Facebook Refuses To Remove “Kill The Police” Page Days After NYPD Officers Were Assassinated Posted by Bob Owens on December 22, 2014 at 4:23 pm Social media giant Facebook has refused to pull a vile page on their network entitled “ Kill The Police.” The page was created after a Baltimore gang-banger assassinated New York City Police Department Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos as they say in a marked police vehicle on a Brooklyn street corner. The murderer posted comments to his Instragram account before and after the killings that they were in “revenge” for the self-defense shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the accidental death of Eric Garner after he resisted arrest in Staten Island. Numerous people have reported the page to Facebook for violating the site’s terms of service, but Facebook has so far responded by refusing to pull the page. The decision by Facebook is questionable, considering the social network routinely removes pages threatening to kill individuals, such as big game hunter and college cheerleader Kendall Jones. Facebook also has a history of removing sites related to firearms and greatly restricts advertising, stating that “ads may not promote firearms, ammunition, paintball guns, bb guns, fireworks, explosives, pepper spray, knives, tasers, or weapons of any kind, including those used for self-defense. Ads may not directly or indirectly link to landing pages where people can purchase any of these products.” ............ http://bearingarms.com/facebook-refuses-remove-kill-police-page-days-nypd-officers-assassinated/

Berkeley Man Dies After Pro-Michael Brown Protesters Delay Paramedics ................................................................................................................................ • December 23, 2014 A Berkeley man has died thanks to protesters who claim they are protesting against unnecessary deaths. The man, who lived in a Kittredge Street apartment complex, collapsed several days ago while protests were going on in the streets around his home. Paramedics attempted to rush to his aid, but were slowed and sometimes stopped by protesters. The protesters were demonstrating in favor of Michael Brown, an African American teen who was shot and killed after he assaulted and charged at a white police officer. The protesters claimed they were in the streets to bring attention to unnecessary deaths caused by rash behavior. The Berkeley man was eventually reached by paramedics and rushed to the hospital, but he passed away there. His death was likely preventable, but help arrived too late because of protesters. “Anytime there is a delay it causes us concern,” said Berkeley Fire Chief Gil Dong. “Our objective is to get there rapidly so we can start treating the patient.” He was not able to comment further because of privacy laws. Separately, a staffer stated that “no one could get to” the man in need, who was experiencing shortness of breath, “difficulty breathing, and sweating.” When the delayed paramedics arrived, the man was already unconscious.

Home Depot Provides Muslim Sensitivity Training--Partners with CAIR .......................................................................................... 23 Dec 2014 buzzpo.com The Home Depot partnered with the Council on American-Islamic Relations–a group that has alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood–in order to help foster “cultural awareness” among its employees. CAIR is known for its radical agenda and labels any critic of Islam as “Islamophobic.” The United Arab Emirates has gone so far as to call CAIR a terrorist organization for their shady dealings. CAIR issued a release stating that the goal of the training was to educate Home Depot employees on how to better meet the needs of Muslim customers.

Bay of Pigs Survivors On US-Cuba Thaw: 'Two American Presidents Betrayed Us' Guardian (UK) ^ \| December 23, 2014 \| Richard Luscombe It was presented to the world as a tearing down of barriers, a historic moment of reconciliation between the United States and Cuba’s communist government after half a century of hostility. But inside a small villa a stone’s throw from Calle Ocho in the heart of Miami’s Little Havana neighbourhood the talk is only of one word – betrayal. The house is the Bay of Pigs museum and library where the ageing survivors of Brigade 2506, the CIA-trained fighting unit that failed to topple Fidel Castro in an ill-fated – and many say ill-advised – 1961 invasion, gather to discuss the affairs of their homeland. More than five decades after the three-day conflict, which resulted in almost 120 of the invaders dying and 1,200 captured by Castro’s forces when the United States failed to deliver promised air support, the veterans are no longer the youthful and idealistic alliance of students, lawyers, bankers, former Cuban army soldiers and assorted others they once were. At the last count, fewer than 900 were still alive, most now in their 70s and 80s. But while age may have slowed them physically, there remains much fire in their hardline opposition to the Marxist revolutionaries still running Cuba. And now, after last week’s extraordinary deal between the US president, Barack Obama, and the Cuban leader, Raúl Castro, Fidel’s brother, there is plenty of sadness too. “The brigade members have been betrayed twice, once in April 1961, and now in December 2014,” said Julio González-Rebull, 78, who flew combat and resupply missions aboard a B-26 bomber from the assault team’s base in Guatemala during the failed invasion.

