Political opportunists seize upon tragedy to attack second amendment
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Friday, July 20, 2012||
Within hours of the tragic ‘Batman’ shooting in Aurora,
Colorado, political opportunists have seized upon the incident to push
for
gun control, with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg demanding that
both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama “stand up and tell us what they’re
going to do about” mass shootings.
Exactly as we predicted in our earlier article, leftists have wasted
no time in exploiting the actions of a lone lunatic for political grist,
with
Bloomberg calling on the two presidential candidates to crack down
on gun rights.
We knew ghouls like Bloomberg would rush to exploit this
tragedy to try and crush the right to self defense.
Quite how either Romney or Obama have the power to
reverse a Hollywood-inspired culture that serves up lashings of violence
to young people like turkey at Thanksgiving is anyone’s guess.
In addition, the notion that either of the presidential
candidates can put a halt to a juggernaut
pharmaceutical industry that doles out violence-causing SSRI drugs
to youngsters like penny candy is clearly asinine.
“I mean, there’s so many murders with guns every day,”
said Bloomberg. “It’s just gotta stop. And instead of these two people,
President [Barack] Obama and Governor [Mitt] Romney talking in broad
things about, they want to make the world a better place. OK. Tell us
how. And this is a problem. No matter where you stand on the Second
Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear
from both of them, concretely, not just in generalities, specifically,
what are they going to do about guns?”
Bloomberg
told WOR News Talk Radio 710.

Bloomberg was followed in his idiocy by
CNN host and all-round smarm-merchant Piers Morgan, who in a series
of tweets hastily seized upon the tragedy to promote his lust for
disarming the general public.
“America has got to do something about its gun laws. Now
is the time,” said Morgan.
“Lunatics like this will always try and get guns. It
should be 100,000 times harder than it is for them to do so. That’s my
point,” he added.
Perhaps the more fundamental question that needs to be
asked as to why America keeps experiencing mass shootings, when as
recently as twenty years ago they were few and far between, is to what
extent our sick culture and entertainment industry is contributing to
the general malaise and unfeeling psychosis that seems to have gripped
the younger generations?
Why were there so few mass shootings just two decades
ago compared to now? Has the number and availability of guns increased
substantially? No. Is the sewer pipe we call Hollywood and the
entertainment industry pumping out sicker, more nihilistic and more
violence-strewn films than ever before? Yes.
As numerous observers have noted, the recent Batman
films have contained unnerving amounts of violence that seem to serve
little purpose other than to appease a bloodthirsty craving for gore and
brutality amongst young people, who have had such sickness foisted upon
them through movies, entertainment,
video games and popular music.
As Jenny McCartney
notes in the Telegraph, we have been turned into a society seduced
by sadism.
This sadism is also more accessible to children and
young people than ever before. Many people today are asking what a
6-year-old child was doing at a midnight screening of a movie?
In addition, the fact that these kind of movies are able
to generate such a level of suspended disbelief that victims thought the
shooting was initially part of the movie, is a shocking example
of how much power the big screen has to warp minds.
It’s also now come to light that Warner Bros paired the Batman movie
with a trailer for a film which shows “a gangster with a machine gun
shooting up people in a movie theater from behind the big screen.”
Once again, before we even know anything about the
24-year-old shooter James Holmes, the establishment media and leftist
political operatives are rushing to denounce gun rights as the culprit
behind the tragedy, once again failing to address the underlying root
cause – a sadistic, death obsessed culture that allows young men to be
drawn into bizarre fantasy worlds where violence is seen as an alluring
adventure.

Police say the major threat from bombs and booby traps at
the home of a man suspected of the movie killings in
Colorado is over.
Aurora Police Chief Daniel Oates says the
suspect's flat was rigged to kill police
Officials say they
have "significantly reduced" the threat from bombs and booby traps
at the Colorado home of the man suspected of shooting dead 12 people
at a Batman film screening.
Robots were initially used but agents still have to enter without
setting off any remaining devices.
The flat belongs to James Holmes, suspected of the killings on
Friday.
Police said the suspect had acted with "calculation and
deliberation", taking ammunition deliveries for months.
Arapahoe County Coroner Michael Dobersen has now released the
names of the dead.
All the victims' deaths were related to gunshot wounds.
In addition to those killed, 58 people were also hurt in the
attack at a Century 16 cinema in the Denver suburb of Aurora.

A man in a gas mask and body armour threw
tear gas canisters at a midnight screening, then fired on the crowd
in the cinema.
James Holmes, 24, was arrested outside the cinema, police said.
'Designed to kill'
FBI agents and police discovered the home was booby-trapped when
they used a camera at the end of a 12-foot pole to look inside.
Aurora police chief Dan Oates said: "I've personally never seen
anything like what we've found in there."
Early on Sunday the bomb squad staged a small controlled
explosion in the building and officers disarmed trip-wires and an
incendiary device.
The first trip wire was strung across the doorway of the flat,
and inside were reported to be jars filled with accelerants,
chemicals that would explode when mixed together and more than 30
improvised grenades.
Police say they hope to remove all hazardous material by 19:00
local time (01:00 GMT).
Mr Oates said: "This apartment was designed to kill whoever
entered it," adding that would most probably have been a police
officer.
"If you think we are angry, we sure as hell are angry," Mr Oates
said.

Cinema shooting suspect
- James Holmes, 24, was a former neuroscience PhD student
at University of Colorado-Denver
- Attended high school in San Diego, California, where his
parents still live
- He lived in an apartment in north of Aurora, about five
miles from the cinema
- Only previous brush with the law was a summons for
speeding in October 2011
In terms of laying charges, Mr Oates said:
"Everything is pointing to a state prosecution on all charges."
Residents were evacuated from the building and four other
premises nearby.
Hundreds of mourners joined a vigil near the cinema in Aurora on
Friday night, leaving candles and flowers outside.
James Holmes was said to be armed with a rifle, a shotgun and two
pistols when he launched his assault on the midnight screening of
the new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.
He also bought 6,000 rounds of ammunition over the internet, Mr
Oates said.
The police chief said that all weapons and ammunition were
purchased legally within the past few months, and that the suspect
had received a high volume of packages to his home and work place.
The University of Colorado Hospital said it was still treating
five patients in critical condition.
The Medical Center of Aurora said four of its patients remained
in intensive care.
Authorities have established no terrorism link, nor any motive,
and Mr Holmes had no criminal record other than a speeding fine.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson told Reuters news agency
that Mr Holmes was being held in solitary confinement for his own
protection.
"We typically do this in high-profile cases. It has nothing to do
with any specific threat," he said.
Mr Holmes will appear at Arapahoe County District Court, in
nearby Centennial, Colorado, on Monday at 09:30 local time (15:30
GMT).
Colorado Batman shooting shows obvious signs
of being staged
NaturalNews) James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado shooter who reportedly
opened fire at a Batman movie premiere, was a medical student at the
University of Colorado, pursuing a PhD in neuroscience, reports ABC
News. (http://abcnews.go.com/US/mass-shooting-colorado-movie-theater-14-peop...)
As part of the attack, Holmes painted his hair red and referred to
himself as "The Joker," one of the arch enemies in the DC
Comics-inspired Batman movie series. (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/07/20/police-14-dead-in-colorado-the...)
According to news reports, this sudden violent rampage was completely
out of character for James Holmes, who was described as "shy."
The New York Times is now reporting:
Billy Kromka, a pre-med student at the University of Colorado,
Boulder, worked with Mr. Holmes for three months last summer as a
research assistant in a lab of at the Anschutz Medical Campus. Mr.
Kromka said he was surprised to learn Mr. Holmes was the shooting
suspect. "It was just shocking, because there was no way I thought he
could have the capacity to do commit an atrocity like this," he said.
(http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/21/us/colorado-mall-shooting.html?page...)
"He spent much of his time immersed in the computer, often participating
in role-playing online games..."
There is already conjecture that James Holmes may have been involved in
mind-altering neuroscience research and ended up becoming
involved at a depth he never anticipated. His actions clearly show a
strange detachment from reality, indicating he was not in his right
mind. That can only typically be accomplished through drugs, hypnosis or
trauma (and sometimes all three).
His behavior doesn't add up
His behavior already reveals stark inconsistencies that question the
mainstream explanation of events. For example, he opened fire on
innocent people but then calmly surrendered to police without
resistance. This is not consistent with the idea of "killing everyone."
Furthermore, he then admitted to police that his apartment was
booby-trapped with explosives. If you were really an evil-minded Joker
trying to kill people (including cops), why would you warn them about
the booby trap in advance? It doesn't add up.
"Holmes was taken into custody shortly after the shooting, police said,
adding he didn't resist when he was arrested," reports a local CBS news
affiliate (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/07/20/police-14-dead-in-colorado-the...).
"After his arrest, Holmes told police about 'possible explosives in his
residence,' Oates said. When police searched his apartment, they
discovered it was booby-trapped and evacuated surrounding buildings,
police said. Oates said bomb technicians are determining how to disarm
flammable or explosive material in the third-floor apartment. He said
police could be there some time."
None of this checks out. If you're a killer bent on causing mayhem, why
tell the police about your surprise bomb waiting for them back at your
apartment?
Holmes was clearly provided with exotic gear
Continuing from CBS:
"He said pictures from inside the apartment are fairly disturbing and
the devices look to be sophisticated, adding the booby-traps were
'something I've never seen.' One rifle, two handguns, a knife, a bullet
proof vest, a ballistic helmet, a gas device, a gas mask, military SWAT
clothing and unidentified explosives were also found in Holmes' car, a
law enforcement source told CBS News. Oates said Holmes wore a gas mask,
a ballistic helmet and vest as well as leg, groin and throat protectors
during the shooting."
In other words, this guy was equipped with exotic gear by someone
with connections to military equipment. SWAT clothing, explosives,
complex booby-traps... c'mon, this isn't a "lone gunman." This is
somebody who was selected for a mission, given equipment to carry it
out, then somehow brainwashed into getting it done.
"Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said Holmes' apartment is booby-trapped
with a 'sophisticated' maze of flammable devices. It could take hours or
days for authorities to disarm it," reports Yahoo News (http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/suspect-neuroscience-phd-stu...).
UPDATE: (This section added to the story Saturday at 2:30 pm
central, July 21, 2012). It is now being reported that exotic, advanced
booby-traps have been disarmed at the apartment of James Holmes. The
Denver affiliate of CBS News is now reporting: (http://denver.cbslocal.com/2012/07/21/officials-expect-explosions-as-...)
Officials say they have removed all major threats at the
booby-trapped apartment of the Aurora movie theater shooting suspect on
Saturday. They have used a robot to go inside James Holmes' apartment.
...They were able to disable a trip wire that was set to go off when the
apartment door was opened. "This is some serious stuff that our team is
dealing with..."
Shortly before noon crews were successful performing a controlled
detonation... More controlled detonations were possible.
...there were multiple trip wires throughout the apartment.
Investigators have also seen what appear to be mortars planted in the
apartment -- sort of the kind of mortars that might be seen in a
commercial fireworks show. Up to a half dozen of them are scattered
around.
...they have seen a number of inflated balloons in the apartment... with
many appearing to be filled with a powder. Also linked together are
bottles of liquid. ...a strong smell of gasoline emanating from the
apartment.
...several boxes on top of the refrigerator and there are lights
flashing on the boxes.
...30 aerial shells (fireworks) commercially legally available for
purchase. ...the suspect may have filled them with smokeless powder.
...entering the apartment would have caused a trip wire to trigger one
liquid container to pour/mix with another. When the two mix together,
they set off the main charge of the device which may be additional
flammable liquids.
...an enormously dangerous mission. About 100 personnel are on scene.
And the BBC is now reporting: (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18937726)
Technicians made a first attempt on Friday to disarm the traps,
believed to include explosives, but withdrew when it became clear the
property was too dangerous to enter. Sgt Carlson said the device was set
up to detonate when the first person entered the flat. "We've defeated
first threat. It was set up to kill, and that could have been police
officers or anything," she said.
FBI has a track record of staging similar assaults, then stopping
them at the last minute
This is not your run-of-the-mill crime of passion. It was a carefully
planned, heavily funded and technically advanced attack. Who
might be behind all this? The FBI, of course, which has a long history
of setting up and staging similar attacks, then stopping them right
before they happen. See four documented stories on these facts:
http://www.naturalnews.com/035849_domestic_terror_plots_FBI.html
http://www.naturalnews.com/034325_FBI_entrapment_terror_plots.html
http://www.naturalnews.com/033751_FBI_terrorism.html
http://www.naturalnews.com/035757_FBI_terror_plots_false_flag.html
As you soak all this in, remember that the FBI had admitted to
setting up terror plots, providing the weapons and gear, staging the
location of the bombings and even driving the vehicles to pull it off!
This is not a conspiracy theory, it's been admitted by the FBI right out
in the open. Even the New York Times openly reports all this in stories
like this one:
NYT: Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/terrorist-plots-help...)
THE United States has been narrowly saved from lethal terrorist plots
in recent years -- or so it has seemed. A would-be suicide bomber was
intercepted on his way to the Capitol; a scheme to bomb synagogues and
shoot Stinger missiles at military aircraft was developed by men in
Newburgh, N.Y.; and a fanciful idea to fly explosive-laden model planes
into the Pentagon and the Capitol was hatched in Massachusetts. But all
these dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and
informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4
explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. ...the
F.B.I. provided a van loaded with six 55-gallon drums of “inert
material,” harmless blasting caps, a detonator cord and a gallon of
diesel fuel to make the van smell flammable. An undercover F.B.I. agent
even did the driving...
Mystery man Holmes has no background
On top of all this, Holmes apparently has no background. "He's not on
anybody's radar screen -- nothing," said a peace officer in a NYT
article. "This guy is somewhat of an enigma. Nobody knows anything about
him." (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/21/us/colorado-mall-shooting.html)
Mr. Holmes's only criminal history is a traffic summons, the
authorities said. He earned a bachelor's degree with honors in
neuroscience in 2010 from the University of California, Riverside, and
was a graduate student in neurosciences at the University of Colorado at
Denver's Anschutz Medical Campus... He was currently collecting
unemployment...
Question: How does an unemployed medical student afford $20,000 in
weapons gear?
If you start to look at the really big picture here, the obvious
question arises: How does an unemployed medical student afford
all the complex weapons gear, bomb-making gear, "flammable" booby trap
devices, ammunition, multiple magazines, bullet-proof vest, groin
protection, ballistic helmet, SWAT uniform and all the rest of it?
A decent AR-15 rifle costs $1,000 or more all by itself. The shotgun and
handgun might run another $800 total. Spare mags, sights, slings, and so
on will run you at least another $1,000 across three firearms. The
bullet-proof vest is easily another $800, and the cost of the
bomb-making gear is anybody's guess. With all the specialty body gear,
ammunition, booby-trap devices and more, I'm guessing this is at least
$20,000 in weapons and tactical gear, much of which is very
difficult for civilians to get in the first place.
The mere manufacture of an explosive booby-trap device is, all by
itself, a felony crime by the way. And remember: "Aurora Police Chief
Dan Oates said Holmes' apartment is booby-trapped with a 'sophisticated'
maze of flammable devices. It could take hours or days for authorities
to disarm it," reported Yahoo News (http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/suspect-neuroscience-phd-stu...).
Question: Where does an unemployed, introverted medical school student
get the training to deploy sophisticated booby traps, tactical
body armor, weapons systems and more? Certainly not in graduate school!
All this leads to an obvious third party influence over all this.
Someone else taught this guy these skills and funded the acquisition of
the equipment.
Note: Some readers have questioned the $20,000 figure estimated here,
saying this gear could have been acquired for only $10,000 or so. I
doubt that, as all the extras that you need to effectively run these
guns cost a lot of money: training courses, spare magazines, etc. Just a
decent AR-15 battle sight (a holographic red dot sight) can run $1,000 -
$2,000. Search "ACOG" if you don't believe me. It is also reported that
Holmes bought 6,000 rounds of ammo, which definitely isn't cheap
either. It's clear this guy was spending big bucks. Whether it's $10k or
$20k isn't really that much of a point.
Staged just in time for a vote on the UN small arms treaty?
More and more, this shooting is looking like a deliberate plot
staged by the government itself much like Operation Fast and Furious
pulled off by the ATF (http://www.naturalnews.com/032934_ATF_illegal_firearms.html)
which helped smuggle tens of thousands of guns into Mexico for the
purpose of causing "gun violence" in the USA, then blaming the Second
Amendment for it.
All this looks like James Holmes completed a "mission" and then calmly
ended that mission by surrendering to police and admitting everything.
The mission, as we are now learning, was to cause as much terror and
mayhem as possible, then to have that multiplied by the national media
at exactly the right time leading up the UN vote next week on a global
small arms treaty that could result in gun confiscation across America.
(http://lewrockwell.com/eddlem/eddlem61.1.html)
Even Forbes.com wrote about this quite extensively, warning readers
about the coming gun confiscation effort related to the UN treaty. The
story was authored by Larry Bell (http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2011/06/07/u-n-agreement-should...)
and says the UN treaty could "override our national sovereignty, and in
the process, provide license for the federal government to assert
preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth
Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights."
In other words, this has all the signs of Fast & Furious, Episode II.
I wouldn't be surprised to discover someone in Washington was behind it
all. After all, there's no quicker way to disarm a nation and take total
control over the population than to stage violence, blame it on
firearms, then call for leaders to "do something!" Such calls inevitably
end up resulting in gun confiscation, and it's never too long after that
before government genocide really kicks in like we saw with
Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and other tyrants.
Governments routinely murder millions
Here's a short list of government mass murder carried out
throughout history, almost always immediately following the disarmament
of the public (and usually involving staged false flag events to justify
the disarmament):
50+ million dead: Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet
1949-50)
12+ million dead: Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1939-1945) - concentration
camps, civilian deaths and dead Russian POWs
8+ million dead: Leopold II of Belgium (Congo, 1886-1908)
6+ million dead: Jozef Stalin (USSR, 1932-39)
5+ million dead: Hideki Tojo (Japan, 1941-44)
2+ million dead: Ismail Enver (Turkey, 1915-22)
1.7 million dead: Pol Pot (Cambodia, 1975-79)
1.6 million dead: Kim Il Sung (North Korea, 1948-94)
1.5 million dead: Menghistu (Ethiopia, 1975-78)
1 million dead: Yakubu Gowon (Biafra, 1967-1970)
900,000 dead: Leonid Brezhnev (Afghanistan, 1979-1982)
800,000 dead: Jean Kambanda (Rwanda, 1994)

A "monopoly of force" in government is far more dangerous than a
crazed lone shooter
So yes, James Holmes and other crazed shooters kill a number of people
each year in random acts of violence. It's horrifying and wrong, but
it's nothing compared to the millions of lives that governments
tend to destroy when they gain total power over the populace.
The most dangerous thing in the world, it turns out, is not a crazy
person with a rifle; it's a government with a "monopoly of force" over
the entire population. And that's exactly what the UN spells out as its
goal for the world: Stripping all power from individual citizens and
handing "monopolies of force" to the governments of the world, shoring
up their positions as the only "legitimate" power on the planet.
See this document entitled, "Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of
Armed Forces (DCAF)" policy paper No. 24:
http://www.naturalnews.com/files/Revisiting-the-State-Monopoly-on-the...
As this document reveals, a table entitled "Governance solutions for
reasserting the state monopoly on the use of force" lists the options
available to governments to re-establish "monopolies of force" against
their own people:
• (Re-)establish state monopoly
- Ownership of WMDs
- Safety Inspectorates
• Prohibit business activity
- Justice and Execution
- Deadly Force?
• Regulate/limit activities
- Private defense/security services
- Control of financial transfers
- Export controls
- Transport and infrastructure safety
- Environmental impact
Interestingly, that document also describes "terrorism" in a way that
perfectly matches the Aurora, Colorado "Batman" movie theater shooter:
Terrorists aim to spread panic and fear in societies in order to
achieve political goals, be they based on left- or right-wing,
social-revolutionary, nationalistic or religious ideologies. They are
organized in a clandestine way, most often in small groups and cells...
Typical tactical means include kidnapping, hostage-taking, sabotage,
murder, suicide attacks, vehicle bombs and improvised explosive devices.
A global monopoly of force
This document is a goldmine of information about the globalist agenda to
disarm and enslave the population. Check out page 28, which reads:
The legitimate monopoly of force should not be limited to the
nation-state but should be based on the local, national, regional and
the global levels.
Global Security Governance and the Monopoly of Force
At the global level no monopoly of violence exists. The UN Security
Council already has a monopoly power to authorize the use of force at
the global level, although the UN was never given the necessary means to
exercise this authority, such as the capacity to implement sanctions, a
police force and armed forces...
This deficiency in global governance acts as a bottleneck and a barrier
to the creation of the democratically legitimized monopoly of
violence that is globally required.
This story gets deep, doesn't it? Watch for more analysis here at
NaturalNews.com, where we still fight for liberty and justice in a world
that's increasingly becoming enslaved.

not one fight back?

"WETWIRED" - 1995-'96, Season #3, Episode #23
In this episode, FBI Agents Mulder and Scully investigate a series of
seemingly random murders committed by ordinary citizens angered after
seeing illusory images subliminally implanted in their minds via nightly
violent newscasts through a specially attached device in their cable
boxes
by an unknown U.S. government agency. After the subliminal images have
been implanted, it causes normally law-abiding citizens to commit acts
of murder toward their immediate family, friends, neighbors and complete
strangers for NO good reason.

"3 OF A KIND" - 1998-'99, Season #6, Episode #20
In this episode, a diabolical plan is afoot to use a new BRAINWASHING
DRUG
for political assassinations. It involves a special technique for
gaining
special access to the pliable human mind where the subject believes
he/she
will learn about new assassination techniques employed by the government
using
a newly developed drug that effectively controls the subject's mind at
the
controller's behest and direction.

FLASH UPDATE, 7-22-2012: The horrific shooting at the screening of "The
DARK KNIGHT RISES" in Aurora, Colorado bears eerie similarities to a
scene
in the 1986 comic "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns." In the comic, a
crazed,
gun-toting loner walks into a MOVIE THEATER and begins shooting it up,
killing
three in the process. The passage concludes with the media blaming
Batman for
inspiring the shooting, though he is not involved in the incident at
all.
The point of this particular scene in the comic was to show just how far
Gotham has fallen since Batman had retired. Was the shooter imitating
this
scene from the comic? Maybe, although in the scene the shooter is
portrayed
as inspired by his disgust at pornography and heavy metal music. The
police’s
investigation will surely reveal more in the near future.
