Tea Party to Hold a 'Dump Dupnik' Rally in Effort to Recall Whack Job Sheriff

Not sure how much real impact this is going to have beyond demonstrating how effective Tea Party muscle can be, if some reports that Clarence Dupnik has indicated he wouldn't run for election again anyway, are true. Then again, in addition to Sarah Palin being the victim of blood libel and baseless accusations relative to the shootings, so has the Tea Party so I don't fault them in this effort to recall the Pima County Sheriff. Besides the blood libel angle, Dupnik seems to have tampered with the investigation by popping off about Loughner's motivations.

Via the Washington Times:

Conservatives have bristled at Sheriff Dupnik's insinuation that Republicans and the tea party movement were somehow responsible for the rampage. The Pima County Tea Party Patriots plan to "indict" the sheriff at their rally for "politicizing the shootings, blaming free speech for the crime without evidence, failing to protect Giffords, failing to recuse himself from the investigation, and embarrassing the community in front of the nation," according to the Arizona Daily Star.

As for the recall effort, it will be a test of Tea Party resolve as over 90,000 signatures in 120 days, which is just under 800 signatures a day.

The group needs to gather 90,809 valid signatures within 120 days to qualify the recall for the ballot. The recall would require a special election, which could be held at the earliest in March 2012, said Pima County Elections Director Brad Nelson.

That's a lot of signatures in a county with 485,629 registered voters. In order to oust Sheriff Dupnik, recall organizers would also have to make sure another candidate runs against him, and so far the sheriff is batting 1.000 against Republican challengers.

As time goes by, the only person Dupnik's words seemed to benefit were Obama, who called to thank him.

Arizona Sheriff Dupnik Silenced on Loughner Shooting

There are many angles to this one. As Sheriff Dupnik's mouth kept running about how talk radio and rhetoric was responsible for Jared Loughner's shooting spree, multiple people pointed to how the more he spoke, the more he would damage the prosecution's case. It appears that speculation has become a reality based on a news report from Tucson's ABC affiliate, KGUN-9. Indications are that there is some friction between the Sheriff's Office and the County Attorney's Office.

Via KGUN:

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The Pima County Sheriff's Department has suddenly turned off the flow of information in the January 8th mass shootings in Tucson. Shortly after noon Tuesday Sheriff's PIO Jason Ogan released this terse, one-line statement:

"Until further notice, due to a controversy between the Sheriff's Department and the County Attorney's office, no further information reference the January 8, 2011 shooting will be released."

Interestingly, now that marching orders seem to be taking shape with respect to who is being prosecuted by whom, the County Attorney will have skin in the game, which likely plays a big factor here.

The federal government is prosecuting accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner only on those charges related to his actions against victims who were federal employees. It will be up to County Attorney Barbara LaWall to decide when, and whether, to prosecute Loughner on charges related to the other victims.

The word "controversy" contained in the statement would seem to imply some sort of disagreement or discord between the Sheriff's Department and LaWall's office. But the statement did not elaborate about the nature of the controversy. When contacted by KGUN9 News, LaWall's office declined to comment.

So Loughner will be charged by the Feds relative to the deaths of Judge John Roll and a Giffords aide as well as the attempted murder of Giffords herself. The County Attorney will be responsible for prosecuting Loughner relative to his other victims. Before these prosecutorial lines had been established, Dupnik was popping off and getting phone calls from the President thanking him for his work. If the County Attorney's office is now demanding that Dupnik's Department zip their lips, why didn't the Feds do the same thing in the days after the shooting?

Weather Underground Founder Chimes in on Tucson Shootings

First of all, the fact that the Washington Post would give the Weather Underground's Mark Rudd a platform to give his take on Jared Loughner says a lot about them. The good news is, Rudd's writing says a lot about him too. Rudd was the member of the terrorist group that signed on the bombing that was to take place at an officers dance on the Fort Dix, NJ Army base in 1970. Fortunately, that bombing didn't happen because it exploded in the Greenwich Village town house where it was being assembled, killing three Weathermen.

Anyway, via the Washington Post:

I considered myself an agent of necessity in a political revolution. I'm not sure if Loughner, who seems to suffer from mental illness, can be considered an agent of anything. But I'm sure that if, as alleged, he pulled the trigger, he had convinced himself that he was doing what needed to be done.

