I’ve been really busy on a project, and just get bits of what’s going on. Falcon at Gerbil Report™ has been on the war path against Brian Reilly after an unusual absence of 6 days or so. Here’s the smoking steaming gun: [Note: the Birther Report website no longer exists and the Web Archive of it does not include the comments section.]
Falcon: I’ve decided to not wait. We have all waited long enough. And thank you to those that believed in me and waited this long.
Brian Reilly was under a previous or current criminal investigation. He failed to disclose that to Zullo who fired him.
Reilly never disclosed to anyone his current / previous history – that was discovered outside of his CCP involvement.
Now it’s up to Brian Reilly to come clean.
The comment is remarkable for its lack of specificity. What Reilly allegedly didn’t tell Zullo could only have come from Zullo, so we know what Falcon’s source. My guess is that Zullo didn’t tell Falcon anything specific, using Falcon as a tool (as he uses others) to do his smears for him. I’ve seen Reilly’s letter of resignation from the Cold Case Posse, so I don’t believe for a minute that Zullo fired him, abd I have no reason to believe the rest of it. Even if partially true, being investigated for something is not a crime or evidence of wrongdoing.
So I commented, defending Reilly, but rather than responding to my comment, Falcon chose to attack me:
Falcon: Typical reaction from a reactionary. Shouldn’t you spend your time investigating Obama instead of investigating posters? And that’s doubly true after your debacle with the Charles Kerchner / Charles Mountain fiasco.
And you totally blew yourself when digging around about me. Too bad you pussed out and refused to release your findings – and that’s because you didn’t want more scorn and ridicule from the few remaining posters at your site.
Now, why didn’t you even ask Reilly after I repeatedly told you that something was wrong and you were about to get burned again.
Face it – you’re a moron. Everyone knows it.
As readers here know, I did announce that I had figured out Falcon’s identity. So I offered Falcon a chance to prove me wrong. I said:
Dr. Conspiracy: If you give me permission, I will post your real Name, City, and Email address (the Verizon one) on my blog.
Falcon said a lot of things after that, but none of them included the necessary permission, but this is as good of any:
Falcon: Now all of a sudden you ask for permission? You don’t have any of my information – go back to your sewer.
In the meanwhile there have been a stream of Tweets from a guy named Charles C. Johnson that I had seen, now appearing at Birther Report. They show old Obama family photos that Johnson regards as fake, quite a few familiar ones, and a Christmas photo I had not seen before. Johnson runs a web site called “Got News” and appears to be Tweet-a-holic (over 47,000 of them). Claims of fake Obama family photos don’t generally get my juices flowing any more, but one of them is vaguely interesting because of the claim that goes along with it:
Seems like someone could answer that question about the photos. I’m going to watch Antiques Roadshow.
It was funny the he proclaimed you were wrong about his ID then when you called his bluff he immediately changed the subject.
You are correct his big smear of Brian Reilly that he has been touting for months turned out to be a joke with zero specifics. This is Falcon’s history though. He did the same thing at the Scared Monkeys forum. He claimed to have inside information on Natalee Holloway’s disappearance then never produced anything. I know you discourage amateur psychoanalysis here but I really think Falcon more that a few loose screws.
This may be where Johnson got his ideas.

Reilly’s letter of resignation from the Cold Case Posse, so I don’t believe for a minute that Zullo fired him, and if Zullo is lying about part of it, I have no reason to believe the rest of it. Even if partially true, being investigated for something is not a crime or evidence of wrongdoing.
That’s because Reilly resigned before Zullo fired him. People have that choice. You can be fired or you can resign. VIPs usually will resign while lower individuals usually get fired.
Wasn’t Larry Klayman being investigated for Child Abuse but nothing was ever proven except that Klayman was somehow bad to his kids but it wasn’t abuse, whatever the hell that means.
Zullo told Mark Gillar that after Reilly left, Zullo sent a number e-mails asking him to rejoin the Cold Case Posse.
Falcon:
Where he gets this nonsense I can’t fathom. He must lie awake at night inventing straw men he can knock down. Doc said he was joking about BR ratting out Dr. Deb. I certainly do not believe BR outed Falcon or Dr. Deb. However, no blog is “secure” in the sense that at minimum comments are public. Falcon has an enormous history of comments on Intense Debate from not only BR but several other blogs. It isn’t a stretch to believe that someone could connect the dots with a little detective work.
I wanted to comment on that exchange between Gillar and Zullo. Gillar actually brought up the emails and asked Zullo why he sent them to Reilly. Zullo said something to the effect that he was stringing Reilly along to keep him from turning against the CCP. At least that is what I recall.
Gillar has since used that little snippet to prove he asked Zullo tough questions. I now believe that it was entirely staged. I think Zullo knew full well that Brian Reilly possessed those emails so he and Gillar set up that little charade as a way to allow Zullo to blow them off as if he just wanted to keep Reilly on a short leash. The bonus is that it allowed Gillar to appear to be an unbiased reporter.
If you have listened to the many reach around interviews between Gallups and Zullo one inescapable conclusion is that they are carefully scripted to appear to say something very important without saying a damn thing.
Obama lost one leg prior his alleged trip to Hawaii. That’s a remarkable recovery, the Xmas pic was debunked at free republic years ago.
Airport pics are the same face Pic his initial arrival to Hawaii, the one with flowers. The length his hand is different other pic Junior is holding his arm.
All of this pales in comparison to Obama not meeting same standards as the holding in WKA.
The owner this site must know we have an illegal president He has time to redeem his credibility.
Chuck? Is that you?
“debunked at Free Republic” appears in the canonical definition of “oxymoron.”
The 12th Amendment states that whoever receives a majority of the votes of the Electors “SHALL BE THE PRESIDENT.”
Congress unanimously certified Barack Obama’s electors in 2009 and again in 2013. The Senate has confirmed every one of the President’s cabinet nominees and the Senate has confirmed 307 Obama appointed federal judges. Just last week the president’s nominee for new Secretary of Defense was confirmed 93 to 5. And over the last six years Congress has sent the president hundreds of bills to sign into law.
Barack Hussein Obama, II is the duly elected 44th President of the United States and there is nothing that the “ObligedFriends” of the world can do about it well in to the president’s 7th year in office.
Amazing that BOsr lost both legs in a car accident in 1982, 10 years after visiting Hawaii in 1971, isnt it, since he lost one before 1971 according to clueless.
But he did have several serious car accidents in the latter part of his life, one of which finally killed him soon after losing both legs.
“Death Summary: Barack Obama, Sr. lost both legs in a car wreck, which also led to him losing his job. He died soon after at the age of 46 in another car crash in Nairobi. ”

Whoa. There’s some real Papit-grade thinkin’ going on there.
I decided to pick just one claim out of the welter of forensic brilliance: the one where they marvel that in one photo the top of one of the Christmas trees is, “for no apparent reason”, missing.
And yes… if you look at the photo with Ann Dunham in it, there is a Christmas tree above her left shoulder, which you can see the top of.
In the photo with the two Baracks, the same tree is there, but hully gee where’s the top of the tree??????
This is followed by much arm waving about “parallax”, and the photos being taken from the same spot, and deformities, and bleearggh excuse us while we vomit conspiracy all over your nicely polished wingtips.
…except: if you look at the “two Baracks” picture, it’s very obviously not taken from the same place. You can see the entire ticket counter, so the photographer must be standing farther to the left than whoever took the “Ann” picture was.
You can also see in the “Ann” picture (especially if you tweak the contrast) that there is some sort of black rectangle hanging to the left of the Christmas tree in question, apparently hanging from the ceiling. It’s also obviously somewhere in front of the tree, as you can see its edge is cutting off a couple of the tree’s lights.
So, if you move the camera to the left, the black rectangle now blocks the rest of the top of the tree. Parallax, beeyotches.
There’s much other stupidity they claim, all actually quite un-mysterious, such as Ann’s “deformed shoulders” being just the way they are covered by her hair. And so it goes.
Minor correction: the black rectangle
may not beis probably not hanging from the ceiling. It could be held up by a pole much like the one you see in the left foreground of the “two Baracks” picture.In the “Ann” pic, there’s a barely visible thin line on our left side of the tree; in the “two Baracks” pic, there’s a much clearer pole-like object on our right side of the tree. In each picture, the putative pole lines up with our right side of the rectangle.
Do you recall a source for this I could cite?
I remember zullo admitting on air that he sent emails begging Reilly not to quit.
I think it was around the November timeframe when the 10k “donation” to zullo was made public.
GIllar, Gallups?
ObligedFriend stated,
“Obama lost one leg prior his alleged trip to Hawaii. That’s a remarkable recovery, the Xmas pic was debunked at free republic years ago.”
So, Obama Sr. had three legs? The one he apparently lost prior to 1971, according to you and no other source that I can find, and then lost a subsequent two legs in a car crash later.
Seriously, OF, if you can’t even get the simplest details right, that are easily looked up and verified by multiple sources, then how can anyone trust a birther on more difficult subject matters like birth records, photo analysis, and interpretations of law?
Mark Gillar, gallups would never let zullo make an admission like that on air.
Back in October when Zullo was on a podcast with Gillar he said he sent emails to Brian Reilly asking him to stay on the CCP. He claimed it was because Reilly had been making trouble and he he knew what Reilly would say if he left. Start at around 37:00

