Roanoke Times, 11-30-2014,
Pg 1: Officer Darren Wilson resigns
Pg 10 Half-pg: Ferguson’s
grand jury put in unusual position
Pg 11 Half-pg: Was Michael Brown surrendering or advancing
Pg 13 Third-pg: DOJ
conducting two investigations
-
-
Multiple pages of regurgitation
of stuff off the wire-services that has been published over the past
months.
Purpose appears to be to
discredit Grand Jury process because they were exposed to “way too much testimony
from too many conflicting sources” and DA didn’t “direct” them to an indictment.
Brown shot in back
Brown shot while lying on
ground
Brown shot with hands-up
Brown just walking down
street when shot
Autopsy didn’t answer ALL questions
(reminiscent of the JFK assassination!)
-
-
This was an already Court-seated
multi-racial Grand Jury.
I have served on a Grand
Jury for multiple months. Some cases
were totally one-sided in which only prosecution material was presented.
In some cases the defense requested to
participate and input data and witnesses and did so.
There are few limits on what
data can be presented to the Grand Jury.
In some cases the DA pushed
for an indictment; sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
In some cases the DA did not
push for an indictment.
In some cases "we" requested and got data and witnesses the DA did not offer.
The Grand Jury is appointed by and is responsible
only to The Court.
The Grand Jury does NOT report to the DA.
The DA is never in the room when the Grand Jury
deliberates and votes!
-
The bottom line is that the
Ferguson Grand Jury did not differ from those I have served on.
It is unusual for the Court to
release Grand Jury records to the public; the Judge in this case apparently
felt the public interest outweighed protecting witnesses who though their testimony
would be kept sealed as it normally would be.
Some of those witnesses are now at risk; particularly the seven Black witnesses who corroborated Wilson’s account of the
shooting.

Who directed that the Browns
run to the most brutal and lawless members of the UN?
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/11/un-panel-criticizes-us-on-human-rights.html
Why is the Pravda Media
keeping this saga alive?
What is their motivation to
continue to beat the drums of rioters and protesters?
How has the Media helped
bring into focus the issues of thousands of young Black males being killed each
year by other young black males?
How has the Media helped all people to behave properly when confronted by police and the adverse consequences and illegality of physical confrontation.
How will causing the police
to avoid and back-away from intercity areas help the Black community?
How will enabling the Gangs
to “police” the inter-cities from dusk to dawn help the Black community?
-
The Pravda Media have been
at the forefront of the malfeasance associated with this very sad situation
from the night of the tragedy and apparently the combination of making money
and race-baiting is impossible for them to suppress.
How sad is that!

Since Obama has declared we are no longer a “world leader”,
it is appropriate that we reduce our dues to $1 and demand rent on the UN

Fuel Prices Dropping - Our Amazing Fracking Success
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/11/fuel-prices-dropping-our-amazing.html
-
-
-
What an amazing situation.
Obama in shock that gasoline prices are going down. He declared that energy prices would greatly escalate
with passage of his Carbon Tax (that he is implementing with his War on
Coal). When Al Gore ran for president,
his platform included an immediate additional 50-cent tax on gasoline.
-
In addition, OPEC is now supporting lower oil prices to try
to stymie and shutdown US Fracking on private lands. Obama and his minions have tried desperately
to disparage Fracking and banned it from “the peoples land”.
Who could have seen all this coming?
-
And in spite of the data and facts that there hasn’t been
any global warming for the past 17 years, Obama and his AGW Global Warming
Alarmist Minions continue to hawk their snake-oil hysteria that we must
decimate our energy infrastructure and facilities in order to save the World
Order as they dictate it to be.

