A Glenn Beck/Birther Nexus?
Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Here’s a strange story. On Sept. 8, Orly Taitz gave a press conference outside a California courthouse, during which she invited a small cast of characters to give statements. Taitz introduced a man named Marc Harris as “a reporter for Glenn Beck show (sic), number one radio show, and Fox News,” and Harris told reporters and assembled activists to attend a 9/12 protest in Los Angeles. They’d be celebrating “smaller government, less taxation, more freedom, and legal citizens occupying the White House.”
At that point, a man interrupted Harris to tell him what Beck should cover.
MAN: I respect everything Mr. Beck is doing. I’m sure we all do. He’s out there on the forefront. But he’s not addressing this issue. If we cut the head off of the dragon, a lot of these other issues will take care of themselves.
HARRIS: Um.
MAN: I wish Mr. Beck would, you know, step up to the plate and talk about this issue, because he keeps saying to his listeners on the radio, and on TV, stand up for the Constitution.
HARRIS: Sir, I can cut a lot of your emotion. We’re working on it. It’s a matter of time. We’re working on Van Jones and the czars first, and the obvious targets. We were successful there. We’re moving our way up. We’re moving our way up.
MAN: Yeah, well, he needs to talk — he talks the talk, but he doesn’t always walk the walk.
HARRIS: That’s why I’m here. Thank you very much.
Harris did speak at the 9/12 Los Angeles protest, and introduced himself a little more humbly.
My name is Marc Harris. I am a writer and researcher–I work with the Glenn Beck Show. I just gather and give them information, I don’t do anything else.
I found Harris’s number on Thursday night and called him to ask what, exactly, he did for Beck. Harris repeatedly asked me my name and affiliation and told me to “have Stu call me,” referring to Beck’s executive producer/head writer Steven “Stu” Burguiere. So I put out feelers to Burguiere and will see what comes up. Based on Harris’s tone and the speed with which he hung up, it’s unclear whether he actually has a working relationship with the show or whether he is a freelancer who wants to sound more important than he is. Whatever the case, word is traveling through the birther community that Beck is interested in the Obama conspiracies, based in large part on this video.

I do not know the whole rationale behind the Birther movement, but, from what I understand, the President has never released an original birth certificate from Hawaii.
The problem can be solved through “good reasoning” .. .release the certificate ..the original from the hospital or doctor and get it all over with .
I am surprised that a President would not grant a release of an original birth certificate; or if there was a problem he would explain it . .
Thanks,

Beck just wants Obama dead. Pure and simple. No different than what Manson carried out 40 years ago.
Comment posted September 18, 2009 @ 1:21 pm
Yes he has.
When you ask Hawaii for your “original birth certificate,” the state assembles a certificate on its original paper based on its own internal records and gives that certificate to you. That's all you can get from the state and that's what Obama's campaign released back in 2007. A person can't “release” something that he has no access to in the first place.

If you knew the whole rationale behind the birthers, you'd understand real quick why President Obama wouldn't give these folks the time of day. He released the official Certification of Live Birth that Hawaii provides in response to requests for birth certificates, only to see a cottage industry arise questioning whether the COLB was really real or whether it even had value as a legal document. Releasing any other document would represent yet another futile attempt to appease a group of people who will never believe anything Obama says or offers in support of the obvious fact that he was born where the COLB says he was.
Comment posted September 18, 2009 @ 4:00 pm
Well what you “understand” is completely and totally WRONG.
The state doesn't release the original form for ANYONE. The trouble is reality is such a tough pill for these mentally unbalanced birther psychotics to take that they believe its unfair to cite facts contrary to their preconceived mental illness.

