Cooking Over Burning Qurans Make My Hot Dogs Taste Funny: Pastor Terry Jones Fulfills Deadline Threat for the Release A Pastor in Iran on Deathrow for not Converting to Islam

Update: New York Post has carried the story The Gainesville Sun- By Cindy Swirko Staff writer Pastor burns holy books in protest of imprisoned clergyman Dove World Outreach Center pastor Terry Jones on Saturday burned copies of the Quran and an image depicting Muhammad in front of his church to protest the imprisonment in Iran of a Christian clergyman. Moments later, Gainesville Fire Rescue issued the church a citation for violating the city’s fire ordinances. Saturday’s act of protest took place in spite of published reports that the Pentagon had urged Jones to reconsider, expressing concern that American soldiers in Afghanistan and elsewhere could be put at greater risk because of the act. A little more than a year ago, on March 20, 2011, Dove World assistant pastor Wayne Sapp burned a copy of the Quran and broadcast it on the Internet. Reports and images of the Quran burning incited violence in northern Afghanistan in which at least 12 people were killed. Days later, a man wearing an Afghan border police uniform shot dead two American military personnel. Dove World denied responsibility then for the deaths. About 20 people gathered Saturday on church property at 5805 NW 37th Street about 5 p.m. for the planned burning. Several Gainesville police officers were stationed across the street from the church or were patrolling the area. A few people watched the scene, but there were no protesters. Jones and another pastor demanded the release of the Christian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from an Iranian prison. Jones said Nadarkhani faces execution. Jones spoke at a podium that was far enough away that he could not be heard by people along 37th Street. The event was streamed live over the Internet. After the speeches, copies of the Islamic holy book and an image depicting Muhammad were burned at about 5:50 p.m. in a portable fire pit. Shortly afterward, officers in two Gainesville Police Department cars drove onto the property. With them was a GFR official, who issued the citation. Fire Chief Gene Prince, contacted by The Sun afterward, said Jones had approval for a burn but did not have the required authorization to burn books. Prince said Gainesville has restrictive fire ordinances, adding that books cannot be burned without authorization because of environmental concerns over the burning of glue and bindings in books. The fine is $271, which includes court costs, Prince said. Several onlookers watched the event from across 37th Street. Some said they wished Jones and Dove World would stop its activities or relocate, while others noted that Jones has a constitutional right to protest. Jones first drew attention in July 2009, when he placed signs reading “Islam is of the Devil” on church property and when students who belong to the church later wore T-shirts with the words to public schools. In September 2010, he drew international focus with a plan to burn Qurans. The U.S. government warned of reprisals against military in Iraq and Afghanistan if the burning took place. President Barack Obama and the Vatican, among others, condemned the plan, which Jones later called off.

Nero Obama Caesar and His Own Colosseum Games to Focus the People’s Attention from the Destruction of the State

Class warfare, war on women, war on corporations, Occupy, Trayvon Martin and black on white attacks, Obama has given the people “the games” in much like Nero Claudius Caesar did to the Romans as Rome burned.  Where each one of these examples is fueled by pure hatred rather then the cause it declares, and shouldn’t be ignored, look to is pulling the strings to cause the society to burn down. During his Tuesday evening broadcast, Glenn Beck took a deeper look at the disturbing trend of violence being perpetrated against whites in the name of “justice for Trayvon.”

Is Justice for Blacks and Whites Different? It is When it Comes to Hate Crimes. Especially if the Crime is Committed as a Mob

Beating of Alabama man not seen as hate crime, despite claim ‘Trayvon’ invoked -From FoxNews A racially charged beating of a white Alabama man by a throng of African-Americans is not being investigated as a hate crime, despite one witness’ claim that she heard an assailant exclaim: “Now that’s justice for Trayvon.” Matthew Owens, of Mobile, Ala., was assaulted with baseball bats, paint cans and other weapons at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday after telling a group of children to stop playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive, according to Ashley Rains, public information officer for the Mobile Police Department. After the children left the area, a group of adults armed with weapons returned and confronted Owens, 40, in his front yard, where he was assaulted. Owens’ sister, Ashley Parker, told WKRG she witnessed the attack and that there were as many as 20 assailants. Parker said she overheard one of them say, “Now that’s justice for Trayvon.” Asked if the incident was being investigated as a hate crime, Rains replied: “No, it’s not. It’s being investigated as an assault.” Eugene A. Seidel, first assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, declined to comment on the case when reached by FoxNews.com. “Our policy is not to comment one way or another about cases,” Seidel said when asked if his office has inquired about the incident. “All I can say is no comment.” The incident occurred in a middle-class neighborhood in Mobile, on a street where residents have often been at odds with teens who block the roadway to play pickup basketball, WKRG reported. Owens has a criminal record that includes arrests for domestic assault, driving under the influence and public intoxication. Trayvon Martin, 17, is the unarmed teenager who was fatally shot Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder in Martin’s death, went into hiding Monday as he awaits trial. Emotions ran high as six weeks passed before Zimmerman was charged, leading many African-American community leaders to decry what they perceived as racism in the justice system. Rains said Parker’s statement could not be independently corroborated as of Tuesday. Attempts to reach Parker — who reportedly characterized the assault as the “scariest thing” she ever witnessed — were unsuccessful. “We have not been able to find any other witness that can back that statement up,” Rains told FoxNews.com. “It’s unknown right now if that was said.” Owens, who regained consciousness early Tuesday, remains in serious condition at the University of South Alabama Medical Center, Rains said. It remains unclear how many people participated in the assault, but Rains said it involved multiple assailants. The relationship — if any — between the children and the alleged perpetrators is also unclear, Rains said. “We’ve spoken to the victim and we’re doing our best to put together a suspect list and identify any suspects that were in the assault,” she said. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Mobile Police Department at (251) 208-7211.

EXCLUSIVE Interview With Pastor Terry Jones About Qurans Burning on April 28 2012

Asking the questions one week before the burnings, that media will be asking the day after Pastor Youcef Naderkhani is under the death sentence in Iran for apostasy. (Converting from Islam)  Where Pastor Youcef denies ever being Muslim, the accusations against him is that because Islam is in his “ancestry” any thing less then him publicly denouncing his current religion and declare himself Muslim, results in death by the state. His death sentence has been delayed, and could happen any day.  Media outcry, a bill resolution in the congress and even a White House statement may well have been the reason for the sustaining of his life, but there also seems to have been a threat from Pastor Terry Jones’ church of burning Qurans and images of Mohammad if Pastor Youcef isn’t released.  Unlike any presidential statement or House resolution, this this comes with a deadline.  On April 28, 2012 at 5pm EST, if Pastor Youcef has not been released, multiple Qurans and even images of Mohammad will be burned by Terry Jones and his church. Unlike uprisings against American soldiers by muslims after a Quran burning, cartoon drawing of Mohammad or any reason they deem justifiable to burn, destroy and kill,  this may have direct impact on Pastor Youcef’s life.   This is what I wanted to get answers to. Our American soldiers have to deal with attacks all the time by muslims that didn’t require something to incite them, but Pastor Youcef is hanging on by a thread and this may be the tipping point for his life.   In any “stand-off” where two sides have hostages, (Iran with Pastor Youcef and Pastor Terry Jones with the threat of burning Qurans and images) if one side “fires first” by taking out their hostage, there is no reason for the other side to keep their hostage with out penalty.  This is the very heart of the question I wanted Pastor Terry Jones to answer. I was able to get an interview with Pastor Terry Jones and his son Luke Jones while they were holding a protest rally in Sanford, Fl about justice for George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin on Saturday April 20, 2012, one week before the rest of the media would be asking the same questions.

40 Yr Old White Man Beaten to Critical Condition by 20 Blacks on His Own Porch

I guess I’m going to be able to post at least one of these type of stories per day now, it seems. Get armed, stay armed. Better to be judged by 12 rather then carried by 6. How, oh how is this one going to be spun to become justified?  Was he “profiling”? Was he “following”, against the orders of a dispatch officer? From local15tv.com- MOBILE, Alabama – Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he’s in critical condition. According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink. Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens. Owens’ sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. “It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed.” Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using “brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on.” Police will only say “multiple people” are involved. What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said.. “Now thats justice for Trayvon.” Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida. Police canvassed the area, but did not find any suspects. They’re asking anyone with information to call them at 251-208-7211, Crime Stoppers at 251-208-7000, or text a tip to 274637 and include the keyword CRIME 411. local15tv.com fox10tv.com

