The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America
American Thinker ^ | September 12, 2019 | Joel Gilbert

Posted on 09/14/2019 12:48:04 PM PDT by Twotone

After a painstaking investigation into the Trayvon Martin shooting, I have produced a film and written a companion book, both called The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America. Only after I started the project did I realize I had stumbled onto the most spectacular case of identity fraud in modern American judicial history. Thanks to the folks at American Thinker for allowing me to reveal it here for the first time.

I had originally set out to produce a documentary about the rise of 2018 Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum. The more I looked into Gillum’s success, however, the more need I saw to investigate the unanswered questions of the criminal case upon which Gillum built his career.

I had followed the 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and the subsequent trial of George Zimmerman from afar and, like many others, I had grave concerns about the lynch mob mentality that drove the case.

There was nothing special or peculiar about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. Such things happen regularly in the USA. The only difference was that Obama and his political operations center, the US DOJ, decided this would be the launch pad for a hyped-up media and political-organizing campaign.

Zimmerman was able to get his gun and shot Trayvon in the chest in self-defense.

It is also relevant that Zimmerman didn't try to use his gun until Trayvon discovered it, while beating him, and tried to take it from Zimmerman.

It was absolutely do or die at that point.

All One has to do is watch the close circuit video of Mr. Martin strong arming the guy in the mini mart ...

That was Michael Brown not Trayvon Martin.

‘Witness fraud’ is putting it mildly. Race trumps all, for some.

The media has so warped our system of justice that in the future it will be impossible to prosecute anyone the media defends. Guilt is irrelevant. (RE: see FBI/CIA/DOJ versus Trump. Impossible to prosecute.)

I do think posting this makes us look like it hits. Maybe I’m in the minority.

To: Twotone; All

The following comments are from my website scrolled to after the article on Parkland Florida and the war on the NRA which should have been about the promise policies used at that school.

The leadership of the so called political opposition (Republican) will wonder why as they lose a crucial election because of their inability to stand on principles. When Presidential actions should have been denouced and the police defended. When as President Obama initiated his racial division policy through the abuse of the “Bully Pulpit’ which went unchalanged and subsequently led to attacks on law enforcement. The only person to courageously do so was Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and has because he is black received the “Uncle Tom” treatment

Clarke decried Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” to create racial division which wound up using other similar incidents such as Ferguson MO and NYC.. Where Obama supported by the media would defend the attacker resisting arrest killed in the struggle over a law officers gun. Alledging the attacker was an “unarmed victim” of police brutality because he was black. Subsequently. There were continuous attacks on police ending up in a score of deaths.It Began when Obama used a non descript incident known as The Zimmerman trial and encouraged racial division through his twice use of the “Bully Pulpit”

. Obama defended the black attacker who was killed (a 17 year old 5’11 175 pound Trayvon Martin) by a 40 something year old 5’6” black hispanic (Jorge Zimmerman) working security in an integrated housing complex that was attacked by Martin knocking Zimmerman to the ground and the black youth was killed in a struggle over Zimmerman’s gun.

The media portayed the incident as Martin was an innocent black youth murdered in cold blood because he was black and the guard as a white hispanic guarding an exclusive white “gated”community .

Obama used the incident to declare racial division by using the “Bully Pulpit” declaring Martin was a victim of whites who could have been; First; “his son”, then; Obama himself.

When that inflammatory defense was picked by black gangs It also wound up and was used as an excuse to commit a score of racial assaults ending in deaths and serious injuries.

All the while this was happening in various areas of the country Such as the murder of an Australian visitor from Melbourne Christopher Lane killed while exercising on a Duncan Oklahoma street by members of the black gang known as the Crypts.
Such assaults were described by the press as “black youths with nothing better to do” Although there were some gang members who admitted their assaults were “for Trayvon” but met by stony silence from the democrats or denial from MSM because initially it was dismissed as a Obama miss-speak. As if he didn’t rely on a teleprompter for carefully prepared text checked out by advisers giving him the facts.

Shamefully members of the opposition so called Republicans chose not to condemn this but convenient to ignore. Thus demonstrate they are politically dysfunctional. Unwilling to work with or even recognize legitimate concerns from what they call the tea party who in reality are the Reagan voters of 2016 and unable to congeal into a unified working political unit. They did not learn from 2012,2014 and some continue to blow off 2016. http://www.theusmat.com/index.htm

How is it possible no one in the media chose to do what I did? The answer is simple. The media did not want to know. The truth would not have advanced their fear-fueled racial agenda.

The big media bosses/owners probably knew.
JMO, YMMV

In summation - when the media already has “the story” they want to go with, particularly one involving their pre-selected good and bad persons, facts are so irrelevant they almost hope no investigators will expose any hoax to their story.

“I do think posting this makes us look like it hits. Maybe I’m in the minority.”

I’m not sure I understand your comment. Some folks on this thread are assuming the author is lying, for whatever reason. But I think this needs to be publicized & gotten to the bottom of:

“Instead, the...18-year-old Rachel Jeantel was substituted for Diamond...”

How exactly does that happen? Especially when the media already know about Diamond? It seems to me one of the worst problems we’re facing is the politicization of our courtrooms. How do prosecutors get away with this kind of nonsense?

As another commented, if this isn’t true, the author should be facing defamation suits.

My post made no sense! I looked & was like, what happened. I do question giving credence to people like this, infowars just makes me cringe. What I meant to say is that this director makes us look nutty.

I do agree......it pans out into something in the end of it doesn’t.

Good Sunday Friend.

As I argue in The Trayvon Hoax, if there is a main culprit of my investigation, it is the press. The Zimmerman case was ground zero for the explosion of fake news and the race hoaxes that have followed, one more preposterous than the next. Think “hands up don’t shoot” or the beyond preposterous Jesse Smollett racial “attack” by Trump supporters at 2 AM in subzero Chicago, a hoax so phony only the media could fall for it.

Interesting post... thanks for sharing.

I would say that Alex Jones is suspect, but maybe not everyone who posts under InfoWars. I don’t follow that site at all, & found this article posted by someone I trust on FB.

Good Sunday back at you, FRiend! :-)
