America, Anaconda, and Church: 100 YEARS AGO PRESIDENT WILSON SIGNED
A DEATH WARRANT FOR THE U.S. ECONOMY.
AUDIT THE FED
The Federal Reserve is the glue that marries corporations to the government.
As Governor of NJ, Woodrow Wilson understood (at least on paper) the danger of marrying corporations to the state.
Wilson wrote:
---
“The great monopoly in this country is the money monopoly. So long as that exists, our old variety and freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question."
---
As president, Wilson flipped his position completely as he shackled America with The Federal Reserve:
---
“It is absolutely imperative that we should give the business men of this country a banking and currency system by means of which they can make use of the freedom of enterprise and of individual initiative which we are about to bestow upon them.”
---
America's Founders wisely separated the marriage of Church & State.
It's time to separate the marriage of Corporation & State.
Audit The Fed ... and once Americans see the mischief, the logical next step will be obvious to all:
End The Fed.

<p>This was supposed to be a light-hearted and fun joke post, but fine. Let’s do this.<br/></p>
<h2><b>There is no valid logical rational reason why any normal US citizen
should own a machine literally designed for no other purpose than to
kill human beings.</b></h2>
<p>I own several guns and have shot literally thousands of rounds over the last couple of years, yet I haven’t killed or even harmed a single living creature. Huh… I guess my guns must be broken since they can’t even fulfill their “only purpose”.</p>
<h2>
<b>A disgustingly huge amount of people are DYING to these things every
month, just trying to go about their normal lives. That trumps your
ill-chosen hobby.</b><br/></h2>
<p>Many anti-gun advocates will point out that there were 33,000 people killed by guns in 2013. While this is a terrible number, we must also put this number into perspective against the grand scheme of things. There are an estimated 340-370+ MILLION legally owned guns in
America, not even including illegal black markets that we cannot
effectively track. This means that, even if we use conservative
estimations, literally over 99.99% of the guns in America didn’t kill a
single person in 2013.</p>
<p>When we look at the big picture, your chances of being harmed by a gun are actually very low.<br/></p>
<p><b>Chances of being shot or killed based on firearm deaths and population count:</b></p>
<p><b>Death by gun, suicide excluded:</b><br/>0.0032%</p>
<p><b>Death by gun, suicide included:</b><br/>0.0095%</p>
<p><b>Death in a mass shooting alone:</b><br/>0.000032%</p>
<p><b>Injury by gun, no death:</b><br/>0.024%</p>
<p><b>Death of injury by gun including suicide:</b><br/>0.033%</p>
<p>Gun
deaths and injuries etc based off general stats used by anti gun
people, rather than exact numbers from each year because its faster and
easier to do. Going by exact yearly figures would result in very little
change to the average numbers used above.</p>
<p><b>Guns compared to other ways you can die:</b></p>
<p><b>

</ul><p><b>All firearms deaths (suicide excluded):</b></p>
<ul><li>Number of deaths: 12,664 <br/></li>
<li>Deaths per 100,000 population: 3.6</li>
</ul><p><b>Firearm deaths broken down completely:</b></p>
<p>3.6 for homicide <br/>6.3 for suicide<br/>0.30 for unintentional <br/>0.10 undetermined</p>
<p>
10.3 for deaths total in general of 3.6 for homicide only. You are more
likely to trip and die than be killed by a gun. Cars kill more than guns
but are not even protected by the constitution and isn’t a right, and
are less regulated than guns!

<p>Many people will also cite mass shootings as a reason that guns are evil and should be banned, but this assertion also falls flat and looks ridiculous when put into perspective. While these stories draw media attention and are absolutely horrible,
you seem to have casually and conveniently left out the part where these
attacks account for less than even one quarter of 1% of America’s
overall murder rate. About 0.2% to be more exact.</p>

<p>Quite
simply put, guns save innocent lives. And they do so far more often
than they hurt them. When guns are harming more innocent lives than
they are protecting, it could be argued that it might make sense to
further limit guns.</p>
<p>But for now, it’s not even close. Moving on…<br/></p>
<h2><b>There is no solution better than the one that several European countries

