Tunisia was the origin of the Arab Spring – Since neighboring Libya fell into a state of civil war the radical islamists are now spreading around the North African Mediterranean.  In addition to attacking Western-friendly targets they are attempting to create additional crisis by crippling the regional economy.  Within crisis, ISIS inspired radicals thrive.

TUNISIA – Panicked tourists fled from a popular beach in Tunisia Friday as a gunman pulled an automatic rifle from under an umbrella and began shooting, killing 37 people, officials said.

The attacker, who was dressed in shorts, came from the beach hiding his Kalashnikov gun before spraying terrified tourists with bullets. People were told to run in a chaotic scene near a beach in Sousse, and many took refuge in hotel rooms after the gunfire erupted, Sky News said.

Tunisia’s Interior Ministry originally said there were two gunmen but later said they believed just one gunman acted alone, killing 37 people and wounding at least 36. The Health Ministry said the dead include Tunisians, Brits, Germans and Belgians.

The gunman reportedly entered the Hotel Imperial through the swimming pool area, shooting people as he went. He also threw an explosive, witnesses said. (more…)

( Via Fox News ) A law enforcement source today confirmed to Fox News that escaped convict Richard Matt has been shot and killed by police.

Matt is one of two prison inmates who escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y.  Matt’s counterpart David Sweat is still on the run.  Authorities have been pursuing the two escaped killers for 21 days.

The Detroit police Chief broke the rules of the current narrative.  He was supposed to say the twelve people shot were attacked by flags, it’s the flags’ fault, it has to be the flags….  The professional activists are very angry at the police chief now.

DETROIT, MI — Detroit Police Chief James Craig agitated activists by calling those involved in shooting a dozen people Saturday, one who died, “urban terrorists.”

“We want to make it very much known that the young people who are causing the violence in our community are not terrorists,” said the Rev. Charles Williams, president of the Detroit National Action Network, a civil rights group founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton. “They are not urban terrorists, they are the products of bad urban policy.

“They are products of bad education policy, where our young people are used as products, versus being educated. They are products of the fact that you are dealing with a city with high poverty numbers, so to relate these young people as terrorists is wrong.”

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A hip hop concert at The House of Blues led to a massive brawl in downtown Dallas Sunday night.

We are responding to a large crowd disturbance. It is an ongoing situation.

This evening, the Dallas Police Department unleashed crowd control support after fights broke out over cheap tickets. Artist J. Cole had initially offered a surprise $1 concert during his “Dollar And A Dream”.

Police say that over 600 took to the streets — a few involved in physical altercations — causing part of the area to shut down until further notice. Street closures include Lamar, Houston, and Victory streets (more…)

Meet The Press aired a discussion story featuring New York prison inmates discussing the regret they carry for using guns.  The actual piece is very powerful, but almost immediately the politically correct crowd jumped into action because the prison inmates were black.

It appears from the lead-in, and the following conversation, the NBC panel was already hyper-sensitive and fraught with precursory guilt about airing the video.  Watch (it might not be available long):

Police do not know the reason for the shooting, and are still investigating.

At least three of the victims who were shot were women, ages 30, 45, and 26.  Asst. Chief Steve Dolunt said it’s a miracle no kids were shot as many were present during the shooting. (more…)

The New York Times and the Daily Mail are both reporting the South Carolina mass murderer Dylann Roof wrote a 2,500 word manifesto on a website called TheLastRhodesian.com.    There are also pictures on the website reported to show Dylann Root burning and spitting on U.S. flags.

I have visited the site and read his nonsense, however I have not verified the pictures are there, nor viewed the content of those pictures, because it requires a zip.file download to view them and I’m not downloading sketchy content based on the NYT or Daily Mail.

We’ll take their word for it, or if you want to see it yourself you can here.

What immediately jumps out, noted in both pictures and words, is that Dylann Roof has an almost identical set of racial values as Valdosta State University flag burner and similarly self-proclaimed racist, Eric Sheppard Jr.

Root and Sheppard are the mirror image of each other.  One is white, the other is black, but their ideology about race is as identical as it is diametrically opposite.

Eric Sheppard Jr. also produced a manifesto last month, and a video diatribe, which was sent to, and published by, the Valdosta Daily Times when Sheppard was on the run from law enforcement.

Previously the Valdosta Daily Times printed the full Sheppard Manifesto.

In order to compare views from both Roof and Sheppard for yourself, and not read the manifesto through the prism of the presenting media ideology describing it, here is Dylan Roof’s Manifesto in full – you can compare Sheppard to Roof. (more…)

Consider this a MUST READ if you are concerned about abusive government and the absolute elimination of free speech and personal liberty.

(Reason) For the past two weeks, Reason, a magazine dedicated to “Free Minds and Free Markets,” has been barred by an order from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York from speaking publicly about a grand jury subpoena that court sent to Reason.com.

The subpoena demanded the records of six people who left hyperbolic comments at the website about the federal judge who oversaw the controversial conviction of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. Shortly after the subpoena was issued, the government issued a gag order prohibiting Reason not only from discussing the matter but even acknowledging the existence of the subpoena or the gag order itself. As a wide variety of media outlets have noted, such actions on the part of the government are not only fundamentally misguided and misdirected, they have a tangible chilling effect on free expression by commenters and publications alike.

Yesterday, after preparing an extensive legal brief, Reason asked the US Attorney’s Office to join with it in asking that the gag order – now moot and clearly an unconstitutional prior restraint – be lifted. This morning, the US Attorney’s Office asked the Court to vacate the order, which it did. We are free to tell the story for the first time.  (read more)

There is a subtle, or not (if you follow closely), narrative being constructed by West Wing script writers.  The purpose is to use the Charleston shooting emotion as a race-based  protective membrane, shielding President Obama from his visible policy failures.

[Example 1: Highlighting Joe Wilson as the congressman from the district that encompasses Charleston. Example 2: Highlighting people call POTUS an “idiot”.]  

(Via Washington Examiner) – He has 18 months left to fulfill his “Yes we can” agenda, but President Obama is frustratingly finding that his supporters have already forgotten what he’s done and even think he’s an “idiot” for not making good on his promise to fix Washington.

In a candid fundraising speech at actor Tyler Perry’s Santa Monica, Calif., home Thursday night, the president expressed his own frustration at not scoring more wins in his two terms, but also aired distress at how quickly some of have forgotten his achievements.

“I got a letter a while back from a gentleman living in Colorado, and clearly an intelligent guy, and he had taken a lot of time to write this letter. And he said, you know, I voted for you twice, but I’m feeling disillusioned,’” Obama said. (more…)
