Birther appeals consolidated
The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has consolidated separate appeals filed by attorney Gary Kreep on behalf of Markham Robinson and Wiley Drake; and Orly Taitz on behalf of Pamela Barnett, Alan Keyes, et al. The February 12, 2010, order says:
The court sua sponte consolidates appeal nos. 09-56827 and 10-55084. Appeal nos. 09-56827 and 10-55084 are consolidated. The briefing schedule for the consolidated appeals is as follows: the opening briefs and excerpts of record are due June 28, 2010; the consolidated answering brief is due July 28, 2010; and the optional reply briefs are due within 14 days after service of the answering brief. All parties on a side are encouraged to join in a single brief to the greatest extent practicable.
Somehow the repeated refusal of the courts to allow Kreep and Taitz to separate their cases reminds me of the classic 1958 movie, The Defiant Ones.
Did you know? The name of Tatiz’s dental practice is “Appealing Dentistry.”
Same old, same old
In my recent article, Talking points, I was musing on how same arguments recirculate and get the same answers on forums and web sites like this. The same principle applies to the Obama lawsuits. Orly Taitz has brought five federal lawsuits, one in California, one in Texas, two in Georgia, finally one in the District of Columbia. They all bring basically the same allegations against President Obama, although the scope of the allegations seems to grow.
All of the cases that have been decided so far suffered from the identical flaw. Orly Taitz and her various defendants do not have a case that a federal court has jurisdiction to hear. The government’s response to each similar case case was itself similar. In the final case yet to be decided, Taitz files another variation on the same theme and the government’s motion to dismiss filed last Friday (February 26, 2010) was all so familiar.
In prior cases, the defendants’ complaint was generalized and not particular to them and so the court could not hear it. In this most recent case, Taitz v. Obama in DC, Orly alleges personal harm: mainly the risk of her losing her license to practice law, death threats and sabotage or her car. In this case, the case fails on the second requirement for a federal lawsuit: there has to be a direct connection between the plaintiff’s actions and the harm. Orly cannot show that she is in danger of disbarment (or any of the other allegations) because of Obama’s citizenship. She has been sanctioned and faces disbarment for filing frivolous lawsuits. Perhaps in her mind Obama is to blame for all of her troubles, but this is just in her mind.
Expect a speedy dismissal of this lawsuit too.
[Note: other Taitz lawsuit losses are being appealed.]
Attorney Taitz appeals for UN protection
According to an article yesterday in the Washington Independent, Birther attorney Orly Taitz has appealed to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights for protection.
A letter from her attorney, Jonathan Levy, says:
Taitz has “been the victim of death threats, vandalism, false complaints, and a suspected assassination attempt” in the course of her efforts to expose Obama as a fraud, adding that “her reports to law enforcement and the judiciary have been ignored.”
Obama treason trial – mark your calendar
Pastor James Manning of the Atlah Worldwide Ministries and Long-Legged Mack Daddy Obama Hating Society in Harlem, New York, has, in a new video, announced the Columbia Obama Treason Trial for 14 – 19 May, 2010.
In the video Manning presents the transcript of the trial. (This is possible because it is a “show trial” and not a real trial with cross-examined witnesses and a defense.) The transcript discloses the shocking news that President Obama, rather than attending Columbia College, was actually busy carrying out missions for the CIA. Obama is supposedly fluent in Farsi and attended university in Pakistan and the Soviet Union. [I really didn't make this up.]
Obama funneled CIA arms to the Taliban
Manning says the CIA had Obama in charge of funneling arms to the Taliban to fight the Soviets, but of course the Taliban was only founded in 1996. I guess he means the Mujaheddin.
I keep being burned by Manning posting and then pulling his videos off YouTube, but I’ll try this once more.
I find it funny that the government silences everyone on Obama conspiracy issues except all the people out there hawking the theories. 
An interview with Phil Berg
Philip Berg
From the Race 4 2012 blog, comes a new interview with Phil Berg, Obama nemesis attorney. It’s an interesting read. Here are a couple of teasers:
“I think he traveled his entire life on an Indonesian passport”
“But even if he were [born] in Hawaii, he would have had his birth certificate in Kenya.”
The interview, I assume transcribed from a recording, appears to have the occasional misinterpreted word.
Joseph Farah demands a retraction from Newsweek
Joseph Farah
Newsweek, a major American print magazine has called Farah a “birther”. In a special web edition article titled Know Your Conspiracies, Newsweek’s David A. Graham wrote:
1. Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
It’s not clear where he must have been born instead: some say Indonesia; some say Kenya (initial suggestions that Hawaiian natives weren’t citizens when he was born in Honolulu in 1961 were quickly dismissed). The point, so-called birthers say, is that he wasn’t born in the good old US of A, hence isn’t a natural-born citizen and therefore cannot legally be president.
Proponents: Chief birther and Beverly Hills dentist and attorney Orly Taitz, WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah, Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.), former presidential and Senate candidate Alan Keyes, assorted tea partiers.
Kernel of Truth? It’s fully debunked. Forged Kenyan birth certificates have been exposed, and—despite protestations to the contrary—Obama’s birth certificate has been certified by the state of Hawaii, and images have been shown on national television. And that’s leaving aside plenty of circumstantial proof, like birth announcements in both major Hawaiian papers from August 1961.
It would be hard to look at the pages of Farah’s web site, WorldNetDaily.com or his front web site WesternJournalism.com and not conclude that Joesph Farah was the biggest birther of them all. But wait! Farah says “no.” (more…)
Obama’s Social Security number
Social Security Card
Crusading birther litigant Orly Taitz, DDS, Esq. has adopted the President’s Social Security number(s) as one of her major themes. This was repeated just last week in a filing with the DC federal court, as reported here at Obama Conspiracy Theories. So what’s her beef?
Taitz claims fraud on the part of Obama for (1) using multiple Social Security numbers, and (2) using the Social Security number of someone else.
39 Social Security numbers
In her most recent filing Taitz wrote:
I submitted an affidavit from a licensed investigator Neil Sankey, showing that according to most reputable National databases Lexis Nexis and Choice Point Barack Obama used as many as 39 different social security numbers, none of which were issued in the state of Hawaii, where he resided. (Submitted as an exhibit with the complaint)
I have looked at various filings available from the courts, and I have not personally seen the list of 39 Social Security numbers. What I have seen is various lists of names similar to Obama, mostly living at Obama’s former Chicago address and all having the same Social Security number. From where I sit, I have no documentation available to me that Taitz’s claim is true, and if it is, I would question the accuracy of these databases, which are essentially credit reporting databases aggregated from various sources usually without any verification. We do not know what matching criteria were used to say that these were our president Barack Obama. It all seems rather far fetched. (more…)
Great work.