<p>Sorry, but strict gun control has been an absolute failure in both Australia, The UK, and everywhere else it has tried. It has done nothing to effectively reduce murder, violent crime, suicide, or even gun violence rates. It has done nothing to achieve its desired goal of creating a safer society. It is, and always will be, a complete failure.</p>
<p><b>Australia:</b></p>
<p><i>[this segment brought to you by <a href="http://lee-enfeel.tumblr.com">lee-enfeel</a>]</i><br/></p>
<p><a href="http://www.news.com.au/national/is-australia-staring-down-the-barrel-of-a-gun-crisis/story-fncynjr2-1226690018325">People die Australia as a result of firearms violence at almost the same rate they did prior to the firearms act</a>, and some sources state that more than a quarter million illicit firearms exist in Australia currently.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/productsbytitle/9C85BD1298C075EACA2568A900139342?OpenDocument">total firearms death rate in 1995 </a>-
the year before the massacre and the laws introduced - was 2.6 per
100,000 people. The total firearms murder rate that year was
0.3/100,000. From 1980-1995, Australian firearms deaths dropped from
4.9/100,000-2.6/100,000 without the implementation of firearms laws.
This is a rate of decline that has remained fairly constant; Looking at
1996-2014, in which the rate has dropped from 2.6-0.86, it shows that
the decline has been slower in a longer period of time since the law’s
passing. Likewise, homicides declined more quickly in the 15 years prior
to the firearms laws (0.8-0.3) than in the 18 years since it (0.3-0.1).
This just indicates that firearms deaths haven’t been noticeably
affected by the legislation you’ve claimed has done so much to decrease
gun crime. <br/></p>
<p>It should also be noted that around the same time,
New Zealand experienced a similar mass shooting, but did not change
their existing firearms laws, which remain fairly lax; even moreso than
some American states like California, New York, or Connecticut. Despite
this, their firearms crime rate has declined fairly steadily as well,
and they haven’t experienced a mass shooting since.</p>
<p>The <i>“australia banned guns and now they’re fine”</i>
argument is really old and really poorly put together. Gun control is
little more than a pink band-aid on the sucking chest wound that is
America’s social and economic problems. It’s a ‘quick fix’ issue used by
politicians to skirt around solving the roots of the violence problem
in the United States, which are primarily poverty, lack of
opportunities, and lack of education.</p>
<p>You could ban guns tomorrow nationwide and gun violence and overall violent crime would not be reduced at all.</p>
<p><i>[this segment brought to you by <a href="http://tmblr.co/m9F_132GzodNt-UaipnK67g">cerebralzero</a>]</i></p>
<p>In 2005 the head of the New South Wales Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, Don Weatherburn,<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Australia#cite_note-37">[37]</a></sup>
noted that the level of legal gun ownership in NSW increased in recent
years, and that the 1996 legislation had had little to no effect on
violence</p>
<p>In 2006, the lack of a measurable effect from the 1996
firearms legislation was reported in the British Journal of Criminology.
Using ARIMA analysis, Dr Jeanine Baker and Dr Samara McPhedran found no
evidence for an impact of the laws on homicide.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Australia#cite_note-40">[40]</a></sup></p>
<p>A study coauthored by Simon Chapman <b>found declines in firearm‐related
deaths before the law reforms</b> accelerated after the reforms for total
firearm deaths (p=0.04), firearm suicides (p=0.007) and firearm
homicides (p=0.15), but not for the smallest category of unintentional
firearm deaths, which increased.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Australia#cite_note-43">[43]</a></sup></p>
<p>Subsequently, a study by McPhedran and Baker compared the incidence of
mass shootings in <b>Australia and New Zealand</b>. Data were standardised to a
rate per 100,000 people, to control for differences in population size
between the countries and mass shootings before and after 1996/1997 were
compared between countries. <b>That study found that in the period
1980–1996, both countries experienced mass shootings. The rate did not
differ significantly between countries. Since 1996-1997, neither country
has experienced a mass shooting event despite the continued
availability of semi-automatic longarms in New Zealand</b>. The authors
conclude that “the hypothesis that Australia’s prohibition of certain
types of firearms explains the absence of mass shootings in that country
since 1996 does not appear to be supported… if civilian access to
certain types of firearms explained the occurrence of mass shootings in
Australia (and conversely, if prohibiting such firearms explains the
absence of mass shootings), then New Zealand (a country that still
allows the ownership of such firearms) would have continued to
experience mass shooting events.”<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Australia#cite_note-44">[44]</a></sup></p>

<p>At this point I should also probably point out that Australia’s gun laws have not even reduced gun ownership in Australia. <a href="http://louderwithcrowder.com/australian-gun-ownership-rises-gun-crime-remains-low-america-still-at-fault/">In fact, gun ownership in Australia is actually higher now than in 1996.</a></p>
<p>All
of these inconvenient facts aside, we haven’t even touched on the cost
of implementing Australian style gun control in America.</p>
<p>I keep hearing people say that the US should adopt Australia’s gun
control policy and I don’t think they have really thought about the big
picture of that plan.</p>
<p>Australia had far less guns per person and
people in their country did not live in a society that was brought up
respecting The 2nd Amendment. The culture of Australia is very
different than that of the culture of America when it comes to gun
ownership and self defense.</p>
<p>Because of this, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_buyback_program#Australia">the Australian government was able to buy back 631,000 guns at the estimated price of about <b>$500,000,000.</b></a> You read that correctly, <b>500 MILLION</b>.</p>
<p><a href="http://cerebralzero.tumblr.com/tagged/australia">And
even after all of that, it still did nothing to prevent violent crime
and criminals in Australia still have access to illegal guns, </a>despite
being an island country that isn’t bordered by other countries with
high violent crime rates and rampant with illegal drug cartels.<br/></p>
<p>There are over 360,000,000 legally owned firearms in America. If we go by Australia’s numbers (<b>$792.39 per gun</b>), these guns would cost our government <b>$285,261,489,698.89</b> to buy back. Almost <b>300 BILLION dollars</b>, assuming that every gun owner voluntarily turns in their guns… Which is a very slim to nothing chance.</p>
<p>Who’s going to pay for that? Anti-gunners? I think not.</p>
<p>So, in closing, you want America to put in place gun legislation that will cost the country hundreds of billions of dollars <b>AND </b>has
already been proven time and time again to be completely ineffective at
protecting innocent lives or creating a safer society?</p>
<p>Seems pretty silly.</p>

<p>Would make it clear that a gv’t buyback has never been on the table. Also, cars are registered, which is reasonable. Gun shows have too many loopholes. America has a specific culture that is unique when it comes to guns. Not sure anything we do will make people feel truly safe, but reasonable measures are worth a try. Thorough background checks are reasonable. Taking away all guns? Not so much. Good thing is, very few advocate for that.</p>

<h2><b>Would make it clear that a gv’t buyback has never been on the table.</b></h2>
<p>Maybe not a mandatory federal one, no. But government gun buybacks are most certainly a thing here in America.</p>
<h2><b>Also, cars are registered, which is reasonable.</b></h2>
<p>You know that guns are not cars, right?</p>
<h2><b>Gun shows have too many loopholes.</b></h2>
<p>What loopholes would those be? Please enlighten us.</p>
<h2><b>Not sure anything we do will make people feel truly safe, but reasonable
measures are worth a try.<br/></b></h2>
<p>The fact is, WE HAVE TRIED STRICT NATIONAL GUN CONTROL.</p>
<p>Does the year 1994 or the name Clinton ring a bell to anyone? Anyone?</p>
<p>From
1994 - 2004, there were strict national gun control laws in place in
America. They included most of the laws that are being proposed now.
An “assault weapons” ban. Magazine capacity limits. All of that.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/204431.pdf">Guess what?</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/204431.pdf">IT WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE.</a></p>
<h2><b>Thorough background checks are reasonable.</b></h2>
<p>We already have mandatory federal NICS background checks, where the buyer’s criminal and mental healthy history are reviewed and have to be approved by the FBI, for every FFL purchase.</p>
<h2><b>Taking away all guns? Not so much. Good thing is, very few advocate for that.</b></h2>
<p>Except for people in politics, the media, and every social media platform I can think advocate for just that every single day.<br/></p>

