More Media-Generated Hysteria

Liberty 1st explores the careful selection of words designed to elicit the most fear and loathing.

This is actually scary, because it's a bellwether--the more comfortable so-called "mainstream news" outlets are to engage in outright propaganda, the more conditioned they must believe the masses have become. On the flip side, the elites running the editorial departments aren't businessmen, and a combination of leftist arrogance and competion from "new media" (i.e., you're here reading a blog instead of a newspaper) have contributed to decreases in readership and plunging profits for many of the majors.

I had a caller for the Los Angeles Slime, *ahem*, Times try to sell me a subscription a while back. I told her that I wouldn't buy it as long as they continued to slander the Bill of Rights, i.e., the 2A. She asked if that was the only reason. (as if that's not reason enough!) I said no, but it's the primary reason. She couldn't argue against that.

After having given the myriad of problems we face in our country careful reflection. It has dawned on me that we did not learn THE CORRECT LESSON from that most horrendous of era's - World War II.

For example; the usage of Goebels style nazi propaganda by many in media. (Media, whose original function was to report the FACTS to the American people! Giving WARNING should wrong doing by government surface!)

No, it is quite apparent what was learned by our government and other people, whom THINK themselves in POWER. And it does not bode well for the people as a whole!

Rather than setting it as an example of what NOT to do. As would be the proper use of such an example. They, perversely, have used it as a model for their SCHEMING!

The media has allowed itself to become an all to willing tool in the hands of evil. One has to wonder, at what price was their SOUL bought for? What type of thinking drives the mind of a TRAITOR?

Our ( now defeated since yesterday) Prime Minister was coming into an election dragging 13 years of scandal, with 26 separate ongoing RCMP investigations into criminality in his government and had 3 scandals break while on the campaign trail.,,,he was a true crud in every sense and he smelled the end. In desparation after another shooting in Toronto's exploding Jamacan grug gang war he blurted out he would ban all handguns from lawful owners to stop the problems in Toronto if he was re elected....the media didn't buy it and ridiculed him and he lost.

I see in Illinois they have a similar tyrant bugger who want's to mimic Our PM's bans on sport shooting and to ban handguns in cities and get you involved in the treacherous criminal liabilities of a firearms ownership licence.....Beware my American Brothers...global socialism is at work on both sides of the border. We can never rest until we nail down the coffin lid on Malicious political hacks who think they can get milage by promoting the 5th columnist agenda of civil disarmament...I mean we have to make them suffer...punish them so others see this is a dead end for a politician.

Now we have some firearms friendly conservatives in Ottawa, we will be going after the anti-gun lobbyists with a vengence and prosecuting all the ones who have been living off government patronage while pretending to be a independent lobby group ( this is illegal in Canada)...we are also going after the architect of the Canadian gun registry for capital crimes in office over spending allocation frauds...we're taking out the trash up here and I hope you folks see the value of doing similar to any anti-gun politico who is on the take.

Our freedom depends on it.
