The DOJ (Eric Holder and CRS Head Grande Lum) are up to their tricks again.   CNN reports on federal officials who say Police Chief Thomas Jackson is leaving to quell Ferguson unrest.  *Big Alerts and Flashy Signals For Emphasis*

Police Chief Jackson has no idea what they’re talking about; no-one has talked to him.

(CNN) — The police chief in Ferguson, Missouri, is expected to step down as part of the effort by city officials to reform the Police Department, according to government officials familiar with the discussions ongoing between local, state and federal officials.

Under the proposed plan, after Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson leaves, city leadership would ask the St. Louis County police chief to take over management of Ferguson’s police force. (more…)

Liberalism on display.  Is it any wonder why the vast majority of Americans do not support the selfish protestations of this Democrat?

(Bangor Daily) Attorneys for a nurse released from isolation in New Jersey after returning to the U.S. from West Africa say she will not comply with Maine health officials’ requirements that she remain under quarantine at home for 21 days.
Kaci Hickox, who treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and shows no symptoms of the virus, agreed to refrain from going out in public for two days, said Steven Hyman of the New York law firm McLaughlin & Stern. She traveled to Maine on Monday by private car after her release from New Jersey, where she was isolated against her will in a tent outside University Hospital in Newark after she flew into New York on Friday.
“She doesn’t want to agree to continue to be confined to a residence beyond the two days,” Hyman said. (more…)

We first discussed this over the weekend when several unusual “adjustments” all aligned with a computer compromise.   The White House network was indeed compromised.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Suspicious cyber activity has been detected on the computer network used by the White House and measures have been taken to address it, a White House official disclosed on Tuesday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, would not say who might have been responsible for the activity on what was described as an unclassified computer network used by employees of the Executive Office of the President.

“In the course of assessing recent threats we identified activity of concern on the unclassified EOP network. Any such activity is something that we take very seriously. In this case we took immediate measures to evaluate and mitigate the activity,” the official said. (more…)

Trust me, the headline makes more sense than Josh Earnest who has also found a new category, “civilian government“.

Spare yourself a few moments by forwarding the video to @1:30 and watch/listen.

Notes: Why is the media avoiding the obvious?
The Italian government forced Major General Darryl Williams into quarantine, along with his entire staff, yesterday upon his return from Africa. In addition Spain and Germany stated they would force all U.S. military into quarantine on bases in their respective nations. No media has questioned the white House about this yet.
The U.S. Army responded to the Italian, German and Spanish quarantine threat by discussing an overall U.S. Army quarantine as it relates to returning service members.
It appears the entire construct of the Military Quarantine is simply to avoid sunlight on three ally nations who have given President Obama and the U.S. the back of their hand.

As you read this MSNBC article please remember two critical things:

#1) It is authored by Trymaine Lee. A RABID and self-avowed media member of the Professional Black Grievance Industry.

#2) It is written by the aforementioned antagonist/racist about the activity of the structural NAACP political body.  The “higher brow” of the BGI.

It’s the equivalent to Sunni Apologist Recep Erdogan writing about the Islamic State and saying some Muslims deserve support. (*Hint* he would not be talking of Kurdish Muslims) 
In short, neither Trymaine Lee, nor the NAACP would assist any black person who was speaking honest witness toward a pro-Wilson narrative.  THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.  Blacks that support Wilson are ostracized enemies of the BGI, and called horrible names far worse than Uncle Tom.  So keep that in mind.
Ergo, when Lee’s MSNBC article is framing a narrative about a wounded witness, or a potentially wounded witness, he’s talking about, and protecting the group of, media witnesses who have positioned themselves in the camp of liars.
The six witnesses who are being financially assisted by the NAACP are NOT six black witnesses who would have spoken honestly about the incident and events.  No, he’s writing about NAACP support for the SIX false witnesses previously outlined.  Crenshaw, Mitchell, Johnson, Seltzer, etc. (more…)

This has been an interesting story since it first surfaced in May of 2013.  Sharyl has been tight lipped since she announced knowing who had bugged her back in June of 2013.  
The exfiltration and bugging was extensive and highly professional.  Her Skype program was used as a bugging tool for government agencies (NSA, CIA, FBI) to listen in to her conversations, and electronic classified documents were planted in her computer system in case blackmail leverage was needed… This was done while Sharyl was investigating Fast-n-Furious and Benghazi.
(New York Post) A former CBS News reporter who quit the network over claims it kills stories that put President Obama in a bad light says she was spied on by a “government-related entity” that planted classified documents on her computer.
In her new memoir, Sharyl Attkisson says a source who arranged to have her laptop checked for spyware in 2013 was “shocked” and “flabbergasted” at what the analysis revealed.
“This is outrageous. Worse than anything Nixon ever did. I wouldn’t have believed something like this could happen in the United States of America,” Attkisson quotes the source saying.
She speculates that the motive was to lay the groundwork for possible charges against her or her sources. (more…)

This is an evolving situation which the White House is desperately trying to get their arms around control.   Currently the White House messaging to the U.S. media is an effort to sell the quarantine proposals as a U.S. Pentagon/Military decision/non-decision about quarantining soldiers who return from West Africa missions.  
However, it appears that specific angle’s narrative is driven as a needed cover story for DoD Secretary Hagel, and the Joint Chiefs – because  Italy, Spain and Germany  have told our military personnel (returning from Africa) they will face forced quarantine in their respective base countries.

WFB […] Major General Darryl A. Williams, who was appointed head of the U.S. command center in Liberia that coordinates the response to Ebola, was isolated along with several other Americans over the weekend, CNN reports.
The General’s “plane was met on the ground by Italian authorities ‘in full CDC gear,’” a U.S. official was quoted as telling CNN.
Williams and the others will now be monitored for 21 days at a U.S. military compound in Italy, according to the report.

The Italians forced U.S. Major General Williams into quarantine.

You can see the problem for the White House.  Our military forced to quarantine in other countries while President Obama is advocating exactly the opposite, and allowing everyone to come willy nilly in the U.S. 
To cover the dichotomy and try to avoid the conflict, the Joint Chief’s are debating a new rule forcing all of our military into quarantine.  This would change the dynamic to give the appearance of a decision made on our part and not forced by other nations, upon us.
However, such a rule might avoid the international optic but it would conflict with the White House.  How can the White House advocate for non-quarantine of West African healthcare workers, based on human rights violations, and yet force our military into the same quarantine. (more…)

Just to balance the considerations here ~ Italy, Germany and Spain have now demanded 21 day forced quarantine for our military personnel who are based overseas and travel to Africa.  Including Italy requiring the U.S. Army to put a U.S. General, Major General Darryl Williams, under armed guard during his quarantine.

Good grief the media “victim” propaganda is extreme below; but it’s no wonder.

Think of all the victim ‘check-boxes’ she fits.  Typhoid Mary, aka Kaci Hickox (picture credit GotNews) is a: • Northeast liberal (Maine), •far-left activist, • lesbian, • Democrat, • federal government employee, • working for the CDC.

Media Victim Checklist: (√ = Victim Value Scale)

√ √ Democrat
√√ √ Female
√ √ √ √ √ Gay
√ √ √ Liberal-Activist
√ Northeast (Maine)
√ √ Federal Employee

“This is an extreme that is really unacceptable, and I feel like my basic human rights have been violated”. – Kaci Hickox 

Chris Christie didn’t stand a chance.  Now things begin to make sense about how Ms. Hickox is being sold to the public as a victim.  It also explains why they had to inject her school, the University of Texas, to avoid the reality of her being a typical Northeast Liberal; and to sell the Dr’s without borders angle to obfuscate she’s actually a federal employee. 

Including this insufferably biased article about her being forced to sit isolated in tent in the parking lot of a New Jersey hospital.

(Via Daily Mail) Chris Christie was forced on Monday to allow a nurse being kept in a tent in a hospital parking lot to go home after intense White House pressure to relax a mandatory 21-day quarantine the New Jersey Governor had imposed at a state level. (more…)

We were wondering why the White House put out last week’s meeting of the National Security Council so quickly – they never do that, ever.  Reading this lengthy Politico article the urgent optics now make sense…. there’s always a reason with this crew.

(Via Politico) When President Obama, after months of equivocation over how to respond to the takeover of parts of Iraq and Syria by radical militants, announced in September that the United States would “lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat,” the White House swung quickly into action, sending proposed legislation to train and equip Syrian rebels to Capitol Hill that same day.
Unfortunately, the White House failed to consult with the Pentagon—which would be doing most of the rolling back—on the timing or details of the announcement. (more…)

Given all previous outlines this would not be a surprise….
WASHINGTON – The death of an American journalist who worked in the Middle East has come under suspicion because she had claimed days before her death that the Turkish intelligence services had threatened her over her coverage of the siege of the Syrian city of Kobani.

[…]  “We were some of the first people on the ground – if not the first people – to get that story of … militants going in through the Turkish border. … I’ve got images of them in World Food Organization trucks. It was very apparent that they were militants by their beards, by the clothes they wore, and they were going in there with NGO trucks.”

Serena Shim, an American citizen of Lebanese origin, was a journalist for Iran’s state-owned Press TV. She was killed in a car crash in the city of Suruc after she reportedly collided with a “heavy vehicle.”
She was in a rental car returning from her assignment when the crash occurred. Neither the “heavy vehicle” nor its driver has been located, although her driver reportedly was arrested. (more…)
