MONEY AND POWER IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT FIGHT

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 05:20 PM PST

Once again our friend Bluegrass Bruce sounds the clarion call that highlights the fact that all those who purport to support the Second Amendment may have self-serving motivations that condition their thinking. Many of these so-called advocates are little more than fundraising organizations that benefit their owners – money machines fed by stories of the dire consequences to gun rights should the Second Amendment be abolished or restricted by government fiat.

Here is what Bruce has to say …

“Pro-Gun” Lawsuit Is About Money, Not Rights

The Second Amendment Foundation filed a lawsuit last week against I-594 in Washington State. It will do nothing to protect the rights of Washington state gun owners.

The lawsuit only addresses one small aspect of the law -- the restrictions it places on out-of-state gun owners. It says nothing about gun owners who live in Washington, nor does it mention that universal background checks are a clear infringement on the Constitution. Even if the lawsuit is successful, the worst aspects of I-594 will remain intact.

Why doesn’t the lawsuit challenge the legislation head on? Because the organization behind it – the Second Amendment Foundation – does not believe that universal background checks are unconstitutional. It supports them.

Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb admitted this in a press release, saying:

“We’re not trying to stop background checks. We’re taking action against a poorly-written and unconstitutionally vague measure that criminalizes activities that are perfectly legal anywhere else in the country, thus striking at the very heart of a constitutionally-protected, fundamental civil right.”
This is not the first time that Gottlieb has promoted background checks – far from it. He endorsed the Manchin-Toomey Amendment that nearly passed U.S. Congress in 2013. Last year, he released a video calling on gun groups to “lead, not follow” on the issue of background checks.

Gottlieb says that gun owners have to compromise on background checks because otherwise we will be dismissed as “extremists”. He says that we have to give up our rights because it is the only way to keep the Second Amendment intact.

But the late Aaron Zelman, founder of Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership, felt that Gottlieb had a different motivation for supporting background checks: fundraising. In August 2014, Claire Wolfe wrote:
“[Zelman] despised Alan Gottlieb and saw him as an opportunist who used scary mailings to turn SAF/CCRKBA into a fundraising factory. He saw Gottlieb as a person who needed and wanted ‘gun control’ because that’s what kept the money and the publicity flowing.”
The I-594 lawsuit is nothing more than a publicity stunt. It is not meant to protect gun rights. It is meant to raise money. Why else would a group that supports background checks take the trouble to challenge them – unless they thought there was money to be made?

It was recently reported that Gottlieb uses his gun rights groups to funnel money to the private companies that he owns:
“While tax documents show Gottlieb collects $72,000 in pay annually between Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee, millions of dollars raised by those nonprofits have gone to Gottlieb’s for-profit direct-mail business, Merril Associates. According to tax records nonprofits must file, Second Amendment Foundation paid Merril Associates $4.1 million between 2002 and 2012, while Citizens Committee paid the company nearly $1.1 million in that time.”
There are millions of patriots in this country who won’t budge an inch in their support of the Second Amendment. It is a shame that some people will bargain away our rights just so they can turn a profit.

Well said Bruce.

Bottom line …

I suggest that there are those among us who are actually aiding the progressive socialist democrats and others who want to eliminate or curtail our Second Amendment rights. And that we should not be swayed by their pitches, preserving our funds for the NRA (National Rifle Association), your state’s association, and your local gun club – the people who fight for the Second Amendment on an unconditional basis.

Keep up the good fight.

TIME TO LIMIT MUSLIM IMMIGRATION TO CIVILIZED WESTERN COUNTRIES?

Posted: 07 Jan 2015 08:02 PM PST

Islam has little or no tolerance for diversity of religious thought or freedom of the press …

Once again, we see so-called radical Muslims mount a mass-murder attack, this time on a publication that publishes satirical material in a non-Muslim country where religious free speech and the right to choose one’s religion is the norm.

ch1"100 lashes if you don't die of laughter"

At this time: 12 dead, five critical, 22 injured …

Paris Attack: Manhunt As Armed Killers Flee

Three masked men kill 12 people after storming the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, then flee after a gun battle.

The bodies of victims are being removed from a Paris building as police conduct a major manhunt for gunmen who killed 12 at the headquarters of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Three masked gunmen stormed the offices of the controversial publication, which has previously been attacked for its portrayal of the Prophet Mohammed. The attackers were armed with Kalashnikov rifles and a rocket-propelled grenade during the attack on Wednesday morning.

The attackers are said to have called out their victims by name before shooting them. In one video clip, one of them is heard to shout:

"We have avenged the prophet."

Source:Paris Attack: Manhunt As Armed Killers Flee

While the President of the United States touts Islam as the “religion of peace,” any rational person can see that the religion has little or no tolerance for basic human rights – especially the right to practice another religion or the type of free speech that promotes societal values.

Déjà vu all over again ...

From the White House Press Conference September 19, 2012 ...

REPORTER: The French government has decided to temporarily close their embassies and schools in several Muslim countries after a satirical weekly, Charlie Hebdo, that published cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad. Is the White House concerned that those cartoons might further fan the flames in the region?

CARNEY: Well, we are aware that a French magazine published cartoons featuring a figure resembling the Prophet Muhammad, and obviously, we have questions about the judgment of publishing something like this. We know that these images will be deeply offensive to many and have the potential to be inflammatory. But we’ve spoken repeatedly about the importance of upholding the freedom of expression that is enshrined in our Constitution.

In other words, we don’t question the right of something like this to be published; we just question the judgment behind the decision to publish it. And I think that that’s our view about the video that was produced in this country and has caused so much offense in the Muslim world.

Now, it has to be said, and I’ll say it again, that no matter how offensive something like this is, it is not in any way justification for violence — not in any way justification for violence. Now, we have been staying in close touch with the French government as well as other governments around the world, and we appreciate the statements of support by French government officials over the past week, denouncing the violence against Americans and our diplomatic missions overseas.

Those that claim these terrorists were not religious, have perverted Islam, or do not represent a significant majority of Muslims are lying …

For those who believe that a small group of radical terrorists should not be allowed to color the greater Muslim population, perhaps one should consider that Qur’an is quite explicit in the duties of the faithful and that the Qur’an itself cannot be modified as it is accepted as the literal word of God as transcribed by his Prophet Mohammad.

As much as we want to believe that Islamic terrorists are a religious aberration, it is not true. Perhaps we should consider that these terrorists represent the most fundamental historic and traditional interpretation of the religion – unaltered  by the western civilization’s concept of human rights.

Hundreds of millions of Muslims either celebrate or condone such attacks.

Proof may lie in the examination of the Whabbism that is practiced in Saudi Arabia – and exported worldwide through the funding of Mosques and the travel of radical Imams in Western nations. It is more than likely that the Saudis have given direct aid and comfort to terrorists in return for not attacking the Kingdom. Possibly why a significant section of the 9/11 report on foreign involvement, thought to highlight the involvement of high-ranking Saudis, remains classified.

And, let us not forget a fundamental fact: devout Muslims believe it is their highest calling to promote the spread of Islam, and if necessary, martyr themselves in the name of Allah and are promised their reward in the afterlife.

While not all Muslims are terrorists or want to return to 12th Century laws, we have yet to see a significant repudiation of terrorist tactics by their so-called “silent majority.” Perhaps they are afraid to speak out – but then again, perhaps they secretly agree with the radical faction of their religion?

Problematical immigration in Europe …

According to author Christopher Caldwell, who in his book, "Reflections on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West" pointed out that “'In the middle of the 20th century, there were virtually no Muslims in Western Europe. And,  "At the turn of the 21st, there were between 15 and 17 million Muslims in Western Europe, including 5 million in France, 4 million in Germany and 2 million in Britain." In some countries, Muslims have “demanded” autonomy and the imposition of Sharia law in their own communities.

He [Caldwell]  describes guest worker programs that far outlasted their economic justifications, and asylum policies that have served illegal immigrants better than refugees. He exposes the strange ways in which welfare states interact with Third World customs, the anti-Americanism that brings European natives and Muslim newcomers together, and the arguments over women and sex that drive them apart. He considers the appeal of sharia, “resistance,” and jihad to a second generation that is more alienated from Europe than the first, and addresses a crisis of faith among native Europeans that leaves them with a weak hand as they confront the claims of newcomers.

And, it is coming to the United States …

Since Muslims believe that non-believers should pay tax (jizya) to Muslims, they have no compunction from looting our welfare and social assistance programs. It is said that up to 80% of Muslims in Europe may be living on some type of welfare. <Source>

Prominent Muslim Cleric: Collect Gov’t Welfare as a ‘Jihad Seeker’s Allowance’

A prominent Muslim cleric in the United Kingdom reportedly urged a group of fellow Muslims to collect government benefits as a “jihad seeker’s allowance,” saying non-Muslims who work 9-5 jobs will end up “committing suicide” at the end of their lives when they realize it wasn’t worth anything.

“People will say, ‘Ah, but you are not working’.  But the normal situation is for you to take money from the kuffar. So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance. You need to get support.”

Comparing benefits to a jizya, or tax on non-Muslims, he added a laugh: “They give us the money — you work, give us the money!  Allahu akbar, we take the money.” <Source>

Mirror in the Blacks and their civil rights struggle …

Say anything negative about Islam or Muslims in America and CAIR (Counsel on American-Islamic Relations) will scream racism, discrimination, and civil rights violations. But, who is behind CAIR? Our friends the Saudis? The Muslim Brotherhood?

According to Zuhdi Jasser, founder of American Islamic Forum for Democracy, CAIR has received "significant Saudi financing.” CAIR acknowledged that it received $500,000 Library project from Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal. <Source>

It appears they have learned that they can use our own laws against us in their fight to bring Islamic traditions to America.

Bottom line …

Logo-peeing

If one were to describe the Muslim culture and its impact on Western nations, it would be best described as “adversarial.” Opposed to our concept of religious freedom, opposed to many of our cultural freedoms and practices, and opposed to a secular government not ruled under the Qur’an.

Our Constitution is not a suicide pact nor is it a vehicle to aid and abet our enemies, both foreign and domestic, as they plan the overthrow of the United States government or plan attacks on America or American people.

And, that there is little or no doubt that there is a fifth column operating in the United States which seeks to promote Sharia law and the expansion of Muslims. It also appears that the United States government is reluctant to move against organizations like CAIR – said to be the propaganda and fundraising arm of the radical Muslim Brotherhood – lest we violate their First Amendment rights. Like crying “fire” in a crowded theatre is not a covered First Amendment activity, neither should be the radicalization of Americans – notably Black Muslims and others in prison; where you have easy access to psychopaths, the disaffected, the angry, and the weak of mind.

It could happen here again -- remember the Fort Hood massacre by a radicalized domestic Islamic terrorist that the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, has refused to classify as a terrorist attack; labeling it workplace violence. The same Barack Hussein Obama that looked at the devastation in France today and could not bring himself to mention jihad, Muslim terrorists, or Islam. The same Barack Hussein Obama that wants to treat terrorism as a federal crime -- where they receive the protections of our Constitution and are told to remain silent  -- instead of an act of war – closing Guantanamo in favor of keeping terrorists in the continental United States.

Perhaps it is time to engage in a discussion of restricting immigration by more Muslims and curtail travel visas from any country that has a majority Muslim population. While the Islamic religion does not spread as fast as Ebola, it can be just as deadly. Perhaps we should quarantine those who want to live in the 12th century to those countries that live under 12th century laws.

Where do you hide when a large portion of the world’s population want you dead?

In honor of the slain French cartoonists and editorial support staff, say a prayer and send the terrorists a message.

Entire Police Force Held Over Kidnapping of Journalist 

Posted: 09 Jan 2015 01:08 AM PST

Reposted from an article on Vice News with additional material by Otis B Fly-Wheel

Police force held for questioning over kidnapping of Journalist Moises Sanchez Cerezo


Moises Sanchez Cerezo


All the Police Officers of a City in Mexico have been taken in for questioning over the disappearance of yet another Journalist in the Gulf Coast State of Veracruz, considered the most dangerous place in the country for Reporters.

According to the State Governor , the Police of Medellin de Bravo , more than three dozen officers - were held on Monday after unidentified armed men kidnapped Journalist Moises Sanchez Cerezo, known as critical of the local and State Govenrment, from his home on Friday. Nine assailants travelling in three vehicles raided Sanchez's home, taking him , along with a computer , camera , and cell phone.



Sanchez had worked as a part-time Journalist and Photo-Journalist, funding his small weekly publication La Union with wages he earned as a Taxi Driver. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Sanchez sometimes operated as a source for other local Journalists in Veracruz.


The Reporter had receiced multiple death threats over the last year from the Mayor of Medellin de Bravo, Omar Cruz , and other unidentified men, and recently had some of his equipment stolen, according to the Inter-American Press Association.


Cruz has denied the allegations

Mexico's Special Prosecutor for crimes against freedom of expression has registered 102 murdered Journalists from January 2000 to June 2014. It is unclear how many of these cases have remained unsolved or unpunished


Governor Javier Duarte , initially attempted to minimize Sanchez's Journalistic work, pointing out he was also a Taxi Driver and " a neighbourhood activist ".


