In the wake of three mass shootings over the course of a few days recently, all the political and anti-gun media class began their predictable calls for more gun laws and equally predictable blame-ascribing tactics.
As usual, 2020 Democrat p**********l hopefuls called for the passage of more laws like universal background checks, a ban on so-called assault weapons (a meaningless and amorphous code word term), so-called red f**g laws and outright confiscation. Even Republican politicians advocated for more gun laws, as did President Donald Trump — who while campaigning in 2016 called himself the biggest friend to gun owners in history; a hollow promise, at best.

Never mind that none of the laws proposed — save outright confiscation — would have had any influence wh**ever on the most recent shootings. The shooters all obtained their legal weapons legally from licensed gun dealers after undergoing the standard background check.

Besides, if gun grabbers were really interested in stopping murder or saving lives they’d go after handguns, which are used in the overwhelming majority of shootings and mass murders.

The 2020 E******n: A National Nightmare With a Shocking Twist

For the first time in American history, a divided populace could put a socialist President in the White House. If you do nothing to prepare for the 2020 e******n... you may fall victim to this socialist agenda in ways you couldn't ever imagine.

To get your hands on the documentary that outlines the upcoming 2020 e******n, click here.
But even restricting the sale of handguns would be ineffective. According to a study by Department of Justice released in January, a survey of 283,000 prison inmates found that 90 percent of the guns used in crimes did not come from a retail source. And less than 1 percent were purchased at a gun show; which reveals that the so-called “gun show loophole” as just another gun-grabber lie.

This is prima facie evidence that gun control is not about the guns or about saving lives. It’s about control.

All national states have one thing in common. They want all uncontrolled arms of the people confiscated.

Why do all governments want to confiscate arms of their people? It is quite simple. The government political system fears an armed citizenry. Organized crime, no matter how legitimate it may appear, wants no risk of being o*******wn and no personal risk of the politicians and bureaucrats. It wants no threat to the state that it cannot calculate and control.

New York Democrat Representative Jerrold Nadler stated the aim of all politicians when he said in a 2012 interview:

One of the definitions of a nation state is that the state has a monopoly on legitimate violence. And the state ought to have a monopoly on legitimate violence.

If the premise of your question is that people are going to resist a tyrannical government by shooting machine guns at American troops, that’s insane.

The state is therefore the enemy of the people. Otherwise it would not fear the people and want to disarm them. We can clearly understand disarmament because we recognize that the state and its bureaucrats and politicians are on one side and the people are on the other.

The frivolous debate of public safety against crime and criminals is laughable except media hype actually persuades more and more people of this pacifist nonsense.

The bold and insane issue of gun control is that the cause of gun violence is guns. Meanwhile, the U.S. government is creating violence with weapons of death all over the world.

The strategy of public persuasion with propaganda is far less risky to the state than physical force. Although, keep in mind that propaganda is force and leads as certain to conclusions in favor of the government.

Disarmament propaganda has been going on in the U.S. for a number of years along with stepped-up requirements of gun registration and piecemeal and continuous legislation.

Let’s look at some history and get the correct order of things. The German people had nothing to fear from the SS until the propaganda of the Third Reich prepared their minds for so-called National Socialism. When they “bought” National Socialism, they also accepted the SS and suppression of human liberty. In other words, psychological warfare conquered the Germans before the N**i SS and their eventual military defeat. This is the order of events to keep in mind.

Authoritarianism or criminal government can never feel secure from fear as long as millions of people own guns. Likewise, when the people have no arms, they have no security and no hope of security.

Disarmament first comes by words and psychological warfare. The wide use of the word democracy is proof that people don’t know freedom from a house cat. The word democracy neutralizes and disarms the mind to the reality of authoritarianism and the danger to personal freedom. Hitler called his N**i Germany “a great democracy,” and he disarmed the German citizens.

