The Right-Wing Revolution to overthrow the Government of the United States has progressed beyond a coup d'état by the 300 Republicans in the federal government and into a shooting war where Conservative Domestic Terrorists are gunning down Law Enforcement Officers.

Conservatives will not be satisfied until they undo the Will of the American People and enforce their evil through the barrel of a gun.

Conservatism is Terrorism.

Two Bundyists ambushed and murdered two Las Vegas Police Officers then absconded to a Wal-Mart where they killed another person before taking their own lives.

Dean Heller, the US Republican Senator from Nevada, gave his full support to these two and hundreds more Bundyists conservative terrorists in their showdown with the BLM, emboldening them to murder to Las Vegas Police Officers. "What Senator Reid may call domestic terrorists, I call patriots," Senator Dean Heller (R). 

The Republican Party fully supports the efforts of Conservative Domestic Terrorists because of the political power it grants them.

The Bundy Ranch Affair proved what everyone in the US Government knew in 2009. Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists pose a serious threat to the American People and Government employees.

The male half of the two killers often posted on Alex Jones Infowars, asking the question, 'The Police (To Kill or Not to Kill)'. Little Green Footballs has an early collection of information gathered on this particular Right-Wing Terrorist. (Alex Jones, of course, has proclaimed that these Domestic Terrorists are an MK-ULTRA fueled false-flag government conspiracy unleashed by Senator Harry Reid.)

The Las Vegas Conservative Terrorist Attack came on the heels and overshadowed another one.

In Georgia, a Sovereign Citizen decided to take control of a Georgia Courthouse to kill as many government workers as possible, take hostages and effect political change with his massive armory.

Of course, this Sovereign Citizen can be dismissed because his last name was MARX, and as every conservative domestic terrorist can tell you, 'the Nazis were named National Socialists therefore they are Socialists, duh liberals!'

So Marx was ipso facto a Marxist in the same way that the Chicago Bears Football team is made up of actual Grizzlies and Pandas.

It's bad enough LEOs have to worry about criminal scum buckets, but conservative terrorists are a bigger threat because they have the complete backing of the Republican Party and various well-funded, politically connected Terrorists Organizations like the Roger Ailes Fox News Corp, Wayne LaPierre's NRA and Tony Perkin's Family Research Council.

And no matter the attack Alex Jones or Wayne LaPierre will blame the Government. As when the NRA paraded a Navy SEAL out to make a propaganda video which... claims calling the Murderous Shooting Rampages, "shootings" is the real propaganda.

The Gun Humping Fanatics are rapidly turning our Country into a Failed State. The III Percenters, Open Carry Texas, Oathbreakers, the Cliven Bundyists all fit the classic definition of terrorists; Someone who seeks to effect political change with Violence or the Threat of Violence.

Nonetheless, what conservatives and their Republican backers understand is their implicit threat of violence (Molon Labe) is not getting them the Government Power they crave fast enough so they have moved on to Murder.

Update:
Bradblog has an interview of Daryl Johnson, author of the 2009 DHS report on Rightwing Extremism, by Brian Levin in 2011.

What we have in the US is a systematic turning of a blind eye towards Conservative Extremism. The Media doesn't want to cover it for fear of being labeled Liberal. So they go out of their way to minimize coverage. Additionally, when a Rightwing Domestic Terrorist Organization like the Tea Party or III Percenters or Oathbreakers, begins a disinformation campaign to proclaim some Shooter who was clearly inspired by Right-Wing Rhetoric is actually a Leftist. The Media dutifully covers that angle because it has to ensure both sides of the issue are covered.

Update 2:
The Internet's dumbest man, but most prodigious propagandist, Jim Hoft has declared the Las Vegas  Domestic Terrorists are Leftist Neo-Nazis and the comments are stunning.

This is the continuing cycle of Right-Wing Violence.

Who's worse? Karl Dönitz or Muhammad Fazl or Bowe Bergdahl? (Updated

As the Bowe Bergdahl incident drags on, his hometown of Hailey Idaho was forced to cancel a Welcome Home Parade as Right-Wing extremists threatened violent domestic terrorist attacks in response.

While, over at Faux News, conservative media gurus have organized former members of Bergdahl's platoon to smear him because, as I predicted Faux News is destroying Bergdahl as a way to attack President Obama.

I will only note that Josh Korder, who said in an interview with CNN of Bowe Bergdahl, "He is at best a deserter, and at worst a traitor," received a General Discharge under other than Honorable conditions.

In a trial, which is not what Dishonorable Conservative Media is engaged in, the character of a witness testifying against the accused is, of course relevant, as the Defense will try and impeach the testimony. However, that often leads to the smearing of the witness which I will not do against Korder.

What's of more import is the nature of those released. Republicans and Right-Wing liars immediately took to labeling the 5 released from GITMO as the "hardest, toughest, meanest" and the "worst of the worst".

Of course, conservative blow hards and bloggers couldn't be bothered to name their supposed crimes and couldn't even name the 5 released from Gitmo. Most likely, cause they all look alike to conservative racists.

Eventually, right-wingers were forced to reference NPR, New York Times publication of DoD JTF Gitmo files and the UN reports.

Muhammad Fazl was a military leader under the Taliban and was also a refugee from the Soviet Occupation of Afghanistan. I wonder if he received any CIA training in Pakistan to fight the Soviets in the 1980s... He surrendered in November 2001!

Khirullah Said Wali Khairkhwa is a friend of Hamid Karzi, who was arrested in Pakistan in January 2002...

Norullah Noori claims to have joined the Taliban in the late 90's then went to Mazer-i-Sharif to work as a bureaucrat and eventually "Governor" and surrendered in November 2001.

Mohammad Nabi trained in Pakistan (hmmm with whom again) and fought against the Soviets with the mujahaddein was arrested in September 2002.

