They were whispering to themselves: we’re over-qualified to do our hack jobs but it pays really well.

Meet Cyndy Sheehan. She does not believe everything the US government says. To the Pollyanna world that makes her fit for the asylum: http://youtu.be/Dn1EXwjFOa0

Proset, well punned.

Here’s my take on this idiocy: http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2011/05/04/osama-bin-laden-is-dead-but-back-on-the-ranch-its-divorce-as-usual/

We do live in an idiocracy, after all.

Oh, you mean Al-Qaeda Incorporated?

You ARE gullible aren’t you?

Let me tell you what happened in this saga.

Around two years ago people were asking to see Barry’s birth certificate since rumours had it he was born in Kenya (which would disqualify him from his Presidency). Afer some time a digital version was released and the ‘birthers’ (as they came to be disparagingly called) demanded to see the original doscument.

This did not happen, until some days ago when the US government released a scanned copy of the original.

But there’s something very funny about this scan. If you open the PDF document with Adobe Illustrator you’ll see what looks like a digital forgery. Why? Because barring a sound explanation it seems to have been tampered with: it is multi-layered (like a photoshop job) and was not even been ‘flattened’ when saved (something a forgerer would not dream of doing unless he wants to be found out).

To add some fantasy to the fairytale, the forgery makes no sense whatsoever. For example, Barry’s mother’s signature is split on two layers. Download this document and open it with Adobe Illustrator and tell me if this is not a sick joke: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf

So unless there is a mysterious Adobe bug that splits into layers upon scanning there is only one explanation: they are pssing on ‘conspiracy theorists’ – a show of power, in a way, like saying: ‘Look, here it is, and it is layered and unflattened, and you can scream and shout till kingdom come for nothing will happen. That’s how powerful we are.’

This dinner speech reflects this pissing attitude.

As for Donald Trump – once a clown, always a clown. He rode the birther bandwagon only a couple of weeks ago and does not really figure at all. A useful idiot, I would say.

Funny that Barry should also mention Roswell in the same breath of a ‘faked moon landing’. Perhaps he should know that the FBI’s ‘The Vault’ website has been uploaded with some very weird stuff concerning Roswell – http://vault.fbi.gov/UFO – but that, of course, is another story altogether…

It’s a surreal world we live in, but do keep on clapping and laughing. Isn’t Barry a funny President? Even funnier than Bush II.
