    Guns do save lives. You know this to be true.

    The raw yearly figures leftists like to cite for US gun violence are about the same as traffic accidents. Yet, when you suggest the same fervent pressure should be applied to abolishing cars as abolishing guns, you get dumb looks, followed by education on the religious, spiritual differences of the two things.

    The dead people in traffic weren’t victims?

    (how quickly we retract to the most spartan, minimalist definition of “victims of” when the argument is about disarming normal people where, just a second ago, it was like, the system man,like the culture, victimizing and we need to eliminate 1mm raising of white eyebrows because it might be aggression or racism….)

    Their lives weren’t just as precious as people who got shot?

    (denial PLUS education from holier-than-thou that yes people shot ARE more special, precious, holy-blessed… both at the same time!)

    So then I point out that HALF of US gun deaths are suicide – weren’t you JUST A MINUTE BEFORE complimenting Canadian health care and the right to suicide? And americans figured out a quick, painless way to do it without all that bureucracy and taxes? Ohhh but if it is an individual deciding privately for themselves that’s wrong and guns make it ICKY. Gotcha

    35k/yr -17.5k suicides = 17.5k deaths – 8,750 deaths that were criminals being shot by police or citizens in self defense = 8,750 deaths vs 35,000 traffic deaths a year.

    I get that people who die from a bullet are surrounded in a holy penumbra and people who die in traffic are not, I understand this after you explained, but surely you aren’t saying people who die of a bullet are over FOUR TIMES more valuable than people who die in some other way? These are still PEOPLE with feelings and thoughts, dreams, families, a future that was cut off? Surely a bullet doesn’t make you 4x superior to all other humans???? Is 50 Cent like, 150000x superior to all other humans or did he need to die to achieve that?

    Denial and MORE education of the thing that was just denied and I ought to believe and am icky for not believing. NO I am not saying they are more holy and you damn well better believe that they are.

    So then I explain that they are ignoring 99% of Gun Violence.

    Governments with monopolies on guns, purely by use of guns, killed 150 million in the 20th century alone. That doesn’t even count the tens of millions enslaved at gunpoint, the loss of free speech by hundreds of millions, the tens of millions of refugees created.

    We SHOULD count the entire human cost of 99% of gun violence, but focusing on JUST deaths

    150,000,000 deaths, which are NOT by any means a comprehensive figure on gun deaths / 8,750 deaths of victims from guns in the USA per year = IT WOULD TAKE 17,142 YEARS for US gun deaths to equal just the foreign gun deaths from 1920-1999.

    And IN those 17,142 years, governments with gun monopolies would have racked up hundreds of millions of MORE gun deaths, enslavements, refugee crises, etc.

    Face it, US gun deaths will never ever catch up to everyone else’s gun deaths.

    Because armed citizens prevent gun deaths.

    You don’t go with unlimited death instead of very limited death because you realized reality can never be absolutely perfect, that there are always trade-offs and you cannot possibly bear it. Unless you’re a fool or evil or both.

    Since it came up just this day: School Shootings are the same.

    Like half? Are suicides on the property, accidentally discharged firearms and so on. Like “Gun Deaths” they know this isn’t true, that we MEAN something completely different by these words, they just don’t care.

    ….but INDIVIDUAL decision and use of firearms is ICKY.

    And as they WELL KNOW, the whole point of individual gun ownership IS to block Authority from committing gun violence, and resisting Authority and Experts is icky….

    ..use or mere existence of individual-ownership firearms is most icky indeed, intrinsically, since it limits Authority and Experts. (the ones who commit 99.9% of gun violence) Authority gun-monopoly hesitance. The ultimate ick.

    On reddit, ‘TheDeprogram’ is now banned. Any evidence there that Kirk was nuanced in his view upon “God’s chosen people ” s no longer publicly viewable. Interesting.

    If further evidence also disappears on the internet over the next few hours and days, then this would be most telling, wouldn’t it?

    “Inflaming Tensions, Trump Threatens Political Left With Retribution Over Killing of Charlie Kirk”

    if you’re able to comment at the site, i’d give this man a round of applause and make sure others see his post:

    “Another thing going on here is that the broadly defined left does not appreciate the extent to which it enjoyed cultural dominance for the past half-century, and so cannot understand the degree that this is now gone everywhere except legacy media, academia and entertainment. Not understanding this, and rebelling at the very notion of it, goes along with not know who Charlie Kirk was or why his murder is a big deal… and far worse for the left than the right.

    The dominance of broadly left liberal ideas produced a situation which students of colonialism will recognize: the colonized understood the colonizer much better than the latter understands the former. And themselves.

    The broadly defined right is now no longer captive to milquetoast conservatism and more importantly is using tactics the left pioneered. Among these are the politicization of everything, a reflexive friend/enemy distinction, instant iconization and subsequent canonization of politically suitable deaths, and maniacal unconscious projection. The fact that many on the left actually believe they do not do any of this underscores their problem.

    What all this means is that the left is now facing an opponent that operates much more like itself, but cannot see this because it cannot see itself clearly.”

    The instantaneous response that PRECEDED the response on the Right was the Left crying out for civility and accusing the Right of being everything bad the Left is.

    They aren’t sincere yet about civil society and by their precognition, are aware of what they are doing.

    All that is required to end what is coming – which the Left HOPES will mirror themselves, but won’t – is to LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS AND REJOIN CIVIL SOCIETY. Be fucking DECENT. Everything is downstream from culture. If you want the good things that are emergent from culture, you can “capture” them ALL for free, unlimited, in a totally NON zero sum game, by acculturating.

    The disappearing evidence is indication of PR and perception management. Pieces of a puzzle.

    Israel cannot afford to look bad right now. Kirk’s former statements in support of them must outlive any opinions that he had to the contrary.

    I am not too sure that they might have been responsible so, as much as I despise Bibi, I must reserve my accusations for someone who is a more likely culprit. The NAFO guys seem a more likely match from where I’m standing.

    What changed with Charlie Kirk being assassinated by the Left was, I am willing to say what the Left openly started saying a decade ago. Kneel Before Zod motherfuckers. Acculturate or flee to socialist shitholes or the deminished sociology depts of your shitty universities. And I am not talking about violence.

    THEY say fighting is the evil, because they don’t want us to fight. But the values of the fighters and the reason for fighting are what actually, always matter. Which is why they point at fighting. And I am not talking about violence.

    The difference between us is that they will like us when we win.

    Charlie Kirk’s support for Israel:

    Let’s put this in context, can we? I don’t know about you, but at the age of 30 I didn’t know my ass from a hold in the ground. Unless you were lucky enough to be born outside the Matrix, or your parents were well informed on the nature of the world, you were programmed to accept certain beliefs. I’m guessing that Charlie Kirk was no different. Even with a keen mind, it takes a great deal of life experience to start putting the pieces together. The development of the human mind is a process. It takes time, and volumes of input to synthesize the ideas that eventually supplant the original programming.

    Just when was it that Jason obtained the golden fleece? At the beginning of the journey or the end?

    Like the new prospector who sets out with his burro and shiny new pickaxe, he will walk over acres of raw diamonds in search of his fortune just over the horizon.

    If Charlie Kirk was truly a lover of truth he would have eventually come around. Any dogma or false loyalty in his programming would have been jettisoned. He would have had his ‘dark night of the soul’ with its disillusionment and depression, and risen a new man.

    Because his life was cut short, we will never know. I think he was well on his way, though. But like Socrates, he had a ‘corrupting’ influence on the youth, and therefore had to be eliminated.

    Charlie Kirk is what JD Hamel Vance Bowman BLANTON wanted to be, A Spellbinder, both Have/Had Heads Made for TV.

    Two bad signs, Ritter in his corner AND comms with Benjie Netanyahu, are not indicative of stable mental health nor nuanced attributes worthy of anyone’s FollowerShipspersonHood.

    Two good things about Charlie ARE he apparently loved his two children and He made JD Vance BLANTON Bowman Hamel insanely jealous of the One Thing James Donald will never have, Appeal to Some Young People.

    Nevertheless:


      think of how utterly deranged this is. Israel routinely and intentionally kills Americans like Rachel Corrie, and the political class not only doesn’t condemn it, they keep funding, arming and bowing to it. And the media class doesn’t care at all. Zionists own the US and West
      they killed American aid workers like Jacob Flickinger during the ongoing genocide. The Israeli death-cult admitted they deliberately killed him. And it was immediately memory-holed by the Zionist media class. Here is his partner talking about how no one from the US government

      How can a group within America openly threaten police, use violence against police, throw Molotov cocktails, bricks and explosive fireworks at police.  Use batons, shields, bats and physical violence against police and federal law enforcement; destroy vehicles, set cars on fire, destroy property, trash and block the streets and create chaos…. Completely without being stopped?

    This Spectacle is a distraction from something very big.

