    Are we still discussing the recent school shooting and Youth violence? I have noted quite a few mentions of Crisis Actors via the worldeideweb. I also had a face to face conversation with a friend who has lived in America for two decades. The information - for me - is overwhelmingly in the direction of false flag/psy op/black op/whatever.

    I note that the worldwideweb conversation now has a focus on giving arms to Teachers. What in the name of the Universe is that all about? The social media stance seems to be polarised. My point of view - and - I realise that my point of view will differ to others ... is that it appears that more and more People are waking up. More and more People are asking questions, they are rousing.

    Video clips of young people who had just seen their school friends shot - and - they are smiling and almost laughing. No blood on any clothing. The news reports are flawed. The young people/students/crisis actors/whatever - even mentioned the drills/rehearsals and the blank bullets that were used ....

    Something is not right and now the public are polarised (from my perspective) about guns and who should have them.... Isn't that the pattern of Heligian Dialect? Create a problem (false flag/psy op/black op/whatever) - then - the cabal/illuminati/whatever stand up in front of microphones and media cameras and speak a lot of rhetoric and then propose a solution to the problem.

    This thread has been a very interesting read and will continue to be such methinks. Aragorn and others speaking out about their time in schools. I am always saddened to learn that People had such difficult times at school. Again I am thrust into the world of Children - as a Child Abuse Whistleblower - it rears its head all the time.


    Guns and Students and guns and Teachers. Why can't the gun manufacturers start producing something other than weapons??? I suppose that proposition is too easy and too full of positivity. The paradigm in which we live - and - the paradigm in which the Children of today will inherit is decidedly dangerous. We can change the course of our evolution. I see small changes daily and that is what spurs me on.

    Good for You Nothing - commencing such a thought provoking thread with a range of twists and turns.

    Much Peace & Much Respect - Amanda

    Much of the 'crisis actor' info is part of propaganda and disinfo. The likely culprits are govt. agencies and the trolls from Russia.

    Crisis actors are not capable of the following:

    In nine days, survivors have:

    Forced companies to disassociate themselves from the NRA
    Forced a town hall where they asked tougher questions of a US Senator on guns than anyone else has
    Pressured Trump and Republican governors to propose gun control/safety legislation
    Led nationwide walkouts
    Raised millions for their cause

    I'd just like to say how interesting it was to read all the thoughtful contributions on this thread - great to
    hear everyone's viewpoints (I hope I didn't miss thanking anyone ... )

    I was reading a piece of research recently by Adam Lankford, Professor of Criminal Behaviour at the University of Alabama,
    that really made me think. His research - carried out in 171 countries - identifies a correlation between number of mass shootings
    in the US and the astronomical number of guns in that country.

    Americans make up about 4.4 percent of the global population but own 42 percent of the world’s guns.

    He’s written masses of published articles and it’s well worth reading his findings. http://adamlankford.com/research.htm

    There are only 3 countries in the world (US, Guatemala and Mexico) that begin with the assumption that people have an inherent right to own guns.
    The United States has determined that relatively unregulated gun ownership is worth the cost to society, and that choice has to be respected.

    But that choice that has a very, very high cost. As Dan Hodges, a British journalist, wrote: “Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.”

    The US began as the result of a war. We've had a "Culture of War" ever since. Since 1700, the US has been in 79 wars. Remember the book by the gentleman who wrote "War Is a Racket"? Also, fairly recently a female psychologist/psychiatrist wrote a book entitled "When Society Becomes the Addict". Rather telling title, wouldn't you say?

    Not to misunderstand the meaning of 'niceness' in her context. She, I believe anyway, is referring to the meaning of 'niceness' in the traditional female manner. 'Sublimation' of one's internal intuitive sense of truth and lies to seem non-confrontational.

    I would characterize her dualistic thinking as indicative of double-bind thinking as one is stuck with no way out. Unless, pursuing her 3rd course.

    I agree with her...that was good and 'very nice' ...

    This one's for you Mr. Steeves:

    A gun owner is 4 times more likely to accidentally shoot themselves than defend themselves in a legitimate attack.
    A gun owner is 7 times more likely to assault or commit murder than self defend.
    A gun owner is 11 times more likely to kill themselves with a gun than self defend

    Here's my proposition:

    The battle lines are drawn against gun-advocates and gun-statistic freaks. We need to draw the lines differently.

    Most strong advocates of no gun control are rural. Most violent gun encounters occur in urban areas. Why not restrict guns within city limits of say urban population areas of greater than 200-300 thousand citizens. Rural areas need guns for personal safety due to not having access to services that more urbanized areas do...police, military, firefolks, emt's, etc. After all, even in Dodge City, Kansas in the 1800's Earp and Matt Dillon required turning over the 'shootin' irons' when entering the city.

    Secure the perimeters. Alarm the doors. Limit entry and exit. Scan for metal.

    Don't know what to do about 3-D printing.
