The Love of Money is The Root of All Evil

Everyone has an agenda, a historic and unfortunate fact embedded in, and a consequence of, the ultimate root of evil – the “love of money”.

This would include a diverse and somewhat disparate list of interested affiliations with the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.   From self-serving media entities, to the concentric circles of self-identified “friends”, and perhaps even some family members surrounding George and Shellie Zimmerman.  One can well imagine how “trust” would be a scarce commodity.

The latest Nuevo faux-cause celeb seeking his forty pieces of silver, fifteen minutes of fame and pound of proverbial flesh is Mark Osterman.   The former friend, advocate and confidant of George Zimmerman is writing a book to share/expose his experience inside the hurricane of hate surrounding the George Zimmerman V. Trayvon Martin fiasco.

We use the term “former” in relation to the friendship because one can scarcely imagine a scenario where a book release ahead of potential litigation would be beneficial.   Especially if you are a potential witness in the trial of a friend and now committing potential testimony to paper in advance.   Not a good idea under any circumstance.

Osterman was noted as a witness interviewed by the FBI who were looking into allegations of Zimmerman’s racism, and his identity was outed by Frances Robles of the Miami Herald in July.   Coincidentally Mr. Osterman lives in the same Lake Mary community where Cristina Meza, the accusatory cousin of George also grew up.

Apparently Mark Osterman is busy making the Madison Avenue rounds and guest appearing on pre-taped TV shows in preparation for his upcoming book release.  Nothing of any ‘good moral value’ is ever an outcome from this type of crap.

(Via RT.com) […] The facts behind TrapWire continue to surface in the days since WikiLeaks exposed the state-of-the-art surveillance system, but minute-by-minute more is being revealed about not just the scary intelligence infrastructure but its questionable ties.

Last week, WikiLeaks published their latest addition to trove of the so-called Global Intelligence Files — emails uncovered from Texas-based Strategic Forecasting (Stratfor) by Anonymous late last year — in turn revealing a widespread surveillance system blanketing much of the United States and abroad. The project, TrapWire, is the brainchild of Abraxas, a Northern Virginia corporation that has cut countless deals with the federal government and is staffed by former agents out of not just the Pentagon but practically every leading intelligence agency in the country. As those connections are examined under a magnifying glass by researchers and hacktivists alike, though, more and more is being brought to light about the correlations that exist between the biggest of brothers and an entire industry that profits from pulverizing what is left of privacy.

Some things President Obama does just make you shake your head in disbelief.   During the Iftar dinner Obama heaped praise on Huma Abedin the controversial Hillary aide, wife to disgraced penis-baring Congressman Anthony Weiner and daughter to radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood supporters, for her “patriotism”. 

Meanwhile who does she sit with?   Read on….. 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Friday called Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, an “American patriot” after a group of Republican lawmakers accused her of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political organization.

“She has been nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear,” Obama said at a White House Iftar dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“The American people owe her a debt of gratitude because Huma is an American patriot and an example of what we need in this country — more public servants with her sense of decency, her grace and her generosity of spirit.” […]

Abedin, a Muslim, was seated on Obama’s right at the dinner and appeared visibly moved as the president spoke to a room full of religious leaders, elected officials and diplomats. (more…)

As President Obama requested in 2010 “I want you to argue with them and get in their faces”…

This is just typical of how the leftist progs roll. During the Paul Ryan speech today a couple of progs disguised themselves in Romney apparel and shouted disruptions. But the antagonist has been identified via Gateway Pundit.

The heckler was disguised in a Romney T-shirt! So will Barack Obama condemn this?

Mediaite reported:

…he barely got a chance to compliment a spectator’s “cool” Packers jersey and offer an anecdote about how awesome State Fair wrist band days are before the heckling began.

Caught off guard for a second by a couple of women right in front, Ryan regained his cool and told the rest of the crowd that the women must not be from Iowa or Wisconsin since folks from those states are kind and respectful. He then pointed them out to security guards who crossed the stage and dragged the struggling women out.

Ok, back to it, right? Not so fast. Moments later, another couple, a man and a woman, began shouting for Ryan to “Stop the war on the common good!”

Ryan fans tried to cover the protesters with Mitt Romney signs as Ryan tried to talk over the noise.

Buzzfeed had this photo (above) of one of the hecklers.  We’ve seen him before. (more…)

…. but there is only one problem. Paul Ryan and the House passed the farm bill two weeks ago, it’s actually held up in the Senate by Harry Reid. But, who lets facts get in the way of a pre-scripted talking point….

There is no limit to the lies that Team Obama is willing to sell.

Honestly, if Mr. President was actually in DC instead of golfing or campaigning he might actually know the legislation was passed. Then again…

Believe it or not there actually was a time when President Obama said we as a nation, needed to reform Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and he actually advocated for the very reform which is included in the Paul Ryan plan.  

Alas, the personal goal of re-election has taken over doing the hard but necessary thing; and now the rhetoric of “class warfare” has once again to take center stage for this election cycle with Obama proclaiming the richest Americans are not paying their fair share.

Much has been written about how disingenuous it is to advocate such propositions when the truth of taxation and spending falls far away from the position of the president. Yet, even without a single day in office with any federal budget he will proclaim his fiscal credentials and espouse his opinion of being a fiscally responsible executive to the worlds largest economy.

We have shared extensively about the Obama financial hypocrisy, and perhaps it is a solid reference for others to re-familarize yourself and refer his advocates to a prior speech filled with similar tones and promises in June of 2010. 

Listen to President Obama discuss the structural deficit, the economy and his opinion on resolution, there are some very informative, and in hindsight, highly hypocritical considerations which given the events over the past two to three years should be called into contrast. (more…)

Paul Ryan has been chosen to run with Mitt Romney.   Now the choices are clearly defined, and so now the media framing of Election 2012 begins.   With less than 3 months to go this is going to be the most biased, nasty, hate-filled disinformation campaign in the history of modern elections:

Russell Simmons goes on the race-based/class warfare attack

At 9am today (Sat) Mitt Romney will be introducing his pick for Vice-President.  As announced last night it will be Representative Paul Ryan from Wisconsin.

If you are watching the press conference and announcement weigh in on your perspective and we’ll stick this on the page for other thoughts and insights throughout the day.

Cultural Marxism Runs Amok

Of course, no-one in the media would challenge defining the Sikh Temple shooting as “terrorism” with the ethnicity of the gunman, Wade Michael Page, who was white, and the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, who is muslim right?

(CNSNews.com) – U.S. Attorney Eric Holder, speaking at the Sikh Temple shooting memorial service in Oak Creek, Wis., on Friday, called the tragedy “an act of terrorism, an act of hatred,” and “a hate crime that is anathema to the founding principles of our nation and to who we are as an American people.”

The gunman, identified as Wade Michael Page, shot nine people at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin – killing six and injuring three others. Page, a suspected white Supremacist, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police. (more…)

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) –  An elderly couple is recovering Tuesday after they were brutally beaten inside their south Kansas City home.  The woman, 84, was also raped, according to a police report.

Tony L. Putman, 18, of Kansas City was charged with six felonies Tuesday afternoon. The charges include one count of rape and two counts of robbery.

The couple’s ordeal began about 1:30 p.m. Monday when a man broke into their home near 73rd Street and Campbell Avenue. Entry was gained through a basement window, which was broken.

The 93-year-old man was home alone when the suspect began to ransack the house and attacked him, police said.

Putman hit the man in the face and bound him with belts, according to court documents.  In the meantime, the man’s 84-year-old wife came home. She had been at the bank where she had gotten $400. (more…)
