South Carolina Shooting – The Mathematics of Domestic Terrorism

By 6 Comments

The God fearing, freedom loving, patriotic Stupidparty disciples and their domestic terrorism heritage. 
An infantile Gun culture is one aspect of the conservative brain, in that it is an indicator of a lack of critical thinking and a fearful propensity toward violent resolution of disputes. —Patrick Andendall
The toxic brew of Good White Guys with Guns, Bibles and Bigoted Confederate Culture = Constant mass shootings.
He was big into segregation and other stuff,” Tyler told ABC News. “He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself.

There seems to be some confusion about why domestic terrorism might be the preferred option and who would more likely engage in such activities. 

Not all brains function the same way. You have the Conservative brain, with it’s more fearful singular nature and the not Conservative brain, which tends to be more adaptive.

“Fear makes man unwise in the three great departments of human conduct: his dealings with nature, his dealings with other men, and his dealings with himself. Until you have admitted your own fears to yourself, and have guarded yourself by a difficult effort of will against their myth-making power, you cannot hope to think truly about many matters of great importance.” —Bertrand Russell (“Outline of Intellectual Rubbish” in Unpopular Essays, 1950)

“ProCon.org has gathered 13 peer-reviewed studies of behavioral and neurological studies and come to the conclusion that differences between Republicans and Democrats are more than skin-deep. ‘Basically, the different sides have been yelling at each other for millennia, and we’re trying to figure out what could be the root cause of this,’ said Steven Markoff, ProCon.org’s founder. The studies looked at things like differences between groups’ perception of eye movement, and aversion to threatening noises. Researchers also noted that Democrats had larger anterior cingulate cortexes, which are associated with tolerance to uncertainty, while Republicans had larger right amygdalae, which are associated with sensitivity to fear . . . Markoff concluded the studies combine to mean that the different groups communicate in different ways [and] psychiatrist Greg Appelbaum said the studies point toward conservatives’ tendency to avoid something called self-harm, while liberals avoid collective group harm.”

The fearful Conservative brain fears the future, the present, it fears God, it is tribal and inclined towards fighting back, throwing the first punch, preemptive war. The Conservative brain is not simply satisfied with the status quo, it must take us back to its ill-conceived notions of past glories. The Confederate brain wants to take us back to 1760 and is still re fighting the Civil War – the glory days of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and white male dominance.
The Christian Fundamentalist brain wants take us back to a totally invented notion of the non-existent Misogynistic asset-stripping fearful warlike Jesus. This tribe must rely more and more on Myth and simply cannot handle the facts. They get around this by creating Fox News, or by creating an incestuous stream of unfounded propaganda or by not allowing Florida legislators to mention the term climate change. The irony being that these fake Christians are surely worshiping the wrong prophet. If you approve of Misogyny, Wars, a Sinner who can simply repeatedly repent and provide a rationale for taking us back to 18th  century values (or 7th as the case may be), then surely Mohammad is your man. The Fundamentalist right of Islam likewise dream of taking every one back to the life and times their prophet of around 600 A.D.— while obliviously ignoring the various bad practices back in 600 A.D and Mohammad’s questionable actions. Islam has a rather clever way of maintaining its “caged brains”- criticize the Prophet – you must die, leave the faith – you must die – women not only must do as commanded but must accept beatings and worse – not to mention the fate of the rest of mankind (infidels)—these are the ultimate tools of tyranny. It is quite easy to circumnavigate the absurdity of certain Christian beliefs – one can simply default back to Jesus’s actual teachings. With Islam the solution is a bit trickier.
But at the end of the day there is little difference between Pat Robertson and Fundamentalist Mullahs, between the Confederate secessionists and the tribalism of the Sunnis and Shiites, between the anti science Stupidparty leaders and the mythical fears of Islam.
But these Conservative beliefs, it’s blind faith, it’s refusal to engage in critical thinking – it’s suppression of the facts, it’s back to front notions of Freedom, Patriotism, Liberty, Heritage and the intent of the founding fathers and the Constitution—it leads to an intellectual dead end. The Conservative brain is cornered – they cannot win any intellectual debates so they must resort to cheating, lying and even violence. They are exceedingly good at this and the Supremely Stupidparty Court has become their ally in the deconstruction of a once exemplar Democracy now devolving into  an Oligarchy. An infantile Gun culture is one aspect, in that it is an indicator of a fearful propensity toward violent resolution of disputes:
firearms death rate per 100,000
 Elsewhere I prove that more guns do not make one safer. But just wanting to punch thy neighbor in the nose, well that is not always enough. These types are more likely to resort to terrorism on a grander and more random scale.

First let us is look at successful domestic terror plots. 88% of Terrorist plots were committed by those on the extreme right of the political spectrum.

Now let us look at foiled terror plots since 2000 – (where we understand the motivation):

Here the extreme Right has an ever larger edge – responsible 93% of the time
failed plots since 2000
Now let us Look at Plots since 2010. (excludes N Korea cyber attack, another shooting no apparent political motive)
plots since 2010

Now a stupidparty disciple might argue – “We are patriots, we are not like those foreign brown Arabists.” Well here’s the thing—no, you are not patriots and yes, you are not simply like the foreign terrorists -you are significantly worse and twice as lethal.

“When white males on the far right carry out violent attacks, neocons and Republicans typically describe them as lone-wolf extremists rather than people who are part of terrorist networks or well-organized terrorist movements. Yet many of the terrorist attacks in the United States have been carried out by people who had long histories of networking with other terrorists. In fact, most of the terrorist activity occurring in the United States in recent years has not come from Muslims, but from a combination of radical Christians, white supremacists and far-right militia groups” (Salon.com, originally from Alternet.org).

Washington (CNN): They’re carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.

“A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.

Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.​

The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.

A survey last year of state and local law enforcement officers listed sovereign citizen terrorists, ahead of foreign Islamist and domestic militia groups as the top domestic terror threat. The survey was part of a study produced by the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. All of this activity is one of the reasons why we have an increasingly militarized and Gun snappy police force, killing countless unarmed people.

In 2013, a man who held anti-government views carried out a shooting attack on three Transportation Security Administration employees at Los Angeles International Airport, killing one TSA officer. Last year, a couple killed two police officers and a bystander at a Las Vegas Walmart store.

Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said that by some estimates, there are as many as 300,000 people involved in some way with sovereign citizen extremism. Perhaps 100,000 people form a core of the movement, he said.”

tweet apartheid flagMake no mistake about it – it is that conservative brain that represents an existential threat to us all. It is not simply on the domestic front that it is on testosterone overdose, it is now desperately trying to manufacture a preemptive strike on Iran – having already launched its illegal War in Iraq. The myopic Iraq escapade, has now left a vacuum for the similarly un-evolved brains of ISIS to fill. This  conservative fearful bigot brain – fanned by the Stupidparty politicians through hate radio, Fox News and pseudo journalism, exciting an easily duped base to vote against their own economic interests and the overall interests of mankind. In this case who many bloody clues do you need, how many opportunities do you provide for these guys to full fill their infantile wet dreams?

south carolina passes unlicensed concealed carry

Oh – I know – South Carolina, here’s an idea, let’s make concealing guns even easier. Let’s propagate the false notion (that only a moron would believe) that more guns = more safety. But they are not just morons -they are overwhelming moronic, as the South Carolina House has just since passed an unlicensed concealed carry law. Really! Have you guys not heard of a cooling off period, a chance for your tiny little brains to reboot after a systems crash that happens every day with in thirty minutes of waking up?

It is the simple laws of physics – you hit someone and they will seek to hit you back. The doctrine intrdylann storm roof fearedoduced by Jesus, of turning the other cheek, is simply too nuanced for a conservative brain. True freedom is when the “caged brain” can free itself of Dogma, of Myth and ignorance driven bigotry. This freedom can only come about when the critical thinkers that still exist within the Stupidparty take some responsibility and abandon their party, recognize the false equivalence that has slowed their wits – and disown a party that is far closer to a hate GrOuP than the more respected party of the 20th century. Because if these critical thinkers would just abandon the cave dwellers – these hapless delusional deceived folk would be forced from their caves and into the sunlight of facts, truth and science  and seeing that they have been duped would likely renew their connection to the rest of mankind.

So how does the Stupidparty react to all this?

Morons within Morons within Morons – sounds like the next script for a Christopher Nolan movie.

      Yet you are too stupid to actually find an error – learn to read, think and do research. We are not interested in illiterate Trumpeteer gibberish.
