This is about as big an effen’ deal as big effen’ deals can be. 

You might remember that John “Skippy” Podesta was inserted by Hillary Clinton into the White House when she left the State Department.  Podesta was put in place to protect Hillary’s interests.
Podesta recently left the White House to focus again on her campaign, and hosted the media at a dinner party.   However, now it surfaces that his firm lobbied the State Department while Hillary was Secretary of State.  Yeah, that’s just about the final straw in the scandal wagon.
(via Daily Caller) Chalk it up to a small world or to a tangled web, but Uranium One, the Russian-owned uranium mining company at the center of a recent scandal involving the Clintons and a close Canadian business partner, has lobbied the State Department through a firm co-founded by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman.
Senate records show that The Podesta Group has lobbied the State Department on behalf of Uranium One — once in 2012, when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, and once in 2015.
Uranium One paid The Podesta Group $40,000 to lobby the State Department, the Senate, the National Park Service and the National Security Council for “international mining projects,” according to a July 20, 2012 filing.
Clinton left the State Department on Feb. 1, 2013 (more…)

Liberal news outlets are now aghast at the strength of the judicial response to delicate sensibilities of the rioting hoard in Baltimore.   As anticipated the MSM is now framing a narrative that rioting thugs should not be punished, or held responsible.

(Guardian) Baltimore’s under-fire criminal justice system risked antagonising its already seething local community on Wednesday by suspending legal procedures and imposing bail bonds of up to half a million dollars on the city’s most impoverished residents.
In one especially stark case, a 19-year-old charged with eight offences allegedly committed on Saturday, including riot, theft and disorderly conduct, was set a bail of $500,000. Court records show the defendant, a black man, was sent to jail after failing to produce the funds. (more…)

Before the flames even subsided the institutional media began to advance a more sympathetic narrative.  Quickly, necessarily, changing the imagery from rioting thugs holding rocks, bottles and Molotov cocktails to pictures of little black boys handing water bottles to riot police and other optics more conducive to selling a victimization story.
But that’s all it is, a story – more polish on the Potemkin Village known as Baltimore.
The truthful reality is what you won’t see discussed by Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper or Marc Lamont Hill.

“The Police wouldn’t help me”… 

We share this story to bring forth a point. There is a real danger when the professional Black Grievance Industry makes a decision to construct a false story of racial animosity, and the media decide to sell it. (Trayvon Martin / Mike Brown as examples) Unstable people read these stories, believe them, then take action based upon the enemy identified within them. This is dangerous.

This is jaw dropping moonbattery even from the mouth of a CNN Grand Moonbat:

I am sorry for what I said earlier about veterans. It was wrong and I apologize to anyone who was hurt by my comments.

A Potemkin Village is a best described as: “an impressive façade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition“.
The media narrative surrounding the Baltimore Riots is one such construct.
These undesirable facts and conditions the progressives desperately need to avoid are  being brutally spotlighted in Baltimore Maryland. A cultural petri dish of necessary avoidance to hide the reality of progressive racial failure.

One easy to identify example of their efforts therein has recently surfaced.  It surrounds the media’s desperate desire to hide the violence within Baltimore.

The staff of the City Paper of Baltimore was challenged in their reporting. City Paper editors and writers framing the rioting masses as “peaceful protestors“, while the public at large sees “violent antagonists“.

Today President Obama addressed the state of emergency in Baltimore Maryland, calling the violent reactions “counter-productive.”

As Baltimore Burns the media begins the blame game. Last night pressing the Maryland Governor on why it took so long for the Maryland National Guard to be activated Governor Larry Hogan cuts right to the chase: “Within 30 seconds of receiving the call, I activated the National Guard”.
The delay stems from Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake refusing to ask for assistance, and refusing to return phone calls from the Governors office. Start watching the video at 09:00 to see delivery:

Shooting: 1700 block Fulton Avenue. Woman reported to be shot in the leg. Western district detectives investigating.

The Media Won’t Discuss The Nine CFIUS Signatories – Why Not? 

Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer appeared on This Week and faced a very skeptical George Stephanopoulos, who argued that his accusations that Hillary Clinton exchanged favorable treatment from the U.S. State Department for multimillion dollar donations to the Clinton Foundation were unsubstantiated.
However, what ABC doesn’t tell YOU is that Stephanopoulos has a SEVERE conflict of interest about this story as it relates to its 2005 origin and his former Boss Bill Clinton.
