1995 Video of Eric Holder: We Must ‘Brainwash’ People Against Guns

New video of Eric Holder from 1995 has surfaced, and it may put “Fast and Furious” in a much broader perspective.

Recorded on CSPAN2, the clip shows current Attorney General Eric Holder laying out a strategy to “change the hearts and minds of the people in Washington, DC” in how they look at guns.

“What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes.”

Though it’s no surprise that Eric Holder is anti-gun, critics are saying that his proposed initiatives go too far.  Among other things, Holder suggested that there be some form of hotline you could call if see a gun, or have any “information” about one.

He also said that the school board should have some form of anti-violence or anti-gun message every day.  “Every day, every school, at every level,” he stated.

Last, Holder admitted that his proposal is “brainwashing.”

“We have to be repetitive about this,” he said.  “We need to do this every day of the week, and just really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.”

Watch the video, unearthed by Breitbart.com contributor Charles C. Johnson, below:

Holder has recently come under fire for “Operation Fast and Furious,” where guns were sold to Mexican drug cartels but not properly tracked.  The operation resulted in hundreds of deaths, including that of a U.S. Border patrol agent.  Critics of the Attorney General claim that the operation was intended to create horrific gun violence, allowing the U.S. government to tighten gun control regulations.

      The 2nd Amendment to the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution states that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

      The only thing that will turn this country back to the Constitution is to ADD an Amendment that places TERM LIMITS on CONGRESS and The SUPREME COURT !!!

      They need foreign investors to invest in America. At some point they will have to raise interest rates which will cause price increases and inflation. Many people who own guns will go bankrupt. Therefore I say that no matter whom is the President, they will understand they have to get your guns, and foreign investors will say they will not invest until America is secure. The difference between a Democrat and Republican President is a matter of Gog and Magog battling each other for who is going to be the one to do it.

      He hasbeen running Guns for the Mexican Drug Cartel,and why don’t Holder like Guns now?

      Holder said back than that the Goverment must “Brain Wash” our Young People into thinking
      that Guns are a bad thing?

      “We The People” Have Dictator Obama, Holder, Clinton, Pelosie and Reid,and they are all working to take away our 2-nd Amendment now and our Constitution!

      In addition to the gun-control, Constitution-dismantling, globalist cabal mindset of Holder is the revealing racist confirmation component. Holder cites only black sources when suggesting the calling on of influential role models such as; sitcoms Prince of Bellaire, and Martin, community leaders such as Jesse (professional race-baiter) Jackson, Marion (caught on film with a prostitute and smoking crack) Berry… as well as Chief Justice Clarence Thompson… rather telling.

      The fact is, Rick Santorum does have a long history of supporting gun control.
      In the 90s, he voted to support the Lautenberg Gun Ban, which stripped law-abiding gun owners of their Second Amendment rights for life, simply because they spanked their children or did nothing more than grab a spouses wrist.

      He voted for a bill in 1999 disguised as an attempt to increase penalties on drug traffickers with guns… but it also included a provision to require federal background checks at gun shows.

      And then he voted with gun-controlling Democrats Dianne Fienstein and Frank Lautenberg to mandate locks on handguns in 2005.

      But worst of all, Rick Santorum has a storied history of bailing out anti-gun Republicans facing reelection.

      Rick Santorum came to anti-gun Arlen Specter’s defense in 2004 when he was down in the polls against pro-gun Republican Pat Toomey. Specter won and continued to push for gun control during his years in the Senate.

      He also supported and openly campaigned for anti-gun New Jersey governor, Christine Todd Whitman.

      @encinom A “well regulated militia” meant, in that time, a well disciplined and trained militia.

      Maryland’s State Constitution says:

      ARTICLE IX – MILITIA AND MILITARY AFFAIRS.

      SECTION 1. The General Assembly shall make, from time to time, such provisions for organizing, equipping and disciplining the Militia, as the exigency may require, and pass such Laws to promote Volunteer Militia organizations as may afford them effectual encouragement.

      The US Code says:

      10 USC § 311 – Militia: composition and classes.

      (a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

      (b)The classes of the militia are—

      (1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

      (2)the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

      “Who are the militia, if they be not the people of this country…? I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers.”

      “For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security.”

      “None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important.”

      “The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that… it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.”

      “No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms (within his own lands or tenements).”

