Immigration cartoons

While peripheral to the topic of this web site, immigration issues are hot buttons for many of the same folks who take the view that President Obama himself is an illegal immigrant. I was sent this collection of cartoons and wanted to share them with you. Click on the image below to see the full-sized original. (The links are to a commercial web site that sells the images.)

Spam, spam, spam, spam

Folks trying to sell all manner of things on the Internet post their messages on blogs like this along with URL’s to boost their search engine page rankings. I’ve had over 32,000 of these spam comments since the blog started. If it were not for a third-party spam filter, this blog would be unmanageable.

While the filter is 99.7% accurate, it sometimes makes mistakes and puts your legitimate comments in the spam bucket. This has happened 24 times in the past month.

Spam filtering has nothing to do with moderation, and it’s not something I can configure or tweak. I don’t know anything you can do to reduce the chance you end up in the spam bucket either. I review all the spams and eventually your message will appear.

Constitutional amendment to remove Obama

I wrote in a previous article about Constitutional Fundamentalism, featuring a mock up of the Constitution packaged to look like the Holy Bible, totally unaware that I could have saved the effort and used the real thing:

Pocket Constitution

That edition probably doesn’t have the original Thirteenth Amendment, not ratified by the requisite number of states, at least according to everyone except a group of conspiracy theorists called “Thirteenthers” who believe it was. This group succeeded into inserting a plank into the Iowa Republican Platform calling for the “reintroduction and ratification of the original 13th amendment” of the Constitution, according to an article in the Huffington Post yesterday (July 29, 2010).

How does this affect President Obama? The amendment, according to some views, would make Obama not only ineligible to be president but also no longer a citizen because he accepted a Nobel Prize, contrary to the words of the amendment:

If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall, without the consent of Congress accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.

Two for WikiLeaks

I guess everyone here has heard of the tens of thousands of classified military documents obtained by WikiLeaks.org. Nothing, it seems is immune from the Obama denialist discussion, as the ABC News Blog talking about the President’s reaction to the leaks included this added comment:

Quo Warranto: If WikiLeaks were half the force they think they are… they would have a long-form copy of the Birth Certificate on their web site…

The second thing is the following interview with Julian Assange,  the founder of WikiLeaks.org. This is not an endorsement of  WikiLeaks. (more…)

Emails from the dark side

Two emails today from the dark side. The first is one of those that has always baffled me, folks who think that I’m an anti-Obama activist:

Comments: Thank you for pursuing Obama.

The judge is violating their sworn oath to office in your case. The entire Congress is violating their sworn oath in this case. Your argument to the judge should include their sworn oath and how they are violating it. That violating in this case is an act of treason and at least purgery [sic].

The next is one of those fake “eye witness” accounts, folks with personal knowledge that President Obama ain’t legit. It came as if from the original writer [illiteracy included]:

I knew Obamas grandfather, mother, father in Hawaii. I Knew the grandfather first then later when the mother ,father, first came back from Africa with their new baby.  They had much trouble account could not get papers to bring into the US. So had Brit papers for their son. The hate for the US by all three was very great, The socialist grandfather was barred from any military base at the time knew him. To us in the Military at the time we knew him as Stanley the Queer.

The information I know about them and the black socialist they hung with would travel around Hawaii trying to stir up trouble with the locals there.

I know so much more about them and a meeting with Hawaii officials by them and some kind of payment at a private residence. I know much more!

I have tried for 4 years to get my wife a visa after getting approval 2 times from USCIS and 2 times have been refused by US department of State at US Consulate Guangzhou China. I had to furnish documents and tax forms for more then 6 years now and copies of my birth certificate 4 times. same for my wife and son in China. I have had to give them documents for me and my wife since we were born. I have had to let them see many private letters of me and my wife. I have had to furnish private things about my health. I am a disabled American Citizen and Veteran. I have been asked to pay bribes to get a visa, I refused.

This is discrimination, why do I have to furnish all this when Obama has to furnish nothing to be president? I gave all and was refused a visa for my Family.

Birther Utah Senate candidate “files” amicus brief on behalf of LTC Terry Lakin

Cody Robert Judy, Utah candidate for the US Senate, says that he has “filed” an amicus curiae brief in support of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, an Army physician who refused to follow orders until somebody proved to him that Obama is eligible to be president. (This is the same Judy who was a co-defendant in the now-dismissed Barnett v Obama lawsuit.)

I put “filed” in quotation marks because it looks more like he just sent an email to Investigating Officer LTC Driscoll. According to military lawyer Philip D. Cave, CDR, JAGC, USN (Ret.), Judy’s document will not be accepted [featured hyperlink] for a number of reasons, including the fact that Judy is not an attorney (a requirement).

Cody Judy was also a witness at the Pastor Manning Blood of Jesus v Obama trial in Harlem:

Cody Robert Judy also recently testified in the CIA Columbia Obama Trial as an injured presidential candidate, who by being in the same Presidential race as Obama has standing, and who swore to tell the truth at the trial where a 10 Amendment Court was held, a Jury selected, Defendant’s were served and given the chance to defend themselves, 6 days of trial witnesses and evidence were produced, and the Jury rendered a guilty verdict on 17 accounts ranging from fraud to sedition on Barack Hussein Obama, Michael Sovern, and Columbia University….

The Frame Work of the CIA Columbia Obama Trial held in Harlem, NY May 14-19th 2010, brought a comprehensive and collection of evidence never before packaged in such a way at great cost and sacrifice and should be presented for Senate/House Congressional Trial to Judicial Committee by a coalition of presenters, and to this Military Court….

Judy amicus brief [bad grammar and Constitutional errors in the original]

That reads like something Orly Taitz could have written. Read on for Judy campaign video where he pledges to question Obama’s eligibility in the Senate. (more…)

Third Circuit to Apuzzo: YOU WIN!

Apart from the sensationally misleading but technically accurate title to this article, the rest is straight and not intended to be sarcastic.

Certainly readers here have seen criticism from the bully pulpit of the Obama Conspiracy Theories blog of the filings in the Kerchner v Obama lawsuit, filings submitted under the signature of Mario Apuzzo, Esq. You have also seen criticism of articles on his blog, and of comments he made here.

Readers will also have seen criticism of Mr. Apuzzo personally, although I hope not by me. Comments have been made against his law practice (DWI lawyer) and his career in general (mediocre). I don’t hold with such ad hominem attacks both because they include biased reporting lacking proper citation, and further because they are irrelevant to the conspiracy theories which are the subject matter of this blog.

This brings me to the subject of this article, Mr. Apuzzo’s win. I have no idea how many if any DWI cases Apuzzo has defended, but he has also represented plaintiffs in immigration cases, one of which was the case of Guedes-Munoz v Atty Gen USA that was heard by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. I can’t judge the complexity of the case, or the brilliance of Apuzzo’s filings, but it looks like he won.