What We Can Expect as the Steps to the Trayvon Martin – George Zimmerman Case

STEP 1 – Now that Zimmerman is in custody, he has a “first appearance” before a judge * Zimmerman had his first appearance at 1:30 p.m. Thursday April 12, 2012. * First appearance hearings have to happen within 24 hours of someone’s arrest. * The judge read the charges, so Zimmerman is clear about the crimes he is accused of. * The judge addressed Zimmerman’s right to counsel.  Zimmerman has hired Mark O’Mara. STEP 2 – Zimmerman’s bond * Second-degree murder is considered a “nonbondable” offense because the maximum penalty is life in prison. * Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, asked for an “Arthur hearing” in an attempt to get bond set. * At the “Arthur hearing,” the burden was on the prosecutors to show that Zimmerman should not be given bond. To meet that burden, they had to present evidence to support no bond. If the prosecutors fail to meet the burden, the judge will look at other factors to decide whether to set bond. Those factors include Zimmerman’s ties to the community, whether he’s a flight risk and whether he’s a danger to the community. * This hearing was an opportunity for the defense to see the prosecution’s evidence against Zimmerman. —————————————————————————————————– The Defense has yet to have discovery, so any evidence that the state is sitting on hasn’t been shown to the defense.  This was the first opportunity for the state to use any evidence they have that incriminates Zimmerman to keep him from being bonded out.  The state provided no evidence but rather relied on the affidavit which also provides no evidence.  The judge even said as much that he is more familiar with affidavits having more substance.  At this point every and any evidence that has come to light backs up Zimmerman’s claims.  The state, if it had damaging evidence against Zimmerman’s claims, had the opportunity to put Zimmerman’s bond request in jeopardy.  The state provided no evidence.  Why? Because the state was being nice?  Or, the state has absolutely no evidence that doesn’t actually support Zimmerman?  It seems the prosecution is standing on “Trayvon is dead because Zimmerman followed him, and caused Trayvon to attack Zimmerman.”  Lunacy! —————————————————————————————————– STEP 3 – Arraignment * The arraignment appears to have been set for April 29, 20012. * Zimmerman may or may not appear in open court for his arraignment. Often the defendant will waive the appearance at the actual court hearing and his attorney can enter a written plea of not guilty on his behalf. * Zimmerman will be arraigned and must enter a plea on the charges, most likely “not guilty” (at this stage, defendants almost never plead guilty). In fact, O’Mara has already indicated that publicly. STEP 4 – Defense files a motion to dismiss based on “stand your ground” law * Zimmerman is entitled to a pretrial evidentiary hearing on whether he can use the stand your ground immunity. * The burden at that hearing is on the defense to prove by “a preponderance of the evidence” (meaning it’s more likely than not) that Zimmerman was justified in using deadly force. In Florida, an individual can use deadly force anywhere (with no duty to retreat) as long as he/she: – is not engaged in an unlawful activity; – is being attacked in a place he/she has a right to be; and – reasonably believes that his/her life and safety is in danger. * The judge decides whether Zimmerman’s actions were justified and therefore entitle him to the stand your ground immunity. If the judge finds the force was justifiable, then the charges are dismissed and Zimmerman is immune from further criminal prosecution and, possibly, civil liability. If the judge finds the force was not justifiable, then the charges against Zimmerman move forward (see steps 5 and 6 below) * If the judge rules Zimmerman is immune, the prosecution can appeal that decision to a higher court. —————————————————————————————————– Zimmerman will probably not be found immune to prosecution due to ‘stand your ground’ due to a loophole the prosecution will attempt to create. Florida Statutes:  JUSTIFIABLE USE OF FORCE 776.013  (3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony. Here is where the loophole may be attempted. From the Defense argument, Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle and with Trayvon’s attack, prevented Zimmerman’s retreat.  In this scenario every aspect of the Stand your Ground statute has been fulfilled.  I suspect the prosecution will actually attempt to use the facts that Trayvon WAS on top of Zimmerman, so no ability to retreat was present, therefore Zimmerman couldn’t have “stood his ground”, and therefor this is a self defense case instead. —————————————————————————————————– “Stand your ground” vs. self-defense: possible legal arguments in the case of State of Florida v. Zimmerman Incident Self-defense argument “Stand your ground” argument Neighborhood watch co-captain George Zimmerman sees a stranger in the Sanford community. He calls 911, pursues Martin to “keep eyes” on the suspect so to be able to relay proper information to the police and the operator cautions him not to follow.  Partially relevant. Following Martin may  weaken the self-defense argument, but only if evidence is provided that shows Zimmerman initiated a confrontation with Martin. Prosecution also has to provide evidence that Zimmerman continued pursuit of Martin which is not currently supported by the 911 call, in that Zimmerman can clearly be heard ceasing his pursuit seconds after being suggested to do so and responds with “ok”. Not relevant. Following somebody is not provocation to get punched. Zimmerman is carrying a concealed weapon. Not relevant. Not relevant. Outside of Zimmerman’s legal right to carry a firearm, Zimmerman was also not “on duty” in the capacity as a neighborhood watchmen when this situation occurred. If he had been “on duty”, it would have been a violation of Neighborhood Watch code of conduct, which may have resulted in Zimmerman’s dismissal from the Neighborhood Watch, but would still not have been a crime. Zimmerman allegedly confronts Trayvon Martin. Relevant. Under Florida law if you are the first aggressor in a confrontation, you forfeit the right to self-defense. The prosecution would have to provide evidence that Zimmerman was the first physical aggressor. Again, following some one doesn’t fulfill the definition as being the first aggressor. Following somebody is not provocation to get punched. Relevant. Zimmerman claims he was returning to his truck when Martin confronted him, then punched him. Relevant. According to George Zimmerman’s version, he was punched without provocation. Following somebody is not provocation to get punched. While  on the ground being pinned and having his (Zimmerman’s) head slammed into the concrete, he couldn’t retreat even under the old law if he wanted to. Relevant. This is where Martin can stand his ground and not retreat into the car. According to Zimmerman, Martin punches him and brings him to the ground. Relevant. Relevant. “The real issue [in Stand Your Ground] is what happens around the 60 seconds prior to the shooting.” (Ed Griffith, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office,Tampa Bay Times) Someone is heard in the 911 tapes calling for help. Relevant. If it’s Zimmerman, it bolsters self-defense. If it’s Martin, it undermines self-defense. Relevant. If it’s Zimmerman, it bolsters self-defense. It presents Zimmerman using deadly force as a last resort, in that, in the 911 tapes a person can be heard screaming for help for 45 seconds.  This doesn’t include the amount of time that preceded the beginning of the recording, that caused the caller to make the 911 call.  This would not support a claim that Zimmerman hunted Martin down. If it’s Martin, it undermines self-defense. Aspects of the prosecution’s arguments that George Zimmerman pursued Trayvon Martin do not meet the required “First Aggressor” standards that would void ‘stand your ground’.  Furthermore the argument that following anyone deletes a person’s ability to self defend is ridicules.  This would mean that Zimmerman would’ve had to have fore-knowledge that Trayvon was going to attack him and that he was choosing to place himself in peril.   All citizens have an expectation, if legally within property, not to be attacked by another person.  Just as words or an argument has never been a justification for physical aggression in the courts, so too is pursuing a person not justification.  If this was so, there would be a lot of cases dealing with a member of the media being physically attacked because they asked questions that angered the attacker and/or pursuing the attacker in attempt to gain an interview or answers.  The cases would be thrown out because the media person basically “had it coming to them”. This is obviously not the case. In a nut shell, no matter what your “feelings” are, no one has justifiable rights to attack someone because they are annoying, saying things that anger you or following.  Trayvon Martin meets none of the aspects of ‘stand your ground’ besides having the right to be where he was.  Zimmerman’s police call: The “pursuit” starts at 2:05 911 calls before the shot: STEP 5 – Pretrial * Both the prosecution and defense could file a slew of pretrial motions in the case that deal with anything and everything from turning over documents and evidence to keeping certain evidence out at trial. It is too early to tell. STEP 6 – Trial * Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. To convict someone of second-degree murder prosecutors have to prove several things beyond a reasonable doubt. – First, that Trayvon Martin is dead. – Second, that George Zimmerman’s criminal act caused Trayvon Martin’s death. – Third, that Zimmerman knew his actions were reasonably certain to kill, that he committed the act with a depraved mind and the act itself was indifferent to human life. NOTE: Prosecutors do not have to prove that Zimmerman intended to kill Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman could assert self-defense at trial, but the burden is on the prosecution to prove that it wasn’t self defense beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury will have to consider the circumstances surrounding the killing and decide whether it was second-degree murder or a justifiable use of deadly force. The jury could also look at lesser-included offenses. At some point during or after the trial, the attorneys will meet with the judge in what is called a “charging conference” to argue which legal instruction the judge will give the jurors. We will not know which lesser-included offenses will be given to the jury until then. * It is too early to tell what lesser charges the evidence may support, but one possibility is manslaughter. To convict someone of manslaughter, prosecutors have to prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt: – that Trayvon Martin is dead AND – that Zimmerman’s acts caused Trayvon Martin’s death NOTE: Manslaughter does not require that it be an intentional killing, only that the act that caused death was intentional and not justified or excusable. Zimmerman could assert self-defense at trial, but the burden is on the prosecution to prove that it wasn’t self defense beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury will have to consider the circumstances surrounding the killing and decide whether it was manslaughter or a justifiable use of deadly force. NOTE: In the charging document, Corey alleges that Zimmerman killed Martin with a gun. That is important, because if the jury does convict Zimmerman of the lesser charge of manslaughter, using a gun increases the penalty that Zimmerman would face on a manslaughter conviction. If convicted of second-degree murder, Zimmerman faces a sentence of 25 years to life in prison without parole. —————————————————————————————————– Now if and when Zimmerman is acquitted, Eric Holder and the full force of the United States Attorney General’s office will come down upon Zimmerman with racial profiling charges.  This, like many other lawsuits  from the government with unlimited funds, is meant as a ceremonial crushing and punishment of Zimmerman for being found not guilty. Zimmerman will be required to put forth a defense against Federal charges that is meant to drain any and all funds, as it will be dragged out as long as possible.  Zimmerman has been found guilty in the media and by some high ranking members of government so he will be punished by one mean or the other, even if is found not guilty in criminal, civil and federal courts.

