London TERROR Attack - 22/5/2013

BBC News: Reports in its 7.11pm posting that ITV has shown one of the terrorist  attackers speaking after the attacks.  It should be noted that the BBC has also shown the footage. 

Lets Get Real:

This blog is not normally shocked folks, but both ITV and BBC News showed this footage, the terrorist had blood on his hands, there is something to be said for considering the family and friends of the dead Soldier, would it not have been better to show this footage after a few days, allow the thoughts of the UK to be on the dead Soldier and not his murders.   Developing story folks. 

Terror Attack in London

Telegraph Live - Terror Attack: Reports on the terror attack on a UK Soldier  in London, the articles notes the following on the attack, " 'Soldier beheaded' in Woolwich machete attack.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

This was a savage and brutal terrorist  attack, from reports the terrorists first attacked the Soldier with a car then with knifes etc, after the Boston Bombing one should not be surprised but the vile nature of the attack has taken this blogger back a bit, that something like that can happen on a London Street, just short of a military base.  It is early yet, but the authorities are treating this attack as a terrorist attack, as the terrorists were of Muslim origins and shouted God is Great after the attack.   It will be interesting to see folks if the the terrorists were on the Government radar, were they clean skins, as in not having done anything before when it came to terrorism.  This is a developing story folks, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the dead Soldier, still hard to taken in folks, the threat never goes away. 

The IRS and the Congress Part 2

Guardian: Reports the following on the IRS Tax Scandal, " Lois Lerner says she has 'done nothing wrong' before leaving hearing into targeting of conservative groups over tax status  ".

Lets Get Real:

It was reported last night that Lois Lerner would plead the 5th before the hearing, but what was shocking was the fact that she made the above statement then then invoked her 5th, the Chairman of the Committee had her dead to rights, by making that statement the witness had waved her rights to plead the 5th, this blog is no lawyer, but knows enough law that once a witness makes a statement she or he loses the right to use the 5th and must answer questions. If the witness does not the Committee can site the witness for Contempt of Congress and throw them in jail.   The House Committee should ask her back, and since she made a statement force to answer ALL questions, even if she lands herself in trouble.  One can see that the 5th plea will or should lead the Evening News tonight in the US, this blog will be watching, lets see what, NBC and CBS do with the story, CNN is in the tank for the Obama Oval.  Shows how a great network once a rebel can become part of the establishment.   These networks should be asking why the Obama DofJ is going after Fox and the AP and not them, are they seen as part of the fold and not a threat, your either a rebel news operation or your nothing folks. 

The IRS and Congress - 2nd Term Blues

The Daily Mail: Reports the following the US Tax Scandal, " Lois Lerner, who heads up the Internal Revenue Service's tax-exempt division, plans to invoke the Fifth Amendment.. "

Lets Get Real:

Those on the right will have a field day with this folks, and you know what folks, they should, taking the 5th does not mean guilt, but it will look bad for the Oval, it will give the Republicans the argument that the Obama Administration is dirty, from the Libya, to the IRS, to the targeting of Fox reporters and Executives also AP.   It only needs one of these stories to lead to the Oval for President Obama to have a very fraught 2nd term.  It is the IRS story and the attack on reporters that could really hurt the Oval, the Tea Party groups will be out in force in the 2014 Mid Term, thus the chance of Democrats taking the House is gone, even control of the Senate could be under threat, the elite press will start to go after the Oval because if the Obama Administration is targeting Fox News and the AP, they could be next, also do not discount the terrorists attack on the US Consulate in Libya, that could have legs if it is found that the Oval gave the order not to send support to the Consulate when it was under attack, the actions of POTUS that night are still a mystery.  Also folks the press love scandals, reader read the newspapers and click the web sites, it about getting read at the end of the day folks.
