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:

“...a BC would probably be needed to acquire a passport.”
When I got my passport 4 years ago, I was told a COLB (short form) was not adequate proof. But, I have heard that some places DO accept the COLB as proof of US citizenship. Perhaps his Passport was obtained that way.
For anyone interested in dropping the author a brief note, I can tell you the author is most appreciative of comments about the brilliant research and subsequent composition she has produced. (I was taken aback to read her thank-you note to me; I can imagine all the hits she is taking from those KOS and other loonies on the left.)If you do not wish to return to the original argument, her e-mail address is

And you know that because?
You read it on Moveon.org, you read it on fact check.com, a little bird brought you a note from Santa?
Give up, the humourless are immunized to sarcasm!
Cherry Street, Cain’s Ballroom, Bob Wills, Leon Russell ping.
This is astonishing. I knew many docs were missing, but to see it all outlined like this is just bizarre. Sure looks like a lot of planning - over a long period of time - has gone into the efforts to keep Obama’s identify and history under wraps. Why? Is it birthplace? Ethnicity? Father’s name? What piece of information could be that damaging?
This excellent article references Joan Swirsky, whose recent article was one of the best and most important I have read recently. She had this to say, and was labelled as a conspiracy nut:
Here's the 'offending' paragraph:
Could it be that shortly after the presidents reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from Americas ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years?
How quickly we forget - if we ever knew, that is:
Is the US being held hostage?MISSING TANKER TRUCKS

Al-Qaida may already have nuclear weapons hidden in major U.S. cities, says the author of "Nuclear Terrorism" and former Defense Department official.
In response to reports last week that al-Qaida might hijack tanker trucks as a means of wreaking havoc in major U.S. cities, Graham Allison, director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and former assistant secretary of defense, said smuggling a nuclear weapons into a major city is not improbable.
"While not likely, it is possible that al-Qaida is hiding nuclear bombs in one or several American cities today," he writes in the Chicago Tribune. "So who can say that the trucks the FBI warned about might not contain weapons of mass destruction?" ...
Or they just don't know Orwell.
Good comment

Great because you did it!

THIS is what bothers me, too. On top of everything else, he produces a FORGED document, and no one who supports him cares. Since when is it okay to forge a legal document? And then, why doesn't this beg the question for them: Why did he have to forge the document?
I read this rather lengthy page and, if it's true that Google has blocked her site from search results, it's scary.
Are Google's strings being pulled by the Obama-Soros-Clinton triad?

HA, Nostradamus, and Cayce missed this one...Thanks George.....LOL
EFF that. The totalitarian lock down on this story is a part of the story itself.
The US election system has failed, and we are NOW being subjected to a coupe by the " Office of the President Elect!
Wake Up PEOPLE!!!!!!
Who knows, but I’ve read similar things re certain non-copyrighted stuff being removed from YouTube as well :(
Would’nt McCain have a tangible interest in Zero’s birth certificate? Or is’nt presidency of the USA worthwhile tangible?
Go back to DU.
You won’t cause any harm here.
Cr@p 777, all they need to accomplish the same thing is a SSN#. A school district in Texas issued thousands of them. Besides it is not like you care. You have been pimping for Obama all over these threads.
They are public information. I got a duplicate birth certificate in Cleveland, Ohio for my brother in law who needed it for a job he was starting. He had lost his original. It was as easy as walking in, paying a small fee, and getting it.
