FLORIDA JURY AND PROSECUTORS TERMINATE TRAYVON YET AGAIN
An arguably incompetent prosecution of racially-profiling lethal stalker GEORGE ZIMMERMAN led to an acquittal of all charges this weekend by an all-female Florida jury in his fatal shooting of teenaged African-American TRAYVON MARTIN.
Protests erupted overnight in dozens of American cities, expressing the unlikely hope of a federal civil rights prosecution, after the nation's top two law-enforcement officials fumbled the basis of such redress, accepting an incompletely-researched FBI report which declared, on the basis of interviewing holster-sniffer Zimmerman's friends and colleagues, that he evinced "no racial bias" - despite his long history of 911 calls invariably blaming black youths for local burglaries.
Attorney General ERIC HOLDER gives faint praise for a successful federal prosecution at a Howard University "Delta" convention;
Presidential spokesperson JAY CARNEY deflects a question about the disproportionate gunshot killings of black youth, blaming Congress for inaction;
LISA GRAVES, director of the Center for Media and Democracy, analyzes the hidden hand of the reactionary legislative lobby ALEC (which infected 34 states with Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law in great detail, when the Trayvon martin murder was first beginning to gain national attention;

Now that so many Syrian rebels have discredited themselves, their foreign sympathizers have attempted to discover a secular, democratic component.
But there are too many reports of Al Qaeda activity in the Fee Syrian Army.
The whole discussion of democracy rests on the "Arab Spring." Yet, money from Qatar has been flowing into elections to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and other countries since the initial outbreak in Tunisia. If the 1% dominate U.S. elections, can they not do so in other countries?
