    Default Mass Shooting in Parkland, Florida, High School: 14 Feb 2018

    All of the mass school shootings have been beyond ridiculous and sad for some time now. I am not posting links because there are a million to pick from and all have varying degrees of information. It's too early for real numbers. My reason for starting this thread is to try to gain insight on the "why".

    What is the end goal of these mass shootings? I think we can rule gun control out because I just don't think that will ever happen. It will cause a revolution and TPTB don't want that. I am of the opinion that these are largely planned, false flag events but what is the end game here?

    My thoughts and prayers are with the families of these innocent, murdered children. It's Valentine's Day and it's Ash Wednesday. So tell someone you love them. We are all we have.

    @Kano

    I don't think it's a coincidence that this occured on ash wendsday; just like the senseless fire-bombing of the defenseless city of Dresden on ash wendsday in 1945-

    there are occult forces at work out there-

    You are so right. There are usually "drills" that precede these type of events. Good to recognize these in advance and get your kid out of school if this happens in your area.

    What is the purpose of rituals and sacrifices of blood?

    There lies the answer to your question.

    The other explanation, if true, might be more disturbing to us...

    To know that we live in a chaotic world where evil acts are committed randomly.

    Just a few hours before the eclipse. These events are always planned on the right time to create the max possible impact on the collective consciousness and trigger more fear and pain. Try to stay out of it energetically.

    evil acts do not happen randomly- nothing happens randomly

    evil acts are cold-bloodedly calculated to occur at certain times-

    people must finally realize this-

    You know I used to be on the fence about the whole crisis actors angle. But now that I took some time to dig in, there is zero doubt they are a real thing. It is easily provable beyond the shadow of a doubt.

    ¤=[Post Update]=¤

    Not sure if it's relevant but something I noticed while watching the Clinton News Network's coverage of the shooting was that the cop/sheriff speaking to reporters had the last name of Israel. Hmmmm...

    This seems genuine the shooter is in custody which is unusual in these large
    shootings and is a local resident , with a history at the school. The witness's
    in the two fox vids below seem in genuine shock. The WP vid below seems to
    be a montage of the event including what looks like a bit of phone footage
    while the attack was in progress. This could be faked but it does not feel like
    it but who knows ? Only the victims families and witness's ,thats where it gets
    sensitive and we have to be cautious before calling it a staged event...

    But keep your eyes open and see what the alt media comes up with ....

    I forgot it was Valentine's day Its all so cold and convenient and sick....

    I work in a public school.

    There are many, many angry young people with access to weapons. Lots of teenage boys have spent thousands of hours playing violent shooting games. They are being programmed into violence. Social media is often a place where violent acts are recorded, shared and celebrated. As teachers, we see an ongoing escalation of students who should be classified as mentally ill, but often remain undiagnosed.

    Don't automatically assume it is a planned event. I guarantee there are students capable and desensitized enough to do this on their own. There will be an escalation of violence in our public schools as the next generation of young people reach puberty. We have ongoing weapons checks for students as young as fourth grade.

    One angle is using technology as the "solution". Since we're just too unruly we'd use technology to prevent shootings. Augment the human with tech that could prevent any such occurrence.
    Look on Netflix at many of the new Sci fi shows. Augmenting humans with tech. Just "altering carbon" is all it is now though right?

    Would you know if there are other schools which do weapons checks? I have seen metal detectors and cops manning those in Colorado, and NY state schools before. I hadn't known of other locations doing that.. I'm assuming this shooter in Florida bypassed the front door by getting a fire alarm to be set, to open the doors so out could come in.. Sorta reminding me of the police state setup in Israel, how everything now is gonna be metal detector and manned.. (or those full body scanners at the airport) - or if you are not properly chipped and updated with an implant under your skin on the back of the hand, you don't get in past the door.. (or out)..

    All MSM's have been playing this over and over, continually, nothing new same program, over and over, the incident today. What are we not hearing about now? What is being overlooked?

    I taught at a few middle schools in Florida, and at a high school in Oregon more recently.

    At the high school, drills were commonplace. The school property fenced in. Gates closed except one except for before and after school and at lunch time.

    A full-time police officer worked at the school.

    Once in a faculty meeting a teacher asked,"How will we know the difference between a drill and an actual shooting?"
    The reply: "You won't. Just do what we say."

    The military presence also grew. First, one was present all day one day per week. Then 2 days per week. Recruitment was heavy with mind conditioning and freebies with the military branding of camouflage.

    I won't even go into the on campus prescriptions here in order to stay on topic. Although, psychotropic drugs dispensed at school could lead to this type of "troubled" behavior.

    Many factors...our whole school system is troubled.

    Teachers 'were warned' about Nikolas Cruz

    Teachers were warned in advance about the teenager who allegedly carried out a mass shooting at his former school in Florida, US media are reporting.

    Nikolas Cruz has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder following the deadliest shooting at a US school since 2012.

    Maths teacher Jim Gard told the Miami Herald that school authorities had emailed teachers about Mr Cruz's behaviour.

    "We were told last year that he wasn't allowed on campus with a backpack on him," Mr Gard told the Miami Herald.

    "There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus."

    Former schoolmate Joshua Charo said Mr Cruz had been found with bullets in his backpack.

    "I can't say I was shocked," Mr Charo said.

    Mr Cruz had been staying with a local family in recent months, following his adopted mother's death in November.

    He allegedly used an AR-15 rifle in the attack, which he had bought legally and which he kept locked up in their house at their request.

    I must ask: how in the blue hell can a teenager 'legally' buy an AR-15 attack rifle? Sorry, and I'm not trying to trash the 2nd Amendment, but to me this just smacks of absolute insanity.

    its amazing people at this forum would post mainstream media bs after another governmental false flag.

    Literally everything the mainstream media posts is lies or has an evil agenda. Why further the issue at a place where people come to get away from that?

    Lots of teenage boys have spent thousands of hours playing violent shooting games. They are being programmed into violence.
    I'd like to point out that this is a common misconception, scientific studies have shown that shooting games are not related to violent behaviour. Although if a person is already disturbed, their view on reality has already been altered and they might not see the difference between entertainment and the real world. I would be more worried about young people being on antidepressants, which seem to enhance their suicidal and homicidal tendencies - in some cases. If they own guns too then that is a recipe for a disaster.

    I could ask the same thing and I am actually not anti-gun at all. Why on Earth would a teenager need to own such a powerful rifle? In Europe such a thing would be unheard of. The American gun culture sometimes seems absurd to us.
