Happy Birthday, Sweet 17


You've all read about the "Birther" brouhaha. All I can add is that no one seems to have learned anything from the Bush AWOL fiasco. No one except Barackobamun's handlers, that is. The whole birth certificate thing was a masterstroke- even Joseph Farah is back-peddling now

By now, you've probably seen the Birther lawyer's meltdown on MSNBC, which is fascinating in that this lawyer felt compelled to leave the country soon after circulating the alleged document.

Like everything else in the news these days, the whole issue gives me a major headache. But this alleged forgery caught my eye with the Feb 17 date down at the bottom. 

For her part, Tina Brown celebrated Barackobamun's birthdate with a 17 photo gallery. Becoming a habit with these media types.

  And lo and behold, the always dependable Yahoo headlines a story linking births to the magic number, adding a fluff piece identifying Guinevere Lopez with a Roman goddess. The 17 here is odd since parents are responsible for their children until age 18. 

 Oh, Chris, you say- more craziness. You're right. It's all a coincidence, I'm sure. But remember when I identified Blackwater as the symbolic resurrection of the Knights Templar, noting that they were called before Congress on the 700th anniversary of the Templar suppression? Check out this story:

The two declarations are each five pages long and contain a series of devastating allegations concerning Erik Prince and his network of companies, which now operate under the banner of Xe Services LLC. Among those leveled by Doe #2 is that Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe":

To that end, Mr. Prince intentionally deployed to Iraq certain men who shared his vision of Christian supremacy, knowing and wanting these men to take every available opportunity to murder Iraqis. Many of these men used call signs based on the Knights of the Templar, the warriors who fought the Crusades.

This all springs from an investigation into a massacre that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead.



UPDATE: Astronut points out that Olbermann is rocking the Barackobamun alien meme.
