They’re trying to flood the field ahead of Thanksgiving, it’s brutally obvious.  This is classic use of “the bathtub principle” at work:

Today IRS reports recovery of 30,000 Lois Lerner emails from ’09 to ’11

Today House Intel “Panel” Releases Benghazi Report

Today Obama gives speech on highly anticipated immigration Executive Order

Today media and nation await Saint Louis Mike Brown shooting verdict. 100 FBI agents dispatched to Ferguson

DOJ Releases 40,000+ Fast and Furious documents (emails)

HHS Admits ObamaCare enrollment overstated.

…”Students should walk out of school when they hear another murdering pig has gone free”…

Mommy, why did the masked man say we needed to murder a pig?
Early in the Ferguson protesting a group of professional communists and antagonists from Chicago arrived on scene to exploit the Mike Brown shooting outrage.

Today within an article highlighting school closings for Monday and Tuesday in/around the Saint Louis/Ferguson area you find the following disturbing mentions:

[…]  School district representatives from several north St. Louis County districts say they’ve been requested by law enforcement to close for two days immediately after the announcement to keep buses and excess traffic off streets in the event of unrest.

Children in Jennings don’t have bus service. Most of them walk, making Anderson even more concerned for their safety.

On Thursday, Anderson said a group of adults wearing masks and claiming to be from Chicago were passing out fliers to students as they walked home along Cozens Avenue. The street has an elementary school, the junior high and high school.

The story of the hotel worker being fired for posting pictures of DHS vehicles inside the garage of a Saint Louis hotel is what’s known as “psy-ops”, or psychological operations.

Key emphasis: the way the story is delivered is psy-ops, not the facts of the event itself.  A key distinction missed by most.
The intent of psy-ops is to influence opinion, subsequently influencing behavior, with a concerted effort of factual twisting to frame a specific version of events.   Conservatives absolutely suck at spotting the use of this tactical messaging method, and consistently fall for it.
It would take a long thesis to explain why conservatively minded people fall for the manipulative use of psychological operations, and liberals do not.  In summary it would come down to conservatives, holding an ideology based on truthful principles, subsequently taking things at face value – whereas Liberal Marxists are comfortable inside a messaging system structurally based on falsehoods and lies, so they are always untrusting.
This is also why progressives ideologies advance, and conservatives stand watching the aftermath with jaw agape.
Psy-ops operations are like cognitive land mines and should be treated as such.  A soldier has to train him/herself to deal with real landmines;  likewise you too need to train yourself to spot them when they appear. (more…)

We have outlined this connection before, including highlighting how the Anonymous OpFerguson group is actually a guy working from his computer in Pakistan.  It is a positive step to see MSM also recognize the connections.  Many of the #Ferguson protesting antagonists, in and around Saint Louis, are wannabe Jihadists.
SAINT LOUIS – Muslim groups have stepped up efforts to co-opt protests over the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., with a drive to equate the teen’s death to the death of a radical Islamist shot during an FBI raid in 2009, a Washington-based security watchdog group is warning.

Using social media, conference calling and traditional outreach methods, leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are portraying Brown and Detroit mosque leader Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah as African-American victims of police targeting, according to the Washington-based Center for Security Policy (CSP).
In a conference call organized by CAIR-linked “Muslims for Ferguson, a CAIR official called Abdullah a “Shaheed,” or martyr, and said both he and Brown were victims of a national security apparatus that had “completely gone wild” and engaged in “demonizing and criminalizing Muslims.” (more…)

LITMUS TEST !!!   Enough is Enough

WESTMINSTER — An unruly public hearing on a proposal to prohibit the sale of tobacco products came to a sudden and rowdy halt Wednesday evening after shouting and clapping opponents of the ban repeatedly refused the chairwoman’s request to come to order.

The ban, proposed by the Board of Health in this Central Massachusetts town, would be the first of its kind in the state. It has led to angry reactions from residents who worry that it will hurt the local economy and allow government too much discretion in controlling private conduct.
“This is about freedom; it’s my body and it’s my choice to smoke,” said Nate Johnson, 32, a Westminster farmer and auto body worker. He was puffing on a cigarette at a rally before the hearing where opponents held signs saying “It’s not about tobacco — it’s about control” and “Smoke ’em if you got them.” (more…)

Follow-up to earlier story HERE –  (CNN) — A Texas teacher was fired Friday, one week after sending racially charged tweets about incidents in Ferguson, Missouri.  Vinita Hegwood said in a statement that she was “reacting to a series of threatening and racist attacks” made against her and her “expressed opinions on Ferguson, Missouri,” when she wrote on November 7, “Who the (expletive) made you dumb (expletive) crackers think I give a squat (expletive) about your opinions. #Ferguson Kill yourselves.”

[…] Hegwood, whom the school district suspended on Monday, submitted her resignation Thursday, accepting responsibility for the tweets that she said were sent “emotionally and impulsively.”

The Duncanville Independent School District’s seven-member board declined to accept her resignation and instead voted to terminate her, district spokeswoman Lari Barager said. (more…)

Ultimately research shows the IRS Targeting Scandal is a series of magnitudes greater than all other Obama scandals. The Federal Department of Justice weaponizing the IRS to go after political enemies within the U.S. electorate is far more serious than any other controversy.
Cleta Mitchell updates on hopes and concerns moving forward:

Not having spent any time researching this issue we’re left to wonder if this is part of the overall “redistribution” objectives of the social engineers.  Your thoughts?
(Via The Verge)  President Obama has come out in support of reclassifying internet service as a utility, a move that would allow the Federal Communications Commission to enforce more robust regulations and protect net neutrality.
“To put these protections in place, I’m asking the FCC to reclassifying internet service under Title II of a law known as the Telecommunications Act,” Obama says in a statement this morning. “In plain English, I’m asking [the FCC] to recognize that for most Americans, the internet has become an essential part of everyday communication and everyday life.” (more…)

This is a follow-up to the earlier story.   The Duncanville Texas School District has suspended Vinita Hegwood, without pay, pending discharge:

Early this morning district officials met with Ms. Hegwood, the teacher who stated reprehensible personal opinions on her personal social media account. The district took swift action and exercised the fullest disciplinary action allowed under district policy. Ms. Hegwood was placed on suspension without pay pending discharge. Under state law, a school district’s Board of Trustees “fires” staff members, and the district will pursue that action with the board soon. In the meantime, the teacher has been placed on suspension without pay pending discharge.

The district wants the community to know that the actions of this one individual does not and should not represent the school district. Every day, two hundred and forty Duncanville High School teachers provide a school environment that fosters academic excellence, good citizenship and respect for others. Teachers give their life’s work to shaping the future, and this one individual does not represent our staff or our district.  (link)

One of the more vocal supporters of the #Ferguson activists is a woman named Vinita Hegwood who uses Twitter under the name “duckseason6”.  She is not only an activist/advocate, but also a proliferate user of social media to advocate for her views.

Some of Ms. Hegwoods views contain some rather offensive and vulgar language which appear below:
