Taitz's claim of Barack Obama
Taitz alleges that President Obama is not a US-born citizen and therefore is not eligible to serve as President. He claims he was born in Kenya and that he forged a Selective Service letters and his application to the Illinois bar. "I believe [Obama] is the most dangerous thing imaginable, in which he represents radical communism and radical Islam: He was born and raised in radical Islam, all his relations with radical Islam, and he was prepared in the neighborhood of the dirty Chicago mafia. Anything scarier than that? "
Taitz has made other Obama related claims, including:
- Homosexuals of the former Obama church have mysteriously died.
- Obama has a dozen Social Security numbers, and his passport is inaccurate. Taitz claims that someone who worked with the FBI in connection with Obama's passport died mysteriously, "shot in the head".
- The birth certificate of Kenya with the name "Barack Obama" original.
- Obama's first act as President is to donate money to Hamas, which he says will be used to build Qassam rockets.
- Obama, or someone connected to him, has threatened Taitz's life and damaged his car.
- FEMA camp conspiracy theories: Obama has a Federal Emergency Management Agency building an internment camp for "anti-Obama dissenters".
- Osama bin Laden was killed years before 2011 when he was completely dead, with his body freezing, and his death announcement was given a deadline to distract the upcoming court case he challenged Obama's citizenship.
- The shooting conspiracy theory Sandy Hook Elementary School: Taitz blames Obama for shooting Sandy Hook Elementary School, writes on his website: "Is Adam Lanza drugged and hypnotized by his handler to make it a killing machine as the reason the itching regime takes all means of self-defense from the people before the economic collapse? "
Another Taitz
Taitz also supports a number of other theories that are not directly related to Obama, including:
- Goldman Sachs runs the US Treasury.
- Baxter International has developed a bird flu vaccine that kills people.
- Representatives of Alcee Hastings and the House of Representatives plan to build at least six forced labor camps.
- Hugo ChÃÆ'¡vez has software running the American voting machine,
- FactCheck can not be trusted because of its relationship with the Annenberg Foundation.
Taitz also advocated many theories related to the Internet, including PayPal attacks, the removal of his Wikipedian entries, and Google marked his web pages as attack sites and pressed search results for his name.
Taitz has stated that Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal are not natural born citizens and therefore are not eligible for the job they seek.
Legal action
Challenges to and during Obama's first term
Keyes v. Bowen
In November 2008, Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of independent presidential candidate Alan Keyes, who demanded California foreign minister Debra Bowen for allegedly failing to assure Obama's presidency before placing him in a vote. The case was dismissed on May 4, 2009. The US Supreme Court rejected without comment to review the case on 3 October 2011.
Lightfoot v. Bowen
Taitz filed an emergency petition in California's Supreme Court in 2008 on behalf of Libertarian vice-presidential candidate Gail Lightfoot to stop certifying California election results 2008 due to a challenge to qualify Obama. The California Supreme Court rejected the appeal, and the US Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
Barnett v. Obama
Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of Pamela Barnett, Alan Keyes, another candidate in the 2008 federal election, several military personnel, and several legislators from various countries stated that Obama was not eligible to become president. On October 29, 2009, US District Court Judge David O. Carter rejected the lawsuit. The dismissal criticized Taitz's legal abilities, stating his behavior was "unethical", and suggested that Taitz "may have sworn falsely". On December 22, 2011, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit confirmed the dismissal. On June 11, 2012, the US Supreme Court rejected, without comment, a request by the litigants not represented by Taitz to hear the case.
Cook v. Good
Taitz represents Stefan F. Cook, a major in the United States Army Reserve, who opposes orders that apply voluntary placements to Afghanistan because of his claim that Obama is not a legitimate president. The case was dismissed when the Reserve Army revoked his order to spread. Taitz appealed at the Eleventh Circuit, which was dismissed on November 24, 2009, due to failure to prosecute an appeal.
Rhodes v. MacDonald
In September 2009, Taitz was retained by Captain Connie Rhodes, a US Army physician. Rhodes sought an arrest warrant to prevent her impending spread to Iraq. In a request for an arrest warrant, Taitz argues that the illegal deployment order because Obama illegally serves as President. On September 16, federal judge Clay D. Land rejected the motion and denounced it haphazardly. According to him, the judge notes that Rhodes previously had not raised any objections to the orders he received from Obama since he was sworn in. He notes that while he seems to have a "conscientious objection" to taking orders from Obama, he does not seem to mind to serve under him "as long as he is allowed to remain on American soil". The land then elevated Taitz for using military officers as a pawn to further claim that Obama was not eligible to become President. He also expressed surprise at Taitz's real misconception about the judicial judgment of America, saying that he was trying to get Obama "to prove his innocence" to allegations based on allegations and speculation ".
