Ad Rem Puddy highlights a Tip from the Tip Line
Treeper Jello provides this lengthy consideration for your review:
I think I’m finally pretty up-to-date with the posts on this site, and I haven’t seen anything related to what I’m about to say. But if it’s already been discussed, and I’ve just missed it, sorry. I guess I’ll just have to be embarrassed that I went to all this trouble for nothing. 😉  Oh, and another thing, I partly agree with this recent comment by Sundance:

“… we know that the details surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin are no longer the matter at hand in determining the outcome for George Zimmerman.   Indeed, if those details or facts ever truly were what mattered, they are not now.  That train has long since passed the station of justice.”

As for public opinion, at least for the majority of people in this country, I think that’s right. But I still think a whole lot of people can be convinced they’re wrong (as evidenced by how many have seen the light over just the past couple weeks). And when/if this case ever goes to trial, these kind of details are gonna be VERY important, at least if we get a fair jury empaneled. So I hope you’ll bear with me with what I’m about to say, since it very much DOES involve “details and facts” of the case. (more…)

I found this on Facebook from Chicks On The Right. They credit Blacksphere and Occupy This. I just call it Obooba. Like Chicks On The Right if you have time to waste looking at some of the howls from “I’m not a liberal, I’m an independent” goons.

For anyone following this story/legal case you know what the local ground players in/around Orlando have been doing. They have been systematically and methodically distancing themselves from the “George Zimmerman is Racist” narrative. The retreat is now going mainstream. Quickly.
The retreat began with the Media Consultant, Ryan Julison, who sold the initial racist narrative as part of the “media strategy“, his sales pitch, or in pitchman lingo “the hook”.  Immediately after following our site and looking at the research Julison took down his company website; then he scrubbed his company facebook page where he was bragging about “working with” the various reporters in framing their story, and sharing the specific stories he worked on with them.
Those stories were filled with false statements about George Zimmerman being a 247lb “white” male. Or, in the New York Times example, he helped create the new ethnicity “White-Hispanic“.
 
We outlined how Julison also used the Orlando Sentinel, and one reporter specifically named Jeff Weiner, to frame the false narrative and sell the Julison-Jackson version of events.  Those Weiner articles  were picked up and used by other media outlets and sold in their markets across the US.
We also shared how this is the norm for how Natalie Jackson and Ryan Julison work, they are quite proficient with using this approach. Apparently, the quid-pro-quo works well.
The latest retreats are from ABC and CNN. We start with CNN and a CNN National Legal Contributor/Analyst who we have outlined is connected to the Orlando machine, Mark Nejame.   Mr Nejame appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan show last night to share the following mea culpa. Listen carefully to exactly what words and phrases he uses:

(BREITBART.com) Today’s unconscionable Washington Post story, which implied without evidence that Mitt Romney was a homophobic bully to one John Lauber back in his high school days five decades ago, has totally imploded.
Timed to drop the day after President Obama’s announced embrace of same-sex marriage, the story set the political world atwitter. But earlier today, Breitbart News reported that the Post had inflated witness testimony. The original Washington Post piece stated the following:

“I always enjoyed his pranks,” said Stu White, a popular friend of Romney’s who went on to a career as a public school teacher and has long been bothered by the Lauber incident. [emphasis added]

Yet in an interview with ABC News today, White disowned that characterization: (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 †

Sometimes when you are looking into the rabbit hole you notice the most odd connections and associations;  Every once in a while they are a little funny…  Too.

Or chills as the case may be….

Not really a surprise considering the greatest risk to President Obama advocating for same sex marriage would be from the black constituency.   However, if Mitt Romney had requested to only be interviewed by a white person, that might have made a headline or ten.

(POLITICO) — For President Barack Obama’s groundbreaking interview on gay marriage, the White House turned to a friendly face — ABC’s Robin Roberts.
She’s a respected journalist who knows both Barack and Michelle Obama well, isn’t regarded as a difficult “gotcha” interrogator and whose own identity — and shared love of sports with the president — was a key factor in the decision to grant her one of the biggest gets of the president’s time in office, according to insiders at ABC and elsewhere.

“The White House went with Robin because of her personal rapport, their friendship, the past interviews — but also her race [African-American], even her age,” one producer at ABC said to POLITICO of the 51-year-old Roberts. “There is a very strong, very basic connection there.” (more…)
