Many observers speculated at the time the FEDS could not allow the appearance of the Militia to be the public impression of their decision not to follow through with the Bundy Roundup in Nevada.     

Several issues were concerning.    1.) The “Oath Keepers” within the police department were openly exposed as frauds, and to-a-man willing to go along with the federal agents.  2.) The appearance of the armed Militia groups instantly became a risk to the power of the armed federal agencies and “for hire” contractors who are used to unlimited hostile action against citizens without consequence.

Now This…. [Assistant Sheriff Joe] […]   Lombardo confirms that Metro developed a lot of intelligence about militia members who were present. Those who aimed their guns at officers will be dealt with.

“Yes, there will be consequences, definitely. That is unacceptable behavior. If we let it go, it will continue into the future,” Lombardo said.

Law enforcement sources told us that federal officials are preparing to move against Cliven Bundy, but they might wait months until things die down before making their move.

Metro Police could take separate action in response to the provocations they experienced in Bunkerville and may be working to identify particular suspects.  (full article)

When Libya erupted in *rebel* turmoil we were following the details closely because we quickly identified the ideology of the “rebels” as al-Qaeda.   
Over time the entire civil war became a conflict of Justice Minister Mustafa Abdel Jalil (the first defector and self proclaimed head of the rebels) vs. Kaddaffi. 

If it were not for Samantha Power, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton Kaddaffi would have won the internal war.    The misguided premise of R2P (Responsibility to Protect), a specific Samantha Power construct, is the excuse that was eventually used by the Obama administration to enter the foray and pick a side.  They chose the al-Qaeda “rebels”.
This commission report essentially encapsulates what we have previously outlined.   However, for some reason they totally avoid the mention of Justice Abdel Jalil.
BENGHAZI GATE – The Citizens Commission on Benghazi, a self-selected group of former top military officers, CIA insiders and think-tankers, declared Tuesday in Washington that a seven-month review of the deadly 2012 terrorist attack has determined that it could have been prevented – if the U.S. hadn’t been helping to arm al-Qaeda militias throughout Libya a year earlier.
‘The United States switched sides in the war on terror with what we did in Libya, knowingly facilitating the provision of weapons to known al-Qaeda militias and figures,’ Clare Lopez, a member of the commission and a former CIA officer, told MailOnline.
She blamed the Obama administration for failing to stop half of a $1 billion United Arab Emirates arms shipment from reaching al-Qaeda-linked militants. (more…)

[…] relatives of the accused men sat directly behind them in three rows. There were deep sighs, sobbing and muffled utterances of “liar” during the testimony. Some spectators were ejected by sheriff’s deputies.

DETROIT — Four men accused of punching and kicking a motorist who accidentally struck a 10-year-old Detroit boy were ordered Monday to stand trial on attempted murder charges, after a judge reviewed their statements to police and witnesses testified about the chaotic mob attack.

As Steve Utash continued to recover in a hospital bed, Judge Thomas Jackson found probable cause to move the case to trial in Wayne County Circuit Court.

Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey introduced statements to police from Latrez Cummings, 19, James Davis, 24, and Wonzey Saffold, 30, all acknowledging a role in the April 2 attack. They were ordered to trial, along with Bruce Wimbush Jr., 17, who waived the hearing.

Something optically devastating is looming on the Chicago skyline, and it looks remarkably like Detroit 2.0.

CNN has been running a network series “Chicago”.   They’ve been trying to frame an apologetic and sympathetic narrative around former White House Chief of Staff and current Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.     They couldn’t have picked a worse time to try and sell the propaganda. 
In what can only be called ‘grandiose irony’,  facts on the ground run counter to the CNN narrative.   So much so, that Chicago is becoming a parody of itself.   The educational system is collapsing with unions entrenched in budgetary battles demanding more and more graft while students fail at astonishing rates.   Constructs of society are collapsing and crime, violent crime, is increasing exponentially;  spurred on by violent gang activity, and it’s spreading.   
Easter weekend 44 people shot, 8 dead, and no-one is brave enough to actually discuss the root cause.   The politically correct talking points don’t let you dare point out the fatherless wild thugs running amuck.   Families who do believe in the strength of a two parent household are fleeing the metropolis for safer life elsewhere.  
Chicago, the self described home of President Obama, where he never visits, is dangerously close to becoming a political liability; and if there’s one thing this White House excels at – it’s controlling political risk.    Chicago is another petri-dish for the dangerous consequences of Democrat social engineering to gain publicity.
Subsequently….   HERE COME The FEDS !!  Or more accurately, HERE COME THE STORM TROOPERS !!
CHICAGO – The federal government is offering help to the city of Chicago in the fight to end violence in the streets. The special section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office will target drugs and guns.

