Ohio Birther Gets Bowled Over!!!

“Miss Marble” Did Indeed Have One Marble, But Where Were The Others???

As the ObamaReleaseYourRecords blog reports, Ohio Birther Susan Daniels, P.I. got a reality check from Geauga County Prosecuting Attorney, David Joyce:

Here is where you can read the entire story:

http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2012/10/prosecutor-responds-to-obamas-social-security-number.html

Daniels follows in the footsteps of other illustrious  Birthers, such as Orly Taitz,  Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and the entire Cold Case Posse, in failing to check out the criminal statutes BEFORE alleging a crime has been committing, and gathering the requisite evidence BEFORE running off to the fuzz.  Or running off at the mouth.

Daniels is the alleged private investigator whose sloppy investigatory skills help start the whole Obama has 39 social security numbers Birther claim several years ago:

http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2010/05/17/fact-check-neil-sankey-barack-obama-27-numbers/

Her partner in stupid, Neil Sankey, had enough sense to realize that the database search didn’t prove anything because none of it could be linked to Obama.  But Daniels is the really slow learner of the pair, and has yet to grasp that  simple fact.  Compounding those failures is an inability to read and comprehend easy statements written in English. Daniels has been carrying on to beat the band that there is something fishy about Obama having a Connecticut social security number. My personal guess is that someone at the Social Security Administration made a typo back in 1977. It doesn’t matter because as the SSA states:

Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant’s mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence.   Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.

In spite of this, Daniels went ahead and filed a Birther eligibility suit in Ohio. When she realized that the suit was about to be dismissed, and she would not be getting any more attention, she filed another claim with the courts requesting an identity theft criminal investigation because of the social security number.  Unfortunately for Ms. Daniels, The Geauga County prosecuting attorney CAN read and he told her the same thing as the SSA did, on page two of his letter. Here is a pdf copy in case anybody has problems with scribd at the link above:

David Joyce Letter

To add a little extra twist to the knife, David Joyce is a Republican. As she whines in the ORYR link above:

We are in serious trouble when a Republican prosecutor, David Joyce, who is now running for congress, does not care enough to look into a felony being committed by Barack Obama. The information in the letterfrom the SSA was added after I discovered that Obama is using a fraudulent social security number. The residence had to be in the state where the number was issued. They are lying. The issue could be cleared up by the prosecutor sending a letter to the SSA asking for a copy of the original application that goes with xxx-xx-4425. Apparently, that was too much trouble.

No. Actually, it is Daniels’ idiotic claim that is in trouble.  This is what happens every time that grown-ups have to deal with Birther silliness. But, she is way too much of an attention-whore to just shut up and go away. I wonder what she will try next???

The Woods Are Full Of Cuckoos!!! (The Birther Poll)

To Find Birthers, One Just Has To Go Out In The Woods And Yodel Them Up

I have been looking for a good recent poll on how many Birthers there might be, and Lo And Behold!, someone at Orly’s World Facebook page had a link. Here is an excerpt:

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

http://today.yougov.com/news/2012/10/01/birthers-arent-going-anywhere-update/

IIRC, back in 2010 about 58% of the country had some degree of doubt about where Obama was born. Now, that number is down to about 40%, but seems to be holding firm at that level. The comments at the above link are good, too.

Larry Klayman Is Dressing Up Like A Lawyer For Halloween!!! (Or, Loser Suit Larry)

Mr. Scratch Couldn’t Help But Chuckle When He Heard Klayman Was Going To Represent Himself

Well, Larry “Klutz” Klayman, Esq.,  aka Loser Suit Larry, must have sold his soul to the Devil or Joseph Farah, whichever, because now he is going down the idiotic Citizen Grand Jury Birther road.  Here is what he recently wrote at World Net Daily (WND):

On Oct. 31, 2012, I will be in Ocala, Fla., presenting evidence to a citizens grand jury, chosen in the ordinary course without regard to politics and biases, seeking the indictment of the likes of President Barack Hussein Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others who have betrayed and terrorized the nation and violated the rule of criminal law. With regard to Obama, not only has he defrauded the American people by being elected president despite his not being a natural born citizen, but he also has compromised, in treasonous fashion, our national security. Once indicted, we will then seek to try him for these crimes. If he refuses to appear at trial, which he surely will, the people will try him in abstentia.

In effect, along with a coterie of other patriots, we will make Ocala in 2012 what Philadelphia was to the colonies in 1776. Please join us in the noble cause, as We the People have been abandoned and scorned by our so-called leaders for far too long. See www.citizensgrandjury.com. Now it is our time to risk our fortunes, sacred honor and lives to preserve the nation, using the rights that our Founding Fathers bequeathed to us: the citizens grand jury.

Forget about Mitt Romney and the Republican Party; their game is up. We can save the nation and live without them, so help us God.

http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/life-after-romney-and-the-republicans/

They must be getting desperate over at  WND, because the citizen grand jury Birther game is so old and toothless most Birthers won’t even fall for it. The scam was popular for a while several years ago. For example, see this article from April 2009:

http://www.salon.com/2009/04/01/birthers/

This is a familiar routine. The results are a foregone conclusion. Obama will be found guilty of whatever they charge him with. If a Judge ever bothers to look at whatever crap they produce, he will say something like Judge Lambert said in 2009. (See Note 2 below.):

[T]here is no authority under the Rules of Procedure or in the statutes of the United States for this court to accept [a presentment]… The individuals who have made this presentment were not convened by this court to sit as a grand jury nor have they been selected at random from a fair cross section of this district. Any self-styled indictment or presentment issued by such a group has no force under the Constitution or laws of the United States.”

The only thing remotely interesting about the announcement is the title  (Life After Romney And The Republicans)  and the  catty little remark about Mitt  and the  GOP, “Forget about Mitt Romney and the Republican Party; their game is up. We can save the nation and live without them, so help us God.” I sense that Klayman is a little miffed about the Republican grown-ups ignoring the silly, childish Birther stuff.  Sooo, we get the histrionic, whiny, little, “Who needs them, we’ll just do it all by ourselves!” mantra. Yeah, and next the Birthers will hold their breaths until they turn blue, and  run away and join the circus. Oh wait, they already joined the circus.

