Is this a setback to freedom?  Yes.   Is this unexpected?  No.

We have shared from the beginning that ‘These people were not going to give up’ – They simply are in too deep and unable to retreat.  From the outset of the “case” against George Zimmerman a few things were brutally obvious.

First, from a legal perspective, there was no merit, nor evidence, to prosecute George Zimmerman.   The same evidence that existed on March 16th, and again on March 23rd, when it was announced by Police Chief Bill Lee and Detective Serino that “no evidence to refute Mr. Zimmerman’s self defense claim is available”, is still retained today.

Not one scintilla of evidence has surfaced from that date.    The evidence against George Zimmerman is non-existent.   Yet he was still charged to appease the race-baiting and perpetually aggrieved sub-sects of political interests.   The case against George Zimmerman is entirely political.

So why would a politically appointed judge remove himself?   He wouldn’t.

As the Orlando Sentinel notes in their story of the non-recusal:

In a bond order, Lester described Zimmerman as a manipulator who was gaming the criminal justice system by hiding $130,000 and keeping a secret passport.

The judge wrote in that earlier order that if not for a satellite monitoring system keeping track of his whereabouts, Zimmerman might well have fled.

Neither of these propaganda opinions are supported by facts.  They scream bias;  However, they were then, as they are now, opinionated talking points that enjoy consistent media-hype and manipulative use. (more…)

The same cannot be said….

Recently we were advised of a group of well-funded lawyerly types mining research information for various clients (assumed) regarding intentional falsehoods (lies) in the media and the people who sell them.  People often cite there are too many lawyers with too much free time.   ……Perhaps something good is going to come out of this Trayvon tragedy once and for all.

Those of you who have followed the story know the TreeHouse interest in the Trayvon Martin shooting had, and has, little to do with George Zimmerman.   Actually, the primary interest that hit our radar screen was how the blatantly false construct of racism was developed, coordinated and then injected into the media narrative.

That specific false narrative peaked interest because less than 10 minutes with a laptop and a few google searches clearly identified the same result the FBI came up with after spending thousands of hours.  Which is to say,  regarding racism and George Zimmerman, there simply is no “there” there…..  The racist construct blown up by the media throughout March was 100% fabricated.    Total phony bologna.

But why?   And more importantly for current intents, by whom?   Who created the term “white-Hispanic” and who willingly sold that racist narrative which has now been identified to have killed at least two people, and led to the physical assault of dozens more under the screaming banner of: “Justice for Trayvon”.  (*Note the FOIA requests for 911 call records to Norfolk Virginia in the Virginia-Pilot case are still pending) 

We noted very early on it would be easy to see the first layer of deception when we identified a known entity who appeared on the radar before.   A media consultant named Ryan Julison of Julison Communications.    Julison was/is a man looking to build a bigger brand image and increase his credibility, so we knew it was going to be a simple process of watching his bragging to identify the first circle of media corruption, a la ABC’s Matt Gutman who was well-known to be a major story-teller;  “story” being the operative word.

It has become well established that the Corporate Media, as it exists today, no longer focuses on objective “reporting”, but serves solely as a high priced conduit for editorializing a particular point of view or Agenda.  Even the “News” pages are mere fig leaves for proselytizing the mantra that is au courant.

A recent example of this egregious behavior is in the rush by the Progressive Left to politicize the shooting in Aurora, CO as the work of the “Tea Party”.  Disingenuously,   Brian Ross of ABC News “reported” (/sarc/) that the alleged shooter was a “Tea Party” member, and nationally “outed” on live camera a local resident and Tea Party activist.

Except that Brian Ross was wrong.  Very, very wrong.  And if he knew – he didn’t care – he rushed to live camera to breathlessly report what was an acute error.  And hopefully – a very expensive one for ABC News.

There is no “correction“, no “mea culpa” that can help you recover from that.  Once again, the Corporate Media was unmasked as not a “News” agency, but as a Propaganda Outlet.

Want to know why Newsweek was sold for a $1?  Why Microsoft disentangled itself from the failing MSNBC franchise?  Why the head of the flailing CNN stepped down?  Why do many local convenience stores no longer even stock the “newspapers”? (more…)

The frustrating thing from my truthseeker perspective is the seeming unwillingness of the media sorts to ask the obvious question:   Why change attorneys between the arrest/bonding ($1000) hearing and the plea?   What happened?

HatTip arkansasmimi  ORLANDO – Shellie Zimmerman says she’s not guilty of perjury.  Her new attorney, Kelly B. Sims, today filed paperwork, entering that plea on her behalf. That means that she won’t have to show up at the Seminole County criminal building Tuesday for arraignment.

Zimmerman, 25, is accused of lying when she told Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr., while under oath, that she and her husband were broke.

At the time, prosecutors allege they had ready access to $130,000, money donated by supporters of her husband, murder defendant George Zimmerman.

Friday was the first time Sims, a board-certified criminal-trial specialist, was identified as Shellie Zimmerman’s lawyer. The Orlando attorney has been practicing in Florida for more than 20 years and has worked on high-profile cases in the past. (more…)
