Larry Silverstein is a Murder


If you watch the Twin Towers collapse on 9/11 you will clearly see the effect of the squib-charges systematically going off several floors (8 to 10 floor) below the collapse line on the way down from both sides of the tower visible. When the squib charges explode, the ones you can see not yet masked by collapsing debris, they send out the distinctive puffs of smoke / dust blasting out and through the widows. The heat signatures on floors where no fires were burning, combined with spectral light element analysis seen establishes those "puffs of smoke" as coming rather conclusively from squib-charges going off. Done so to weaken the entire structure for demolition collapse. 
 
The towers were built so that the core was designed to act as a guide post for the floors suspended from the core in the event of catastrophic failure. The core was designed to be left standing in the event of catastrophic failure. This was done to prevent the tower from falling "over" and hitting 20 or so other buildings. There are no if's or buts per the core remaining standing excluding controlled demolition below the impact damage zone, end of story period.
 

The WTC towers, Port Authority of NY and NJ, the owners of the complex knew the towers needed to be demolished. It came to their attention back in 1978 when asbestos was banned that the several hundred tons of asbestos fire insulation used on the internal structure was a BIG problem. As the asbestos broke down over time, the fine particles could circulate throughout the building exposing the tenants to the asbestos and law suits could amount in the billions of dollars.
 
In 1980 they installed a very expensive special air filtration system in the two towers to curtail spread of those fine particle. (I note also it was determined that if a level 4 or 5 hurricane with maintained winds of over 215 MPH made a direct hit on the towers they in high probability would not be able to withstand the millions of metric tons of wind force hitting the flat surfaced side walls) Port Authority then commissioned in 1979 for an estimate of the cost to demolish the towers. The price came back at 8 billion dollars and that did not include the law suits that could amount into extra billions of dollars from individuals who claimed they were damaged by being exposed to the asbestos when the towers were demolished.

11 REMARKABLE FACTS ABOUT 9/11
WTC Building 7 also fell on 9/11 in an obvious (super-) controlled demolition
1) The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center Building 7
It is commonly known that the Twin Towers fell on 9/11, but did you know that a third World Trade Center high-rise building also fell that day? WTC Building 7, a 47-story steel-framed skyscraper located one block from the Twin Towers was not hit by any plane, but collapsed at 5:20 that evening, imploding in the exact manner of a professionally engineered demolition. It fell suddenly, straight down, at near freefall speed, and landed in a compact pile of rubble, barely damaging any of the surrounding buildings. These are but a few of eleven characteristics of Building 7's collapse that are consistent only with controlled demolitions. Further, the leaseholder of the three buildings, Larry Silverstein, said in 2002 on PBS that on the afternoon of 9/11 he suggested to the NYC fire department commander that they "pull" WTC 7. "Pull" is an industry term that means "demolish," but it normally takes a team of skilled people many weeks to design and implement large demolitions. Astonishingly, there is no mention of WTC Building 7's remarkable collapse in the 571-page 9/11 Commission Report.

Well, the "staged" collapse on 911, solved that problem and they got two bangs for the buck. It also initiated the go ahead for the wars in the middle east which I note were on the drawing boards over at the Pentagon and the Bush White House to be initiated on the exact dates the first invasions took place, and those dates were set 6-months before the towers collapsed.
 
Additionally the Port Authority was trying to sell the WTC complex after realizing their problem starting in 1978. No takers..
 
Then comes along Larry Silverstein in 2000, a joint US and Israeli citizen that takes out a 99-year lease for 3-billion dollars that required monthly payments of about 37-million dollars a month. He then secures a double indemnity insurance policy for "terrorism attacks" with the policy providing a maximum total coverage of 7-billion dollars. The policy issued and the signed ink was not even dry yet on that policy and down goes the towers!  
 

Then, Silverstien's makes his insurance claim for 7-billion. He settled on a 6.5 billion dollar payout and only had 4-months pay-ins to the rental contract. What a payout profit on about a 148-million dollar pay-in that in effect the monthly lessee payments were already reimbursed him and extra from the rents being paid from the tenants. 


Did Silverstien contribute as a gift $$$$$ directly to the re-building by Port Authority of NY and NJ of the new towers? No, but he did though as a business deal put up 1.4 billion dollars in advance payments for construction to lock in the prime and substantial rental space in the new complex.  The complex is being rebuilt primarily at taxpayer's expense.

FACT: Vaccines Causes Autism

If you have children I beg you to watch this video. It may save their LIVES...and yours.

Vaxxed is a documentary which  investigates how the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the government agency charged with protecting the health of American citizens, concealed and destroyed data on their 2004 study that showed a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. This deliberate  deception has directly contributed to the skyrocketing increase of autism.

 

If the vaccination industry is allowed to continue...

By 2032, 80% of boys and 50% of all children will have some form of autism. The male population will be beyond repair. We will lose an entire generation of male children.

"Every child who receives the MMR [measles, mumps, rubella] vaccine gets at least a 10 point IQ reduction for life.  The worst, maybe your child, will develop full blown autism." Jim Stone

How can this nightmare keep going forward? 

Simple...

The business of vaccines is soon to become a major source of profits for the world’s largest pharmaceutical corporations. A press release (Business Wire, January 21st 2016) published by marketwatch.com says that Technavio, one of the leading technology research and advisory companies in the world predicts that pharmaceutical corporations who produce vaccines will reach a staggering $61 BILLION dollars in profits by 2020.

Asset Forfeiture is a Direct Violation of the 4th Amendment

NJhttps://westernrifleshooters.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/imrs-php.png

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states quite clearly that , "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." 

However, in 2014, for the first time ever, law enforcement officers (Government) STOLE more property from American citizens than criminals.  I know the distinction between the two is a hair thin line, but this theft by government of American assets is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment.  

The government uses a Asset forfeiture or asset seizure is a form of confiscation of assets by the state. It typically applies to the alleged proceeds or instruments of crime. This applies, but is not limited, to terrorist activities, drug related crimes, and other criminal and even civil offenses. 


So pretty much anything the government or police agencies dreams up is used as an excuse to illegally steal from the American people. The way the government gets around the 4th Amendment is bureaucracy on steroids.  The mind mindbogglingly complicated procedures, red tape, and often, outright denial of the victims 4th Amendment rights; often wear the victim down so that they simply give in to financial rape.  Asset forfeiture violates so many civil liberty issues that the practice should be illegal. However, since the police agencies, the US government, and the courts each get a piece of the stolen assets, civil liberties are trampled and justice is thrown out the window.    


Police Officers can seize cash, vehicles, property from people without convicting or even charging them with a crime.  By not charging them with a crime the courts are taken out of the equation.  Make no mistake, this is theft by the government.  It is a controversial practice known as civil asset forfeiture. Last year, according to the Institute for Justice, the Treasury and Justice departments deposited more than $5 BILLION into their respective asset forfeiture funds. That's a lot of new cars, New guns, combat vehicles, and even big screen T.V.'s for the officers break rooms.

Even, if by a miracle, you are able to get a court to admit that the police officer or governmental agency was wrong in their theft of your property, you still will not receive all of your money or property back.   Because the court had to go through the procedure of returning your property the court often takes 30-50 percent of the value of the property for court costs and court fees.  Often, after a governmental agency or Police officer seizes your property they will offer, up front, to return your property, cash, etc minus a 40-50 percent  fee.   So, even if the government is fully aware that it knowingly seized your assets illegally, they are still going to profit from their mistake.    This allows police and governmental agencies to continue to knowingly profit from illegal practices which would land any average American in jail for felony theft. 


An even more onerous fact is that the $5 BILLION seized by the Federal government don't bring to light how much property and cash is seized by state and local police departments each year.   Data for all 50 states is unavailable because the state and local police departments do NOT want an HONEST accounting of just how much graft they are stealing form the American people.  The closet numerical data to be found is by the Institute of Justice which stated that the total asset forfeiture haul for only 14 states was a Quarter of a BILLION dollars in 2013 alone!  

The grand 50-state total would probably be in the multiple BILLIONS.   So, the lean number stolen from the American people by theft and violation of the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution is somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 BILLION dollars annually.

The NEW Maryland


 The Maryland Senate voted Thursday to remove references to the Confederacy from the official state song and replace the controversial portions of the historic anthem with a verse from a meaningless poem that has no merit or relationship to the TRUE past of Maryland. 

The 38-to-8 vote by spineless politicians came after a protracted debate about how Maryland should address its painful past.

Painful to Whom? 
 
Supporters of the bill said the song titled "Maryland, My Maryland," written by James Ryder Randall in 1861, is not unifying and does not represent the NEW Maryland.

A formless, isomorphic entity with no history, no scars, no struggles, no past.  It is NOW a Maryland devoid of a soul, history, families, folklore, ties to anything that might in any way offend anyone.  

Maryland's history, is being erased to ecstatic applause.  Just like the applause that rang out at the appointment of Adolf Hitler as German chancellor on January 30, 1933.  It was a NEW Germany just like now, it's a NEW Maryland.!


