For people who have watched this “new-normal” process play out before the footprints of retreat are obvious. For others this might be their first experience.

From the outset of the Mike Brown shooting there has existed a familiar pattern, an inauthentic pattern. Eventually the nature of constructed falsehoods reach a point where: a.) the usefulness expires, and, b,) the empirical facts belay the claims.

The concentric circles of hatred flow out as a natural outcome of dropping a divisive rock into a pool of ideology.  The ripple effects flow out, often with unintended consequences and all too often out of control.
The problem with intended division is that it’s sometimes difficult to contain. Protests can quickly become riots, looting, long-term anger, flag burning and worse.
Author Jack Cashill aptly used a phrase “transparently innocent” to describe a new Obama era useful victim.
Historically, useful victims have always been transparently guilty people who the left could defend.   However, in the modern Obama era – a useful victim is innocent of the accusations, transparently so, but must be made to look guilty for the left to advance a goal of division. (more…)

Potentially good news.
Despite the fact Hannah Graham’s body has been located – apparently Virginia Law Enforcement are going to continue a search grid around the area of Walnut Creek Park and, more importantly, the surrounding geography where suspect Jesse Matthew grew up and held considerable familiarity.
State and local law enforcement have set up a command center at the recreation facility inside Walnut Creek Park approximately 3 miles (by road) from the location where Hannah Graham’s body was found. Less than a mile as the crow flies.
Here are some updated maps, pictures, and aerial photographs to help orient you to the geography in question. Starting with the location of where Hannah Graham’s body was discovered behind a vacant house at 3193 Old Lynchburg Road, North Garden, VA. (more…)

After coming to the reality the Kurds were going to hold the city at all costs the Pentagon appears to be trying to save face. After reading many of the reports from the region it appears the political strategy of the White House is also coming clear.

In order to protect themselves from the natural questions which would flow from President Obama and President Erdogan’s prior position of refusing aide for the Kurds in Kobane – the White House needs a political explanation. My hunch is you’ll hear the White House claim they were intentionally luring ISIS into amassing around Kobane so they could target the enemy in one centrally located area. In addition, the ploy -per se- will be sold as pinning ISIS to a singular geography and then targeting their resupply efforts.
Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket.
It’s an explanation just like the White House intentionally drawing the Syrian WMD “red line” because Secretary Kerry knew Russia would step in to take charge of removing the Assad WMD stockpiles. Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket.

Unfortunately we nailed it:

Police Chief Longo gave a press conference today to announce that 18-year-old UVA student Hannah Graham has been located.  It took 35 days, thousands of hours of volunteers.
Female human remains were identified by a Chesterfield Sheriff’s search party near an abandoned property along Old Lynchburg Road near Walnut Creek Park Virginia.  South Albermarle County.

The body is located in an abandoned property, possibly an abandoned structure, near Red Hill Road and Old Lynchburg Road which is in the vicinity of Walnut Creek Park.
Hannah’s body has been found approximately 5 miles from the location of 2009 victim Morgan Harrington.  Suspect Jesse Matthew formerly lived this area.  In addition his mother still lives in this area.

In the final analysis the evidence within the details of the Mike Brown shooting support only one version of events, the factual version.

All other claims are like a manufactured ball of rubber bands, where each false claim espoused to the media is represented by another single band wrapped on top of the bands that preceded it.

Unravelling the concentric circles of manufactured lies, which create the individual bands, is exhausting.  Unfortunately, we have watched this and participated in the unfolding on more than one occasion.
Just like the Trayvon Martin shooting in 2012 the Mike Brown shooting in 2014 was a constructed media narrative by people, groups and exploiters seeking financial benefit from a manufactured story.
The professionally black grievance industry, and those who derive financial benefit within it, rely on their audience being black first and analytical far down the list. Black is useful, inquiry is not. (more…)

(Salty language alert toward end)

Maybe she’s on a Caribbean cruise?  Or, maybe, just maybe, she’s a stand in for Steven Tyler at an Aerosmith reunion?… Anyone?

WASHINGTON DC – Earlier this week, Sen. John McCain called for an Ebola czar, not knowing one already effectively exists. Why should he, since Nicole Lurie, M.D., M.S.P.H., has been completely M.I.A.
You have to wonder sometimes if anyone in a leadership position in the Obama administration bothers to show up to work these days.
Case in point is Dr. Nicole Lurie, who arguably should be front and center in planning for and responding to the Ebola outbreak.
After all, it’s right there in her job title. She’s the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, a position created in the wake of Hurricane Katrina that reports directly to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Her mission, according to the HHS website, is “to lead the nation in preventing, responding to and recovering from the adverse health effects of public health emergencies.”
Lead? Well, maybe she’s leading from behind, because Lurie’s been nowhere to be found since Ebola showed up on U.S. soil. (more…)

With zero experience in healthcare, disease controls or medical best practices, Ron Klain is appointed by President Obama to lead the Ebola Crisis Team.  Hey, it’s not all that bad – he could have chosen Ben Affleck…
WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday turned to a trusted adviser to lead the nation’s Ebola response as efforts to clamp down on any possible route of infection from three Texas cases expanded, reaching a cruise ship at sea and multiple airline flights.

Facing renewed criticism of his handling of the Ebola risk, Obama will make Ron Klain, a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, his point man on fighting Ebola at home and in West Africa. Klain will report to national security adviser Susan Rice and to homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco, the White House said. (more…)

Trying to cut through the fog and chatter it appears the Carnival Magic cruise ship has been denied entry to Mexico.

Cruise ship with isolated health care worker who handled Ebola samples was turned away from Mexico: http://t.co/JspTA2nLpk

….And therein lies the reason for governmental obfuscation and media avoidance of the entire episode.
The political risk is obvious.
Both Belize, and now Mexico, have denied entry for a U.S. cruise ship carrying a healthcare worker who treated Patient Zero Thomas Duncan – yet U.S. President Obama refuses to shut down inbound air passengers from West Africa.
If you take the situation at face value the political argument is that Obama cares less for the risk of his citizenry than the Prime Minister of Belize and the President of Mexico.
The position of Mexico and Belize undermines the position of President Obama.
So what’s going on?
The U.S. government, and Carnival Cruise lines, are stating the cruise passenger, and her husband, are self-quarantined and exhibiting no symptoms. The Belize government has stated a divergent set of facts, at least initially.  Belize was saying the cruise passenger WAS exhibiting Ebola symptoms. (more…)
