CNN resident gun-grabber Piers Morgan employs armed security to protect his home.

The hypocrisy in the entertainment and media industry just doesn't stop. Here's Piers Morgan, CNN's resident gun-control mouthpiece, advertising on his front lawn that he's got ARMED security protecting himself and his home:
Piers Morgan, the resident gun control advocate on CNN, protects his own personal property with signs warning that it is guarded by “Armed Response Security Systems,” according to a new investigation by self-described “guerrilla journalist” James O’Keefe.

Mr.Morgan, still feeling the butt-hurt his home country suffered at the muzzle-end of a few ungrateful colonists during the War of Independence, and later the War of 1812.

Rahm Emanuel: "But part of this is having an honest conversation, given that the lion’s share of both the victims and the perpetrators are young African-American men."

"We have to have more investment in our children. But part of this is having an honest conversation, given that the lion’s share of both the victims and the perpetrators are young African-American men."

It's an open secret that few politicians or community leaders have the honesty and courage to address. The majority of violent crime in this country, by far, is black-on-black. Everybody knows it, but "political correctness" forbids us mention of it. Where did Rahm suddenly find the fortitude to speak truth? I heard him say it on the news, and couldn't believe my ears. Not surprisingly, the media mostly ignored the statement, it took me a a while to find reference in print. Had a conservative politician made the same statement, they would have been roasted by the liberal media. Rahm says it and it goes mostly unreported. 

Social engineering policies of the past decades have failed the black community miserably. Who decided that  African Americans have less ability, talent and mental capacity than whites and should be given preferential treatment? Oh yeah, that has been a resounding success for the black community. And that's no secret.

Anderson Cooper: "What's that smoke?"

Was the national media the only people NOT listening to a live internet radio scanner feed during the final moments of Christopher Dorner's life? Was law enforcement completely unaware that anyone in the world with a 'net connection could overhear their plans to kill Christopher Dorner by burning him to death?

The internet really does reach into some remote places. Who would ever have imagined that you could view multiple live helicopter news video feeds while simultaneously monitoring multiple law enforcement radio communications. This was easily the most spectacular "reality" event ever broadcast.

As my wife and I sat watching the scene unfold on television last night, I was able to listen in on the radio communications of the officers on the ground who had surrounded Dorner in the cabin. Here I was, in my living room nearly 2,000 miles away, viewing the helicopter video feed on television while listening to live police radio communications on the internet.

Anyone listening would have heard in real time the search for Dorner and the chase, then frantic calls of "officer down officer down," "medic ship is in the air" and "deputies still down in the kill zone." At one point I commented to my wife how embarrassing this is going to be for mainstream media. Their information was waaay behind what I knew was actually happening via the scanner feed, and what they were reporting had that fuzzy, unclear message that you get when the news is passed from someone, who is not quite sure what to say, to someone to someone else, then to a camera man who passes it to a reporter who tells it to a producer who passes it to another producer who re-languages the words for the on-air news anchor. It's no wonder we roll our eyes at most news reports these days.

And then the media was ordered to "stand down." They promptly complied by pulling their helicopters out of visual range of the scene. They knew as well as I did what was coming next, and didn't have the guts to let their viewers witness the truth. That's called complicity, and they are guilty. At this point I had one of those moments where you get that "tingly" feeling on the back of your neck and you know what's going to happen even before it does, and I said to my wife, "they're going to burn him to death". And they did.

A few minutes later I overheard the words “The burners are deployed, and we have a fire.” "Burners" are police slang for tear-gas canisters, with good reason as they are well known to start fires wherever they are used. It's common for tactical units to have Fire Department units on scene when they may be using tear gas. They'd used multiple "burners" to start the house on fire. And being that an active shooter was in the home, Fire Department units were safely away from the scene. Moments later the old wood cabin was engulfed in flames. 

Here's some of what was overheard and captured from the police scanner feeds:
OFFICER: “Fucking burn this motherfucker”
OFFICER: “Alright, we’re gonna go ahead with the plan with the burners”
OFFICER: “Copy” 
OFFICER: “Like we talked about”
OFFICER: “The burners are deployed, and we have a fire”
DISPATCHER: "Copy, burners are deployed, and we have a fire
 OFFICER: "cabin is starting to collapse.”
The cabin was a smoldering heap of ash before the mainstream media even knew what was happening. Ten minutes later CNN's Anderson Cooper: "Hey, what's all that smoke from?" DUH.

And here we are the morning after, all of us talking about what happened. As details emerge of what transpired during this entire spectacle, there is going to be plenty of media spin. The high-fives at LAPD lasted about 10 minutes before everyone there began to face the mess that needs to be cleaned up. It's the morning after and you can be damn sure those that need to be are in meetings getting their stories straight and making decisions on how this is going to be messaged to the media. Some are gonna eat shit sandwiches, others will be promoted. 