<p>but like if you could save 33000 peoples lives a year, by giving up a hobby would you?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A hobby? Sure. No problem.</p>
<p>However, me owning a gun is not merely a hobby. It is the most effective tool at protecting my life, the lives of my family, and the lives of innocent lives around me. I’m sorry, but self defense and self preservation are not “hobbies”.</p>
<p>Furthermore, it’s a bit of pipe dream anyway considering that we have decades of evidence from all over the world that proves that gun control and even gun bans do not effectively reduce murder or violent crime rates. They do not create safer societies. Sure, it might look good on paper and feel good to think about, but reality just doesn’t align with those dreams.<br/></p>
</blockquote>
<p>hey I’m glad for all the sources because this is changing my perspective but you gotta admit that at the very least requiring extensive background checks, mandatory waiting periods, and registering guns would help at least reduce gun violence a little bit and would help solve cases b/c registers guns</p>
</blockquote>
<p>No, I do not have to admit that at all because all of these measures are in place in states like California, New York, and Washington DC, yet they have not made these societies any safer from murder, violent crime, or even gun violence.</p>
<p>So, no I do not have to nor will I be admitting that at all because it simply isn’t true.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>oh? is that so? so if buying an automatic weapon is as easy as picking up a prescription that’s <i>not</i> going to make it easier for anyone who’s upset to get a gun and then fire it on people??? o k</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Automatic weapons are extremely regulated for civilian ownership in America. They cost tens of thousands of dollars on the low end all the way up to hundreds of thousands of dollars on the high end, they are registered with the federal government, the owner must apply for a special NFA license which requires a thorough background check that takes months or even years to get approved, paper work must be kept with the weapon at all time, the weapon cannot have been manufactured after 1986, they require a federal tax stamp to own which also can takes months to over a year to get processed, the owner must also designate a licensed gun dealer who will take possession of the weapon in the event of their death, and on and on and on…</p><p>If you truly believe that acquiring an automatic weapon in America is as easy as “picking up a prescription”, then you are simply ignorant to the subject of automatic weapons and just do not know what you are talking about.<br/></p><p><a href="https://www.atf.gov/qa-category/national-firearms-act-nfa">https://www.atf.gov/qa-category/national-firearms-act-nfa</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act</a></p><p><a href="http://m.dailykos.com/story/2012/12/17/1171047/-There-are-240-000-fully-automatic-guns-in-the-US-and-only-2-deaths-in-80-years">http://m.dailykos.com/story/2012/12/17/1171047/-There-are-240-000-fully-automatic-guns-in-the-US-and-only-2-deaths-in-80-years</a><br/></p></blockquote>

Learnt an interesting thing today on this arabic course
The original Arabic number system looked like this, the one we now
use
It was designed so each character had the corresponding number of
angles to the number, so the number 1 has 1 angle, 2 has 2 angles,
3 has 3, 0 has none etc...
It is so obvious now, I've always assumed its one of those things that
just is, with no logical explanation, but here it is, perfectly simple and
satisfying
My jaw is legit on the floor right about now :D

Alive, Bad, and Fail: YOU ONLY FAIL
IF YOU QUIT
Before success comes to you, you'll meet a good deal of temporary defeat, and perhaps permanent failure, if you quit. Quitting may seem like the easiest and most logical thing to do, but rewards only fully release themselves to us once we refuse to quit. - Here are a few reasons why you shouldn't quit: ✔️ It's not the end result that is so important, but what becomes of you in the process of getting there! You can never know all that is within you if you don't test yourself. ✔️Most successes don't come until we practice persistence. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Don't be discouraged if you fail a few times! Most of us quit after one failure. 🤔 ✔️ Your situation isn't as bad as it seems. Sylvester Stallone's wife left him and he had to sell his dog just so he could have 50 dollars to keep his dream of being an actor and screenwriter alive. He kept going and found the inspiration for Rocky, and won the Oscars. 🔥 ✔️What do you have left if you quit on your dreams and goals? F*cking nothing... - dontquit winner success millionairementor

Surprising things to do to help you to think outside the box. (Yes, you can also train your mind to do this 😉) - One of the most important skills you can have in the business world is to be able to think outside the box. You take the same information that everyone else has and look at it differently, often finding a better way to solve problems and make your business more efficient and profitable. (Just in case your didn’t know what it actually means) - ✔️Take a class. Learning a new topic will not only teach you a new set of facts and figures, it will teach you a new way of looking at and making sense of aspects of your everyday life or of the society or natural world you live in. This in turn will help expand both how you look at problems and the breadth of possible solutions you can come up with. ✔️Draw a picture. Drawing a picture is even more right-brained, and can help break your logical left-brain’s hold on a problem. Also, visualizing a problem engages other modes of thinking that we don’t normally use, bringing you another creative boost. ✔️Turn it upside down. Turning something upside-down, whether physically by flipping a piece of paper around or metaphorically by re-imagining it can help you see patterns that wouldn’t otherwise be apparent. The brain has a bunch of pattern-making habits that often obscure other, more subtle patterns at work; changing the orientation of things can hide the more obvious patterns and make other patterns emerge. 😉 ✔️Work backwards. Just like turning a thing upside down, working backwards breaks the brain’s normal conception of causality. This is the key to backwards planning, for example, where you start with a goal and think back through the steps needed to reach it until you get to where you are right now. - Do you have strategies for thinking differently?