Those Damn Dirty Apes: Progressives see Victory with ALEC Disbanding Non-Economic Task Force

Some of the sponsors that abandoned ALEC by  Becket Adams at The Blaze The campaign against the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has paid off: “The American Legislative Exchange Council will disband the task force that tackled non-economic issues [i.e. voter ID and “stand your ground” laws],” Hot Air’s Tina Korbe report. David Frizzell, Indiana State Representative and 2012 National Chairman of ALEC, issued the following statement today (via ALEC’s website): Today we are redoubling our efforts on the economic front, a priority that has been the hallmark of our organization for decades. Fostering the exchange of pro-growth, solutions-oriented ideas is precisely why ALEC exists. To that end, our legislative board last week unanimously agreed to further our work on policies that will help spur innovation and competitiveness across the country. We are refocusing our commitment to free-market, limited government and pro-growth principles, and have made changes internally to reflect this renewed focus. We are eliminating the ALEC Public Safety and Elections task force that dealt with non-economic issues, and reinvesting these resources in the task forces that focus on the economy. The remaining budgetary and economic issues will be reassigned. While we recognize there are other critical, non-economic issues that are vitally important to millions of Americans, we believe we must concentrate on initiatives that spur competitiveness and innovation and put more Americans back to work. Our free-market, limited government, pro-growth policies are the reason ALEC enjoys the support of legislators on both sides of the aisle and in all 50 states. ALEC members are interested in solutions that put the American economy back on track. This is our mission, and it is what distinguishes us. Translation: because groups like Color of Change and the the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) successfully incited a mass exodus of sponsors, ALEC has been forced to bow out of certain issues. Unsurprisingly, liberal activists groups who have long targeted ALEC cheered the decision, viewing it, in part, as a victory (with ThinkProgress referring to it as a“progressive victory”) for their campaign to get “corporations and other groups to drop their support for the Washington, D.C.-based organization,” the AP reports. ALEC believes it has been unfairly targeted as part of a broader campaign against its conservative agenda. “This is an all-out intimidation campaign designed to promote government-based solutions rather than the free-market principles that we have seen work,” said Ron Scheberle, the group’s executive director. Lisa Graves, a leader at the Center for Media and Democracy who has been targeting ALEC over the past year, said the announcement was unexpected but likely a public relations move. So where does this put us? “ALEC’s decision was an unfortunate one, but, under the circumstances, it does make sense,” Korbe writes. “They have a vested interest in keeping their focus narrow so as to retain support on both sides of the aisle and to continue to be effective at influencing legislation at the state level.” She continues: … ALEC’s decision to sharpen its focus on economic issues doesn’t exonerate the corporations who succumbed to outside special interest groups to go against their own interests…McDonald’s, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Intuit, Kraft, Arby’s and Walgreens showed their true colors when they quickly abandoned ALEC. Apparently, they prioritize political correctness above all — even above free and fair elections, not to mention the free markets that enabled the success of such corporations in the first place. They want us unarmed, unable to self defend, they want us to shut up and allow any voting fraud to take place so they can shape the humanity in the way they want.  Stupid fools. Using methods to destroy the rights they cherish, thinking they will be kings and queens, only to be slaves to bondage and no means to defend themselves.

From the People’s Cube: 1912 Titanic Disaster: Was Racism To Blame?

1912 Titanic Disaster: Was Racism To Blame? Brought to you by the world of the Anti Propaganda The People’s Cube This is just to good! Opiate of the People As the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic approaches, new shocking evidence has surfaced that a racist vendetta was at the epicenter of the disaster. NBC News is about to release a mostly unedited Morse Code transcript of messages between the Newfoundland Emergency Operator and the Titanic’s Captain, George White, moments before the fatal altercation: Operator: Newfoundland SOS, what is your emergency? Titanic: This is George White, skipper of the Titanic. I’m on neighborhood watch in the North Atlantic. It’s dark out and I think I see an iceberg. Operator: An iceberg? Can you describe it? Titanic: It’s big…. there’s no moon out tonight… It looks black! ~ President Barack Obama:  “This is evidence of a GOP ‘War on Ice,’ which is an attempt to exacerbate global warming. We can’t allow the forces aligned with Big Coal to sabotage our invest-ments in newest sailing technologies, such as wind.” VP Joe Biden: “NOW I know why Herbert Hoover was laughing when he announced this disaster on television!” It is believed the enraged White, who happened to be white, pursued the iceberg instead of turning the ship to avoid it as the operator suggested. The situation deteriorated quickly and within hours, the Titanic had sunk taking with it thousands of passengers, many of them wealthy people who deserved it. White’s defenders will probably argue that it is almost impossible to turn a large vessel quickly and the confrontation was unfortunate but unavoidable. However, the historical record indicates White was driving the ship too fast and was in an area it shouldn’t have been in to begin with, as other neighborhood watch craft in the area had broadcast iceberg sightings earlier in the evening. It is likely that White, harboring deep-seated hatred for ice, deliberately sought out a large iceberg in an attempt to provoke a quarrel and incite violence. Experts fear the new revelations will lead to an anti-ice backlash and warn against citizens refusing ice in their drinks or de-frosting refrigerators too often in a display of disrespect to the iceberg community. Reaction from other concerned parties to the new evidence has been swift and pointed. NYC Mayor Bloomberg:  “We must increase government ship controls. Most of the ship disasters in New York Harbor are caused by ships from other places, and this terror ship was heading for New York as well. In fact, the only way to protect people from sinking is to lock them in their houses. They can come out when I say it’s safe to come out.” Special Prosecutor Angela Corey: “I intend to charge White with second-degree ice-breaking as soon as I can rent a scuba tank.”  DPRK Leader Kim Jung Un:  “At least when we launch stuff, it hits the water, not icebergs.” The late Ted Kennedy, speaking through a psychic:  “I have a piece of advice for White: publicly support pro-ice causes and then you can make chopped ice whenever you want in your private life.” Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton:  Have announced plans to charter boats and picket the site of the fatal encounter, and Spike Lee vowed to tweet the location to all his followers as soon as someone relays to him the exact point in the Pacific Ocean where the ship sunk. The People’s media will have more on this story as we develop it develops.