My own thoughts: This was handled badly by the LAPD from the start. The ensuing LAPD panic resulted in the shooting of three civilians when officers opened fire on two different pickup trucks because they thought they looked kinda like Dorner's vehicle. Lesson learned: the cops aren't as cool and well trained as they would have you believe. As a result the LAPD with the help of the media have turned Chris Dorner into a false hero for those who believe that police departments are secret organizations that are out of control and our oppressive government will crush anyone that tries to reveal any secrets. This story is going to give us plenty to talk about in the upcoming weeks. 


UPDATE: Seems the media is very aware of internet links to radio scanners today. I predict the news media will take a page from NASCAR's playbook and be ready to go with radio scanner technology for future coverage of events like we saw last night.

65.4 Million Guns Bought Since Obama Took Office

from cnsnews.com
By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr.
There have been 65,376,373 background checks completed for Americans purchasing firearms since February of 2009, the first full month of Barack Obama's presidency.

According to data compiled by the FBI, the number of Americans purchasing guns has skyrocketed since Obama was elected.
In 2009, there were 13,984,953 background checks for Americans buying firearms. If we subtract the 1,212,860 checks completed in the month of January, the total checks for the year under Obama were 12,772,090.
For 2010, background checks totaled 14,320,489. In 2011, checks were 16,336,732, and in 2012, 19,463,832. Background checks for the month of January 2013 were 2,483,230.
This totals 65,376,373 background checks completed since President Obama's first full month in office, or 44,748 background checks per day!
By comparison, the number of gun purchases in Obama's first term is 91.1% higher than President George W. Bush's first-term total of 34,214,066 background checks.

Tony Bennett: DERP

Tony Bennett is old enough to know. He was there. He fought in Europe with the US Army as an infantryman. He knew what the Nazi agenda was, he saw it firsthand. God bless him for his service. 



Shame on "demandaplan.org" for exploiting Tony Bennett. Shame for embarrassing this elder gentleman and veteran of WWII. Shame on you for using his name, reputation, career and voice  to advance your agenda when he clearly has reached a place in his life where his memories, thoughts and words are no longer clear. It's more than shameful that CNN repeatedly air the video only to humiliate Tony Bennett and his family just to promote their agenda and ratings. 
  • TONY BENNETT: "It's the kind of turn that happened to the great country of Germany, when Nazis came over and created tragic things, and they had to be told off. And if we continue this kind of violence and accept it in our country, the rest of the world's going to really take care of us, in a very bad way"
"kind of turn" ??

"Nazis came over and created tragic things" ??? 

"the rest of the world's going to really take care of us, in a very bad way" ????

Nazis had to be "told off" ???

Tragic things? Like that Holocaust thing??  Told off? The rifle that the Dept of Defense issued infantryman Benedetto was loaded with something more lethal than harsh words. 

Most anyone who has older parents, friends or relatives knows what I'm talking about. People you love, that raised you, gave you everything you needed to become who you are today. People that had long successful careers, created and did great things, and saw friends and family die while fighting evil during WWII. Now these people are in a difficult time in their lives, their memories and thoughts no longer connect in a logical manner. Shame on anyone that would take advantage of the weakness of the elderly to promote their political agenda.

RuPaul tops Piers Morgan in TV ratings.

Apparently, an irrelevant old colonialist wailing about the American Bill of Rights like a spoiled teenage girl isn't what people turn on the television to see. Even liberals. They've got a new boss over at CNN, we'll see how long he lets this turd wallow before he flushes him back to the UK.

“I know he was on medication and everything, but she homeschooled him at home cause he couldn’t deal with the school classes"

We've heard very little in the media about Adam Lanza's mental health issues and the drugs he was on, yet in the few interviews done with family friends they keep telling us this: Adam Lanza was "on medication and everything", "she homeschooled him at home cause he couldn’t deal with the school classes".

Instead we get hour after hour of shrill reporting on how guns are the problem. By all witness accounts, Adam Lanza had psychiatric illness. He was being medicated. He had behavioral problems that caused his mother to remove him from the school system. His mother knew him better than anyone. She should have recognized the danger of having ANY firearms in the home with her son. She paid with her life for her own stupidity. Sadly, 26 children and adults had to pay also.

