The National Tea Party Convention, which wrapped up Saturday night with a televised speech by Sarah Palin, offered an outlet for some of the fouler strands of modern conservatism that had long been bubbling beneath the surface of the Tea Party movement.
Tea Party leaders had worked hard to keep the public face of the movement focused tightly on a small government, anti-tax message, largely steering clear of social issues, and appeals based explicitly on race. But this weekend, from the podium at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Hotel, convention speakers espoused birtherism, anti-immigrant nativism, homophobia, Christian fundamentalism, and an apparent nostalgia for racially discriminatory barriers to voting. …
To some extent, the expansion into wider territory was due to the nature of the convention itself. Since details of the confab were announced, numerous Tea Party activists have complained that the event’s organizers aimed to co-opt the Tea Partiers’ energy for the benefit of the broader conservative movement and the Republican Party. It was perhaps inevitable that those more organized interests couldn’t be kept at arm’s length forever. In her speech, Palin even began grafting an aggressive national-security policy onto a movement that has shown strong isolationist tendencies, to the extent that it has had a foreign policy at all.
Still, this wasn’t an entirely hostile takeover. It’s true that overt Christian fundamentalism has always been firmly on the margins of the movement. But it’s never been hard to detect an element of right-wing cultural grievance lurking beneath the surface — even on ostensibly economic issues like health-care or government spending — as several observers have noted. “Where’s the birth certificate?” signs — and worse — haven’t been hard to spot at Tea Party rallies, and some more radical anti-government activists have been welcomed at movement events.
So maybe what we saw this weekend was something more like the dark underbelly of the Tea Party movement rising to the surface. Not that Sarah Palin seems to mind.
Hello everyone. I am announcing here now on 02.07.2010 that I, Lucas Daniel Smith, and Charles Edward Lincoln III, have canceled our plans (plans posted here on the forum on 02.03.2010) to run for Lieutenant Governor and Governor of California.
Upon a more precise review of qualifications for candidates we have ascertained two things: (1) Charles Edward Lincoln III is not eligible to run for said office. (2) I, Lucas Daniel Smith, might be eligible to run for said office but it would entail much “stretching” of the law.
I don’t know that I should “stretch” the law when running for government office all the while demanding that Barack Obama needs to demonstrate? that he is eligible to hold Office of President of the United States of America.
I’ll keep my eye out:
InspectorSmith
I want to thank everyone that has notified me that they have sent personal checks to me. I have not received any of the mail yet but will when it arrives I will leave the mail unopened and will place it in a priority mail flat rate envelope and mail it back to the return address. Signature confirmation will be attached to each priority mail envelope.
Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq., in an interview with what some regard as the Russian propaganda services network, “Russia Today,” speaks for the American Tea Party movement before patriotically denying the legitimacy of the head of the United States government:
Fortunately, the interviewer was better informed than Orly on that matter.
In the interview, Taitz also claims that 99% of ‘Baggers are Birthers. That’s even higher than indicated by a recent California poll. But she also said the 9/12 ‘Bagger protest in DC could have had as much as 4.5 million people, which is entirely false. So, you always have to keep in mind that Orly Taitz says anything that pops into her empty head.
Today, Sunday, February 7th, marks a very important date in history for American Grand Jury. We are pleased to announce the joining of forces with the Honorable Dr. and Pastor James David Manning of Harlem (Atlah), New York. …
Dr. Manning is an American Patriot with unquestioned spirit, drive and ability. We are marveled by his daily energy and commitment to awaken this Country and expose the evils within our society. One such evil is Barack Obama. At risk of life, career, family and followers Dr. Manning has directed a relentless campaign to expose Obama for the treasonous fraud that he is. When you look at Dr. Manning, you look a real man that lays it all on the line. …
Forthcoming within the next few days will be details of just how American Grand Jury will be involved. We will be a part of the “Columbia Trial” organized and directed by Dr. Manning. We will take marching orders from his organization. If he asks us to jump, our response will be, “how high?”
From Doc Conspiracy, news of a truly Birfoonish campaign by Phil Berg:
I received an email from Phil J. Berg, Obama denialist litigant, and confirmed that it’s the same as what appears on his web site, ObamaCrimes.com. Berg is planning a “Birth Certificate March on Washington.” That in and of itself is in my opinion silly, but what is totally wacko is this:
Berg is requesting all citizens of the United States to email, fax or mail a “copy” of their Birth Certificate that will be presented to Obama demanding that Obama resign because he has failed to produce his long form [vault] Birth Certificate to show he is “Constitutionally eligible” to be President.
…I bet the scam artists are already casing Berg’s office for the robbery of all that juicy personal information.
I don’t who is more out of their mind, the person who would ask for something like that, or the person who would send their personal information to a fax number or an email address they found on the Internet.
Gaylord, they paid $100,000 for this. RUN SARAH RUN
The 18th Century Teleprompter:
Energy Budget Tax Cuts
Lift American Spirits
Mean Sarah:
Wow. This was the Palin we saw at the 2008 Republican convention, the snarling pitbull in shimmery lipstick. I know journalists aren’t supposed to use words like mean and dumb, but I can’t help it. Palin is one of the meanest people on the public stage today. She wallows in it. She loves it! Also? Possibly one of the dumbest. But mean works, and so does dumb. And so do lies, and there were many mean, dumb lies in her speech. …
How rich that she read her talk in a sing-song voice as she ripped Barack Obama for using a Teleprompter. Once she left the speech for the Q&A, she really went off-message, as well as nearly off-English. (Even though it looked like, at one point, she was reading answers off of her hand.) “They’re not knowin what are we gonna do if we don’t have Tea Party support” was one of my favorite head-scratchers, a great echo of “when Putin rears his head.”
This is pretty classic. A week ago GOP Rep. Jeb Hensarling (TX) was telling Chris Matthews about the glories of the House Republicans’ draft 2010 budget, filled with plans to cut and privatize Social Security and abolish Medicare. But as news began to spread this week about the draft plan prepared by chief House Republican budgeteer Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Republican leadership, especially Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) started acting like they barely knew anything about it.
That brings us up to today, when Republicans sent Rep. Hensarling to give the response to the president’s Saturday radio address. So what he say about the draft Ryan plan?
Not much. Hensarling for some reason used the whole time to talk about House Republicans’ 2009 budget. In other words, an outline plan from last year about the year that already happened and was actually panned at the time for not including any details and even including a lot of fake charts.
So what’s the deal? The House GOP is getting behind a budget which calls for partial abolition of Social Security and full abolition of Medicare. And they’re on the air talking about last year’s budget? Maybe Obama should talk about the Clinton surpluses? What’s the big need to hide what they’re actually proposing for next year?
Peter Beinart: “Obama isn’t nearly as scared of the terrorists as Bush was, and that’s why he’ll beat them.”
…Conservatives keep saying that Obama doesn’t really believe we’re at war; that he sees terrorists as mere criminals, not the epic evil-doers that they really are. But here’s the irony: It’s precisely because he doesn’t see the terrorist threat as quite so epic that al Qaeda is falling apart…
…In countries like Pakistan and Jordan, where al Qaeda keeps slaughtering innocent Muslims, its public support has fallen off a cliff. During the Bush years, the only thing that kept al Qaeda from complete ideological collapse was Muslim hatred of America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, our unblinking support for Muslim dictatorships and for Israel, and our use of torture at places like Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay.
Now Obama, by pledging to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and close Gitmo, and by eschewing torture—in other words, by not overreacting to the terrorist threat—is cutting al Qaeda’s throat. Although the U.S. government is still not exactly loved in Muslim nations, it is hated less. Between 2008 and 2009, according to Gallup, approval of U.S. policies rose 23 points in Tunisia, 22 points in Algeria, 19 points in Egypt, 17 points in Saudi Arabia and 13 points in Kuwait. In Indonesia, according to the Pew Research Center, approval of the U.S. rose 26 points. And not coincidentally, al Qaeda’s slide seems to be accelerating. Between 2003 and 2009, according to Pew, support for Osama bin Laden has dropped 34 points in Indonesia, 28 points in Pakistan, 28 points in Jordan, 20 points in the Palestinian territories, 16 points in Lebanon and 13 points in Turkey. In Indonesia and Pakistan, much of the decline has occurred in the last year alone. Bin Laden is having so much trouble demonizing the United States that his last audio tape focused on climate change…
The dirty little secret of the “war on terror” is that America is winning. We began winning during George W. Bush’s second term, when al Qaeda’s violence began corroding its support among Muslims, and we’re doing even better under Barack Obama, because the U.S. now presents a less menacing face. The best chance al Qaeda has is another American overreaction of the kind the GOP demands: reckless military attacks by the United States or Israel, mass profiling of Muslims, a return to torture. Perhaps Obama’s Republican critics do take the terrorist threat more seriously than he does. I’d rather take it less seriously, and win.
In December, when I first heard about this case, I wondered how these two Birther attorneys would introduce Birtherism into a case about car dealers dropped by Chrysler during the automobile industry restructuring.
My eyes glaze over at this business law stuff, so I may have missed something, but I believe Donofrio, Pidgeon never did any Birfing in this case, as originally promised and widely applauded on right wing sites.
The Defense in filing its Objection, however, provided a footnote:
Given their extreme lateness and the absence of any new development in the record or law, it is unclear what has motivated the Movants’ sudden change of heart and request for relief at this late juncture. Although the Debtors have no independent knowledge of these matters, the Debtors have taken note of certain public statements connecting the Motion to a crusade involving the Movants’ counsel to challenge Barack Obama’s legitimacy as President of the United States. For example, one report has stated:
Birthers are launching yet another scheme to challenge President Obama’s legitimacy as President of the United States. The scheme involves a legal maneuver known as “quo warranto,” a prerogative writ requiring the person to whom it is directed to show what authority he has for exercising some right or power (or “franchise”) he claims to hold. This new attempt to get at Obama is a circuitous affair, centering on the Chrysler bailout, and Obama’s authority to use Troubled Asset Relief Program funds to bail out Chrysler. Former Chrysler dealers who lost their businesses as part of the restructuring of the automobile company are filing a legal challenge to that restructuring in bankruptcy court. . . . The attorneys of record are . . . Leo Donofrio . . . and Stephen Pidgeon.
Michael Stone, Quo Warranto: Return of the Birthers, EXAMINER.COM, (last visited January 6, 2010); see also Bob Unruh, Closed Chrysler Dealers to Drive Obama’s Eligibility, WORLDNETDAILY, Dec. 8, 2009, (”Two lawyers have joined forces to assemble a case challenging in U.S. bankruptcy court the federal government’s . . . bail out [of] Chrysler and in doing so may have created a scenario that finally will bring to a head the issue of Barack Obama’s eligibility to be [P]resident.”)
In a Response, Donofrio, Pidgeon requested the footnote be stricken:
In that Footnote, Debtors’ Counsel improperly attempts to psychoanalyze the motivations of our clients in bringing the Motion to Reconsider by making reference to news reports which discuss non-related Constitutional causes which have absolutely nothing to do with the Motion before the Court. Footnote 13 is an entirely improper attack upon Movants’ and their Counsel by way of reference to controversial lawsuits which Movants’ Counsel have been involved with. Such distractions serve no purpose before this Court other than to distract, confuse, and delay justice by throwing dirt in the Court’s eyes.
Yesterday, Chief US Bankruptcy Court Judge Arthur J. Gonzalez, in the Southern District of New York, ignoring the Birther sideshow, issued an Order based on pleadings—Donofrio, Pidgeon never asked for a hearing—denying the Motion to Reconsider and an accompanying Opinion. The reconsideration motion had alleged a “fraud on the court” perpetrated by Judge Gonzalez due to “reckless disregard for the truth.”
While the Movants argue that the Court overlooked certain facts and case law, they then cite to the Court’s reference to the same facts and cases in the Court’s Opinion. In other words, for the basis of what they allege the Court overlooked, the Movants cite to the Opinion itself.
Thud.

Dave Weigel, who is there, notes there are 150+ reporters covering 600 Teabaggers at their National Tea Party Convention. When you consider that Netroots Nation routinely draws four or five times that number at its annual gatherings, and there has never been anything like this kind of press coverage, shouldn’t the fawning media start asking itself why they are so willing to collaborate in building this anti-government beastling into a beast?
Politico covers the coverage very thoroughly, without ever asking themselves my question.
If you ever thought there was a difference between the two, listen to the applause Joseph Farah of World Nut Daily receives from the assembled ‘Baggers at their National Tea Party Convention.
This was the event where Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. was begging to be invited to speak, but I don’t know if she is present or not. Her name does not appear on the Schedule of Events.
There are reports that the Tea Party Convention organizers are planning a press conference today to denounce Birtherism, after Joseph Farah’s speech last night.
It seems a little late to start worrying about it, the day after the keynote speaker unleashed a full-on paranoid Birther rant to a cheering audience and a standing ovation.
And it’s not as if anyone can claim they didn’t know what Farah was going to talk about — World Net Daily is wingnut kook central, with a permanent section of the front page devoted to the latest crackpot Birther fantasies.
But some people want us to think they didn’t see it coming; for example, Andrew Breitbart.
After finding himself on the receiving end of widespread criticism and unfriendly hashtags on Twitter, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has announced that he now considers Twitter messages and social networking as terrorist threats. He is quoted in this Spanish-language news report as calling for more state control over the internet. The Great Firewall of… Venezuela?
You’ve heard of Tea Party candidates. They are sometimes one and the same with Birther candidates, but it is less embarrassing to call themselves Tea Party candidates than Birther candidates. Well, now we have a ticket for state-wide office that simply can’t be beat and must be called “The California Birther Ticket.”
For Governor: Charles Edward Lincoln, III
For Lieutenant Governor: Lucas Daniel Smith
For Secretary of State (or Attorney General): Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.
I didn’t know they were all speaking to each other. Well, that’s nice. No hard feelings.
Orly Taitz has been threatening to run for public office. This week she visited 1700 East Garry Street to find out the requirements for running for California Secretary of State or Attorney General. Thinking it was the office of the California Secretary of State or the Orange County Registrar of Voters, perhaps, she visited the Elections Committee of the County of Orange.
I decided to check out possibility of running and called Orange County elections office. nobody answered. I left two messages, nobody called back. I drove to the office at the 1700 E Garry Str, ste 231, Santa Ana CA. The office is locked, no schedule of working hours.
I wonder: if one wants to run for office, how does one register, picks up forms, how does one communicate?
The person in charge of elections is Democrat Debra Bowen, whom I sued twice for not checking the credentials of the candidates, specifically Obama’s credentials.
I am very busy, can one of my supporters reach her office and let her know, that I am considering running and would like to get necessary forms, but the elections office is locked and nobody answers the phone and nobody returns phone calls.
OC Weekly, her hometown newspaper, laughs and laughs:
This is hilarious. Why?
Well, there’s no government office at 1700 E. Garry Street in Santa Ana. What’s there, though, is the Elections Committee of the County of Orange. Otherwise known as ECCO. Otherwise known as one of the oldest LGBT political advocacy groups in Orange County.
Dr. Taitz is many things–dentist, lawyer, mother, activist, karate master–but there is one thing she is not: a gay-rights activist.
To put a fine point on it, this is a woman seeking public office, who can’t even find the proper office to pick up the necessary forms, in the place where she lives. But! At least she lives there.
Lucas Smith, while knowing the exact filing fees to the penny, doesn’t seem to know that he and his friend CEL3 are supposed to have to have lived five years in the State of California to run for Governor or Lieutenant Governor, according to the California Constitution. But there is a conflict with the US Constitution, so they may be okay. And if they’re not, just think of all the lawsuits they could file in the years to come against a nearly bankrupt state.
CALIFORNIA, here we come!
Charles Edward Lincoln III is planning to run for Governor of California (2010).
I, Lucas Daniel Smith, am planning to run for Lieutenant Governor of California.
As Governor of California Charles Edward Lincoln III will challenge Barack Obama’s eligibility to hold Office of President of the United States of America. Charles Lincoln and myself will demand that Barack Obama provide the people of this country will a certified copy of original birth record. We will exhaust all remedies and powers that are afforded to the Governor of California in regards to challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to hold Office of President of the United States of America.
Opportunity is upon us. I don’t know how to ask this in any other fashion other than to just ask in plain, straight to? the point, English. Charles Lincoln and I (Lucas Smith) need financial contributions to run for the said Offices in California.
First are the filing fees for candidates.
California Governor (2010) is $3,479.74.
California Lieutenant Governor (2010) is $2,609.80.
Lucas Smith assures us:
InspectorSmith
Every dollar will be accounted for. All financial contributions received which surpass the filing? fees will be accounted for down to the 100th of a dollar. A comprehensive record of all financial contributions received will be posted online as well as all expenditures drawn from these funds.
No dollar will be left unaccounted for.
I am whipping out my checkbook this red hot minute. Come on. If you can’t trust Lucas Smith, who can you trust? This is just a stop on the road, though, for Lucas. He plans to run for President in 2016.
Heh. I don’t even believe these jokers. They’re just trying to take the spotlight away from Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. and con a few Birfers out of a few bucks.
By the way, Spencer Kornhaber tweeted:
Orly Taitz’s website destoyed my computer. Talk about Obummer.
It’s not for nothing I am no longer linking to her web site.
Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) has put an extraordinary “blanket hold” on at least 70 nominations President Obama has sent to the Senate, CongressDaily (sub. req.) reports. The hold means no nominations can move forward unless Senate Democrats can secure a 60-member cloture vote to break it, or until Shelby lifts the hold.
“While holds are frequent,” CongressDaily reports, “Senate aides said a blanket hold represents a far more aggressive use of the power than is normal.”
Shelby has been tight-lipped about the holds, offering only an unnamed spokesperson to reporters today to explain them. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid broke the news of the blanket hold this afternoon after Shelby announced it to him in a letter sent today. Reid aides told CongressDaily the hold extends to “all executive nominations on the Senate calendar.”
You’ve seen the reports that Sen. Richard Shelby (R) of Alabama has taken the perhaps unprecedented step of placing holds on ALL of President Obama’s nominees until he gets the money for a couple of big earmarked pork barrel projects he feels entitled to back in his home state. …
This is more like just a stick up. Gimme my money and I’ll give you your Senate back! Worse than a squeegee man and not much better than a bank robber, Shelby is shutting down the president’s ability to appoint anyone to anything until he gets his way. In a sense Shelby’s gambit is little different from what countless other senators of both parties have done in the past, using the senate rules to get the White House’s attention to pry some money free from the federal government. But the scale is unheard and the moment is different. The only mystery about this one is which is more outrageous — Shelby’s hold or the fact that the rest of the senators of both parties allow it.
Perhaps, like so many other times, this will be today’s outrage that is the new normal by tomorrow. But this are volatile times. And I wonder if this isn’t the live wire in the gasoline.
The national poll of likely voters asked: “Would you rather see a balanced budget with higher taxes or a budget deficit with tax cuts?” A 41% plurality would rather have budget deficit with tax cuts, with 36% calling for higher taxes and a balanced budget. The internals of the poll show Republicans favoring deficits and tax cuts.
“The partisan differences on the questions are notable,” says the pollster’s analysis. “While 50% of Republicans would rather see a budget deficit with tax cuts, a plurality (46%) of Democrats favor the opposite approach – a balanced budget with higher taxes. Voters not affiliated with either party are evenly divided on the question.” …
Another Rasmussen number finds that only a very small minority knew the correct answer to this one: “Is the following statement true or false? Most federal spending is spent on only three programs–Social Security, Medicare and national defense.” The correct answer is “True,” but only 35% answered that way, with a 44% plurality saying false.
Interesting moment from Obama’s speech this morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, per the White House transcript:
Civility also requires relearning how to disagree without being disagreeable; understanding, as President [Kennedy] said, that “civility is not a sign of weakness.” Now, I am the first to confess I am not always right. Michelle will testify to that. [Laughter.]
But surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith, or, for that matter, my citizenship. [Laughter and applause.]
The Obama team has been generally reluctant for him to directly engage the most visceral conspiracy-mongering about him, perhaps out of a reluctance to elevate it. The comfort level with poking fun at the “birthers” suggests the White House may see birtherism as permanently marginalized and discredited.
From Reality Check blog talk radio, 9PM 8PM tonight:
I will review the Meroni v McHenry County Grand Jury case from Illinois.I have invited the pro se plaintiff, Sharon Meroni, aka Chalice Jackson of Patriot Hearts Network to call. WILL SHE SHOW??
Most of the records from this case are now available on Jack Ryan’s SCRIBD page. Now we know exactly what the plaintiff wanted in the super secret case where even the plaintiff’s name was secret. Now we know the details and the outcome. What’s next? Maybe Chalice will be able to tell us.
The most skillful lawyers from Politijab just might call and discuss why the plaintiff’s motion was denied and whether any significant issues were raised in the case.
This matter coming before the Court for ruling on the Petitioners motion, all Parties being present, and the Court having considered the Petitioners motion that was originally filed before this Court, It is hereby ordered: The Petitioners motion is denied. There is no legal precedent that allows the Petitioner the particular redress that is sought.
The Public Record:
1 – Dec. 2, 2009 – Petition and Order to Sue or Defend as Poor Person; Emergency: Petition – For Redress before the McHenry County Grand Jury.
2 – Dec. 3, 2009 – Notice of Motion, filed by Petitioner.
3 - Dec. 4, 2009 – ORDER of Reassignment; Assigning case to Judge Prather.
4 – Dec. 7, 2009 – ORDER Setting Hearing for Jan. 13, 2010.
5 – Dec. 16, 2009 – Emergency: Motion to Reconsider – Emergency Petition for Redress Before the McHenry County Grand Jury.
6 – Dec. 16, 2009 – ORDER (1) Denying Motion to Reconsider (prior finding that motion does not qualify as an emergency); (2) Ordering State to Retain “four sealed packets” provided by petitioner until Jan. 13, 2010 hearing.
7 – Jan. 7, 2010 – Response to Emergency Petition for Redress before the McHenry County Grand Jury, filed by People of the State of Illinois.
8 – Jan. 13, 2010 – ORDER Setting Motions Hearing for Jan. 20, 2010.
9 – Jan. 20, 2010 – Amended Filing: Motion to Set Aside and Motion for Exception, filed by Petitioner; 9A – Exhibits to Petitioner’s Amended Filing.
10 – Jan. 20, 2010 – ORDER Denying Petitioner’s [original] Motion.
Thank you to Bad Fiction for the docket compilation and for handing Sharon “Chalice” Meroni her false-witnessing, oh-so-Christian, traitor’s heart on a platter.
Bed. Made. Lie.
“Petitioner learned from a Patriot’s Heart volunteer, right after her name was published in the NW Herald, that her private information was sent out to a large community specifically dedicated to following, and in many cases creating mischief, to “Birthers,” as they call their targets. This group was purposefully posting information in their community about her professional Linked!n profile and personal Facebook profile in-order to call attention to her background for their further uses, and to “reveal to all” who Chalice Jackson is, and as a natural act for them as they pursue their mischief making at the expense of ‘birfers’. (Under Politijab exhibits)”
You mean the information that was freely available FROM YOUR OWN WEBSITE???
“Politijab is an organization, less than a year old, which has an Internet forum as its public base of communication. This forum has a public section and one for members only. The members’ only section is where threads to the birther posts are accessed. The purpose of this community is primarily to counter what they label as the “Birther” or “Birfer” community. Since inception, they go out to other internet groups where birther communicate together to wreck havoc amongst these communities. Arguably, some engage in public debate on issues they are passionate about. Additionally, some purposefully with organization and with bravado seek to dismantle and destroy those they call Birthers along with their respective communities.”
And yet it’s funny that their legal track record is so good in predicting birther cases that one Sharon Meroni ACTUALLY WENT TO POLITIJAB to discuss her legal questions. Funny thing that.
“With blood in the water, they slash a’nd flail for food, attacking and critiquing her every word; degrading her answers, her views, and her religious faith.”
“WAHHH!! They didn’t believe everything I demanded they believe!!”
Update: I hear that Meroni filed a motion this week in the circuit court and went before a different judge; that motion, too, was Denied. The most recent motion and the Court’s Memorandum Opinion and Order should be available on the court’s filing system by early next week. I will post links to those documents at that time.
On Jan. 20, I implored the court to seal my petition(s) (pp. 60, 75); … when I learned that someone “went through the process” to get the actual documents, I rushed into court yesterday to seek a TRO to prevent their publication …
Public records, Chalice, transparency and all that.
Christopher Earl Strunk, a “living soul,” has filed 81 pages of the crazy in a Motion to Intervene in Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.’s Quo Warranto, filed on January 27, which has not yet been granted leave by the DC District Court, as far as I can tell from the docket, although Taitz is claiming on her web site* that Judge Royce Lamberth has agreed to hear the case.
Having “fired” the “Usurper”—otherwise known as Barack Hussein Obama aka “Barry Soetoro” aka “Steve Dunham” aka “Birdie Obama”—on January 23, 2009, Strunk seeks a Temporary Restraining Order so that the “Usurper” will “cease and desist” performing duties as President of the United States until the court orders Congress to throw the “Usurper” out the door, in favor of Joe Biden.
In addition to a whole lot of other crazy, Strunk says he is owed more than $21.5 million plus legal costs, because:
The Plaintiff sues the Defendants for unjustly detaining the Plaintiffs goods and chattels, as the Usurper, Barack Hussein Obama, is ineligible to be the President of the United States Trustee / Administrator over any United States Departments and Secretaries with fiduciary responsibilities and the Usurper having been denied use of Plaintiffs power of Attorney on January 23,2009 has by Usurper’s continued actions that are void ab initio, including the waivers issued as to Defendant Secretaries and others, pillage Plaintiff’s personal property..
In a stamp applied over the Oath of Office taken by President Obama, Mr. Strunk assures us, he is, “In the special appearance”:
not a corporation; [but a] Living-Soul; Son-of-the-Most-High-God-Yaweh in existence nunc pro tunc the moment of Creation; Joint-Heir-With-His-Son Made Debt-Free with the Yashua; Payment (consideration) of His Blood; I Stand in the Kingdom of the Most-High-God Yaweh; Under reserve, without dishonor, without prejudice, without recourse in good faith, no dolus.
While attempting to enter the case as a third party intervenor, he warns the Clerk of the Court that he, Strunk, accepts no third party intervenors, so watch it, Clerk:
Should you refuse to record My documents, once deposited with you, you are committing a crime under Title 18 USC § 2071 and it is punishable by fines and imprisonment. If your attorney told you not to file any documents like mine, you are still responsible, as I do not accept any third party intervener’s. Any attorney, district attorney, or anyone from the lawyering craft are all third parties and do not have a license to make a legal determination in this matter as they do not represent Me and you, the county clerk, and do not have the authority to represent Me.
The stamp across the “Oath of Office” in Exhibit A reads (typed transcription):
Your” offer of contract is received and accepted for value. Timely, and without dishonor and with consideration IS RETURNED to “You” redrafted of my choosing WISHING NO CONTRACT with “You” in full accord under the UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (U.C.C) and FAIR DEBT COLLECTION REGULATION Z, TRUTH AND LENDING.
1. I do not know “You”
2. I do not know where “You” come from.
3. I do not understand “Your” intent.
4. I do not recognize “You.”
5. “You have fail(ed) to comply with 26 USC 6065 and others which require “Your” wet-ink autograph under the penalties of perjury.
