On this thread, someone expressed outrage at the idea that a terrorist incident could be staged to encourage gun control legislation. -That this was a "smear" on "bleeding hearts". Its not as simple as that Recently, Walter Williams has popularized a wonderful term used by the Communist Party - "USEFUL IDIOTS". A USEFUL IDIOT was a person who believed the propaganda of the inner circle &, so believing, worked for the Party without knowing the hidden agenda. It seems that in America, when the state does a power grab, we find at least two groups involved in pushing for the state - a ruling elite & the useful idiots. The useful idiots are a well developed group for the state gun control plan. The state is now working to develop useful idiots with regard to encryption. Useful idiots would probably not sanction terrorist incidents to further their political views & could certainly not be trusted to be involved in any such incident. I don't believe that the ruling elite would have any qualms against such an incident - only practical re- servations. Yours Truly, Gary Jeffers PUSH EM BACK! PUSH EM BACK! WWWAAAYYY BBBAAACCCKKK! BBBEEEAAATTTT STATE !
