No doubt Putin is leveraging the U.S. position moving against ISIS in Syria which needs Russian assistance/acceptance.   As Russia assists U.S. political and strategic interests in Syria, now is the right time for Putin to make his selfish moves.   Putin is playing chess, and Obama is playing checkers…..

MOSCOW — Declaring that Russian troops had crossed into Ukraine, President Petro O. Poroshenko on Thursday canceled a planned visit to Turkey and convened a meeting of the national security council to focus on the “marked aggravation of the situation” in the southeast of his country.

The meeting of the national security council will focus on shaping a response, and Ukraine will also request a meeting of the United Nations Security Council. (more…)

(Via Judicial Watch)  The Department of Justice (DOJ) keeps giving radical leftist groups that support President Obama huge amounts of cash collected from big banks to settle discrimination and mortgage abuse lawsuits filed by the government.
Judicial Watch first reported the scheme two years ago when Countrywide Financial Corporation doled out $335 million to settle its discrimination lawsuit with the feds. The money was supposed to be distributed to more than 200,000 minority victims who supposedly were charged higher interest rates and fees than white borrowers based on their race not their credit. Instead, a chunk of the money went to Democrat-tied groups not connected to the lawsuit, including the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and the open-borders National Council of La Raza (NCLR).

(Via Fox News)  A second American reportedly killed fighting with the Islamic State group in Syria has been identified as Abdirahmaan Muhumed, of Minneapolis, two sources told Fox News late Wednesday.
KMSP-TV in Minneapolis reported that Muhumed was killed in the same battle as Douglas McAuthur McCain, who grew up outside Minneapolis in the town of New Hope and most recently lived in San Diego. The State Department confirmed McCain’s death earlier this week, but spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the U.S. has no independent confirmation of the second American’s death. “We’re looking into it,” she said.
A source told Fox News that Muhumed’s family had been sent a photo of his body from Syria, but had not been formally notified by the State Department. Fox News was unable to contact the family. (more…)

Following up on what we shared yesterday about the CNN analysts questioning the integrity of the Mike Brown shooting audio recordings, things are getting even more interesting.
It appears Mrs. Lopa Blumenthal is asking CNN to publicly retract their concerns. However, in so doing she is outlining her affiliation with the entire scheme. In the Washington Post article she is now laying NO CLAIM to contacting CNN with the audio recording.
So who do you think would have called CNN ?   The same scheme team who delivered the audio, ie. Manufactured Media Evidence, to the FBI.   That would be Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump.  Once you get on board with Parks and Crump, you don’t get off until your reputation is ruined. 

First her recent espousals – (WaPo) Lopa Blumenthal says she knows how today’s news cycles go. “I understand that the media’s fickle,” she says.
Yet she says she’s “not going to tolerate” the treatment she received this morning on CNN’s “New Day” morning program. As reported on this blog, a CNN law-enforcement commentator, Tom Fuentes, said of an audiotape whose release Blumenthal had negotiated with CNN on Monday: “When I heard this yesterday, I thought the exact same thing — it’s a hoax,” said Fuentes, who clarified that he was ultimately unsure of its status.

The visible, albeit generally unspoken, goals of President Obama’s immigration policies -as executed- has always been to overwhelm the system and create a crisis which must be solved with new policy.  Classic Cloward-Piven strategy.
WASHINGTON DC – Two top federal judges Wednesday said the nation’s immigration courts are in chaos, with the backlog of cases at an historic high of 375,000 for just 227 judges, leading to a minimum three-year delay in hearings for illegal immigrants.

In Washington to take advantage of the current crisis to demand a new court system, the judges accused the Justice Department of treating their courts like Cinderella’s abusive family by starving them of money and support and blamed the insufficient Justice funding for letting illegals “linger” in the country.
“Immigration courts are the forgotten stepchild,” said Immigration Judge Dana Leigh Marks of San Francisco. She was speaking on behalf of the National Association of Immigration Judges, which she is president of. (read more)

Sooner or later someone in the mainstream media is going to catch on to the reality that Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump have a grievance manual which they follow to get their financial rewards.    This audio came from Daryl Parks to the FBI and CNN.
(Breitbart) […]  CNN’s timing of the release made perfect sense. The leftwing network dropped the audio the day after treating the funeral of Michael Brown as though he was a head of state. With the death porn concluded and the Ferguson streets quiet, CNN needed to fill the race-baiting vacuum with something.

