(Via YNet) Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that he doesn’t support the Palestinian-led “boycott, divest, sanction” campaign against Israel but said products made in Palestinian territories should be clearly labeled so buyers can make a choice about them.
Carter told The Associated Press in an interview that he and the other retired senior leaders known as the “Elders” recently discussed the economic pressure campaign against Israeli presence in the West Bank. The Elders group was formed by Nelson Mandela in 2007, and includes senior and retired leaders who work together on peace-building and humanitarian initiatives.
“We decided not to publicly endorse any kind of embargo, or so forth, against Israeli invasion, or occupying troops in Palestine,” Carter said.

The shear scope of this (17 separate attacks) might begin to reach sunlight over the course of the next several days.  However, the immediately alarming aspect is the Police admitting they were totally unprepared to control the mayhem which took place.  (I’ll drop as many video’s below as I can find)

LOUISVILLE – LMPD officers responded to numerous calls between 7:45 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Saturday night involving a large group of teenagers.
According to police, around 200 teenagers were gathered at the Big Four Bridge when 12 people started assaulting and robbing a 13-year-old girl. When an adult male tried to intervene, the group turned on him.
Once police were called to the scene, officers dispersed the large group of teens.
Officials say that’s when calls began streaming in for random violent acts and disorderly conduct throughout downtown.

Temple University is a North Philadelphia University (Broad Street) totally surrounded by black neighborhoods. If you are a white person -and you go one block “off campus”- you might as well be in Mogadishu. Temple University has its own armed police force comprised of around 300 heavily weaponized and armed patrolling officers.
Yes, it’s that bad; well, actually worse.
The Philadelphia media avoid discussions of race for both victim and attackers.
PHILADELPHIA – A female Temple University student is vowing to return to class despite being unable to chew even the softest of foods after a gang of “children” smashed her in the face with a brick Friday night.

The 19-year-old woman, who has declined to be identified, was walking with her boyfriend just off campus when a group of about 10 children began taunting them – they were followed for a block until the vicious assault that left her with dislocated teeth and a fractured jaw.

The Malaysian authorities are seemingly incapable of confronting the severity of the issues which would surround the disappearance of flight 370.    Western media, trapped inside the zone of political correctness, are unwilling to dig through the obfuscation.

Islam and Radical Muslim issues around a hijacking are far too disconcerting for the central Asian authorities to confront.   They just don’t want *that* conversation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — It was the unwelcome, anguishing news that families of the missing had dreaded, and when they heard it from Malaysia’s prime minister Monday night there were shrieks and intense heartbreak: The missing Malaysian Airlines flight whose fate was a mystery that consumed the world had crashed into a remote corner of the Indian Ocean.

The news, based on fresh evidence gleaned from an unprecedented analysis of satellite data, meant it was all but impossible that any of the 239 passengers and crew on board the jetliner could have survived.

The “Human Tissue Authority” is an actual healthcare agency within the UK health authority.  They are concerned that dead people are burned to generate electricity – Well, actually, they are more concerned that non-dead people have found out….

ENGLAND – The bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated as clinical waste, with some even used to heat hospitals, an investigation has found.
Ten NHS (National Health Service) trusts have admitted burning foetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in ‘waste-to-energy’ plants which generate power for heat.

CNN was previously outed by their own producers for accepting payments from foreign governments to shape their television coverage.   In this report CNN is caught again manipulating news coverage to assist a government – this time Venezuela. 

It should be noted that in all of the examples of CNN accepting payments – they only actually manipulate/delete coverage, or prop up regimes who support leftist ideologies.  

(Via Newsbusters) […] it was a drone camera whose video corrected the false impression left by a CNN en Español report that there was somehow an equivalency in the size of competing demonstrations on Saturday in Caracas, Venezuela. As Daniel Duquenal of Venezuela News and Views complained, the CNN en Español report by Guillermo Arduino gave only closeup shots of competing Chavista and opposition demonstrations.
The YouTube ID of 6Yn1qcSphBQ?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
However, the drone eye in the sky revealed the vast panoply of the opposition demonstration that seemed to number in the hundreds of thousands. Here is the post by Duequenal explaining why he was so irked by the CNN en Español report: (more…)

It’s no secret big secret that Michelle and Barack Obama are fans of Mao (except for the lo-fo voter).   The Obama’s even have Mao Christmas Ornaments on their ‘holiday tree’.  But apparently the Chinese government think the admiration is something they need to hide from everyone else.

CHINA – According to a pool reporter who was at the Great Wall of China for Michelle Obama’s visit there today, “Chinese authorities made sure, for a day, that Mutianyu [a section of the Great Wall] was visibly free of Obama-Mao t-shirts.” For $60, however, a merchant told the pool reporter that she’d sell him one of those t-shirts.

Here’s the relevant part of the pool report:
After taking the gondola back down to the parking lot, several reporters fanned out and stopped at t-shirt stalls to investigate a tip — that merchants had been told to temporarily suspend sales of t-shirts that show President Obama in a Mao hat. (more…)

It’s important, as you absorb this story, to understand the structural difference in England vs. the U.S. around the terms “public” and “private” schools.   Publically funded schools are more difficult to attend and hold a higher academic standing.   Students compete to get into the best public secondary schools;  intelligence tests, aptitude batteries and personal interviews are needed to gain entry to the higher academic public schools.

ENGLAND – The Birmingham school at the center of an alleged campaign of “Islamisation” by Muslim radicals is to be placed in “special measures” by the Government’s education watchdog in a move that could see its head teacher and governors removed.
Park View, previously rated “outstanding” by Ofsted, will be downgraded to “inadequate”, the lowest possible score, in the category of leadership and management, senior education sources said.
This enables Ofsted to place the school in special measures, allowing the watchdog, if it wishes, to remove the school’s entire leadership. (more…)

Grifting As A Profession

(PJ Tatler) Here’s a question I’ll bet nobody ever asked Jay Carney at a White House press briefing: Why does Michelle Obama’s mother live at the White House at taxpayer expense?
(If someone has asked, please send link for me to stand corrected.)

Melowese Richardson was a poll worker who voted twice for Obama under her own name  in 2012, she also voted three times for her comatose sister.   She admitted to intentional violations of election law, she was convicted of voter fraud – and last week she was heralded by Al Sharpton and Democrats as a role model to be emulated..

OHIO – A Hamilton County poll worker who has been held up nationally as an example of voter fraud took the stage at a local voting rights rally – outraging Republicans and dismaying even top local Democrats.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, keynote speaker at Thursday’s rally to kick-off the campaign for an Ohio Voters’ Bill of Rights Ohio Constitutional amendment, even hugged Melowese Richardson.
Richardson, a Democrat, was convicted of voter fraud after using her position as poll worker to vote more than once in the 2012 presidential election. She got a five year prison term, but was released earlier this month after local Democratic activists pressed for a fairer term. (more…)
