For anyone following this story/legal case you know what the local ground players in/around Orlando have been doing. They have been systematically and methodically distancing themselves from the “George Zimmerman is Racist” narrative. The retreat is now going mainstream. Quickly.
The retreat began with the Media Consultant, Ryan Julison, who sold the initial racist narrative as part of the “media strategy“, his sales pitch, or in pitchman lingo “the hook”.  Immediately after following our site and looking at the research Julison took down his company website; then he scrubbed his company facebook page where he was bragging about “working with” the various reporters in framing their story, and sharing the specific stories he worked on with them.
Those stories were filled with false statements about George Zimmerman being a 247lb “white” male. Or, in the New York Times example, he helped create the new ethnicity “White-Hispanic“.
 
We outlined how Julison also used the Orlando Sentinel, and one reporter specifically named Jeff Weiner, to frame the false narrative and sell the Julison-Jackson version of events.  Those Weiner articles  were picked up and used by other media outlets and sold in their markets across the US.
We also shared how this is the norm for how Natalie Jackson and Ryan Julison work, they are quite proficient with using this approach. Apparently, the quid-pro-quo works well.
The latest retreats are from ABC and CNN. We start with CNN and a CNN National Legal Contributor/Analyst who we have outlined is connected to the Orlando machine, Mark Nejame.   Mr Nejame appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan show last night to share the following mea culpa. Listen carefully to exactly what words and phrases he uses:

(CNN) This evening “Piers Morgan Tonight” welcomed Mark Nejame with new details on George Zimmerman, the man charged with killing Trayvon Martin.

Joining Piers Morgan for a live interview, the CNN legal analyst shared an exclusive photograph which suggests Zimmerman has black heritage:

“The man in the middle is apparently George Zimmerman’s great-grandfather. The woman above him, is in fact his grandmother who is half black,” explained Nejame. “And the little child in the gentleman’s lap, is his mother. So we see that he really has significant multiracial, multicultural roots.” 

In a case ripe with racial undertones, Nejame suggests that Thursday’s photo may help the Zimmerman camp refute theories that Martin’s death was a result of profiling and bigotry:

“Talking to people who know him, I have changed my position,” revealed the guest. “People can come up with whatever conclusions they want. But from looking at the facts and the evidence, I don’t think there is a racial motive in there.”  (more)

I’ll get back to Nejame in a minute, but for now let me just reinforce some points for folks that don’t watch the media manipulations as much as we do.    CNN specifically chose to air this segment on Piers Morgan.   They could have chosen Anderson Cooper AC360, or Erin Burnett-Out Front, or Wolf Blitzer, or any show, but they didn’t, they chose Piers Morgan.
Why?  Because Piers Morgan has been the most anti-Zimmerman personality on CNN.
This is an actuarial decision made by the Risk Management dept. where they weigh the greatest exposure to fiduciary risk from litigation.   The worst of all CNN shows, from a risk perspective, proclaiming George Zimmerman as a racist, have come from The Piers Morgan show.
Hence Mark Nejame dispatched to that specific show.   This is not coincidence.   It’s how they roll.    Risk Management calls Production Management tells them to set it up, and now this mea culpa can be leveraged to deflect their irresponsible selling of the race filled narrative.

Mark Nejame has some skin in the game too because he is associated locally in Florida with Ryan Julison through The International Prostate Cancer Foundation where he is on the executive board and Julison is the head of their National Public Relations Campaign.

A firm connection between Julison and Nejame is easily provable, and optically dangerous to CNN, consequently that relationship carries a fiduciary risk.
The easiest way to present your case for risk avoidance is to diminish the risk by having the member who presents the risk deliver the diminishing counter message.
Mark Nejame delivered last nights message on CNN for the same reason Ryan Julison deleted his website and scrubbed his company Facebook page.    Risk avoidance!

literally simultaneous to Mark Nejame appearing on CNN a Virginia affiliate of ABC was broadcasting  a major reversal in their position and framing of the Zimmerman case.  This one was even more staggering because unlike the CNN retreat the ABC retreat was unexpected and delivered some highly interesting information.  Emphasis mine.

Did George Zimmerman shoot in Self Defense? – ABC7’s Scott Thuman went inside the Sanford, Florida neighborhood where the shooting happened.

He talks with Frank Taaffe, a friend of Zimmerman’s, and a former neighborhood watch volunteer himself, who says it was self-defense.

Taafe shows us what he says eye witnesses told him happened that night in the Twin Lakes neighborhood.

In this now infamous neighborhood, there’s almost as much foot traffic as vehicle traffic. There’s a cut-through frequented by kids, some following the very same footsteps as Trayvon Martin.

But in an area hit by thieves, up to 11 times in 14 months, and where property value has plummeted, there was also plenty of suspicion.

“He’s parked here, the vehicles in this direction and he watches Trayvon come down here, stares at him out his window and according to George he circles around the car here and he heads back off in this direction here,” Taaffe says.

“Trayvon’s walking in this direction, George is maintaining a visual on him all the time in contact with the dispatcher.”

The police dispatcher told Zimmerman to quit following Martin.

But Taaffe says that when Zimmerman went back to his vehicle, he’s the one who became a victim.

Based on what he says witnesses told him, Taaffe points to the pavement and says, “Right here, this is it, this is where Trayvon punched George to the ground and started slamming his head right here on this concrete.”

Taaffe says he believes more witnesses will come forward and set the record straight.

Friday night at 5, Scott Thuman takes a look at why folks here say the media got it so wrong, why some say the decision to arrest Zimmerman came all the way from Washington, and if it’s a local shooting, why is the FBI involved?   (read more…)

Now ask yourself why would a VIRGINIA local ABC affiliate be broadcasting the most consequential news yet in the recent events surrounding the George Zimmerman case.   Why Virginia?  and why ABC?
Does Virginia, or more specifically Norfolk Virginia stand to gain something from reducing the toxic hate filled and highly charged narrative?   You bet they do.    And why ABC allowing a reversal in position?   Same reason CNN did their little walk back.
The media is famous for positioning themselves on the self-created right side of an issue, and taking credit for exposing the exact thing they created.   Cultural Marxism in the media alive and well.
What is also interesting about this ABC story is the advanced notification of the story about the flawed media narrative, and their knowlege of the FBI (where are they based?) returning to Sanford for further talk and “an announcement“.
In my opinion, having followed this and other media creations with consequence driven by the judiciary, this is all connected.  The FBI office is based in Virginia.   The instructions are coming in from DC .  The instructions are from top down to tamp down the narrative because there is no “cause” in the Zimmerman case.
In addition, the beating in Norfolk Virginia  has grown legs.   There are highly interested parties in this case, with direct knowledge of what is in the unreleased 911 tapes from the Virginia-Pilot beatings.    We already know it is going to be highly charged and graphic because Marjom Rostami has stated she was calling 911 when she was under attack inside the car.   One can only imagine what was screamed toward her.

Remember the secretive DOJ Peacekeeper group?   This is exactly what they specialize in.  Technically they are called the Community Relations Service or CRS:

It is the only Federal entity dedicated to assisting state and local government units, private and public organizations, and community groups with preventing and resolving racial and ethnic tensions, incidents, and civil disorders. The CRS works to restore stability and accord.
CRS facilitates the development of viable, mutual understandings and agreements as alternatives to coercion, violence, or litigation. CRS does not take sides among disputing parties and, in promoting the principles and ideals of non-discrimination, applies skills that allow parties to come to their own agreement.

CRS is the Department’s “peacemaker” for community conflicts and tensions arising from differences of race, color, and national origin.  (learn about them here)
