On October 25, 2023 a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine killed 18 people and injured 13. The alleged shooter, Robert Card, 40, was pictured with a “long gun.” The suspect was caught on camera (although the pictures look different from shot to shot) - went on the run - and the motive remains unclear. Details about his “background” are slowly dripping out - and changing hour by hour - as usual.
He was found dead - “surprisingly” inside a nearby trailer two days later - that had been searched before - he allegedly shot himself in the head.
The day before, Kamala Harris had called to ACT on an “assault weapons ban”…
…while Biden met with the Prime Minister of Australia and later gave a speech on gun control. Why is that important? I’ll explain in my multi-part series on “mind control.”
PART ONE - HISTORY
Before 1990, gun control was NOT a big issue around the world. There were relatively few “mass shootings” and few discussions about “gun control” and gun confiscation.
In fact, in 1985, Senator Joe Biden said that gun control did not work to reduce crime:
“During my twelve-and-a-half years as a member of this body, I have never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime.”
That all changed in 1989 when “unexplainable” school shootings suddenly started happening in the United States & other developed countries of the world.
If you study the history of mass shootings and school shootings, you’ll see that each time the “body count” gets higher - and each time the motive is unclear - and each time the shooter is a criminal or mentally challenged or autistic or heavily medicated - and each time the end result is MORE gun restrictions and more gun control. Like clockwork.
Do you think that is a coincidence or is it all planned and engineered? Let’s review some facts.
On January 17, 1989, at the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, California, a gunman, Patrick Purdy, who had a long criminal history, shot and killed five schoolchildren, and wounded 29 other schoolchildren and one teacher, before committing suicide.
George HW Bush was inaugurated President just three days later on January 20, 1989.
On the day of the shooting, an anonymous person phoned the Stockton Police Department and warned of a death threat against Cleveland Elementary School.
Later that day, just before noon, Patrick Purdy, a disturbed drifter and former Stockton resident, started his attack by setting fire to his car that he had parked behind his former grade school.
At 11.40am, Purdy parked his car outside the school, got out, set it alight, and walked through the front gate armed with an long gun and two handguns. He proceeded to randomly shoot at the children sitting behind their desks while his car exploded outside.
Purdy calmly walked back outside and let loose with the AK-47. Survivors say he was firing the weapon in wide swoops, causing maximum carnage, in all directions. He then moved to the school playground and began firing with the AK-47 from behind a portable building. Purdy fired more than 100 rounds in three minutes killing five children and wounding thirty others including one teacher.
After 130 shots, Purdey pulled one of his handguns from his waistband and blew a large portion of his head off.
All of the fatally shot victims and many of the wounded were Cambodian and Vietnamese immigrants. Purdy had allegedly carved the words "freedom", "victory", and "Hezbollah" on his weapon, and "PLO", "Libya", and "death to the Great Satin" on his flak jacket, then took his own life by shooting himself in the head with a pistol.
Patrick Edward Purdy was born on November 10, 1964 in Tacoma, Washington and had a long criminal history, which began during early adolescence. He was allegedly an abandoned child, a drug addict, drug dealer, and a male prostitute & was once arrested for possessing a illegal weapon. In October 1984, he was arrested for being an accomplice in an armed robbery, and spent 32 days in the Yolo County Jail.
In April 1987, he was once more arrested for firing a semi-automatic pistol at trees in the Eldorado National Forest. Later in jail he tried to commit suicide twice, once by hanging himself with a rope made out of strips of his shirt, and a second time by cutting his wrists with his fingernails. A subsequent psychiatric assessment found him to suffer from mild mental retardation, and to be a danger to himself and others.
In the fall of 1987, he began attending welding classes at San Joaquin Delta College, then left and drifted between Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, South Carolina, and Tennessee searching for work. He eventually returned to California where he rented a room at the El Rancho Motel in Stockton.
According to his friends, who described him as nice and never violent towards anyone, Purdy was suicidal at times and upset and mad about the fact that he failed to "make it on his own.” He would say: "I'm so dumb, I'm dumber than a sixth-grader. My mother and father were dumb."
The multiple murders at Stockton in 1989 spurred calls for Congress to regulate “assault” weapons.
Time Magazine wrote: "Why could Purdy, an alcoholic who had been arrested for such offenses as selling weapons and attempted robbery, walk into a gun shop in Sandy, Oregon, and leave with an AK-47 under his arm? The easy availability of weapons like this, which have no purpose other than killing human beings, can all too readily turn the delusions of sick gunmen into tragic nightmares."
Prior to 1989, the only real gun legislation that was passed happened 20 years prior -after the assassinations of JFK & MLK.
President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963 and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination spurred leaders to pass the Gun Control Act of 1968. This act prohibited the sale of guns to convicted felons, drug users and the mentally ill, and also required firearm dealers to obtain licenses and imposed interstate sale restrictions. The law also raised the age to legally purchase a handgun to 21.
Then, in 1981, John Hinckley, Jr. tried to assassinate President Reagan and nearly killed his press secretary James Brady instead. [Many believe that George HW Bush had something to do with that.]
In 1986, President Reagan signed the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act which actually eased the penalties from the 1968 law, banned a federal registry of gun owners, and disallowed the ATF’s power to inspect gun dealers.
After the Stockton massacre in California in 1989, however, gun control ramped up and measures were taken to first define and then ban assault weapons.
On the Federal level, Congress struggled with a way to ban weapons like Purdy's military-style AK-47 without also including semi-automatic hunting rifles. In the end, Congress defined "assault weapons" as semi-automatic weapons with certain military-style secondary features such as flash suppressors, bayonet lugs, and pistol grips. These were banned in the Federal assault weapons ban, enacted in 1994, under Bill Clinton.
In 1994, the Republicans reclaimed the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. The key factor in the major Democrat loss pointed to the federal assault weapons ban that was passed by Congress on September 13, 1994.
Beginning in 1989, a few States had enacted their own assault weapons bans, but it was not until 1994 that a Federal law was enacted. Biden voted in support of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which became law in 1993 and established an interim five-day waiting period for handgun purchases and a national instant criminal background check system.
Both Biden & Reagan supported this Act. In 1991, Ronald Reagan said at a ceremony at George Washington University that he was an NRA member and supported 2A but also said: “I support the Brady bill and I urge the Congress to enact it.”
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was passed in 1993. This law created a system for background checks of licensed gun buyers, which was maintained by the FBI.
Although this national system prevented convicted criminals and potentially violent people from purchasing handguns, a loophole existed. The 1993 act did not cover private sales from one individual to another.
On September 13, 1994, the Crime Control Act of 1994—took effect. Subtitle A (the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act) of the act banned the manufacture, transfer, and possession of certain semiautomatic firearms designated as assault weapons and “large capacity” ammunition magazines.
Although the weapons banned by this legislation were rarely used in gun crimes before the ban, supporters felt that these weapons posed a threat to public safety because they are capable of firing many shots rapidly.
Or did the Government fear that We the People might have enough firepower to fight back?
On March 13, 1996, in the small Scottish town of Dunblane in the UK, a man allegedly shot to death 16 young children and their teacher, at an elementary school, before turning a gun on himself.
The gunman, Thomas Hamilton, lived in the town. He was a former Boy Scout Leader and alleged pedophile - nicknamed Mr. Creepy.
Just after 9.30am on March 13, 1996, the former Scout leader, Thomas Hamilton, drove into Dunblane Primary’s car park, got out of his van, and tried to block the phone lines of the school by cutting cables on a telephone pole.
He then entered the school carrying four handguns and 743 rounds of ammunition and wearing shooting earmuffs. He fired a couple of shots as he made his way to the school gym, where teacher, Gwen Mayor, had just taken her 29 Primary 1 (equivalent to American kindergarten) students for their physical education class.
He immediately opened fire, killing Mayor instantly and wounding two other teachers who were present in the gym, physical education teacher Eileen Harrild and teaching assistant Mary Blake and injuring and killing several children. Harrild and Blake took shelter inside a cupboard in the gym, bringing as many children with them as they could.
While most children were dragged into a store cupboard for safety by their teachers, Hamilton fired 16 shots at point-blank range at a group of children who had been injured by his previous shots.
Of them, 15 died instantly, while one child died later en route to the hospital.
Hamilton briefly left the gym, but continued firing shots towards the library and a mobile classroom. When Hamilton went back inside the gym, he dropped the gun he was using and chose another one, which he used to kill himself. The entire attack took less than five minutes. Mayor and 15 children were killed outright, and another child died in the hospital. A further 15 people, the vast majority of them children, were wounded.
A motive for the massacre was never established. Surprise!
One month later, in Port Arthur, a tourist town in the Australian town of Tasmania, 35 people died in a mass shooting on April 28, 1996. The perpetrator was a local man named Martin Bryant.
The majority of the victims were killed at the Port Arthur Historic Site, a popular tourist destination. Using two semi-automatic rifles, the shooter began his attack at a small café before moving into a nearby gift shop, killing twenty people indiscriminately in a short amount of time.
Many others were killed at the site's car park, including several children. After killing its four occupants, Bryant stole a vehicle at the site's tollbooth and drove to a nearby service station, where he killed a woman and abducted her partner. He continued to fire at passing vehicles and killed his hostage. He set fire to the property but was captured the following morning.
Bryant initially pled not-guilty to the 35 murders, but changed his plea and was sentenced to life in prison, never to be released. His motives have never been revealed.
This massacre led to a complete overhaul of Australia's gun laws. The National Firearms Agreement between state and federal governments was announced within two weeks of the massacre, establishing heavy restrictions on the use of automatic and semi-automatic weapons and creating a gun buyback program, a national gun registry and a waiting period for firearm sales.
In 1987, 9 years before the massacre, the Premier of New South Wales Barrie Unsworth had said: "It will take a massacre in Tasmania before we get gun reform in Australia.” Well, he got his wish!
A redesign of the laws for all states and territories of Australia had been prepared by officers and presented a year before the shooting in 1995 - but it had been rejected by Tasmania. Another coincidence?
Following the spree, the Prime Minister of Australia led the development of strict gun control laws within Australia and formulated the National Firearms Agreement, restricting the private ownership of semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic shotguns and pump-action shotguns as well as introducing uniform firearms licensing.
The massacre happened just six weeks after the Dunblane massacre with UK Prime Minister reaching out to his counterpart over the shared tragedies; the United Kingdom passed its own changes to gun laws the next year.
Under federal government coordination, all states and territories of Australia restricted the legal ownership and use of self-loading rifles, self-loading shotguns, and tightened controls on their legal use by recreational shooters. The government initiated a mandatory "buy-back" scheme with the owners paid according to a table of valuations. Some 643,000 firearms were handed in.
After the Dunblane massacre in the UK, handgun control became highly political.
Handgun ownership had been increasing in the 1990s in the UK and sports shooting was a fast growing sport. The gun control lobby argued that Britain’s developing gun culture was responsible for the Dunblane shooting.
By March 1999, 165,353 licensed handguns and 700 tons of ammunition were surrendered in the UK. Residents of Dunblane initiated the Snowdrop Campaign (named for the spring flower that was in bloom at the time of the mass shooting) to seek changes in British gun laws.
The campaign’s petition gathered some 750,000 signatures, and a letter written by the mother of one of the slain children was printed in two national newspapers. In February 1997, the UK passed law banning private ownership of handguns above .22 caliber, and in November 1997 the ban was extended to all handguns. In addition, security requirements for gun clubs were expanded.
Nobody expected what happened next. An 105% increase in recorded handgun crime occurred between 1998 and 2003. It opened up a whole new gun market in the UK comprising non-firing “realistic imitation” firearms (hitherto largely unknown in the UK), BB guns, and high-powered air weapons.
The rise in handgun crime had nothing to do with the handgun ban and everything to do with the changing patterns of supply and demand in the illegal firearms market. In the face of some of the world’s toughest gun control laws, criminal ingenuity worked to create new supply routes into Britain to meet criminal demand, even as local intelligence-led policing has sought to suppress the demand for firearms in “gang affected” communities. Criminals don't obey gun laws.
Today, violent crime in England and Wales is rising at an accelerating pace, according to police figures showing a 22% increase in knife crime and 11% rise in gun crime. London's murder rate has grown by 40% over the past three years and now surpasses New York's. Robberies are way up and, even more disturbing, are committed while people are at home because criminals know that people aren't armed and can't protect themselves.
Arab gangs roam the streets on mopeds in London and throw acid in pedestrian's faces and slash at shoppers with machetes. London's ERs have so many knife attacks, the floors are covered in blood and burn surgeons are overwhelmed. White vans, filled with armed terrorists, run down pedestrians and then jump out to shoot and stab those that are still alive. Suicide bombers plant so many devices around popular spots that London has eliminated trash cans and placed barricades everywhere.
How has London Mayor Sadiq Khan responded? He is out confiscating crochet needles and screw drivers and cautioning unarmed citizens to run and hide if they face armed criminals. The police will come and help you. Right. Good luck with that. People, NEVER EVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS.
While the Maine shooter killed 18 people in America - Biden was meeting with the Australian Prime Minister - a country where a mass shooting resulted in massive gun confiscation - and Kamala was out pushing an assault weapons ban & gun confiscation. Coincidence? I think not.
Even more creepy, the latest episode of ALONE AUSTRALIA is actually taking place on Tasmania and is filled with political narratives about COVID, gun control & PTSD. Coincidence or more NWO brainwashing? I’ll discuss that in Part 2.
