~ ~ ~ Le'Andria Johnson's Pastor Asks Church Not to Ostracize Gospel Star for 'Misguided Passion'


Gospel singer Le'Andria Johnson's pastor, Tim Rogers, says her irreverent criticism of the Church was "misguided passion" and he hopes Christians don't "throw her away altogether" because there is a place for her in the Kingdom.

"The Bible says if a brother be overtaken in a fault, if you're really spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness considering yourself," Rogers, a fellow gospel singer who leads The Hope Church in Blytheville, Arkansas, told The Christian Post earlier this week.

"A lot of preachers have called me to say she said things that they can't say. And they are sick of the politics of the church. Me and her did have a talk about her passion being guided because that's what I understand that it was the other day. It was misguided passion," he added.

Johnson won the hearts of Christians nationwide with her talent and candor when she won the BET gospel singing competition "Sunday Best" eight years ago.

Her turn in the spotlight has been punctuated by behavior that some Christians say is unbecoming for someone who professes to be a practicing Christian.

Johnson recently slammed the Church and Bishop Marvin Winans in a scathing expletive-laced critique. She also vented her frustrations with a Christian culture she described as hypocritical. Her outburst caused her to lose a booking for the recently concluded Essence Festival in New Orleans.

"You know what I'm tired of though? ... I'm tired of being Le'Andria Johnson that y'all know of," she said. "And Ima tell you like this: I could be on a Kirk Franklin level. I could be on a Mary level. Yolanda Adams, Marvin Sapp, Fred Hammond. All the gospel greats ... all the R&B. Beyoncé, Brandy. ... If I played the game, I could really be on that level. I could, but I'm not 'bout playin' no games, though."

It was after that outburst that Essence organizers reportedly removed Johnson from a slated tribute to Dottie Peoples. She said she wasn't going to pretend to be someone she wasn't just to become a gospel superstar and called out Church leaders for being hypocritical while dismissing the Church as a business.

Johnson apologized on Monday for her delivery but remained unrepentant about her criticism of the machinery behind Christian culture.

"You know Christianity, it's just a lot that's going on. So the way I said it, using the F-bomb, I apologize to the fans of mine that do go to church. I do apologize if I've offended you," she said.

Rogers explained that while he had not seen the videos of Johnson's rants online, he spoke with her about them and said he encouraged the apology.

"She is a member of our church. So she called me and she told me what happened. She told me what she said. She asked me did I look at it. She told me she was coming home to come to church. We had a chance to sit down. I know Le'Andria. I know her heart. A lot of people in the world they only know her by her gifting. And this is something I'm learning about the Church," he said.

"The Church will accept your gifts but they really don't want that person. That's why when the person is singing you ignore the gifts. And the gift is alright. It makes us feel good until we know who you really are. Le'Andria is a nice person. She means well. She just doesn't have a filter. And she has a lot of learning to do," he said.

"I think she is a wonderful person and I still think she has a place in the kingdom. She just doesn't fit well in a box. And you know religion has a way of boxing you in that you can only be this. You can never be anything other than that. In order to be accepted in this circle you can only be this and you can only talk like this. Well Le'Andria is not that person. But she's learning. I just hope the church doesn't throw her away altogether," Rogers said.

KANYE WEST IS SUDDENLY RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL (WHAT ABOUT THE CONCERTS??)








KANYE WEST IS SUDDENLY RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL:

IT'S TOO HOT FOR ILLUMINATI HITMEN TO ELIMINATE HIM RIGHT NOW.

KANYE HAS EXPOSED EVERYONE & EVERYTHING.

#PRAYFORKANYE

***** Kanye West Released From the Hospital a Week After Being Admitted for "Exhaustion"
Kanye West is on his way home following his hospitalization.


E! News can confirm the rapper was released from the hospital a week after being admitted for exhaustion on Nov. 21. According to TMZ, the rapper is at home with his wife and kids.

Just hours after the surprise cancellation of the rest of his Saint Pablo Tour, E! News confirmed the Grammy-winning rapper voluntarily went to the UCLA Medical Center for evaluation after suffering from exhaustion and sleep deprivation.

