I always thought we lived in a democracy, not a theocracy . . . apparently in Pennsylvania, some Republicans can’t tell the difference.

“State Rep. Brian Sims (D-Philadelphia) took to the House floor on Thursday to discuss the high court’s landmark ruling, which found the federal law barring the government from recognizing same-sex marriages legalized by states to be unconstitutional. However, as WHYY News and Philly.com report, Sims’ remarks were blocked by several state lawmakers using a procedural maneuver.

“One of those lawmakers, conservative state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler), told WHYY that he believed Sims’ comments would be a violation of ‘God’s law.’

“‘I did not believe that as a member of that body that I should allow someone to make comments such as he was preparing to make that ultimately were just open rebellion against what the word of God has said, what God has said, and just open rebellion against God’s law,’ Metcalfe said.”

Interesting read: Positive and Negative Liberty

I was contemplating the underlying philosophy of so-called “Libertarianism” remembering that its ‘father’ abandoned the idea ( The Liberty Scam ), when I was reminded of an interview on the Australian Radio National program “Late Night Live” that was part of their ‘1000 Years in a Day’ marathon on 31 December 1999 (but which I just heard on a CD last month). The interviewee, an American academic, discussed the ideas of ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ liberty. I couldn’t remember hearing the terms before, so I looked it up. The above linked article explains it quite well, I think.

The question that I am pursuing is: in what way can Rand Paul or his supporters call themselves ‘libertarians’. What is their definition of ‘liberty’? I think most Libertarians would identify with ‘negative’ liberty, that is, an absence of obstacles, barriers, constraints or interference from others; as opposed to ‘positive’ liberty, that is, the presence of self-control, self-mastery, self-determination or self-realization.

So, if Libertarians are adherents of ‘negative liberty’ then how do they justify Paul’s stance on abortion or drugs? It is certainly putting up obstacles, barriers, constraints or interference from others in the way of personal will to do as one desires.

Rand’s father Ron seems to have view pretty consistent with that standard picture of a Libertarian, where the State should just get out of the way of personal desire. On the other hand, Rand calls himself a ‘Libertarian Republican’ and seems to have views that put him solidly within the ‘positive’ liberty world view where the State tries to control what personal desires should be.

Rand’s back down on his ‘fetal person-hood’ bill is an attempt to retrieve some of his libertarian mojo, and Rand is just another cynical conservative politician, hoping to take advantage of his daddy’s constituency. How can you go from ‘100% Pro-life’ one day to ‘thousands of exceptions’ the next day?

Even if the ‘thousands of exceptions’ mean that women can effectively choose to have an abortion (thus seemingly satisfying the negative liberty ethos), if there aren’t any medical practitioners that are allowed, qualified, or willing to provide the operations, how can women take advantage of their liberty?

The circular arguments just keep spinning and spinning when you examine Libertarianism in any detail what-so-ever. There is no place to stop. The only way to be a consistent Libertarian is to be an Anarchist, but to be an Anarchist automatically means you agree to be oppressed by some other anarchist that is bigger than you, and thus give up your so-called liberty.

On the abortion debate, George Carlin said just about everything that needs to be said way back in 1999: If you’re pre-born you’re fine; if you’re pre-school you’re f*cked… “People say life begins at conception? I say life began about a billions years ago and its a continuous process. Continuous, just keeps rolling along, rolling, rolling, rolling along”.

I was looking for information on an unrelated topic and came across some predictions Doc made back in Dec. 2010.

“OK, I’m going WAY OUT ON A LIMB this year with my predictions for 2011.

1. A copy of Barack Obama’s original Birth Certificate will be released to the public

2. The Birth Certificate will show the President was born at the Kapi’olani Maternity and Gynecological hospital.

3. Documents will be released by the US State Department that prove Stanley Ann Obama did not have a US Passport in 1961.

4. Dr. Terry Lakin will disown birtherism.

5. Orly Taitz DDS, Esq will be disbarred by California.

6. NEW! Barack Obama will be president this time next year.

7. NEW, NEW! Orly Taitz will run for President.”

Not bad, but how depressing that after 2 1/2 years, #5. has not come true.

The Guardian Deletes NSA ‘Scoop’ That Quoted Conspiracy Theorist

The Guardian’s website on Saturday published and then subsequently took down an article on government surveillance titled “Revealed: secret European deals to hand over private data to America.”

According to Business Insider, the article relied on information from Wayne Madsen, a former NSA employee. Madsen is also a CONSPIRACY THEORIST. He believes that President Obama is secretly a homosexual, and that the Boston bombing suspects were government agents.

