In an expression of logic that can only come from the mind of Al Sharpton – he expressed the following perspective:

“The intent to prove that Zimmerman did it because of his race, that is the legal threshold. Unless we change that legislation, we end up where we are in terms of the Trayvon Martin case”. (link)

And there you have the actual view.

Federal law defines hate crime as a crime carried out because of “race”. Sharpton wants to remove the hurdle of “racial intent”; in essence changing the definition so that any crime committed by a non-black, against a black person, can be considered a federal crime.

Think about that for a moment.

Five days ago CNN’s Evan Perez wrote an exclusive story on CNN highlighting a 2015 DHS Sovereign Citizen report. Part of the CNN storyline stated the DHS report was alarmingly concerned with “right-wing” extremist groups.

You can see how the CNN analysis was framed by looking at this screenshot:

Within the CNN analysis they claim serious threats:

[…] ”from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS”.

Except, there’s something very divergent – The actual report does not claim that the threat to police is growing, it does not conflate sovereigns with other anti-government groups, it makes no broad claims about terror on the right,  and it does not compare the sovereigns to ISIS or to any other foreign terrorists.

There is absolutely nothing in the report to suggest such an interpretation.  Heck, the words “right-wing” do not even show up in the report anywhere. (more…)

As previously mentioned, there is a growing body of evidence reflecting the next strategy in the psychological operations being used by ISIS.  Essentially, the chatter is claiming that the captured Christian hostages, the Assyrians’, were specifically taken so that ISIS could put together a message for U.S. President Barack Obama.

It is difficult to know how much credibility to assign to these claims.   There is also a growing conversation about how Obama’s refusal to identify the religious motivation of  ISIS could also be driving the jihadists to intensify their ‘religious targeting’ in an effort to make Western Leaders (who refuse to identify the authentic Islam behavior of ISIS) seem like they are foolish, weak and afraid.

SYRIA – ISIS is clearly feeling the pain after weeks of intense air strikes against it by the U.S.- led coalition fighting the spread of the terrorist organization in the Middle East.

Employing its familiar tactics, the Islamic State is now threatening to execute the 150 Assyrian Christians they have taken hostage in Syria.

Even while making the arrests, of suspected terrorists, the federal authorities maintain the air of political correctness:

“As alleged, the defendants looked to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant by flying to Turkey in a vain attempt to evade detection. And one of the defendants was prepared to commit acts of terror here —in America— if he could not travel, to include killing FBI agents.

The defendants violated the true tenants of their faith in pursuit of their radical, violent agenda. We rely on help from the community, the public, and religious leaders to be mindful of those who could be radicalized. We cannot do this alone,”….

Obviously the same sensitive definitions would not be allowed if the pesky jihadists were Amish…. so sayeth FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Rodriguez. (more…)

Of course she does, because just like the rest of the ideological race-baiting community, any violations of the Safari Park rules are simply not allowed.

(Via Campus Reform) MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry said Monday that she hoped that Trayvon Martin “whooped the shit out of George Zimmerman.”

Harris-Perry’s remarks came Monday while speaking during Cornell University’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Lecture.

The event, which was first reported by The Cornell Review, was titled “We Can’t Breathe: The Continuing Consequences of Inequality,” and was meant to serve “as a thought-provoking reflection on contemporary race relations and the role the teachings of Dr. King should play today,” according to the Review.

Following on the heels of Democrat Senators Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin, Susan Rice states the White House considers the visit by Benjamin Netanyahu to be “destructive”:

(Via HuffPo) Susan Rice, President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned speech in front of a joint session of Congress will be “destructive” to U.S.-Israel relations.

“What has happened over the last several weeks, by virtue of the invitation that was issued by the Speaker [John Boehner] and the acceptance of it by Prime Minister Netanyahu two weeks in advance of his election, is that on both sides, there has now been injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it’s destructive of the fabric of the relationship,” Rice told PBS’ Charlie Rose.

Things are not as they seem in the reports of these dialogues and communiques. First here’s the letter sent by Democrat Senators Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin (read it carefully):

@TheLastRefuge2 "Nice place you got there, Bibi. Be a shame if something happened to it, ya know whaddimean?"

And did you catch the actual false framework embedded in the construct?

…”the invitation you received from House Speaker Boehner … was sent without consultation with the White House or Democratic leadership”….

Nonsense. That’s a bunch of baloney already revealed by Boehner and Netanyahu.  The White House was notified; they chose not to respond or discuss the topic because they wanted to create a divisive talking point.

So is it any wonder why Benjamin Netanyahu would refuse to meet with two bald-faced liars who wrote him an openly political letter filled with those lies? (more…)

While I’m sure this provides little ease for George Zimmerman at least it removes one of the various swords of Damocles hovering over his every move.

UPDATE 2:00pm – Official Federal Department of Justice Announcement:

Federal Officials Close Investigation Into Death of Trayvon Martin

The Justice Department announced today that the independent federal investigation found insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman for the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida.

Prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, officials from the FBI, and the Justice Department’s Community Relations Service met today with Martin’s family and their representatives to inform them of the findings of the investigation and the decision.

“The death of Trayvon Martin was a devastating tragedy. It shook an entire community, drew the attention of millions across the nation, and sparked a painful but necessary dialogue throughout the country,” said Attorney General Eric Holder.

“Though a comprehensive investigation found that the high standard for a federal hate crime prosecution cannot be met under the circumstances here, this young man’s premature death necessitates that we continue the dialogue and be unafraid of confronting the issues and tensions his passing brought to the surface. We, as a nation, must take concrete steps to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.” (more…)

Okay, I admit I have never taken the time to watch or listen to Lady Gaga.  All I knew about her (until this week) was her weird costumes, on-stage antics, her LGBT advocacy etc.  Maybe a Madonna wannabe. In other words, I didn’t think she had anything to offer that I would want to buy.

Benjamin Crump the family legal representative from: The Martin Lee Anderson case (2006); The Trayvon Martin shooting (2012); The Kendrick Johnson case (2013); and the Mike Brown shooting (2014), is heading to Washington State to represent the family of, and financial justice for, Antonio Zambrano-Montes’ (2015).  BACKSTORY

Ben Crump is half of the legal team from Parks and Crump law firm. Each of the previously mentioned cases were complete fabrications of “wrongful death“.

The Martin Lee Anderson (2006) and Trayvon Martin (2012 – Zimmerman) cases actually became criminal cases due to the claims of Ben Crump and the developing ‘Scheme Team”.  However, neither case resulted in a successful criminal prosecution.

Despite the failure of the Anderson and Zimmerman cases criminally, the State of Florida, and Bay County, did pay Crump off to go away in the Anderson case (State $5 million, Bay County $2.4 million).  Likewise an insurance carrier for the Zimmerman Home Owners Association paid Crump for the same reason in 2013 ($1.6 million).
