It’s been years since I met anyone that still believes in the official government story of the lone gunman. For obvious reasons of course, since you would have to be completely obtuse to hold onto such simplistic perceptions of the world - not to mention to having no understanding of physics at all.
For those that continue to encounter such people, the only advice I have is to sit down with your loved ones, or those that you would like to educate, and have them read or watch a little Bill Hicks.

Only love truly heals because only love lies deepest within us. The basic underlying and uniting force of the universe is a psychic energy field of love and soul consciousness (Unified Field ) which lies not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears ~ and whose principle property is the urge to unite.
The only right love is that between couples whose passion leads them both, one through the other, to a higher possession of their being: Teilhard de Chardin
For almost 40 years I have been demonstrating that there is no true healing without love and that the very act of surrendering to love is the ultimate key to inner transformation.

Obamacare scams consumers. It's a ripoff. It's a corporate designed scheme. It's smoke and mirrors deception. It's rife with disturbing inequities. It makes a dysfunctional system worse.
It enriches insurers, drug companies and large hospital chains. It's fast food healthcare. It rations it.
It leaves millions uninsured. Millions more are way underinsured. It's outrageously expensive. It's double the cost of other developed countries. It makes healthcare more than ever unaffordable.
Millions of households have to pay 40% or more out-of-pocket. It's for co-pays and deductibles. It's on top of costly premiums. It gets worse.
New York Times editors are some of Obamacare's biggest boosters. They noticed a glaring problem. On February 4, The Times headlined "Health Care Law Projected to Cut the Labor Force."
In light of ongoing global negotiations on pressing environmental issues, it’s time for efforts to curtail the excessive influence of multinational corporations over public policy to be strengthened and scaled up at all levels – especially at the United Nations.
The corporate capture of policymaking has dire implications for how we achieve sustainable development in the 21st century, and it must be strongly opposed in the coming years as deliberations on climate change and sustainable development reach important conclusions. Private sector influence over politics at the national level is already widely recognised, but the extent to which powerful industries are able to influence global negotiations on some of the world’s most pressing problems is far less reported by the media or discussed in the public sphere.

In March 2011, Obama launched proxy war on Syria. Regime change remains policy.
Peace talks are subterfuge. They're fake. Geneva II reflects more sideshow than substance.
Washington abhors peaceful conflict resolution. Human suffering doesn't matter. Conflict continues unabated. January perhaps was the deadliest month so far. An estimated 6,000 or more died.
So-called "humanitarian war" was planned years ago. Full-scale implementation could come any time.
On the sidelines of the just concluded Munich Security Conference, John Kerry met privately with 15 congressional members.
He acknowledged diplomatic failure. He stopped short of saying Washington planned it that way.

Israel mocks democratic values. It has no borders. It's to steal Palestinian land.
It has no constitution. Basic laws substitute. They fall woefully short. Ones in place are ignored.
Universally recognized rights are compromised. They include life, liberty and security. They assure privacy. They prohibit cruel and unusual punishments.
They assure everyone equal protection under the law. No distinction can be made based on race, nationality, ethnicity, gender or religious preference.
They guarantee free expression, free assembly, free movement, and free thought. They assure adequate food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education and other vital services.
They guarantee government of, by and for everyone equitably and fairly.
Israel is no democracy. It never was. For sure it's not now. It wants critics silenced. Legislation, policies and judicial rulings violate free speech, a free press, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion.

A previous article discussed WW I's 100th anniversary. On July 29, 1914, it began. It was called the war to end all wars.
WW II followed. German involvement was central in both wars. In 1945, Hitler's Wehrmacht was disbanded.
It ravaged and destroyed much of Europe. It killed millions of people. Most Germans wanted never again. They renounced militarism.
A new Bundeswehr was established. It was constitutionally restricted to defense. Conscripts were called "citizens in uniform."

Here we go again. A new London Sunday Times report claims Assad is hoarding WMDs. More on it below.
We've seen it all before. It surfaced earlier against Syria. Obama repeatedly warned Assad against using chemical weapons.
He never did. He never would. Doing so would be suicide. His Foreign Ministry spokesman Johad Makdissi repeated earlier what various Syrian officials stressed, saying:
"No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used...no matter what" happens inside Syria.

It has become obvious that what's going on in Ukraine is an extension of the cold war as the U.S. and the EU try and peddle a modified version of the Armenia-ultimatum to their people. Sound complicated? It's not really. What's going on in Ukraine is an economic proxy war that has turned sour.
The trade deal that the EU has offered the Ukraine is garbage. To find out how bad it is all we have to do is look at why Armenia ended up telling the EU to shove it when they tried to jam the same deal down their throats.
In September 2013, Armenia called off an Armenia-EU Association Agreement after they found out that the trade deal was not really about easing trade restrictions with the EU but about screwing over Russia, and themselves by extension:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D. NV) opposes fast track legislation. He broke with Obama on trade policy.
"I'm against fast track," he said. "I think everyone would be well-advised not to push this right now."
Senator John Cornyn (R. TX) said:
"You can kiss any new trade deals goodbye. I think the majority leader's focus is on the November elections, and he doesn't want to expose his vulnerable members to controversial votes."
AFL-CIO trade policy specialist Celeste Drake called Reid's comments "a great opportunity to get off the fast track to bad trade deals and open the policy window to a better deal for workers."
