Absolutely. 49 people were killed, whether they were straight, gay or somewhere in between is immaterial. What really matters is that the gunman was a Muslim. Yet another Islamic terror incident in America on Obama’s watch.
Well, the government now controls history. They guy was a right-wing gun-nut who targeted gays because of Trump's hate speech.
REFERENCE “Obama Decree Unleashes “Behavioral Science” Squad to “Nudge” You
(by Alex Neman Sept. 18, 2015, The New American)
“Under the guise of better “serving” the American people through government, Obama signed an executive order this week calling for federal agencies and departments to deploy emerging “behavioral science” techniques against the public.
“The Obama order also establishes a Social and Behavioral Sciences Team charged with applying psychological research to manipulate the beliefs and behaviors of Americans under various pretexts, and guide the vast federal bureaucracy as it hones its abilities to manipulate the public. “ --SNIP--
==================================================
ANIMA MUNDI INSIGHTFULLY POSTED---people believe the absurd----(a) a total turn around on public opinion on gay marriage, (b) global warming tagged climate change in order to maintain credibility, and, (c) even in the face of Hillary looking into the camera and admitting to lying and betrayal, she still is supported.
(Adding: (d) Muslims are peaceful, (e) Mexico is our friend, (f) illegals violate our borders looking for a better life, (g) The Clinton Foundation is saving the globe.)
Behavioral Sciences and psychology are dismissed by our side while being USED by the other side. Psychology is not just “counseling” or some frivolous study. It is a weapon when used in certain ways to strategically position image, words, feelings of large groups of people.
Trayvon Martin becomes a cause, the Gentle Giant is on everyone’s lips, but Kate Steinle killed by an illegal in San Francisco??? Well, “things happen.” Benghazi? “Well, so long ago”, etc.
We had better start paying attention to this stuff and grab the language, stop using their terms, stop giving into their demands, stop apologizing for offending them, stop changing team names and acting as if their complaints are real when they are not.
All of it is connected and goes back to manipulation of public opinion. These tools are available to us as well. Reframe arguments, never let anything go just to be popular.
