When will the media (FOX) included let We the People in on the eligibility issue of Obama?

Media Blackout in Obama Georgia Ballot Eligibility Case

By Cindy Simpson

Last week, I noted that Obama turned his back not just on Arizona's Governor Jan Brewer, but also on the laws of the State of Georgia.  I closed my column, "Georgia Ballot Challenge: Obama Walks on By," with the observation: "And most of the media has followed along right behind him."

At the time, I had just witnessed an historic hearing that actually discussed the eligibility of the sitting president of the United States to run for a second term.  The president had been subpoenaed to appear, and instead of his attorney respectfully following protocol to have that subpoena recalled, both Obama and his attorney, Michael Jablonski, simply failed to show up at all or offer any defense whatsoever.

Isn't there a headline in there somewhere?

The hearing proceeded as planned, even though the table for the defense was empty.  Attorneys Van Irion and J. Mark Hatfield presented their cases first and offered compelling arguments -- not regarding Obama's birthplace, but rather that the non-U.S. citizenship of Obama's father precluded Obama's "natural born" eligibility under the Constitution and existing Supreme Court precedent.  Attorney Orly Taitz, however, did present interesting evidence that questioned the validity of Obama's birth certificate and questions surrounding his Social Security number.

When the hearing ended, the media in attendance almost literally pounced on Taitz.  Irion and Hatfield and their clients had left the premises earlier, while Taitz was still presenting her case; however, Irion asserted to me that not one member of the press stopped them on their way out.  Doubtless the media did not want to discuss the law -- they'd rather write their usual stories on the birth certificate and interview the one they've dubbed the "birther queen."

Attorney Taitz handled herself well, even though the press taunted her with rudeness and leading questions she has doubtless experienced many times.  After the reporters finished letting Taitz feel the full extent of their contempt for both her and the entire morning's event, they packed up to leave.

I walked up to one particular reporter from one of the prominent mainstream entities, noting that he seemed frustrated that he didn't get a clear answer from Taitz to one of his questions, and I informed him that I did know the exact answer, if he'd like to hear more about it.  He said no, he didn't.  I asked then, wasn't he a reporter, and why did he ask the question if he didn't want the answer?  And as I was speaking, he turned and walked away from me.

The same thing happened with another reporter from another major network.  He had asked Taitz why no one cared that there were past presidents who had fathers not born in the country.  I explained to him that it was not the place of birth of the presidents' fathers that was the issue, but rather the status of their citizenship at the time of their sons' births.  The reporter scoffed and told me that that was just my opinion, but when I attempted to inform him that it was also the opinion of the Supreme Court, he turned and walked away from me while I was in mid-sentence.

Does this behavior seem familiar?

Even though I saw reporters from every major network on the scene, the actual reporting of the event was scant -- primarily only in blogs or local news.  Google "Georgia Ballot Challenge" and note the non-mainstream coverage of the event.

Rachel Maddow must not have gotten the memo, though, because she dedicated a full 8 minutes of her January 26 show to telling her viewers why they should "feel almost duty-bound as a patriot to ignore" the hearing and not to "dignify this nonsense or elevate it by paying it any attention."  Not only were none of the legal points addressed in the hearings brought up by Maddow, but Maddow excused the extraordinary fact that Obama and his counsel, instead of respecting the law, had simply snubbed it, calling the case "ridiculous."

As Sunny of Sunny TV points out in this hilarious but uncomfortably true video, "Tyranny is as Tyranny Does"; "[l]et's just hope the next President is just as benevolent as Obama because they could really use that power for bad."  At the end of the clip, as Sunny pretends she is Obama, issuing orders right and left, she points to her crown and says: "This makes me in charge."  As Teri O'Brien noted in her interview discussing Obama's penchant for walking away from those with whom he disagrees, "[g]ods don't debate.  They issue decrees."

Attorney Irion, in this follow-up letter from his Liberty Legal Foundation, pointed out: "Yesterday President Obama completely ignored a court subpoena, and the world shrugged."

Yes, Obama shrugged, and the media has shrugged along.  Irion further noted:

I don't know what it is that's going to finally energize this nation but I feel a rumbling growing from the Congress unable to control itself with our nation's money to the "Occupy Movement" to the disruptive Republican debates, to the blind and deaf media, through to the dismantling of our process of law by Obama and the democrat machine. I believe we're at a cross road of United States of America history and we seem unable to take control of our own destiny.

Hey Folks,

I suspect we won't be taken away without a fight. We need to stick together and do all we can to protect freedom of the internet and each other from the cold, clammy hands of the feds.

I have a seat already, they infiltrated me two summers ago. I dont care. I will continue to write letters and make noise. I lived my life. I have Grandchildren I do not want them to live in fear or be slaves to a government. It is so hard to believe people are not getting it yet. Im sick of being told I'm making too much of this and to calm down, that this is America and we have a Constitution. Really? I'm sick of false flags to scare us. The food safety bill, and many others. The worst of course is the NDAA. Now  the Internet and on and on. Telling us what to eat. GMO foods, vaccines that are dangerous and forced on little girls. Sorry....I ranted.

Well Tami, save me a seat because they'll be picking me up as well.

[Tami H Dycus]

i dont undestand anything anymore. because I care about my county and dont wont to see it destroyed, im labeled a radical and a racist. neither of which are true. i try so hard to weed threw all the media garbage to try and find some truth. i used to be a diehard fan of fox news. i dont even watch tv news anymore. i now use the internet and groups like this one to try and form an honest assestiment of what is happening in our govt. and it scares the hell out of me. at this point and time if obama doesnt get out of office people like me and my fellow patriots will all be rounded up and jailed just because we care. I cant belive that American "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" is being destroyed by the people elected to protect it.

[valerie eggers]

I agree with you both and am seriously considering abandoning Fox myself. I am tired of "representatives" who do nothing for the cause of a Constitutional America and media that follows suit. I don't know how much longer we will all have the net but w/o it we have no way to learn the truth and/or communicate with each other. We would in essence be "underground." 

[Teresa Smith]

I weaned myself off Fox. I listen to conser. radio only now. Lots of local too. I see Agena 21 has a strong hand with city commishes. I KNOW there are many many groups prepping and learning and are awake. However, there are many who choose to think, Hey this is America. I do agree with Our Dear Leader on one issue....we are spoiled. Many dont want to get their hands dirty and do not have the "know how" to do many things. Garden, Handy with tools ect. We must learn to bake bread and fend for ourselves...even if we win the election, we are so deeply in debt and there are too many Rhinos that need to go. I think he has no fear because his little OWS  usless idiots will be paid to riot and create destroy cities so O can call Martial Law. My personal belief. Pray Im wrong....but have been preparing for almost two  years for the worst.

[Jim Delaney]

Good post, Wayne.

I no longer question why the news blackout. I think we all know why. I'm much more concerned about what We the People plan on doing about it. When the rubber hits the road, our wise founders included the 2nd Amendment in our Constitution for a very specific reason. I don't rely upon the media or our government to do the right thing. That said, I still hold out hope that patriots haven't forgotten their fundamental duty to maintain constitutional order no matter the personal price.

Soros Forces Fox News Leftward

Fox News Drifting Leftward?

By James Simpson

Cliff Kincaid at America’s Survival has launched a call for Fox News to bring back Glenn Beck.

This announcement comes on the heels of troubling revelations about Beck’s firing and other disturbing trends at Fox.  It quickly got front-page coverage at the Huffington Post, presumably to launch a campaign of ridicule and smears before Kincaid’s idea builds momentum.  No matter how much they sneer, the left is terrified of Beck.

Beck’s firing was the work of George Soros, Kincaid has revealed.  Soros funded Color of Change, the organization founded by Van Jones that launched a boycott against Fox after Beck (really Trevor Loudon) outed Jones as a communist.  But Soros is also behind the groups Jewish Funds for Justice and Media Matters, both of which attacked Beck as an anti-Semite for his reporting about Soros’ activities during WWII.  Soros admitted in a 1998 CBS 60 Minutes interview that as a teenager in Hungary, he had participated in the confiscation of Jewish properties but felt no guilt about it.

The corporate parent News Corporation is under immense pressure in the United Kingdom over the cell phone-hacking scandal involving its now-closed News of the World tabloid.  The founder is aging, the pres

The saddest thing is that our "representatives" are allowing it and in fact complicit.
