EXCERPT

While in Ferguson, Sharpton met with the Brown family and reported back directly to Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s closest aides.

Sharpton was directed to find out specific information including what the Brown family wanted from the White House, Politico reports.

The veteran activist, who is also leading Saturday’s march on Staten Island against police brutality in New York, even suggested Jarrett turn up the heat on Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, and appoint a special prosecutor to replace St. Louis prosecutor Bob McCulloch in the Brown case.

EXCERPTS

In Trayvon’s case, (Parks & Crump) alerted the news media more quickly. They phoned the Rev. Al Sharpton almost instantly, and organized marches with local civil rights activists. They also started pressing for federal involvement and alleging a cover-up from the get-go.

“In court, you have the jury,” Crump says. “Our job is to get the case to a jury. We need to fight first in the court of public opinion. The jury is the American people.

I’m surprised Sharpton didn’t claim Michael Brown had racial slurs written on him body and covered in feces.

Actually we don’t know that he didn’t.

Wow. The Parks and Crump lawyer team have the ear of the White House? I’m surprised they admitted it.

The lawyers want a special prosecutor (especially a friendly to their cause) because they want an arrest. They realize the chance of an arrest with a grand jury is far less given the evidence that’s coming out.

Once they get an arrest, then a civil suit is possible. That’s where the money is.

Always follow the money.

Someone Must Be Punished for Killing Trayvon Martin, Says Mom Sybrina Fulton
by Allison Samuels Mar 22, 2012 2:04 AM EDT

EXCERPT

The now controversial killing of Trayvon garnered virtually no mainstream media attention in the days immediately after he was fatally shot, but that all changed when the teenager’s parents decided to hire civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and his law firm to get more answers on exactly how and why their son died.

“They called me the same day they were notified that their son was dead,’’ Crump told The Daily Beast. “When I heard their unarmed teenage son was shot to death, I just knew there’d be an arrest shortly. There wasn’t an arrest 48 hours later, and then I knew we’d have to take this outside of Sanford if we wanted justice.’’

Trayvon’s parents were told by the Sanford police that Zimmerman wasn’t arrested in their son’s death because the facts of the case did not dispute his claim of self-defense.

For Crump, taking the Trayvon Martin story outside of Sanford simply entailed dialing up a few well-placed friends such as the Rev. Al Sharpton. Crump worked closely with the civil rights leader in 2006 on another racially charged case—the controversial death of a 14-year-old, African-American inmate of a Florida boot camp.

“I had to call people like Sharpton and a few other black civil rights leaders and the black media to tell them about this story,’’ said Crump. “I had to get them to understand what happened to this young man and what hadn’t happened in his case so they could spread the word.’’

Historically, cases of murder and violence against blacks in the United States rarely have been given the same amount of attention as cases in which the victims of crime are white—and often go unnoticed and unprosecuted.

Just days after hearing the details of Trayvon’s death, Sharpton arranged to have Crump and the teenager’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, on his syndicated radio show and his popular MSNBC show, Politics Nation, to tell their story.

(snip)

In the wake of non-stop media attention from the likes of Sharpton and CNN’s Don Lemon concerning the Trayvon Martin case, black media blogs such as MediaTakeOut.com and Huffington Post Black Voices also began publishing accounts and editorials about the Florida case—daily. Almost instantly, readers of all races, ages, and backgrounds began tweeting and posting on Facebook their outrage over how the police have handled the case, and the lack of an arrest in the shooting. To date, almost 1 million people have signed a Change.Org petition to have Zimmerman arrested. In response to the widespread outrage, the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the shooting.

Like the last Tsar and Tsarina of Russia who had "the Mad Monk" Rasputin as a close advisor and sinister influence, so has Obama who has the Iranian Valputin Jarrett as his sinister influence, and now, it appears, the Rev. Sharputin who, like Rasputin, is a debased religious charlatan.

One can only speculate at what other unknown creepy "advisors" infest the White House, sitting at the right hand of the Messiah, filling his ears with treasonous, subversive and lawless counsel. We may never know.

Tom DeLay used to be an exterminator by trade. He should be called in to decontaminate the entire building before the next president is seated in the Oval Office.

Among the many signs that we have fallen as a civilization, and are now coasting on momentum to the inevitable 3rd World crash, I will consider Al “The Race Pimp” Sharpton reporting on a race-oriented case directly to Valerie Jarrett at the White House to be one of the surest signs.
