A remarkable transformation is underway in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The birthplace and final resting place of George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson—and once one of the most reliably-red of red states—is being rapidly turned into a progressive stronghold.

These changes are not the result of an inside agency, or a natural evolution in political thinking, but rather the result of one of the most impactful yet least-discussed policies of the federal government.

Each year the federal government prints millions of visas and distributes these admission tickets to the poorest and least-developed nations in the world.

A middle-aged person living in parts of Virginia today will have witnessed more demographic change in the span of her life than many societies have experienced in millennia.

A census study entitled “Immigrants in Virginia,” released by University of Virginia (UVA) researchers, documented the phenomenon: “Until 1970, only 1 in 100 Virginians was born outside of the United States; by 2012, 1 in every 9 Virginians is foreign-born.”

Fairfax Connection, a community newspaper, offered more detail:

In the span of one generation, Fairfax County has seen an explosion in its immigrant population. In 1970, more than 93 percent of Fairfax County’s population was white and middle-class. In the fall of 1970, a white 6-year-old child beginning elementary school in one of the county’s developing towns… could look to his left, or look to his right, and see a classroom full of children who, at least 90 percent of the time, looked like him and who spoke English. By 2010, a child entering elementary school in Fairfax County would almost certainly encounter a classmate who did not speak English as a primary language, and whose parents or grandparents immigrated from places such as Vietnam, India, Korea or a country in Africa.

UVA’s report explains that more than three out of four of Virginia immigrants (77 percent) are coming from either Latin America or Asia—immigration from Europe, the report writes, “lag[s] far behind” representing only 10 percent of Virginia’s immigrant population. This is consistent with trends nationwide. According to the 2013 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration Yearbook, only 8.7 percent of green cards issued by the federal government went to immigrants born in Europe, a product of immigration changes pushed through by Ted Kennedy in 1965.

DHS’ yearbook, however, does not provide information on parental nativity– in other words, it doesn’t say whether an immigrant from the United Kingdom may be the child of Saudi parents.

Additionally, according to DHS, of those refugees issued admissions slips into the United States, 75 percent came from four countries– Iraq, Burma, Somalia and Bhutan– while another 15 percent came from Iran, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and the Dominican Republic.

Large numbers of these settlers handpicked by the federal government have come to Virginia. A 2011 article from The Washington Post explains: “Soaring number of Hispanics and Asians pushed Virginia’s population over 8 million in the past decade.”

“Statewide the number of Hispanics almost doubled to 632,000. Hispanics now make up 8 percent of Virginia residents.” The Post continues, “The state’s Asian population also took off, climbing by 68 percent in 10 years.”

The Post notes that, “as recently as 1990, non-Hispanic whites made up 76 percent of the state’s residents. A decade later, their numbers had fallen to 70 percent, and [in 2010], they accounted for less than two-thirds of the state’s residents.”

Because these newcomers to Virginia have largely been invited into the country with green cards or other visas, they can collect public benefits, fill any job, rely on federal retirement programs, and become naturalized voting citizens.

Year after year, the United States continues its annual dispensation of one million plus new green cards, the admission of one million foreign workers, refugees and dependents, and the importation of half a million foreign youths sought by college administrators.

One in four U.S. residents is either an immigrant himself or has immigrant parents. The Census Bureau projects that the U.S. will add another 14 million immigrants over the following ten years if green card programs aren’t slashed, pushing the U.S. past all documented historical immigration records in terms of immigrant to population ratio. When a high point was hit last century, then-President Calvin Coolidge hit the pause button for roughly fifty years– producing an era of explosive wage growth. That pause continued until Ted Kennedy ushered in legislation that opened our borders to the entire world.

The steady gusher of visas happens silently and without little media recognition, yet its effects are more permanent and transformative than many of the most far-reaching foreign policy accords….

President Obama and his administration continue to support the global Islamist militant group known the Muslim Brotherhood.

A White House strategy document regards the group as a moderate alternative to more violent Islamist groups like al Qaeda and the Islamic State.

The policy of backing the Muslim Brotherhood is outlined in a secret directive called Presidential Study Directive-11, or PSD-11. The directive was produced in 2011 and outlines administration support for political reform in the Middle East and North Africa, according to officials familiar with the classified study.

Efforts to force the administration to release the directive or portions of it under the Freedom of Information Act have been unsuccessful.

White House National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan declined to comment on PSD-11. “We have nothing for you on this,” she said.

The directive outlines why the administration has chosen the Muslim Brotherhood, which last year was labeled a terrorist organization by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates as a key vehicle of U.S. backing for so-called political reform in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia in recent months appears to be moderating its opposition to the Brotherhood in a bid to gain more regional support against pro-Iran rebels in Yemen.

The UAE government also has labeled two U.S. affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society, as terrorist support groups. Both groups denied the UAE claims. Egypt is considering imposing a death sentence on Mohamed Morsi, theMuslim Brotherhood-backed former president who was ousted in military coup in July 2013.

Critics of the administration’s strategy say the Brotherhood masks its goals and objectives despite advocating an extremist ideology similar to those espoused by al Qaeda and the Islamic State, but with less violence. The group’s motto includes the phrase “jihad is our way.” Jihad means holy war and is the Islamist battle cry.

Counterterrorism analyst Patrick Poole said the Brotherhood in recent weeks has stepped up its use of violent attacks in Egypt.

“The failed Obama Doctrine that so-called ‘moderate Islamists’ were going to usher in a glorious era of peace and democracy in the Middle East was adopted by the administration because that’s what the foreign policy establishment going back to the George W. Bush administration proclaimed as gospel,” Mr. Poole said.

“And now we see as a result Egypt fighting a terror campaign by the ‘moderate’ Muslim Brotherhood; we have a failed state in Libya; and we see NATO ally Turkey turning from secular democracy to religious totalitarianism under Obama’s pal [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan.

“This dangerous foreign policy was launched by PSD-11 and the administration’s open embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood, and now we can see its catastrophic effect,” Mr. Poole added.

Frank Gaffney, head of the Center for Security Policy, extensively documented Muslim Brotherhood subversion efforts, both in the United States and abroad.

Mr. Gaffney has said the Muslim Brotherhood is the most dangerous group promoting the totalitarian and Islamist supremacist doctrine of Shariah. Several Muslim Brotherhood supporters have been identified as key advisers to Mr. Obama, according to Mr. Gaffney.

Egyptian press reports after the ouster of Mr. Morsi have revealed extensive cooperation between the CIA and the Muslim Brotherhood during Mr. Morsi’s presidency.

Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

In our both divided and damaged America of today, it's as if we have been on a two-term mission or perhaps acid-trip--as the case may be--and are only now beginning to re-enter the powerful influences of gravity which comprise essential reality.

This, even as the unrealistic lunacy we have been experiencing on our transformational journey,  seems to only now be reaching an apex of such magnitude that even the most ardent of leftist disciples are beginning to show vestiges of doubt.

The Virtual reality of the Obama regime being an irresponsible oligarchic government, and its re-entry into unwarped real-time, as many are realizing, has reached a terminus where 'seeming to be' eventually must give way to 'actually being.'

While many have touted the old saying that 'perception is reality,' over the last 6 years , some are beginning to now experience the cracks in that particular argument--that the flight of living in orbital fiction,  must eventually give way to friction, at some point, and the very caustic atmosphere of re-entry is singularly unforgiving.

Just nod if you can hear me

Indeed, with at least some Americans, the scales have been increasingly thinned from eyes grown ever more bleary, as the ever increasing few can now begin to see the utter balefulness which seems to await us at the end of our current trajectory.

Since our eventful journey into "The Transformation of America" began, which is nothing if not a scouting trip into the existential boundaries of Fascist-Totalitarianism, we seemed to have now arrived at what could be described as an Event Horizon.

The term Event Horizon could be described as a point in astrophysical theory, which equates to a final juncture in both time and position, where we either commit to the present ill-suited course and hope for the best, or reverse all engines and try heroically to escape from the powerful gravity waves of what is quickly becoming full-blown American totalitarianism.

In scientific parlance, this horizon is that point in time in which gravitational force becomes so inexorably powerful, that escape is all but impossible.  In other words, the US is approaching a point at which neither we the people nor even light itself, can escape the forces at the core of our black hole of acutely exorcised self-governance.

In essence, America is no longer "By the People and For the People," but rather has found itself within a power struggle between an irrepressibly wanton Executive Branch and the quasi-oligarchy that once was Congress.

The problem with the phenomena known as an Event Horizons, simply put, is the fact that the observer in his or her visual perception, can never quite comprehend when the object being observed or occupied crosses over into the apex of destruction itself.

In essence, despite having actually entered into the event horizon the victim never appears to cross over until such a time as the singularity at its core is finally encountered, which finally and utterly destroys the participants before they can ever completely comprehend the fact that they were actually within the terminus, in the first place.

The singularly witted individuals who have somehow managed to lead America into this conundrum are none other than those Progressives who currently occupy two-thirds of the leadership positions in the government, as led by one man, Barack Obama.

Despite a much ballyhooed Presidency, as stanchioned by the Media at large, it can be shown that each major policy directive of the Obama Regime's Agenda has been a complete and utter failure on the face of it.

The following are but a few of many examples:

Open Border: I caught a fleeting glimpse

While the Obama Regime has set itself either upon attacking or rendering next to useless the only law enforcement agency available to effectively  guard the porous US border, I.C.E. , the southern hordes of illegal immigrant children and thugs are surging over the border at an alarming and unprecedented rate, and for good reason. The Obama regime is now transporting them,  for free,  to points all over the US after essentially promising these refugees  amnesty by decree.

A Post which advertises  an opportunity for independent  contractor drivers for the transport of unaccompanied illegal alien children, has been making the internet rounds for the past several days.

The intriguing part of the post is the fact that it was published on January 29, of 2014 and specifically lists a total number of transports at 65,000 .  While the border surge of alien-children has been growing over the past several years, how could The Department of Homeland Security possibly know how many children would be coming over the border unless this unprecedented surge had been meticulously planned?

Obama's Cloward-Piven plans, by overwhelming the system leading inevitably to eventual economic collapse and martial law,  seem to remain on track,  even as his popularity has periscoped, of late.

Foreign Policy: Just the Basic Facts

It's as if Pee Wee Herman had taken over the State Department, only problem being, that most of Pee Wee's Big Adventures end well. Not so much, however, with this Pee Wee Presidency, jealously grasping for more power even as under his leadership, the world has become more war-torn and unstable than at any time since WWII.

The Eurozone has quietly introduced negative interest rates in vainglorious hope of re-igniting their stuttering economy while simultaneously being overrun by Islamic immigrants. Russia is even now threatening to invade Ukraine completely after already having taken over Crimea, as the US-Russia cold war has been reignited by Obama's inexorably feeble grasp of geo-politics.

Northern Africa is under attack by Al Qaeda, as ISIS terrorists intent upon building a Super-Caliphate, have surged over Iraq, and Syria, and numerous other areas across the globe are beset by Islamic Extremists. China is rattling its saber at most pro-western Asian nations and South America has become a torrent of Leftist economic unrest, while Israel and the US have never been more distant, these just to name a few.

In retrospect, it's actually quite likely that much like the faltering US Presidency, it may have been better for the US to have never even had a State Department, never-mind the leader at the helm, Hillary Clinton, who inarguably has shown even less capability than her boss, Barack Obama, even as she postures that things will be different with her as President. America has now lost much if not most of the respect it had previously enjoyed across the planet and can boast  a concerted lack of trust among its allies in addition to a noteworthy lack of dread among its enemies.

There are a few other things that Obama does exceedingly well at, aside from reading teleprompters....

Terrorism: There is no pain; you are receding

"Al Qaeda's on the path to defeat," stated Obama, during the 2012 DNC convention in Charlotte NC.

Most important at convention time for the Democrat-Liberals in 2012, was free access to birth control, booing God, crowing over Bin Laden's death, and literally attacking Conservative opposition with every federal law enforcement agency available, in addition to America's non-biased mainstream media.

But since those fateful words, uttered by Obama, what we've found is both an Afghanistan increasingly under the nasty thumbs of an ever-bestial Taliban, and an Iraq that has almost been completely overrun by Sunni Terrorists. Dictator Bashar Assad has re-assumed control of Syria for the most part, while Jordan and many other smaller Mideast nations are teetering under a veritable plague of bloodthirsty Islamists, in addition to a sea of frightened refugees.

Terrorism across the globe has undergone an unprecedented surge, under the Obama regime, which had thought to simply make friends with the extremist Muslims and let bygones be bygones.  Moreover, the Obama Regime seems more interested in coddling murderous Islamists as freedom fighters while labeling domestic Conservative opposition in the US as domestic terrorists, than trying to stabilize the world with US strength, such as it is at this juncture.

Duly noted that Obama's pretending to posture a strong foreign policy front, would probably play about as realistic as Richard Simmons assuming the role of Ironman.....Chaos truly reigns, and let us not forget who Obama was fronting weapons to in order to fight the Syrian dictator....yes, indeed, the same groups which eventually split off and began taking over Iraq:

This is what Obama stated of the Sunni terrorist group ISIS, when it took over a major city in Iraq, in January:

"If a J.V. team puts on Lakers' uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant" (January 2014). "[C]ore al Qaeda is on its heels, has been decimated" (August 2013). "So, let there be no doubt: The tide of war is receding"(September 2011).

So, would that be a J.V. terrorist group or the Obama Regime, itself?

Several days ago, none other than the Washington Post, one of the most widely read papers in the US, has outed this glaring lie by Obama, as the ISIS terrorist group continues its takeover of Iraq, and due largely to one of the most incompetent political candidates ever, according to Bill Clinton, of Barack Obama.

"With regards to Iraq, you and I agreed, I believe, that there should be a status of forces agreement," Romney told Obama during the 2012 debate.

"That’s not true," Obama interjected.

“Oh, you didn't want a status of forces agreement?” Romney asked as an argument ensued.

“No,” Obama said. “What I would not have done is left 10,000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down. That certainly would not help us in the Middle East.”

On Thursday, Obama addressed reporters in the White House Briefing Room about Iraq’s latest crisis:

“Do you wish you had left a residual force in Iraq? Any regrets about that decision in 2011?” a reporter asked.

“Well, keep in mind that wasn’t a decision made by me,” Obama said. “That was a decision made by the Iraqi government.”