Horror… To Ease Gas Prices Barack Obama Moves to Control Oil Industry

Posted by Jim Hoft at thegatewaypundit But he’s not a socialist. Barack Obama has a new plan to ease gas prices – He wants to take control of oil industry. It’s the Maxine Waters’ plan. Obama wants more government control on oil industry. FOX News reported, via Free Republic: Under pressure to take action on rising gasoline prices, President Obama wants Congress to strengthen federal supervision of oil markets, increase penalties for market manipulation and empower regulators to increase the amount of money energy traders are required to put behind their transactions. The White House plan, which Obama was to unveil Tuesday, is more likely to draw sharp election-year distinctions with Republicans than have an immediate effect on prices at the pump. The measures seek to boost spending for Wall Street enforcement at a time when congressional Republicans are seeking to limit the reach of federal financial regulations. Obama plans to spell out his $52 million proposal Tuesday at the White House, where he will be joined by Attorney General Eric Holder. Republicans have been hammering Obama on his energy policies, recognizing the political cost of high gas prices on the president. Obama’s plan would turn the tables on Republicans by taking aim at Wall Street’s role in the oil price chain. Senior administration officials who put together the proposal said it aims to detect and deter illegal manipulation by energy speculators, the type of practices that many Democrats blame for the high cost of gasoline. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plan ahead of Obama’s announcement. This way he can stifle production even further!

Oh Hail the Chief of Excuses, Lies and, Dare I say, a Record.

Obama has to use tactics he may have learned from his buddy Hugo Chavez, otherwise a ham sandwich has a better chance of being elected then he has.

Media censored seven hate crime mob attacks in Grand Rapids

Kyle Rogers Charleston Conservative Examiner You didn’t hear about this is the media, but on the weekend of March 24th and March 25th at least seven white people were brutally beaten by mobs of blacks in Grand Rapids, MI. Five of the victims filed police reports. At least two other victims exist, and there are probably others. The local media has refused to report the cruel attacks and the authorities are resisting any serious charges. I talked with one of the victims, 37 year old Jacob Palasek. He is a full time student and does computer work part time. He was attacked by a wolf pack of thugs on the corner of Sixth Street and Broadway in Grand Rapids, Michigan just after midnight on March 25th. The location is a mix of stores, offices, and residential neighborhoods. Jacob lives near where he was attacked. As he was walking to his apartment, he saw three black males loitering. One was on a bicycle. The suspect on the bicycle rode up beside him. Suddenly the thug smashed him in the side of the head with a chain. He was hit two or three more times in the head with the chain before he broke loose and ran to the nearest home. He knocked on the door, hoping the owner would call the police. All three of the black males then attacked him on the porch. They yelled “this is what you deserve you white piece of shit.” Jacob was hit in the head with the large chain more times. Jacob broke free again and hid behind a dumpster. The attackers initially chased him, but broke their pursuit and walked away. There were some cars driving by and the thugs may have thought a driver was calling 911. All seven known victims were attacked within about six blocks of where Jacob was attacked. The victims were in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. Some of the victims were attacked during the day in broad daylight. Jacob believes he could have died if he was hit with the chain more times. He still has bad headaches and has not been able to work since the attack. Jacob doesn’t have insurance and can’t afford the correct medical treatment. His landlord is now threatening to evict him from his apartment. Since he was not able to work, he has missed a rent payment. A victim’s relief fund is planning to give him a small amount of money. However, police did not even tell him the fund existed so he applied very late. He is still waiting on the help. The police listed aggravated assault with a weapon and ethnic intimidation, Michigan’s state hate crimes law, on the police report. Jacob identified two of the perpetrators. However, police have told Jacob that the thugs will get off easy because they are only 17. Police told him that the thugs will not serve time in prison for the brutal hate crimes. Police said that the suspects will not be tried as adults. They will only face juvenile boot camp instead of prison. A detective told Jacob that they believe all the attacks were racially motivated. The detective also told Jacob that he believed the Trayvon Martin media frenzy is what prompted the attacks. Jacob also believed that the thugs were seeking revenge for Trayvon Martin before the detective confirmed this belief. To add insult to injury, not a single media outlet in all of Grand Rapids reported the brutal hate crimes. Jacob has contacted the local paper and his local news affiliates repeatedly. None will report the story. He has also contacted numerous politicians, none of whom has helped. He even wrote to US Rep. John Conyers. Conyers is a black US rep from Detroit who was a co-sponsor of the Federal Hate Crimes Act. The exact stated purpose of the Federal hate crimes act was to help people like the victims in Grand Rapids. When someone is a victim of a violent racially motivated attack and the local authorities won’t pursue serious penalties, the DOJ is supposed to pick up the slack and apply Federal hate crimes charges. Eric Holder, who heads the DOJ, says he is investigating ways to charge George Zimmerman with a Federal crime. Think Eric Holder will concern himself with the white victims of horrific hate crime mob attacks in Grand Rapids? For the past two years black on white racially motivated mob attacks have been occurring in the United States weekly. Local media outlets typically only have little blurbs about them and censor all mention of race. Numerous major media outlets now openly admit to having a policy of censoring black crime, so as not to “stigmatize” black people. Political correctness supersedes public safety. The response from the authorities has been one of constant downplaying. None of the perpetrators are ever charged with a hate crime. Now it has reached a point where the media in some markets are refusing to even report black on white hate crimes. How many other horrific black on white hate crime mob attacks are going on that we have never heard about? H/T MoonBattery Arm yourselves. Better to be Judged by 12 rather then carried by 6 Pallbearers.  Because when seconds matter, police are only minutes away.