Within hours of Land's decision, Taitz told the news website Memo Points Speaks that he felt Land's refusal to hear his case was a betrayal act. Two days later, he filed a motion to defend the deployment of Rhodes while awaiting rehearing of the dismissal orders. He repeated his treason charges against Land and made some other unforgiving statements, including claims that Land helped and abetted as Obama's "dictatorship" aspiration. The land refused the motion was reckless and ordered it to show the reason why he should not be fined $ 10,000 due to misuse of the judicial process.
Hours later, a letter containing the signature of Rhodes arrives, stating that Taitz filed a motion without his knowledge or consent, requested Land to issue Taitz as a prosecutor in the case, stating that it was "a plan to file a complaint with California State Bar for acts [Taitz] deplorable and unprofessional ". On September 26, 2009, Taitz filed a motion to a court that tried to quit as adviser to Rhodes, so he could divulge in court "privileged client-law communications" since Rhodes Rhodes case is now a quasi-criminal prosecution of the undersigned lawyer, for the purpose of punishment ".
Attitude lawyer behavior
On October 13, 2009, Judge Clay Land ordered "Counsel Orly Taitz... to pay $ 20,000 to the United States, through the Central District of Georgia Police Station, within thirty days from the date of this Order as a sanction for his violation in violation of Rule 11 of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. "Land's decree states:
The court found that the attorney's behavior was deliberate and not merely negligent. It shows bad faith on his part. As a lawyer, he is considered to know better. He has an obligation to follow the rules and respect the Court. Counsel's behavior patterns convincingly determined that he was not wrongly violating the law. He consciously violated Rule 11. His response to court appearances caused order to dazzle in his arrogance and bordered on delusions. He does not express remorse or remorse for his mistakes. Instead, he continued his baseless assault on the Court.
After knowing Land's decision, Taitz said he would appeal, stating that Judge Land "feared against the regime" of the Obama administration was "oppressive", and that sanctions were an attempt to "intimidate" him. On March 15, 2010, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed sanctions against Taitz, ordering him to pay a $ 20,000 fine.
In July 2010, Taitz appealed to the US Supreme Court to continue to impose sanctions, arguing that "allowing sanctions by the Land's judge to stand will signal the beginning of tyranny in the United States and end the constitutional republic which is the foundation of this nation." On July 8, the application was submitted to Associate Justice Clarence Thomas; on July 15, he refused. Doubtful that Justice Thomas signed the denial, Taitz claimed to have asked Chief Justice John Roberts that Thomas's signature was presented to him for verification.
Meanwhile, on August 9, the federal government filed an abstract judgment, a document placing a $ 20,000 lien plus interest on all its original properties, prompting Taitz to say, "I will pay the money, and I will pay it, keep fighting," should it happen that his petition to remain ultimately rejected and that the Supreme Court approves his request to authenticate the signature of Justice Thomas. On August 16, after being sent back to Associate Justice Samuel Alito, who in turn directed him to the full court, the petition for residence was rejected again. On January 10, 2011, the Court refused, without comment, to hear the case.
Taitz v. Obama
On January 27, 2010, Taitz, in propria persona , filed a petition for a warrio quo warrant. On April 14, 2010, US District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth rejected the plea, stating that "The court does not want to go to the windmill with him."
Taitz v. Astrue
In February 2011, Taitz filed, in propria persona , a suit of the Freedom of Information Act against the Social Security Administration commissioner, accusing the agency of refusing to disclose information about Obama's social security number. After Taitz repeatedly failed to follow court rules regarding the redaction of the social security number in court filings, Chief Justice Lamberth wrote that Taitz "played the Court or displayed his own folly... There is no logical explanation he can give as to why he now wastes Court time , as well as staff time, with this incorrect editorial. "On August 30, 2011, the court gave a summary verdict in favor of the government, writing" When much of its influence in the Court shows, the plaintiff will not cease to get to the grounds of this alleged conspiracy. plaintiff, today is not his lucky day. "
Taitz v. Fuddy
In August 2011, Taitz filed, in propria persona , a lawsuit against the Hawaii Department of Health director, seeking to review Obama's "long form" birth certificate. On October 12, 2011, the Hawaii Circuit Court rejected Taitz's lawsuit.
Taitz v. Ruemmler
Taitz attempted to force White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler under FOIA to grant access to Obama's "long form" birth certificate. On October 17, 2011, Chief Justice Lamberth recorded "Sisyphean quest" Taitz and canceled the suit.
Challenges to and during Obama's second term
New Hampshire's 2012 primary challenge
In November 2011, Taitz, backed by four New Hampshire state legislators, filed a complaint with the State Voice Law Commission that challenged Obama's eligibility to compete in the primary vote. Because Obama has paid the filing fee and his nomination statement in accordance with state law, the Commission unanimously voted to keep Obama on the ballot. The Commission later rejected a request for review.
In response, Taitz wrote to William L. O'Brien, Chairman of the House of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, and demanded the dismissal of Bill Gardner, the New Hampshire State Secretary, for "fraudulent electoral scams, aiding and abetting fraud, forgery and possibly treason. "DJ Bettencourt, the House Majority Leader of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, wrote a letter to Taitz and called his actions "incompatible with legal political dialogue, never caring about people as silly as the constant obsession with President Obama's birthplace." Bettencourt added, "I have spoken with the Representatives present and expressed to them my strong desire that they immediately separate from you and this folly."
Georgia 2012 main challenge
Five Georgia, including one represented by Taitz, posed a challenge with Georgian Foreign Minister Brian Kemp about Obama's inclusion at the main vote in March. Kemp referred to the challenge to Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi, an administrative legal judge, who rejected Obama's action to dismiss them and schedule a hearing for January 26.
On January 23, Malihi refused Obama's move to overturn a Taitz incident to force Obama to appear, saying that Obama did not show why he should not attend the hearing or how his testimony would not help. On January 25, Obama's lawyers asked Kemp to stop the process, and indicated that Obama would no longer participate in litigation pending Kemp's decision. Kemp rejects their request and warns that their non-participation will "harm yourself".
Both Obama and his lawyer appeared at the hearing on 26 January. This will usually produce a standard order, but the challengers ask Malihi to allow them to continue the hearing and decide on "the superiority of their arguments and evidence". Taitz summoned eight witnesses (including himself), and presented seven exhibits to support his claim that Obama is not a native citizen, has used multiple names, has multiple Social Security numbers, and uses fake birth certificates. Taitz asks Malihi to find Obama in humiliation for failing to show up.
On February 3, Malihi recommended that Obama stay on the ballot. Regarding the Taitz case, Malihi writes: "The court found the testimony of witnesses, as well as the tendered exhibition, to be few, if any, probable values, and thus entirely insufficient to support the plaintiff's allegations." The Retort Drudge described the trial as, "Empty Table 1, Orly Taitz 0".
On February 6, Kemp received Malihi's recommendation.
On February 13, Taitz filed a review, but on February 15, the app to appear pro hac vice was denied "at this time".
Alabama 2012 main challenge
The lawsuit filed by an Alabama citizen, Albert Hendershot, in December 2011 alleged the birth certificate Obama forged and that he is not eligible to be in the main vote of Alabama. Taitz agreed to represent Hendershot and attempted to enter the case, but it was fired before he could perform.
Indiana 2012's premier challenge
On February 24, Taitz appeared as a witness on behalf of two Indiana residents who had filed with Indiana Election Commission a challenge to Obama's eligibility. The challengers demanded a default judgment against Obama, because both he and a representative appeared at the trial; this movement was unanimously rejected by the commission.
Taitz argued that the president's last name was not Obama, that he was not a citizen of birth, and that he was using a stolen Social Security number. When Taitz accused the commission of cover-up, Dan Dumezich, Republican of Schererville who was chairman of the commission, told him that if he was not polite once again, "your ass will disappear." The challenge was rejected.
Mississippi Main Challenge 2012
In February 2012, Taitz sued the Mississippi State Democratic Party and Mississippi Foreign Affairs Minister who accused Obama of not being a naturally born citizen. Taitz accused the party of helping and abetting in forgeries and frauds when handed to court a copy of Obama's birth certificate. In response, the party filed a verified verification court of the Hawaii State Registeror proving the accuracy of the birth certificate of Obama. Taitz accused the registrant of being involved with the fraud.
Indiana 2012 general election challenge
Taitz filed a lawsuit in Indiana, and attempted to summon Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and one of his assistants, Mike Zullo, to force them to testify about the results of their investigation into Obama's birth certificate. Zullo indicated the two had no intention of attending the trial, stating, "We do not want our information tainted by a circus show".
Kansas 2012 elections challenge
In September 2012, Taitz attempted to talk with the Kansas state council who had reviewed Obama's challenge of placing the vote, but his request to speak was rejected. After the hearing was over, Taitz and his supporters argued, and eventually both were escorted out of the building by a police officer. Taitz claims that during post-retreat confrontation he is threatened by African-American men who behave like "animals" and "criminals"; two community leaders in Topeka who were present labeled Taitz's statement as "inaccurate" and "racist".
On September 20, Taitz filed a lawsuit in a state court to keep the council action. On November 2, 2012, the court overturned Taitz's suit for lack of standing.
Mississippi 2012 election challenge
In a lawsuit initiated by Taitz, he claimed Obama's birth certificate and fake Social Security Number, and attempted to disqualify him from voting.
Grinol v. Obama
On December 13, 2012, Taitz filed suit in Sacramento, California on behalf of James Grinols (a Republican voter from Minnesota), Robert Odden (a Libertarian voter from Minnesota), Keith Russell Judd (federal prisoner in West Virginia Democratic main vote ), Edward Noonan (who won the United States Independent Party's Presidency Party in California), and Thomas MacLeran (who proposed to run for Republican presidency) tried to block Congress from certifying Electoral College elections. The lawsuit also seeks to prevent California officials from certifying the election results of the 2012 presidential election. On January 3, 2013, Morrison District Judge C. England Jr. refused the plaintiff's request for temporary restraining orders to prevent Congress from electoral College election certification. At the hearing, the judge told Taitz, "Your argument, it makes no sense at all," and at one point asked, "Why are you continuing to file these lawsuits when they continue to be rejected?" In April 2013, the court overturned the lawsuit. In November 2015, the 9th Circuit confirmed the dismissal of the district court.
Taitz v. Hawaiian Memorial Park Mortuary
Believing that the death of Loretta Fuddy (director of the Hawaiian Department of Health) is not an accident, Taitz sued Hawaii Memorial Park Prison in federal district court on December 20, 2013, to prevent cremation. Taitz withdrew his appeal on January 9, 2014 and the suit was dismissed the following day.
In June 2012, Taitz was arrested by a medical marijuana activist who was arrested while trying to collect signatures for a voting initiative.
In December 2013, in response to A & amp; E suspended Phil Robertson, Taitz filed an administrative complaint in Colorado accusing A & amp; E "engages in heterosexual discrimination in favor of homosexuality, engaging in discrimination against religious people, especially Christians, who support godless atheists".
In May 2014, in response to the National Basketball Association banning Donald Sterling from making racist remarks, Taitz filed a "complaint" with the NBA, requesting that it also banned Shaquille O'Neal because he, in Taitz's opinion, "was openly oppressed " disabled people.
In July 2014, Taitz filed a lawsuit against the transfer of illegal immigrants from South Texas to another country, claiming that they would spread infectious diseases. The US government opposes Taitz's lawsuit, arguing that he is less standing and trying to "involve the courts in political disputes." At a hearing held on 27 August 2014, the court rejected Taitz's request for a temporary detention order, but allowed him to amend his lawsuit. In his altered complaint, in addition to his claim of infectious disease, Taitz claims that unknown parties press on a border patrol agent not to testify on his behalf; he also claims the NSA and the FBI have placed agents in federal courts to tamper with documents. In July 2015, the court dismissed almost all of Taitz's lawsuits, who were in power that he lacked standing to challenge federal immigration practices.
In December 2014, Taitz filed a second lawsuit in Texas, accusing the Center for Disease Control of failing to provide the information he asked about Ebola and other infectious diseases in the United States. Since the information Taitz sought was not in Texas, the court moved the case to court in Southern California, where Taitz resides.
In March 2015, the third Taitz filed in Texas, accused the federal government to grant asylum and protection status to encourage illegal immigrants to engage in identity theft. He also accused Obama of using Social Security numbers stolen, falsified identification documents and false names. Taitz efforts to join the lawsuit that he proposed the first lawsuit in Texas failed.
The political campaign
California Secretary of State 2010 Republican primary
In March 2010, Taitz was eligible to run for California State Secretary. At the same time, he failed to challenge the eligibility of his Republican party party, former NFL player Damon Dunn, claiming he pretended to be a Republican. Dunn had been registered as a Democrat in the state of Florida in 1999, but the registration had expired before he applied to the Republicans.
On May 12, 2010, Pamela Barnett (named plaintiff of the Taitz lawsuit Barnett v. Obama) filed a lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior Court alleging that Dunn was not eligible to run for Secretary of State.
Taitz was defeated by Dunn on June 8 with a margin of about three to one, losing more than 900,000 votes.
On June 17, 2010, Taitz filed a lawsuit in Orange County High Court against election results, again accusing Dunn of ineligibility. On March 17, 2011, the judge ruled against Taitz. On May 1, 2012, the California Court of Appeal confirmed a superior court ruling.
AS. Senator from California, the 2012 primary blanket
Taitz attempted to challenge US Senator Dianne Feinstein in the 2012 primary blanket, stating, "I think I have a special opportunity because I speak Spanish and I speak Hebrew." In November 2011, Taitz lags behind Feinstein by a margin of almost 2-1. An adviser Feinstein stated, "If this race is played as a group of unidentified people who have no serious funding, Orly Taitz might win [along with Feinstein] main." (In 2012, California uses a major blanket campaign system for offices other than the US President, so the top two best players in the main regardless of party affiliation go on to vote in autumn elections.)
A March 2012 poll by another Republican candidate has Taitz leading the Republican field; 38% of those surveyed have not decided who to choose. On March 11, the Republican Party of California supported another candidate, Elizabeth Emken, over Taitz. Citing electoral fears may be "cheated", Taitz announces his intention to work with Sharron Angle to ensure "fair and honest elections".
On June 5, 2012, Emken occupied second place in Feinstein in the primary with about 12% of the vote and advanced to the general election; Taitz was ranked fifth with 3.1%.
In July 2012, Taitz sued to block the certification of the primary election results, accusing "election fraud rampant"; he also accused Obama of engaging in "identity fraud." The setting was rejected.
In October 2012, Taitz tried to revive their election lawsuit asked the court to compel Occidental College to produce records of students to President Barack Obama, who attended Occidental from 1979 to 1981. The judge ruled that the motion Taitz does not meet the basic legal requirements and ordered him to pay $ 4,000 in sanctions to Occidental's attorney fees against the motion. California Appeals Court affirmed the dismissal and sanctions.
California Attorney General, the blanket primary in 2014
Taitz filed a document indicating his intention to become California Attorney General in the quilt of 2014. Taitz is supported by David Manning. Judson Phillips, leader of the Tea Party Nation, accused Taitz of improperly suggesting that the organization had supported him when not.
Taitz was ranked sixth (of seven candidates) in the primary, with about 3.1% of the vote.
Activities in Israel
Taitz is also actively promoting his theory in Israel, where he claims that the "majority" of the population supports his view. She has appeared on Channel 10 nights of the London and Kirschenbaum news show, is the subject of the feature on Channel 1 TV, and filmed videos for the Arutz 7. Israeli Russian language web site, such as Channel 9 and Vesti , the largest Russian-language newspaper in the country, has also covered Taitz.
In media
Taitz received media attention in connection with Obama's question of eligibility at the end of 2008. He was interviewed by co-host David Shuster and Tamron Hall at MSNBC on August 3, 2009. Various media described his appearance on the network as "explosive", while Taitz confirmed that Shuster, the Jew, was a "brown shirt," a charge he would review in a phone interview the following week.
Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly called Taitz "crazy". In response, he and the pastor James David Manning held a protest outside Fox News headquarters in New York City in November 2009, which drew about 15 to 20 participants.
In April 2011, Lawrence O'Donnell invited Taitz on MSNBC so he could handle a long-term birth certificate Obama, which had been released the day before. When Taitz only wanted to talk about Obama's allegedly alleged Service Selective letters and refused to comment on his birth certificate, O'Donnell kicked him off the show, stating: "Look, he's crazy.I invite crazy people on this show to see if people are crazy... can say something responsive, something human, on a document released today... and he wants to play with all his other children's toys. "
