So, Who Do You Want? The "She-Wolf Of Wall Street" (Trevor Noah) Who Destabilized Two More Countries To Add To The Terrorist Havens The GOP Set Up In Iraq & Afghanistan OR A Third Option?


We know Bush destabilized Iraq increasing terrorism by 600% by 2007  (by creating conditions for terrorists to prosper) AND Bush/Cheney created the vacuum needed for ISIS to emerge in the first place. To their list of terrorist havens Obama & Hillary added Libya and Yemen. Now we have four destabilized countries where terrorists can prosper by finding recruits pissed at a VERY visible enemy with a VERY visible track record ... while being surrounded by poverty and death (making violence an obvious answer for many humans, i.e. it's human nature and not a brown-white thing as the media seems to portray it as).

Here I would like to point out a couple of things... in particular that even comedians (Trevor Noah) sees Hillary as a "Wolf of Wall Street", meaning she has no scruples on gaining power and sharing the taxpayers wealth and future wealth with her supporters (the big money givers. not the parrots pushing her talking points).

What Trevor Noah said;

HILLARY CLINTON AND DONALD TRUMP REACT TO THE ORLANDO SHOOTING - JUNE 14, 2016 - MICHELANGELO SIGNORILE AND EDDIE HUANG06/14/2016 Donald Trump implies that President Obama is a secret agent for ISIS, and Hillary Clinton pledges to use technology to fight the terrorist group if she's elected president. (8:43)



Highlights;





In a sense Trump is right. Obama pardoned Cheney for torture and what is a mass shooting but another form of torture. But we don't even have to go that far. Obama killed an American abroad cause he was spouting "terrorist rhetoric" & cause he was brown. Why do I say that? Well, we have a home grown terrorist organization in the GOP & Fox News and Obama has done nothing. Here are some of the proofs I have gathered together on this blog;

Comedy: Amar Akbar Anthony w/ English Subtitles (Classic Bollywood... the Indian version of Hollywood)

Movie abstract from IMDB: Three brothers are separated and united after many years - one is brought up a Hindu, another a Muslim and the last (and most memorable) a Christian. Hilarity and adventure ensues.

Movie -  Amar Akbar Anthony;



From YouTube: Amar Akbar Anthony is a 1977 Bollywood lost and found action comedy film about three brothers separated during their childhood who grew up in three homes, adopting three religions. They meet in their youth to fight a common villain. It was the biggest blockbuster of 1977, and won several awards at 25th Filmfare Awards including Best Actor, Best Music Director and Best Editing. The film was directed by Manmohan Desai and starred three actors: Amitabh Bachchan (as Anthony Gonsalves), Vinod Khanna (as Amar Khanna) and Rishi Kapoor (as Akbar Allahabadi). Each of the heroes had an affiliation with a heroine; these women were played by Parveen Babi, Shabana Azmi and Neetu Singh. Nirupa Roy, Pran and Jeevan played supporting roles. The music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Kishore Kumar sang for Amitabh Bachchan, and Mohammed Rafi sang for Rishi Kapoor. The soundtrack was one of Mukesh's last soundtracks with Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Anand Bakshi was the lyricist. This movie proved to be a golden jubilee at the box office.

The Democrats Latest Filibuster & Sit-In Comes In An Election Year. They Did Nothing For Years, Even After Sandy Hook. I Guess "Radical Islam" Can Motivate People To Act!

Background:

Comments On Daily Show's Skit Showing What's Up With GOP, NRA & Democrats On Gun Control Bills AND We Discover The NRA Is Using A Form Of Legalized Bribery & Threat-making To Block Background Checks To Keep Americans Un-Safe!

