Why hasn't mainstream media reported on the birther movement? This may be why..........

When the first official U.S. law enforcement investigation into the
matter, led by Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, established "probable cause"
that the document released with great fanfare by the White House last
April is a computer-generated forgery, a virtual media blackout on the
investigation ensued.



Even when one of the six-month investigation's bombshell findings – that
the family of unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers allegedly funded
"foreign student" Barack Obama through Harvard Law School – was rated by
Internet ranking service Alexa.com as one of the top-read news stories
in the entire world (thanks to coverage by WND and the Drudge Report),
both the establishment press and the "conservative" media looked the
other way.




Here are a few recent examples:


    • Recently, a top Breitbart.com editor said he believed "there's no
    evidence" to support allegations questioning Obama's eligibility as
    president, adding, "It's a waste of resources, and it's a waste of
    time." But soon after, when reporting that Obama's literary agent from
    the early ‘90s had officially publicized Obama as having been “born in
    Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii,” Breitbart editors took great pains to distance themselves from any possible “birther” implications.



    • Shortly after Arpaio's March 1 press conference, a popular column
    discussing Obama's eligibility to serve as president was published on
    Townhall.com – which bills itself as the "leading conservative and
    political opinion website" – but then, the column inexplicably
    disappeared from the site.Titled "Sheriff Joe Exposes Forgery of Obama's
    Selective Service Registration," by Floyd and Mary Beth Brown of the
    Western Center For Journalism, it had been Townhall's eighth-most-read
    and most-emailed column that day. Then suddenly it was gone – and WND's
    requests for comment failed to elicit any explanation from Townhall.



    • Then another regular Townhall columnist, Diana West, wrote "Why the
    Silence About Obama's Historic Scam?"but found that it wasn't posted on
    Townhall at all. Worse, it was déjà vu for West, whose previous column
    on the same topic likewise was spiked.When WND asked West why her last
    two columns on the subject of Obama's eligibility weren't posted on
    Townhall, she responded: "This week's empty hole where my column on
    media silence on Sheriff Arpaio's press conference would normally go,
    like last month's empty hole where my column on the Atlanta court
    proceeding on eligibility would normally go, speak for themselves."



    • Forbes online recently published a provocative article by John
    Mariotti, titled, "Is There An Imposter In The White House?" It started
    off this way: "There is something very wrong when the sitting president
    refuses to divulge huge pieces of information about his background. What
    is he hiding? Maybe the 'birthers' were a little extreme, but is there
    something wrong with this 'manufactured candidate,' whose history
    remains sealed from public view? What is he hiding? Could the 'Hawaii
    birth certificate' be a forgery? Is there something much worse – like
    'sponsorship' by an unnamed special interest? I don't know. I do know
    that the man in the White House now is an imposter." Guess what? Shortly
    after it was posted, Forbes inexplicably took the story off its site.
    But you may read it here.



    • What about Fox News? When it was announced that talk radio powerhouse
    "Mancow" Muller would be featured in two one-hour Fox TV specials
    called "Mancow TV Worldwide," the radio host specifically requested that
    WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi be his first guest. Corsi, a two-time
    No. 1 New York Times bestselling author and Harvard Ph.D., was set to
    discuss Iran and Israel, as well as globalism. When Fox was setting up
    the time for Corsi to be interviewed on Muller's debut show, he was
    specifically prohibited by the show's producers from discussing anything
    to do with the constitutional eligibility questions still plaguing
    Obama.

Corsi added, "This confirms stories we've been gathering about the
threats (against reporting on Obama's eligibility)," he said. "In fact,
it's reaching such a level of censorship that it's of interest to the
sheriff's posse."



He was referring to the "Cold Case Posse" of law-enforcement
professionals and attorneys assembled by Arpaio, who announced the
results of their six-month investigation on March 1, and who are
currently in Hawaii continuing their first-ever law enforcement
investigation of Obama's legal eligibility to be president.



Although Arpaio's investigation continues, at the news conference
announcing the initial results, lead investigator Mike Zullo stated,
somewhat ominously: "During our investigation, we actually were told
[that media] had been threatened with FTC investigations [if they
continued reporting on eligibility]. Commentators [had been] threatened
with their jobs."



The threats were so intimidating that some individuals quit their
positions over safety concerns for their families, Zullo confirmed.

Where is America's free press?


Friends, you cannot have a free country without a free press. Yet most of America's "big media" today have devolved into a de facto
government propaganda ministry. And even most of the "conservative"
media are afraid to cover the really consequential stories that – while
important to the nation – can also exact a price from news organizations
reporting them, in terms of threats, ridicule, boycotts, lawsuits and
financial loss.

    some one who is requiring a state stamped notarized copy of the Obama's birth certificate. There is to many unanswered questions on his eligibility, but if you ask those questions you are either labeled a birther or a raciest.

    Mainstream media outlets HAVE reported on the Birther movement, if only to ridicule the lunatic fringe elements who continue to promote their delusion. Mainstream conservative media continue to distance themselves from these lunatics for good reason: they are LUNATICS! No leading conservative is a Birther for the same reason: they are LUNATICS! Even Ann Coulter, who may often be counted upon to regurgitate propaganda for the Conservative Disinformation Network (see http://kaleokualoha2878577.ne... ), rejects Birtherism.

    Despite conclusive evidence from the State of Hawaii confirming Obama's birth ( http://hawaii.gov/health/vita... ), confirmation by both houses of Congress, and despite rejection from mainstream conservatives, the lunatic fringe still challenges his eligibility.

    Even Fox News reports expert opinion that the BC is authentic. See: http://www.foxnews.com/politi... ).

    NOTE: Fox's expert subsequently took issue with Fox's "authentic" claim, and posted “In my humble opinion, what I see about how the PDF is built does not prove any falsification. If there was tampering, we must look elsewhere and not how the PDF was created.” ( http://www.wnd.com/2011/06/31... ) Tremblay's double negative ("does not prove any falsification") may be reasonably interpreted as...

Coupled with a similar opinion from The National Review ( http://www.nationalreview.com... which also found no evidence of falsification, the consensus from leading conservative media is irrefutable.

    Delusion #1 claims that Obama is ineligible because he was not born in the United States, and the State of Hawaii certified birth certificate is a forgery. Delusion #2 claims that Obama is ineligible because his father was not an American. Delusion #3 claims that Obama is ineligible because he lost his American citizenship as a child. Delusion #4 claims that Frank Marshall Davis is actually Obama's father.

    Such delusional thinking is common among the paranoid-schizophrenic denizens of Right-Wing Fantasyland (see http://kaleokualoha2878577.ne...

    Ether 8:1 And it came to pass that he begat Omer, and Omer
    reigned in his stead. And Omer begat Jared; and Jared begat sons
    and daughters.

    Ether 8:2 And Jared rebelled against his father, and came and
    dwelt in the land of Heth. And it came to pass that he did
    flatter many people, because of his cunning words, until he had
    gained the half of the kingdom.

    Ether 8:3 And when he had gained the half of the kingdom he gave
    battle unto his father, and he did carry away his father into
    captivity, and did make him serve in captivity;

    Ether 8:4 And now, in the days of the reigns of Omer he was in
    captivity the half of his days. And it came to pass that he begat
    sons and daughters, among whom were Esrom and Coriantumr;

    Ether 8:5 And they were exceedingly angry because of the doings
    of Jared their brother, insomuch that they did raise an army and
    gave battle unto Jared. And it came to pass that they did give
    battle unto him by night.

    Ether 8:6 And it came to pass that when they had slain the army
    of Jared they were about to slay him also; and he plead with them
    that they would not slay him, and he would give up the kingdom
    unto his father. And it came to pass that they did grant unto him

    that they would not slay him, and he would give up the kingdom
    unto his father. And it came to pass that they did grant unto him
    his life.

    Ether 8:7 And now Jared became exceedingly sorrowful because of
    the loss of the kingdom, for he had set his heart upon the
    kingdom and upon the glory of the world.

    Ether 8:8 Now the daughter of Jared being exceedingly expert, and
    seeing the sorrows of her father, thought to devise a plan
    whereby she could redeem the kingdom unto her father.

    Ether 8:9 Now the daughter of Jared was exceedingly fair. And it
    came to pass that she did talk with her father, and said unto
    him: Whereby hath my father so much sorrow? Hath he not read the
    record which our fathers brought across the great deep? Behold,
    is there not an account concerning them of old, that they by
    their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory?

    Ether 8:10 And now, therefore, let my father send for Akish, the
    son of Kimnor; and behold, I am fair, and I will dance before
    him, and I will please him, that he will desire me to wife;
    wherefore if he shall desire of thee that ye shall give unto him
    me to wife, then shall ye say: I will give her if ye will bring
    unto me the head of my father, the king.

    Ether 8:11 And now Omer was a friend to Akish; wherefore, when
    Jared had sent for Akish, the daughter of Jared danced before him
    that she pleased him, insomuch that he desired her to wife. And
    it came to pass that he said unto Jared: Give her unto me to
    wife.

    Ether 8:12 And Jared said unto him: I will give her unto you, if
    ye will bring unto me the head of my father, the king.

    Ether 8:13 And it came to pass that Akish gathered in unto the
    house of Jared all his kinsfolk, and said unto them: Will ye
    swear unto me that ye will be faithful unto me in the thing which
    I shall desire of you?

    Ether 8:14 And it came to pass that they all sware unto him, by
    the God of heaven, and also by the heavens, and also by the
    earth, and by their heads, that whoso should vary from the
    assistance which Akish desired should lose his head; and whoso
    should divulge whatsoever thing Akish made known unto them, the
    same should lose his life.

    Ether 8:15 And it came to pass that thus they did agree with
    Akish. And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were
    given by them of old who also sought power, which had been handed
    down even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning.

    Ether 8:16 And they were kept up by the power of the devil to
    administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness,
    to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to
    plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and
    whoredoms.

    Ether 8:17 And it was the daughter of Jared who put it into his
    heart to search up these things of old; and Jared put it into the
    heart of Akish; wherefore, Akish administered it unto his kindred
    and friends, leading them away by fair promises to do whatsoever
    thing he desired.

    Ether 8:18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret
    combination, even as they of old; which combination is most
    abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God;

    Ether 8:19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations,
    neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all
    things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.

    Ether 8:20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their
    oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that
    they are had among all people, and they are had among the
    Lamanites.

    Ether 8:21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of
    whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of
    Nephi.

    Ether 8:22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret
    combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over
    the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will
    not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by
    them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance
    upon them and yet he avenge them not.

    Ether 8:23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that
    these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent
    of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations
    shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain--
    and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you,
    yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall
    upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer
    these things to be.

    Ether 8:24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see
    these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of
    your awful situation, because of this secret combination which
    shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of
    them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for
    vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.

    Ether 8:25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up
    seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and
    countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people,
    for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies;
    even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even
    that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the
    beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have

    murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from
    the beginning.

    Ether 8:26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these
    things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come
    that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of
    men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that
    they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be
    saved.

    No, this is a different account of a warning to you and me in these last days that the Devil has a program in place sense the beginning of time to enslave all of us using people, promising them great gain and authority if they will follow him and do as he wishes. Many of our leaders today are followers of these secret combinations set up by Satan and I do not doubt that Obama is supported by such.