Here’s a snippet from the now-deleted article, which Business Insider saved:

Madsen said the countries had “formal second and third party status” under signal intelligence (sigint) agreements that compels them to hand over data, including mobile phone and internet information to the NSA if requested.

The article, by Jamie Doward, was originally written for The Observer, a Sunday newspaper owned by The Guardian.

If Orly began today, starting from LESS than no knowledge of Law, where she is now, and studiously acquired a law degree by actually learning what lawyers are minimally supposed to know, I think even she, would be mortified to look back and see how certainly her actions against Obama have revealed to real lawyers, that she knows almost nothing about the standard operations of the legal profession, or about how to fairly and accurately parse the English language.

She’s like someone who has memorized a few commands from a programming language trying to make impressive technical small talk at a programmers’ convention.

Ayn Rand is one of America’s great mysteries. She was an amphetamine-addicted author of sub-Dan Brown potboilers, who in her spare time wrote torrents of praise for serial killers and the Bernie Madoff-style embezzlers of her day. She opposed democracy on the grounds that “the masses” – her readers – were “lice” and “parasites” who scarcely deserved to live.

Rand’s father Ron seems to have view pretty consistent with that standard picture of a Libertarian, where the State should just get out of the way of personal desire. On the other hand, Rand calls himself a ‘Libertarian Republican’ and seems to have views that put him solidly within the ‘positive’ liberty world view where the State tries to control what personal desires should be.

First of all, no. Ron Paul doesn’t have a pretty consistent Libertarian view. Ron Paul is vehemently pro-life. A consistent Libertarian view would be to hold whatever view you have and apply it to your life personally. Don’t like abortions? Don’t have one. Don’t want someone else to have an abortion? Try to talk them out of it. Federal legislation wouldn’t be part of the scheme.

Additionally, Ron Paul was always happy to take federal money for his district.

As for the rest of your post, Rand Paul is trying to do what every politician with higher aspirations does – he’s trying to say the things that built the largest coalition of potential voters possible without angering other voters.

They all do this, as far as I can tell.

Well, he caught wind that Zullo is just some used car salesman who likes to pretend he’s in law enforcement, and now Kessler wants nothing to do with the CCP.

Which is kind of funny, since “Chief” Kessler is the only member of his “Chiefdom”, ie the only police officer, in a town of 796 people.

Don’t you actually have to have other police officers to be Chief of, to reasonably be a police Chief?

Kessler sure hates him some Mike Zullo:

“I mean, it’s just enough to make your blood boil when [Zullo] drags law enforcement officers into a room and pretends to be a cop. Pretends to be a deputy sheriff, or whatever, with powers to arrest– the whole nine years. This reporter who contacted me– I told her right out–if Mike Zullo shows up in Pennsylvania, and I’ll pay for his plane ticket, I will throw his ass in county, I will lock him up for impersonating a police officer.”

The media would take Kesslers word over Mike Zullo when it came to stating the facts of Zullo’s background. This is what we don’t need. Kessler should back down.

Yeah, the last thing the birther cause needs is more of those pesky “fact” thingies getting out. I dare say that those are down right damaging their cause beyond repair! 😉

US Citizen says:

July 2, 2013 at 9:38 pm US Citizen(Quote)

Open thread, so thought I’d share something:

My wife got fired today from her job.
She was originally hired 6 mos ago just as a receptionist with light parts buying duties, but over the months they’d piled more and more duties and responsibilities upon her.
Soon, she was responsible for and as:

Parts compliance officer (ROHS, ANSI, ISO, etc)
Shipper
Accounting (receivables, payables, etc)
Parts preparation and light assembly (PCB soldering, harnessing, etc.)
Database creation and light HTML programming, etc.

Oh, but let me add….. all of this for $10/hr!
This hourly wage was what they agreed on initially for just being a receptionist.

California has hamburger chains that pay more than
this for flipping burgers.
In n’ Out burger can pay more than $12/hr.

Now California is mostly a blue state, but we ourselves live in a fairly red area.
A casual conversation with someone at, say, the post office would generally start out with a problem expressed and invariably end with “it’s all Obama’s fault.
That’s the standard for this particular area.

Well, this week at my wife’s company, they were discussing DOMA.
Most of the employees were doing their standard “it’s all Obama’s fault” dance.
Some were even saying that “Obama is a child murderer” as a response to the SCOTUS ruling regarding same-sex marriage.
(you figure that one out… we can’t.)

