Two with Black Panther connections charged in St. Louis in federal firearms case : News
strange that the source for that news item is reported to have spoken on condition of anonymity
Missouri state law allows just about anyone to buy guns (been there a couple of times and have friends there who are avid outdoors men) and the straw man argument seems to have little basis, especially since the NBP are noted for openly carrying rifles and guns. Why the hell do they want or need pipe bombs when they are already armed? Something about this news that sounds kinda fishy to me.
After the arrest, one of the leaders of the New Black Panther Party, Chawn Kweli, posted a message on his blog blaming the operation on Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO).
“The wicked enemies of black people use lies and deceit to confuse the masses and misdirect the legitimate aspirations of the black power movement,” Kweli wrote. “As seen, in St. Louis, Mo, with the arrest of Chairman Olajawon Ali, and other activist ahead of the decision on whether to indict Officer Darren Wilson for killing Mike Brown – or not!”

As one commentator writes, This whole thing is stupid. Either the feds found the two dumbest people they could find and set them up, or they made the whole thing up and are just smearing two people, because they can.

Time to get home from work and secure the perimeter. Whenever the suburbanites havae cleared the city approaches they can be closed of to ingress of civilian trafic and kept clear for civil authorities etc.
The question is when would be the best time for such an announcement. The a$$holes were going to riot whenever the announcement was made.

The citizens of Ferguson, Missouri, deserve better than Al Sharpton. A world-class scumbag with criminally under-acknowledged ties to the Mafia, the FBI, Rudy Giuliani, Nixon administration shysters, corrupt business tycoons, and endless other seedy characters, Sharpton had the gall this week to castigate Ferguson residents for allegedly expressing too much anger at the police over the killing of 18-year-old Mike Brown. That Sharpton is being held up as some kind of moral exemplar, authorized to lecture people on proper behavior, is truly a sick joke. In a sense, though, you have to admire the guy’s brazenness: Few street preachers end up advising the president.

Bombshell: Major witness fingered Mike Brown’s stepfather as the source of fake claims
Witness #14 testified that Louis Head, stepfather to Mike Brown was source of “embellished” versions of the Mike Brown shooting. Head is also the man who is on video urging Mike Brown supporters to set fires in Ferguson last Monday night. 26 structures were set on fire, including a black church.
Witness #14 was sympathetic to Mike Brown, and had met Brown in the past. National Public Radio is calling witness #14 one of the most import witnesses. NPR stated today that witness 14 “offers some of the most compelling testimony.”
Witness #14 identifies Louis Head as the source of the false claim that Mike Brown was shot in the back. He also identifies Louis Head as the source of the fake claim that Mike Brown had his hands in the air.
We know know that over a dozen people committed perjury during the Grand Jury process. Louis Head was most likely one of them. Under Missouri law, committing perjury for the purpose of securing a murder conviction is a class A felony.
Even if Head did not encourage, or at worst threaten, others into repeating phony claims, he committed a class A felony if he testified to these fake claims himself.

“Professor” who assisted in Mike Brown autopsy revealed as “fraud, con artist”
Just when you thought the investigation into Ferguson cop Darren Wilson's shooting of an unarmed black teen couldn't get any more ****ed up, it gets even more ****ed up.
Shawn Parcells became an instant media star in August after assisting in a private autopsy commissioned by the family of slain teen Michael Brown. Parcells showed up constantly on TV news as a forensic pathology expert, and claimed to have testified in court dozens of times in several states over the years. He also claims to be a professor. "But an investigation by CNN that included interviews with attorneys, law enforcement and physicians suggests Parcells isn't the expert he seems to be."
Actually, the investigation makes him out to be a “con artist,” “manipulator,” and “fraud,” according to pathology experts interviewed for the piece.

Actually, the investigation makes him out to be a “con artist,” “manipulator,” and “fraud,” according to pathology experts interviewed for the piece.
Earlier this year, Parcells' LinkedIn page said he expected to start medical school at the International University of the Health Sciences in the Caribbean starting in September 2014. Later, the date was changed to 2015.
When CNN visited Parcells in his Overland Park, Kansas, home, he presented a photo of himself onstage at what appears to be a graduation ceremony at the New York Chiropractic College.
"I got a master's degree in anatomy and physiology, with clinical correlation," he said.
Asked where his diploma was, he replied that it was on the way. "It's coming," he said. "They mail it to you."
But wait, wait, this part is the best: When CNN visited Parcells in his Overland Park, Kansas, home, he presented a photo of himself onstage at what appears to be a graduation ceremony at the New York Chiropractic College.

Asked where his diploma was, he replied that it was on the way. "It's coming," he said. "They mail it to you."
Parcells doesn't claim to have any specific license or certification to do the work he does. He knows how to do autopsies from "on-the-job training," watching pathologists and assisting them at various morgues, he said. Sometimes he's been paid for this work and sometimes he wasn't, he added.
"To take out organs and to cut open a body, you don't need to be a pathologist," he said. "Come to an autopsy. I think when you see what I do, you'll realize that I'm not just making this stuff up out of blue, thin air."
Below, the CNN investigation video. Don't miss the much earlier skepticism shared by Pathology Blawg, way back in August. "To take out organs and to cut open a body, you don't need to be a pathologist," he said. "Come to an autopsy. I think when you see what I do, you'll realize that I'm not just making this stuff up out of blue, thin air."
