An Empire Strikes Home: Part Two Militarizing Law Enforcement / Domestic Military Deployment
In Part One of “An Empire Strikes Home” we focused on a sad shooting death involving the Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff’s Department regional multi-jurisdictional S.W.A.T. team. We also spotlighted several Arizona news articles in which the Sheriff’s Department issued conflicting stories regarding the S.W.A.T. raid. The published statements began by claiming that the suspect initiated and conducted a “standoff” and started a “gun battle” with deputies who had come to his home to serve a warrant.
I think that everyone knows that for any government action involving shooting of a citizen those kind of reports is the proper (meaning, from LE’s perspective) way this sort of operation should be presented to the press and to the public – the cops are the good guys and the dopers are the bad guys.
When SWAT showed up to enforce the law one of the bad guys had the audacity to draw down on the good guys as they were busting in his front door. As the acceptable, just, and lawful scenario was presented to the press, the good guys prevailed and the bad guy failed.
Message done, cut and dried, clean and closed, nothing more to see here, now move along to the next five-second news sound bite and have a nice day.
The public will take that kind of story and say, “Oh well, that ‘bad guy’ should have thought twice before choosing a life of crime, and it’s no loss to society that he’s gone. Too bad about the widow and fatherless children she’ll raise alone now – she married the wrong dude. The man was associated with marijuana, so he must be a ‘bad guy’. Live by the gun, die by the gun.”
That is, generally speaking, how a significant part of the public would see this event by reading the first Sheriff’s Department accounting of the death of Jose Guerena. And that is the desired perception which the Sheriff’s Department and higher-ups wished to present for public consumption, for that is the perception which will spare the County the trouble of more extensive damage control. If it works.
Days later, however, the Pima County Arizona Sheriff’s Department confessed that Jose Guerena did not shoot at the officers. Tough luck for Sheriff Dupnik, drat.

VERBATIM POST
Just another weekend in Black Run America. Flash Mobs robbing local businesses. Roving packs of thugs attacking tourists. A large mob of angry, violent thugs taking over a neighborhood’s streets chanting “Kill all the white people.” This is what Black Run America looks like. This video shot at Howard University Strip in Washington D.C. during the Caribbean Day Festival.
Reports are that at least 4 people were shot during this riot, too.
It’s almost as if black youths cannot be trusted to congregate en mass in public without it turning into a riot or a looting spree. Again — my advice to you this summer is to not go anywhere where young black kids are congregating or meeting. Especially music festivals that celebrate “black music” or “black culture.”
Pack animals. Pure and simple.
This video is not an aberration. It’s the norm, rather than the exception.
Oh, and if you can bare it, go read the 1000+ comments to that video. Almost none of them are written in intelligible English. Is it any wonder that the unemployment rate for black men by age are:
- 16 to 19 year old black men – 86% not employed
- 20 to 24 year old black men – 56% not employed
- 25 to 29 year old black men – 35% not employed
English. The proper use of. In written and spoken form. Look into it.
List of firearm confiscationist yellow rat bastards for tomorrow's not-hearing by old "Bloody Hands.
U.S. Rep. Elijah "Bloody Hands" Cummings -- so called because he had control of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee prior to the 2010 elections and never held an oversight hearing that might have addressed ATF management problems and short-circuited the Gunwalker Scandal -- is holding something of a hoplophobe indoor garden party tomorrow.
Channing Turner at Main Justice called this hopped-up advertisement for gun control a "minority hearing." It is not, for Cummings doesn't have the authority to call a formal hearing on his own.

Dave Workman calls it a "forum" or “briefing.”
The quintessential hoplophobic collectivist creep Senator Chuck Schumer will be there.
Bring back the British! Most Jamaicans say they would be better off ruled from London
Royalist: Enthusiasm for the monarchy is still widespread as this young girl with a Queen's Jubilee flag and the Jamaican National Flag shows
=========================================
Most Jamaicans believe they would be better off if they were still ruled by Britain, a poll shows.
In a harsh indictment of nearly 50 years of independence, 60 per cent of those surveyed hanker for the days when the country was Britain’s biggest Caribbean colony.
Only 17 per cent said the crime-ridden, poverty-stricken nation would be worse off under British rule.
The depth of feeling is particularly astonishing as generations of Jamaican leaders have portrayed the British as oppressors who subjected the Caribbean to slavery.
Class ring turns up 51 years after flushed down toilet
Via The Feral Irishman
RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - On Friday in High Point, North Carolina, Thomas Wray Kidd plans to meet a man who will deliver a piece of jewelry and a part of his past he thought was gone forever.It is a class of '62 ring, gold with a red gemstone from Jackson High School in Jackson, North Carolina. Kidd has not seen the ring since he gave it to his girlfriend in nearby Roanoke Rapids half a century ago, and she accidentally dropped it in her toilet mid-flush.
The girlfriend, Dianne Shearin, was aghast. Her father had a plumber pull the toilet and snake the pipes. "The plumber finally told them, 'Hey, that ring is gone,'" Kidd recalled in an interview Monday.
But it was not gone for good. When a storm pipe collapsed in Roanoke Rapids recently and a repair crew responded, a foreman named Dwayne Johnson found the long lost ring.
It was just a few blocks from where it had gone into the sewer in 1960.
Where is the REAL birth certificate?
VERBATIM POSTThe electronic document released by the White House is confirmed to be a forgery:
============================Bitmap text versus antialiasing text: Notice the bitmap X checkbox in question compared to the antialiased X checkbox in question "e" – major inconsistency.I find it remarkable that the White House is releasing forged documents and the mainstream media still has absolutely no interest in the story despite the fact that the release of the document disproved nearly all of their previous defenses of Mr. Obama/Soetoro/Soebarkah's presidential eligibility. No doubt they'll all be taken completely by surprise when Obama declines the Democratic nomination for "health reasons" or "to spend more time with his family".
Additionally, the checkboxes are slightly different widths and positioned differently. (Pixels of checkboxes on the bottom right overlap line pixels below, almost as if the boxes were copied and pasted and manually positioned).
Some letter characters are identical, pixel for pixel, almost as if they were copied and pasted and then moved into position. For example, the lowercase "i" in the word Inside is identical to the first "i" in judicial. There are many similar identical instances as there are dissimilar typesetting examples of different fonts – both suggesting compilation of a document digitally.
Irregular typesetting spacing which is not consistent with proportional spacing used by computers or monospacing used by typewriters in 1961 – but is consistent with copy and pasting and moving letters around. Example: The word "Yes," which has too much space between "Y" and "e" and not enough space between "e" and "s."
"A normal document scanned and saved as a PDF file would not display these inconsistencies unless the document had been digitally altered," she said. "A digitally altered document is by definition a manufactured document, or in everyday parlance – a forgery."
"My guess is that the creator of this document was inexperienced when it comes to a multitude of concepts in using Adobe software," Zebest said. "Whoever forged the Obama birth certificate might have known enough to be dangerous, but not enough to know how to cover up their tracks."
We don't have a lapdog media any more, but one that sees its primary role as acting as the federal government's defense attorney.

King of mercenaries in their old age

VERBATIM POST
Once I asked, not if I'm going to write a post about Bob Denard. I honestly answered no, because it is not my hero and I know about it as much as everyone else. I still stick to the same opinion, however, some stuff I want to lay out. The fact that the officer in charge of intelligence, it is useful to have extensive links. Ossares always approached the business very seriously, so that friends and acquaintances he had - polplanety. And Denard including. An entire chapter in his book "I have not said everything" is dedicated to this king of mercenaries. By the way, Ossares, himself a secret agent, said that Denard was also related to security services, he was assigned the cases that were not in the hands of state do. bodies. In general, such Ossares uttered, and so (killing jumpers Ben M `Go (official version - suicide), obtaining money by reselling the special services of opium, etc., etc.) that I completely understand how it is still not pristuknuli somewhere in a dark little corner ...
"In recent years, Americans and Clint Eastwood in person contact with him, wanting to make a movie about his life as a mercenary. They wanted to buy the rights to his memoir. The French government has indicated that it would not be delighted if this film will be released and the Americans withdrew. Finally they gave Denaro choice: submit them to court for breach of contract or receive compensation. Of course, he chose the second option.
After receiving the money, he made two silly: bought a Belgian magazine devoted to the mercenaries, which was a copy of «Soldiers of fortune». Texts of his, I told him, were poorly written, the state is too bloated, and there were problems with the payment of wages. He suffered a fiasco, and Bob is almost destroyed.
Finally, since he was 8 women and 9 children throughout his life of adventure, he imbued with the idea to combine them. I warned him that it would lead to disaster. He has spent thousands to encourage them all to come to his parents' home, where his sister, and he found himself among all his ex and children. Later I asked him if they are not killed each other. "No, - replied Bob, - worse. They became friends. " (Oh, poor peasant had! Eight ex-wives, present a united front ... sorry just right! - K-K)
Poor Bob. When I saw him last, he walked with a cane. I asked him is panache or necessity? He took my right hand and placed it on his head. The head was Skinhead and could find a hole. "What a hole, Bob?" - Asked him. "And, you know, I shlopotat two bullets into the skull in Rhodesia and my girlfriend, Marie-Elise them pulled. I mean, she was a veterinarian. "
I looked through several articles on the Russian Internet Denard. In many of his real name was Gilbert Bourgeaud misspelled. Where the Borgo, where Borj, while he Bourget. Well, the French now, few people know more English. But if you write an article in the "Spark", then we can attract and professionals.