Anyway, I guess Larry “Klutz” Klayman does not intend to ever practice real-world, serious law again. Perhaps he is thinking of a new career in acting, or maybe stand-up comedy???  If he appears at your door on Halloween night in his little junior lawyer costume, don’t give him any of the good candy.

Note 1. The Image.  This is Walter Huston playing the Devil in the 1941 film, The Devil and Daniel Webster. Wiki says:

The Devil and Daniel Webster is a 1941 fantasy film, adapted by Stephen Vincent Benét and Dan Totheroh from Benét’s short story, “The Devil and Daniel Webster”. The film’s title was changed to All That Money Can Buy to avoid confusion with another film released by RKO that year, The Devil and Miss Jones, and later had the title restored on some prints. It has also been released under the titles Mr. Scratch, Daniel and the Devil and Here Is a Man. The film stars Edward Arnold, Walter Huston, and James Craig. It was directed by William Dieterle.

In 1840 New Hampshire, poor, downtrodden farmer Jabez Stone (James Craig) sells his soul to “Mr. Scratch” (Walter Huston) in return for seven years of luck and prosperity. With his time almost up, Stone begs famed orator and fellow New Hampshirite Daniel Webster (Edward Arnold) to find some way out of his bargain with the Devil. Webster agrees to take his case. Mr. Scratch offers an extension in exchange for Jabez’s son, but Jabez turns him down. He then begs Webster to leave before it is too late, but Webster refuses to go, boasting that he has never left a jug or a case half finished.

When Mr. Scratch shows up to claim his due, Webster has to risk his own soul before his fiendish opponent will agree to a trial by jury. Mr. Scratch chooses the jury members from among the most notoriously evil men of American history, with John Hathorne (one of the magistrates of the Salem witch trials) as the judge.

Loser Suit Larry is a word play on another famous “loser”, Leisure Suit Larry,  about which Wiki says:

Leisure Suit Larry is a series of adventure games written by Al Lowe and published by Sierra from 1987 to 2009. The main character, is Larry Laffer who, though still somewhat lovable, is a balding, dorky, double entendre-speaking, leisure suit-wearing “loser” in his 40s. The games follow him as he spends much of his life trying (usually unsuccessfully) to seduce attractive women.

The Birther “Larry Laugher” is always losing his Birthers lawsuits.

Note 2. Citizen Grand Juries:

Wiki even has an article on citizen grand juries, which did not start with the Birthers, and notes:

The earliest so-called 9/11 citizen grand jury, the 23-member “Los Angeles Citizens’ Grand Jury on the Crimes of 9/11/01,” was organized in 2004 by activist Lynne Pentz. By October of that year it had launched an “indictment” accusing George W. Bush and other administration officials of complicity and foreknowledge of the attacks.[1] Among those offering testimony at the event were Webster Tarpley, Barbara Honegger, Don Paul, Jim Hoffman and Christopher Bollyn. Similar citizen grand juries were organized in San Diego later in the 2000s.[2]

Some campaigners, led by Georgia activist Carl Swensson, have sought to, “finally expose the conspiracy behind President Obama’s birth certificate,” by forming what they term “citizen grand juries” to indict Obama.[3] The “citizen grand juries” are based on the Fifth Amendment’s premise that “no person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury.”[according to whom?]

Although the activists managed to hand out copies of “indictments” to Congressional staff,[4] the courts have not regarded the “citizen grand juries” favorably. In June 2009, a group of 172 campaigners declared themselves to be a “Super American Grand Jury” and voted to charge Obama with treason and accused him of not being a U.S. citizen.[5] Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the “indictment” on July 2, 2009 and declared “[T]here is no authority under the Rules of Procedure or in the statutes of the United States for this court to accept [a presentment]… The individuals who have made this presentment were not convened by this court to sit as a grand jury nor have they been selected at random from a fair cross section of this district. Any self-styled indictment or presentment issued by such a group has no force under the Constitution or laws of the United States.”[6]

Note 3. The Image Easter Egg. A word play on “Sole Practitioner.”

A person, who through a regular program of study, is learned in legal matters and has been licensed to practice his or her profession. Any qualified person who prosecutes or defends causes in courts of record or other judicial tribunals of the United States, or of any of the states, or who renders legal advice or assistance in relation to any cause or matter. Unless a contrary meaning is plainly indicated this term is synonymous with attorney, attorney at law, or counselor at law.

Note 4. In Abstentia. I didn’t think this was a real phrase, and that Klayman meant “in absentia”, but maybe I was wrong:

The GENERAL CONTEXT of such use is: ‘in abstentia’ – the realities of legitimation: In order to understand that the social effects of the common or learned (i.e., taught, as by pedagogic communications) illusions (maya), which are sociologically implied in the system of relations between the educational system (the School) and the structure of class relations, are not illusory, it is necessary to go back to the principle which governs this system of relations. Legitimation of the established order, by the School, presupposes social recognition of the legitimacy of the School, a recognition resting in turn on misrecognition of the delegation of authority which establishes that legitimacy, or, more precisely, on misrecognition of the social conditions of a harmony between structures and habitus sufficiently perfect to engender misrecognition of the habitus as a product reproducing what produces it and correlative recognition of the structure of the order thus reproduced. Thus, the educational system objectively tends, by concealing the objective truth of its functioning, to produce the ideological justification of the order it reproduces by its functioning.

Larry Klayman’s Brief Career As A Criminal Defense Attorney???

The Jury Simply Wasn’t Buying Klayman’s Theory Of The Case

A few weeks ago  Larry Klayman, Esq. had a “Butterdezillion Moment.”  He decided when Alvin Onaka, Ph.D, the Hawaiian State Registrar verified to Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett  that “the information in the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama that you attached with your request matches  the original records in our files“,  Onaka was actually failing  to verify that information.

