Thanks to Puddy’s ‘paws o’ brilliance’ for putting the Dershowitz radio show audio into u-tube format (below) so we can share….. 

JACKSONVILLE – Famed Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz continued his assault on State Attorney Angela Corey today, challenging her to a debate this morning on a Jacksonville news radio show.
The challenge comes less than a week after Dershowitz’s article was published on Newsmax.com, ripping Corey for threatening to sue the university over his criticism of her actions in charging George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin shooting.
The quarrel began with Dershowitz’s comments on Fox News’ Huckabee, in which he said Corey told “half-truths” to the court when she submitted an affidavit saying that there was a struggle in the shooting without disclosing that Zimmerman had also been injured. (more…)

Richard W. Mantei is a new Asst. State Attorney placed into the prosecution team against George Zimmerman (article below). We need to find out more about this guy. From my initial google review of him he appears to be a “plea bargain specialist” along the line of Tom Cruise’s character in a Few Good Men. Many of his prosecution cases ended up as plea agreements. I hope that is not the direction here.
However, my initial gut response to another prosecutor was telling me this was for “positioning” or “plausible deniability” in that new exculpatory evidence (see update #28) would be in dire need of a fresh set of eyes. That is just a hunch, a spidey sense kinda thing, I really don’t know.

So what can we find out about him? (more…)

Apparently we, as in every non-black person in the United States, are being warned by both the Congressional Black Caucus and President Obama that “Race” is the only important distinction of our republic.
Here are two articles citing both a warning from the CBC that if George Zimmerman is found not guilty there will be riots, and simultaneously from President Obama that he has “black voters backs“.
Gee, whatever happend to a post-racial America and those “purple states” he spoke so fondly of?

 “I think a ‘not guilty’ verdict is extremely problematic in 2012,”  – Angela Rye   

That’s an odd statement.   Why only problematic in 2012?  Think about it….
WASHINGTON – Race riots could ensue if George Zimmerman — the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case — is found not guilty of second-degree murder by a Florida jury, the Congressional Black Caucus’ executive director allowed yesterday.

“I think a ‘not guilty’ verdict is extremely problematic in 2012,” said Angela Rye, the Executive Director and General Counsel for the Congressional Black Caucus. She said, “I don’t know,” when asked what would happen in the event of an acquittal. “I know that folks have talked about race riots — I don’t know that.
I think that we live in a day and age where people are educated enough not to do that. I know that his mother and his father have asked for peace, peaceful solutions, not repaying evil for evil, so I’m not sure. I think it would set us back . . . there’s no value to racial violence or any other kind of violence.” (more…)

The “victim” is  not the dead guy.  The “victim” is the four-year-old girl.
TEXAS – Sheriff’s deputies in Texas won’t file charges against a father who they say beat an acquaintance to death after allegedly catching him sexually abusing the man’s 4-year-old daughter.

During a social gathering on Saturday, the girl went inside the family’s home in Shiner while other members of the family were tending to horses outside, CNN reported.
The father caught a 47-year-old man — with whom he was casually acquainted — attempting to molest his daughter, Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon told the Victoria Advocate. The father then allegedly punched the man in the head until he died, Harmon reported. (more…)

This post is a follow up to the prior consideration we discussed in February. The Inquest is now complete:
CANBERRA, Australia — Settling a notorious 1980 case that split the nation and led to a mistaken murder conviction, an Australian coroner ruled Tuesday that a dingo took a baby from a campsite in the Outback, just as her mother said from the beginning.

The eyes of Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton and her ex-husband, Michael Chamberlain, welled with tears as the findings of the fourth inquest into the disappearance of their 9-week-old daughter, Azaria, were announced in court. Lindy Chamberlain served more than three years in prison for the baby’s death, but was later cleared and has always maintained that a wild dog took her.
“We’re relieved and delighted to come to the end of this saga,” a tearful but smiling Chamberlain-Creighton told reporters outside the court in the northern city of Darwin. (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 †

Critical Thinking – Yesterday I posted a video  and CNN story that hit the “national news” of a Step-Father in a fenced back yard, with a baseball mitt, and a belt, and a young boy, with a baseball.
The video was not posted just to “stir emotion”…..  It was posted because there is a critical aspect to the Trayvon Martin case that people are overlooking.  Well, most people.    Bear with me.


Like the Trayvon Martin case, yesterday’s video, which drew the ire of many TreeHouse participants, was/is a media narrative.   The media narrative was “Step-Father beats Step-son for dropping ball while playing catch“.   That was the substance of the media construct, and it included a nice u-tube video to support it.

Breitbart is reporting:   Pat Caddell joined Stephen K. Bannon on the “Victory Sessions” and told him that National Security Advisor Tom Donilon is likely the source of recent intelligence leaks that have prompted calls for an investigation by Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein.  Caddell explains that he is certain Donilon is the source of the leaks because of his background as a political operative and a known “leaker”.

If this is indeed true, well, you can’t get any more “inside the White House” than NSA Advisor to the President Tom Donilon. (more…)
