Manufactured Terror In The Homeland (VIDEO)

This week’s Real Politik consists of a pre-recorded conversation with RT correspondent and commentator Patrick Henningsen with James Tracy that originally aired on the July 26 edition of Henningsen’s weekly radio broadcast, Sunday Wire.

Mr. Henningsen is also the founder of the exciting alternative news and analysis website 21st Century Wire.

Henningsen and Tracy discuss the mass shooting phenomenon in America, the Sandy Hook massacre, the recent string of almost daily shootings throughout the US south, including Charleston, Chattanooga, and Lafayette, and how such events are sensationalized by corporate media to elicit public support for certain political agendas such as gun control and mandatory mental health protocols being rolled out at public schools nationwide.
