[LAAMN] A Note From Michael Moore
Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 7:32 PM To: epear...@earthlink.net A Note From Michael Moore Sunday, December 16th, 2012 Friends, I am truly beside myself this time. I tried to ring a warning bell about this a decade ago. The disease has only gotten worse. But...you feel something different in the air across America tonight, don't you? People have had it and the outrage is loud and visible. I'm convinced the majority of Americans will now back strong gun control laws. And a better mental health care system. And perhaps a few are willing to look at the deeper issue of how this country officially sanctions violence as a means to an end. The NRA, for the first time ever, has gone silent. They've taken their Facebook page down. They know they can't show up in Newtown next week and stick it to the people there, like they usually do after one of these mass killings. Let's face it, the gun lobby tonight is on the ropes. Now is the time to act. We can't let this sad moment pass without a true response and a president willing to be a strong leader. I'll send some more thoughts tomorrow, but for now I thought I'd share with you what I've been sending out over Twitter this weekend. (If you're not on Twitter, please consider it. I know not one more social media stop, please! But I've found it to be a quick and easy way to communicate with millions. Please give it a try. http://twitter.com/mmflint I send things out on it every day and I'd like you not to miss them.) Here's my Twitter feed since the shootings on Friday: CBS News reporting 27 dead at CT elementary school, many/mostly children. Hoping, praying this isn't true. #schoolshooting https://twitter.com/search?q=%23schoolshootingsrc=typd Only minutes away from pundits politicians saying, This isn't the time to talk about gun control. Really? When is that moment? The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy. Too soon to speak out about a gun-crazy nation? No, too late. At least THIRTY-ONE school shootings since Columbine. 19 years ago today was the FIRST Aurora gun massacre. Here's an essay from one who lived: http://mmflint.me/OOWJhi http://mmflint.me/OOWJhi Just 18 hrs ago, those Republicans in the Michigan House rammed thru a bill making it LEGAL to carry a gun into a school or day care center. RT þ@Marmel http://twitter.com/Marmel Hey, @BarackObama http://twitter.com/barackobama - you know all those nuts that fear you're going to take their guns? You can take their guns now. RT @mat http://twitter.com/mat : The gun lobby already hates Obama. I wish he'd give them an actual reason. The NRA hates freedom. They don't want you to have the freedom to send your children to school expect them to come home alive A Facebook post from Mark Kelly: http://mmflint.me/U0XlUU http://mmflint.me/U0XlUU This morning a crazy man attacked 22 children at an elementary school- in China. But all the crazy man had was a knife. Number of dead? Zero In addition to his two handguns, the killer in CT this morning used an assault rifle called The Bushmaster. RT þ@ScribeHard http://twitter.com/ScribeHard @Burnman http://twitter.com/Burnman @AwardsDaily http://twitter.com/AwardsDaily I never read a headline that said Dozens of Children Dead in Hand-to-Hand Combat. Guns. Facilitate. Mass. Killings. RT @peterbayley http://twitter.com/peterbayley @MMFlint http://twitter.com/MMFlint I didn't know you guys named your guns after presidents. How cute Also located in Newtown, CT: the nat'l HQ of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the lobbying trade org of all the gun manufacturers http://mmflint.me/Uj9IZu In 1996, Australia banned semi-automatics. In the 18 years before, there were 13 mass shootings. Since then, none. RT @JDillon777 http://twitter.com/JDillon777 @MMFlint http://twitter.com/mmflint Sad to see that 'Bowling for Columbine' has gone ignored. Perhaps you should have directed Batman, and maybe they'd listen. Hey NRA - why so quiet? Do you hear the rumble? The will of the people today? Coming your way. Think fast - the majority have had it. From The Onion: http://mmflint.me/UIhSep On this day in 1791 the Founding Fathers created the 2nd Amendment. It took a good 15 seconds to load 1 bullet (musket ball) then Nation celebrates 2nd Amend.

