Keep in mind the Democracy movement, the ‘opposition party’ in Egypt, refused to meet with or talk to John Kerry.   What does that tell you about this administration?  Pay no attention to the suicide vested jihadis’ behind the curtain that backdrops Kerry and Morsi’s handshake.

And to further illustrate the point – please refresh on the December 2011 visit with then Senator John Kerry, and the same newly elected Mohammed Morsi:

[…]  Morsi reportedly assured his visitors that no major changes ‎would be made to Egypt’s constitution or to current investment ‎laws.

He added that there were several principles that all ‎Egyptian political forces agreed must be enshrined in Egypt’s ‎national charter, including those concerning civil rights and ‎general freedoms. However, he stressed that the section of the ‎constitution related to presidential authorities would likely be ‎subject to amendment.‎

Morsi further assured his interlocutors that – in light of Egypt’s ‎central role in the Arab, Islamic and international arena – it would ‎respect all international treaties to which it was signatory, adding ‎that the US could play an important role in achieving political ‎stability and economic recovery for several nations of the ‎region.  (again, this was 2011)

Now To Today….

CAIRO (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday rewarded Egypt for President Mohammed Morsi’s pledges of political and economic reforms by releasing $250 million in American aid to support the country’s “future as a democracy.”

Yet Kerry also served notice that the Obama administration will keep close watch on how Morsi, who came to power in June as Egypt’s first freely elected president, honors his commitment. (more…)

Mailboxes along the roads and old barns set back in fields overgrown with weeds often served as landmarks in rural Montana.  These landmarks told us where we were and how far we had to go.

Sometimes they signaled “home”  and the end of the road.  At other times,  barely visible through swirling snow, they told us we had miles to go.

The things I share here each Sunday simply reference one of the mailboxes of my memory, one of the old barns along a distant road.  Today’s MBOB is a continuation of someone else’s Mailboxes and Old Barns–my parents.   Last month I shared Dad’s  January, 1926 courtship letters.   These are the February letters, written 87 years ago when he was 27 years old.  Their wedding was on April 10 so at the end of March one more round of letters, the last,  will be published.

This story is so alarming, so unnerving, and so troubling I don’t even want to copy the text or graphics.   But the only way to defeat EVIL is to confront its whisper, boldly.

Suffice to say this story is comparable to Kit Durant murder, only worse – if that is possible, which, at this point, I never thought would be, yet is.

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler

Wall Street Journal – In medical isolation in South Texas, 100 miles or so from Mexico’s border, is a man who embodies one of U.S. health officials’ greatest worries: He is the first person to cross and be held in detention while infected with one of the most severe types of drug-resistant tuberculosis known today.

His three-month odyssey through 13 countries—from his homeland of Nepal through South Asia, Brazil, Mexico, and finally into Texas—shows the way in which dangerous new strains of the disease can migrate across the world unchecked. (more…)

Last year March 2nd and 3rd were Friday and Saturday. On Friday night March 2nd the Trayvon Martin Funeral Viewing was held, and on Saturday March 3rd the internment (burial) took place.

There are multiple issues surrounding Witness #8 (DeeDee) and her appearance, or lack thereof, at the funeral services.

In some reports and personal statements by persons related to the family she was there. However, in the official *story* presented by Benjamin Crump on March 20th DeeDee was in the hospital because she was too distraught to attend. (more…)
