When TV host Megyn Kelly spoke with Pastor Robert White of Peace of Mind Church in St. Louis, Missouri, last night, she expected him to be heavily critical of [Race Bating FBI Snitch] ‘civil rights leader’ Al Sharpton, but the response she received was entirely different.
After airing comments Sharpton recently uttered about the situation in Ferguson, Kelly introduced White, asking, “You don’t think Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson is helping. Why?”
But rather than criticize Sharpton as he has reportedly done in the past, White said that he appreciates the “invaluable support” that the controversial civil rights leader has provided as he and others attempt to keep the peace on the streets of Ferguson in the wake of Michael Brown’s death.
While Kelly commended the pastor’s efforts to keep the peace, she voiced her confusion over his purported change in tone.
“I just want to make sure I understand what you’re saying about Rev. Al Sharpton, because you spoke with our producers earlier and said that you believe that Rev. Jackson and Rev. Sharpton were only here for a photo op and you were critical of them,” she said.
But White noted that he sat down with Sharpton and that the two have found areas of agreement on “strategy” moving forward.
“And let me guess, those strategies include you not criticizing him anymore,” Kelly said through a grin.
White said that he’s intent on keeping outside agitators contained and seemed to indicate that he and Sharpton are on the same page on that front. But Kelly wasn’t willing to let the issue die so easily.
“One of the problems is, [Sharpton's] been accused of being an outside agitator because he has come in and said things like … Michael Brown was posing no deadly threat,” she responded. “He doesn’t know whether Michael Brown was posing a deadly threat or not.”
White, though, said that he believes Officer Darren Wilson “is guilty.”
“He’s guilty of the unrest that has been caused by his actions,” he said, with Kelly pressing him to explain how he can be so sure. White continued, “Well, I know that because six shots, two to the head over an unarmed suspect who put his hands up.”
Kelly, though, vehemently disagreed.
“You cannot stand up and assert as fact as [Sharpton] did that Michael Brown posed no deadly threat,” she said. “If you had the answers, if Al Sharpton did, if the governor did, we wouldn’t need these 12 people to convene tomorrow and tell us whether this case should proceed.”

Spike Lee Hopes ‘Things Will Really Blow Up’ if Ferguson Officer Is Acquitted
20 Aug 2014 by Tony Lee
After a week of rioting and confrontations in Ferguson, Missouri, filmmaker Spike Lee said he hoped that “things will really blow up” if Officer Darren Wilson is tried and the people of Ferguson are unhappy with the verdict.
Lee made his incendiary remarks on Tuesday’s Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN, saying that, even though he does not have the facts, “something smells bad in Ferguson, and it’s not just tear gas.”
“And I’m not saying that people should burn down stuff and riot and loot,” Lee told host Anderson Cooper. “But this is not the first time we’ve seen this. And I just hope that things will really blow up if the people aren’t happy with the verdict of this upcoming trial.”
Cooper let Lee’s inflammatory comments slide without even asking a follow-up question or calling him out.
Lee also pushed conspiracy theories, saying he could not believe that “when the police finally say who this officer is, the same day they release this video tape [of Michael Brown engaging in a strong-arm robbery of a convenience store].” He then alleged that “Josie” called into a radio station on Monday just when the autopsy results showing that Michael Brown was shot six times were released.
In fact, “Josie” actually made her remarks last week, before the autopsy results were revealed. “Josie” also claimed that Michael Brown bumrushed officer Wilson multiple times, punched him in the face, discharged his gun, and then taunted him. At least 12 witnesses have reportedly corroborated Wilson’s alleged version of the story. A witness on the scene was captured in a YouTube video saying that Brown “doubled back” before charging Wilson in the moments before Wilson fired at him, corroborating what “Josie” said. The autopsy results showed that all of the bullets entered Brown from the front, which Lee never mentioned. Cooper did not bring up these points, either, and Cooper, whose network first widely played what “Josie” said, also did not jump in to tell Lee that “Josie” did not call into the radio station the previous day. Nevertheless, Lee continued, asking, “Who knows who the hell she is?”
“Is she reading a script?” Lee asked before saying that “all of a sudden, everyone’s taking her words–which is really a third person witness–as Gospel.”
“How can that be? How can you call a radio station and say this is what’s happened?” he asked incredulously. “How do you do that?”
When Cooper asked Lee if he thought all of this was orchestrated, Lee replied, “Oh, yes.”
“It’s orchestrated, Anderson,” he said. “There’s a playbook. They are doing what they want to do. They’re there to protect their own.” Lee said he “will not believe that it’s a coincidence that the day the autopsy comes out … all of a sudden this lady calls into a radio station … and that’s what the officer says. Of course, she’s reading from the same script, I think.”
Lee said President Barack Obama did not usher in a “post-racial era” and equated the riots and unrest in Ferguson to what happened in Los Angeles after Rodney King, the Liberty City riots, Detroit in the 1960s, Harlem, and cities that saw rioting after Martin Luther King’s assassination.
Lee said that people “get to a tipping point” where “they can’t take it anymore.”
Though all of the facts are not yet out, and a grand jury has not even heard the evidence in the case, Lee implied that Brown was killed because he allegedly stole cigars or was high on marijuana.
“I don’t think you should be killed in this country because allegedly you steal some cigarillos,” Lee said. “I don’t think you should be killed in this country if there’s marijuana in your system.”

See Who’s Been Spotted in Ferguson Trying to ‘Incite’ Riots and Mingling Among Group Armed With Molotov Cocktails
Aug. 19, 2014 by Jason Howerton
As the outraged community in Ferguson, Missouri, continues to protest the officer-involved shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, radical communist revolutionaries from places like Chicago and New York City are seemingly infiltrating the local demonstrations and allegedly attempting to “incite” riots.
A video uploaded on YouTube Tuesday shows Gregory Lee Johnson, a veteran member of the Revolutionary Community Party, riling up a crowd and seemingly discouraging them from listening to police’s advice to calm things down. Watch that video here (Strong language warning):
St. Louis Alderman Antonio French also took notice of Johnson’s presence at demonstrations in Ferguson on Tuesday. He included a photo of Johnson among a group of men apparently trying to light Molotov cocktails:

Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source
August 20, 2014 By Hollie McKay
Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department’s top brass told FoxNews.com.
“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”
According to the well-placed source, Wilson was coming off another case in the neighborhood on Aug. 9 when he ordered Michael Brown and his friend Dorain Johnson to stop walking in the middle of the road because they were obstructing traffic. However, the confrontation quickly escalated into physical violence, the source said..
“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move,” the source said. “They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face.
The source claims that there is “solid proof” that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, “What, you’re going to shoot me?”
At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6 foot, 4 inch, 292-pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown’s skull, according to an independent autopsy conducted at the request of Brown’s family.
Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket in the fracas, and was left dazed by the initial confrontation, the source said. He is now “traumatized, scared for his life and his family, injured and terrified” that a grand jury, which began hearing evidence on Wednesday, will “make some kind of example out of him,” the source said.
The source also said the dashboard and body cameras, which might have recorded crucial evidence, had been ordered by Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, but had only recently arrived and had not yet been deployed.
St. Louis County police, who have taken over the investigation, did not return requests for comment about possible injuries suffered by Wilson.
Edward Magee, spokesman for St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCullough, said the office will not disclose the nature of the evidence it will reveal to a grand jury.
“We’ll present every piece of evidence we have, witness statements, et cetera, to the grand jury, and we do not release any evidence or talk about evidence on the case.”
Nabil Khattar, CEO of 7Star Industries – which specializes in firearms training for law enforcement and special operations personnel – confirmed that police are typically instructed to use deadly force if in imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily injury.
“You may engage a threat with enough force that is reasonably necessary to defend against that danger,” he said.
Wilson is a six-year veteran of the Ferguson police force department, and has no prior disciplinary infringements.
Massive protests have since taken over the St. Louis community, prompting Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon last Thursday to place Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson at the helm of security operations in an effort to calm ongoing tensions. The federal government is also investigating the death, and Attorney General Eric Holder has taken the lead – calling “the selective release of sensitive information” in the case “troubling.”
On Friday, Ferguson police released surveillance video showing Brown stealing cigars from a convenience store just before his death. Jackson came under intense criticism for disclosing the tape and a related police report as he also insisted that the alleged robbery and the encounter with Wilson were unrelated matters. Brown’s family, through their attorney, suggested the tape’s release was a strategic form of “character assassination.”
However, FoxNews.com’s source insisted that there was absolutely no spin agenda behind the tape’s release and that there were a number of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) media requests filed by media outlets seeking it. Tom Jackson is said to have waited on publicly releasing it, and did not want it shown until Brown’s grieving mother first had the chance to see it.
“He defied the FOIAs as long as he could,” noted the insider. “A powerful, ugly spin has completely ruined public discourse on this whole situation.”

