    "Parkland Players' & their Puppeteers"


    The "Parkland Players" & their adult puppeteers are not interested in measures that will really solve the problem of both school shootings and America's homicide rate because the true solutions don't involve banning scary guns.

    Unfit parents and stingy politicians get a free pass by blaming an inanimate object for their laziness & unwillingness to both know whats' going on with their kids and spend money on enhanced school security as well as identifying & treating disturbed children.
    200 years ago, simple minded opportunists simply burned a "witch" to solve their communal problems.

    Today, simple minds rush to ban inanimate objects after learning nothing from Prohibition & our dismally failed "War on Drugs"

    You could also assume Andrew Jackson thought this op was funny as all hell. I sure did! Where ever desperation hits the right wing, a conspiracy theory soon follows. Much like starving men might make a stew out of mice, plant roots, some canteen water and some salt. You guys are doing the best you can, with what you have. I do empathize with your PR problem.

    The last sentence was a bold face lie, but... I 'll try to empathize.



    Tried.

    The left has coalesced around two or three telegenic kids and funded the crap out of them and brought all their NGO support group into play also.
    That's what the progressive left does. It's classic astroturfing, the sort of thing they always screamed about with the Tea Party people then
    but don't bring the subject up. They will vent their spleens on whoever has the nerve and clear vision to tell the truth.

    Unfortunately for them they didn't count on Steve Israel and his Keystone Kops sheriffs department. Is it a coincidence that this shooting took place in the middle of the biggest leftist enclave in Florida? I have my doubts.

    We were here on day one telling you people that the "protest" or "movement" or whatever bleeding heart label you want to to use was a professionally constructed one.

    You guys were all like "nuh uhh nah uhhhh its the power of meaaaa and feelings and meaaaa social justice meaaa".

    You were played.

    Leftist go around spewing stupidity about "being in the pocket of the NRA" when all along it was they who were just tools of the DNC fundraising machine.

    Get rekt.

    The right is notorious for victim blaming.

    Nothing new here.

    I know a few people who still believe 19 arabs with box cutters caused what we saw on that fateful day, but I personally do not know a single soul who believes the earth is flat. It is not flat, and a display of ignorance on that issue is NOT related to conspiracy among humans. It is ignorance, pure and simple.

    i don't feel anything because i don't expect or really care if anything is real at all anymore. i'm hyperaware of the fact that i and all other people in america am constantly bombarded with illusions and manipulation. thus, all i really care about anymore is ends.

    Some things are real, some are illusions. Trying to discern between the two is an avocation of mine. Hence I watch MSM and read headlines to discover how they want me to think.

    you're also told who the MSM are by other media outlets and what it means to discern. you don't have any tools you can trust here.

    my problem with the term MSM is that it's universally used to dismiss criticisms about the unreliability of media by implicitly saying "yes, you're right about those nasty mainstream outlets, but not the ones I trust". there's room for conflict in the mainstream. che guevara t-shirts came into existence for a reason. it's much easier to control people by allowing a very lively conflict in a very narrow spectrum, keep them engaged with something flashy, always going too fast to stop and think about where they're going.

    At age 70, I am confident in my ability to discern MSM from independent sources. I have been indoctrinated by the best of them, and so I can usually recognize propaganda pretty quickly.

    But you do raise excellent points.

    Sadly, and much to my chagrin, it took me 2 weeks to understand that this Parkland event is yet another propaganda putsch, a false flag meant to advance gun control.

    The "Parkland Players" & their vulturine & wealthy adult puppeteers forfeited any claims to be pitiful "victims" the moment that they became enemies of the Constitution & obnoxious shills for the decades old Gun Ban Lobbies.

    This tragedy occurred because the 40,000 existing gun control laws were ignored, as usual, and local officials refused to do their jobs.

    The disconnect between the message and their hysteria is similar to kneeling during the anthem. The players said specifically they are not doing it as a sign of disrespect for the military but the alt right just kept pushing that false narrative. Now the shooting victims ask for gun reform and the alt right pushes the lie and false narrative that liberals are trying to ban guns... FALSE. The mindless sheep on the alt right are so easy to whip up into a frenzy so Alex Jones can sell more dick pills it's really sad and pathetic.

    I'll raise you one, and say this tragedy occurred because some wicked person or group PLANNED and executed it, and I hate to say it, but it appears that somebody in law enforcement assisted in the planning. Some medics and first responders were apparently told to NOT enter the building after they arrived.

    Maybe, just maybe, the concern here uniformly focused at the wrong thing. These kids, (who generally are considered children by the left for economic and political reasons) are now being advanced as precocious. Capable of clear, and cogent thought, public discourse and all. But, hey, they aren't mentally mature enough, though, still, right?

    The second part of this is why the young Cruz was allowed to get through so many altercations with the law, without having a permanent blemish on his record that might have prevented him from being able to purchase weapons, of find the mental health support he both needed and was excluded by. Our well meaning progressive crowd seem unable to answer even the most basic of questions as to why this occurred, and frankly, why they, specifically, implemented the system that produced this rather unseemly crack. So why is this?

    It begs the question, was this just a useful accident? Or was this yet another calculated recipe? The involvement of so many, like Big Debbie, and funding coordination so rapidly seems, well, unseemly in it's speed, and it's scale. It seems to dare folks to want to ignore that it was these same progressive voices that created the situation in the first place.

    I, too wouldn't be surprised if you're right about the incident being planned because the more closely you look at this tragedy, the more it smells. I suspected that the "Parkland Players" were simply well scripted puppets of the decades old Gun Ban Lobbies after noting the speed with which they were bussed to Florida's capital & handed microphones.

    Now, they've become "spokesvictims" for the DNC:

    Too many coincidences....

    There was a couple thousand kids in that school but you only care about when a few vocal ones speak... Be honest.... These few kids push your agenda so they are the only ones you give a damn about. That and you try to silence any dissent with your "omg you hate the shooting victims" line of bullshit.
