We’ve seen this exact scenario play out numerous times, most visibly in 2012 when the DOJ wanted to keep the FBI reports on the lack of racial animus -which supported George Zimmerman- from the public.
Under Eric Holder’s tenure the DOJ civil rights division has actively engaged in pushing racial grievances to the forefront of their operational goals.  This type of intentional organizational racism even led to the former head of the Civil Rights Division, Ondray Harris, quitting his federal job after he was instructed not to hire non-blacks.
In the Mike Brown shooting the institutional racism of the DOJ surfaces again with the DOJ demand NOT to release the robbery video which showed the behavior of Mike Brown just prior to the encounter with police officer Darren Wilson.

#BREAKING Robbery video was released over the objections of DOJ. Told #Ferguson PD it was inflammatory + non responsive to FOIA.

The DOJ will hide behind the false construct of the Community Relations Service and claim the request not to release was made in the best interest of lowering racial tensions.  However, their intents, based on all historical references, are transparently the opposite of their claims. (more…)

Yahoo News are slime from tracking down and pestering the family of Officer Wilson; their liberal bias permeates their typeset. 

FERGUSON, Mo. — Six months before he shot and killed an unarmed teenager Mike Brown, police Officer Darren Wilson earned a commendation for his “extraordinary effort in the line of duty.”

Yahoo News confirmed the award through the February 11 Ferguson City Council meeting minutes and photos Wilson’s father posted to his Facebook page.
“Very proud of my son, Darren Wilson on his receiving a Commendation from his Police Department,” John Wilson wrote on February 11. “Congratulations Son.” (more…)

The focus point for the looting and mayhem in day #6 was the same location where Mike Brown and Dorian Johnson were videotaped during a strong arm robbery moments before the altercation with officer Darren Wilson.

Apparently the police releasing the CCTV video of Mike Brown during the strong arm robbery was enough to drive the local community to seek retaliation.   “Snitches get Stitches” is the sentiment at work. (more…)

*Update* Friend of Officer Darren Wilson speaks out with different side of story (below)

(Via TPM) Michael Brown, the African-American teen who was shot by Ferguson, Mo., police Saturday, was the primary suspect for an alleged robbery that occurred at the time of the shooting, according to reporters on the ground piecing through a police report released Friday.

Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson said officer Darren Wilson, a six-year veteran, was the officer who shot Brown. He gave a timeline of the shooting, which included a response to a 911 call from a convenience store shortly before the shooting around 12 p.m. Saturday.

While the two shooting events are separated by two and a half years, Trayvon (Feb 2012) Mike Brown (Aug 2014) the similarities are quite remarkable.   One of the key aspects that aligns both narratives is the appearance of the attorney for both families Benjamin Crump.  The second key aspect is the way the media portray both events.

Here’s some of the similarities:

•  The age of both was originally misreported.  Trayvon was 13, then 15, then 16 and eventually 17.  Mike Brown was 17 in most original reports, and then eventually 18.

•  Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were at a convenience store immediately before the shooting.

•  Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were legally represented by attorney Benjamin Crump, from the Law Firm of Parks and Crump.

•  For both shootings Benjamin Crump enlisted the assistance of MSNBC and Al Sharpton.

•  Al Sharpton enlisted the AME church network, and Jamal Bryant in both shootings.

•  Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton called for the NAACP’s assistance.

•  The New Black Panther Party involved themselves in both shootings.

•  The congressional Black Caucus involved themselves in both shootings.

Eric Holder is instituting the same process in Ferguson Missouri he used in Sanford Florida.   The civil rights wing of the DOJ is dispatched into Ferguson.   They are officially called the “Community Relations Service” (CRS), and historically -in previous administrations- have been called upon when racial animus is a concern amid a local municipality.

However, under the Eric Holder tenure, and as a specific mandate of the current administration, the CRS has been given a different mandate.  The CRS is a statutorily protected secret entity within the DOJ, and is now the official racial advocacy network for the professional black grievance industry.  As witnessed in the Trayvon Martin case the CRS now use their federal expense accounts to purchase venues for protest, contract audio/visual needs, purchase signs and professional media materials and purchase hotel rooms and coordinate airline flights and travel accommodations for the professional agitators.   Many of the CRS professionals are within the AME network.   (more…)

I leave NBC as I came – humbled and grateful. I love journalism and serving as moderator of MTP was the highest honor there is . (1 of 2)

President Obama Speaks:

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon Speaks

Another major similarity to the Trayvon Martin shooting is the way the pack media attack the Police Chief.  In Sanford Florida it was Bill Lee, in Ferguson Missouri it is Thomas Jackson. (more…)

The slow motion U.S. response to the crisis on Mount Sinjar is not only understandable it’s actually quite predictable.

President Obama’s entire ideological outlook and world view is born amid the kitchens, coffee tables, and social organizations of his life.   Together with his compadre’s they view the Gaza conflict through the prism of righteous protests against U.S. engagements in Vietnam.

Bill Ayers famously views armed opposition to the U.S. government as a patriotic and loyal endeavor – what’s a few local bombs intended to do if not to prove a point.   The rockets from Gaza are no more radical in the mind of the radical left than Ayers pentagon bombing of another similarly oppressive entity, the United States.

But something happens at that very specific juncture where the presentation of Hope and Fundamental Change meets the more brutal reality of consequence.  (more…)

President Barack Obama pledged during the 2012 campaign, and since, that he will not let Iran develop nuclear weapons.   This is one of the potentially broken promises that can have massive geopolitical consequences.

Last Friday he seemed almost resigned toward that end:
