Things are getting scary...the future looms strangely, the old way is passing and new wizards are in charge. There's not a thing to be done but hunker down, or continue to dance. I'll spend my time and nickels dancing. Pass the wine and fire up the band.
We dance an invisible dance to music they cannot hear.

Are we complaining now that they are taking the guns out the hands of the mentally unstable? I thought that was the idea.

The mentally unstable don't need guns. Instead, they hold public office and train kids to use guns as a "military necessity."

What's described isn't even technocracy.
It's more correctly corporate plutocracy.

MHL 9.46 never should have been filed on him in the first place. MHL 9.46 requires mental health professionals to report to their local director of community services ("DCS") or his/her designees when, in their reasonable professional judgment, one of their patients is "likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others." To answer your question, NO I do not "complain" about taking guns out of the hands of those who are unstable. The gentleman in the first story was not considered a risk. Fact is, he complied with the "law" and did what the authorities wanted. I don't think an unstable person would comply with the law. The real story here is how or why was a MHL 9.46 submitted in the first place. This was outside the guidelines of the law. Iven

"was not considered a risk and had no criminal record. "
was not considered a risk by who? If the person is on anti-anxiety medication he is a risk as far as I'm concerned. If you are on any type of medication for anxiety disorders or depression, you should not be able to get a permit for a gun. It is pretty black and white in my opinion. Does that mean that some people will be denied permits who would not pose a threat? sure. but we have to draw the line somewhere. The NRA in their pronouncements after Sandy Hook said we need to go after those with mental disorders. So, this is part of that. |

Some sections have been leaked. And what they reveal is "an agreement that actually formalizes the priority of corporate power over government," according to Lori Wallach of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch. Only 5 of the 29 chapters have to do with trade. Wallach says the rest of the draft:
"include[s] new rights for the big pharmaceutical companies to expand, to raise medical prices, expand monopoly patents; [there are] limits on Internet freedom, penalties for inadvertent noncommercial copying, [like] sending something to a friend. There are the same rules that promote off-shoring of jobs that were in NAFTA that are more robust [and] that literally give privileges and protections if you leave. There is a ban on "buy American" and "buy local" or "green" or sweat-free procurement. There are limits on domestic financial stability regulations. There are limits on imported food safety standards and product standards. There are limits on how we can regulate energy towards a more green future - all of these things are what they call "Behind the Borders" agenda. And the operating clause of TPP is: "Each country shall ensure the conformity of its domestic laws, regulations and administrative procedures with these agreements." That's to say, that we're told to conform all of our domestics laws - including all the important public interest laws fought for so hard by people around the country - for these corporate dictates, and it's strongly enforceable. If we do not conform our laws, another country can challenge us and impose trade sanctions until we do, but this one is even privately enforceable by the corporations themselves. What is being constructed secretly, bit by bit, is a global governance structure in which corporations are the citizens and globalized states are the local administrative structures that enforce corporate dictates and maintain order. This is a world without popular sovereignty and without democracy. It is a world ruled by an insulated technocratic elite serving the interests of global capital. There is a ban on "buy American" and "buy local" eh.

Can anyone point out to me a conspiracy theory that actually turned out to be true?