As long as the word democracy means freedom in the minds of the people, the long attrition of personal liberty will continue with or without gun ownership. The word democracy by and of itself has disarmed us. Yet, I hear people express great fear of loss of their firearms and at the same time use the word democracy like it was cotton candy.

Disarmament comes via democracy. As long as we defend democracy, we are for gun control whether we are conscious of it or not.

What, pray-tell, caused the great loss of freedom of the American people? Democracy, of course. Democracy is the American version of National Socialism.

Passive words like democracy disarm the mind, and then it is only a matter of time before you volunteer to hand over your guns. “To keep and bear arms” is the opposite of democracy.

The word democracy is an agenda quite different from its innocent sound. It is a euphemism for despotic government. Democracy is a term that conceals a system of manipulating people by manipulating their thought processes. The word democracy is the most politically correct word in America and in the entire world. Every politician uses the word democracy repeatedly to numb the people and disguise authoritarianism.

Democracy means disarmament of the mass mind into a state of apathy, resembling deep sleep. Change agents cleverly t***sferred the word republic into democracy for the purpose of the numbing of the senses. The word democracy and all that it implies destroys in our minds the relationship of cause and effect so that our own thoughts betray us. It has made us a pablum society wherein we unknowingly love evil and h**e good.

To attempt to defend democracy and gun ownership at the same time is a masterpiece of cynicism and an illusion of the possible. It can’t be done. We have to love one and h**e the other. But we must first know the difference. God help us!

Yours for the t***h,

So an embargo helps the situation? If Venezuela weren't setting on massive oil reserves there would be no concern for the hapless situation the Venezuelan people find themselves in.

Still, the only reason this government initially had reason to caused friction with Castro was that Castro threw out the Mayer Lansky crime organization when he took control.

All governments are criminal enterprises, hiding under the cover of legitimacy. This government is no exception.

These embargos qualify as crimes against humanity. The US may be able to argue Iran's nuclear program is a problem, however, what problem does Venezuela present other than having oil resources they would like to utilize for their own benefit?

I don't expect we'll ever know the t***h. I suspect the guards where voluntarily distracted long enough for the deed to be done. In fact, the t***h will come out. However, the deliberate disinformation associated with the t***h will be so thick no one will be able to cut to the t***h. Everything will be termed speculation.

Ebstein, like Whitey Bulger, knew too much. If you recall, Whitey was deliberately placed in an unsafe, vulnerable, situation. Those who put him there knew he wouldn't last long. I suspect he was set up by the FBI to keep him from ever telling what he really knew about the agency.

One could turn this around to also mean never being loved. Some of us never truly love anyone, however, recognize the value of being loved.

I wonder how he managed suicide while on suicide watch? Perhaps, someone conveniently wasn't watching while helpers assisted him. If I were the women who assisted Ebstein in procuring the girls, (don't recall her name) is it Maxell? Anyway, if I were her, I'd be exceptionally nervous.

Ebstein had a penchant for young women, he was aware that most older men had the same weakness and that weakness could be exploited. There's speculation that Ebstein was an agent of Mossad, the Israeli equivalent to the CIA.

Using young attractive women to extract information or compromise people in high places is nothing new. The question that has to be asked: wouldn't one's caution f**g begin to wave when rumors of Ebstein's activities were being circulated.

Of course, considering that your basic politician has no scruples, inticing 'em into compromising positions probably wouldn't be too difficult. It would be interesting to know how many secrets or other forms of compromise have been extorted through the use of feminine persuasion.

However, I may be a bit too harsh on our politicians, for most older males have a weakness for the young and beautiful. And, Yours Truly is no exception. Still, being highly cognizant of the male-female dynamics, I would not be so inclined to be caught in an Ebstein trap.

However, I should qualify, at this point, I wouldn't be caught in a honeypot trap. Still, there's no fool like an old fool, and with further aging, who knows what could take place. At this point though, I remind myself that to the degree I would find the young and beautiful desirable, to the same degree, they would find me reprehensible.

