On June 13, the CBS Evening News they reported that there were more deaths in Chicago so far this year than all of last year in Afghanistan. The report stated, "Chicago is averaging two murders per day! As of yesterday it was 282 murders."

And... http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local...159886705.html

Why do so many politicians have a psychologically-based need to control us? They obviously derive a perverted satisfaction in the knowledge that they can prevent us from protecting ourselves.

Too many politicians mandate our impotence in the face of criminals AND relative to themselves for the time when they may someday choose to directly assert control over us.

Another violent weekend in Chicago left 29 people injured and four killed since Friday.


City to revamp gun-control ordinance after loss in court

Emanuel is expected to propose legislation that would made a distinction between felony and misdemeanor violations. The proposal would permanently ban anyone convicted of a felony violent crime and put a five-year ban on anyone convicted of a misdemeanor violent crime.

Quick Silver Z: Google Shopping Censors All Gun, Ammo & Accessories Results

~~~~~~~~~~

In their new policy Google states, "...Google will disapprove of...".

The term "Our Cause" that defines this thread was prescient. But now it has become ALL AMERICANS' CAUSE.

This is simply Google's next step. What might next be perpetrated by the petulant, overly empowered juveniles who are fully in CONTROL of Google as they endeavor to please their master in the WH?

~~~~~

The following poem references seemingly different objects, but it is becoming more relevant each day in America.


First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.


This statement is attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). He references the inactivity of German intellectuals during the **** rise to power and its purging of their targets.

Niemöller supported the **** Party until Hitler directed the supremacy of the state over religion.
