Big Lie that ‘mass shootings’ like Sandy Hook require public gun confiscation must be flipped: arrest .01% US rogue state leaders to confiscate THEIR guns for shooting millions in lie-started illegal Wars of Aggression, assassinating JFK, RFK, MLK, etc., etc.

“Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” – James Madison, “Political Observations” (1795–04-20); also in Letters and Other Writings of James Madison (1865), Vol. IV, p. 491.

99 seconds of Hillary Clinton campaigning for an American policy to end the 2nd Amendment, confiscate public guns, and put those who fail to comply into prison:

This essay has three parts:

1. The US is an illegal rogue state empire engaging in forever wars, all started on easily-proved lies, and so obviously illegal that all involved are Oath-bound to refuse all associated orders because there are no lawful orders for unlawful wars. American illegal Wars of Aggression have war-murdered over 30 million since WW2; more than the Nazis. This empire assassinates those who challenge their lies and crimes, including President Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the person who would have been elected President in 1968: Robert Kennedy.
2. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment is public defense against their own rogue state government. What created America was sufficient public recognition that their own government were imperialist liars and looters, then revolution to restore limited government, and this time under a constitutional republic. Our first revolution began when our own rogue state attempted public gun confiscation with an illegal standing army. The argument of "gun confiscation" must be reversed: the public needs to disarm US .01% rogue state “leadership” to stop their ongoing crimes of lie-started illegal Wars of Aggression.
3. Sandy Hook is an apparent false flag event for the purpose of propagandizing Americans for gun confiscation. A recent civil trial from an alleged Sandy Hook father against defendants who challenged the authenticity of a death certificate had the judge violate that state's constitution to deny a jury trial, suppress two expert witnesses clear evidence of multiple areas of apparent forgery on the death certificate (and Social Security card), then lie that the facts were of the case were not in contention to declare summary judgement. This was a show trial of dictatorial government. Please see this documentation for yourself. Since this was a tragic-comic suppression of evidence, one must conclude the coverup is because the real purpose of a "shooting" was what immediately followed: gun confiscation legislation and rhetoric. The lawsuit was to stop independent research and communication such as the book Nobody Died at Sandy Hook, edited by defendants Jim Fetzer and Mike Palecek, with chapters by thirteen experts, including six Ph.D. professors. Here is a free online version of the book: see the evidence for yourself.

1. US Illegal: proving the rogue state everyone senses beyond the propaganda

The historical data of US rogue state empire is both taught in comprehensive history classes, and so accepted that it is not even challenged for accuracy as far as I know.  That said, this history of American illegal empire is unknown to most Americans due to corporate media and public education textbook lies of omission and commission. 

I will debate anyone interested who challenges this data. 

The challenge, however, is we face “official” silence as illustrated in this one example: just six US corporations control ~90% of what Americans get for news. MIT’s Simon Johnson (and former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund) describes our big banks being led by gambling oligarchs who have captured government as in “banana republics” (his words). He concludes fraud is the heart of Wall Street. His best-selling book, 13 Bankers: The Wall Street takeover and the next financial meltdown, was discussed with over 30 Emmy Award-winning journalist Bill Moyers to explain the US banking system, loss of trillions of American taxpayer dollars to oligarchs’ manipulation as a matter of definitive fact, the looting of America being protected by partners with political muscle, and rational consideration of the facts proving massive financial crimes:

SIMON JOHNSON: The American democracy was not given to us on a platter. It is not ours for all time, irrespective of our efforts. Either people organize and they find political leadership to take this on, or we are going to be in big trouble, okay?… That’s absolutely the heart of the problem. I would also say and tell you, and emphasize, these people will not come out and debate with us. The heads of these companies or their representatives, they will not come out. They’re afraid. They don’t have the substance. They don’t have the arguments. We have the evidence. They have the lobbyists. And that’s all they have.

BILL MOYERS: They’ve got the power, the muscle, the money.

SIMON JOHNSON: They have money.

BILL MOYERS: You just have the arguments. You just have the facts. On your side.

SIMON JOHNSON: Absolutely. That’s exactly what it comes down to. 

If you’re interested in having the history of US illegal rogue state empire clearly and professionally explained and documented, along with the lies you’re told by “officials” to cover those massive crimes that annually kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions (and here, here), please explore the links. 

Central to seeing the US rogue state is to see their public assassinations that include President Kennedy, Dr. Martin King, and Bobby Kennedy (among hundreds). That evidence is overwhelming, uncontested because the facts are all on one side, yet unknown to most Americans because all they receive is official denial with scorn, hiding evidence for "national security," or lies. I document the evidence in an “interview” with those three to emphasize that the rogue state elements guilty of those assassinations are still in control today.

