How Many More Must Die?

What happened in Newtown, Connecticut is not just a local tragedy, it is a national tragedy. It is a national horror perpetrated by a monster exacerbated by a culture and media that glorifies hate, violence, destruction and death.

The thing we should not be discussing, because it is not relevant, but which we will discuss, because people think it is the focus of this tragedy – is guns.

This terror was committed by an individual who used a gun as a tool. The gun was not the weapon, the person was. And behind him stand still others, using him for their own purposes; to steer national debate and the subsequent opinion in the direction they choose. They think to raise the relative threat which remains the greatest obstacle between liberty and tyranny, between what they want, but do not yet have. But as George W. once – erroneously – stated, “Let us not discuss or entertain conspiracy theories.” Indeed not. Instead let us focus on the level we can understand, a level that we all can comprehend, at a distance we can grasp, with voices that can be heard. Let us talk about guns.

There will be those who ask how could God allow this, why did God permit 20 innocent children to die, how could God permit this to happen? But we have separated ourselves from God. We have turned our back on God and filled our society with games and TV shows filled with hate, violence and death. We have taken God out of our schools and out of our politics and then we wonder what has gone wrong with the way we live, what is wrong with our government? And we wonder why our society is a reflection of what we have intentionally created.

We condemn this senseless act of unspeakable horror and we grieve for the families who have lost a part of themselves. Their hearts are torn and broken; the healing – at best – will be long in coming. We condemn this unmitigated act of violence against innocent children, as well we should, but then we go back to our Wii or Playstation or Xbox and play another game of Saw, Black Ops, Modern Warfare or God of War.

Overseas, U.S. drones target individuals while collateral damage – the deaths of women and children – can number in the dozens. George W.’s mercenaries customarily tortured and executed prisoners and drove down Baghdad streets spraying bullets in every direction and then laughed if someone died as a result of their hail of gunpowder and lead.

In Newtown, Connecticut the weapon was not a gun, the weapon was you.

We all share blame – for allowing the evening news to air violent crime, shootings and murders on a daily basis.

We all share blame – when game designers create games in which the winner is the one who has scored the most kills.

We all share blame – when TV shows and reality shows depict assault, violence and crime.

We all share blame.

A gun is not the weapon, we are, you and I, and our culture of Godlessness, indifference and hate; our culture of drugs, disrespect, war and violence and the loss of dignity of ourselves, of our family, our neighbor and our nation.

We all share blame because we collectively have turned our backs on God - and the culture we have become, the culture we see around us everyday – is the result. A nation that was founded on the Judaeo-Christian tradition is now the world purveyor in disseminating violence, hatred and war.

We say that if only we could limit access to guns, restrict gun ownership or ban guns that this tragedy in Newtown would never have occurred or that it will never happen again. But there are no guns in prison, and people die. There are no guns in China but in Tiananmen Square 7,000 innocent college students were killed. There were no guns in Cambodia and 2 million people died. There are no guns in Scandinavia and people die. Why is it that Switzerland, a nation with an assault rifle in nearly every home, has a crime rate so much lower than the U.S.A? Is it because that in Switzerland there is a different culture or that those who would commit crime know that if they were to barge into a school with a gun, rob a bank or grocery store or rush into someone’s home carrying a gun, they just might get shot?

When we remove our schools, our families, our neighborhoods and our politics from God, we can only replace that void with – what? Someone’s good behavior? We see what that gets us. Any criminal with a gun can kill dozens. In Newtown, Connecticut, 20 innocent lives have been taken by a madman; 20 family BBQs will now be less, 20 family picnics, 20 touchdowns, 20 school plays, 20 Christmas trees, 20 home runs, 20 soccer goals, 20 basketball hoops made, 20 birthdays – lost, all lost. Taken by a maniac who sprays bullets from a gun.

When someone comes at you with a gun the best place to be is somewhere else. But if that’s not possible, the next best option is to run. If you can’t do that, then you must fight. If you do not fight and the other guy means to take your life – you lose. If you decide to fight but the other guy has a gun and you do not, you most likely lose. If you fight and you have a gun and the other guy does too, the statistics show that the odds are considerably in your favor. You will most likely survive.

