The White House strategy to leak a far reaching executive office proposal (Fox News) appears to have been deliberately done to initiate angst in advance of a somewhat lesser, but still stretching, objective. By leaking an extreme case scenario the lesser proposal usurpation becomes diluted/moderated. President Obama is scheduled to give a prime time speech tomorrow night at 8pm with details saved for Friday in Las Vegas.

(Washington Post) President Obama will announce Thursday that he will use his executive authority to expand temporary protections to millions of undocumented immigrants, according to several individuals who have been briefed on the decision. Obama will travel to Las Vegas on the heels of that announcement to rally support for his initiative on Friday.
Congress will receive official details on the move Thursday, according to a senior Democratic Party official.
Even before final confirmation of the president’s plans, outside advocates began readying events to promote the administration’s immigration policy. (more…)
It was only a few days ago when we pondered the question “Where’s Jamal Bryant and the Baltimore AME Church network”? As if on cue, Jamal Bryant surfaces:
Pastor Bryant has sired five children from three different women, one child came to light as the result of a lawsuit for failing to provide child support. He acknowledged this one, a daughter, for the first time from the pulpit only after the court battle over child support payments surfaced. His trophy wife, model, and mother to three of his children, Gizelle Bryant, divorced him in 2008.

Vice-President Joe Biden announced the latest White House scheme, setting the table for a massive, economy-crushing influx of dependent people from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador – yet few were paying attention.
In what may well be intended as the immigration knockout blow called “In-Country Refugee/Parole Program for Minors in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras With Parents Lawfully Present in the United States” (link).
When you drill down through the legalese presented in the summary announcement you find some interesting aspects to this new program: (more…)
Key emphasis: the way the story is delivered is psy-ops, not the facts of the event itself. A key distinction missed by most.
The intent of psy-ops is to influence opinion, subsequently influencing behavior, with a concerted effort of factual twisting to frame a specific version of events. Conservatives absolutely suck at spotting the use of this tactical messaging method, and consistently fall for it.
It would take a long thesis to explain why conservatively minded people fall for the manipulative use of psychological operations, and liberals do not. In summary it would come down to conservatives, holding an ideology based on truthful principles, subsequently taking things at face value – whereas Liberal Marxists are comfortable inside a messaging system structurally based on falsehoods and lies, so they are always untrusting.
This is also why progressives ideologies advance, and conservatives stand watching the aftermath with jaw agape.
Psy-ops operations are like cognitive land mines and should be treated as such. A soldier has to train him/herself to deal with real landmines; likewise you too need to train yourself to spot them when they appear. (more…)
(Via The Hill) Legislation approving construction of the Keystone XL pipeline failed in the Senate on Tuesday, delivering what could be a fatal blow to Sen. Mary Landrieu’s reelection campaign.
The vote was still going on at 6:18 p.m., but 41 senators had voted against passage, enough to defeat the bill. Landrieu and other Keystone proponents needed a supermajority of 60 votes for final passage — and didn’t get there despite Landrieu’s week-long battle to win over members of her conference.
The vote itself was a gift to Landrieu, who has long sought approval of the pipeline as a project that would bring jobs to her state.
Even if the legislation had cleared the Senate, it faced a near certain veto from President Obama. (read more)

We have outlined this connection before, including highlighting how the Anonymous OpFerguson group is actually a guy working from his computer in Pakistan. It is a positive step to see MSM also recognize the connections. Many of the #Ferguson protesting antagonists, in and around Saint Louis, are wannabe Jihadists.
SAINT LOUIS – Muslim groups have stepped up efforts to co-opt protests over the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., with a drive to equate the teen’s death to the death of a radical Islamist shot during an FBI raid in 2009, a Washington-based security watchdog group is warning.
Using social media, conference calling and traditional outreach methods, leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are portraying Brown and Detroit mosque leader Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah as African-American victims of police targeting, according to the Washington-based Center for Security Policy (CSP).
In a conference call organized by CAIR-linked “Muslims for Ferguson, a CAIR official called Abdullah a “Shaheed,” or martyr, and said both he and Brown were victims of a national security apparatus that had “completely gone wild” and engaged in “demonizing and criminalizing Muslims.” (more…)
Ms. Hickox, the insufferable, delicate, ‘all about me’ wallflower, who returned to the U.S. then gave everyone the middle finger when asked to self-quarantine, has been very vocal. She wrote:
“I never had Ebola. I never had symptoms of Ebola. I tested negative for Ebola the first night I stayed in New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s private prison in Newark. I am now past the incubation period – meaning that I will not develop symptoms of Ebola.
I never had Ebola, so please stop calling me “the Ebola Nurse” – now!”
Via Canada Globe and Mail – […] The woman [EBOLA NURSE] who became known in news headlines as “The Ebola Nurse” is now free to move around, after clearing the 21-day virus-free period. She [EBOLA NURSE] was interviewed this week as she [EBOLA NURSE] packed a trailer for her move across the state of Maine, to Freeport. (more…)
With a Saint Louis Grand Jury decision “imminent” it’s valuable today to go back and reference how the entire controversy started:
When we first began digging in to the Mike Brown story something odd was immediately identifiable. The individual witness statements, when compared over time, were case studies in the evolution of self-contradiction.
But why ?
It’s generally a true statement that eye witnesses testimonials can often be unreliable; but the statements of the Canfield Greens apartment complex who immediately hit the New York media circuit were beyond unreliable – they were actually contradicting themselves from show to show, often within hours.
A little research into the shooting aftermath and things began to fall into place.
The primary witnesses used to create what we’ll call ‘the media narrative’ were and are: Dorian Johnson, Piaget Crenshaw, and Tiffany Mitchell.
A few days later another witness, Michael Brady, surfaced. However, Brady didn’t exactly follow the same script – and we soon discovered why. (more…)
