Urgent VCDL update- An attack on gun-rights leaders is underway - spread the word!

fidelity said:

Note that SBC gets these guys on board to suggest arming 3 year olds (the video later switches to 4 year olds) on up in school settings is a good thing. Maybe this is clever editing and they first thought they were endorsing gun safety training for kids, but the gunimal video as well as Pratt's later comments indicate that they agree.

For political figures, maybe they were also in it for the money and award. Former Congressman Joe Walsh said he did the video in part because he thought he was receiving an award from an Israeli organization. However Pratt also said that he would open doors in DC. Do wonder if he (unknowingly) helped set-up current or retired politicians - and there were a bunch besides Walsh in the video. Either way, GOA has to have lost lobbying incluence in Washington DC with Pratt being duped so thoroughly.

This individual will use any Phishing scam he can to get what he wanted. Heck they could have been told it was for a comedy skit.

No phishing used.

Pure prank with a temporary phony website, substantial “fees and expenses“, fake videos with actual Israeli news footage featuring Netanyahu, and an REHEARSED explanations for their target’s possible suspicions.

Think Mission Impossible script, only it worked like a charm.

QUICK HISTORY REVIEW

Back in late February, Philip put out two urgent alerts that he requested be spread far and wide on a coming film that would be attacking gun-rights leaders. (I am including the links below to the February alerts, which have far greater detail, and should answer most other questions.) At the time Philip noted that the attack was possibly going to be something akin to things that Sasha Baron Cohen had done with his "Borat" movie.

It turns out Philip was correct. It was an attack on gun-rights leaders and it was done in a similar fashion to "Borat." Besides Philip, Sasha Baron Cohen tricked, lied to, and set up a host of people, including Larry Pratt, Trent Lott, Dana Rohrabacher, Joe Wilson, and Joe Walsh.

There were others targeted, but a few of those were lucky and dropped out because of horribly botched travel arrangements made by Cohen's team or disinterest in traveling for an interview.

It is a comedic series for Showtime subscribers that began Sunday. In order to attack gun-rights leaders, the antis are using this manipulated and staged farce as if it were a serious, factual, interview.


THE GUN SEGMENT STARTS WITH SLICING AND DICING PHILIP'S COMMENTS

In my discussions with Philip about this issue today, he told me:

"So far I have seen just the early part of the "First Look" at Cohen's series. He had some very crafty and unethical editing done to take a comment I made about one subject and seamlessly splicing it into a different conversation, completely changing the context of what I was talking about.

"For example, NOT seen in the video is a disguised Cohen discussing educating children about gun safety in Israel. He claimed in Israel they start gun safety very young. My response, which is shown, is "we're trying to get that here for 7th and 8th graders, but can't do it." Instead the video shows Cohen talking about arming kids against terrorists, and then he splices in my response about firearms safety training, so it looks like I'm saying we're trying to arm CHILDREN in schools, instead of teachers and other adults.

"Another example. NOT seen on the video is Cohen asking about a bill that VCDL defeated that would have made it illegal for 4 to 6 year-olds to be able to shoot a gun, including an airgun, WITH or without parental supervision and consent. The video shows my response that it was a bad bill and that we killed it. (Not shown was an additional comment that parent's should decide such things for their own children.) However my comment is spliced into a different conversation that makes it sound like I'm condoning 4 year olds having UNSUPERVISED access to guns and VCDL killed a bill that would have made such a thing illegal!

"My hesitation when Cohen asks me if I'll help him make a safety training video for children is where I was deciding to play along or not in order to figure out who was behind this film, what they were actually doing and how they were doing it, and then getting the word out to head this off at the pass and keep it from being completed.

"BTW, in the "training session," ALL the props were silly plastic guns which were glued to toys or stuffed animals, and the content was read from a teleprompter."

Once Philip realized the game being played, and followed up with some detective work in the subsequent days, he sent out the VA-ALERTs and directly contacted other gun rights organizations across the country to warn them. Sadly, others still became trapped in Cohen's web of lies and deceit.

More to come as we learn more about the actual video.

Luckily, the Fox package this AM did not focus on PVC or Larry Pratt. Instead focusing on Bernie Sanders and another person.

But make no mistake, the left will use this as ammo in their upcoming advertising in the mid terms.

We haven't seen the end of the damage done by this massive flim flam
