"The expansive suburb of Surprise, Arizona was today’s setting for the second public presentation within the month of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse investigative findings pertaining to the authenticity of President Barack Obama’s online long-form birth certificate submission. Even as the chairs and microphones were being arranged at a local church hall, the Arizona Democratic Party conducted various caucuses across the state to re-nominate Obama for the 2012 election. Referencing the party’s lack of a primary challenger, The Arizona Republic’s Dan Nowicki asserted, “…there is no drama this year.”
Nowicki may not know it (or admit it), but nothing could be further from the truth. The President is, indeed, serving under the most spurious of circumstances. Would he be re-nominated if a sequential legal process were allowed to play out? No.
In contrast to Sheriff Joe’s March 1st press conference, which was closed to the public while attracting approximately 40 b-list journalists (who mocked and interrogated the presenters while virtually ignoring the evidence), today’s event drew a packed house of almost 1,000 interested citizens and virtually no conventional media at all (in addition, many people were turned away due to lack of space). Perhaps the best-known press presence was the blog site Western Center for Journalism, which within hours posted a full video of the proceedings. The inverse proportion of public to media six months into the investigation is emblematic of an almost total “media blackout” on the vetting/eligibility issue.
Sheriff Joe began with a personal account, thanking his wife and team for supporting him in the demanding investigation, wryly wondering where the media and political figures were now that a criminal inquiry has officially begun. CNN, NBC, Fox etc. had been formally invited to the presentation. None attended. Arpaio, the top law enforcement official of Maricopa County (estimated population 4 million), cited the compelling nature of the evidence and alluded to the grave implications of the alleged forgeries.
Brian Reilly of the Surprise Tea Party announced his discovery of an arcane section of Arizona law, ARS 41-121-1 (“Petition Requesting a Resolution”), under which petition signatures of Arizona residents, collected in person and online at www.goo.gl/dhDBI and submitted to Secretary of State Ken Bennett, will be forwarded to the Arizona legislature for Resolution creation. The Resolution will demand conclusive information regarding Barack Obama’s birth certificate, Selective Service registration, “natural born citizen” status, and social security number(s), and will be drafted in the few days after petition delivery on Monday, April 2. Notably, the Resolution will bypass the purview of Governor Jan Brewer – it will not require her signature.
Lead investigator Mike Zullo presided over the majority of the presentation. Zullo’s manner was earnest and methodical, focusing tightly on each discrete portion of the investigative process. Re-running the majority of the Sheriff’s department videos, Zullo traced the investigation from its start on September 15, 2011 to its current status as “the repository of information from across the nation.”
.................................................. ..
The investigative team’s conclusion regarding the endlessly discussed BOBC remains the same. Zullo cautioned observers that, from now on, the “birth certificate/document” should be instead referred to as a “digital file/image.” Zullo stated unequivocally that two different typewriters were used in the construction of the BOBC “file;” the image is a “cut and paste job” from two or three other documents. Zullo also repeated the previous video deconstruction of Barack Obama’s Selective Service registration, which centers upon an obviously falsified date stamp. Falsification of Selective Service registration is punishable by five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sheriff Arpaio’s formal request to the head of Selective Service, an Obama appointee, for authentication of the document has so far been ignored.
When pressed by an audience member, Zullo firmly stated that his team had no intention of contributing discovery to the ballot challenge efforts occurring among various states, preferring to focus only on Arizona. However, when George Miller of the Ventura County (CA) Tea Party pressed Zullo on the subject in a one-on-one conversation, Zullo was enthusiastic about a suggestion of launching an appeal of the now-defunct Ken Allen (AZ) case, which would surely become stronger when supplanted by the Cold Case Posse’s results."
