Don't forget, Infowars says it's *false flag* already. Yes, Obama killed them all to get the guns.

Public Enraged At Media's Call To Ban Guns From Santa Barbara Stabbings

That's the youtube title. I won't post it. A musician is going on the road in CA venues with the same thing:

Punk icon Exene Cervenka claims Santa Barbara shooting a ‘false flag’ government hoax

Punk singer Exene Cervenka posted a series of tweets Wednesday questioning whether the government staged last week’s mass shootings in Isla Vista, California, to enact stricter gun control laws.

Cervenka, who performed with the bands X and the Knitters, posted links to videos questioning how quickly replacement panes were delivered for glass damaged during the shooting at a convenience store where Christopher Martinez was killed...

Another video promoted by Cervenka claims the University of California, Santa Barbara, shootings were staged by the same agents who staged mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary and a Georgia FedEx facility...

Cervanka will perform X’s first four albums in their entirety in July with the other three original members of the band at the Roxy in West Hollywood.

I guess the crowd at Roxy's in West Hollywood will all find that an ultimate truth. But enough groups trash the families of the victims as they have done for all of these events, and say the government did it as usual.

Santa Barbara shooting was a anti-MRA gun grabbing false flag because, of course, why not?

That deserves a full read. The media induced hate has inspired going after all the groups asking for gun control with full malice:

Spitting, Stalking, Rape Threats: How Gun Extremists Target Women



http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/05/guns-bullying-open-carry-women-moms-texas

That article much worse than the video. A gunshot victim is being terrorized for asking for reasonable control after her fiance was killed and she was left paralyzed. She is not safe in public or even at home from their attacks.

It is worth the time to read and it shows how media has created an atmosphere of depraved indifference to the suffering of others and the death of discourse. Add to that the continual bash of all government agencies and budget slashing and you get what was reported going on in North Dakota:

Lakota Country Times: Firsthand Account Of Man Camp In North Dakota From Local Tribal Cop

Worth going to the link if one wants to see where American culture is going.

After 20 years of misogyny and division in mainstream media by Rush, the GOP and media, some expected a better outcome but it's time for the blinders to come off now.

YAY! We're doing it here, too:



Seattle City Light


Formed 1905: The first municipally owned hydro facility, Cedar Falls, begins generating power for Seattle.

Seattle City Light is the public utility providing electrical power to Seattle, Washington, US, and parts of its metropolitan area, including all of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park and parts of unincorporated King County, Burien, Normandy Park, Seatac, Renton, and Tukwila.[1] Seattle City Light is the 10th largest public utility in the United States and the first municipal utility in the US to own and operate a hydroelectric facility.

Seattle City Light is a department of the City of Seattle and is governed by Seattle City Council. Socialist Council Member Kshama Sawant heads the committee that oversees Seattle City Light...

Seattle City Light was the first electric utility in the nation to become greenhouse gas neutral (2005)[3] and has the longest running energy conservation program in the country. The utility owns a large portion of its generation, which is predominately hydro, so is able to offer some of the country's lowest rates to its customers (of utilities in urban areas)...

Seattle City Light residential customers currently pay about 8 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. Seattle has the lowest residential and commercial electrical rates among comparably-sized cities in the United States.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_City_Light

It also has a discount of 60% for lower income, which is higher than most state programs nationally, based on the average wage of $48K+ annually, or so they say.

And they promote solar energy:

http://www.seattle.gov/light/solarenergy/commsolar.asp

Other city agencies are giving information for solar hot water heating and cooking, encouraging the use of rain water to save water, recycling, composting, etc.

Of course, this is known as a *cough* blue area. Other than I love it here, what can I say?

They'd had their sport. The girls were dead, yet they made a public display to terrorize others.

Or the girls were hanging like hunting trophies on the wall, so they'd have bragging rights. They must have been so proud!

But it's not terrorism when it's done to women, right? Where is the family values and pro-life crowd?

Silly me! Of course they won't object. They're busy legalizing rape and murder in America.

Do ! need a icon? Or would one of these be more appropriate:

Americans and the world can longer afford wars with the challenges ahead.
