Despite an excellent track record, President Obama quietly ends federal firearms program that armed pilots who completed the training program. Source: Washington Times After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings. Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology. The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots. This looks like completely unnecessary harassment of the pilots. The 12,000 Federal Flight Deck Officers, the pilots who have been approved to carry guns, are reported to have the best behavior of any federal law enforcement agency. There are no cases where any of them has improperly brandished or used a gun. There are just a few cases where officers have improperly used their IDs. Fewer than one percent of the officers have any administrative actions brought against them and, we are told, virtually all of those cases “are trumped up.” Take a case against one flight officer who had visited the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles within the last few weeks. While there, the pilot noticed that federal law enforcement officers can, with the approval of a superior, obtain a license plate that cannot be traced, a key safety feature for law enforcement personnel. So the pilot asked if, as a member of the federal program, he was eligible. The DMV staffer checked and said “no.” The next day administrative actions were brought against the pilot for “misrepresenting himself.” These are the kinds of cases that President Obama wants to investigate. Since Mr. Obama’s election, pilots have told us that the approval process for letting pilots carry guns on planes slowed significantly. Last week the problem went from bad to worse. Federal Flight Deck Officers – the pilots who have been approved to carry guns – indicate that the approval process has stalled out. Pilots cannot openly speak about the changing policies for fear of retaliation from the Transportation Security Administration. Pilots who act in any way that causes a “loss of confidence” in the armed pilot program risk criminal prosecution as well as their removal from the program. Despite these threats, pilots in the Federal Flight Deck Officers program have raised real concerns in multiple interviews. Arming pilots after Sept. 11 was nothing new. Until the early 1960s, American commercial passenger pilots on any flight carrying U.S. mail were required to carry handguns. Indeed, U.S. pilots were still allowed to carry guns until as recently as 1987. There are no records that any of these pilots (either military or commercial) ever causing any significant problems. Screening of airplane passengers is hardly perfect. While armed marshals are helpful, the program covers less than 3 percent of the flights out of Washington D.C.’s three airports and even fewer across the country. Sky marshals are costly and quit more often than other law-enforcement officers. Armed pilots are a cost-effective backup layer of security. Terrorists can only enter the cockpit through one narrow entrance, and armed pilots have some time to prepare themselves as hijackers penetrate the strengthened cockpit doors. With pilots, we have people who are willing to take on the burden of protecting the planes for free. About 70 percent of the pilots at major American carriers have military backgrounds. Frankly, as a matter of pure politics, we cannot understand what the administration is thinking. Nearly 40 House Democrats are in districts were the NRA is more popular than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We can’t find any independent poll in which the public is demanding that pilots disarm. Why does this move make sense? Only anti-gun extremists and terrorist recruits are worried about armed pilots. So why is the Obama administration catering to this tiny lobby at the expense of public safety? ht unclewest

The 9/11 attacks were planned not just a few years, but even decades before 2001. Long before there ever was any "Al Qaeda". Zionist kabbalists in Hollywood have deliberately planted subliminal markers demonstrating their foreknowledge of the September 11th attacks in their films since at least the 1970's. Everything in Hollywood is conducted according to occult rituals. Actors are specifically chosen for their roles not simply because of their good looks, their acting abilities, or their willingness to morally compromise themselves on a casting couch, but because of their birthdays, their names, where they were born, and of course their willingness to be initiated into satanic rituals. There are thousands of pretty faces in Hollywood wanting to be the next lead superstar. Many of these people will sexually compromise themselves to get a starring role. So what are the homosexual and pedophile high priests of Hollywood left to do, when there are a thousand or more people auditioning for a role? How to choose? I will share with you exactly what they do. They select certain actors because they were born on a certain date or a date that calculates a number which is significant to their plans. 9/11, 3/11, 3/22, 4/15, 4/19, 4/20, 12/25, 10/12, etc. People are paying Hollywood so they can view elaborate occult rituals. That's what these films, television shows, songs, and music videos, are--they are nothing but occult rituals. People are paying Hollywood to see how they plan to kill us, and the diabolical Satanists in Hollywood take pleasure in taking your money as they show us exactly how they intend to slaughter us.