This post takes a deeper look with Jon Stewart at the hypocrisy of the pandering our politicians do in our age of legalized bribery when they gotta do something about their constituents, i.e. they "showboat". What they SHOULD do to redeem themselves is sit-in till they get universal background checks and an assault rifle ban, even if it takes them months and they have to camp out in Congress and the Senate;

SENATE DEMOCRATS FILIBUSTER FOR GUN CONTROL JUNE 16, 2016 Senate Democrats filibuster for 15 hours in a push for gun legislation that would require buyer background checks and ban suspected terrorists from obtaining firearms. (8:18)


OK. So now after all these years and all the deaths listed below, NOW, in an election year, the Democrats want to do something;



How common are mass shootings or shootings in general? ...

Lets take a look the top 4 mass shootings in US history;



Orlando, Florida - Pulse nightclub - At least 49 dead
June 12, 2016: A gunman armed with an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando in a rampage and hostage standoff that lasted three hours before he was killed in a gunfight with SWAT officers, police said. The gunman was identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen. The attack is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism.
Blacksburg, Virginia - Virginia Tech - 32 dead
April 16, 2007: Seung-Hui Cho, 23, killed 32 people in two shooting scenes at a dorm and then in a classroom building on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia. He then killed himself.
Newtown, Connecticut - Sandy Hook Elementary School - 27 dead
Dec. 14, 2012: Adam Lanza, 20, opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School, killing 20 children and six staff members before killing himself. His mother, Nancy Lanza, was also found shot to death at their home.
Killeen, Texas - Luby's Cafeteria - 23 dead
Oct. 16, 1991: Twenty-three people were killed and 20 more wounded when George Hennard opened fire at Luby's Cafeteria. He then killed himself.

In other words, the Orlando shooting was the largest mass shooting in US history by 17 people. The next highest shooting was 32 people in Virginia Tech. The next after that was 27 in Newtown. If you add the top two "NON-Terrorist" mass shootings you get 50 people that died unrelated to Muslims. Add the next one and you are suddenly at 73 people dead, by what appear to be Christian Terrorists (of just crazy white people as GOP & Fox like to see it)

If you add up all the people from the deadliest mass shootings in US history you get 76 people killed by "Radical Islam" and 164 people killed by "white people gone crazy" and 58 people killed by Asians (that's 222 people killed in mass shootings by non-Muslims making Fox News's emphasis on "Radical Islam" as the main threat we face today, a distraction AT BEST). If we leave out mass shootings and JUST look at people "going crazy" with guns (either intentionally or by treating guns with the same safety consciousness of handle water guns), we get an idea of just how common shootings are in America (making 'America is a culture of mass shootings' the ONLY logical assertion to make);
(screenshot from here)

NOTE: Not limiting the statistics to mass shootings, 125 people have died as a result of guns since Orlando, according to The Daily Beast.

Just look at how MANY shootings have occurred JUST in 2016!

In a backlash to the AIG bailout, Congress opens a can of dumbass and looks for someone to blame (they only ask for names!)



A video outlining how taxpayer money was used to make banks bigger (richer);




A Bloomberg report reveals that the U.S. government loaned banks $7.7 trillion in secret bailout funds at no interest and then borrowed the money back at interest. 

Note: 'Basically the banks were being lent money at no interest (by the government) and then the government was borrowing it back and giving interest!' What a sweet deal!... Why is the US so low on the corruption charts? Who makes these charts? [A Bloomberg report [ http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-28/secret-fed-loans-undisclosed-to-congress-gave-banks-13-billion-in-income.html] reveals that the U.S. government loaned banks $7.7 trillion in secret bailout funds at no interest and then borrowed the money back at interest!!!!

Could it have something to do with this? =

A glimpse into what's going on, on guns (key point is NRA is using legalized bribery to stop background checks on guns because of of being against "regulation" like the Koch Brothers BUT the NRA wants to regulate guns in bars... clear scam being pulled here as I'm sure American's will go through the inconvenience of calling a background check service before selling a gun to EVEN a family member to stop innocent people from dying. It's no big deal);

Daily Show: LET'S DO ANYTHING: THE CONGRESSIONAL GAME OF BLOCKING GUN CONTROL - JUNE 21, 2016 - Roy Wood Jr. and Jordan Klepper go head to head as congressional Democrats and Republicans to see which party can actually pass gun control legislation. (8:45)

Highlights;




Didn't mention if there was due process to get you off a list or if you would be notified if you were on a list. So I have no opinion on this one. Also, I've been thinking that the Government shouldn't be keeping secret lists anyways. Lets make these secret lists public (isn't that a major concern of the GOP?)









It sounds like a reasonable argument. Of course, they gave the NSA unaccountable, power in deciding who the NSA can tap legally (showing more GOP hypocrisy, which is not a new thing though there is so much evidence of it now that it becomes criminal NOT to act)... though I think they just record everything unconstitutionally;

"We had an FBI consultant on the picture and he told me that 1 in 5 phone calls that we make are recorded and logged and I laughed at him and then he played back a phone call I had had two years prior to joining the picture." Shia LaBeouf







This is weird. Why should we have secret lists in the first place? Lack of transparency is what creates abuse of power situations anyways. Why not have public lists. That way EVERYONE will know who the suspects are and the media will pounce on them... then the people under investigation will know they are under investigation and will have a chance to clear thier name OR the outcry will weed out a potential terrorist. Public lists is a win win situation for everyone!


Trevor Noah seems to working off a survey of Americans where they want something, anything done. While the skit demonstrates how and why Dems and GOP are getting nothing done;




This is the most sensible measure that should have been there from the beginning (apparently the GOP doesn't want to inconvenience anyone to register their guns... then all they have to do to sell their firearm is call an office and tell who they are selling it to and if they get an "OK" they can sell it. A small inconvenience to gun owners who don't want innocent people to die in mass shootings);



The reason most people will support a measure like this is because it's common sense.


Here we discover that the NRA is using threats of removing a person from public office if they support background checks! And this is from Wayne LaPierre, the guy who doesn't want drunk people in a bar to have guns (or is it just gay people in a bar that he doesn't want to have guns?). In any case, Wayne wants to regulate guns from drunks ONLY IN A BAR and not at home. A background check would be even less offensive as it happens out of public view;













After a call from the NRA the GOP politician changes position on a common sense bill showing how much they truly care about the American people (illustrated here);




I think Wayne is probably working with GOP behind the scenes on this logic, Not only because he is helping Fox with thier scapegoating of Muslims to hide thier crimes behind fear BUT also because he seems to have opposed guns in bars JUST to oppose Trump which means that NONE of his values are set in stone and he probably does stuff to purposely cause trouble and harm the people of America (I sense a Koch Brother presence here).

How is Wayne going to stop people in bars from having guns except through some sort of check? Like a background check to make sure criminals (such as the GOP's white supremacist supporters who seem to spend alot of time in jail) can't get guns. IN the same way that Wayne wants people not to carry guns into bars, other people would like people to call someplace and do a quick background check before selling a gun TO EVEN A FAMILY MEMBER. I don't understand why this is such a big deal. One phone call can save lives.

If this CAN apply to gun shows as well would this not work as a system of background checks for everyone?...


I'm confused. Why provide money for background checks if those background checks aren't universal? This isn't a bill it's a decoy so they can say to the people "we tried" when they clearly are bought and thus are NOT trying. Incentives to share health records seems to be a good idea though.

2. On the other hand, if the first point gives universal background checks at the touch of a button (a phone call), then is this not a good idea? Are you saying Democrats blocked this bill purely for political reasons?


Democrats get this and are right on this point (though they didn't think of sitting in or flibustering on guns for years, even after Sandy Hook, TILL an election year. So they don't have much credibility yet. They would have to make thier filibuster and sit in permanent until results are seen. Of course, they would have to go after Wayne and the Koch Brothers and they don't go after rich people who could possibly donate to them);