David,
I commend you for tracking this story in a consistent and enlightening manner. You have distinguished yourself from the rest of the press-release publishing journalists out there.
Tip: Ms. Birther Queen herself, Orly Taitz and her husband Yosef Taitz (CEO of Daylight chemical systems) are wealthy Israeli nationals who live in a three million dollar home in California. Yosef's business is intricately linked with that of very large multinational drug companies like Norvatis, who is also the patent holder on the H1N1 vaccines.Yosef himself is a former member of the Israeli military. Both are supporters of right wing governments in Israel and Taitz herself is a former official of AIPAC — the main lobbying organization for Israeli interests in America.
Like war, is this Birther ruse politics by other means?
Why would a multi-millionaire be publicly soliciting donations from low education, low income southerners and senior citizens in order to overtly overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States?
Are you aware of any other instance when a foreign national has publicly admitted to pursuing the overthrow of the United States government and that individual has been given two prime time interview spots on National Television (MSNBC, CNN)? During all her media appearances on Television, none of the hosts have mentioned that both Taitz and her husband Yosef are millionaires who have a track record of filing nuisance lawsuits.
I challenge you to look into the actual backgrounds of Orly & Yosef Taitz. To whet your appetite, call Norvatis PR in the United States asking for comments about Norvatis relationship with Yosef Taitz and Daylight systems and see what happens. Yes, they are concerned about this.
Good luck!

For more on Yosef Taitz who was actually born in Latvia (before moving to Israel and then the United States in the early 80's) and was so obsessed with his Ethnic heritage he refused to drive any cars made in Germany.

The original hoaxer who first claimed that President Obama's BC was a fake was Ronald Jay Polland (aka Ron Polarik) another character with intense ethnic obsessions arising from Eastern Europe.

It just got a lot crazier – Now Rhodes is saying that she did not authorize Taitz to file the latest motion before the court. That is a BIG no-no for an attorney to act against her client's wishes.

The birthers, the tea baggers, the screamers, and the deathers continued extreme minority presence will become tiresome to mainstream America, if it has not already done so. To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true, if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess they were in on it. In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”. I heard that she now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC).

Perhaps I can assist you in your goal to “Find Out” about mark. I am Christin Harris Oldewurtel…His daughter. My father is a Standford Alumni Graduate and University of Long Beach Graduate and is highly educated. He is a Commercial Real Estate and Property Developer & Investor. My father is on the side a writer and investigator. As of late however he has been spending most of his time writing about and investigating the government & Politics, to which I assist hime. I am a paralegal and Law Student and a Fathers Rights Advocate. My dad is not a paid employee of the Glen Beck Show or Fox News. However, he is does do what he does as a freelance, but for the American People. My dad has nothing to gain by any of this other than His country back and helping the American People have a voice. (All of which i.e. Tea Party Rally's etc., he funds on his own.)
Now, as for you calling my dad…Let me tell you this…When I, or my brothers call my dad, he is in a constant state of stress and rushing!!!! He never slows down, always has someone on the other line, or has to get this “last” email out and usual doesnt talk for more than a second or two. That day 9/12 at the rally, my dad just spent several hours (with my husband Jeff) setting up stages, booths, drinks, food, accomodating to the guest speakers, and not to mention spending hours inbetween listeng to hundres and hundreds of patriots, venting about whats wrong with this country and how upset they are. My dad, and the committee, that day agreed that they would not speak, and just let the guests or Patriots speak, but my dad was introduced anyway and decided to make a quick address and thank you. When he mentioned the Glen Beck Show, he was just in a conversation before coming up to the podeum, regarding NONE of the media except for small local individuals, being there. He was still trying to get back in touch with Stu to talk about what was happening in that moment. My dad is CONSTANTLY in communication with people like that to give them what he can regarding what the American People are doing and why.
He self funds everything he does, he isn't running for office (at least not yet or that I know of : ) ) and honestley cares about what is happening today in this nation. He is a good man, a Christian and has always helped others. If you have any questions, you can contact me at anytime if you wish. I am going to be working very closley with my dad from Arizona and assisting him with helping Americans acheive their need to speak out and to support our people.
Sincerely,
Christin L. Harris Oldewurtel

It is because HE WAS NOT BORN HERE IN THE US. Thant is the honest to God truth. My dad, Marc Harris, has attended several of the Lawsuit hearings regarding this issue, and the government attorney keep trying to BLOCK the citizens from the country where he was born from testifying. THere was a woman from the hospital where he was born, coming to testify and bring documentation. My dad has been in the court room and heard and seen the plays from the governments side, and WOW do they have something to hide!!!

These prospective witnesses aren't being prevented from speaking to the media or blogs, so if they had a viable story to tell, we'd know about them by now from WND.

And actually, it is Orly Taitz who introduces my dad as a reporter from the Glen Beck show…And Im sure her and her family are rich and have a nice house, because, she went to Law School and is a well respected attorney…ATTORNEY's make money by winning cases, lots of money…SO WHAT! And yes, they lived in Isreal, they had to be in the military. THEY are here now, and respect this country, they had to take an OATH, and are fighting for what they beleive to be right..

On what planet is Orly Taitz a respected Attorney?
Comment posted September 20, 2009 @ 4:58 pm
I agree. What is he hiding? Why is he hiding?
The questions won’t go away until obama releases his hidden records. All he has to do is make the following official public statement,
“I Barack Obama authorize the State of Hawaii to release and make public all of my records on file.”
That's it. Issue over. But he won't because he's a fraud!! Obama knows that millions of citizens want to see it yet he continues to hide it. What and why is he hiding?
And maybe more disturbing is why don't BHO's supporters want to know the whole truth, especially since there's a reward that continues to be increased (currently $25 million) for proof that Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States? The answer is that Obama’s very own supporters also know he’s a fraud but choose to overlook it for political agenda reasons!
Link to a current lawsuit. . .(very thorough).

americanfront,
That you are related to someone in the article just puts your comment at zero.
Taitz and Beck are rabble-rousers. Your country hasn't gone anywhere, it hasn't changed. There isn't any “shadow government” or “Socialist takeover.” Beck is MAKING 1984 come true by spouting the nonsense he is hawking to those more impressionable among us. I respect you for defending your Dad, but not the trash he works for.
By the way, if you are going to use that moniker, CAPITALIZE the “A” in America. Have respect for the country you say you defend.
Comment posted September 21, 2009 @ 1:58 am
Ha, that is so sad you really truely believe that and obviously are to naive or you deliberatly blind yourself. The “a”, isn't capitalized because, the screen name is also, my contact EMAIL address, where NO capitals are permitted. Obviously you are from the left, and I have nothing to say back to you, because it isn't even worth my time or a response, and no change could come from it.

Obviously this one. Someone below posted about her having money and a nice home. Well, attorneys that win cases, make money, LOTS of money. And certainly for our Unites States military personal so hire her, it mush show something of her ability, credibility. I dont know her personally, and only know what I have seen on this video and read from several of the actual plaintiffs….

Funny, I see all kinds of capitals, here. You're the naive one, deary. I post anyway, because you will look in to see, I know you will.
Nothing would come of it, because you and your ilk cannot see reality. Your god Beck has you in his grip. I pity you.

We are all adults here, and as adults we know there are consequences for are actions, so if you do not agree with his policies, you can a) do nothing, b) support him, c) not support him, d) protest and picket, its your choice, live the dream! As for Orly Taitz, to this point she has not been successful because she does not have any proof, documentation supporting her claims except her wild rants. I would not bet the farm on this one. She has a mail-order-degree get someone with real credentials (Harvard, Yale Law School) not a Russian immigrant with dual US/ Israel citizenship (where are her allegiances?). Have you even thought of who is paying for all her travel, or are you telling me she independently wealthy? Sorry she has no juice because she does not have any proof, documentation supporting her claims except her wild rants. That might work in “Fake News” but not in a Court of the United States.

Paul,
Yes, we are. Unfortunately, those who prescribe to this nonsense do not accept the truth, even when it is staring them in the face. Trying to be rational to these people just doesn't work. They have accepted the incoherent ramblings of a couple of mental defectives who can find nothing more constructive to do than to cast aspersions on our legally and duly elected President, as truth.
The abject refusal to accept Barack Obama as President of the United States just underscores the need for HUMOR!
Personally, I rather prefer humor to trying to disprove their nonsense (which is easy, they just don't want to hear it). They are toilers, plain and simple. They should be treated as such. Wait! I sense another nutcase wanting to reply!
Here we go again!

Very interesting “Hatethehaters”, Nice name too…”HATE”, hate is not something I, Christin, am accustomed to. So, I doubt I know you, and am assuming you must have some sort of leftisit agenda her, because, my husband Jeff, has NEVER been to jail or prison. Aren't skin heads supposed to shave their heads, my head is not shaved sir or madam. So, I am sorry to burst your bubble, but you are mistaken. How about not hiding behind the screen name. I have been open and honest about who I am, my contact information and where I stand, so why don't you reveal your mysterious self if you know me, than lets clarify for the readers out there on the web, how you know me, where your “information” came from and set the facts on the table. I am used to having to work with individules such as yourself, so your comments don't bother or alter the past I'm on. Why don't you Google my name and read for yourself the charitable work Ive done to help Fathers, and the movement I started Advocating For Dads? I suppose in your eyes all of that aAND my education is a big FARS for a secret cover right?! Well, anyhow why dont you email me in private if you'd prefer…. chrissyoldewurtel@yahoo.com….Gooday…

The last thing I will say to you, Mr./Ms. Hater,Hatefull, I would think that the people would really like to see where you have gotten the idea me, or my husband are “skinheads”, and where my husbands “hate crime” as you call it, happened, where the court charges are. Accusing someone of that, and slander, libel, etc., is something YOU however can be charged with.
I will say, that we are both Christian, have 4 children, and believe in the Constitution. So again, feel free to use the internet and find us all your “proof”…I can tell you now though, you won't be able, because there is nothing. People like you, from the left, have nothing better to do, and the left is CONSTANTLY accusing EVERYONE of being racisist and bad people. That is politics for you So, I get it. Like I said before, doesn't effect where I'm headed. You could tell people I really am an alien and am here to turn the whole planet into conservatives, I really don't care. Enjoy….

The Epi Leather, shiny palladium hardware, rolled leather handles with ring attachments, and Louis Vuitton Canvas engraved padlock on the side of the bag make this handbag truly standout. Instantly, I fell in love with the balenciaga bags Speedy in black! It was gorgeous, sophisticated and I thought it would lovely in my collection. I absolutely loved the Speedy Cube, but due to the ultra high price I turned to the Epi collection for a more affordable take on a black louis vuitton belts handbag. At the moment, I have four different louis vuitton clutches in my collection going on a 5th in two weeks and I thought it was quite senseless to even think to getting lousi vuitton Speedy 30. So I change to search for a black Jimmy Choo clutches I came across the Louis Vuitton Leather Lockit and it was love at first sight! I have been eager to own a Louis Vuitton store Outlet in black for some time now. If the Catier bags doesnt interest you in black, it also is available in Cassis, Ivoire, and Red. My personal favorite is the black, and I just may add the Louis Vuitton discounts Epi Leather Lockit to my current wish collection. By the way, if you think the price is high, you can visit our online store to choose some Louis Vuitton multicolor for you. I change to search for MiuMiu tote I came across the Louis Vuitton Speedy handbag. Epi Leather Lockit and it was love at first sight! The Louis Vuitton Epi MiuMiu online have always been a favorite to me, and when I saw that the lockit came in Epi Leather also I was took. For some odd reason,cheap lv handbags sale, I have never taken notice of this particular lockit handbag before and I must say it is stunning.The features of this handbag are absolutely beautiful.
