    "http://www.pjtv.com/s/GEZDSMRS" The only video anyone needs to watch concerning the George Zimmerman - Trayvon Martin Circus. Awesome presentation by Bill Whittle sets straight the facts, including photos and evidence from the scene of the fight. Incredibly, the Obama - Holder "race hustling poverty pimp" show is trying to blame white-on-black racial violence and the "Stand your ground" laws as the problem. Funny but George Zimmerman is about as "white" as Obama is. If Obama, whose mother was white, attacked a black man, would that be considered "white-on-black"? How is it any different with Zimmerman, whose father is white, and mother Latino? And the "Stand your ground" law was never a factor in this case. Zimmerman's defense was 100% based on basic self defense. Nor did the prosecution bring up "Stand your ground" or otherwise reference the law. So how is that an issue with race hustling poverty pimps? Well, the pimps out to destroy the Second Amendment rights of 310 million Americans. In spite of the fact that guns are the weapon of choice that millions of black families, living in the urban lawlessness of socialist American cities, use to defend themselves and their families. Wherever the gun control nazis succeed, the black-on-black crime rates soar. Bill Whittle continues to be my favorite commentator.

Economy Roundtable - Coast to Coast AM - 0 views

    "Date: 05-07-14 Host: George Noory Guests: Catherine Austin Fitts, Gerald Celente, George Ure, Robert Zimmerman This special panel discussion on the economy and related topics featured investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts, trends analyst Gerald Celente, and consultant George Ure. Currently, the financial system is still being pumped with cheap money, such as $45 billion a month in mortgage-backed securities, and interest rates remain at record lows-- but once those interest rates go back up, the economy will tumble, said Celente. Fitts cited the continued inequality and centralization in the economy as hampering growth, while Ure noted that we're in the bottoming process with the Fed, which is trying to print money fast enough so we don't drop into something like the Great Depression. While the US continues its behind-closed-doors propping up of the economy, "I still believe we're going to see something like a panic level by the end of the second quarter," Celente remarked. America used to be the land of opportunity, but now the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few, he added. Globalization is lowering the wealth of the middle class, and the reality is "we're automating or outsourcing jobs, and putting people on government checks," Fitts commented. Ure, who studies cyclical patterns of the economy or "long waves," said right now we're seeing a "war on cash," with a huge effort to get people into an electronic system, where all their transactions and investments can be tracked. The revelations by Edward Snowden about America's surveillance state has had a depressing effect on US economic growth, as well as inspiring other countries around the world to pull out of the system, Fitts suggested. "We live in a country where the system of creating money has basically been sublet from Congress to the Federal Reserve...and government is wholesale now, in the business of granting different franchises such as in communications and money operations," Ure detail

Israel accused of being 'apartheid state' by US black rights group | Middle East Eye - 0 views

  • The US-based Black Lives Matter movement has called Israel an "apartheid state" and said it is joining the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign over acts of "genocide against the Palestinian people".The Platform of the Movement for Black Lives, which speaks for the wider campaign and calls for the “end to the war against Black people”, on Monday issued the campaign's first comprehensive document setting out positions on US federal policies.Platform document addresses mostly American foreign policy, but singled out Israel in light of the billions of dollars military aid given to Israel by the United StatesThe charter states: “Israel is an apartheid state with over 50 laws on the book that sanction discrimination against the Palestinian people”, and added that the US, through its relations with the country, was “complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people”.
  • Pro-Israel and pro-Jewish groups were however quick to condemn the BLM statement.The Jewish Community Relations council based in Boston said it planned to disassociate from any group aligned with Black Lives Matter.
  • BLM was set up in 2012 after George Zimmerman was acquitted of the murder of 17-year old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, and to fight for what is says is the "virulent anti-black racism that permeates" American society.Palestinian activists famously used social media to give Black Lives Matter activists tips on how to deal with the inhalation of tear gas, after the police violently cracked down on protests in 2014 that erupted in Ferguson, Missouri following the death by the police of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown.  Activists aligned with Black Lives Matter have also frequently visited the occupied West Bank as part of “solidarity tours” aimed at learning about the situation on the ground.Prominent Black artists and actors, including Danny Glover and Lauryn Hill, released a video last year to highlight the connection between African-Americans and Palestinians living under occupation, following the Israeli assault on Gaza in 2014 that coincided with the protests in Ferguson, Missouri. Under the moniker "Black-Palestinian solidarity", the group said it was founded "in the course of resilience against the merciless edge of state-violence, protesters in Ferguson held up signs declaring solidarity with the people of Palestine".Numerous solidarity protests have also been held in London following the recent outburst of protests against police and state violence towards blacks in the US.Activists this morning shut down routes to key transport hubs in Britain, including London's Heathrow airport and a motorway in Birmingham, in protest at deaths in police custody and the deaths of black asylum seekers in immigration detention centres.

    This is a coalition that has been in the brew for some time, very influential particularly on college campuses.
