Pay no attention to the men behind the curtain folks, move along, move along….

Look, over there, a South Carolina student dragged from her classroom.  Quick, over here, Donald Trump polling showing he’s dropped to second place… fine print? ..move along, move along, nothing to see here folks, move along.

What could possibly be going on that would demand such necessary distractions? (more…)

The latest PPP Poll from North Carolina shows Donald Trump extending his lead in the state.  Ben Carson comes in second with 23% and Carly Fiorina has collapsed from last month landing at 6%, with less than half her previous favorability and double the unfavorability.  Candidate Jeb Bush also takes a severe step backwards.

In NC Trump's actually improved from 26% to 31% in last month. 52/35 fav basically identical to 53/36 in September: https://t.co/sfrlK5gipI

We would be remiss, however, if we did not note something rather bizarre happening today.  We knew the poll was going to be available because of an earlier press release on October 24th from PPP Polling announcing they were conducting it.  However, all day, if you tried to find the poll itself, the ppp website was unavailable until 4:20pm.   (PPP tweeted results at 10:00am, and the PPP website operates on the “Cloud”)

Accepting the reality that very large and powerful interests are pulling out all the stops to try and diminish the insurgent frontrunner, Donald Trump, and given our prior research which shows their manipulative media intent therein, it would appear that all efforts are being exhausted to block the general public from seeing positive Trump polling data.

Incredible expose’ article within Breitbart showcasing the depth of the trickery being played by the GOPe in their efforts to install Amnesty advocate Paul Ryan.

The article highlights a PBS documentary containing this video of House Freedom Caucus founder Representative Mick Mulvaney, and further goes on to show Machiavellian scheme constructed for several years:

UPDATE:  Having watched the full PBS outline (Available Here) any conservative pundit, media outlet, blogger or activist who doesn’t immediately begin pulling back the curtain on this construct doesn’t deserve to be considered as legitimate.

The PBS story absolutely appears to be the initial thread to discover that Speaker John Boehner’s decision to abdicate his position, and the decision by McCarthy to withdraw from consideration, was/is a planned scheme to advance Paul Ryan specifically to attain immigration reform. (more…)

REMINDER !!

Ironically were it not for Frances Robles writing a Miami Herald article on March 26th 2012 an entire chain of events would not have taken place.

It was that Robles article, and the outlining of the Miami-Dade School Police Department’s report on a Trayvon Martin incident from October 2011, that kicked off an internal investigation by M-DSPD Police Chief Hurley against his own officers to find out who leaked the police report.

[Note: The Miami-Dade Public School System has its own Police force, and Chief, who report to the School Board and Superintendent – Not the Police Dept. The Police Chief is appointed by the School Superintendent, in this example, Alberto Carvalho]

It was that M-DSPD internal affairs investigation which revealed in October 2011 Trayvon Martin was searched by School Resource Officer, Darryl Dunn. The search of Trayvon Martin’s backpack turned up at least 12 pcs of ladies jewelry, and a man’s watch, in addition to a flat head screwdriver described as “a burglary tool”.

When Trayvon was questioned about who owned the jewelry and where it came from, he claimed he was just holding it for a “friend”. A “friend” he would not name.

Later, after the police report was outlined in the Robles article, and despite Trayvon being suspended for the second time in a new school year, Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump, said Trayvon’s dad, Tracy Martin, and Trayvon’s mom, Sybrina Fulton, did not know anything about the jewelry case.

It was only as a consequence of the M-DSPD internal affairs investigation that “why” they may not have known came to light. (more…)

“Based on the evidence developed in this investigation and the recommendation of experienced career prosecutors and supervising attorneys at the Department, we are closing our investigation and will not seek any criminal charges.”

~  Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik

WASHINGTON (AP) — No IRS official would face criminal charges arising from the political controversy over the processing of applications for tax-exempt status, the Justice Department announced Friday.

In a letter to members of Congress, the department said that while investigators had found “mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia,” there was no evidence of a crime. (more…)

When we wrote the Benghazi Brief we walked through almost two years of research data from February 2011 through September 2012.   The brief describes the who’s, what’s, where, when and why of everything up to 9/11/12.

However, we did not have the specific “why” of the actual attack itself.   Recent document releases fill in that aspect:

Afternoon Session

At 10:00am Eastern Time the House Select Committee on Benghazi will hold Hearing #4 – “The Testimony of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton”. (advisory)

The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00am and may run until 6:00pm depending on depth of questioning. Here is a live Stream Link:

Everyone should remember the June admission from the U.S. State Department:

JUNE 2015 – Washington, DC—Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy today released the following statement after the State Department Thursday evening informed the committee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not turn over all of her records related to Benghazi and Libya.

“The State Department has informed the Select Committee that Secretary Clinton has failed to turn over all her Benghazi and Libya related records. This confirms doubts about the completeness of Clinton’s self-selected public record and raises serious questions about her decision to erase her personal server—especially before it could be analyzed by an independent, neutral third party arbiter.

“This has implications far beyond Libya, Benghazi and our committee’s work. This conclusively shows her email arrangement with herself, which was then vetted by her own lawyers, has resulted in an incomplete public record. (more)

Following up to yesterday and the Elijah Cummings pre-testimony report, let’s focus on the CBS presentation therein.

CBS is a good reference to show the media obfuscation attempts because CBS holds a vested self-interest in deflections around the various Benghazi narratives.  You might remember it was Ben Rhodes who wrote the Benghazi talking points; Ben’s brother David is President of CBS News.

In addition, you might also remember it was CBS, via 60 Minutes, who withheld/embargoed a broadcast pre election 2012 where President Obama denied al-Qaeda’s terrorist involvement.

A claim Obama denied making in the Candy Crowley debate against his opponent Mitt Romney.  CBS covered Obama’s ass allowing the lie to go undiscovered until after the November 2012 election.  It was also CBS who refused to allow Sharyl Attkisson to continue investigative reporting on the Benghazi story.

Here’s the current presentation of the Elijah Cummings report by CBS: (more…)

The more time @JebBush spends talking about George W Bush, the more we get to see how @realDonaldTrump strategically outmatches opposition.

(Via Buzzfeed) In 2000, 19 months before Sept. 11, 2001, Donald Trump wrote extensively of the terrorism threat the United States was facing.

Trump, who at the time was considering a presidential bid on the Reform Party ticket, went so far as to say that an attack on a major U.S. city was not just a probability, but an inevitability.

“I really am convinced we’re in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers,” wrote Trump in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if but when it will happen.”

Trump even mentions Osama bin Laden by name, in a criticism of an American foreign policy that too quickly jumps from one crisis to the next. (more…)