In the NEW America everyone is happy all the time because NO one is allowed to upset anyone on the special list. The special list is the protected class, the upper class, those that are MORE equal then others. 

The worst part of that is that it is only the beginning. Soon, all ties to America's past will be erased and replaced with fake, plastic, whitewashed images, portraying how happy the New America is thanks to those who were brave enough to erase it's past. 

 ISIS/ISIL in the middle east is doing the same thing. It is blowing up ancient monuments, historical buildings, burning artifacts all so ISIS/ISIL can remake the middle east in their image.


Randall wrote the song "Maryland, My Maryland" while he was upset over the death of a friend who was shot while protesting Union troops as they marched through Baltimore. It calls for Marylanders to take up arms and join the South in its battle against the Union!  For those with weak hearts look away because the song even calls Northerners "scum," and describes President Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant

OMG! such harsh words.  I'm going to need my University to immediately create a safe space, provide intense biweekly therapy and I'm going to need Federal government to pay all my bills since I'm not going to be able to work for the foreseeable future. Those words were too much for my fragile vegan, nonspecific gender, fluid sexuality mind to handle or process.

Randall's feelings, those feelings of the other Southerners who lost family members, businesses, monies, estates, titles, jobs, etc. are of no consequence to the NEW Maryland.   The NEW Maryland has nothing to do with the OLD, WHITE, CHRISTIAN, SOUTHERN, Maryland, no not at all. The NEW Maryland is kid friendly, anti-white, pro-homosexual, pro-Islam, pro atheists, with a Planned Parenthood on every corner and a 24hr Pharmacy that carries Plan-B abortifacient on every shelf.  

The bill passed by the Senate on Thursday calls for some of Randall's lyrics to be replaced with a verse from a poem written by John T. White in 1894. The bill now moves to the House for consideration.
"I think it's time to get rid of the verse that basically criticizes and makes us look bad," said Sen. Ronald N. Young , D-Frederick. "The [song] is degrading to Maryland and should not represent us moving forward."


Opponents of the bill had their FACEBOOK accounts deleted and were summarily branded White privileged,  Homophobic, Religious Fanatics, who are Hateful Bigots and most likely Cis-gendered inbreds Conservative Republicans...

US high schools to Snitch on students who show signs of being Individuals


The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has introduced a new mass surveillance program which instructs US high schools to report students who show signs of being future terrorists.

https://info.publicintelligence.net/FBI-PreventingExtremismSchools.pdf

The FBI’s program, labeled ‘Preventing Violent Extremism in Schools’, was released in January, providing guidelines mostly laid out to target Muslim-American communities and educational centers.

"High school students are ideal targets for recruitment by violent extremists seeking support for their radical ideologies, foreign fighter networks, or conducting acts of violence within our borders," the FBI program guidelines read....Have these people ever been to a US high school?  Most kids in High school are struggling to pass math class, let alone plotting the overthrown of the Western Democracies!  
 
It's also a perfect time to instill fear and suspicion in young individuals.   By blanketing teens with fear individuality is stifled. 

The FBI calls on teachers to “incorporate a two-hour block of violent extremism awareness training” into the core curriculum for all youth in grades 9 through 12.

This is more about intimidation and fear programming then actually finding any future terrorists.  By convincing young people that a boogeyman is hiding behind every corner they will be more susceptible to government propaganda and accepting of mass government surveillance. 
 
The guidelines instruct educators to look for warning signs or indicators that a student could exhibit as a potential threat regarding extremism, such as talking about traveling to places that sound suspicious, using code words or unusual language, using several different cell phones and private messaging apps, and studying or taking pictures of potential targets like a government building.

Yeah, because everyone knows that terrorists with box cutters are hiding in the local high school band camp.  They may look like confused teenagers with acne trying master the trombone, but in reality they are brilliant terrorists operatives a heartbeat away from toppling the European Union.  

US high school staff maintain that many of these so-called indicators are too broad to be effective.

So, we need to narrow the criteria down to ANYONE who dares question the government in any way. ANYONE who is an individual.  ANYONE who 'Thinks too much. ANYONE who references the Founding Father, the Constitution, and heaven forbid dare utter the phrase...Second Amendment.' 


The program seems to be in line with a similar one operated in the UK, known as 'Preventing Violent Extremism', which relies on mass-surveillance of  the country’s public schools.

The first name they chose was 'Keeping the Slaves in Line' but that one was already taken.

The program in the UK was heavily bashed by rights groups and activists.

Yet, because everyone in the UK is actual property of the Queen there was nothing they could do except complain while maintaining a stiff upper lip (All very British I'm told) .  
 
