The truth is that people are no longer distinguishing between gasoline and jet fuel. The ME-109 and the FW-190 prop fighters flew on high octane Aviation gasoline. Stuff that would make the premium you put in your car look like low end regular. Jets however fly on jet fuel which is closer to Diesel in its burn properties and can't be used in a gasoline engine. You could fill the tank of a FW-190 with ME-262 jet fuel and you would crank the engine until doomsday and you wouldn't get it to kick over.

Oh, some would say that the jet fuel must therefore be a special process that wastes a lot of oil in its manufacture. Thus the new histories hold because if they made gasoline out of it, they would have made more fuel. But again thats a complete misunderstanding of how oil is refined. You don't create just jet fuel, or just gasoline, when you put oil through a refinery. You create both, and many other things, when you refine oil. The process of creating gasoline also creates as a byproduct, Diesel, Jet fuel, Plastics, nylon, polyester, and many other things.

Until the ME-262 came into existence, the by product we now call jet fuel was simply dumped into a waste pit. Thus, when the ME-262 came out it was flying on the waste product produced to support the other prop fighters and even the German tanks in gasoline. It never emptied any other vehicles fuel tanks: it simply added its presence to the Luftwaffe prop fighters already attacking American and British bombers. It was only when the germans could no longer get oil to process for high octane gasoline did the prop fighters get grounded: and when the prop fighters were grounded so also was grounded the ME-262.

In a recent news post it was reported that California mountain lions were reporting positive for exposure to rat poison. The reporter blamed this on urban humans trying to kill rats and it just has migrated up the food chain to the big cats in the forests. The real truth however is that the rat poison is being set out by Cannabis growers who are using the national forests as their personal gardens. As even the sierra club has begun admitting, these illegal growers are spreading out rat poison  around their fields to keep squirrels and mice from damaging their all important crop. But since its cannabis, the fact they are the source now has to be suppressed in the name of political correctness. So the marijuana growers continue to destroy habitat and poison the cats (big and small) and someone else gets the blame. Very standard for this new progressive era.

Hillary Clinton loves to use her 90 a day number as the number of people killed by guns in the United States. Sounds like a great political number to bash the NRA with. But is it truthful?
From the CDC 2013 data, the number of Americans killed by guns in assaults- 11,208 which corresponds to just less then 31 a day.

To get the number to her 90 we have to add suicides- 21,175 and the number of accidental deaths- 505. This being said how many accident car deaths do we have or accidental drownings- Ans over 35,000 car deaths and we have 3,000 drownings. We even have 30,000 people killed in accidental falls. As for non firearm suicides we have just over 19,000.

The point, back in the 80s the gun control movement decided to add every gun death they could find to their statistic. Many of their advocates never understood this and believe that they are stating the number of gun homicides. I had a director at Boeing who asked me why I supported gun ownership when it took over 50,000 lives a year. He had taken the 32,000 number (the combined murder, suicide and accident) and then re-added the suicide and accident. And the virtual number keeps growing.

​In closing I want to link to my page on Australian numbers. Gun-controlists want to brag that they reduced gun related suicides in Australia and Canada. They reduced the number done by gun, but at the cost of ignoring that non-firearm suicides either increased in proportion, or even increased overall. I don't think Hillary wants to just re-list the deaths under a different column and then hide it behind a curtain, which is what the gun control movement has done for more then two decades.

Of course the Progressives can only talk of gun related suicides for a limited period of time now. Which progressive states like California passing laws allowing the right to commit suicide, how can they then make an issue of the means used.

What a world we live in. Within an hour of a man shooting students at an Orgeon university we had people demanding new gun control laws. This evening Barrack himself joined the expected chorus and called on people to remove politicians who would support "Common Sense" gun laws. 

Do we know anything about the guy who did this: not even his name has been officially released. Do we know what type of gun he used: seems he may have used up to four guns so it would indicate he didn't use a "Assault Rifle." Thus we do not even know what kind of guns to restrict. 

But the real revelation we got from this that the Charlie Hebdo shooting didn't occur. That the subsequent shooting at at Jewish grocery store and even the train shooting our off-duty soldiers stopped, didn't happen. The source of this revelation, Barrack Obama. For according to Barrack these kind of mass shootings don't happen in other countries. Barrack also ran through a list of shootings that fit his criteria. One shooting he missed however was Fort Hood, a curious mistake. He also suggested (really ordered) newspapers to post the number of terrorist deaths of americans next to what he obvious means are "plain" gun deaths. Again curious he would say this and miss Fort Hood (oh right Fort Hood was work place violence). 

My suggestion is that the newspapers note the homicide rates of these alternative nations (full rates, not just gun rates) and let people see that. I also suggest people read my right up on Australia on my site and see what Barrack doesn't want to tell us. Particularly in this time when Putin is starting a military draft and bombing troops we trained in Syria. what would like to see from Barrack, a certified list of all the reserve small arms we have for our military and thus how many men we could draft in an emergency.
