He admits it now, which is good. A whole lot of people are fooled by email hoaxes, God knows, so a little (teeny, tiny) bit of sympathy is appropriate.

Apparently the article I quoted from below was a hoax; However the challenges I raised about the legalities and the legal profession are real; just as Obama’s fraud upon the public has always been the case. When I wrote the article I did not know that the “story” I based my comments on was false. This article will be removed – because of the designed HOAX in the original story – but the Actions of the Supreme Court, the White House and Obama himself constitute the real deception here – if I had known in advance of course I would not have written the article.

Jim Kirwan 6-18-9

I should hope the hell not.

The problem is Jim Kirwan, or anybody else writing about Obama’s time at Occidental College, could easily have known the April Fools Hoax was a hoax: known that Obama did not attend Occidental College as “Barry Soetoro”; Occidental never released the student records; Obama did not receive a Fulbright scholarship for foreign students; the Associated Press did not publish the hoax “article”; the British Daily Mail never published one called “Obama Eligibility Questioned”; the Supreme Court declined to hear Leo Donofrio’s case, not the other way around; Gary Kreep, executive director of United States Justice Foundation, called the April Fools Hoax a hoax.

It was all rather efficiently debunked and debunked soon after the emails began circulating.

Kirwan wouldn’t have written nonsensical paragraphs such as this one:

This immediately brings up a number of direct conflicts of interest that in themselves create several indefensible positions for the fraud that Barack Hussein Obama, formerly Barry Soetoro, truly appears to be. How could Obama the lawyer not know that he took grant money for financial aid, from the Fulbright Foundation that was intended only for foreign citizens? How then to square this with his supposed Naturalized American-citizen status that he claimed in order to run for president? He cannot be both things in the same person; especially not at the same time.

About two minutes on Google and he’d have had the truth. Kirwan didn’t bother. What’s more, his begrudging acknowledgment of his own negligence reads like a whiny child’s he did it, Ma, not me!

But the very worst part of this, and other such episodes, is that Birthers like Kirwan, (much like their PUMA predecessors), are so ready and willing to take at face value, with no questioning whatever, any amount of fabricated horse shit placed under their noses—so long as it sufficiently undermines the Obama Presidency.

For illustrating this sorry aspect of Birfistani “thought,” I belatedly commend the April Fools Hoaxers, whoever they may be.

Two of three people arrested in a southern Arizona home invasion that left a little girl and her father dead had connections to a Washington state anti-illegal immigration group that conducts border watch activities in Arizona.

Jason Eugene Bush, 34, Shawna Forde, 41, and Albert Robert Gaxiola, 42, have been charged with two counts each of first-degree murder and other charges, said Sheriff Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, Ariz.

The trio are alleged to have dressed as law enforcement officers and forced their way into a home about 10 miles north of the Mexican border in rural Arivaca on May 30, wounding a woman and fatally shooting her husband and their 9-year-old daughter.

Forde is the leader of Minutemen American Defense, a small border watch group, and Bush goes by the nickname “Gunny” and is its operations director, according to the group’s Web site.

Birther David Farrar, fresh off the recent invasion of the Open Government Dialogue website, and after a year’s absence, has arrived at Talking Points Memo.

Careful, Josh. Farrar is not the looniest of these loons, by any measure; you won’t see Farrar suggesting the President take a spin in an open convertible in Dallas. But where one Birther goes the rest of the swarm will follow and more of them are off their rockers than not. TPM’s moderators should be kept very busy this coming week or two before the spewers and spammers move on to another venue.

***

All is not lost? In a second thread posted by Farrar in two days:

As I have stated, due to our earlier discourse, I now see Barack Obama as a U.S. citizen. There has been progress, undoubted progress.

Now the last remaining issue is the “natural born” clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Here is a new one for the list: James W. Von Brunn.

A security guard and two other people were shot today inside the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in downtown Washington, authorities said.

U.S. Park Police said a gunman armed with a shotgun opened fire on the security guard and that other security guards returned fire. The gunman was reported wounded.

The shooting was reported to police at 12:52 p.m., and officers rushed to the scene just south of Independence Ave. bordering the Mall.

Scores of police and emergency vehicles converged on the scene, blocking 14th Street, a major artery between downtown Washington and the Virginia suburbs.

D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department spokesman Alan Etter said there was no immediate information on the shooter. He said two men were transported to a hospital with “serious” gunshot wounds.

One witness, Dave Unruh, of Wichita, Kan., said he was waiting to enter the museum when he heard one gunshot, then a sequence of four or five gunshots. He said he then heard someone scream, “Hit the floor!” He and his wife, Karen, and their two teenage grandchildren dropped to the floor and were subsequently herded out of the building by authorities.

Unruh called the experience “intensely, extremely frightening.”

By 1 p.m., the street in front of the museum was blocked by a museum police officer. A group of schoolchildren was rushed onto a chartered luxury coach and the bus driver struggled to pull away from the block.

Washington Post

Talking Points Memo posted a bio of the suspect from a white supremacist website.

This is from his bio, apparently written by himself or someone sympathetic to him: “In 1981 Von Brunn attempted to place the treasonous Federal Reserve Board of Governors under legal, non-violent, citizens arrest. He was tried in a Washington, D.C. Superior Court; convicted by a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys, and sentenced to prison for eleven years by a Jew judge. A Jew/Negro/White Court of Appeals denied his appeal. He served 6.5 years in federal prison. (Read about von Brunn’s “Federal Reserve Caper” HERE.) He is now an artist and author and lives on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.”

And guess what!!

And may be not just hardcore Neo-Nazis on the right who liked Von Brunn’s work. A recent screed he wrote about President Obama’s birth certificate was posted on Free Republic, the conservative site.

But clicking on the Freeper link won’t bring you to this Right Wing Domestic Terrorist Birther’s post—not anymore.

This thread has been pulled.

FreeRepublic actually has some sane conservatives posting to their site, and they must be mortified by this. Good for the site admin not wanting to be associated with that post, but I wonder how long it was up there. Giving a forum to nutjob extremists is always a tricky business.

Here is a Birther post by Von Brunn in a different venue.

Von Brunn’s Wikipedia page has undergone a good scrub today, too.

Here is what it said:

User: James W. von Brunn, b.1920, attempted to place the Federal Resrve Board of Governors under legal, non-violent citizens arrest, 12-7-81. Von Brunn charged the FED with treason and other high crimes. The FED, a private stock-company, owned by International bankers, financed the construction of manufacturing plants in the Soviet Union during the “Cold War.” War materials, produced by FED financed plants, were used by the Enemy against American military forces in Viet Nam, and elsewhere.

Von Brunn was tried and convicted by a Washington, D.C. kangaroo court; then sentenced to eleven years in federal prison by Judge Harriet Rosen Taylor; the sentence was confirmed by a racially motivated Appeals Court. Von Brunn was imprisoned for 6.5-years.

Von Brunn champions Western Culture,and the practice of Eugenics. He states that Marxism-Multiculturalism-Judaism is the Enemy of Mankind.citing Talmudic quotes to “Kill the Best Gentiles !”

Von Brunn was president of his college fraternity, SAE. He served as PT-Boat captain, USNR, during WW2, earning 4-battle stars and a Commendation Ribbon. His early business career was in NYC as copywriter, art-director and film producer; later as a real-estate broker; and lastly as a writer-artist.

This is an old man, a WWII veteran. It’s a shame he went to the dark side. I can’t help feeling rather sad for him, but nowhere near as sad as I feel for the victims and their families.

Never again let be said that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano didn’t have her head screwed on right with that right wing domestic terrorism report.

They’re out there and they are coming in.

They are all settled in, nice and cozy, and posting the same insane things they always post; repeatedly and repeatedly and repeatedly. When they’re not doing that, they are weeping and wailing about how closed Open Government Dialogue is, because it is about government reform and not about birth certificates, in particular, and unfair! to Birthers, because other members get to vote the lunatics off the island. They never leave, unfortunately, but it’s always nice to vote.