At his age, I had thought myself into a similar corner. My willingness to endorse and engage in violence had something to do with an exaggerated sense of my own importance. I wanted to prove myself as a man - a motive exploited by all armies and terrorist groups. I wanted to be a true revolutionary like my guerrilla hero, Ernesto "Che" Guevara. I wanted the chant we used at demonstrations defending the Black Panthers to be more than just words: "The revolution has come/Time to pick up the gun!"

A little further, Rudd talks about the bombing at the Greenwich Village town house...

On March 6, 1970, the Weather Underground's bombs, assembled in a New York townhouse, exploded prematurely. Ted Gold, Diana Oughton and Terry Robbins - three brilliant and passionate young people who had decided that they must become terrorists - were killed. Only by their deaths was the greater tragedy we were plotting avoided. Emotionally shattered, I dropped out of the Weather Underground but remained a fugitive until 1977.

Kinda says it all, doesn't it? Three would be mass murderers were "brilliant" and "passionate" in the mind of Mark Rudd.

Read it all, if you can.

Videos: Tucson Shooting Victim Arrested for Threats to Tea Party Leader

His name is J. Eric Fuller and he was one of the victims of Jared Loughner's shooting rampage last week at a Tucson Safeway store. Exactly one week later, he was at a town hall meeting in Tucson hosted by ABC News' Christiane Amanpour. Also in attendance was Arizona State Rep. Terri Proud and a Tucson-based Tea Party leader Trent Humprhies. Toward the end of the town hall, Fuller took exception to what the other two had said and shouted, 'You're dead,' to Humphries shortly after taking his picture.

Unlike Loughner, whose motives for the shooting don't appear to be political, Fuller's likely are. What other reason could there be for a man to target a Tea Party leader after being shot by a crazed lunatic? The irony here is that as the left wing pundits point to the Tea Party for whipping up hatred, the evidence - particularly over the past week - is that such claims may be attributable to them.

Here's video of Fuller being arrested after making the threat to Humphries:



Amazingly, after the town hall, Amanpour was interviewed and was not even asked about the incident. In wrapping up the report, the reporter did mention the incident but did not say anything about it being levied at a Tea Party leader. Nor did he say what the threat was, just that Fuller 'mumbled what appeared to be a threat.'

Disgraceful.

Video Made by Tucson Shooter

This video, shot by Tucson shooter Jared Loughner allegedly is what got him suspended from Pima Community College, which is where this video was recorded. Throughout this video, you can hear Loughner refer to the school as a place where 'torture' and 'genocide' takes place. He is clearly and significantly unstable in this video. Again, if any politics can be gleaned from this lunatic at all, they would be from the left. That is only relevant because of the attempts by the left to pin the shootings on the Tea Party.

That said, this guy is clearly just flat out insane.

Video: Pelosi Calls Tucson Shootings a 'Tragic Accident'

There is a paradigm that says nothing happens by accident in Washington, D.C. If that's the case here, one has to wonder the political intent. It's quintessential moral relativism to say that a mass shooting is a 'tragic accident' but Pelosi went there. If it's an accident, then it's no one's fault. That would include Jared Loughner. If it's no one's fault, then everyone must share in the blame. If everyone must share in the blame, there are certain things that can be done to prevent such accidents in the future, right?

We have reached despicable lows when those who perpetrate acts of murder are no longer responsible.

Yes, Pelosi is delusional but this is likely the closest we'll get to her ever admitting that Jared Loughner was not a creature of the Tea Party or talk radio. On the contrary, if he was political at all, he was from the left.



h/t Freedom's Lighthouse

Contrast those words with what she said in 2009 when she compared the Tea Party to the (left wing) violence that happened in San Francisco in the 1970's (Weather Underground / Jim Jones). She was obviously prepared to blame the Tea Party if something did happen. Loughner wasn't it, as much as she wanted him to be.

Audio: Liberal Pundit Says Obama a 'Murderer'

The debates that are taking place as a direct result of the politicization of the Tucson shootings are literally causing the implosion of the left. On the Steve Malzberg Show, guest Marc LaMont Hill loses every single argument in this four minute clip, including the one about Loughner's potential motives. When Malzberg confronts Hill with the fact that Loughner considered the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf two of his favorite books, Hill defaults to the 'it's more complicated than that' argument.

How about if we simplify Hill's claim that such things are 'complicated.' Perhaps it's complicated because Hill himself has reverence for a female cop killer named Assata Shakur, who escaped from prison with the help of the Weather Underground, and is currently hiding in Communist Cuba.

Hillary Applying Rahm's Rule?

First, Hillary Clinton called Jared Loughner an 'extremist,' which necessarily implies that he had some sort of agenda, likely political. As more facts came out, it became obvious to anyone who wasn't an extremist themselves that Loughner was apolitical. ABC News even aired an interview with Loughner's high school friend who said the shooter wasn't political at all and didn't listen to talk radio - an accusation that had been levied by Sheriff Dupnik.

Instead of walking her statement back, Hillary doubled down, saying that Loughner had 'extreme political views.'

Via The Hill:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that the Arizona shooter who killed six and injured 14, including Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D), was motivated by political views.

In an interview with CNN Wednesday Clinton, who had recently referred to the shooter as an "extremist," doubled down on her comments saying that the shooter was an extremist who acted on his "bizarre" political views.

For the record, if Loughner was political, his views more clearly aligned with the left; What do you call revering communism, flag burning, and atheism? On that note, this video of Clinton leaving Yemen a day earlier is rather appropriate if you apply the metaphor that the airplane represents the means for Hillary to push an agenda and whatever she tripped on represents the truth. This will never get old. Oh, she wasn't hurt, which is why I have no compunction about posting it.



Let's not forget, too, that Hillary once cited Rahm's rule never to let a crisis go to waste when talking about the economy and climate change back in 2009.

ARIZONA SHERIFF DUPNIK REFUSING TO RELEASE LOUGHNER DATA

Sheriff Clarence Dupnik is racking up quite the history of saying and doing things that run counter to what he should legally say and do. Last April, he publicly called S.B. 1070 a 'racist' law and said he would instruct his deputies not to enforce it. Then, ever since Saturday, he has been potentially tampering with an investigation by ascribing blame for the Safeway massacre to people without evidence. Now, his department is refusing to release data it has on Jared Loughner.

This latest stunt by Dupnik could be a violation of the law.

Via AZ Central:

Sheriff's Department and community-college officials in Pima County are refusing to release a wide range of public documents about the man charged in Saturday's shooting rampage that left six dead and more than a dozen wounded.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department and Pima Community College have declined to release documents that could shed light on run-ins they had with 22-year-old Jared Loughner in the months prior to the shooting.

The Arizona Public Records Law requires that records be "open to inspection by any person at all times" unless officials can prove releasing the information would violate rights of privacy or confidentiality or otherwise harm the best interests of the state.

The Arizona Republic requested that records, including incident reports on campus and calls for dispatch of deputies to Loughner's home, be released under the law. Such reports are often released as a matter of course in criminal cases.

Dupnik could be a criminal.

VIDEO: LOUGHNER'S FRIEND SAID HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO TALK RADIO

So much for Sheriff Clarence Dupnik's theory that Rush Limbaugh is responsible for the Arizona shootings perpetrated by Jared Loughner. During an interview with ABC's Ashleigh Banfield, Loughner's high school friend Zach Osler said that Loughner didn't watch television or listen to political radio. He was neither right wing or left wing. The entire segment is worth watching but if pressed for time, fast forward to the 2:32 mark. Anyone wondering why Dupnik didn't talk to Osler before popping off about Loughner being driven to madness by Rush Limbaugh?

VIDEO: TIME MAGAZINE'S MARK HALPERIN CHANNELING ALINSKY

While appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, TIME's Mark Halperin conceded that conservatives are right to be upset with liberals over the politicizing of the Safeway massacre but then invokes a Christian precept that the right should apply. Unbelievably, Halperin instructs conservatives to 'turn the other cheek.' This is quintessential Saul Alinsky. In fact, he had an entire rule dedicated to this very notion. This exchange says quite a bit about Halperin's affinity for the left wing. He's using a premise that any argument necessarily involves fault on both sides, which is a red herring.

Uncle Saul's Rule #4:

Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

What Halperin doesn't get - or gets and rejects - is that by conservatives backing down, they'd be turning their backs, not their cheeks.



As former Muslim terrorist Walid Shoebat says, not all fights take two to tango and then asks those who subscribe to such a notion to tell him what the Jews did to tango with Nazi Germany.

ARIZONA SHERIFF CLARENCE DUPNIK ACTING STUPIDLY

As we watched an Arizona Sheriff in Clarence Dupnik unbelievably and egregiously lay blame for the shooting that took place in his county this weekend at the feet of talk radio, reality was suspended. In the hours after the Safeway massacre, Dupnik blamed people who weren't even tangentially involved with the shooter, without evidence. In short, he 'acted stupidly.' If Barack Obama was ever justified in publicly stating that 'police acted stupidly,' it is in the case of Sheriff Dupnik.

That's the subject of my article at American Thinker:

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik ascribed blame in a murder case to radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh - thereby labeling him an accomplice - while conceding he has no proof. At a press conference in the summer of 2009, President Barack Obama admitted to not having all the facts about an incident involving his friend Henry Louis Gates and the Cambridge Police. He then proceeded to declare that the Police "acted stupidly" anyway.

Gates was belligerent with his arresting officer Sgt. James Crowley, called him a "racist" and then demanded an apology. Crowley refused to issue one. Sheriff Dupnik last April publicly stated he would order his deputies not to enforce Arizona S.B. 1070 because it is a "racist" law. After the Safeway massacre, he proclaimed his own state a "Mecca for racism and bigotry" without having any facts.

The incident involving Gates and Crowley became a public relations nightmare for the Obama administration as the days went by. The remedy decided upon was to conceal defeat in the form of a perceived truce between Crowley and Gates at the infamous White House Beer Summit. In reality, it was an attempt to stop the bleeding (metaphor intended). Crowley was being vindicated by the minute while Obama and Gates looked increasingly foolish and angry.

If Obama was able to assert that the Cambridge Police "acted stupidly" without having all of the facts, why won't he assert that the head of the Pima County Police is acting stupidly when the facts support such a conclusion? As a lawman, it's Dupnik's job to avoid drawing conclusions relative to the motives of a suspected killer, let alone doing so publicly or while the investigation is still ongoing.

Therefore, he is not only acting stupidly but he may even be tampering with an investigation.

If ever Obama was justified in singling out a police officer for acting stupidly, it's in the case of Sheriff Dupnik. Yet, he remains silent on the issue; he even called Dupnik to thank him for his efforts after the Sheriff made the unsubstantiated charges. What should we infer from the fact that Dupnik's extremely irresponsible words seem to be falling on deaf presidential ears?

Is Obama giving tacit approval to Dupnik's words by ignoring them? After all, the Sheriff appears to be masterfully implementing one of the rules of Obama's mentor Saul Alinsky; in Limbaugh, Dupnik is picking his target, freezing it, polarizing it, and certainly personalizing it. Does tacit approval also come with a hidden smile and a word of encouragement during a phone call?

The president told us last year that he is not an ideologue. The facts don't support that in several examples but especially so when comparing the treatment received by Sgt. Crowley with the non-treatment received by Sheriff Dupnik.

PHOENIX PAPER SLAMS SHERIFF DUPNIK

The Arizona Republic is now on record as telling Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik that he is out of bounds. They even gave him a pass for his words in the hours after the shooting. Where they're drawing the line is his repeated media appearances in order to echo and exacerbate the sentiment.

Via AZ Central:

On Saturday afternoon, with his friend Gabby Giffords in surgery fighting for her life, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik railed against the tense partisan politics - "the anger, the hatred, the bigotry" - that prompted the mass murders outside Tucson, in his view.

And, jarring as such claims may be, we understood. Or tried to understand, despite the spectacle of a lawman - an official whose very job it is to dispassionately gather facts and to maintain order and calm - tying the attack on Rep. Giffords and others to political speech in Arizona, which he considers prejudiced and bigoted. There is no evidence that the state's politics in any way contributed to this atrocity.

Was Dupnik unnecessarily inflammatory? It seemed so. But it came mere hours following a horrific, bloody mass murder. If you weren't on edge, you weren't being human. But then, on Sunday, the venting continued anew. And a horrified nation began paying closer attention to the Pima County sheriff.

LEADER FOUND IN CONGRESS!

New U.S. Rep. from Florida's 22nd District, Lt. Col. Allen West has developed quite the reputation for speaking his mind but he is going on offense in the aftermath of the Liberal onslaught on the Tea Party by politicizing the Safeway massacre. While many conservatives point to the tactics of the left, West demonstrates leadership by saying he will not tone down his rhetoric.

Via the Palm Beach Post:

U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, this morning criticized “political opportunism” in the wake of Saturday’s shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and said he has no plans to tone down his own “stronger language.”

A little later in the article...

“One of the concerns I do have is the political opportunism that has come out of this. That’s kind of deplorable and unconscionable what some people are doing. This is not the time to start looking for grandstanding and things of that nature,” West said on his way into a West Boca Chamber of Commerce breakfast at Boca Lago Country Club.

Asked if he had any regrets about his choice of words in the past, West said, “No I don’t, because I think when you look at the president saying don’t bring a knife to a gun fight and the fact that the president talked about if the Republicans were to win in the midterms we’re going to have hand-to-hand combat.”

He also said a blogger in Broward County had once said West should be skinned alive, so “I think there are some things that both sides need to be concerned about.”

West, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, has said his references to “bayonets” and military imagery are metaphorical — and he has no plans to stop using them.

Unless conservatives like West go on offense, the left will be able to politicize this tragedy to the point of giving political correctness a quantum leap.

West is dead-on target (yes, that was intentional).

WHAT IF TIMOTHY MCVEIGH HAD A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT?

While watching the reprehensible politicization of the Arizona shooting by the left unfold, it's not a stretch to compare what's happening now with what the Clinton administration did with Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. A big problem for the left today, however, is that shooter Jared Loughner left quite a telling digital footprint of himself on the internet in the form of a YouTube Account. Not only does it reveal a deranged man but exposes someone antithetical to groups and individuals the left is trying to associate him with.

That is the basis for my latest column at Big Peace:

In 1995, the internet was still trying to get its sea legs; it was nowhere near the force it has become today in getting information to the public. On April 19th of that year, 168 people were killed in Oklahoma City and a man named Timothy McVeigh was largely responsible. Then president Bill Clinton resurrected his presidency by painting McVeigh as a right wing extremist.

Imagine if the internet of today had been available then. Would Clinton have been able to pull off such a despicable smear campaign? Not likely.

The image of McVeigh portrayed by the White House was one of an angry white Christian made even angrier by his time in the Gulf War. The narrative was difficult to refute because so much information about him was unavailable. Much of what would have been learned about McVeigh a few short hours after the bombing wasn’t actually learned until his authorized biography was released in 2002 – things like the fact McVeigh was agnostic and said “science is my religion,” which would actually align him more closely with the man-made climate change crowd or Nazis than with Christians.

In the hours after the shooting rampage in Tucson, AZ that saw the near death of a U.S. Congresswoman and the actual death of a Federal Judge, available to the public was an extensive profile of the gunman, Jared Loughner. For example, his YouTube page identified a video of an American flag burning as his favorite; also featured were his writings, which exhibited contempt for the U.S. Constitution, the Christian Bible, and God. He also listed the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf as two of his favorite books.

What would Timothy McVeigh’s YouTube, MySpace, and facebook pages look like?

In light of what we now know about McVeigh, he likely would have been open to showing a video of the burning of an American flag. Perhaps he would have posted incoherent rants about not being able to trust in God. Among his favorite books, he likely would have listed the Neo-Nazi novel, the Turner Diaries. Perhaps he would have explained his rationale for not believing in God or for the contempt he had for the U.S. Military for handing him a Bible as a recruit.

We can speculate on such things because McVeigh and Jared Loughner seem to share similar beliefs and we should have no compunction about comparing the two.

However, as the strategists of Obama’s party demonstrate an eagerness to portray Loughner as the Clinton administration portrayed McVeigh, they’re indifferent to how informed Americans are about the similarities that exist between Loughner and McVeigh. Those similarities say more about the left in America than they do about those they attempt to demonize by any means necessary.

The 1995 Clinton playbook is doomed to fail in a facebook world.

IS THIS WHY ARIZONA SHERIFF SMEARING TALK RADIO?

The Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik blamed talk radio and some television for the Safeway massacre in Tucson, AZ on Saturday. In fact, he has been popping off and speaking irresponsibly ever since. The logical question is why would a Sheriff speculate about the motives of a shooter before having all of the facts? It really is unprecedented. It appears there exists a history between Dupnik's Department and the shooter, Jared Loughner and they were violent in nature.

Via NPR:

"As we understand it, there have been law enforcement contacts with the individual where he made threats to kill," Dupnik said during a press conference Saturday evening. But he wouldn't say who those threats were aimed at.

How about this from the Arizona Daily Star:

The suspected shooter has made death threats before and been contacted by law-enforcement officers, but the threats weren't against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Dupnik said. The suspect is unstable, Dupnik said, but the sheriff would not say he is "insane."

With those reports as a backdrop, a blogger reports that Dupnik's department may have some significant culpability.

Via The Cholla Jumps:

Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers. When Pima County Sheriff’s Office was informed, his deputies assured the victims that he was being well managed by the mental health system. It was also suggested that further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it solved as Jared Loughner has a family member that works for Pima County.

Is Dupnik so outspoken about talk radio and right wing 'rhetoric' in an effort to distract attention away from his own Department?

DID CONGRESSWOMAN SUBSCRIBE TO SHOOTER'S YOUTUBE ACCOUNT?

Safeway shooter Jared Loughner created his YouTube account on October 25, 2010 according to the profile posted on his page. The profile identifies him with the username 'classitup10.' The YouTube account of Gabrielle Giffords indicates that she subscribed to only two other YouTube accounts. One of those subscriptions is to Rep. Ike Skelton; the other is to none other than 'Classitup10' - Jared Loughner. Of all the people out there with a YouTube account whom a congresswoman would subscribe to, why would Giffords subscribe to two of them, with one of them being her shooter?

Click HERE to visit Giffords' YouTube page and you will be directed to a page that looks like the one below. Then click on the subscription icon of 'Classitup10' and it will direct you to Loughner's page:


Loughner apparently worked for Giffords campaign at one point but what explanation would there be for Giffords subscribing to his YouTube account, especially when Loughner was only one of two of her subscriptions? Is this really her YouTube site or was it created by some third party? Corsi is reporting that Loughner once worked for Giffords so does this point to a connection?

BILL AYERS CURRICULUM TAUGHT TO SAFEWAY SHOOTER

Bill Ayers founded the Small School Workshop (SSW) in 1991. When Barack Obama was chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) in the 1990's, he oversaw more than $1 Million given to Ayers' Small School Workshop. Now it is learned that the Safeway massacre shooter, Jared Lee Loughner is a product, at least partially, of the Small Schools Workshop by being a student at Mountain View High School.

Via World Net Daily:

Loughner attended Mountain View High School, which is part of Arizona's Morana Unified School District.

Since 2003, Mountain View has been part of what is known as the Smaller Learning Community, a network of schools that have been restructured to create a more personalized learning environment where students often have the same teachers and fellow students from grade to grade.

Mountain View was part of the Smaller Learning Communities throughout Loughner's entire attendance there, from 9th grade until he withdrew without graduating before his senior year.

The high school received grants to research the concepts of Smaller Learning Communities and work to implement them.

Ayers himself is considered one of the fathers of the Smaller Learning Communities, often providing lectures to schools on the subject. For example, a 2001 lecture at Lewis & Clark College featured Ayers at a workshop entitled, "A Simple Justice: Building Smaller Learning Communities to Know Our Youth."

Smaller Learning Communities had its conceptual genesis in 1991, when Ayers founded a group, Small Schools Workshop, which provides training and resources to teach schools on how to implement the Smaller Learning Communities.

Verum Serum posted before the 2008 election that Obama and Ayers shared a business office and posted the list of CAC grants under Barack Obama's supervision. HERE is the page that shows more than $1 Million going to SSW. At the time, a Maoist named Mike Klonsky also shared the same office. He is still the Director of SSW.

Jared Loughner's YouTube account includes his profile (pictured - click to enlarge) which lists Mountain View High School as one that he attended.