(Click on Image to Enlarge.)

The above blurb was taken from Klayman’s August 29, 2012 letter to DNC General Counsel Robert Bauer, Esq.. (See Note 1 below for a pdf copy of the Arizona Requests and the Hawaiian Verification, and Klayman’s letter to Bauer.) Klayman went on to add:

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

Let’s deconstruct this a little:

Onaka States:  “the information in the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama that you attached with your request matches  the original records in our files.”

Klayman Responds: Onaka was asked to verify the birth facts for Barack Hussein Obama that are claimed on the birth certificate posted on the White House website and pointedly failed to do so.

Klayman Responds: Mr. Onaka undeniably failed to verify that the image posted at whitehouse.gov “is a true and accurate representation of the original record in [the DOH] files.”

Klayman falls into the same tar pit of confusion that Birther Butterdezillion fell into. In fact, I think Klayman is using her journey into illogic as his starting point. Referencing the full pdf copies of the Arizona requests, and Onaka’s Verification below,  Ken Bennett made 3 separate requests. First, he filled out a Verification Request Form which had 6 items of identifying information typed in. Then, he requested verification of 10 separate pieces of information, and finally a blanket request that the White House long form image was a true and accurate representation of the original file.

Without going too deeply into the mechanics of the situation again, all 3 requests were verified. The first request was answered by the Verification itself. As Hawaii law states (See full statute in Note 2 below.):

(b) A verification shall be considered for all purposes certification that the vital event did occur and that the facts of the event are as stated by the applicant.

The 6 typed in items were stated by Ken Bennett, the applicant, and thus confirmed by the Verification itself, as emphasized by the first 2 items on Onaka’s list.  The second request covering 10 items of information was specifically verified as items 3 through 12 on Onaka’s list. Finally, Onaka specifically stated the White House image matched the records on file. All this can be seen in the Note 1 Arizona pdf.

What I want to do is look more closely at Onaka’s response to that last request:   “The information in the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama that you attached with your request matches  the original records in our files.”  I submit that if that statement had been the only response on the Verification form, that statement alone would have answered all three of Arizona SOS Ken Bennett’s request.

The reason is, that each of the 6 items typed into the Verification Request Form also appear on the White House long form image. The same is true of the 10 separate pieces of information for which Bennett requested Verification. If all that information is on the long form image, then in effect, these are “the facts of the event are as stated by the applicant.” And, Onaka’s “verification  shall be considered for all purposes certification that the vital event did occur and that the facts of the event are as stated by the applicant.”

Klayman, and his mixed–up mentor, Butterdezillion, are busily engaged in trying to wiggle and squirm their way out of Onaka’s Verification. Both are more concerned with what Onaka did NOT say, then what he did say. They try to pretend that there is some huge and legally significant difference between the phrases identical to and true and accurate representation of and Onaka’s phrase the information attached with your request matches  the original records.

In fact, the two of them argue that by NOT mimicking the exact words of the request, Onaka’s statement means the information has not been verified at all, and in fact is confirmation that the White House long form image and the original records are not the same at all. Butterdezillion has flittered off into the theory that “the word matches means that blank boxes equal filled-in boxes.” Klayman gets his little panties in such a wad that he fires off a series of indignant and foolishly threatening letters to the effect that the recipients darn well better not rely on Onaka’s statement:

the information in the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama that you attached with your request matches the original records in our files.

Oh really??? In actuality, Onaka’s statement provides exactly the proof that the various agencies and groups require. The long form Image that Obama posted matches Hawaii’s records. Only in Birfer World is that statement hard to understand. Which is very unfortunate for Birthers, because darned if that Slippery Onaka hasn’t gone and done it two more times!!! (See the Kansas and Mississippi Verifications in Note 1 below.)

Here is what Onaka said for Mississippi on May 31, 2012:

and here is what Onaka said for Kansas on September 14, 2012:

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

Plus, Alvin Onaka signed off on all three of the Verifications with the same language found on the Mississippi Verification:

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

In spite of all this, the Birthers remain convinced that there is something fishy about the Obama long form Image. If this isn’t DENIAL with a capital D, then there is no such thing as denial. And, the drunks are right when they get 5 DWI’s and still maintain they don’t have a drinking problem. No, this is about as slam dunk as you can get on the birth certificate issue. But I got to thinking about this, and since I don’t want to do like the Birther Blogs, and put one thing in my title something else in the article, let’s examine a hypothetical situation:    Larry Klayman’s Brief Career As A Criminal Defense Attorney!!!

From Larry Klayman’s Closing Argument in Bob “The Bank Robber” Beaumont’s Criminal Trial

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. I want you to know how much I appreciate your time and attention during the course of this trial. We are almost finished, because this is really a simple verdict for you to bring back. The State’s entire case rests on fingerprint evidence, DNA analysis, and other tests which allegedly shows that my client,  Bob Beaumont, robbed the First National Bank. You heard Mr. Clyde from the State Crime Lab testify that he ran a DNA test on the wad of Red Man chewing tobacco the masked bank robber spit on the floor of the bank, as captured on camera.  Mr. Clyde says that DNA matches Bob’s DNA.

You also heard Mr. Clyde testify that fingerprints were all over the marked bills that were recovered from the robbery, and those fingerprints match Bob’s fingerprints. Mr. Clyde also said that a large quantity of human drool was found on those same bills, and the DNA on that drool matches Bob’s DNA.  And, Mr. Clyde, who thinks he is some kind of Match King, says that the fingerprints and DNA found on a gun and ski mask right outside the bank’s front door, matches Bob’s fingerprints and DNA.

And finally, Mr. Clyde testifies that a retinal scan from a hidden bank scanner, and a voice analysis from the bank video tape also match up with Bob’s post arrest retinal scan and voice analysis. Well, there you have it in a nutshell. The State has NO CASE whatsoever! Because when Mr. Clyde says all this stuff matches, he is not saying that all these things are identical! Nor, is he saying that they are true and accurate representations of anything.

Therefore, the State has utterly failed to meet its burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. As a matter of fact, by refusing to say that these things were identical, or true and accurate representations, the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that my client IS INNOCENT! Those of you who were able to stay awake without suffering seizures during the testimony of our expert symantical witness, Butterdezillion Jones, know what I am telling you makes sense.

Forget what Mr. Clyde said during his sworn testimony!  The real question you should be asking is why Mr. Clyde didn’t use those phrases identical to and true and accurate representations.  After this is over, I am going to sue Mr. Clyde. If you 12 people don’t find Bob innocent, then I may sue you too! Remember that when you are back there in that jury room! And remember this:

If the fingerprints match, guilt must not attach!!!

That is how I see this whole thing.

Lord Monckton’s Mathematical Folly (Or, Odds Botchkins!!!)

Lord Monckton Unsuccessfully Tried To Blow Some Smoke

Well, math is certainly not my strong suit so I am probably going to regret this one, but nobody has tackled Lord Monckton of Brenchley’s Eligibility Odds analysis yet. Except that I found after doing this Internet Article, that Dr. Conspiracy had just finished one, too. So here is the link to his, too:

http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/09/miscalculating-the-odds/

Anyway, here is the relevant excerpt from the World Net Daily Internet Article, and the link to the whole article follows the excerpt:

OBAMA ELIGIBILITY ODDS: 1 IN 62.5 QUINTILLION

Lord Monckton crunches the numbers

He cites:

1.   The fact that the registrar’s signature-stamp on the electronic form can be moved about: 100:1 against.
2.   Registrar’s date-stamp ditto: 100:1 against.
3.   Multiple 1-bit monochrome layers and one 8-bit color layer: 60:1. (Experts twice found no such pattern in 600 file-optimization programs: I allow for 10 anomalous programs to exist.)
4.   “Lavishly funded bureaucracy uses wonky typewriter:” 10:1
5.   Human error: Certificate number out of sequence: 25:1
6.   Incorrect birth date of father: 40:1
7.   Use of “African” contrary to written form-filling rules and 20 years before the term came into common use: 25:1
8.   Miscoded statistical data: 25:1 (official government estimate).
9.   White halo around letters: 10:1
10. Chromatic aberration absent: 100:1
11.  Other identity documents: Anomalously worded abstract on short-form birth certificate: 100:1
12.  Two-digit year on selective service stamp against DoD written rules: 100:1 (actually impossible: no two-digit example other than that of Kenya’s “son of the soil” is known)
13.  Non-citizen of Connecticut holds Connecticut social security number: 100:1.

“There are many other errors, but these suffice. Defenders of Mr. Community Organizer say each error could have just happened by accident. I mean, it’s government form-filling, right?,” he wrote. “But here’s where the math comes in. If each error is a genuine accident,  the errors are independent events, so the probabilities of each error are multiplied together to determine the probability that all occurred in one document.

“Thus the odds against all of these errors occurring in a single document except by design are 1 in 100 x 100 x 10 x 10 x 25 x 40 x 25 x 25 x 10 x 100 x 100 x 100 x 100. Accordingly, the probability that Mr. Obama’s birth narrative is in substance true is no better than 1 in 62,500,000,000,000,000,000, or 0.0000000000000000000016.”

He wrote, “Don’t be misled by the simplicity of the method. It’s simple but sound.”

http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/obama-eligibility-odds-1-in-62-5-quintillion/

First, let’s look at the method of determining the odds, from this website:

http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/beyond/articles/gambling/odds.html

Independent vs Dependent Events

People often misunderstand the notion of independent events.  This is a probability term meaning that past events have no influence on future outcomes.  For example, when flipping a coin four consecutive times, the probability of getting four heads is:

This is because the probability of flipping a head if you flip a coin once is ½.  Flipping a coin is an example of an independent event.  When flipping a coin, the probability of getting a head does not change no matter how many times you flip the coin.  When the coin is flipped and the first three flips are heads, the fourth flip still has the probability of ½   However, many people misunderstand that the first three flips somehow influence the fourth flip, but they do not.  The probability is still the same, as if the first three flips had never occurred.

This is simple so far. You put the chance of something happening in the form of a fraction for each event, and then multiply the numerators and denominators. So let’s try it! Pull out 5 cards. Make 3 of them face cards. Turn them over, and pick one. What are the odds it will be a face card? 3 chances in 5. Pick out a second set of 5 cards with 3 of them being face cards. Now turn each set over and pick one card from each set. What is the chance both of them will be face cards??? 3/5  x  3/5 = 9/25.

Now we have the basic math down. Plus we learn something interesting. The more events you have with a fraction less than 1, the more the odds go up. With one set of 5 cards you had a 60% (3/5) chance of drawing a face card.  With 2 sets you have a 36% (9/25) chance of drawing 2 face cards. Monckton has a 13 series of events above, so his game is rigged from the outset to result in lower odds.

Let’s move on to some more concepts. Take the 5 card set and a penny.  The cards have a 3/5 chance of a being a face card, and the penny has a 1/2 chance of being flipped  ”heads.” Multiply those fractions and you get 3/5  x  1/2 = 3/10.  But what does the 3/10 represent??? It can’t stand on its own as just a number without describing in more detail what it represents. Which in this example is the chance of drawing a face card AND getting “heads” on the flip.

Now, let me add a third item to these two, with some dice. What are the odds of me rolling box cars, or double sixes??? Those odds are 1 in 36, or 1/36. What are the odds of drawing a face card from the five card set, flipping “heads” on the penny, and rolling a double six???  Here’s the math: 3/5  x  1/2  x  1/36 or 3/360 or 1/120.  But the question arises, “What am I really measuring???”

Let’s make it more interesting still. What are the odds that I will break a nail while picking a card, flipping a coin, and rolling the dice??? I put those odds at 1 in 100,000. Now what am I up to in the odds? Here’s the math:  1/120  x  1/100,000 =  1/12,000,000 or 1 in 12 million. But the question arises once more, “What am I really measuring???” These are unconnected things.  I am picking the card, flipping the coin, rolling the dice, and breaking a nail all on the same desk top. What are the odds of that happening on the same desk top??? The answer is 1 in 12 million, but as you can see this is a basically meaningless number.

But I am still NOT happy with this number. I want it to be higher. Sooo, I am going to find a non-event, assign odds to it, and put it into the math mix. What I need for my non-event is something that either doesn’t happen at all, or if it does happen, it is not really what we normally think of as a measurable event, such as flipping a coin.  How about how many times does McDonalds fail to give me ketchup with my drive thru order.  That’s about 1 time in 4, or 1/4.  That makes the odds for everything (pick face card, flip “heads”, roll box cars, break a nail, and fail to receive ketchup)  about 1 in 48 million. See how easy it is to work your way up?

But, the McDonalds non-event needs more explanation. Simply not getting ketchup may not be an event at all because it is possible that I only ordered coffee at the window, and that typically does not require ketchup. Or, it could be that I ordered a dinner meal and no fries. Or, I just wasn’t feeling like ketchup on that trip, and so did not request any. Or, that I had some extra ketchup in the car.  Trying to pin a set of odds on a situation like that is very problematic. It is possible it wasn’t a failure at all.

Monckton slyly engages in this same practice. He mixes facts and conjectures about an electronic image and tries to make the nexus the fact that they all occur about the same document. He goes further, because he also picks some events which are not agreed to constitute events by the non-Birther side. This is like saying “heads” were flipped, when one party to the action does not believe the coin was flipped at all. But Monckton makes the leap, and then assigns those contested facts odds as if they were not contested. This is great if you trying to run the number up, but pretty much meaningless for any other purpose. It will take a while, but let’s examine Monckton’s 13 so-called independent events in more detail.

1.   The fact that the registrar’s signature-stamp on the electronic form can be moved about: 100:1 against. 

I am going to call this one a non-event.  This is more like saying the coin exists, but it has not been flipped. The signature stamp on the paper document can not be moved about. If it can on the electronic image, it is not necessarily indicative of anything wrong.

2.   Registrar’s date-stamp ditto: 100:1 against.

I am going to call this one a non-event, also.  The date stamp on the paper document can not be moved about. If it can on the electronic image, it is not necessarily indicative of anything wrong.

3.   Multiple 1-bit monochrome layers and one 8-bit color layer: 60:1. (Experts twice found no such pattern in 600 file-optimization programs: I allow for 10 anomalous programs to exist.)

Three time’s the charm, I guess. I am going to call this one a non-event, too.  There are no layers on the paper document. If  there are  on the electronic image, it is not necessarily indicative of anything wrong.

4.   “Lavishly funded bureaucracy uses wonky typewriter:” 10:1 

I’m sorry. Has the Hawaii DOH been shown to have been lavishly funded in 1961? Did I miss that?  And what is a “wonky” typewriter as compared to a non-wonky one? If we are going to go all mathy on this, can we at least get some discrete measurable independent events???

5.   Human error: Certificate number out of sequence: 25:1

I am beginning to see a pattern here. Monckton is choosing things which are NOT events at all. There is NO proof that the certificate number is out of sequence. In fact, Alvin Onaka. Ph.D, Hawaii State Registrar has thrice verified the number as correct.

6.   Incorrect birth date of father: 40:1 

This is not a measurable event to which you can assign odds. No one knows what caused it.  Was it a typo, or did somebody lie, or did somebody just mess up by accident???

7.   Use of “African” contrary to written form-filling rules and 20 years before the term came into common use: 25:1

Again, a non-event. This isn’t contrary to anything. The Cold Case Posse used the wrong coding book. I am becoming disappointed in Lord Monckton. We are halfway through this stuff, and there has not been one single discrete measurable independent event.

8.   Miscoded statistical data: 25:1 (official government estimate).

What miscoded statistical data??? The penciled in “9″ is the correct number. Zullo and Corsi were using the wrong coding manual.

9.   White halo around letters: 10:1

Are we back to non-events again??? This is on the electronic image. There are no white halos on  the paper document.

10. Chromatic aberration absent: 100:1

Damn non-event again.

11.  Other identity documents: Anomalously worded abstract on short-form birth certificate: 100:1

Nope, he’s gone to a different document to multiply against the long form birth certificate. This is just for the purpose of making the number larger, like me adding broken fingernails to the discrete measurable events.

12.  Two-digit year on selective service stamp against DoD written rules: 100:1 (actually impossible: no two-digit example other than that of Kenya’s “son of the soil” is known)

Nope, again. Different document. Same reasoning as 11 above. Plus, there is no evidence that the stamp wasn’t broken. How many 1981 documents from that post office have been analyzed???

13.  Non-citizen of Connecticut holds Connecticut social security number: 100:1.

This one might be a keeper, although it doesn’t relate to the birth certificate. There probably is a way to measure how often the SSA assigned group numbers to non-residents of the state. But that doesn’t prove anything was wrong. It could have been a typo.

Now I am kind of irritated here. I went and studied up on some math, and practiced multiplying fractions and Lord Monckton didn’t have but one marginally measurable event out of 13 alleged independent events. Everything else was an alleged incongruity of some sort, but mostly on the electronic pdf image. In other words, because Corsi and the Cold case Posse couldn’t figure out how the paper document was scanned and uploaded, they came up with a bunch of ALLEGED errors, which His Majesty, or whatever you call him, tried to shoehorn into a phony probability analysis.

What is the chance that was an accident on Monckton’s part??? Let’s see, if we assume there is a 1 in 2 chance it was an honest boo-boo on his part, and we have 13 boo-boos, then 1/2 to the 13th power equals 1/8192 or 1 chance in 8,192 that it was an honest mistake.

For shame Lord Monckton of Brenchley!!!

