This is one of the finest articles ever written deconstructing the methods of the left used to influence and brainwash. Thanks for sharing it.

[Yosemitest]

Let's CLEAR their minds.
Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

" Today, military service for Swiss males is universal. At about age 20, every Swiss male goes through 118 consecutive days of recruit training in the Rekrutenschule. ...

Even before required training begins, young men and women may take optional courses with the Swiss army's M57 assault rifle.
They keep that gun at home for three months and receive six half-day training sessions.

From age 21 to 32, a Swiss man serves as a "frontline" troop in the Auszug, and devotes three weeks a year (in eight of the 12 years) to continued training.
From age 33 to 42, he serves in the Landwehr (like America's National Guard); every few years, he reports for two-week training periods.
Finally, from ages 43, to 50, he serves in the Landsturm; in this period, he only spends 13 days total in "home guard courses."

Over a soldier's career he also spends scattered days on mandatory equipment inspections and required target practice.
Thus, in a 30-year mandatory military career, a Swiss man only spends about one year in direct military service.
Following discharge from the regular army, men serve on reserve status until age 50 (55 for officers).

By the Federal Constitution of 1874, military servicemen are given their first equipment, clothing and arms.
After the first training period, conscripts must keep gun, ammunition and equipment an ihrem Wohnort ("in their homes") until the end of their term of service.

Today, enlisted men are issued M57 AUTOMATIC assault rifles and officers are given pistol.
Each reservist is issued 24 rounds of ammunition in sealed packs for emergency use.
(Contrary to Handgun Control's claim that "all ammunition must be accounted for," the emergency ammunition is the only ammo that requires accounting.)

After discharge from service, the man is given a bolt rifle free from registration or obligation.
Starting in the 1994, the government will GIVE ex-reservists assault rifles. Officers carry pistols rather than rifles and are given their pistols the end of their service.

When the government adopts a new infantry rifle, it sells the old ones to the public.

Reservists are encouraged to buy MILITARY ammunition
(7.5 and 5.6mm-5.56 mm in other countries-for rifles and 9 and 7.65 mm Luger for pistols)
which is sold AT COST by the government, for target practice .
Non-military ammunition for long-gun hunting and .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammo are not subsidised, but are subiect to NO sales controls.
Non-military non-hunting ammunition more powerful than .22 LR (such as .38 Spl.) is registered at the time of sale.

Swiss military ammo must be registered IF bought at a private store, BUT NEED NOT BE REGISTERED IF bought at a range.
The nation's 3,000 shooting ranges sell the overwhelming majority of ammunition.
Technically, ammunition bought at the range must be used at the range, but the rule is barely known and almost never obeyed.

The army SELLS a variety of machine guns, submachine guns, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers and cannons.
Purchasers of these weapons require an EASILY OBTAINED cantonal license, and the weapons are registered.
In a nation of six million people, there are at least two million guns, including 600,000 FULLY AUTOMATIC assault rifles, half a million pistols, and numerous machine guns.
Virtually every home has a gun.

Besides SUBSIDIZED military surplus, the Swiss can buy other firearms easily too.
While long guns require NO special purchase procedures, handguns are sold only to those with a Waffenerwerbsschien (purchase certificate) issued by a cantonal authority.
A certificate is issued to every applicant over 18 who is not a criminal or mentally infirm.

There are NO restrictions on the carrying of long guns.
About half the cantons have strict permit procedures for carrying handguns, and the other half have NO rules at all.
There is NO discernible difference in the crime rate between the cantons as a result of the different policies.

Thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Swiss gun lobby, semi-automatic rifles require NO PURCHASE PERMIT and are NOT registered by the government.
Thus, the ONLY long guns registered by the government are FULL AUTOMATICS."

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember:

The beauty of the Second Amendment is
that it will not be needed
until they TRY to take it.

Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

"For the first time, the left had the backing, money, power, expertise and technology to really do what it has always wanted to do in this country.
And it worked. "

Not exactly!
They had to STEAL it!

"Stolen?
Then you should get right on this and prove it."

First watch 8 minutes 16 seconds of video titled Romney defeated Obama - if not for voter fraud.

Then ... read and think about this.

