In an explosive interview by Dr. Laurie Roth on her syndicated West Coast radio show on August 7th, Douglas Hagmann—a respected journalist, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network and longtime private investigator, and Judi McLeod, a prolific journalist and the managing editor of Canada Free Press—the reason for the media blackout about the birth-certificate issue was nothing less than organized Mafia-like dire threats to members of the media issued not only from the heads of major TV and radio stations but also from Federal Communication Commission officials!

Thanks to "thethirddegree" for identifying this story.
The Nixonian use of the FCC should be a major issue. But it will never be mentioned. Kind of like that attorney who got fired for investigating ACORN. In and out of the news quicker than you can blink your eye, but should be a major scandal. Much more serious about of power than say a Valerie Plame.
* A major TV talk-show host reported that he was ordered not to raise the birth certificate issue or risk losing his job.
* FCC officials threatened to yank broadcasting licenses, break up conglomerates, and make the enactment of the Fairness Doctrine “look mild” in comparison to other consequences.
* In at least one corporate TV headquarters, memos were circulated to all on-air employees not to mention the birth certificate issue, as well as other specific subjects like Obama’s Illinois lawyer’s license, his college records, etc., under both implied and explicit threats.
*snip*
But they did tantalize listeners with descriptions of meeting with “sources” outside of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, a high-placed contact looking nervously over his shoulder, references to directives and warnings given by “those at the top,” and the undisguised threat of one executive to his underlings: “This is serious, and so will the consequences be if anyone chooses not to be a team player with this.”
This comes as no surprise to Fox watchers who have noticed that the Stalinist-style censorship of the Obama regime is already here. This couldn’t possibly be because of the healthy shares of stock the Saudis bought in Fox, could it?
If so, why would the Saudis care so much about quashing potentially damning revelations about Obama? Have they also bought shares in Obama?
Ping.
And not a chance of that until after the midterm elections and Republicans get some power back.
My take is that the judges, etc, know that there will be intense violent civil unrest if 0bama is removed due to ineligibility.
They need to understand two things - first, the upholding of the law is of utmost importance, and that riots will pretty much be contained in their own neighborhoods, causing upwards of 100’s of dollars in damages.
BTTT
PING
There is also a group of left-wing trolls infecting FR that post to every thread distorting the facts concerning the BC issue.
“59 million Americans joined hands and shouted at the top of their little lungs, `Yes, We Can March off This Cliff.’”
I would applaud their lemming-like jump if it were not for the fact that America itself is chained to them.
I think things are getting sloppy and it's becoming harder and harder to hide the truth. If the American people wake up and find out that it's all a game and that they are the patsies, there will be Hell to pay. Some folks will be hanging from lamp posts before it's all over.
“And not a chance of that until after the midterm elections and Republicans get some power back.”
*If*.
I expect ACORN’s election fraud machine to be a political Juggernaut, by then.
Agreed. We don’t have the right players in the right places at this time.
Makes it pretty obvious why all of this socialism is being crammed into the shortest timeframe imagineable, though.
And NOBODY kept a copy for publication?
Thanks for posting this story MelSmith. I haven’t gotten to posting any articles yet but I guess it’s about time I learned. This particular story has some legs and is worth everyone archiving on their hard drives before it ‘disappears’.
It is possible that the mafia cadre supporting this narcissist- seduced him into believing that a BC cover-up could be perpetrated for at least four years - while he & his co-conspirators imposed Marxism on the US?
The crisis that would erupt if the truth were exposed is also a form of blackmail on those who have the facts and are loathe to start a civil uprising.
Between a rock and a hard place.

News Corp. in Talks for Stake in Saudi Firm
DUBAI — News Corp. is in talks with Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal to take a stake in Rotana Media, marking its first major investment in the Middle East, according to people familiar with the deal.
News Corp. may buy a 20% interest in Rotana from Prince Alwaleed, who controls Saudi conglomerate Kingdom Holding Co., a person involved with the deal told Zawya Dow Jones.
It’s not clear at this stage whether the deal will be for existing stock or new shares. A formal bid valuing the stake is expected this month, the person said, without giving specifics on price.
News Corp., which owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, is increasingly looking into new markets as advertising revenue in the U.S. and Europe slips. A stake in Rotana could help expand News Corp.’s presence to the more than 300 million people in the Arab world.
Rotana, which hosts Fox channels in Saudi Arabia via its TV network, owns rights to more than 2,000 Arabic movies and a large music library.
Kingdom Holding as of last year said it holds a 5.7% stake in News Corp. It has long-established business links with the family of Rupert Murdoch, the chief executive of News Corp.

