Which Elite Foundation Decided "You Shall Be Deprived of Self-Defense"?
Freep | 10/5/2016 | CharlesOconnell

Posted on 10/05/2016 2:48:38 AM PDT by CharlesOConnell

Does anyone know who decided "disarm & confiscate"? 100 years ago, a gun was like a toolbox, a flashlight, road flares or a hatchet. "Father Brown" mystery writer Chesterton carried one casually, Sherlock Holmes supported police safety with one. We know how deliberately society is disassembled; some smart college boy servant of the ultra rich decides "let's get the poor to ..." [insert any destructive trend here]. We now know when & by whom many of these diabolical policies were decided. "We'll protect the public from criminals & anarchists after we disarm them". REALLY? Soros PAYS FOR B.L.M. Does anyone know?

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character.

Holmes was fictional but in Victorian Britain many “Gentlemen” walked around armed

Yup. And now we have the government reading all of our communications, scanning license plates in the gunshow parking lots and watching us from a million cameras.

A people loses its freedom the second we allow government to "protect" us from ourselves.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character.

But he reflected the cultural attitudes at the time.

Abbot and Costello had a TV show in the 1950's, set in LA, which I would watch as a child. In one episode, they were going to investigate a haunted house or some such, and Abbot casually mentions he brought a gun with him. It was accepted that people then and there had guns for self protection.

Post reconstrction, the Dems in the South passed State and local laws/ordinances prohibiting Blacks from owning or carrying guns.

On a local level, many small towns with low taxes and under-manned law enforcement saw a choice:

1) Prohibit carrying guns inside the town as guys would drink at the bar and then do stupid things as people who drink always do.
. . . . .or
2) Prohibit alcohol...go dry. Both objectively (and subjectively through religion which was based on the objective) it was very evident that alcohol was the worst social ill of society.

It continues today that alcohol (and now other brain altering chemicals) is the single highest correlation with gun tragedies as it is with car crashes, snowmobile, skiing, boating, swimming, hunting & fishing and falling in one’s own home and with domestic violence and getting fired from a job and not showing up for work, and getting injured on the job.

Since at least the early 1930 the well funded impetus for disarming the American populace has been driven by a cabal that includes (but is certainly not limited to):

The Ford Foundation
The Carnegie Corporation
The Rockefeller Foundation
The CFR (which is sort of a “Foundation Offspring”)
And as mentioned above, many others.

Currently these groups are funneling their money and support through avenues such as the Soros backed Tides Foundation.

From a philosophical point of view, the origin of the modern movement can be found as early as 1908 in the writings of Dewey and Tufts in their 1908 collection of essays titled “Ethics” in the section “Responsibility and Freedom” &“Rights and Obligations”

In short, Dewey and Tufts undertook to redefine the concepts that were the underpinning of all our founding documents. And that included the right to autonomous self-defense and the notion that political legitimacy derives from the “bottom up.”

These progenitors of modern Liberalism were nothing if not Elitists.

“The Tides” is a place. Check it out. It will remove any doubt one might ever have entertained about “elitism”. The funny thing about conspiracy is in reality there is just TOO LITTLE tinfoil.

There has always been a strong, puritanical streak in American politics. The “decision” to demonize guns happened with the founding of “progressivism”.

It was stated that with the ending of the frontier about 1900, that the Constitution was outdated and no longer relevant. Guns were not needed for defense against raiding Indians or outlaws, and hunting was almost over.

The elites were rejecting God as a concept for superstitious minds.

Without Christian beliefs as a common glue for sociey, the willingness to do anything for more power started to knaw away at the foundations of the republic.

Progressive judges created the idea that the Second Amendment did not apply to individuals in the Kansas Supreme Court in 1908. Southern states had enacted gun bans in the South to keep former slaves disarmed. New York passed the Sullivan Act to protect organized crime. Big Tim Sullivan was a crime boss.

We are in the process of rolling back all those infringements now.

There is much work to be done. We will have to fight libtards for every inch to roll back 100 years of damage they have done.

Do check it out, though. “The Tides”. I don’t know how much of a web presence they have. Probably very little. I do believe it is the most “exclusive” place I have ever seen.

What is “The Tides?”

For some reason I have it in memory the reason it was named Tides is because the initial meeting of the cabal that started it was that was where they met. A very exclusive playground for “the elite” in an area where there are many wealthy family retreats. Not surprisingly, the funds largely came initially from an RJR Tobacco heiress libtard.

I looked at purchasing a used fishing boat that was stored there years ago. You had to have a very good reason to get in the gate and it was verified by a call and I was “escorted” every step.

You are correct. I have been fighting for 40 years.

I think my first letter to the editor was published in ‘76.

Our advantage is that the facts, the Constitution, and human nature are on our side.

I think they actually decided “You shall be deprived of the ability to resist the whims of the evil foundation.” :)

Exactly. Anyone who thinks these libtards are going to go away just because of a President Trump is delusional. Getting him in office is just the first step of many. Undoing regs and EOs just the next. Imprisoning criminal libtards the next. Corzine, Clinton, etc. Destroying the funding source is the next.

What we need is the equivalent of putting the entire country in a tent like a house for fumigation and then using a variety of toxins to absolutely destroy every pest until there are none. Huge undertaking but absolutely necessary. Or should I say,”Yuge”.

If I remember my history, after WWI, Britain, fearing the growth of communism, decided to clamp down on PRIVATE gun ownership.
So they faked a high gun crime claim and did so.

Twenty years later it came back to bite them as they were begging Americans to “SEND A GUN TO DEFEND A BRITISH HOME!”

The tradition hasn’t changed in my family.