At the time, the rapper was with his personal trainer Harley Pasternak. The hospital visit was under the consultation of West's physician, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

After the doctor made the 911 call, the incident was deemed a "medical emergency" and the Fire Department responded to Pasternak's home Monday afternoon. In a recording of the Fire Department's dispatch call (obtained by TMZ), the encounter was referred to as a "psychiatric emergency."

His wife of two years, Kim Kardashian, was with West at the hospital Tuesday morning, the source said. The reality star had been in New York City Monday night to make her first public appearance at the Angel Ball charity function since being robbed at gunpoint in Paris in early October.

However, upon West's hospitalization, the mother of two turned around and headed back to Los Angeles without making any such appearance.

According to a second source, the star's mounting exhaustion is to blame on his "workaholic" personality. He has been working around the clock on fashion design, both on his own line and his adidas line. Balancing his projects and the demands of his tour every night has been a challenge for the star.

Being on the road and away from his young children and wife—particularly after the traumatic robbery in Paris—has also been challenging. As the source noted, all the time spent away from his family has been a stress on West as he considers them the most important.

Earlier this week, another source told E! News that the rapper was not being held "against his will" in the hospital. Rather, he wasn't quite ready to leave just yet.

"Kanye is the kind of person if he gets released and isn't mentally ready he will go back to his old ways and push himself over the limit again," the insider explained. "He needs to keep up with counseling even though he has an intense work schedule. He is just really drained and still weak. He isn't himself."

Unconfirmed reports have claimed the rapper was handcuffed to a gurney. The handcuffing is standard protocol for an involuntary psychiatric hold, which is also referred to as a "5150." In such cases, patients are believed to potentially be a danger to themselves, others around them, and/or gravely disabled.

By Tuesday afternoon, a source told E! News, "Kanye is doing better." The insider added that the rapper did not have a phone or computer with him per doctors' directions. As the source noted, West's "mental exhaustion" was taking a toll. "He almost quit a few times during tour, including right after the robbery."

His wife of two years, Kim Kardashian, was with West at the hospital Tuesday morning, the source said. The reality star had been in New York City Monday night to make her first public appearance at the Angel Ball charity function since being robbed at gunpoint in Paris in early October.

UNFORGETTABLE MUSICAL ICON NATALIE COLE DEAD AT AGE 65





UNFORGETTABLE MUSICAL ICON NATALIE COLE DEAD AT AGE 65:

BLACK LEGEND WHO DIED MUCH TOO YOUNG.


Chart-topping R&B singer Natalie Cole, who followed her legendary father into the music business with hits like “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” and “Unforgettable,” died at age 65.

“Natalie Cole, sister beloved & of substance and sound. May her soul rest in peace,” tweeted the Rev. Jesse Jackson on New Year’s Day.

Cole, who had struggled with a variety of health issues in recent years, died Thursday night, according to publicist Maureen O’Connor. The cause of death was reportedly congestive heart failure.

A physically weakened Cole, winner of nine Grammy Awards, was forced to cancel a string of concert performances over the last three months after a recurrence of hepatitis C linked to her earlier drug abuse.

The daughter of music icon Nat (King) Cole scored a huge 1991 hit with “Unforgettable” — a virtual duet with her late father. Natalie was just 15 when her father died in 1965, a decade before his daughter launched her own solo recording career.

The album “Unforgettable ... With Love” spent five weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts, sold more than 14 million copies worldwide and won six Grammy Awards.
But her career exploded with her 1975 debut album that included the massive hit single “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” and a pair of Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Performance.

Cole initially struggled with success, battling a devastating cocaine addiction until her manager sent her “kicking and screaming” to drug rehab in 1983, the singer recalled.
She had previously experimented with drugs like LSD and heroin, but it was cocaine that sent her into a spiral as her career and marriage faltered. A first trip to rehab failed, but the second one took — and she remained sober for the remainder of her life.
Her career was soon back on track with her hit cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Pink Cadillac,” along with the singles “Jump Start My Heart” and “I Live for Your Love.”
Cole, who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, wrote a pair of memoirs and starred in a 2001 made-for-TV movie “Livin’ For Love: The Natalie Cole Story.”

In 2009, she received a kidney from an anonymous donor after hepatitis C forced her into dialysis. Cole became a spokesperson for the University Kidney Research Organization, a group dedicated to eradicating kidney disease.

She appeared in June 2014 at the Apollo Theater’s 80th birthday celebration.

Rodney King's Funeral Eulogized By Rev. Al Sharpton: R.I.P. My Courageous Brother



















Rodney King Laid To Rest At Forest Lawn

One of Rodney King’s daughters remembered him not as a civil rights figure, but as a “gentle giant” of a father, as he was buried Saturday.

“I will remember his smile, his unconditional love,” said Laura Dene King, 28, to a phalanx of news cameras outside the Hall of Freedom at Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills, where her father was about to be interred.

“He was a great father, a great friend, he loved everyone. People will just have to smile when they think of him,” she said.

Rev. Jesse Jackson and other civil rights luminaries were planning to attend today’s funeral for King, whose beating at the hands of Los Angeles police in 1992 crystallized the nation once again over race relations.

King, 47, was found in cardiac arrest two weeks ago at the bottom of his swimming pool in Rialto.

He died at a nearby hospital.

Toxicology results are still pending.

At a pre-funeral news conference, MSNBC commentator Rev. Al Sharpton said King “bore his scars with grace and dignity, and he never showed bitterness to the officers who beat him.

“People should not be judged by the mistakes that they make, but by how they rise above them,” Sharpton said. “Rodney had risen above his mistakes, he never mocked anyone, not the police, not the justice system, not anyone.

“He became a symbol of forgiveness,” Shaprton said.

Donors large and small had chipped in for the funeral and other arrangements, and filed into the faux-colonial structure at the cemetery. TV producer Anthony Zuiker donated $10,000, and said he was at the funeral “to be with Rodney’s family.

“We lost a symbol, but they lost a loved one,” said Zuiker, creator of the “CSI” franchise. “Rodney was a healer.”

King’s longtime attorney, Steven Lerman, said most people made incorrect assumptions about King, not knowing his real background. King had grown up in a mixed-race environment in middle-class Altadena, Lerman said today.

King’s plaintive “can we all just get along” lament, at the height of the vicious L.A. Riots, was a direct reflection of that background, and of the tolerance taught to King by his mother, Odessa King, Lerman said.

“That didn’t just come out of the blue,” he said,.

“There was a certain playfulness in his spirit that always shined through,” Lerman said. He recalled his disbelief when King told him he had never seen the Watts Towers, a South Central L.A. landmark, and his joy at seeing them for the first time.

Today’s services were held nearly two weeks after King’s death, a delay that family members attributed to financial woes and disagreement about how it was to be handled. In the end, the family decided for a public ceremony, and allowed a pool TV camera inside.






Rodney King remembered at funeral as forgiving man

Rodney King was remembered in Los Angeles on Saturday as a forgiving man who bore the scars of his infamous beating with dignity.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who delivered the eulogy at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, said before the funeral that King never showed bitterness to the officers who beat him.

"People should not be judged by the mistakes that they make, but by how they rise above them," Sharpton said outside the Hall of Freedom at the sprawling cemetery grounds. "Rodney had risen above his mistakes.

He never mocked anyone — not the police, not the justice system, not anyone."

"He became a symbol of forgiveness," Sharpton said.

The funeral came nearly two weeks after King was found dead at the bottom of the swimming pool at his Rialto, Calif. home on June 17.

He was 47.

Family members held a private service early in the day, followed by a public memorial and burial. Mourners signed a guest book and surveyed newspaper clippings from the days when King dominated headlines in 1991 and 1992.

A large photograph of a smiling King was set on an easel.

Daughter Laura Dene King, 28, said she was proud to have had her father in her life for as long as she did, especially considering she almost lost him when she was six years old.

"I will remember his smile, his unconditional love," she said.

Reliving Days (and Lyrics) When No One Got Along


Twenty years ago Los Angeles was burning, a conflagration that began with a videotape. Four police officers who had been captured on camera beating Rodney King were acquitted on April 29, 1992, and for days the city seethed.

More than 50 people died. Property damage was estimated at about $1 billion. All of it directly traceable to the power of video documentation.