"Case studies show that children are being taken away from mandatory school hours to be questioned on matters misconstrued as markers of extremism. To say that this is an injustice to the youth, to America as a whole is an understatement.  

The real truth here is the children are being indoctrinated in the current political Re-education system. They are being groomed for the New World Order as worker slaves who have been taught from a young age that they have NO freedoms, No privacy, and No free-thought without a permit.

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano thoughts on the Hillary Email woes

Illustration by Michael Ramirez for Creators Syndicate
 
 

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano 

"While her husband has been arguing with military veterans at her political rallies and while Marco Rubio and Donald Trump have been mocking each other’s body parts, a series of curious developments has occurred in the Clinton email scandal.


It is fair to call this a scandal because it consists of the public revelation of the private and probably criminal misdeeds of the nation’s chief diplomat during President Obama’s first term in office. Mrs. Clinton’s job as secretary of state was to keep secrets. Instead, she exposed them to friend and foe. The exposure of state secrets, either intentionally or negligently, constitutes the crime of espionage. For the secretary of state to have committed espionage is, quite simply, scandalous.


We are not addressing just a handful of emails. To date, the State Department has revealed the presence of more than 2,000 emails on her private server that contained state secrets — and four that were select access privilege, or SAP. The SAP emails require special codes in order to access them. The codes change continually, and very few people in the government have the codes. SAP is a subcategory of “top secret,” and it constitutes the highest level of protected secrecy, for the utmost protection of the government’s gravest secrets. It is unheard of for SAP-level data to reside in a non-secure, vulnerable venue — yet that is where Mrs. Clinton caused four SAPs to reside.
 

Mrs. Clinton’s allies in the State Department have perpetrated the myth that the 2,000 emails were recently upgraded to reflect their secret contents. That is untrue. The emails possess secret status by virtue of their contents, not because of any markings on them. Mrs. Clinton had a legal obligation to recognize state secrets when she saw them, no matter their markings or non-markings. On her first day on the job, she swore under oath that she recognized and understood that legal obligation and she promised to comply with it. She did not comply.


This past weekend, the newly revealed emails showed that Mrs. Clinton emailed about the location of drone strikes. By their very nature, such emails contain state secrets. They contained state secrets when she received them; they contained them when she sent them; and they contain state secrets today.
Also this past weekend, Gen. Michael Hayden, formerly director of the CIA and of the National Security Agency, stated on CNN that it is a near certainty that the Russian government and others had access to Mrs. Clinton’s non-secure server and all it contained.


Lawyers familiar with the terminology of state secrets will refrain from using the word “classified” to describe the emails that contained state secrets, even though Mrs. Clinton repeatedly does that. The word “classified” is not a legal term; rather, it is derived from the verb “to classify,” and it means that the classification process has been completed.  Since nothing is marked “classified” — the legal markings are “confidential,” “secret” and “top secret”
 
 Mrs. Clinton has been materially misleading the public and the FBI when she claims that she never sent or received anything “marked classified.”
By saying that, she wants us to believe that in more than 2,000 instances, she failed to ascertain the presence of state secrets in emails she received or sent. No voter but the most hardened supporter, no federal prosecutor, no FBI agent and no juror will believe that.


The FBI investigation process is coming to its logical conclusion, and the judge who ordered the State Department to release all of Mrs. Clinton’s emails also has ordered that her top State Department aides submit to oral depositions — examinations under oath before trial — in the Freedom of Information Act litigation brought by Judicial Watch against the State Department.


He directed the Judicial Watch lawyers to ascertain whether there was a conspiracy in the secretary of state’s office to violate federal law. If those lawyers find evidence of such a conspiracy, they may then seek the oral examination of Mrs. Clinton herself.
This search for a conspiracy will take Mrs. Clinton down the road to perdition — to the end of her hopes. Along that road are instructions to a subordinate to divert all her government emails through her private server. On the side of that road are emails instructing her aides to remove “secret” markings from documents and resend the documents to her via a non-secure fax machine.
 

On that road are emails revealing the names of secret undercover intelligence assets, the locations of North Korean nuclear facilities, the transcripts of telephone conversations among foreign intelligence agents, and the travel plans of then-U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens in the days before he was murdered.


 Democrats who indulge in Mrs. Clinton’s false hopes will do so at their peril. Don’t they want to know of her potential status as a criminal defendant before they complete their nominating process? Or do they, like her, think that they can just hope that all this will go away?

Mitch McConnell Says He Will Help Hillary Defeat Trump

Mitch McConnell Says He Will Help Hillary Defeat Trump If the GOP leadership cannot keep Trump from taking the nomination.  

