Terrorism & Counter-Terrorism: Two Sides of the Same Coin. The mass counter-terrorist hypnosis has begun. The latest gun violence is no surprise to me.
You all may or may not know as of last night that a shooter hit the former U.S. pres. Donald Trump with a bullet in the right ear during a political rally and a day before the Republican Party gathering as they prepare for the last stretch of the campaign with Trump leading that Party into the 2024 election in Nov. of this year.
Tensions are high and getting higher, political rhetoric and polarization are at a peak. Meaning anxiety and fear are peaking in that country and around the world, for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that Right wing fascist like leaders and outright fascists are winning over some governments around the world this year in unprecedented proportions. A terror run through the land, and Trump is situated in that Right conservative extremist agenda overall. No wonder all his incitements of violence against others in his years in politics since 2018 at least, he is finally overtly attacked by a single gun man on a roof with a number of bullets. Of course, the gun man was immediately killed by counter-snipers of the CIA etc. It was a suicide/assassination project by this person whom at this time we don't know any more of their identity or motivations but it is clear that a message of violence was met with a message of violence. Violence begets violence and under that is fear begets fear. This is how "terrorism" of all kinds (and its underbelly of fearism-t) work.
The times of spectacles of violence and the massive replays by media outlets of Trump being shot in the ear live on camera, will continue, like 9/11... this induces a shock and awe trance in the people, and the rallying of the patriarchal authorities to show they are "strong" and "in charge" and just listen to them and what they tell you--because that is the truth and will bring you safety under their powers of control. This is a most dangerous time in the wake of shock and awe to hypnotize people with messages and mesmerization. Another form of terrorism (fearism). And, its all about "guns" and who gets to wield them. For more on "shock doctrine" (i.e., indoctrination as perpetrated in times of emergency) go to Naomi Klein's book for example, "Shock Doctrine" which looks at this phenomenon and links it to "disaster capitalism" and political manipulation.
I've been thinking about how everyone has to give up their guns at a rally like that to get into the perimeter. Only the law enforcement types are to carry. Yet, it is odd that people at the Pennsylvania event have to give up their constitutional right for the sake of that rally and safety of the political candidate. Why is that? It is because people are terrified that someone will shoot a political leader at any time. The ironic and paradoxical insanity is not that hard to see what is going on. It is even more bizzare when you think about how "law" operates so arbitrary at times, like at a rally. The government tells us you have a right to carry (arms)--and, yet, you have to give them up because we tell you and we only will carry arms. Look, I am no gun lobbyist. I think guns are symbols of fear gone excess and overboard and is toxic to any society--it makes crazy people and they do crazy things. So, I thought to let you know I am most concerned we avoid getting hooked in the shock and awe and turn to the path of fearlessness--read the various blogs over the six years herein this website, and/or other places. Otherwise, it is easy to get caught up in other people's agendas of weaponizing fear for use to control. You can empower yourselves, just by recognizing what is going on. We can talk about this more as a FM ning community as well.
I looked up to see if Pennsylvania (where the rally and suicide/assassination was carried out) has gun laws of "carry" and they do. Here is an excerpt.
The opening paragraph states "without a permit" just because you are a citizen of the US, and somehow deemed "law abiding" however that is monitored(?). The 2nd Amendment is clear about guns as part of society. And, that means, violence is part of society. No country with such gun laws is going to be violence free, and in fact gun laws were put in place to manage gun violence. It's like an insanity of trying to manage fear by more fear, manage violence by more violence. And, pretty much that is the definition of "war" as it is known for as long as human history. We live in war torn states and a world where war is constant as a way to manage violence with violence. So, again, I post this up on the FM nign to show you how 'normal' and crazy this has become in logic and reasonable understanding and law. When you step outside of the 'Fear' Matrix of it all for a few moments, or longer, you see much what I am seeing about exactly why the former President would be shot, sooner or later. I won't even go into all the number of statements he has made about using violence against people in his country. Of course, the other President (incumbent) is only not saying these things out loud like a Trump, but the actions of their presidency and violence against people in his country or abroad, are no less gruesome and inhumane. That's my point. Guns are inhumane, and yet, are legalized in the USA constitution. So, what should we expect from that sanctioning (of violence)--that policy on guns(?).