OBAMA: ONE OF MY JOBS IN COLOMBIA IS TO ‘SCOUT OUT’ GOOD VACATION SPOTS FOR MICHELLE

Erica Ritz at The Blaze Speaking at a panel at the Summit of the Americas in Colombia, President Obama said part of his job there was to “scout out” vacation spots for Michelle. “We’re having a wonderful time,” the president said, “and usually when I take these summit trips part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation, so we’ll make sure to come back some time in the near future.” President Obama’s declaration comes hot on the heels of his testy exchange with Larry Connors of KMOV, who asked the president about those who “get frustrated and even angered when they see the first family jetting around [to] different vacations…sometimes maybe they think under the ‘color’ of state business…” President Obama’s Colombia trip was filled with news, from the dismissal of 11 Secret Service agents for their alleged involvement with a prostitute, to the revelation that members of the U.S. Military may be involved in the same scandal. Officially, the president was there to “discuss the enormous progress in the region” and determine how best to move forward. This just seems to sum it all up the Obama’s ‘they can eat cake’ attitudes

The Tipper Point: Liberals Are the Agents of Censorship, Not Conservatives

Here is you serving of ZoNation Rush Limbaugh was attacked for attacking Sandra Fluke, and now Democrats are calling for the radio host to be censored. Yes, Rush used an ugly word, but so do plenty of rock bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. So why do bands like RHCP stand behind Democrats? Zo reminds people that it was Tipper Gore who tried to censor popular music. Could it be that Democrats just want to censor those who disagree with them? Hear more on this ZoNation.

Please tell me this jack-ass (Mike Tyson) doesn’t represent an entire group of people’s view

“It’s a disgrace that man hasn’t been dragged out of his house and tied to a car and taken away. That’s the only kind of retribution that people like that understand. It’s a disgrace that man hasn’t been shot yet. Forget about him being arrested–the fact that he hasn’t been shot yet is a disgrace.”

What if George Zimmerman was Black, and Trayvon Martin was White(Hispanic)? No Need to Ask Anymore, There is a Case Exactly like That !

