Obama Administration’s kabuki over Israeli Palestinian peace efforts continues as historic Shepherd Hotel in Palestinian neighborhood is demolished.

What we know is that Jared Loughner, who was rejected from the military and kicked out of a community college, and who had various minor run-ins with the law, was able to purchase a semi-automatic 9MM Glock with an extended magazine.

Politics in a democracy is about changing minds, and to change minds you need to get your message to the people you hope to persuade. Reformist groups throughout history have often run into opposition from the established mainstream media, which tends to be supportive of the current status quo structure. Being able to speak directly to supporters and the population as a whole has been critical to independent political movements. This is something the leadership of the Nonpartisan League strongly understood and why one of their first acts was to create their own paper.

Many current books on this crash describe in detail the manufactured financial instruments that contributed to the collapse of the high-interest bond market, the real estate market, and the stock market. Eric Janszen asks us to look deeper because our situation is still dire. Worthless assets bought by the U.S. for over a trillion dollars are worth a tiny fraction of that. European states continue to throw good dollars after bad rescuing banks, but we are still on a precipice. What to do?

I don’t mean to imply that Loughner was not responsible for his actions. Just the opposite, in fact. There is a logic to what people are referring to as his “ramblings,” and he does comprehend what has happened to him at school. He’s capable of reasoning and understanding consequences. In short, there is adequate reason to believe Sherrif Dupnik is correct in his assessment that Loughner is “unstable,” but not “insane.”

We still don’t know all the facts about Jared Loughner, the suspect held in the Arizona shooting rampage, and we may not for some time.

But right-wing bloggers knew immediately — right away! — that this anti-government goldbug who has been connected to an anti-immigration hate group, has an odd fixation on the Constitution and federalism and an enthusiasm for guns — was in no way a right-winger, and in fact, a total liberal.

The era of liberalism as a philosophy of government is over. The Democratic Party endorses this message.

Dupnik: “I think that when the rhetoric about hatred, about mistrust of government, about paranoia of how government operates, and to try to inflame the public on a daily basis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week has an impact especially on people who are unbalanced personalities to begin with.”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office have released a photo of the second suspect in the Saturday shooting that killed six people and left Rep. Gabriel Giffords and 12 others injured.
