Trading Guns for Drugs

According to statistics compiled by Mike Adams of the Natural News, you are 62 times more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a violent shooting. Commenting on the 106,000 yearly deaths from nonerror, adverse effects of medications, Adams states, "To reach this number from outbreaks of violent shootings, you'd have to see an Aurora Colorado Batman movie massacre take place every hour of every day, 365 days a year."

These statistics come from combining two meta-analyses, namely: 1) The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Vol 284, No 4, July 26, 2000, and 2) "Deaths: Final Data for 2007". National Vital Statistics Reports (CDC) 58(19): 11, painting a grim picture of the medical industry and a caricature of the Aurora theater shooting. 

Another statistical breakdown by the Benton County News Tribune from November 17th, 1999 shows that while the number of gun owners in the U.S. was 80 million (that year), the number of yearly accidental gun deaths (amongst all age groups) was a mere 1,500. This means that the number of accidental deaths per gun owner per year was 0.0000188. Comparatively, the number of total active physicians, according to the 2001 edition of the Statistical Abstract of the United States, was 720,855. The statistics found 12,000 deaths yearly from unnecessary surgeries; 7,000 deaths yearly from medication errors in hospitals; 20,000 deaths yearly from other errors in hospitals; 80,000 deaths yearly from infections in hospitals; 106,000 deaths yearly from non-error, negative effects of drugs. This comes to a total of 225,000. This comes to 0.354 deaths per physician per year. 

In summary, doctors are 18,800 times more deadly than gun owners.

What does this tell us in light of the fact that the government, per Obamacare, has just mandated health care reform. It is ironic, in the face of these statistics, that bullets flying in excess on the big screen will earn a film a "Restricted" rating, but drug commercials air indiscriminately on prime time television. 

We're trading in our guns for drugs, and the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty will expedite the process.  Slated to be signed by world leaders today, the Treaty will launch an initiative against gun owners everywhere, as international gun control law threatens to trump the U.S. Second Amendment.

I don't mean to belabor this point, but I believe this is the big game changer. 

Trick or Gun Treaty

In case you haven't heard, the tragic Holmes shooting in Aurora occurred just weeks before the UN Gun Treaty is to be signed. 

Earlier this month, Larry Bell of Forbes spelled out the dangers of the ATT, specifically: the globalist treaty will force strict licensing requirements for firearms ownership; create an international gun registry; and mandate that all “unauthorized” firearms (including semi-automatic “assault” rifles) be confiscated and destroyed.

“In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights,” Bell warns.

Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton also warns that the agreement “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.”

A letter sent last month by 130 Republican House members to President Obama argued that the treaty should be rejected because it infringes on the “fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms”. The letter adds that “…the U.N.’s actions to date indicate that the ATT is likely to pose significant threats to our national security, foreign policy, and economic interests as well as our constitutional rights.”

Today, the Dark Knight himself, Christian Bale visited theater shooting victims at the Medical Center of Aurora.... as damn well he should. But as this entire affair progresses the line between fantasy and reality is blurring. Consider the Batman himself is anti-gun. The psychological impact of his parents' murders left him with a hatred of all things banging. He won't shoot one and destroys them regularly in his comic portrayals. So, again, he's the perfect patsy for this little charade to disarm the public. 

However, the situation seems to have backfired, at least temporarily, as background checks for gun purchases rose more than 41% following the early morning massacre. People are beginning to realize that they, not the authorities, are their own best line of defense. This trend is a natural extension of what nutrition enthusiasts have understood for years. You cannot trust your doctor with your health. You cannot trust the police with your safety. You cannot trust the government with... well... much of anything. We are on schedule for a new world order - A natural order some refer to as anarchy. If that word has negative connotations for you, I recommend a personal review of your programming. Civilization needs you to need it, and it is in the best interest of that egregore to make you scared of life without it.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told CNN's Piers Morgan last night that he doesn't "understand why police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike, we’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe."

Earlier this year, The New York Times reprinted a Department of Justice press release and placed this lede on top of it: “As violent crime has decreased across the country, a disturbing trend has emerged: Rising numbers of police officers are being killed.”

This is patent horseshit. 

Bloomberg and The New York Times are both wrong:

*In 2008, ten times more civilians regular people were killed by cops than cops were killed by perps.
*In 2011, 72 cops were shot and killed in the entire U.S.; in L.A. County alone, cops shot and killed 54 suspects the same year–22 percent of those people were unarmed.
*As Scott Reeder reported at Reason this morning, “Farmers, ranchers, commercial fishermen, loggers, garbage collectors, truck drivers, construction workers, pilots, steel workers, roofers, and others are far more likely to face death on the jobs than police or firefighters, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.”
*And as Choire Sicha wrote earlier this year, “2008 was the ten-year low for police officers being killed, and 2012 is, so far, year-to-date, down 49% from last year.”

 
In light of these statistics, I'd say the medicine is poisonous, but what else is new. The bottom line is that everything we're being sold is a lie. The Now we live in requires us to take 100% responsibility for our health, our safety, and our souls. It requires for good or ill that we are accountable for our role in the conditions that surround us, and it requires that we hold others to that same level of accountability. 

Anarchy is not the absence of rule... it is ultimately Self rule. Is there any other way considering the gross mismanagement all around us?

Abuse of Power in Anaheim

A few hours ago Anaheim police shot and killed a man named Manuel Diaz for non-compliance. These things happen. Perhaps they acted rashly. Thereafter, the crowd that gathered to protest chanted, "No justice, no peace!" 


No matter what happened to rouse the crowd, this video footage of police firing bean bag rounds into a crowd containing women and children is inexcusable. Other footage shows police releasing a canine attack dog into the same vulnerable crowd. It does not appear any weapons were drawn against the police officers. 


Check this out: 

From L.A. Now: The Anaheim police "are not judge, jury and executioner," Theresa Smith, whose son was fatally shot by Anaheim police in 2009, told the newspaper before Sunday's protest. "Nobody is given their due process, and it just seems like everything has gotten out of hand."

In revisiting the Second Amendment under fire... The founding fathers did not specify the "right to bear arms" for the occasion of home defense against criminals. They enunciated this right as a part of the dynamic system of checks and balances that makes our system work. "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people" demands an armed populace in the event of tyranny. An armed populace is the biggest failproof against corrupt executive, legislative, and judicial branches. These three balance each other and ultimately an armed populace guards against abuse from any of these three. The founding fathers understood first hand the tendency toward government corruption. They sought to arm the governed offering consent to the government as long as it did not become abusive.


The Anaheim Police are demonstrating executive abuse. Why were there no return shots fired? Why are we tolerating this? Who is going to save us from these abuses? If you think the government, local, state, or federal, plans to regulate itself any time soon... you deserve the abuse you are certain to receive. 

Dark Night and Gun Laws

The shooting in Aurora, Colorado early Thursday morning is disturbing for reasons beyond any sort of fragility or vulnerability attached to shooter or victims. It is disturbing beyond the tendril implications it holds for the rest of us trying to live a peaceful day to day. From what I’ve read the shooter appears to have been groomed and/or connected possibly to government agencies. This seems plausible given his weird surrender and his booby-trapped apartment dwelling. Who shoots that many people and then goes docile enough confess his sins before further bloodshed?

The shooting is disturbing because it immediately presents as a false flag to turn public opinion against small arms ownership.

The New York Times writes: “The authorities said that in the last 60 days, Mr. Holmes had legally purchased four guns at local gun shops — an AR-15 assault rifle, two Glock .40-caliber handguns and a Remington 12-gauge shotgun — and acquired through the Internet more than 6,000 rounds of assorted ammunition.”

Note that word legally. This is a lead in for an associated article with a picture of Columbine memorial crosses: Colorado Gun Laws Remain Lax, Despite Some Changes. They are telling us a story about a crazy kid that used “normal guns” to slaughter a bunch of innocent people. The implication, straw dog that it is, is that if gun laws were tighter, lives would have been saved. The masses moved to mindless sentimental drivel are ready to give up their Second Amendment rights to prevent another one of these horrible incidents.

But the shooting in Aurora isn’t about lax gun laws. It’s about sociopathic behavior, at best, and an orchestrated conspiracy, at worst. If a crazy wants to make a mess, it will do so by any means its psychotic creativity will allow. Destroying our constitutional right to bear arms won’t make crazy stop. Crazy is cultural, social, nutritional, and genetic. Guns don’t make crazy.

On facebook in the PM after the incident, a friend of mine posted about her fear of going to see the movie. I commented that I’m not afraid because I carry. Well… I’m not afraid, and I carry… To which a gaggle of liberal witches spewing New Age bullshit about the Law of Attraction surrounded me and tried to burn me at the stake. Their logic was irrefutable as it was stupid, and so I left it alone.

But really? Now I’ve got both social and spiritual reasons to walk around vulnerable. Or maybe that’s just a vibe I’m putting off that will eventually attract a bullet. Be it karma or chaos that’s coming for me, you better believe I’ve got one in the chamber waiting for it.

So I went to see The Dark Knight Rises today, and I kept my Glock 23 and her lucky 13 babies real close throughout the movie – not out of fear, but on principle. I sat there amongst all those families, with the assured confidence that if some copycat crazy walked in, I could save a few lives.

However, the real assault came off the screen. The Dark Knight Rises is a perfect propaganda piece, and having seen it, I’m really inclined to believe the conspiracy theories emerging around the Aurora shooting. I won’t spoil the plot, but the film associates the Occupy movement with terrorists and paints them as reminiscent of French revolutionaries, replete with a corrupt court system for unjustly trying the rich. Bruce Wayne demonstrates that money trumps the law, and his fortune supported vigilantism frees the cops, stops the terrorists, and restores order to the anarchy that Gotham residents have created left to their own devices. The Batman controls the tap on justice, and the idiot throngs love him for it. They even build an idol for him in honor of his immense sacrifices.

The audience applauded as the end credits rolled, and I walked out of a Saturday matinee into a thunderstorm. As I drove away Stone Temple Pilots played their Interstate Love Song on my radio.