That isn’t the sort of documentation promised by the title of the documentary “Uprising: Hip Hop and the L.A. Riots,” which has its premiere Tuesday on VH1. That hip-hop had foretold the events of those few days, and that it continued to reference them in the aftermath, is the animating principle of this film, which has plenty of vintage interview clips of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice-T and more to demonstrate the point.

But what’s more notable is the seamlessness with which the director, Mark Ford, is able to recreate the early moments of the riots, using videos captured on the spot that still shock.

There is news footage, of course, like the images of Reginald Denny being pulled from his truck and savagely beaten, filmed from a news helicopter. But some of the most vivid belly-of-the-beast images came from Matthew McDaniel, a black filmmaker who was in South Central Los Angeles before the fires began; large parts of his work are reproduced here.

Bart Bartholomew, a photographer, was on the scene; originally embedded with police officers, he stayed after they evacuated. Before long he was assaulted as he tried to leave in his car. This, too, was caught on film.

Even though Mr. Ford has all this at his disposal, he becomes tentative when it’s time to do something besides play old clips. Often this film is too in thrall to its subjects, especially the still-aggrieved Henry Watson, one of the men convicted of beating Mr. Denny, who is given a disproportionate amount of time to hem and haw over his actions.

Even less regretful is the University of Southern California professor Todd Boyd, who says: “I didn’t shed a tear for Reginald Denny. He shouldn’t have been in that truck in that neighborhood at that time. That’s unfortunate, just like it was unfortunate for Rodney King.”

Mr. Ford does an admirable job of tracking down several principals, including Mr. King; several Los Angeles police chiefs, though not Daryl Gates, who was in charge then and died in 2010; and the filmmaker John Singleton (“Boyz N the Hood”), righteously livid in news reports that day, and still so.

But Mr. Ford has little idea what to do with these strong personalities apart from letting them speak. He doesn’t offer a complete history of the events. There’s scarce mention until late in the film of how the riots affected other minority groups; the footage of Korean shopkeepers shooting at potential looters is some of the most striking in the film.

And though there are oodles of references to the seminal 1988 N.W.A. song with the aggressive, anti-authoritarian and unprintable title that’s presented here as the soundtrack to the riots, and to “Cop Killer,” by Ice-T’s rock band, Body Count, this film doesn’t say much about hip-hop as protest music or even prophecy.

In an old interview Ice Cube is incendiary and perfectly level: “The uprising in L.A., it’s just, you know, that’s the only way you can get white people to hear what black people got to say.” That aside, Mr. Ford is more apt to paint rappers as participants than respondents.

Snoop Dogg, who narrates this film, is anything but dispassionate. “Me and my homies were out in the riots,” he says. “We felt like we were taking a part of history.” Tupac Shakur drove through, a friend recalls, shooting a gun in the air, then signed autographs for looters of a record store.

The closest Mr. Ford gets to an argument comes on the matter of Dr. Dre’s album “The Chronic,” which was released in December of that year and became hip-hop’s key crossover document. “We were ready to move on,” Snoop Dogg says, “and the music spoke to that.”

But two songs on that album sample tirades from some of the same firsthand footage that Mr. Ford uses, stealthily broadcasting that rage, keeping it alive with each play.

Whitney Houston Died From Combination Of Heart Disease, Cocaine & Drowning: Leave Her Alone! R.I.P.










Cocaine, heart disease contributed to Houston's drowning, coroner says

Whitney Houston died from an accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub, but the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use" were contributing factors in her death, the Los Angeles County coroner said in an initial autopsy report released Thursday.

Houston, 48, was "found submerged in bathtub filled with water" and "no trauma or foul play is suspected," the coroner said in a one-page release.
Her cocaine use appeared to have occurred "in the time period just immediately prior to her collapse in the bathtub at the hotel," Chief Coroner Craig Harvey told reporters.

The 60% narrowing of her arteries "suggest a cardiac event complicated by the cocaine use" led to Houston's slipping underwater, Harvey said.

"Something happened that caused her to go down and we know that when she slipped under the water she was still alive," he said. "We have evidence of drowning since there was water in the lungs."

The toxicology tests found other drugs in her body, including marijuana, the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril and the allergy medicine Benadryl, the report said. But these drugs "did not contribute to the death," it said.

The report released Thursday did not disclose the levels of each drug, but that information will be included in the final coroner report to be made public within two weeks, the coroner said.

Houston's family, which had been informed of the findings before Thursday's release, issued a statement through a family spokeswoman.

"We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure," said Patricia Houston, the singer's sister-in-law and former manager.

Houston died February 11 in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, the day before the music industry gathered for the annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Authorities had said that police and fire officials were called to Houston's room at the Beverly Hilton after her unconscious body was found in the bathtub, just hours before she was to attend a pre-Grammy party at the hotel.

Houston won six Grammys and sold 170 million albums, singles and videos over her career.

In recent years, the singer's accomplishments were overtaken by her struggles with drug addiction.

Andrew Breitbart Predicted Brokered 2012 GOP Convention; Was In Talks With CNN (Videos) R.I.P.






















Andrew Breitbart was 'in talks with CNN' over new show with Anthony Weiner before he died aged just 43


Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand and new media pioneer who died suddenly at just 43, had told friends he was poised to take his jihad against the Left deeper into the mainstream media with a regular show on CNN.

Last weekend, Breitbart told friends he was in early talks with CNN about a Crossfire-style show in which he would argue from the Right alongside former US House representative Anthony Weiner taking him on from the Left.

Such a show could have been a blockbuster. In what was perhaps his finest hour, Breitbart was the man who ended the political career of Weiner by revealing that the married congressman he had sent lewd photographs sent to young women via Twitter.

Articulate, outspoken and - before his fall from grace - a darling of the Left, Weiner was one of the few liberals who might have given Breitbart a run for his money.

It would also have been a dramatic move for CNN, which previously brought in disgraced Eliot Spitzer, who resigned as New York governor after his trysts with a high-end prostitute were revealed, for a show that was subsequently dropped.

Separately, Breitbart had been asked last Friday by Hollywood screenwriter ans producer Aaron Sorkin about how he might be portrayed in Sorkin's new HBO series The Newsroom, about the inner workings of a cable news network.

Sorkin told me via email: 'I e-mailed Andrew last Friday because the episode of The Newsroom I'm currently writing takes place during the week the Anthony Weiner photos were in the news.

'Andrew and I had struck up a friendly e-mail relationship and so I reached out to ask him if he could give me a timeline of the events from his point of view. I got a quick response -'I'm in' - and we were supposed to meet for coffee at the end of the day today [Thursday].'

Sorkin said that the coffee would have been 'about Andrew shedding any new light on the Anthony Weiner incident' and 'we'll likely see shards of Andrew during his various appearances that week' in news footage from that time.

Confidants of Breitbart say he had some reservations about a CNN show but would probably have signed up for it. He was intrigued by the notion of a show with Weiner, believing it could be a vehicle for real discussion of ideas.

Edie Emery, spokeswoman for CNN, said that CNN had no comment.

I first met Breitbart in 2007, when he was still working in relative obscurity for the Drudge Report. Engaging and irrepressible, he had a passion for taking on liberals and delighted in doing so from his native Los Angeles, which he viewed as the belly of the beast.

Working from the basement of his home in Brentwood, he would post stories on the Drudge Report that would be read by millions and help shape the media narrative. In each pretty much each corner of virtually every room was some kind of Apple device so that he would always be connected to the world outside.

He was proud that the house was right next to the LA National Cemetery, where many American troops were buried and military funerals were often held. He told me that his real estate agent had told him the proximity to the cemetery meant the house was worth less but to him it increased its value.

Although he saw the mainstream media as the enemy, he understood it and knew many of its main players. This enabled him to use the media, sometimes from with, as well as oppose it. I remember him telling me that the internet had been invented for him because is provided an outlet for his Attention Deficit Disorder, with which he had been diagnosed.

Shortly afterwards, Breitbart burst onto the national scene, leaving Drudge to set up his Big Government websites. Almost overnight, he became a conservative megastar.

The next time I saw him in LA was last September, when we met for drinks at Barney's Beanery in Westwood with mutual friends. By this time, one of the weapons he used to fight the Left was Twitter. As he approached, wearing a t-shirt from a Tea Party group he had spoken to, he was walking and tweeting.

Although he could come across as an angry figure, particularly when on the defensive on television, the reality was that Breitbart loved life and had an immense capacity for humour and mischief. Adopted by a secular Jewish couple, he had grown up holding conventional political views (his natural father was an Irish musician; he knew who his birth parents were but had no interest in meeting them).

Despite his fearlessness, he was also a sensitive soul and a very affectionate husband to Susie and father of four. He gloried in his battles, re-tweeting the vilest things said about him to shame and expose their authors.

But he told me that he had wondered about the effect of his public persona when his son had been upset relating how a school friend had said to him: 'My father says that your father is evil'.

But Breitbart was happy to have made a hundred new friends for every friend he had lost because of his new celebrity as a Right-winger.

That night, he recounted how he had received an agonised - and completely unsolicited - email from a college friend who had explained at great length why he could no longer be his friend. Breitbart laughed at the presumptuousness of the whole thing and how he had replied with two words: 'Oh well.'

He also said that night that he had recently gone to the hospital emergency room with a tightness in his chest. When a nurse had 'freaked out' at how high his blood pressure was, he had responded: 'Don't tell me that - you'll make it even higher.'

Breitbart had looked overweight and stressed that night. I and the others with us told him he needed to ease up on his insane travel schedule and he talked about trying to exercise more, taking downtime with his family and getting a personal assistant to take charge of his diary.

But he always seemed to be on Twitter, on TV, on the phone or on a plane - and sometimes seemingly two or three of these at once. A few months ago, he set up a part-time base on Capitol Hill, spending time in Washington working out of a wonderfully kitsch historic house decorated by a rich Egyptian and right next to the US Supreme Court.

I last saw Breitbart on Saturday in Troy, Michigan. He was appearing at the Tea Party-linked Americans For Prosperity conference, where Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney also spoke. That morning, he had uncharacteristically slept in until 10am and there had been a panic about where he was.

During his speech, however, he was on vintage form, describing Barack Obama as 'the metronome' and his allies as 'the alligators'. He declared proudly: 'I'm out there fighting with the metronome.

I'm out there fighting with the alligators.' At another point, he said: 'I'm fighting these people as hard as I can. They're totalitarians.'

He urged conservatives to 'stop acting like Leftists' in denouncing those who backed Republican candidates who might not pass this or that purity test and said it was essential to get behind whoever was the nominee.

As usual, he was extremely funny, joking about how he had shaved his stubble and cut his hair after Occupy people said that 'I look like a bum'. In describing an anti-Republican media narrative designed to divert attention from unemployment and gas prices by highlighting social issues, he said: 'I have four children.

I took care of the thing down there. Contraception's not in the top two billion things in my world.'

He branded MSNBC 'race card television' and that if a conservative said 'gymnasium' on television, the response would be: ''Gym' originates in antebellum South Carolina.

You're all racist!'

The next day, he took a car to Detroit airport with filmmaker Ann McElhinney, another speaker and a close friend. As he got in, he told her: 'I feel awful. I feel really bad.' She put it down to a hangover.

In the car, they discussed Aaron Sorkin - on Friday night, he had shown her the email from Sorkin - and the prospect of a CNN with Weiner. Breitbart felt that such a CNN show would rehabilitate Weiner but he wanted to ensure it would be serious and would involve going out and talking to real people as well as back-and-forth in the studio.

They talked about Fox News, which Breitbart felt was stuck in the past with too many blonde presenters and outdated formats. One of the journalists he admired most, he said, was Dana Loesch, who worked for him as Big Government and is now also CNN contributor.

He described her as a 'warrior princess', effective because she was cool and modern.

Breitbart thought that the Left feared people like Loesch most because she was an attractive, engaging, hip person who did not fit the stereotype of dour, fusty conservative. Essentially, the same thing could have been said about him.

One of Breibart's central arguments was that conservatives had allowed themselves to be excluded from popular culture - film, television, music, even art. He was a central figure in the largely undercover world of Hollywood conservatism.

At the end of his speech in Troy, he said that conservatives would have to endure the race card and the 'fairness' card being played against them in the coming election. 'This is warfare. They're at war with you and the very idea that you're still here shows that the Tea Party mindset is alive and kicking.'

Who would have thought that the fiercest and most formidable conservative warrior of all was about to leave the battlefield.

Andrew Breitbart, a Conservative Blogger is DEAD at 43 Supposedly from "Natural Causes".

Breitbart helped to launch popular Websites: "The Drudge Report" & "Huffington Post".

He later launched his own Successful site: "Big Government".

Call me Crazy or Call me a "Conspiracy Theorist" (I'm NOT) but I truly believe Andrew Breitbart Knew Something.
Something that could upset the 2012 Election.

He was probably getting ready to expose what he knew & now Suddenly he ends up DEAD in Los Angeles at 43.
NOT A Coincidence!

Even if Breitbart was a Pain-in-the-butt Politically for Liberals, GOP Establishment Leaders & some Conservatives, he still had the right of Freedom of the Press.

Someone on Twitter wanted to know if former Congressman Anthony Weiner is happy Andrew Breitbart is Dead.

I seriously doubt Anthony Weiner will issue a Public Statement Celebrating Breitbart's Death despite what he did to him.

On a Personal level, I am NOT happy to see Anyone Die regardless of what they have done because I'm NOT God.

I'm telling ya'll Los Angeles is Corrupt! This includes LAPD & the Coroner's Office.

When Powerful People want to get rid of Someone In the Political or Entertainment Arena, for the past several years their deaths have occurred in Los Angeles.

The Cause of Death is Always Mysterious and listed as Natural Causes, Suicide or Prescription Drug Overdose.

As this Election closes in, the American People are going to see even more Strange Things Occurring. I Suggest We ALL Begin to Pray.

Andrew Breitbart Dead at 43 R.I.P.








Publisher and Author Andrew Breitbart Dead

Andrew Breitbart, the noted conservative Internet publisher and author, has died. He was 43.

A statement posted on his website said that Breitbart died "unexpectedly from natural causes" this morning.

The Los Angeles Coroner's Office confirmed to ABC News Radio that Breitbart died shortly after midnight at UCLA Medical Center.

The following statement was posted on Breitbart's website today:

"With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart. We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:

'I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I've lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I've gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.'

Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us."

A conservative blogger and journalist, Breitbart helped launch the Huffington Post and was an editor at the Drudge Report.

He also founded his own news network, acting as the publisher of several news websites including Breitbart.com, Breitbart.tv, Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism and Big Peace.

Big Government broke the ACORN child sex trafficking scandal and also, in 2011, the "Weinergate" photo scandal that led to the resignation of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner.

Breitbert was known for publishing controversial exposes and wrote a best-selling critique of celebrity culture, "Hollywood, Interrupted." His newest book "Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!" was on the New York Times bestseller list.

Whitney Houston's Death & Michael Jackson's Death: Eerily Similar Circumstances (Music Industry Casualties)
















NOTE: This is NOT a Conspiracy Theory blog post.

Who's the Sole Heir to Whitney Houston's Estate?
Her Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown!

This is why I am Urging everyone to please keep this Young Woman in your Daily Prayers in Jesus Name.

Does Bobbi Kristina know something about her Mother's death that some people don't want her to tell? YES!

This is why the Media & Music Industry Insiders are trying so hard to paint her as an Drug Addict and trying to make her Appear CRAZY.

Not many people within the American BLACK Community believes or wants to believe that prior to her Death Whitney Houston was basically BROKE.

Whitney Only earned about $200 to $300 Million in her Prime.

Clive Davis earned about a Cool Billion but NOT Whitney because she Owned NO Publishing Rights Or Songwriting Credits to her Music.

$200 to $300 Million can go very quickly when you are required to pay Managers' Fees, Songwriting Fees, Recording Fees, Touring Expenses, Security, Stylists, Make Up Artists, Family Members, Friends, Property Taxes, etc.,

And....Buy Drugs!

For more than 20 Years Whitney was Enslaved to Contracts with Clive Davis, who NEVER allowed her to be released from her Contracts.

He also NEVER allowed her to sign with other Companies because he is So Powerful in the Entertainment/ Music Industry.

Clive Davis was also a Lawyer who knew how to draft her Contracts to benefit his pockets more than Whitney's.

Due to Health Problems, during the last few years of her Life, Whitney cost Clive Davis More Money then she was able to Physically Earn.

