From Huffington Post:

NAIROBI, Kenya — American-born jihadi Omar Hammami says in a new video that he fears members of his own Somali militia group may kill him over differences of opinion.

Hammami, known as Abu Mansur al-Amriki, or “the American,” appears in a video saying he has disagreed with his comrades in the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militia on Islam’s Sharia law and strategy. The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified.

Hammami is the most visible of foreign fighters in the ranks of the al-Shabab, Somalia’s most dangerous militant group, that is trying to topple the country’s weak U.N.-backed government.

There was speculation last year the bastard was killed, but no such luck.

DETROIT, March 9 (Reuters) – An FBI agent testifying
in the trial of seven Midwest militia group members accused of
plotting anti-police attacks, said Friday he participated in
training that included explosives after infiltrating the group
posing as a truck driver.

David Brian Stone Sr., leader of the Hutaree militia group,
instructed members on ambush tactics and the use of explosives,
some of which were detonated during a training session in June
2009, agent Steve Haug said during the federal trial in Detroit. …

The seven Hutaree members on trial are accused of plotting
to kill a police officer and then ambush any funeral procession
for the officer using home-made explosive devices, to spark a
larger war against the U.S. government. …

Federal agents seized machine guns, unregistered short-barrel guns, ammunition, explosive devices and materials that could be used to make bombs during their raids.

Greatkim raised an interesting issue at The Fogbow:

Birthers. They would not be possible without the internet. In our virtual community of liars and lawyers one thing emerges clearly: the more you debunk the more they gain traction, momentum. So let me state the reason for which, as time passed, I have changed my status from active blogger to curious lurker. The ringleaders are absolutely not interested in the eventual outcome of the “challenges”, nor are they interested in diminishing the President. They are interested in something more lasting: building and legitimizing a community of right wing extremists. Fascism does not need a thinking community, nor does it need a debate, fascism needs a community resentful of established powerhouses and profoundly anti-intellectual (we are seen as such). Obotism is seen as manifestation of the most hated characteristic: intellectualism. Fascism needs strong leaders and Arpaio, far more than Taitz, represents the fascist ideal of the DUX. So beware of Arpaio, he is IMHO by far the most dangerous of them all.

Greatkim was answered by Tolland:

At one time, Arpaio might have once been dangerous. I believe him now to be a bumbling old man who is about to be tried for criminal activities that resemble what we saw in the Third Reich. He may lose his re-election bid IF the citizens of Phoenix turn out to vote. Richard Mack or Michael Badnarik might conceive of themselves as being the needed strong man. However, the strong man of fascism need not arise from law enforcement.

So who this person might be depends upon finding the “ringleaders” of Birferism for whom Birferism is only a tool on their way to shaping a fascist state. I think that Taitz is outside this conspiracy; she has her own twisted agenda based on hatreds and fears.

What I see as the danger is Christian fascism. It bears a resemblance to Italian fascism and a little less resemblance to Nazi ideology.

Since 2005, when US District Court Judge for the Northern District of Illinois Joan Lefkow lost her husband and mother to murder, by a litigant who didn’t like her verdict, physical security for judges and other court personnel has been greatly tightened.

Her concerns, shared by many in the federal court system, were a major force behind the adoption of the 2007 Court Security Improvement Act, which directed the U.S. Sentencing Commission to examine its sentencing guidelines relating to threats posted on the Internet. Her concerns also led to the establishment of the National Center for Judicial Security by the U.S. Marshals Service.

Judge Lefkow, after the horrible deaths in her family, also raised the issue of Internet security:

In addition to calling for improved access to security personnel for federal judges, Lefkow has also spoken out on the issue of increased Internet security for public officials, calling for a restriction on posting of judges’ addresses and other personal information on the Internet. (A white supremacist, angered by one of Lefkow’s decisions, had posted pictures of the Lefkow family and their home address on the web.)

Recently, Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. spent a good deal of time rousing the Birther rabble who follows her against Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi, tracing his surname, his genealogy and residence, and God only knows what else:

Malihi’s background appear to show, that he is an Iranian Muslim. While the administrative court of Georgia shows lengthy bios of other judges, there is only a blank page as a background of Judge Malihi.

If there is a need to wonder why, just think of Judge Lefkow visiting her loved ones in the cemetery.

Taitz posted* on February 15:

Is Obama’s decision to destroy 80% of our nuclear arsenal, a payoff to an Iranian Muslim judge, who had Obama cornered with no identification papers and let Obama got scot-free???

Suddenly this corrupt judge decided that Obama can be on the ballot. I researched the background of this judge and found out that he is an Iranian Muslim, who live in Boston and went to Boston University law school the same time as Obama went to Harvard. There is a good possibility that judge Michael Malihi and Barack Obama knew each other for some time. While there ae bios of every judge in the administrative court of GA, there is no bio for Malihi. There is no evidence of him working for any firms. …

The question is, who is judge Michael Malihi, does he still have ties with the radical Muslim government of Iran?

On March 3, Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. posted to her web site*:

People need to know, who they are. they need to know, who needs to be tried for treason. Their neighbors need to know, how dirty they are. Let the neighbors of corrupt puppets like judge Land, judge Malihi, judge Wright know, that they are corrupt and dirty. Let their spouse feel embarrassed, that they are married to such dirty and corrupt individuals”. We need people on the public sidewalks in front of the houses of the dirty sold out traitors, who sit on the election boards and allowed the usurper Obama on the ballot and in the White House. Let the family of this corrupt commissioner Dumezich be embarrassed to be related to him, let his children be embarrassed to have such a corrupt scum for a father. We need the children of these corrupt commissioners in NH know, that they should be ashamed of their parents. Same with all the other corrupt commissioners, corrupt congressmen, corrupt judges, secretaries of state and so on. Until know there was no consequence for treason. Now there is a consequence: A scarlet “T” for traitor.

About the children, notice how much she cares, unless they are her own.

In another post* on the same day:

Now people can see, that I was not able to get the original birth certificate in Hawaii not because I did not do enough, but because corrupt judges like Nishimura, corrupt attorney General Luie, corrupt Deputy Attorney General Nagamine, Director of Health Fuddy, registrar Onaka are simply corrupt and treasonous and belong on the gallows for treason. …

Now a corrupt Fulton county judge Cyntia Wright … This woman should be hanging from the gallows for high treason against the United States of America. Same goes for corrupt judges Clay D. Land, Royce Lamberth, corrupt commissioners from the ballot law commission in New Hampshire, corrupt commissioners of the elections law commission in Indiana, corrupt Attorney General Eric Holder, corrupt director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, corrupt Congressmen, corrupt directors of news networks, who told their cameramen not to film the proceedings, not to report on high treaon and forgery and fraud in the White House. … We have to bring protesters in front of their homes, stand on public sidewalks and shame them. we need to remember their faces and their names, when it is time to try them for high treason.

She has written to the Attorney General of Mississippi:

Please, advise me within 7 days, whether you will agree with above requests. If I do not hear from you within 7 days and if criminal action is not brought against Obama and members of the Executive Committee of the Democrat party of MS, I will be filing a motion with Judge Coleman and Justice Dickenson, asking them to bring sue sponte charges against Obama, Executive committee of the Democrat party of Mississippi and against you personally for all of the above felonies and high crimes and misdemeanors.

And to New Hampshire:

Petitioner would like to remind Mr. Bill Gardner, Secretary of State of New Hampshire, Mr. David Scanland, Deputy Secretary of State of New Hampshire, and each and every member of the Ballot Law Commission, that the penalty for High Treason is life in prison or death penalty.

Lady High Executioner is on to something with this tactic. Disbarment, we hope.