Saudi Billionaire Boasts of Manipulating Fox News Coverage
Press Release | December 7, 2005
WASHINGTON—Accuracy in Media (AIM) is urging a full inquiry into a report that a Saudi billionaire caused the Fox News Channel (FNC) to dramatically alter its coverage of the Muslim riots in France after he called the network to complain.
The Saudi billionaire, Al-waleed bin Talal, is a friend of News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch and controls an influential number of voting shares in the company. “This report underscores the danger of giving foreign interests a significant financial stake in U.S. media companies,” declared Cliff Kincaid, editor of Accuracy in Media.
The controversial comments came at an Arab media conference featuring representatives of Time magazine, USA Today, PBS, The Wall Street Journal, and other news organizations. The conference and the Saudi Prince’s growing influence in News Corporation are among the subjects of a new December-A AIM Report that has just been posted at the AIM website (http://www.aim.org).
The report raises the specter of Arab money influencing News Corporation and other U.S. media companies. Liberal journalist Danny Schechter, a participant in the conference, reports that Al-waleed, who is a member of the Saudi Royal Family and investor in the Fox News parent company News Corporation, gave an interview boasting that he had called Fox to complain about coverage of the “Muslim riots” in France.
He said he “called as a viewer” and “convinced them to change” the coverage because “they were not Muslim riots but riots against poverty and inequality.”
And “they changed” the coverage, the Saudi reportedly said. Another report on the comments, carried by the Dubai-based newspaper the Khaleej Times, says that Al-waleed personally called Rupert Murdoch to complain. The Saudi said, “After a short while, there was a change” in the coverage.
An AIM call to Fox News asking for comment was not returned. This is not the first time that Al-waleed has made controversial statements. His $10 million contribution to a 9/11 fund was rejected when he blamed the terror attacks on U.S. Middle East policy. Fifteen of the 19 terrorist hijackers on 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia.

Saudi prince takes News Corp stake
By Saeed Shah
Wednesday, 7 September 2005
Rupert Murdoch’s attempts to retain control of his News Corp media empire got a boost yesterday after his ally, the Saudi investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, took a 5.5 per cent stake in the company’s voting stock.
Mr Murdoch was forced to put in place a “poison pill” defence at News Corp, in November to stop a hostile takeover bid after a rival media magnate, John Malone, took an 18 per cent share in the company’s voting stock. News Corp has two classes of stock, with the Murdoch family owning 30 per cent of the key voting shares.

