"Never underestimate the ability of a tiny fringe group of losers to ruin everything [by finding the real birth certificate]." Bill Maher
Losers, birthers, truthers - liberally use mud but don't dare put yourself out, Richard Cranium, to examine the evidence. That's the Maher way.
They're saying it's now been found but it had already been allegedly sighted by a reporter [correction here] well before the election and the Kenyan government then shut down the communication channels, stripped the reporter of his equipment and deported him. Fox News rescued the guy and ran a report on it at the time.
Why has it now supposedly been found again? Who took off the shackles? How has it miraculously appeared?
Either way, now Obama may be pressurized to produce his real birth certificate, the long version, for once and for all. So that's a positive.

Update 15:07 The document being debunked is last week's obvious forgery, complete with spyware, not the Taitz document.
The Post Chronicle says:
Anyone who surfs the web has by now become at least nominally aware that a rapidly growing segment of America is quite dissatisfied with the vetting of the President. The question is largely centered on Barack Obama's refusal to release what is known as the long form of his Hawaiian birth certificate.
Equally disconcerting is the fact that some high profile conservatives like Bill O'Reilly and Governor Mike Huckabee think Obama is perfectly OK with the COLB he displayed on Snopes.com We have to wonder why they are so sure about something they have never seen either.
The birth record is only one of many documents that have raised suspicion about the President's past. It is ridiculously un-complicated because the commonality of every document in question is the same; they are still missing, or at least unseen by anyone except those who are reported to be holding them.

“I believe that the president should end the speculation by being transparent about all aspects of his background,” [Professor of Political Science and Law] Carol Swain said. Swain said that what is posted online for the president is a certificate of live birth. “It is the failure to release the long form that keeps suspicion alive.”
Other sealed records that Swain has called for the president to release include those pertaining to his education, foreign travel and state legislative business.
It's a very simple matter to resolve - release the long copy of the Birth Certificate. No calling people nutters or birthers or writing long articles about "oh no, the birthers are at it again". Forget the ridicule and solve the issue for once and for all:
Release the long copy birth certificate.
The people have a right to know all this if he's to be at the helm. Plain and simple.
ReplyDelete(or perhaps that's the problem) Either he or they are hiding something...or are they dangling it out there to keep us distracted/preoccupied from something else...if one wants to be suspicious why not go all out! :)
That's a good point about the distraction.
ReplyDeleteThis coverup is so amateurish that perhaps it's only a red herring for the real thing.
I suspect the pressure will build. 340 000 people is an impressive initial list.
It all seems so ridiculous, and sad. I just shake my head at the goings on today...or has it always been this bad (with political shenanigans and deceit). It's so easy to stay busy with one's own life than to be caught up in the thought of all this...but then again, is that what the powers-that-be want? :/
ReplyDeleteThe noise is coincident with his fall in popularity.
ReplyDeleteWill he make it as far as re-election time?
That's the question now being asked.
1) The vast majority of Obama voters would vote for him if he were from Leningrad, Mecca, or Mars. They want what they want.
ReplyDelete2) The Obama campaign was so paranoid (then) about Muslim associations that they did not permit any staff to wear green on their middle-east tour. It seems likely his certificate was legitimately changed from the original to read "Barry Soetoro" after his mothers re-marriage--and never changed back-- and this was not the thing to be expained when Obama had written a book dreaming of his father (dreaming indeed) whose legal name he no longer had.
3) By now, the birth certificate may indeed only be a foil availed by clever handlers to keep others off his lack of scholastic, passport, and appointment records throughout his life.
The Obots have a problem which is becoming more apparent as time goes on. Barry has been raised to act a part, and he understands the play, but he does not write the materiel. Yet one day Michelle, who told us he is compelely underwhelming in private life, said to him, "chump, do you realize you are President of the effing United States?". So he has been writing a good deal of his own script off teleprompter. This has not worked out well.
The brain trust must regain control and convince him that if he is to continue to cross this line, he is at some point going to encounter not puzzlement or anger, but laughter. It will be over. I don't think that will happen, but that is the fight going on behind the curtain at Oz right now.
At first I was for him and hoped he'd get the nomination, jsut to stop the Lizard Queen. I think I might have written an early post on that.
ReplyDeleteThen, when he sounded just like Blair over here - Yes, we can! - and so on, with no specifics, it looked a bit wonkier.
Then came the revelations and that was not good. Interesting, your analysis, Xlbrl. We follow the news but you are actually over there, getting the feel at ground level.
By now, the birth certificate may indeed only be a foil availed by clever handlers to keep others off his lack of scholastic, passport, and appointment records throughout his life.
Yes. Yes. There's defintiely something that doesn't add up. Perhaps it isn't the birth certificate after all.
Do you feel he'll hang on to the end of a second term and then it all comes out or do you think he'll come a cropper before then?
Some think an assassination but he has to be working FOR America to be assassinated, e.g. Garfield, attempt on Jackson, Lincoln, Kennedy insofar as he was considering a monetary change.
"Other sealed records that Swain has called for the president to release include those pertaining to his education, foreign travel and state legislative business." Silly red herrings - there's nothing in the Constitution about such stuff.
ReplyDeleteI really cannot speak to a second term. Much depends not on whether or not he gets a grip on his mouth and ego.
ReplyDeleteBut I have no doubt of this: the handlers are following the book that was written for 1933, and refined ever since. Garet Garrett described it in The Revolution Was, literally page by page describing our present state. This is a method, and Roosevelt is the model. But the methods were not made by Roosevelt either. It is made in an unbroken line, intellectual and often by blood, from the early nineteen hundreds to now. Garrett, Hayek, and others provide details.
Roosevelt made things vastly worse for many years, and yet improved his standing and made four terms. The Obots see no danger in this course, they see power.
Garrett--
In a revolutionary situation mistakes and failures are not what they seem. They are scaffolding. Error is not repealed. It is compounded by a longer law, by more decrees and regulations, by further extension of the administrative hand....When you have passed one miracle you have to pass another one to
take care of it, so it was with the New Deal.
The revolutionary historian.... will be much less impressed by the fact that it was peacefully accomplished than by the marvelous technique of bringing it to pass not only within the (traditional) form but within the word, so that people were all the while fixed in the delusion that they were talking about the same things because they were using the same words. Opposite and violently hostile ideas were represented by the same words. This was the American people’s first experience with dialectic according to Marx and Lenin.
So it was that a revolution took place within the form. Like the hagfish, the New Deal entered the old form and devoured its meaning from within. The revolutionaries were inside; the defenders were outside. A government that had been supported by the people and so controlled by the people became one that supported the people and so controlled them.
To the revolutionary mind the American vista must have been almost as incredible as Genghis Khan’s first view of China–so rich, so unaware. Why should anyone fear government?
Its cruel and cynical suspicion of any motive but its own was a reflection of something it knew about itself. Its voice was the voice of righteousness; its methods therefore were more dishonest than the simple ways of corruption.
