Predicto's chronolgy of the Obama Birth Certificate controversy.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I have a question for those who follow this closely:

Does Taitz honestly believe in her delusional cause? Or is this just a hustle for her to get fame, money, whatever?

orly-taitz-leader-of-birther-movement-says-they-can-arrest-obama

"Queen of the Birthers" Orly Taitz is having an interesting week. Taitz, the lawyer, dentist, real estate agent and self-appointed leader of the birther brigade, has been threatened with possible punishment from a federal judge, who accused her of lying in his courtroom about the extent of her legal troubles. Meanwhile, Taitz also announced this week that she and her followers can arrest Barack Obama for electoral fraud — but only in Connecticut. (Seriously.)

Some people will stop at nothing in their efforts to prove their ignorance.
Some people will stop at nothing to let them achieve their goal.
Thanks, Jumbo.

A Birther Bill got filled in the Texas Legislature late last week.

Orly and Dee Snyder do look like they were seperated at birth. Good one Bang

At this point, I'm more interested in the many Birther Civil Wars than in the actual Birther movement.

This FreeRepublic thread on Ted Cruz' eligibility is over 1000 posts now.

By the way, that thread should have one post: "Yes, he is eligible." But Birthers have all kinds of theories. My favorite is the idea that Cuba is a US protectorate and therefore all Cubans are Natural Born Citizens of the US. So, the people who have been complaining that Bin Laden could have had a child born in America and that child would eventually be eligible to become president are now declaring the Castro Brothers to be Natural Born.

Brooklyn judge slams birther lawsuit as 'fanciful, delusional and irrational' and orders theorist to pay $177G

Judge Arthur Schack wrote that if the case brought by Christopher Earl Struck claiming President Barack Obama was not truly born in Hawaii were a movie script it would be entitled 'The Manchurian Candidate Meets The Da VInci Code.'

A birther's lawsuit was born of a crackpot theory.

That’s what an irritated Brooklyn judge said in slapping a preeminent conspiracy theorist with a hefty bill for filing “a frivolous” suit and wasting the court’s time.

Christopher Earl Strunk sought to have President Obama disqualified as a candidate. The author of some 20 other lawsuits — most of which have been dismissed — Strunk was ordered to pay $167,707 in attorney fees plus a $10,000 sanction for the 2011 lawsuit that named Obama, New York’s Board of Elections and a list of others as defendants.

1- I love this thread

2- It's sad and pathetic that it's ever even been an issue, let alone an on going one.

3- Nice to see a court fine "stupid".

The birthers have decided this is a sign of panic by Obama. With the walls of his fake presidency starting to crumble, the administration is frantically trying to stem the patriotic tide by ordering judges to punish these great Americans.

[AsburySkinsFan]

We need more judges to keep leveling these hefty fines against the Birther clowns, and yes I know there are still some closeted Birthers that hang around here. Birthers stretch the Freedom of Speech to its breaking point.

I have a question for those who follow this closely:

Does Taitz honestly believe in her delusional cause? Or is this just a hustle for her to get fame, money, whatever?

My guess is that a) she passionately believes in the cause even if b) at some level she knows it isn't true. Her identity is so wrapped up in this that I don't think she spends any time evaluating the plausibility of these cockamamie theories.

Christopher Earl Strunk prefers to go by the name Christopher-Earl: Strunk. The extra punctuation ensures that the government has no power over him. He is a "sovereign citizen" conspiracy nut, which is a truly special breed of stupid that has ed up our court system for years. Several of the weirdos who have gone off the rails in recent years and started shooting people or buying explosives have been sovereign citizens.

Strunk likes to file legal documents that say things like this:

not a corporation; [but a] Living-Soul; Son-of-the-Most-High-God-Yaweh in existence nunc pro tunc the moment of Creation; Joint-Heir-With-His-Son Made Debt-Free with the Yashua; Payment (consideration) of His Blood; I Stand in the Kingdom of the Most-High-God Yaweh; Under reserve, without dishonor, without prejudice, without recourse in good faith, no dolus.

and

Any attorney, district attorney, or anyone from the lawyering craft are all third parties and do not have a license to make a legal determination in this matter as they do not represent Me and you, the county clerk, and do not have the authority to represent Me.

or

That based upon information and belief Barack Obama is the asset of the Pilgrim Society (2), Le Cercle (3), 1001 Club (4), Commercial Club of Chicago (5), Sovereign Military Order of Malta (6), Council for National Policy (7), whose powerful membership overlaps with the directorships in various think tanks, mainstream media, financial institutions, law firms, corporations, and far more secret societies hardly worth mentioning; that all covertly support the Usurper to complete the European Union -EU (Fourth Reich), as directed by Fr. Peter-Hans Kovenbach, S.J. to dissolve all Eurasian national secular borders, and form the Mediterranean Union, as King Juan Carlos of Jerusalem's crown jewel, at the hilt of the neo Babylonian Caliphate scimitar Arc of Crisis swath from Thailand to Morocco, hewn by their crown prince SOEBARKAH .:. Obama fealty "There is no other God than Allahf' (B) allegiance to the Opus Dei- Muslim Brotherhood - GULEN I EU Utopian Islamic Fascist Alliance (UIFA) to transform United States national sovereignty by plundering our youth by war and U.S. Taxpayer $43 trillion Dollars wealth by theft.

Nice to see him get a slap from the court (but he doesn't have any money so he can't pay the sanction).

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Yea, Strunk is really just a birther by the fact that he believes in every conspiracy theory. The case was his own brand of crazy that was built around the idea that Obama AND McCain were placed on the 2008 ballot via some Jesuit conspiracy being run out of the Vatican. (In all honesty, I've not read his pleadings as they don't really interest me).

Sovereign citizens are extremely dangerous. A number of highway patrolmen have been shot in the face by them in recent years after asking why they being handed "Kingdom of Heaven" drivers' licenses.