2. 2nd Amendment education: colonialists had cannon, and war began with “government gun control”

“It is no use trying to escape their arrogance by submission or good behavior. Robbers of the world, having by universal plunder exhausted the land, their drive is greed. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if poor, they lust for domination. Neither rule of the East nor West can satisfy them. Alone among men, they crave with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To plunder, slaughter, seize with false pretenses, they give the lying name ‘empire.’ And where nothing remains but a desert, they call that ‘peace.’ ” 

~ Tacitus, The Agricola and the Germania about a previous global empire (analyses here, here)

American .01% rogue state leaders live in fear that a critical mass of the American public will discover their lies and crimes, and seem to be pushing an agenda to disarm Americans. This is not an ethical response from “mass shootings,” such as we’ll discuss in our next section with the example of Sandy Hook, but a political agenda to make sure awakened Americans are disarmed just as our own government attempted to disarm us in Lexington and Concord in the first American Revolution.

The founding of this country was from a critical mass of Americans recognizing their own government had become lying criminals, would prosecute those pointing out the facts as traitors, then invaded with military to confiscate weapons and prepared to kill resisters. 

This tactic has historical use (and here, here) to help protect rogue governments from the unwilling taxpayers supporting criminals.

Not sure that US “leadership” are criminals with their crimes “covered” by corporate media and public education?

Consider a brief listing, just as Thomas Jefferson detailed crimes of his own government one year before official policy of gun confiscation in that previous revolution:

• Empires loot, plain and simple. American sheeple are, of course, targeted and looted by the tens of trillions. Monetary reform and public banking are two reforms documented since Ben Franklin wrote about colonial Pennsylvania operating without need to tax. Benefits of these two reforms are ~$1,000,000 per US household. You literally have nothing more valuable to learn, and must, or you can kiss your assets goodbye to “required austerity.” Economic solutions for a world that works for everyone with no-one left out have been documented since Bucky Fuller over 50 years ago.
• The US is not limited government under a constitution, but systematically removing rights once asserted as God-given and secured by government to defend Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness. US military and government employees are Oath-bound to recognize illegal and lying empire, refuse to obey illegal orders (there are no lawful orders for illegal Wars of Aggression), and arrest those who issue them.
• Our “leaders” have poverty and war-murdered over 400 million people in just the last 25 years. The .01% "leaders" of "former" colonial/slave powers and "developed" nations promised the end of poverty since 1969 at global summits, with less than 1% GNI investment (a fraction of colonial looting) for a total ~10-year project for ~$1 trillion (about what the US annually invests for military). The 400+ million poverty deaths just since 1993 is more than deaths from all wars and violence of any kind in all human history. 
• The ongoing reneged promises to end poverty with lying corporate media complicity (see this astounding disinformation from the NY Times) means our "leaders" prefer unimaginable suffering and death rather than technically-simple solutions. 
• Our .01% opponents overthrow democracies challenging global empire: 80+ since World War 2. 
• They engage in democide: murder by government to keep our numbers low and weak through fluoride, vaccines, GMO non-foods, and many other attacks on our vitality (explore). 
• A dark, deep topic on its own: they are pedophiles. 
• People around the world view the US as the greatest threat to peace; voted three  times more dangerous than any other country.
• Since WW2, Earth has had 248 armed conflicts. The US started 201 of them.
• These US armed attacks have killed ~30 million and counting; 90% of these deaths are innocent children, the elderly and ordinary working civilian women and men (and here). 
• The annual number of poverty deaths is equal in volume to a Freedom Tower in NYC. “Leaders” of “developed” nations have promised the end of poverty since 1969. Better read that again, and reflect on its meaning of what kind of “leaders” we have in the “developed” world.
• Since Operation O.I.L. (Operation Iraqi Liberation; yes, that was the oligarchs’ first name), 2.4 million Iraqis have been killed as a direct consequence. 

The US is arguably worse in corruption, psychopathy, and causing misery than tragic-comic Roman Emperors. Such “leaders” certainly have the greater capacity to harm.

There's no need to believe anyone with any of this independently-verifiable data: look for yourself.

Other options include this White Paper circulated among Members of Congress, or this 56-minute interview to define rogue state empire with three case studies:

You don't need further data, and that said, there's more in abundance:

• When Americans are told an election is defined by touching a computer screen without a countable receipt that can be verified, they are being told a criminal lie to allow election fraud. This is self-evident, but Princeton, Stanford, and the President of the American Statistical Association are among the leaders pointing to the obvious (and here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here). Again, no professional would/can argue an election is legitimate when there is nothing for anyone to count. The facts show Bernie Sanders won the Democratic Primary election, and claims by Democratic “leadership” of Russian election “meddling” are without factual documentation.
• US military now illegally occupy eight bases in Syria (and here), with escalating bombing of Syria and Iraq of over 4,000 bombs/month, and over 84,000 since 2014. The US acknowledges ~500 civilian deaths from these bombs, with independent count of ~750 just in June 2017, and causing the worst war-destruction since Vietnam.
• Among dozens of independent writers, I’ve documented that all “reasons” for wars on Iran, Syria, and Russia are easily proved lies (recently, here, here, here, and going back to 2005), with US Department of illegal Wars of Aggression (so-called “Defense”) claiming to have “lost” $65,000 for every US household.
• To repeat because of central importance: destruction of nearly all rights lawfully guaranteed in the US Bill of Rights within the US Constitution, and in Orwellian inversion of limited government. 
• Propagandizing Americans is supported by US intelligence "leaders" and "experts" to manipulate public opinion for illegal war (and here).
• Iran has never threatened to “wipe Israel off the map” and only has IAEA-verified legal energy and medicine programs with nuclear materials. Trump and corporate media continues and escalates easily-verified lies to threaten more illegal war on Iran.
• Israel engages in lie-started and illegal War of Aggression on Gaza; ironically the largest concentration camp in world history. This is also easy to verify.

