All you need to know about gun control in 100 words
All you need to know about gun control in 100 words
Gun-control laws do not control crime because crimes are not committed by guns; they are committed by criminals. Criminals will always have guns because they do not obey laws, including anti-gun laws. Those without guns are easy prey for criminals with guns. Gun control encourages crime. The right to bear arms was included in the Bill of Rights, not to deter crime, but to deter oppressive government. Just governments honor and protect the right to bear arms. Oppressive governments fear and prohibit the right to bear arms. Guns are dangerous. The only thing more dangerous is not having them.

Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik are identified as the shooters who opened the doors at a San Bernardino holiday party and fired into the crowd, leaving 14 people dead and 21 injured. Obama immediately called for more gun control. The shooters were killed in an ensuing gun battle. LA Times 2015 Dec 3 (Story) (Cached)
Regarding the shooters in the recent attack in San Bernardino, California, investigators say that Syed Rizwan Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in 2014 and returned with Tashfeen Malik, a Pakistani woman whom he married in California. A federal law enforcement source said that Malik pledged allegiance to the leader of ISIS online. The dispute that occurred prior to the shooting was between Farook and a Messianic Jew, Nicholas Thalasinos, who was passionate about pro-Israel causes. CBS News 2015 Dec 4 (Story) (Cached)
Alex Jones interviewed Donald Trump who wants to “make America great again.” Trump said that, if he were president, he would build up the US military, which already far outspends every other country. He said that Iraq has the second largest oil reserves and that the US should have taken it but, instead, left it behind for ISIS and Iran. He declined to answer Jones’ question about whether he would drop out of the race before the election to deliver his support to another candidate. InfoWars 2015 Dec 2 (Story)

This report is a synopsis of a stunning announcement by Russia that Turkey is buying oil in the black market in support of ISIS terrorists. Turkish President Erdogan and his family are personally involved in ISIS oil smuggling. Russian airstrikes have cut ISIS oil operations by half. Upon hearing the news that the US is deploying troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria, the Prime Minister of Iraq said that foreign troops are not necessary in his country. Iraq, however, is hosting Russian military operations. We Are Change 2015 Dec 2 (Story)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the Israeli military operates in Syria “from time to time” in order to prevent the transfer of weapons into Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon. He said that he will coordinate with the US and Russia when they strike. France and the UK are also bombing Syria. [It is a miracle that Syria is still standing. All the major powers want to control her government and territory.] IBT 2015 Dec 2 (Story) (Cached)
Afghani officials say they burned 18 tons of drugs confiscated from Kabul. This may sound like Afghanistan is clamping down on drugs. However, the country produces 90% of the world’s opium. [Eighteen tons is a mere token and may be for publicity purposes. It is reported that they currently have a surplus anyway.] ITN News 2015 Dec 1 (Story)
Russia has destroyed and disrupted numerous ISIS oil routes, forcing the militants to look for a new stronghold and a new source of income, such as heroin. ISIS already is collecting $1 billion per year in drug sales. RT 2015 Dec 1 (Story)
FBI Director James Comey will decide whether or not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for placing classified information on her private email server. If he does, she will be eliminated from the presidential race. Comey served on the investigation of Sandy Berger in 2004 that had consequences for him that should equally apply to Hillary. (See story below for those details.) The Hill 2015 Dec 1 (Story) (Cached)
What’s the big deal about Hillary’s emails? She removed classified documents and placed them on her personal home server, which is an illegal act, even for the Secretary of State. In 2001, a Bill Clinton adviser by the name of Sandy Berger took five classified documents in this fashion and had to pay a fine, serve two years’ probation, do community-service, and give up his security clearance and law license for this crime. By comparison, Hillary removed and retained hundreds or thousands of classified documents. Washington Post 2015 August 3 (Story) (Cached)
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is threatening to sue any agency that brings Syrian refugees into his state. This is in response to a refusal by the International Rescue Committee to guarantee they would not bring any new Syrian refugees because they say the IRC is bound by federal law.

Shipping data shows that Turkey and Israel appear to be responsible for facilitating (and profiting from) the ISIS oil enterprise. ZeroHedge 2015 Nov 29 (Story) (Cached)
Russian President Putin accused Turkey of allowing the smuggling of ISIS/Daesh oil and suggested that President Erdogan should resign. Erdogan replied that he would resign if Putin can prove the accusation. He then challenged Putin to resign if Russia participated in trading in ISIS oil. Erdogan says that a Russian-Syrian citizen has been buying oil from Daesh and selling it to the Assad regime. Daily Sabah 2015 Nov 29 (Story) (Cached)