The next day their lunch room was again filled with more RWNJ talk.
They were talking about racist issues, how raped women often brought such attacks on themselves, etc.

But my wife (a Latina rape survivor) expressed her view that sometimes rape victims die in childbirth, can contract diseases and that children born out of rape can often experience a lifetime of problems such as trust issues, living in foster homes when young and the like.

Well today, they fired her and with no warning.
The reasons they gave was that she was incompetent and made too many mistakes.
However just last week they had a performance review where they praised her for the same work.

Since the laws states that someone can’t be fired for what religion they practice, their race, sex, etc, they had to choose something else and these were their substitute reasons.

So, nothing here about birthers per se, but perhaps yet another good example of how some RW’s would rather shoot themselves in the foot than be wrong.

So the Egyptian military has ousted Mohamed Morsi in a coup, and I was wondering how much time would elapase before birthers would be calling for the same thing to happen here. It didn’t take long. At ORYR we find this hysterical lamentation, complete with CAPITAL LETTERS and EXCLAMATION MARKS!

“The people of Egypt realized they had been deceived and lied to by their President, 25 MILLION of them went to the Capital this week and stood protest to drive this lying Obama-Installed dictator OUT. Yet here in America we can’t get 20 people together in DC to protest ANYTHING anymore because people are afraid the IRS or the NSA or some other Obama controlled watchdog might be keeping track of who does what, that my friends is how Dictatorships are created, FEAR AND DIVISION. We should learn a thing or two from Egypt, at least they have the balls to stand up for their country, which is allot more than we can say about American’s anymore.

“But if you think about it, to have 20 million people shutting down Washington DC, the most politically CORRUPT city in America, would be a startling wake up call for our Government and I believe the ONLY way we will straighten this mess out. It’s OUR Duty to utilize our freedoms to keep our Government in check

So the Egyptian military has ousted Mohamed Morsi in a coup, and I was wondering how much time would elapase before birthers would be calling for the same thing to happen here. It didn’t take long. At ORYR we find this hysterical lamentation, complete with CAPITAL LETTERS and EXCLAMATION MARKS!

“The people of Egypt realized they had been deceived and lied to by their President, 25 MILLION of them went to the Capital this week and stood protest to drive this lying Obama-Installed dictator OUT. Yet here in America we can’t get 20 people together in DC to protest ANYTHING anymore because people are afraid the IRS or the NSA or some other Obama controlled watchdog might be keeping track of who does what, that my friends is how Dictatorships are created, FEAR AND DIVISION. We should learn a thing or two from Egypt, at least they have the balls to stand up for their country, which is allot more than we can say about American’s anymore.

“But if you think about it, to have 20 million people shutting down Washington DC, the most politically CORRUPT city in America, would be a startling wake up call for our Government and I believe the ONLY way we will straighten this mess out. It’s OUR Duty to utilize our freedoms to keep our Government in check

How do Birthers even know whether they should boo or cheer?

On one hand, a democratically elected government has been taken down. Birthers are always extolling the virtues of “We the People.” Birther: “BOOOO!!”

On the other hand, they think Morsi is an evil dictator (election schmelection!). My guess is they think ACORN EGYPT must’ve helped Morsi steal the election or something; plus, he’s Muslim. Birther: “HURRAH!!”

On one hand, a Constitution based on religious principles was nullified by secularists. Birthers are all about infusing their government with religion. Birther: “BOOOO!!”

On the other hand, that religion is Islam. Suddenly those secularists are looking pretty good. HURRAH!!

On one hand, the removal of Morsi is a shining example of what can happen when a movement has charismatic, intelligent activists like Mahmoud Badr, leading millions to oust a failed leader. HURRAH!!

On the other hand, the Birthers have Orly Taitz, Sheriff Joe, and Donald Trump. Say it with me: BOOOO!!

Crustacean,

Good point, but as we both know from reading comments at ORYR, birthers change their loyalties rapidly and are able to embrace contradictory beliefs. They can boo out of one side of their mouths, and cheer out of the other.

For example, in the recent dust up between Zullo and Kessler, I saw commenters go from celebrating Kessler as the second coming of birtherism, to condemning him as a loud mouth clown. Likewise, birthers are capable of claiming Obama is a homosexual Marxist intent on turning America into a communist dictatorship, and at the same time, claiming that he’s a radical Islamist trying to institute Sharia law. They remind me of Nazi propagandists who argued that Jews were simultaneously responsible for Democracy, Communism, V.D., Jazz, and every other thing they feared or hated.

