With another recent mass shooting having taken place last week in Charleston, South Carolina - such a crisis is the perfect opportunity for the President to yet again stop just short of using the "C-word" - confiscation. Or "C" for the gun Control he promoted.

Before any victims were even in the ground, he exploited the tragedy for politicized gun control agendas.

Obama is tired of making speeches about mass killings. He's tired of them. He doesn't want killings to be the "new normal." I agree with the President. Random, mass murder whether by guns, caused by mental illness, or by hatred needs to stop.

Therefore, I took the liberty of finding its biggest source...

If it's really true that you're 9 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist - then we need to have a talk. But where is our speech to address the thousands of Americans executed by police in the last 15 years? Is it not as speech worthy when the number of dead Americans is only 3 per day and is spattered across the country? Victims one by one?

Although we aren't allowed to know the actual number of American citizens killed by police each year, a database has been tracking news stories since 2013.

In 2014, at least 1,104 Americans were executed on site by law enforcement. No trial - just violent death. A quick scan of the headlines shows an inordinate amount of shooting deaths. So, the media reports on them, but without the outrage reserved for lone shooters who walk into public places spraying bullets at random people.
Not only do some sources average the deaths out to 3 per day, but also one American every 7.6 hours. That means if you saw this headline before work, and then read the story after you got home from work - two Americans have likely died at the hands of law enforcement in the meantime.

The media supports the agenda to remove gun ownership from law abiding citizens because of conveniently timed and fishy looking mass shootings by deranged males - but not from deranged, gun-wielding males with badges. The ones who may gravitate to such positions, who don't get screened. Who can simply move to another state or nearby department and restart their law enforcement career after they have killed.

Back to the numbers comparison - how does the amount of Americans murdered by police in 2014 (and on average every day) compare to the amount of Americans killed in all U.S. mass shootings? (A mass shooting is typically one person, who has randomly killed at least 4 people in a public place within 24 hours. Not to be confused with sprees, serial murders or mass genocide)

It's double.

In 2014 police killed about twice the amount of Americans as those killed in all U.S. mass shootings combined, starting in 1982.

The amount of people killed in all U.S. mass shootings - 567.

That's 567 people in 157 shootings starting in the 1980s. In 2014 alone - in one year flat - police nearly killed double that amount.

Again, where are the speeches? Where are the calls for mental health screenings and strict regulations for the authorities? Officers who kill don't have their three-part name plastered on front pages - no calls for their guns removed. And when they happen to use one of their "less-than-lethal" weapons - they kill. When they have only their fists, boots or their arms - they kill.

This is precisely why you never, ever give up your Second Amendment - or your guns. The tragedy argument must always be flipped back to the authorities who want you to be without any defense, against deranged authorities with all the force. Turn. The. Tables.

The trouble with malleable media statistics and their tunnel vision is - it's all pretty, framed lies. Recall when school shootings first took place - it was reported on daily for what seemed like years until the word "school" was now associated with "shooting" or gun violence. Of course it has has taken place and is horribly tragic. Nothing discounts that. But it's a focus redirect for a reaction and controlled outcome. Just think about what now continues to mow down Americans in violence at a most startling rate. Think about how different it would be if the media framed police involved shootings in the same light...they should! It should always be a national tragedy.

Not - the "new normal."

An inordinate amount of shootings took place between 2010-2013. Obama doesn't even wait for burials anymore before he calls for the removal of guns before hitting the greens again. And if people don't pay attention and sift through the truth they will find themselves stuttering and speechless when authoritarians - law enforcement perhaps - yank guns from their warm, living hands.

Take for instance, the new federal crime unit Chicago called for in the "wake of the 2014 Chicago Easter weekend shootings." Guns were the boogeymen man in Obama's old stomping grounds despite the fact that Chicago boasted the strictest gun control laws in the country - and also surpassed New York City in murder crimes in 2011.

The media rode the choppy waves of pointing to crime in Chicago as a reason to rid its citizens of guns, but also wanting to showcase a drop in crime to show that strict gun control works. The problem is - there was no drop in murder. Just a drastic change in how homicides were reported. It's amazing how much a homicide looks like "death from natural causes" when law enforcement deliberately record it that way. Additionally, operations for this federal unit began April 1 - before Easter. How then could the unit be formed in "the wake of a shooting" when it happened before the shooting took place? I think you know the answer to that...

Additionally, the mainstream media is still purse-lipped on the "mass shooting that never was." The one that was prevented by one responsible person with a gun. In fact, the "non-event" was lumped in with other shooting stories to showcase "more gun violence." (That's also known as deception.) An off-duty female officer saves the world from another Aurora-type shooting? Normally, that holds all the media-trappings of a heroic cause for celebration. Except when that last slot on the machine doesn't match the greater agenda of gun control - then it doesn't make it past the cutting room floor.

Again, I'm going to have to side with Obama on this one. Too many killings are taking place - it cannot be the "new normal" - but where, O where, shall we look?

As for [Obama's] claims that mass shootings do not happen in other countries, of course, he can easily be proven wrong. They do. And when they do, they are generally much more dramatic due to the disarmed nature of the public.

The Second Amendment is non-negotiable. It has to be, unless the world wants to witness an En Masse shooting here in America like never before. Which is why it was written of course - the only reason why it was written.

The Bankster Suicides

The building from which Thomas Hughes (reportedly) jumped to his death

by James Corbett TheInternationalForecaster.com
June 3, 2015
29 year old investment banker Thomas Hughes died in the early morning hours last Thursday after apparently falling from the 24th floor of his Manhattan apartment building. The Daily Mail’s coverage of the incident is revealing, not because it sheds light on what actually happened to Hughes, but because it deftly buries the most interesting aspects of the case under a sea of speculation and hand-waving.
“Exclusive: Father of investment banker, 29, fears son turned to drink and drugs to cope with stress and jumped to his death after a ‘Wolf of Wall Street cocaine party’!” blares the typically unwieldy tabloid title, and sadly the reporting does not rise above the level of that headline. After noting that Hughes is in fact the 12th person in high finance so far this year to take their own life (if that is indeed what he did), we are promptly informed that this has prompted a “renewed focus on the demands that Wall St places on young bankers.”
And his father’s “fear” that Thomas “jumped to his death after a ‘Wolf of Wall Street Cocaine party’?” If you can cover up the sidebar on the right-hand side of the DM’s clickbait-infested site long enough to actually read the article, you’ll find out that this is not what his father was actually saying. “I wish I would have crystal clear answers. If you met him you would say this is the opposite person who would seem like the kind of person who was considering taking this type of action,” the father was quoted as saying after asserting that his son was “enjoying his work.”
So what is happening here? Why are MSM outlets like the Daily Mail rushing to wrap this up as ‘just another suicide of an over-stressed banker’ before the police have even identified the body (which was unrecognizable after impact)?
The answer might just lie in Hughes’ resume. Although he worked for Park Avenue investment bank Moelis & Company at the time of his death, his Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) profile indicates he interned at JPMorgan Chase before going on to stints at UBS and Citibank.
Although you could be forgiven for having blinked-and-missed-it in the midst of the wall-to-wall coverage of the earth-shatteringly important Caitlyn Jenner kerfuffle, those three banks were part of the sextet that were just found guilty of manipulating the $5 trillion a day foreign exchange market and collectively fined an impressive-sounding but ultimately trivial $6 billion for the crime.
While this connection in and of itself may not be the answer to the Hughes riddle, it takes on a new light when we look at some positively ghoulish information on “dead peasants insurance” in the banking industry. For those who don’t know, “dead peasants insurance” is known in the business world as “COLI” or “corporate-owned life insurance,” or on Wall Street as “BOLI,” i.e. “bank-owned life insurance.” These are life insurance policies that are taken out by corporations for their employees. In the event of the death of that employee, the corporation gets the pay out, often behind the back of the employee’s family.
Although it is traditionally painted in the media as little more than a tax deduction scheme, Ellen E. Schultz uncovered an altogether more sinister possibility. In her 2011 book Retirement Heist: How Companies Plunder and Profit from the Nest Eggs of American Workers, Schultz published a memo from an insurance agent to Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co. discussing these types of insurance policies. The agent notes how firms like Procter & Gamble and Diebold were ‘suffering’ from low employee death rates (and thus low life insurance payoffs), but one firm had a significantly higher rate:

“A company the agent called NCC had a better death rate, he noted. People were dying at 78 percent expected mortality. ‘However, this includes three suicides within the first year which is highly unusual’— NCC had not had one suicide in twenty-five years until 1990. ‘Without these suicides, NCC would be running at 33% expected mortality. This fact highly concerns me.’”

