Dispatches from Birtherstan - 3-5 December 2011

In today's dispatches, Walter Fitzpatrick is released from jail. We have the return of the birther bill. Thomas MacLeran seems to have a fetish for something with a hair trigger.

Joe Arapaio needs to spend time investigating real crimes. Martha Trowbridge takes a break from Malcolm X fantasies to chant "….any day now…." Fitzpatrick shows jail didn't help his paranoia any. We have video of Dr. Orly making a fool of herself in Hawaii.

Holy Cao finishes the terms of her probation. The Pest and eFail openly goes "sedition? treason? military coups? insurrection? HELL YES!!!" New Jersey may get it's own ballot challenge. Dr. Orly finds someone to support that may just be love at first sight.

Tribble life-support unit Donald Trump is still playing birther games. And the State of Hawaii tells Dr. Orly something she never likes to hear.

3 December - According to VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday), Walter Fitzpatrick has been released from jail.

3 December - Despite their complete and total failure last time around, expect some birther bills to show up in 2012. For example, from Fired Up Missouri….

"If you take the time to mosey on through the list of what's been filed in the House, you'll find this gem, HB 1046, filed by Lyle Rowland of the 143rd district in Southwest Missouri.

HOUSE BILL NO. 1046 96TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Requires proof of identity and proof of United States citizenship for the office of President and Vice President to be submitted with the other required certification documents to the Secretary of State

Such certification shall provide verifiable evidence of identity and of proof of status as a natural born citizen of the United States for each nominee and the origins of such evidence. Such evidence shall be in the form of the most complete record of birth available by the controlling legal authority at the time of the nominee's birth.

It would seem that sheer insanity and birtherism is alive and well in the Missouri legislature. No word yet on whether Speker-to-be Birther Tim Jones has endorsed this piece of legislation.

*Rolls eyes*

4 December - According to "Hear Us Now USA", Fitzpatrick came home to a surprise.

"Fitzpatrick returned home to find his home had been vandalized and robbed in his 13-week absence.

Fitzpatrick has filed a police report on the robbery, and is resting today and recovering from severe weight loss today and his stay in the county jail."

I'm sorry to hear his home was broken into and things were stolen. That being said, I'm rather surprised he didn't have anyone willing to keep an eye on the place during the 13 weeks he was in jail. Has he pissed off that many locals??

4 December - Thomas MacLeran, aka "One Pissed-off Vietnam Vet", gets all threaty.

(Bold face mine)

"Of course we all have weapons; I mean, most of the people reading this are Patriots, believers in the Constitution and the Second Amendment. Oh, if you don’t fit in the above category, consider yourself a target."

Mr. MacLeran might be surprised to find out how many people who disagree with his seditionist little rants also own firearms….

"Okay, now, you Patriots, I want to tell you to handle your weapons every evening. Maybe a good cleaning on Sunday. On Monday practice loading. On Tuesday take inventory of the shells. The point is, don’t let a day go by without handling one of your weapons. Just do it. "

Just don't handle it too much, or you'll grow hair on your palms.

"It’s exactly like combat: we’ve no place to go, and we wouldn’t anyway, because this is OUR country, and we’re not going to give it up to any Socialist/Communist/Fascist/Totalitarian-loving Muslim, no way, no how. They want our guns. I don’t think so. I’m telling each and every one of you, start your training with your weapons, and start NOW. We’re going to have to rely on one another, and we’re going to watch each other’s backs. We not only can do it, WE WILL DO IT."

It's the million moron militia.

4 December - It would be nice if Joe Arapaio spent less time on stunts like his "birther cold case posse", and more time on things like investigating child molestation and assault charges.

"The 13-year-old girl opened the door of her home in this small city on the edge of Phoenix to encounter a man who said that his car had broken down and he needed to use the phone. Once inside, the man pummeled the teen from behind, knocking her unconscious and sexually assaulting her.

Seven months before, in an apartment two miles away, another 13-year-old girl was fondled in the middle of the night by her mother's live-in boyfriend. She woke up in her room at least twice a week to find him standing over her, claiming to be looking for her mother's cell phone.

Both cases were among more than 400 sex-crimes reported to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office during a three-year period ending in 2007 — including dozens of alleged child molestations — that were inadequately investigated and in some instances were not worked at all, according to current and former police officers familiar with the cases.

In El Mirage alone, where Arpaio's office was providing contract police services, officials discovered at least 32 reported child molestations — with victims as young as 2 years old — where the sheriff's office failed to follow through, even though suspects were known in all but six cases."

Sickening.

4 December - We get the "…..any day now…." chorus from Martha Trowbridge (copied at the Pest and eFail.)

"Destruction “Obama”, Holder, and their Gang Of Retaliators have gleefully waged, while lying straight-faced about what they are doing.

Thanks be to God, The Law is finally catching up with them.

I venture to predict, that rather than waging an election campaign in 2012, “Obama” will be waging war against the multiple corruption charges about to smack him upside of the head.

So will Holder.

America, please join me in thanksgiving to Almighty God that justice is soon to be served."

(Rocking back and forth) "…..any day now….he'll be arrested any day now……any day now……he'll be arrested……."

4 December - Fitzpatrick is out of jail, but the paranoia continues at the Pest and eFail.

"Fitzpatrick stated that Wilson “gave up a whole lot of information” when offering him more comfortable accommodations in exchange for his agreement “not to speak with The Post & Email.” He stated that Wilson said in response to Fitzpatrick’s exposure of corruption in Monroe County, “Nobody cares. Back away from it. We’ll move you over to the annex and make you nice and comfortable if you don’t use the phone and call The Post & Email.” Fitzpatrick stated that his response was, “If you give me access to a phone, I will use it.” “They tried everything they could pull to try to get me to cave in on this issue. "

And the chances of this actually have happened rather than pulled directly out of Fitzpatrick's rectum are???

"He estimated that he has lost about 25 pounds while in jail. During that time, a habeas corpus writ was prepared and submitted to the Monroe County court and later, to the Tennessee Supreme Court, but was ignored by both. Neil Turner, a U.S. Army veteran and frequent contributor to The Post & Email, had called for other veterans to help “set our warrior free.”

How did that work out for you, skippy?

"“They’re teaching policemen and sheriffs’ deputies in Eastern Tennessee, naming me as a ‘sovereign,’ meaning that I’m a guy who’s trying to take over the United States by force. They tell me that they don’t think I’m a sovereign, but they’re using me as an example of what a sovereign is. My life is at risk. The FBI may as well have a contract out on me,” Fitzpatrick told us."

Paranoid much Fitzpatrick??

5 December - Birther Report posts video of Dr. Orly's last Hawaiian courtroom date.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

And one gets the feeling the birthers are less than impressed.

"A Real Lawyer Who Knows The Rules of Procedure said…[Reply] What an idiot. Neither Orly nor Jeff LaFrance was listening to the judge. The "amended motion" constitutes A WHOLE NEW MOTION. Orly was supposed to get a new hearing date for the amended motion, serve it, and then the AG gets to file a written opposition to the AMENDED motion. Orly did not do that. If she wanted to proceed on her AMENDED motion she was supposed to withdraw the ORIGINAL motion. IOW, start from scratch. Orly cannot grasp how the rules work. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER, OR WHEN, THE AMENDED MOTION WAS RECEIVED AND DOCKETED. IT IS CONSIDERED A BRAND NEW MOTION REQUIRING A BRAND NEW HEARING DATE AND ALLOWING A BRAND NEW CHANCE TO BE OPPOSED. DUH!!!,

The court gave her an opportunity to proceed on the motion (the ORIGINAL) and Orly chose to withdraw rather than argue her motion. Now she will get a hearing on the amended motion AFTER the AG gets to file a response.

Orly's incompetence was on full display. Thank you, Jeff, for capturing it on video.

Taitz's utter incompetence is all that I see from these videos. She also can't seem to get documents filed properly, although that was moot here because the court was considering only the original motion, not the amended motion.

Is this the case where she put the wrong number on the filing? Or was that a different case?

It's so hard to keep up with Orly's mistakes.

I'm disappointed. Orly has been doing this for a while now. You would think that she would learn to do research into state laws, and file motions appropriately.

This is an extremely important matter and we need an attorney that has more attention to detail.

Why can't Orly confer with the other attorneys on our side? Why can't we get a team together?

What "missing documents?" The Judge even told Dr. Taitz that there were no missing documents. She cited that they had been received… just one day prior to the hearing!!!

These videos are a tragicomic display of Dr. Taitzes completely cavalier approach to the practice of law. She doesn't know the law, she makes no effort to know the rules, and she can't follow even the simplest of instructions associated with court procedures. Among the many things she has never learned is not to confuse activity with accomplishment. With all the time she spends on this issue, you'd think a tiny fraction of it would be well spent on learning how to be a lawyer.

5 December - The Pest and eFail usually tap-dances around the idea of sedition, military coups, civil war, and armed insurrection, but at least Dan O'Brien actually comes right out and states it for the record.

"It is time for the old “Congress of the Confederation” to reconvene operations under the Articles of Confederation; to declare to the world its emergency authority, as delegated by the several States, and then to exercise that authority so as to seize temporary control of the United States government by:

*Ordering the U.S. military, under control of the Congress of the Confederation, to:

*Cordon off and secure the crime scenes known as the District of Columbia, and its territories;
*Secure, indict and hold for trial all U.S. government officials and personnel suspected of violation of their oaths of office, and
*Suspend all operations of that un-constitutional government.
*Taking charge of de jure (rightful) United States of America affairs, by doing business as the United States in Congress Assembled, until such time that the U.S. government house is once again in order to the satisfaction of the several States, and
*Holding new elections to repopulate the government under the antebellum (pre-Civil War) Constitution for the United States.

During this time, the several States may enjoy and exercise their full and unfettered sovereignty, and determine their composure and future standing among other nations."

O RLY?? And by "antebellum (pre-Civil War) Constitution", I take it you're talking about one without those pesky "reconstruction amendments", much less things like allowing women to vote or lowering the voting age to 18, right?

"Obviously, on the day of reckoning, all federal control would cease to exist. Each State government, operating again as a republic, will have anticipated its mandate to become THE government of its people. This will ultimately require a paring down and rewrite of its constitution and laws. The immediate challenge will be to flush out all corruption and remnants of federal control, and to fulfill new legislative and judicial roles, while updating the people on their newfound status as free Americans, with their commensurate need to begin raising their level of self-sufficiency in all future endeavors.

Each State would soon become busy exercising its newly awakened authority to control which foreign corporations (i.e. headquartered in other states) will be permitted to continue doing business in their State. (Let us hope that all those corporations whose products or service have proved to be harmful to important elements of the State will be excluded. Think education, agriculture, banking, insurance, construction, etc.). Each State would also need to reacquire full control of federalized functions within its borders, especially of military, communication, transportation, natural resources, banking, education, and anything else that had not been specifically reserved for the Congress under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

During this time sheriffs will be on heightened alert, and may wish to prepare their constituents in advance to assure their best incentives, activity and cooperation."

It's such a cute little seditionist fantasy……

5 December - Birther Dwight Kehoe decides to play the ballot challenge game in New Jersey.

"It will be my intent, at my own time and expense, to challenge the application of the Democratic Party, for Barack Obama and request that New Jersey do its charge of protecting the citizens and enforcing the law and our Constitutions. "

It's your money to waste if you want to.