Abdul Haq Wasiq a religious student in the 1980s he was a member of Taliban "Intelligence Directorate" and was captured in November 2001!

For over a dozen years they have languished in Guantanamo. Sure, they were members of the Taliban but, the Taliban was the Government of Afghanistan from 1996-2001.

Anything they knew of intelligence value expired 10 years ago. They didn't participate in the insurgency. It's despicable the level of active ignorance and violent stupidity on display by dishonorable conservatives.

Now, as right-wingers are pig ignorant morons I can't expect them to know the name Karl Dönitz. He was the last Head of State for Nazi Germany. Hitler named Dönitz his successor as Head of State prior to his suicide. Previously, Dönitz was the Admiral in charge of U-Boats at the start of WW2 and then Grand Admiral of the Kriegsmarine. 

After the war he was tried at Nuremburg and spent 10 years in prison. The last ruler of Nazi Germany spent less time in prison then the 5 at Gitmo...

But, none of this matters to shameless dishonorable conservatives. Because they are the drones of the Republican Party, remote control weapons sent to destroy the opponents of the Plutocracy.

Update:
Oh look Right-Wingers have taken to lying about the men released. No More Mister Nice Blog found PJ Media Andrew McCarthy retweeting a photo which he identified as Muhammad Fazl even though it definitively is not.

Meanwhile, retired Col. Morris Davis, former prosecutor at Guantanamo says the five are so inconsequential he doesn't even remember them. But, that doesn't matter to conservative liars.

The Right-Wing Media resorts to lies because they know their conservative drone followers will absorb and re-emit their lies with unthinking certainty.

Dishonorable Conservative Hypocrites piss on the Troops, Veterans and Bowe Bergdahl

Dishonorable Conservatives, as natural cowards and chicken hawks, hate Service members. As such, if you're a veteran and you aren't a rabid unthinking proponent of the conservative beliefs of Hatred, Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich they will piss on you. Doesn't matter if you are Pat Tillman or Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth or a Marine Veteran in Texas on Memorial Day or Bowe Bergdahl.

Once President Obama secured the release of Bowe Bergdahl the furious right-wing efforts to turn the fulfillment of America's sacred duty to her military members into a scandal erupted.

Of course, as Right-Wing hypocrisy knows no bounds, dishonorable conservatives were forced to delete and scrub their sites of pro-Bergdahl solidarity.

Over at Gawker, Adam Weinstein has a collection of tweets from conservatives who condemned President Obama, praised Bergdahl and agitated for his return until it was accomplished then they condemned President Obama, damned Bergdahl and agitated against his return.

Right-Wing powerblogger Jim Hoft, the thrice-awarded dumbest man on the internet, declared in October 2013, Horrible. Obama to leave POW to rot in Afghanistan after Withdrawal.

Bridgett Johnson of Pajamas Media, a "leading" Right-Wing disseminator of lies, back in Jan 2014 championed Bring POW Bergdahl Back by any means.

But that was Then, this is Now.

No More Mister Nice Guy has a Bergdahl Hypocrite Hall of Fame post highlighting how quickly the incestuous Right-Wing internet fart bubble got on-board with angrily espousing deeply held beliefs which are in direct opposition to their supposedly deeply held beliefs regarding Bowe Bergdahl.

But, it's not limited to everyday conservatives or "popular" right-wing bloggers.

Former Congressman and Lt. Col Allen West wrote piece after piece about how President Obama abandoned Bowe Bergdahl on the battlefield.

Republican Congressmen Lee Terry and Thad Cochran praised the return of Bergdahl until they learned it was anathema.

Unfortunately, as conservatives are shameless, no matter how many times you show their blatant hypocrisy, no matter how many of their previous statements undermine their current positions, you will never be able to mollify or blunt their efforts to destroy America. Jon Stewart on The Daily Show has been highlighting and ridiculing conservatives for over a decade and all it's down is strengthen their resolve to be disgusting anti-American scumbags.

I expect no less from Conservatives. They are the unthinking dishonorable drones of the Republican Party and by extension the Plutocracy. Conservatives piss on the military service of anyone who doesn't help them advance the Agenda of the Rich.

So, when Bergdahl was a POW his continued imprisonment was a way for Conservatives to attack President Obama. Now his release merely affords them another opportunity to attack President Obama.

Conservatives and Republicans don't see the Troops as people but as tokens for them to use to advance the Right-Wing Agenda to destroy the Democratic Republic and turn the Nation into a NeoFeudalist Wage Slave State owned and ruled by the 1%.

As for poor Bowe Bergdahl, he's going to face a Court Martial and Faux News is going to ensure it is a spectacle because the Right-Wing will see it as a way to put President Obama on trial by proxy.

Bowe Bergdahl's Freedom means President Obama's Impeachment (Updated)

Update:

Republicans had been blocking efforts at freeing Bowe Bergdahl since 2010. Because Republican see the Military Servicemembers as little more than wooden chits on a RISK board which they are willing to let languish in terrorist's hands to advance their despicable agenda of Murder, Oppression, and theft of Trillions.

Update2:

Michael Tomasky over at The Daily Beast believes Bergdahl will be used by Republicans to Impeach President Obama. I'm even tempted to say forget Benghazi—Bergdahl may well end up being the flimsy excuse for the impeachment hearings they’ve been dreaming of before all this is over.

"Our terrorist adversaries now have a strong incentive to capture Americans. That incentive will put our forces in Afghanistan and around the world at even greater risk,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. McKeon (R-Calif.) and the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, James M. Inhofe (Okla.), said in a joint statement.

Congressman McKeon and Senator Inhofe accused President Obama of breaking the law releasing a statement Obama is required by law to notify Congress 30 days before any terrorists are transferred from the U.S. facility. They said Obama also is required to explain how the threat posed by such terrorists has been substantially mitigated.

