Wow – Accidental Expose' – Feds Offered Mike Brown Evidence To Editor Of Black Audience Newspaper Who Refused Information Because of Backlash Fear From Audience….

This takes the Ferguson cake.   Buried inside a catch-up story by the LA Times, who are missing out on the Mike Brown shooting scoops, is a trail that leads to the Feds providing details of the investigation to an editor of The Saint Louis American, Chris King. The Saint Louis American is African American News-Media. (Similar to The Grio)  
chris kingKing refuses to use the sourced information (about the factual evidence in the case) because his audience is black and the evidence does not support Mike Brown.  In essence he feared the audience backlash, ie. “coward”.
Chris King is white, his wife black and his audience primarily African American.  Obviously the investigation details he was privy to (a month ago) all support Officer Darren Wilson and therefore would not please his audience.  You might also enjoy reading his twitter feed since he’s been called out.  He is redefining what it means to be obtuse with denials and avoidance.  
Secondly, note how the “Federal Sources” for the LA Times are “unnamed”; despite the fact they claim to be quoting a “spokeswoman” they don’t provide a name as such.  That’s because this supposed anxiety from the feds is faux-outrage.  The feds, or more specifically the DOJ/CRS are the ones providing the leaks.  Also important, notice too the example they use for what upsets them.  It is not the current leaks and releases, but rather the previous release of the Ferguson Liquor Mart CCTV from Ferguson PD.

Bumper Sticker Of The Day…

Bend over bend over send IRS right over

Report: At Least Seven Or Eight Black Ferguson Eye Witnesses Confirm Darren Wilson Version of Shooting – Blood Splatter Shows Mike Brown Was Advancing On Officer Wilson….

Key Takeaways:

…”sources said blood spatter evidence shows that Brown was heading toward the officer during their face-off, but analysis of the evidence did not reveal how fast Brown was moving”…

…”Seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account, but none of them have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety”…

As expected the next media outlet to release details focuses on the witnesses.

LEAK 1.) The New York Times focused on the “evidence” and federal (DOJ) interpretation of what it means. LEAK 2.) The Saint Louis Dispatch gave Wilson’s account and how that evidence supported the contentions. LEAK 3.) The official autopsy of Mike Brown and the alignment with forensic evidence and Wilson’s account.

Lavrov's Paradox

Lost amid the reality we must bathe ourselves in chlorine to avoid upsetting the delicate sensibilities of West Africans is the invisible policy discussion of an illegal war being carried out in Syria.

President Hopey Changey has proclaimed both The War Powers Act, and a 2002 congressional authorization (AUMF) intended against al-Qaeda in Iraq, as the baseline for his legal approach to bombing in Syria.
Apparently, we are to ignore the fact the War Powers Act expired after 30 days, and the AUMF was never granted for Syria.
Of course the actual legal route would require congressional leadership to actually do, well, you know, leadership-type things. Currently neither Senator Turtle, nor the House Crier are willing to interrupt election season -or tanning appointments- to put Syrian authorization measures in front of the peoples representatives for a vote.

Unfortunately those pesky details are not lost on Russia, who reminded Secretary Ketchup as such during a recent chat.
Only in 2014’s fundamental change world does our President put constitutional types in a position where we actually end up in agreement with our arch nemesis, Russia.
(CNSNews.com) – Russia is not a member of the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition because its military actions are “paradoxical” and not in line with international law, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said this week. He pointed out that the coalition and Russia were arming opposing sides in the Syrian civil war. (more…)
