How peculiar - Obama suddenly is almost silent on Chicago Police Murder of Black Man

.


After inflaming racial tensions by condemning police treatment of Blacks in Ferguson and Baltimore on television and in the media, suddenly Obama uses Facebook

Here was the lead news story today, from Chicago, the number one city in America in murders in 2014 and for several years.

Officer Charged With Murder in Teen's Death

A white Chicago police officer who shot a black teenager 16 times last year was charged with first-degree murder Tuesday, hours before the city released a video of the killing that many people fear could spark unrest.

City officials and community leaders have been bracing for the release of the dash-cam video, fearing the kind of turmoil that occurred in cities such as Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after young black men were slain by police or died in police custody.

Obama goes from press conferences and television interviews to condemn police actions to just posting in his new Facebook account saying he is "deeply disturbed" by what happened!  Now wait a minute, this time there is no doubt the event was unjustified, an abuse of power, and an excessive use of a firearm and Obama is only "deeply disturbed."


Perhaps the media is protecting him from the real story.  Chicago, of course, is Obama's home.  The Mayor of Chicago is Obama's former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.  Not only was Rahm his right hand man, he was also the top fund raiser for the Obama campaigns because of his relationship as an executive in Goldman Sachs before he went to work for Obama.

The year-long lack of action by the prosecutor in Chicago and the brutal and senseless killing by firing sixteen shots into the victim, who was high on PCP at the time, were about as conclusive of evidence as possible.

A video from a camera mounted on a Police car was suppressed by the Chicago authorities, and only came to light when a judge order the release, which happened today, a year later.  It showed sixteen shots in fifteen seconds.


The City of Chicago seemed to try to minimize the impact of any evidence and keep the whole case out of the media while Rahm Emanuel ran and got re-elected as Mayor during the past year by paying $5 million in hush money, before any charges were even filed.

Maybe it is about time a federal investigation of the role Emanuel had in withholding the video and paying off the family should be investigate.  You might add to that investigate why Obama nearly ignored commenting on this racial incident after being all over the news on all previous incidents.


It seems awfully like a cover-up in Obama's hometown.  Emanuel won a run off for mayor just last April after none of the five candidates were able to get 50% of the vote.  Strange how the liberal media is selectively silent when it comes to our president.

Here is what he had to say about police actions before the incident happened in his hometown.

Obama says Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson ‘stains the heart of black children’

By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Sunday, September 28, 2014

President Obama said the shooting death of a black teen by a white police officer last month in Ferguson, Missouri, exposed the racial divide in the American justice system that “stains the heart of black children.”

Speaking at the annual Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner in Washington on Saturday night, Mr. Obama said the death of Michael Brown “awakened our nation” to a reality that black citizens already understood.


“In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement,” Mr. Obama said. “Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement — guilty of walking while black or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.”

Obama on Baltimore: ‘No Dispute’ Men of Color Disproportionately Targeted by Police
by Tina Nguyen | 4:08 pm, May 4th, 2015


And that sense of unfairness and of powerlessness, of people not hearing their voices, that’s helped fuel some of the protests we’ve seen in places like Baltimore and Ferguson and right here in New York. The catalyst of those protests were the tragic deaths of young men and a feeling that law is not always applied evenly in this country. In too many places in this country, black boys and black men, Latino boys, Latino men — they experience being treated differently by law enforcement. In stops and in arrests and in charges and in incarcerations. The statistics are clear up and down the criminal justice system. There’s no dispute.

Obama: 'No excuse' for violence in Baltimore

By Eric Bradner, CNN
Updated 5:08 PM ET, Tue April 28, 2015

The growing violence in Baltimore, just 40 miles from the White House, represents another challenge for the Obama administration in addressing racial unrest across the country. Since the police killing of an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, last summer, the administration has worked to acknowledge deep frustrations in minority communities while also supporting law enforcement.

Obama said he spoke with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Monday. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who was sworn in Monday, said the Justice Department is investigating Gray's death.


Just hours after she was sworn in, Lynch was at the White House on Monday evening meeting with Obama to discuss the violent protests unfolding in Baltimore. She said she will send Vanita Gupta, the head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, and Ronald Davis, director of Community Oriented Policing Services, to Baltimore "in the coming days" to meet with religious and community leaders.

Federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms arson investigators are aiding local authorities in investigating 60 fires — 10 structure fires like a CVS and a nursing home construction site, the others vehicles — in Baltimore on Monday night.

The White House sent three representatives to Baltimore on Monday for Gray's funeral: Broderick Johnson, a native of the city and the chairman of the My Brother's Keeper Task Force; Heather Foster, an adviser in the White House Office of Public Engagement; and Elias Alcantara, the associate director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.

Black Lives Matter latest social movement hijacked by troublemakers and anarchists?

.

Are we ever going to learn our lesson?  The playbook for socialism, playbook for communism, and playbook for anarchism - all discuss how the establishment of citizen groups in support of popular causes should be encouraged.  Once they are established, committed anarchists will infiltrate them, and efforts will be undertaken to destroy both public institutions and support for the social causes they represent.


Such were the teachings of Karl Marx all the way back in the middle of the 19th century, then Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky in the early 20th century, and finally Hitler and Himmler in the mid-20th century.  Other despots and dictators have advocated the same infiltration methods.



Perhaps that is what happened in the Civil Rights and anti-war riots of the 1960's, the American Indian Movement of the 1970's, and now such efforts as the Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter movement of the 21st century.


In each case people had a right to protest, a right to hold peaceful demonstrations, and a right to point out flaws in our system of society.  Yet each movement saw incendiary efforts evolve that undermined the public support for the causes, divided the nation, and contributed to the cause of spreading hatred throughout the nation.


Police were assaulted, inflammatory language surfaced in crowd chants and music lyrics, and suddenly any hope for peaceful protests went up in flames along with the very neighborhoods where suffering was most obvious.  The pattern repeated itself in Ferguson, Missouri, New York City, and Baltimore, Maryland the past year.


Peaceful marches by Black Lives Matter suddenly broke out in provocative and threatening chants when they marched past police officers sent to protect them and all citizens, chants screaming, "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" in Minneapolis.


In New York City is was, "How do you spell racist? N-Y-P-D."

Black Lives Matter claims to be "a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of black people by police and vigilantes" and that "Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, black undocumented folks, folks with records, women and all black lives along the gender spectrum."


Toward that end protesters and protest organizers have met with President Barack Obama, and other prominent leaders to demand an end to what they view as racial profiling, police brutality, mass incarceration of African-Americans, and the militarization of many police departments in the USA.


As noted earlier, it is unfortunate that what began as peaceful protects was hijacked by radicals and militants.

In New York City protests turned into anti-police chants like - "NYPD - KKK" and "Murdering Pigs."

   
Protesters marching in Cleveland shouted anti-police slogans they march behind a large banner that said, "Stop murder by police."

In Houston Texas protests began chants including, "The revolution is on… Off the pigs," and "Oink Oink… Bang Bang."


Demonstrators chanting "killer cops" carry a mirrored coffin through the streets of Ferguson as 100 police in riot gear form a line to face them down.

At the same protest were heard shouts, "Killer cops, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?"


People stood in the middle of the street screaming out: "My hands on my head. Please don't shoot me dead" and "Who shuts it down? We shut it down!"

Whether it is a matter of cause and effect or something much more sinister, the result is the following:

This is according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, generally considered the most reliable database on police in the nation.  The NLEOMF also has determined there are over 900,000 state and local law enforcement officers in America.


As you can see, since the 2015 data is only through September 2, 2015, nearly four more months of data is yet to come.  Already the number of deaths is increasing from year to year.  With the murders of police in New York, Texas, Mississippi, Illinois, Nebraska, and throughout the nation, the anarchists seem to have the upper hand.


Those few high profile murders of citizens, which must be prosecuted to the fullest extent, have resulted in a higher level of risk to all 900,000 police who go about their jobs with dignity, respect for all citizens, and compassion.

Spirits in the Sky - Marilyn Monroe - June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962 - Murdered at age 36 - Why?