Thanks, Obama! Now Terrorists are going to kidnap Americans! Impeach President Obama Now! Put up or Shut up! Your new found love for the Rule of Law needs must result in Articles of Impeachment. Congressman McKeon swear out the Articles of Impeachment and bring them to the House Floor.

The entire Conservative fart bubble blog-o-sphere stands behind you! Not only is President Obama's law breaking action criminal, he released 5 hardened terrorists (according to Right-Wing blogs who don't even know the names of the released) for Bowe Bergdahl, a POW* who is alleged to have been captured trying to desert and Faux News analyst Ralph Peters wished would be killed by the Taliban.

The Conservative Strategy has been to throw as many lies, innuendos and fake scandals at the Obama Administration because they know that even if when they are refuted, proven false or ignored the sheer weight of their unrighteous indignation is enough to cause Real Americans to throw their hands up declare a curse on both your houses and ignore the political process.

Which is what Republicans want; the less We, the People participate in elections and the political process the better it is for Republicans because when Americans vote in large numbers they vote against Republicans.

Especially, when the American People see the disrespect and evil disregard the Republican Party has for the military. The only Veteran conservatives love is a Dead Veteran. The Republican Party hates Veterans and the military unless they espouse the conservative principles of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation for the Rich. Republicans especially disrespect and hate Veterans involved in politics unless they are Ultra-Reactionaries like Allen West or Ollie North.

And on the topic of Ollie North, the Republican Party is mad about the 5-to-1 trade because Saint Ronnie Raygun's policy was to trade military arms for hostages and use illegally obtained money to fund Reagan's Pro-Terrorist Policy outside of Congressional controls.

The way the first arms-for-hostages deal was designed, Israel would sell US-made weapons to Iran, and the US Government would replace Israel's weapons from its own stocks. As a favor to us, Israel was allowing itself to be used as a pass-through for America sending missiles to Iran. It was a shame the first arms shipment of ninety-six TOW antitank missiles to Iran ended up (and this was truly unfortunate, everybody agreed) in the hands of Khomeini's Revolutionary Guard. Worse, no hostage was released. It turned out to be arms-for-no-hostages. 

In spite of Reagan's high hopes, the second weapons delivery of more TOW missiles, also via Israel, shook loose only one hostage, and not the one [national security advisor Bud] McFarlane requested. 

In planning the third shipment, eighteen Hawk antiaircraft missiles, Reagan's operatives managed to piss off Portugal, endanger Turkey, get the CIA illegally involved, raise protests from the Defense Department, and move Secretary of State George Schultz to think about resigning... and all for nothing. 

Nearly six months and millions of dollars of weapons into the arms-for-hostages deal, Reagan had yet to inform Congress about the status or existence of the operation. (Drift Rachel Maddow pg. 103-104)

Pizza is Nutritious, says Papa John's Owner. Too bad he doesn't make Pizza.

Papa John's CEO John Schnatter is attempting to counter the negative publicity his Company has gotten due to Schnatter's disgusting political views and the investigation into Wage Theft at multiple Papa John's franchises.

During an interview with Inc, Schnatter asserted, "Pizza's nutritious, it's good for you."

Perhaps John, sadly the tomato sauce laden with high fructose corn syrup, sodium infused not quite cheese, soggy cardboard textured grotesqueries you produce are not pizza. They are imitation food products which impart little nutritional value but, have contributed mightily to the obesity epidemic in the United States.

And if your company was creating pies like the Art of Pizza or Pizza Rustica or Burt's Place in Morton Grove, then maybe I'd say, yes Pizza is Nutritious.

But, I thought John was supposed to Go Galt when the terrible failure that is Obamacare became law of the land?

But, of course, Schnatter isn't interested in making a better product he's interested in making more money for himself. Which is why he spends so much on advertising and marketing. Hiring Peyton Manning and paying him a couple million to hawk Papa John's Monstrosities is just putting the same shit in a new box but, then it's always been about making money for Schnatter and not making Pizza.

Contrast Papa John's with the recently hospitalized Burt Katz of Burt's Place, 

"I’ve run my own store for 40 years. I do all the buying, all the organizing, pay all the bills and do all the cooking. Nobody has ever cooked for me. I make sure every pizza is acceptable to sell. When you start substituting people, the standards vary and your quality promise loses value."

2nd Amendment Heroes are literally Running Amuck in America

It's time to recognize an uncomfortable truth, The United States of America is a Failed Nation-State.

A Governmental System crafted by Aristocratic Enlightenment Age Plantation Masters is failing to survive the assaults of the 21st Century or bind together 300 million people.

The chief problem facing the Nation are the murderous rampages, which while fueled by any number of disparate grievances or underlying causes, are easily carried out by the abundance of and easy access to the tools of mass murder; Guns.

The fanaticism of the small cadre of the NRA (and affliated Gun Groups), Firearm Manufacturers, gun humping lunatics and political hatchet-men has left Americans to be slaughtered at the whim of 2nd Amendment Heroes who are literally Running Amuck.

Running Amuck (also known as Amok or Amuco), 'a murderous frenzy or rage' entered the english lexicon when European sailors made it to Malay and Java.

As with today's mass killers, there where many theories why a Malay would Run Amok, some believed an evil spirit, a hantu belian, had taken over the individual. Anthropologists and others speculated the Amuco was an attempted suicide in a society in which it was unacceptable. This is colloquially known today as suicide by cop. Additionally, a social theory was advanced that in Malay society unattached young males were frequently denied access to women because older males had several "wives", thus causing the young males to go Amuco.

However, when someone in Java or Malaysia went Amuco centuries past, there was only so much murder and mayhem they could accomplish with a war club and keris before being overpowered and killed themselves.

Unfortunately, unlike the Amuco in SE Asia, here in the US we have Elliot Rodger (of Malaysian descent) in Isla Vista, California and the 6 people (3 stabbed to death and 3 shot) he killed along with the 13 injured by gunfire or being struck by his car.

But, while the spectacular gun massacre still makes news the daily death toll from firearms is barely noticed across the Nation. On Memorial Day, in Huntley, Illinois two middle-aged brothers became involved in a domestic dispute which ended with gunfire killing one, wounding the other along with the brothers' 81 year old mother.

Also over the Memorial Day weekend, in Myrtle Beach shootings took the lives of three people and wounded five more.

Last month in Montana, a homeowner murderer fired blindly into his darkened garage killing a 17 year old German exchange student.

Whole city blocks of cities are turned into nightly no-go areas where multiple innocent people are shot.

Political candidates invoke the spectre of "Second Amendment Remedies" or produce campaign commercials wherein they kill something with their gun. While other Politicians afraid of the powerful, blood-soaked Gun Lobby cower in fear and do little.

Meanwhile, roving bands of armed men descend upon establishments to engage in a thinly veiled primate genital display. (Note: If you see a bunch of men walking around with rifles the safest reaction is to believe a Mass Killing is imminent and escape.)

Second Amendment Maniacs claim the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Even if I were to concede that point, which I DO NOT, then the blood-soaked Second Amendment Maniacs tacitly concede that the United States is not a Civilized Nation nor even a functioning one. NRA scare tactics, conferences and videos also buttress this point.

Yet, after every mass murder, the firearm fanatics not only fail to pause to reconsider their beliefs they only serve to further entrench them in the thoughtless zealotry. And thus the cycle drags Us deeper and deeper downwards.

All of this points to one conclusion; We are on a downward trajectory towards a failed Nation-State. 

These are not the conditions of a thriving Culture or Country. It is the Necrosis of a Society crumbling under contradictions and internal pressure; Pressure which is on the trigger of a Gun, which can now be pointed at anyone, anytime. 

The Constitution is Not a Suicide Pact. We need not allow the whims and insanities of gun clinging madmen define America. We need not let the Second Amendment Sociopaths Collapse this Nation.

America has a long history of Mistreating Veterans

NeoCon Frank Gaffney: "It is regrettable that they had to die, but I believe they did have to die... I'm still delighted that we did what we did."

Sure, under the George W(orst President Ever) Bush Administration Republicans repeatedly lied and claimed they cared about Veterans when the truth was the Republican Party was trying to get as many Veterans kill themselves as possible while Bush and Cheney used Veterans and active duty military members as props in their re-election campaign.

Throughout his mis-administration W(orst President Ever) repeatedly cut the budget to the VA and eliminated benefits and medical care for Veterans.

Because the only Veteran Conservatives love is a dead Veteran. Then Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity or any number of chicken hawk professional commentators can stick their perverted inhuman right-wing ideology onto the lips of the dead Veterans, as they did with Pat Tillman.

And when it turns out Pat Tillam was anti-war, was against every part of W(orst President Ever) decisions and regularly read Noam Chomsky. Right-Wing Garbage Ann Coutler can simply say, "I don't believe it." Chicken Hawk Hannity gleefully concurs, "I don't believe it either."

In 2005 the Pentagon's then undersecretary for personnel and readiness, David S. Chu outlined what the Republicans found disagreeable. Veterans benefits are hurtful to national defense,

"The amounts have gotten to the point where they are hurtful. They are taking away from the nation's ability to defend itself."

So, the Republican Party under the direct leadership of Bush and Cheney began undercutting funds for Veterans.

In 2007, the Mainstream Media could no longer cover for the Criminal Bush and Cheney Regime when it revealed soldiers wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq,"fallen heroes," were being warehoused in Building 18, a rat- and roach-infested satellite of the Army's Walter Reed Medical Center. 

In 2008 when CBS News revealed the Department of Veterans Affairs and Doctor Ira Katz the VA's head of Mental Health deliberately withheld critical information about the true suicide risk among veterans.

Additionally, in 2008 NPR reported Army officials pressured the Department of Veterans Affairs to stop helping wounded Veterans with their paperwork so Veterans wouldn't get their proper disability rating or benefits.

But, none of this absolves President Obama. I expect despicable evil from Republicans I expect better from President Obama. 

The problem is America has a long and cherished history of casting aside the Veteran after the War is over.

After the Revolutionary War, Veterans found themselves at the mercy of corrupt Capitalists, who like the Hedge Fund thieves of today, swindled them out of the land grants and the promissory notes allocated specifically for Veterans. Perhaps 2000-3000 Revolutionary Veterans received a Pension.

Post Civil War homeless Union Veterans were in such abundance that in 1868 NY Governor Reuben E. Fenton claimed they "numbered in the thousands". It wasn't until the Dependent Pension Act of 1890, pushed for by Widows, Children and Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic that every Union Veteran was eligible for a Pension. Southern States had been providing Pensions, despite terrible economic hardships, for wounded Confederate Soldiers from at least the 1880's since traitors weren't eligible for Federal Pensions. 

According to Maris Vinovskis,

As a percentage of the federal budget, expenditures for Civil War veterans greatly exceeded those for veterans today (1989) which consume less than 3 percent of that budget. In 1893 veterans' benefits to former Union soldiers or their dependents constituted more than 40 percent of the overall federal budget.

In 1932 the Bonus Army, Veterans of World War I, peaceably assembled to petition the US Government for a redress of grievances but Republican President Herbert Hoover first sent the Washington Police and when they failed dispatched General Douglas MacArthur and his aide-de-camp Dwight Eisenhower along with George S. Patton and 6 battle tanks to forcibly disband the Veterans.

Much like Occupy the Bonus Army was attacked, driven out of their camp sites and had their tents and possessions burned.

Herbert Hoover's policies created the First Republican Depression, in a similar way that W's policies have created the Second  Republican Depression.