There was this illustrative little gem buried in the commentary, which apparently came from a Hawaiian newspaper comment section:

Birther: The fact that it is a COLB proves that Obama was born in Kenya. People born overseas were issued a COLB, while people born in Hawaii received a Birth Certificate.

Reality: Since 2001, the State only issues certified COLBs; no other form is issued.

Birther: The birth certificate is fake. It was printed from a computer; They didn’t have computers in 1961.

Reality: The birth certificate was printed from the state vital records database in 2007 and certified by the state.

Birther: Hawaiian law allows people to register foreign births of children, Obama was born in Kenya but his birth was registered in Hawaii.

Reality: No such law existed in 1961. If President Obama was born on Friday Evening, August 4, 1961, how did the birth get registered on Tuesday, August 8, 1961? Did his mother fly from Kenya to Honolulu with a three day old child in her arms? (on a 1950’s era airplane, at that).

Birther: The Hawaiian Governor sealed the records so that no one can see where he was really born.

Reality: Why would the Republican Governor of Hawaii do that? No one “Sealed” the records, they are just protected under the same privacy (and anti-identity theft) laws that protect everyone else.

Birther: His Grandma said he was born in Kenya.

Reality: No she did not. That is a false claim perpetrated by one of the con-men looking to make money off this scam. The actual tapes show quite conclusively that his grandmother and other relatives stated that he was born in Hawaii.

Birther: He became an Indonesian citizen when he moved there with his parents and since Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship, he must have renounced his U.S. citizenship.

Reality: President Obama lived in Indonesia from age 6 to age 10, when he moved back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. The supreme court has clearly stated that it is not possible for a minor child to renounce their U.S. citizenship.

Birther: His father was a British Subject, thus under British law, Obama was born with dual citizenship. Therefore he can not be a natural born citizen.

Reality: Laws of a foreign country have no bearing on how the U.S. chooses it’s leaders.

Birther: Vattel says that if his father was not a citizen, then he can not be a natural born citizen.

Reality: Vattell was a Swiss philosopher who had nothing to do with the crafting of the Constitution. In fact, Vattell himself admitted that under the British system in place at that time, the mere fact of birth within the realm was sufficient to grant natural born citizen status to a person regardless of the status of the parents.

Birther: In Minor v. Happersett, the judge ruled “It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.” Parents is plural therefore both parents have to be citizens.

Reality: The term “Parents” is a collective noun, just like the term “Children.” Or are you suggesting that anyone who is an only child is not a citizen?

Birther: Obama flew to Pakistan in 1981, U.S. citizens were banned from travel to Pakistan, therefore Obama must have used a Indonesian passport.

Reality: There was no travel ban to Pakistan for U.S. citizens. In fact, due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan and the U.S. were close allies at that time.

Birther: Obama has spent tens of millions of dollars trying to hide this document.

Reality: Most of the cases don’t even list him as a defendant, so there is no proof he spent any money on them at all. In the case of the Alan Keyes lawsuit, President Obama was represented Pro Bono.

Birther: The fact that it is a COLB proves that Obama was born in Kenya. People born overseas were issued a COLB, while people born in Hawaii received a Birth Certificate.

Reality: (Sigh)

You see.

Scott Roeder called The Associated Press on Sunday from the Sedgwick County jail where he’s being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the death of Dr. George Tiller.

Tiller was killed last Sunday while serving as an usher at the Lutheran church he attended in Wichita.

Roeder told the AP he know of “similar events planned around the country” as long as abortion is legal.

He would not elaborate.

For someone new on the job, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano sure knew what she was talking about.

The man, identified as Daniel James Murray, is charged with making threats against the president of the United States.

He recently withdrew $85,000 from a Utah bank and told a teller: “We are on a mission to kill the president of the United States,” according to court papers.

Murray is originally from New York, but was seen several times in late May in St. George, Utah, making bizarre statements at a bank.

According to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Utah, Murray opened an account at Zions First National Bank on May 19 with a $85,000 check.

“With all this mess going on under President Obama with banks and the economy, I’m sure if citizens happen to lose their money, they will rise up and we could see killing and deaths,” he said, according to the criminal complaint.

