The Hidden Agenda of the Zimmerman Arrest

The following link is to a very long article, but it is well worth reading in order to understand what was actually going on behind the scenes (and either oblivious to the media or they were ordered not to share any investigative material about it all) during the entire Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman fiasco.

The Conservative Treehouse.com: A Nation of George Zimmermans Awakened – Understand The Fraud – Post Verdict of Acquittal ….


I learned A LOT that I wasn't previously aware of from that post! However, I DO recall hearing this statement:

“We are not asking that he [Zimmerman] be convicted; We are asking that he be arrested.”

-Benjamin Crump Esq. Attorney for Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fuller (Quoted to Piers Morgan on 4/3/2012)


*******

The moment that I heard that statement (which was quoted over a year ago) I thought that it was a very odd one!   Does it sound like a strange comment to you, too?

The article continues:

And there you have it, the ulterior motive, the hidden agenda:
 
MONEY !


The Trayvon family is not seeking justice in the form you would think. No, they are seeking monetary justice, or more directly monetary gain. THAT is the motivation; and the absence of an “arrest” is what stands between them and their ability to sue in civil court”.

Refuting Anti-Zionism

I must admit that it is highly disappointing and disturbing to me when a blog post topic inadvertently spins out of control and ends up including a "blame the Jews" guest commentary that really had nothing to do with the original topic. That is what I found when I recently revisited Professor Tracy's Memory Hole blog.  After reading it, my heart sank.

For anyone who has been following Professor Tracy's research regarding the inconsistencies in the Sandy Hook school shooting, you just might be as surprised as I was at his "allowing" a blogger named James Fetzer to post what appears to be an anti-Semitic (but more accurately, turns out to be anti-Zionist) rant against the Jews. If you read the link above, you will see the letter written by a blogger who commented against the original post:


Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 12:18 AM
Subject: Reader Comment
Comment: Dear Professor Tracy,
I am writing you to protest the anti-Jewish, anti-Israel bias of James Fetzer. Without any supporting documentation or proof, he declares in his articles that Israel is responsible for the Sandy Hook massacre and previous staged events. This is highly irresponsible. How dare he!
If he has any valid argument or evidence to back up his outrageous claim, he should state it. Otherwise, he should keep his own hateful opinion to himself and stop trying to indoctrinate your readers into becoming anti-Semitic bigots.
 
It is best to read the entire back-and-forth arguments over there, but my focus here is to address the supposed difference between someone being anti-Semitic vs. anti-Zionist.

Here is another brief excerpt from the Memory Hole blog:

What has struck me most about your email to Professor Tracy is your complete failure to distinguish between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Is this a difference you don’t understand?

VT and I are both anti-Zionist but are not anti-Semitic. Since you are reading some of my articles, where do you find me dismissing the opinions of others or their value as human beings on the basis of their ethnic heritage or religious faith? I and others at VT are critics of the actions and policies of the State of Israel, including of course its grossly abusive treatment of the Palestinian people. That is NOT anti-Semitism.

It is not anti-Semitic to raise objections to the violation of the rights of Palestinians and repeated violations of UN mandates. A rather large and growing segment of the world’s population regards Israel as running the largest concentration camp in the world at Gaza. It bulldozed peace activist Rachel Corrie to death, and its IDF forces are known for picking off Palestinian children for sport. You abuse the word, but it properly applies to such actions by the Israeli government. They ARE filth!
 
In the typical "blame the Jews" and "blame Israel" mindset of liberal leftists here in America, the Arab Muslims have no blame put upon themselves for the horrible conditions for their people or the constant war against Israel situation in Gaza. 

When the so-called "leaders," like Hamas, would rather spend millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars, to buy weapons and rockets to send into Israel to kill and maim her people along with their edict to destroy (push Israel into the sea) the Jewish state rather than buy food, create a better infrastructure, educate their populace and teach PEACE RATHER THAN HATE against Israel; how is it that the Jewish state and Christian Zionism is to be blamed for all of the Palestinian ills and the obvious plight of their people?

I did a brief search and found two opposing Christian opinions regarding Christian support for Israel and Zionism.

This first link is against Christian Zionism:

Media Monitors Network: Zionism versus the Bible

Admittedly, it would take me a lot of time to type out rebuttals to most of what the writer at Media Monitors Network says regarding his essay pitting Zionism against the Bible.  I will make a guess that this was written by a leftist.  For one thing, the spelling and grammatical errors are very apparent.  For another thing, his misuse of Scripture is quite evident.  Here is one example:

Zionists say, based on their non-literal, speculative, spiritualized interpretation of Genesis 12:3, that we are to give total, unquestioned support to some of Abraham’s children, while others of Abraham’s children are to be hated, persecuted, ethnically cleansed, bombed back into the Stone Age, maybe even nuked.
I do not know of any Christian Zionists who think like that or would agree with such a barbaric "solution." Fighting against Muslim terrorists is not the same thing as what this author incorrectly presupposes in his rant. And labeling all Christian Zionists under such a ridiculous label is a LIE. So much for the author's subheading at his blog that states, "...where truth prevails."

Yes. The author is entitled to his own opinion but labeling it as truth is another subject entirely.

He goes on to write:

But in Genesis 21:13, 17-18 God also bestows His blessing on Ishmael and his descendants, saying, "For I will make him a great nation." According to the same principles of interpretation by which we have made Genesis 12:3 a command for political support of the modern nation of Israel, Genesis 21:18 must be taken as a command for political support of the modern Arab nations. (Anybody want to start up a "Christian Ishmaelist" movement to lobby for Arab national greatness?)
 
Years ago, during the "Ismail Ax" writings discovered after the Virginia Tech murders, I wrote a blog post which included the difference in how God views Isaac vs. Ishmael.

In the Face of Evil Updates from Talk Wisdom:

If you scroll down, you will see "The TRUTH from the Bible (NKJV). I will share two excerpts of Scripture written there and a brief comment:

Gen 22:1 NOW it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

Gen 22:2 Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."


Gen 22:3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

*******

Note what God says to Abraham in Genesis 22:2 -  "Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac,"  YOUR ONLY SON!

Note what the Bible says about Ishmael (Ismail in Arabic):


Gen 17:19 Then God said: "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

Gen 17:20 "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.


Gen 17:21 "But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year."

Gen 17:22 Then He finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.


Notice that God's Covenant is established with Isaac and his descendants. Ishmael's descendants were only referred to as a "great nation."

The term "great" can mean both large and/or  wonderful.  We know that the Arab nation lands are hundreds of times larger than tiny Israel - which is a nation the size of New Jersey.  History can determine whether or not both meanings of the word "great" apply to the Arab descendants of Ishmael.

The following essay is written in support of Christian Zionism:

Jewish Virtual Library: Christian Zionism

Excerpt:


Christian Zionism can be defined as Christian support for the Zionist cause — the return of the Jewish people to its biblical homeland in Israel. It is a belief among some Christians that the return of Jews to Israel is in line with a biblical prophecy, and is necessary for Jesus to return to Earth as its king. These Christians are partly motivated by the writings of the Bible and the words of the prophets. However, they are also driven to support Israel because they wish to “repay the debt of gratitude to the Jewish people for providing Christ and the other fundamentals of their faith,” and to support a political ally, according to David Brog, author Standing With Israel: Why Christians Support the Jewish State.
 
Christian Zionists interpret both the Torah and the New Testament as prophetic texts that describe future events of how the world will one day end with the return of Jesus from Heaven to rule on Earth. Israel and its people are central to their vision. They interpret passages from the books of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Isaiah as foreshadowing the coming Christian era. The New Testament Book of Revelation is read by many Christians as a prophetic text of how the world will be in the End Times.
 
