This takes the Ferguson cake.   Buried inside a catch-up story by the LA Times, who are missing out on the Mike Brown shooting scoops, is a trail that leads to the Feds providing details of the investigation to an editor of The Saint Louis American, Chris King. The Saint Louis American is African American News-Media. (Similar to The Grio)  
King refuses to use the sourced information (about the factual evidence in the case) because his audience is black and the evidence does not support Mike Brown.  In essence he feared the audience backlash, ie. “coward”.
Chris King is white, his wife black and his audience primarily African American.  Obviously the investigation details he was privy to (a month ago) all support Officer Darren Wilson and therefore would not please his audience.  You might also enjoy reading his twitter feed since he’s been called out.  He is redefining what it means to be obtuse with denials and avoidance.  
Secondly, note how the “Federal Sources” for the LA Times are “unnamed”; despite the fact they claim to be quoting a “spokeswoman” they don’t provide a name as such.  That’s because this supposed anxiety from the feds is faux-outrage.  The feds, or more specifically the DOJ/CRS are the ones providing the leaks.  Also important, notice too the example they use for what upsets them.  It is not the current leaks and releases, but rather the previous release of the Ferguson Liquor Mart CCTV from Ferguson PD.

“Justice Department condemns Ferguson leaks as effort to influence opinion”

(LA Times) With a grand jury decision looming on whether a white police officer should face charges in the killing of an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., the investigation has sprung a few leaks.. (more…)

Key Takeaways:

…”sources said blood spatter evidence shows that Brown was heading toward the officer during their face-off, but analysis of the evidence did not reveal how fast Brown was moving”…

…”Seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account, but none of them have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety”…

As expected the next media outlet to release details focuses on the witnesses.

LEAK 1.) The New York Times focused on the “evidence” and federal (DOJ) interpretation of what it means. LEAK 2.) The Saint Louis Dispatch gave Wilson’s account and how that evidence supported the contentions. LEAK 3.) The official autopsy of Mike Brown and the alignment with forensic evidence and Wilson’s account.


Now, today… LEAK #4)  Seven to Eight black eye-witnesses in Canfield Greens Apartment complex who saw what happened and spoke to the Grand Jury and corroborated Wilson’s version. Those eye-witnesses are fearful because of the BLACK MOB who would retaliate for telling the truth. (more…)

The official autopsy on Michael Brown shows that he was shot in the hand at close range, according to an analysis of the findings by two experts not involved directly in the case.
The accompanying toxicology report shows he had been using marijuana.  (link)

Everyone should try to learn the warning signs, and avoid the familiar pattern of attack…
NEW YORK – Police are looking for three suspects who attacked a 21-year-old woman on a Brooklyn street earlier this month, breaking her nose and dragging her on the sidewalk before robbing her and running off.

Surveillance video shows three suspects walking on Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights Oct. 2 as the victim comes into the camera view from the opposite direction. As she walks past them, one suspect turns his head while another appears to grab her around the neck and slam her against the wall of a building. (more…)

The retreat continues…. Hopefully everyone is noticing the DOJ phased approach. Remember the federal DOJ/CRS is in charge of the activity on the ground in Ferguson and Saint Louis. All strategic arrests come pre-approved and fully supported.
FERGUSON, MO (KTVI) – State senator Jamilah Nasheed has been arrested Monday night in Ferguson.

It’s understandable the family of Mike Brown doesn’t fully digest who and why information is leaking to the media from inside the “federal” investigation.  The CRS is working on an exit strategy – to the family, the prior DOJ alignment is a challenging reconciliation against the backdrop of the DOJ/CRS walk-back. 
This perspective is confirmed today by the former Police Chief:

FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) – Information about the Michael Brown fatal police shooting is starting to leak out, and former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch says it’s no accident the feds are allowing the information.

A New York Times article indicates, according to federal investigators, there was a struggle that led up to the fatal police shooting of Brown.

Fitch calls the information from the investigation coming out as phase two – to “coordinate leaks to the media, and to start getting some of the facts out there to kind of let people down slowly,” he says. “When I say this is phase two – phase one was really Eric Holder’s announcement how they were going to basically do a complete review and take over the Ferguson Police Department.” (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.

When you write articles no-one reads; produce news shows no-one watches; pontificate opinion no-one else holds; you end up in a downward spiral. CNN downsizing now faces the ire of the BGI.
(Via Daily Caller) The brawl between CNN and a black media group just got nastier.

In a statement released early Saturday morning, Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) said the recent cuts at Time Warner are “troubling.” Specifically, though, its layoffs of African Americans in senior and executive roles at CNN, the company’s flagship news organization, that are particularly “concerning” for her.
Her statement comes on the heels of a few weeks of rough relations between CNN and the National Association of Black Journalists. Last week, NABJ condemned the practices toward black employees at CNN. This week, CNN supposedly pulled funding requested by NABJ for a jobs fair. According to Politico, CNN disputes that it has reached any final conclusions on the matter and that funding has not definitively been pulled. (read more)
