Researchers lie. People die.

On February 15, the Washington Post's John Woodrow Cox and Steven Rich wrote: "It is a horrifying statistic. And it is wrong."

What were they talking about? They were talking about an organization called Everytown For Gun Safety (EFGS) that tweeted:

Our hearts are with all those impacted by the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida today.

This is the 18th school shooting in the U.S. in 2018. https://t.co/YdPLz4zuOS

As is my Citizen Journalist's habit, I always let people and organizations speak for themselves. I did the same with EFGS. Come to find out, they have a very specific agenda — and it isn't the safety of our children in schools. What does this opening screenshot from their website tell you about them?

It tells me they believe violence exists because of the gun lobby. EFGS is correct: Thoughts and prayers are not enough to honor victims of any violence. But the ultimate action this organization pushes is to disarm everybody except police and soldiers.

Oh, sure. They say they only want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals by closing loopholes in laws that allow criminals, terrorists (domestic and imported), and those with mental health issues to buy guns.

Hello, EFGS. Those laws already exist. Criminals, terrorists, and crazies don't recognize laws. They will steal from anybody, or purchase from other criminals, what they need. But to push their agenda, EFGS resorts to...well, let's let you decide.

How about this next screenshot from their site? What does it tell your logical mind?

It tells me that if we had this many school shootings since 2013, then we would be living in a war zone. WashPo's Cox and Rich drilled down to how EFGS built their stats and guess what? Go on. I'll give you one guess. Did you guess that the stats were misleading in the extreme? Good for you.

So EFGS lied? Reminds me of medical researchers who claim their data proves Ultimate Solution to Big Health Problem A has been found by them. Big payday to follow, only...

Only the research results cannot be duplicated. Uh, oh. Researchers lied. Patients died.

Obviously, Everytown For Gun Safety is no different. They have an agenda. They love power in their hands. This is their war. And since we know that everything is fair in love and war, it simply follows that they will continue to lie. Oh, and raise money. Which tells us what, boys and girls?

Which tells us they are Commies because they want the power and the money and want you to fund the killing of your ability to defend your freedom. 

Michael Bloomberg's name keeps getting dragged into this organization as a co-founder or backer, and maybe he is. But here is what Bloomberg is against: Illegal guns.

Other than criminals, who isn't against them? 

As a survivor of two armed robberies, one involving a drawn out hostage situation, hell, I'm against illegal guns, too. But who gets to define which guns are legal? Ah...

EFGS, and other P-HWPCDLRSFCs* are against all guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens. In their circular logic, they believe loopholes are the cause of mass shootings and that if these loopholes continue to exist then everybody who wants or has a gun will be capable of doing the shooting or supplying those who will.

We've seen what happens when rogues within governments disarm a populace. 

First, they lie about the need to control something. That something that needs controlloing is always for the protection of the citizens who are powerless against that something. Criminals always seek the easiest opportunity.  Need I say more. Maybe I do.

Here is a Politically Correct Invitation to Bad Guys: Come on. Hurt us. We won't fight back.

Lido Pimienta generates fake racism event so she doesn't have to pay for column inches.

I once knew a man who delivered spiritual-based talks. He was a good speaker. Folks wanted to politely clap at the end to show their appreciation. But this man had a gimmick that was guaranteed to get them to think about him longer. Every time he'd say, "Do not clap for me. Instead, bow your head in prayer and think about the lesson today and talk to God about it. I am nothing. Merely an instrument and if you clap for me you will be worshiping a man, not God."

He was so self-righteous about his nothingness that it came across as creepy. Of course nobody clapped. Who wants to self-identify as a worshiper of a human when God is in the house. 

Lido Pimienta, a proudly Brown female performer, also has a gimmick. You see, she tells white audience members to move to the back and all the Brown girls to move to the front. But her gimmick is not what you think. 

Pimienta wants you to believe she is all about level playing fields and access for all and so forth. She isn't. But we'll get to the real reason for her gimmick momentarily.

Pimienta says she's never had any trouble with getting the white folk to do move until she went to Halifax. In Canada. Yes, Canada, that bastion of free healthcare and political correctness that all good Politically Correct Democratic RINO Socialist Fascist Commies in the U.S. say is where they want to be. 

Halifax did not give the result she wanted. Self-identified as an immigrant, Afro-Indigenous person, intersectional feminist, mother and all of the other signifiers that qualify her as other, Pimienta claimed overt racism from all whites in the audience if they merely stood closer to the stage than a black or brown person.

Her great comment was that she didn't have time to waste with the white aggressive racists who were taking time out her set.

But there was not problem until Ms. Lido made one. And the scaredy-cat whiny butt festival fell right in line with it saying —

“We are going to try our best as a festival to create ways to make our spaces safer and more accessible for you. We hope we can rebuild some trust and that you will come back to our shows.”

But see, nobody was kept out. Everybody got a ticket. It was all safe until Ms. Lido made the problem. No fights in the audience. Everybody ready to hear some good music.

Until Pimienta deployed her gimmick to get free column inches in newspapers. 

From the DailyWire.com to Billboard.com to the NationalPost.com and more mainstream media outlets, Pimienta received massive amounts of free advertising and all she had to do was pose as a do-gooder who cares.

Snoop Dogg and Eminem do the same thing, too. Here's my case history of Mathers. Here's the offer I made to Calvin.
