Date Filed v. Date Accepted (Update 3!)

This came in the mail:

I ran across a birther argument [on Free Republic] I could not answer. Obama’s COLB has a “Date Filed,” whereas other COLB’s posted on the internet have a “Date Accepted.”

The birthers seem to be attaching a lot of significance to this discrepancy. I briefly searched the Hawaii DOH websites to see if I could find any information on what it might mean, but was unsuccessful.

If you have time, you may want to explore this further. I’d be curious to know what you find. (more…)

Left in Alabama

leftinalabamaI wanted to highlight this progressive blog from Alabama. I left Alabama in 1972 to go to graduate school, but I still have family around Mobile.

Anyway these folks are making sensible comments about Obama conspiracies. And they even have a link over here, where they say:

Obamaconspiracy.org is on the case, and they are asking the right questions. Based on the conversation I am seeing there, I’m (cautiously) assuming that Scott Easterling really is an active-duty soldier.

The group that seems most responsible for keeping this conspiracy theory alive at the moment is the “Defend our Freedoms Foundation,” which appears to be run by a Russian-born Dentist from the O.C. who also has a law degree and a real estate license.

Update on that. Orly’s real estate license has expired. The big red X on the map is the state flag, for those who are southernly challenged.

Bless All Y’all!

The Birth Certificate is a forgery!

Fake Birth Certificate

Fake Birth Certificate

Obama Conspiracy Theories forensic document analyst Dr. Conspiracy [not a real doctor or a real document analyst] has ruled the John McCain “birth certificate” submitted as evidence in the Hollander v. McCain lawsuit a forgery.

For those who know this web site well, let me assure you that this is a serious article from now on, and not a joke, spoof or satire.

The question of where John McCain was born did not carry much interest in the last election; however Fred Hollander brought a lawsuit (dismissed for lack of standing) asserting that John McCain was not eligible to be president because he was not born in the United States. Conventional wisdom (and newspaper articles including Citizen McCain – Washington Post) assert that McCain was born on a US Military Base in the Panama Canal Zone. While some have argued that this is insufficient to make McCain a natural born citizen, Fred Hollander went one step further, claiming that John McCain was born not in the Panama Canal Zone, but rather in the Republic of Panama itself (and not under any US jurisdiction whatever).

Senator Shelby (R-AL) says he’s confident Citizenship thoroughly examined

Great line from CNN: “Sometimes when you’re thinking on your feet, you’re not thinking on your feet”.

This footage from CNN is worth watching and belies the claims that the mainstream media ignores these things.

Gina Cobb

Continuing the Obama Conspiracy Theories tradition of introducing readers to opposition web sites we visit today the blog:

GINA COBB: NEWS AND COMMENTARY FOR THINKING PEOPLE

I came upon this web site searching for commentary on Scott Easterling. The article I read was Scott Easterling Stands Up! posted under the byline of DemocracyRules. In a comment to the article, DR said:

Please feel free to search within Gina Cobb for my many postings on this issue. I have cited a substantial amount of documented evidence that Obama is not eligible. (more…)

Will the Real Scott Easterling Please Stand Up?

Here’s yet another lesson on critical thinking and the nature of the Internet in spreading hoaxes and urban legends.

There is a blog named Scott Easterling on blogspot. In the article: Why I want to be Court Martialed, “Easterling” says:

My attorney, whom I have grown to respect, has informed me that I can subpoena “President” Obama, and that I can then ask the Court to direct his counsel to produce a valid, legal United States Birth Certificate. If he will do this, I will immediately obey any lawful Order he or his subordinates render.

But is this really Lt. Scott Easterling’s Blog? Commenters here at Obama Conspiracy Theories have been skeptical. Now Orly Taitz says:
1st Lt. Scott R. Easterling Does NOT Have a Blog.

Who do you trust? Do you trust a name on a blog? Do you trust Orly Taitz?

Cat Fight

“There ain’t enough room for two of us in this town…” seems to be the attitude from the Berg Camp as Linda Starr takes aim at Orly Taitz:

Orly Taitz is playing with serious fire when she starts messing with the military. She is going to get slapped down and very hard and I shudder to think what will happen to Easterling. She is encouraging his actions by agreeing to take this case. There are reasons why any active duty personnel suits will be struck down, and struck down as hard as possible because we are at war in two countries. It is her lack of experience practing [sic] law that is the problem. She should know better. Any lawyer with any experience in litigation or criminal prosecutions know better. Hell, I’m not an attorney and even I know better as a civilian! The government is going to come back on her. She does NOT know what she is doing and her actions prove it. Somebody better warn her she is playing with fire and is going to get burned BAD when this blows up into a bonfire in her face!!!…
