Silence

It's The Constitution, Stupid
JFC!

My favorite, by far, of the PUMA bloggers is Texas Darlin'.  There is an ocean named Hillary between us, but I admire her integrity, her passion, and skill.  Alone among the PUMAS I've followed during the lead-up to Obama's Assumption Into The Oval, TD did not go into full Obama swoon when he picked HRC
AWK!
for Sec./State.  Now, her derogation [An Institution Dies] over the putrid media corpse lying before us pulls all the right triggers.

Now? The reporters are now lining up to confess failure? How pathetic.

Indeed. A very nicely packaged summation, that, of what several dozen million of us believe. Okay, her observations, while generally spot-on, do include "had these hacks performed merely 25% of what they should have, the outcome of this election would likely have been quite different." Ahem. Echoes my very thoughts in 1992, and 1996. But, I'm looking for common ground here. And, on the subject of Obama's in-your-face recalcitrance over the circumstances of his birth, and those helping him, we have plenty to agree over.

And still, they — the Mainstream Media — don’t have the grit or integrity to fulfill their duty.

Still, they don’t.

Because as I write this, the United States Supreme Court has granted a full conference to a regular citizen named Leo Donofrio, on the issue of Barack Obama’s status as a natural-born citizen. I’m told that the US Supreme Court has not granted such a full conference for any matter in 3 decades.

 — the very fact that a full conference has been granted — is newsworthy. Right? Even downright historic. Yes, it is, which is why we the bloggers are unsurprised that no one in the Mainstream Media, not one reputable journalist or organization, has reported the story.


With deference to those who think this was about denying Obama the presidency, it was ... but not for the apparent reason.   Here's Frank Salvato, Managing Editor of The New Media Journal.

Make no mistake. I do not support Barack Obama in his quest for the presidency. I find his political ideology to embrace a one-world ideology borrowing heavily from the Marxist-Leninist dogma. But, if in fact he is a legal and naturally born citizen of the United States of America, if he thoroughly satisfies the requirements as set forth in Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, then I will defend his right to be placed on ballots across our nation. My concern is not partisan, it is constitutional.

Salvato  does yeoman like work trying to answer the question, "what entity requires proof be filed of a candidate’s satisfaction of the constitutional requirements needed to become President of the United States?"  The answer, apparently, is "NONE."

 Here's Joan Swirsky, who like ( hopefully at this point) any American with a brain stem, agrees that there is something way more than just "fishy" about this.

I’ve [Joan Swirsky]  written several books, not one of them fictional. And thousands of articles, not one of them based on sinister suspicions or conspiracy theories. But the case of the U.S. media’s complete non-coverage of this major story has gotten me to speculate on what – or who – may be behind this phenomenon. What force could be so powerful as to silence our country’s putative guardians of free speech – the titans of the Fourth Estate?  [The Great Birth Certificate Scandal-Cover-Up of the 2008 Election]

Swirsky does us a service by collecting a "partial list of people and organizations that have challenged Obama’s eligibility," and their fates.  I don't subscribe to her "nuclear blackmail" theory, but can't come up with anything better, other than to say  it was very, very important, to a good many very powerful people, that the Kenyan Cipher be elected president. I'm not hopeful about having this resolved, either.  As with Vince Foster, when the full government and media collaborate on silence, there's silence. It does give us moral standing to burn things though.

I actually faced a similar problem/situation years ago when I married my Italian wife in the States: in order to get the marriage license, and later to get the certificate needed for the transfer to Italy (N.B. not a certification, which seems to be a completely different thing...) they asked her if she was over 18 and never previously married. Since she actually spoke very little English, I helpfully translated and told her to say "YES". Since she was 22 at the time, and no 17 year old girl has ever looked 22, obviously they couldn't have asked for any ID as that would be offensive. Luckily she was really 22, and we didn't break any laws, as that would have been unethical.

All done.

That was all it took.

Thank goodness for the good old USA.
