Monday July 15, 2013 Interesting Items 7/15 - Howdy all, a few Interesting Items for your information. Enjoy – In this issue: 1. Zimmerman 2. Organizing 3. Train Crash 4. Adoption 5. Burglary 6. Salt 7. Encyclical 1. Zimmerman. “White Hispanic” George Zimmerman was acquitted on the charge of second degree murder by a six-woman Florida jury Saturday. Deliberations took less than 16 hours. The charges and trial were the closest we here in the US have seen to an old fashioned Stalinist show trial in many decades. There was prosecutorial misconduct as the State of Florida withheld the contents of Travon Martin’s cell phone until a whistle blower in the state prosecutor’s office IT department notified the defense team of the contents in May. The whistleblower was fired the morning the case went to jury. The judge, seemingly taking the side of the prosecution did not allow the evidence on the phone to be introduced to the jury. Note that the phone had a large number of photos, texts, and phone calls recorded. All of the recipients could (should) have been deposed by the defense (and the prosecution also, for that matter) and their testimony introduced in as evidence. Apparently the State did not believe that would help their case so they hid the phone and its contents. This is malfeasance breathtaking in scope from the prosecution and in a sane world would lead to disbarment proceedings against the entire prosecution team. This case should never have been brought. The investigators that were brought to court all ended up corroborating Zimmerman’s story. All supported his version of the shooting. Note that the state had the Sanford Police Chief and lead investigator fired for refusing to bring charges against Zimmerman. Following the verdict, blacks rioted in Oakland and there was some violence in LA. Other than a lot of mouths running in the racial grievance industry, things were a lot quieter than I expected them to be. I for one have about had it with the democrat led racial grievance industry and have had a belly full of listening to complaints about racism from people whose very paychecks depends of making sure as much of it exists as humanly possible. If I were a truly evil b@$tard, I would start running a series of Spanish language ads on TV, radio and print media in the barrio, describing in graphic detail what the racial lynch mob is doing to Zimmerman and his family and then blame it all on Obama, his black-led (In)Justice Department, and suggest that the way to shut it down would be to never vote for another democrat again. And run the ads for the next couple of decades. If the racialists infesting this administration want a fight, perhaps it is time to oblige them with one. Note that Zimmerman’s ride through the (In)Justice system is not finished yet, as Holder and the boys are looking into civil rights charges against him. The FBI investigated but was not able to find any. There will also be a civil suit against him brought by Martin’s family, who hooked up with a law firm that traffics in race-based lawsuits. The depositions in that one should be very interesting, especially taking a look into Martin’s cell phone contents. If the family of the deceased allows themselves to get goaded into a race-based wrongful death jihad, they will not like where it will end up . 2. Organizing. It turns out that Holder’s (In)Justice Department was behind organizing protests in Sanford Florida that pressured the State of Florida to bring this case against Zimmerman. A little-known organization in DoJ called the Community Relations Service spent public money organizing protests against local law enforcement when they initially refused to bring charges against Zimmerman. Judicial Watch discovered the public funding via FOIA requests. The Obama administration needed to whip up racial tensions in the lead-in to the 2012 election to ensure a high turnout by the black community. With this verdict, it appears they are going to try and do it again in 2014. http://www.judicialwatch.org/ press-room/press-releases/ documents-obtained-by- judicial-watch-detail-role-of- justice-department-in- organizing-trayvon-martin- protests/ 3. Train Crash. Last week had a train crash in Quebec with a runaway freight train carrying tank cars full of oil on its way to a refinery derailed, crashed and burned. Five dead and over 2,000 people evacuated from their homes due to smoke, fire, fumes and associated danger. Apparently the train was parked on a hill; brakes failed; and it ran away, derailing at the end of its run. Not a particularly dangerous event in terms of numbers of dead people, and a pretty large mess. But it is significant in light of the Obama administration’s lollygagging on a decision to build the Keystone II pipeline. The significance is that over the last decade or so, a significant amount of transport of newly produced oil has shifted from highly regulated and extremely safe pipelines to not nearly as highly regulated rail (which also benefits one of Obama’s big money donors Warren Buffett). The greens as usual have stood up, stomped their collective feet and said no new pipelines – particularly in parts of the US with the most need of new distribution – and have promptly forced the new volume of oil onto the rails, making our and their lives more dangerous. Congratulations to the religious left for another hand well played. 4. Adoption. A Catholic Church in VA posted a plea for adoptive parents for a Down’s Syndrome child. The mother was within days of having to make a decision to abort the kid or carry it to term. She did not want to care for a handicapper. The situation came to the attention of clergy at the Church who posted a call for volunteers on their Facebook page. Hundreds of couples responded, volunteering to adopt and raise the child as their own. An adoption agency had whittled the list down to three couples as of this writing. The story demonstrates that there is a lot more love, grace, hope and love of life out here in Flyover Country than any of the media or anyone on the left would admit. Today, due to the ability to diagnose birth defects in the womb, the vast majority of Down’s kids are aborted, which is a truly awful outcome. Congratulations to everyone involved. The Lord does work in mysterious ways. Three groups will know true joy from this one – the Mother, the adoptive parents, and the people who made it possible. And we will have another smiling youngster in our midst. http://hotair.com/archives/ 2013/07/11/hundreds-of- couples-plea-for-chance-to- adopt-downs-syndrome-child/ 5. Burglary. The office of a Dallas law firm representing a State Department whistle blower was burgled several times over the course of a single evening. Video of the perps had them entering the offices at least three times over the evening. They stole three computers and broke into the file cabinets. They did not take anything else. The whistle blower was a former State Department IG investigator who has reported allegations of drug use, illicit sexual encounters with adults and minors, and sexual harassment. Tight ship you were running there, Hillary. The event sounds like the typical Clintonoid coverup. Remember that Watergate started with a burglary at the offices of the DNC. Of course, the media likes the Clintons and did not like Nixon, do media coverage on this will be sparing at best. 6. Salt. Once again, convention wisdom of the food Nazis proves to be pure garbage. Add salt to the list of substances previously thought to be damaging to health that actually aren’t. Instead it turns out that restricting salt consumption too much leads to health problems. Science writer Gary Taubes, who has for years been suggesting a low carb, high fat diet, also wrote about salt being harmless. Turns out he was once again correct. http://hotair.com/archives/ 2013/07/11/cdc-oops-salt-is- not-actually-dangerous-and- cutting-it-may-be-harmful/ 7. Encyclical. The first publication form a new Pope is generally a Big Deal. The first Encyclical written by Pope Francis I was co-written with the former Pope Benedict XVI. The Encyclical strongly supports the traditional family, the union of one man and one woman, which should be fighting words to the homosexual – friendly media. Instead, the media ignored the publication completely, perhaps choosing not to pick a fight with the first Latin American Pope at the time they are pandering to Hispanics via comprehensive immigration reform. I think the Church is going to endure and prevail. I am not so hopeful that the left is going to be similarly successful. http://datechguyblog.com/2013/ 07/07/pope-francis-releases- encyclical-msm-i-see-nothing- i-know-nothing/ More later - - AG "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