The hypocrisy of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder an Barack Hussein Obama are on full display.  What was that we kept hearing?  If Zimmerman was black and Trayvon was white (Hispanic),  then it would have all went down differently.  Because cops are such racists they would have thrown the “black Zimmerman” in jail, no questioned asked.  The white (hispanic) Trayvon wouldn’t have simply been ignored because it wasn’t just another black killed? Well now I’m going to call you on this: BULL  !!!! So how many of you are familiar with the story out of Phoenix, AZ of a 22-year-old black male, who as of yet hasn’t been arrested for shooting 29-year-old Daniel Adkins (white-Hispanic) in “self defense”? No?  You haven’t heard anything of this?  How can that be?  The similarities between this Phoenix shooting and the Zimmerman/Trayvon shooting are eerily close, except we are literally switching the races involved in each role. So let’s get to the story and you judge for yourself. PHOENIX (CBS5) -Tuesday night police said Daniel Adkins was walking across the Taco Bell drive-thru lane with his dog, when a driver came around the corner and almost hit him leading the two men to start arguing. “He felt like he was going to get run over and he must have told him something and then words got exchanged and then my brother went up to him and I believe he swung,” said Reyes. The driver told police he shot Adkins in self-defense, but Adkins’ family said that is impossible. “He is not threatening in any way. There is no way that anyone could be threatened by Daniel, he is just not that way he has the mentality of a 12 or 13-year-old,” said James Adkins, Daniel’s uncle. Mentality of a 12 or 13-year-old?? So we see pictures of Trayvon Martin as a 12 or 13 year old to falsify the situation that he was a poor defenseless child, and Adkins was mentally impaired with the mentality of a 12 or 13 year old.  How interesting. Police are still investigating if this was self-defense. So far, all they can say is that they did not find a weapon on Adkins. No weapon found that was suppposed to have been used by Adkins.  So Adkin must have been beating on the driver placing the driver in fear of his life? “It is very upsetting to know that this person is not in jail yet. How would they even let him go while confirming up to now that he never had a weapon? All he had was his dog and holding a dog leash,” said Reyes. The driver has not been arrested nor charged at all in this case. Police said they are still investigating and as of right now no recommendations for charges have been given over to the county attorneys office. Wow… myfoxphoenix.com- LAVEEN – Police are saying more about a shooting at a Taco Bell Tuesday night in which one man died. They’re also identifying the victim as 29-year-old Daniel Adkins. About 7:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared. At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver. They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene. The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested. At first, the couple claimed that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them — but it turns out he was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end. Wow, interesting that the shooter’s and his companion’s story changes, and the physical evidence at the scene doesn’t corroborate their original story.   Zimmerman’s story has changed how many times?  That’s right…ZERO.  What evidence at the Zimmerman/Trayvon scene has poked holes in Zimmerman’s story?   ZERO!  hmmmm Family members want that driver arrested, but he’s claiming self-defense. “He needs to be behind bars. I’ll never see my brother again,” says sister Marina Reyes. “If he felt that my brother was threatening him, he could have easily just rolled up the window and called the cops.” A metal pipe or bat was never located. An independent witness did say Adkins swung his fists in the driver’s direction. “He swung his fist towards the driver window, and at some point the driver shot him,” says Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson. “Just because we don’t book a person immediately does not mean we don’t charge a person at a later date.” A metal pipe or bat was never located - He (Adkins) swung his fist towards the driver window - swung his fists in the driver’s direction??  ”In the the driver’s direction”??!   Adkin didn’t punch the driver in the face to incapacitate and then proceed to slam the drivers head into a hard surface?  The only witness says Adkins swung his fist towards the driver window, may have actually made contact with the window? The witness didn’t see Adkins on top of the driver on the ground slamming the driver’s head into the concrete? hmmm “This person is still on the loose and I don’t agree with that. So he’s saying self defense, then where’s the weapon? Where’s the pipe? They didn’t find anything on my brother,” says Reyes. “He was just too aggressive, you don’t need to go that far.” The shooter’s name has not been released. The investigation is still ongoing. WTF??!!  The shooter’s name has not been released because the investigation is still ongoing??!!    Who shot Trayvon Martin???   Do you know the name of his shooter while there was still an on going investigation? ———————————————————————————————————— Ok, so what have we learned here?   A black person claiming to have shot an attacker in self defense wasn’t arrested on the spot simply because he was black. Unlike what we have been told would have happened by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder, Barrack Hussein Obama and every other race-baiter vomiting out their agendas. In the Zimmerman/Trayvon case, Trayvon was a 12 year old looking, black child and Zimmerman was a big bad angry white guy…err… Hispanic guy….err… (white) Hispanic guy. In this case Adkin is a Hispanic 28 year old (with the mental capacity of a 12 year old) [but not a white Hispanic] and the driver, who’s name hasn’t been released due to an ongoing investigation, was a 22 year old black male. Zimmerman’s name was released during an ongoing investigation, as well as a 13 year old witness, to be allowed to be terrorized by groups like the New Black Panthers, while the 22 year old black driver’s name has not. Zimmerman’s story, and the evidence supporting his story, as well as witnesses has never change nor been in conflict with how Zimmerman described the scene. On the other hand, the driver and his companion began with a story that Adkin had a weapon, (possibly bat or pipe) but between the lack of evidence and an eye witness saying that Adkin swung his fist at the car window and “may have made contact with the window”,  their stories have fallen apart. Swinging your fist at a car window and possibly making contact with said window equates with being punched in the face and then pummeled to the ground having your head slammed repeatedly into concrete, when it comes to self defense. Where is Al Sharpton? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is Eric Holder threatening to be looking into hate crime charges? Where is Barrack Hussein Obama telling us that Adkins looks like his son? Where are the Rallies?  Where are the marches demanding this black driver’s arrest?   Where are the cries for justice? Where are the bounties for this black driver’s head “Wanted Dead or Alive”?   Where are the threats of escalation in civil disobedience and economic sanctions that would be imminent unless the black shooter was apprehended immediately? Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder, Barrack Hussein Obama, New Black Panthers and all of the other interested parties that pushed race in the Zimmerman case………. …You are hypocrites, you are liars, you are criminals due to your incitements !

National Socialist Movement (Neo Nazis) In Sanford, FL due to Trayvon / Zimmerman case? It’s appearing more as so.

It has been reported and blogged that the stories of Neo Nazis in Sanford is a hoax primarily because they aren’t marching down main street.  From what this blogger can report on, currently members of the Neo Nazi National Socialist Movement are in Sanford but are attempting not to have their presence seen.  At this time it appears that particular  business owners in the downtown area that contacted this group are having their businesses watched and secured by this group. Photo taken at Sanford, FL Marina park This blogger is going to attempt to get an interview and ask such questions as: What is your purpose in Sanford? If a riot takes place, what are you planning to do? If a riot spills into the business district, will you only be “defending” the businesses your current securing? Do you see Sanford, as a whole, worth your “defending” no matter who or race of the business owners? I’m hoping to be able to update this story:
