We could not help but notice something absent from the NATO summit being held in Wales this year.
Apparently the U.K. Security Team has figured out a way to keep the pesky professional anarchists away from the conference.

They call it a “Ring of Steel”

(Via Breitbart) It took the Washington Post 2,017 words and 59 paragraphs in a feature about Dorian Johnson, who initially said that his friend Michael Brown was shot in the back, to reveal that the federal government’s autopsy also reportedly did not find that to be the case.
As the Post noted in its profile of Dorian Johnson, Brown’s “body had been autopsied three times — once each by St. Louis County police, a pathologist hired by Brown’s family and federal authorities. All found that Brown had been shot at least six times, including twice in the head but not in the back.” The New York Times reported two weeks ago that the autopsy that the Brown family commissioned determined “that all the bullets were fired into his front.”
Johnson had initially told the media that Brown was struck in the back, giving rise the to the “hands up, don’t shoot” movement. Other witnesses, though, have indicated that Brown may have punched officer Darren Wilson, discharged his gun, and then charged at him again before the fatal shots. (more…)

Oh what a tangled web is weaved…. How is it possible for the DOJ to be investigating an agency they themselves have colluded with to target political opponents? 

(Via The Washington Post)  Congress had little opportunity to debate the Internal Revenue Service’s missing-e-mail controversy while on break during the past month, but lawmakers will have plenty to talk about when they return next week.
One question likely to come up is why the IRS wiped out Lois Lerner’s Blackberry shortly after congressional staffers interviewed the then-IRS official about suspected targeting of conservative groups.
So far, the IRS has provided no answer.
The issue came to light last month after U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered the IRS to explain its efforts to recover emails that went missing when the former official’s hard drive crashed in 2011. (more…)

Unfortunately such is the state of current affairs. A prominent Egyptian official is telling his constituency, and the world, the reason Egypt and U.S. relations are so poor is because President Obama and John Kerry demand the Severe Islamists be included in policy decisions.
Egypt categorically rejects the considerations of radical Islamic extremism, and will not bow to pressure from the United States to be more accommodating toward the radicals within the Muslim Brotherhood.
Fatah el-Sisi is going to be speaking to the U.N. General Assembly in New York on September 25th. I’m thinking that David Cameron and President Obama should be forced to sit in the front row and listen to a real leader who understands the extremist problem.

(EGYPT) Nabil Fahmy, the former Egyptian foreign minister and a previous ambassador to the US, said that relations between Cairo and Washington remain strained because of the US’s insistence of allowing Islamists to participate in the political process.
In an Egyptian television interview on Sunday evening, Fahmy said that “the Americans have not appropriately learned the lesson of dealing with terrorism” and that they “contacted us constantly in order to integrate streams of political Islam into the political process,” the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry al-Youm reported.
He added, however, that Egypt “pursued the will of the people” and did not give in to outside pressure. (more…)

Sharyl Attkisson discusses quizzically why the Obama administration is being so secretive about the locations of the “Unaccompanied Alien Children“:

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit says: 47,000 Illegal Alien Children are missing in the U.S.
No… No…. No…  No-one is MISSING. THEY NEVER EXISTED. EVER.
We began documenting two months ago the “border crisis” of unaccompanied alien children, UAC’s, was a pure ruse, a figment. Constructed simply to create the optics of crisis and support the demand for comprehensive immigration reform prior to the congressional recess. (more…)

Two weeks ago we tried, and failed, to openly reach out to “researchers” interested in the backstory of the “Big Mike” Brown shooting.
Just because the cat had her kittens in the oven, don’t make them biscuits.
From personal experience within the concentric circular maze that surrounds such a quest, we suspected, nay assured the outcome. It is significantly important to know what structural and political forces which comprise the cement, which builds the walls, which make the maze.
Running head strong into a very specific justice system, while waving a petition for sunlight allowance, will get you, well, nowhere but headed home with a headache.
But the wall builders will gladly accept a fee to allow your strike with the hammer – futile though it may be.
We did not pull the Trayvon Martin criminal records from the Miami-Dade School Police Department by going into the maze constructed by a similar ideological wall-builders: Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Police Chief Charles Hurley et al.
We tunneled under it. The truth takes extra digging – and the drone enabled CRS are always on alert.
So take this for what it’s worth: Saint Louis – Michael Brown was never found delinquent of the juvenile equivalents of any Class A or B felony charges, and was not facing any at the time he died, a court official said this morning at a hearing on whether his juvenile records should be released.

