(Via Fox News) US Army Reserve Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (Ret.) said that the Army is pressuring Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s defense team “to basically cop a plea, to plead out to something, and that would avoid the embarrassment of the entire long-drawn out legal process” on Wednesday’s “O’Reilly Factor” on the Fox News Channel.

Shaffer, who previously reported that a decision and announcements on charges for Bergdahl would come in mid-March stated that he believes the White House and the Pentagon do not want Bergdahl’s trial going on at the same time the detainees swapped for him are released at the beginning of May.

It’s official Day #2.  CNN has decided there is enough activity in the #Hashtag social justice movement for Martese Johnson; they are now entering the preliminary stages of broadcast narrative advancement.

Here’s the general tone from the Associated Press – Note the: “if we don’t get it shut it down” chant – which is the original chant created by Anthony Shahid, the primary Ferguson agitator.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Students at the University of Virginia are demanding justice for a student who was injured during an arrest and appears in a photo with a bloody face as he is being held down by an officer.

About 1,000 students showed up — more than expected, so the rally for Martese Johnson was moved several times, finally ending up at an outdoor amphitheater.

Many chanted: “If we don’t get it, shut it down!”

Very interesting article by Monica Crowley in the Washington Times pondering over the communications and non-official relationship between Hillary Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal. Blumenthal said to be in direct contact with various foreign governments and agencies to backchannel information to Hillary around official U.S. oversight.

Against the backdrop of what we researched -evidenced within The Benghazi Brief– the secret intelligence communication motive does make a lot of sense.

WASHINGTON TIMES – We all know that the only reason you would deliberately and premeditatedly set up a private email address and server is to have total control over your communications — to keep people away from those communications and to retain the ability to edit and delete your content.

In Hillary Clinton’s case, given her long history of concealment and duplicity, total control was the system’s purpose, not to keep track of Chelsea’s bridal gift registry.

A story originally reported in 2013 (and little-noticed at the time) may offer a deeper dimension to the reasons she wanted this control — and it leaves us with many new, unanswered questions. (more…)

After failing in a not very covert effort to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu at the ballot box, President Obama and his ideologically likeminded cohorts change strategy.

Every policy advisor in the White House has the same outlook toward Israel; they view our relationship with the Jewish state as the basis for our needed mid-East interventions.  According to U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power’s belief Israel is an occupying force which should be viewed as adversarial to U.S. policy. 

Power’s opinion is shared by the overall White House foreign policy team.  Now that Benjamin Netanyahu has won re-election, the most damaging thing the administration can do is to threaten removal of our protective relationship – which would signal to Hamas and other terror groups that it’s open season to attack.

(Via Politico) In the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decisive re-election, the Obama administration is revisiting longtime assumptions about America’s role as a shield for Israel against international pressure.

Angered by Netanyahu’s hard-line platform towards the Palestinians, top Obama officials would not rule out the possibility of a change in American posture at the United Nations, where the U.S. has historically fended off resolutions hostile to Israel.

[…] While saying it was “premature” to discuss Washington’s policy response, the official wouldn’t rule out a modified American posture at the United Nations, where the U.S. has long fended off resolutions critical of Israeli settlement activity and demanding its withdrawal from Palestinian territories.

Several elements are needed to qualify as #hashtag worthy for the #F**kThePolice and “Black Lives Matter” movement.   At 4:21 am today the qualifications were once again met.

√ A liberal geography.
√ A professional victim class.
√ A community infected with political correctness.
√ A group of impressionable young minds to engage social media.
√ A snappy narrative like “Black Lives Matter” etc.
√ A narrative that doesn’t need actual facts to support the racial meme.
√ Pictures showing a well narrated victim.
√ Videos carefully edited to only show a victim profile.
√ Overwrought protestation to the municipal authority (college Prez).
√ Knee-jerk Municipal authority acquiescence.

If the Social Justice #Hashtag pitch doesn’t take hold (ie. Tony Robinson, Madison Wisconsin) – Just cue up the next victim: “Martese Johnson” (Charlottesville, Virginia).

Seeing this bantered about via various sites is laughable. Glenn Beck announces he’s done with the GOP because they’ve lied about enforcing laws on illegal immigration and removing Obamacare constructs. Or something.

Beck is one of those financially dependent logic benders who is capable of flexing his spine into a 360 radius and shoving it completely up his own backside.

Beck’s previous support for Decepticon McConnell et al, in combination with his insufferable prior positions on illegal aliens, reflect something more than spinal geometry.  I would bet the more likely motive is his media finances are struggling.

Via Daily Caller – Conservative radio host Glenn Beck announced on his radio show Wednesday morning that he has officially left the Republican Party.

Beck, whose program appears on TheBlaze.com, said the GOP lost him when they said “they were going to stand against Obamacare and illegal immigration.” Beck added that the party “set us up” and “enough is enough.” (more…)

The AP reports on what is already well known and accepted. The Obama administration is the least transparent administration ever evaluated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration set a record again for censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn’t find documents and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy.

It also acknowledged in nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law — but only when it was challenged. (more…)

Yesterday Ferguson police shooter Jeffrey Williams’ attorney, Jerryl Christmas, made the claim that his client was beaten by Saint Louis Police during his arrest. Attorney Christmas, and Ferguson protest leader, Bishop Derrick Robinson, have now both made that claim.

As noted in the Saint Louis media:

[…] “Jerryl Christmas, also claimed that Williams was beaten during the arrest, a claim that police deny”.

[…] “Christmas said Williams had bruises on his back, neck and face as well as a knot on the back of his head, allegedly from the butt of an officer’s gun”. (link)

However, we have uncovered media video taken by KMOV on the night of the shooting which clearly shows Jeffrey Williams in a fight directly in front of the police department.

The video shows clearly Jeffrey Williams fighting with a large heavyset black male (grey hoodie), and getting hit numerous times during the fight.

This appears to be the direct source of any bruising – NOT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT: (more…)

The Wisconsin National Education Association (WNEA) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) fund a leftist group called “Wisconsin Jobs Now”.

Wisconsin Jobs Now has recently extended their left-wing antagonism efforts toward Madison Wisconsin where Tony Robinson was recently shot by police.

MADISON, Wis. – The National Education Association funded group, Wisconsin Jobs Now, continued its anti-police efforts at a rally it organized Wednesday.

Coming off months of protests against the Milwaukee Police Department, the group — that is also backed by the SEIU — is now targeting police in the liberal haven of Madison, Wisconsin.

According to prosecuting attorney Robert McCulloch a .40 caliber (weapon) was recovered on Jeffrey Williams, and Williams admitted to shooting toward the police.  In addition his vehicle is on video driving to the scene and within 27 seconds of pulling his vehicle onto the street (where the shots originated) the gunfire took place. 

Now comes the defense spin....

CLAYTON • The lawyer for Jeffrey Williams, who is accused of wounding two police officers at a protest in Ferguson last week, insisted Tuesday that his client did not shoot them — even though the prosecutor and a minister have said Williams admitted it.

The lawyer, Jerryl Christmas, also claimed that Williams was beaten during the arrest, a claim that police deny.

In addition, Christmas said the officers hit by gunfire were shot by accident, but would not say how he knows that if Williams was not the shooter. He said Williams did not fire a gun that night. (more…)
