USA TODAY – America’s ruling class has been experiencing more pushback than usual lately. It just might be a harbinger of things to come.

First, in response to widespread protests last week, the Department of Homeland Security canceled plans to build a nationwide license plate database. Many local police departments already use license-plate readers that track every car as it passes traffic signals or pole-mounted cameras. Specially equipped police cars even track cars parked on the street or even in driveways.

The DHS put out a bid request for a system that would have gone national, letting the federal government track millions of people’s comings and goings just as it tracks data about every phone call we make. But the proposal was suddenly withdrawn last week, with the unconvincing explanation that it was all a mistake. I’m inclined to agree with TechDirt’s Tim Cushing, who wrote: “The most plausible explanation is that someone up top at the DHS or ICE suddenly realized that publicly calling for bids on a nationwide surveillance system while nationwide surveillance systems are being hotly debated was … a horrible idea.” (more…)

A white Dayton Ohio bus driver was fixing a bus when a group of three black teens savagely attacked him in their attempt to gain gang membership.

Rickey Wagoner (pictured left),  was shot multiple times in the chest, and hip.

Wagoner described the attackers as young black males, likely in their late teens. He said they fled in a dark-colored 1990s model Ford. No arrests have been made.

According to a police report, Wagoner told investigators he believed the shooting may have been a gang initiation. He said he heard one of the suspects tell another to kill him “if you want to be all the way in the club.”  (full story link)

A newly purchased bible in his chest pocket stopped the two deadly bullets aimed at his heart.

In Austin Texas a woman was jogging.  Police claim she J-walked while jogging so they forcibly stopped her, handcuffed her and demanded id.

She did not have id in her skimpy jogging outfit, so they arrested her for “failure to identify”.

The Texas cops put her in a police car, took her to jail, booked her, mug shot, finger-prints etc., for J-walking and jogging without identification.

A guy across the street saw the whole thing and thought it was ridiculous.  He recorded the incident and took pictures.

Then the general public began using social media to express their outrage.

Unfazed by the action of his police officers, and profoundly unapologetic, the Austin Police Chief, Art Acevedo, told the media the jogger should be grateful the Austin Police Dept didn’t rape her.

MUST WATCH VIDEO:    and I do mean watch the whole thing….

Note the Police Officer comment @6:50:   “Now, you had just better get back in your vehicle, and fucking leave“…

Unlike a lot of u-tube videos showing incredibly abusive police power, this one stays directly and concisely on point.   Excellent presentation.

This expose’ goes deep in the woods on the Zimmerman case back- story of malicious prosecution.

However, in order to understand what’s going on, as well as what’s at stake, here is a not-so-brief summary and then full outline.

Summary: During the pre-trial events leading up to the State of Florida v. George Zimmerman an intentional manipulation of evidence was discovered.

In essence Trayvon Martin’s cell phone contained information which was not given to the defense team, a clear Brady violation surrounding the rules of open trial discovery. Some of the data on the phone was very damaging to the false presentation of Trayvon Martin’s background.

The data included text conversations between Trayvon and his Dad, Tracy (aka “Fruit”), about buying guns. Some data included pictures of Trayvon Martin smoking marijuana and posing with handguns.

There were many pictures on the phone which the State of Florida did not want the defense team to know, and, more importantly for their claims, they did not want to public to witness.  All of the data was in opposition to the narrative of the State and the Martin family, around Trayvon; and much of it was viewed by them as a risk. Consequently the State of Florida wanted the information hidden from the defense.

However, a man named Ben Kruidbos (pronounced “cried-boss”) was in charge of Information Technology within the State Attorney’s office. He became aware of the State attorney, Angela Corey, and her prosecutors (pictured below), intentionally keeping the information from the defense team during pre-trial discovery. Fearful for his own position if he did nothing Kruidbos retained outside advice and representation from a former legal colleague, Wes White.

Eventually, through a series of tenuous 3rd party contacts with the defense team, the issue of the State intentionally hiding information came to the court and trial Judge, Debra Nelson.

However, Nelson did not want to deal with the Brady violation and possible judicial sanctions for the behavior before the trial. Nelson wanted the trial to begin quickly.

So Nelson delayed any sanctions hearing until after trial. That post-trial hearing has still not taken place.

As a result of Ben Kruidbos revealing the information the FL State 4th District Attorney, Angela Corey, fired him on the last day of trial – just before closing arguments. Subsequently Kruidbos filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination. That lawsuit is soon to be heard in court. Below is the amended complaint, filed by Kruidbos against Angela Corey, and her latest response.

*It is worth noting in the Corey response she is claiming the information on the Trayvon Martin cell phone was not, according to her, discovery evidence she was required to turn over.

Corey is claiming the pictures and cell phone data were attorney “work product“, and therefore she was under no obligation to divulge it – consequently she is claiming the data is not Brady material. Even a first year law student would admit this “claim” will not pass muster in a sanctions hearing. The state cannot selectively hide information pre-trial just because parts of it would negatively impact their position, the defendant has every right to see all of the evidence in the case – especially evidence which *might* be used in his defense.

First, here is the updated complaint by Kruidbos: (more…)

The mainstream media, and even law enforcement, have consistently tried to claim the race-based “Knock Out” assaults are mythical in nature.

Various manipulations of labeling have taken place with some calling the attacks “a game”, or more specifically, “the Knock Out Game“.

It is also known on the street as “polar bear hunting“, or “Cracka’ Smacks“.

This past weekend another victim died.   Until we honestly confront the reality of what is taking place we cannot expect to see this trend stop.   Every single one of these attacks is a black youth, a specifically intended white victim, a random punch to the face/head:

2014

Baton Rouge, Louisiana  (victim killed)

Cambridge, Massachusetts

St. Cloud, Minnesota (victim killed)

Flint, Michigan

New York, New York (six victims from same thug)

Charlottesville, Virginia

Denver, Colorado

Rochester, New York

2013 (more…)

From media descriptions this Louisiana attack -in this latest Knockout Murder- are almost identical to the one which killed victim Colton Gleason in St. Cloud, Minnesota.  In the Minnesota case 18-year-old attacker, Jesse Smithers was sentenced to 10 years last Thursday.

In both cases the similarly aged black attackers picked a random white target then punched them in the head causing their victims to fall down and hit their heads again on the sidewalk – which led to coma and eventual brain death.

BATON ROUGE – Baton Rouge Police have arrested Windall Lavel Herring, 19, 8211 Perkins Rd., for 2nd Degree Murder.

According to a report, police were called to 1600 Lake Calais Court on February 1st, 2014 around 9:30pm in reference to an unresponsive man lying on the sidewalk bleeding.

The victim, 55-year-old white male John Bannon, was transported to an area hospital where he died of his injuries on February 14th.

The Coroner’s Office ruled Bannon’s death a homicide, stating that he died from “blunt force closed head trauma which caused lethal hemmorrhaging to the brain.”

“A possible motive is that the teens attacked Bannon because they wanted to see who could hit the hardest,” said a BRPD spokesman. (more…)

(Salon.Com)  Since Florida cannot defend black life against white fear, the question now is: How should black people respond?

How much more are black people in this country supposed to take?

On Saturday, a Florida jury failed to convict Michael Dunn for the callous murder of Jordan Davis. Though he was convicted of three counts of attempted murder and also on a gun charge, a mistrial was declared for the first-degree murder charge. He will face substantial jail time – perhaps up to 75 years on the four charges for which he was found guilty.

Prosecutor Angela Corey has also publicly declared her intent to seek retrial on the murder conviction. However, she is the same prosecutor who oversaw the Zimmerman murder trial and failed to get a conviction. (more…)

Northern and central Virginia local papers are reporting on a very bizarre case involving the disappearance and death of a Virginia reserve police officer, Captain Kevin Quick, who served in the Waynesboro, Va Police Dept.

Kevin Quick was en route to visit the mother of his 4 month old infant daughter in an apartment complex near Barracks Road in Charlottesville, Va when he disappeared.  Police have been able to trace the movements of his vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner, in a bizarre pattern through central Virginia, up to Manassas in northern Virginia, and then back down again to Louisa County in central Virginia, where it was used as a getaway vehicle in a robbery attempt.

When you peel back the concentric layers around progressively driven racial story lines what you find is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

As with almost every aspect of life whatever inherent truths you deny, you are doomed to revisit.   Yesterday we outlined the latest media-avoided conversation surrounding yet another racially inspired knock out assault.

Knowing that a single blow to the head can lead to death, as was evidenced recently in the “knock out murder” trial of Jesse Smithers, these awkward, horrific and continually repeating examples are not a game.   

They are, for all intents and purposes, attempted homicides.

Capital Murder as generally defined is: “the unlawful killing of another person, with malice of forethought and specific intent to kill“. Remove any of the three essential elements [(1) Unlawful, (2) malice, (3) specific intent] and you have the various degrees of homicide charges.

Remove ‘specific intent’ and you have “Murder 2” unintentional killing.  Add in the removal of ‘malice of forethought’ and you have “manslaughter”. Remove ‘unlawful‘ and you end up with “justifiable homicide”.

What you witness in this attack is (1) unlawful and (2) with malice of forethought.  The unknown variable is ‘specific intent’.  Does the attacker intend to kill the victim ?

Generally, at least in this example, I would surmise no – but one could easily argue, perhaps.
