I don’t know who Arnold Carl Tapp is, but I have somehow gotten onto his mailing list of right-wing meanness against Barack Obama. According to his latest, Obama opponents are ramping up the pressure against Obama ten-fold—instead of the million-man “Walk Like an Egyptian” march on Washington, DC, September 9, 2013 (where hardly anyone showed up), they are planning a 10-million man “Walk Like an Egyptian” march on Washington, DC! That’s an unprecedented size for a no-show event! Here’s Tapp’s text (color scheme from the original):
>>" WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN" <<<
THE BRAVE PEOPLE OF EGYPT GATHERED 33, 000,000 TO KICK OUT A PRESIDENT INSTALLED BY THE TREACHEROUS MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN FAVOR OF A MORE LIBERAL & DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT, IN A MOVE KNOWN AS " ARAB SPRING ".
AMERICA MUST JOIN THE SAME KIND OF PROTEST KNOWN AS
" OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING ", ALREADY ORGANIZED BY MANY HIGH RANKING , PATRIOTIC AMERICAN MILITARY OFFICERS . GENERAL PAUL VALLELY , COL . HARRY RILEY, AND MANY OTHERS , JOINED BY ALL TEA PARTY GROUPS AND CITIZENS . " WE THE PEOPLE " MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF OUR NATION , RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW , OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR REPUBLIC .JOIN THE TEN MILLION ( 10,000,000 ) MILITARY MAN MARCH ON WASHINGTON D.C. ( DISTRICT OF CORRUPTION ) . GOOGLE IT OR SEARCH FOR IT ONLINE . BE THERE IF YOU CAN .
The date for this non event is set for May 16, 2014. Hmmm, a more liberal president. I could go for that.
Some interesting observations about the American version of the Egyptian Spring demonstrations. Did you ever wonder why they picked May 16th? That is a Friday, which would be a working day for most. It is 2 days after the full moon, which makes it day 16 of the lunar Draco cycle, which is traditionally a day for tearing down. So doubly 16 day of the month, and 16 day of the lunar cycle should be a powerful day for destruction.
Now let us look at the numeric correspondences of 5/16. Five is symbolic of the God Anubis. (See the link to an illustration of an Egipcios Kier card.) Sixteen is symbolic of overthrow or destruction generally, but particularly it is associated with the image of the blasted obelisk.
Since the Washington Monument has been mentioned as a focal point of the disturbance, this becomes very curious. The occult significance of this day is Death and Upheaval.

Walk like a Russian rooster!
Doesn’t this screed scribbler have the timeline of the “Arab Spring” totally wrong? Weren’t the crowds mobilized to oust Mubarak? And wasn’t it WAY after the “Arab Spring” risings that the Muslim Brotherhood got too power-grabby, and were removed by the Egyptian Military, not the people in the street?
And weren’t he right-wingers caught in the situation of having to defend Mubarak and Khaddafi, since the current Administration was helping depose them? So they were AGAINST the “Arab Spring?”
And wasn’t the “Arab Spring” just a big PR gimmick by the makers of “Irish Spring?”
Oooh, it’s a pickle.
A demonstration of the firm grasp of facts and history that is commonly displayed by Birthers.
Not just that, it’s a “TEN MILLION […] MILITARY MAN MARCH” – so they hope they will get 10 million from the military alone, not counting all the civilian protesters. That’s even bolder an aim than you paraphrased.
Rewriting history has always been a favourite.
Besides, I don’t recall 33 million people taking to the streets in Egypt.