Categories of crime include:

1. Wars of Aggression (the worst crime a nation can commit).
2. Likely treason for lying to US military, ordering unlawful attack and invasions of foreign lands, and causing thousands of US military deaths.
3. Crimes Against Humanity for ongoing intentional policy of poverty that’s killed over 400 million human beings just since 1995 (~75% children; more deaths than from all wars in Earth’s recorded history).

US military, law enforcement, and all with Oaths to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, face an endgame choice:

• Demand arrests, with those with lawful authority to enact it. An arrest is the lawful action to stop apparent crimes, with the most serious crimes documented here meaning the most serious need for arrests.
• Watch the US escalate its rogue state crimes that annually kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions.

In just 90 seconds, former US Marine Ken O’Keefe powerfully states how you may choose to voice “very obvious solutions”: arrest the criminal leaders (video starts at 20:51, then finishes this episode of Cross Talk):

3-minute video: Police, Military – Was your Oath sincere?

3. Sandy Hook as a lie-covered false flag event for gun confiscation?

Almost all Americans get their news from the same corporate media proven above as shills and liars for an illegal US rogue state empire. Therefore, most Americans have only received similar reporting regarding Sandy Hook along with advocacy for "gun control," and do not know that Wolfgang Halbig, a leading US school safety expert who is a former Deputy and school principal, attempted to discover what happened at Sandy Hook to thwart procedures to protect students and adults. He has since blasted that school district for lying to him to cover-up his discoveries that this event was a false flag scripted event for gun control. Most of his interviews, despite his expertise in training school districts for school safety, have been censored off YouTube, but explore here, here, here, here.

The recent civil trial regarding Sandy Hook that most Americans have heard from lying corporate media (consider just these three: 1, 2, 3) reported propaganda because all refused to cover the judge illegally refused a jury trial, refused public consideration of evidence from two expert witnesses that reverses the verdict, and lied to make a ruling himself without jury because according to him the "facts were not in contention." Please peruse the above three corporate media propaganda hit pieces, then ask and answer for yourself why so-called "professional" and independent journalists would omit reporting upon a judge in open violation of constitutional rights, destruction of a central aspect of being American to have a jury determine law and facts, and the omission of all the defendants' evidence! And again, the target of the lawsuit was to stop this free online book: Nobody Died at Sandy Hook edited by Jim Fetzer and Mike Palecek with chapters by thirteen experts that include six Ph.D. professors.

With full article here about that civil trial: introduction of a definition, then three areas of law violated by the judge:

show trial: noun (especially in a totalitarian state) the public trial of a political offender conducted chiefly for propagandistic purposes, as to suppress further dissent against the government by making an example of the accused.

"Trial by jury; verdict in civil cases. Section 5. The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate, and shall extend to all cases at law without regard to the amount in controversy; but a jury trial may be waived by the parties in all cases in the manner prescribed by law."  ~ Wisconsin State Constitution

"Free speech; libel. Section 3. Every person may freely speak, write and publish his sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right, and no laws shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press. In all criminal prosecutions or indictments for libel, the truth may be given in evidence, and if it shall appear to the jury that the matter charged as libelous be true, and was published with good motives and for justifiable ends, the party shall be acquitted; and the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the fact."  ~ Wisconsin State Constitution

“757.02  Justices and judges and municipal judges; oath of office; ... Every person elected or appointed justice of the supreme court, judge of the court of appeals, judge of the circuit court or municipal judge, shall take, subscribe and file the following oath: State of Wisconsin, County of .... 'I, the undersigned, who have been elected (or appointed) to the office of …. do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Wisconsin; that I will administer justice without respect to persons and will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of said office to the best of my ability. So help me God.'”  ~ Wisconsin Statutes

You are aware of ongoing corporate media and political "leadership" call for "gun control" despite the American Founders armed with cannon to counter their government's most powerful weapon.

You have just been briefed on historic and current American illegal rogue state empire.

Now you have to decide for yourself whether this government's "leadership" care to help Americans from "mass shootings," or if the evidence of our own government annually killing millions, harming billions, and looting trillions have motivations other than "care."