Someone wrote:

"I believe there was voting fraud,
but that it was not the reason Romney lost.
Even without fraud he would still have lost. "
I don't completely agree.
I believe there WAS ENOUGH Voter Fraud to throw the 80 Electoral College Votes from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Florida.
I also believe that had Romney SAVAGED Obama, like he SAVAGED the Conservatives that ran against him in the Primary, Romney would have gotten more votes in the General election.
So yes, it's Romney's fault, but there WAS ENOUGH VOTER FRAUD to steal the election for Obama.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank you!

I read Dan’s essays every day, and this is the BEST thing he has ever written (so far! LOL)

This gentleman is a GENIUS!

I like his essays even more than I do Ayn Rand’s.

I am currently reading “The Gulag Archipelago”, and it fits right in with Dan’s message today.

Thank You, expat1000, for your perseverance and diligence in keeping this thread going every day.

(((HUGS)))

Yeah, I agree that this one is really exceptional, even for him. It's like every 5th or 6th one is truly awe-some. I don't like to post a comment along with his pieces but was sorely tempted on this one (again!).

Along with everything else, the ability to find a fresh topic, and an important and topical one every two days or so - I'm just blown away by that. I don't know of anyone else that comes even close.

Thanks for the hug - back to you! :-)

This is pretty darn interesting. You should consider this and think on how what Greenfield is talking about affects getting our point of view across on firearms.

Thanks much for the ping, Expat.

This one is exceptional and particularly timely.

More than ever, conservatives not only need to get fellow conservatives to get off the couch and act, but we also need to “convert” voters, especially the “low information” folks.

These techniques are the only way to do that. Instead of sitting in our corner and ranting with disdain about the “sheeple,” we should be trying to bring them into the fold.

The Sultan is very, very good at what he does.

[blueunicorn6]

Wow.

[Reeses]

The left has always excelled at using cultural technology like this in its culture wars.

The left's most effective technology to date is food stamps. Give free food to any animal whether they need it or not and you've won their heart and mind. The culture war is over and we lost. There are only a few game changers at this point: a bubonic type plague that wipes out millions of city slickers, a nuclear war that wipes out large cities, or national bankruptcy like USSR went through. Today Russia has a 13% flat tax, next to no national debt, and a king model of government.

WOW! Thanks for the Ping, LTOS!

I am so glad you liked it!

The left has always excelled at using cultural technology like this in its culture wars. It studies the mechanics of how people can be convinced of something with far more intense interest than any car salesman. It is not interested in winning the debate, but in rigging the debate. It does not want to convince you that it is right, but to change you into the sort of person who innately understands that it is right.

It is trying to program you. It has been doing so since you were born. It will go on doing it every time you turn on the television or set foot in a movie theater.

Daniel Greenfield needs to put pen to paper - write a book - a hard cover book - NOT just publish on the Internet. A common totalitarian move is to destroy the ideas of the opposition. Truth tellers and their musing would be the first to go... In our time - a time of on-line books and a paperless essays, it's too easy. A keystroke could destroy all vestiges of our culture - anything not written down in hard copy would be gone. We'd be back to word of mouth and hand written memories. The Gettysburg Address would survive. It's short and many people have momorized it. But the Constitution? Maybe enough saved 'copies' but even that would be at risk in a few years... It would be "bye bye' Animal Farm, 1984 and Orwell, Greenfield, Rush Limbaugh Leonard Cohen, Charlie Daniels, Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Rush, Krauthammer, Hannity (ummm,not necessarily in this order.. and many many more).

It'll happen...or could. It's why Greenfield's giving us warnings - what to watch for - how to counteract it if the nightmare happens... We won't be the first culture to be overrun by power hungry elites... we would be the first group rounded up... Lessons to learn. Hope for the best - prepare for the worst... keep a hard copy...

[Fred Nerks]

...The left is not any good at policy, but it is very good at controlling people. Like the world's worst car company, they can't make a car that works, but they have a hell of a sales staff.

A faulty product and more salespeople than workers...does the economy no good, but the government can fix all that, can't they? /s

>>Daniel Greenfield needs to put pen to paper - write a book - a hard cover book - NOT just publish on the Internet.

The thing is, he should be writing *many* books because what he has to say on so many different topics is important, but he is in the process of writing a book - I think mostly about the Islamic takeover of the west.

[Actually_in_Tokyo]

Thank you so much everyday, especially today.

>>Thank you so much everyday, especially today.

You made my day with that, so thank *you*! Really, now that I have worked out a routine, there’s not much work or time involved.

Here's a good one for you:
