Did threats silence media on Obama probe?
WND ^ | March 07, 2012 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 03/07/2012 7:44:33 PM PST by Smokeyblue

The lead investigator in Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s review of the authenticity of Barack Obama’s birth certificate today unloaded a bombshell about the case: that he was told by sources members of the media were threatened with federal investigations should they continue to report on the birth certificate issue.

Lead investigator Mike Zullo told WND that as he was preparing information to be presented to the public “it was clear that the mainstream media was not going to be in attendance” at the sheriff’s scheduled new conference, where he revealed facts suggesting both fraud and forgery in the image of a Hawaiian birth certificate that the White House released as “proof positive” of Obama’s eligibility for office last year.

“During our investigation, we actually were told [that media] had been threatened with FTC investigations. Commentators [had been] threatened with their jobs,” Zullo said. The threats were so intimidating that some individuals quit their positions over safety concerns for their families, he said.

So the problem became to get the information to the American public in spite of an intentional media blackout, since citizens still must make critical leadership decisions about their government through the election process.

And Breitbart is gone. One of the very few who stood up and spoke up with courage.

Makes the timing and nature of Andrew Breitbart’s untimely passing all the more curious.

I thought the same thing.

Wow, is this article on FR yet, as it needs to be? This is the strange sounding description of Andrew from the young man who found him:

Lasseter described Breitbart’s skin color as bright red.

This is from a post under the article:

"Lasseter described Breitbart’s skin color as bright red."

http://www.crimefilenews.com/2012/03/eyewitness-speaks-out-about-andrew.html Sounds like cyanide poisoning.

•The skin of a cyanide-poisoned person can sometimes be unusually pink or cherry-red because oxygen will stay in the blood and not get into the cells. The person may also breathe very fast and have either a very fast or very slow heartbeat. Sometimes the person's breath can smell like bitter almonds, though this can be difficult to detect.

I just sent sent this breaking news about AB eyewitness to his death to Rush Limbaugh three times in a row with different headers to get his attention. Please everyone including ponygirl lets send this to him enough times to get his attention about it. I also happen to think we need to send this to Andrew's site too. They may well have not seen this breaking news story as it apparently has been buried by TMZ who it the video was sold to.

The fact the WND has not shied away from the elegibility issue tells me they are the ONLY credible source for news. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS PRESENTED FORGED DOCUMENTATION. That should have been the headline story of every media outlet in the past week. Rather, the scant coverage that was afforded this story always cast doubt on the messenger and totally ignored the message. Even Fox did its best to ignore the facts uncovered by the investigators. Something is definately afoot and the power behind it is vast. So vast that it must have a unifying force. Since one of the missions of this force is to hide truth, I conclude that the force is evil. The greatest force of evil is Satan. I’ll bet that if we ever find out who on earth is behind this coup, we will find that they bow down to the great deceiver. For this reason, our most potent weapon is prayer and TRUST in the Lord.
He will deliver us if we live up to the motto on our coins.

I don’t know how that tagline got there. It’s not mine.

A lot of us are working on various Obama projects. I’m looking into Obama’s contact with a Soviet agent of influence. I was the first to bring this to the public’s attention and it was written up in the Wash. Post, March 22, 2008, Dana Milbank’s smear column on page 2 or 3. One of my happiest contributions was to the “cause” was for the book “Unfit for Command” about John Kerry and his far-left connections in the Hanoi Lobby. More of my contributions can be found on the Swift Boat Veterans Against John Kerry website, as well as in Scott Swett’s book “To Set the Record Straight”, about Kerry’s service in Vietnam, where I was a journalist. I was in Nam and Cambodia 41 years ago so I’ve put on a few miles and a couple heart attacks along the way. I’m hoping that the younger conservative whippersnappers will go out and get the story and the truth about Obama. Otherwise, we old-timers will have to put on our “junggies” and get back in the Big Muddy to show them how to do the job right. Not a bad thought, at that.

I just read the two special reports:

Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection (Special Report)

Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection (Special Report)

They were both good reads. Having said that, you more than anyone should know what we're up against and why some would like to remain anonymous. Andrew Breitbart was a younger conservative whippersnapper (with a voice) and now he's dead.

Even MORE manila envelopes with pictures of family and loved ones left at people’s doorsteps or on windshields?

Really? /ridicule or irony or criticism, but not sarcasm

Mike Zullo, commander of the Cold Case Posse, has corroborated the claims. That’s what this report is saying, though not as clearly as it could/should.

Remember 1992 and the bimbo eruptions suppression team?

Back when it was acceptable to call women "nuts and sluts"?

Nahhh, nobody remembers that...

I guess the video from Breibart was a dud. I see no breaking news about Odingo.

“The information that we got, which these people refused to step forward with out of fear, but shared afterward, came independently – they don’t even know each other – from distance parts of the country, that investigations of major media outlets [were planned] if they continued reporting,” he said.

Why would anyone in the media feel threatened by an investigation? They are all clean and law abiding citizens with no embarrassing moments in their past, I would assume.

Do you trust this Administration to conduct an honest, fair and reasonable investigation?

Or do you think (as I do) it would probably be closer to the Inquisition?