On May 27, he returned to the bank and tried to withdraw $12,000, but lacked proper identification.

“Not to be disrespectful, but if I don’t get this money, someone is going to die,” Murray said, according to the criminal complaint.

A bank manager was summoned and Murray was allowed to withdraw the money without proper identification.

Murray would not accept a check and demanded bills no larger than $50, the complaint says.

“We are 94 million miles from the sun, and are in between the sun and moon, and the eagle that flies between them and it’s a giant step for mankind. … I have traveled thousands of miles to be here and know things that are going to happen. … the banking system will fail and people will die. … there will be chaos in the world,” Murray said.

He then made his threat against the president, the complaint says.

The next day, Murray returned to the bank, withdrew the rest of his money and closed the account.

Authorities do not know where Murray is and said he has been seen driving a blue 2001 Buick LeSabre with New York license plate number ERL 1445.

CNN

I have a question: Why was this potential political assassin not reported to police and arrested in between visits to the bank?

Now extending its evil reach inciting delusional disorder among wingers to the White House Open Government Initiative.

It doesn’t take much inciting, anyhow, Birthers being Birthers.

Ignore this recollection of Obama’s school teacher, who knew the obstetrician who delivered him and talked with him the night of the birth.

Teacher from Kenmore recalls Obama was a focused student

By Paula Voell

When Barack Hussein Obama places his hand on the Bible today to take the oath of office as 44th president of the United States, Barbara Nelson of Kenmore will undoubtedly think back to the day he was born. It was Aug. 4, 1961, at Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu.

“I may be the only person left who specifically remembers his birth. His parents are gone, his grandmother is gone, the obstetrician who delivered him is gone,” said Nelson, referring to Dr. Rodney T. West, who died in February at the age of 98. Here’s the story: Nelson was having dinner at the Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach with Dr. West, the father of her college friend, Jo-Anne. Making conversation, Nelson turned to Dr. West and said: “‘So, tell me something interesting that happened this week,’” she recalls.

His response: “Well, today, Stanley had a baby. Now that’s something to write home about.”

The new mother was Stanley (later referred to by her middle name of Ann) Dunham, and the baby was Barack Hussein Obama.

“I penned the name on a napkin, and I did write home about it,” said Nelson, knowing that her father, Stanley A. Czurles, director of the Art Education Department at Buffalo State College, would be interested in the “Stanley” connection.

She also remembers Dr. West mentioning that the baby’s father was the first black student at the University of Hawaii and how taken he was by the baby’s name.

“I remember Dr. West saying ‘Barack Hussein Obama, now that’s a musical name,’” said Nelson, who grew up in Kenmore and went to Hawaii in 1959…

Buffalo News

And this statement from the State of Hawaii Health Department:

CHIYOME LEINAALA FUKINO M.D., DIRECTOR, HAWAI’I DEPT. OF HEALTH
Phone: (808) 586-4410
Fax: (808) 586-4444

For Immediate Release: October 31, 2008 08-93

STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO

“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.

“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.

“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”

Confirmed by Hawaii Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo:

Does this mean Obama was born in Hawaii?

“Yes,” said Hawaii Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo, in both email and telephone interviews with the Tribune. “That’s what Dr. Fukino is saying.”

An examination of the infamous and oft-mis-cited taped interview with Obama’s African step-grandmother, performed by Dead Sea Scrolls scholar Gregory Doudna:

The full tape transcription makes clear that this phone conversation has not been represented accurately. There never was a statement by Sarah Obama at any point in this phone call saying or intending to say that Barack Obama Jr. was born in Kenya. Sarah Obama herself said that Obama was born in Hawaii and never said differently. There was a confusion over the meaning of where Mrs. Obama was “present” when Obama was born in Hawaii, but not over whether Obama was born in Hawaii.

And (oddly enough) World Nut Daily itself:

A separate WND investigation into Obama’s birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic. The investigation also revealed methods used by some of the bloggers to determine the document was fake involved forgeries, in that a few bloggers added text and images to the certificate scan that weren’t originally there.

Ignore all of it and you, too, can be a Birther!
