from an FFL, you have to tie up his inventory for a potential sale that may not ever be allowed. Whomever you’re buying from, you have to register the firearm and current possessor… for a license that may never be granted.
No.
There are the usual disqualifications for a license, including, but not limited to, 18 U.S. Code § 922 restrictions. What else could disqualify you?
Ever being arrested. For almost anything. Not indicted or convicted. Arrested.
No.
Here’s another disqualifier.
any recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition, or other deadly weapons;
Bought some steak knives for the kitchen? Sorry; deadly weapons. Ammo for another — licensed/registered — firearm? You’re screwed.
No.
Let’s say you managed to pay for the training and testing, found a dealer willing to tie up potentially unsellable inventory for a month or more, hadn’t bought any ammo or pocket knives recently (and what constitutes “recent” anyway; the bill doesn’t say), and got your cattle tag and a home defense gun.
The Attorney General shall revoke a license issued under this section if the Attorney General determines that—
(i) the licensee poses a significant danger of bodily injury to self or others by possessing, purchasing, or receiving a firearm;
Huh. While the original issue sections specify some ways to determine that a would-be licensee is a threat to self or others, this revocation parts leaves all that out. It’s solely up to the AG’s “determination.”
And — by definition — you pose a significant threat merely by possessing, purchasing, or receiving a firearm that you jumped through the licensing and registration hoops for. Obeying this law would be proof that you’re a threat.
No. Wait; not just no. That’s “H— f—— NO.” And fold that bill up until it’s all sharpy pointy corners, and shove it somewhere personally painful. Preferably in a place from which surgical removal would be necessary.
But one element of the cluster-f— was of special interest.
“They called me at 1 p.m., on Tuesday, and apologized for not telling me, saying they were not comfortable having too many people know about the raid before it happened. They were hitting several gun shops as part of an annual thing.” [emphasis added]
Judge: You want a warrant to raid an FFL? Let’s see your probable cause.
ATF: It’s May again.
Judge: Ah. Right. -signs paperwork- Have fun.
I want to see the warrant, probable cause affidavit, and the judge’s name.

On Wednesday, I heard about an incident on Lufthansa flight 401, a Boeing 747-8 that flew from JFK to Frankfurt, that was almost too hard to believe. Allegedly, Lufthansa refused to allow any of the Jews from that flight onto their connecting flight to Budapest, while non-Jews were free to continue on their journeys. Two dozen armed police officers ensured that no Jews boarded the flight or caused issues at the gate.
YouTube just removed our video showing a Lufthansa supervisor blaming problems on #TheJews due to it "violating our hate speech policy".
Apparently the excuse Lufthansa is using to refuse to honor the tickets bought by the Jews is…masks.
While US carriers have dropped mask requirements, rules in airports and on foreign carriers can be confusing. For example, you don’t need to wear a mask on KLM planes to their Amsterdam hub, but you do need to wear it in the Amsterdam airport. You do need a mask on Lufthansa planes to their Frankfurt hub, but you don’t need to wear a mask in the Frankfurt airport.
Lufthansa flights from JFK and Newark to Frankfurt on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, were filled with Jews, mostly Hasidic.
….
Lufthansa requires surgical masks or N95s to be worn on flights, and handed out 3 ply masks to everyone who didn’t have a mask or only had a cloth mask at boarding.
Hope they get sued for pulmonary damage making people wear those things on long flights
Microplastic fibres were found deep in the lower lungs of living human beings in almost every person sampled in a recent UK study.
The study from Great Britain discovered microplastic particles — present in many COVID-19 masks — in the lung tissue of 11 out of 13 patients undergoing surgery.
Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the most prevalent substances present in the lungs.
The microscopic plastic fragments and fibres were discovered by scientists at Hull York Medical School in the UK. Some of the filaments were two millimetres long in patients undergoing surgery whose lung tissue they sampled.
The plastic dust and microscopic debris comprises the same plastics used to manufacture the ubiquitous surgical masks worn by hundreds of millions of people around the world as mandated by governments in an attempt to halt the spread of COVID-19.
But back to our story.
They told me that there was zero mask enforcement in first class and that one of the first class flight attendants was not wearing her own mask for most of the flight. Passengers in first class didn’t wear masks for most of the flight and weren’t asked to.
From talking to several passengers in economy, it seems like there were a couple of isolated masking issues in economy class, both among some visibly Hasidic Jews as well as non-Jews. It’s a shame that they flouted the rules, but it’s unclear why those few passengers weren’t singled out for punishment as would happen on most airlines in the world.
….
David Landau told me that at 7:20am they finally started boarding, but this was no typical boarding. The gate agent was paging individuals by name to come up and board the flight. He recalled that the paged individuals that were able to board were not visibly Jewish, but he recalled that a Rosen was paged and he saw that he didn’t make it onto the flight.
….
Yitzy tried asking the Lufthansa agent if being Jewish made him part of “the group from NYC,” but police kept them away from the Lufthansa agents, while saying that they were just there to enforce what Lufthansa tells them to do. It seemed to him that Lufthansa was using the police to shy away from answering passengers’ questions.
Ahhh, the old “Just following orders” canard. The good Germans.
But Lufthansa has now (in their opinion) made everything all okie dokie.
They apologized to the Rabbi of Berlin and the employee that perpetrated this modern day example of anti-semitism has been suspended. No idea for how long, not fired. Just suspended.
Lufthansa’s head office reached out to him to setup the video chat. I asked the Rabbi why he thought the airline called him, instead of a Rabbi in Frankfurt, home of the incident and the airline’s base. He wasn’t positive, but notes that Berlin is the capital city and that he has worked with the federal government and companies in the past when similar cases about anti-Semitism have surfaced.
Rabbi Teichtal said that the CEO’s apologies sounded genuine and personal, a far cry from the generic “apology” that was published by the airline yesterday which ignored anti-Semitism and merely “regretted the circumstances.” That non-apology also referred to the passengers on the flight as a group, when in fact there were many passengers who booked their own travel and were also denied boarding to Budapest.
Yeah, I’m guessing he has worked with the German authorities on anti-semitism as he himself has been attacked more than once in Berlin.
Lufthansa refused to book the Jews on other flights, banned them from the airlines for 24 hours, wouldn’t refund their money and then blamed them for the problems. The original link I gave has a lot of videos shot by the passengers asking why they can’t continue their flight.
Passenger: Just the Jewish people on that flight?
Lufthansa: Do you want to discuss with me or no? Do you want to listen to me?
Passenger: I’m like shocked beyond, never in my adult life. I’ve never heard this.
Lufthansa: If you want to do it like this, Jewish people who were the mess, who made the problems.
So yeah Lufthansa, calling the Rabbi in Berlin (when the incident took place in Frankfurt) not refunding money, not personally calling every passenger you stole money from and traumatized totally makes it cool beans. /sarcasm.
As Jack Posobiec says, “Know what part of the movie you’re in”.
On April 1, 1933, a general boycott against German Jews was declared, in which SA members stood outside Jewish-owned stores and businesses in order to prevent customers from entering.
Covid, like hitler used health, has made nazis out of teachers, flight attendants, shop keepers and torn families apart thanks to the medical lies and attempted tyranny by the left in not just America but world wide. We don’t have to turn a blind eye again.
You might think that headline is the big news. Not really. We already know red flag laws don’t work.
The news here is that Garen Wintemute, the victim-disarmament advocate who previously couldn’t find data he could not twist, finally hit a brick wall. And worse.
Firearm Violence Following the Implementation of California’s Gun Violence Restraining Order Law
VROs were not associated with reduced population-level rates of firearm violence in San Diego County, but this may change as the number of orders increases over time; the association between GVROs and firearm violence at the individual level cannot be inferred from our findings and should be the subject of future studies.
Wintemute is notable for crappy “studies” using bogus tools like synthetic controls (imaginary populations, because real populations wouldn’t support his predetermined “results”), tossing out most of the inconvenient data (because two-thirds of the subjects declined to kill themselves), and using personally identifiable data obtained through legally dubious means (so dubious that California tried to pass a bill to legalize it). He has also violated privacy rules with covert surveillance.
