Re-posted for recoverydotgod but perhaps many people will also benefit from revisiting.
RE-POST:  Perhaps this update is best contrasted against the concept of “Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon“. The associations highlighted explain how Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s dad, was put into contact with Benjamin Crump, the proverbial head of the “scheme team”, and along the way the cast of characters is quite interesting.
As well as one seeking political office in Miami-Dade.

Mr. Trayvon Martin was not the only person creating a well, shall we say, “colorful“, on-line and in-real-life social style. Indeed, the new age social media platform(s), in all their unintended varieties, provide an odd connectivity to even the most embarrassingly public of profiles. Especially when running for political office 😉
Here is an odd story of association that stems from within this Reuters article: (more…)

Despite cobbling together a coalition consisting of just about every minority, this administration is clearly signaling its desperation with this latest trial balloon:  mandatory voting.  Dear Leader already knows you and I will crawl on hands and knees through broken glass to make it to the voting booths, but he’s obviously not so sure he can get his voters to show up.  Just how is he planning to enforce mandatory voting?  Will he make receiving welfare payments, or your food stamp allotment contingent on proof of voting?  I bet there’s another executive order coming down the pike.

The Right Scoop just *updated* their blog with this comment:  “I think I blew it with this one. The tactic referred to by Carney in his press conference yesterday and referenced in my video below is gun-walking, not gun-running. I mistakenly conflated the two of them. Gun-Walking to be clear is the weapons we allowed into Mexico that were never traced – the 2k weapons that turned up into the hands of the Cartel, one of which was used in Brian Terry’s death.
In the video below they are referring to gun-running which did start under the Bush admin. Now both you and I know that the announcement in March 2009 was likely the beginning of Fast and Furious under the guise of Project GunRunner. But the video below doesn’t prove that and thus I have deleted it.
The only question that remains in my mind, and it’s a big one, is how in the world can Jay Carney and the White House say gun-walking started under the Bush administration without supplying proof that it did? No, we all know it didn’t start under the Bush administration or else they’d release the documents and vindicate themselves.  In any event, I’ll try harder to not conflate these two in the future.”

The fact that this insufferable little crapweasel took the podium yesterday and continued to lie to our faces is beyond belief.  How…let me repeat….how can he continue to assert Holder put an end to something Holder himself says he didn’t even know about?  We’ve gotten to the point with this administration where the spoken word means absolutely nothing.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney maintained several times yesterday that gun-running was not generated out of Washington DC and when A.G. Eric Holder found out about the tactic of gun-running, he stopped it. But this is simply not true. Deputy Attorney General David Ogden at a news conference in March of 2009 clearly associates A.G. Holder and the Obama administration with the tactic of gun-running:

For those of you who will contest this clip is out of context, go watch the entire 30 min news conference at C-SPAN.

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

Any attempt to justify the firing of Sanford Police Chief, Bill Lee, in any form other than admitting it to be self-serving political interest, and short-sighted racist appeasement, is political correctness run amok.     You can’t pick up that turd by the clean end, period.
If you have followed this case, and actually read the accompanying research, you would admit as such with intellectual, albeit uncomfortable, honesty.  Chief Lee is being cast aside, blamed, ridiculed, obfuscated and sacrificed in the same manner, by the same people, for the exact same reason, as those who attack George Zimmerman himself.

We have officially entered a parallel universe. This would be comical if two border agents were not dead because of the insufferable stupidity of the DOJ and now President Obama’s blind protectionism of his guy Eric Holder.
Charlie Rangel claims Obama is using executive privilege to “Protect the Constitution“.

Please accept this in the spirit of intent: Any person(s), regardless of party affiliation, who will attempt to convey a message that President Obama, is in some manner or form, protecting the constitution, by lying, is an idiot.

Understand How Significant This Is

FLASHBACK – in October 2011 Obama specifically stated he was not informed of the Department of Justice operation known as Fast and Furious.

There was no ambiguity in this claim from President Obama circa October 6th 2011. He specifically and with unambiguous specificity stated he was unaware of the Fast and Furious operation (see video above).   Yet today, in an effort to protect Eric Holder, President Obama invokes executive privilege.

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama has granted an 11th-hour request by Attorney General Eric Holder to exert executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents, a last-minute maneuver that appears unlikely to head off a contempt vote against Holder by Republicans in the House.

Which begs the obvious question the media will not challenge the President on:

How can President Obama possibly assert executive privilege over internal deliberations he has previously claimed didn’t exist?

Wow, what a time to be an American

Russian President Vladimir Putin laughs uncontrollably at the weak little girly man called Barack. 
Back in October 2007 Barack Obama promised as president he would make the United States defenseless.

“I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it. Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems. And I will institute an independent “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending. Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.”

Now Barack Obama is going to unilaterally cut US nukes. (more…)

WARNING – If you are prone to big picture avoidance, or if intellectual honesty makes you uncomfortable, this is not the thread for you.
However, if you are open-minded, well versed in the consequential multi-dimensional politics of our time, and aware that little – if anything – ever happens in the abstract, then perhaps you might enjoy digging further.
There is a big picture here;  a big uncomfortable picture, and in fairness to everyone it needs to be discussed in the brightest sunlight.
To begin I will acknowledge that some TreeHouse members are/were slightly or perhaps even more than moderately annoyed at the level of focus placed upon the Trayvon Martin case by our refuge.  Indeed, it is has been a quite extensive and time-consuming endeavor, not by mere happenstance or by dismissive intention, but more by necessity.

Father’s Day Irony

Legacy Left Race-Baiter Version:   Al Sharpton released a statement calling Rodney King ” a symbol of civil rights and he represented the anti-police brutality and anti-racial profiling movement of our time,”  Additionaly, Sharpton said of King  “History will record that it was Rodney King’s beating and his actions that made America deal with the excessive misconduct of law enforcement.”

Legacy Left Media Version –   Rodney King, the man who was at the center of the infamous Los Angeles riots, was found dead this morning, TMZ has reported. He was 47. (more…)
