Day Before Pittsburgh Shooting Pro-2A Jewish Org Tweeted About Having Armed Guards at Synagogues

Just one day before the deadly synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the pro-Second Amendment Jewish organization, Jews for Preservation of Firearms Ownership, tweeted a video from the United States Concealed Carry Association about how to survive a church shooting.

"The one place where we feel safe, where it's calm and serene is one place where we're truly in danger: house of worship," Concealed Carry Magazine editor Kevin Michalowski said in the video. "People attack houses of worship with great regularity. And most often, no one knows what to do. No one is prepared."

Michalowski asks the important question: what would you do in case of an emergency in your church or synagogue?

"Think about this for a minute. Most people coming to church are not armed. There's no way to fight back against a violent assault in a church. Does your church or house of worship have a security team?" Michalowski asked.

According to the video, if a person were to come into a church and begin shooting, it's important for everyone to drop to the ground. This lets everyone know who the shooter is and makes it easier to take him or her down with a shot.

JPFO has been a long-time supporter of arming churches. Back in 2001, they addressed the issue of church goers carrying firearms to services, the Daily Callerreported. In fact, back in 2013, a rabbi in Queens began teaching martial arts to church goes as well as using a firearm for self-protection.

Is He Crazy?

Mexico's New President Announces Absolutely Insane Plan Before Taking Office

ByRYAN SAAVEDRA

July 5, 2018

Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced this week that he plans to travel without armed guards and claims that the people will protect him, even as the country has been rocked by scores of political assassinations over the past several months.

President Enrique Pena Nieto reportedly offered Lopez Obrador federal protection until he takes office, but he declined, saying, "The people will protect me. ... He who fights for justice has nothing to fear."

Lopez Obrador, who is commonly referred to as "AMLO," also told a large crowd of supporters: "You’ll all be watching out for me."

Reuters reports that the president-elect's approach to security "is one of the first signs of how he is breaking from the mold of the typical Mexican presidency."

The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) ranked Mexico as the second deadliest country in the world in 2016 as Mexico's drug wars claimed approximately 23,000 lives that year.

The number of murders in Mexico skyrocketed in 2017 to over 29,000. Reuters notes that the nation is on track to have an even bloodier year in 2018.

Etellekt, a risk analysis firm, reported this week that 132 politicians were killed in the nine months leading up to last weekend's presidential election.

"These numbers anticipates a serious challenge of security for peace and democratic governance in these regions, and could debilitate the political party," Etellekt said.

Homeland Security Now Contracting Armed Guards In Upstate New York--How Many Other Contracts Are Out There That We Have Not Heard About? What Are They Afraid Of?

DHS Looking To Spend $80 Million For Armed Guards

October 23, 2013 by Bob Livingston

As the elected class ignores the will of the people and pushes the Nation toward default, the Department of Homeland Security continues to exhibit signs it is preparing for a chaotic event or is training to make war on the American people.

We have previously documented the department’s mass purchases of weapons, ammunition, armor and training targets depicting average citizens (including children and pregnant women). Other sites have documented the department’s training operations like Operation Shield, in which the DHS Federal Protective Service unit posted armed guards outside a Florida Social Security office and required passersby to produce identification. FPS also posted armed guards outside a St. Louis Internal Revenue Service building during a Tea Party protest regarding the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups.

Now, DHS is advertising bids to contract with security firms to guard a variety of government buildings in upstate New York during public demonstrations and civil disturbances. The contract is expected to be for $75 million to $80 million.

The solicitation reads:

This acquisition is for approximately 380,000 hours of Basic Service, 20,000 hours of Temporary Additional Services and 3,500 hours of Emergency Security Services per year. Currently, there are an estimated 205 guards protecting approximately 95 posts at over 55 buildings. The estimated value of this Contract is between $75M and $80M.

The contracted guards, called protective service officers (PSOs), would be required to “be armed and some posts may require screening of visitors using X-rays/magnetometers.” The contractors would be deployed “to large and small-scale events such as natural disasters, civil disturbances, or other unanticipated events on an as-needed basis. The requirements under ‘ESS’ Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) may be ordered for anywhere in the geographic area covered under this Contract with little, if any advance notice.”

With the recent institution of exchange controls by major banks and the announcement of cuts to the food stamp program (and evidence of how food stamp recipients will respond, thanks to recent events), it’s obvious the elites realize that things could get dicey for them soon.
