Mass Shootings: Whose Fault Are They Anyway

Here we go, another breaking news story of a person with a gun shooting people in LAX airport in Los Angeles. This is just a couple of days after a man in North Carolina is found with 24 bombs in his fortress like home.

What is horrific is that these stories don’t shock us! They are becoming more and more common place. We get mad and we spend a few days analyzing the sensational aspects of the incident but it’s one news day away from being less a matter.

LAX Shooting Suspect Paul Ciancia Had Anti-Government and New World Order Literature on His Person.?

In their reporting NBC news hinted to the fact that maybe the shooter was targeting Transportation Security Authority workers. (TSA)

The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the material recovered from Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, after the shootout at LAX appeared to have been prepared by a group called ?New World Order.? One source said it also expressed animus toward racial minorities. (Source NBC News)

The New World Order saga is nothing new. There are millions of good people who feel that the decrees or theories of the New World Order are real and with recent international developments many more could soon follow. But, just like any well-intended movements, there inevitably comes the fringe, radical, racist, zealots that are now back by big money that have quite frankly gone batty.

On Wednesday, a Wilmington, NC man,?Erik Rudolph Arnebold, 37, was arrested ?outside his home in Wilmington, N.C., and charged with multiple counts of possession of a weapon of mass destruction and single counts of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to court documents.

Police indicated they had no idea why Arnebold had the arsenal inside his barricaded dwelling.

Twenty-three other explosive devices were found behind a trap door under the floor, Allsbrook said. He wouldn’t detail what kind of devices they were but said at least 12 of them contained lead shot, presumably to serve as shrapnel. (Capt. Jeff Allsbrook, Wilmington, NC Police Dept.)

Obstruction Plus Fear-Mongering Times Racism Equals Violence!??

Let’s face it! America has a mental health problem. Even though, that is an entirely different issue it plays a part in why we see so many death by guns in so many different ways. But, with our country becoming so polarized by politics and media reporting of politics, we all may need to pause and take a look at the nuances that might be creating these individuals, and groups of individuals, to act out with such violence and disdain of their government under the guise of loss of freedom and dignity.

However, the end results of this is embolden lawmakers at all levels of government knowing they are safe back home in their gerrymandered safe zone to obstruct, distort, lie, filibuster, and stop Obama at all cost mentality.

Obstruction?

?Something that blocks. To close up with an obstacle.?

Sabotage

?Any underhanded interference. Any undermining of a cause.?

Sound familiar! ?It should. What’s really different now than in the past is how out in the open this blatant institutional form of racism has manifested itself over Obamacare.

So, while our tax dollars are being spent on debating why the sites are not working right after years of trying to wreck them, the Republicans are up to their same old slash and burn politics with yet another phase in their obstruction.

Block Obama’s?Judicial?Nominees

Most of these appointments historically have been routine. However, these times we are in now are historic. America has a black president and a racist element in the opposing party that don’t even consider him their president,

It seems these elements have no fear of reprisals at the polls because the obstruction is ongoing right now with very little fanfare. Moreover, the Tea Party and far-right elements of the Republican Party are bumping their chest over this exercise.

For example:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) recently?announced?he was going to block all Obama nominations until he got more answers about the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi. Although as CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin?noted, Republicans block Obama picks as a matter of general principle, so it’s not like Graham even needs a stated reason for the obstruction.??Source (Mother Jones)

It’s funny how just this week a key witness in that case backed track on his story.

All this stems from the Senate Republicans filibuster, historic I might add, which shot down the nomination of. Rep. Melvin Watt (D-N.C.) to become?director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

What goes unreported is the total misuse and abuse of the filibuster by the Republicans. Famously, we remember the Ted Cruz affair. The Democrats need to step up and challenge their legality is it not odd that Republicans barely give reason for a filibuster which is not par for course but it has been of late.

The?New York Times?reported?that while judicial nominations remain an issue of deep contention, “Among senators of both parties, there is agreement that a president should be granted deference in picking members of his cabinet and top executive branch positions.”

This has not been the case under Obama on any legislation period. How have the Tea Party and far right-wing zealots been able to pull this off?

In a phrase, Fear-Mongering! ?From Obama was not born in this country, to Obama is a Muslim, Obama is Hitler, Obama is the anti-Christ, Obama the dictator and candlestick maker. What does fear mongering feed Racism?

Creating these antidotes, theses adjectives to Obama and by age-old propaganda tactics of lie?keep to the lie and people will start to believe the lie has been an easy sale to a racist person.

How does all this tie end together this writer would say it’s like a soup, when you mix all these ingredients together there is a result and it either taste good or its taste bad.

With the obstruction and fear-mongering feeding an already racist sector of America that has always been there, who have craved themselves nice little safe zones to practice their trade, and you couple that with a growing society ?with serious mental health issues with poor gun control laws to boot our political behavior, and moreover our political reporting even though not intentional but some would debate that are very much responsible in my view for igniting these unstable people to do unstable acts by way of unstable thinking.

Practical formulated political strategies to obstruct the overall common good and will of the people is a boiling point for violence the real end product and the tie in to this story. How our actions can influence unstable people to do unstable things.

The bottom line is the TSA people shot and killed yesterday were human beings, working to make a better life for themselves and their families. They were not monsters they were not boogie people. They are and in one case were someone’s child, husband, wife, father, mother etc.

When a system of government works itself into self-imposed gridlock and the blame game is in effect, and you factor in the big money influence to fuel the fire, what we get as a side effect is a polarized volatile populist who, like the shooter yesterday, had text his brother a day prior and said he was going to kill himself; fueled by the politics of fear-mongering decide to take a few along with him for the cause.

Reminds me of a song.