Note 3. Odds Botchkins.  This is a word play on the epithet, Odd Bodkins:

Odd’s bodkins is a mild profane oath, which literally means ‘God’s dear body!’ It’s now archaic, but was used as an exclamation like God damn! or a host of others.

The usual form of the second word is bodikin, which is a diminutive of body (the diminutive suffix -kin is found in such other words as lambkin). The expression occurs in Shakespeare (Hamlet: “Odds bodikins, man,” with a variant reading from the Quarto of “bodkin”), Fielding, and Smollet, among others. Expressions like this were very common in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; some other examples are ‘sblood (God’s blood), ‘snails (God’s nails), zounds (God’s wounds), and gadzooks (God’s hooks).

The word is unrelated to bodkin ’a small dagger or pointed instrument’, which itself occurs in Hamlet, in the “to be or not to be” speech (“He himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin”). This word dates back to the fourteenth century, and is of uncertain origin.

Botch means to mess something up.

Blowing Smoke means bragging or boasting. (Blowing smoke is similar to “hot air;” it has little substance, and dissipates rapidly.)

Orly Taitz Cracks Up In Indianapolis!!! (A Prediction) UPDATED

Orly Taitz Learned Once Again That Her Formula Was All Wrong

Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. has been such a buzzsaw of activity lately that I can barely keep up with all her activity. Later today, she appears in Judge Reid’s court in Indianapolis. I think the only thing on the docket is an emergency hearing for injunctive relief:

Law offices of Dr. Orly Taitz

Honorable Sherry K. Reid granted a motion by Attorney Orly Taitz to conduct an emergency hearing for injunction preventing Candidate for the U.S. President in 2012 Barack Hussein Obama to be on the ballot in the State of Indiana due to fraud committed by Obama and due to his use of forged IDs.

Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barack (Barry) Soetoro, aka Barack(Barry) Soebarkah, a citizen of Indonesia and possibly still a citizen of Kenya, committed fraud by submitting his candidacy to be on the ballot in Indiana and other states, as he is using a forged birth certificate, forged Selective Service certificate and a stolen Connecticut Social Security number 042-68-4425 as a proof of his identity.

http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=282159

Taitz doesn’t have enough ammunition to make a case, much less enough to merit injunctive relief. I predict she will crash and burn. She and the Birthers will blame the judge as usual.

The blog, Oh For Goodness Sake, points out that Indiana has an anti-SLAPP law, and since Taitz has sued  a radio station and its talk show host,  she may be looking at paying their attorney’s fees.

http://ohforgoodnesssake.com/?p=23614

UPDATE: According to FogBow observers, Judge Reid denied Orly Taitz’s Motion For Injunction because of a lack of evidence. Therefore, this is no longer a PREDICTION, but FACT.

Note 1.  The Indianapolis 500. Car racing is really not my thing, but I know they have a big race every year in Indianapolis. Wiki says:

The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, also known as the Indianapolis 500, the 500 Miles at Indianapolis, the Indy 500 or The 500, is held annually over the Memorial Day weekend, the last full weekend in May, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. The event lends its name to the IndyCar class, or formula, of open-wheel race cars that have competed in it.

The event, billed as The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, is considered one of the three most significant motorsports events in the world. The official attendance is not disclosed by Speedway management, but the permanent seating capacity is more than 257,000 people, and infield seating raises capacity to an approximate 400,000.

Which explains the Caption. The Image is of somebody named Vitor Meira, who didn’t die in this 2009 wreck. There were some really good pictures I found, but they were of fatal wrecks, so I didn’t think it was right to use them just to poke fun at Orly Taitz.

Perplexed Pixelated Patriot Packs A Peck Of Panicky Piffle!!!

After Finishing Off The Punch Bowl, The Pixelated Patriot Was Ready To Piddle Around

Some blogger known as the Pixel Patriot has written a nonsensical article:

BREAKING: EVIDENCE EMERGES FBI PROTECTING USURPER OBAMA SOETORO SOEBARKAH

Now how does Pixel Patriot go about proving this sensational charge???

First, he lays out a historical fact from World War II:

Velvalee Dickinson or the “Doll Woman” was convicted of espionage against the United States for Japan during World War II. FBI Laboratory cryptographers determined from her intercepted letters about dolls which she encrypted had referenced Allied war ships involved in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Coded words were intended to inform the enemy of the status of these ships such as their location, condition and repair.

Next, he springs this judicial SMOKING GUN, where a judge in the above case used the term NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!!!

Federal District Court Judge Shackelford Miller Jr.’s comments during the sentencing of Velvalee Dickinson were significant because he directly correlated the connection of why being a Natural Born Citizen is at the heart of one’s loyalty to their country:

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

Because Velvalee Dickinson was born on American soil (Jus Soli) to two parents who were both American citizens at the time she was born (Jus Sanguini), the court “found it hard to believe” she could be disloyal. Therefore, the court considered in its comments at sentencing the classification of Natural Born Citizen to be a method by which citizens of the nation derive their loyalty to the nation.

Thirdly, Pixel Patriot brings in the all important Elementary School angle:

The NSA or the National Security Agency provides educational materials to Elementary schools for academic development. At their website under the ACADEMIA TAB can be found Elementary School Concept Development Units dating as far back as 1995. For this outreach the agency uses the application of math, statistical analysis, fractions, Geometry/Algebra, measurements and patterns in a classroom setting.

On page 56 the requirements for being President of the United States are included as “Other Useful Information”. It does not inform the participant that the requirements are from Article II of the U.S. Constitution but it does state that you MUST:

- Be a natural born citizen.

- Be at least 35 years old.

- Have lived in the United States for 14 years.

MUST would indicate these are not optional. So does the Constitution.

However, in 2004, this same exercise did not include the additional useful information.
(archived here)

Fourthly, Pixel Patriot brings in the U.S. military, who uses the term NATURAL BORN CITIZEN:

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

And finally, (Thank God!) he ties in something from the USCIS, who also use the term NATURAL BORN CITIZEN:

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS has regulations that delineates between native born Citizens and natural-born Citizens.  The implications being Article II of the U.S. Constitution is not some archaic or out-dated concept.  It is an existing law that requires compliance.

