* In 2011, NATO (particularly the US, UK, and France) explosively liberated Libya, worked with the Libyan rebels or terrorists to assassinate Libya’s Gaddafi regime, and allowed Libya to fall apart into a failed state of Islamic terrorism (which is a similar pattern in Iraq, Saddam’s regime, and Muslim terrorists).
* Also in 2011, Syria began to experience protests by minority groups, and then terrorists from various nations began to fight Syria’s Assad regime. NATO (mostly the US and Turkey), Israel (which promotes radical Zionism), and Saudi Arabia (which promotes advocates Islamic extremism) have supported the Islamic rebels or “moderate” Muslim terrorists in Syria.
* Between 2011 to 2017, Salman Abedi traveled back and forth between the UK and Libya (possibly Syria, too). On 2017 May 22 (Mon) night ~10:30 pm, at England’s Manchester Arena during the end of Ariana Grande’s concert, Salman Abedi used a suicide bomb to murder at least 22 people and injure nearly 60 people. According to ongoing investigations, Salman Abedi and some of his friends and relatives have connections with the Muslim radicals in Libya and Syria.
The mainstream media and corporate-governments of the US and EU refuse to admit the connections between global Islamic terrorism, supporting proxy rebels or violent insurgents in Middle Eastern nations (e.g., modern Libya, modern Syria, and Afghanistan during the Cold War), and assisting oppressive proxy regimes in the Middle East (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen, and Israel). The empire of the Zionist US kleptocracy insists its global expansion is vastly more good than bad and its widespread foreign interventions do not result in blowback, but these imperial excuses are modern-day myths to entrench the oligarchy and its loyal servants. The oligarchy wants everyone to simplistically believe the terrorists are motivated by a hatred of freedom.
In reality, the war against terrorism cannot be won, because one regime’s terrorist is another regime’s freedom fighter, and today’s freedom fighter could become tomorrow’s terrorist. To solve rebellion or terrorism, you must fix incompetent and/or corrupt governments. To create a better government, the general public must demand it and create a better culture throughout society. This is a very old concept that was converted into a modern and famous novel, “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” by George Orwell.
The general public is suppose to be represented by the government or benevolently led by the government. That’s the essence of Plato’s The Republic, the Analects of Confucius, democratic elections, the United States Constitution, etc. In the real world, we have thousands of years of feudalism, which is a government of parasites claiming they have the divine right and magically superior heritage to lord over everyone else by any means necessary. We also have relatively modern political systems such as socialism, communism, fascism, and crony capitalism. The US government claims to be the global leader of freedom and justice, but the US federal government and US state governments conspired with telecommunication corporations to legally create a cartel that monopolizes the Internet, phone, and television. Then the cartel tries to rip off customers or the general public as much as possible:
* “Customer Sues Charter, Time Warner Cable Over “Broadcast TV” Fees; Doesn’t Seek Monetary Damages” (https://consumerist.com/2016/11/11/customer-sues-charter-time-warner-cable-over-broadcast-tv-fees-doesnt-seek-monetary-damages/)
* “The Consumerist Guide To Understanding Your Charter Cable Bill” (https://consumerist.com/2016/03/08/the-consumerist-guide-to-understanding-your-charter-bill/)
In my part of San Diego, California, it’s either get ripped off by AT&T or ripped off by Charter Spectrum (which recently bought Time Warner Cable). This cartel constantly tries to raise the prices of its Internet, TV, and phone services with a limited variety of more expensive deals (thus, customers cannot get exactly what they want in this hi-tech age), special deals that only last for one year (thus, customers have to constantly bounce back-and-forth between one service provider and another service provider), hidden fees, etc. This problem exists all over America.
Across America, telecommunication corporations, Congress, state legislatures, mainstream media, and major banks have very low approval ratings or very high disapproval ratings. Across America, the established legal system forbids people from creating competitive telecommunication corporations and/or public telecommunication services (for example, water services, sewage systems, electrical power grids, and roads are primarily regulated by US government agencies and secondarily handled by contracted companies). Yet, America outspends every nation on its allegedly superior dumb-mock-crazy elections. Paying a premium price for mediocre to lousy services and/or products is a ripoff.
Ripoffs are becoming the new normal across America. Before ObummerCare, Americans had the most costly health-insurance system in the world, but the health services were more-or-less average when compared to other wealthy nations. After ObummerCare, Americans are still stuck with a horribly inefficient health-care system. The upcoming TrampledCare from the Republican Party will NOT fix any of these problems. Republicans claimed to be creating a merit-based health-insurance system, but that's a total lie. Republicans are creating a health-insurance system for the money-junkie oligarchy and by the money-junkie oligarchy.
America's Federal Reserve central banksters have repeatedly bailed out major corporations (i.e., corporate leadership) that lived way beyond their means, but America's central banksters will not bail out seriously ill American commoners and provide at least decent health insurance to healthy American commoners. Medical bankruptcies are a major problem in American, and most medical bankruptcies involved patients with health insurance. In other words, health insurance helps the average American against minor health problems, but fails to help average Americans with major health problems. This is a backward application of insurance. Insurance is suppose to protect against the major problems and ignore the minor problems.
In addition, America’s medical system primarily focuses on intervention medicine and greatly underrates prevention medicine. The US government allows corporations to dishonestly sell, deceptively market, and fraudulently advertise junk food, poisonous cosmetics, harmful cleaning chemicals, medication with exaggerated benefits and understated drawbacks, and other toxic ingredients to Americans and the entire world. The US government created a mandatory education system that totally fails to educate Americans about real-world finances, efficiently effective health-related subjects, and other important lessons. Instead, the education system and mainstream media excrete a flood of partial truths mixed with lies, and this propaganda brainwashes the average person to obey the oligarchy.
Somewhat good news: “Professional hunter crushed to death by falling elephant” (https://www.rt.com/viral/389166-hunter-crushed-shot-elephant/). Scott van Zyl (white guy) lived in South Africa (which was once a colony of European invaders), and he traveled around Africa to hunt endangered animals. Fortunately, he was eaten by crocodiles, but, unfortunately, investigators killed a few crocodiles to find his remains. Scott van Zyl had a South African friend named Theunis Botha (white guy), and this jackass also hunted endangered animals around Africa. Theunis Botha was paid by wealthy Americans to help them go on colonial European hunting expeditions. Fortunately, Theunis Botha was fatally crushed by an elephant, but, unfortunately, he and his hunting partners shot some elephants before he died.
During modernity, hunting is only necessary for pest control (e.g., eliminating excess quantities of rats and mice) and for extremely rare survival situations (e.g., defending against attacking wolves). However, self-defense against wild animals could be achieved with bear spray and safety techniques when dealing with wildlife. People who hunt endangered animals (e.g., elephants, lions, leopards, tigers, rhinoceroses, and giraffes) fantasize themselves as bad-asses, Rambo, tough guys, or elite fighters. In reality, they are proud morons. Nearly anyone could pull a trigger and shoot up random animals and/or people. You could find so many news stories of inexperienced people, simple-minded people, downright idiots, and criminals using firearms and other weapons:
* Prehistoric people needed to hunt, because they lacked the experience or knowledge for sustainable agriculture. Throughout prehistory to ancient times to medieval periods to the age of colonialism to modernity, mankind has been using spears, throwing spears, bows and arrows, crossbows and bolts, traps, firearms, and other tools to hunt various animals into endangered status or extinction. The constant expansion of human communities has increasingly eliminated wildlife habitats. Hunting is so easy, a caveman can do it.
* In 2011 at Norway, white-supremacist Anders Breivik used his private gun collection to ironically murder 77 people and injure 319 people, and all of his victims seem to be white (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik).
* In 2012, Navy SEAL Gene “Geno” Clayton, Jr. (white guy) accidentally and fatally shot himself in the head when he tried to show off to a woman: “SEAL dies after accidental gunshot” (http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-seal-dies-after-accidental-gunshot-2012jan07-story.html).
* Retired Navy SEAL Chris Heben (white guy) has a history of fraud, but he received zero to minimal punishments, because he has sold himself as an American war hero. In 2014, he accused 3 unidentified black men of shooting him once in the stomach, but the police investigation strongly indicated he somehow shot himself in the stomach. The corrupt and incompetent court jury sided with him, because he is a retired Navy SEAL: “Former navy seal found not guilty of fabricating story about being shot by three black men” (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/4/1/1374956/-Former-navy-seal-found-not-guilty-of-fabricating-story-about-being-shot-by-three-black-men).
* Firearm accidents kill and injure many Americans per year: “More Americans were shot and killed by toddlers in 2015 than were killed by Islamic terrorists” (http://www.snopes.com/toddlers-killed-americans-terrorists/).
* In 2015 at France, Islamic terrorists (from the Middle East and Africa) used guns and explosives to murder 130 people and injure 368 people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks).
* On 2017 March 7, Catherine Kennedy (white woman) was driving home when she was accidentally and fatally shot by 2 Hispanic gang members who were aiming at rival gang members. The shooter is Dionicio Crespin Torrez, Jr. and his partner-in-crime is a teenage minor, and both are facing at least murder charges: “Escondido Woman Killed in Gang Shooting Mourned, Suspect Faces Judge” (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Escondido-Woman-Catherine-Kennedy-Mourned-Rosary-Funeral-416448803.html).
* At New York and other states across America, the Mara Salvatrucha gang (a.k.a., or MS-13) are violently recruiting gang members at schools, but school administrators are totally incompetent on dealing with these major problems: “Desperate Parents Pull Children Out of School Over Fears of MS-13 Gang” (http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/2250297-desperate-parents-pull-children-out-of-school-over-fears-of-ms-13-gang/).
* MS-13 gang members are mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras. This region has a decades long history of poverty, extremely violent gang wars, militant rebels, and governments that are violent, transitory, corrupt, and incompetent. El Salvador has a murder rate that is at least 15 times greater than the United States’ murder rate. Thus, over the past decades, millions of Hispanics have fled their homelands to the United States for safer and more opportunities: “Why tens of thousands of kids from El Salvador continue to flee to the United States” (http://www.latimes.com/world/mexico-americas/la-fg-el-salvador-refugees-20170216-htmlstory.html). During the 1980s, the MS-13 gang and other gangs were created by Hispanic immigrants inside America, and, when the American government sent these Hispanic immigrants back to their native lands, these gangs easily spread throughout Latin America. The US government’s foreign policy of favoring proxy governments, proxy rebels, and proxy cartels in Latin America further worsens the disputes and battles in Latin America.
* During the late 1970s to the early 1990s, the United States government greatly and closely supported a brutally violent, corrupt, and incompetent government in El Salvador to crush rebel forces that were supported by communist Cuba. This civil war killed at the very least 40,000 people and injured many more in El Salvador, which is a tiny nation of only 8,124 square miles. San Diego County, California state, USA has a surface area of 4,526 sq mi. After the Cold War during the early 1990s, El Salvador still suffers from internecine battles between gangs, rebels, and the government. The US government’s official story of what happened in El Salvador does not match other people’s testimonies, records, and evidence: “Too often the history of El Salvador's civil war lets the United States off too easily” (http://www.americamagazine.org/arts-culture/2016/12/06/too-often-history-el-salvadors-civil-war-lets-united-states-too-easily).
* In 2017 April at Fresno, California, Kori Ali Muhammad (black guy) believed a race war was occurring, thus, he gunned down 3 white guys: “Hate crime is suspected after a gunman kills 3 white men in downtown Fresno” (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-fresno-shooting-20170418-story.html).
* For only one weekend during 2017 May, the great city of Shit-cago suffered more shootings: “6 dead, 26 wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago” (http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2-dead-14-wounded-in-chicago-shootings-since-friday-evening/). Chicago has a history of high crime rates and other social dysfunctions. According to some reports, the large majority of Chicago’s criminal gunmen are young black men.
* 2017 May 20 at the University of Maryland campus, white-supremacist Sean Christopher Urbanski stabbed to death Richard Collins III (black guy): “Army lieutenant stabbed to death in Maryland; police investigate possible hate crime” (http://fox2now.com/2017/05/27/army-lieutenant-stabbed-to-death-in-maryland-police-investigate-possible-hate-crime/). The police investigation said Richard Collins III was completely innocent. Black students said the University of Maryland has a history of racial insults and threats against blacks and other non-white people.
The above incidences prove the overwhelmingly vast majority of people could use a firearm or other weapons. You do NOT need to be an elite fighter, arch bad-ass, or super-hero warrior to pull a trigger. A toddler could accidentally shoot a gun. An inexperienced person or stupid person could use a gun. Criminals of various backgrounds use guns. Hunting endangered animals is not an indication of superior combat skills. Hunting endangered animals is an outdated and superstitious tradition that permanently damages our ecosystem. Besides excessive hunting, the constant expansion of human communities continually diminishes and pollutes wildlife habitats. Thus, wild organisms constantly become endangered and then extinct. Extinction is permanent. Once an organism is extinct, the organism is forever gone from earth, and the organism cannot be brought back by modern science.