This kind of thinking only works if you are a devotee of George Orwell’s “Doublethink,” which Birthers — and a great many radicals — are.

Neo-Nazi nutters pop up on Southern Poverty Law Center’s blog “Hatewatch,” and spout similar nonsense…we smack them down with the simple expedient of the truth, and the demand that they provide evidence for their idiotic claims.

Occasionally, they actually do bring in a source, and it is invariably, even greater rubbish.

Harvard psychologist Raphael Ezekiel interviewed neo-Nazi Tom Metzger, and Metzger claimed that Communism and Capitalism work together behind the scenes, and that the capitalists get their ideas from far-left wing publications.

“Sure,” retorted Ezekiel. “The board of directors of General Motors gets its ideas from the Socialist Workers Party.”

Metzger had a little trouble responding to that.

Mike Zullo recruited me by invitation over 3,500 existing Posse members and I was sworn into the CCP on April 17, 2012 by Sheriff Arpaio.

@Dave B,

I am stunned. At the end of this man’s very lengthy, detailed letter, he says this:

“President Obama could have saved us all a lot of time, aggravation, acrimony and division if he would have only had the common courtesy to put the paper hard copy of his Hawaiian long form birth certificate on display. It seems obvious to many that he has an agenda that is not in any way related to transparency or the best interests of the country. America deserves to know the truth about the alleged Obama birth certificate. Hopefully, the truth will come from a Congressional investigation or a filed criminal complaint and not from another book published by the CCP. America remains in perilous straits. God help us!”

Uh, does he really not know about Obama’s press conference when he released the LFBC? Does he know about the Savannah Guthrie pic? Or the WND reporter who was there (name escapes me) who said he was satisfied with it?

Or does he refuse to believe any of it?

This brings to mind several questions such as what are they supplying Zullo? Is Zullo’s car dealership supplying the cars and what is the MCSO paying him for them?

The part that follows in Reilly’s letter is also interesting:

… I was twice asked by Zullo, over a 10 day period, to reconsider my resignation. During my stint with the Posse, high levels of stress landed me in the hospital. I was also uncomfortable with the potential liability issues that I could see as a CCP volunteer. But among the most pressing concerns, a year ago, I couldn’t see the investigation being brought to any meaningful conclusion. One year later, I still see no meaningful end in sight to the CCP investigation. The extended investigation may have stimulated contributions to Sheriff Arpaio’s re-election campaign, and it most certainly resulted in contributions to the CCP’s financial coffers.

I agree. Brian Reilly began commenting at ORYR a couple of months ago. At first, he was treated with reverence, since he claimed to be the person who started the process which led to Arpaio getting the CCP into the Obama birth certificate issue. However, Reilly began to criticize Mike Zullo in his comments and he began to earn the wrath of Zullo supporters. He now appears to be persona non grata–at least as far as the more bullying posters are concerned.

Refreshing to see how the conspiracy nuts’ absolutism (“anyone who ever disagrees with anything is a traitor to the cause”) comes to bite them in the rear end.
Conspiracy theories are cults, and any disagreement inevitably leads to schisms (Zulloism vs. Orlyism and potentially more in the future as the movement disintegrates).
I was expecting the same when Vattelists and Kenyanites clashed over which is the most promising approach to “prove” ineligibility, but the common hope of ousting Obama at the 2012 elections prevented a true schism; now that this glue is gone, anything goes.

So much for the county not spending money on the “volunteer” investigation.

I find the word “participate” interesting…..not to be too conspiratorial…..and wonder if it means paid deputies were involved or just other posse members or folks like Corsi, Zebest, etc.?

It will also be interesting to find out if the car was a full time car or he just had the authority to check one out of the pool. Full time cars are usually limited to folks who can be called out at all hours…..like homicide investigators.

It will also be interesting to find out how he traveled to those eight states and how that was paid for.

Yes…it would be interesting to see what the county is supplying Zullo. I bet he has a car….but that’s just a guess.

As far as the cars are concerned:

I don’t believe Zullo owns a dealership. That was his father….many years ago. He had some sort of operation that sold used cars for owners….as I recall.

In any case police cars are bought on bids and usually directly from the manufacturer and often they are on a state contract which allows local cities or counties to buy on the state contract.

Venezuela ‘Birther’ Movement Questions President’s Eligibility

Maduro, 50, was born in the Colombian city of Cucuta to Colombian parents, opposition lawmaker Abelardo Diaz alleged at an event in Caracas today, brandishing copies of what he said were the identity documents of the president’s parents. The opposition will now ask Colombia’s Supreme Court whether this makes Maduro a Colombian citizen. If so, he would fall foul of the constitution, which states the president must be “Venezuelan by birth” and not have other nationalities.

“We haven’t seen a single document showing Maduro’s birthplace,” said Diaz. “We are asking the acting president to tell Venezuelan people the truth.”

A ruling by Colombia’s Supreme Court that Maduro is Colombian would make Maduro ineligible for the presidency.

“This would make it irrelevant whether Maduro was born in Venezuela, Colombia, or anywhere else,” said Diaz. “Under our constitution, president can’t have dual nationality.” – Bloomberg News.

This is from memory since I haven’t spent much time looking into the details for a while but…………..his father, who owned the car dealerships, died a few years ago and our Zullo was a major beneficiary of the father’s will.

I believe he is now living in his father’s home in north Scottsdale and, one presumes, living off his inheritance.

As I recall the several businesses he….Zullo the Younger…..started/owned/operated have been dormant for a number of years. Several hadn’t filed any reports with the Corporation Commission for quite a while.

I seem to recall him here too. Maybe it was someone else, but I do remember a conversation where my take was that Arpaio was using the Posse as a sop to keep his constituent loonies on board for the upcoming election, and as a publicity vehicle for money raising from loonies everywhere.

His reaction to my comments, which were quite dismissive of the Surprise Tea Party ‘loonies’ and cynical about Arpaio’s involvement was a simple ‘maybe you don’t know all that’s going on and I have inside knowledge’. He was not overly defensive as I would have expected from a ‘true believer’, and maybe, just maybe, was giving a hint that I wasn’t too far off his conclusions as an insider.

[Oops, I’m the dummy, I confused Venezuela with Columbia… it’s early…]

And the Columbian birthers are wrong like the US birthers.

The Columbian Constitition (http://confinder.richmond.edu/admin/docs/colombia_const2.pdf) says about the President’s citizenship:

“Article 191. In order to be President of the Republic, an individual must be Colombian by birth, a citizen in good standing, and over 30 years of age.

Article 197. […] Nor can the individual who may be subject to any of the reasons of disqualification listed in paragraphs Nos. 1, 4, and 7 of Article 179 be elected President of the Republic […]

Article 179. The following are not qualified to be congressmen: […] 7. Those who hold dual citizenship, excepting Colombians by birth”

So if the President is born a citizen, he is eligible even if he holds/held dual citizenship.

It seems birthers are the same crap everywhere…

Though this invites speculation if it meant “no dual citizen at birth” or “no dual citizen when taking office”.

The very firm the president is using to defend him on the birth certificate case has used Mr. Hayes in their cases.” In addition, Mr. Hayes is a Democrat whose business is based in Hawaii.

not only is “democrat party” typically used as a derogatory epithet but it’s grammatically incorrect

democratic is an adjective:

1. Of, characterized by, or advocating democracy: democratic government; a democratic union.
2. Of or for the people in general; popular: a democratic movement; democratic art forms.

Royce C. LAMBERTH, Chief Judge for the District of Columbia will hear the second case on FOIA. This case is agaisnt thePostmaster General and Inspector General for the USPS. This case shows tht a year ago Attorney Orly Taitz provided them with the information, a sworn affidavit of the Chief investigator of the Special Investigations unit of the U.S. coast Guard, showing that Obama’s Selective Service certificate is a forgery and it contains a fabricated postal stamp. For a year they covered it up and did not take any action/”

Another Orly Taitz lie which was swallowed hook, line and sinker by you.

Jeffery Stephen Coffman never was THE chief investigator of the Special Investigations Unit of the U.S. Coast Guard, as Orly claims. “Chief” was his rank, not his title. He was a Chief Petty Officer (an enlisted man, not a commissioned officer) in the Coast Guard Reserve.

As a former Navy petty officer, I have no idea how Coffman’s experience in the Coast Guard Reserve would have given him any special insight into postmarks.

Ms. D made the claim that the ‘democratic party of Alabama’ had filed a brief- it seems to me Donna was pointing out another- and typical Birther error- claiming something that doesn’t exist.

I assume Donna is correct, and whatever else is true- the ‘democratic party of Alabama’ doesn’t appear to be a real entity- though perhap the Alabama Democratic Party did file a brief.

Birthers tend to play so free and lose with the facts, that often such a mistake points to the whole claim being fraudulant though I don’t know whether that is case.

Well in point of fact it seems pretty much identical to the Iranian model of the “Assembly of Experts” and “Guardian Council” who get to pick and vet runners and riders and remove any they don’t approve off, irrespective of the will of the people.

Of course, since over 200 court cases with over 400 judges have ruled that the President is good to go and 3 separate and independent Republican SoS’s have all received verifications and accepted them as good to go, then the form of your asinine demand has been overly met.

Since your demands have been met in a Constitutional manner, I fully expect you to now accept this and move on to the next goal post

Birther To Be ‘Honored Guest’ at Nevada GOP Event

Some top Nevada Republicans will be appearing at a GOP PAC gala in Las Vegas alongside “honored guest” Wayne Allyn Root, a 2008 vice presidential candidate for the Libertarian party and a vocal birther theorist, according to Ralston Reports. The keynote speaker for the event will be House Majority Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Root is one of three honored guests listed on the invitation. Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV) and Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) are the others.

Root graduated Columbia University the same year as Obama and said he thought it was strange that he hadn’t even heard of the future president, prompting him to publicly declare that Obama was likely a foreign exchange student and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney should call for his college records to be released.

Indeed, as recently as last month, Root declared “nobody ever met” Obama at Columbia and referred to him as “a Manchurian candidate.” The piece is full of nasty insinuations and innuendo.

In a follow-up piece, Root repeated his theory, first expressed to Sean Hannity, that Obama was a foreign-exchange student at Columbia and echoes Trumpian claims about the president’s college transcripts.

The Overpass Of Broken Dreams
by Squeeky Fromm, Girl Reporter

The Overpass of Broken Dreams-
The haunted landscape fairly teems
With ghostly remnants, silent now
Among the kudzu, and the bough.

The Day of Sadness started fine,
With Birthers waiting, full of sign.
Yellow flags with snakes a’coiling
Waved in summer sun a’boiling!

“It’s A Forgery!” on cardboard,
Carried by the starred and barred horde.
Large white banners with an “Impeach!”
Raised aloft, in plaintive outreach.

Down below the streaming traffic
Strained to read the message graphic.
Strained, and thusly fell distracted,
Then, the concrete piers impacted.

So, a chain of fatal shaking,
Set the parapets to breaking,
Snapp’ed the threaded iron bars,
And launched the Birthers into cars.

Whilst others fell ‘neath semi-rigs
And livestock trailers full of pigs.
Others struck, as seems most fitting,
While in lawn chairs still were sitting.

By evidential weight compelled,
The Bridge Inspectors’ findings held,
The fault was Birthers’ all alone.
The least of them weighed 20 stone.

The Overpass of Broken Dreams
Lies silent now of Birther screams.
The heavy weight of Birther foot
Made engineering standards moot.

“Kevin,

“You had told me you just worked for the South Carolina department of Health. I guess your job was just scanning certificates. You called me a liar after my first report on the birth certificate. This was a big mistake on your part. It looks like you had lied to all of us by not honestly telling your audience that you were paid by the administration, most likely through Jim Johnson, to defend Obama no matter what falsehood the Obots would resort to. Well Kevin, over a year and a half has passed and Paul Irey and myself have found over 22 points of forgery on Obama’s COLB. We did not use the PDF copy even thought that alone proved evidence of electronic manipulation. We used the reporters copy from one of the networks that was at the April 27, 2011 news conference. At 300 dpi it showed us all we needed to know. By the way the white halo is caused by unsharp mask and finally Mara Z. agreed with us. The white halo appeared both on the reporters copy and Savanna Guthrie’s copy so it was not part of any PDF manipulation. Remember the Governor states that Fuddy witnessed the “copying of the original certificate” onto the security paper from a copier. Paul and I re-typeset the COLB and replicated what they said and can prove the whole story is one big lie.
I have a little message for you. One I have already told John Woodman and RC. I believe you were paid for your services from the Obama handlers and that makes you an accessory after the fact in a treason case. You helped let a foreign communist agent to become president of the US for the purpose of destroying the country. I don’t want you to take my word for it Kevin, just read the Federal Statutes below:

Title 18, Chapter 1 General Provisions; Section. 3. Accessory after the fact, Statute:
Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact. Except as otherwise expressly provided by any Act of Congress, an accessory after the fact shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal, or both; or if the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory shall be imprisoned not more than 15 years.

What makes it Treason is this:
Title 18, Chapter 115; TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
Sec. 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government look it up yourself and read it.

