The additional open thread: Spring forward edition

In the USA, set your clocks forward and enjoy the open thread.

Obama Conspiracy Theories closed to new articles on January 20, 2017, as as the very presidential Barack Obama left office, and was replaced by someone completely different. The open thread is a place to leave comments and continue the discussion. This thread will close, and be replaced by another in 4 weeks.

  1. Mike Zullo responds to Malik Obama tweeted fake birth certificate.

    But really, they’re still talking about Obama’s birth certificate?

    And Dennis Montgomery! Zullo, Gallups, Klayman, and Montgomery collectively bring up Rondeau on a near-daily basis.

  3. I took a few minutes to comment on that article, pointing out the reasons we know the Kenyan certificate is a fake. The news stories just refer to it is a fake without supporting details.

    Dave B.: The other Obamas in Kenya are responding to Malik’s tweet, too:

    Do any of the experts here know when Barack Obama got his first U.S. passport? I remember that he was removed from his mother’s passport in the 1960s but is there proof of when he first received his very own passport?
    Now that he’s a private citizen again, would his passport history be available under an FOIA request?

  6. bob says:

    Joey: [B]ut is there proof of when he first received his very own passport?

    No later than 2009.

    Now that he’s a private citizen again, would his passport history be available under an FOIA request?

    No. No third-party FOIA requests for living people are granted (unless there is a waiver).

    Proof? No, but in his book Dreams of My Father there is a passage about arriving in Honolulu from Indonesia (Spring, 1979) and custom officer asking if he was an American and the ten year old handed him his passport.

    He would have gotten his own when he was taken off his mother’s. He had to have a passport to return to Hawaii for school.

    Being President had nothing to do with FOIA rejections for his passport records. Such records are protected for ALL living persons President or not.

    Doc has more relevent experience with the issue of course.

    Now THAT’s what I was looking for! Thanks Gorefan.
    Thanks everyone else for the info on living persns and FOIA requests. Now I understand how birthers were able to get Obama Senior’s INS files which they used to disparage him.
    I needed this nfo to fight with some birthers on yet another right wing blog.

  10. I came across a couple of interesting twitter statistics.

    Followers:
    Donald Trump: 26.5 million
    Barack Obama: 85.8 million

    Following:
    Donald Trump: 42
    Barack Obama: 631 thousand

    Trump follows his family, his businesses and some conservative talking heads.

    In his latest pity party Judy whines that he was sent to prison because of his “religious tenants” [sic] and he continues to be unapologetic about the fact that he terrified thousands of people. He also is moaning that he has had three failed marriages (gee, I wonder why?). He hates immigrants so he thinks that polygamy would be a good way to get more white babies in the U.S.

    He also believes that his book will one day be a New York Times best seller. And that pigs can fly.

    I’ve always found that religious tenants are more likely to pay the rent on time.

  27. Here’s the brief article:

    “Yes, it’s true, Barack Obama, while president, bugged Donald Trump at the Trump Tower in New York. But it’s excusable.

    Obama keeps his birth certificate at his home in the top drawer of his night table. But one night, when he checked, it wasn’t there. As a result, he ordered bugs put up for two days at the Trump Tower, but Donald Trump never mentioned anything about Barack’s birth certificate, so Obama removed the bugs.

    After the bugs were gone, Trump happily told an aide, now fired, that he had burned the birth certificate. The identity of this aide is being withheld at his request.”

  29. I read that article earlier today. I liked this part:

    I think it’s important to remember that the root cause of all this michegas is the fact that Trump is an emotionally unstable, fake news-loving nitwit, and that this specific outpouring of nitwittery has now consumed a lot of the time and energy of people on the government payroll who are, ostensibly, serious.

  38. If we still had new articles, this latest Corsu/Zullo/Montgomery thing would be worthy of one.

    It’s neat how the conspiracy carnival barkers found a way to tie today’s news (claims of wiretaps at Trump Tower) to old discredited “junk” (Dennis Montgomery’s fake data). “Opportunist” is the word that comes to mind.

    Orly … this is not true … right?

    Taitz’s response:

    no, it did not, particularly in light of the fact that Obama committed fraud in occupying the position of the president till 2009 based on a stolen CT SSN and fabricated IDs and he is getting retirement money today, as a former president based on fabricated IDs.

    Nice try Mr. Obama. though, but no go!

    Follow up comments from others also state “there is no Statute of Limitations for the act of Treason” and “the Statute of Limitations on misdemeanor fraud, never mind felony fraud, in the District of Columbia has not yet expired.”

That’s why Lucas Smith can’t be charged with a crime for the Kenyan birth certificate which he forged. It would have been a different matter if he had been able to sell it while passing it off as authentic.

    That may be true, but I don’t like going there, because 8 years of public discussion and analysis of the matter have shown clearly that – support from lying, grandstanding, sucker-playing Arizona political grifters aside – there simply isn’t the slightest actual credible evidence of any forgery, or Kenyan birth, or any other of the birther claims whatsoever.

    ALL available evidence is completely clear that birtherism is, and always was, a complete and total fantasy/ load of manure/ con job.

    Why should men pay for maternity care if they are 60? For one, Trump is 70 with a 10-year old son.

    Why should men pay for mammograms? I know 2 men who had breast cancer.

    Why should I pay for circumcisions, viagra, penis pumps, vasectomies and prostate cancer? (Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind lung cancer and colorectal cancer.)

    New CBO score: The legislation would reduce the deficit by $150 billion over 10 years, down from $337 billion in the original legislation, the report said. The plan would still result in 24 million more people being uninsured in 2026

    The CBO’s message is, essentially, that if Trump simply sticks with the status quo, the wave of huge premium hikes and insurer dropouts will end.

    Your point is well taken, but I brought it up because for years I have been challenging birthers to identify the law which they believe was broken if the birth certificate could be proven to be a forgery.

    The best any of them could do was mutter some nonsense about treason.

  69. I know. Just ignore the problem for forty years and then, boom, with a few clicks of a keyboard, stealing the Obama forger’s intel, suddenly you’re the most awesome investigator the world has ever known. ZulloMoore did that with the acid-burned fingerprints, you know.

    I was instructed by the convicted felon sheriff Sermon Dyess, Jr. to go give intel to Mike ZulloMoore. The intel I gave was that the Medellin Cartel, of which I am one, were burning off fingerprints via the same acid we used in getting rid of bodies.

    No joke. He takes this intel and submits it to a specialized police magazine and then asks me to marry him. Why? So, that he could pocket all of the money and take all of the credit.

    Wash, rinse, repeat.

    The real problem that he has is that Pablo Escobar built an embassy not more than a few miles off of his station. Not to mention, he really didn’t seem to have a clue as to what was going on in his own back yard. This is why he and others try to hard to keep their true territory such a huge secret.

    Root whines that he is associated with birthers despite him claiming that Obama had Indonesia citizenship and that Obama posed as foreign born. And Root was a witness at Manning’s trial.

  72. Rickey says:

    Root wrote the following in 2010:

    I do want however to make it clear that all of us have a right, duty and obligation to question our President, as well as all politicians on their past. The moment a politician decides to run for office they have given up a right to “seal records.” They are now a public figure, and the voting public has every right to question and investigate anything and everything that shines light on who will be representing the American people.

    Root in 2017, speaking about Democrats and Trump:

    There is not much that needs to be said.They’re unhinged, they’re off the rails, they’re mentally ill. The Democratic Party has Trump Derangement Syndrome and they are no longer an opposition party or a leading party; they’re not willing to come to the table and work, they’re not willing to vote on Supreme Court nominees, they’re just looking to block and boycott. They’re crazy and so we have just got to run the country and ignore them … I think we have got to erase Obama like he was never there.

    He is a hypocrite.

  73. Notorial Dissent says:

    Root has a VERY skewed view of reality, like that hasn’t long been apparent, but even for him this is pushing it. Has the man done nothing with his life since his inconsequential academic career? It would certainly seem not.

  74. “Barack Obama’s real Kenyan birth certificate has been discovered, President Trump has caught “Russia’s White House spy,” and actor Robert Wagner has been hit by “grand jury murder charges” – if you believe this week’s tabloids.

    “Alas, it’s another basketful of wishful thinking, fact-challenged alternate realities.”

    They were really sloppy in debunking the Malik/Smith Kenyan birth certificate fake, and I left a comment.

  75. Dave B. says:

    Funny how people will so confidently make false claims without even checking first, ain’t it?
    That Kenya Gazette is mighty handy. There’s an issue for the same day Obama’s birth certificate was filed–
    https://books.google.com/books?id=3vtrD-mcJxEC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false
    You get people on both sides saying stuff like “Kenya didn’t exist in 1961.” Then again, I had somebody insisting the other day that Mombasa had been part of Kenya for hundreds of years.

    Cody Robert Judy update: While he waits to have his Motion for Reconsideration to be denied, he has come up with a “brilliant” idea to cut the cost of health insurance. His solution? Instead of being covered 24/7, just be covered three days a week. Or save more by being covered only during office hours. So if you have a heart attack or stroke at night, all you have to do is stay alive until morning and then rush to the hospital. Unless it happens on one of the four days of the week when you aren’t covered, in which case you have to hang on longer.

    He calls his plan “Coasting Code-Care.” I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

    I drove past the Obama house in Chicago yesterday. Or at least I tried to. My guides, who hae worked in the immediate area for 40 years and been past it many times, couldn’t find it! 😅😅😅😅

    I don’t expect anyone was home anyway or we would have found the security detal at least.

  87. No. Many years ago I had an old military receiver (tubes) and that I think was Hallicrafters.

    The only big radio I have is an old Radio Shack DX-300 (like http://www.universal-radio.com/used/UD64lrg.jpg), a Wadley Loop receiver, but it doesn’t work any more. My best radio now is probably the Tecsun PL-660.

    Ex-con Judy is peeved that the district court isn’t paying him enough attention, so he threw more paper at it. A notice of some sort. :yawn:

    Rondeau has an article about it, and promises another one.

  90. What an idiot (take your pick Judy and/or Rondeau). Judy filed a “Notice of Decision/Judgment” on his Motion for Reconsideration filed on 2/27. He thinks he can file that because the defendants filed no opposition in the 30 day period allowed by FRCP. However, his Motion for Reconsideration was already denied by Judge Webster. Judy doesn’t understand that a reply was optional. His frivolous dead case is still frivolous and still dead.

    Meanwhile Rondeau who the other day was correcting a typo that Yahoo made called Judy a “Democrat candidate”. It is “Democratic candidate” dip-wad.

    The clip is pretty funny: Gallups and son are soooo smug because they believe that Montgomery was Nunes’ secret source. But this week’s events have proven that to be demonstrably false.

    And begging the president to help Arpaio and punish Snow.

    My guess is he will repeat the names he’s previously mentioned – Miller, Stockman (both out of Congress).

    He said that no one has said Montgomery’s data base was not from the NSA. Of course except for Thomas Drake and Kirk Wiebo two NSA ex-employees who called Montgomery a fraud.

    “The sheriff’s office also initially failed to turn over a report from two former National Security Agency computer specialists, Thomas Drake and Kirk Wiebe, who the sheriff’s office asked to evaluate Montgomery’s work to see if it was credible. They concluded Montgomery’s database was fraudulent and did not contain records from the CIA as Montgomery had suggested. “We have found that he is a complete and total FRAUD,” the former NSA employees concluded.”

  99. bob says:

    Rickey: He also sent a letter to Trump last month, asking for help with his dead lawsuit from the Attorney General. He received no response, of course.

    In the second part of his “interview” at the P&E, ex-con Judy expresses some doubt about the president, and that he may be secretly on Obama’s side.

    And, unsurprisingly, that it’ll be an injustice if the courts again show him the door. Ex-con Judy doesn’t seem to grasp the concept that the real injustice would be hauling an innocent person into court to defend a long-since dead frivolous lawsuit.

    I didnt know that Politico was a printed paper., but i just found a copy in Wash. D. C. Huh, learn sumpin new ever day.

  101. Gorefan’s comment reminded me of the time back in 2013 when a Birther named Pixel Patriot from Georgia set up a one hour conference call with Mike Zullo and his representative Rob Woodall. Pixel Patriot videoed the call. Zullo had his big chance. He had a whole hour to present everything and lay his case out on the table, the Hayes report, the secret evidence, everything. But he had nothing. Zullo was awful and Woodall was not impressed.

    As soon as people commented on how badly it went for Zullo Pixel Patriot pulled the video from YouTube and the Birther Report article with the video was scrubbed. It was never seen again.

    By ‘nice’ I mean, of course, that it only rained 3 out of 4 days, and only in the morning with fog or low clouds the rest of the time. 1 day was sunny and 70 degrees. That was the day we decided to go up the Sears Tower to the Skydeck ‘tommorrow’.

    Well, what do you know. Just saw this:

    “Just three weeks from former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s criminal contempt trial, lead defense attorney Mel McDonald has asked to withdraw from the case.”

    “In a brief Monday filing, McDonald only states that the request is made in “good cause” and that his withdrawal was “mandatory” under an ethical rule.”

    . . . .

    “McDonald’s request comes days after numerous defense motions asking the judge to delay the trial and to bar Arpaio’s old campaign statements, as well as victim testimony.”

    “Another motion states that Arpaio was “coerced” into acknowledging civil contempt in the case. According to the motion, Arpaio agreed to the admission because his attorneys led him to believe that it would prevent him from criminal charges.”

    “It is unclear whom the motion seeks to blame for this agreement. . . . ”

    He’s just looking for someone new to throw under a convenient bus. Being his lawyer is fraught with peril, and disbarment.

  113. Plaintiff H. Brooke Paige left a comment at my blog about Paige v Condos, et. al.. He is awaiting a decision on his appeal to the Vermont Supreme Court. He is optimistic due to the length of time they have taken to issue a decision since oral arguments were held on November 30, 2016. If you really this was the case that Paige filed in late 2015 against Ted Cruz, Marco, Rubio and two other candidates on the Vermont 2016 primary ballot.

    The comment was left on an article where I listed all of Mario Apuzzo’s losing eligibility cases (there are no winning cases). I added this appeal to the list.

    There is particular attention to the Naturalization Act of 1790. I think the matter has been moved forward by this article.
