On Monday March 5th a specific and intentional strategy to manufacture “media evidence” was created by Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson and Publicist Ryan Julison.   They began a systematic campaign of optical control.

First, by seeding a narrative to outline their victim “Trayvon Martin”.  The goal in this phase was to portray a personality, to construct a public image of Trayvon Martin.  The construct need not be real, indeed the outcome was far from the truth, it just needed to be the most marketable for the purpose of “brand imagery”.
They even went so far as to Trademark the Brand they were creating.  Control was the key element, as they set about their sales pitches and storyline.   Everything after that March 5th date was an outcome of their original construct.   Natalie Jackson and Benjamin Crump picked Ryan Julison , from Julison Communications, to create the Trayvon “brand” and the Trayvon media “image“.
According to Julison’s Website:

Who They Are ….we have developed communications strategies for a wide-range of crisis situations and worked closely with scores of attorneys to navigate the communication process with media.
[…]  We know how to get your story in the hands of top-tier media, immediately.
What They Do ….And we will work closely with your clients to provide them with both an understanding of the process and thorough media training, so they’ll be prepared to effectively tell their story.    In short, there is no learning curve at Julison Communications.  We’ve directed communications for attorneys and their clients in all manner of legal proceedings.    In short, if it’s a story worth telling, we can help develop a communications strategy and get it in the hands of appropriate local and national media, immediately.
… At Julison Communications, we make it our business to help you navigate the complexity of a crisis and manage your communications efforts.  We are experienced and have handled a wide-range of high-profile crises on the national stage, including those involving complicated legal and financial issues.   Communication in crisis requires a strategic partnership between public relations professional, management and legal counsel.  Often, PR pros and attorneys are at odds over what and how much to say, if anything.   But experience has proven that disseminating information strategically and carefully to the media and your key audiences during a crisis or legal proceeding can be essential…
[…] If practice makes perfect, then we should be pretty darn close…

By March 18th the “brand image” was seared into the people’s psyche with the exceptional selling by the media to a public consumer who still cling to the Fourth Estate as having some semblance of honesty.   They were counting on the average person who still think the halls of legacy penthouse media suites contain revered busts of Roger Mudd, Edward R Murrow, or even Walter Cronkite.  In short, the unawakened majority.
Everything, and I do mean everything, that stemmed from after March 5th was, and is, a completely manufactured series of Media Evidence. (more…)

First lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday urged a group of young girls to “stay away from the haters.”

“There’s always going to be haters out there. Don’t focus on that,” she said. “Put the negative things aside, because that’s always going to be there.”
– First Lady Michelle Obama, 2012

For some reason I have a difficult time reconciling this advice about “staying away from haters” when the very person who says it sits in the church pew of this “hater” for twenty, yes twenty, years.

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 †

EXPANDING DEATH THREATS – Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was recently put under police protection after a credible threat was made against him.  The Miami Herald reported:
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is the target of a threat deemed credible enough to merit police protection in Washington, D.C., and at his home in West Miami, his office said late Tuesday.
The freshman senator rocketed to national political stardom in recent weeks as he jumped to the top of the shortlist of potential running mates for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. From CNN to The Daily Show, Rubio has become a staple of cable-news chatter about whether Romney will offer him the spot — and whether he would take it. (more…)

Could it possibly be that SCOTUS is recognizing an increasing need for de-politicization in order to save the Republic?   It appears the Supreme Court is taking a logical constitutional approach and dismissing agenda driven arguments.   Wow, perhaps, just perhaps, they recognize the horrific consequences for the road being travelled, and despite ideologies that may conflict with eachother, they are coming together to actually save a once proud Republic.   A glimmer of hope, maybe…
WASHINGTON DC – Supreme Court justices took a dim view of the Obama administration’s claim that it can stop Arizona from enforcing immigration laws, telling government lawyers during oral argument Wednesday that the state appears to want to push federal officials, not conflict with them.

The court was hearing arguments on Arizona’s immigration crackdown law, which requires police to check the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally, and would also write new state penalties for illegal immigrants who try to apply for jobs.
The Obama administration has sued, arguing that those provisions conflict with the federal government’s role in setting immigration policy, but justices on both sides of the aisle struggled to understand that argument.
“It seems to me the federal government just doesn’t want to know who’s here illegally,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said at one point… (more…)

This is about the fourth one this year, and looks bigger than the footlocker dudes’….. Not only do we need bigger cats, but the treehuggers are grouchy at Mr. Watson for killing it.   Like, seriously?
UK SUN – Brian Watson, 67, was photographed displaying the three-foot-long creature, believed to have been a coypu or swamp beaver.  It was spotted by the boyfriend of Mr Watson’s granddaughter while he was cutting grass on a tractor.

Mr Watson said: “I heard him shouting that there was a giant rat so I came running. I managed to grab some wood.  “It wasn’t very fast because it was that big. I think it was about to drop young ones.  “I managed to kill it there and then. I’ve never seen a rat as big.” (more…)