US Economy: Only coming through in waves

While the Obama Regime insists that the American economy is now in good claws and unemployment has been defeated, what we've actually seen is an extraordinary improvement in our service industries, as architects, engineers, and other Master's degree recipients ply their highly-polished trades within our extraordinarily competitive fast food industry.

It's as if the Obama Regime has thrown a wet blanket on a once fiery economy and wrestled it to the ground, while occasionally dousing it with new regulations to keep it from reaching flashpoint.

As a result over, 92 million people who wish to work are not working, meaning that --overall--there are more non-working people than working people in the US, a recipe for eventual disaster.

In fact, since Obama came into office in 2009, the working population has remained, rather stubbornly, at about the same static levels and has yet to truly rebound since the 2008 meltdown, despite millions of job-hungry young candidates looking to enter the work force.

 Employment-Population Ratio

The U6 unemployment rate category places US unemployment at a ridiculous historical high of 12.2 % and holding, even as Obama continually refuses to allow job-surging projects such as the XL pipeline to be built, which would provide both jobs and an ample source of energy infusion into the world's economic markets.

In other news, many world economists are predicting a financial reset which would have a world-changing effect on everything, as in removing the US dollar as the world reserve currency and replacing it with a basket of currencies known as "special drawing rights" or SDR's, in essence a new and singular world financial currency. This change would, at best, effectively plunge the US economy into the doldrums of a 2nd depression. Cross your fingers on hoping that particular prediction simply doesn't come true.

US Healthcare: Just a little pin prick

Since the advent of Obamacare, the one thing which many individuals are beginning to understand is that despite the stated impetus of providing everyone with quality, affordable, healthcare the exact opposite has proven to be true.

In the US, short of a qualifying event which requires special treatment, as of March 31st, no individual can now buy IRS compliant personal health insurance, a thing that has never occurred in the entire history of the health insurance industry.

Luckily, Medicaid is still just as available as it was before Obamacare, despite the fact that most of the entire inner-beltway entirely forgot about that specific (behemoth) socialized medical program for people who cannot afford health insurance, which was the ostensible reason for Obamacare in the first place, but not really. As premiums have risen substantially and deductibles have become effectively unaffordable, 1/5th of the US economy [healthcare] is even now being stamped down into a crumpled heap of debris, and at the heels of El Magnifico himself.

From a Facebook friend:

"My policy was canceled. The new policy with only catastrophic coverage (exact same coverage as my old policy) replaced the old one but my premium went from 190 a month to 410. I don't need pregnancy benefits!

Two weeks ago I was looking around to see if I could find a better policy for my money and I discovered that I can't change policies until 2015 even if I could do better.

If a person has no insurance policy they can't get one, except for a "temporary" policy which covers only catastrophic events and is also expensive, without a qualifying life event until 2015. I can't afford to seek health CARE because health INSURANCE costs too much."

Thank you Mr. President!

The next enrollment period comes back around shortly after the next Blood Moon rises, in November of 2014. Meanwhile, both hospitals and medical providers are dropping like flies, and doctors are fleeing the medical industry in droves, which will eventually create a healthcare crisis unlike anything yet seen in the US, assuming things continue on as presently engineered.

Point being, Pee Wee's Presidency strikes again as the Big Top White House slowly devolves into a House of Fascist Horrors, but at least we now know what we have to look forward to....

Veterans Care: There'll be no more..... aaaaaaaah!

The VA and its ongoing problems were promised to be fixed by Obama right after his inauguration, however, instead of effecting change within the VA, the President promptly set to ignoring it completely. Under the Obama Regime over the past six years, and despite wads of cash being repeatedly thrown at the troubled agency, the problems only got worse.

Waiting times for service doubled and sometimes even tripled to a year's wait causing as many as 40 deaths, and probably many more, to former armed service members who had been promised ample medical care after their military service. Unfortunately, as waiting times grew worse and worse, the VA set to solving the problem once and for all and began creating secret waiting lists, alleviating the problem, at least on paper, in one fell conspiratorial swoop.

Luckily, the Senate and House has decided to fix this problem once and for all....by throwing barrels of cash at it rather than wads--job well done, goodfellas, job well done....

Unresolved Obama Regime Scandals: I turned to look but it was gone

Despite a plethora of scandal after scandal, each of which remain patently unresolved, the media has chosen in large part to ignore  most of the scandals, this despite ever increasing public knowledge of the fact that the media is ignoring these stories.

This has caused a societal backlash effect, however. For instance, the serial ignoring of important political news unbecoming to the Obama regime by virtually every major TV news network has reached a singularity--meaning most people now seem to both know and understand this fact. According to a recent Gallup poll, confidence in network TV news has reached an all time low in 2014:

The blame for this particularly predictable outcome can easily be laid at the feet of the following issues, which by the way, induces most Progressives into paroxysms of hyper-insanity, which in and of itself has also become predictable. In essence ABC, NBC, CBS, and NPR have become but mere spokes in the rim of the Obama Regime's propaganda efforts, to include the entire Democrat party, and for the following reasons:

Benghazi: A distant ship smoke on the horizon

After finally arresting the cafe-lizard/terrorist who had fronted the Libya attack on the Benghazi Compound, killing four Americans, the Obama Regime (after trading five A-Team terrorists for a US deserter) came under extreme fire. This ultimately prompted the White House to react and incarcerate the rather patiently awaiting terrorist for trial, after being questioned by reporter after reporter over the prior two years, who had easily found this murdering Islamist.

