Free Republic

Dear Mr. Robinson: I've given the matter quite a bit of thought and have decided it is time to ZOT you. I was tempted when I noticed posters were allowed to insult anyone who disagreed with them; even more tempted when I saw new posters banned for asking questions, or expressing an opinion outside the mainstream - (though I must confess anyone adopting the screen name "Christ was killed by conservatives" was not going to last very long ! I'm sure he was referring to the Sanhedrin, but still...) When I saw your post today about getting "millions of people"...

Per this Politico article, the American Conservative Union offered to supply Fed Ex with support - for money. Fed Ex declined the offer.

A "senior Klansman", who has been on the fugitive list in the USA, was arrested in Israel as an illegal entrant.

What recently happened with Uighurs? There are four possible narratives about the Uighurs. (1.) This is not about separatism; (2.) This *is* about separatism; (3.) This started as harmonious, but it may lead to separatism; and (4.) This started out about separatism, but it will lead to harmony. In a process of elimination, we can immediately rule out narrative # 4. Nobody is feeling very harmonious about what recently happened. This article will analyze narratives # 1, 2, and 3. #1. This is not about separatism. In this case, to understand the Urumqi incident of 7.5 [July 5, 2009], it...

A short lesson in civics, with a second lesson archived below it. Very brief, very succint-and should be totally unneccessary !

Did administration leaks to the AP, Washington Post, and Times compromise an ongoing Justice investigation-thereby aiding Rick Renzi's re-election ?

Received today from Southern Poverty Law Center June 17, 2009 Dear Friend, Like you, my colleagues and I were deeply saddened by the murder of security guard Stephen Johns at the Holocaust Museum. It's unfortunate that it sometimes takes a tragic event like this to focus the nation's attention on the very real threat of domestic terrorism. At the Southern Poverty Law Center, we're working hard to track and expose extremists like the anti-Semitic fanatic who lashed out last week. In fact, in the latest issue of our Intelligence Report, we warned about a dangerous resurgence of right-wing extremism since...

This post , on the Orly Taitz website,claims Stanley Dunham,Obama's maternal grandfather was a Communist. A quick bit of research indicates he was an Army supply sergeant during WWII, and that after the war,he was a shoe salesman. I have found nothing, so far, to suggest he was a Communist. Perhaps one of our readers has details.

From the well-known Orly Taitz site: Is a forged copy of Obama's birth certificate being artificially "aged" for presentation in the near future ? Fiendish !!

(It should be pointed out the website linked is STRONGLY opposed to the "Birthers" for political reasons;however,they seem to keep track of this often-confusing group reasonably - but snarkily - well.) There is a pending lawsuit between the Philip Berg group and the Orly Taitz group over a number of issues. This is an update of recent developments in that action.

There is an alert in Pennsylvania, Kentucky,and Maryland for rabies. If memory serves, the areas described in the bulletin are somewhat contiguous,and generally semi-rural.

Did you know SC Justice Souter decided to resign rather than approve the wave of martial law excesses planned for this Fall ? Who says so ? Why, according to the well-informed Orly Taitz website, the information is straight from the hitherto impenetrable files of Russia's FSB (successor to the KGB) !!

We have seen quite a bit of Orly Taitz - derived material here on FR. The Taitz "crusade" was (as nearly as I can tell) based on original assertions by Phillip Berg -a Hillary Clinton supporter- about the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama for presidential office. Disagreements between the Berg and the Taitz "camps" have come to a boil recently, and a lawsuit has been filed in Federal District Court by Mr. Berg and others. The link provided shows the details of the 85 (?) page complaint for any who may be interested.

The owner of the website Orly Taitz was using explains why the good doctor is no longer there. I gather there were communication problems of some sort. The owner says you'll have to ask Orly herself about the Paypal contributions.

A check on Dr. Orly Taitz' website came up with NOTHING today-except commercials for lawyers, and asvice the site is up for grabs. I'm sure there was a steady flow of donations, but the website is gone ! What shall we ever do ??

In today's exciting installment, the Kentucky Dept of State said it wasn't staffed to perform a major investigation; and referred the matter to the Kentucky Attorney General's Office !

Separated at birth ?

"We live in a free country. Our liberties are manifold and are the envy of the world. In the very top tier of those liberties, enshrined in the First Amendment, is “the right of the people . . . to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Many of those petitions are presented to judges. Every judge knows that a disturbingly high percentage of them involve petty slights, or imagined injuries, or matters that lie well beyond the reach of the judicial writ, but most judges will agree that it is important at least to listen to them --...

I ran across this sort -but-interesting article today-written by JIM VERDONIK , a securities lawyer in Raleigh, NC, who does a great deal of new business startup work. There is a lot of "gloom and doom" about business,but his conclusions may surprise - and encourage you. (Excerpt ommitted for copyright reasons)

(Note: Targum permits linkage only.) A scheduled performance of "The Rocky Horror Show" has been running into quite a bit of difficulty - in the form of official demands and restrictions. I've never been privileged (???) to see this show, but understand it entails considerable,enthusiastic audience participation - something the authorities find threatening. (Transylvanian transvestites ??? An acquired taste, I suppose.)
