Is Overmedication The Culprit Behind America's Mass-Killing Spree?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Friday, we profiled Chris Harper-Mercer, the 26-year old posthumously accused of murdering nine people at an Oregon community college last week. 

The episode was the latest in a string of mass shootings in the US, all of which raise serious questions about whether the social fabric in America is beginning to rip apart at the seams. 

As was the case with every similar scenario that’s unfolded on American soil over the past decade, what happened at Umpqua Community College has intensified the debate regarding how these types of events can be avoided. As the Washington Post notes, the US has seen more "mass" shootings than it has days in 2015:

There have been only 274 days this year. The shootings are captured in this calendar, drawn from the the Mass Shooting Tracker. The tracker draws some criticism because its definition is broader than the FBI's definition, which requires three or more people to be killed by gunfire. But the broader definition is nonetheless a useful one, because it captures many high-profile instances of violence — like the Lafayette theater shootings — that don't meet the FBI's criteria.

 


Democrats are quick to pounce on the gun control narrative, which of course leads directly to what they don’t want to see. Case in point (via FT): 

Business has been brisk for Larry Hyatt, owner of Hyatt Guns in North Carolina, since the Oregon community college shooting last week that left 10 people dead, including the 26-year-old suspect.

 

Mr Hyatt saw an even bigger surge in customers after the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that left 26 people dead, including 20 children, before the gunman killed himself.

 

After that incident, President Barack Obama made his first major push for stricter gun laws. In the wake of the Oregon shooting, Mr Obama on Friday again urged Americans to challenge the powerful gun lobby, saying he could not do it alone.

 

However, the calls for tighter gun laws lead to an increase in weapons sales. “Once the public hears the president on the news say we need more gun controls, it tends to drive sales,” said Mr Hyatt, who owns one of the largest gun retailers in the US. “People think, if I don’t get a gun now, it might be difficult to get one in the future. The store is crowded.”

Then there are those who frame the shootings as a mental health problem and frankly, they're probably right. At the risk of coming across as overly crass, all kinds of people have guns in the US and they aren't killing people in classrooms, which certainly seems to suggest that it is a combination of media-assissted suggestion (i.e. the copy cat effect) and mental illness of one kind or another that is the proximate cause here. The caveat is that there are obviously a variety of aggravating factors at play, including perceptions of social injustice, alienation, racial tensions, etc., but at the end of the day, it's probably safe to say that many of these shooters are suffering from something far more serious than poverty and racial intolerance.

It's with that in mind that we present the following excerpts from The New York Times, which has endeavored to take a closer look at Harper-Mercer's mother and the circumstances surrounding last week's tragedy:

When a downstairs neighbor of Laurel Harper learned there was a gunman on the loose at Umpqua Community College here, he ran up to tell her, knowing that her son, Christopher Harper-Mercer, was a student there. Like other parents, Ms. Harper started to set out in a desperate search, fearing her son could be hurt.

 

“She was very upset,” said the neighbor, who asked not to be named, citing his family’s privacy.

 

But as she was leaving, the sheriff and his deputies intercepted her and broke the news that her son was the gunman.

 

Ms. Harper, who divorced her husband a decade ago, appears to have been by far the most significant figure in her son’s troubled life; neighbors say he rarely left their apartment. Unlike his father, who said on television that he had no idea Mr. Harper-Mercer cared so deeply about guns, his mother was well aware of his fascination. In fact, she shared it: In a series of online postings over a decade, Ms. Harper, a nurse, said she kept numerous firearms in her home and expressed pride in her knowledge about them, as well as in her son’s expertise on the subject.

 

She also opened up about her difficulties raising a son who used to bang his head against the wall, and said that both she and her son struggled with Asperger’s syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. She tried to counsel others whose children faced similar problems. All the while, she expressed hope that her son could lead a successful life in finance or as a filmmaker.

 

In an online forum, answering a question about state gun laws several years ago, Ms. Harper took a jab at “lame states” that impose limits on keeping loaded firearms in the home, and noted that she had AR-15 and AK-47 semiautomatic rifles, along with a Glock handgun. She also indicated that her son, who lived with her, was well versed in guns, citing him as her source of information on gun laws, saying he “has much knowledge in this field.”

 

“I keep two full mags in my Glock case. And the ARs & AKs all have loaded mags,” Ms. Harper wrote. “No one will be ‘dropping’ by my house uninvited without acknowledgement.”

 

In addition to talking about guns, Ms. Harper, 64, was a prolific commenter in online forums dealing with medical issues, frequently answering questions from strangers with a tone of empathy and concern. She expressed having expertise in autism, saying that both she and her son — whom she never identified by name — had Asperger’s syndrome.

 

Consoling another parent seeking help with disruptive behavior by an autistic child, Ms. Harper said that her own son “was, among other things, a head-banger” when he was younger and was initially given a misdiagnosis of attention deficit disorder. But over time, he had learned to cope and was doing better, she wrote: “I was in your shoes and now my son’s in college.”

 

She expressed frustration with people who questioned how successful a person with autism could be, noting: “I have Asperger’s and I didn’t do so bad. Wasn’t easy (understatement) but it can be done.” She also said she had “dealt with it on a daily basis for years and years” because of her son, who she said was progressing well.

 

“He’s no babbling idiot nor is his life worthless,” Ms. Harper wrote. “He’s very intelligent and is working on a career in filmmaking. My 18 years worth of experience with and knowledge about Asperger’s syndrome is paying off.”

Out of a respect for decency we won't comment on the last bolded passage there, but after reading all of the above one is left with serious questions about mental illness and cause and effect. That is, are these episodes simply the result of someone being "off their meds" (to use the crude cliche) or is it in fact the opposite? That is, is this a feedback loop wherein sick people get sicker as their brain chemistry is constantly altered by increasing the dosage of drugs that doctors don't fully understand? 

Those questions aren't easily answered, and while we absolutely are not attempting to detract from the scope of the tragedy here, it's worth noting that people are dying every day all over the world in suicide attacks that, false flag or no false flag, appear even more senseless than what happened in Oregon last week. That, in turn, raises questions about society in general, as one is left to ask whether, despite the development of touch screen phones and futuristic SUVs, we might not have come very far as a people after all...

"Over-Medication"?

Fuck, just plain old "Medication" is often a problem. I was once prescribed a pain killer and a muscle relaxer to be taken at the same time...that shit really fucked with my mind...happy/depressed...energized/lethargic...vomiting/diarrhea...that was the final straw...threw it away and toughed out the injury pain.

There's a drug on TV now where the "Most Common Side Effect" is "Activities While Sleeping"! WTF!

EATING and/or DRIVING while SLEEPING has been reported by those taking this fucked up drug.

I love that depression drug where a common side effect is thoughts of suicide, and if you feel like killing yourself, call your doctor...just hope it aint' 3AM...the Doc is out...or if the Doc is in, that after hours call will cost you so much you'll kill yourself just over that...

Maybe not.

Me thinks it moar like somebody who's only sense of personal power was from having guns.

Wonder who he could have learned that from??

And which is prolly why such incidents don't happen where other people can and do have guns.

Because there's no clear advantage of power over other armed people.

That's why "An armed society is a polite society"

Overmedicated is one thing, but it seems that the major reason for aggression is a clear lack of pussy.

Gun control?  Fuck that.  What we really need is for every man to receive a bi-weekly hooker allowance/hooker stamps which will no doubt reduce gun related deaths and mass shootings a minimum of 300%.  It could be attached to a airmiles or points based system that can go towards free gifts and other incentives.

Now THAT's government assistance I could get behind.  Keeping men sexually satisifed is the key to making America great again.

Not having a father in the home I am sure didn't help.  Have no idea what the circumstances were but the fact is that boys need Men in their lives to become Men, women can't do that job.  You wind up with boys in Men's bodies that lack a sense of Honor and discipline that come only from other Men.  Sorry Femma-Nazi's you cannot do that job, you are just different.

I wish someone would ask OBoma this question:

"What law would have stopped this trajedy?".

Tougher guns laws...give me a fucken break...the only law that would stop this is the criminalization of the ownership of a firearm...absolutely no guns for anyone..and if you want to see how "effective" that law would be at stopping gun violence, take a look at the "War on Drugs".

 

It is a MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE FIRST and a "gun problem" maybe 10th or so on down the list; I'm sure there are steps we can take to make it a little tougher for the crazy to buy guns..but we'll never totally elimate it...

The mental illness angle has been touted by the Chosenites since the Arizona shooting (both the shooter and congresswoman are Chosenites). They, no doubt, got the idea from Columbine. Then they upped the ante with Sandy Hoax. It's backdoor gun grabbing, since they can't get it outright like Great Britain did after Dunblane(1996).

I'm with you.

Had surgery to remove skin and lymph nodes for melanoma in '03, and fortunately I was cancer-free in the nodes. At any rate, they gave me Percoset at the hospital to take home with me.

I took one of those horse pills before bed, and I shit you not I woke up halluscinating and part-manic. 

Ended up not taking any more of those fucking things, and dealt with the pain for two weeks before the gauze and stitches were taken out.

I was more fortunate than you (and congrats on being cancer free).  I had abdominal surgry in 2010 and they gave me a pain med that I don't want to remember.  I took one when I got home and was puking what was left of my guts out which, when you have staples in you and have to wear an ostomy bag, is no fun at all.  It was a part of the reason I ended up back in the hospital twice, once with dehydration and an intestinal blockage, and a week or so later with pneumonia.  I've had surgery four times in my life and this was the only one where I was stupid enough to use the pain meds.  On the other three, I refused them and the doctors actually accused me lying about the level of pain I was in and tried to insist that I use the pain meds.  I told them that with my history of stomach issues, the pain was no worse than some of the attacks I had in the past, and I got through all of them without meds.

Nasty shit.

Sad events, indeed. Pray for families who lost loved ones. 

Then, ponder the following. The sameness of all of these " events ", and the sameness of the political and media gun control narrative afterwards.

Yes, nine lives gone at a school that discouraged concealed carry with immediate expulsion is a tragedy.

But, so is 55 lives ended in Chicago in a single weekend, if not more so.

Chicago, Illinois, is the home of some of the most restrictive gun control state laws in the entire country.

55 people die, an d nothing but fucking crickets from the politicos and the media, relatively speaking.

Why ? Maybe it proves gun controls don't work, and fucks up the gun control PR agenda.

Maybe, it is because it is Oblammie's home state.

Maybe it is because his old bum buddie Rahm Emmanuel runs Chicago.

Maybe it is because the narrative, and the push for gun control are part of total control, and have nothing to do with all of the hand wringing bullshit being pushed into teevee heads nationwide.

All I know is a gun free zone is a killing zone for some sick fuck to take advantage of, and destroy lives with impunity.

Fuck that noise - make open and concealed carry mandatory everywhere.

I guarantee you that criminals would have a bad day if all citizens were armed.

It wouldn't take too many dead criminals to make for a more polite and civilized society real fast.

If someone had been armed at Umpqua Community College, maybe there would be one or two victims tops, and a dead shit head instead of the outcome we are all looking at.

I've got my own theory. Legalize and de-stigmatize prostitution. In fact, make it a celebrated facet of religious culture, just like the ancients did. Guys like this, guys whose sense of self-esteem is so leaky and broken that they identify themselves as beta males - well, they do what our culture teaches them to do when they've been emasculated by females, which is turn to violence. If this guy was able to pay a visit to the temple of Aphrodite once a week I'll bet this never would have happened. But that would take a radical re-think of our culture, religion, and legislative habits, and Americans would much rather have a mass murder than a hard think.

The government can fix the SSRI & Gun problem overnight, literally. They don;t even need any legislation, as the FDA already have the authority I am sure simply stop perscribing SSRI's to the problem group, without further studies or some other good reason.  

They just don't want to. These shootings benefit the goverment too much, get people calling for more regultions and control, get politicans on TV, make it look like they are concerned and "doing something" and all this is EXACTLY what the government wants.

Because the mass shooting align so well with the US government agenda to steal the right of people to protect themselves from the government, one might jump to the conclusion that the US government creates these situations for their own benefit.

Strange details typically emerge afterwards that do not fit the US government narrative and details tend to be changed over time to better fit the US government agenda.

In this particular case, it was odd that people did not hear the gunfire that was supposed to happen, that the ambulances did not show up right away, that no one saw any dead or injured people, including the supposed hero who took 7 bullets and 2 broken legs with no apparent sign of injury.

Just another Sandy Hook and Boston bombing fake, with actors and no killing? Maybe. They may have killed the patsy ... or maybe he never existed.

Is overmedication (especially SSRIs) the culprit in these mass shootings, of course. But what I don't hear is the fact that gun free zones are equally to blame. A mentaly sick person knows that there will be no one to stop them. More gun laws will do nothing to stop this kind of violence. There needs to be an elimination of gun free zones at schools, movie theaters, etc. Why we should not allow a good person, who is charged with teaching our children, the ability to defend themselves and their students, is beyond me.

If by "case" she means Gun-Case, then they would have a difficult time "acknowledging" their univited guests.  Rush to the gun case and thry to find the keys or remember the combo.  Would be helpful if the thieves called up ahead of time and scheduled the break-in but that rarely happens.

People need to quit trying to act like the human species is different than it is. It's been violent ever since its existence and is just another form of animal which are mostly aggressive. Just because one may not be like that doesn't mean everyone is going to be like that and people need to grasp this simple fact and quit trying to wonder why some will go and kill others. Some people are just wired differently.

Also, there are what, 7.3 billion people in the world so it is pretty lame to try and take incidents where a few people get shot as being the end of the world. Amazing how every single day people are dying all oevr the world because of human bullshit (starvation, abuse, etc) and nobody really cares but someone gets pissed off with society to the point of snapping and goes and shoots up a place and it's the biggest and most tragic thing ever.

The common thread in the shootings is ADHD/Autism. Brain damage.

Here's mine - if even 10 percent of the school population had been able to carry arms without consequence, dirtbag would have been dead, and there might have been one or two shooting victims - not 9 dead and 20 or so injured.

55,000 or so die in car accidents every year - who is advocating car control ?

At least 150,000 - 200,000 die from " medical complications " every year - where are the people advocating doctor control ?

So you are saying the near 100% correlation between these kids who shoot-up schools and the fact they are on Government sanctioned and doctor mandated hardcore behavior modifying narcotics may in fact be causation? 

 

It comes full circle if you really think about it.

 

Government had their hands all over the regulation and certification of doctors, on all the drug approvals uses and prescription requirements, FDA/gov collusion has lead to incredibly dangerous substances being routinely prescribed to very young children; its all legit,.  While simultaneously they restrict schools ability to arm staff or that of students to arm themselves if they so choose and you only come to really one logical conclusion in my mind.  This is entirely the fault of US government meddling in the private affairs and public lives of individuals.  Either they are aware of all this and simply don't give a fuck or are intentionally going for this outcome for profit I don't know.  Its possible they are all completely incompetent but I give them more credit than that.  I think its greed and self preservation of TPTB.

Well what you could logically do is 

1) Chart a map showing the medication rate per individual as a percentage of population per city or state over a given period

2) Chart the crime rate including murders, mass shootings, etc on the same time line.

If medication rate increasing correlates with mass shootings well.. you know that mass shootings somehow correlate with over-medication of a given population.

 

In general one would expect* that as a population becomes more medicated and introduced to more mind altering drugs used to treat things like depression, anxiety, etc.... that you should naturally have a higher tendency for bad reactions (people go bat shit crazy ape shit and shoot everyone in a three block radius) because of lowered inhibitions and chemical imbalances in the brain.

Naturally the seed in the individual was always there, you cant cure a mental case with a magic pill, but you can most certainly set one off.... for most of these mass shooters and murderes I would generally assume that the pills / medications they were prescribed pushed them over the edge by lowering their inhibitions.

 

IE: Give the president enough prozac and he will press the red button without even giving it a 2nd thought.

 

What really causes these mass shootings is the culture and the inability of certain individuals to adapt or cope to such a .... domesticated life-style.

----------------

On that note im going to get a little philosophical so skip the rest if you dont like philosophy.

The real problem is not the prevalence of medication, but the cause of everyones pain.

There is no real pain (as in physical pain being endured) it is all a mental pain or conflict, humans struggle to embrace their own existence, humanity over years has attempted to cope by creating various "solutions"

-Religion

-Drugs

-Entertainment

-Leisure activities

-Hobbies

-Exploration

-Wild uncontrollable sex

Most of these activities cater to our animal impulses (because when the body feels good, the mind is distracted), think for a moment if you were sperated from your body, what would you be? you would no longer be the sum of the experiences your body has, you would no longer be happy or sad or angry , you would simply be "information" a floating ball of facts zeros or ones, but you having lived a human life would know the "experience" of love, laughter, joy anger, the state of being only soul is empty without the experiences of our lives you would have a sense of emptiness without those experiences.

The same thing that drives us mad (a sense of overwhelming emptiness and lack of meaning in our own existence) is the same thing that drives us to achieve and live (through our suffering we derive activities to alleviate our suffering or provide ourselves with fleeting moments that distract us from the simple fact that we do not know what we are , why we exist, who created us, and what purpose we have in life!

The real reason people go mad is Existential Depression, they can not come to terms with their own existence, so they in turn have to destroy whatever or whomever seems to exist.

(they need reality to reflect what they feel inside, a lack of existence)

Some people are strong and live a normal life (or what the consensus deems normal) they go to school, develop a career or find a job, seek a mate , produce a family and find enough meaning in those activities to keep themselves from going insane (again sanity is a consensus but that's beyond the point).

 

Let us look for a moment at this recent shooters targeting of Christians.

Why did he target Christians? I would postulate that he resented the meaning these individuals found in god, he hated the fact that they could find comfort and support in what he probably thought of as some imaginary entity (God wasn't enough for him, it wasn't a good enough excuse to live and enjoy life) so he felt the need to "correct" or outwardly manifest his reality by ridiculing the Christians "Do you believe in Jesus? Yes? GOOD YOU WILL SEE HIM IN A FEW SEC" this clearly shows that he was mocking them, he felt or believed that the notion that these people would die and go see god was idiotic so he felt the need to prove it to them by killing them (again destroying or ripping apart others existence because he wants everyone to reflect what he feels).

Our biggest monsters are always our own reflections.

If you take what makes you feel bad, what you hate about your life or yourself and you outwardly manifest that, you are directly creating a monster.

The worst thing you can do for your mental health is probably question your own existence and reinforce your disbelief in your existence with a negative attitude or a negative self-worth.

That is what these crazy shooters are doing, and they are doing it probably while heavily medicated.... which can not possibly end well for anyone.

 

You could analyze this in a societal level because really if you break it down the entire society/civilization , collective consciousness of humanity realizes these flaws in our own existence consciously or subconsciously, but we all agree to keep up the illusions of our day to day lives because we have the collective intelligence to realize that ignorance is bliss and its a lot healthier for us.

The USA is world-champion of highly suspicious meds-gobbling. And of divorce, and of loneliness, and of depression and of eating disorders. Not to forget the dope: the USA also leads the world in terms of heroin consumption.

One level above the drugs is mental illnesses.

In my state, Michigan, Republicans cut out funding for mental wellness decades ago.    So now the freaks run loose or get stacked in for profit prisons.

But hey, the Pink Slime investments have done well for us.  So it’s all g00d.

"That is, is this a feedback loop wherein sick people get sicker as their brain chemistry is constantly altered by increasing the dosage of drugs that doctors don't fully understand?"

^THIS^

Most 'doctors' are just glorified drug dealers.

The word doctor is from the latin 'docere' which means 'to teach'.

The only things western docs teach is how to fill a prescription.

No, he just couldn't get laid. They don't make a medication for that kind of angst (or if they do, who owns it and what is their ticker?).

Worth pointing out that societal values and how it affects social connection plays a role:

I just read this recently, but could only thing I could find in a quick search was the hufpo printing (my sincerest apologies.)

"So the opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It is human connection."

To answer the question, ummm no, the 'media' is behind the mass killing spree hoaxes.

These are not real shootings.  All are hoaxes with very bad crisis actors playing friends, family and witnesses.  Even discussing the mental health aspect of this means we are caught in their web of lies.  CNN, FOX, et all cannot be trusted to deliver the truth.  Take Vicki for example...do you really believe her, that she was shot point blank in the back just two weeks prior to this interview?  Does she sound convincing, or is Greta feeding her the script?

If you look at these guys, the first thing you see is that these are creepy little cowards; the sorts of guys who used to live with their moms their whole lives and be fed and protected by mom until mom died.  My dad explained to me that in the old days (the 1950s), if such guys emerged from their homes and started acting weird, other males would beat them up (and they'd rush back to their mothers).  How is it that these sorts of guys are now gunning people down?  They could always have gotten guns, and they were always cowardly freaks with murderous fantasies.

Well, prozac has been called "the housewive's drug." It allowed women to get over their inhibitions and leave their homes and go out and function in the world.  That's what's happening with these guys.  Other males are no longer allowed to beat them up, and now they are medicated so that they have the "ummph" to go out and act.

So now the definition of "mass" is three or more?!? Give me a fucking break! Sorry and in do disrespect to the dearly departed but considering the 3-4 as a mass is bullshit! Tyler you're not doing us any favors with continuing the propoganda in the headline. You're a smart guy, change it next time.

The media is not going to tell us all about these school shooters being doped up on prescription drugs just like they tried to hide the religious nature of the killings To show how the mainstream  media lies look for ORIGINAL pictures of this current shooter--he is half black and half white and in real life appeared darker that the touched up photos which bleached him out and described a so called facination with the Irish Army. For those old enough to remember Columbine, those kids were doped too.

Here's a clip from FOX O'Reilly Show about POTUS showing up on Friday -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-fS9SBLTGk

Media is still driving around town harassing the citizens trying to keep the circus going.  At Fred Meyer this AM, the management kicked some Cali channel 6 out of the parking lot. 

There is no way Roseburg wants to be OB's Poster City for his gun agenda!  This was a deranged medicated spoiled child via his mother enabling his fantasies...if there were no guns, it would have been a bomb, machete, acid, car bomb anything for this sicko to get his fame.

hey   is this related to promoting gunshootings on tv?

whats about games like gta? whats about cinema? whats about the image of nigger-thugs taking and selling drugs on mtv and in cinema?

whats about selling the "thug nigger image" to children as young as 14 years? whats about the aggression the cia is promoting on media?

whats about trying to fix problems with medicaton? medication cant fill he hole for something that was taken from you by your government

what about the idea of your future of becoming a waitress or burger flipper with college degree?

 

can anyone remember the hiphop trend?  when i was younger they tried to implement the idea of becoming a white thug. many in my school were listening to eminem and later 50cent    girls and boys   later on they came up with regional thug stars

this music promoted:

-beating a woman                                = good

-selling drugs                                      = good

-taking drugs                                      = cool

-being a person without money and job  = cool

-having sex with sluts                           = cool

-robbing and stealing from others         = good

-beat other people                              = good

-drive by shooting                               = cool

-stabbing someone from behind           = good

-jail                                                   = cool

etc

 

this music in first place was targeting middle class white boys

no one of 12-14 years old cared nor understood eminems producer was a jew called paul rosenberg

non of the teenage population actually understands that universal music and mtv is owned by american-jew and is directed by cia

 

whats about games like gta - highly promoted by cia

(gta4 was about a serbian being betrayed by a russian  - brainwash)

 

stupid jews abusing the cluelessness of young children to brainwash them and let them fail in future

the shooting occurring now are the indirect resul of jews

 

its not the problem of mental illness -mental illness existed before

its not the fault of guns                   -guns existed before

ITS YOUR FAULT YOU STUPID JEWS  -your new brainwash program did not existed before

lets implemet jew-control instead of gun-control

-restrict jews of having more money than 100.000$

-restrict jews of owning cooperations

-restrict jews of becoming chairman and take key positions

-restrict jews of appearing in media or participatingin any kind of media

-restrict jews of politics

-restrict jews of joining cia and nsa

-forbid any kind of jew-organizations like apac, etc

 

i guarantee you - after 10 years there will be no more than 2 mass-shootings a year

Khazar Mintz a "hero" shot "seven times?"

Note the lack of pallor, in fact good color of his skin, and no visible blood on his clothes or skin. Seven rounds?

Umpqua, like Roanoke, Sandy Hook, Boston, and Charleston, is but another, patently obvious, hoax, performed by the same satanic faction found guilty of President Kennedy's assassination (viz. 'Hunt v. Marchetti') which runs the unconstitutional, imminently collapsing FedScam JFK ended, known to have committed the Holodomor and staged the Holohoax to cover it up; and did Waco, OKC, and 9/11. 

America's named Sovereign is God Almighty, the Author of Truth and Justice. Closet-queens like Obama and Rove have no truth in them. They are satanic and seek to disarm and enslave the People just as their identical Christ-killer/papist king/pope/banker/assassin faction ran "the Wall Street of slavery" for over 2,000 years before those inspired of God escaped to receive True Israel, America, in covenant.

Check out the shared satanic hand signs.

Our world has become so large that young people with emotional deficits can't cope. News travels at the speed of light and fame comes with it. How can we expect our kids to have societal maturity when they are conversing with peers 24 hours a day. In past generations, we learned from our elders because they stayed there and did their jobs to raise us even if they didn't want to be there. Our kids are learning that if they don't have Oprah money, Kanye and Kardashian lifestyles and some special cause, that they are not worthy of any attention.

The real truth is that any attempt to change gun laws will have no effect. Gun confiscation efforts will result in the scariest and bloodiest war this country has ever seen. Drugs to fill in holes created by family gaps will just fan the flame.
