Update:   Y’all are awesome.  Thanks to you we’ve got the Bill Covered and will be dispatching payment to speed process ASAP.  Hopefully we can take possession of the FOIA material before jury selection is complete – We’ll keep you updated.   Thanks again, Wolverines !

This quest actually began last September, 2012. [9 months ago] After a six month exhausting legal fight we won a significant victory and gained the first 6 sworn affidavits in the Miami-Dade Internal Affairs investigation. The battle was costly not only in our time, but also in real financial terms, you guys stepped up and helped us fund the research.

As a consequence of that previous public records request we were able to bring a lot of sunlight to the Zimmerman case surrounding Trayvon Martin. We identified 10 more sworn statements of even greater significance. Again, we went back into battle against the forces who would prefer the truth to remain hidden. We have won again and now need to pay for the next, and final, batch of Public records – FOIA – We are asking for your help: Here is a copy of the bill for these Ten sworn affidavits and additional public records.

Thread #2

Today, June 13th is DAY #4 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. Continuing jury selection. Yesterday the Court continued its preliminary questioning of prospective jurors, moving through 10 candidates by the end of the day.

As was the case previously, questions were limited to how much exposure the prospective juror had to the case through the media and other channels, as well as how that may have impacted their opinion of the case. There was also some speculation yesterday the defense believed a jury might be seated by the middle of next week. In addition, it was disclosed that a total of 71 jurors have been dismissed at this point.

Another 100 were summoned today, but are on call and do not have to report immediately to the court house. There was also a notable increase in questioning by both the State and the defense about the prospective juror’s use of social media. There was little of this on Monday, but it’s become an increasing focus of questioning since then. There also seemed to be an increased interest in whether the prospective jurors were active in church. (more…)

(PJ MEDIA) – The State Department whistleblower is Aurelia Fedenisn. She worked in the department’s inspector general’s office until her retirement in December 2012. According to USA Today, she has sought protection as an official whistleblower after the State Department directly threatened her, once at her home. It threatened her with criminal charges when she turned over documents to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) showing evidence that the department had watered down her report, in which she alleged that the department at the highest levels had scuttled eight investigations into a range of criminal wrongdoing.

Dallas lawyer Damon Mathias, who represents Fedenisn, said Fedenisn hired him after two diplomatic security agents spoke in a threatening manner to her teenage children at her home in a Virginia suburb of Washington. The agents arrived at the home to talk to Fedenisn about documents Fedenisn had given to Cruz and told the teens that they demanded to speak to their mom immediately, Mathias said… (more…)

WASHINGTON — A State Department whistleblower has accused high-ranking staff of a massive coverup — including keeping a lid on findings that members of then-Secretary Hillary Clinton’s security detail and the Belgian ambassador [Gutman pictured below] solicited prostitutes.

A chief investigator for the agency’s inspector general wrote a memo outlining eight cases that were derailed by senior officials, including one instance of interference by Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills.

Any mention of the cases was removed from an IG report about problems within the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), which provides protection and investigates crimes involving any State Department workers overseas. (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Read The research taking place in the comments section and you will begin to grasp exactly how encompassing the rot is behind this case. Sooner or later a nation will wake up to what the CRS actually is all about.   Like say,…. well,….. for example that one of President Obama’s Pastors’ is there today:

Pastor Joel Hunter (left) of the Northland church – arrives with Pastor Quintin Faison (center) of Rescue Church of God, and Pastor Marvin Scott of Second Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, in Sanford, Fla. at the George Zimmerman trial.

Today after trial for jury selection Trayvon’s™ Mom, Sybrina, and Trayvon’s™ Dad, Tracy, gave a press conference.    However, just before they delivered their prepared remarks something serendipitous happened in the courtroom which brings a profound irony when contrast against their prepared statement.

#TrayvonMartin family attorneys just emailed out text of the statement Crump gave after #GeorgeZimmerman jury selection today. Here it is:

“Today on the third day of the jury selection in the Trayvon Martin murder trial we are inspired by the honesty of the potential jurors. Their answers have been forthright and we have faith that the justice system and the members of the public who are selected for the jury will perform their civic duty in a fair and impartial manner.

Yesterday, former NYPD detective Harry Houck commented to FOX that Trayvon would be alive today if he didn’t have a “street attitude.” This comment, made on a live panel, is reprehensible and extremely reminiscent of the victim blaming rhetoric we saw a year ago. We all know Trayvon Martin was an unarmed teenager, who’d just bought Skittles and a tea on a chilly Florida evening in February. George Zimmerman was an armed adult who followed Trayvon down a street, pursued him and then shot him.

We are calling on the media to refuse to perpetuate victim blaming and irresponsible characterizations of Trayvon. The evidence shows there is no blood on Trayvon’s hands. Trayvon is not on trial here, he is the victim. Trayvon’s killer, George Zimmerman, is the man who is on trial.”
