interesting take on gun control

The Long, Racist History of Gun Control in America

..The Long, Racist History of Gun Control in America
By Niger Innis | The Blaze – 1 hr 18 mins ago....Email0Share110


The purposeful restriction of knowledge has been at the heart of untold misery and hardship in this world. Serfs were kept illiterate so as to not jeopardize the feudal system. Slaves were kept in the dark on a variety of subjects so as to not provide them the possibility of escape.

Today, knowledge remains elusive to so many because the media does not allow for facts that run contrary to the narratives they favor. Nowhere is this more evident than in the narratives concerning gun control. Though our supposed betters in the media see no reason to share this with the American public, gun control, a sanitized term for the systemic restriction of rights, has its earliest origins in racism. The concept is simple enough: enable the selected group to remain armed while working to disarm the unselected group. In America, this has been mainly black, Hispanic and immigrant populations.

Excellent point. And very true. Tell the people what to think, lie to us, teach the people what philosophies to believe in and follow.

And many people fall in line. Now we can see how easy it was for hitler to brainwash a nation.

Mainstream media has always furthered their political belief system, this is the very reason talk radio and Fox dominate the ratings, they attempt to deliver the news and current events in a unbiased common sense format. Mainstream media continues to embrace their liberal ideology and interpretation of the news as they see fit.

FOX News Big Wig Chris Wallace admitted FOX is there to balance out a perceived liberal bias. That is an admission FOX is a conservatively biased news org.

There was some point in my life when journalism went from telling the story to telling our story. I am not sure when that was. The press hated Nixon but I dont remember him being demonized in prime time. Reagan had his fair share of negative stories, but not the overwhelming run that came later. The press covered for Clinton and Ted Kennedy, even as they excoriated Republicans like Bob Packwood. But it really hit the fan with Bush. The press just was out to get him. He could do no right. Similarly with Obama he can hardly do any wrong. They protect him from tough questions and let him pass on difficult issues. Where is the Woodward/Bernstein team investigating the White House? Those doing it are like Breitbart and other non traditional journalists. This is why TV and print news are losing customers.

For those of you lurking: This is what is great about toying with Right Wing Morons.

Chris Wallace says something and a right winger believes, believes with all their heart and soul, that that implies I believe what Chris Wallace says.

Now follow the context. Dante posts: Chris Wallace admits FOX is a balance for his perceived notion that ALL the other news networks are liberally biased. This is Chris' defense to a statement and question by comedian/commentator Jon Stewart. A Right Winger then says this proves Dante agrees with Chris Wallace's premise concerning ALL news networks other than FOX.

(My bold)

As far as I can tell, Germany wanted to believe that the fault for losing WWI lay somewhere other than in their leadership or themselves. In that sense, Hitler didn't have to work all that hard @ "convincing" them. & if Kaiser Bill had simply stood forth & taken the blame like a Mensch, we might have been able to avoid WWII.

But maybe not, Europe was in an ugly mood after WWI.

That was a brief period in the history of American journalism and the right wing branch of American Conservatism hated it. Most of the history of American journalism makes what we have now look fuzzy, warm and cuddly

(My bold)

All societies indoctrinate their young - or they don't last v. long. They become "other", to coin a phrase. (& like propaganda & much of the rest of the vocabulary of belief, this is theological language invented/popularized by the R. C. Church.)

Really, the Inquisition (the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, for you newbies) should get a nickle or two everytime someone uses the language in a disparaging manner, without proper attribution ...
