Jerome Corsi - Ass Ace Reporter

WND Reporter Jerome Corsi

Jerome Corsi has published a series of articles on the extreme right wing blog World Net Daily that purport to expose what he deems to be a vast network of paid Obama operatives who congregate at The Fogbow Forum and who he claims are all over  Internet wreaking havoc on poor unsuspecting eligibility deniers (aka Birthers). His first article revealed the identity of field general,  PJ Foggy (Bill Bryan) the administrator of the Fogbow forum  and a subsequent article focused on The Fogbow member "Rikker". Corsi's article on "Foggy" included a photograph of Foggy with is young sons. It was a nice touch by Corsi to drag Bryan's children into the fray.  The original article also included an exhortation for Corsi's readers to call Bryan at his place of business to harass him. That call to harass Bryan seems to have been quietly removed by the author. I personally cannot remember a more disgusting piece of journalism but I am sure if I took some time I could find one on WND and it probably would be under the Corsi byline.

The latest "masterpiece" from Corsi revealed that he has confirmed that the ring leader of them all, none other than Jimbot, aka Neonzx, who is in real life (according to Corsi) one James A. Johnson, a Democratic party heavyweight and former chief of Fannie Mae. Johnson is a multimillionaire and at one time headed the team tasked to pick potential running mates for Barack Obama when he secured the nomination in 2008. This choice tidbit of information about Jimbot was supplied to Corsi by the dean of Birther broadcasters Ed Hale. According to Hale, Corsi and his team even flew down to Ed's home in Wellington, Texas to review Ed's evidence about Jimbot. Hale who is best remembered for calling the old Art Bell show and claiming he had killed two Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) gave PJ member Neonzx the nickname Jimbot when he called his show way back in 2008 and Ed decided without any particular proof that "Jimbot" was a White House insider. Now exactly how Ed then decided Jimbot was James A. Johnson is not clear. One clue may be a Friend of the Court brief filed by "J. Johnson" in the Liberi v Taitz case and posted on Neonzx's SCRIBD page. Gee, that is really conclusive evidence isn't it? How many folks named J. Johnson are there in the United States? Neonzx never says that the brief is his either.

Another of Corsi's sources is a Birther from Maryland who goes by the handle "KenyaBornObamaCorn" and who was banned from YoutTube for repeated violations of the TOS when she posted videos purporting to out  "Obots" including yours truly. Her information was assembled clumsily and was shown to be wildly inaccurate. For example, she originally labeled the same Neonzx as "Justin" who is the administrator of Politijab. She made many other errors too but I don't really want to help her find her mistakes.

Is Neonzx really James A. Johnson? Several interviews with the real James A. Johnson are available on YouTube including one I found from Australian television from 2009. There are several shows with Neonzx/Jimbot out there too. I didn't have to look far since Jimbot hosted my own Land of the Obots show back in 2009 and has called RC Radio as recently as last week. I put together this audio montage with both of the "Jimbots" so you could listen and judge for yourself. Tale of the Two Jimbots:



It is obvious that they are not the same person and that neonzx has a much younger sounding voice than James A. Johnson.

These photos are also easily found with a quick search: (So why couldn't the great investigative journalist Corsi find these?)

James A. Johnson aka "Jimbot"

Neonzx aka Jimbot aka Justin

Corsi calls himself an investigative reporter but he didn't take five minutes to check out the crap that Ed Hale and KYBOA were feeding him. Any reporter (including this humble blogger and radio host) has first and foremost the duty to try to publish facts. We all interpret those facts but it is another thing altogether to publish what one has to know is a blatant, bold faced lie as has Mr. Corsi. Mr. Corsi seemed to admit on Plains Radio last night that he might just have a small problem with his huge story. He said that his source for confirmation of the article about James A. Johnson was PJ Foggy the administrator at The Fogbow.  Let me repeat that: Corsi's only confirmation for Ed Hale's concocted fantasy is that a guy with a rooster avatar who is known for mocking and satire all around Birthistan posted mockingly that "Jerome Corsi has found us out". So now that Foggy is deriding Corsi for buying this ridiculous story guess who Corsi is blaming? Why Foggy and everyone on The Fogbow of course.

On the same program Corsi was going through his roll call of Obots and mentioned "Epectitus" (Frank Arduini) who was my guest on RC Radio a few weeks ago. Corsi said "I plan to call Frank's employer to see if they agree with Arduini's views on Obama's eligibility". Really? Does it really matter to this faux-journalist what Arduini's employer thinks? Why doesn't Corsi man up and admit that he is behaving like a vindictive child and wants to cause any problems he can for everyone who dares to criticize him or other Birthers?

Corsi published these lies because he has an agenda. He wants to sell his book to Birthers and to defame the President and his supporters. He couldn't care less for the truth. Mr. Corsi, this is Harvard University calling. We would like our PhD back.

Doctor Conspiracy on RC Radio

Doctor Conspiracy from Obama Conspiracy Theories will be my guest on RC Radio this week when I return to host. Doc just keeps turning out great articles on the Birthers. He recently marked the posting of over 100,000 comments on articles on his blog.

Orly's latest carnival side show and why it will fail

You would would think after a two and a half year year unbroken string of complete and utter failures in the courts that even the most insane of Birthers would be a little skeptical about Orly Taitz latest stupid lawyer trick. But alas no. They are falling for it again. Birther blogs like Birther Reports and Dr. (k)Hate's are frothing at the mouth over the "court ordered" subpoena that Orly mailed to Hawaiian Director of Health Loretta Fuddy to perform an examination of the "original long form birth certificate". The subpoena was issued in the Taitz v Astrue FOIA case in Washington, DC District Court. Here is how Orly explained her latest bit of legal brilliance:

I served the director of Health with 2 subpoenas. [Actually, it is 3 subpoenas, but who is counting?]

There are two ways to issue subpoenas: first -generated by an attorney and second-generated by the court. Even if the case is in DC, the subpoena will come from the district court in HI, sine the director of Health is in their jurisdiction.

after I served the director of Health, Loretta Fuddy with the the first subpoena, the attorney General of HI responded on her behalf, stating that she will not comply due to the considerations of privacy (totally bogus argument, since Obama already released the document, so he cannot claim privacy as a legitimate issue).

I served them with a second subpoena, this time it is signed by the clerk of the court. Meanwhile I am filing a motion to compel with the judge, saying that they are refusing to comply with the first one and I want a court order. If meanwhile they comply with the second subpoena, I will withdraw the motion.

I have multiple opportunities and multiple ways to get there. I’d like to keep my cards close to my chest, so I will not explain further. All I can say, that If the judge does not rule in my favor in the case at hand, I will continue on multiple fronts and at the end of the day a number of people will be sitting in prison. Several highly positioned individuals will be in hot water. ObamaFraudGate and ObamaforgeryGate is 100 times bigger, than Watergate. It will not go away, it will only grow bigger and it will swallow more and more officials.  Democrat party will end up completely annihilated, if it lasts much longer. also, there is a backlash against sitting republican congressmen and senators. My feeling is,  that during the next election sitting congressmen from both parties will end up being sent home: Republicans will be sent home during the primary, Democrats -during the general election.

Deputy Attorney General for Hawaii, Jill T. Nagamine, sent a letter to Taitz in response to her first subpoena that Orly had signed and explained why there was no way they would comply with the stupid request. She quoted the pertinent sections of Hawaiian law 338-18 that lists who is entitled to get a copy of another persons birth records and Orly is not on the list. Orly believes that since the President released a copy of his LFBC on April 27 that it somehow magically changes the law.

A commenter named "pro graphics" on Birther Reports was so excited that he is offering Orly advice on choosing the "experts" that she will take to examine the original records come August 8:

 RECAP:


1. Gather like-dated documents (Maybe the Nordykes will provide one - that would be ideal)


2. Start following leads for experts. A primer for the right approach can be found in this FAQ from applied forensics


http://www.appliedforensics.com/faq.html


Check their public record of campaign contributions - you don't want to accidentally wind up with a mole.


3. ASAP - Get 3 of these people. This could run into real money. Start getting the money together for this right now, and identify the people you want with consultation - investigate their background for campaign contributions - but pay no one yet because we do not know if the subpoena will be honored. If and when it is, DOH is likely to force Orly to rush through the process with only a few days warning - they will try to schedule this on their terms that favor Obama - so Orly must have all her ducks in a row ASAP and be ready to jump.


If anyone blows this opportunity - if the document is made available - we'll be in "conspiracy theory" land forever. The only other thing we can do day-to-day for sure, IMO, is continue doing what has been successfully started: get the word out. Stamping, flyers and the rest. Public pressure will do for us what the subpoena situation will not if it should fail. And people need to have the foundation established for them right away - OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS FAKE - so they immediately understand what Orly says when she releases the result.


Someone close and trusted by Orly may want to forward this to her. Might help. You never know.

So how did Orly obtain the most recent subpoena signed by a clerk from the federal court in Hawaii? A quick check of FRCP Rule 45(a)(3) states that any attorney may obtain a a signed blank subpoena from the clerk of a federal court.  This is what Orly did. (Orly stopped reading there unfortunately.) For many reasons including, but not limited to the reasons Deputy AG Nagamine gave in her previous letter to Orly, this inspection of the records will never take place. There is one glaring error in Orly's latest motion to compel that even this humble writer who does not have a legal degree, mail order or otherwise, was able to spot. I am not going to reveal it though. We have given Orly just the right amount of help that she is hopefully going to get exactly what she deserves from Judge Lamberth. It will probably not be what she expects.

Terry Krepel from ConWebWatch will be my guest on RC Radio tonight

Terry Krepel from ConWebWatch and the companion ConWebBlog will be my guest tonight. Terry attended the over-hyped news conference conducted by WorldNetDaily at a rented room at the National Press Club yesterday where WND announced they are suing Esquire for a laughable amount of money because Esquire ran a satirical article claiming Joe Farah had pulled Jerome Corsi's new book on the day of publication. 

What's ConWebWatch?

The Internet has spawned a plethora of "alternative" news sources. Some of them -- with substantial financial backing from political conservatives -- claim to offer some version of the “real truth,” the stories you suppposedly don’t get from “mainstream” media.

In reality, these sites are no less slanted or arrogant than they accuse the "mainstream" media of being. They demonstrate time and again that, despite promoting themselves with words like "fairness," "responsibility," "accuracy" and "balance," their real goal is to attack and discredit anyone who doesn’t agree with them, as well as to promote their own political views -- the same exact thing they accuse the "liberal" media of doing.

That is why I created ConWebWatch in April 2000 as the first Web site dedicated to analysis and critique of conservative "new media" -- and it is the only one with these organizations as its main focus.

Paul Irey's biased analysis - "I knew it was a forgery before I even looked at it"

Paul Irey

Paul Irey was my guest on the second hour of RC Radio last Thursday. Mr. Irey retired from the graphics design and advertising profession. He was also an Air Force clerk back in the 1950's. Mr. Irey claims no expertise in document forensics. His background and lack of credentials would lead one to ask why Mr. Irey took it upon himself to perform an analysis of the Obama long form birth certificate released by the White House on April 27 and declare it a forgery. It would also lead one to question why anyone would take him seriously. World Net Daily seems to the only site with any wide distribution who has published Mr. Irey's "findings". Mr. Irey blames the "corrupt media who are protecting Obama" for not widely distributing his analysis.

Let's look a little more closely at Mr. Irey's story. Mr. Irey said he became interested in the eligibility issue in 2008 when he heard of Phil Berg and his lawsuit. Mr. Irey has some of the facts wrong on Berg. He claimed Berg had filed his suit in the Pennsylvania courts and that Berg was a "respected attorney" when he filed his suit. Neither of these is correct. Berg filed in the Federal Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and was known as a 911 Truther who wanted both President Bush and VP Cheney tried for treason for their part in the 911 terrorist attack. Mr. Irey repeated the long debunked Birther claim that one could obtain a short form COLB stating Hawaiian birth without having been born in Hawaii. Irey also claimed that he knew the BC was a forgery before he even looked at it because an unnamed Secret Service agent had told him "Obama had not been vetted". Can you say confirmation bias?

Transcript of the May 11 Hearing in Hornbeck v Salazar Procured

The transcript of the impromptu hearing held by US Magistrate Judge Joseph Wilkinson  on May 11 in New Orleans was posted by Jack Ryan and Friends of The Fogbow today. The transcript indicates that the report given by Georgetown JD the same evening on RC Radio was indeed very accurate including the two interruptions when Orly's cell phone rang, (Cell phones are not allowed in the court by rule and any real lawyer would have been mortified and turned it off after the first incident). The purpose of the hearing was to discuss Taitz motion to intervene in a case involving the off shore drilling ban imposed after the April 20, 2010 BP spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

No hearing had been scheduled. However, Taitz didn't bother to read the local rules, misinterpreted the docket, and flew all the way from her palatial mansion in California to New Orleans believing there was to be one. Judge Wilkinson took pity on the ditzy attorney and called attorneys for the other parties to quickly conduct the unscheduled hearing while forcing parties in other cases who had followed the rules and had hearings on the docket to wait. Taitz silly motion to intervene was denied the following day.

HORNBECK v SALAZAR - TRANSCRIPT OF ORLY TAITZ 5-11-11 Hearing

Hey, Jerry Corsi, while you are filing criminal complaints how about filing one against your boss

Jerome Corsi the author of the instant comedy classic, Where's the Birth Certificate, said Sunday night on the Bill Cunningham radio program that he will be "filing criminal charges against the White House for releasing a fraudulent birth certificate". You know the one the State of Hawaii says is valid? Just how does a building commit a crime? RC Radio strongly encourages Corsi to follow through on his pledge. Please call the FBI today and report this heinous crime. While you are at Jerry, we hope you could take the time to report an actual crime that might be in progress in your own house at World Net Daily. Is your boss Joe Farah committing fraud? He solicited donations to pay $15,000 to the hospital where Barack Obama as born. Now your lying weasel of a boss is welshing on that claim and pocketing the money that the poor fools donated. So Jerome, let's get cracking! Call the FBI. Do it today. Time is a wasting. If you need advice on how a citizen can file a criminal complaint we refer you to Walter "Cordwood" Fitzpatrick III and Sharon "Harpie" Rondeau. They both have lots of experience that they can share with you.They can even help you put together a "Fifth Amendment Grand Jury" to do the job.

If you report these crimes today I will forgive you for not naming the person in the press you say was involved in making the fake long form birth certificate and releasing those 25 Kenyan documents that prove someone tampered with Obama's "Kenyan birth records". All that stuff you promised to release yesterday can wait. Reporting crimes is obviously more important. Please tell us what the FBI has to say.

Update: Corsi appeared on the nutty Alex Jones radio show today (yeah that 911 Truther so insane that even Freeper owner Jim Robinson can't stomach him). He completely wimped out and said that World Nut Daily had hired a "world famous scanner expert" and that he would let the scanner expert file the criminal complaint. I guess Corsi would rather not known as the person filing groundless criminal complaints with the FBI.
