More lies from the main stream media about the Zimmerman case

Jonathan Cohen

Today's Chicago Tribune editorial on the Zimmerman verdict repeats some of the lies and misrepresentations that have helped create so much of the anger over this case for the past 16 months.  The editorial which urges acceptance of the verdict none the less begins with the following quote:

"Are you following him?"

"Yeah"

"Ok. We don't need for you to do that".

The quote leaves out Zimmerman's reply of ok, an editorial decision that changes the clear meaning of the exchange which is that Zimmerman accepts the advice. More properly, what the transcript of the call reads

"Are you following him?"

"Yeah"

"Ok. We don't need for you to do that".

"Ok"

The first paragraph of the editorial then repeats the lie that Zimmerman was told not to leave his car. In fact what the transcript of the call shows is that just prior to this exchange, the dispatcher tells Zimmerman "just let me know if this guy does anything else. A few seconds later after Zimmerman says that Martin is running the dispatcher asks him "which way is he running."  It is sometime in this period that Zimmerman sounds like he has gotten out of his truck. For the next five or ten seconds there is a sound of wind that is followed by the exchange in which the dispatcher advises him he doesn't need to follow Martin.  At no time anywhere on the call does the dispatcher ever tell him not to leave his car or return to it. These five to ten seconds are the only time in the whole encounter in which there is any evidence of Zimmerman following Martin on foot.  And since there is so much misinformation about what happened it bears repeating.

Zimmerman was never told to stay in his car and was never asked to return to it!

No evidence at all is ever produced that Zimmerman followed Martin after the above exchange with the dispatcher. In fact, towards the end of the call, Zimmerman tells the dispatcher that he has lost sight of Martin. Clearly Zimmerman could not follow Martin if he couldn't see him. Further evidence of this is that Rachel Jaentel's testimony indicates that Martin had likewise lost sight of Zimmerman until shortly before the start of the confrontation.  In other words, after telling the dispatcher "ok", Zimmerman did not follow Martin nor did Martin perceive he was being followed.

The claim that Zimmerman was at fault because he pursued Martin after being told not to has absolutely no basis in fact. It is a made up assumption that has been repeated so many times by the media that people actually believe that is what happened.

The 911 call that was placed by Zimmerman is on the web in both audio  and written transcript form. It was played numerous times at the trial. There is no excuse for continuing to lie about the evidence. The Chicago Tribune should know better than to continue to perpetuate lies that have fueled so much anger over this case.

Jeantel: "The Jury, They Old. That's Old School People. We In A New School, Our Generation" | RealClearPolitics:
RACHEL JEANTEL, FRIEND OF TRAYVON: Well, the jury, they see their facts. My thoughts of the jury, they old, that's old school people. We in a new school, our generation, my generation. So --

PIERS MORGAN: Let's talk about 'creepy ass cracka.' People have said that that is a phrase used by black people, cracka, to describe a white person. Is that true?

JEANTEL: No! Like I said --

MORGAN: How do you spell it, first of all?

JEANTEL: Cracka. 

MORGAN: There's no 'e-r,' right?

JEANTEL: No, it's an 'a' at the end.

MORGAN: C-r-a-c-k-a.

JEANTEL: Yeah. And that's a person who act like they're a police [officer], who, like a security guard who acting like -- that's what I said to them. Trayvon said creepy ass cracka.

MORGAN: It means he thought it was a police or a security guard?

JEANTEL: Yeah, he acting like the police. And then he keep telling me that the man is still watching him. So, if it was a security guard or a policeman, they would come up to Trayvon and say, 'Do you have a problem? Do you need help?' You know, like normal people.

Baltimore Witness: Group of Blacks Beat Hispanic Man, Yelling 'This Is For Trayvon'

Baltimore Witness: Group of Blacks Beat Hispanic Man, Yelling 'This Is For Trayvon':
"The Baltimore Sun reported Monday evening that police are now investigating a witness’ story about a group of young blacks beating a Hispanic man while yelling “This is for Trayvon.” 
According to the witness, real estate agent Christina Dudley, she was walking to her car just before 9 p.m. on Sunday evening when she saw several young black men and two black females chasing a 37-year-old Hispanic man.
“One of the boys had a handgun out and it was pointed at the back of him,” said Dudley.
The group of young blacks caught up to the Hispanic man, and the man with the gun beat the victim with the gun while the others kicked and stomped on him, according to Dudley."

Man beaten by ‘bored’ teens dies 1 year later

Man beaten by ‘bored’ teens dies 1 year later | The Columbus Dispatch:
"Authorities say the Cincinnati-area man who was badly beaten by six teens almost a year ago in a Cincinnati suburb has died.
Pat Mahaney, 46, died yesterday in the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, said Julie Wilson, spokeswoman for the Hamilton County prosecutor’s office.
The six teens, all 13 or 14, injured Mahaney in August and told police they did it because they were bored and looking for something to do.
Wilson said Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters has asked the coroner for an autopsy.
Three of the youths have pleaded guilty to felonious assault.
Wilson would not elaborate on whether the office will seek additional charges against the teens.
She said the office will describe its “next steps, if any,” after the coroner issues a report."

K DRAUGR (DRAUGR)

All over the internet not one single mention of race in any of the mainstream media outletts. I had to do some digging to find out that the teens were all black and the victim was white. Some of the teens had prior arrest records. Aern't you getting sick of the deception? Aern't you getting sick of "News" outletts not accurately reporting the news?

Another day, another wind farm scandal

Another day, another wind farm scandal – Telegraph Blogs:
"..... the National Grid has been secretly forking out millions on diesel-generated power in order to stop the lights going out.
And why does the National Grid need this hugely expensive, dirty energy available on standby? 
For all those occasions when the wind isn't blowing, is why. 
The greater the proportion of our total energy capacity taken up by wind, the more unstable our grid becomes.
But rather than admit the scale of the problem (already causing havoc in places like Germany), the Coalition has had to persist in the charade that renewables are an essential part of our energy mix.
So rather than scrap all wind projects – the only really sensible option – we instead have to go through the nonsense of having even more expensive energy in reserve (ie diesel generators) driving up our bills by another 5 per cent."

PROSECUTION OR PERSECUTION-DOJ to Investigate Zimmerman.
The decision, of course, will be one hundred percent political.
But there’s a problem: FBI records: agents found no evidence that Zimmerman was racist.
But remember: 
For Obama et al., it’s never been about Zimmerman, or about Trayvon Martin. 
It’s about keeping blacks — and guilty white liberals — heated up and on the plantation, instead of defecting in disgust over Obama’s scandals and broken promises. 
So they’ll be demonizing everyone in sight between now and 2014.

The Nation: 'White supremacy' led to acquittal of Hispanic George Zimmerman

The Nation: 'White supremacy' led to acquittal of Hispanic George Zimmerman | The Daily Caller:
"A blogger for the liberal Nation magazine attributed Saturday’s “not guilty” verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin to “white supremacy.”

“This verdict is a crystal-clear illustration of the way white supremacy operates in America,” wrote blogger Aura Bogado Sunday, even while recognizing that Zimmerman and his family are, in part, Hispanic.

“They are not white,” Bogado wrote.
“Yet Zimmerman’s apparent ideology — one that is suspicious of black men in his neighborhood, the ‘assholes who always get away’ — is one that adheres to white supremacy. …
When Zimmerman was acquitted today, it wasn’t because he’s a so-called white Hispanic.
He’s not.
It’s because he abides by the logic of white supremacy, and was supported by a defense team — and a swath of society — that supports the lingering idea that some black men must occasionally be killed with impunity in order to keep society-at-large safe.”"

10 Year Old Boy Denied Water By Teacher On Hottest Day Of Year To Avoid Upsetting Muslims During Ramadan

10 Year Old Boy Denied Water By Teacher On Hottest Day Of Year To Avoid Upsetting Muslims During Ramadan (Geller, Atlas Shrugs) | The D.C. Clothesline:
"An angry mother has accused a primary school of denying her child water on one of the hottest days of the year for fear of upsetting pupils observing Ramadan.

Kora Blagden, 32, claimed a teacher at her son Luke’s school refused to let the 10-year old drink from his water bottle because it was unfair to fasting classmates. Many pupils at Charles Dickens Primary School, Portsmouth, Hampshire, are fasting during Ramadan, which means they refrain from taking food or water between sunrise and sunset for around 30 days, depending on the moon."

Warren ancestry claim puts light on corrupt system

Warren ancestry claim puts light on corrupt system | WashingtonExaminer.com:
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren:
"And a researcher at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found that in a transcript of an 1894 marriage application, Warren's great-great-great-grandmother listed herself as Cherokee.

It's a heritage to be proud of. The Cherokee were one of the "civilized tribes," and their leader, Sequoyah, created an ingenious 86-letter alphabet. You can see it, together with English, on street signs in Tahlequah, Okla.

Let's assume the 1894 document is accurate. That makes Warren 1-32nd Native American. 

George Zimmerman, the Florida accused murderer, had a black grandmother. That makes him one-fourth black, four times as black as Warren is Indian, though the New York Times describes him as a "white Hispanic."

What's wrong with what Warren did? Capehart seems to understand that. "The implication in these stories is that Warren used minority status to advance her career," he writes."

I spent a little time browsing FBI Crime Stats for 2010(Last year that has been finalized) and made some interesting discoveries.
Did you know that 90% of blacks are murdered by blacks, and 83% of whites are murdered by whites?

Did you know that there are 14.82 murders per 100K by blacks versus 2.17 per 100K for whites?

Per capita there are 7x more murdrs committed by blacks than whites."