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.I.N.O.) told establishment Republicans that the GOP would actively destroy Donald Trump’s election. 

The upper echelons of the the Republican Party do NOT care what the American people want.  The American voters mean NOTHING to the establishment  Republicans.  The Republican party is willing to go nuclear and destroy the party before they will allow the American voter dictate who will be the Republican front runner. 

 
Trump is almost surely going to win the nomination  The New York Times, Republican sources confirm that party leadership is planning to destroy Trump and give Hillary Clinton the win rather than let him have control of the GOP.
 
To rally  the Republican establishment, McConnell has hatched an unthinkable tactical retreat: Let Hillary Clinton win and focus on maintaining control over the Senate.
While still hopeful that Mr. Rubio might prevail, McConnell has begun preparing senators for the prospect of a Trump nomination. 

McConnell  is assuring the Republican elites  that, if it Trump can NOT be stopped then the plan is to run negative ads destroying Trump.   This will be done to appease Republican senators seeking re-election. 

McConnell has raised the possibility of helping Republican voters support President Hillary Clinton, according to senators at the Republican donor lunches.
Mitch McConnell is floating the idea of tanking his party’s own candidate for president over sandwiches at lunch.
McConnell does NOT care that the American people want Trump in the White House.  


McConnell does NOT care that the American people have voted their consciousness. 


McConnell sees the American people as meaningless and simply an irritant when it comes to who should or should not be in the White House. 


McConnell, like so many other in the Republican party are simply (R.H.I.N.O.'sRepublican's in Name Only

If this all sounds insane, then welcome to the Republican Party in 2016.

The saddest part in this scheme is that McConnell’s plan probably won’t even work – at least not in the way he hopes. For one thing, Trump has run his entire campaign on being anti-everything the current “establishment” Republican Party stands for. If his rabid supporters catch wind of the fact that R.I.N.O.'S senators like Mitch McConnell are lining against him, that will only make him more popular. Trump’s been saying the party is against him all along. This only confirms it.

McConnell is Deliberately, Willfully, and with forethought leading Senate Republicans into surrendering the White House to Hillary Clinton.

McConnell, a politician, who thinks that he is above the law,  has decided that he will use his political power to BLOCK the American People's choice of Donald Trump for President of the United States. All because he doesn't like the fact that Donald Trump will not bow down and kiss his ring.

The Fix is In


While most of us already know the system is rigged and our votes aren’t worth the electronic voting machine we type them into regardless of which side of the carpet we’re voting on.  

This Democrat party's nomination between Hillary vs. Bernie has proven, without a doubt, that the American people's vote are meaningless.

Hillary will win the Dem nomination no matter what because she already has all the super delegates. 

The party Democrats have already been told by the DNC chair that their votes are worthless.   It’s blatant and overt and everyone knows it.  Hillary already has all the super delegates in her pocket so there’s no way Bernie can possibly win anyway.
So why are they even continuing this charade?

If you think Bernie Sanders is riding high after a commanding victory in New Hampshire and virtual tie in Iowa, it’s all an illusion.
 
Bernie is up 36 to 32 in the delegate count, but add the “super” delegates, and Clinton is absolutely crushing him. Those delegates aren’t bound to their state results, and have free reign to vote at the convention for whomever they want. The American Democratic voter has no say in the party's nomination.  The American people are NOT party to the election process.  The Democratic Party has finally tipped the scale into open Communism. 
According to The Associated Press, the total with those all-powerful super-voters – Clinton’s up 481 to 55.

The American Democratic voter does NOT matter! You can feel all the Bern you want, but you are just a slave, and slaves have no voice in politics.  


The reality is your vote has ZERO value!
Hillary does not even need people misplacing votes, cheating at coin tosses or card draws.

The backroom deals have been made. The system is rigged.
Why don’t they just go ahead and hold the queen’s coronation ceremony now?

The Unabridged Second Amendment by J. Neil Schulman




If you wanted to know all about the Big Bang, you'd ring up Carl Sagan, right? And if you wanted to know about desert warfare, the man to call would be Norman Schwarzkopf, no question about it. But who would you call if you wanted the top expert on American usage, to tell you the meaning of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution?
That was the question I asked A.C. Brocki, editorial coordinator of the Los Angeles Unified School District and formerly senior editor at Houghton Mifflin Publishers — who himself had been recommended to me as the foremost expert on English usage in the Los Angeles school system. Mr. Brocki told me to get in touch with Roy Copperud, a retired professor of journalism at the University of Southern California and a 17-year career teaching journalism at USC. Since 1952, Copperud has been writing a column dealing with the professional aspects of journalism for Editor and Publisher, a weekly magazine focusing on the journalism field.
He's on the usage panel of the American Heritage Dictionary, and Merriam Webster's Usage Dictionary frequently cites him as an expert. Copperud's fifth book on usage, American Usage and Style: The Consensus, has been in continuous print from Van Nostrand Reinhold since 1981, and is the winner of the Association of American Publisher's Humanities Award.


That sounds like an expert to me.
After a brief telephone call to Professor Copperud in which I introduced myself but did not give him any indication of why I was interested, I sent the following letter...
 







"I am writing you to ask you for your professional opinion as an expert in English usage, to analyze the text of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, and extract the intent from the text.
"The text of the Second Amendment is, 'A well-regulated Militia, being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'
"The debate over this amendment has been whether the first part of the sentence, 'A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State', is a restrictive clause or a subordinate clause, with respect to the independent clause containing the subject of the sentence, 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'


"I would request that your analysis of this sentence not take into consideration issues of political impact or public policy, but be restricted entirely to a linguistic analysis of its meaning and intent. Further, since your professional analysis will likely become part of litigation regarding the consequences of the Second Amendment, I ask that whatever analysis you make be a professional opinion that you would be willing to stand behind with your reputation, and even be willing to testify under oath to support, if necessary."


My letter framed several questions about the test of the Second Amendment, then concluded:
"I realize that I am asking you to take on a major responsibility and task with this letter. I am doing so because, as a citizen, I believe it is vitally important to extract the actual meaning of the Second Amendment. While I ask that your analysis not be affected by the political importance of its results, I ask that you do this because of that importance."
After several more letters and phone calls, in which we discussed terms for his doing such an analysis, but in which we never discussed either of our opinions regarding the Second Amendment, gun control, or any other political subject, Professor Copperud sent me the follow analysis:

[Copperud:] "The words 'A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state,' contrary to the interpretation cited in your letter of July 26, 1991, constitutes a present participle, rather than a clause. It is used as an adjective, modifying 'militia,' which is followed by the main clause of the sentence (subject 'the right', verb 'shall'). The to keep and bear arms is asserted as an essential for maintaining a militia.
"In reply to your numbered questions:

[Schulman:] "(1) Can the sentence be interpreted to grant the right to keep and bear arms solely to 'a well-regulated militia'?"

[Copperud:] "(1) The sentence does not restrict the right to keep and bear arms, nor does it state or imply possession of the right elsewhere or by others than the people; it simply makes a positive statement with respect to a right of the people."

[Schulman:] "(2) Is 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms' granted by the words of the Second Amendment, or does the Second Amendment assume a preexisting right of the people to keep and bear arms, and merely state that such right 'shall not be infringed'?"
 








[Copperud:] "(2) The right is not granted by the amendment; its existence is assumed. The thrust of the sentence is that the right shall be preserved inviolate for the sake of ensuring a militia."

[Schulman:] "(3) Is the right of the people to keep and bear arms conditioned upon whether or not a well regulated militia, is, in fact necessary to the security of a free State, and if that condition is not existing, is the statement 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed' null and void?"


[Copperud:] "(3) No such condition is expressed or implied. The right to keep and bear arms is not said by the amendment to depend on the existence of a militia. No condition is stated or implied as to the relation of the right to keep and bear arms and to the necessity of a well-regulated militia as a requisite to the security of a free state. The right to keep and bear arms is deemed unconditional by the entire sentence."


[Schulman:] "(4) Does the clause 'A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,' grant a right to the government to place conditions on the 'right of the people to keep and bear arms,' or is such right deemed unconditional by the meaning of the entire sentence?"


[Copperud:] "(4) The right is assumed to exist and to be unconditional, as previously stated. It is invoked here specifically for the sake of the militia."


[Schulman:] "(5) Which of the following does the phrase 'well-regulated militia' mean: 'well-equipped', 'well-organized,' 'well-drilled,' 'well-educated,' or 'subject to regulations of a superior authority'?"


[Copperud:] "(5) The phrase means 'subject to regulations of a superior authority;' this accords with the desire of the writers for civilian control over the military."

[Schulman:] "(6) (If at all possible, I would ask you to take account the changed meanings of words, or usage, since that sentence was written 200 years ago, but not take into account historical interpretations of the intents of the authors, unless those issues can be clearly separated." 

[Copperud:] "To the best of my knowledge, there has been no change in the meaning of words or in usage that would affect the meaning of the amendment. If it were written today, it might be put: "Since a well-regulated militia is necessary tot he security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged.'

[Schulman:] "As a 'scientific control' on this analysis, I would also appreciate it if you could compare your analysis of the text of the Second Amendment to the following sentence,

"A well-schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be infringed.' 

"My questions for the usage analysis of this sentence would be,

"(1) Is the grammatical structure and usage of this sentence and the way the words modify each other, identical to the Second Amendment's sentence?; 
and
"(2) Could this sentence be interpreted to restrict 'the right of the people to keep and read Books' only to 'a well-educated electorate' — for example, registered voters with a high-school diploma?"

[Copperud:] "(1) Your 'scientific control' sentence precisely parallels the amendment in grammatical structure.

"(2) There is nothing in your sentence that either indicates or implies the possibility of a restricted interpretation."

Professor Copperud had only one additional comment, which he placed in his cover letter: "With well-known human curiosity, I made some speculative efforts to decide how the material might be used, but was unable to reach any conclusion."
So now we have been told by one of the top experts on American usage what many knew all along: the Constitution of the United States unconditionally protects the people's right to keep and bear arms, forbidding all governments formed under the Constitution from abridging that right.

They have Stolen the Past from the Present so in the End there is Only Their Future


Professor Patrick Deneen reveals the hidden truth behind America's fallen educational system.  It is not broken at all, in fact, it is working exactly as conceived by those who want a One World Government.  In removing any cultural moorings, political affiliations, or even human connections the hidden educators have erased America from the minds of it's children. 
 
Professor Deneen goes on to say...."My students are know-nothings. They are exceedingly nice, pleasant, trustworthy, mostly honest, well-intentioned, and utterly decent. But their brains are largely empty, devoid of any substantial knowledge that might be the fruits of an education in an inheritance and a gift of a previous generation. They are the culmination of western civilization, a civilization that has forgotten nearly everything about itself, and as a result, has achieved near-perfect indifference to its own culture.

 

It’s difficult to gain admissions to the schools where I’ve taught – Princeton, Georgetown, and now Notre Dame. Students at these institutions have done what has been demanded of them:  they are superb test-takers, they know exactly what is needed to get an A in every class (meaning that they rarely allow themselves to become passionate and invested in any one subject); they build superb resumes. They are respectful and cordial to their elders, though easy-going if crude with their peers. They respect diversity (without having the slightest clue what diversity is) and they are experts in the arts of non-judgmentalism (at least publically). They are the cream of their generation, the masters of the universe, a generation-in-waiting to run America and the world.

But ask them some basic questions about the civilization they will be inheriting, and be prepared for averted eyes and somewhat panicked looks. Who fought in the Peloponnesian War? Who taught Plato, and whom did Plato teach? How did Socrates die? Raise your hand if you have read both the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Canterbury Tales? Paradise Lost? The Inferno?


Who was Saul of Tarsus? What were the 95 theses, who wrote them, and what was their effect? Why does the Magna Carta matter? How and where did Thomas Becket die? Who was Guy Fawkes, and why is there a day named after him? What did Lincoln say in his Second Inaugural? His first Inaugural? How about his third Inaugural?  What are the Federalist Papers?


Some students, due most often to serendipitous class choices or a quirky old-fashioned teacher, might know a few of these answers. But most students have not been educated to know them. At best, they possess accidental knowledge, but otherwise are masters of systematic ignorance. It is not their “fault” for pervasive ignorance of western and American history, civilization, politics, art and literature. They have learned exactly what we have asked of them – to be like mayflies, alive by happenstance in a fleeting present.

Our students’ ignorance is not a failing of the educational system – it is its crowning achievement. Efforts by several generations of philosophers and reformers and public policy experts — whom our students (and most of us) know nothing about — have combined to produce a generation of know-nothings. The pervasive ignorance of our students is not a mere accident or unfortunate but correctible outcome, if only we hire better teachers or tweak the reading lists in high school. It is the consequence of a civilizational commitment to civilizational suicide. The end of history for our students signals the End of History for the West.


During my lifetime, lamentation over student ignorance has been sounded by the likes of E.D. Hirsch, Allan Bloom, Mark Bauerlein and Jay Leno, among many others. But these lamentations have been leavened with the hope that appeal to our and their better angels might reverse the trend (that’s an allusion to Lincoln’s first inaugural address, by the way). E.D. Hirsch even worked up a self-help curriculum, a do-it yourself guide on how to become culturally literate, imbued with the can-do American spirit that cultural defenestration could be reversed by a good reading list in the appendix. Broadly missing is sufficient appreciation that this ignorance is the intended consequence of our educational system, a sign of its robust health and success.
 

Books for Book-o-Phobes

We have fallen into the bad and unquestioned habit of thinking that our educational system is broken, but it is working on all cylinders. What our educational system aims to produce is cultural amnesia, a wholesale lack of curiosity, history-less free agents, and educational goals composed of content-free processes and unexamined buzz-words like “critical thinking,” “diversity,” “ways of knowing,” “social justice,” and “cultural competence.”
Our students are the achievement of a systemic commitment to producing individuals without a past for whom the future is a foreign country, cultureless ciphers who can live anywhere and perform any kind of work without inquiring about its purposes or ends, perfected tools for an economic system that prizes “flexibility” (geographic, interpersonal, ethical).


In such a world, possessing a culture, a history, an inheritance, a commitment to a place and particular people, specific forms of gratitude and indebtedness (rather than a generalized and deracinated commitment to “social justice”), a strong set of ethical and moral norms that assert definite limits to what one ought and ought not to do (aside from being “judgmental”) are hindrances and handicaps.
Regardless of major or course of study, the main object of modern education is to sand off remnants of any cultural or historical specificity and identity that might still stick to our students, to make them perfect company men and women for a modern polity and economy that penalizes deep commitments. Efforts first to foster appreciation for “multi-culturalism” signaled a dedication to eviscerate any particular cultural inheritance, while the current fad of “diversity” signals thoroughgoing commitment to de-cultured and relentless homogenization.

We Must Know…What?

Above all, the one overarching lesson that students receive is the true end of education: the only essential knowledge is that know ourselves to be radically autonomous selves within a comprehensive global system with a common commitment to mutual indifference. Our commitment to mutual indifference is what binds us together as a global people. Any remnant of a common culture would interfere with this prime directive:  a common culture would imply that we share something thicker, an inheritance that we did not create, and a set of commitments that imply limits and particular devotions.


Ancient philosophy and practice praised as an excellent form of government a res publica – a devotion to public things, things we share together. We have instead created the world’s first Res Idiotica – from the Greek word idiotes, meaning “private individual.” Our education system produces solipsistic, self-contained selves whose only public commitment is an absence of commitment to a public, a common culture, a shared history. They are perfectly hollowed vessels, receptive and obedient, without any real obligations or devotions.


They won’t fight against anyone, because that’s not seemly, but they won’t fight for anyone or anything either. They are living in a perpetual Truman Show, a world constructed yesterday that is nothing more than a set for their solipsism, without any history or trajectory.

Hillary Clinton emails


3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department on New Year’s Eve, contain damning evidence of Western nations using NATO as a tool to topple Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi.

 The NATO overthrow was not for the protection of the people, but instead it was to thwart Gaddafi’s attempt to create a gold-backed African currency to compete with the Western central banking monopoly.+ 

 The emails indicate the French-led NATO military initiative in Libya was also driven by a desire to gain access to a greater share of Libyan oil production, and to undermine a long term plan by Gaddafi to supplant France as the dominant power in the Francophone Africa region. 
 The April 2011 email, sent to the Secretary of State Hillary by unofficial adviser and longtime Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal with the subject line “France’s client and Qaddafi’s gold,” reveals predatory Western intentions. 

The Foreign Policy Journal reports: The email identifies French President Nicholas Sarkozy as leading the attack on Libya with five specific purposes in mind: 

1: to obtain Libyan oil, 

2: ensure French influence in the region, 

3: increase Sarkozy’s reputation domestically,

4: assert French military power, 

5:  to prevent Gaddafi’s influence in what is considered “Francophone Africa.” 

 Most astounding is the lengthy section delineating the huge threat that Gaddafi’s gold and silver reserves, estimated at “143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver,” posed to the French franc (CFA) circulating as a prime African currency. 

The email makes clear that intelligence sources indicate the impetus behind the French attack on Libya was a calculated move to consolidate greater power, using NATO as a tool for imperialist conquest, not a humanitarian intervention as the public was falsely led to believe. 

  According to the email: This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA). 

 (Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya.) 

The email provides a peek behind the curtain to reveal how foreign policy is often carried out in practice. While reported in the media that the Western backed Libyan military intervention is necessary to save human lives, the real driving factor behind the intervention was shown to be the fact that Gaddafi planned to create a high degree of economic independence with a new pan-African currency, which would lessen French influence and power in the region. 

The evidence indicates that when French intelligence became aware of the Libyan initiative to create a currency to compete with the Western central banking system, the decision to subvert the plan through military means began, ultimately including the NATO alliance.
It always WAS and always will be...
All about the money...