As Wall Street on Parade pointed out in an explosive report on the subject one year ago, Wall Street, too, is heavily invested in these types of insurance policies. That report detailed how Wall Street’s four largest banks hold as much as $681 billion in life insurance in force on their employees, past and present, and JPMorgan holds up to $179 billion of that total.
And now, coincidentally, JPMorgan has been experiencing an unusual number of ‘suicides’ and unusual deaths of young workers since the so-called “bankster suicide” phenomenon began in December of 2013.
This list includes the likes of Andrew Jarzyk, another former tech intern at JPMorgan who went missing and was found dead in the Hudson River in 2014 in circumstances that have still never been explained.
Or Gabriel Magee, the Vice-President of IT at JPMorgan who apparently threw himself from the 32nd floor of the bank’s London headquarters after sending his girlfriend a text that he would be home late that evening.
Or Kenneth Bellando, a former JPMorgan analyst whose JPMorgan-employed brother was mentioned in a senate investigation into Morgan’s $6.2 billion Whale derivatives disaster that slammed the bank for lying to regulators.
Although there has been a larger pattern of bankster deaths identified by others in the past year and a half, it’s the JPMorgan pattern that sticks out: young interns and analysts, many of them tech workers for the banking giant, are ending up dead in unusual circumstances.
Could this be, as the Daily Mail and its ilk are all too keen to suggest, simply a case of overworked young investment bankers choosing the easy way out? It’s a possibility. But could it be something much more sinister? A heartless scheme to help meet the company’s dead peasant mortality projections? Or an attempt to silence potential whistleblowers about the systems JPMorgan is using to game the markets? These, too, are possibilities, though ones that will never be broached by the lapdog media.

Were Active Police Shooter Drills Taking Place In Charleston During Church Shooting?

By Brandon Turbeville

Global Research, June 24, 2015

Activist Post 23 June 2015

Region: USA

Theme: Police State & Civil Rights

It is now commonly known within the researching community that the presence of a military, law enforcement, or other related “drill” occurring at the same time as a high profile event is often an indicator that the event was of the false flag variety.
After, the Charleston shooting, there have been numerous questionable aspects of the tragic murder of nine people in the Charleston AME church that many researches have pointed out in articles, videos, and radio shows. For instance, the question over whether or not photos of Dylann Roof had been altered, the amazing ability of the Southern Poverty Law Center to have been one of the first organizations to release photos of Roof as well as troves of intel before any other media outlet, the psychological state of Roof after the rampage, the timing of the event, the subsequent agenda that was rolled out all stand as evidence that the event may have been a staged provocation and that Roof may himself be yet another mentally damaged patsy.
While it is difficult to determine the true nature of the event, evidence is continuing to emerge that may help in that determination.
If Andrew Pontbriand’s recent article is accurate, there may indeed be much greater reason to question the official story of the event – i.e. that Dylann Roof was a drug addicted white supremacist who decided to go berserk in Charleston. This is because Pontbriand has reported the presence of Active Shooter drills ongoing from a few days before the shooting and concluding after the murders had taken place.
In his article, “SMOKING GUN: Active Shooter Drills Charleston SC Day Of Shooting,” Pontrbriand indeed claims that he has found a “smoking gun” demonstrating that the shooting was a false flag event.
According to Pontbriand, who provides screenshots of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s website and schedule, an Active Shooter Threat Instructor Training Program exercise was scheduled from 6/15/2015 – 6/19/2015 in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Active Shooter Threat Instructor Training Program, according to the FLET website is:

designed to provide a field training agent or officer with high quality training and instill the analytical knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for the highest proficiency in this specialized field. The course takes Active Shooter Threat Tactics Training to the next level by emphasizing leadership, teach backs, and adult learning as well as the traditional technical skills needed by field training officers and special agents. This course is an intensive training program that covers a variety of tactical subject matters to include: individual and team movement and operational formation. In addition, this program focuses on the role of the field trainer and emphasizes evaluation skills and documentation requirements.

The training is more than just classroom work as is evidenced by the fact that participants are required to bring:

• Camelback or other means of hydration
• Appropriate wear (BDU, agency t-shirt (long sleeve or short sleeve), boots, etc.)
• Bug spray

If Pontbriand’s information is accurate, the revelation that drills were ongoing amid the days before, during, and after the shootings is concerning to say the least and may point to another Sandy Hook style staged provocation.