And my all time favorite:
Title 18, Chapter 228, DEATH SENTENCE
Sec. 3592. Mitigating and aggravating factors to be considered in determining whether a sentence of death is justified
(a) Mitigating Factors. – In determining whether a sentence of death is to be imposed on a defendant, the finder of fact shall consider any mitigating factor, including the following:
(b) Aggravating Factors for Espionage and Treason. – In determining whether a sentence of death is justified for an offense described in section 3591(a)(1), the jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall consider each of the following aggravating factors for which notice has been given and determine which, if any, exist:
(2) Grave risk to national security. – In the commission of the offense the defendant knowingly created a grave risk of substantial danger to the national security. [Emphasis added]
(3) Grave risk of death. – In the commission of the offense the defendant knowingly created a grave risk of death to another person. [Emphasis added]

There is nothing worst than helping a foreign agent to become President. Because of your actions you may be looking at 15 years in prison. This will give you something to think about.

My only question for you is: Why did you want an known socialist/communist to become president? Are you a socialist yourself?

I told Orly, although she didn’t report it in her article, that I’m not paid for my blogging activities, and have no direction from anybody else.

Dear Kevin,

Regarding payment, we know that Fogbow [his pen name] got paid for his efforts because he admitted to it. The Obots stayed on various blogs for 8 hours at a stretch-day in and day out. I am also an accountant and I can tell you that no one works at this for 2-4 years and not get paid somehow. It just doesn’t happen.
But let’s say you didn’t get paid from the administration, then the burning question is WHY did you do it? Was it loyalty to the democratic party of old? Was it Ideological only—the burning desires to transform the country into a socialist hell? Why did you work on this since December 2008 till now? You had set up your web site just after the November election and it is obvious to anyone with an IQ over 85 that it was to for the purpose of putting down and criticism of and challenges of Obama’s short form birth certificate. Your actions demonstrate that there was long term planning involved in this effort. That also means that the administration knew they had a forged document and they had to stop all criticism before it got out of hand. In my opinion the evidence is that you are involved up to your eyeballs.
The other question that you never answered is: What is your expertise in this field?
All I want from you is some very simple answers—why did you do it?

Regarding scanning of COLBs and the 2004 law, electronic imaging systems is what the law is referring to by electronic document systems. We know that most state had already implemented them including Hawaii because we got Virginia Sunahara’s death certificate and it was the result of a scanned image from the microfilm. I am in the process of reading ALL the states laws and administrative code on Vital Statistics and birth certificates. I have already finished 35 states and many of them specifically mention that a registrar can give a scanned image from there electronic document imaging system. Many state now have electronic filing systems that includes the process of scanning the COLB into it as an attached file. When you are prepared to read all the states laws and regulations, only then can you tell me that they don’t do it. Of course after you read them you would already know it is done all over the country.

jtmunkus: the handwriting specialist’s ridiculous conclusions about a document he’s never seen

My theory stands that the report says nothing of the sort – otherwise there’s no reason Zullo hasn’t released it yet.

I think the following scenarios are likely:

1. The report says at best that a forgery cannot be ruled out until the original (not the PDF) has been examined (the boilerplate stuff that every forensic expert will tell you).

2. The report was commissioned under the prerequisite that other “experts”‘ conclusions (such as the “reports” of Zebest and Irey) are taken to be correct, therefore it is more like “if what those other reports say is really true, then it is really a forgery”.

3. The report draws its conclusion from other false prerequisites provided by Zullo. For example, if somebody gave him a wrong SAD signature as comparison, he might conclude that “the SAD signature on the LFBC is from a different person, therefore forgery”.

4. The report doesn’t even remotely support the forgery claims.

Has anyone contacted the guy and asked him if he really wrote what Zullo claims he wrote?

Then you are wasting your time since no one has claimed that Hawaii gave Obama the PDF file.

Obama’s staff then scanned the document and posted it online as a PDF. The Hawaii DOH has confirmed that the content matches what they gave Obama.

Now I don’t know about Foggy, but I DO know that Arpaio and Zullo are working for the President. Notice how Arpaio’s cases from the DOJ just disappeared? Notice how Arpaio quickly removed himself once that happened? Notice how many charges Zullo and Arpaio have filed against the President?