Police Captain Unleashes Ferguson Riot Cops Against Journalists Reporters assaulted, arrested, threatened with death
August 20, 2014 by Mikael Thalen
Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson used riot police to intimidate, assault and arrest journalists early Wednesday morning after several thrown bottles ignited unrest in the streets of Ferguson, Mo.
Despite pandering to the public about his handling of reporters during a press conference early Tuesday morning, Johnson’s true intentions emerged yet again as journalists were specifically targeted.
Only moments before the situation deteriorated, Infowars reporter Joe Biggs attempted to alert an officer to a stash of bottles hidden under a metal bin, seemingly in vane.
After bottles on scene were thrown at police, officers began singling out journalists for arrest while one cop with an M4 rifle threatened to “f***ing kill” others.
“I witnessed three journalists get thrown to the ground by police officers and were punched, grabbed, rangled, hogtied up and carried out of there…” Infowars reporter Joe Biggs explained. “The police are against the media because they know the truth will get out and they do not want that to happen.”
Infowars cameraman Marcos Morales spotted Captain Johnson surveying the scene and immediately began demanding to know why journalists were being targeted.
“What do you think about this captain? They’re arresting journalists,” Morales said as Johnson began scurrying from the camera. “Now you’re arresting journalists!”
Johnson responded to being exposed by attempting to sick several officers on Morales, repeatedly saying, “You’re next.”
At the same moment, Infowars journalist Kit Daniels was only feet away confronting a unknown provocateur caught throwing bricks at police. Peaceful protesters surrounded the man, who promised he hadn’t been “hired by police,” and forced him out of the area as law enforcement ignored the incident.
Riot police on scene have only continued to escalate the situation by arresting journalists and peaceful protesters while a small group of provocateurs are ignored.
In just the last week, more than a dozen journalists have been arrested while attempting to capture police abuses on the ground.

Ouch: This Foreign Nation Just Mocked Obama For His Hypocrisy On Ferguson Situation
August 20, 2014 by Norvell Rose —
How’s this for an interesting turn of events regarding the town that’s become “ground zero” for racial agitation and unrest?
Another country — one that we support with millions in foreign aid — is now advising U.S. authorities on how to deal with the ongoing protests, rioting, and looting in Ferguson, Missouri. And the poke-in-the-eye language this country uses is clearly reminiscent of what President Obama once said to them about the treatment of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Via BusinessInsider.com:
Egypt on Tuesday urged U.S. authorities to exercise restraint in dealing with racially charged demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri – echoing language Washington used to caution Egypt as it cracked down on Islamist protesters last year.
It is unusual for Egypt to criticize such a major donor, and it was not immediately clear why the government would have taken such a step.
Ties between Washington and Cairo were strained after Egyptian security forces killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters following the army’s ousting of freely elected President Mohamed Mursi in July 2013.
Eqypt adds that it will closely follow the way authorities handle the Ferguson race riots, illustrating how the events surrounding the shooting death of Michael Brown are resonating worldwide.
Could it be that the Obama administration doesn’t really mind this kind of “foreign intervention”, as the regime once again sees political opportunism in the racially charged crisis in the nation’s heartland…an opportunity to portray America as a country still torn and tormented by racism and social injustice? After all, Team Obama thrives on strife, discontent, and discord that it can cynically exploit.
