Since we posted this initial thread exposing the manipulation by ABC news in their stolen “expose'” video, the Sanford Police Department has released the “official” copy of the same surviellance footage from the CCTV system from the police station. The official versions carry the “Sanford Police Department” stamp in the upper right corner.
However, various media outlets are not NOTIFYING viewers when they scrub the stolen footage and replace with the “official” footage. More evidence of the media manipulation. *As a note in the “official” footage a “butterfly bandage” is clearly visible on the bridge of the nose of George Zimmerman.*….. /SD
Oh what a tangled web is weaved…..
A police surveillance video obtained by ABC news shows George Zimmerman’s arrival at the police station following the Trayvon Martin shooting. It is being used by people, and manipulated by the media in an apparent attempt to bolster their case that Trayvon did not attack Zimmerman.
Watching the video many Trayvon advocates, and those with a vested interest in selling the Trayvon family story, are saying the video is damning to Zimmerman because they cannot make out any significant injuries to his face or back of his head.
However, there is something more evident, and far more damning, in the video than most observers are focusing on. A BFD (I’ll explain after the video).

(WisTV – SC)COLUMBIA, – Prosecutors say the brutal beating of a teenager last week in Columbia’s Five Points doesn’t appear to have been racially motivated, but the U.S. attorney is still reviewing the case.
Fifth Circuit Solicitor Dan Johnson, who will prosecute the eight people charged with attacking 18-year-old Carter Strange on June 20 before leaving him for dead, said no evidence suggests the beating was racially motivated other than the race of the people involved. Strange is white; the eight suspects are black. (more…)
Jesse Jackson Continues To Exploit Florida Tragedy For Personal Gain, Tells Church Trayvon Martin Is a “Martyr” – (USA Today) — Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson told people at a church in Eatonville, Fla., on Sunday that slain teen Trayvon Martin is a “martyr,” the Orlando Sentinel reports.
“Martyrs have power,” Jackson said of the unarmed black 17-year-old who was shot dead Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., by a neighborhood watch volunteer who deemed him suspicious and who police describe as white.
“He represents all of us,” Jackson said of Trayvon. (more…)
Maybe it’s because Barack H Obama grew up around radicals. Or maybe it’s because graduate student Baracka Obama chose the path of community organizing. Or maybe it’s because, as some have claimed, President Obama is an ego driven short-sighted narcissistic personality. Who knows.
But one thing is unfortunately certain, by choosing to wade into the controversy of black teenager Trayvon Mitchell vs. hispanic neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, President Obama might just have naively lit the fuse on another Reginald Denny moment. (more…)
Take a look into the future of a society wrestling with the results of Obamanomics. Today it may be black market Tide, but it’s not too hard to imagine where this could lead. First they came for the spray paint, then the flu medications…now they want to lock down my Tide?
(Daily.com)…Law enforcement officials across the country are puzzled over a crime wave targeting an unlikely item: Tide laundry detergent. Theft of Tide detergent has become so rampant that authorities from New York to Oregon are keeping tabs on the soap spree, and some cities are setting up special task forces to stop it. And retailers like CVS are taking special security precautions to lock down the liquid. (more…)
(*update for clarity) I’m not saying below that Team Obama has orchastrated the entire construct of the Joseph Krony story line. What I am saying is that they are strategically taking political opportunity with it.
I hate it when I’m deeply involved in a complex drama movie and then “whammo” the entire ending just comes to mind. Nothing is more frustrating in movie enjoyment than the moment when your brain fires on all synapses and you recognize the inevitable outcome of the storyline you are watching. Frustrating because there’s still 30 minutes left in the film. Frustrating not only for me, but for my wife who thumps me on the shoulder each time and says “you ruined it for me again“, “why did you have to tell me”?
Sometimes it just becomes clear. This is one of those times.
The killing or capture of Joseph Kony is lefty/new media/Hollywood loving Obama’s Bin Laden sequel 2.0, set to roll out this summer to adoring fans and followers of the “Gutsy Caller” in Chief. Coming soon to a New York Times and small-screen near you. The previews are Brilliant. Just Brilliant. (more…)
As expected in the following Treehouse posts:
- Enter The Dragon – Putin positions himself for massive global influence, including the Middle East. Iran, China, Turkey coalition
- The New Cool Dark Overlord of Communism – The resurgence and marketing plan of Vladimir Putin similar to Obama’s hope and change.
- Putin Calls America a “Parasite” – The New Beginning
- Russian Academics Freaked Out About Putin – Russian people begin to realize what might happen.
MOSCOW – Vladimir Putin claimed victory in Russia’s presidential election before tens of thousands of cheering supporters Sunday, even as the opposition and independent observers insisted the vote had been marred by widespread fraud.
At a massive rally just outside the Kremlin, Putin thanked his supporters for helping foil plots aimed at destroying Russia, sounding a nationalistic theme that has resonated with the prime minister’s core supporters amid a wave of unprecedented protests.
“I have promised that we would win and we have won!” he shouted to the flag-waving crowd, which responded with shouts of support. “We have won in an open and honest struggle.” (more…)
This is a big development in the potential defeat of Syria’s Assad. Hamas and Assad have been strategic allies and friends in ideology for a long time. Hamas even hid their terrorists inside Syria with the help of Assad and has been aided with multiple arms shipments for years. For Syria to publically back the revolt against Assad puts further credibility to the concern that al-qaeda elements, and radical islamists are at the heart of the uprising, or at the very least taking significant advantage of it.
CAIRO/GAZA, Feb 24 (Reuters) – Leaders of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas turned publicly against their long-time ally President Bashar al-Assad of Syria on Friday, endorsing the revolt aimed at overthrowing his dynastic rule.
The policy shift deprives Assad of one of his few remaining Sunni Muslim supporters in the Arab world and deepens his international isolation. It was announced in Hamas speeches at Friday prayers inCairo and a rally in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas went public after nearly a year of equivocating as Assad’s army, largely led by fellow members of the president’s Alawite sect, has crushed mainly Sunni protesters and rebels. (more…)
Good News / Bad News….. The good news is that horrifically biased and discriminatory affirmative action rules may finally be struck down. The bad news is that this case will automatically inject race into the public discourse right before the election. As if Obama needs any more help with his race based re-election effort.
WASHINGTON — Affirmative action is heading back to the Supreme Court, and this time its prospects for survival are poorer than ever.
The Court announced on Tuesday that it has agreed to hear a challenge to the University of Texas’ affirmative action program, which is used in sorting through applications after the automatic admission of all in-state applicants who graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class.

There is a similarity between the rebel factions that sprung up in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and now Syria. In this recent video release from The FSA (Free Syrian Army) the connection is evident. They are proudly displaying the flag of al-Qaeda. This should give urgent pause to any cries of arming a Syrian rebellion; alas I hold no confidence we will do anything different.
But watch the progressive left continue to sell the narrative of a poor freedom rebellion just like they did in Egypt and in Libya, only to see the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and a Sharia-compliant governance model. Highlighting once again the shortsighted Obama policy that has given rise to radical islamists around the Middle East.
(via al-Wasat) This past Thursday, on February 16, a group of around twenty individuals claiming to be part of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), released a video message to YouTube announcing the formation of a new battalion named the al-Bara’ ibn Malik Martyrs Brigade.
It should be noted that during the Iraq war, al-Qa’ida in Iraq (AQI) also named one of their battalions the al-Bara’ ibn Malik Martyrs Brigade. There is no definitive proof that the new battalion established by the FSA is connected with the old al-Qa’ida in Iraq networks. That said, one should be cognizant of the expansive facilitation networks there were for foreign fighters attempting to join the Iraq jihad in Syria. (more…)
