Communists believe in the government owning the business/liberty of citizens. Socialists believe the government should control the business/liberty of citizens. The difference is merely the length of chain in the shackles which confine.
However, the Fascists, well, they are the ones who determine how many links are permitted in the chains.
Today, July 8th, is DAY #20 (of 5th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
The State wrapped up their case last Friday and the first two defense witnesses took the stand. George Zimmerman’s mom, Gladys, and his uncle, Jorge, both testified it was George screaming for help on the 911 tapes. A good analysis of the events from last week and the failed JOA is available HERE:
Against the backdrop of a really weak prosecutorial case filled with lies, deception and outright fraud, the Defense begins today. From the outset of our research, over 15+ months ago, we have asserted this is not a legal case. Far from it, the reality is, as we have outlined continuously, the State V. Zimmerman case is a “political case”. (more…)
Did Teresa Heinz Kerry just get the Ron Brown treatment? Hmmm?

WASHINGTON DC – When it comes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which isn’t so much a Court unto itself as it is a rotating group of Federal Judges appointed to hear warrant requests and other matter designated as appropriate for secret proceedings under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, there’s nobody more powerful than Chief Justice John Roberts:
The 11 FISA judges, chosen from throughout the federal bench for seven-year terms, are all appointed by the chief justice. In fact, every FISA judge currently serving was appointed by Roberts, who will continue making such appointments until he retires or dies. FISA judges don’t need confirmation — by Congress or anyone else. (more…)
Benjamin Crump is being deposed today -actually, right now- With that in mind here are two videos that everyone may enjoy watching and refreshing. It would appear the loss of the JOA was final decision making aspect which pushed O’Mara into actually doing the deposition.
The first one should be labeled ….”the plan was”:
The second is the conversation with, (the hiding in the closet excuse to cover-up different sounding voice), “DeeDee” who may, or may not, be Rachel Jeantel (W8)

This is beyond hilarious. After spending over a year hand-in-hand with President Morsi, now egg-faced President Obama tries to say he was never an advocate of the radical Islamist. What’s next? Denying his pal Erdogan too?
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Saturday reiterated that the US is not aligned with and is not supporting any particular Egyptian political party or group and again condemned the ongoing violence across Egypt.
Obama made those points during a telephone conference with the National Security Council about developments in Egypt, according to a statement issued by the White House. He was spending the weekend at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
“The United States categorically rejects the false claims propagated by some in Egypt that we are working with specific political parties or movements to dictate how Egypt’s transition should proceed,” the White House statement said. “We remain committed to the Egyptian people and their aspirations for democracy, economy opportunity and dignity. But the future path of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people.”
The state wrapped up and the defense began. It was reflective of the state’s case they ended with the most convoluted mixed up, double-speaking and ridiculous testimony from a Medical Examiner in the history of all presentations.
Lost, despite the media attempting rapid recovery, was any thought of Sybrina “Trademark” Fulton, and her exploitive endeavor to emote sympathy for her financial endeavors on the back of a deceased son she barely knew. Instead the State wrapped having to try and put into evidence the fact a victim was actually deceased. Yeah, that’s right, the last thing they brought to evidence was the person who would affirm that Trayvon Martin was indeed dead.
Gladys Zimmerman and her younger brother, George’s uncle, Jorge Meza, delivered a stern rebuke. Impactful because it was delivered in the full righteousness of sunlight. Truthful testimony to begin the defense position. Quite a contrast from the selfish testimony by those who seek only financial benefit from the consequence of a part-time parenting experiment.
Over the last year some people have begun to see the tip of the iceberg regarding the True motivations of Sybrina Fulton, aka TrayMom™. Perhaps a revisit to the known financial agenda of the circle surrounding Trayvon Martin will help those new to discovery.
Last year a news article via Associate Press , who submitted one of the few media generated public records requests in the story, showed the Scheme Team was even pursuing taxpayer money via a Crime Victims relief fund. One of the aspects of this discovery was an unnerving revelation that State Attorney Pam Bondi’s office approved payments for Sybrina Fulton before George Zimmerman was even arrested.
(via ABC) The documents, obtained through a public records request, show Sybrina Fulton applied for the compensation benefits after her son was fatally shot last February by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. It was not immediately clear how Martin’s family would use the money.
The state Attorney General’s Office, which administers the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund, refused to disclose the sum sought by Fulton and her former husband, Tracy Martin. […]
In a March 29, [2012] letter, a claims analyst with the Attorney General’s Office notified Fulton that she had been deemed eligible for the compensation benefits. However, no check had been issued to Martin’s parents as of early August.
Fulton hasn’t had time to fill out the paperwork needed to process the claim, said Ben Crump, an attorney for Martin’s parents. She didn’t want to disclose how much she was applying for and what expenses the money would cover, Crump said. (read more)
Obviously this raises a few questions. Questions we already know the answers to:
How could Sybrina Fulton be approved for a crime victims relief fund (March 29th) prior to anyone identifying whether a crime was committed? George Zimmerman was not arrested until April 11th.
The answer is simply political influence via Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. (more…)
Today, July 5th, is DAY #19 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
The State is expected to wrap up their case today – A great recap of the trial so far is available HERE: The key witness today expected to be Sybrina Fulton, mom.
Great Expectations? Remember, as y’all have noted during the 15+ months of research, there is so much corruption in the assembly of this case we could expect the State to avoid the traditional witnesses brought by normal prosecutions. We have not been disappointed in our predictions. The state has already won a pre-trial motion to bar the defense mentioning the absence of any witness from the State’s case. (more…)
