(By:  Jack Cashill)  The headline of the Orlando Sentinel on March 5 introduced a harsh note of  reality into the darkly comic opera the major media have been spinning around  the death of Trayvon Martin, “Lawyer: State’s main witness in George Zimmerman  murder case lied.”

That witness, Witness No. 8, Trayvon’s alleged 16-year-old sweetheart “Dee  Dee,” captivated the media when the story surfaced on March 20, 2012.

CNN covered it live. Anchor Kyra Phillips enthused about the “chilling new  perspective” added to the case by the testimony of this heartsick girl who was  on the phone with Trayvon when he was shot by George Zimmerman.

Phillips then introduced CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin.  Hostin had spoken  with a Martin family attorney and shared with the CNN audience what he had  learned. (more…)

What it’s like to live in the land of the perpetually aggrieved

[excerpt from PhillyMag.com]  I’ve shared my view of North Broad Street with people—white friends and colleagues—who see something else there: New buildings. Progress. Gentrification. They’re sunny about the area around Temple. I think they’re blind, that they’ve stopped looking. Indeed, I’ve begun to think that most white people stopped looking around at large segments of our city, at our poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods, a long time ago. One of the reasons, plainly put, is queasiness over race. Many of those neighborhoods are predominantly African-American. And if you’re white, you don’t merely avoid them—you do your best to erase them from your thoughts.

At the same time, white Philadelphians think a great deal about race. Begin to talk to people, and it’s clear it’s a dominant motif in and around our city. Everyone seems to have a story, often an uncomfortable story, about how white and black people relate. (more…)

Summary:  No we haven’t done it, but we could, and if needed – we might.

The Media Is *BEGINNING* To Sniff The Lying Blood In The Water

REPORT: Trayvon Martin's girlfriend lied… http://t.co/9BzP9oKxzs

ORLANDO – […] Attorneys for George Zimmerman were expected to ask his judge this morning to order the state’s most important witness, the young Miami woman who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin just before he was shot, to produce medical records.

However, defense lawyer Don West made a startling claim shortly after the hearing began: The state had revealed, before the hearing, that there are no medical records.

The woman, the defense lawyer said, “misrepresented” in a sworn statement that she missed Trayvon’s funeral because she had been hospitalized.

“In fact, she lied,” West said.

Prosecutor John Guy confirmed there will be no medical records, effectively confirming that there was no hospital trip. (more…)

Update:  Correction because it was not a nursing home.  Also, a new report shows the woman had a DNR of some sort, but the DNR was unknown to the facility caregiver until after the event described below.  Does that change the decision not to provide care?

What the flip is wrong with people?    Seriously?   An elderly woman in an nursing home, assisted living facility collapses from a heart attack.   The caregiver states it is against company policy to help her by providing CPR – the 911 Operator is begging her, anyone, to help her.

No-one does !

A 911 dispatcher pleaded with a nurse at a Bakersfield, Calif., senior living facility to save the life of an elderly woman by giving her CPR, but the nurse said policy did not allow her to, according to a newly released audiotape of the call.

“Is there anybody there that’s willing to help this lady and not let her die?” the dispatcher asked in a recording of the 911 call released by the Bakersfield Fire Department.

“Not at this time,” the nurse said. (more…)

Some may ignore – But we ask the same questions again, and again.   Why do they need these?   – This is beyond Creepy – Who is the DHS going to war against? 

The Federal Government ordered almost 2 billion rounds of ammunition.   They ordered targets looking like average armed citizens.  They are conducting military style exercises in urban areas.  North Carolina police say they are practicing for martial law.  

Now this…… 

Via Modern Survival Blog – The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.

Although I’ve seen and read several online blurbs about this vehicle of late, I decided to dig slightly deeper and discover more about the vehicle itself. (more…)

This story is so alarming, so unnerving, and so troubling I don’t even want to copy the text or graphics.   But the only way to defeat EVIL is to confront its whisper, boldly.

Suffice to say this story is comparable to Kit Durant murder, only worse – if that is possible, which, at this point, I never thought would be, yet is.

New York Mom Murdered by Smirking Son – The Story is HERE

Wall Street Journal – In medical isolation in South Texas, 100 miles or so from Mexico’s border, is a man who embodies one of U.S. health officials’ greatest worries: He is the first person to cross and be held in detention while infected with one of the most severe types of drug-resistant tuberculosis known today.

His three-month odyssey through 13 countries—from his homeland of Nepal through South Asia, Brazil, Mexico, and finally into Texas—shows the way in which dangerous new strains of the disease can migrate across the world unchecked. (more…)

Update – THANKS EVERYONE !   Treepers are awesome !   We were able to raise enough to cover the most important three FOIA’s we needed.   [fyi, it is anticipated that those will be shared in password protected posts – Hence the earlier test]

Thanks again – to everyone.   Wolverines !!  

After a six month exhausting legal fight, at considerable cost, we have won a significant victory in the search for truth.  Unfortunately, the battle was costly not only in our time, but also in real financial terms, and has exhausted our research/sunlight fund.   We are asking for your help:   Here is an example of a typical bill for one *very important* FOIA

(there are six such currently approved, and 8 pending)

If you find value in your visits to the Last Refuge, perhaps you would consider a contribution of financial support. To help keep our research alive, and maintain the spotlight on the truth.

Last year March 2nd and 3rd were Friday and Saturday. On Friday night March 2nd the Trayvon Martin Funeral Viewing was held, and on Saturday March 3rd the internment (burial) took place.

There are multiple issues surrounding Witness #8 (DeeDee) and her appearance, or lack thereof, at the funeral services.

In some reports and personal statements by persons related to the family she was there. However, in the official *story* presented by Benjamin Crump on March 20th DeeDee was in the hospital because she was too distraught to attend. (more…)
