Blatter Friday: "Resigning would be an admission of wrongdoing" – Today: FIFA President Blatter Resigns….

Last week a host of top level executives within FIFA, soccer’s governing body, were indicted in a massive corruption sting. Despite the corruption and bribery scandal the governing body re-elected Sepp Blatter for another term as president for the organization. However, Blatter is despised by the fans and larger soccer community as a whole.
Watch this quite funny John Oliver (HBO) video for context


Many people called for Blatter to resign ahead of his re-election, and following his victory Blatter told Swiss TV (Friday): “Why would I step down? That would mean I recognise that I did wrong.”
Today he stunned everyone and resigned. (more…)

Report: The FBI is Operating a Domestic Surveillance Flight Program Without Warrants Or Oversight….

We already knew the FBI was using Stingray cell data technology via drones and planes, however it appears the surveillance program is considerably more extensive.

Blinds-Flag-secrecyWASHINGTON DC – The FBI is operating a small air force with scores of low-flying planes across the country carrying video and, at times, cellphone surveillance technology — all hidden behind fictitious companies that are fronts for the government, The Associated Press has learned.
The planes’ surveillance equipment is generally used without a judge’s approval, and the FBI said the flights are used for specific, ongoing investigations. In a recent 30-day period, the agency flew above more than 30 cities in 11 states across the country, an AP review found. (more…)

BREAKING NEWS IN WACO: Read our Media Release being distributed at this time:

BOND REDUCTIONS OFFERED ONLY IN EXCHANGE FOR WAIVING POTENTIAL LAWSUITS IN WACO SHOOTOUT

Waco, Texas – Earlier today, detainees in the Jack Harwell Detention Center in Waco were told that in exchange for bond reductions, they must sign a document stating the Waco police “had the right to arrest the inmate and that he/she will not file a lawsuit against McLennan County and/or the City of Waco.” (more…)

DOJ: "Nice Website You Got There, Be a Shame If Something Happened To it"….

Previously the DOJ was only going so far as to call the Tea-Party right-wing extremists so they could be easily targeted by the IRS. Now the DOJ intends to push the envelope further by attaching the “right-wing” label to Islamic Jihad. The truth is fundamentally opposite. Totalitarian regimes are on the far left of the political and governmental continuum. But lets not allow facts to mess up a good propaganda campaign.
Loretta lynch(Washington Free Beacon) The Department of Justice is concentrating on “far-right” groups in a new study of social media usage aimed at combatting violent extremism.
The Justice Department’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ) awarded Michigan State University $585,719 for the study, which was praised by Eric Holder, the former attorney general, earlier this year.
“There is currently limited knowledge of the role of technology and computer mediated communications (CMCs), such as Facebook and Twitter, in the dissemination of messages that promote extremist agendas and radicalize individuals to violence,” according to the NIJ grant. “The proposed study will address this gap through a series of qualitative and quantitative analyses of posts from various forms of CMC used by members of both the far-right and Islamic extremist movements.” (more…)

Saint Louis County Judge Will Hear Argument From Grand Jury Critic – Mike Brown Shooting Case

The issues within the Post Dispatch article below highlight the problems created by media publicity within the legal system.
Media Lying
Similar to the Trayvon Martin shooting much, if not most, of the information transmitted to the public in the Mike Brown shooting was created by agenda driven media entities like MSNBC, CNN, all the alphabets, and 90%+ of the print media. Most of it completely false.  
The media, essentially broken down into various factions within an ideologically similar left-wing profession, looking for a cause, a Ryan Julison type cause, to push upon their readership and viewership – while inflating their own ego and liberal bona fides.
Rioting erupts in Ferguson, Missouri after police involved shooting of an unarmed teenOh yes, make no mistakes, the real enemy in all of these events is an intentionally deceitful media.
To offset the inherent bias stemming from the embedded, media-driven, false narrative, Prosecutor Robert McCulloch gave the grand jury every available scintilla of information to present the total realistic picture of what took place in Canfield Greens apartment complex. Simultaneously, outside the Grand Jury, the false stories fraught with agenda-interests were being promoted by the media 24/7.
There was, in essence, two realities. One inside the legal preceedings based on fact, the other outside in the rest of the world based on emotion and deception. It is no surprise to see how some cannot grasp the concept of being lied to so totally and completely. (more…)

First Waco "Twin Peaks" Wrongful Arrest Lawsuit Filed

We also concur that a host of lawsuits against numerous authority will follow as a result of the unconstitutional detainment and arrest practices of the Waco Police. 
Eventually, years from now, as law school students confer for their first and second year classes, the Waco shooting at “Twin Peaks” will be used as a case study showcasing the how law enforcement can, and will, overreact. 
clendennen(Via Aging Rebel) The first of what will surely be a blizzard of federal civil rights lawsuits was filed this morning against the city of Waco and McLennan County, Texas.
Scimitar Motorcycle Club member Matthew Alan Clendennen (above) is also suing Waco police officer Manuel Chavez, who signed the criminal complaint against Clendennen and up to 177 other arrestees. Chavez’ criminal complaint states that “I hereby state upon my oath that I have reason to believe and do believe that heretofore, and before making and filing of this complaint, that on or about May 17, 2015 in McLennan County, Texas, the said Clendennen, Matthew Alan did then and there, as a member of a criminal street gang, commit or conspire to commit murder, capital murder, or aggravated assault against the laws of the State.”
[…] The lawsuit notes that “the identical criminal complaint used in Plaintiff Matthew Alan Clendennen’s case was used to justify the arrest of more than 100 other individuals and only the names were changed in the various criminal complaints. The complaint alleges absolutely no individualized probable cause to establish that Plaintiff Matthew Alan Clendennen engaged in organized criminal activity (more…)

They Are Free To Travel On Monday – The GITMO 5

The GITMO 5 will be free to travel the world on Monday; their year in Qatar completed.
The primary aspect the media avoids discussing, is how President Obama violated the law with the release by not notifying congress in advance. 

The Pentagon was found to have “violated” the 2014 Department of Defense Appropriations Act “when it transferred five individuals detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the nation of Qatar without providing at least 30 days notice to certain congressional committees,” according to the report.

Now, a year has passed, Sgt.  Bergdahl has been charged with desertion, and the GITMO terrorists are almost free.
Gitmo detainees released 2
WASHINGTON DC – Five senior Taliban leaders released last year from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl could move freely around the world next week as their one-year travel ban expires.
The five detainees were sent to Qatar where government officials agreed to monitor their activities and prevent them from traveling out of the country under the terms of the May 2014 exchange. Bergdahl, who had been held captive by the Taliban for nearly five years after walking away from his Army post in Afghanistan, was released to the U.S. military.
He recently was charged with desertion. (more…)

Marilyn Mosby Sticking To "Hacker Claim" For Her Racist Cop-Hating Social Media Display – But Few Are Buying It…

Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller followed up with the Baltimore State Attorney’s Office to see if they are continuing the Dindu Nuffin claim, they are:

marilyn mosby 7The Daily Caller – Despite growing skepticism that her personal Twitter account was hacked by someone who randomly “favorited” two controversial tweets, the office of Baltimore City state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby is sticking to its story.