    Is it this, a destruction of 4th Amendment Constitutional Rights by none other than The Supremes?

    Who knew your job “is a protected right” AND at the same time be Fair Game under The At Will Workplace as part of Capitalism’s sense of corporate Governance.
    There’s no Democracy in the workplace, stupid, or how else would there be profit for me.


      First: The Fourth Amendment”, Sotomayor concluded, “prohibits exactly what the government is attempting to do here: ‘seize individuals based solely on a set of facts that ‘describes a very large category of presumably innocent’ people.”

      *******

      Even if nothing else was taking place at this perilous moment, the September 8 SCOTUS decision to temporarily suspend both a presumption of innocence as well as the right, previously guaranteed by the 4th Amendment, not to be seized absent a reasonable suspicion of unlawful status, is deeply disturbing. Taken in context of recent events, the Court’s decision on the “shadow docket” poses an ominous threat.

      The decision was handed down after the “dangerous sociopath”, President Donald J. Trump, threatened to arrest California Gov. Gavin Newsom, one of his chief political rivals. More importantly, perhaps, it was handed down shortly after Trump threatened to use the U.S. military to invade Chicago.

      If the same SCOTUS majority goes on to temporarily suspend the Order issued on September 2nd by U.S. District Court Judge Charles E. Breyer, that enjoined Trump’s use of the military to engage in local law enforcement without the consent of State and local authorities — an action that Breyer ruled to be in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act — it could hasten a bitter end to federalism and to our constitutional republic…

      As Justice Sonia Sotomayor explained in a powerful dissent, joined Justices Kagan and Jackson, a U.S. District Court found “ample evidence” that Latinos, including both lawful residents and U.S. citizens, were swept-up in mass raids and incarcerated based solely on one or more of four enumerated factors: ethnicity, speaking Spanish or English with an accent, their location or the type of work they engaged in.

      In accordance with the 4th Amendment, Sotomayor noted, the District Court issued a temporary restraining order that “enjoined [ICE] from conducting detentive stops…unless the agent or officer has reasonable suspicion that the person stopped is within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law.” Both the District Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that none of the four enumerated factors, alone or in combination, establish the “reasonable suspicion” needed to justify an arrest.

      The Fourth Amendment…prohibits exactly what the Government is attempting to do here: seize individuals based solely on a set of facts that “describe(s) a very large category of presumably innocent” people.”

    The Charlie Kirk assassination stories are breaking fast, and the primary suspect, Tyler Robinson 22, was convinced by his father to turn himself in. This means that many details will be forthcoming. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/charlie-kirk-shooter-manhunt-live-updates-rcna230762

    There is video here if you scroll down halfway of a man in black running across the roof of the building and scampering down to the grass in back with a black bag that would hold a rifle broken down into 2 pieces, by the looks of it. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/day-3-charlie-kirks-assassin-still-large-new-footage-released-gop-demanding-probe-radical

    There is a thread that the assassination was faked, but the crowd video that is provided with a video post asserting Holleywood faking, can be quickly frame-clicked through from 6:44 to see the shock to Kirk’s body, a left anterior neck, dark bullet entry wound, and then blood exiting that dark hole. I’m convinced it is real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw1Rdh8sOLM&rco=1

    “Post from 09/08/2025 on the “Cartel” channel warning about the preparation of a provocation involving the sending of “pseudo-Russian” UAVs to the West. Actually, the plan was already carried out on September 10.”
    ​ But how do we reconcile the fact that Belarus essentially admitted that wayward Russian drones were flying to Poland with this false flag angle? More likely it was a combination of all possible tactics, from real jammed drones to “prepared” ones that were made to look like they originated from Russia, as well as an information campaign to distribute fakes like the earlier ‘destroyed home’.
    ​ One explanation:
    ​ In Poland, the wreckage of 12 Gerber UAVs was found during the day. All without a warhead, did not explode. Expensive missiles costing more than $ 2 million each were used to destroy some of them. In particular, the F-35A of the Dutch Air Force worked like this.
    ​ The most popular version is that the “Gerber” “mismatch” encountered a GPS blockade over one of Ukraine’s air defense areas and flew to Poland (spoofing?). Gerbers are not equipped with 16-element CRPA antennas (ed: these are the special 16-element Komet GPS receivers now regularly seen in Shahed/Geran drones).
    ​ According to the second version, the Gerbers were launched from Ukraine. This version is supported by the large number of Gerber products, which exceeds 1,000. This is not typical for them.
    ​ The intent is obvious: another desperate ploy from Zelensky to get NATO involved, even if in small stepwise fashion.​ https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/russian-drones-allegedly-swarm-poland

