At the time of this writing, it is January 8 (Tues), but I have news from the future. I traveled to the future and saw the lovely and insightful Lauren Lyster, the Wonderful Woman (Twitter site: https://twitter.com/LaurenLyster). Her January 9 Wednesday debut on Yahoo! Finance's the Daily Ticker was horrendous. She spoke too infrequently and was constantly interrupted by her incompetent co-workers. She didn't have enough control over the show's program. She was not the megastar of the show. She did not have the opportunity to interview various economists. She didn't get a salary raise and a bonus. What a great injustice.

EU unemployment tops 26 million for 1st time (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505123_162-57562690/eu-unemployment-tops-26-million-for-1st-time/). I'm guessing EU unemployment data is as inaccurate as America's. It paints a simplistic picture of (un)employment issues to satisfy the ruling class's fantasies, to pacify the zombie herd and drone armada, to defend the wealth and influence of the kleptocracy, etc.
America's oligarchy are trying to blackball and slander Chuck Hagel, because Chuck Hagel refuses to be a fanatical Zionist: Elliott Abrams joined the movement to defame Chuck Hagel with anti-Semitism (http://mondoweiss.net/2013/01/elliott-abrams-semite.html). Apparently, America requires successful people to be a Zionist extremist. The Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI), a Zionist organization, bought ChuckHagel.com to defame him (http://www.dailydot.com/news/israel-chuck-hagel-secretary-defense-domain-squat/). Yes, goyim must not differentiate, but Jewish supremacists will discriminate. Thus, Zionist whackjob, John Brennan, is Newspeak for "a patriotic professional".

Many US government officials and many Americans want to ban assault rifles or further restrict the second amendment (which is not centered on hunting or entertainment, but focuses on defending against and overthrowing immoral, illegitimate governments). They cherry-pick data to prove how very strict gun-laws will create a safer society.
They ignore Switzerland's superior gun culture: Gun ownership is very high in Switzerland, but gun murders are low, because Switzerland has a mandatory militia that requires extensive military-firearms training (http://www.businessinsider.com/switzerlands-gun-laws-are-a-red-herring-2012-12). Switzerland is also less racially or ethnically diverse than America. Lots of controversial or debatable data show that blacks cause more crimes than Hispanics, whites, and Middle Easterners; and Hispanics, whites, and Middle Easterners cause more crime than East Asians. In addition, putting lots of races, ethnic groups, and cultures into one nation could easily cause lots of misunderstandings, disagreements, arguments, and conflicts. Even when you consider various income levels, this data is consistent.
They understate the health problems and deaths caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy foods (McDonald’s McRib Sandwich a Franken Creation of GMOs, Toxic Ingredients, Banned Ingredients --- http://www.blacklistednews.com/McDonald%E2%80%99s_McRib_Sandwich_a_Franken_Creation_of_GMOs%2C_Toxic_Ingredients%2C_Banned_Ingredients/23482/0/38/38/Y/M.html). Year 2009 data about deaths caused by unhealthy lifestyles and unhealthy foods: (1) Heart disease killed 599,413 Americans; strokes killed 128,842 Americans; cancer killed 567,628 Americans; diabetes killed 68,705 Americans; 36,909 Americans committed suicide (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm). I left out data about car accidents, work-related accidents, medical errors, etc. (2) Year 2009 data: 9,146 Americans were murdered by guns (http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states). According to the FBI, handguns are used to murder many times more Americans than rifles and shotguns (2009 data) (http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2009/data/table_20.html). The FBI data even showed how sharp melee-weapons and hand-to-hand attacks murder more Americans than rifles and shotguns.
Mexico allegedly has much stricter gun-laws than the US, but that doesn't stop criminals and drug gangs from murdering thousands of Mexicans every year (http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/mexico-proves-strict-gun-laws-won%E2%80%99t-prevent-massacres/).
I just looked at deaths. I did not look at injuries.
In summary, decreasing the number of murders caused by firearms is NOT a simple issue. Simply banning firearms or "assault rifles" is a politically correct solution, but it is NOT a practical solution to make America safer in many ways. We need to allow each state to customize its own laws to promote safety. In regard to gun safety, I would like to try a solution similar to Switzerland's militia training. Here is an introduction to California's civilian gun laws: "How to Own a Gun and Stay Out of Jail" (California 2012 edition) (http://www.gunlawpress.com/). In regard to healthy lifestyles and healthy foods, that is a much more complex and difficult topic.

Old news, but still funny: On 2012 February 7, Paula Broadwell told her interviewer, Arthur Kade, about her biography about David Petraeus, "When I realized the opportunity I had to tell this message to present this portrait of strategic leadership, you know it's not it's not a hagiography. I'm not in love with David Petraeus, but I think he is present a terrific role model for young people, for executives, for men and women. No matter what, there is a great role model there who is values oriented, who speaks the truth to power. . . . " [Bold font added by me] (Source: Gen. Mark Kimmit, Michael Hastings Lt Col Rick Francona talking Petraeus on Piers Morgan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRXZ0GntrtM)).
Sometime in the second half of 2012, someone leaks out information about Paula Broadwell and David Petraeus having an affair. Haha! "ABC station botches Petraeus book cover: ‘ALL Up IN My Snatch’ " (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/13/abc-station-botches-petraeus-book-cover-all-up-in-my-snatch/).

What TV’s Highest Paid News Reports Make (http://12160.info/profiles/blogs/what-tv-s-highest-paid-news-reports-make). According to that new article, the mainstream media greatly rewards its TV propagandists. Peddlers of liberal propaganda include (1) Joe Scarborough of "Morning Joe," who happily brainwashes zombies for $4 million per year; and (2) Katie Couric (CBS presstitue VIP) receives a $15 million yearly salary. A neo-con(artist) storyteller is the festering, bloated, and beached carcass popularly known as Rush Limbaugh. He snorts up, drinks, and injects himself with $28 million per year while puking, excreting, and farting out his allegedly superior morals. He basically reminds drones to paint by the numbers.
No, I'm not being unfairly harsh on Limbaugh. Here is one example out of many: (1) Rush Limbaugh has a history of publicly censuring drugs and drug users (http://fair.org/extra-online-articles/limbaugh-on-drugs/). (2) Limbaugh was/is addicted to painkillers, and he used/uses fake prescriptions to satisfy his addiction (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/28/AR2006042801692.html). I think Rush Limbaugh is also addicted to food. Apparently, a large number of Americans think Rush Limbaugh is a role model, a cultural leader, a top spokesperson for conservative America, etc. In reality, he is a propagandizing charlatan.
They are grossly rewarded by their too-big-to-fail corporate-masters and inflationary-taxation central-banksters to bicker repeatedly over which parasitic party is better, the Democrublicans (i.e., mosquitoes) or the Republicrats (i.e., leeches). However, they all LOVE the genocidal Nazi state of Israel. Zionists continue to gradually wipe out Palestine to make glorious benefit for God's Chosen Ones, but black Jews need not apply (http://alethonews.wordpress.com/2012/06/24/israel-promised-land-for-jews-as-long-as-theyre-not-black/). It's another example of, "Goyim must not differentiate, but Jewish supremacists will discriminate".
It's not enough for international Jewish supremacists, Israel, and Zionist goyim to steal land from Palestinians and pretend their crimes are Holy and humanely just. Israeli border guards interrogated for more than 5 hrs and stole a trophy from a Palestinian girl, 11 year-old Dania Husni Al Ja’abari, who excelled at an international math test (http://gulfnews.com/news/region/palestinian-territories/israeli-guards-seize-trophy-of-little-girl-1.1126432).

American Freshman Survey claimed today's American students have a greater sense of entitlement and exaggerate their own achievements more than previous generations (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2257715/Study-shows-college-students-think-theyre-special--read-write-barely-study.html?ICO=most_read_module). This could explain how the USA ended up with presidents like the half-brained prince (i.e., Bush Jr.) and Mr. Hope-for-Change-We-Can-Believe-In, YES WE CAN! (i.e., Obama). This could also be the reason for our too-big-to-fail corporations and inflationary-taxation central-banksters. This is probably the reason the oligarchy, their zombie herds, and drone armada continually create and maintain expensive mandatory failures (MEF). One major MEF is the onerous public-schools or highly regulated private-schools that are expensive, mandatory to pay for, mandatory to attend, mandatory to send your kids to, and highly inefficient. Another MEF is the mainstream media that cross-dresses as a free press, but, in reality, is a corporate-government propaganda-factory.
The ultimate delusion-of-grandeur is the God complex, which is more frequently exhibited by God's Chosen People. The Madoff brothers worshiped themselves so much that they cannibalized their fellow Jewish supremacists. Now they are paying the price. Ponzi schemist, Peter Madoff (Bernie Madoff's younger brother) yielded his $4.6 million apartment, lost all possessions, and prepares for a 10 year prison sentence (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2257752/Bernie-Madoffs-brother-sells-Park-Avenue-apartment-4-6million-prepares-head-prison-10-years-Ponzi-case.html). The Madoff brothers would be suffering far less severe penalties if they had focused on swindling goyim.

Despite the additional mass shootings, competent and honorable people should continue to own firearms. Incompetent and/or immoral people should be restricted from owning or using firearms. Incompetent and/or immoral people do NOT need firearms to injure and kill lots of people: America’s Biggest Killers: The Chart Anti-Gunners Don’t Want You To See (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/americas-biggest-killers-the-chart-anti-gunners-dont-want-you-to-see_01052013). Highly competent and insidious people could seize control of multiple nations. The unofficial 4 branches of the kleptocratic corporate-government include (but are not limited to): (1) military industrial complex, (2) politically powerful Wall Street firms, (3) the oil cartel, and (4) the healthcare sector (http://www.hangthebankers.com/the-four-business-gangs-that-run-the-us/).
