I am taking a little break from the Surfing In Blood series… I think one or two more post simply won’t do it, specially when relating to the monies. Lots of cash flowing in 2012 one private entity to a public one and vice versa.
But since I am not an accountant, I have to decrypt this enchilada.
However, I want to leave you with this clear example on how much grassroot support they really have. Look at the number of alleged active supporters and the number of people who actually gave money.
Only 0.24% of the 800K+ “supporters” care enough to send money. Then again it is easy to support something that does not cost you..either monetarily or any other way.

Just for joining their email list! But I know that you will be willing to spend the amount of one miserable box of ammo and join Florida Carry and keep supporting them.
You have to love knee-jerk reactions coming out of the Opposition:
The article they mention is from our favorite Anti-Gun Gome Pyle, Lt. Col. Robert Bateman. As usual he does not make a whole lot of sense and raves up and down so I will save you the effort and say he does not like the law, the NRA, you, me and probably Moon Pies either.
At the Florida Legislature, both houses have versions of the Defensive Display of a Firearm on their desks. It simply states that you can display your gun without having to shoot the criminal to stop a forcible felony instead of being sent to prison for it. This law is basically intended to curb idiotic and anti-gun prosecutors from filing charges on obvious cases where a bit of common sense indicates that having nobody bleeding is a much better choice than having to call the morgue truck. But it seems this obvious detail is hard to process for a Gun Control Advocate.
And as usual, the comment pouring out of the Brady followers are enlightening on their own. Apparently the idea that a warning shot must be done vertically and up is firmly planted in their heads…. must be prime time TV and all those action movies they swear they never watch:
Carolyn Purdue and install a bullet-proof roof on your house. What goes up must come down…somewhere.
Kenneth Keith They are pushing for revolution because a black man is in “their” White House!
Meg Rose-Petersen Dumb f’n Florida! I hate this state!! Do they not get that what bullet goes up, must come down? I can’t wait to see how many cars, homes, bldgs, etc have bullets stuck in them. POS, DB, NRA and it’s penisless bought off legislators and extremists.
John Lemieux Why? In Florida you can just shoot someone dead and say they were attacking you, why bother with warning shots?
Q Tracy Rogers Now that is another example of “responsible” gun owners huh? No concern that, the bullet has to land somewhere? A small part of hope for the future should be noted- when the bullet lands, if it hurts anyone or property another gun owner becomes a felon and not allowed to own anymore. (and I say without joy, they usually hit themselves or a family member).
Dear Oscillating Mother Of Petunia…. what a bunch of idiots.
On this post, I am not going to be structured much. Reading 500+ pages of crap I do not like in a day makes for an interesting headache. I’ll post captures of the documents that reveal ideas, tendencies or thoughts not covered before. Originally I was going to end the analysis of this emails today, but rereading I found some other stuff that might require attention and hopefully some help from the readers, specially the monetary part. So expect at least one or two more posts.
Let’s begin:
Note the date and time. The bodies of the victims were still on the floor at Sandy Hook Elementary as the Crime Scene technicians were collecting evidence. Yet this “persons” were already thinking strategy.
The Robin mentioned apparently is Robin Kelly who was the Democratic Party candidate and eventual replacement of Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District Election previously held by one Jesse Jackson, Jr. who had to vacate the post after pleading guilty to charges of fraud, conspiracy, making false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud, and criminal forfeiture. Cash was injected from Bloomberg’s coffers to her campaign. Bloomberg & NYC employees meddling in the elections of other states in a strategy that was to be repeated in Colorado.
And we have some examples that seem to infer at a minimum a concerted coordination with a complicit media:
Erica Goode writes about human behavior for the New York Times.
I know I am missing one about the Media…I’ll post when I re-find it
An idea to try to influence major Sport Leagues:
And MAIG really does not like the Brady Campaign. Are they wishing the Bradys leave the Gun Control business for good? Who knows?
Remember that Credit Cards and other companies were all of the sudden reluctant to deal with firearms? May it have started here? The Raben Group is a powerful DC Lobby group aligned with very powerful entities such as the Joyce Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Los Angeles Unified School District (Which wanted to divest firearms investments from their retirement fund) and a whole slew of other well-known characters including….wait for it… MAIG.
That being said, MAIG looks less professional that initially thought. Don’t be fooled, they are a fantastic team when it relates to shaping, directing & controlling media to push their message. New York is the advertising capital of the world and they have access to some of the biggest names (mentioned through the emails) in advertising and they are not shy at exploitation of survivors or their relatives. It also helps that many of these firms are staffed or owned by former Democrat operatives so they start with a pre-existing meeting of the minds.
They are also flush with cash. They don’t have any problems asking for donations (we be poor help us!) but their six month budget was $10,976,700 or almost $2 million a month! (page 524.) Imagine what kind of influence can we exercise if we had that amount of cash flowing to buy ads in magazines, newspapers and TV spots.

What they lack (among several other things) is a firm background on the legal and legislative issues that can help them. Of course those are fields that they don’t have any standing as it favors our side so they must go for the emotional argument, not the logical one. And nobody can stir those emotions better than Celebrities.
This is the list of celebrities MAIG was tapping with their ability and convictions to help:

But apparently, they were not the only ones and there are so many celebrities in the pool. The Brady Campaign was also tapping into the Entertainment Fountain and polite WTFs followed.
and..
It is sadly funny to see them bickering like children fighting for the last candy bar of Halloween. The need to be the top Gun Control voice is strong… but soon enough the biggest voice of all came calling and they had to take a seat in the back of the bus:
It caught them by surprise. I am sure Bloomberg and staff were not happy to be mixed with other less-important majors and to be told they are not the toughest kid in the playground.
The importance of knowing the subject matter you are addressing cannot be overstated. If you are gonna fight to keep Schools safe from Bad Things Happening by Keeping Guns Away from School, you should not post an article where the response is Good Guys With Guns.
Kinda contradicts your statement and makes you look stupider than usual.