The best that we old fools can hope for, is to be barely tolerated.

By these examples, I no doubt qualify. This s**t is above and beyond! Unfortunately, we, in the land of the free, realize that technology, and our use of it, is a double-edged sword that on the positive side enhances our existence, while the negative side has eliminated much of our privacy and susceptible to being observed (spied on) by just about anyone.

Bob Livingston's perspective on the coming

This past week's events have sent the economic world into a tailspin. Mainstream analysts were so sure of themselves heading into the July Federal Reserve meeting. The Fed was going to cut rates by respectable margin, or they were going to cut incrementally and promise the markets through thinly veiled language that QE4 was well on the way. They did not get what they were hoping for, but I don't think many people understand why the Fed did what they did.

I have long held that the Fed has no intention of kicking the can on the economic crash that is currently underway, and that the Fed's tightening cycle was a way to restrict liquidity into economic weakness in order to trigger the collapse of the "Everything Bubble." I predicted over the past two years that the Fed would keep liquidity conditions tight until right before or right after an accelerated crash in fundamentals and markets. The crash in fundamentals has already begun in 2018 and 2019. A return to crash conditions in stock markets has also now likely started. We will have to wait and see how the next few months play out.

While I believed the central bank would hold rates steady in July, Jerome Powell's public statements after the Fed announcement of a minor .25 bps rate cut were even worse for market investors to hear and only support my original position. Powell's assertion that the cut was merely a midyear "adjustment" and not the beginning of an easing cycle horrified the investment world. Powell was telling markets quite bluntly that the punch bowl was not coming back anytime soon.

The consensus seems to be that the Fed has offered "too little too late," and I would say that this is a completely deliberate action. Frankly, there was nothing holding the Fed back from a cut of .50 bps and lavishing the financial media with images of QE heaven. Trump says he wants it, the day trading world is begging for it, and central bankers rarely shy away from more money printing. Unless, of course, the banking elites want a crash to happen in the near term, that is.

The Fed has basically admitted to America that yes, we are entering recession territory and that the recovery they have been promoting for the past several years is a fraud. At the same time, they told investors that they aren't going to do jack about it.

The Fed followed its rate adjustment "disappointment" with a large dump of assets from its balance sheet — around $36 billion total in July. With no certainty of new stimulus in the near term, and no certainty of further rate cuts this year, stocks have been pummeled, and this is a trend that is probably going to continue for many months. Of course, the banking elites have a plan, and they intend populists to help them, wittingly or unwittingly.

Que Donald Trump; like clockwork the Trump administration jumped in to distract the media and everyone else away from the Fed's actions by initiating even more surprise tariffs on China. China has now responded with a complete freeze on imports of U.S. agricultural products. Suddenly, the blame for the stock plunge is being attributed to Trump rather than the Fed. How convenient for the central bankers...

Four thoughts on the latest developments:

Trump bringing down stocks on purpose to beat the Fed into submission? This is crazytown talk...
First, I have noticed a narrative going around that Trump has expanded the trade war in a game of chicken with the Fed. His intention? To drive stock markets down in order to force the Fed to cut rates and launch new QE measures. I'm sorry, but this theory makes little sense.

Everyone used to say that Trump was putting pressure on the Chinese in order to reduce the trade deficit and create more fair conditions for U.S. goods overseas, as well as to stop technology theft. Now they are saying that Trump is only using the trade war as leverage against the Fed? Well, which one is it?

Trump has fused the success of his administration to the success of the stock market. He has been so insistent on taking credit for every stock market rally that now there is no separating the two. I have been warning about this for well over a year; Trump has made himself the perfect scapegoat for a collapse of the Everything Bubble should the g*******ts and their international banking partners decide to start one.

If the battle between Trump and the Fed was actually legitimate rather than staged, then why would Trump want a crash in stock markets? Going into an e******n year, a crash in stocks would hurt him far more than it would hurt the central bank. The Fed would only need to wait a year for Trump to be buried in the 2020 e******n after the economic calamity is wrapped around his neck. The same goes for the Chinese. They would only have to wait a year as well for Trump to be unseated. The only incentive for Trump to cause a market panic is if he is intentionally creating a diversion for the central bankers.

Yet, some people are desperately trying to conjure some kind of logical rational for Trump's actions as well as the Fed's actions. They won't find anything logical until they recognize that the Fed is deliberately triggering a crash and that Trump and conservatives (or populists) are meant to take the fall.

The Fed and the elites are against the trade war?
Second, Jerome Powell made it clear in his recent statements that the only reason the Fed was considering a .25 bps cut was because of Trump's trade war and the instability it might cause. Here we see the g*******t narrative of the "evil populists" being built into the minds of the public. The assertion? That the crash in fundamentals (and now likely in stocks) is due to the trade war and the trade war alone. And the trade war is a product of nationalism and populism, thus, all populists are culpable for the crash. The central banks that created the massive financial bubble? They get a pass...

Beyond this, there are also some rather ridiculous mainstream reports of members of Trump's cabinet, including Mnuchin and Ross, advising him against the latest tariffs on China. Really? The same banking elites and CFR members that were all for the trade war six months ago are now against it? Again, this only makes sense if you look at it from the perspective that Trump and conservatives are supposed to take the blame for the crash while the bankers escape any scrutiny. They "tried" to warn Trump after all, but he wouldn't listen. He "went rogue." This is absurd theater designed for gullible people.

Trump doesn't do anything without the approval of the elites in his cabinet. There is no internal battle. Everything Trump does is for the benefit of the role he is playing within the g*******t script.

Trump is secretly trying to bring down the U.S. economy to defeat the g*******ts in a game of 74D chess?
This theory stems from a subset of people within the liberty movement that would give anything to believe that a hero on a white horse is coming to fight their battles against the g*******ts for them; but it's simply not reality. Also, again, it makes no sense.

If Trump had detached his administration completely from the economic bubble and said "Hey, I don't take credit for the stock market boom because it's a fraud created by the Fed," only then would the above theory have any potential. If Trump said to the Fed and to the American people, "I will try to MAGA whether the Fed raises rates or cuts rates, and when the economy inevitably crashes the American people should blame the central bank," then perhaps we might consider him a heroic statesman. This is not the case.

Also, only people who do not understand how the g*******t cabal functions believe that the Fed and other U.S. based structures are at the top of the pyramid of control. The g*******ts are global, the Fed is nothing more than a franchise and the dollar nothing more than a sacrificial mechanism that can be replaced. They have done it once in the past century and they can do it again. In fact, that is a plan they openly admit to.

As it stands, there will be unimaginable consequences for a crash within the U.S. financial system, and many people will aim their hatred at Trump and conservatives for these developments. But by that time, I expect that Trump will be long gone. Far from being a moment of triumph, it will be a moment that the global elites hope will bury sovereignty ideals for generations.

Bringing down the U.S. economy will do nothing to stop the g*******t plan for "new world order" centralization and a single cashless global currency system. The t***h is, the collapse of the U.S. economy is a necessary part of the economic reset that the g*******ts desire.

It's not over yet — the next stage is a no deal Brexit
As I predicted in March of this year, a No Deal Brexit event is the most likely outcome as it most serves the interests of g*******ts in pinning a crash in the U.S. and parts of Europe on populists and sovereignty activists. With the exit of Theresa May and the rise of Boris Johnson, a 'no deal' event is all but assured. The EU banking system is on the verge of a Lehman moment. Deutsche Bank is in shambles. Italy's banks are ticking time bombs. Many EU nations have national debts well above their annual GDP. It is only a matter of time before a crisis in the European Union occurs. Any person that is educated on the weaknesses of economic interdependency would tell you that this crash is the fault of no-borders g*******ts. But, with populists rising to a moderate extent in the U.K., Germany, France, etc., the g*******ts don't have to take the blame for the failure of their supranational experiment.

Actually, they can use the crash to blame nationalism and then use it as a springboard to launch a global supranational union, first economically, and then in the form of a single world government. Why else would the ECB be taking on Christine Lagarde, the most vocal proponent of the global economic reset, as chairman at this time? This is about engineered chaos. This is about a Hegelian problem, reaction, solution dynamic.

As already mentioned, the Fed has just admitted in an indirect way that there is no economic recovery, and that there will be no QE until it is too late to even stall a crisis for a short amount of time. Trump has just admitted that the trade war is not going to end in his first term as president and that it will only get much worse from here on. All that is left is for a No-Deal Brexit to send shockwaves through Europe, and maybe another shooting war (blockade of Venezuela, or Strait of Hormuz?).

Understanding the deeper objectives of the g*******ts can help us to prevent them from succeeding. At the very least, it helps us to avoid being duped into helping them. At any rate, the rest of this year is surely going to lead to what they call "interesting times."

To t***h and knowledge,
crash.

The Fed is only one leg, you've got the IMF, the World Bank, the Bank of International Settlements, or wh**ever it's called, and of course the Fed. Plus, I'm guessing that a few countries have a similar monetary policy the US uses. (Federal Reserve System) I'm thinkin', whoever holds sway over these entities could choke off the supply of some world currencies putting a real squeeze on things.

However, regarding Trumpy: I think he's being cleverly lead, albeit unwittingly, in the direction desired. If he's re-elected, and there's a good chance he will be, the s**t will hit the fan at some point during his second term.

There is something odd about the constant harping about w****s being behind every despicable act that comes along while ignoring everything else that doesn't fit the message being proffered. There is a motive, and Brother Nathanael knows what that motive is better than most.

Ya, see, as Brother indicates, its w****s who have to be vilified and disarmed, for it will be armed w****s who have the capacity to foil the plans of those attempting to ens***e the world.

Ole rummy, is obviously an anti-gunner. The fact pointed out about cell phones has no bearing for him. What it's about, is him being one of those hypocrites who would deprive folks of their First Amendment Rights, as he merrily drives down the road while texting.

Today we heard Larry Cudlow exclaiming that the American economy is goin' great. He also indicated that the rest of the world ain't doin' so hot. China has announced they will not be purchasing any agriculture products from the US.

So the question is: how long will the US economy stay vibrant when the rest of the world is in the doldrums? Taking China out of the equation will, of course, affect our farmers, however, subsides can carry them through if the economy stays strong. And with the rest of the world having economic difficulties, keeping the US economy chuggin' along could be a problem.

Thinkin' Trumpy will come out a winner against the Fed is whistling in the dark. It will take an act of Congress to nutter the Fed and Congress, being the feckless bunch they are, could easily be bought off if such an event were to be undertaken.

Thanks for posting this, Emily.

Often while sitting in front of the computer, I'll also be half watching and listening to the TV. While I don't have a schedule for when these shows air, occasionally, however, I get lucky and happen to have the TV on when the train shows are aired on the RFD channel.

Today's episode featured four trains, powered by Steam Locomotives, from different areas converging on St Louis. Unfortunately, I don't recall what the occasion was. An hour of watching the locomotives in action is a nostalgic trip back in time.

Recently, a train, pulled by the BIG BOY #4014 steam locomotive, passed through our area celebrating the completion of the T***scontinental Rail System 150 years ago. A limited number of the Bigboy locomotives were built; the one passing through recently is the only one in running operation.

Seeing these behemoths in action reminds me of a time, unfortunately, long passed, when life in small-town USA, when steam locomotives regularly ran through the small town where I resided, resembled the life of Huck Finn and friends.