Defamatory, egregious, over the top statements made by an attorney in the course of legal proceedings to improperly influence those proceedings are against the rules in every state, even California:

California Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 5-100. Threatening Criminal, Administrative, or Disciplinary Charges.

(A) A member shall not threaten to present criminal, administrative or disciplinary charges to obtain an advantage in a civil dispute.

(C) As used in paragraph (A) of this rule, the term “civil dispute” means a controversy or potential controversy over the rights and duties of two or more parties under civil law, whether or not an action has been commenced, and includes an administrative proceeding of a quasi-civil nature pending before a federal, state, or local governmental entity.

MrBrown on The Fogbow notes:

The recipients of her correspondence are all attorneys and they know there is no such thing as “High Treason” in regulations covering elections, nor is there any Death penalty or life in prison for this fictitious “High Treason” she has been spouting more and more, as of late.

She’s not really filing a motion – Orly is writing to excite her Flying Monkeys and incite them to action. She’s deliberately trying to fan the flames of rage that were sparked in the stupidest people in America by that fake Posse with their fake ‘evidence’ into physical action.

She’s announcing to her Flying Monkeys that violence against public officials is justified, and now’s the time.

Going on four years now, the seditious, naturalized (allegedly) American citizen, who probably can’t, but should be deported for her subversive activities, has thought nothing of putting others in danger by posting irresponsibly the personal identifying information of many private individuals, as she has repeatedly of the President of the United States. She has promoted violent sedition multiple times; as she promised in 2009:

As for guns, etc. if it comes to that, then I have no guilt. I and millions of us did not start this, but we are going to finish it.

She has advocated the interference by foreign governments into American government affairs and subverted the United States Military.

This is a so-called “officer of the court.” This is a Republican candidate for United States Senate. Put a “T” on her forehead for treason. She’s stepping across the line here from paper terrorism to domestic terrorism. She should be disbarred. She should be sent back where she came from and put on a no-fly list so she can never return. Should one of her gun nut, anti-government flying monkeys, God forbid, decide to open fire on some judge she is defaming, Orly Taitz should go to prison.

To file a complaint with the State Bar of California, go here. The State Bar of Georgia might be interested.

To report threats made against Federal Judges and court personnel, contact the U.S. Marshals Service, Judicial Security Division.

Also report threats against public officials, law enforcement or private individuals to the FBI: Tips and Public Leads.

To contact the Secret Service, go here.

For three years, Birthers have whined that their tall tales about the circumstances of President Obama’s birth and citizenship have not been heard “on the merits.” Through 87 court cases, with zero wins, from deepest Birfistan would come the cry, like clockwork, the case was not heard “on the merits.” All they needed was to be heard, just once, “on the merits.” In fact, Ankeny v. Governor of Indiana was heard “on the merits,” with a judicial conclusion drawn on natural born citizenship. Birthers, if ever, rarely refer to this precedential Opinion, showing Birthers lost this argument back in 2009.

On Friday, in Concord, New Hampshire, the state’s Ballot Law Commission, chaired by leading Republican attorney, Bradford E. Cook, patiently sat through Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.’s presentation of her 85-page challenge, a mindless collection of Birther claptrap, rife with errors of fact pervading fantasy. They heard it all “on the merits” and she lost, 5-0.

Taitz’s statement, following the hearing, that the Board was composed of all Democrats is a lie. There are currently three Democrats and two Republicans, reflecting the appointment process and current political makeup of the state.

Taitz’s claim that there were one hundred supporters at the hearing is a lie. There were four hearings scheduled, as the chairman announced, having different sets of attendees. Not all of them could have been Birthers. Taitz was scheduled to appear fourth. She was heard first, at her request, because she had flown in all the way from California.

Her claim that the Social Security Administration was still using an earlier geographical issue practice for SSNs in 1977, when the young Obama was first going to work in a Honolulu ice cream parlor, is a lie. The SSA centralized issuance of SSNs in 1972; and the web site cautions, “The Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.”

President Obama’s grandmother did not volunteer to work in the probate department of the Oahu Circuit Court, as Taitz told the Commission, where she might have had access to SSNs of dead people. Mrs. Dunham volunteered in the area of probation involving juvenile offenders, as an arbitrator in the Juvenile Monetary Restitution Program.

Taitz’s agreement with a commenter on her web site that “Obama’s trip to NH on Tuesday was to tie up the deal”; her answer to a question, did the President “go to NH last Tuesday for real?” that “it was on the news,” is a lie. The President was out of the country last Tuesday, as the world knows. He will be in New Hampshire tomorrow, when he will be pushing Congress to extend the payroll tax break for the middle class. People like the ones in the room in Concord, the treasonous bastards who want to overthrow the democratically elected president (if they can’t execute him).

Orly Taitz lies all time. In the “merits,” the lies are packaged, not for a courtroom or other hearing quarters, but for her gullible supporters to remain convinced she and they have the least idea of what they are talking about. When Taitz was asked by Chairman Cook if she had evidence of an authoritative nature to present, not opinion or speculation, which could back up her challenge, she had no choice but to answer, “No.” That was one time she didn’t lie.

On the other side of the argument, the Board had, if not legal precedent they might have considered, historical precedent. President Obama had already been accepted on New Hampshire’s ballot previously. He qualified for election to his current office when he was certified by the United States Congress, where the legal responsibility ultimately lies, where he was not subsequently impeached. He sits in the big chair in the Oval Office, this very day, as proof of his eligibility to serve as President of the United States. How could the Commission find him ineligible for the New Hampshire presidential ballot?

The Ballot Law Commission’s mission is informed by Statute created by the New Hampshire Legislature. Taitz, as usual, did not build a case remotely near the area of the Commission’s jurisdiction, but in the Birthers’ imaginary world of “merits.” Not that she could have won, but that’s why she lost.

Here, now, is the full hearing on video, where you can see Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq., as she grows wilder and wilder, losing any sense of proper decorum, if she had any to start with; boldly and immediately ignores an order by the chairman to leave the President’s family out of it; and irrationally insults and threatens the members of the board she is soliciting for a response favorable to her cause, belittles opposing counsel and abuses a witness on the stand.

She couldn’t have won, in any case, but she sure could have lost better than this.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Georgia militia supporter goes on trial Tuesday charged in a bizarre plan to take over a rural Tennessee courthouse and serve a “citizens’ arrest warrant” on local judges and law officers.

Records show Darren Wesley Huff, 41, of Dallas, Ga., traveled in April 2010 to the Monroe County Courthouse between Chattanooga and Knoxville with a handgun, an AK-47 and ammunition after telling FBI agents he was planning to join in making citizens’ arrests.

The takeover threat was in support of a Monroe County activist who in a written warrant had declared the local officials and others, including President Barack Obama, to be “domestic enemies.” The citizens’ arrest warrant identified the officials as “domestic enemies” and described the president as an “illegal alien, infiltrator and impostor.” …

Huff has identified himself as being involved with the Georgia militia and the anti-government OathKeepers group but in pre-trial filings asked that the court prevent prosecutors from making any reference to those groups kicking him out after he was charged.

List here of senior terrorists killed during the Obama presidency from Jake Tapper, who says:

Remember when Rudy Giuliani warned that electing Barack Obama would mean that the U.S. played defense, not offense, against the terrorists?

If this is defense, what does offense look like?

The more dead terrorists, the better, in my opinion. The two Americans assassinated-in-war, in Yemen, went to war against their country and never worried about ‘due process’ when organizing and promoting death for innocent people. I find it extremely hard, nay impossible, to give a shit they are dead and treating them as stateless armed combatants, rather than American citizens, is okay with me. I have no doubt President Obama did the right thing and did it legally. However, I recognize there is a national discussion to be had, and Rachel Maddow has it here:
