AMERICA DISARMED…A CLOSET FULL OF SHOTGUNS AND A MIND FULL OF LIES….
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
Every couple of hours I get an email, one I track down to a Washington DC law firm tied to big pharma, the radiation lobby or Wall Street, telling me a story about Barak Obama and gun seizure. Snopes.com always rats them out, total lies. That doesn’t stop those who send them out, they don’t care.
I am a gun owner, learned to shoot, pistols, rifles, bow, long before I joined the Marine Corps in 1968. Unlike Mr’s Trump and Bush (Gingrich and Cheney and hundreds others like them), we Detroit kids knew how to dodge the draft. We joined the Marines. I don’t hunt, just a bit of target shooting and restoration work. Been a gun smith for decades and get tremendous pleasure out of restoring abused weapons. Guns have character. Gun owners, now there’s another breed entirely.
America is at war and I do my best to support President Obama. I have been waiting two years now for him to pull the troops out of Afghanistan like he promised. My patience is wearing a bit thin. Last week, you remember, the “bin Laden” thing, that was a bit much for me.
I think bin Laden has been dead for years. After a week of wives and children on TV, a phony diary showing up, videos of one phony bin Laden watching another phony bin Laden on television and the lies, one after another, I am simply ready to throw up my hands. This is too stupid to even deal with but at least Obama didn’t kill thousands of people like Bush did.
Oh, I wasn’t supposed to say that. I am a gun owner and gun owners believe what they see on TV. Not only that, I am a veteran to boot, you can wave a flag at me and kick me in the pants and I will salute and say “thank you.”
I just can’t figure Obama out. There is no evidence that he is anti-gun, not a single bit. That’s wild conspiracy theory, preying on the dimwits and dullards. “Everybody knows that!”
But now, everybody loves him. Problem is, that even if bin Laden hadn’t been dead for a decade, something we have so many confirmations that it may actually be true, Obama is now a proven liar.
I say that reluctantly.
As of today, the United States Department of Justice has never been able to establish any connection between Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks. This is the official position of the US government. “Bin Laden didn’t do it, we can’t prove it.” In fact, there is no proof that Osama bin Laden ever committed a crime of any kind. Charges tying him to bombings in Africa back in the 90s are based on conspiracy theory and wild conjecture. I am not saying that a military tribunal won’t convict someone without evidence. Just ask one of the 25 million Americans who have been convicted of crimes or the 2 plus million who are in prison.
Then look at all the people who belong in prison who go to work every day, free as birds. I am talking about our government of course.
So, if Obama lied when he said bin Laden was responsible for 9/11, and, according to public record, what President Obama said is a lie, then did he lie about the rest too? Does he even know?
I have the rare privilege of working with people who were in government during the Clinton and Bush administrations, FBI, CIA, State Department and military. Some, like the CIA’s Susan Lindauer, report that everyone in the government knew that the World Trade Center would be attacked with airliners. Susan actually saw to it that the president was informed. Look up her story online.
Be afraid.
She isn’t the only one, most in government knew of the 9/11 plans and a select few were privy to the fact that these weren’t terrorist attacks at all.
I have spoken with them too.
Back to gun owners. Why do gun owners only worry about keeping their guns? Worse than that, why are “many” gun owners such conspiracy nuts that they can be duped to sending cash to the NRA based on phony email alerts that are filled with fabrications?
My problem is that the folks who send out the alerts seem to be the same ones we have to worry about, in fact, they are the ones that make owning guns seem like something pretty smart to do. So, what we have ended up with is a nation of nutters armed to the teeth who had their country and their freedoms, not to speak of their homes, their jobs and their money, taken from them while they were looking the other way.
If it ever came down to American having to fight to keep their freedoms or defend the constitution or even protect the country from foreign invasion, our gun owners are very likely to be on the wrong side. All you have to do is send them emails telling them the North Koreans are here to help Wall Street hunt down the “liberal elites” and we get “Red Dawn in reverse.”
Well, I got one of those emails that I enjoy that I am going to pass on. This is a facebook page that I would like gun owners to take a moment or two with.
FACEBOOK/9/11 For Dummies
What I don’t want anymore is a gun owner or veteran or American patriot to be an embarrassment. It ain’t about guns. The most powerful weapon in the world is a well oiled mind.
If you don’t have one, go out and get one today!
