A massive manhunt ensued as heavily armed deputies in military attire set up a perimeter and locked down the area. For days the police state ran rampant as officers looked for the shooter. But they would never find him—because the entire story that led to the militarized lock down of the town, was a lie.

AFRICANGLOBE - It’s easy for so-called analysts and pundits on mainstream corporate media to tell us that Trump is a racist. He tells us this every day. They may as well be discussing whether water is wet. Calling Trump racist is not journalism, nor is it news. The challenge is to avoid the contrived distractions and deal with the real issues and solutions.
