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.

We appreciate your consideration and support.

All donations help keep the site research going, FOIA requests submitted, and disinfecting sunlight upon the shadow dwellers. Thank you sincerely for your support.

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…)

“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler

Last year was a leap year, so in order to continue similarity in date comparisons between last year and this year today’s post will cover both Feb 29th and March 1st 2012.

February 29th 2012 was a Wednesday and March 1st was a Thursday.   On Wednesday of last year, Trayvon’s body was picked up by Fort Lauderdale funeral director Richard Kurtz and transported back to Miami-Dade.   [The viewing and funeral services were held Friday night and Saturday respectively.]

Kurtz became a factor in the Scheme Team narrative by falsely claiming Trayvon’s body showed no visible signs of a struggle.   We outlined the entire false story and his reasoning for false statements to the media here.

Apparently these early days Feb 29th, March 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, were used by the Scheme Team to organize the media campaign – and coordinate the strategy that would follow. (more…)

February 28th 2012 was a Tuesday, the day following Tracy Martin finding out Trayvon was shot and killed, and the day after he notified Sybrina – who stayed in Fort Lauderdale until March 8th.

Tuesday February 28th was also the first visit for Tracy Martin and Brandy Green to the Sanford Police Dept. for an interview and to make arrangements for Trayvon’s body to be transported back to Miami-Dade.

It was during this initial interview and discussion with Sanford PD that Tracy Martin initially listened to the 911 calls and told Detective Serino the voice crying out for help was NOT Trayvon.   As we now know, through deposition discovery, this conversation, and Tracy’s denial of the voice, was overheard by other members of the Police Dept.

However, we have been puzzled as to why no-one ever inquired about that denial with Brandy Green who was with Tracy at the police station.   Wouldn’t she confirm as such?  Has she been, or is she scheduled to be, deposed?

It was also on this day, according to initial family reports, that Tracy reached out to his “sister-in-law, Patricia Jones”,  for legal references surrounding the case.   As the story goes, and as we have outlined based on this story, Tracy called his sister-in-law and she then put him in touch with Benjamin Crump and Daryl Parks.

Update pic at bottom – Arkansasmimi found another variety “Drank” in her neck of the woods.  🙁     Sheeesh…  talk about advancing a lifestyle through marketing.

Treeper Texastoolman found this in a convenience store in Texas.   Actually remarkable when you think about it.   Obviously the “target audience” would be those who know what “Purple Lean” is actually all about – But it got me to thinking would the average person, or parent, even have a clue what this is for and the actual product story?

Prior to researching the Trayvon Martin background  we would never have known what this product was meant to infer.    Obviously the marketing folks behind the product know. (more…)

February 27th 2012 was a Monday, the day after Trayvon Martin was shot and killed Sunday Night February 26th.

We know that Tracy Martin woke up, Trayvon was not at home, and having stated he turned his phone off overnight he then told his girlfriend Brandi Green to call her network within law enforcement and see if Trayvon was arrested or could be located.

So let’s reconstruct the day based on what was initially told to the media and contrast against what was factually true.   We know Tracy claimed to the initial police contact that he last saw Travon at around 8:30pm on Sunday night – obviously this was a lie because Trayvon was dead at that time.   This is the day Serino came to see Tracy and identified the body via Tracy’s cell phone picture and a picture from the coroner.

This is also the day the Orlando Fox affiliate happened upon the scene around 5pm and encountered Brandy and Tracy walking through the complex.   Brandy proclaims “he was sitting on the porch”.    The video still probably exists – but most of the u-tube versions are no longer around.