We did not use the PDF copy even thought that alone proved evidence of electronic manipulation. We used the reporters copy from one of the networks that was at the April 27, 2011 news conference. At 300 dpi it showed us all we needed to know. I looked at the Vogt-Irey so-called points of forgery, and all they prove is the incompetence and lack of critical thinking by Mr. Vogt and Mr. Irey. They looked at fuzzy images and then imagined stuff, like seeing Santa Claus in the clouds. By the way the white halo is caused by unsharp mask and finally Mara Z. agreed with us. The White halo is caused by MRC compression. This is well-documented in the literature about MRC. It’s not “unsharp mask.” Zebest doesn’t know what she’s talking about. The white halo appeared both on the reporters copy and Savanna Guthrie’s copy so it was not part of any PDF manipulation. The same white halo is not on the Guthrie copy. It’s clearly different, different in size and intensity, appearing in different places and at different angles. The Guthrie photo just shows normal JPG artifacts. Remember the Governor ? states that Fuddy witnessed the “copying of the original certificate” onto the security paper from a copier. Paul and I re-typeset the COLB and replicated what they said and can prove the whole story is one big lie. Vogt and Irey replicated their incompetence and bias. Remember, Irey said that he know the form was a forgery BEFORE HE EVEN LOOKED AT IT. I have a little message for you. One I have already told John Woodman and RC. I believe you were paid for your services from the Obama handlers and that makes you an accessory after the fact in a treason case. I don’t give a rat’s ass what Vogt “believes.” Vogt is a crazy conspiracy theorist. Unless the lunatics get in charge of the asylum, I have nothing to be concerned about. You helped let a foreign communist agent to become president of the US for the purpose of destroying the country. Obama is neither foreign, nor a communist. I don’t want you to take my word for it Kevin, just read the Federal Statutes below: Title 18, Chapter 1 General Provisions; Section. 3. Accessory after the fact, Statute: [lengthy citation omitted] Are you a socialist yourself? One needs a crime to be an accessory, and there is no crime. No, I am not a socialist, I’m a Democrat. How about Vogt, is he delusional?

I told you that if you kept dumping off–topic comments on the articles, that I would put you in moderation. I keep an open thread for off-topic comments.

As with trash dumping on the roadside, one person dumps, and then others thing that’s the place to dump too. Eventually you have a trash dump. I’m not going to let that happen. In moderation, I review your comments before they appear. If they are in the wrong place, I will move them to the Open Thread. Moving your stuff before others see it prevents me from having to move lots of responses to you.

Also, this is not a place for you to republish articles from other people, like your preceding one from Doug Vogt. The comment feature is for discussion, not for self-publishing by the commenters. Dumps of other people’s stuff is probably a copyright violation anyway. Such stuff will be summarily deleted at my discretion.

Neo-Confederate Rand Paul Aide A Daily Caller Contributor, Fox Regular

“Southern Avenger” Jack Hunter Also Helped Write Heritage President Jim DeMint’s Book

(excerpt) The conservative Free Beacon reported today that [Jack] Hunter, a “close” Rand Paul aide who also co-wrote the Kentucky Republican’s 2011 book, “spent years working as a pro-secessionist radio pundit and neo-Confederate activist … Hunter was a chairman in the League of the South, which ‘advocates the secession and subsequent independence of the Southern States from this forced union and the formation of a Southern republic.'”

Free Beacon also quoted Hunter’s South Carolina radio commentary under the pseudonym “The Southern Avenger” in which he expressed adoration for Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, indignation that white Americans are treated to a “racial double standard,” and opposition to Spanish-speaking immigrants. Hunter reportedly “told the Free Beacon that he no longer holds many of these views,” including his pro-Lincoln assassin views, but “declined to say that he no longer supports secession.”

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/07/09/neo-confederate-rand-paul-aide-a-daily-caller-c/194784

And this from Jack Hunter in 2012 :

(excerpt) In 2009, the so-called Birther movement became an embarrassing distraction for the conservative movement. Many conservatives spoke out against the Birthers, who believe President Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya, forged his birth certificate, and is therefore ineligible to be president. I surely did. Still, many insisted on subscribing to it, though luckily their numbers seem fewer today than ever.

Notice the bottom of Nixon’s? Date issued May 19th 2009. So this was issued posthumously. But if I was a birther I would use the txe the argument and say that second 0 in 2009 looks like a 6 thus this BC was issued from the future in 2069

In case anyone actually cares, NBC and I were kicking around Hermie (’cause birther doldrums) and have determined where the weird “black rectangles” and hidden lines on the MDEC document 35-1 LFBC came from. When they combined scans of the letter to Fuddy with the LFBC they attached to the letter, they applied OCR in Acrobat 9. When Acrobat 9 tries to apply OCR to a clean version of the background image of the LFBC (this is the one where the text is actually on the background, not the WH version), it creates these rectangles and lines for some mysterious reason (it also sucks at picking out the text on this version of the LFBC).

Not guidelines for the forger, just typical Adobe bloat and incompetence.
