Witless For The Prosecution??? (Or, Sheriff Joe Flops With The Prosecutor)

They Couldn’t Believe The Crap Sheriff Joe Was Trying To Pull

Well, a Birther wrote one of those “Open Letters” to the Maricopa County Prosecutor Bill Montgomery, and here is the answer. The original letter, and other information is at the link below.

Dear Mr. Reilly,

Thank you for taking the time to write and for the concerns you have expressed. There are a couple of points of analysis, though, in determining whether a criminal charge can be filed, regardless of the charge or who the suspect might be. The first is whether I have jurisdiction over the case. That requires that some conduct had to have occurred in Maricopa County for me to have jurisdiction. From the Sheriff’s Office investigation into suspect documents produced by the White House to date, that investigation has not revealed any evidence that conduct occurred in Maricopa County. I have discussed this with the Sheriff. As for any issues regarding qualifications or information provided regarding the Presidential Election itself, that is a statewide election. Under Arizona law, the Secretary of State and the Attorney General have jurisdiction over statewide elections. I do not.

I will share with you, as well, that the criminal statute you cited in your message requires additional evidence that the MCSO investigation to date has not uncovered. Specifically, we would need evidence to affirmatively prove that Mr. Obama is not a US citizen. To date, there has been evidence presented leading to speculation that documents have been forged and other documents do not exist. That alone, though, is not sufficient evidence to present to a grand jury and actually have a reasonable likelihood of conviction. I cannot speak for other prosecutors at the state level around the rest of the country or for prosecutors at the federal level but Arizona?s ethics rules do not permit prosecutors to file a charge they can only hope to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt at a later stage.

I stand ready and willing, however, to review any case submitted for charges and, if the evidence is there, I will prosecute regardless of who the suspect/defendant may be.

Sincerely,

Bill Montgomery
Maricopa County Attorney

Birthers should not be surprised that there is insufficient evidence for prosecution. I patiently explained this to them in a previous  Internet Article:

Others, like Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. and numerous Freeper Birfers, are filled with indignation because the saner part of the universe simply ignores Arpaio and the Cold Case Posse’s claims of forgery. Sooo, I have decided to deconstruct the issue and get down to specifics. First, let us get a workable definition offorgery. This one, from the Free Legal Dictionary, seems typical:

The creation of a false written document or alteration of a genuine one, with the intent to defraud.

Forgery consists of filling in blanks on a document containing a genuine signature, or materially altering or erasing an existing instrument. An underlying intent to defraud, based on knowledge of the false nature of the instrument, must accompany the act.

Since the word defraud is used twice, let’s define that word also, from the same source:

[T]o use deceit, falsehoods, or trickery to obtain money, an object, rights or anything of value belonging to another.

Legally, any erroneous information would have to have been put in, or altered,  with the intent to defraud, so that simple clerical errors or harmless mistakes would not constitute forgery. For example, if a clerk penciled in the number “9″ for the Father’s Race, when the correct code should have been “2″, there is no forgery.  Mainly, because there was no evil intent and no one is being defrauded of anything.

I would submit that Sheriff Joe, Deputy Zullo, The Cold Case Posse, Jerome “Jerry” Corsi, and other Birthers have completely and utterly failed to prove any of the elements of a forgery claim. Not only have they failed to substantially prove any of the forgery elements, they have not even made a credible  allegation of any element of forgery.

Note 1. The Image. This is Tyrone Power and Marlene Dietrich from the 1957 film, Witness For The Prosecution. Wiki says, in part:

Witness for the Prosecution is a 1957 American courtroom drama film based on a short story (and later play) by Agatha Christie dealing with the trial of a man accused of murder. The first film adaptation of this story, it stars Tyrone Power (in his final screen role), Marlene Dietrich, and Charles Laughton, and features Elsa Lanchester. The film was adapted by Larry Marcus, Harry Kurnitz and the film’s director Billy Wilder.

World Famous Brazilian Expert Examines The Long Form Image!!!

John Woodman Trekked Deep Into The Brazilian Tropical Rain Forest In His Quest For A World Class Expert

In a search that took him across the globe, John Woodman, author of Is Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate A Fraud,  managed to find a world class computer expert to examine the pdf image of Obama’s long form birth certificate. Here is a teaser, and the rest is at the link below:

As I examined patents and technical papers written on MRC compression, one name in particular seemed to pop up again and again — that of Ricardo de Queiroz.

Ricardo de Queiroz is one of the primary fathers of this entire technology.

The very first “mixed raster content” patent in the United States was granted to Leon Bottou and Yann Andre LeCun… But the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 13th patents were granted to Ricardo de Queiroz and his team. That’s about half of the first dozen or so patents. And some of his team members and students have also gone on to further develop the technology.

In addition, Professor de Queiroz appears again and again as an author of the available technical papers on MRC compression.

Now there are certainly many other individuals who have contributed to the development of this technology; and several in particular have made really big contributions. But I decided, based on what I read in the patent filings and technical papers, that if I were going to contact one expert in the world on this particular technology, the person I would pick would be Ricardo de Queiroz.

So I contacted him. And Dr. de Queiroz was gracious enough to reply — for which I thank him. In clarifying what compression technology is capable of, he has rendered a genuine service to all who have held any interest in this controversy.

Earth To Orly Taitz!!! (Or, Another Sheriff Speaks Mighty Words Of Wisdom)

The Lights In Her Spaceship Were On, But Was Anybody Home???

Well, Orly Taitz is out there trying to run down Sheriff Joe and Mike Zullo and get some commitment. She’s carrying like some poor knocked up little chippy with her,  ”But you told me you loved me, and now I’m pregnant, and you won’t call me back, waaaahhh!”  Here is her latest:

(Click to enlarge.)

http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=280043

This is sooo pitiful and pathetic that I can’t bear to imagine the incredulous look on her face while she was typing it in. It’s like somebody who went on a “Snipe Hunt” and is still holding a bag out there in the woods four days later. Some Good Samaritan has to tell them it was all a practical joke before they die of exposure. It might as well be me.  Here is my “Open Letter” to her.

Dear Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.

What part of “It Was All A Bunch Of Bullsh*t” don’t you get??? Arpaio and Zullo haven’t filed any charges because they didn’t find anything to file charges on.  Their whole investigation was a farce from the get-go. They did it for the PUBLICITY and for something to smear Obama with.

You see, Deputy Jerome “Jerry” Corsi was caught flat-footed back in April 2011. There Corsi was, just about to turn loose his brand new book, “Where’s The Birth Certificate?” and SQUABASH!, Obama  coughed up the long form whilethe book was en route to the shelves. Ooops!  That made Corsi look kind of stupid, even to the faithful.  And, as he continued to pump the old “It’s A Fake!” spiel, he looked even more like a cheap hack writing “Big Foot Baby Daddy” stories.  Corsi, and the folks who were still Birthers badly need a shot of respectability.

So in combination with a bunch of kooky Arizona Tea Party Birthers, they all prevailed upon Sheriff Joe Arpaio to investigate. Arpaio appointed the Cold Case Posse to look into the matter with Corsi playing a big part in the investigation. He even became a “Special Deputy.” You probably never read it, but back in April, I wrote an Internet Article here about YOU being investigated by the DOJ with the Obots helping them.  That is the same silly thing happened when the Cold Case Posse let Corsi in.  The whole thing became an even worse joke than it already was.

Fast Forward six months or so and we have the Cold Case Posse press conference and the idiotic forgery claims. Do you really understand the basis for the forgery claim? It isn’t that they proved any information on the long form was false, or materially altered with the aim to defraud someone out of some benefit. That is the LEGAL definition of forgery in most states. No, what you have in Phoenix, is some photo-shopping experts testifying that they can’t figure out how the long form was scanned and uploaded to the Internet. And some questions about a 30 year old postal dating stamp.

In fact, the Arizona Secretary of State got a verification from Alvin Onaka Ph.D,  the Hawaiian State Registrar, that Obama was born in Hawaii, and that the long form information matches their records. So you see, Orly, there isn’t any forgery and there isn’t any ObamaForgeryGate. Even Sheriff Joe and Zullo openly admit that they are not accusing Obama of doing anything criminal.

I mentioned something called a “Snipe Hunt” above. You probably didn’t have these in Moldova, so let me explain how one works. A group of people decides to fool some naive and trusting individual. So they set them out in the woods with a bag, and tell them to wait while the rest go off and drive the snipe toward them. When the snipe(s) get there, the gullible person is supposed to catch them in the bag.

But the other people really aren’t out in the woods driving snipe toward the bag. No. They are in a bar somewhere boozing it up and laughing at the idiot out there in the woods holding the bag, waiting for the imaginary snipe to come along. Orly, that person in the woods is YOU. You are the sucker who bought into the whole Cold Case Posse thing, the same way you bought into the Susan Daniels foolishness.

So, while you call on Mike Zullo and Sheriff Joe to come to your rescue . . . they aren’t coming. Figuratively speaking, they are sitting in a bar somewhere, boozing it up and having a good laugh at your expense. I might be wrong about Zullo. Maybe he is out there on the other side of the woods, all excited, and holding a bag, too. Whichever, let me permit a very famous American Sheriff to give you 4 seconds worth of great advice:

Note 4. The Image Easter Egg. Wiki says about signal to noise ratios:

Signal-to-noise ratio (often abbreviated SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. It is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power. A ratio higher than 1:1 indicates more signal than noise.

Signal-to-noise ratio is sometimes used informally to refer to the ratio of useful information to false or irrelevant data in a conversation or exchange. For example, in online discussion forums and other online communities, off-topic posts and spam are regarded as “noise” that interferes with the “signal” of appropriate discussion.

A “Seven Year Hitch” In Time Saves “9″ (Or, Corsi Codes Blue)

Caught Without A Single Stitch, Much Less Nine

As noted at ConWebBlog,  Jerome “Deputy Jerry” Corsi is still playing games with the truth:

Jerome Corsi is either an idiot or utterly dishonest.

In a brief summary of the cold case posse “investigation” of Barack Obama’s “eligibility” in an Aug. 16 WorldNetDaily article, Corsi writes: “In addition, the team found computer codes handwritten on the Obama long-form birth certificate are inconsistent with information filled out on the form, suggesting the document had been altered.”

In fact, whatever coding system was used on Obama’s 1961 birth certificate , it clearly wasn’t the 1968 system Corsi, Mike Zullo and the rest of the posse used as evidence of an “altered” document.

http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/blog/index.blog?entry_id=2279794

As background, there are certain penciled in numbers on the online image of Obama’s long form birth certificate. These numbers were for the purpose of coding the information for subsequent computer input.  The confusion arises from the number “9″ penciled in the block for “Race of Father.”  The block was filled in with “African”, which has reportedly sent large untold numbers into catatonic states.

A previous Internet Article from ConWebBlog explains how the Cold Case Posse screwed up by using the WRONG YEAR’S coding protocol:

Zullo’s coding error

During Cold Case Posse chief Mike Zullo’s July 17 press conference to announce the latest findings from his so-called investigation, he touted one item he purported to be a bombshell regarding handwritten codes on Obama’s long-form birth certificate, as WND reporter:

The codes seen on the document issued by the White House are not consistent with the          information entered into the various fields, indicating the document has been altered or amended.

In the coding system, the number 9 indicates the information is not stated, meaning there should not be any information in the box in which the number is written.

However, the number 9 can be seen written in pencil next to the fields for “Usual Occupation,” “Kind of Business or Industry” and “Race of Father” on Obama’s document. Each of those fields are filled with information.

“This proves the document has been tampered with and information has been placed on it,” Zullo said.

In fact, according to the Obama Conspiracy site, Zullo is citing a coding system established in 1968, which would not apply to a birth certificate from 1961. The coding system at that time [1961] defined the number 9 as “other nonwhite.” Given that the number was found in the box for the race of Obama’s father, this may explain why his race is listed as “African” — it may be nothing more than a 50-year-old misguided notion that a black man from Africa was not a “Negro.”

Here is a link for the full story:

http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/stories/2012/birtherblackout.html

And here is a link to Dr. Conspiracy’s story on the coding, including the mysterious number 9:

http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/03/decoding-the-long-form-part-2/

Obviously, the “9″ on the image of Obama’s  long form birth certificate is CORRECT, and the Cold Cut Posse is once more, full of baloney.  They used a book to check coding that wasn’t even invented for seven more years.

Sooo, a seven year hitch in time saves “9″. 

Oh, I just love it when you can work puns and word plays into a post!!!

Squeeky Fromm
Girl Reporter

Note 1. The Puns and word Plays.  This is for people who may be ESL, which is English as a second language.

Seven year hitch is a word play on seven year itch.  Hitch, of course, means a problem. And there is a seven year time difference between the 1961 code book and the 1968 book.

The Seven Year Itch usually refers to a psychological term that suggests that happiness declines after around year seven after a marriage. Sometimes, seven year itch means scabies, or a parasitic skin infection. or, a movie as noted below. For the Image caption, stitch is a slangish term for clothing.

A hitch in time saves 9 is a word play on the old adage, a stitch in time saves nine, about which Wikitionary says:

Proverb: a stitch in time saves nine

Etymology: From the practice of knitting.

A little effort expended sooner to fix a small problem, prevents it from becoming a larger problem requiring more effort to fix later; A little preparation can eliminate the need for repairs later; consistency (achieving a set rhythm) is better than trying to rush ahead.

“Code Blue” is generally used to indicate a patient requiring resuscitation or otherwise in need of immediate medical attention, most often as the result of a respiratory arrest or cardiac arrest. Blue also means sad, which I imagine is how Jerome Corsi and the Cold Case Posse felt after learning they used the wrong year’s manual, assuming the mistake was unintentional.

Note 2. The Image.  This is Marilyn Monroe from the 1955 film, The Seven Year Itch. August , 2012 was the 50th anniversary of her death,  so I am happy I could work her into an Internet Article. This movie included this famous Subway Dress image:

The Birther Olympics: Update No.1 (Synchronized Spinning)

Kuhner Complained The Judge Wasn’t Even Watching Him Spin

Well, the first results are in from The Birther Olympics!!! Dianna, “The Dianna” Cotter won the prestigious Gold Medal in Synchronized Spinning. This event requires the participants to all provide spin on the same story, in this case, the failure of the Main Stream Press to pay any positive attention to Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse reports.

Jeffrey Kuhner, of the Washington Times, came in third, winning the Bronze Medal, for his spinning routine. Kuhner imitated Linda Blair from the movie, The Exorcist, and blew chunks of green material over the judges, while gracefully pirouetting to the tune of The Windmills Of Your Mind. The spews were expertly time to fall on the accented notes of the melody. Kuhner was dressed in a nightgown covered with newsprint. While some judges found the whole thing somewhat off-putting, others praised Kuhner for his non-verbalized dramatic interpretation of the Main Stream Press. As they say, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

Coming in second was journalist Diana West, who produced a minimalist 4 minute non-stop whine cum primal scream, “Bwaaaaa the pwess dint report duh forgerieeeee.” West suffered a severe case of the vapors, and had to be administered oxygen after her performance. Thankfully, she is reported to be in good enough condition to accept her medal in person. Critics have compared her performance to Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, for its stark simplicity and powerful message. West wore white, and the background screen was black, and one could almost envisage Ingmar Bergman peering down the camera lens and framing each shot.

However, these brave efforts were not enough to keep Cotter from totally dominating the event. Harking back to her Pravda days, she dressed like a babushka with a scarf made from the “Don’t Tread On Me!!!” Gadsen flag. Cotter then performed her screeds in Russian, while galloping back and forth across the stage with the Russian folk song, Meadowlands, playing in the background. The fact that no one understood what she was saying only served to enhance the dramatic effect. Her own feet were always in perfect time with the hoof beats in the music. Cotter’s natural stridency, gait, and fierce demeanor were perfectly complimented by this musical selection. All in all, she was magnificent!!!

La M’relle, Jerome Corsi (A Poison Named Corsi)

After 72 Hours Straight At The Electron Scanning Microscope, Corsi Was A Little Haggard and Woe-Begone

After listening and reading from the July 17, 2012 Sheriff Joe press conference, it comes to me that Deputy Zullo may have been brain-washed by Jerome “Jerry” Corsi in a grueling, marathon 16 hour  session. I direct the reader’s attention to this tidbit found on page 24 of the transcript:

Zullo:  I think this is a bad thing, but it is what it is, and let me just address something to your question on Mr. Corsi. Mr. Corsi I personally interviewed for sixteen hours, and I’ll leave the expletives out, but I told him in no uncertain terms for fourteen hours of that, I wasn’t buying this. It wasn’t until the registrar’s stamp that we showed you on March 1st, that’s what got my attention.  Mr. Corsi’s information that he brought to us and you have to understand we did not seek Mr. Corsi out, he was offered up to us. He had information, documents, all kinds of things, that for a good partof three months I had to sit and review, and discarded as not germane to what we are investigating, or I didn’t think was worth the paper it was written on.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/100808537/Unofficial-Transcript-of-the-MCCP-Press-Conference-July-17-2012

Hmmm. I wonder if the nefarious Corsi reversed roles and managed to break Zullo??? If so, this brings back memories of a certain knight, haggard and woe-begone, who encountered a Lamia on a journey. He thought he was doing her, but actually, she was doing him. OH, this calls for a poem. BTW (which means “by the way”), la morelle is French for Nightshade, a deadly poisonous plant. Of course, this is based on John Keats’ beautiful and haunting, La Belle Dame Sans Merci,  or, the beautiful woman without pity.

La M’relle, Jerome Corsi
(Trans: A deadly poison by the name of Jerome Corsi)
by Squeeky Fromm

Oh, what can ail thee, Dep’ty Zullo
Alone and softly babbling???
The press has gathered in the room
And sniggers bring.

Oh, what can ail thee, Dep’ty Zullo
So hackney’d, and yet so nutter???
The squirrels’ appetite is large,
And moonbats flutter.

I see in thy eyes a dullness
And in thy mien, a blunt affect.
And in thy slideshow, images
Pointless doth reflect.

I met J. Corsi in a room
To heareth all that he had filed.
Banker Boxes didst overflow
And his eyes were wild.

I made some notes and wrote them down
And wrote ’til pencil lead was gone.
I tried to find a ballpoint pen,
Still, on he droned.

He showed me long form images,
And masks and layers all day long.
He sang, in mesmerizing voice,
A pixel song.

Full fourteen hours drag-ged on,
So wearied, daring not to break.
He must have said a thousand times,
“This is a fake!!!”

He took me to the Birfer Grot,
And there a ukelele strumm’d???
At least that is the way it seem’d,
To mind benumb’d.

He said he had a P-H-D,
“Go sleep, and it will be just fine.”
And then I dreamed my latest dream
On the number “9.”

Also, I saweth postal stamps!!!
And Smiley Faces in a row.
It took a magnifying glass
To see them, though.

Then Mad Hawaiians, laugh’d at me,
And said “You fell, thou Dumb Ha-ole,”
“Down La Morelle Jerome Corsi’s
Birfer Rabbithole!!!”

So that is why I babble here,
And delusionally putter,
While squirrels try to take me home,
And moonbats flutter.

Note 1: Of course this is a parody of La Belle Dame Sans Merci, by John Keats, wherein a wandering knight doth meeteth up in the woods with a life-sucking Lamia:

La Belle Dame Sans Merci

O WHAT can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has wither’d from the lake,
And no birds sing.

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms!
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel’s granary is full,
And the harvest’s done.

I see a lily on thy brow
With anguish moist and fever dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast withereth too.

I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful—a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She look’d at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.

She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she wept, and sigh’d fill sore, 30
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
With kisses four.

And there she lulled me asleep,
And there I dream’d—Ah! woe betide!
The latest dream I ever dream’d
On the cold hill’s side.

I saw pale kings and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried—“La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!”

I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill’s side.

And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is wither’d from the lake,
And no birds sing.

Note 3. The Image Above, is of Svengali, from the 1931 film, and played by John Barrymore. About Svengali, Wiki says:

Svengali is a fictional character in George du Maurier’s 1894 novel Trilby. He is a hypnotist who makes the title character into a famous singer.The word “svengali” has come to refer to a person who, with evil intent, controls another person by persuasion or deceit. The Svengali may feign kindness and use manipulation to get the other person to yield his or her autonomy.

Note 4. Haole. This is an Hawaiian term for an “outsider.” The word has three syllables and is prounounced, “ha-ol-i.” For purposes of this poem, please pretend it is pronounced “ha-ol.” I would have left off the final “e”, and put a ” ‘ “, but that would have made it more difficult to recognize for most people.

What Happens In Phoenix. . . (Or, Zullo in Limbo???)

World Net Daily Staffers Bent Over Backwards To Not Call Attention To Zullo

World Net Daily seems to be of the opinion that some things that happen in Phoenix, should stay in Phoenix.  One of the secondary definitions of limbo, is a state of neglect. From the image below, one has to wonder if Special Deputy Mike Zullo, co-author of A Question of Eligibility might be in World Net Daily (WND) limbo, hidden away like a red-headed stepchild. Notice this language:

The e-book is co-authored by Jerome Corsi, the two-time No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, who wrote “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” and the e-book sequel, “Where’s the Real Birth Certificate?”

(Click on Image to make it larger.)

Here is the link where you can see this for yourself.

http://superstore.wnd.com/digital/A-Question-of-Eligibility-e-book

Mike Zullo is listed as the co-author on the cover of the book,  to the left of the blurb, but it is smaller and difficult to read. Presumably, Zullo gets some air-time inside  the book.  But isn’t it interesting that he is just glossed-over in the sales blurb??? One would think that having a real, live Maricopa County Cold Case Posse (CCP) investigator as the co-author of your book would be a great selling point.

Hmmm. Maybe it is that whole before and after thing. When an investigator signs a deal and writes a book AFTER an investigation, then it adds to the credibility of the book. But, when the book deal comes BEFORE the investigation, then it makes you feel sort of queasy, and the pecuniary interest shatters any credibility. As is pretty evident in this Internet Article which appeared 2 days after the original March 1, 2012 Cold Case Posse press conference:

PHOENIX – The lead investigator in Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s investigation into President Obama’s birth certificate is profiting from the case.

Mike Zullo, a retired detective and volunteer Maricopa County Sheriff Posse member, is listed as the co-author of “A Question of Eligibility,” an e-book for sale on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The book is a copy of the investigation findings presented to the press on Thursday.

Corsi said he informed Arpaio of his plans to sell the investigation’s findings six months ago, at the start of the investigation.

Still, the sale of the investigation is raising eyebrows and ethical questions from Arpaio critics.

“I’m shocked to learn about this book,” said Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox.

The entire article may be found here:

http://www.azfamily.com/outbound-feeds/yahoo-news/MCSO-investigator-selling-birther-investigation-online-141270873.html

Returning to the WND sales blurb, it would not have taken up much space for them to list Zullo.  Just one sentence. I think the conclusion is obvious that World Net Daily feels sheepish about the sleazy conduct and does not wish to call extra attention to it.

As well they should.

Orly Taitz Woodsheds Joseph Farah!!!

Although Little Joseph Begged For Mercy, Taitz Was Determined To Feenish This!!!

Today, Orly Taitz. Esq. bent Joseph Farah, Editor of Word Net Daily (WND), over her proverbial knee and gave him forty hard whacks with a hickory stick. Here is how it went down. First, Orly Taitz has been complaining because she can’t get either Sheriff Arpaio or Deputy Mike Zullo of the Cold Case Posse (CCP) to appear at any of her hearings and testify.

But as she notes, both of them seem quite able to find the time to do press conferences and promote the sale of the book co-authored by Zullo and Jerome Corsi.  Here is an Internet Article I did a few days ago on this:

http://birtherthinktank.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/the-quantum-orly-taitz-or-schodingers-elephant/

Well, apparently Farah got a little perturbed by this, and wrote Taitz an email asking her basically to STFU about the financial link between WND and the CCP.  Here is an excerpt:

I am not sure what else Farah may have said. Taitz gave a link to the email, but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere.  But Taitz gives Farah a good answer, with me separating it into more paragraphs to make it easier to read:

Here is my response: Arpaio is getting paid by the tax payers. There was no reason in the world for him to run this investigation off the books through his posse instead of doing a proper police investigation within the sheriff’s department. 250 citizens served him with a criminal complaint and a petition  and provided evidence of the biggest crime ever committed against 4 million citizens of the Maricopa county, AZ. Arpaio had a duty to open a proper police investigation and file the report with the DA.

Let me remind you that in IN a sheriff did just that, when he got evidence of 4 executives of the Democratic party submitting forged nominations to the elected officials. He investigated, filed the report, DA filed a criminal complaint, parties were arraigned and a judge is presiding over the criminal trial. End of story.

That is exactly what Arpaio was supposed to do. It is illegal for a sheriff or a deputy to profiteer from the result of the police investigation they are conducting. From what I was told by sources in the department, (correct me, if I am wrong), but Arpaio deputized not only Zullo, but also Corsi. This means that they cannot profiteer from their work as sheriff’s deputies. That is why we are paying a salary to Arpaio and his staff, so that they will do the work without any personal incentives.

I have a grave concern that as long as you are donating to Arpaio through the WND and as long as you are giving money to Zullo and Corsi by buying their book, you are giving them an incentive not to file a report with the authorities. The point is that the moment the report is filed and Arpaio testifies in court and the evidence is in court records, he loses his importance, as at that time the ball will be in the court of the District Attorney and the judge to take an action.

I was asked, why are you asking for donations, how are you different from Arpaio. The answer is simple. Arpaio is paid a salary by the tax payers, a big salary, plus all the benefits and has a whole staff to do this work. I am not paid by the tax payers, so if I have to go to court in MS or IN or GA or HI, I have to pay out of my own pocket. This is the difference

First, it is interesting to see that Arpaio deputized Corsi. I have called him Special Deputy Jerry Corsi here several times and I guess I was right. Taitz also picks up on something that Farah doesn’t seem to understand:

It is illegal for a sheriff or a deputy to profiteer from the result of the police investigation they are conducting.

At the very least, that is Conduct Unbecoming An Officer (CUBO), something else that I have written about here.  Taitz also picks up on the fact that WND and CCP’s  financial interests and publicity interests mitigate against bringing this a speedy close:

. . . as long as you are giving money to Zullo and Corsi by buying their book, you are giving them an incentive not to file a report with the authorities.

What I wonder is why Taitz does not pick up on the fact that Corsi and the CCP’s pecuniary interest tainted the investigation from the very get go. If the CCP had not had negative findings against Obama, would the book have sold any copies at all???  Therefore, how can she or anybody else have any confidence in the findings???

The other big question I have is how does she ever put Arpaio, Zullo or any CCP member on the stand and expect them to have any credibility in court??? I also addressed this question in the above linked article, and this latest post only makes her problem more acute.  In effect, she has destroyed her own witnesses’ ability to provide believable testimony.

Here is the link to the full story at her website:

The flip side of her response to Farah is Farah’s seeming cluelessness regarding the difference between law enforcement officers working for a paycheck, and working on commission.  A paycheck is the same whether a suspect is arrested or not. A commission on the other hand, which is what the pecuniary interest acts like, means that the more dirt they can dish on Obama, the higher the salary. Whether the dirt is true or not.  Or, as Taitz said:

That is why we are paying a salary to Arpaio and his staff, so that they will do the work without any personal incentives.

Farah again displays his ignorance when he tackles the idea of volunteer work. Farah asks:

By the way, what’s wrong with Zullo getting some remuneration for his six months of previously unpaid public service work?

Uh, Joseph, the whole point of the Cold Case Posse, and the other Posses is that they are voluntary. People do it to help, not to make extra money. If Deputy Zullo wanted to work part-time and make some extra money, perhaps he should have looked into becoming an Amway distributor, or maybe getting a part-time job down to the 7-11.

Bizarre. I would love to see Farah’s full email, if there is more.  That moustache must be slowing down the blood flow to his brain.

Note 1. Woodsheds. Urban Dictionary defines this as:

An allusion to being corporally punished, where the victim would be sent to the woodshed to await his punisher. The woodshed was a popular location, because it was remote from the rest of the family, and there was abundant material there for fashioning a paddle or a switch.

Get to the woodshed boy – your pa is gonna tan your hide when he gets home from the mill.

To beat an opponent comfortably. In soccer terms, its equivalent to a goal difference of 4 between teams.

Here comes Sheriff Rotten-Tale
Tumblin’ down the Birfer Trail,
Rickety, crotchety
Geezer’s on his way.

Has a Cold Case Posse, too.
Doing all that they can do
To make the Sheriff’s problems go away.

He’s got Deputy Mike Zullo
And Jerry Corsi, too.
And if things get too dull, Oh
World Net Daily will come through!

Oh! Here comes Sheriff Rotten-Tale
Stumblin’ down the Birfer Trail,
Rickety, crotchety
Geezer’s on his way.

Here comes Sheriff Rotten-Tale
Fumblin’ down the Birfer Trail,
He’s doing a press conference every day:

“The Image is a forgery!!!”
“The M-S-M ignores me!!!”
Obama’s turned loose the F-T-C!!!”.

We don’t need an Easter morning
To wake up and find his eggs.
They’re always running down his face,
‘Cause his stories have no legs.

Oh! Here comes Sheriff Rotten-Tale
Bumblin’ down the Birfer trail,
Rickety, crotchety
Geezer’s on his way.

Note 1.  Here Comes Peter Cottontail. If you don’t know the tune, here is a youtube video. The song was made famous  by Cowboy Gene Autry:

Note 4. Having Legs. This is an idiom meaning:

“to continue to be of interest.”

Example:  This latest scandal has legs – you’ll probably still be reading about it in a year’s time.

While the Sheriff’s various tales do have interest to the Birther Community, these are just reincarnations of earlier rumors and half-truths that have no legs outside Birferdom. Which is the real reason why the Main Stream Press (MSM) ignores them. Not intimidation or fear as alleged by various Birthers.