    ​ (​Implied) Turkey In Netanyahu’s Crosshairs For Harboring Hamas, After Qatar Strike​
    ​ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended a recent airstrike on what Israel says was a Hamas headquarters in Doha, comparing the October 7 attacks to the September 11 terror attacks in the United States. The speech was given in the middle of this week, just before the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, warning that Hamas leaders will be hunted down wherever they are located, and putting countries like Qatar and even Turkey on notice.
    ​ Turkey has long expressed support to Hamas leadership. Though Netanyahu did not directly name Turkey, observers interpreted his remarks as a veiled threat to Ankara, which has long hosted senior Hamas officials.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/turkey-netanyahus-crosshairs-harboring-hamas-after-qatar-strike

    ​ Tensions rise as Egypt rejects Netanyahu’s remarks on Rafah crossing

    ​ “Israel” maintains plausible deniability: On the night of September 8-9, just after midnight, a boat that is part of a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza was struck by an incendiary device off the coast of Tunisia. Members of the Global Sumud Flotilla say they heard a drone flying three or four metres above their heads before the device hit, causing a fire that damaged the boat but caused no injuries. A drone expert said that such devices can be dropped by commercially available consumer drones. https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20250909-gaza-flotilla-drone-attack-expert-analysis-greta-thunberg

    ​ Conor McGregor Slams Government ‘Traitors’ Pushing to Replace Irish With Migrants.
    UFC legend and Irish presidential contender Conor McGregor has slammed Ireland’s Finance Minister as a “traitor” for saying mass migration is needed to solve Ireland’s demographic problems.​..

    ​ Martin Armstrong: The Motive for Nepal’s Revolution
    ​The final straw for the revolution in Nepal was the government’s attempt to stifle free speech by banning social media platforms. These events did not take place because a few kids had their tablets taken away. Extreme government corruption ran rampant for years while the elite lived luxurious lifestyles in spite of the people they ruled over.
    ​ The Nepalese government attempted to prevent the people from freely voicing their growing discontent, and then, when the people attempted to protest, the government murdered over 20 school-aged children in cold blood.
    ​ The media has poorly portrayed the cause of events by calling it the “Gen Z” revolution, sparked by a social media ban, which is entirely misleading, as the culprit was corruption and poverty. One in four citizens lives below the poverty line, with the average Nepali earning $1,400 USD annually. The poorest 20% spend around 67% of their income on food, and, much like most nations, in 2025, the majority is struggling to maintain the cost of living.​ https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/the-motive-for-nepals-revolution/

    Evil captures public-hospital profit-centers with lies and bribery: Chicago Hospital’s Closure Is a Canary in the Coal Mine for Corporatized Health Care
    If there is one lesson to be learned from the story of the private equity acquisition of hospitals, it is that there is a fundamental contradiction at the heart of this endeavor: While communities expect these entities to prioritize their interests over profits, as corporate entities, private equity firms are set up to prioritize profits. Invariably, the path of private equity ownership seems to end with hospital precarity or closure. If the vulnerable populations served by a safety-net hospital such as Weiss are to be served, why not circumvent this process and convert hospitals such as Weiss to public hospitals operated by the county, or at least by a nonprofit entity such as a university? https://scheerpost.com/2025/09/10/chicago-hospitals-closure-is-a-canary-in-the-coal-mine-for-corporatized-health-care/

    TCTH says Charlie Kirk has “skillset” that will be hard to replace….talking versus writing now there’s projection of the inner object state.
    ie. What I can’t do you can’t do either! How did he just do it?

    Absolutely. It is nonsense talk. And everybody avoids Kirk’s true identity and what motivated him; he was first and foremost an evangelical christian.

    @Aspnaz:Persia had over 5000 years of civilization.

    Indeed. China had the same. China developed itself. Saudi and Qatar spent billions hiring muslim asians to be their slaves so that they did not have to do any of the hard work. They imported workers rather than turn their own people into first class workers. Having worked in Saudi I have seen it first hand, despite all the money, the country is a third world shit hole. The leaders have no ambitions for their countries, they just tick over and nothing much happens. Sure, MBS (the ultimate trust fund kid) talks about building modern cities in northern Saudi, but that will not change the people into a first world nation. I suspect this has much more to do with strict enforcement of their religion than with their nomadic past.
