So, what is going on? Five mass shootings in a matter of a few days...

We know about the Asian on Asian shooting over the weekend.

Looks like three more just today.

Some people have gone mad.

It's not just guns, it's also with knives.

Look at the bigger picture though... the government is a slain terrorist in of itself in many ways. They threaten and terrorize us and some don't even reckon it, till it's too late.

What else is going on that those in power don’t want us to notice

What else is going on that those in power don’t want us to notice

From all of the talk of nuclear attack (from recent videos of what to do, people talking strike zone, etc, etc), I'm hedging on that someone is gonna get nuked and it's going to cause more of global mess (not necessarily fallout). Could it be in the US? Not sure.

FWIW, the Bulletin is going to be having their yearly "Minutes till Midnight" update tomorrow at 10AM eastern.

Must be an assault weapons ban coming up for a vote…. Biden did say just two weeks ago he was going to get a ban pushed through.

 

[Varmint]

What else is going on that those in power don’t want us to notice

It's the Biden team versus the deep state. For every new discovery of classified documents the Biden camp responds with a mass shooting to try to drive it off the front pages.

It's a symptom of the disease.

We are witnessing societal decay and collapse. There's no other explanation. It's not a grand conspiracy of false flags it's just people who can't cope with the life's challenges and they cannot overcome adversity so they have no other mental reasoning ability than to lash out with extreme violence.

There is no respect or sanctity for life anymore. Morality is in the rear view mirror.

I also think an increasingly digital world and post 3 years of lockdown and social isolation there are people out there now who have lost their humanity and cannot constructively interact with other humans in person.

Again, these are all indirectly causes but the shootings themselves signify a failed society.

Healthy societies don't do this. Or in a healthy society if it happens it's a one off outlier from a mentally deranged evil person it's not "just another day" And they are few and far between.

Guys I'm really not trying to be a doomer here but look at all the social problems we have. They are not going away. Just think how bad people are going to be coping in 6 months when ww3 is expanding, the economy is formally in a recession, more people are laid off etc. More People are going to be unable to cope. I'm not a cop I don't see it first hand but I try to pay attention it sure as hell seems like crime has gone up noticably in the past couple years and I don't see how that trend slows down.

5 years ago when I first heard about Dr Calhoun's social experiments I used to just think it was an interesting curiosity and filed it away in the back of my brain. Now I can't stop thinking about it, it's eerily prophetic what I am seeing our society turn into before our very eyes.

This Old Experiment With Mice Led to Bleak Predictions for Humanity’s Future

From the 1950s to the 1970s, researcher John Calhoun gave rodents unlimited food and studied their behavior in overcrowded conditions

www.smithsonianmag.com

All the militant woke transgender movement, bragging about abortions etc. We have failed. We have turned away from our basic biology that we are hardwired for.

We are living the human utopia version of his experiment.

No one has to work. The government provides everyone everything they need. People have lost their purpose. They just float listlessly through life. The world is becoming increasingly isolated and digitized. Combine that with the covid nonsense and you just compounded the destruction to peoples instinctual social needs and sense of belonging.

essentially IMO we're screwed. I don't know how it gets better, nor when. But I promise it's not getting better for a long time. This cycle will just compound and escalate becoming worse.

I'm not being sarcastic maybe losing the grid for 3 months isn't that bad of an outcome after all.

Well let’s see……

Riots in Atlanta

Food prices though the roof

Food not on shelves

Gas going up again

Covid cases going up

Possible mask mandates again

Etc……….

Spot on. Couldn't agree more. There may be a few shootings/riots/events, etc. that are false flags but the vast majority of them organic. The cause being, as you so aptly put it, a failed state and society.

I also remember reading about Dr. Calhoun's experiments. When I was a kid there was the animated movie "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh" and the book. It is loosely based on those experiments (obviously none of the mice in the experiment learned how to talk). This is what happens when the majority of people live in cities, packed on top of one another. Add in the human element and see what a lack of morality has created.

The only solace I take is that nature always wins in the end.

Copycats.

Maybe we should ban reporting on mass shootings, for the children.

If you can ignore the 2A to stop them, why not the 1A too....

Somehow I bet the media would change their tune dramatically if they were the target.

Open border policy in effect

 

[Jmac00]

as Soros has said, the one thing standing in the way of the One World Order, is the United States and the second amendment.

How do get rid of the 2A, you make everyone scared of anyone who is Pro-2A. Make pro-2A people the enemy, the boogeyman

add in all the economic problems, you have a receipt for getting rid of the 2A. the WEF and OWO are on track to end America as we know it.

give it another few years, and we won't have a country

You watch, by tomorrow, the anti-gun people will be screaming for a gun ban on all "assault weapons" which now, is every firearm on the planet

WHAT?! Semi-Automatic Firearms NOT COVERED By 2nd Amendment?​

 

[Acer-m14]

i wonder if the weapon that was use between Kane and Abel was a SBR ..



Short Barrel Rock

or a JBA .. Jaw bone Ass ..


What was Cain's weapon?


Since the ninth century, the weapon of Cain in English vernacular accounts of the first murder is the jaw-bone of an ass. Even the alternative meaning, that Cain bit Abel to death, is implied in another English legend: in the verse Life of Adam and Eve, Eve dreams of the blood of Abel in his brother's mouth



How was Abel murdered?


According to another tradition, the devil appeared to Cain and instructed him how to exact revenge on Abel. "Hit Abel's head with a stone and kill him," whispered the devil to Cain. After the murder, the devil hurried to Eve shouting: "Eve! Cain has murdered Abel!".

330+ million people and all you hear about the 36 that have gone off the rails. Unfortunately Violence and criminal activity amongst a population as large as ours is a sign of freedom. In totalitarian regimes the government has the monopoly on violence.

Sure I don't disagree with any of that.

But I think the issue is deeper, it's a "free" society that is Also failing. Why didn't these shootings happen like this and this frequency in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s? Sure our population has gone up over time as has shootings but on a per Capita ratio mass shootings per population is as high as ever and likely increasing.

We were free in the 80s why weren't we experiencing this phenomenon then? We had violent action movies, men were men. Yet extreme random mass violence was less common.

We are considerably less free than we were before this problem started.

I agree with this analysis, but I also think the heavy and continuous press coverage of these shootings encourage some of the weaker thinking minority to emulate them or try to out do them. Furthermore frustration levels are higher because of all picky new restrictions to our freedoms.

Not long enough. 6-9 maybe. It’s got to be long enough to severely stifle the limousine liberals current freedoms to do what they want and walk all over everyone else. Just waiting for their Tesla batteries to die isn’t enough. When they start attempting to subsistence hunt/fish/farm maybe then…

The fact that many men aren't men anymore and that many women think they're men is a component to all this.
