At the request of some of our readers, discerning and literate bunch that you all are, commencing with the May 1, 2008 issue we began archiving the March Report in a form suitable for presentation. Be advised that some of the links to external sites on the archived pages will have gone dead. Morte. Kaputski. That being the case, archives will be deleted, or replaced with an image of the headline area only, as the page itself becomes useless (assuming that it wasn't to begin with, which may be presumptuous in and of itself).

Timeline Shows Bush, McCain Warning Dems In 2002 Of Coming Financial Meltdown

Fox News via Proud To Be Canadian (CA)
Video This video shows that George Bush tried to warn Congress in 2002 that this economic crisis was coming, if something was not done. But congress refused to listen, along with Barney Franks. This video says it all. Also that the liberal American media did not want this video on YouTube, and a law suit was threatened if it was not taken off. This link is of the same video, but is routed through Canada. Thanks to a March Report reader who wanted to remain anonymous for calling this to our attention ...

Love you Robert March! I look forward each and every day to The March Report. I love your style of writing ... straight forward and professional and love the occasional humor! Quite honestly I do not watch the MSM anymore or go to their websites ... they disgust me to no end! Now if you only had your own news show on TV...one can dream! I have told so many about your website and will continue to do so! God Bless you for all you do especially on Certifi-gate!

March Report response:

Thanks very much, belle femme brune aux yeux! As to The March Report. having our own news show on TV, that's not very likely. Given that Robert is disabled and homebound, it would have to be shot here rather than in a studio. Also, we'd probably cost whatever broadcasting or cable network who picked us up every advertiser they've got, as we are neither liberal, nor conservative, not libertarian, nor any definable category; we don't pay attention to talking points from the DNC or the RNC. Our policy is not to lie to anyone, about anything, ever. Robert's personal motto, as well as that of the entire March Report organization (vast enterprise that it is) is "Do what's right, no matter what the cost. It always costs. Do what's right anyway." Can you imagine a TV show like that? TV networks and large media organizations seems to believe, "Do what's right, unless it costs us money. Then, lie through your teeth."

Robert, I've been receiving your report for only a couple of months but I find it very interesting and highly informative with facts, not lies. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of ranting now and then.

March Report response:

You're very welcome, and feel free to write anytime. We actually read all of your e-mails, whether they agree with us or not. We'd also like to hear if there are any ares of coverage you'd like to see that we're not doing now. We're not promising you'll like what we say on a given issue, but we'll cover it if we're are able.

Ursula S. posted this to our "blogged" ratings page:

It is my opinion that tabloids have become more credible as a source of news than high profile and national news agencies of ALL types in our country. These newspapers, news stations, internet, etc. seem to have abandoned any journalistic ethic or human decency in their reporting. They seem to be held accountable for nothing while the tabloids can get sued. The March Report is a refreshing break from the daily onslaught of the simplistic propaganda that seems to imply that Americans are all idiots. It is filled with critical thinking! (Do we remember what that looks like in print?!). Facts are allowed to be followed bipartisanly. That means that a fact has one side. Once a fact is established we do not have to confuse the issue with presenting "both" sides. The March Report is a credible source of news!

Not everyone loves us, though. Janel wrote:

The enemy does not want to see this man of God in the position of President of the United States. But the Psalms say that promotion comes from God. I think that it is fit that God silence the mouths of the adversary and bring their false words and accusations to naught and render them void and without substance. That is how I am praying.

Olivia from Sugar Hill, GA wrote a long one, full of mis-information. We will respond below her e-mail:

Well sir, I hope you can find it in your "fair and balanced" view to share this email with other readers, as you seem to like to mock or ridicule your opposition. I hope that my proper use of American English is not dismissed for an occasional misspelled word or use of popular vernacular.
     I personally don't feel that you are racist per se; especially since you have identified yourself to be an African-American man. I can easily see this in the fact that you have something very much in common with many other African-Americans; it's called the "conspiracy theory syndrome." However, I don't believe that you are self-less in your efforts; that would be a little too gullible of a judgment. No, I believe that you are much more akin to the politics of Sarah Palin. The correct terminology would be "opportunist," and fortunately (or not for you), all good things must come to an end. Your so-called "Cerifi-Gate" scandal has ended, and did sometime ago when it was dismissed by the Courts. Now, I am no Constitutional Scholar, but I can read, something you apparently didn't expect the readers of your blog to do.
     Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is probably best that you move on to other news since your blog has not been picked up, nor endorsed by any major news affiliate, nor purchased by any company. It is probably because your online insults directed towards those who disagree with you is so "yesterday's news." Your so-called editorials are very reminiscent of an eighth-graders rant on a playground. It is time for you to get a real job and move out of your mother's basement. Now that we have a new president, that would be President Elect Barak H. Obama, your opportunities for employment have just improved.

March Report response:

Where to begin, as virtually every sentence in Olivia's e-mail is incorrect.
     Robert Jay March NEVER, EVER claimed to be African-American; he said he is racially mixed; specifically, part Oriental, going back several generations.
     She suggests we are "opportunists," comparing us to a political figure that she envisions as being the same. Exactly what opportunity is it that she imagines we are seeking? Mr. March owns two businesses, belongs to NO political party, and will never run for political office. He could never win if he did, as he judges each issue on the merits rather than on party talking points, and holds views that would infuriate the left, right, and center simultaneously.
     The Certifi-Gate issue itself has never been dismissed by any court; those individual cases that were dismissed were dismissed on the basis of "lack of standing," "lack of jurisdiction," or "failure to show harm." In other words, the courts were afraid to take it on, and dismissed on a Rube Goldberg technicality.
     She claims, "your blog has not been picked up, nor endorsed by any major news affiliate, nor purchased by any company." I don't know where she gets her information from, but if she paid for it, she'd better get a refund. The March Report has syndication arrangements with over 300 major media outlets, and is not for sale at any price.
     She also says, "It is time for you to get a real job and move out of your mother's basement." Robert Jay March has two jobs, working between 100 to 120 hours per week seven days a week, despite being disabled and homebound for seven years. He is the President of two companies, owns his own home, and, despite his own disability, took care of his disabled mother personally and at his own expense for 32 years until she died peacefully at the age of 80, while raising a daughter alone.
     We are perfectly comfortable listening to and evaluating criticism, provided it is based on fact. Most of the criticism sent here has been sent by those who have never even bothered reading The March Report, using the techniques popularized by Marxist Saul Alinsky, particularly Rule Five of his Rules for Radicals: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage," and Rule Six, "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." He should have added, "Get your facts straight first."
     Yes, we use ridicule in our responses, but only towards those who have used it against us first. The difference in our approach is, WE tell the truth. Perhaps you should try it, Olivia.

A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story Of The Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama And The Mainstream Media

Regnery Publishing



Do the mainstream media have a liberal bias? Sure they do, everyone knows that, says CBS veteran and New York Times bestselling author Bernard Goldberg. But the media crossed an important line in the 2008 presidential race, moving from their usual unthinking liberal bias to crass partisanship of the crudest kind, practically acting as spin doctors for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. In A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media his most provocative book yet, Goldberg demonstrates how the media launched an unparalleled effort to ensure the election of the man they regarded as The One. From the thrill Obama sent up Chris Matthews' leg to the outrageously slanted "news" reports of the New York Times, Goldberg shows in exacting detail how the media, abandoning even the pretense of objectivity, moved from media bias to media activism.
     Never in my memory were so many journalists so intent on effecting change as they were during the campaign of 2008. Sure, mainstream journalists always root for the Democrat. But this time it was different. This time journalists were not satisfied merely being partisan witnesses to history. This time they wanted to be real players and help determine the outcome. This time they were on a mission, a noble, historic mission, as far as they were concerned. In fact, I could not remember a time when so many supposedly objective reporters had acted so blatantly as full-fledged advocates for one side--and without even a hint of embarrassment. ...

Certifi-Gate! America In Captivity

Part 58 Of Certifi-Gate, Our Special Report On Barack Obama's Legal Eligibility To Serve As President Of The United States

Robert Jay March -- March Report
January 22, 2009--Day 2 of America in Captivity, under the yoke of an illegal "president."
     When Barack Obama announced his selection of running mate, he flubbed it, and began to introduce Joe Biden as "the next President of the United States," before correcting himself. At the inauguration, both Supreme Court Chief Justice John Glover Roberts, Jr. and Obama the unflappable "flubbed" the oath of office, leaving the Constitutionally-required oath unspoken. We have both video and audio recordings of the legally-insufficient oath posted here, but did anyone happen to record the "retaking" of the oath that is alleged to have occurred privately in the Map Room at the White House on Wednesday night?

LATE UPDATE: After we posted this, an audio recording of oath-redux was released. AFTER we posted this. Was this recorded at the event, or later? Borrowing from the tag-line of the old "Beatlemania" ad campaign, "Was it the oath, or an incredible simulation?" Is this indicative of the growing influence of The March Report, or just another coincidence? I ask only out of an abundance of caution (while suppressing a smirk ... unsuccessfully).