Christian support for Israel is not a recent development. Its political roots reach as far back to the 1880s, when a man named William Hechler formed a committee of Christian Zionists to help move Russian Jewish refugees to Palestine after a series of pogroms. In 1884, Hechler wrote a pamphlet called “The Restoration of Jews to Palestine According to the Prophets.” A few years later, he befriended Theodor Herzl after reading Herzl’s book The Jewish State, and joined Herzl to drum up support for Zionism. Hechler even arranged a meeting between Herzl and Kaiser Wilhelm II to discuss Herzl’s proposal to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. The two men remained close friends up until Herzl’s death in 1904.
 
An important milestone in the history of Christian Zionism occurred in 1979, almost a century after William Hechler approached Herzl and offered to mobilize Christian support for a Jewish state: the founding of the Moral Majority. Founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell, the Moral Majority was an organization made up of conservative Christian political action committees that succeeded in mobilizing like-minded individuals to register and vote for conservative candidates. With nearly six million members, it became a powerful voting bloc during the 1980s and was credited for giving Ronald Reagan the winning edge in the 1980 elections. One of the Moral Majority’s four founding principles was “support for Israel and Jewish people everywhere.”
 
In 1980, Falwell, who ran a television ministry that reached millions of viewers, said of Israel: “I firmly believe God has blessed America because America has blessed the Jew. If this nation wants her fields to remain white with grain, her scientific achievements to remain notable, and her freedom to remain intact, America must continue to stand with Israel.” Falwell disbanded the Moral Majority in 1989, but conservative Christians have remained vocal supporters of Israel though they lacked a strong formal structure for pro-Israel political action.
 
Christian Zionists, through their volunteer work, political support, and financial assistance to Israel and Jewish causes, have shown that they are stalwart friends of Israel. They have donated large sums of money to support Israel, including to charities that pay the costs of bringing Jews from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia to Israel. For example, Pastor John Hagee has raised more than $4.7 million for the United Jewish Communities. Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to help poor Jews across the world move to Israel.

Corporate Media’s “Lone Gunman” Storyline Losing Ground

Memory Hole Blog has a new post up entitled: "Corporate Media’s “Lone Gunman” Storyline Losing Ground. This is another in a series of Talk Wisdom Reports - You Decide posts regarding the unanswered questions surrounding the Sandy Hook school massacre.

Excerpt:

A cross section of kill-to-injury ratios of major mass shootings suggests that if Adam Lanza acted alone in carrying out the Sandy Hook Elementary School carnage he was among the most accurate killers in modern history, exceeding even the lethal damage meted out by Al Capone’s machine gun-wielding henchmen in the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.

Note this chart [H/T Memory Hole Blog]:

Incident, # of shooters, weapon(s) usedShotKilledWoundedKill-to-wounded ratio
SANDY HOOK (2012) 1 shooter, AR-15, .2232726 (96.2%)1 (3.8%)26:1

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (1929) 2 shooters, .45 submachine guns76 (85.8%)1 (14.2%)6:1
Anyone can see why so many are questioning the "official story" (a.k.a. the media-of-mass-deception-and-corruption's version of events).  Researchers are finding much evidence that demonstrated that the truth about the Newtown school shooting is being covered up.

Second excerpt:

Never mind the facts, however. The public has been repeatedly told by corporate news media that the December 14, 2012 incident was exclusively carried out by the awkward 20-year-old man with virtually no firearms or military training.
 
In the comment section, I found a link to Can Speccy.com which alerted me to a video tape found at Dr. Oz's website where a student who survived the massacre said in response to Dr. Oz's question,  "When we were having a drill, we were hiding under, like..." The boy was abruptly interrupted by Dr. Oz who said for him to take his time; but then led him to discuss something else by asking a question about his teachers.

Dr. Oz:   "Take your time. Don't hurry ... Let me ask you: what would you like to say to your teachers about Friday?

Doctor Oz.com [to view videotape]

Transcript from Can Speccy site:

Louis:
Yes, I remembered that a lot, a lot of policemen were, um, in the school. Well, a lot, I was like hiding under ... When we were having a drill, we were hiding under, like ...
Dr. Oz:

Take your time. Don't hurry ... Let me ask you: what would you like to say to your teachers about Friday?
Louis:

I dunno, but. It's like ...
Dr. Oz.

You appreciate your teachers?
Louis:

Yeah.


So...was it a drill gone live and awry?  Or was it all just a deception?
 
Let's go back to the post at Memory Hole blog:


Indeed, as information recently pointed to by Digital Journal indicates,[2] in a widescale rush to judgment major news media have neglected vital information and statements from Connecticut state authorities suggesting that Lanza may have had accomplices.

In a December 26 court plea to postpone release of contents yielded through five search warrants, Connecticut State Attorney General Stephen Sedensky argued that unsealing such findings might “seriously jeopardize” the investigation by divulging evidence heretofore known only to other “potential suspects.”

Pointing to “information in the search warrant affidavits that is not known to the general public,” Sedensky also argued that opening the warrants would “identify persons cooperating with the investigation, thus possibly jeopardizing their personal safety and well-being.”

The prosecutor’s statement came less than two weeks after Connecticut State Police Lieutenant J. Paul Vance told reporters how there were “some cards that we’re holding close to our vest.”

In light of the above and alongside a wealth of additional evidence calling the “official story” into question, the corporate news media’s long-running and continued emphasis of the “lone gunman” narrative appears increasingly fraudulent. The question remains whether this is merely a case of slipshod reporting or part of a more intentional mass deception against the American public.

A Letter from Hobby Lobby Stores CEO

With a hat tip to my friend Steve over at Cry and Howl, I am passing along a letter from the CEO of Hobby Lobby. You will notice that at the end of David Green's letter, he asks for readers to share it because he knows that the media of mass deception certainly won't!

This is just more evidence of the HUGE mistake that ObaMAO Hellcare is - and its gradual implementation reveals more and more what awful legislation it really is and how the Demoncraps utilized schemes, cheating, threats, and changing of the rules in Congress in order to shove this UNWANTED, radical and terrible bill down the throat's of the American people back in 2010.  

We will all pay a high price for this if SOMETHING isn't done to stop it.  God bless Hobby Lobby for being willing to fight it in court!

~  Christine

Copy of letter via Before Its News:


Via Red Tracy:
By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God’s word. From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.

We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that’s what we’ve tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week’s biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God’s grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We’ve not only added jobs in a weak economy, we’ve raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.

But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government health care mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one. If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.

Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running it’s business according to it’s beliefs. It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it’s the same for everybody. But that’s not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won’t exempt them for reasons of religious belief.

So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don’t like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that’s a choice no American and no American business should have to make.

The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.

Since you will not see this covered in any of the liberal media, pass this on to all your contacts.

Sincerely,
David Green, CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Update On Controversy Over Obama's Ring

The criticism remains regarding the Arabic writing on Obama's ring. The following website has an important update about the ring.  Aaron Klein Online: Is It Real? Obama's "No God But Allah Ring."
It is an audio report (not very long) that discusses the controversy.

The important thing to realize is that it was originally a LIBERAL website - The Huffington Post ( I refuse to link to them so search there on your own) - which first showed a photo of the ring online back in 2010. That is the photo that Jerome Corsi utilized in his story.    However, there is another photo now going around (and being used by one or more of the usual so-called fact "debunking" sites - which are all basically liberal and loyal supporters of Obama) that shows the ring altered.

During the audio report, Mr. Klein and Mr. Corsi discuss the fact that Obama's ring was "in for repair" .    Is it just a coincidence that the Huffingtom Post article appeared in March, 2010 and then Obama has his ring "in for repair" in September, 2010?

What kind of repair, I wonder?   From the looks of the Snopes photo, the so-called "repair" job looks more like jewelry repair disaster!  Doesn't it look damaged here?? (again...scroll down to photo.)

Hmmm....

From the beginning, this has been a "Talk Wisdom Reports...You Decide" issue.   If it turns out that I and these reporters were wrong, I will admit it.  But I am still trying to follow the evidence - wherever it leads.  I don't read or speak Arabic, but those who do have pointed out the Arabic writing contained in the ring.  The photos can be seen HERE. Scroll down the page to view them.

Update:  Here are the photos for comparison.