5 December - Crazy people of the world, unite. (Malware and redirect warning)

"VERY IMPORTANT! I AM REPRESENTING A DEMOCRAT RUNNING AGAINST BO FOR PRES. I NEED YOUR HELP IN PUTTING HIM ON THE BALLOT IN GA AND AS MANY STATES AS POSSIBLE!!!
Posted on | December 5, 2011"

And who would this person be Dr. Orly??

"consent presidential candidate Cody Judy"

So Dr. Orly is supporting a convicted felon with a history of mental illness and terroristic threats, not to mention running self-serving and delusional political campaigns.

Hell with representing Cody Judy, I'm amazed Dr. Orly isn't SLEEPING with him!!!!!

5 December - Tribble mobility scooter Donald Trump is still trying to play the birther card.

"The New York businessman also said that he would not be making the ‘birther’ issue a part of the debate, but insisted that it was still important.

“Look, the most important issue is jobs. Whether or not he was born here, you know, to me it means something. I guess it doesn’t mean a lot to a lot of people, [but] to me it happens to mean something. The fact that they can’t find any records that his mother was in the hospital - that, to me, means something. A lot of people don’t care. My big issue is jobs,” Trump said."

5 December - In regards to Dr. Orly's ballot challenge in Hawaii, that state's Chief Election Officer tells the nitrous queen "how about 'no'? Does 'no' work for you? What about 'no'??" (Malware and redirect warning)

(PDF of response here)

Dr. Orly doesn't take it well.

"MORE STONEWALLING FROM HI
Posted on | December 5, 2011 |

I received a letter from Scott Nago, Chief Elections officer of HI, claiming no jurisdiction, while in reality he not only has jurisdiction, but also a duty to address the petition and hold a public hearing."

3 days is hardly "stonewalling"

And actually no, no he doesn't have jurisdiction to meet your insane demands. (PDF)

Wow...what a load of crazy out in Birtheristan!

Personally, I hope the FBI, etc. are still keeping an eye on old Walt. I have a feeling he'll be getting himself back into trouble in no time.

Re: Cao - What exactly is a "Diversion" program, and what does it usually entail?

Re: Dan O'Brien & the P&E. Damn, that post is beyond just sedition, it is a demand for full on insurrection! These twisted and sad folks are really pushing the limits of exercising free speech... personally, I feel it crosses the line.

[Glix]

Orly is the worst litigator I've ever seen.

[G]

Glix, that is one hell of an under-statement...

[GeorgetownJD]

I cannot wait for Jeffie's videos of the upcoming Amended Motion.

Arapio has a long history of not investigating rapes and burgerlies and other violent crime.

Back in 2009 the Goldwater Institute did a report on him.

http://goldwaterinstitute.org/article/justice-denied-improper-clearance-unsolved-crimes-maricopa-county-sheriffs-office

"The Tribune recounts the instance of a 15-year-old girl in El Mirage who entered a convenience store and reported a rape to the store’s manager.
Paramedics took the girl to a hospital, where evidence of sexual assault was found.
The sheriff’s office dispatched a detective from the special victims unit to the hospital, but thereafter it appears no investigation whatsoever took place. Yet less than a month later, MCSO closed the case as “exceptionally cleared,” despite having no suspect and while still awaiting DNA evidence"

"The Tribune reviewed 350 violent crime files and found no evidence of MCSO investigations
of 18 armed robberies and 12 sexual assaults"

This has been going on since 2007. Murder rate has skyrockted in Joe's domain while dropping in other parts of Arizona. There are tens of thousands of unserved felony warrants. Police either have to drive hours to book a suspect due to Arapio closing booking facilities or cite and release the suspect. Since immigration status as well as if seeing the person has commited other crimes at the booking station bringing in people is one huge way illegal immigrants and wanted criminals are found. Citing and releasing is a joke played on Arizona since Arapio wasted millions of dollars on raids that only got illegals who were already being investigated by the local police. Arapio is either criminally negligent or incredibly incompetent.
