Leaked Audio Reveals Broward Co. Teachers Planning to Illegally Storm the White House

• REVEALED: Anti-gun group failed to get proper permits for #MarchForOurLives event in D.C. this weekend

• Students told by educators to “raise hell” with POTUS

• Broward County teachers coaching children on media ‘talking points’

• Teacher claims Southwest Airlines is bankrolling the anti-gun march

• Students forced to wear Gabby Giffords swag

• Lefty teacher brags about using taxpayer resources to coordinate political event

• ‘Top secret’ meetings planned with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi

• Teacher alludes to ‘Jews’ controlling Washington


A meeting between Parkland students and anti-gun activists mobilizing for the highly anticipated March For Our Lives event in Washington, D.C. this weekend was captured on hidden audio Tuesday evening in Broward County, Florida and provided exclusively to DANGEROUS.

The meeting, which was described as a non-partisan briefing for students, parents, and staff members from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who are attending the #MarchForOurLives, was quickly exposed as being hijacked by Democratic Party top brass and fraught with extreme anti-conservative bias, misappropriation of school resources, and heavy-handed coaching for students when dealing with the media.

Held at the Marriott Hotel in Coral Springs, FL, the meeting was organized by Debby Miller, who teaches at Beachside Montessori Village, a Broward County Public School. Miller introduced herself as a representative for the Giffords Foundation, which has decided to fund and sponsor over 200 students, staff, and parents from Parkland, Florida to attend the march in Washington. Miller stated at the beginning of the meeting that the meeting space was donated by the Marriott Hotel.

The Giffords Foundation, a 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) non-profit founded by Gabby Giffords, the former Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, describes its mission as, “We research, write and propose policies that make Americans safer and mobilize voters and lawmakers in support of safer gun laws.”

During the meeting, Miller also revealed that “Southwest Airlines has decided to donate all of the seats” for everyone who is traveling to Washington with the Giffords Foundation for the illegal march.

In recent weeks, other airlines have entered into the political battleground where guns are concerned. Following the Parkland shooting, both United and Delta airlines cut their corporate ties to the National Rifle Association following the #BoycottNRA social media campaign that was launched by students in Parkland and liberal activists. However, the cutting of ties by these airlines quickly backlashed after Georgia lawmakers approved a bill that stripped out a $50 million tax break for Delta Air Lines by Republican lawmakers as a result of Delta’s new position on firearms.

When contacted for a statement regarding Miller’s claim that Southwest was bankrolling the anti-gun travel, Chris Mainz, a spokesperson for Southwest Airlines said, “That is not true. Southwest airlines is not providing any travel for students.”

Miller, who thought she was speaking to a room full of supporters with no cameras, revealed in the leaked audio what she called “top secret” information about the politically charged march, including Nancy Pelosi’s secret plans to participate in the anti-Trump and anti-Second Amendment protests.

“We’re also going to have things that are not on the agenda that are kind of top secret. So all of the press here just pretend like you’re not hearing this. We will be introduced on Capitol Hill by Nancy Pelosi, so that’s kind of cool. And it’s quite possible we are going to have a private meeting with Joe Biden. Don’t say anything to anyone,” Miller said.

Miller was caught saying to the students, “I want you to feel like it’s going to camp.” That “camp,” completely sponsored by some of the nation’s leading left-wing organizers and lawmakers, comes equipped with activist swag items such as Giffords t-shirts and backpacks. Students are required to wear the Giffords swag while traveling to D.C., Miller told them.

Just like going to camp kids, c'mon it'll be fun. Smile for the camera.

"Giffords t-shirts and backpacks. Students are required to wear the Giffords swag while traveling to D.C., Miller told them."

Sure sounds like The Giffords Foundation is a little more involved than researching writing  and proposing.

Oh just great.  Lefty Teacher unions whipping up the student base to push their agenda.

According to the experts the Liberals were manipulating statistics when they said gun crime is rising:

Experts say Trudeau government's choice of baseline year makes crime stats look worse than they really are

By Evan Dyer, CBC News Posted: Mar 22, 2018 4:00 AM ET Last Updated: Mar 22, 2018 2:05 PM ET

Evan Dyer has been a journalist with CBC for 18 years, after an early career as a freelancer in Argentina. He works in the Parliamentary Bureau and can be reached at evan.dyer@cbc.ca.

The year 2013 has been enjoying a bit of a renaissance lately in government talking points and statistics.

The alarming crime stats presented by Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale at the guns and gangs summit earlier this month in Ottawa all took 2013 as their point of comparison. Goodale pointed to a sharp increase in gang shootings since that year.

