School shootings
http://www.truthin7minutes.com/school-shootings/?PC=AR-thanks
This post takes a hard, critical look at the latest rash of shootings at our schools...
From the article:
As a father of two amazing young boys who go to school each day, these shootings are top of mind... constant talking points over the dinner table.
Questions such as, "Should I worry about my children every moment of the day" to "Am I going to get that horrific call" to even "Should I never send my children to school again" are thoughts anyone with school-aged children probably share with me and my wife.
While history never interested me, 9/11 changed everything for me.
Since 2001, I've been obsessed with looking at history with an open mind. And every time I look into things in the past, I stumble upon major holes in the official stories we're told by our government (and more specifically,their media outlets).
We've been through 18 different notable school shootings since 9/11. And each one becomes harder to believe.
I also noticed these shootings have similar oddities... impossibilities - some "facts" even bordering on the ridiculous.



I've been keeping track of these similarities and "coincidences"... and the latest Sandy Hook school shooting is repeating history's oddities:
Senseless motive
According to official accounts:
On December 14, 2012, Adam Peter Lanza, aged 20, fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members and wounded two at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the Sandy Hook village of Newtown, Connecticut.
Before driving to the school, he had shot and killed his mother (Nancy Lanza) at their Newtown home.
After killing the students and staff members, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head as first responders arrived.
Now, I've actually spoken to a few people who have admitted shooting and killing people they hated (don't ask). And while they seemed tough on the outside, they admitted that pulling the trigger was REALLY tough. It wasn't as easy as the talking heads on TV make it out to be.
The idea that hard-core, psychopathic serial killers have an easy time pulling the trigger and killing a person makes for a great CSI story on TV.
But in real life, it's different.
Government officials and the media tell us this "lonely" and "isolated" 20-year old adult had the gumption to mow down 26 people in less time than it takes to scramble eggs?
Sure. I could see someone killing their mom. A lot of people aren't thrilled with their parents. I get that.
And sure... getting bullied in school could certainly set a person off. And maybe... just maybe it might get someone angry enough to pull the trigger on that bully. I get that, too.
But come on - shooting 26 people dead in just 3 minutes?
Really? I don't think so. I'm not buying that (and a lot of people I talk to aren't buying it, either).

Shooter almost always commits suicide
This too fails to pass the gut check.
We're told school shooters typically arrive on the scene in full riot gear. And in this case, Lanza is no different... armed with a rifle, shotgun and two handguns.
He also donned a bulletproof vest - wanting to protect himself from getting shot.
Yet in this interview, Newtown Police Chief Michael Kehoe and Captain Joe Rios claimed their presence triggered Lanza to take his own life.
Why would someone wear a bullet-proof vest and commit suicide? Also, how in the world could two cops get the emergency call, arrive on the scene, and search the entire school and find the shooter in just 3 minutes?
I'm not buying this.

15 minutes hours of fame
Everyone knows that real people would be an absolute mess after the senseless loss of a child.
My uncle went into seclusion for several DECADES after his 11-year old son committed suicide.
If my child was gunned down, the LAST place you'd see me would be in front of a camera and reporter. And I'm pretty sure most feel the same way.
Yet, when it comes to these school shootings, there's an endless parade of smiling and gleeful participants ready to be interviewed.
This is HIGHLY suspicious... as if they're actors ready on cue to perform.
Look at all of the smiling faces being shown to us for this "horrific" and "incredibly sad story" (these are all pictures and shapshots provided to us by the media):

