The blog is written by Dan Pfeifer, a know-nothing who can claim he didn’t know the BC he posted was a forgery. The HDOH can say they were only quoting Dan Pfeifer. None of the people who would know the truth about it being a forgery are willing to put THEIR NAME ON THE LEGAL GUILLOTINE for this claim. Instead they said (in effect), “Look over there! Dan Pfeifer says Obama posted his birth certificate!”
But the fact that the MDEC attorneys knew to do that ploy - knew that this was the acceptable accommodation for the HDOH, to give them an extra layer of insulation between them and outright perjury - suggests something a little more cozy between these players. Just like Stig’s newly-altered BC# being shown by CNN 2 days before Obama’s forged long-form (having Stig’s BC# on it) indicates a bit of “coziness” there on the part of some critical players...
If I were these critters I’d be getting pretty uncomfortable right now. And maybe that’s why we’ve got so many critters on these threads in the past few days...

How one 1957 meeting in upstate New York was the beginning of the end for the mob

What Croswell didn’t know was that inside Barbara’s farmhouse was a gathering of more than 100 mobsters, among them heads of organized crime from New York’s Five Families, as well as underbosses and made men from 13 states plus Cuba and Sicily. It was the largest-ever meeting of the most powerful players in the Mafia, a sitdown to eat some veal, drink wine and talk rackets and territories at the peak of La Cosa Nostra’s influence in America.

The significance of Apalachin was not the roundup itself, but in how it changed the way Americans saw the mob.
Apalachin revealed that the Mafia was not merely a loose collection of rackets. The array of license plates alone at Apalachin showed it was indeed a shadowy national syndicate.
“No one had really ripped off the veil and seen that this was not just a couple of isolated hoods, but a vast national organization,” federal mob buster and Mayor Rudy Giuliani would say years later. “Apalachin gave the first demonstrative, solid evidence that this was a very large criminal conspiracy.”
Apalachin was a slap in the face to the FBI, which long insisted the Mafia was a myth. (In the 1950s, J. Edgar Hoover was preoccupied with hunting down communists. His New York field office devoted 400 agents to “subversives” and four to organized crime.) Robert F. Kennedy took up the fight both as counsel to Senate committees probing racketeering and with still greater tenacity in the ’60s as US attorney general.
And arguably it all began when the media ran wild with the Apalachin story, tickled by the what Reavill calls the “city mouse in the country” comedy of pinkie-ringed hoodlums on the run, stumbling over rocks and roots in a farming town on the banks of the Susquehanna River.