Contrary to Media reports, Clive Davis did NOT Love Whitney!

If he Loved Whitney there is NO Way he would have allowed his Pre-Grammy Party to proceed in the Same Hotel Whitney died in, while her Body remained upstairs in the room Wrapped up in Sheets.

In fact Whitney's Body was NOT removed by the Coroner until AFTER Clive Davis' Party ended, because the Coroner was told to NOT pick up her Body until then.

This is why Chaka Khan was so angry about his Party & did NOT attend.

Clive Davis Loved the Control he possessed over her life & the huge amounts of Money he made from her Gifted Voice when she was in her Prime.

Clive knew Whitney's Music would make a Mint once she died.

Am I Blaming Clive Davis for Whitney Houston's Death? NO.
Am I Implicating Clive Davis in Whitney Houston's Death? NO.

Everyone is free to think or believe as he or she pleases about this situation.

As it relates to her Drug Use, Whitney was introduced to Cocaine by Music Industry Insiders while she Toured because she had difficulty coping with the Stress.

While its true Bobby Brown had issues with certain Substances, he did NOT introduce Whitney Houston to Drugs!

Clive Davis was NOT the Only person who benefits from Whitney's Death.

He has Partners in Crime.

In addition the Los Angeles Police Dept & Coroner are all Corrupt and being paid off by Entertainment Industry Insiders.

Did Whitney take her own life? NO!

Did Whitney die from an Accidental Overdose? NO!

I can't prove it but did Whitney have some help leaving this Earth? YES!

Did Whitney know her Killer? YES!
It was someone she REALLY Trusted!

Did Michael Jackson take his own life? NO!

Did Michael Jackson die from an Accidental Overdose? NO!

Did Michael Jackson have some help leaving this Earth? YES!

Was Michael Jackson's estate worth Billions after his Death? YES!

Michael OWN the Publishing Rights to his Music.

Was Conrad Murray the Only person involved? NO!

Conrad Murray was just a Tool & the Fall Guy because he was Greedy.

Did Don Cornelius take his OWN life? NO!

Did Don Cornelius have help leaving this Earth? YES!

Was Don Cornelius' estate worth more after his Death? YES!
Don Cornelius OWNED All Rights To Soul Train.

Will the Los Angeles County Police dept & Coroner REALLY do anything to Investigate Whitney's Death or Don Cornelius' Death?

NO!

They have been paid off.

Welcome to the Corrupt, Dangerous, Mafia Entertainment & Music Industry!

Dear Heavenly Father,
I Plead the Blood of Jesus Over Cissy Houston's Life, Bobbi Kristina's Life, Bobby Brown's Life & My Life in Jesus Name.






Killing Whitney Elizabeth Houston was a Major Mistake!
Whitney is with Jesus but...

The Devil's Control on the Entertainment/ Music Industry has been Completely Exposed!
What Satan meant for Evil, God will use to Expose his Evil.

And choosing to proceed with that Pre-grammy Party in the SAME hotel Whitney died in, while her body lay upstairs wrapped in Sheets, REALLY exposed what's Going On!

The Devil & Greed over Money often makes People do Stupid Things!

Prior to Whitney's Death everyone including myself, always speculated whenever we heard about Entertainers & Singers Dying like Flies!

The Los Angeles Coroner, LAPD & Mainstream Media would always report their Deaths as Prescription Drug-Related or as Suicides.

However these Latest Deaths, especially Whitney's, has exposed what is REALLY going on!

Whitney Houston,
Don Cornelius,
Etta James (reported as from other "Complications" & as "Health Related")
Michael Jackson,
Amy Winehouse,
Brittany Murphy,
Heath Ledger,
etc.,

Those responsible or those involved in these deaths became Greedy and let their guards down.

Now EVERYONE knows what's going on even if we can't prove it.

People are NOT Stupid!

Killing Whitney Elizabeth Houston was a Major Mistake!

Whitney is with Jesus but...
The Devil's Control on the Entertainment/ Music Industry has been Completely Exposed!
Dear Heavenly Father I Plead the Blood of Jesus Over Cissy Houston's Life, Bobbi Kristina's Life, Bobby Brown's Life & My Life in Jesus Name.
Galatians 6:7 - "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