It doesn’t make any sense because Reilly could say what he wanted to at any time or he could just quit himself which is what he eventually did.
“Obama lost one leg prior his alleged trip to Hawaii. That’s a remarkable recovery, the Xmas pic was debunked at free republic years ago.”
No, he didn’t lose a leg. He was in an accident and hurt his leg, he did lose his legs in an accident but that was later after his return to Kenya.
From the President’s book, Dreams from My Father about the 1971 visit,
“He [his father] had been in a bad car accident, and this trip was part of his recuperation after a long stay in the hospital.”
and
“[H]is [Obama Sr.] feet wore over the floor in off-beats, his bad leg stiff but his rump high”
BTW, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 1898 disagreed with your understanding of Justice Gray’s opinion in WKA.
Has the Quote function stopped working for anyone else?
“It doesn’t make any sense because Reilly could say what he wanted to at any time or he could just quit himself which is what he eventually did.”
Not necessarily RC. Yes, Reilly could have resigned and then say what he wanted afterwards, which what Reilly did. However, as long Reilly was part of the CCP, he couldn’t talk which why Zullo probably wanted him to stay. No doubt those on the CCP were bound by confidentitality and had Reilly talked while he was part of the CCP, He could could been brought on different confidentality violation charges
“Has the Quote function stopped working for anyone else?”
Yes.
Try refreshing your browser cache. There’s a new version of the Theme up today.
Well, now we now that Zullo is using both Falcon and John to do his dirty work. Nothing surprising here. I remember the Gillar interview with Zullo. Zullo admitted in the taped interview that he tried to keep Reilly on board with the CCCP. John, you’re just another Zullo sock puppet.
Clearing the browser cache didn’t work for me.
Same with me.
The problem was with a new anti-spam plug in. It allows the quote function to work for logged in users, but not for others.
I removed the plug-in and it seems to be OK now. Maybe need to hit Ctrl-F5.
Did Reilly sign a confidentiality agreement?
That’s silly. Zullo was on Gallups show many times blabbing about the investigation. I seem to recall he even said I was a “person of interest”.
The Cold Case Posse is a non-profit corporation. It can’t write parking tickets let alone charge someone with violating a non-existent confidentiality agreement.
Confidentiality agreements pertaining to illegal or fraudulent behavior aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Besides John, as inept and dishonest as Zullo is I doubt seriously that there is anything like a confidentiality agreement. Regardless, he’d have to take Reilly to court to do anything about it, and court in front of a judge is the last place Zullo wants to be.

I remember that as well. You’re right. He blabbered publicly all the time.

Didn’t It get reported on “News Blaze” that Zullo had ace reporter / cab driver Randy Foreman sign a confidentiality agreement when ace reporter Randy Foreman drove Zullo around D.C. In his cab? I seem to recall that in print or on Volin’s show. But that doesn’t mean that was the case in the CCCP.
I will grant that Brian Reilly being an honorable person might have chosen to resign before going public with his concerns about the way Zullo was behaving and conducting the investigation. The point is Reilly resigned. He was not fired and Zullo has provided no evidence that he had any concern with Brian Reilly before he resigned. Now Zullo is apparently leaking information to an anonymous blog commenter in an effort to defame Reilly.
This was at the same time he was saying we were of no concern then spent an hour on Doc C, Foggy and RC.
I think that is usually classified as covering ones hind most parts, the problem is that Zullo has no credibility left to defend or anything that will even remotely come under that heading. All i can see here is a very ham handed, Zulloesque, sorry assed attempt at damage control when the horse are long out of the barn and it has done burned down.
Correct. Even if there is a confidentiality agreement (which I doubt), taking Reilly to court would be a lose-lose proposition for Zullo. By accusing Reilly of breaching a confidentiality agreement he would tacitly be admitting that Reilly has been telling the truth.
I have it on good authority that there was not a confidentiality agreement.
What’s next John?
John waffles between acknowledging that Zullo has nothing and defending him.
In his heart, he knows that Zullo is just a bloviating used car salesman.
Birther john can’t even properly place the blame for Zullo’s failings. According to him, its those mean old bloggers who destroyed the CCP’s credibility.
