A Website Scorned: World Net Daily Takes on Glenn Beck in Defense of Birtherism

Posted on by

I have to admit that W.N.D. is one of those sites I began reading when I was first involved in political blogging, then slowly began distancing myself from as they tend to make that perfect circle the “old right” makes when they lean so far to what they perceive as the right that the end up on the far left. Their support for conspiracy theories of various stripes didn’t help their credibility with me.

Conspiracy theories are almost always scams. The North American Union, 9/11 “Truth” and now Obama’s citizenship are all carny style schemes designed to get you to buy books and frequent websites or forums which run ad programs where companies bid to get their ads on your site based on traffic. The rise of the Satanic Ritual Abuse movement, what we now refer to as the Satanic Panic, was one such scheme largely pushed (even to this day) by people like Ted Gunderson who make a living spreading nonsense around. The W.N.D. version of Ted Gunderson is Jerome Corsi, a 9/11 truther who is at the center of the Birther movement. He also has gone on record claiming President Bush allowed 9/11 to happen to set the stage for the formation of the North American Union and that oil comes not from decomposing organic matter but from abiotic processing, which is a fancy way of saying oil just appears out of the earth.

Unsurprisingly, Corsi has written several books which sell very well among the fringe. The Late Great U.S.A. and America for Sale are both lurid accounts of the conspiracy against America by “them” and Black Gold Strangle Hold makes the case that the oil companies, every world government, and the scientific community all are hiding the fact that oil is not at all scarce. Vapid irrationality to be sure, but lucrative in the extreme for Corsi. And those who sell his books.

The problem, of course, isn’t whether Corsi is making a little cash, as I don’t begrudge any American their right to run a snake oil shop, but it’s in how Corsi’s conspiracy mongering is allowed to reflect on the right by supposedly serious people taking him seriously. Aside from the obvious, I dislike conspiracy theories for two reasons. The first is as we have seen during the Satanic Panic, these theories can have very real consequences for innocent people caught up in the fantasy world of the conspiracist. The second, however, is that it distracts from real conspiracies. The progressive agenda is a conspiracy, not one plotted in shadows by secret societies but simply an alliance of leftists all working to steer this country into a European cultural and political model. We know this because we can go to sites like Media Matters and see it for ourselves.

While people waste time trying to find the secret N.A.U. treaty written by the Illuminati, the Obama administration openly cedes our interest to the United Nations. While people buy Corsi’s book on how oil is really as plentiful as the air we breath, China is drilling for the last remaining oil off our coasts while progressive groups block us from adding that precious resource to our own reserves. While idiots seek “the truth” about 9/11, a Jihadist movement is sweeping the globe and overrunning Europe with its eye on America next. There are real enemies to face, real conspiracies to unravel. Corsi and his ilk waste our time in an old right version of the live action Vampire: The Masquerade game.

Which brings me to World Net Daily, a website scorned by what they thought was their soul mate. World Net Daily, long associated with Corsi and the worst sorts of conspiracy mongering, has discovered Glenn Beck cheating on them with common sense. Hurt and angered, they launched into an attack on Beck loaded with justifications for their idiocy and pleas for Beck to come back to them:

“Birthers,” however, reflect a far greater diversity of opinion than is assumed by Beck’s characterization. For example, while the term has been applied to anyone questioning Obama’s eligibility to serve as president under the Constitution’s “natural born citizen” clause, many “birthers” don’t doubt Obama’s Hawaiian birth, but instead take issue with his father’s foreign citizenship.

While other top radio hosts, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin and Lou Dobbs, have all said unequivocally and publicly that the Obama eligibility issue is legitimate and worthy, a few – including Beck and fellow Fox TV host Bill O’Reilly – have taken the position that the issue is, in O’Reilly’s words, “bogus.” Both Beck and O’Reilly cite the contemporaneous appearance of birth announcements in two Honolulu newspapers as prima facie evidence Obama was born in Hawaii and “birthers” are conspiracy nuts.

However, what neither talk host realizes is that newspaper birth announcements are not placed by parents phoning their local paper with the good news that they had a child. Rather, as WND has reported based on interviews with the two Hawaii papers involved, the Obama newspaper birth announcements stemmed from information automatically sent to the papers by Hawaii’s Department of Health upon the state’s issuance of a “Certification of Live Birth,” which, as WND has also reported, is considered insufficient on its own to positively document the president’s birthplace.

Many people remain unaware that a child does not even have to be born in Hawaii to receive a “Certification of Live Birth – that’s the “short form” that provides no hospital name, delivering physician or any of the other information that traditionally appears on a legitimate birth certificate. And yet the “short form” COLB is the one and only piece of evidence the White House has cited in defending its assertion Obama was born in Hawaii.

Hawaiian law specifically allows “an adult or the legal parents of a minor child” to apply to the health department and, upon unspecified proof, be given the birth document.

The only requirement for proof cited in the law doesn’t address the birth of the child either, just “that the legal parents of such individual while living without Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.”

Demand the truth by joining the petition campaign to make President Obama reveal his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate!

And since Obama’s long-form birth certificate remains locked away from public view and sealed by privacy laws, no brainwashing device – such as Beck alluded to in his program – would be necessary to keep Hillary Clinton from discovering the contents of Obama’s original birth certificate.

That excerpt sets the tone. A desperate plea by desperate people who fear not only losing their credibility as they are attacked by a well known pundit, but their meal ticket as his huge audience abandons the snipe hunt for proof that Obama can’t be President. It should be obvious to all that W.N.D. does not exist on page views only. They have a bookstore which admittedly has some very good books for sale, such as Ray Comfort’s thought provoking (if flawed) Nothing Created Everything and Jamie Glazov’s United in Hate. But the W.N.D. book catalog also relies heavily on the sale of conspiratorial works which relies in turn on the persistence of a conspiratorial mindset among the right.

World Net Daily has a donation page where the top cause you can donate to is a fund to buy billboards that promote Birtherism. Surely no one believes that the majority of that money would not be used in “administrative” costs? They also sell DVDs, clothing and other items, something they have in common with Alex Jones’ websites.

In other words, W.N.D. is financially invested in people being hooked on their conspiracy theories. The site, like Alex Jones’ Prison Planet, is in itself a conspiracy designed to prey on suckers who need to feel as if there are secret forces at work against them for a variety of reasons.

The real conspiracy is the conspiracy to separate the gullible from their cash, and the “Birthers” are a part of that conspiracy. Beck is right to dismiss them and we’d all be better off dismissing anyone who makes a living peddling their asinine fever dreams.

Lost in Lima, Ohio is Back! (Hannah Overton is Still Guily as Sin!)

Posted on by

I whipped out two exclamation points to show readers how excited I am about one of my favorite blogs (and bloggers) coming back after a hiatus. Lost in Lima, Ohio was one of the first crime blogs I came across and Lilo was one of the first crime bloggers I interacted with. She, along with Trench Reynolds, was extremely supportive of Red Alerts as it transitioned from purely political blog to its current form where I deal with crime, culture and politics.

Lilo’s return is welcome, and the timing is perfect because advocates for depraved murderess Hannah Overton have been making headway in their campaign to paint the child killing fiend as a victim of malicious prosecution. I’ve blogged about Overton here and as you can see just recently there have been comments left by supporters looking to discredit anyone who doesn’t accept their version of reality as true. Lilo has a case update on her site and she is pretty much the online authority on this case. I suggest you follow this link and familiarize yourself with the wonderful work she did on the Overton case. Then go to the Free Hannah movement’s website and tell that cult of child abuse groupies to stop defiling the memory of Overton’s victim, Andrew Burd, with their wicked and vile campaign to paint a murdered little boy as hellion responsible for his own death.

Lost in Lima, Ohio’s work on this case is a high point in the history of crime blogging. Lilo’s tireless work, and her efforts to organize against the Free Hannah cult, helped stop a travesty of justice by taking the wind out of the sail of a fairly sophisticated public relations campaign designed to get a murderer declared innocent in the court of public opinion. In Andrew Burd’s stead we should all thank Lilo for that.