Who Done It?  The Murder of Marilyn Monroe!

It was 53 years ago last week that Marilyn Monroe died, at age 36, one of the brightest stars of post-World War II America.  Ever since her shocking death, with the death certificate listing suicide as the probable cause of death, controversy has swirled over what really happened.





Marilyn Monroe born Norma Jeane Mortenson

June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962



Candle in the Wind







Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

chorus:

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude


(repeat chorus)

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

(repeat chorus)

Music: Elton John
Lyrics: Bernie Taupin
Piano & Vocals: Elton John


Who done it?  You Solve the Mysterious murder of Marilyn Monroe


You help solve the mystery of who killed the most famous Hollywood icon of the 20th Century.  When the world awakened on August 5, 1962, the most celebrated actress in Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe, was found dead in her home in California at the young age of 36.


It was the end of a tumultuous and meteoric rise from rags to riches for America's sweetheart and Hollywood icon whose name crossed paths with the rich, the powerful, the revered and the most sinister characters in the world.


The medical examiner quickly concluded she died of an overdose of prescription medicine but forensic evidence was insufficient to declare it a suicide so her death was labeled as "probable suicide".


The mishandling of the crime scene, the manipulation of evidence, the inconsistency or her actions prior to the death and the onslaught of media hype pushing the suicide theory by powerful forces triggered a firestorm of suspicion and doubt.


But a series of national and international events the next 15 months would bury her story in the avalanche of media coverage of the Cold War with the Soviets, the Kennedy administration war with the La Casa Nostra, the evolving Vietnam war and the Kennedy assassination.

  
For the past 52 years the American public has been brainwashed with stories of the addictions and depression of film legend Marilyn Monroe that led to her death by suicide.  She has been pictured as an insecure and fragile girl whose mother was sent to an insane asylum as Marilyn was bounced from foster home to foster home to orphanage.


In fact according to Marilyn she was sent to ten total places, foster homes and the orphanage, before she married a merchant marine when she turned 16 to avoid being sent back to the orphanage.  Because of her shuffling between homes she attended 6 different elementary schools in seven years.


But the vast majority of her experiences were good, she got along well with other children and often created games for her friends to play.  It was during this period she developed her desire to be a star and began to create the persona she believed she needed to be successful.


Her first marriage lasted about 4 years, 1942-1946, although her husband was  away during most of World War II.  She was working in an armament factory toward the end of the war when she was discovered at an assembly line by a photographer searching for the next pin up queen for the soldiers.


By 1946 Norma Jean first began using the name Marilyn Monroe when her popularity as a pin up queen got the notice of movie studios.  Marilyn had already begun singing and dancing lessons and had developed exceptional fitness and diet routines on her own, routines that would result in her being known as the most beautiful woman in the world.


At first it was her voice that got recognized although she did not get along with the movie tyrant Darryl Zanuck, head of 20th Century Fox, her studio most of her short career.  Many of her early film roles were uncredited, even when performing songs, a way the studio could avoid paying performance fees to actors.




Marilyn seemed to know what was expected of Hollywood stars in the golden age of film and she gave the studio what it wanted.  She quickly grew from a $125.00 a week extra to singing and then acting roles as she became more popular but as did most studios at the time, she was treated as a commodity.


In 1952 and 1953 her film roles pushed her to the top of the list in popularity but her studio handlers still insisted she play the dumb blond in comedies and though her films made more money than those of Elizabeth Taylor, Monroe was paid $100,000 per film compared to Taylor at $1 million per film.


Our next installment will review the actions the supposedly dumb blond pulled that turned the movie industry upside down and eventually would force the studios to give her challenging dramatic roles like she wanted along with a salary equal to Elizabeth Taylor.


While she would be known as Marilyn Monroe from the late 1940's on she did not have her name legally changed from Norma Jean Mortensen to Marilyn Monroe until 1956.


As for the mystery of her death, by 1953 she was already acquainted with several people on the list of suspects or collaborators whose connections to others on the list in the immediate future would result in her becoming a serious threat to their careers and would endanger her life.