However, the mean facts remain that few people neither know nor understand the why's and the how's of what actually happened at the time, in Benghazi nor why after an attack that took place over most of the night, no help ever came. Moreover, the 30 wounded survivors of the attack have been placed under wraps by the US government and warned to silence, or else. The other questions which remain include an inquiry into why the mission existed in the first place, and why the mission was left virtually undefended, in the face of a plethora of terrorist threats.

The penultimate question? Where was Obama...

IRS Targeting of Obama's Opposition: But you may feel a little sick

As Lois Lerner suffers through paid retirement after performing her harassment duty of Obama's  opposition prior to the 2012 elections, the question remains regarding where her marching orders came from.  While the Obama regime insists that Lerner, as a high-level career official of the apolitical IRS, heroically took it upon herself to obliterate all of Obama's tax paying enemies by a figurative agency firing squad, most Americans  had difficulty believing that particular angle, and most especially after Lerner pleaded the fifth in order to protect the higher-ups in question, whom she was protecting.

But then, when the current director claimed that thousands of Lerner's emails to other branches of the government had gone missing and that Lerner's hard drive had subsequently crashed, along with five other key employees, millions of Americans executed a series of unbelieving eye rolls in unison.  The piece de resistance? The back-ups are also mysteriously missing.... and the hard drives have since been destroyed.

Falsified Search Warrants, Bugging of the Press, and a Lawless DOJ: Come on, it's time to go

While Attorney General Eric Holder has already been held in contempt of Congress for verifiably lying in congressional testimony, at present a   push is underway to impeach Holder and throw him under the Justice department, and for good reason. The greatest Constitutional violations include denying knowledge of reporter James Rosen's subpoenas after signing off on them, failing to prosecute IRS employees after certain knowledge and proof of illegal political targeting, and ignoring laws which require notification of Congress before releasing Gitmo terrorist detainees.

Now, Congress has learned that the DOJ approved the transport of illegal aliens from Texas and is dumping them in Arizona only to eventually let them go. All of this in addition to other items, that after almost six lawless years in office, have become far too numerous to mention including:

IRS Sued for Illegally Seizing Medical Records

The Obama Regime Cover-Up of the  Seal Team Six Assassination

The MF Global Scandal

The Multi-Billion Dollar Solyndra Scandal

The US Treasury's Illegal Derivative Seizure Scandal

US Government's Illegal GM Giveaway to the United Auto Workers

The Obama Ineligibility Scandal

The Bigger Picture: The child is grown

Events taking place on every corner of the earth seem to now be spinning out of control, but even including here in America.

It's as if Pandora's box has been opened and there's no magical solution that can reverse a thing that had in fact been predicted ages ago, and the interesting part is the fact that the US, especially over the past decade, has played its meaningful part on the stage that has culminated at this point in time, our coming Event Horizon right now, for better or for worse.

Is there anybody in there?

"Comfortably Numb"

Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

The joke goes something to the effect of "Can you name the three differences between God and Obama?" The answers are "Neither have a birth certificate, God is satisfied with 10%, and God doesn't think he's Obama."

So, can we finally stow these compelling "Birther" jokes away, now? The answer to that question appears to be just as complex and mystifyingly layered as Obama's long-form birth certificate itself. While the US has now received multiple warnings from international financial agencies, domestic rating agencies, and even the Chairman of the Federal Reserve himself, the Beltway crowd still doesn't seem to be comprehending the message that needs to get through on both spending and the debt limit. While large numbers of both the politico and the pundit sects have actually renounced the Birther issue as a ridiculous distraction, it has albeit secretly, been lauded by many as welcome, in truth.

But, the fact remains that on August 4th, 1961, a tiny infant came into the world in what everyone can agree was a rather exotic location, regardless of actual longitude. Little, however, could the parents of this particular child have known that almost a half  century later, the geopolitical location of this particular infant's birthplace would have such far-reaching implications. The fact that one of the most powerful nations on earth would lay fractionally, if not neglectfully, divided as a result of an otherwise humble birth, could not possibly have been foreseen, or even imagined, at the time.

A Shock To The System

Also in 1961, another young boy, born to a wealthy family in Queens, New York was also coming into his own after being forced to attend a military academy by his parents.  Born in 1946, this unruly child was destined to, nearly effortlessly, remain in the public eye for a large part of his life, while also sparking a great deal of controversy at his enduring lack of political correctness and stubborn resilience.  Here again, no one could have known that this aggressive young boy would later carve out his own place in the world, while commanding enough respect to monumentally affect the former child's actions, as leader of the Free World, despite their origins being half a world apart.

On Wednesday, April 27th, the seasoned version of one of these two children, President Barack Obama, shocked the nation and suddenly released what was reported to be his original birth certificate in direct response to the other child's, prospective Presidential candidate Donald Trump's, repeated demands. While many within the Democratic Party and the media slumped in stealthy relief, the large opposition group who had initially raised this issue immediately noticed that something might, indeed, be wrong, as millions of screens went herringbone green all over America and the rest of the world to a lesser extent.

You see, the abstract insult of either the taking or the keeping of  something, away from its rightful owner, only to finally give it back broken, seemed to be the overall sympathy at play within a now terribly wounded American psyche, as many a practiced eye squinted in expectant disbelief. The certificate, to those who wished to see, was not at all the replica that is considered typical when any American is asked to both retrieve and present his or her birth certificate.  The technical aspects of this to be addressed later.

But, the particular reasons for a now-wounded civil society are many, if not myriad, one should powerfully note. The oft-repeated cynical mantra coming from anyone left-of-center has continually seemed to focus squarely on  the slandering charge of racism when any form of criticism, for any reason, was launched at this President. Even more interestingly, these charges of racism have not been limited to only the lowest common denominators of the leftward movement but rather have come from the very peaks of Liberaldom's leadership. Even very recently, the moderately well-respected journalist Bob Schieffer leveled the charge of racism at Donald Trump for his questioning of Obama's educational performance, if not birth origins.

When Affirmative Action Become Political Censure

Interestingly, the majority of Democrats who had questioned George W. Bush's educational performance, to our knowledge, were never leveled with the charge of racism by their opposites. Well, that would be silly! One might respond--to which, we would rebut, "then how is this other not silly?" It, in fact, would appear that Affirmative Action has now reached a whole new level of unintended scope, if this is our new reality.

The charges of racism disingenuously wrapped in the bunting of political censure have been present and have even been offered up as the primary motivation for any number of presidential policy criticisms since day one of Obama's election--and even before. Obamacare, the birth certificate, Cap and Trade, redistribution, Socialism, virtually any question regarding the President's past, or his policies have always been left smoldering at the door of racism by the same Obama political proponents.

But another very large and very lucid reason for the American public's "Birther" anxiety has come, not just from the dismissiveness of the anti-American Left,  nor from just the scalding intimidation of the Progressive media, and certainly not just from the Liberals actually in Government, no indeed. In this case, none other than some of the most vocal leaders of the Conservative movement have leveled charges at their own followers, calling "those who have questions" names ranging from "circus barkers" to "wacky fringe movements."

The Blaming Of The Shrews

Surprisingly, the caustically vocal Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter, two women who have always commanded our respect,  despite a great deal of their oft considered lunatic ravings by the Left, have essentially insulted a large number of normal Americans from their acid denigration against those who simply ask the birth certificate question. Are we to assume that these two lovely ladies hold the sole authoritative positions for coming up with "nutty" conspiracy theories? The answer must now be "apparently."

In this case, however, and going against our normal traditions, we were meaningfully surprised. It's more than fine if our Conservative Consuela's do not always agree with us; however, these two have picked up squarely where the mainstream media leaves off when they begin denigrating the positions of a large number of Americans who simply do not know, one way or the other.

Both Malkin and Colter, it's quite interesting to note, have been at the forefront of insisting that virtually everything from the Left, and more specifically Obama, are nothing but lies built upon lies, to which we cannot disagree one bit at this point. But then, a material issue comes along which simply reeks of duplicity, and which has also raised extreme doubt among the masses, only to mysteriously dissolve into a non-issue for our two honored champions of the nay-sayers, which also reeks, in my opinion.

In fact, Colter and Malkin have often indirectly raised cain and lashed into their fanbases for Birther offenses only to get predictably creamed by their fans in retaliative response. Fanbases which, by the way, have been listening too and reading their columns for a significant number of years. My question to these fine two Conservative Authors would simply be, "well, what in the hell did you expect" at your readers' acid reaction to your responses, Hmm?

A Friendly Game of  Birther Ball

In fact, the various Conservative personality positions in the ongoing Birther question made for some very strange bedfellows, as the conspiracy has only seemed to intensify over the last two years.  Interestingly, the Conservatives whom I frequently find myself in agreement with, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, were "largely"  inside the camp of "seeing-is-believing" logic with both myself and a large number of Americans. Also in attendance with we--the skeptics--among many others, were Donald Trump of course,  Mark Levin, Newt Gingrich, Michael Savage, Sarah Palin, Alex Jones and Lou Dobbs who each, at some or many points, proffered a position of skepticism based upon simply not having seen the blasted thing. Well...that along with having heard a jaw-dropping number of the damning details surrounding the issue.

In the detractors camp we have Bill O'Reilly who called the issue "dopey," Michelle Malkin calls it a "birther-circus," Ann Coulter says that birthers are "just a few cranks," Glenn Beck called the issue "the dumbest thing I ever heard of," Laura Ingraham called the birthers "crazy," Charles Krauthammer called it "an insane trip," nearly all RINO's signed up with this crowd by the way--the list is long, exemplary and impressive.  Amazed so far? Now, does this mean that any of us should now despise these detractors and want nothing more to do with them? Good grief, no, not at all.

Then we would all be guilty of that same exact brand of indomitable arrogance as our misguided brethren. But, it is fascinating to note the range of separation on this issue from a large number of the not-so-usual suspects, along with my chief complaint here being:  'Ya might want to rethink the incessant name-calling of a large portion of your respective audiences, pinheads.  Why? Well, try this one on for size...

When The "Wacky Fringe" Becomes The Majority

At present, over 19 states in 2011 have enjoined pending legislation, which, if passed, will require physical proof from any presidential candidate in order to be placed upon a voting ticket, and this due directly to Obama's reluctance to show his birth certificate in the first place. This particular failure to perform by Obama could not be blamed in any way, shape or form on George W. Bush, this time by the way.  In fact, about 40% of all state legislatures within the United States are in the process of either passing or meaningfully considering this type of legislation.

Even better than that, on April 26th , one day before Obama's revelation, USA Today, one of America's most popular newspapers, indicated that only 38% of all US citizens definitely believed that President Obama was born in the US.  Bears repeating, less than 4 in 10 Americans feel certain that Obama was born in the United States. So, the question then becomes "why did the media and the Obamaphibians, not to mention our stalwart conservative turncoats, feel so strongly that the President was certainly born in the US?" Were they privy to some startling bit of evidence that was made unavailable to the American public or was it something else? Elitism perhaps, in deference to the pitchforked, unwashed peasants?

So, do the "conservative brainiacs" among us yet think that this issue is one belonging in the fringe category? If so, who exactly is of the fringe? Perhaps it's only those who buy their  particular Conservatives' books, of which I am guilty, alas (uh-oh!).  But the piece-de-resistance is the fact that these Conservatives have drunkenly set-up camp in the dark fog of misplaced ideological denial and awakened to find their tent pitched deeply within the enemy's compound.

Sleeping With The Enemy

Bill Maher, Michael Moore, Robert Gibbs, Olbermann, Colbert, Frank Rich, Stewart, Krugman, Pitts, Chris Matthews (who did say "Just show it"), et al, ad nausea, lay encamped all around them--sleeping with the enemy, as it were. How must that feel to our meandering Conservatives? Perhaps an Elitist tinge of thrill running up a leg? Good on ya' then, if that's the case! Look, most of the denial crowd never indicated a strong-held belief that Obama was born in Kenya, or wherever.

What they did state was simply that a preponderance of the evidence seemed to suggest that there might be something to this story, only perpetuated further by Obama's insistence on providing nothing for two long years, while apologizing for America at every whistlestop. Hobnobbing with Globalists, Communists and virtually every fringe group known to man, while decrying Capitalism at the same time. The Birther question would not be a stretch even with a proven birth certificate, folks.

An interesting side point to this drama would be for each of us to remember back to that wonderful day in which we entered this world. Think about it, do you remember your first day of birth within your respective hospitals? That "memory filled" trip down the birth canal, No?  Point-in-fact, being that no one can remember where or when they were actually born; the only thing that most have to draw upon is what someone else has told us or what an innocuous looking slip of paper says (except for good ole' Krugman) if you get my drift. So, what, exactly, did we find wrong with the alleged proof that Obama did not descend from the heavens? Well, let us count the ways...

The Problems With Obama's Birth Certificate

Conservative Refocus was one of the first to publish a story indicating that "problems may yet abound." This due to our experiences of creating or producing a rather healthy amount of graphic images and artwork on a monthly basis. When the White House image was fed onto and displayed across our computer screens, the graphical layering effect was immediately noticeable. Layering is, in essence, a procedure by which two or more disparate images are placed into the same graphic or picture.

It is a practice which is considered normal when doctoring an image to get that Hitler mustache just right on some unsuspecting Liberal's upper lip, or depositing Rep. Weiner's head onto some innocent vulture's ungainly body.  You  get the picture, no doubt. But in the case of the Obama birth certificate, we actually had various bits and pieces of text and graphics layered one upon the other, which could mean nothing other than the fact that the birth certificate image had been multi-dimensionally layered, in effect doctored, or does it?

We have seen a number of websites  offer up countering explanations in which a layering effect can be noticed when a particular type of OCR scan is done to an image. However, this still doesn't explain why an image, which is considered so terribly important, was not then "flattened" or "merged" or "finished" as most graphical images of importance are--especially if they are to be linked and downloaded by millions of individuals, press organizations, and even, of course, conspiracy theorists. Point in fact, when we scanned an image of my birth certificate, and then reopened it with a typical reader, the scan was not layered in the least. It was simply a two-dimensional image where all the parts were equal and present, no layers found.

The Twins Problem

However, the problems do not end there. The Obama certificate was supposedly bound in a volume of certificates. If that were so, then why is the patterned green paper surrounding the bound image unbroken? You can notice where the certificate curves down into the binding of the supposed book and yet the surrounding border of stock green paper appears to be one with the binding. More scanner technicalities, perhaps?

Even another problem, according to author Jerome Corsi in Worldnet Daily, the Nordyke twin dilemma only deepens the mystery. These twins, were born one day after Obama at the same hospital, but were given birth certificate numbers which were sequentially lower than the one given to Obama, who, once again, had been born one day earlier. The assigned numbers should have been a few digits higher. This, despite the fact that the Nordyke twins ascribed certificate numbers were expectantly sequential to one another in birth sequence. Another error perhaps?

The birth certificate numbers for the Nordyke twins were  No. 151 – 61 – 10637  and No. 151 – 61 – 10638. The twins were born just minutes of one another in 1961, one day after Obama's birth. Even despite a  span of a sparse five minutes, the twins were still given birth certificate numbers sequential to their times of birth down to the minute. Obama's certificate, despite having been born on August 4,1961, was given number No. 151 – 61 – 10641, which would have denoted a later birth date in virtually all instances. The twins were even born at the same hospital as Obama, Kapi' Olani Medical Center, which pales even further when considered with the fact that all certificate numbers are issued by the same office in Oahu, not the hospitals.

The other issue that many saw with the certificate was one of format presented. Nearly all certificates in existence, when communicated in this format, will be in the impression of the Nordyke twins, where the certificate appears much as a microfiche impression from the days prior to digital technology, along with a notarized stamp certifying the certificate's legitimacy. Does not the President have a certificate much like most individuals, lying around in their desk drawers--where mine has been for the last 25 years?

A Carriage Ride

And yet, the type is also an issue unnoticed, due to an idiosyncrasy native to mechanical typewriters of the time known as carriage rise. Whenever an upper-case letter is typed next to a lower case letter, old-style mechanical typewriters would require that the shift key be pressed, which then lifted the carriage up by about a 12th of an inch so that the upper-case letter would be impressed, rather than the lower.

This would always result in virtually all upper-case letters being positioned noticably higher than the lower case letters next to them. Any middle-aged cleric or grandmother would probably know all about this little idiosyncrasy, while most other individuals would think nothing of it. In the Obama certificate, none of the letters are mounted distinctively higher than any of the others, despite being typed out on a circa 1961 or earlier typewriter. My birth certificate clearly shows this issue across the entire certificate, despite being typed out over one year later.

There are other problems, as well. But the be-all-and-end-all would have to be the registrar's name, down at the bottom of Obama's certificate, being U.K. Lelee, sounding much like an arrogant joke more than anything else.

The Born Identity

Finally, as presented many, many times by this website and a number of others, the final question as to Obama's birth certificate, perhaps being the most telling, is his parentage. The certificate, if we are to consider it bonafide, clearly indicates the fact that Obama's father's country of origin is stated as Kenya. We also know that, despite other media attempts to dispel this fact, Barack Obama senior was actually deported by the INS in 1964, having overstayed his temporary US Visa. He was not, it now has been proven, a US citizen in any way, shape or form.

§ 212. Citizens and natives.

… natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. … children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. … The country of the fathers is, therefore, that of the children … in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

*Special thanks to the website I Took The Red Pill

This, therefore, clearly proves that the President is not what the US Constitution defines as a natural born citizen. A natural born citizen is defined as one who is born of two US citizens on US soil. You will see Liberal columnists, and even a few Conservative pundits, rail against this fact, and they will also, idiotically, point to various parts of the Constitution, which defines who is a US citizen, but do not be fooled. There is no argument that the President is a US citizen, of course, he is. The argument is that he is not a natural-born citizen, and that is where we have them right where they want us, apparently.

The real issue at play with the fact that almost 2/3 rds of all Americans initially doubted or still doubt Obama's birth origins actually speaks to something far more disturbing than a mere birth certificate. It is, in fact, a symptom that the population has grown extraordinarily cynical and significantly doubtful of what, exactly, their government is trying to achieve to the point of doubting every fact that is claimed.

The fact that Osama Bin Laden was just killed under Obama's watch may temporarily salve the civil society's animus, however as America continues its slow economic slide down the rim of the abyss and as costs spiral out of control with no effective private sector growth taking place, the panacea of Bin Laden's demise will be forgotten in short order. We also wonder how, if everything else is Bush's fault, this somehow is not.

These same birthers who have been laughed at and reviled by a relatively small minority with extraordinarily large bullhorns will soon become the "Rebirthers," and that is exactly what is needed, in this nation, right now.