While the World War 2 Veteran, received praise, understanding and was cherished for his knowledge and experiences, especially in the creation of the GI Bill many WWII vets still fell through the cracks in society. Of the survivors from the Iwo Jima Flag Raising, USMC hero Ira Hayes drank himself to death in 1955. As a Pima Native American, Hayes also faced the bigotry of his era.

But, Rene Gagnon another of the 3 Flag raising survivors died in 1979 at only 54 years old an alcoholic as well. Broken, bitter and nearing the end of his life, Gagnon reportedly said, 

"When someone who doesn't know me is introduced to me, they say 'That was you in The Photograph?' What the hell are you doing working here? If I were you, I'd have a good job and lots of money.'"

It took a Veteran the stature of Audie Murphy speaking out about his post-traumatic struggles, previously known as Battle Fatigue or Shell-shock, for society at large to take note.

Nowadays, Hollywood can trot out any number of cliched movies with the homeless veteran cast aside by society or the self-medicating Veteran drinking a case of beer a night or the adrenaline junkie Veteran pushing the envelope to reenact the rush of combat, but these stereo-typed cliches exist because those Veterans exist.

Now in the Phony GWoT era, Veterans were a large portion of the Ranks of Occupy, because if one group can see how the American Capitalist system chews up and spits out people, it is Veterans.

Yes, I understand Republicans have been playing fuck-fuck games with Veterans, cutting VA benefits and casting Veterans adrift without proper care and services. But, they've been this doing for years.

The main issue concerning Veterans is Money. Whose going to pay for the wounded Veteran? Or provide the food and shelter so a psychologically scared Vet slowly re-acclimate into society?

Because the Republican Party sure the hell isn't.

Second Amendment Heroes taking the Country Back by threatening to Murder everyone who Opposes them

Gun Laws don't stop gun crime, in the same way that a Red Light doesn't stop a speeding car.

If we're relying on the abilities of the Firearm Fuckers to make sure guns are used properly and stored responsibly the death toll at the hands of Second Amendment Heroes will continue.

It's no wonder the United States has the highest rates of Homicide and Suicide by Firearm in the developed world. What's needed is enforcement, but gun humpers resist regulations with the fanaticism of religious zealots.

Right-Wing buffoons like to claim the US Constitution only restricts the Government's interaction with US Citizens. But, of course as with most topics, they are wrong; an everyday American can infringe on your Constitutional Rights just like the Government. Granted the Government is a special category and needs special constraints and oversight especially when evil Republicans are in power but, what the NRA, at the behest of the Firearm Manufacturing Masters, have been pushing is to allow private citizens unlimited power, especially the power to kill other Americans, without restrictions.

Second Amendment Heroes have been using this power to murder Americans, without Due Process, thus depriving American Citizens of their Rights. This used to be called Murder but thanks to the efforts of the NRA and the Republican Party it's euphemistically known as Stand Your Ground or more accurately Dead Men Tell No Tales so Kill the Other Guy and Lie just like Conservative Champion George Zimmerman.

Another Faux News 2A Super Hero Byron Smith got to do what every fanatic has dreamt of since Bernie Goetz, gun down criminals. Smith however, wasn't accosted on a NY City subway, he laid out a burglary trap which caught two young teenagers whom he murdered. (Warning: At the link you hear Smith execute the two young people Haile Kifer, 18 and Nick Brady, 17.)

"I’m safe now. Cute. I’m sure she thought she was a real pro. I feel a little bit safer. I’m totally safe. I’m still shaking a bit, but a little bit safer. I refuse to live in fear. I am not a bleeding heart liberal. I felt like I was cleaning up a mess. Not like spilled food. Not like vomit. Not even like diarrhea, the worst mess possible. In some tiny little respect I was doing my civic duty. The law enforcement system wouldn’t do it, I had to do it. I had to do it. They weren’t human. I don’t see them as human. I see them as vermin."

No reasonable person would grant Byron Smith the power of Judge, Jury and Executioner. I mention no reasonable person, because the NRA and Firearm Fuckers are the epitome of Unreasonable. 

(Jennifer) Longdon is no stranger to such attacks. Last May in her hometown of Phoenix, she helped coordinate a gun buyback program with local police over three weekends. On the first Saturday, a group of men assembled across the street from the church parking lot where Longdon was set up. They shouted about constitutional rights and tyranny, and called people arriving to trade in their guns "sellouts." (The program netted nearly 2,000 firearms with more than $200,000 in reimbursements.) 

Some of them approached Longdon. "You know what was wrong with your shooting?" one said. "They didn't aim better." Another man came up, looked Longdon up and down and said, "I know who you are." Then he recited her home address. The harassment continued, and the men showed up throughout the program, a Phoenix police official involved confirmed to me. 

After a fundraiser one night during the program, Longdon returned home around 10 p.m., parked her ramp-equipped van and began unloading herself. As she wheeled up to her house, a man stepped out of the shadows. He was dressed in black and had a rifle, "like something out of a commando movie," Longdon told me. He took aim at her and pulled the trigger. Longdon was hit with a stream of water. "Don't you wish you had a gun now, bitch?" he scoffed before taking off.

In April, Nathan Deal Governor of Georgia signed into law the ability of anyone to bring a gun anywhere in the State.

Immediately afterwards a Georgia Second Amendment Hero took out his piece and walked around the parking lot of a Little League Baseball game reportedly showing it to every mother, father and child in attendance proudly telling them there was nothing they could do about it.

One mother reported her 6 year old son asked her after the game, 'Mommy did that man want to kill me?' Probably not, but he wanted them all to know he could in fact kill them, with extreme prejudice and without fear of criminal prosecution.

Since Firearm Fuckers like to sarcastically ask, 'What gun law would have stopped this mass shooting?' How will the Guns Everywhere Law in Georgia stop shootings?

The two usual claims Gun Nuts cite; are the Murderous Gunman will re-think his planned rampage knowing that multiple people could be carrying a firearm themselves or the Concealed Carry Citizen will end the shooting by taking out the gunman.

Georgia is conducting a Social Experiment in which, the Gun Maniacs are willing to gamble with people's lives.

Now, a third claim made by Gun Nuts is that regulations and gun-free zones lead to Shootings. Often they will cite Chicago. But, the Second Amendment heroes in Chicago are extremely grateful for the NRA and loosening gun laws across the Nation. Of 50,000 guns recovered and traced after crime in Chicago 56% (28,000) came from outside Illinois. And of the other 22,000 from Illinois, the majority originated outside Cook County and Chicago's city limits.

So, what's the actual problem with Chicago's Gun Laws? That neighboring states, communities and Gun Nuts are lax and allow criminals to get their hands on easily obtainable weapons.

So, as you read the weekend tallies of Gun Shot Victims in Chicago just remember the majority of victims were shot with a firearm stolen from some conservative dumbass who left his gun on the seat of his pickup when he went to met his sister at the local Tug Shack in Mississippi or Firearm Makers in their zeal to flood every community ship their machines without proper safeguards and protections to keep them out of the hands of criminals,

13 Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport rifles were stolen from a (rail) yard in the 6100 block of South Lafayette Avenue sometime between May 4 and 6, according to the ATF. 

The assault rifles were taken from a load of 50 weapons in a Norfolk Southern container, according to a railroad spokesman.

Currently firearms are one of the top three items stolen in any burglary; money and jewelry being the other two. So, technological advancements which render a stolen firearm useless to the thief would seem to be a welcome invention. 

Firearm Fondlers like to claim advances in technological progress do not render the Second Amendment obsolete, yet when Belinda Padilla, Armatix, and the iP1 a RFID chipped firearm tried to bring the weapon to the American Market they were immediately set upon by the Firearm Fanatics at the behest of the NRA.

Unfortunately, the NRA is against such technology. Because the NRA and other Gun Lunatic Clubs exist to ensure Gun Manufacturers can sell more and more weapons. Such technological weapons progress would cut into their sales and is therefore not a welcome advance.

Regulation of Firearms and Firearm Owners is needed but it's an impossibility. No amount of dead children at a school in Connecticut or on the streets of Chicago have caused the NRA or Gun Owners to question their beliefs, indeed it has only served to harden the hearts and close the minds of Firearm Fanatics.

Hopefully, the next generation of Americans who grow up having lost a childhood friend by a gun will have the courage and resolve to Right the Monstrous Wrong the NRA, Republican Party and Firearm Fuckers have inflicted and continue to inflict upon the Nation.

Why Libertarians hate Teachers and love Donald Sterling

It's for the same reason Libertarians hate the American Middle Class because Libertarianism is a philosophical Rube Goldberg machine created to rationalize Plutocracy and defend Unearned Privilege.

Years ago when Teachers were only able to provide supplemental income to the family (with the exception of the all-male University Professors) there were afforded respect and looked upon as a bedrock institution helping craft American Exceptionalism. But, then Teachers' income increased, granting women economic security while they exerted political pressure through Unionization, while they also began to infiltrate Upper Levels of Academia encroaching upon White Male Privilege.

Teachers became part of the America Middle Class which the 1% hates more than anything else in the world.

The American Middle Class is much too mercurial for the Plutocracy, they don't bow down and worship the Moneyed Masters the way whipped conservatives and libertarians dogs do. The American Middle Class votes for nasty socialist schemes like Old Age insurance and health care for the poor, indigent and sick. These concepts are anathema to the Plutocracy and their Right-Wing slaves.

The Plutocracy began to decry Teachers because they were not molding American minds to be good wage slaves deferential to Power and Privilege. Thus, the Koch Brothers and other One Percenters created the Libertarian Party to train their little libertarian guard dogs, who would dutifully convince others that allowing the Rich to do whatever they want was the right way and would ensure that they themselves were the just upon the cusp of becoming the Masters of the World as long as they stayed in line.

Left-leaning libertarians, apparently exist, but libertarians are overwhelmingly young, white, males who more closely identify with the Tea Party or Republicans.

Reason stole this Image from Grand Theft Auto V

The Donald Sterling Fiasco revealed how much Libertarians see a Plutocrat losing his Privilege as an attack on them.

Libertarians at Reason were more concerned that a hypothetical minority Basketball or Hockey owner (of course meaning black) was going to get away with racist speech while apparently being so obtuse they didn't realize, or more likely didn't care, there is exactly 1 African-American owner in the NBA, Michael Jordan, and none in the NHL.

Additionally, libertarians were incensed that Sterling's precious privacy rights were trampeled upon when his "girlfriend" V. Stiviano, made the surreptitious recordings of him. Why she needs to be arrested for violations of eavesdropping laws! But, since Sterling isn't pressing charges to whom did the libertarians turn to punish V. Stiviano? Why the State.

If Sterling isn't going to press charges then there's no victim and no crime. But, Libertarianism is a cadre of young, white males who are adamant that the only acceptable use of State Power is defending the Rich and Powerful and ensuring their rights are placed above the rest of society.

You see the rest of society steals from the Rich and Powerful using the Power of the State.

Libertarians ascribe all sorts of evils and crimes to the "State". The State has killed Hundreds of Millions they claim, as if people were nothing more than instruments. Personal Responsibility disappears when the State can be blamed. They blame the State for such 'fictions' as pollution,

DissidentRight said... 

The pollution problem has been discussed ad nauseam, and it only becomes a problem when 1) businessmen are prevented from using the "pollution" as an input to some other industrial process and 2) when there's un-owned property upon which to dump it. Solution: 1) deregulate markets (people always find novel uses for industrial leftovers) and 2) assign ownership to everything. Pollution, as usual, is a problem that cannot exist without the State.