This is a subject of great familiarity to the Treehouse. It is not necessarily an Eric Holder / President Obama construct either.
According to EEO law it is unlawful to check the work authorization of any employment applicant, IF the screening has a disparate impact on a federally protected category of personage.  In reality the law, as applied, means you cannot check the employment eligibility of applicants if the screening creates disqualified applicants who are  disproportionately Latino (race discrimination); which they automatically will be.
Ergo -technically, and lawfully- you cannot screen applicants for residency or employment eligibility.   That is why fake documents are so easy for an illegal to use to gain employment; the employer is not allowed to check, or verify, their legitimacy.

(Via Daily Caller) A Texas catering business will pay the United States $26,400 for engaging in “citizenship-discrimination,” as part of a settlement with the Justice Department announced Tuesday.
Culinaire International unlawfully discriminated against employees based on their citizenship status, the Justice Department claimed, because it required non-citizen employees to provide extra proof of their right to work in the United States. (more…)

ISIS is claiming this hostage to be a British citizen named David Cawthorne Haines. According to reports of the same ISIS video containing footage of the second U.S. journalist, Steven Scotloff, being killed; ISIS is claiming the next hostage will be Mr. Cawthorne Haines.

Again we extend our deepest prayers toward all the family and friends of these men held captive by such evil manifested.   We pray for comfort toward those grieving, and purposeful strength for those now consumed with worry.
We also pray for our leaders; so they may see clearly what confronts them; so they may find clarity of purpose;  so they may accept their role, responsibility and deliver the full measure of consequence upon those who would proclaim such evil intentions.
A loving God will triumph.

(Via The Examiner ) The Conservative Treehouse has done yeoman’s work exposing the Obama administration’s many machinations over the manufactured border crisis. In a report published at Accuracy in Media earlier this month, I described how the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program of the Department of Health and Human Services has exploded, spending almost $700 million so far this year, more than double that of 2013. Much of the information described in that report was initially dug up by the Treehouse.
As we described in the report, many of these “children” were not in fact children, but young men and women, many of whom were gang members or being actively recruited by gangs. Largely unreported were the 200,000 plus illegal alien families accompanying these youths. The Treehouse has now uncovered evidence of deliberate manipulation of the UAC numbers conducted by the Obama administration. (more…)

With the anniversary of September 11th 2012 Soon Upon Us – By Request, Here’s The Full Benghazi Brief

Grab a cup of coffee because it’s a long read with over 350 citations and reference source links for conformational material. We think you’ll get hooked and find 95% of your Benghazi questions answered. And if you can find a factual flaw I’ll buy the coffee.. SD

We know from the Bret Baier interview with Hillary Clinton that she was physically located at her 7th floor office in Washington DC on the night of the attack. Unfortunately we also know during the November 2012 Thanksgiving holiday a mysterious fire took place in that building. Well, actually directly above her exact office – cause undetermined.
A “fire” which preceded an unfortunate slip and fall for the Secretary, resulting in a concussion, which led to the discovery of a blood clot, that ultimately delayed her congressional testimony before a Senate Hearing into the events of the night in question.
We know the Libyan uprising began on February 10th of 2011, and we also know that sometime around the end of February 2011 President Obama signed a presidential directive authorizing the State Dept and CIA to begin a covert operation to arm the Libyan “rebels”.
We also know of a Second Presidential Finding Memo authorizing additional CIA covert action in 2012, this time in Syria. However, unlike the 2011 Libyan operation we do not know the operational name of the second action in 2012 Syria.
We know the Libyan “rebels” were positioned in two strategic places. Benghazi, and the port city of Darnah, both located in Northeastern Libya.
We know this 2011 Libyan covert operation came to be known as “Operation Zero Footprint“, and fell under the military command authority of NATO not (important to repeat), NOT, the U.S. Military. (more…)
