Mass-Media Coverup Exposed
by Robert Jay March
On the Certifi-Gate Page, we link to a story I urge you to read in full, "Media Blackout On Obama Eligibility Dates Back To November" by Douglas Hagmann & Judi McLeod, which was brought to our attention by a regular reader, Ursula. In that my own sources have told me that Jeffrey Immelt has imposed such a blackout at NBC and MSNBC due to his desire to protect and increase G.E.'s Defense Contracts, I contacted the authors and asked the following question: "I do not expect you to compromise your source, but can you say that the network you refer to in your story is not NBC/MSNBC?"
Douglas J. Hagmann wrote back, saying:
I will go beyond a non-denial.
First, there are multiple networks involved. Secondly, my statement below does not relate to the signed statement from the talk show host, but it should more than answer your question. Use it as you wish:
At approximately 12:30 pm On March 23, 2009, I interviewed a source outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City who works in an administrative support position at a nearby network. I was put in contact with this source by an individual from Los Angeles (known by me) who had traveled to this NY network headquarters on business prior to my interview. The individual from Los Angeles had told this network source of my investigation and assured this source I could be trusted. Introductions were ultimately made.
On that date, this source agreed to talk only with the strict assurance of confidentiality, conditions to which I agreed. It is important to note that throughout this casual interview in a public venue, this source appeared to be extremely nervous and looked around more than appeared to be reasonably necessary. Nevertheless, this source seemed to be genuinely sincere, exhibiting no outward signs of deceptive behavior.
During the course of my interview, this source admitted knowledge of high level management meetings with certain on-air personalities about the "controversy surrounding Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility due to birthplace and citizenship questions." This source claimed to be present and in close proximity to one open door meeting between a corporate official and on-air personnel. My investigation confirmed that this source would normally have such access.
During this meeting, the official stated that he was ordered by "those at the top" to warn them against any reference to this [eligibility] issue. This statement was originally met with some apparent objections and there was "over talk," but this source clearly heard the official state: "This is serious, and so will the consequences be if anyone chooses not to be a team player with this."
There is more, but for now, I think you get the idea.
CNN, Fox News and NBC's offices and studios are all very near St. Patrick's Cathedral. I had a conversation with a Fox anchor months ago about this issue. The anchor, whom I will not identify, was well versed on the eligibility issue and seemed to agree with me, but said he could not discuss it on the air.
All of these hosts like to pretend that they take orders from no one, that no one would dare order them around. This is bovine scatology, pure and simple. As an example, many years ago I was in the office of the Program Director of WGY for a business meeting, when Mike Gallagher, who was a local afternoon-drive host at that station at the time, knocked timidly at the door. Far from being the bombastic blow-hard he portrays on the air (he was even more so, then), he said, "You wanted to see me, sir?" The PD dismissed him with a simple "later," and Gallagher skedaddled away. These people are just employees who want to keep their jobs.
We need to force the issue of the media coverup. Call the local and national talks shows you listen to, and keep bringing up the issue. Keep calling; flood their switchboards until they put you on the air or have no callers at all they can put on. Demand that they book guests like Douglas J. Hagmann, Joseph Farah of World Net Daily, attorneys Phil Berg and Dr. Orly Taitz, and li'l ol' me, Robert Jay March of MarchReport.com, to talk about this issue.
The left uses "seminar callers" all the time; we need to borrow the tactic. As it is, Pelosi and her minions have called the legitimate, grass-roots protests that have sprung up over Health Care and the Birth Certificate "astro-turf," and falsely claimed that those protests were orchestrated. Let's show them what real orchestration looks like.
The very survival of our democracy is at stake, for what has occurred is nothing less than a coup d'état, aided and abetted by those who are supposed to be the unfettered guardians of our freedom -- the press.
1,000 Cuts with Occam's Razor
Despite the fact that I am racially mixed (part Oriental); despite the fact that I have published both written columns and recorded podcasts wherein I have praised the American public for the truly color-blind vote cast last November, regardless of whether or not the victorious candidate is legally qualified to serve; despite the fact that I myself am among those who believe that The Constitution should be amended to permit Citizens who were not born on American soil to serve as President (but not retroactively); I still get hate mail accusing me of racism, or excluding me from the accusation, accusing my readers of it because of our inquiries as to whether or not Barack Obama is in compliance with Article II, Section I of The Constitution.
They seem to think that because we are concerned that the law be complied with, that must mean that we are actually racists who do not want a Black President. If Arnold Schwarzenegger had ignored The Constitution, run for President, and been elected, would it be racist to insist that he be removed?
Occam's Razor, attributed to 13th century Franciscan friar and philosopher, William of Ockham, is a concept in science that says the simplest of two or more competing theories is preferable, and that an explanation for unknown phenomena should first be attempted in terms of what is already known. In the simplest terms, this means that the simplest, most straight-forward answer is usually the correct answer.
Let's take what we know and analyze it logically.
- Does the Constitution require that the President be born on American soil? YES.
- As Chief Executive of The United States, is the President required to obey The Constitution? YES.
- As a former Constitutional Lawyer, Does Barack Obama understand this requirement? YES.
- Has Barack Obama proven that he meets this requirement? NO.
- Have Obama's supporters claimed that Obama has released his birth Certificate? YES.
- Has Barack Obama actually released his Birth Certificate (as opposed to the Hawaiian Certification, which is not a legal birth certificate)? NO.
- Comparing the above two statements, are Obama's supporters lying? YES.
- By definition, what do liars do? They tell lies.
- Who claims that the so-called "Birthers" are racists? Obama's supporters.
- Therefor, are the claims that "Birthers" are all racists a lie? YES.
- If you apply for a driver's license, or other privilege where production of a birth certificate is required, and you refuse to produce it, will you be granted the license or privilege? NO.
- Having "applied for" and won the Presidency, has Barack Obama provided the documentation to prove that he is entitled to it? NO.
- What was the political orientation of the person who first brought the Birth Certificate issue to Phil Berg's attention? Far-left Democrat.
- What is Phil Berg's Political Orientation? Liberal Democrat.
- What is the author of this column, Robert Jay March's political orientation? Unaffiliated with any party. Conservative (not neo-Con) on Economic and Constitutional issues, Libertarian on social issues.
- Are all "Birthers" Republicans? NO.
- Given that Obama has refused to provide his birth Certificate, what is the logical course of action? He should be compelled to produce it or be removed from Office.
- What happens if Obama is removed from office? In that event, legally, Joe Biden has been president since January 20, 2009, and every bill Obama has signed, unless also signed by Biden within the required time-frame, has been pocket-vetoed and is null-and-void; all appointments to Office made by Obama become null-and-void, because they were made by a man who was never President.
- If Obama were removed, it would place Nancy Pelosi next in line to the Presidency. Should something happen to Joe Biden prior to the appointment and ratification of a new Vice President, Nancy Pelosi would become President. Do Obama's opponents consider this desirable? NO.
- Therefore, are all "Birthers" political opponents of Obama? NO.
Applying Occam's Razor, the most likely, simplest explanation is that Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen, and therefor not in compliance with Article II, Section I of The Constitution. He is ineligible to serve as President, and he knows it. That is why he will not release his birth certificate. A second, less likely explanation is that, although a natural-born citizen, he will not release his birth certificate because doing so would be acutely embarrassing for other reasons; so embarrassing that he is willing to stake his Presidency on concealing it.