    No matter, according to Fox News: "Obama then repeated the oath in the incorrect order. His presidency is unaffected, however. In the unlikely event he'd be challenged as president, the case ultimately would end up in Roberts' court." AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH! In fact, it's one of the few true things the mainstream media has said about the whole Certifi-Gate debacle. An inside joke, perhaps? Based on what's happened thus far in the Supreme Court, Rube Goldberg should be Chief Justice.
     According to the Washington Times, "Twelve people were in the room, including the president. From the White House staff: White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, White House Counsel Greg Craig, senior adviser David Axelrod, and the official White House photographer Pete Souza. Katie Lillie, an advance staffer who assists the press, also was present with a small pool of reporters from the St. Petersberg Times, Bloomberg, the Associated Press and Reuters." Yeah, but did anyone record it, or is this going to be another in the many Obama stories we're supposed to take on faith. Reuters posted a video story about the re-take, which we're running below, but there is no audio or video of it in the story.
     No matter whether he took the oath correctly or not, he's not legally eligible to serve, so he could have recited the lyrics to The Good Ship Lollipop, he still would not be President.
     According to the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution, Joe Biden is President, because Barack Obama does not meet the eligibility requirements established by Article II Section 1 of the Constitution.
     At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy nut, I'm beginning to wonder if all of these are coincidences. Is Barack Obama just a front man? Is Joe Biden the Wizard of Oz's "man behind the curtain," to whom we are supposed to pay no attention at all? Was Jill Biden's "slip" on Oprah Winfrey's show the other day not an accident at all, but a declaration for "those who have eyes to see and ears to hear" that Biden is the one calling the shots.
     Joe Biden ran for President several times and failed. Between his proneness for "gaffes" and lack of television presence, he could never win. Is Obama his straw man? It is well past time that America had a black President, and the voters were ready to elect one. That's why Hillary Clinton's "inevitable" candidacy faltered; after all, their respective platforms were virtually identical. Obama is telegenic, an excellent public speaker, and, at least in terms of how he presents himself to the public, the personification of the American Dream; the problem is, he is not a Natural Born Citizen, as required by the Constitution. His occupancy of the office of President is illegal, moot, null and void. Legally, Joe Biden is President; Obama is merely "Captain Dunsel," as Commodore Robert Wesley described Captain Kirk in "The Ultimate Computer" episode of Star Trek: "a part that serves no useful purpose."
     In my interview with Phil Berg last week, he wondered aloud if Obama was being blackmailed, based on his cabinet picks being so alien to expectations. Perhaps they are, or perhaps he's just faking to the right, to disarm the opposition; but, I can't help but notice that they're just the people Joe Biden would have picked. Those of you who are now convinced that I've completely lost my mind: humor me for a few seconds. Let's pretend that Joe Biden was openly elected to the Presidency. Who would he have picked for his cabinet? Pretty much the people who have been picked. What policies would President Biden have telegraphed to the press? Pretty much those policies that have been telegraphed to the press.
     So, let's all congratulate President Biden, while encouraging Phil Berg et al. to continue their efforts. And, pay no attention to that man behind the teleprompter -- he's The Great and Powerful Ob!

Experts Say Obama Should Retake The Oath

Carolyn Lochhead -- San Francisco Sentinel
`The courts would probably never hear a challenge, and some might argue that Obama automatically took office at noon because that's when President Bush left the office. But because the procedure is so explicitly prescribed in the Constitution, Beermann said if he were Obama's lawyer, he would recommend retaking it, just as two previous presidents, Calvin Coolidge and Chester Arthur, did under similar circumstances ...


Roberts, Obama Re-Do Swearing In

Christina Bellantoni -- Washington Times

The Obama Presidency: Here Comes Socialism

Dick Morris -- TheHill.com
2009-2010 will rank with 1913-14, 1933-36, 1964-65 and 1981-82 as years that will permanently change our government, politics and lives. Just as the stars were aligned for Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and Reagan, they are aligned for Obama. Simply put, we enter his administration as free-enterprise, market-dominated, laissez-faire America. We will shortly become like Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or Sweden -- a socialist democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private-sector priorities and offers a vastly expanded range of services to many more people at much higher taxes ...

The Big Money Behind Geithner

Cliff Kincaid -- USA Survival News
The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the Chinese-speaking Geithner is an associate of Henry Kissinger who can be counted on to convince the Chinese Communists to continue to buy the U.S. debt and finance Obama's massive expansion of federal government power. That is why Obama and his fellow Democrats are putting so much faith in him. As Henry Kissinger recently put it, when he was celebrating U.S.-China relations on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Obama's mission is to usher in a "New World Order." He forgot to mention, of course, that it is a China-dominated New World Order in which the U.S. has become a subsidiary of China Inc ...

A "Call to Arms" as Attacks Against The March Report Continue.
In a previous column, I mentioned the we had come under attack by powerful, politically-connected forces in Chicago. Now, they've gone after our newsletter, in an effort to shut us down. Last July, when we started The March Report Daily Alert newsletter as an adjunct to the MarchReport.com website, we started with a few readers and quickly grew to over 400,000 double-opt-in subscribers. Now, months later, all of a sudden we're being hit with false spamming complaints. Major internet portals that had "white-listed" us months ago are now blocking delivery. If you are a subscriber, and your newsletters have stopped coming, that's why. If you are a Hotmail user who's been sending e-mails to us and have gotten no reply back, that's why.
     We will not be silenced. We need your help in turning back this assault. If your newsletters have stopped coming, complain to your ISP. Tell them that you want The March Report Daily Alert newsletter to be delivered to you. If you have a blog or website, please link to us. If you read or participate in a blog, please ask them to link to us, and, where appropriate, leave comments to stories on their sites containing links to related material on MarchReport.com. Please tell everyone you know who is interested in the future of our country about The March Report. Ask them to read us every day, and subscribe to our newsletter. Contact your local media and ask them to do stories about this situation. The best way to show these would-be despots that they cannot shut us down is with a spurt of growth, right in their faces.
     Despite my disability and being unable to leave my home, I work from 100 to 120 hours per week. I have never taken a penny of government money, or charity from anyone, and I never will, but the costs associated with this assault are starting to mount up, so, if and only if you are able, please make a donation of any amount you are comfortable with, no matter how small, to help defray expenses connected with production of The March Report.

DVD

Iron Man (Ultimate Two-Disc Edition + BD Live) [Blu-Ray]

Reviewed by Robert Horton



You know you're going to get a different kind of superhero when you cast Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. And Iron Man is different, in welcome ways. Cleverly updated from Marvel Comics' longstanding series, Iron Man puts billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (that's Downey) in the path of some Middle Eastern terrorists; in a brilliantly paced section, Stark invents an indestructible suit that allows him to escape. If the rest of the movie never quit hits that precise rhythm again, it nevertheless offers plenty of pleasure, as the renewed Stark swears off his past as a weapons manufacturer, develops his new Iron Man suit, and puzzles both his business partner (Jeff Bridges in great form) and executive assistant (Gwyneth Paltrow). Director Jon Favreau geeks out in fun ways with the hardware, but never lets it overpower the movie, and there's always a goofy one-liner or a slapstick pratfall around to break the tension. As for Downey, he doesn't get to jitterbug around too much in his improv way, but he brings enough of his unpredictable personality to keep the thing fresh ...


The Rape Of Europa

Actual Films in association with Agon Arts & Entertainment/Oregon Public Broadcasting



When The Rape of Europa was released theatrically last year, this is how Variety reviewed it, in Variety-speak:
     Bringing a radically new perspective to World War II and the Holocaust, this fast-paced docu, based on Lynn Nicholas' bestseller about the fate of European art both under the Nazis and afterward, casts the Third Reich in a wholly different light. Curiously, by narrowing focus, filmmakers widen the absurdity and horror of a war waged, at least in part, for a mon-strously inflated private agenda. This mesmerizing morality play, rich in rare archival footage and complete with heroic Allied saviors, merits a full-fledged arthouse run before reaching larger PBS and cable auds ...


The Stendhal Syndrome

DVD Review



Dario Argento has been one of the celebrated masters of Italian horror cinema since the 1970s, but his directorial output since the late 1980s has been largely disappointing to fans of gialli, a horror sub-genre of lurid, graphically violent murder mysteries drawn from pulp fiction. It seems that he has never quite been able to measure up to the frenzied terror or outrageous shocks of his early masterpieces like "Deep Red" and "Suspiria." While it is true that his films from the last two decades have left much to be desired in terms of style, terror, and interest, his 1996 thriller The Stendhal Syndrome deserves more recognition than it receives. A stylistic and psychological departure for Argento, it is perhaps among the most sophisticated movies he has ever directed ...
