So What Would YOU Do For A Million And A Half?

2 Comments

You know, censorship and persecution of people with unacceptable speech, and even thoughts is all the rage since the Biden junta seized power and is trying their best to turn us into a Banana RepublicTM

It is of course coming out, that the FIB as they were attacking parents at school board meetings also found time to continue to cover up for crackhead Hunter Biden and his laptop. The couple that found Ashley Biden’s diary have been accused of “stealing” it. Bidens seem to do that, leave interesting things laying around, laptops, diaries, and the like. With Joe it probably depends.

And with the discovery of the latest corrupt action of the corrupt FIB there are some agreeing it probably did have an impact on the election, in terms of the Biden laptop. I mean seriously, if people had known they were electing someone who gets paid more from China than U.S. would they still have voted for him? Well, yeah, the people on their 6th non-mandated vaxx would have, but other than them? The FIB’s corruption is so well known and so diverse, that it got more than two joke in the Bee.

Sharpie Scores Huge Endorsement Deal With FBI

“We couldn’t do our job protecting America without the incredible permanent markers made by Sharpie,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “From helping us black out coverage of Hunter’s laptop, to hiding how we acted as a tool for Democrats to investigate fabricated ‘Russian collusion’ charges – Sharpie has been there every step of the way.”

And the second one leads to the point of this column.

FBI Instructs Facebook To Censor Posts About The FBI Instructing Facebook To Censor Posts About Hunter’s Laptop

“We cannot have news about us censoring people get out there uncensored,” said FBI director Christopher Wray. “The solution to people being upset about us squashing a damaging story in order to tilt an election is quite simple: we squash that story as well, which will hopefully then tilt the next election. And if people then discover we censored the stories about censorship, we’ll censor that too. This job is actually pretty easy.”

That satirical column was in response to this actual interview by Joe Rogan of Mark Zuckerbucks.

FBI put the Hunter Biden story right in Facebook’s lap

Biden ‘would not be president’ if the FBI didn’t allegedly cover up Hunter Biden laptop scandal: Sen. Johnson

But hey, a scapegoat was found.

Top FBI agent resigns amid claims he shielded Hunter Biden from probe: report

Yes that agency known for it’s corruption is being found out. Hopefully actual conservatives will take control of the house this fall by sweeping elections and dismantle the FIB and keep the 14 whistleblowers that have come forward, sack everyone else as they aren’t honest, and start from the ground up.

But what else has been in the news a lot lately involving free speech, and the lack thereof? The Alex Jones case. And that’s what got me started thinking about this. I listened to a podcast today and the Alex Jones case came up as it related to this particular podcast. But here’s a bit about the persecution of Alex Jones. Like him or hate him, it’s the principle involved.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Speaks Out Against ‘Political Persecution’ of Alex Jones

Jones is on the hook for tens of millions of dollars for sharing conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting. He was trotted out before a show trial where the leftist operative judge declared his guilt to the jury. Greene believes this is wrong and sets a bad precedent for free speech.

“You wanna know something? Somebody like Alex Jones – who did say some things…” Greene said during a panel at CPAC Texas.

“But yet he is being politically persecuted right now and being forced to pay out millions and millions of dollars.. And no one agrees with what he said, but what we’re tired of is the political persecution,” she continued.

The Persecution of Alex Jones Is a War Against Us All

Amidst all of the fanfare and controversy, it is easy to overlook just how weak the defamation case against Jones really was.

The Sandy Hook parents mentioned above based their defamation claim on a 2017 NBC interview where Heslin said he held his son’s body after he was murdered. In a contemporaneous Infowars segment, reporter Owen Shroyer said that, “according to a timeline of events and a coroner’s testimony, that is not possible,” and Jones responded by calling Heslin to “clarify” his statements.

Otherwise, all of Jones’s “defamatory” behavior is premised on him making wild but vague allegations of a Sandy Hook false flag by unknown forces. Virtually all of the damages, meanwhile, are based on blaming Jones for the actions of people he doesn’t even know.

So I have a question for you, what if Alex wasn’t wrong? And that was the point of the podcast. I like data, I like information, don’t you? I think without good information people can’t make intelligent choices, or have informed opinions. So I’m going to give you one little refresher video clip of Eric Holder, who defied a congressional subpoena with absolutely no consequences, telling a bunch of Demoncrats that people need to be brainwashed about gun control.

That clip will be referred to in the podcast. Jeremy Nell is a cartoonist and podcaster from South Africa. Thus the name Jerm Warfare for his podcast, the warfare part refers to the information war. The war on information, as it is. He’s kind of like Joe Rogan in that he has interesting conversations with interesting people. His guest for this episode is James Fetzer. There are some points of this episode I vehemently disagree with. I’m sure you’ll figure out what, but before you dismiss the topic, Sandy Hook, I listened to the podcast, but this is the video version so all the evidence he presents, the photos and the like you can see for yourself. It’s about an hour and a half. There is some pretty compelling stuff. Either the school was open or it wasn’t. That’s covered.

But what if Alex was right? Obama signed something like 23? 27? New gun control laws right after Sandy Hook.

But what would you and your family do for a million and a half dollars? Yeah, that’s covered as well.

I’m not telling anyone what to think, I’m presenting you with a podcast with information and a question, what if Alex was right? Either way persecution for free speech is not ok and is having disastrous effects on this country. Grab a cup of coffee.

gun control, Law

Marketing Failure?

While sorting through the news Tuesday morning, two seemingly unrelated stories ended up in adjacent tabs.

First…

Sandy Hook lawsuit against AR-15 maker could actually reach the Supreme Court
But the state supreme court ruled plaintiffs’ suit can proceed under Connecticut’s unfair trade practices law. Plaintiffs’ lawyers argued that Bushmaster’s advertising essentially encouraged customers and others to use their XM15 rifles — the type used by Lanza — for criminal purposes.

Leaving aside how Bushmaster is responsible for the use of a firearm it sold to a dealer who sold it to a woman who had it taken by someone else after she was murdered…

Alleged: Advertising the rifle as suitable for mass murder.

Which brings me to the second article…

Study: ‘Assault Weapons’ and Magazine Bans Do Not Lower Homicide Rates
[Lead study author Michael Spiegel] observed, “Laws regulating the sale of assault weapons are unlikely to have a large impact on homicide rates, because these weapons are used in only a very small proportion of homicides. The vast majority of firearm homicides in the United States are committed with handguns.”

Hardly news. The government discovered the same thing after the federal “Assault Weapon Ban” of ’94. And that very thing had been predicted by numerous people when the bill was being debated.

But the juxtaposition of the stories struck me.

Pantytwisters: Eek! Bushmaster is advertising mass murder tactical death machines and encouraging us to go out and kill everything!

Everyone else: Didn’t work.

gun control, So Much Stupid!

When liars figure

Possibly you’ve seen reports about the new study that showed a sharp increase in firearms-related deaths after the Sandy Hook shooting, attributed to the sharp spike in gun sales. If not, here’s a fine example:

Gun sales spiked after Sandy Hook. So did people being shot and killed.
Gun sales in the United States spiked dramatically after a shooter walked into Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012 and killed 26 people, 20 of whom were children. Now researchers say that as a result of that rush in gun purchases, 60 additional Americans — 20 of whom were children — were killed by accidental gunshots in the five months following the tragedy.

That’s… interesting, if really kinda vague. So off to the study itself. You can read it, or I’ll give you the TL;DR.

They used Google Trends to define the period of gun sales that they attribute to post-SH panic buying (you’ll giggle at their search terms), which they determined to be 5 months. They looked at firearms-related accidental deaths — concentrating on children 0-14yo –for that period and compared them to a 2008-2013 period and magically came up with this:

That’s… even more interesting. I happen to recall another gun buying spree in 2008 and 2009. If these folks really found a sales/accidental deaths correlation, I’d expect a bigger spike in those years.

Well, charts are misleading. What’s graphed there isn’t the number of children dead, but the anomaly in deaths; that is, they essentially figured the statistical average for a five month period for the years 2008-2013, and decide the period in question had 20 more than average.

Not having access to their undisclosed “restricted” data, I decided to use the CDC WISQARS online tool, which only breaks data down by year. For the researchers’ 2008-2013 time frame, I got this:

Right off, you — not being a grant-funded academic — probably notice, despite the apparent increasing trend in deaths, that 2013 wasn’t much of a spike. In fact, it’s five deaths lower than the 2011 “spike.” And the average annual deaths for the 2008-2013 time frame is 62.17. So the annual total for 2013 is only 7 higher than average.* Where did they find 20, 13 more in just a five month period? And haven’t we heard that accidental firearms deaths are decreasing?

That’s an oddly limited time frame, given that more data is readily available. WISQARS currently has data for 1999-2015.

And the rate per 100,000 for that age group:

The entire year of 2013 is only the sixth highest, both in numbers and per capita. And again –not being a grant-funded academic –you may have seen the trend: constantly down.

The researchers’ “spike” in their study appears to be largely imaginary, and what there was is more easily attributed to random variance. The lack of sales/deaths correlations with other known periods of increased buying (2008-2009, 2012) invalidates their Sandy Hook-related claim. The overall consistent decrease in child accidental deaths tells me that, rather than untrained newbies going out and slaughtering kids, more people are getting trained and demonstrating safety awareness. Remember: the number of guns are cumulative; if more guns really correlated with accidents then there be a constantly increasing number of accidents instead of the real decrease.

Researchers Levine and McKnight say, “No external funding was used to support this research.” It might be interesting to see what monetary resources are consider internal.

And just for info regarding that additional people of all ages killed?

In 2012, there were 548 people of all ages killed in accidental firearms-related incidents.

In 2013, it dropped to 505.

* The 17 year average for 1999-2015 is 64, meaning 2013 was only 5 higher than average.

Sandy Hook: My Failure?

4 Comments

I don’t think so.

When will it end?
The killings on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School will be forever remembered as a monumental failure of otherwise law-abiding gun owners to take responsibility for their freedoms.

I don’t know when it will end. But it seems highly unlikely that it will completely end until overly-emotive nonthinkers like Mr. Nehring base their victim disarmament decisions on reality rather than fantasy.

Let’s talk about the “failures” of law-abiding gun owner Mrs. Lanza.

  • Her son had mental problems. She spent years trying to address them.
  • She bought firearms through licensed dealers, going through background checks.
  • She reportedly kept most of her firearms locked up, some reports indicating specifically to keep them out of her son’s hands.

So what was her failure; what allowed her deranged son to get those guns and murder those people?

She fell asleep.

Yes, for those with no long-term memory, like Nehring, Mrs. Lanza’s son murdered her in her sleep so that he could steal the guns he would take to the school.

Many vocal gun owners refuse to acknowledge that with their freedoms come responsibility. Instead they try to sweep this tragic result under the rug.

I suppose in Nehring’s deranged world, he has a point. The right to sleep without being murdered is not specifically enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

Ban sleep and high capacity king-sized beds.