"it is simply indisputable that most perpetrators of school shootings and similar mass murders in our modern era were either on – or just recently coming off of – psychiatric medications:
Columbine mass-killer Eric Harris was taking Luvox – like Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor and many others, a modern and widely prescribed type of antidepressant drug called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. Harris and fellow student Dylan Klebold went on a hellish school shooting rampage in 1999 during which they killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 24 others before turning their guns on themselves.Luvox manufacturer Solvay Pharmaceuticals concedes that during short-term controlled clinical trials, 4 percent of children and youth taking Luvox – that’s 1 in 25 – developed mania, a dangerous and violence-prone mental derangement characterized by extreme excitement and delusion.
Patrick Purdy went on a schoolyard shooting rampage in Stockton, Calif., in 1989, which became the catalyst for the original legislative frenzy to ban “semiautomatic assault weapons” in California and the nation. The 25-year-old Purdy, who murdered five children and wounded 30, had been on Amitriptyline, an antidepressant, as well as the antipsychotic drug Thorazine.
Kip Kinkel, 15, murdered his parents in 1998 and the next day went to his school, Thurston High in Springfield, Ore., and opened fire on his classmates, killing two and wounding 22 others. He had been prescribed both Prozac and Ritalin.
In 1988, 31-year-old Laurie Dann went on a shooting rampage in a second-grade classroom in Winnetka, Ill., killing one child and wounding six. She had been taking the antidepressant Anafranil as well as Lithium, long used to treat mania...."

The list goes on. Click here for the rest of the article.

The stupid, it runs deep.

 The stupidity of adults never stops amazing me:
"State Rep. Stephen Dargen, a Democratic legislator from West Haven, wants the names and addresses of about 170,000 handgun permit holders in the state to be made public.
Names of gun owners are now confidential, but Dargen believes if people know how many guns are spread across communities, they’ll be safer."
There is so much emotionally driven stupidity in this country right now, it appears many Americans would wish harm on their friends, neighbors and even family. 

Nice comb-over Stu:

Armed security now at Sandy Hook school... Just a couple weeks ago the NRA was lampooned in the press for making this very recommendation.

In Newtown, Police Chief Michael Kehoe said patrols have increased in the weeks after the shooting, and there is a police presence in all of the town's schools.

Hypocrisy in the media.

not at all surprised to see the Journal News in White plains, NY, which recently "outed" area gun permit holders, has hired ARMED security for it's offices:
According to police reports on public record, Journal News Rockland Editor Caryn A. McBride was alarmed by the volume of “negative correspondence,” namely an avalanche of phone calls and emails to the Journal News office, following the newspaper’s publishing of a map of all pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester.

Demand celebrities go fuck themselves.

Hollywood hypocrisy at its finest: 




Here's the original PSA video featuring Hollywood's most outstanding hypocrites. They didn't really think this out, did they, 'cuz it doesn't look like it worked as they had planned...

Many generations later, some British are still feeling butt-hurt over the pranging they took at the end of American colonist gun barrels.

Piers Morgan seems to be one of those that can't quite get over it. But he does appear to have an elemental grasp of the logic behind Second Amendment to our Constitution: 
"I’m British, a breed of human being who burned down the White House in 1814 and had to be forcefully deported en masse, as no American will ever be allowed to forget – Special Relationship notwithstanding.
It’s no exaggeration to say that America’s unique fondness for guns pretty much got cemented by hatred of us Brits and the War of Independence."
This guy is nothing more than an asshole hoping his dubious, over-the-top behavior will pass as something controversial. Just another entertainer looking for ratings boost.




Journal News to "out" more firearm permit holders.

These assholes last week outed thousands of pistol permit holders in suburban Westchester and Rockland counties just north of New York City, and have now stated thew will add names to the list as the information becomes available. Publishing these names is pure recklessness, the danger in doing so obvious. Thankfully some have chosen to fight back by publishing the personal information of the newspaper's publisher, editor and writer:


White Plains newspaper The Journal- News, a Gannett publication, has published the full name and address of every licensed pistol permit holder in three New York counties. I don’t know whether the Journal’s publisher Janet Hasson is a permit holder herself, but here’s how to find her to ask:

I would encourage all to contact these people directly to express your views. And while you're at it be sure to tell them to have a nice day.

Mass murder of white children has more political value then the mass murder of minority children.

John Kass, one of the few truth-speakers in Chicago media was on CNN yesterday, and articulated what many of us already recognize: The media doesn't seem to care that hundreds of Latino and African-American children are murdered every year in Chicago. It is not uncommon on a hot summer weekend for as many as as many as 50 people to be shot. Where's the outrage? The demands for action? These are "ghetto kids", so I guess it doesn't play into the media story line on guns:
“We make the Sandy Hook – which was a tragedy – a big deal. Why don’t the politicians come to the funerals of the dead African-American and Latino kids who get killed by the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds,” asked Kass. “The media has ghettoized these children, these homicide victims.”....“I’m not diminishing the others, I’m just saying, President Obama, show up at a funeral here in Chicago once in a while too,”
And he reminded us of just who President Barack Obama's mouthpiece is:
"a TIME Magazine reporter once compared former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to Andy Griffith’s depiction of the sheriff of Mayberry. “Now that reporter is the press secretary for President Obama,” Kass said, referring to White House Press Sec. Jay Carney."
John Kass may be the only person in Chicago media that "gets it". I hope he doesn't let this story disappear.