This paper was another example of a synthetic control; an artificial “San Diego.”
To estimate the association between GVRO implementation and firearm violence in San Diego, we used the synthetic control method, a quasi-experimental comparative case study design.
This was a particularly egregious example. To the extent that synthetic controls have any value, you build one by using data from populations (other California counties, in this case) with conditions and populations similar to the variable you wish to examine, except for the variable in question. That is, when studying the effects of a red flag law on a county, you would make up an imaginary comparison county from places that don’t have a red flag law.
All California counties were subject to the same statewide red flag law.
Properly, if you want to see the effects on San Diego County of the red flag law, you simply do a temporal analysis of per capita homicides and suicides in San Diego prior to law passage and after implementation. Wintemute didn’t need a synthetic San Diego to come to a conclusion; he already had real San Diegos without a red flag law (pre-2016) and with a red flag law (post-2016). You use a synthetic control when you don’t expect real world data to support your preculsion.
For example, one year after Florida passed a red flag law, homicides and suicides went up. That was especially nasty, because for two years prior to passage both rates had been declining.
Two years after the Florida law’s passage, and homicide and suicide rates were still increasing.
[Side Note: To anyone with an operational brain, this was… a no-brainer, so to speak. You have a potentially violent –to self or others — person. You piss him off, or depress him, off by stealing his property without due process. Then you simply leave him loose on the streets. WTH did they expect to happen?!]
The violent crime trend reversed post-Red Flag, to increase.
Suicide Rate per 100,000
2013: 12.9
2014: 12.5 (down)
2015: 12.0 (down) 2016: 12.0 (no change) Red Flag Passes
2017: 12.3 (up)
2018: 12.86 (UP!)
The suicide rate trend reversed post-Red Flag, to increase.
Such a surprise. Not.
Wintemute et al went with a synthetic control — showing no effect of the Red Flag law to hide the fact that no only did it have an effect, but it appeared to make things worse.
* Sorry; I had to go with Violent Crime Rate, which includes homicides, because multiple fast searches didn’t turn up homicide rates broken out separately. There’s only so much I can do without funding.

The Second Amendment rights movement has suffered what I consider to be some grievous losses the last few years. We lost Brad Alpert in 2019 who’s Second Amendment activity went way back to 1966. We lost his beloved wife Jo Ann just a few weeks ago. She was a Southern Second Amendment powerhouse in her own right. They were some of the smartest people I ever met, and many a time a visit to see them would sooth my troubled heart, soul or both. Not to mention they were a great source of inspiration.
I’m not on FakeBook much at all anymore, but a quick check in showed me we lost a another stalwart on the 15th of April.
And then last night I got a phone call from an old friend, going way back to 2004. January 22nd of 2004 to be precise. I was a young(er) country gal who had traveled to the state capitol to attend a hearing for a court case against Missouri’s concealed carry law. I was going to write my first column for a grassroots Missouri Second Amendment rights group. I didn’t know anyone. I was going because I didn’t have to work that day, and I wanted to see it, and write about it. And it became what I consider to be a life shaping event. I met some amazing people that day, people I had only heard of in Second Amendment rights group meetings. People that had been instrumental in getting concealed carry passed in the state of Missouri. One of those people was John Ross, the author of Unintended Consequences. It is a big book, it combines history with his modern day story line and while I haven’t read it for a few years, in some ways I think it’s prophetic. As I recall it’s towards the beginning there is a part that takes place in the Warsaw ghetto. I was hooked. Part of it does have some pretty graphic scenes, just a warning up front. But it’s a once you read it, you’ll never forget it. I remember when it came out he, and his ex-wife were harassed by alphabet soup agencies, but the book still went on sale.
My phone call last night was from my friend Michael Meyer (who despite never getting me a Clydesdale, I still adore) telling me John had passed on. I didn’t even know he had been working on his next book. Who knows what that might have been like. Michael said everyone was in shock. I get it, I am as well. I told Michael it’s because we never expect our legends to die. I guess some people have been looking on the net for that original column I did, about meeting them all. So I’m sharing some pictures with you from that day, the lunch at Madison’s and Michael generously shared some really good pictures of John with me.