And just as a side point of interest, Hannah Overton’s father beat a teenage girl to death with a crowbar and her grandfather was Marshall Applewhite, founder of the Heaven’s Gate cult. The pastor of Hannah’s church, and one of the key players in the Free Hannah movement, is a man named Rod Carver who was associated with one of Applewhite’s pre-Heaven’s Gate groups. Life is strange.

Self-Described Jihadist Caught Making Bomb Threats in Memphis Out on $100 Bond

Posted on by

Yes I said $100.

MEMPHIS, TN – Tonight, Mohamed Ibrahim is out after posting $100 bond. Earlier in the day, he was arrested after police say he walked into several Memphis businesses and threatened to blow them up.

Court records show Ibrahim was also telling people he was Muslim, and wanted to start a jihad, or holy war, in Memphis.

Police say when they arrested him, he had a butcher knife hidden in one of his jacket sleeve

Notice that MyEyeWitness News is reporting that Mohamed Ibrahim was “telling people he was Muslims” as if there is some question about whether or not this is true. I point this out to give some insight into the political culture of Memphis.

Ryan Poe at The Commercial Appeal gives you a sense of how dangerous Ibrahim is:

A Memphis man was arrested Friday after he walked into seven local businesses and announced that he would bomb them if they didn’t close, according to a police affidavit.

The report states that Mohamed Ibrahim, 35, threatened businesses on Poplar Avenue, Summer Avenue, Mendenhall, Perkins and Danny Thomas Boulevard.

“If you don’t close this place up, I’m going to blow it to pieces,” Ibrahim told customers at the BP Gas Station on the 300 block of Poplar, according to the report.

A police officer pulled over the suspect’s black PT Cruiser on Poplar and arrested Ibrahim, who was “very nervous” and appeared as if “he was trying to hide something,” the report stated.

The suspect tried to kick out the windows of a patrol car during the arrest and police said they had to use pepper spray to subdue him.

Ibrahim was found in possession of “Islamic cassettes” which I assume weren’t audio of Sufi poetry and was charged with commission of a terrorist act as well as filing a false report and disorderly conduct. Given those facts bail seems pretty low.

N.T.A. is on this story. Jihad Watch and Atlas Shrugs have analysis.

Surprise! “Palestinians” are Inbred Degenerates

Posted on by

Not that the fact that they’ve been desecrating Christian graves, kidnapping and raping Christian children and using their own children as human shields left much room for doubt about how backward the so-called “Palestinian” people are. But for those of you still concerned with the “plight” of people who manage to remain impoverished despite billions of dollars in aid per year (but always seem to have money to buy rockets to lob at Israeli schools) here’s a little fact that you won’t hear at the next Free Palestine rally: the Palestinian penchant for inbreeding has led to unusual levels of a genetic defect where male children are born with what looks like female genitalia.

Ever the pro-“Palestine” propagandists CNN begins the story with an attempt to garner sympathy for these cousin bedding cretin:

Gaza City (CNN) — Two Palestinian teenagers stroll amid the mounds of rubble left by last year’s Israeli military offensive, listening to the tinny beat of a Turkish pop song playing on a cell phone.

Nadir Mohammed Saleh and Ahmed Fayiz Abed Rabo are cousins and next-door neighbors. With their gelled hair, buttoned-down shirts and jeans, they look much like any other 16-year-old Palestinian boy. But looks, Ahmed says, can be deceiving.

“Only my appearance, my haircut and clothing, makes me look like a boy,” Ahmed says, gesturing with his hands across his face. “Inside, I am like a female. I am a girl.”

Until last summer, both Nadir and Ahmed were — for all intents and purposes — girls. They wore female headscarves, attended girls’ school and even answered to the female first names Navin and Ola.

Both Nadir and Ahmed were born with a rare birth defect called male pseudohermaphrodism.

Oh, how awful for these two youths who could just as well have stepped off the set of a prime time CW drama. How cruel is fate that these cousins and neighbors would both suffer from this rare disorder?

And by “fate” I mean the long standing tradition of inbreeding by this amoral clan of scum:

There are an unusually high number of male pseudohermaphrodite births in the Gaza neighborhood of Jabalya, where Nadir and Ahmed live.

Dr. Jehad Abudaia, a Canadian-Palestinian pediatrician and urologist practicing in Gaza, says he has diagnosed nearly 80 cases like Nadir’s and Ahmed’s in the last seven years.

“It is astonishing that we have [so] many cases with this defect, which is very rare all over the world,” Abudaia says. He attributes the high frequency of this birth defect to “consanguinity,” or in-breeding.

“If you want to go to the root of the problem, this problem runs in families in the genes.” Abudaia says. “They want to get married to cousins… they don’t go to another family. This is a problem.”

So in essence, even though the parents of the two boys above knew that their branchless family tree was passing this birth defect to their offspring they have flat out refused to break with the time honored Palestinian Muslim tradition of being given a female cousin to bed. Nadir’s brother and cousin, both of whom are significantly older, suffered the same condition yet both sets of parents continued to breed defective children rather than divorce and marry someone else. That, my friends, is the very definition of degeneracy.

CNN  has found a way to blame this on those pesky Jews:

In Western, more developed countries, doctors typically identify and then operate to correct disorders of sex differentiation at birth. But in war-torn Gaza, which has a lower standard of medical care, the birth defect can go undetected for years.

Yes, yes. War-torn Gaza where medicine is sub-standard but, according to CNN’s own reporting, almost all Palestinian teens are able to purchase hair gel and Western style clothing.

And of course CNN is happy to give this cult of unnatural wantonness passing itself off as a family what they want the most: a platform to demand that the West fund their depravity rather than holding themselves responsible for their own disgusting actions:

Though Nadir and Ahmed clearly have the love and support of their family, they say that is not enough. They are appealing to the international community to help them get the expensive and complicated sex-change operations they say they need to live normal lives.

“It’s the only obstacle and the source of all the problems,” Nadir says.

Until the sex-change operation is completed, Palestinian officials won’t change the gender on their identity cards to “male,” thus restricting their access to higher education.

In addition, Nadir and Ahmed complain of health problems like kidney infections due to complications resulting from the disfigurement of their genitalia.

“This is 100 percent a humanitarian issue,” says Nadir’s father, Mohammed. “There are four conditions in the same [extended] family. If we propose conducting the same operation on all four of them, the cost would be $30,000. We don’t have $30,000 and there is no advanced medicine in Gaza.”

Until then, these troubled Palestinians say their genders and their identities will remain in conflict, much like the land around them.

Yeah. It’s incumbent on we humanitarians to pay for the sex change operations necessary for children born to people who know that marrying their cousins causes birth defects but simply won’t stop. Makes perfect sense … in Palestine.

City Year Allows Rich Hipster Douchebag to Get Food Stamps

Posted on by

The jaw dropping admission that this little rich girl is taking food stamps even though her parents could pay for her food and she makes $200 a week comes at 2:15 or so. But watch the whole video from the beginning where this parasite in training explains the vast amount of perks she receives and how they still aren’t enough:

Yeah, that’s a lot of our tax money going to her unlimited texting and trendy footwear. But beyond that, City Year’s stipend is good money that a lot of poor people live on now. Many of them don’t collect food stamps. Since this girl’s family can ensure she doesn’t end up homeless and starving she is in essence stealing money from poor people who need it.

City Year is clearly not about “volunteering” since the people involved are bribed and given perks that the rest of us don’t have. For Erin above, it is indoctrination into a system where there is no shame in taking food stamps (something most people who have needed to be on food stamps have felt) and the belief that middle and upper class Americans deserve the same social support impoverished people do. If this sounds less like building America and more like emulating the Chavista model of government, that’s because it is. City Year is building a paramilitary cult comprised of members who are learning to view the government and the leftist agenda as the very center of their existence. Don’t believe me?

Watch this, the scary stuff starts around 1:00:

The “red jackets” are getting all sorts of government perks. Is it to create loyalty? It certainly doesn’t create independence.
