America prides itself as the land of freedom, the land where 'anything' is possible. Well, yes! Anything is possible including unregulated shootings. The election of Barack Obama reveals how intolerant Americans can be. From the Obamacare bill to the issue of cutting greenhouse gas emission not excluding the fiscalcliff, Americans mostly those who go with the cry of the 'republic' continue to portray him as a sort of 'imported leader' meant to destabilize the republic. Maybe they should be reminded that the sweats, toils and labour of the black men laid the stones of strength for the most powerful nation on earth.

The Gun control debate opens another chapter in the nature of intolerance in the US. Before Piers Morgan, some states in the US had threatened secession, signing a petition to be allowed to part ways with the US of A. The same US is the country that is fast in condemning and intervening in any country in which a sector is willing to secede calling it freedom and self-determination. She ably monitored the break-up of Sudan and is spreading message of doom on Nigeria. Why not allow hers? The United States has two knives gradually cutting her; the powerful Israeli lobby through AIPAC and the assault rifles proponents through NRA. Just like Obama, Piers Morgan became an easy target.

Alex Jones, an influential public figure with 'Alex Jones Shows' having millions of of audience has gone deep to show the real America. He is irascible, impatient, irrational and extremely intolerant. The best deducible point and fact from his irascibility is that every nation, country and society has principles and by all standard and acceptable norms, such principles must not be toiled with, spoken against or jettisoned especially by outsiders. Such is the Second Amendment to the pro-gun Americans and the American Constitution to Americans. Why then are Americans always quick, fast and sharp to speak against others and even the US outrightly intervening in others' affairs causing pains and agonies with and after her presence?

What is Morgan's crime? That the US should ban all assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons as well as increase her spending and actions on mental illnesses and cases. Are they too much to suggest? Alex Jones is trying to tell the world that the US needs nothing of such. He inherently opined that the US should be a country of mad men wielding assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons as if they are knives. He is saying that the Second Amendment legalizes the shootings and to prevent and protect against the shootings, weapons have to be made available in large numbers for more shootings to guard against the shootings. This can only come from a real gun maniac with real mental frailty.

To Piers Morgan, Jones made a 'heretic' statement by implicitly implicating George W. Bush in the 9/11 attacks but by sources and reports, George Bush received an intelligence report of an impending terrorist attack on the US yet he did nothing. The Bush and the Osama families have ties. They have shares in Carlyle Group, a manufacturing group centred on military industrial complex. The company sold heavy machinery and weapons thereby making large gains in the US-Afghanistan-Iraq war. No past President ever demanded CIA reports though they have the right to but H.W. Bush did request for it and flew to Saudi Arabia. All these after 9/11. In every disorder, there is always an order; such is Alex Jones here. (Watch Fahrenheit 9/11)

After the 9/11 attack, the America Airspace was closed and no flight was allowed out of the country but on the 12^th of September, 2001, a plane flew out of the United States carrying the Osama family members who came for a meeting at Carlyle Group. Can George Bush really be exculpated? Even the Kennedys did not directly answer the question. They systematically sidestep it. Is it wrong to point a conspiracy if one is found in the US and in an American President? If African leaders could be controlled to suffer their own people and continuously do so and Gorbachev could be bribed, deceived and praised into allowing the USSR, a powerful nation at that to disintegrate and he did that cheaply and easily just because the US and the West courted and romanced him, there is virtually nothing any leader in the world cannot do against the people and the country. 9/11 was a kind of smokescreen and a foundational structure to get Saddam.

Alex Jones did not forget to mention a polemical angle worth nothing. This is the zenith of his rantings. He said '1776 will commit itself again' if they try to take away their freedom. Gun is their freedom. Shame. This is significant because after so many centuries, despite eliminating independence anniversary unlike most colonised countries and being hegemonic for decades even having Britain genuflect for their country, some Americans still view Britain as a arch foe. They are also the ones to quickly tell Africa to leave the most inhuman occurrence in human history; slave trade behind. We ask; who are the Americans (in this case, deducing Jones, White Americans) if not British and European immigrants? Alex Jones needs tutelage.

The meaning of 1776 committing itself is what? That the 104,658? signatories supporting the deportation of Piers Morgan could demand America go to war with Britain? Or maybe, that a major row could ensue among ordinary Britons and Americans on the streets and public places? People like Jones in America must know and should know that without Britain and the Black man, there would not have been any foundation for the United States of America.