Merida, December 16th 2012 (Venezuelanalysis.com) With all votes counted to the point of results being irreversible, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela has won 20 states, and the opposition coalition, three states. The opposition lost their control of Zulia, Tachira, Carabobo, Monagas, and Nueva Esparta, but retained Amazonas and Miranda, and Lara states. In Miranda, one of the key states at stake, contested by PSUV ex vice-president Elias Jaua, and the opposition presidential candidate and current governor of Miranda, Henrique Capriles, the opposition won with 50% to Jauas 46%. In Bolivar state, where the results were very close, the opposition candidate Andres Velasquez is refusing to recognise his defeat and has called on locals to defend his victory. In todays elections Venezuelans and residents chose 23 state governors and 237 state legislators. The results of the state legislative voting have yet to be announced. In the 2008 regional elections the PSUV won 17 of the 22 states being contested. For state by state results see below. *Participation levels and voting mood* Turnout was just under 54% , though this varied markedly in different regions. In the 2008 state elections (which were slightly different to these ones in that they also included mayoral elections) participation rate was 65.45% of registered voters. In general you can see an environment of apparent calm, with some levels of abstention that have been higher than we expected, Leonardo Briceno, a teacher from Merida state told Venezuelanalysis.coms Ewan Robertson. The voting mood in many states has been reported to be peaceful, but somewhat apathetic, a contrast to the usual joyful ambience that has marked Venezuelan elections over the last thirteen years. PSUV leader Jorge Rodriguez said that the popular or poorer areas had longer queues and higher participation than other areas. The head of the operational strategic command for the Bolivarian Armed Forces, Wilmer Barrientos, informed press that the voting process had been carried out with absolutely normality, and that only 19 people have been detained, and of those, six people arrested for electoral crimes. Today there were 12,748 voting booths, with a total of 36.220 voting machines distributed among them, and 17,421,946 eligible voters, 186,036 of which are foreign born residents. *Full results* Amazonas: PSUV: Nicia Maldonado 37%, MUD: Liborio Guarulla 65% Anzoategui: PSUV: Aristóbulo Istúriz 53.97% MUD: Antonio Barreto Sira 41.06% Apure: PSUV: Ramón Carrizález 59.83% MUD: Luis Lippa 22.42% Aragua: PSUV: Tareck El Aissami 52.72% MUD: Richard Mardo 42.71% Barinas: PSUV: Adán Chávez 54.69% MUD: Julio César Reyes 41.72% Bolivar: PSUV: Francisco Rangel Gómez 43.57% MUD: Andrés Velásquez 42.34% Carabobo: PSUV: Francisco Ameliach 53.49% MUD: Henrique Salas Feo 42.7% Cojedes: PSUV: Érika Farías 59.27% MUD: Alberto Galindez 35.31% Delta Amacuro: PSUV: Lizeta Hernández 61.27% MUD: Arévalo Salazar 20.99% Falcon: PSUV: Stella Lugo de Montilla 48.28% MUD: Gregorio Graterol 35.28% Guarico: PSUV: Rodríguez Chacín 70.41% MUD: José Manuel González 25.55% Lara: PSUV: Luis Reyes Reyes 41.98% MUD: Henri Falcón 54.35% Merida: PSUV: Alexis Ramírez 47.56% MUD: Lester Rodríguez 37.96% Miranda: PSUV: Elías Jaua Milano 46.13% MUD: Henrique Capriles Radonski 50.35% Monagas: PSUV: Yelitze Santaella 52. 59% MUD: Soraya Hernández - Independent: Jose Briceño: 40.67% Nueva Esparta: PSUV: Carlos Mata Figueroa 52. 44% MUD: Morel Rodríguez 44.34% Portuguesa: PSUV: Wilmar Castro Soteldo 50.96% MUD: Iván Colmenares - PCV: Oswaldo Zerpa 22.59% Sucre: PSUV: Luis Acuña 56.77% MUD: Hernán Núñez 35.26% Tachira: PSUV: José Vielma Mora 51.7% MUD: César Pérez Vivas 44.48% Trujillo: PSUV: Rangel Silva
[LAAMN] Psychiatric Drugs Involved in Nearly All Recent Mass-Shootings
Let's not look at the elephant in the room . . . . . . psychiatric drugs. At about the 10 minute mark in this video, the speaker said that in the '60s, there were fewer gun laws than there is now and a lot less violence. I haven't been able to find any statistics on this, but I don't recall this many shootings that seem to be happening almost every day now.  Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it. ~General Douglas MacArthur 1957 - Forwarded Message - From: Forbidden Knowledge TV newslet...@forbiddenknowledgetv.com To: Sent: Monday, December 17, 2012 9:38 AM Subject: Psychiatric Drugs Involved in Nearly All Recent Mass-Shootings Having trouble viewing this email?

One must assume the shooter was on psychiatric drugs for what had been described as anti-social behavior, on his being slightly handicapped and suffering from Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. Nowhere, will you find any reference to the drugs prescribed to the shooter. Nothing but guns are portrayed to be the problem.   Who stands to gain by withholding this info? The drug manufacturers, of course. Video (about 11 mins): The Link Between Psychiatric Drugs and Nearly All Recent Mass-Shootings - Alexandra P.S.