Obama Violating the Law that Prohibits Funding ACORN judicialwatch.org . The President from ACORN Remember ACORN? That’s the nationwide network of community organizing groups Judicial Watch helped expose for organizing and implementing a plethora of voter fraud schemes and financial misappropriation exercises that undoubtedly helped put President Obama in office. It’s the group for which Obama once served as an attorney and to which he proudly boasted, “ I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career.” Despite a 5-year-old congressional ban on federal funding for the notably corrupt Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and new offshoots, JW has now obtained documents that show a sizeable amount of taxpayer money went to an affiliate serving as Obamacare “Navigators.” My report to you here is based on our exclusive report that first appeared at our essential Corruption Chronicles blog. Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) violated the ACORN funding ban by awarding a Louisiana nonprofit called Southern United Neighborhoods (SUN) a hefty $1.3 million Obamacare Navigator grant to recruit customers for the president’s disastrous healthcare law and help them sign-up for its costly and complicated insurance exchanges. Headquartered in New Orleans, SUN was founded with former ACORN members and claims on its website that it is dedicated to combating poverty, discrimination and community deterioration – all with your tax dollars, no less. Not-so-coincidentally, the group shares its address—and government grants—with another like-minded nonprofit called United Labor Unions Council Local 100. Local 100 was established by Wade Rathke, the radical left-wing community organizer who also founded ACORN. It’s not clear in the documents obtained by JW how much of the $1.3 million HHS grant actually went to Rathke’s local, which is one of SUN’s four partner organizations. But the point remains that the group is an ACORN successor specifically proscribed by federal law from receiving taxpayer dollars. But receive these illicit monies it does – at the pleasure and for the benefit of the Obama administration. According to an investigative report by National Review, “Local 100 is a ‘sub-grantee’ providing Navigators for the Southern United Neighborhoods group.” Other organizations profiting handsomely from the Navigator boondoggle, by the way, include the National Urban League, which was paid $376,000 for its Obamacare outreach in Texas, as well as such leftwing groups as Planned Parenthood and the Virginia Poverty Law Center Inc. As JW has reported to you previously, serious questions have been raised about the requirements to be an Obamacare Navigator and the screening given to those who are hired. At a November 6, 2014, Senate Finance Committee hearing, former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted to Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) that the federal government conducts no background checks on Obamacare Navigators, and it was “possible” that they could be convicted criminals. Indeed, in January 2014, it was reported that as many as 43 convicted criminals were working as Obamacare navigators in California alone. The controversial Navigator program is not the only way the Obama administration has found to funnel money to ACORN offshoots and its corrupt former officials. As we have reported in the past, the money has flowed through various federal agencies. For instance, in 2011 a JW probe found that Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $79,819 grant to an ACORN reincarnation called Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA) to “combat housing and lending discrimination.” A year later a separate JW probe revealed that the Obama administration gave an ACORN director named Joe McGavin nearly half a billion dollars to offer “struggling” Illinois homeowners mortgage assistance. McGavin was director of counseling for ACORN Housing in Chicago and operations manager for a Chicago ACORN offshoot called Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA) shortly before getting the money. (Details of how ACORN offshoots and officials are continuing to soak up taxpayer money are available in the special JW report, “The Rebranding of ACORN”). We also have a slew of ACORN news here. Remember, all of this occurred after Congress was forced to pass a law ( Defund ACORN Act) in 2009 to stop the huge flow of taxpayer money that annually filled the corrupt organization’s coffers. The Obama administration chose to do an end run around that law. And it continues to do so today. The recent “ Crominbus” bill that funds HHS and the departments of Labor and Education once again contains specific language restricting any money from going to ACORN. “None of the funds made available under this or any other Act, or any prior Appropriations Act, may be provided to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, allied organizations, or successors,” the bill says. But, there is no reason to believe the Obama administration will abide by that law any more than they have by its predecessors. So, your JW will remain vigilant and keep you abreast of breaking developments. Until next week …