I was in the presence of Warrior Angels that day, I still aspire to become one, and to inspire others to become one as well. Because I stand on the shoulders of giants.
In the Presence of Warrior Angels
I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Missouri Supreme Court (MOSC) hearing on the 22nd of January. It was an amazing experience for us. We found out by attending the WMSA meeting the night before that we needed to be there around 10 AM, rather than the 2 PM we had planned on. There would be tickets given out to enter the hearing. So I got up bright and early so I could leave on time. If you have never had to wake up chickens to feed them, it is pretty funny.
After an uneventful journey, I arrived around 9:40 AM found a parking spot in a 2 hour parking meter lot and got all set. I knew what the building looked like from internet hunting. I had ever been to the MOSC. I went in and passed through the metal detectors. Seemed an unnecessary step to me, as there was a big sign on the door to the effect of no weapons beyond this point. All criminals will certainly obey that sign, so why both with the metal detector? Then the intrepid Marshal went through my purse, more or less. Now that is bravery! We all left our cell phones on a table along with everyone else’s. I was told we couldn’t take our camera upstairs, so I asked the Marshal if I could take a photo by the beautiful marble stairway. He said sure. I started to take the photo, and a very nice gentleman, who turned out to be John Gordon, came up and offered to take a photo. Then tongue in cheek (at least I think it was) he asked which side we were on. I told him, VERY pro. He smiled and said as long as I was on the right side and laughed. John took the photo. Afterwards we met Tom Mendenhall, both were from Columbia. There were another group of men standing around, mostly in suits, I wondered which side they were on. While we were waiting for the tickets to be given out I amused myself by trying to figure out which side folks were on according to how they dressed and acted. After a while a line formed, we asked Carl, the guard behind the desk, by this time we were on a first name basis with Carl, if we should get in line. He softly laughed and said he didn’t know why folks were forming the line, that the tickets would be given out in order of arrival, and the Marshal knew the order of the arrival. Shortly after 10 AM, out he came and proceeded to pass out tickets. As we walked outside Dennis told me he had traded tickets with the gentleman that was walking out with us, so he could sit with his friends. I asked if we were still sitting together, he said we were. The gentleman then introduced himself. Tim Oliver. I lunged across Dennis and yelped TIM OLIVER?? THE Tim Oliver? He laughed and said yes. He told us he had a table reserved at Madison’s for lunch, we should come. Now we are in a strange city, we don’t know anyone, and this nice man invites us to join his group. We asked if he was sure there would be enough room for us. He said sure. He told us where it was, so we set out to move our car and find the place. We found it. It turned out, it was across from the parking garage. We went in and began our meeting of Warrior Angels. It was the most amazing thing, we ended up having lunch with Tim Oliver, Greg Jeffery, Tom Mendenhall and John Gordon on one side of the table. On the other was Dennis, Mike Meyer, John Ross (Author of Unintended Consequences, which if you haven’t read it, wow, you should!) and C. Michael Gamble. These are men who have labored long and hard in the fight for our Second Amendment Rights. They are intelligent, informed and generous of nature. They allowed two folks from the country who were pretty much alone in the city to be a part of their group and within 5 minutes we felt at home, we were among our own kind. Then it was back to the MOSC. We were front row center, I sat next to John Gordon, who secured press packets for us. When the lawyers filed in, Tim, who sat on the other side of Dennis, told us who the players were. Bert Newman opened for the bad guys (no bias in reporting here folks!). His argument hinged on the statement in the Missouri constitution that Article 1 section 23 which stated “but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons” meant that it couldn’t be done. One of the justices pointed out then it would apply to law officers, process servers and the like. Mr. Newman felt this applied only to citizens, not to law enforcement or the like which he said are “the state”. That law officers, process servers and the like have much more extensive training, regulation & requirements. There was a long discussion about rights under the first clause of Article 1 section 23, rights to promote personal security-guaranteed by the first clause, the right to defend their person or property. Mr. Newman feels that our law enforcement officials are promoting personal security by protecting the citizens of the state in a manner that is consistent with the first clause of Article 1 section 23. So as I understand that, Mr. Newman feels that our right to defend ourselves is taken care of by law enforcement officers. While I listen to this, I am remembering the part in Missouri Weapons and Self-Defense Law by K. Jamison, that the police do NOT have a duty to protect the individual, just society as a whole, and am thinking, oh, this isn’t good. Then came one of the most entertaining portions of the show. I believe it was Judge Benton, that ask Mr. Newman, so your definition of the word justify is sanction? What definition do you give us of the word justify? Faster than a speeding bullet, Mr. Newman whipped a pair of black patent tap shoes out of his briefcase and tied them on. He began to dance at a rapid speed. He started with the last phrase means accept, then went into the intent of the founders is so clear, looking back to the mischief to be remedied, spirit of the times, 1875 havoc, civil war…. The Justice re-asked the question of what justify meant, and where did he get the definition. With his feet furiously flying, Mr. Newman launched into another diatribe, included in his points, meaning of “does not justify” is a ban on concealed weapons, means can’t have. In the back of my head I am hearing this raspy voice saying “it depends on what your definition of the word is, is”…Finally after another Justice asked a time or two, Mr. Newman finally stated that the word justify meant “allow”. Mr. Newman then took off his tap shoes and Mr. Miller, the other bad guy (for simplicity in reporting) got up to present the Hancock portion of the argument. Judge Benton pointed out that the Sheriff may charge up to $100, or may not charge anything. That there may be a Sheriff that has said he will do it for free, as part of his running platform. Mr. Miller kept insisting that for judicial economy, that instead of having 114 counties come before the Supreme Court asking for relief from this unfunded mandate, it should just be ruled on now. One Justice pointed out that some counties have said they will not need any additional personnel, they already have the process in place for fingerprints, and basically, it won’t be any big deal. Obviously, this was not the Jackson County Sheriff. Mr. Miller’s point is that although the Sheriffs may charge up to $100, that the way the law is written prohibits the Sheriffs from using the money to pay for cost of processing the applications. Huh, where do these people get this stuff?
Then the mighty Paul Wilson from the Attorney General’s office (One of the good guys) came up to bat. Justice Wolf wanted to know if the money goes to the Sheriff’s fund for training, would the County be compensated for other expenses. Mr. Wilson replied that there was no way to know what other expenses there might be. He said that there is no way the legislature would draft the law, allow the Sheriffs to charge up to $100 and then say they could not use it to pay the expenses. One of the Justices asked “what if we struck the restriction to training and equipment? Then they could use the money as they see fit.” Mr. Wilson replied they could, or they could acknowledge the next section in the law which requires a sheriff to reimburse a local police chief any reasonable expenses meant that these categories were not to be exclusive to other expenses. He stated that the legislature had acted rationally in providing funds. When asked how could he say that in a county like St. Louis that it will not result in increase work load, Mr. Wilson replied they can’t, they have no way of knowing if 1 person, or 100,001 people will apply. He pointed out that the legislature will likely give a law against cross burning this year, and that will result in increased work for detectives. He asked if it was to be suggested that the law would violate the Hancock Amendment. He stated that is work they do, they capture criminals and bring them to the prosecutors. That these duties are part and parcel of what they do. Mr. Wilson stated that if a county doesn’t want to oblige someone who wants a concealed carry license, the county would raise the Hancock issue, they would have to prove, which they have not, that it is an unfunded mandate. That county would then need to come before the MOSC to be excused from complying. BUT if the court did choose to do that, it would not be preventing any other county from complying with the law.
Then it was back to Dancin’ Bert Newman for his final argument which is banning concealed carry promotes personal safety.
Mr. Miller’s final say was if they didn’t decide now on the Hancock issue (before there is any data to base a decision on mind you) that they would have to decide the issue 114 times. Just then a little Red chicken ran across the court room, something about the sky falling….I think. And with that the arguments closed.
What can I say, Mr. Brooks didn’t look too happy. It was the most amazing day, meeting these wonderful men, they truly are Warrior Angels, and to be present when history is being made!