CHIBOK, Nigeria — Some 234 girls are missing from the northeast Nigerian school attacked last week by Islamic extremists, significantly more than the 85 reported by education officials, parents told the state governor Monday.
The higher figure came out a week after the kidnappings when the Borno state governor insisted a military escort take him to the town. Parents told the governor that officials would not listen to them when they drew up their list of names of missing children and the total reached 234.
The discrepancy in the figures could not immediately be resolved. (more…)

Earlier in the day today the State Department was questioned about sending U.S. support to Ukraine.    In response State Dept. Spokewoman said:  “we are not going to get into a proxy war with Russia” [ergo we are not going to send arms or weaponry to the Ukraine government]  Yet Russia is acting specifically and intentionally with a proxy war mentality toward us.
When CBS’s Major Garrett questions President Obama about the rising tensions yet again Obama reflects a limp-wristed and disconnected response:

Nothing the Obama administration has done in his entire presidency reflects an actual accomplishment, ever.
As an example -and to give you context for what Putin references- here’s just a brief un-updated rundown of prior Obama statements on Iran. You decide for yourself: (more…)

You might remember the murder of Australian college baseball player and exchange student Chris Lane last year in Oklahoma.
A normally quiet weekend in the small southwestern Oklahoma town of Duncan was horribly interrupted last year, when a car carrying three teenagers pulled up behind a lone white male jogger.  The teens in the car fired on the jogger, Chris Lane, with a .22 caliber revolver, striking him in the back.  As horrified witnesses looked on, the jogger staggered and dropped to his knees as the car sped away.  He was pronounced dead at the scene by authorities.
James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, were charged with murder in the first degree.  The oldest member of the group, 17 year old Michael Jones, believed to be the driver of the vehicle, gave Duncan police a mind-boggling explanation for the crime: “We were bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.“

Yesterday a fourth suspect was arrested. (more…)

If Islamic terrorists took down a plane with 200 people -anywhere- it would lead the national news on every network.    But if Islamic terrorists take the same number of victims via a mass transit bus bomb, in an African country, it won’t even merit a passing glance….

ABUJA, Nigeria – Police say a blast at a busy bus station in the Nigerian capital has killed at least 71 people and injured 124.

(6:00pm EST) Not sure about what the details are that have been worked out – However, the confiscated cattle are being returned.    Local cowboys and gals can be seen in various live feeds assisting the Bundy Ranch in guiding them back upon the range.   It is being reported approximately 100 cattle died during the government roundup.

Several folks in the media are saying the Federal Bureau of Land Management is “withdrawing”.   I would caution anyone who thinks this would resemble a victory.  The feds don’t retreat – they reevaluate – they repurpose – they return.

The only reason the Feds are reevaluating this is because of the increased publicity, the growing organization of supporters, the size of the crowds, and the discussions of the relationship between the BLM, Senator Harry Reid, Crony Capitalism, Big Money Political Donors, the EPA, Chinese Industrialists and Yucca Valley.

This does not have anything to do with Turtles and Range Fees.

CALIFORNIA – The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department admitted that they mistakenly shot and killed a Good Samaritan who was trying to help his West Hollywood neighbor being held hostage at knifepoint earlier this week.

The L.A. Times reported that Winkler was trying to help his neighbor who was being held hostage.
When deputies arrived, a man “bleeding profusely from the neck” rushed out of the apartment with Winkler trailing behind him. Deputies were told the suspect was a white man wearing a black shirt.
Winkler fit the description.
