Yesterday in New York Shane Devon Tamara shot and killed 4 and then killed himself. The reason I mention this is NY police commissioner said they searched his car for explosives and found a loaded hand gun ammunition and medicine. She also said he had a long history of mental health issues. One intuitive reporter asked commissioner Jessica Tisch what kind of medicine? She replied I can’t say because of privacy. The reporter said “privacy for who he’s dead?”

This is the problem, many of these shooters are on all kinds of drugs many cause thoughts of suicide and everyone protects Big Pharma, even after a mass shooting. If we can’t find out what is causing this, and they keep covering up what the effects of these drugs are, how can we possibly expect to stop these atrocities from happening? How can this be fixed when the average person doesn’t know who is telling the truth and who is lying.

My off topic question is how did this man with all kinds of mental health problems get a license to carry? In New York City it is basically illegal for anyone to have a gun, do we need another law? No what we need is transparency once and for all!

The amazing thing about the information war is how many people still have no clue that there is a propaganda war going on, and has been for decades. They still cling to their mainstream media favorites with trust and loyalty, and proudly proclaim, "their journalism has always been trustworthy" or something to that effect. They are aware that much of journalism is untrustworthy, but always believe that their own personal favorite has escaped the low standards that so obviously affect other newspapers. I have become a believer in "willful ignorance" - the idea being that many are not simply gullible, but actually are afraid of the truth, "can't handle the truth" or can't handle the feelings that come with cognitive dissonance. Protecting their world-view becomes a survival issue for some people, so they will cling to any idea no matter how ridiculous, and reject any idea, no matter how well argued, well written and well researched, to protect their fragile view of the world. It's a shame, but maybe that's why the movie was called "A Few Good Men" and not "Lots of Good Men".
