A conspiracy site with White House press credentials revives a debunked birther story
WaPo ^ | March 10, 2017 | Philip Bump

Posted on 03/10/2017 10:43:07 PM PST by Seizethecarp

On Thursday evening, precisely 49 days, five hours and 11 minutes after Barack Obama was no longer the president of the United States, the conspiracy-enthusiastic site Gateway Pundit posted a new story: "Breaking: Malik Obama Tweets Alleged Barack Obama Birth Certificate In Kenya" Gateway Pundit never met an anti-Obama or anti-Hillary-Clinton story that it didn’t like. On any number of occasions, the site’s articles have been demonstrably false, as collated by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters. Despite that — or perhaps because of its ferocious defenses of then-candidate Donald Trump over the course of 2016 — an employee of the site was recently granted credentials to join the White House press corps in the briefing room for daily administration briefings. The site’s story about the new birth certificate was written by Jim Hoft, the founder of the site. It’s little more than a write-up of a tweet from a man named Malik Obama, who is the half brother of the former president and who, over the course of the past year or two, came to embrace Trump and the online community that supported the Republican nominee for president.

I think it is the NYT and WaPo that are the leading conspiracy theory sites these days, what with all their stories about “Russians hacking the election”.

“If it belonged to a guy born in the 1890s, that guy is likely either dead and gone or a minor celebrity due to advanced age (in which case, you need a link).”

I read that the guy is indeed dead. He died in....Hawaii. He banked with Dogeater’s Typical White Woman Red Grandmother’s bank.

See, it’s all innocent.

Another lie from the Washington Post. Gateway Pundit didn’t revive the story; Obama’s half-brother revived it when he sent out his tweet.

That Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud does not change if the usual suspects refuse to believe it, as usual.

This is Orly Taitz and Washington Post and Philip Bump owe me an apology for misrepresenting the truth and defaming my character. I provided the sworn declaration in question to the presiding judge only with a request for letters rogatory, meaning a letter to the government of Kenya to deny or verify the document. I never stated that it is authentic as I have no ability to authenticate is. However, it is interesting that corrupt Wash Post reporter, Philip Bump, is not reporting on the fact that Obama used in his tax returns that were posted on WhiteHouse.gov, a stolen CT Social Security number 042-68-4425, for which Obama should be prosecuted by AG Sessions and sent to prison. Moreover, corrupt, bought and paid for globalist media does not report on the file of 150 pages that I assembled, which shows multiple fabricated IDs used by Obama. See the file here http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/evidence-of-forgery-fr... Every law abiding US citizen is encourages to contact President Trump and AG Sessions and demand criminal charges against Obama, possibly, to be filed by a special prosecutor, CA attorney Orly Taitz

Somewhere Lucas "Inspector" Smith is laughing over all the recent attention the bogus Kenyan birth certificate he cobbled together back in 2009 (and tried to sell on eBay for a cool million) is receiving.

The kenyan Birth Certificate has a footprint on it. Check it against Hussein’s footprint. If they match then the BC is legitimate.

This BC also has a partial fingerprint on the left side, possibly left when the baby’s footprint was taken. If genuine it would date to 1961. If a forgery, it would date to the forgery. Odd for a forger to leave a trace like that!

The name on the stamp of the administrator, Helton Maganga, matches an actual hospital administrator, if I recall correctly, but those attempting to debunk have quibbled over his dates of service relative to when the stamp was placed certifying the date of this photocopy (Early 2009?).

There was an extensive FR thread about this, but it might have been pulled...

Obama’s father was a foreign national, he is not a natural born citizen regardless of where he was born.

should we assume that Trump has ordered all info about O’s past to be presented to him?

What makes it all the more disgraceful is that everyone in the District of Corruption knew he was not eligible.
They wanted the Constitution changed without all the trouble of an amendment.

The Gateway Pundit is many times more truthful in its reporting than is liberal rag Washington Compost.
