JACKSONVILLE – The 50-year-old southern regional representative of Jacksonville’s New Black  Panther Party for Self Defense was arrested Monday on charges of false  imprisonment and resisting an officer without violence, according to the  Sheriff’s Office.

Mikhail Shareef Muhammad of North Myrtle Avenue remained held on $200,000  bail Wednesday, according to jail records.

Police were called just after 2 p.m. by a friend of Muhammad’s wife, Claudia  Lizeth, who said he wasn’t willing to let her leave and was afraid for her life,  according to the arrest report. Officers went to Muhammad’s home, where Lizeth  mouthed, “Help me” to a sergeant. (more…)

Predictions:

1. ISOLATE – Attach the word “birther” or “birtherism” or “extremist” to the people who are demanding White House transparency and investigation.

2. RIDICULE – Position all of the investigations as “attacks” against and targeting the President. This helps play the race card.

3. MARGINALIZE – Talk up the willingness of staffers to cooperate as a tool for diminishing the severity of the accusations/charges. Highlight supporters (unions) to the presidential agenda.

What Tawana Brawley was to Al Sharpton – So too is Witness 8 To Benjamin Crump

RdG outlined the evidence of yet another obvious lie by Benjamin Crump we had previously missed:

When Crump filed his affidavit he claimed he never had contact with Witness 8 following the initial 3/19/12 telephonic interview with ABC et al:

However, the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement contradicts that claim.

A Northwestern University student was rejected for a “diversity and inclusion post” in student government because he is a white, heterosexual male, resulting in a sharp rebuke from the university’s student newspaper.

Northwestern University’s Associated Student Government rejected the nomination of Stephen Piotrkowski for associate vice president of diversity and inclusion last week. The student-run committee “oversees diversity initiatives that stem from the undergraduate student body.”

Piotrkowski’s nomination sparked a heated discussion during an ASG meeting – described by a student reporter as “contentious.”

“This university is not ready, in any capacity, for a heterosexual white male to be in charge in any way of diversity and inclusion,” said Ian Coley, a member of the diversity committee. “I don’t know if any university is.” (more…)

(Dr. Krop High School – 2007) A student was arrested for possession of marijuana in the butterfly garden in November, during second lunch. [Dr. Krop High School Resource] Officer Darryl Dunn was informed by Crime Watch students and arrested him immediately.

This was the eighth case of student arrests for drug possession this year; which, according to Dunn, is a low number compared to other years.

“Last year around this time, I had about 15 to 20 arrests,” he said. (more…)

(DAILY MAIL) A former Philadelphia police officer once  hailed as a hero and given a seat next to the first lady at a speech by  President Obama has been arrested and charged with rape and other  crimes.

Authorities allege that former officer  Richard DeCoatsworth left a party with two women early Thursday and took them to  another location, where they claim that he produced a handgun and ‘forced the  two females to engage in the use of narcotics and sexual acts.’

A police spokeswoman said the two called  police after he left, and 27-year-old DeCoatsworth was charged with rape, sexual  assault, terroristic threats and related offenses.

DeCoatsworth was hailed as a hero after he  was shot in the face during a traffic stop in September 2007 but still managed  to chase after his attacker, who was later sentenced to 36 to 72 years in  prison. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012 acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath.

The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it’s important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect “incompetence rather than malice or cover up.” Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently.

There are just some jaw dropping discoveries coming forth from the Congressional IRS Hearings and the investigative reporting being done into the background and substance of the claims.

(*note* liar avoidance 101 teaches you that when a person says “to be honest with you” as the lead to their next statement – they are NOT to be trusted.  Ever.   Honest people do not need to qualify when they are honest, and when they are lying.)

First: The IRS intentionally withheld the information last year until after the 2012 election cycle because they knew it would destroy the chances for the Democrats and President Obama specifically. Even to the extent they intentionally misled congress:

The Treasury Department’s inspector general testified at a congressional hearing Friday that he had informed Obama administration officials of an investigation into improper scrutiny of conservative non-profit groups by the Internal Revenue Service during the run-up to the 2012 election.

J. Russell George told Treasury’s general counsel of the investigation on June 4, and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin — then-Sec. Timothy Geithner’s No. 2 — “shortly thereafter,” according to the New York Times.  (link)

(Via Slate)  If you are a customer of Verizon Wireless, you might want to consider switching carriers in light of the Associated Press phone snooping scandal.

When the feds came knocking for AP journalists’ call records last year, Verizon apparently turned the data over with no questions asked. The New York Times, citing an AP employee, reported Tuesday that at least two of the reporters’ personal cellphone records “were provided to the government by Verizon Wireless without any attempt to obtain permission to tell them so the reporters could ask a court to quash the subpoena.” (more…)
