GuestThe woman in the video is a prettier and better spoken version of the wife of a forgotten man.
The NRA now represents the armed forgotten men and their women — people under siege who need guns to defend liberty to the last breath.

ParticipantFor a long time the NRA agenda has been to sell guns. Now it seems the NRA message is to encourage Americans to use guns against dissenting opinion.
Umm. it does not say that. I would call this comment of yours an attempt to inflame on false pretenses. Nor does the video pose the targetting of the lives of dissenting opinion. It targets the mis-use of MSM to mold ideas and consensus instead of factually informing. Quote from video and description:
The only way to save our country and our freedom from their lies is to fight the violence with the clenched fist of truth.
The reason that some false news feeds are so successful is that people know something is wrong and they MSM is not really digging into it.
- Obamacare was supposed to reduce costs of health care, but everything has gotten significantly more expensive and now people are trapped. Unlike before – insurance is almost necessary for everyone. We have paid into the system and if you exit – you have to admit that all the thousands of dollars an individual paid in were wasted – basically flushed down the sink. The ACA exploited us using principles of gambler addiction. Basic Generic Antibiotic costs have jumped 10x (1000%). The MSM parrots that the costs are dropping – but sometimes put a single line ‘disclaimer’ that clarifies that ‘some’ prices are dropping. Consumer reports are showing that prices are increasing across the board. Specialty (non-generic) prices are increasing very rapidly. Links for reference:

https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/why-many-generic-drugs-are-becoming-so-expensive-201510228480- We have politicians like Pelosi saying that we must pass the bill (ACA) so we can know what is in it. And the MSM did not dig into the questions that statement creates. If they (Congress) wrote it, wouldn’t they know what was in it? Isn’t it their job?
Things like these are the things that your video is referencing. As for lobbying, all paid lobbyists have tremendous influence over our legislature. Not just the NRA.
Part of this:
“They use their media to assassinate real news”
“They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler. They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again.”
Is provably true. Just look at who and what all of the MSM targets. There is plenty to target on both sides of the political isle.

You are such an independent thinker – not influenced by the “mainstream” at all.
But why the rant about ACA? Trump fixed that during his first 100 days in office. Just like he promised you he would.

Participantpowerful speech, hope the momentum builds.
Although the NRA is so powerful we may need a nationwide school boycott until something finally gets done.
February 18, 2018 at 11:08 AM #809336GuestI’m predicting that the culture war will create more nutcases and more shootings.
When nationalistic people of low education think the media, sports, Hollywood, the educational and political systems are against them, they are more likely to flip out. The “clenched fist of truth” can easily turn to “a fusillade to the heart of the enemy” kind of like the Oklahoma City bombing.
The economy has recovered nicely on the coasts and big metros. The gap between the new economy and the old economy is growing. And there is a bunch of armed angry men in left behind areas.
February 18, 2018 at 11:54 AM #809338ParticipantActually, it sounds as if the NRA along with the whole conservative movement has been infiltrated by Russian agents or something.

Remington’s Bankruptcy May Be the Tip of the IcebergFirearms companies face declining sales, falling stock prices and tremendous debt. Gunmaker American Outdoor Brands Corp., formerly known as Smith & Wesson, has seen its stock plummet by almost half from 2017. On Monday, Remington Outdoor Co., an iconic, 200-year-old American firearms manufacturer, announced it’s planning to file for bankruptcy.
in other words, its just geo-political **cough** (“FSB” the initials might have changed from KGB, but its the same mindset/players) “mind games” that corporate gun companies need to boost sales

anyway one topic discussed is external political influence (where machines don’t have to hacked because the voters/media minds have been hacked long before the actual election day)
PS I don’t live in the 49th district so don’t have a dog in that political fight so to speak,… having said that did find it refreshing that she mentioned that USA has “no cyber doctrine” and that she is very, vary, vary interested in the topic (given qualcomm “tech” background, its actually not too surprising)
along those lines one thing I brought up in a discussion is what happens if a nation-state were to hack SWIFT

sadly if it were to happen, sara mentioned the US political establishment would be clueless[/quote]Some of your statements on this post, I would agree with.. others not. However this one I would have to strongly agree with.
The US has a very skilled cyber warfare unit. However they way we deal with it at a political and civil level makes us look like bumbling fools.
- Why do we allow companies to put out SW so riddled with holes that it is a joke in terms of security, yet beat up hackers who discover some of these holes. Companies profit by putting out crap because you have to pay for maintenance to fix the holes, and they have lower NRE costs by applying the mantra of “Ship it, fix it in the field”.
- On a non-damaging hack into a company, we beat up the hacker – even if it was a white hack proving the company’s IT was asleep at the wheel. What about the company who’s poor maintenance allowed it to be a springboard for hacks into other companies?
- Why do we give such a pass to China for the amount of wide hacking sweeps that China does? Russia is bad, but China is out of control. China likes to use ‘altered’ PDF files sent as billing info, docs etc to try to break in to a company through Adobe Reader.
- We tacitly (not explicitly) ban hacking classes at the Universities – not ‘politically correct’. What is presented is ‘ethical’ hacking – which is really watered down and almost useless. Even the Philippine Universities have ‘practical’ hacking classes. How can you know how to write clean tight code if you don’t know how people break it?

But why the rant about ACA? Trump fixed that during his first 100 days in office. Just like he promised you he would.[/quote]
Nothing like a strawman argument. He didn’t fix it because the Republican party could not get it’s ass together. It was supposed to be ‘repeal and replace’, however some in the GOP didn’t want a repeal, some didn’t want any replace. He did ‘disable’ it – by removing the mandate. If you want to participate in the ACA, then you have a choice to.. but you don’t have to. Trump is dealing with an entrenched political establishment from both sides that does not want any changes that really fix things for the people. The political establishment has very simply done two terms Repub, two terms Democrat and so forth for the past several years, resolving nothing and always making it more difficult for us, the people.There seems to be ‘mainstream’ and ‘alt-mainstream’. As I have pointed out so many times before.. it is to keep us busy arguing using stupid strawman arguments and red-herrings that we the people don’t get our ass together and tell these idiots to GTF out of Washington.
To throw your strawman argument back to you, harvey; you are such a independent thinker that you take what the MSM says without question because they, of course, have our best interests at heart and swallow whatever the Democratic party provides because they are the most progressive and must therefore be at the forefront of whatever is new, good and ‘happening’. — a little snark added.

Your view that the clenched fist of truth ends up being assault from the pro NRA types is very weakly supported. Note that ANTIFA, which is proven to assault, and intimidate is actually an extreme arm of the ‘liberal’ side.

True, correction noted – however it is also known that many in the Democratic Party really didn’t know what was in it – it was nearly 2 reams of paper. If Nancy Pelosi really knew what was in it, she could have summed it up in a 20 min ‘chalk talk’, instead of resorting to jingoisms.Here are some interesting refs:
https://www.termlimits.com/congress-fundraising-priority/
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-are-members-of-congress-becoming-telemarketers/I thought they were supposed to work for us? They spend so much time doing fund raising that someone else writes the bills – and they just ‘sign it’.
NOTE: The amount of fundraising done by politicians is about 1.7Bil est per year. What would happen if that money was spent on actually helping people?