Schumer Says Democrats Erred
by Passing Health Care in 2010
Democrats made a mistake by
passing President Barack Obama’s
health-care law in 2010 instead of first focusing more directly on helping the
middle class,
third-ranking U.S. Senate
Democrat Charles Schumer
said today.
“Unfortunately, Democrats blew the
opportunity the American people gave them” in electing Obama and a Democratic
Congress in 2008 amid a recession, Schumer of New York said in a speech in Washington. “We took their
mandate and put all our focus on the wrong problem -- health care reform.”
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-25/democrats-erred-by-acting-on-health-care-in-2010-schumer-says.html
-
But that’s not the ugly part; the ugly part is that
Schumer went on to say that 85% of American’s had health insurance and most of
the 15% that didn’t have health care insurance don’t vote!
http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2014/11/26/sen-chuck-schumer-obamacare-focused-on-the-wrong-problem-ignores-the-middle-class/
-
The “behind the scenes” blatant
scorn and disdain the Democrats have for the very people they pretend to be
helping is beyond the pale! How can the
Black Leadership continue to hitch their wagons to Arrogant Donkey’s like this?
-
It’s also of interest that
the Liberal Jewish Community continue to support Schumer and Obama. Obama has thrown Israel under the Terrorist bus and
Schumer has supported him all the way.

An insight into NY Democrats
and Schumer’s friends in high places is of interest.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2011/01/only-conservatives-use-dangerous.html
"NY Dem. Sen. Schumer is the man who would put a
bullet between the president’s (Bush's) eyes if he could get away with it."
The nasty, vicious, vile Democrat
who said this is not a half-drunk, low-life talking through his beer at a local
gin-mill.
No, this is NY State Comptroller Democrat Alan Hevesi, long term prior
professor of government and politics at Queens
College, who made this statement while
participating in the commencement address at Queens College!

post-election rejection of ObamaCare there’s the:

-
If you only read the RT,
Post, NYT and only watch MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC you have no idea what GruberGate is
because the Pravda Media have thrown a blanket of ignorance over this massive
government malfeasance.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/11/massive-gruber-trees-falling-pravda.html

We need another BTW to raise the "blanket of ignorance" that this adminsitration and their Pravda Media have thrown over the American People!

Roanoke Times, 11-27-2014 Pg
1, 6: Thanksgiving Focus at Gereau Center in Rocky
Mount by Dan Casey
-
What a pleasant experience to see most of the front page of
the RT devoted to young students expressing their appreciation for their
Thanksgiving blessings at the Gereau-CATCE
Center in Rocky Mount.
-
I have a very strong personal attachment to the Gereau-CATCE Center.
Len Gereau included me in the planning teams that defined
the module content and physical attributes of the school.
Len then included me as a full time teacher of math and
science for the first five years after which I was an active substitute for
another five years.
-
Each of the eight modules was staffed with an experienced
teacher and a person having experience in the modules focus and content.
The Center is now also the focal point for STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
-
Virginia
has a program to help encourage veterans and experienced industry persons and
those with advanced degrees to be teachers.
Based on rigorous background checks and validation of experience and
degrees, the Virginia Dept of Education will issue five-year provisional
licenses to teach. During that time, the
candidate is expected to develop classroom-teaching skills and take the
required college courses for certification.
This has enabled many highly qualified persons to join the
educational community.
Clearly, this could not be done in NY, NJ or other Teacher Union States.

Obama ”cans” Sec. of
Defenses Hagel
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/24/defense-secretary-chuck-hagel-stepping-down-fox-news-confirms/
-
This is amazing! How could Hagel have possibly failed in
carrying out Obama’s Defense Strategy?
-
Obama “Then”
I killed Bin Laden
I ended the war against
terror
I ended the war in Afghanistan
I ended the war in Iraq
I decreed that Assad should
leave Syria
I refused to give Ukraine weapons
to defend themselves
I championed “Sequestration”
that is decimating the Defense Budgets
I made friends with the
world’s Muslims
I’m releasing the GITMO boys
– they’re really not so bad
I decreed that America should
not be a World Leader
-
So, I chose as Secretary of
Defense, Hagel, whose job it is to dismantle our Military assets and systems so
that we will be unable to be a Nasty World Leader!
That’s my Plan! The Norwegians must be dancing in the
streets!
Talk about the basis for
another Nobel Peace Prize!
-
Obama “Now”
Current Events have shown
that Hagel just couldn’t do the job!
Afghanistan is not war free
Iraq is not war free
ISIS came out of nowhere to form an army and raise Mohamed
Boko-somebody is raising
Mohamed in Africa
Assad is ruthlessly ruling Syria with
impunity
Global attacks rose in 2013
-- 10,000 terrorist attacks in 2013, 44% increase – 18,000 deaths
-
Obama “Today”: Hagel You’re Fired!
In spite of my great Strategy and Plans
YOU didn’t make anything happen to make me Look Good!

If you have worked for a

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/26/top-picks-to-defense-department-jobs-dropping-out/
Within minutes of reports Monday that Secretary Chuck Hagel would resign, the names of Michele Flournoy and Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed emerged as top prospects.
But each made clear by the end of the day that they didn’t want the coveted but high-wire Cabinet-level post.
-
Editorial observation: Apparently, they don't want to work for a JERK!

Roanoke Times, 11-25-2014, Pg 1, 4: Grand jury decides not to indict officer
-
Thank You RT for your choice of words (decides) in this major headline!
-
-
FoxNews proclaimed Grand
jury in Ferguson
case DOES NOT indict officer
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/11/25/ferguson-grand-jury-decision/
-
NBCs Brian Williams on
live-TV said 3 times that the Grand Jury FAILED
to indict the officer
-
Clearly, NBC (and most of
the Pravda Press) is aiding and abetting the “justification” of the rioters and
activists-radical-racists. Some of their so called "questions" at the announcement were blatenly inciteful!
-
Obama and Holder have fanned
the flames of racism since they took office and now they’re calling for calm –
like a pyromaniac-fireman who sets fires then looks for public adulation for
fighting the fires he set.
-
Obama and Holder, in order
to appease their followers, will now likely Federally Indict the officer for a “show
trial”. Let’s keep this pot boiling; the
2016 elections are coming.

“We’re All Mike Brown”!
NO We’re NOT all Mike Brown
We do not invade stores
We do not steal from stores
We do not intimidate store

We do not mouth-off to
police officers who give us direct lawful directions
We do not attack police
officers inflicting massive injuries to them
We do not attack police
officers who issue lawful life-or-death ultimatum commands
When we do these things:
Then we’re Mike Brown!

Pg 1, 6: Puckett’s Senate exit derailed
governor’s Medicaid hopes.
McAuliffe’s parting words to
Puckett: Hope you rot in hell.
-
-
Now there’s an insight into
our new Democrat Governor’s psyche!
-
The hostility was greatly exacerbated
by McAuliffe’s inability to influence Puckett with promises of jobs for him and
his daughter.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/10/gov-mcauliffe-caught-up-in-malfeasance.html
-
Which brings up the major
issue of where are the Federal Indictments for McAuliffe’s Chief-of-Staff and
Senator Mark Warner?
-
Both intervened on McAuliffe’s
behalf with job offers that clearly were grossly inappropriate and by the
standards used to persecute Bob McDonnell – were criminal; i.e.;
using one’s political position and
power to further someone else’s interests!
-
Where’s Obama’s AG Eric Holder
and his FBI investigators?
Where’s the Grand Jury?
Where’s the Indictments?
-
Oh! Right!
Not going to happen! These guys
are all Obama’s buds!

Gorbachev warns of 'new Cold
War' at event marking Berlin Wall's fall
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/11/09/gorbachev-warns-new-cold-war-at-ceremony-marking-berlin-wall-fall/
-
-
The Russian invasion and annexation
of parts of Georgia and Ukraine are harbingers of the major invasion and
annexation of most of the Arctic yet to come.
Russia has proclaimed that she “owns” most of the Arctic because there is an underwater ridge that runs to
Mother Russia lands. Her prior ownership
of Alaska,
through 1867, adds some creditability to her claims.
What a great pretext to grab
one of the world’s most mineral rich areas yet untapped.
-
Norway, Sweden,
Canada and the US all have some historical basis to make claims
upon parts of the Arctic. Norway
and Sweden have started
minor military moves to make their claims visible; however, Russia can run
over them with minor effort when the time is right.
Norway will fold quickly under threat of loosing all their
North Sea Oil Rigs.
-
Based on the US policy that “we” don’t want to do anything
significant in the Arctic, it would appear that we would not go to war with Russia for
territory for which we have no use.
We’re going to be a Solar and Wind Country with little use for future oil
and gas resources.
An Alaskan’s view of that
might be:
