Berg reschedules rally for October

Philip Berg

Crusading anti-Obama attorney, Philip J. Berg has set the new date for his massive rally to promote his opposition to everything Obama, including the president’s ineligibility and what the right wing call “Obamacare.” (They will have to eat that word if Obamacare ever becomes as popular as Medicare is today.)

In a letter emailed to supporters just minutes ago, Berg announced that The Obama Birth Certificate / Eligibility / ObamaCare Rally will be held in Washington on Saturday, October 23, 2010 – U.S. Capitol – West Front, unless it gets postponed again.

You can meet Phil Berg in person tomorrow. He will be handing out leaflets at the Glenn Beck rally in DC. The full press release is on Berg’s ObamaCrimes web site.

Post & Email suffers from too much success

by Dr. Conspiracy on 28. Aug, 2010 in The Blogs

Some web hosting plans limit the bandwidth (the total amount of information allowed to be transferred during a period of time) and when that’s exceeded, they either cut you off, or they charge you extra.

The Post & Email appears to have hit the bandwidth wall on a cheap plan.

Taitz pays up

by Dr. Conspiracy on 28. Aug, 2010 in Lawsuits, Orly Taitz

Despite what you may have heard, erstwhile attorney Orly Taitz, her appeals exhausted, has paid the $20,000 in sanctions imposed by federal judge Clay D. Land in Georgia, for her misconduct in the Rhodes v. MacDonald case.

Taitz still hopes to get her money back, having asked the District Court to reconsider (again) in a filing last Wednesday (Aug 26, 2010). I must say that she does a much better job redacting her bank account number than she does Barack Obama’s Social Security number.

On the back of the check she wrote:

paid under protest as illegal extortion to cover obama’s fraud

Fake grand jury writes real FBI

by Dr. Conspiracy on 28. Aug, 2010 in American Grand Jury

The “American Grand Jury” a set of volunteers with a political agenda, have written a letter to the FBI, expressing alarm about an ineligible president, and “demanding justice.” What is remarkable about the letter (which has been passed around in emails) is that it contains the names of 3,058 signers.

I don’t feel comfortable publishing names, but the rest of the letter follows: (more…)

Hamrick v United States et al

by Dr. Conspiracy on 28. Aug, 2010 in Lawsuits

US Merchant Seaman Don Hamrick of Arkansas has sued the United States, all 9 justices of the Supreme Court, and “putative President” Barack Obama for $14.4 million in a 395-page complaint filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia.

Judge John D. Bates was seen with a dazed expression leaving the court after issuing his order dismissing the suit sua sponte, mumbling something about the rules requiring complaints to be short and to the point. [Just kidding]

Is this an Obama eligibility case? You think I read that thing? I think not, though. It’s mostly a Second Amendment case. There was something about machine guns in there. It does talk about standing and RICO and stuff you seen in some eligibility lawsuits.

H/t to Phil and the McClatchy Blog, Suits and Sentences.

Republicans prove Obama American born (updated)

by Dr. Conspiracy on 27. Aug, 2010 in Wild & Wacky

We’ve talked about polls saying 27% of Republicans think Barack Obama was not born in the United States. What can we infer from that? Let’s assume that this significant following of the idea is some measure of its truthfulness, so on a scale of 0 t0 100 (in a Republican world), the truth of the claim Obama was born in Africa is “27″.

About half of Republicans surveyed, almost twice as many as believe Obama wasn’t born in the US, also believe that the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) was enacted under the Obama administration, not Bush. This is, of course, historically false.

So, logically, we may assume that the probability of Obama being born in Africa is less than the TARP being enacted under his administration. Calibrating our 0-100 Republican belief scale in to real probabilities, we see that the probability of Obama being born outside the United States is actually zero.

[Note for the humor impaired: I don't really believe that this is a rigorous mathematical argument.]

Update: (more…)

Obama conspiracy fails to make Alter.net top ten list

by Dr. Conspiracy on 26. Aug, 2010 in Misc. Conspiracies

Alter.net has published its Top 10 Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories list, and the birthers didn’t make the cut. Is this part of the conspiracy, to keep Obama conspiracies down? Here I thought I was doing a heroic job battling one of the biggest lunacies of the age, only to find out that it’s not even on the list.

According to the article, the importance of Obama’s election was not in creating new conspiracy theories, but in increasing paranoia among those enmeshed in existing theories. For them, Obama is only the incarnation of the New World Order, not its essence.

Today, hundreds of Patriot groups around the country are actively preparing for the declaration of martial law, some of them by mapping wilderness areas, learning how to set booby traps, studying and practicing guerrilla warfare tactics, and setting up short-wave radio communications systems. The question is not if, but when, the New World Order will come crashing down.

I guess the story that a baby was born in Kenya pales in comparison to the military bio-weapons program attacking the US with the avian flu or a national declaration of martial law.

One obligatory note: some of the conspiracies listed are not exclusively those of right-wing conservatives.