The Medellin de Bravo Police were transferred to the State Capital of Xalapa on Tuesday to submit declarations to investigators. Veracruz's State Police took over security in the city.


Claudio Paolillo, IAPA Chairman , said that Sanchez disappearance is a poor sign for journalist freedom in Mexico. " We are concerned that the year has begun with indications that acts of violence against Journalists are going to continue.

"Moises Sanchez Cerezo had denounced a series of criminal acts in the City of Medellin de Bravo and its surroundings, making him an uncomfortable Journalist for the Mayor of said Municipality", Mexico's National Human Rights Commission said in a statement released Sunday.


The CPJ's 2014 Global Impunity Index ranked Mexico seventh among countries where Journalists murders are likely to remain unsolved. Mexico ranked first in the Western Hemisphere , reflecting data covering 2013.


The number of Journalist killings in Mexico vary because of different methods to identify such cases, but Mexico's Special Prosecutor for crimes against freedom of expression has registered 102 cases of murdered Journalists from January 2000 to June 2014. It is unclear how many of these cases have remain unsolved or unpunished.


The year started with other violent attacks against reporters, although it was not immediately clear if the incidents were linked to the Journalists work.


A local Television Reporter , Jesus Tapia , was discovered stabbed to death on Monday at his home in the state of Coahuila, he is the second Journalist to be confirmed murdered in Mexico this year , after the bodies of former Televisa reporter Jazmin Martinez and her husband were found on Friday in the State of Nayarit. 

The couple were abducted by a gang of kidnappers who phoned family members to demand a ransom , but battered the couple to death with a stone , before negotiations over the price of exchange could take place. Two people were arrested in conjunction with the kidnapping.


Press-rights group Article 19 in 2012 called Veracruz the most dangerous State in Mexico to practice journalism. Ten have been murdered since Duarte took office in 2010.

Regina Martinez Perez


Proceso Correspondent Regina Martinez was found strangled to death in her home, she had been badly beaten about the face and ribs , leading to demonstrations against her killing in Mexico City and elsewhere.


Regina Martinez Perez
The week before her murder she covered the arrest of an allegedly high ranking Zeta , the arrests of nine police charged with collusion with narco-trafficking organisations, and a story of the local Mayor who was arrested with other alleged cartel gun men after a shoot out with the Mexican Army.

Octavio Rojas Hernandez


In August 2014, a reporter for a Veracruz newspaper , Octavio Rojas Hernandez , was shot dead in front of his home in Cosolapa, in the neighouring State of Oxaca, after reporting on a Police Chief's ties to organised crime. 



A young man approached his door in the late afternoon asking if a car parked out front was for sale. According to a statement from the Oaxaca Attorney Generals Office , the man fired four bullets after Rojas stepped outside to discuss the vehicle, hitting him twice in the head and once in the chest and shoulder. The killer immediately fled , and Rojas was pronounced dead at the scene. His family since his death have a protection order placed with them.


Rojas had recently been working as a reported for El Buen Tono , a Cordoban newspaper in Veracruz State, which has been the site of a violent war between the Zetas and its former patron El Cartel del Gulfo. His last article published two days before his murder was an expose of fuel theft by cartels

Gregorio " Goyo " Jimenez de la Cruz


Last February, freelance Journalist Gregorio " Goyo " Jimenez de la Cruz was murdered after hit men were allegedly paid the insignificant sum of 20,000 pesos roughly 1500 dollars to execute him. At the time , the State Governor brushed off his murder as a " crime of passion " linked to one of his daughters. ( Otis B Fly-Wheel comment : I have heard of people being murdered in Mexico for a lot less money than this ).

Funeral of Gregorio " Goyo " Jimenez de la Cruz
Two daughters of Jimenez testified that Teresa Hernandez, a neighbour , had threatened their father after the reporter published a story about two people that were stabbed outside of her bar, saying that she knew people from the Zetas that would kill him.

Jimenez body was found in a fosa ( shallow grave ) together with the bodies of Ernesto Ruiz Guillen , a local Union Leader , and an unidentified Taxi Driver, Jimenez had written several articles on the stance of the Union Leader against organised crime.

AND NOW, A WORD FROM CHARLES…


“[President Obama is] the fourth quarter, he’s never running again. The reason he’s doing X, Y, and Z is not because … he’s working his way to the left or the right. He doesn’t need anybody. This is Obama the way he really is.” – Charles Krauthammer on “Special Report with Bret Baier” Watch here.