How many of the 20 innocent lives lost in Newtown, Connecticut would be alive today if the principal, when she ran at the shooter with her defenseless body, instead had a gun?

How many of the 20 innocent lives lost in Newtown, Connecticut would be alive today if the school psychologist, when she heard the shooting and came running out of her office, instead of running defenseless, what if she had a gun?

What if any of the teachers who shielded their students with their bodies had a gun? How many of Newtown’s children would be alive today?

A school administrator said she heard the bang, bang, bang of the shots, but she hid under her desk, unable to do anything – because she had no gun. How many of the 20 innocent lives in Newtown, Connecticut would be alive today if you and I had allowed her to have a gun? How many?

The meaning of this tragic event is clear for those of us who are willing to face the truth honestly. If the teachers had guns, those students would be alive today. We must not ban guns, we must not restrict guns, we must not limit guns, we must train how to use them.

When we ask the question of what to do to prevent tragedies of this type in the future, the first step is to do exactly as the School Board of Newtown, Connecticut has done. Train. Implement security measures and train in those measures intensely - and frequently. These measures likely saved many more lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But that doesn’t stop a madman from crashing through a door, that doesn’t stop someone from wearing Kevlar, that doesn’t stop someone intent on murder from carrying an arm full of guns. Nor will any law or prohibition against guns.

When a gunman walks up to a school full of innocent children, what is more likely to make him go away; a sign that reads “All weapons prohibited on school grounds” or a sign that reads “Staff heavily armed and trained. Any attempt to harm children will be met with deadly force”?

Conspiracy of the End Times

I have researched and studied finance, military strategy, economics, physics, history, business, religion and politics for over 30 years. Based on the understanding that arose from said research, I was able, in January 1986, to determine that a secret organization operating out of the White House basement was raising heroin and opium in Iran for sale in the US and Europe. With the money thus obtained, this organization then purchased weapons that were shipped onward to the Contra's in Nicaragua. The weapons seemed to have been mostly purchased through contacts (or a contact) in South Africa. Additional funding seemed to originate within Saudi Arabia. Some of the money was used to hire Israeli commandos to train the Contra's in Nicaragua.

With my understanding of military strategy, I devised a war plan for Iraq in November of 1990. This plan was essentially 95% identical as implemented on the ground by Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf in February of 1991. The only operational difference is that I envisioned an amphibious assault just north of Basra up the Umm Al Qasr. Where military talking heads were estimating no less than 10,000 combat deaths with some estimates as high as 30,000 and a war length of 3 to 6 months, I expected 750 combat deaths with a war length of 100 to 1000 hours.

The ground war lasted exactly 100 hours and approximately 250 Coalition troops were killed in combat.

In 1986, I devised an Inflation Algorithm which has been correct in predicting the forthcoming year's inflation rate to within 1/10 of a percent. This continued until just a few years ago when manipulation of the markets overrode organic market forces.

In 2005, I advised several of my acquaintances to pull out of the real estate market if they had investments therein and I advised others to withhold investing in real estate because a bubble had formed and would most likely burst within 1 to 3 years.

It was easy to see that George Bush would be elected President and I accurately projected that his election would be based on spurious results in Florida and then for his second term - in Ohio.

The election of Barack Obama was too obvious to require attention.

I do not provide this to brag, I provide this only to express that my insights have merit and validity.

We can all see that the United States has taken a dramatic turn for the worse over the last 2 or 3 decades. From the lies of the Nixon White House, the corruption and deceit of the federal government has only grown worse. Simultaneously, the Harvard/Wharton MBA's have sacrificed morality and ethics in business on the altar of high finance and greater profits. The average American knows this is wrong; he and she know that something is wrong with America. It is this feeling which has given rise to the Tea Party whose purpose is to restore the government to the people from whom it has been hijacked.

There are many who contend, and I am one of them, that a conspiracy exists at the highest levels of governmental affairs to thwart the will of the American people, subordinate the Constitution to the fancy of these conspirators and strip Americans not only of their rights, but of their wealth and property as well.

We see the signs that this plan is well underway and well advanced.

In August 2001, William Cooper, a "conspiracy theorist" reported to the subscribers of his newsletter, to neighbors and friends, at a seminar and over the air by his private short wave radio station, that the US government was planning an attack against its own people. This would be a false flag operation as the government would affix blame on a non-participating third party.

William Cooper reported that this operation would probably occur shortly and would consist of apparently commercial airliners being hijacked and flown into significant American landmarks with the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans. Further, he reported that the government would frame Osama Bin Laden to take the blame.

A few days after this announcement, William Cooper was killed in a shootout with Arizona Sheriff's deputies.

Earlier in 2001, a newspaper in India reported that China was proposing to negotiate with Saddam Hussein to purchase a significant amount of Iraq's oil production with the hope of procuring 100%. This newspaper article predicted that the US would have to attack Iraq in order to protect its oil supply.

In Afghanistan, the Afghan government had rebuffed all US proposals to build an oil pipeline across Afghanistan to provide the US with an alternative route for MidEast oil delivery if for some reason the Straits of Hormuz were to be shut down. The Board of Directors of Halliburton considered a proposal to prepare the American people for a war with Afghanistan which would serve the US by permitting an oil pipeline to be built across Afghanistan.

In 2000, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) prepared a plan to spread the "virtues" of America around the world. These virtues would include American style democracy, American style markets and economics and American style consumer consumption. These "virtues" would be spread even to those nations unwilling to accept such "virtues" by any means necessary including the military option. Accepting this dominance by America would essentially enslave such nations into subservience to the United States.

Founding members of PNAC include important members of the Bush (W) Adminstration: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and others. Other members include Dan Quayle, Richard Perle, William Bennett, Steve Forbes and Jeb Bush, to name a few. It is significant to note that many of these members were draft dodgers and deferments - the chicken hawks who glorify war but have never served during war.

Based on this and other, evidence, future directions for the United States can be assessed.

These are in no particular order.

1. A state of martial law must occur in the United States. This would be accompanied by limitations on travel and communications. Prior to this, enhanced "security" measures will slowly desensitize the American public to the infringement of their rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution.

2. An international organization will be established to deal with the threat from an asteroid collision with Earth. This will serve to consolidate military command and control operations across various nations and engender communications and operations between said nation's military forces with each other.

3. Possibly, a state of hyperinflation may occur in the United States. Although this is speculative, what is not is that any end to the recession and a rebound in economic growth will be shortly followed by another economic bust. This may be the excuse to impose martial law. In any case, a period of artificially induced inflation must soon occur.

4. Military organizations from perhaps five other nations will patrol American streets in conjunction with the American military.

5. I hope I am wrong, but in my heart I feel this is inevitable and irreversible: the United States will be destroyed in war. I do not know how, when or by what forces, but the powers that be will sacrifice the nation and people of the United States in order to spread fear and terror across the world. This is so they can then assume control of the world's military, civil and religious organizations "in order to prevent another catastrophic war." "Peace and security" is the phrase the powers that be will use to consolidate their control and power over the world. This will also serve to acquire the world's wealth and place natural resources under their control.

6. A new organization will be established to deal with the threat from aliens or an existing organization will be reconfigured to deal with this threat.

7. Global climate changes and increasing natural disasters and larger and larger and more destructive storms will occur. This is already too far advanced to stop.

8. Strange and new diseases and pandemics will spread across the world. Most of these will be said to be natural in origin but most, if not all, will be human engineered.

9. The time has nearly come (and may be here) for True Believers in Christ to depart the United States. I believe God will soon call or is now calling His people to leave the US or face the destruction that will occur. I do not know of a safe place to go, you must consult God and your own heart. Some ideas may be the American deserts and deep forests, northern Canada, Siberia, the Sahara, the African savanna, central Australia or possibly Baja California. Any industrialized and "civilized" area or nation will experience unprecedented violence, turmoil and oppression. This will probably be accompanied with famine and pandemics.

This is but a simple and off the cuff observation of world affairs. This is all based on a simple reading of news reports and media broadcasts that all people have access to and to which many of us may hear but not listen. In no way do I claim infallibility or divine insight or inspiration. This is all a simple understanding of history and politics.
