Why we went dark |

Monday morning Tulsa Today posted an analysis by veteran New York journalist and the recipient of seven Long Island Press Awards, Joan Swirsky, titled, The Great Birth Certificate Scandal/Cover-Up of 08 questioning the missing Barack Obama birth certificate and his eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
![]() This action was taken without warning or formal notice, but after several telephone conversations the picture became clear. Our agreement with Tulsa Connect was for shared hosting service. In that type of service, they load many domains on the same computer server. We were told that of the 300 to 600 client domains on that one piece of equipment, Tulsa Today always experienced the highest levels of traffic, but the overwhelming interest in the Obama birth certificate story slowed service to the other clients and rather than consider that reader traffic a peak that would soon recede, Tulsa Connect discontinued Tulsa Todays public access. They contend that there was no way their equipment could handle such a high volume of traffic.
![]() Fortunately, Tulsa Today found another service and within 8 hours, the site was moved and is now available for readers worldwide. Evolution Studios now provides hosting for Tulsa Today at a lower cost than shared service from Tulsa Connect and with no limitation on reader traffic. They are customer service orientated, responsive and pulled Herculean duty to accomplish this task as fast as computers could load our admittedly huge site. Evolution Studios provides 24-hour technical support and they used some of those after-hours to get this transfer done. As a web developer, I have worked with them on other projects in the past and their consistent focus on clear communication with and quality service for their clients has been a blessing in a niche field oddly populated by pinhead techno-bully-nerds with limited interpersonal skills. ![]() However, we are rethinking our buy local business procedure. Evolution Studios is not based in Tulsa. Come to think about it, we might help them open an office here. They are a national provider of Internet based services apparently and significantly more attentive to client need than many other providers. Tulsa Connect was provided advance notice of this story and invited to make a statement explaining their actions. None was forthcoming as of this writing. We understand their equipment dilemma, but it was not our responsibility to monitor their server traffic or anticipate and provision for their company's growth. Apparently they prefer clients with small web sites few visit. There is some personal sadness in this change as I began Tulsa Today with the Tulsa Connect folks in 1996 when they were called WebZone. The Great Birth Certificate Scandal/Cover-Up of 08 continues to see huge readership as it has been linked to major national and international web sites including: World Net Daily (which features an entire page of Obama birth certificate stories), Right Side News, Lucianne and others. One reader wrote most concisely, Obama has spent over $800,000 and several months fighting to avoid presenting a $10 copy of a long-form birth certificate begging the ultimate question, why? ![]() Additionally, the blogosphere is ablaze with stories about it, pro and con, according to Oklahomas own Mike McCarville who notes an e-mail from Bunny Chambers of Oklahoma City, a Republican elector this year saying, There must be something to hide if BHO wont release proof, if he has it, that he is a natural born US citizen. He isnt officially elected until the Electoral College meets on December 15th. I am a member of the 2008 Electoral College. I cant believe that this is actually happening right before our eyes. We must do something! Ive worked over 30 years to protect our US Constitution and now it seems that it will have been all for naught." ![]() We will granddad, the kids answer. Thus freedom flourishes despite whatever crisis of the day may come technical or political from dark to dawn. About the author:

Prove it.
I think there’s alot to be said for all the missing school records. That’s the link we should research as I believe that they show him as being a foreign student.
I’ve been referring to the next period of time as The Dark Years - pertaining to the economy, Obama’s marxist ideas making it much worse, and our overal Liberties as a country (alluding to the Dark Ages).
It wasn’t until after I first posted it that I made any thought of Obama’s color.
Guys...it’s looking like B.O. was born in Kenya.....but you gotta understand...the MSM is NOT gonna cover this....so if they don’t cover it, it must not be news.
And that’s the name of that tune.
Interesting story, and it gives me the opportunity to ask a coupla dumb questions.
What is this “long form” “short form” business?
In California it’s my understanding that all birth records are public records and accessible by anyone who visits the records office for viewing.
Is that still not the case?
Is Hawaii different?
When did birth records become priviledged information?
I missed the memo.
Sorry. I missed your reference to doublethink.
I have pointed out on several occasions what you have posted.
Long form vs short form.
The short form that Obama provided was declared a forgery, and
for obvious reasons he will not provide the long form.
While I have my original hospital copy of birth certificate,
a copy from the state of Tennessee is a copy of my original
printed on an official state form.
It list many of the same details as yours.
The short Obama form is easy to forge and means nothing.
“Show Me The Money” — a movie character.
“Innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does.” — Whittaker Chambers
“He’s so CLEAN” — some Democrat, of Obama
“COME CLEAN, BARACK” — The United States of America
I think only relatives can view the vault b.c.
well, we could ALL view it if Obumma would present it.

Prove it! or ST_U!
excellent and well-written article.
One sentence which says it all:
One reader wrote most concisely, Obama has spent over $800,000 and several months fighting to avoid presenting a $10 copy of a long-form birth certificate begging the ultimate question, why?
My bad. I needed the /s tag on yer post.
why?
I was being facetious, FRiend.
He’s a superficial mutt.
Happy Thanksgiving!
New Year’s resolution to myself: NEVER forget to add the /sarcasm tag when I post on Free Republic.
Sheesh!
