President Barack Obama took to the stage last week to announce the latest initiative in his crusade to make it more difficult for Americans to purchase firearms. He even shed some tears for American children killed in mass shootings. But there is a blatant hypocrisy in Obama’s position on domestic gun control given that he has bombed more countries during his time in office than any president since World War Two. Where are his tears for the innocent Afghan, Iraqi, Pakistani, Libyan, Syrian, Somalian and Yemeni children who have been killed by his use of drones and other weapons?

The president ordered the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security to undertake new research programs into smart gun technology on Tuesday. He told them to produce a joint report “outlining a research and development strategy designed to expedite the real-world deployment of such technology for use in practice” within the next three months.

The case of John Joe Gray of Texas has resurfaced because of the Oregon standoff. Gray, who lives with his family on a wooded ranch in Trinidad, Texas, was indicted on two counts of felony assault against Yexas Trooper Jim Cleland fifteen years ago. Charges were finally dropped only recently, but during that entire time the local sheriff did not dare attempt to apprehend Gray. Local Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt is on record stating "John Joe Gray is not worth it. Ten of him is not worth going up there and getting one of my young deputies killed." Here is archived news footage from ABC's 20/20 from the year 2000, along with some archived footage from Infowars.com.

1. Archer Is Accused of Firing 13 Bullets From a Stolen Police Gun at Officer Jesse Hartnett
Authorities have not commented on a possible motive for the shooting with the FBI now assisting the investigation. Fox Philadelphia reports that police believe the gun used to attack Hartnett was a stolen police weapon. The gun was taken from the home of an officer in a 2013 robbery, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer.

(*How long is the waiting period and what kind of background check to get a stolen gun?
This is why people are saying enforce the laws we have..punish crap out of guys like this. Uses a stolen gun so you need to investigate me further when I try to buy one?)

G. Edward Griffin, the author of the Creature From Jekyll Island, offers some analysis and criticism of the Oregon standoff, explaining that it is distinctly different from the situation in Nevada with the Bundys a few years ago. Griffin notes that "The protestors (not the Hammonds) were the ones who initiated physical force by breaking into the wildlife facility and occupying the property" and that "This leaves no possible resolution other than a test of military strength. If continued on this course, a bloodbath is assured."

And here I thought the system couldn’t surprise me anymore…

Yes. The establishment felt the need to go there. Watch this:

People keep asking, is it menthol or method acting? Or both?

We’ve already seen more mass shootings in the last six years under this president than at any other time in American history ever. Now, in addition to calling for a false flag like Australia’s to enact gun control the way Australia did, we get crying.

We don’t get crying at the thousands of children this Nobel Peace Prize winning president has bombed in airstrike campaigns in the multitude of countries America is droning overseas. No tears over the fact that we live in a country where at least three people a day every single day are killed by trigger happy police, a much higher rate than other countries that only continues to grow. No sobbing at the realization none of these policies would have stopped even a single mass shooting that has happened, a fact this president’s administration has already openly admitted.

ban divorce, ban welfare, ban war, ban suicide, ban the war on terror, ban the war on drugs. Any of these would do more good than the stupid proposals of the criminal-in-chief

While the Obama administration is busy chipping away at the Second Amendment in a bid to disarm everyone “for their safety,” these people would not have been more safe without their gun and if they waited for the police to protect them in a situation like this, they might be dead.

People inquiring about sending supplies to the Oregon protesters have been told by the local FedEx office that deliveries to the occupiers has been forbidden. "I spoke to the owner of the 'in town' FedEx, and she received word from Corporate to not make any deliveries to the anyone at the refuge," Robert Parker said. As LibertyFight.com reported in 2014, Frederick W. Smith, the CEO of FedEx, is a Yale graduate, friend of Bush and Kerry, and creepy Skull and Bones member, who has called for a fifteen cents per gallon increase on the fuel tax for all Americans. Smith has a VERY SHADY past. On January 31, 1975, Fred Smith was indicted for forgery by a Federal Grand Jury. The same evening of his forgery indictment Smith was involved in a fatal hit and run whereby he killed a 54-year old handyman named George C. Strughill. Smith was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident and driving with an expired license.

snip: Who is more mentally unbalanced, those who are doing the shooting or those who refuse to examine the facts about what kinds of places attract such shooters? Schools and religious institutions are sitting ducks, and the shootings there have gone on until someone else with a gun showed up on the scene.

That is what puts an end to the carnage, not gun control laws.

People who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are not very likely to be stopped by laws against guns. Only law-abiding citizens are likely to be stopped by gun control laws, and to become sitting ducks.

US president Barack Obama has taken unilateral action on gun control introducing new restrictions on gun sales – without seeking approval from Congress.

Oh wait, Barry didn't see fit to mention this one!

President Barack Obama has formally announced plans to expand background checks for those buying guns and impose other restrictions on firearms through executive action. The order bypasses Congress, further feeding sentiments about the administration’s overreach.

infringing on all our human rights by making the exercise of our rights more onerous

With tensions running high at the Malheur Wildlife Reserve, the Oath Keepers organization is reporting that they have been informed by sources within the U.S. special forces community that special operations assets have been moved into the area.

It was reported on Tuesday that federal authorities are planning to cut the power to the commandeered facility, with hopes that the sub-zero Oregon winter would drive them out without incident, but the potential exists that cutting the power is a simple precursor to laying siege to the building...

If internationalists were to get their way fully with the world and future historians write their analysis from a globalist perspective of the defunct American nation, they will probably say simply that our collapse was brought about by our own incompetence – that we were our own worst enemy. Yes, they would treat America as a cliché. They will of course leave out the destructive influences and engineered disasters of elitists, that would just complicate the narrative.

My hope is that we do not prove these future historians correct, and that they won’t have an opportunity to exist...

Foreign arms sales by the United States jumped by almost $10 billion in 2014, about 35 percent, even as the global weapons market remained flat and competition among suppliers increased, a new congressional study has found. American weapons receipts rose to $36.2 billion in 2014 from $26.7 billion the year before, bolstered by multibillion-dollar agreements with Qatar, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. Those deals and others ensured that the United States remained the single largest provider of arms around the world last year, controlling just over 50 percent of the market.

In his anti-gun speech yesterday, in between fits of weeping and introducing Sandy Hoax parents, Obama announced his promotion of RFID tracking technology and fingerprint scanners to keep America safe from guns. "America has done this in many other areas - from making cars safer to improving the tablets and phones we use every day," Obama said. He then "Issued a Presidential Memorandum directing the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and Department of Homeland Security to take two important steps to promote smart gun technology."

Here you can read the full text that the White House released yesterday, of Obama's "executive actions" on "gun safety." Barry also announced the hiring of 200 new ATF agents, an additional $500 million dollars allotted for mental health issues, and an astounding 50 per cent increase in FBI background check NICS employees (National Instant Criminal Background Check System.) He added a regrettable caveat though, that the pesky Congress must be involved: "Congress should support the President's request for resources for 200 new ATF agents and investigators to help enforce our gun laws, as well as a new $500 million investment to address mental health issues," he said.

In sharp contrast to his role as Attorney General, Eric Holder, as a young black radical at Columbia, was one of those who were engaged in an “armed standoff” with authorities over a “territorial dispute.”

On Tuesday, President Obama announced that he’ll bypass Congress, by executive action, in an effort force more gun sellers to get licensed federally and to increase the amount of buyers required to undergo background checks. While the federal government attempts to limit Americans’ access to guns, the American arms industry has had no such impediments placed in its way as it sells deadly arms to tyrannical regimes and terrorist groups across the globe.

Barack Obama was introduced today by "Sandy hook Parent Mark Barden," whose 7-year-old son Daniel was reportedly killed at Sandy Hook. The C-SPAN Transcript begins with Barden's emotional remarks, and Barry actually cried during his speech.

The White House released a fact-sheet Jan. 4 which previews the executive gun control Obama will unveil Tuesday and one aspect of the new controls is the inclusion of “information from the Social Security Administration in the background check system about beneficiaries who are prohibited from possessing a firearm.” On July 18 Breitbart News reported on Obama’s push to ban gun-possession for Social Security beneficiaries who are believed incapable of handling their own finances.

The armed protest and occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon calls to mind a very interesting historical event which occurred on Alcatraz Island in 1969. It seems few people are aware of this very fascinating history. On November 20, 1969, a group of native American Indians commandeered Alcatraz Island off San Francisco to protest the U.S. Government's numerous and egregious violations of treaties with Native American tribes. At one point there were over 100 Indians living on the island. The National Park Service notes that "it would become the longest prolonged occupation of a federal facility by Indian people to this very day."
Supporters would bring out food and supplies by boat to the island. The FBI and military took a "hands off" approach and the standoff didn't end until to June 11, 1971.

Can you believe 2016 just started, and already people are calling for a bigger police state where the government can kill citizens without due process, charge or trial?

Twitter users across the globe have been calling for the use of lethal force to end the Oregon standoff... this is gruesome stuff.

Next week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is scheduled to hold an “auction” for 721 million tons of taxpayer-owned coal in the Powder River Basin.

This is for the North Porcupine tract, and like the South Porcupine tract that BLM leased to Peabody last month — even though this coal is owned by you and me — the lease was drawn up by Peabody itself for its own profit. This is what’s known as a “lease by application,” and under BLM’s corrupt coal leasing program, Peabody will almost certainly be the only bidder and pay next to nothing.

The Bureau of Land Management (‘BLM’) is just one example of an autocratic government agency that seems to operate as if it answers to no one and regularly wastes money and resources as it seems to concurrently violate U.S. laws and the rights of American taxpayers (talk about biting the hand that feeds). And as a result of this pervasive attitude combined with the growing number of government agencies that act as if they were fiefdoms, America is languishing under a wave of epic waste of resources and taxpayer dollars. Let’s look at just a couple glaring examples.

Even as critics in Congress are blasting Obama’s upcoming new gun control executive orders as “dangerous overreach” targeting the 2nd Amendment, Obama has defended them, claiming his plans are “well within my legal authority”.

The new gun control measures are likely to be announced sometime this week. Wonder if another perfectly timed mass shooting will accompany them.

Ammon Bundy Speaks From Occupied Oregon Refuge: It's Important That 'People Know That We're Serious'

abc: Ammon Bundy, one of the armed militia members occupying a building on federal land at an Oregon national wildlife refuge, told ABC News this morning that, while their protest is peaceful, the group is armed "because we understand that in order to truly express our 1st Amendment rights, we have to have our 2nd Amendment rights."

"It's important that we stand and people know that we're serious," Bundy, 40, said on “Good Morning America.”

One of three home invasion suspect was shot and killed during the incident, and has been identified by the Montgomery County Coroner's Office as Azikiwe Presley, 29, of Dayton. Police tell FOX 45 three masked men armed with firearms forcibly entered and attempted to rob the homeowner. "I got my gun and I started shooting and they ran," the female caller told dispatchers. "They all three had guns, I'm confused ... they must not have had bullets because after I pulled the trigger they just took off, instead of firing back. I don't know if I hit one or not, I don't see blood anywhere."

Leading US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has vowed to veto President Barack Obama's executive actions on guns if winning the White House.

"The Second Amendment, it's so great to me," Trump told supporters at a campaign rally in Biloxi, Mississippi on Saturday. "We're not changing the Second Amendment."

Trump accused Obama of planning an "assault" on the Second Amendment. "I will veto that. I will unsign that so fast.”