The NSA can no longer legally continue bulk data collection but must make specific requests to telephone companies to retrieve data and only if someone is suspected of being a threat to national security. This new restriction is the result of the USA Freedom Act that gave Congress six months to replace the previous program with something less intrusive – which it failed to do. [In view of the fact that the NSA is notorious for ignoring previous laws and constitutional restraints, it seems naive to believe that it now will stop random data collection.] Reason 2015 Nov 29 (Story) (Cached)
This video, made in September by a French citizen, shows Muslim migrants blocking Paris streets for public prayers. Police are ordered to stand down and allow this activity even though no one else would be allowed either to block streets or use public property for religious activities. A commentator says that Islam is a political movement with the agenda of building an Islamic State based in Sharia law. [The citizenry has begun to protest against the Islamization of their country, but French leaders, who have engineered this mass immigration, are determined to continue the disintegration of national sovereignty as a necessary transition to globalism.] CBN News posted 2015 November 28 (Story)
Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and New York will require a passport to make a domestic flight in 2016. The State Department could revoke, deny, or limit passports for anyone with a tax debt to the IRS of $50,000 or more. Forbes posted 2015 Nov 28 (Story) (Cached)
French politician, Marine LePen, of a nationalist anti-immigration party was arrested and will be tried for making a critical comment in 2010 about Muslims praying in the streets. She called them occupiers and compared the situation to occupied France during WWII. In her recent speech in Parliament, she stated that, if the enemy cannot be named, it cannot be defeated and she named fundamentalist Islam as the enemy. Live Leak posted 2015 Nov 28 (Story)

Washington state: Attorney exposes forced-vaccination agenda and explains the legal basis for lawsuits against governments and pharmaceutical companies. SOTN posted 2015 Dec 2 (Story) (Cached)
More than 100 heads of state joined almost 40,000 operatives and elites in Paris to pursue a global treaty to put an end to national sovereignty in the name of fighting climate change. Because the public is increasingly skeptical of the global-warming story, politicians and mainstream media now are trying to link the weather to terrorism. Ron Paul says the climate-change industry wastes $1.5 trillion per year ($4 billion per day), and most of it is taxpayer funded. This is a war by governments against personal liberty and property.

On the topic of US intervention in the Middle East, this Democrat makes sense! Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, from Hawaii, is a military veteran and a member of the Armed Services Committee. She explains to Wolf Blitzer that the US government is attempting to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria while Russia is defending him, and that could lead to World War 3. She says that trying to unseat Assad is counterproductive to America’s best interests and also is illegal, because it has not been authorized by Congress as required by the Constitution. She says that the US should stop delivering weapons to Islamic terrorist, because you cannot defeat your enemy if you are arming him at the same time. ZeroHedge posted 2015 Nov 28 (Story)
This analysis concludes that Turkish President Erdogan is no friend of the West or of a free world. He seeks to expand the Neo-Ottoman Empire all the way to China, Syria, and Iraq and he has been using ISIS to do it. Erdogan’s son is the man who facilitates the sales of ISIS-controlled oil. His daughter runs a hospital to treat wounded ISIS Jihadists. There is much more in this report that proves the absurdity of working with Turkey supposedly to fight terrorism.

ABOUT YOUR 100 WORDS ON GUN CONTROL
2015 Dec 7 from Joun Dilday
Great words! It is not necessary to profile as criminal in appearance those who who want to be left alone (want to live free). Standing on a porch with a rifle discouraging a trespass is simply not a crime.
REPLY FROM GEG: John probably is referring to the phoot, carried with our editorial last week, of a disheveled and suspicious-looking man hoding a rifle. John is right, of course. We used the image only because it was eye-catching.

THIN END OF THE WEDGE
2015 Dec 7 from Pee Jay
Hello Ed, Very interesting issue of Need to Know today as usual. In a change to the law in the UK, many many years ago, Sikhs were allowed to ride motorbikes without helmets, as to do so would require them to remove their turbans. Thin end of the wedge.

MY KID IS TAUGHT COMMUNISM IN SCHOOL
2015 Dec 2 from Gregg
My son came home from school and was upset. We talked and found that the cause of his angst was based in his classes. The advanced and honors levels are wrought with tearing down students teaching the oppressive nature of white folks. This is his Honors English class. It was similar in his Advanced Placement US History class.
Right now he is wanting to opt out of all these classes, but the school “encourages” the student and the parents to stay the course, as it were. There must be a financial incentive to the school for keeping kids in those classes. And they are basically taught communism. Scary.
BTW, after meeting the “teachers” of these courses, I walked away with a new outlook of what comprises an educator, by my standards. The whole system is really skewed.

COLLECTIVISM VS. INDIVIDUALISM

The 5 pillars of individualism vs collectivism.
I thought you might want to share it on Need to know.
REPLY FROM GEG:
Max, I am delighted that you have gone to the trouble of making this audio summary of The Pillars of Freedom – and a job well done!
About 18 months ago, I added two more pillars: Freedom-of-Choice in Money and Property As A Human Right. If you ever feel like updating your presentation, you might want to include these. I think they are just as important as the others. You can see them all together here.
I doubt if we ever will add any other pillars, although there are numerous other distinctions worthy of note; for example, the concept of the great leader vs. public servant. Thanks for doing this.

NOT CURING IS A GOOD BUSINESS MODEL
2015 Nov 30 from Taylor Young
The US Healthcare system made a whopping 3.17 trillion dollars this year and it is estimated that will rise to 3.57 trillion in 2016! We are supporting the Cabal by believing and “buying” into their fake medical paradigm and drug system. It has NOTHING to with health or healing!