That memorable year returned again as the Liberal government on Tuesday advanced its proposed firearms legislation, Bill C-71, making the case that the country had seen a sudden increase in firearms offences since … 2013.

"Gun homicides are up by two-thirds" since 2013, Goodale warned — citing what sounds like a shocking explosion of violence.

"Averages and relationships and trends and graphs are not always what they seem," Darrell Huff warned in his 1954 classic How to Lie With Statistics. "There may be more in them than meets the eye, and there may be a good deal less."

The average citizen, hearing how gun crime has soared since 2013, might well conclude that something alarming has been going on.

What appears to make 2013 attractive as a point of comparison is that any year in the past half century can be made to look alarming by comparing it to 2013.
2013 scare graph

When presented this way, the graph appears to show a sudden and alarming rise in firearm-related crime in Canada. Statistician Pierre-Jérôme Bergeron is critical of this graph produced by Public Safety Canada. "A good graph should have one story to tell, on one scale," he said. "That is a graph made to confuse." (Statistics Canada/Public Safety Canada)

That's because 2013 saw Canada's lowest rate of criminal homicides in 50 years, and the lowest rate of fatal shootings ever recorded by Statistics Canada.

In 2013, Canadians killed each other at the lowest rate since 1966 — 30 per cent below the average of the previous three decades. Statistics Canada's homicide report for 2013 clearly identifies it as a record-breaking year.

"To be worth much, a report based on sampling must use a representative sample," wrote Huff.

But 2013 does not represent any kind of Canadian norm. Choosing it as a baseline could be seen as an example of what statisticians call "selection bias."

"They obviously picked the one year where it was lowest, so as to maximize the impact, the one year to make the change look most drastic, essentially," said Pierre-Jérôme Bergeron, who teaches statistics at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Ottawa.

Citigroup is adding new restrictions for new clients. They deal with gun and gun accessories sales. They want businesses to stop selling high capacity magazines. How is that going to work out? Will they send out teams of secret shoppers and try to buy a 30 rounder? If they get one will they terminate business with that company? I can't see how this policy will cause anything but grief for many people.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-guns-citigroup/citi-sets-restrictions-on-gun-sales-by-retail-clients-idUSKBN1GY29T

In an emailed statement Citi said it will require those clients only sell firearms to customers who have passed a background check, restrict firearms sales for buyers under 21, and not sell so-called “bump stocks” or high-capacity magazines.

I was reading that the #neveragain teenagers from the Flordia highschool aren't too happy.  A case of careful what you ask for maybe.

After the walk outs and marches and TV interviews and talk shows they were told by school officials that all students will be issued transparent backpacks (at no cost to them) and given Id badges.  The students were quite upset at how stupid they they'll look. They didn't want that "they want common sense gun laws".

Students not wanting to wear the backpacks complain  "Its stupid that the actions of one person are infringing on the rights of 3300 students."

And people want to give them the vote. :not-again:

I sort of feel bad for that David Hogg kid. He kinda gets under your skin but whatever he's a teenager right?

I really think someone is setting this kid up for some serious failure. That or he's trolling everyone.

First him and his sister introduced nifty arm bands which drew some ire from people, including some Jewish folks.

They duo quickly apologized and dropped the arm band idea.



But now check out the salute young David fires off after this 4 minute speech.

For context here's the video. He kinda comes to attention and fires this bad boy off. The salute looks a lot more, ahhh, 1939 in the video.

Or you could go with the Black Panthers.

 

[Oldgateboatdriver]

I am with you on that one George: Looks a lot more like the Black resistance movements of the 1970's USA to me.

 

[Jarnhamar]

Maybe. The picture looks Black Panthers-esk. The actual video reminds me of something all together different. Have a look, maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

This lad has handlers. He is but a loudspeaker for his bosses.

I'll bet the democrats have already started grooming him for a career in democrat politics. Or, if this goes for a shit, they'll scapegoat him.

Not really much different from this. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

[Blackadder1916]

. . . The salute looks a lot more, ahhh, 1939 in the video.

Yeah, because anyone who raises their hand in gesture is channeling fascism and are doing so because of their handlers (or because they are too stupid).

 

[Jarnhamar]

Bladadder, FJAG, you watched the video then?

 

[FJAG]

Bladadder, FJAG, you watched the video then?

I did - including the "God Bless America", "I love you" and "We will change the world".

Quite frankly, to me it looked like he was channeling John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever" (but without the finger)

;D

Can't argue with that

The salute  with the armbands still looks messed up to me. His democrat coaches should do a better job.

We're not hearing much about the other side. Those kids don't seem to be getting much spotlight.
