A QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY, Obama's identity fraud and Mickey Mouse media Exclusive: Diana West blasts press' 'psychosis of denial' in coverage of president 12/6/15
From the “A” section of the New York Times, Page 15, in less than 100 words, the
psychosis of denial as it is hard-wired into American journalism:
Six
years into his presidency, there seems to be almost nothing the
nation does not know about Mr. Obama, ranging from his views on
the use of drones to target terrorists to how his daughters have less interest
in hanging out with him as they become teenagers.
But little is known about the state of his game and what he
is like on the golf course, where he has spent roughly 1,000
hours playing 214 rounds since he was elected in 2008, according to Mark
Knoller, a CBS correspondent who has kept track of the president’s schedule.
With
this, the “paper of record” proceeds to “inform” readers about the
never-before-revealed details of Barack Hussein Obama’s golf game.
Now
we know everything? Fat chance. For starters, there’s that unsolved mystery of
why there is a piece of phony electronic artwork on the White House website
purporting to be an image of a 1961 government document attesting to the
details of Barack Obama’s birth. That this is evidence of what is likely
the biggest case of identity fraud in history isn’t news to American media
investigating more pressing matters (e.g., the presidential golf game). Nor, it
seems, is other evidence of fraud or forgery from different investigations
and numerous court proceedings. But it’s not just media (exception: WND.com)
that turn their collective blind eye. Relevant federal, state and local
authorities (exception: Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio) have consistently
ignored, derided or buried all such evidence rather than carry out their legal
responsibilities.
Interestingly,
the president himself hasn’t ignored it all. He can’t. When he must, Obama has
paid untold sums to legal teams to defend himself in court against the multiple
challenges to his eligibility to serve as president that crescendoed in 2012.
In a case questioning Obama’s
eligibility for the 2012 presidential ballot in Georgia, evidence was introduced in
an administrative law court to prove that the president is using a
Connecticut Social Security number (he never lived in Connecticut), that
Obama’s Social Security number was never really issued to him, and that his
Social Security number does not pass the U.S. government’s own E-Verify test.
The
Obama legal response? Obama lawyer Michael Jablonski tried to deflect the
Social Security issue – which itself indicates an epic case of possible felony
fraud – not by proving the allegations to be false and ridiculous, but rather
by pointing out that “nothing in the Constitution makes … participating in
Social Security a prerequisite to serving as president.”
Is
that what a normal person, even a president, who has a regular old Social
Security number would do?
The
simplest line of defense is always going to be the truth – if, that is, one’s
Social Security number is on the up-and-up. The Obama defense, however, was to
bypass the fraud charges altogether and point out that having a Social Security
number is not a prerequisite to serving as president!
Isn’t
this rather curious legal strategy worth some media scrutiny – maybe even just
one follow-up question? Nope. Gotta stake out that presidential putting green.
Walking away from allegedly dirty
documents became the basis of the Obama defense. Obama lawyers took this same
tack – not to defend allegedly false identity documents but rather show them to
be irrelevant to presidential eligibility – in a 2012 New Jersey ballot challenge. (More
unusually, so did the administrative law judge in the case, Jeff Masin,
who actually seemed to help Obama lawyer Alexandra Hill
stick to her own team’s defensive strategy.) In the New Jersey case, the Obama
defense rested on the fact that because Obama did not present his birth
certificate to state election officials (and, by law, was not required to do
so), forgery or not, it was irrelevant to his eligibility to appear on the
ballot.
As
Judge Mazin put it: “So the question of whether the document that is produced
turns out to be a forgery, it seems to me is irrelevant because he hasn’t
produced it.” Obama lawyer Hill later replied: “You could have Mickey Mouse …
and everyone could sign up and go with it.”
No
further questions, said the media – in fact, no questions at all.
Meanwhile,
the lawyer did raise a good point. Mickey Mouse would have been a definite
improvement over Obama, and not just for the country.