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

Here is a link to the whole ball of wax so that you can try to make sense of it for yourself:

http://pixelpatriot.blogspot.com/2012/09/breaking-evidence-emerges-fbi.html

Now, did anybody else notice that you don’t ever see anything about these entities defining natural born citizens to require two citizen parents??? Do two citizen parents produce natural born citizens? Of course. So do two Lapplanders if the kid is born inside the United States.  Did Pixel Patriot ever tie in World War II to Obama, who was born 20 years later? Or, did he tie in the elementary school stuff in 2004, about 40 years after Obama was in elementary school, to anything? Is there anything at all in the article to support this headline:

BREAKING: EVIDENCE EMERGES FBI PROTECTING USURPER OBAMA SOETORO SOEBARKAH

Pixel Patriot simply found the words natural born citizen here and there across the Internet, ascribed the Birther definition to it, and then concluded that anybody who doesn’t act as if that definition was accurate and legally valid is guilty of something.  Job done! However, there is no actual reasoning in the article. There is no recognition of the multiple courtroom losses. There is no recognition that most Americans don’t believe the two citizen parent nonsense, and more importantly that ZERO courts have bought into it. Where has Pixel Patriot been for the last four years???

There is not even logical consistency. If the Birther definition requiring two citizen parents is so self-evident, then where is the cover-up???  Heck, the whole country is on it. Why didn’t he write an article entitled this:

BREAKING: EVIDENCE EMERGES JEROME CORSI PROTECTING USURPER OBAMA SOETORO SOEBARKAH

I mean, Jerome Corsi never said anything about Obama requiring two citizen parents in his 2008 book,The  Obama Nation. Was Deputy Jerry in on it, too???

This is a dumb, idiotic, childish, superficial article and very poorly argued. Pixel Patriot did a pretty good job of insuring every sentence had a subject and a verb, but beyond that any relationship to comprehensible argument is missing. It is like something a monkey banging on a keyboard with automatic SpellChek and GrammarChek would produce. Which made it good enough to get fifteen minute of infamy at ObamaReleaseYourRecords.

Do any Birthers actually read beyond the headlines of crap like this???

Vermont Saps At Sea!!! (Or, A Week Case???)

Frantic, Apuzzo And Paige Show The Washington Times National Weekly Ad To An Uninterested Judge

Oh My!  Vermonter H. Brooke Paige and his putative attorney, Mario “The Mangler” Apuzzo, Esq. nearly set a record for how quickly their Birther lawsuit seeking to keep Obama off the ballot got denied by the court. The lawsuit was filed on September 5, 2012 but did not hit the news until September 17, 2012.

Less than a week later, by Friday, September 21, 2012, Judge Robert Bent had already denied the injunction. These excerpts are from the Burlington Free Press:

H. Brooke Paige of the town of Washington had asked the Vermont Superior Court in Montpelier for an injunction to stop distribution of the ballots. Paige contends Obama is not a “natural born citizen” as required by the U.S. Constitution because his father was not an American citizen at the time of Obama’s birth.

“The court has been presented with a radically insufficient basis on which to issue a temporary or even a preliminary injunction,” Judge Robert Bent wrote in a four-page ruling issued late Friday afternoon. [Sept. 21, 2012]

Bent, however, signaled that he thinks there is little evidence to support Paige’s claim that Obama is not a “natural born citizen,” noting the jurists in a number of other states had reviewed that issue and rejected it.

“The myriad versions of the claim that President Obama is ineligible for office because he is not a ‘natural born citizen’ have been litigated throughout the country exhaustively,” Bent wrote. “They have never succeeded, usually on standing or jurisdictional bases.”

The full story is here:

Judge-denies-request-to-take-Obama-off-Vermont-ballot

I will post a copy of the 4 page decision as soon as it is available.  I am not sure if the case in chief goes on or not.  Paige seems to think it does. All in all, this does not speak well about Apuzzo’s legal abilities. The Article II Constitutional Expert’s opinion on natural born citizenship got disrespectfully whomped upside the head before the lawsuit was even served on Defendant Obama.  Shouldn’t an expert win a case every once in a while??? Anyway, I guess Mario Apuzzo needs to update  his Curriculum Vitae:

As far as H. Brooke Paige, I wonder if he will say to Apuzzo, “Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into!”

Note 1. The Image. This is from the 1940 film, Saps At Sea, starring Laurel and Hardy. Wiki says about the film: Wiki says:

Stan and Ollie work in a horn factory, where Ollie is sent home after developing “hornophobia” and starts going crazy each time he hears horns or horn-based musical instruments. A physician (Jimmy Finlayson) is called to treat Ollie and, warning Ollie that he could develop a more serious condition, “hornomania,” he prescribes a relaxing boat trip and goat’s milk. Ollie dismisses the idea because he is afraid to sail on the ocean, but Stan prescribes an alternative: they will simply rent a boat and keep it attached to the dock, getting all the sea air they can while never actually going out to sea. When Stan’s trombone teacher arrives and Ollie hears the music and throws the teacher out, he knows he should take that advice.

Stan and Ollie rent an unseaworthy boat called Prickly Heat that is supposed to stay moored to the dock. An escaped murderer named Nick Grainger stows away on the boat to avoid being caught by the police. The goat which they have brought to provide milk chews away at the docking line and overnight the boat drifts out to sea. Nick confronts Stan and Ollie with a gun (which he affectionately names “Nick Jr”) and tells them to make him breakfast. They have no food on board, so they decide to prepare Nick a “synthetic” breakfast made up of string, soap and whatever else they can find. Nick spies on them and realizes what they are up to, and forces them to eat the fake food. Stan becomes inspired and starts to play his trombone. Ollie starts to go crazy and overcomes the criminal.

