Mass Shooting by Black Gunman in Miami – Obama, Sharpton, Spike Lee & Farrakhan Nowhere to be Found Apr 01, 2012 dividedstates.com Family photo of Mckayla, the 5-year-old girl shot in the leg in the North Miami funeral home shooting. (Source: Someta Etienne) NORTH MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Fourteen blacks have been shot and two are dead in what may be one of the worst mass shootings in South Florida history and no one can seem to find Obama, Sharpton or Spike Lee to organize a rally, march on police stations, place bounties on the heads of the shooters or stage phony press conferences. This time it is fourteen innocent blacks shot, one a 5 year old girl! Two have died. Where’s the outrage? The shooting took place around 9:30 p.m. outside the Funeraria Latina Emanuel funeral home at 14990 W. Dixie Highway Friday night. One of the victims, a 43-year-old black man, died outside the funeral home, authorities said. The other, a 27-year-old black man, died at the hospital. Witnesses at the funeral home had said one of the two people killed was shot in the chest. Their names have not been released. A 5-year-old girl, identified by her family as Mckayla Bazile, was shot in the leg and hospitalized at Jackson Memorial Hospital along with eleven other victims. The shooters were young black males. So, for a moment, let me re-cap: A car full of wicked men shot 14 black people for no reason whatsoever and Obama, Sharpton, Luis Farrakhan, Jessie Jackson, Spike Lee, and the New Black Panther leaders have not said a word! They have not organized rallies nor have they placed $10K or $1 million dollar bounties on the heads of the black cowardly shooters in that car. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? We know where it is. It doesn’t exist! None of these race-baiters give a damn about these 14 blacks that were fired upon for no reason, nor do they give one damn about Trayvon Martin! Instead they are disgracefully using his death to advance their racial narratives. To advance their racist civil liberties issues. To advance their Liberal views on gun control, on Florida’s “Stand your ground” law and to further divide this country down racial lines. They have to CREATE their own racism because without racism, they would have no purpose! Mckayla’s grandmother told CBS4’s Maggie Newland that the girl has a bullet lodged in her leg bone that doctors do not plan on removing, however, she should fully recover. The grandmother said she was on the phone with Mckayla when the barrage of bullets began and the girl said, “Grandma, I’ve been shot.” Morvin Andre Jumped to His Death Fleeing Police in Miami Aventura Police Sgt. Chris Goranitis told CBS4 News the funeral was for 21-year-old Morvin Andre who died on March 16th, one day after he jumped from the 4th to 2nd floor of the Aventura Mall parking garage in an effort to escape pursuit by Bloomingdale’s loss prevention employees. The Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide because he chose to jump rather than be apprehended, according to Goranitis. Meantime, a senior police commander told CBS4 investigative reporter Jim DeFede that Andre had some connection to several South Florida gangs and some of those gang members were in attendance at his wake to pay their respects. The commander said someone at the wake touched Andre’s body in the casket in a way that other gangs took as disrespectful. This led to an argument inside the funeral home which spilled out to the street. Members of one gang retrieved an assault rifle and a handgun from a car and opened fire at other gang members in front of the funeral home, according to the CBS4 source. Investigators believe that a white vehicle may be involved, according to Miami-Dade Police. Pastor A.D. Lenoir Sr., who presided over the funeral service for Morvin Andre, said it was a chaotic scene after the shooting and he tried to calm everyone down. “It was horrific, people were going crazy, screaming, running, just chaos.” The covered body of a victim killed in a mass shooting outside a North Miami funeral home on Friday, March 30, 2012. (Source: CBS4) Pastor Lenoir was with the victim who died on the scene. “It’s horrible seeing someone pass on like that.” Lenoir had a message to community following the shooting. “It’s horrible the way our young people are responding to anger, to frustration, to their fears, to whatever issues they’re experiencing, it’s a low-down shame and I think it should quit. If you have problems, I think you should talk to your pastor, talk to someone that can help you, not to respond violently.” Witness Jacques Leonet agreed. “It’s more than crazy. They are destroying the community.” No arrests have been made. A total of 14 people were shot which makes it one of the worst mass shootings in the history of South Florida.

Women Give Obama Big Swing-State Lead PRESIDENT BEATING MITT ROMNEY 51% TO 42% IN 12 BATTLEGROUND STATES By Matt Cantor, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Apr 2, 2012 7:48 AM CDT (NEWSER) – There's finally a clear leader in the 2012 race for the swing states: President Obama has a 51% to 42% advantage over Mitt Romney, according to the fifth USA Today/Gallup poll of the top 12 battleground states. The change from a month ago, when Romney was ahead by two points, comes thanks to Obama's big gain among women under 50. Less than half of that group preferred Obama in the last survey; now it's 60%; Romney has seen a 14-point plunge to 30% with that demographic. Romney leads the president among men 50 and older, 56% to 38%, but that "won't be good enough if we're losing women by nine points or 10 points," says a GOP strategist. "The focus on contraception has not been a good one for us ... Republicans have unfairly taken on water on this issue." Among women of all ages in these states, Obama leads by 18 points; Romney leads among men by one point.

Man whose WMD lies led to 100,000 deaths confesses all Defector tells how US officials 'sexed up' his fictions to make the case for 2003 invasion Jonathan Owen Sunday, 1 April 2012 A man whose lies helped to make the case for invading Iraq – starting a nine-year war costing more than 100,000 lives and hundreds of billions of pounds – will come clean in his first British television interview tomorrow. "Curveball", the Iraqi defector who fabricated claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, smiles as he confirms how he made the whole thing up. It was a confidence trick that changed the course of history, with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi's lies used to justify the Iraq war. He tries to defend his actions: "My main purpose was to topple the tyrant in Iraq because the longer this dictator remains in power, the more the Iraqi people will suffer from this regime's oppression." The chemical engineer claimed to have overseen the building of a mobile biological laboratory when he sought political asylum in Germany in 1999. His lies were presented as "facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence" by Colin Powell, US Secretary of State, when making the case for war at the UN Security Council in February 2003. But Mr Janabi, speaking in a two-part series, Modern Spies, starting tomorrow on BBC2, says none of it was true. When it is put to him "we went to war in Iraq on a lie. And that lie was your lie", he simply replies: "Yes." US officials "sexed up" Mr Janabi's drawings of mobile biological weapons labs to make them more presentable, admits Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, General Powell's former chief of staff. "I brought the White House team in to do the graphics," he says, adding how "intelligence was being worked to fit around the policy". As for his former boss: "I don't see any way on this earth that Secretary Powell doesn't feel almost a rage about Curveball and the way he was used in regards to that intelligence." Another revelation in the series is the real reason why the FBI swooped on Russian spy Anna Chapman in 2010. Top officials feared the glamorous Russian agent wanted to seduce one of US President Barack Obama's inner circle. Frank Figliuzzi, the FBI's head of counterintelligence, reveals how she got "closer and closer to higher and higher ranking leadership... she got close enough to disturb us". The fear that Chapman would compromise a senior US official in a "honey trap" was a key reason for the arrest and deportation of the Russian spy ring of 10 people, of which she was a part, in 2010. "We were becoming very concerned," he says. "They were getting close enough to a sitting US cabinet member that we thought we could no longer allow this to continue." Mr Figliuzzi refuses to name the individual who was being targeted. Several British spies also feature in the programme, in the first time that serving intelligence officers have been interviewed on television. In contrast to the US intelligence figures, the British spies are cloaked in darkness, their voices dubbed by actors. BBC veteran reporter Peter Taylor, who worked for a year putting the documentary together, describes them as "ordinary people who are committed to what they do" and "a million miles" from the spies depicted in film. He adds: "What surprised me was the extent to which they work within a civil service bureaucracy. Everything has to be signed off... you've got to have authorisation signed in triplicate." Would-be agents should abandon any Hollywood fantasies they may have, says Sonya Holt at the CIA recruitment centre. "They think it's more like the movies, that they are going to be jumping out of cars and that everyone carries a weapon... Yes we're collecting intelligence but we don't all drive fast cars. You're going to be writing reports; you're in meetings so it's not always that glamorous image of what you see in the movies."