      “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

      I did a paper when I was in college, the most restictive areas have the highest crime rates, the most unrestrictive have the lowest crime rates, in relation to gun violence. Florida was one example I used in my paper, there was a county that had a very high spike in violence against women, the Sheriff and a Judge simple issued conceal carry to any woman who wanted one, and a gun training class, crimes plummited, but the county next to them violence started spiking (much more restrictive county). Some of the arrested criminals were from the conceal carry county, and when asked why they were committing crimes outside their county, their answer, “I didn’t want to get shot”.

      Yes – Areas where there are strict Gun Laws show the highest crime rates. I love being in Arizona – Gun Laws here are allowing people to carry concealed guns and just have guns more freely. Our founders knew that the citizens of this country should be allowed to have them because of the tyranny they came from. It kept the Government in check. Besides, the Gun Laws are only going to apply to those of us who follow the law to begin with. The criminals will carry guns legal or not. I love to read the stories in our country when someone tried to break in a persons home or rob them, only to end up at the wrong end of the gun because the citizen defended themselves. Gun sales have gone through the roof since Obama took office and continue to skyrocket. There‘s a reason why a Government who wants to control their citizens through tyranny wouldn’t want the citizens to be armed. Every time Americans hear that their Government wants to take another one of their rights and freedoms, no matter how small or insignificant, we should stand up in outrage and demand we aren’t having it. Letting little bits of our liberty and freedom go over the past 100 years is what got us to where we are now. We were founded as a Republic by the way. That is not the same as a Democracy – get‘s me concerned every time I hear one of our politicians talking about America’s Democracy. We were founded as a Christian Nation by the way!

      So true Scuba! The majority don’t agree with their Socialist ideas because – Hey – We don’t want Socialism! Our Founders didn’t want to live under a Tyranny – So what do our Leftist/Progressive leaders do??? They underhandedly push their agenda no matter what the public wants. They claim their own enlightened level of intelligence far outweighs all of our own stupidity. We hear it all the time – ‘They know what’s best for us’ They want to silence all opposition, they lie when what they do is right in front of us, they ridicule, threaten, intimidate and when all else fails, they yell Racist! It’s such an obvious playbook – but when anyone on the Right points that out – They step up again and start spouting out how extremist we all are. We are all a bunch of Christian Conservative nuts who just can’t be trusted with guns. They have hijacked the media, the education system, have the Fed, regulations so ridiculously deep that unraveling it seems impossible, people who can just take you away, The EPA etc. I remember growing up in this country and learning about all the evils of Communism, Dictators and Tyrannies in the World’s past. The hundreds of millions who have been slaughtered under these people and yet ironically, through time and slow historical revisionism, our society is lulled right back into it again. I often imagine what the citizens must have been like as Hitler slowly came to power? I doubt they thought it was possible either.

      Just like any other law on the books, our nation (state and federal level) doesn’t enforce them so there is no deterent from ignoring the law or any oath that is taken. Not until they start punishing to the fullest extent of the law people holding these positions who take an oath nothing will change. They will continue to operate above the law.

    Well that explains it. When young people are smoking cigarettes and after putting out the cigarette, they look at the “butt” of the cigarette and that reminds them about “the butt-of-a-gun“ and it gives them the strong desire to ”carry a gun”. Makes sense to me, Mr. Holder. I am, however, alittle concerned that you use the word “brainwash”…that sounds so “The Dark Crystal” .You remember when “they” were sucking-out-the-soul-essence of innocent victims?

      Grace – Are you Gelfling? I love the movie and it did show a distinctive line between good and evil.

      Holder (as well as most on the left) have an attitude that they know what is best and everyone else is just too stupid. People have to be ‘trained’ to see things their way – what he admits is brainwashing. My problem with him was how he wanted to use the educational system for something it should never be used for – imposing his political agenda. Schools were never supposed to be social engineering labs yet the left uses them for just that purpose. Children are being indoctrinated instead of educated – no wonder the US educational system is no longer the best in the world. Instead of the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic we teach global warming and how it is our fault, we teach Obama love songs and chants, we teach distorted history that makes America the bad guy, we teach sex education to kids not even ready for puberty.

      The left is unable to win the debate on its ideas so it brainwashes skulls full of mush, raising up a generation of robots to regurgitate the propaganda it has been spoon fed – we see it in the OWS movement where talking points have to be posted so people know why they are there.

Why did this president hold his DNC rally at a 70,000 seat stadium, and why is he going to do the same thing this year? Look at the Facist rallys, look at the communist rallys, it makes for great visual propaganda to show thousands shouting your name.

      Treason
      · Violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one’s country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
      · A betrayal of trust or confidence.

      Oran’s Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as “…[a]…citizen’s actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation].” In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavour.