Yes it was very interesting to see the mods ping an anti-birther to a birther thread, regardless of their excuse for doing so.
I know, Carter ruled that the judiciary can’t remove a president,
but everyone understands that declaring him ineligible forces the hand of the legislature to actually deal with the situation,
and they don’t want to be the instigators of that.
*snip*
And as I reminded you, AlWaleed is the sleazy, keffiyeh-encrusted Saudi who, just after the 9/11 attacks, offered then-New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani a $10 million check, if America would change its foreign policy on Israel, implying that the Israelis are morally equivalent to the 9/11 Islamic terrorist hijackers. And he supported Palestinian homicide bombers.
Now, Prince AlWaleed has declared he’s upped his (Kingdom Holding’s) stake in News Corp to 5.7%. Alwaleed also owns Rotana Media, the company that has the exclusive rights to broadcast FOX News Channel in Saudi Arabia.
But that’s not the news here. The news is that AlWaleed Bin Talal’s 5.7 percent share of News Corp. is about to jump even higher because Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. are increasing their incestuous business holdings in Saudi Arabia and Prince AlWaleed’s media ventures there. Murdoch and New Corp. are looking to buy 20% of Rotana, and apparently the deal will be for an exchange of News Corp. stock.
Yes, not only will AlWaleed yield even more control over what’s shown on FOX News–the way he did with the Paris Muslim riots, but Murdoch and News Corp. will likely take further steps to please their new Saudi patrons. The given reason for News Corp.’s investment in Rotana is that it needs new markets, due to falling ad revenue in the U.S. and Europe.
Oh, great.
I wish we could get one ONE state to pass a law in advance of the 2012 election requiring original documentation of all candidates. My guess is we’ll get to the truth.
I’m not really sure why they would worry about riots. They would just burn down their own neighborhoods.....as in the past.
Free The BC!
If there is nothing there, then there is nothing there.
If there is something there, then there is something there.
Seems rather simple to me.
The requirements for president are not complicated. Natural born citizenship is defined in a dozen supreme court cases and the source cited in at least four. The most concise and earliest is Minuteman, founder, delegate to the Virginia Ratification Committee, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Marshall in a case named for a ship. The Venus, 12 U.S. 253, on page 289. A natural born citizen is born of the soil of parents who are its citizens. That definition has never been changed in spite of at least 24 attempts to do so, the last about ten years ago by Orren Hatch. Obama is illegitimate, and no birth certificate need be discovered, not even the one he described having found in Bill Ayres book “Dreams From My Father.”
Judge David O. Carter is a worm. He has no honor. Hiring a Obama mole in the middle of a case as one of his clerks.
This is interesting (and frightening, but seemingly true).
The “standing” issue was EXACTLY created because the SCOTUS did not want the people or government to recognize exactly how impotent and powerless they are. They can order all day, but what do they command to enforce their decisions? How can a judicial member force an equal branch of government (Obama IS the executive branch) to do anything.
The issue should have been addressed before he was given authority, but people were and are fools.
Now I don’t have hope it will be resolved.
Great Post. I will bookmark it and others should read it. Judge David O. Carter sold out his honor, manhood and country.
Now is the time for the states to begin including specific legislation about proof of citizenship, and fact checking of citizenship, prior to being allowed on any ballot. Even if just one state did this, the situation would clear up.
Joan Swirsky writes some of the best stuff on the Interenet. Sadly the newsmedia, judiciary and legislative are bought and paid for. Obama is the Saudis employee and the Saudis are taking over Fox.
Was hoping this republic might be saved by Texas.
The Saudis paid for his Harvard Education with a grant from the Ford Foundation. The grant was sent through the Ford from the Saudis. Tim Gitners' parents controlled the Ford Foundation at the time. Why do you think the tax cheat Timmy got Sec. of Treasury?
You are absolutely correct, and some have been here for a while.
Re: the media blackout about the birth-certificate issue.
Quinn and Rose have been talking about it every day on their radio show. They are still on the air.
Are they defying the “blackout order” or is it that they just have the moral courage and intellectual honesty to go where no other talking heads dare go?
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Do you know how looney that sounds?
The money for his college came by that route. I am not making this up. I said nothing about what happened after college except for his appointment of Timmy. Ask yourself this question. How does a “do nothing” person hide all records of his past and become President? Obama was chosen but not by God.
.
The Canadian Free Press are a distraction, and continue to spout allegations while asserting that they really can’t reveal who was threatened. I don’t know if their objective is site “hits,” but their claims are meaningless. If you really think the notion of “natural born citizen” is too complicated for the masses then perhaps you could help to explain it? Or could it be that you’d like to see the goose chases continue?
For someone to be naturally a citizen at birth, jurists dating from Greek and Roman times, but more importantly, the founders of our country, require birth in the country of citizenship, and parents who are its citizens. Our Constitution only requires natural born citizenship of our president and vice president, because our president is also commander in chief of the military. Is that so complicated?
There are no other definitions. The author of the 14th amendment, John Bingham, reaffirmed the definition above, as have a dozen other cases. Only an amendment to the Constitution can change that definition. Obama is illigitimate. Every bill he signs, every appointment, every treaty, every military order is illigitimate. That seems clear to me. Read the Kerchner/Apuzzo blog or, if he has left his articles intact, the Donofrio blog for more details.
Such convoluted reasoning can only be read as seeking any convenience to avoid honoring the oath the judge took to the Constitution and thus to honor the contract between we the people and the federal oligarchy of which the judge is now a reigning member in fact.
There are several problems with the flawed reasoning --like asserting that the impossibility of plaintiff candidate for presidency, Keyes, being elected eliminated the candidates possibility of being harmed by obama fraud if it occurred-- exposed in the judge's ruling, but that one seems the most egregious. The fix being in was exposed when it was discovered that the judge had recently hired a person who had worked last int he offices of the Pres_ _ent's lawyers at Perkins&Coie.
The issued ruling is so 'progressive in focus' one wonders if the marine on the bench even wrote it! The ruling is so cowardly in speciously excusing the judge from dealing with the case, it is hard to believe an heroic Marine would stoop so low.
Everytime I see this article I have to say to myself “Really? Name some names”.
Until then it basically an “unnamed sources” article of so little value.
But your post linked the funding of his education with the appointment of Geithner as Secretary of Treasury. And that (not you) sounds looney.
And no one seems to know what to do or how to do it.
It was a pay back. Obama has been using our money to do pay backs since he got in office. Paying back Timmy’s parents is not connecting a long dot.