Here is a short clip, dealing with an “expert.”

Note 2. The Title. Saps is a reference to Vermont, which is famous for it’s Maple Syrup. But it also means a “sucker.” “At Sea” is an idiom which means:

(all) at sea (about something)

Figuratively, to be confused; to be lost, confused, and bewildered. (Alludes to being lost at sea.) When it comes to higher math, John is totally at sea.

Mississippi Court Does NOT Put Orly Taitz Out Of Her Misery!!!

How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath to say to me that thou art out of breath? Is the news good or bad, answer to that.

Well, what a strange day!  I don’t mind admitting I guessed wrong about what would happen in the Mississippi Birther lawsuit. A few hours ago I predicted that Judge Henry T. Wingate would go ahead dismiss the whole mess and send Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. packing. But he didn’t. First, he denied her Motion to Remand, which would have sent the suit back to state court. Because Taitz made a Federal RICO claim, the Defendants have the right to be heard in federal court as opposed to state court.

In short, Taitz screwed herself by filing this Amended Complaint, posted by Jack Ryan of the Fogbow:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/92041719/2012-04-19-Taitz-First-Amended-Complaint-Petition

92041719-2012-04-19-Taitz-First-Amended-Complaint-Petition

Ironically, some part of the RICO/Amended Complaint thing came about because Taitz wanted to add in Defendants from certain websites, like Fogbow, who teased her and were a thorn in her side:

(Click on Image to enlarge.)

Judge Wingate gave her three weeks to properly serve the remaining Defendants in the case. At that time, the Defendants would have time to answer the Complaint.  Then, the Court would hear the Defendants’ Motions For Judgment on the Pleadings, which will result in dismissal. Oh For Goodness Sake has the first hand reports from Fogbow secret agents:

http://ohforgoodnesssake.com/?p=23511

In Update 1 to that article, we find:

Taitz is going to try to serve other defendants (those she has named) but the judge also reminded her that she might be multiplying the litigation and could be sanctioned under 28 U.S.C. sec. 1927. I’m not sure Taitz heard or understood any of that.

This is the same statute which recently resulted in Birther attorney Van Irion being socked for more than $20,000.00 in costs. And the Court was being nice in that one by cutting back his exposure to some degree.  I warned Taitz about this possibility in an earlier Internet Article:

http://birtherthinktank.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/28-u-s-c-%C2%A71927-sanctions-or-be-afraid-orly-taitz-be-very-afraid/

This is what sets up the terrible damned-if-she-does and damned-if-she-doesn’t scenario. If Taitz serves the other Defendants with what is obviously a frivolous Complaint, she only increases the potential financial costs to herself. If she doesn’t serve them, then she risks getting dismissed as soon as the Defendants Motions are heard.

I would not be surprised to see her file another Amended Complaint, this time without the Federal RICO claim.  If it flies, this would take her out of federal court, and away from the 28 U.S.C. sec. 1927  penalties. If not, the attempt to get away could even raise the costs. The Court could have put her out of her misery today, but chose not to.

Is that a good thing???

Note 1. The Image. This is from the 1924 film, The Silent Flapper.

http://www.silentfilmstillarchive.com/perfect_flapper.htm

As Wiki notes:

The film was made in the wake of the tremendous hit Flaming Youth. Originally intended to reunite the cast and crew of Flaming Youth, not everyone was available. The film was made as a comedy with dramatic undertones, while Flaming Youth had been a drama with comic aspects. To cash in on the popularity of Colleen’s “flapper” character, the word “flapper” made it into the title. An additional draw was that the film showed a lot of skin.[1] Sydney Chaplin was, of course, Charlie’s older half-brother. The film was generally well-received as good light entertainment: “…you have been entertained and not caused to think too much.”[2] The film did not match the popularity of Flaming Youth.(An accounting of the earnings of Colleen’s pictures dated December 31, 1928 lists to total earnings,of Flaming Youth ($798,777 by 1928). The Perfect Flapper earned $531,008.56.[3]

Note 2. Flap-Flapper

Flap means:

A state of agitation; a panic
- they’re in a flap over who’s going to take Henry’s lectures

Flapper means:

1. (in the 1920s) A fashionable young woman intent on enjoying herself and flouting conventional standards of behavior

2. A thing that flaps, esp. a movable seal inside a toilet tank
- flush the tank to make sure that the flapper is not dropping

Tomorrow the Birther Circus comes to Mississippi, led by Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. and a pack of zanies.

I did not see a request for monetary sanctions in it, which is a shame. But, that can still be done after Judge Wingate sends Orly Taitz and the Birthers packing. The title of Faulkner’s Sound and the Fury was based The title of the novel is taken from Macbeth’s soliloquy in Act  5, Scene 5 of Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth:

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

That pretty well describes all of the Birther lawsuits, not just this one. Orly Taitz will return to California, or maybe Indiana, and put out several posts about crooked and corrupt judges, and snarky Obots, and treason. Birthers will fall for it again.  Perhaps she will add them all to her new massive lawsuit, before it gets dismissed.  Rinse, and repeat. What was that other thing Shakespeare said:

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time. . .

Note 1. The Image. This is a shot of Dilsey (played by Ethel Waters) from the 1959 film, The Sound and the Fury, based on a novel by William Faulkner of Mississippi. Here is a brief synopsis of the film:

In this filmed adaptation of William Faulkner’s seminal work, Yul Brynner stars as Jason Compson, the oldest son of a once-proud Southern family rife with inner turmoil. His promiscuous sister, Caddy (Margaret Leighton), has suddenly rolled back into town with an illegitimate daughter called Quentin (Joanne Woodward) in tow. Finding no love in her own clan, Quentin opts for a relationship with Charlie Bush, an irresponsible circus worker played by Stuart Whitman. Meanwhile, Ben (Jack Warden), a mentally-handicapped uncle, is a never-ending source of embarrassment for all concerned. Directed by Martin Ritt, this was the first film to be made from The Sound and the Fury. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi
