BREAKING NEWS: Dorian Johnson recants - Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson will be cleared in the shooting of Michael Brown

Bookmark and Share

On my side of town, When the sun go down, You in trouble now.” -Big Mike Brown


Tonight, on the Facebook page for the radio station "The Viper" 100.7 FM in St. Louis, the above image was posted along with the following text:
***BREAKING NEWS***Remember, you saw it and heard it here first. We have heard (from a VERY connected national media source) that Ferguson officer Darren Wilson will be cleared in the shooting of Michael Brown. The key: Dorian Johnson has now admitted that Michael Brown attacked Officer Wilson and attempted to take his gun. OFFICER WILSON WILL NOT BE CHARGED! This is scary. When this news is made official, we all have reason to be concerned about the reaction.
To substantiate the claim, the poster notes:
For the record....WE broke the autopsy results ON SATURDAY NIGHT, RIGHT HERE. Every detail that WE reported, (6 shots, none in the back, marijuana etc) were all confirmed on Monday.Our info has been right on, and I have no reason to doubt this. Is it a guarantee? No. That would be silly.
Is this true?

If not yet, it likely soon will be.

Here is the eyewitness testimony of Dorian Johnson from the day of Michael Brown's shooting:

Did Darian tell the truth?  Unfortunately, the emerging evidence suggests otherwise.

First off, given the release of autopsy results, it's clear that Michael Brown was never shot in the back as the gunshot wounds are in the front of his body.

Furthermore, Officer Wilson reportedly suffered an “orbital blowout fracture to his eye socket” during his scuffle with Mike Brown in his police vehicle.  That requires the the shooting victim must have punched Officer Wilson when he was in the police vehicle.

Finally, other witnesses saw Michael Brown charge Officer Wilson as he discharged his weapon:


So how did Mike Brown's shooting really unfold?  The following explanation by a friend of Officer Wilson's wife is most likely the truth about what happened:


On Sunday, St. Louis Post-Dispatch crime reporter Christine Byers tweeted:  “Police sources tell me more than a dozen witnesses have corroborated cop’s version of events in shooting Ferguson.”
Given what most likely really happened, why did Dorian Johnson make such an inflammatory false testimony about how his friend was killed?  I think the problem was that he was interviewed in the midst of a very racially charged situation where his peers were looking for him to answer in a way that would paint the police in a negative light.  After all, his dead friend couldn't be the bad guy, especially when everyone around him knows the police are.  Hence, he relented to the peer pressure and said what he thought those around him wanted to hear.

However, now that there's forensic evidence and other eyewitness testimonies going against Dorian's testimony, along with proof of his involvement with a strong-armed robbery just before the shooting, it would come as no surprise if Michael Brown's friend has recanted his earlier testimony to law enforcement authorities.  

The problem is, how can the now widely believed false narrative, embodied in the protesters' slogan,  "Hands up! Don't shoot!", be undone?

What's more, how can Officer Wilson be acquitted for justifiably shooting "Big Mike" after being attacked in his police vehicle and then bum rushed by the 6' 4", 290 pound youth?

The reality is that the "justice" Michael Brown's mother and much of the Ferguson, and even nationwide, black community are seeking, i.e., the arrest of Officer Wilson, would be an injustice.


If justice is to be served in the memory of Michael Brown, then people should consider what truly went wrong for him.

Michael had done right by his family in graduating from high school and getting into college
.

The day he died, he was two days from starting college.  Undoubtedly he was stressing out about the challenges and responsibilities of adulthood approaching him.  I think "Big Mike" was torn between the idea of hanging back with his friends 'in the hood' and making his way as a "real n****r" (from his lyrics) hip hop artist versus going to college and making something of himself as his family was expecting.  ("Proud graduate for Mom and Dad / proved everybody wrong / wishing hoping and praying I can bring my n****s along."

That this tug-of-war was going on in his mind is suggested by how, in the weeks prior to his shooting, Michael posted his rap music on the internet.  One lyric set seems particularly telling, "Til I die / rise and grind / gotta get mine / no nine to five / 'til I die".

With that philosophy in mind, Big Mike - who had pretty much been a good-natured soul up to that point in life - smoked some dope with his buddy Dorian, headed off to the local convenience store and committed a strong-armed robbery of, of all things, a package of cigars to smoke more pot with.  A few minutes later he ran into Officer Wilson and, once word filtered through about the recent local theft, a violent altercation took place where young Mike effectively committed suicide-by-cop in his torn state-of-mind.


So to truly honor the life and loss of Big Mike Brown, I think it's time for America's black community to step up to the plate and denounce the oppressive, thuggish, depraved hip-hop culture that drew this good young man away from making something respectable of himself and into a volley of gun shots fired by a white police officer more upset by what happened than anything these foolish protesters in Ferguson would like to know.

A Song Dedicated To Neda Agha-Soltan (نِدا آقا سُلطان)

Five years ago today, Neda Agha-Soltan (نِدا آقا سُلطان) was shot dead in the streets of Tehran by Basij militia. Hear her calling to free Iran in the song I kompozed dedicated to her martyrdom:



Neda's Song (Iran Be Free!) is a kompozition composed at Kompoz.com by artists around the world. It was inspired by the tragic death of Neda Agha-Soltan (نِدا آقا سُلطان‎) who was murdered by soldiers of the mullah's now in power in Tehran who to this day continue to repress the freedom-loving Iranian people. The martyrdom of Neda, a name that means "calling" in Persian, is a calling on the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow the Islamic extremist tyrants now controlling their nation. Let her memory never die and serve as a battle cry for Iranians struggling to bring liberty to their land.

Neda's Song Lyrics

On the street her body bled
As we watched her soul had fled
On the day that Neda died

At the moment of her passing
You could hear the angels cry
For the life that had gone by

Neda gave her life to bring forth liberty
She dreamed one day to see her nation free
Her call will break her people from
The chains that bound God's love
From the hearts of men
Don't you hear her calling to be free

Without warning one shot came
And struck her heart with perfect aim
To take a life that had no blame

Hear Neda's call for freedom's victory
In a land that couldn't bear
The price for truth her life has paid

Neda's life has not been lost in tragedy
Someday it will set her nation free
Neda gave her life so that
Her people find the strength to no longer fear
Enemies of love that made her dear.

Neda's life was lost for victory
She's the calling to be free
In the streets where Neda's body laid
Were sown the seeds of liberty

Neda's life was lost for victory
She's the calling to be free
In the streets where Neda's body laid
Were sown the seeds of liberty

Iran be free........
Iran be free........
Hear Neda's calling...
Iran be free........
Iran be free........
Iran be free........
Iran be free........

Yanukovych flees Ukraine? - Russian military intervention possible

Bookmark and Share

The official narrative unfolding in the Ukraine is that the nationalist Ukrainian population in the Western part of the country, backed by the US and EU, have erupted in protest, the so-called "EuroMaidan", to overthrow the corrupt government of Viktor Yanukovych who is supported by Russia and the Russian-speaking Ukrainian populations in the East and South of the nation. The apparent trigger for the uprising was a decision by the Yanukovych-led government in late-November 2013 to suspend preparations for signing an Association Agreement and a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, in favor of closer economic relations with Russia. Since that time a large-scale uprising in Kiev and many Western regions of the Ukraine has unfolded that has included protesters forming a large encampment in the capitol city's "Independence Square" defended by long barricades of burning cars, tires, wood, etc.

Now apparently the crisis playing out in the Ukraine is coming to a head.

Earlier today an 'ultimatum' was issued for President Yanukovych to resign or protesters will resort to armed force to unseat him from power tomorrow morning (hit "CC" for English closed captions with the video below):



Recent word is that President Yanukovych flew out of Kiev purportedly for Kharkiv but he reportedly never arrived there. Rumors are circulating that the Ukrainian leader has fled to another country.

Obviously, if Russia's man in the Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, has been forced from power, then the stage is likely set for a major geopolitical crisis between East and West, and this, I believe, is the point.

The story unfolding before the world's eyes in the Ukraine seems to make sense on the surface, but when one takes a close critical look at what's going on, some serious questions emerge.

If, indeed, the government of Viktor Yanukovych had been serious about ending the protests that literally took over the main streets in Kiev, then there's some important questions that need to be answered.



1. Why were protesters never pushed back from main thoroughfares in Kiev like Khreshchatyk Street? Even "Occupy Wall Street" protesters never occupied Wall Street.

2. Why was cell phone service and/or electrical power never cutoff in the areas of Kiev where protesters setup their encampments? The only related article I could find to this question indicates backup electrical generators were made ready by opposition members of parliament for the protesters, but this leaves open the question why central city authorities never forced the use of any generators, which would have limited power and fuel supplies, by simply cutting off electricity to areas of Kiev occupied by protester encampments.

3. One place the amply-supplied electricity has been put to good use by EuroMaidan protesters is in brightly lighting and supplying greatly amplified sound to their huge, professionally setup stage which even includes a large screen display visible from great distances.

Yeah....WTH is that all about?!


4. Why was a rogue protester permitted to take over the stage podium and announce the February 22nd "ultimatum" for President Yanukovych to resign before protesters resort to armed force?

5. Why have protesters had such an easy time occupying city hall and many other highly symbolic public buildings in Kiev (and throughout the Ukraine for that matter)?

UPDATE: Oh my....they got a giant stage up for the protesters in Kharkiv as well....this some 20 miles from the border with Russia!:



Seriously....WTF is really going on in the Ukraine?!

Here's the deal.

I have no doubt that the vast majority of protesters are sincere in their actions and I also have no doubt that Russian/Ukrainian special services injured and murdered a good many of these common folk. The Kremlin knows full well this is how to start a civil war:



Nevertheless, the uprising's original generation and growth was FACILITATED AND FOSTERED more so than countered by Russian and Ukrainian secret services.

Why?

Ukraine is a critical East-versus-West linchpin and this is all about setting the stage for a third world war that will be blamed on Western aggression toward Russia rather than vice versa....after all, Russian astrologers predicted this years ago.

Hey, but don't worry, after the dust settles from the Kremlin's ultimate act of premeditated mass murder, Vladimir Putin's "Orthodox Church" will save whatever is left of the world:



HEY PUTIN!....YOU AND YOUR SATANIC COMRADES CAN GO STRAIGHT BACK TO THE HELL YOU CAME FROM!!!...

The Revolution Will Be Televised

The Occupy Wall Street protest movement has gained some momentum after a week. Unlike past revolutions, modern technologies insure that this one will be televised:

Watch live streaming video from globalrevolution at livestream.com


Here's a YouTube of some of NYC's finest overplaying their "authority":



Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy



I suggest NYPD seriously reconsider being goons toward young women and the like ultimately on behalf of banksters whose shenanigans have cost thousands of police officer jobs across the nation.

In the context of the Elliott Wave Principle and Socionomics, these protests are consistent with a rising tide of mass anger and hatred toward Wall Street and the financial elite. In general, a war of the have-nots against the haves is in the making.

God speed to freedom-loving Iranian people!

At least they recognize the true primary source of tyranny in this world.