My personal guess is that the right-wingers are still hurt that the last “million man march” in the US was to fight racial inequality. They are as desperate to outdo that with a “ten million whites” march as they are to find “the scandal to outdo Watergate” or to keep the first black President out of the history books.
I think it’s probably got a lot more to do with there not being much on TV that weekend.
Au contraire! There’s a “Matlock” marathon running on T.V. Land, so most of the birthers will be unavailable for marching.
When the TEN MILLION MILITARY MAN march fizzles out, the next one is obviously the HUNDRED MILLION GENERALS march.
Hey, I like Matlock.
Aside from the teeny detail that they couldn’t scare up more than a handful for the last epic fail, where are they planning on parking 10 million anything???? I mean reality be damned, this has even gone well past bad fantasy to the totally ridiculous.
On the other hand it at least gives them something to ponder and plan while they are waiting for their gov’t checks to come in.
I may be wrong here, but didn’t the arab spring protests result in the election of candidates from the muslim brotherhood and weren’t they later ousted by a military coup? Also, I would point out that 33 million is over 40% of Egypt’s population—if the birthers want to do as well as Egypt, don’t they need well over 100,000,000 at their demonstration?
Doc, you were so kind to give the people at BR a link to the Clowns Website. That link does not work because of the brackets. I guess there are some unable to remove them.
Details, details.
The guy is more concerned with “Colbert truthiness.”
Actually, I didn’t leave a link, just the www+domain Their site software turned it into a hyperlink incorrectly. It’s a WordPress thing.
This is the (strangely un-anticipated?) difficulty with throwing out the Constitutional Republic and going to a system whereby the faction that can assemble the biggest mob determines the leadership. The people who can show up are exactly the ones with the least to do with their time. I expect these “patriots” will run into some unintended consequences if they choose this putative path to political power.
Is it just me, or does it seem that Vallely and the TOS people are having second thoughts about this operation? Have we seen the last joint appearance with Vallely and Riley?
Starting with the lack of porta-potties. You think military folks would be thinking logistics first. Their constituency is not like the Woodstock kids who could handle some inconveniences.
I know it would chill them to the bone if they could witness a Rainbow Gathering and see the numbers that come together just for the hell of it. Porta-potties? Please. A few thousand shovels and a few tons of lime, how ’bout?
Arnold Carl Tapp is a 78-year-old man living in Hollywood, Florida. He believes that the U.S. government has been infiltrated by Communists and he believes that America “desperately needs another Joe McCarthy.” He also types in ALL CAPS. Maybe he’s hard of hearing so he has to shout.

For the sake of documentation, here are some more quasi-occult shadings around the date when America is to shake off the fetters of Constitutional Democracy and ascend to the liberation of Pure Mob Rule:
(From
https://patriotpost.us/commentary/22627
)
Quotes (sic):
” A purely peaceful protest is wonderful and politically correct, therby rendering it incorrect and ineffective.
Friday, May 16, 2014 falls within the Jewish “Chabad” when Manna, “Bread From Heaven” which sustained the Children of Israel during their 40 years of wandering through the desert, began to fall on the 16th of Iyar of the year 2448 from creation, one month after the Exodus but significance of May 16, 2014 remains clouded.
”
“This will be held just 8 days after the first BLOOD MOON of the 4 Blood Moon Tetrads. The FOUR BLOOD MOONS start on May 8, 2014 and complete in September of 2015 with a Solar Eclipse in the middle of the 4. The tetrad is a signal to the world that something is about to change!!!”
Col. Riley (ret.) who is putting on this May Day thing was on Mike Volin’s show.

gorefan . . . you don’t really expect anyone to listen to that do you? I mean, just how much insanity do you think normal people can handle? When I clicked on your comment I was expecting to find a concise summary of that sick sack of taitz’s baloney, not a hyperlink to the actual reek-pile. I am very disappointed.
Whenever I see Col. Riley’s name I think of Col. Hall, who was Sgt. Bilko’s inept commanding officer at Fort Riley on The Phil Silvers Show.
On the show he said that the President has issued over 1000 executive orders while President Bush only had 68 in eight years. Moron
Also the host of the show mentioned something about the big March event is timed for the CPAC convention.
Interesting watching the various factions at the “Why can’t we be like Egypt?” movement. There is a guy calling himself “Senior Chief Geoff Ross” who seems to have a bit of common sense. He has written up “Rules of Engagement” that would seem to keep them out of trouble if applied. For instance, rule 1 is “No Weapons. No Ammunition”.
Number 2 is “Follow all the rules of the road”:
“No running red lights, no speeding, no harassment of the Communist forces with your vehicles. … Ensure some lanes are free and open for passage of emergency response vehicles.”
Unfortunately, Col. Riley promptly threw out the ROE as soon as he got on a national talk show, where he was not coy at all with his intentions to commit illegal acts or domestic terrorism.
”
Colmes: What’s your plan to stop traffic? How are you going to do that?
Riley: We’re going to have to be in the streets, that’s how we stop it.
Colmes: You’re going to be standing in the streets stopping traffic?
Riley: Absolutely
Colmes: You’re going to get in the way of the ingress and egress of people going about their daily business and really get in the way of citizens who through no fault of their own are just happen to be going about their daily lives, right?
Riley: That’s the way it is when we’re pursuing freedom and liberty for all.
”
Riley appears to be marginally smarter than Daren Huff, since he still insists that he is not bringing weapons. (But he allows that others may, and claims he can do nothing about it if they do.) In some ways he is about equal to Walter Fitzpatrick in that he thinks he can force the government to mold itself to his will by showing up with a mob and forcing those he does not like to resign.
“Senior Chief Geoff Ross” will probably be gone from the group long before May. I notice that his “Rules of Engagement” are no longer displayed prominently.
Well, maybe a leeeeetle bit…

