George Zimmerman is in the crosshairs, but only momentarily and incidentally. Zimmerman is a political product, a product to be used as as a specific example to the rest of the cultural nation who refuse to bow to the alter of the BGI collective.
Most of the things we are freaked about today were fully fatal 13 months, or 13 years ago: George Zimmerman’s situation caused many to notice a growing lump on our neck. The cancer was already killing us. The lump on the side of our neck really isn’t just a bother because it makes our shirt collars sit funny. The cancer was metastasized long before we noticed that the shirt was sitting funny and wouldn’t button right. We should have figured out by now that the shirt is not the problem. The bump on the side of our neck is not the problem. The color of the shirt is certainly not the problem.
The problem is metastasized malignancy.
Refusing to deal with that is a choice, and refusal to make a choice in light of the facts (for fear of the unknowns that lie beyond the choice) is also a choice. It’s all connected……
…”Moreover, if the EEOC claims that “criminal record exclusions have a disparate impact based on race and national origin” why should an employer suffer the consequences of faulty decisions made by individuals?”…
Back in December we discussed a decision in New Jersey where on September 19, 2012, the Newark, New Jersey Municipal Council passed Ordinance 12-1630, “which limits employers’ ability to conduct criminal background checks.” The ordinance went into effect November 18, 2012 and “prevents employers with five or more employees who do business, employ persons or take applications for employment in the City of Newark, from asking applicants about their criminal history.”
At the time we warned this was just the beginning, and the concept would apply nationally. So this recent article should come as no surprise:
WASHINGTON DC - In April the EEOC unveiled its “Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records,” which declares that “criminal record exclusions have a disparate impact based on race and national origin.”
The impetus for this “guidance” is that black men are nearly seven times more likely than white men to serve time in prison, and therefore refusals to hire convicts disproportionally impact blacks, according to a Wall Street Journal opinion piece by James Bovard, a libertarian author and lecturer whose books include “Freedom in Chains: The Rise of the State and the Demise of the Citizen.”
Most businesses perform background checks on potential employees, but the EEOC frowns on these checks and “creates legal tripwires that could spark federal lawsuits,” Bovard observes.
An EEOC commissioner who opposed the new policy, Constance Baker, said in April that the new guidelines will scare businesses from conducting background checks. (more)
Perhaps the Business should send a certified letter to the EEOC stating this: “We will refrain from our legal right to conduct a background check upon a potential employee and our freedom to associate and do business with individuals of our choice. However, in exchange for doing this, the Federal Government assumes all responsibility for any financial loss suffered by our business, our customers or our employees and hereby grants criminal immunity to the business and any management for any non-directed criminal action taken by said employee during the course of the employment.”
Call it an “insurance policy.” Let’s see how fast they get burned by a criminal conducting a criminal act.
Those eyes of George Zimmerman burn right into my soul and I feelas a human being I have not done enough to help.him
You have done all you can, my friend. Treepers have investigated and supported George finanacially and emotionally. Our battle for justice for George is against a very powerful and evil enemy. A lot of pictures of George break my heart to see including this one.
I have felt those same emotions for months now Canadacan and they continue to worsen every day this injustice continues. With each new revelation of manipulation by our “Legal System” ( which unfortunately has become an oxymoron) I feel more and more helpless as any effort on my part seems futile. Each day I log on to the CTH hoping the lead story, masterfully written by Sundance of course, will be ” IT’S OVER….HE’S FINALLY FREE” with all the details of how justice finally prevailed and an innocent mans nightmare is over. Each day that passes, however, become just a glaring reminder of just how TINY a fish I am in a HUGE pond now infested with IMMORAL and UNETHICAL self- serving PIRANHAS!!!!
I can suggest ONE way that you can further aid George:
EVERY TIME YOU VISIT A WEBSITE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE A COMMENT, POST A COMMENT THAT EXPLAINS HIS PLIGHT AND ASK THE READERS TO MAKE A DONATION TO HIS DEFENSE FUND!
If you don’t “surf the web” on a regular basis, then make it a point to search for FIVE recent articles that deal with topics like “gun control legislation” or “police misconduct” or “malicious prosecution”. Even articles that deal with the erosion of our constitutional rights are likely to have AT LEAST A FEW TRUE PATRIOTS who will recognize the simple fact that THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANY ONE OF US!
“We Are All George Zimmerman”

So if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I’ll come running
This is kinda like the “attack” plan I posted the other day. Yes, I still think virulization can be a strong weapon, but lots of effort most be put into it to be effective.
One more reason American jobs have been, and will continue to be, off shored.
High numbers of immigrants coming in every year and at the same time shipping more jobs overseas. This cannot have a good ending.
Metastasized Government! (Great analogy, SD!)
If those are the new standards, well then gun owners shouldn’t be require a background check either being that it would potentially be discriminatory. As president clearly stated during the 2008 campaign about people who “cling to their guns and religion” clearly referring to the bible belt-gun owning segment of society, witch is predominantly conservative and white.
If I was an employer, based on this information, I would more likely hire a white person if I could not check on their background. Just to be safer in my choice. Now how does that help the black candidate? It would actually backfire wouldn’t it? Not really awake yet
You are awake. if there is a felony conviction that person should be allowed to explain it in person as well as in writing. if their job history is good and they have excellent references that you can check and they were honest about their past record I say give them a chance. but you should be able to talk about it that means an acknowledgement of the situation.
Where did the principle of “disparate impact” originate? It sounds like complete hoowey. If a certain group are seven times more likely to commit crimes and go to prison as another group then they are have a disparate impact on civil society not the other way around.
I have head this federal policy used before where Obama has talked about only expelling black males from school at the same rate as other students because expulsions have a disparate effect on black males. So now some schools will have to have female asians expelled at the same rate as black males. This disparate effect nonsense is just the administrations trump card that they can play instead of dealing with the high level of crimminal acts that blacks commit. We are living in opposite land where all the allowances are make to crimminals not the law abiding.
I don’t believe that blacks are prone to high levels of crimminal behavior by nature. I believe that their high level of dysfunctional behavior comes from their 70% illegitamacy rate. If you only compare blacks with two parent households to whites with two parent households most of the difference in crimminal behavior and poverty rates disapear. Until the black community address this they will have their citizens incarcerated and killed at a higher rate than other. It is not racism or society that is causing this “disparate effect” it is that you are comparing one group with 70% illegitimacy to another group with 30% of families with one parent homes. We are not looking at apples to apples. It’s criminal that the government pushes every thing at blacks except the one thing that would really lift them up. Intact families. It breaks my heart to see people dying out when the solution to their torment is right in front of them. It’s absolutly sinister but the reason that liberals don’t want the black community to get fixed is that these future two parent households may well start voting for conservative policies as they won’t need the government to be their Daddy. This is the cold hard truth as to why blacks will continue to suffer under liberal administrations. It is by design.
