Orly Taitz: Obama policies are 'clear and present danger to Israel' By Benjamin L. Hartman, Haaretz Correspondent, and The Associated Press Tags: Israel News, birthers The driving force behind the 'birther' movement has found her star is rising in Israel. U.S. President Barack Obama's domestic and foreign policies pose "a clear and present danger to Israel," says the driving force behind the campaign to prove Obama was not born in the United States and therefore ineligible to serve as president. The so-called "birther" movement that alleges that Obama was born in Kenya found fertile ground for publicity during the perennially slow news days of late July and early August. As cable and online news outlets devoted more and more time to the phenomenon, Israeli-American activist Orly Taitz emerged at the forefront of the campaign, and her star steadily rose until a fateful MSNBC interview in which she referred to her detractors as "Obama's brownshirts." Last month, state officials in Hawaii said they have once again checked and confirmed that Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen, and therefore meets a key constitutional requirement for being president. Speaking to Haaretz on Monday, Taitz slammed what she calls Obama's support for Hamas, citing an executive order signed by the U.S. president shortly after taking office, which funneled $900 million to the Gaza Strip. To Taitz, the executive order was a form of political subterfuge meant to prop up the enemies of the United States and Israel, in spite of widespread American Jewish support for the new president. "During the campaign, Obama was telling American Jews that he is for Israel... but sure enough, just as he was elected, look at his first actions, he issued an executive order to give $900 million to Gaza with no preconditions." Taitz says that the money given to Hamas, which "has declared war on Israel and the United States," will not be used to help the people of the Gaza Strip but rather to build Qassam rockets, posing a serious threat to the State of Israel. She believes Obama poses a threat to Israel not only because of his support of radical Islamic groups such as Hamas, but also because of his "radical socialist" policies, that will bring the United States to "totalitarianism and Stalinism." According to Taitz, these policies "pose a threat to all democracies, not only Israel." Since her explosive MSNBC appearance, the "birther" movement has largely faded, supplanted by the health care debate and a new, more-vocal stream of detractors swarming the town hall meetings on health care, leaving Taitz and her movement as yesterday's news; outside of Israel that is. Over the last two weeks, Taitz has been featured in a segment on Channel 10 television's popular nightly news show "London and Kirschenbaum," filmed a segment for the far-right Arutz 7 Web site and recorded a show for their radio channel, was featured in a three-page article in mass circulation daily Ma'ariv, and was the subject of a feature on Channel 1 TV. Israel's Russian press has also taken notice, and interviewed Taitz for a feature for Russian radio and Israel's Russian-language Channel 9. Taitz will also be the subject of a lengthy article in "Vesty," Israel's largest Russian-language newspaper. When asked if her reception has been more positive in Israel, the polyglot Taitz (she speaks English, Russian, Hebrew, Romanian, and Spanish) said in both the United States and Israel she has been met by widespread support, albeit most of it expressed privately. "I think the vast majority of the population [in Israel] is supportive. There are some leftists, and some people in the media who are pro-Obama, but even they in private will say they're with me." In Israel on a month-long vacation to celebrate her parents' 50th wedding anniversary, Taitz has watched from afar as the "birther" phenomenon gained steam in the United States, only to be largely supplanted by the debate over health care. While on vacation, Taitz took her family to pay a visit to her native Moldova, where they saw where she grew up as well as the cemetery that houses some of her ancestors. Taitz spoke of how her grandmother witnessed the famous Kishniev pogrom of 1903, where 43 Jews were slaughtered and dozens wounded. Taitz found motivation in this kernel of family history, saying that "the women and children murdered and the houses ransacked" during the pogrom have proved to her "why it's important for citizens to have their second amendment right to bear arms." Taitz, who argues that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is building internment camps for "anti-Obama dissidents," said that on the road in the United States "people have shown me they want to have guns so they aren't rounded up into FEMA camps," a scenario which she says the Obama administration is planning. Taitz's recent brush with fame and Google infamy (she says for a short period of time last month she and the birther movement placed in the top two of Google queries behind Obama himself) seem to have inspired her to campaign against a series of threats she feels are facing the United States, from FEMA-run interment camps for dissidents to Venezuela President Hugo Chavez's bulk investment in voting machines in Obama's hometown, Illinois. Taitz sees as no coincidence in these events. In a classic, Americana twist, the matriarch of the birthers has not ruled out her own stint in politics. "You know I never ran for office, but I would not exclude this as a possibility." Of course, she knows that the highest office of all is not an option. "I wasn't born in the United States, so I can't run for president."

Again, name anyone who has seen Obama's documents and then verified them as original and valid.
He swore him in. If he swore in an illegal as president, by his job description of determining constitutionality, maybe he needs to be taken out too. Since he must be either fully complicit in this or grossly negligent to point of being unable to perform his job.
Mininggold: "You are free to ask em..... every damned one of them." * guffaw * Hey JT - let's ring the doorbell at the U.S. Senate. I'm sure coffee will be served as Harry Reid, Barney Frank, and Nancy Pelosi and every other "d@mned" Congressman will gladly answer our questions regarding ZERO's so-called "documentation."
I know what he/they did. My question is who has seen his documents and validated them? (((crickets)))
Maybe you need to bring it up with Roberts he also signed on the dotted line. Take down everyone you want and let Obama name his successor. LOLOLOLOL
Sorry - I forget to ping you TWICE.
hehehehehe The SOBs have my phone # on block since the NAFTA debate.
While you may not agree with Texe Marrs on some issues, i think you'll find interesting what he has to say about Obama's and Michelle's past involvement in Santaria (voodoo). He's got a photo of them in their living room from 1996 (New Yorker mag) in which they have on the table beside them a statue of a devilgod totem idol.

Name anyone who saw Bush's, or Clinton's, or Bush's, or Reagan's, or Hoovers, or Buchanan's. The President doesn't have to show documents to be sworn in.
My question is who has seen his documents and validated them? You ask an impossible to answer question and you know it, but good luck with your cause because you will need it. Maybe living in a direct democracy is more a country fitting for you. There are some in Africa and Europe that fit the bill.
See my "I know what he did, but my that wasn't my question" post.
Is there any limit to what you believe, as long as it confirms your biases?
But that was MY original statement and it's always been good enough or can you cite circumstances when it wasn't?
Look, my point is simple; if people can't answer one simple question about HIS paper work, don't dig your heels in denying any possibility. We're talking about a politician with, at best, a background with more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese.
... I used to like these guys back in the 50's and 60's. ;-)
This is about the sources or source of verification of Barry Hussein Soetoro's "documentation." You have claimed Justice Roberts and the HoR, and the Senate have all made that determination. Sure you don't want to add Bill O'Reilly to that dung-heap? BASED ON WHAT EVIDENCE?
Your question is not plausible,but please cite where I said there was no possiblity. I'm waiting.
Hey JT - let's ring the doorbell at the U.S. Senate. I'm sure coffee will be served as Harry Reid, Barney Frank, and Nancy Pelosi and every other "d@mned" Congressman will gladly answer our questions regarding ZERO's so-called "documentation." ...... .. ping
The SOBs have my phone # on block since the NAFTA debate. Niiiiice work.... You're just gonna have to go to Plan "B" - A telephone booth ;-)
This is the first time you've acknowledged it's possible HIS paperwork could bite the big one. That's all I'm looking for. Adamant blockheads are so unbecoming, not to mention stoooooopid.
So you're claiming neither Bush I, nor Clinton, nor Bush II, nor Reagan, nor Hoover, nor Buchanan nor ANY previous President had provided ANY legitimate documentation before being sworn in as President? And you know this how....???
As usual you lie about what was posted, but Roberts put his reputation as a Bush appointed Chief Justice on the line. Pray tell, please tell us who does the verifying for ALL the candidates? And Ford wasn't even elected. LOLOL
Yoi. I'll check it out. Are you sure that devilgod totem idol wasn't "Green Jobs Czar", Van Jones? ;-)
And you know this how....??? You were posting about a bureaucrat verifying the documentation, so there should be signed documentation attesting to the legitimacy of all the presidents by signed some vaunted bureaucrat that you can find on the internet from the government archives. Go find it, ball in your court.
I call bullsh*t. Can you cite with specificity the so-called "lie"? Roberts put his reputation as a Bush appointed Chief Justice on the line. Irrelevant to your claim that by swearing in 0bama, he "verified" his documentation. Pray tell, please tell us who does the verifying for ALL the candidates? It's NOT Judge Roberts.
Again....Please cite any statement I made denying any possibility or retract your statement. I'm waiting. I haven't posted much here so the search should be easy for you.
If you know who it isn't then you know who it is. Please let us in on it.
--------- Yoi. I'll check it out. Are you sure that devilgod totem idol wasn't "Green Jobs Czar", Van Jones? On Van Jones ........ from Wiki (snip) --- Speaking to the East Bay Express, Jones said he first became radicalized in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King riots. Jones was still a law student at Yale Law School at the time, but had lined up a job in Washington, D.C. and even had a plane ticket, both of which he abandoned after the transformative experience of being arrested. While volunteering as a legal monitor during a peaceful protest in San Francisco following the Rodney King riots, Jones was arrested along with other legal monitors and some protesters. He and the other detainees were released after being illegally arrested; the charges were later dropped. In jail, however, Van Jones said that "I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.' I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary (lol). I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist." ****
As I already said (check above), you've only now acknowledged that Barry could have funky paperwork. Congratulations! since that's the only conclusion you can come away with.
The real conclusion is that voters and the GOP bots need to do their homework ahead of time.
Obama is the result of Bush, McCain, and a healthy sprinkling of walking sell outs with an internationalist bent.
lol indeed :P

So you're claiming neither Bush I, nor Clinton, nor Bush II, nor Reagan, nor Hoover, nor Buchanan nor ANY previous President had provided ANY legitimate documentation before being sworn in as President? And you know this how....??? Yes no president has ever had to provide it. I know this because no mechanism exists for them to provide any documentation. No law, no regulation, no one to show it too.
(jmo) He's President for more reasons than you mention. He has been put in place to create chaos and deconstruct this country. His puppeteers have been pulling his strings for thirty years or so. This Presidency was a long time coming. It's all in the plan. Chaos is ahead....... and it is quite purposeful. (jmo)

Welcome to the 4um, bts...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, I was just watching Judge Napolitano substituting for Glenn Beck on tv. The judge was ALL OVER this subject of states rights (9th and 10th Amendments) concerning health care/insurance, and inter-state commerce. He was smokin' angry. That guy is a great man.
Yep, I agree, the good Judge is a passionate defender of States' rights. We need more folks with that mindset...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, We need more folks with that mindset...MUD Good to be speaking to you again on a regular basis. I always appreciated you very much, and don't even remember what we got all hung up about a while back. PLEASE BE WELL, Mud!
Likewise, I'm sure, my friend...MUD