Well, some actual oppression might help. The imaginary kind doesn’t seem to be very motivating.
And now a racist Black fellow from Florida is calling for hanging!
That particular lie was debunked here:
http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/10/obama-executive-orders-debunked/
aah. Well, maybe he was back on his meds the day he wrote the Rules of Engagement…
Yikes! “The alter (sic) of goodness,” huh? Some typos are just better than others…
The Real Purpose of Operation American Spring?
There is no doubt about it. I have spent way too much time reading conspiracy blogs where nothing however so innocent can be what it seems on the surface. So it has warped my thinking, perhaps.
I originally got interested because of the early initial involvement of some personalities associated with “New Age” groups that would seem to have little in common with the average Tea Party supporter. They now seem to have withdrawn, or at least, are hiding in the shadows.
Col Riley repeatedly states that there will be no fund raising. Which strongly implies that he already has a stable source of funds under the table. Who could that be? Who could benefit from having “tens of millions” of Tea Party occupied and distracted smack dab in the middle of the Republican Primary season? It would not be the Democrats because they would love for the Tea Party to take over the Republicans in time for 2016.
The May primaries in Red States are actually more critical than the November elections, since whatever Republican wins the primary, will summarily be elected in the general. So for instance, in Red State Texas, every hour and dollar that the Tea Party spends in May occupied with some other activity than campaigning for tea party Stockman, is an hour and dollar given to establishment Cornyn.
Vallely and Riley tried this mass demonstration a couple of years ago, and it was such a complete bust that they both have to know that there is no credible chance of success this time. And the funders of the effort know this also. But the money continues to flow in from somewhere.
Well he is probably pretty confident of his pension check, but that just mens he hasn’t been watching the ‘progress’ in the budget ‘negotiations’.
Highlights from an email someone posted elsewhere:
MILITIA MOBILIZATION UNDER WAY: Senior Chief Geoff Ross, U.S. Navy (Ret.)- O.A.S. UPDATE
Be advised that I am in the process of notifying and contacting all legal and constitutionally created militia groups across the United States to mobilize on Washington DC for “Operation American Spring”currently scheduled for May 16th, 2014 and commanded by my friend Colonel Harry Riley US Army Intelligence (Retired) Silver star.
1.8 million people have already responded in kind and are mobilizing and or supporting this effort. We need 10 million.
…
I called the Marxist Senator (comrade) Harry Reid this morning at 0430 hours and left him a message notifying him that we are now mobilizing and coming to see him soon in Washington. We are not leaving the grounds surrounding our White House or the Congress until Mr. Barry Soetoro, the Muslim imposter, has been removed from office for treason and/or impeached for crimes against the constitution.
…
If you would like to call Senate Leader Comrade Harry Reid and relay your own message his number is 202-224-3542 . Do not threaten, we come in peace, but we are not leaving Washington DC until Mr. Barry Soetoro, the illegal immigrant from Kenya, who studied as an Indonesian foreign student in this nation, who flew to Pakistan in 1981 on a foreign passport, has been removed from office.

Does this sound like a scam?
On the Operation American Spring website there is a link to “Operation American Spring Water Relief”.
http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/forum/topics/update-2-425-donated-to-operation-american-spring-water-relief?commentId=2734278%3AComment%3A658495&xg_source=activity
This points to a page where some good ole boy (grifters?) in drought stricken Texas have accepted a few thousand dollars to haul water to the town of Hurrican West Virgina.
http://www.gofundme.com/OASWVWaterDrive
Meanwhile, the town where they intend to haul the water, has posted on it’s website that it doesn’t need any.
http://hurricanewv.com/
When you consider that in Texas water is scarce, while on the East Coast it is abundant, this smells a little fishy. Would you drink water that had been hauled in 3 tanker trucks by these Bubbas? There is no way it could be approved for human consumption. Sounds like a clever way to earn a little beer money.
Meanwhile, last we heard, neither the trucks nor the money have left Texas.