Europe announces disaster communication plans for nuclear emergency

November 30, 2013 – BRUSSELS – A project backed by 43 organizations is preparing Europe to react and communicate effectively in case of a nuclear emergency, drawing on the lessons of the Fukushima accident. The project, known as PREPARE, brings together national nuclear emergency centers, universities and safety authorities from 20 European countries, including Germany, Italy, Belgium, Norway and Ukraine and has €4 million ($5.4 million) in funding from the EU Framework Program for Research (FP7). Project work – expected to be finalized in early 2016 – will focus on what to do in case of long-lasting radiation releases, as seen during the Fukushima accident. Researchers will develop a system to collect and exchange information quickly and reliably during a rapidly-evolving emergency situation, and develop procedures and policies for dealing with potentially contaminated goods. Employees of nuclear emergency centers, safety authorities, agriculture ministries will be trained to use the tools and methods resulting from PREPARE. 
Before Fukushima, emergency plans were designed in general for releases of a few days, but at Fukushima we saw releases for up to one month and then also smaller releases,” said Johan Camps, head of the Crisis Management and Decision unit at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre told World Nuclear News. One PREPARE tool will be used to evaluate an accident in its entirety, according to the project coordinator Wolfgang Raskob, of the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology in Germany. “We are planning to set up a database with historic events and calculation scenarios and then compare the incoming information with the information in the database.” Actions on food and other consumer goods coming from an area affected by a nuclear emergency have previously been inconsistent across Europe. Taking the example of Fukushima, Raskob noted that each European country had different rules and limits. One of the aims of the project is to recommend a procedure to set contamination limits to be used at European level when dealing with goods coming from the affected area, he explained. Improvements to the monitoring of terrestrial and aquatic systems following a nuclear accident are also envisaged, as are better plans for informing the public during an emergency. –World Nuclear News

Where’s the money? Nearly 4 years after quake, Haitians still in tents

November 26, 2013PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Eight-year-old Widlene Gabriel has lived nearly half her life in a camp for the hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the devastating January 2010 earthquake in desperately poor Haiti. As the fourth anniversary of the disaster approaches, more than 170,000 Haitians are still living in makeshift housing, in extremely precarious conditions and sometimes facing eviction. Widlene and her family live in a tent on a private lot along a main road linking the capital Port-au-Prince to the eastern suburb of Petionville. The girl has never been to school and spends her days staring blankly at cars and trucks speeding along the road nearby. “On January 12, 2010, the roof of our house fell on top of our heads. I wasn’t hurt but our house fell apart and so we came here,” Widlene recalls, her bare feet covered in dust. Manette Nazius, a mother of six, says Widlene is hardly the only child seemingly left behind. “All the kids here are in the same boat. All days are the same. They drag around all day. In fact, we are living without hope and we all feel abandoned,” she says. An estimated 250,000 people were killed in the quake, and the rebuilding process has been slow in Haiti, which was already one of the world’s poorest countries when disaster struck. 
In the immediate aftermath, more than 1.5 million people were homeless. Huddled under Tent 15, which doubles as a church at the entrance of the camp, a small group of women chanted “Blessed be the lord. Blessed be the lord.” The pastor, in his 60s, stood at the entrance, but the faithful were few. “We still support them in prayer,” said the 60-something pastor, who gave his name as Pierre. “They are people who have been abandoned by the authorities. They have nothing. But God does not punish twice.” Nevertheless, the young and homeless say they are without hope and feel they have been forgotten. Since 2011, the government has been able to relocate more than 60,000 families and take back some of the public spaces occupied by the unsanitary camps. But about 172,000 people still live sprawled across 300 camps, according to the International Organization for Migration. Residents of the camp where Widlene lives say they have no alternatives, surviving thanks to odd jobs and whatever food scraps they can gather. 
“We live like brothers and sisters. We help each other out but we don’t expect anything from the government,” said Bladimir Eliancy, a 30-something resident who was trained as a mechanic. At another camp – a group of tents were set up on a property once owned by the Italian mission – the feeling of despair is the same. “We have been forgotten by the authorities and international organizations no longer visit us,” said a dejected Donald Duvert. “Sometimes, we get angry. But we are good citizens. We don’t go out into the streets to attack the rich. But just take a look at how we live,” he added, pointing to the dilapidated tents that house 150 families. Joseph Gino, seeking a bit of shade under a mango tree, echoed Duvert’s hopelessness. “Before, life was very difficult for us. Today, there is no life. Only God knows when we’ll get out of here – or maybe the decision-makers do,” he said. –Rappler