If it wasn't for the State the Koch Brothers (ala Hank Reardon) would turn Petcoke into usable fuel and there would be no petcoke pollution problem. And if you unfortunately are poor and happen to be next to the plant which burns petcoke well you and your kids cancer could have been caused by any number of things!!! Just turn over the commons to the Rich and they would be good stewards and would surely never allow or cause any permanent damage to occur.

But, all of their anti-state rigamarole covers their true agenda which is their absolute deference and defense of Power and Privilege.

Libertarians are just another breed of Reactionary Guard Dogs for White Male Power and Privilege. And the saddest thing is, libertarians can not envision a day when they will be treated the same way the Plutocracy treats Women and Minorities.

The Amazing Marvel Film Universe

Since 1998, when the Batman Franchise imploded under the weight of total camp and silliness, Marvel stepped up and 35 films based on Marvel Comics have been released.

The Amazing Spiderman 2, in a very poor showing, only held the Top Box-Office spot for 1 week before being knocked off by the juvenile movie Neighbors starring Seth Rogen and Zach Effron.

However, this is mostly because, The Amazing Spiderman 2 was awful. Modeled on the classic Death of Gwen Stacy storyline, the film simply failed. Besides the terrible special effects and the obligatory scenes of New Yorkers standing around gawking at explosions while NYPD vehicles exist only to be blown up, far too much film time was wasted on Electro's Origin, which followed the standard OSHA-violating industrial accident imparts super-powers to the victim who in reality would be dead.

The worst scene being the torture of Electro by the male Doctor Kafka, who wears make-up and listens to classical music while conducting experiments as an obvious cliched caricature of Doctor Josef Mengle. This character is made worse once it's understood that the inspiration for "Doctor Ashley Kafka" is an actual person.

One of the brilliant things The Dark Knight (2008) did was not show a villain creation scene for the Joker. Besides happening off screen, this also allowed Heath Ledger to taunt the audience and his on-screen victims multiple times with the 'Do ya wanna know how I got these scars?' line.

Instead of the cartoonish Electro created by genetically altered eels, why not just have Electro appear in New York rampaging and out for vengeance? During the course of the film, and I'm drawing off of Johnny Got His Gun, you can reveal this Electro is an eye-less, ear-less mouth-less electrically burned monster who can sense/manipulate electricity. Having been traumatized (perhaps by war or as an experiment for instance) and being little more than a charred corpse you can make him a lost soul who Peter Parker is forced to stop and is dismayed to learn he can not help.

One could argue such a film idea is too heavy or disturbing for a children's film? Well, ***spoiler*** Gwen Stacy does indeed die in the film. Though her death scene is, fortunately, not graphic.

Also why bring back the Green Goblin? However, it was accomplished the character would be compared to Willem Dafoe's excellent and psychologically frightening turn, in the Sam Rami Spider-Man film. There are many other Spidey enemies to choose from!

Of course, I would prefer the ultimate Spiderman Story of the 1980's; Kraven's Last Hunt.

But, perhaps I should be glad Sony Pictures won't be ruining that storyline the same way they flubbed Gwen Stacy's death.

Now, these films run into problems because even the Elektra (2005) and Punisher: War Zone (2009) had 40 million dollar budgets and even that kind of money is going to entail meddling from people unfamiliar or uncaring about the original source material. 

For instance, Ben Affleck's Daredevil (2003) committed the mortal sin, literally, of Daredevil letting a villain die. Daredevil, as the ultra-catholic, never kills and doesn't even let the scummiest of the scum die if he can prevent it.

The two Hulk movies (2003 and 2008) failed because the Hulk is an unworkable character for a stand-alone film. He's far too powerful, having literally carried a mountain range on his back in The Secret Wars. And the films end up with Hulk smashing a bunch of things and fighting a Hulk-esque enemy.

Iron Man 2 (2010) was an film which drew many detractors but, for the wrong reasons. I movie was fairly decent but was disappointed the film executives decided to give Robert Downey "palladium-poisoning", cured by Tony Stark's discovery/invention of a new element, as opposed to staying true to the source material and making Tony a drunk. The disease of Alcoholism, apparently being too heavy a topic for a film ostensibly marketed towards children.

The writers for the second Fantastic Four film (2007) apparently never read the Silver Surfer. While the decision to change Galactus from a big guy into an celestial monstrosity was fine, the Silver Surfer, that goofy footed philosopher has one line, "To Me, My Board"which must be included as the character swayed by the promise he sees in humanity turns on Galactus and fights for Earth.

Any film which doesn't include that line shows a lack of basic understanding of the character. Let alone the deeper Hegelian arc the writers undertook culminating in Issue 64 from 1992.

"On approaching the other it has lost its own self, since it finds itself as another being; secondly, it has thereby sublated that other, for this primitive consciousness does not regard the other as essentially real but sees its own self in the other." - G.W.F. Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit

The Dark Surfer and the Silver Surfer engage in the struggle unto death, as they attempt to get the other to acknowledge their superiority.

Complaints aside several of the Movie Franchises have succeeded both financially while staying true-ish to the characters. The Captain America stories (2011 and 2014) have resonated quite well. The Avengers (2012) succeeded with it's blockbuster approach. The Wolverine (2013), adapted from the 1982 limited series, overcame the earlier dreck from the first solo Wolverine movie Origins. (Please Note: Any comic book movie with Ryan Reynolds is guaranteed to be bad.)

The problem is Movie Studios don't want to take any risks with these stories. They'll go for what they think will make the most money as opposed to crafting a piece of cinematic art, based on a comic book.

But I, of course, am not the intended audience. Having collected comics from the early 80's through the mid-90's my quibbles and critiques are dismissed as those of a fanboy. What the Studios look for is the Hundred of Millions of dollars these movies make them in profit.

By what Right do you stop a Sovereign? (Updated: The FBI begins the Investigation of the Bundy Insurrection)

"Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests." … "They've got a big target there, ATF. Don't shoot at that, because they've got a vest on underneath that. Head shots, head shots.... Kill the sons of bitches." - G. Gordon Liddy Aug. 26, 1994.

Welfare Cowboy Cliven Bundy has reinvigorated the Sovereign Citizen Movement. According to Nevada Congressman Steven Horsford, the remaining Conservative Domestic Terrorists in and around Clark County Nevada have set up checkpoints where armed insurgents demand identification from people. Militia members also conduct armed patrols and show-of-force demonstrations at various community sites.

Just 6 months ago Republican Star Sarah Palin, and sitting US Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee marched with Larry Klaman on the White House. Unfortunately, they were only able to muster a paltry 100 Neoconfederates to their sides, during the Republican Government Shutdown.

The Republican Party has embraced the Standard of Arch-Traitors

But, Cliven Bundy's staunch demand for welfare, refusal to follow the Law, while threatening to murder anyone who dares enforce 20 years of his profligate lawbreaking garnered 1000 armed insurgents ready to use unarmed woman and children as human shields. The High Plains Grifter Bundy has given right-wing domestic terrorists their best opportunity to murder Government Workers.

However, Sovereign Citizens have already been shooting at and killing Law Enforcement Officers.

• On April 4, 2009 Richard Poplawski laid an ambush for the Police because he didn't like "our rights being infringed upon" and "the Obama gun ban that's on the way". He then proceeded to murder Officers Eric Kelly, Paul Sciullo, and Stephen Mayhle, while wounding two others. Poplawski bragged when he surrendered that he thought he had killed all five.
• On May 20, 2010 a pair of Sovereign Citizens, father and son Jerry Kane Jr and Joseph Kane murdered two Arkansas Police Officers, Bill Evans and Brandon Paudert who had stopped their vehicle. The manhunt ended with another firefight which wounded two other LEOS and the deaths of the two Kanes.
• On May 2, 2014 two Alaska State Troopers Patrick "Scott" Johnson and Gabriel Rich were murdered by the son of another criminal Sovereign Citizen. In the village of Tanana, Nathanial Kangas shot the two Troopers in the back with an AR-15 while they tried to arrest his father Arvin Morse Kangas.

There have been many other shooting confrontations by Sovereign Citizens and Law Enforcement.

• On March 10, 2013 James Gilkerson exited his car during a traffic stop and fired 37 rounds from an AK-47 during a gunfight with two Middlefield Police Officers before they killed him. 
• On March 27, 2014 Israel Rondon, a Sovereign who had numerous contacts with Police, was killed in a gunfight.

 "Those Crazies In Montana Who Say, 'We're Going To Kill ATF Agents Because The U.N.'s Going To Take Over' -- Well, They're Beginning To Have A Case." - Dick Morris, Fox News March 2009.

After initially seeing an big upswing in membership and interest with the election of President Obama, conservative domestic terrorists had hit on hard times as the Corporate controlled media tried to hide the Tea Party 'We Came Unarmed This Time' antics and conservatives tried to downplay their ties to the Militia Movement.

However, at this point the violent anti-government and pro-domestic terrorist rhetoric of the Sovereign Citizen Movement has been fully absorbed and incorporated into the larger Conservative Tent and is an accepted and celebrated core component of the Republican Party.

Now, while these incidents are terrible, they are a drop in the bucket of the American gun violence epidemic which takes 30,000 lives every year.

But, Gun Violence is only perfunctorily covered by right-wing news outlets and the Republican Party, with the right-winger usually taking the opportunity to push for more guns and less restrictions on gun play. But, the Sovereign Citizen Movement and their targeting of LEOs is never mentioned by Fox or the Right-Wing incestuous blog-o-sphere because it highlights an uncomfortable truth about America today; that Conservatism is Terrorism.

There are some immediate indicators if you run into a Sovereign Citizen. Glenn Unger, co-founder of the Guardians of the Free Republic, was recently sentenced to eight years in prison. He originally attracted FBI attention when his group sent letters to Governors advising them they could be "removed" if they did not adhere to their view of the Constitution. But, Unger was the tax scheming type of Sovereign, using his Sovereign Citizen tactics to engage in income tax fraud.

Orcinus has a good breakdown of Ernie Wayne terTelgte, the more dangerous type of right-wing wacko a regular Police Officer may encounter while on duty. terTelgte, theMontana Natural Man whose ideas have permeated and been accepted by a number of conservatives in Montana and across the country. As is evident by his "name" and how he refers to himself Sovereigns have oddly crafted "official" documents. As Ernie does they refer to themselves as natural men or decline to be considered persons as described under the 14th Amendment. They'll try to baffle you with bullshit, citing any number of legal-esque sounding terms and acts but, be wary because most likely a Sovereign will be planning on shooting you.

Update:

Everyone who was upset the BLM retreated during the initial cofrontation with the Right-Wing Insurgents in Clark County, Nevada should have known the Feds weren't going to just walk away.

KLAS- Las Vegas is reporting the FBI have begun the formal investigation;

The 8 News NOW I-Team has learned that FBI agents have started an investigation into the events surrounding a potentially deadly showdown one month ago. 

It is one thing for Cliven Bundy and his supporters to square off against an assortment of Bureau of Land Management employees. It is quite another when the FBI enters the picture, and that is exactly what has happened. 

The I-Team has confirmed that FBI agents have launched a formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations that culminated with a dangerous showdown on April 12, and the first people to be interviewed by FBI agents are Metro Police, starting with Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.

Despite the right-wing outrage at the Department of Homeland Security, The FBI and most Law Enforcement Agencies have long known that Militias and Conservatives are Domestic Terrorists.