This is the second time CNN has been unforgivably irresponsible with audio. Using unintelligible audio of George Zimmerman’s 911 call, CNN falsely claimed Zimmerman had described Trayvon Martin as a “fucking coon” before fatally shooting the teenager. CNN not only fabricated this evidence against Zimmerman, after it was proven Zimmerman didn’t use the racial slur, CNN continued to lie to its audience and claim he had.   (read more)

CROWDSOURCING REQUEST – Located within this inital media feed video of the Ferguson shooting various rumors and speculations can be dispelled:
1. The Reporter outlines how several (5 or 6) shots were fired after the arrival of the media. Hence the initial problem for the Police securing, and processing, the crime scene. This was part of the delay in morgue body recovery.
2. Clearly you can see Officer Darren Wilson’s POLICE SUV being removed by flatbed tow truck as it was evidence in the shooting.
3. Almost every “eye witness”, as well as Dorian’s mom, can be seen (albeit quickly) in a group discussion prior to giving the visible Detective statements.
4. However, perhaps more importantly, is the visibility of Mike Brown accomplice Dorian Johnson.  Until now – his immediate location was unknown.

Dorian Johnson who, as witnessed, (@2:01) can be seen to have removed his T-Shirt -worn in the Ferguson Liquor Strong-arm Robbery- and standing in discussion with another male who is wearing a ball cap. Dorian’s T-Shirt slung over his left shoulder as he watches the scene from a safe distance.

You can compare his appearance as an unknown observer to the CCTV video from the Ferguson Liquor Mart (the giveaway -beside the shorts and shirt- is the shoes and anklet) (more…)

This Saint Louis report is claiming 11 shots, we can only hear 10 – Previous analysis HERE

• First volley [6 shots] in a 1-5 sequence lasting 1.8729 seconds
• {pause and reacquire sequence of  3.024 secs}
• Second volley [4 shots] in a 1-3 sequence lasting 1.627 seconds

(Saint Louis Dispatch) Seven shots. A three-second pause. Four more shots.  An audio file obtained by the Post-Dispatch on Tuesday is believed to have captured the shooting of Michael Brown Jr.
If authenticated, it would be the first recording of the actual incident to have surfaced since Brown’s death on Aug. 9.

Lawyer Lopa Blumenthal said her client, who lives in the apartment complex where Brown was killed, captured the shooting while recording a video text message to a friend.

This represents Obama’s foreign policy in a nutshell. In 2012 we armed ISIS in Syria with the goal to destroy President Assad. In 2014 we are giving President Assad the intelligence information to destroy ISIS, and the weapons we gave them to kill him.

(Hat Tip WeaselZippers) You just can’t make this stuff up.  

In Libya – Egypt and the UAE are attacking President Obama and Hillary’s “rebels”.  You remember, those folks we had a responsibility to protect.   The ones we ARMED.

In Syria – We are now assisting Russia and Assad, to attack President Obama, Hillary and John McCain’s “rebels”.  Yes, yet again – the ones we ARMED !  

The Benghazi Brief

WASHINGTON DC – The U.S. has begun reconnaissance flights over Syria and is sharing intelligence about jihadist deployments with Damascus through Iraqi and Russian channels, sources told AFP on Tuesday.

“The cooperation has already begun and the United States is giving Damascus information via Baghdad and Moscow,” one source close to the issue said on condition of anonymity.

The comments came a day after Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said Syria was willing to work with the international community against the jihadist Islamic State group, and U.S. officials said they were poised to carry out surveillance flights over Syria. (more…)

Following a recent story where another white couple was beaten to death at a “Blacks Only” McDonalds, the recent “Justice for Big Mike beating” in Mississippi takes on added racial dimensions.
Indeed, a familiar pattern is rising.  And, as customary, within the most recent example the Black Police Chief is covering-up the racial motive and trying to play down the hate crime aspect.

Reverse the races in either of these two brutal episodes of violence and the National Media would be running the story 24/7.

Historical Context – In 2012/2013 we documented a pattern of racial violence, revenge, more than a dozen times in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting:
1. Jogger Says He was Attacked in Retaliation for Zimmerman Verdict
2. Victim: Attack fueled by Zimmerman verdict

3. Brothers Murdered Over ‘Free Zimmerman’ Sticker?

4. Trayvon supporter smashes Oakland man in the face with a hammer
5. ‘It was terrifying’: Zimmerman protester assaults woman driving daughter to the hospital
6. Trayvon Martin rioters attack white news crew
7. Two white marines attacked by black mob day after verdict
8. Trayvon supporters attack random pedestrians in San Bernardino
9. Trayvonistas break white waiter’s jaw during Trayvon rally
10. Adams Morgan hate crime was motivated by Zimmerman verdict, police say
11. ‘This is for Trayvon’: Hispanic man ‘was beaten by gang of black youths’ in alleged Zimmerman revenge attack
12. Second Hispanic attacked by rioting Trayvonistas
13. Black Bank Robber says he robbed bank in revenge for Trayvon Martin
14. Black killer’s Facebook page had numerous photos of Trayvon Martin

The agenda of the national media is obvious within their willful blindness. (more…)
