This is a story about how the Democrats hired a Twitter-Thug to run their social-media campaign and to smear the Tea Party.

The evidence submitted demonstrates the systematic and deliberate provocation towards people in an attempt to elicit unfavorable responses after a series of malicious and vile attacks.

The idea was to antagonize, collect and present selected responses as proof of “extremism” within the Tea Party.

What you are about to see is the documented account of how this system was implemented, who these people are and who hired them.

Some of the collected material is vulgar and profane. Viewer discretion is advised.

There is a follow-up by Dana Loesch over at PJTV:

PJTV – This Week in Tea: Twitter Wars! – PJTV Specials

The video and original story was researched and covered by this group along with Undead Revolution (a college-based affiliated group), after one of our researchers appeared on the thug’s defamation “hit-list” and prompted the investigation.

I received this in my email this morning, requesting a clarification of my Dr. Bob Basso blog posts.  Apparently some bloggers decided to reprint the events taking place with regard to Dr. Basso’s audio taped interviews with Jerry Doyle and the Thomas Paine videos, and now some contradiction of sorts seems to have arisen.

 Rest assured, the contradictions aren’t with me, The Jerry Doyle Show, Jerry Doyle or ZAPEM.  Those reports are accurate and reflect only what was said by the man himself.  My response is therefore as follows to the comment:

“Update: Citizen Wells reports that Dr. Basso himself says the above was started by blogosphere rumor.

Isn’t it nice to know that the place that starts rumors is also the place that calls them such? -Phil”

First of all, I have no idea who these people are who took it upon themselves to reprint my articles without me knowing about it and then add their spin to it, and secondly, that’s not an update.  That’s a back-pedaling out of what Basso originally said. 

Since I’m the one who blogged that story that you guys reinvented all over the “blogosphere”, let me state that the interview credit goes strictly to Jerry Doyle, whom I communicated with prior to posting the audios as a matter of public information.

Don’t bother crediting ZAPEM (that merely consolidates news and portals people out more than in) and do not bother quoting me to boost your blog visits.  The interview was done by Jerry Doyle and we received permission to promote it from him while we waited to hear further news.  In fact, Jerry, a very nice guy by the way, wrote us back and said that he was working on getting a follow-up from Mr. Basso and to “hang tight”.  So we did.  While Jerry was busy with his work, we provided the details.  Simple as that.

I also love the way these people think nothing of reprinting or using material they didn’t do a lick of work on without even contacting those involved to say even “Hello”, and then turn around and try to discredit Jerry Doyle and anyone else who attempted to investigate.  Did anyone even bother to call Jerry and ask him his side before they decided to assume that the clarification was even true?  Nope, they did not.

Instead, Dr. Basso was the one who chose to pick another venue, who didn’t investigate, and then somehow air a claim that the “invitation” wording was a rumor spread about on the internet.  Pardon me, but the direct quotes speak for themselves and they’re on audio tape.  The use of the word “invitation” comes from Mr. Basso directly, not the internet.  The use of the word “summoned” comes directly from WorldNetDaily.com Inc., an independent news company.

So let’s review what was said to Jerry Doyle, shall we?  On 3-27-09, Mr. Basso stated the following to Jerry Doyle during a radio broadcast interview:

“I have no intention of attacking the president of the United States.  I respect the office.  And until this thing clarifies itself… because there’s an awful lot of misinformation out there.  Until we get any kind of response from the White House that this is a valid invitation, or it’s not some kind of a scheme or some kind of roundabout way put forth on the internet or by calling our offices and not really representing Mr. Obama.  I am not for or against any political party.  But I do respect the office of the presidency.

And as I told you when we first spoke, if I hear anything when this thing clarifies, if in fact it is an honest and truthful and transparent invitation, … and I want to thank all those people and apologize for not answering you necessarily on email or otherwise, but we are being overwhelmed with requests and with good wishes, and we appreciate that…  But I absolutely guarantee you, if in fact this is true, I am not going to be intimidated and I am not going to the White House or to Congress or anywhere else on a bended knee.  I am their employeer, as all of your listeners are.  And I will go there not with that smugness, but with that understanding of our democracy.”

Those are exact quotes taken from the audio.  So, I fail to see how this is the interpretation of the internet netizens, or even a rumor, as Mr. Basso now alleges.  The quotes speak for themselves and people derived what they did, using real “common sense“.

To now hear Mr. Basso claim that,

“This whole idea of the president of the United States summoning me to the White House is false.  Let me repeat that again and again.  It’s false.  It did not happen.  What happened was weeks ago, a month ago, I got a call from a blogger that said, ‘Is there any truth to the fact that President Obama has seen your video and is very upset about it and wants to talk to you?‘  And I said, ‘As far as I know, I have not received any comment from the White House.  No one has contacted me.’”

So now we see that the story has indeed, changed.  Not only that, but Dr. Basso never returned to The Jerry Doyle Show to follow it up.  Instead, we see a totally different claim being made in a totally different venue.  Also, if no one contacted Dr. Basso, then I’d certainly love to know who it was from “Congressional Security” in this video who Dr. Basso says contacted him to advise not to encourage people to put tea bags in envelopes and send them to Washington, D.C., as they were destroying them. 

Anyway, that’s certainly a far cry from the interview Dr. Basso gave to Jerry Doyle when he clearly implied that there was an invitation, per Dr. Basso’s own description on audio tape, including that someone was even calling his office.  Furthermore, the follow up interview with Jerry Doyle and Dr. Basso didn’t reveal anything that we’re hearing now.  Suspect?  Judge for yourself.  The only thing we were waiting on was the same clarification that Dr. Basso said he was waiting for.

Horrific “misunderstanding”, indeed.  No, it’s more like a total 180 if you ask me.  But it didn’t come from The Jerry Doyle Show and it didn’t come from ZAPEM who hosted the recordings.  I have no idea where World Net Daily, Inc. got their information from as we never talked to them.  Sorry to say, but the contradiction comes from Dr. Basso, himself.  Neither myself or ZAPEM made any claim as to what those tapes have to say.  We don’t have to.  They speak for themselves.

 What’s curious to me is why Dr. Basso didn’t do this clarification on The Jerry Doyle Show, who has been waiting anxiously to follow it up for their listeners.  He certainly had ample time and we were monitoring it for updates.  Instead, it was entertained in a completely different venue that seemed to have missed the point entirely of why myself and ZAPEM even bothered to report on it.

 Let me make this perfectly clear so all of you anonymous people in the blogosphere can quote me clearly.  I’m not doing this for ratings.  I couldn’t care less if you read my bloggings or not.  I would probably love nothing better than to stay out of politics completely, because all I’ve seen so far is cut-throat shenanigans.  I say what’s important to me and what I believe is important to those who think like me.  I DO have a dog in this race and it’s called “my country”.  I’m not making any apologies for that, my bloggings or cow-towing to people who think this is a “fun” game and taking score of some stupid popularity contest.  In fact, I’ll probably just rip you apart and make mince-meat out of you when pull another cowardly stunt like this again.

You might even want to even grow a pair and take it up with me direct.

Bob Basso as Thomas Paine

~~~

Thomas Paine wasted no time applauding the efforts of Americans nationwide in his latest video arriving two days after the Tax Day Tea Party events of April 15, 2009.

A born leader, you have to admire the gusto this man energizes his fellow Americans with from here all the way to Iraq. Beginning with a fervent appreciation for the turnout thus far, he directs the momentum to head the push towards Washington, D.C., where you can sit on the astroturf beyond Nancy and Barack’s windows and show them exactly how “artificial” the noise can resonate in their ears, up close and personal.

Basso ends with a solemn reflection of an American soldier’s letter, promising to stand with the people.  It doesn’t get any better than that.

Here’s the latest video. As soon as we get a firm date, we’ll put it out there. Rumors going around right now are July 4th or September 12th. That should give this administration and Congress enough time to decide how much longer they’re going to ignore “We the people”.

YouTuber Dr. Bob Basso Summoned to White House to Discuss
“the disturbing nature of the videos“.

03.27.09 UPDATE: Bob Basso Sends His R.S.V.P.
To We The People Not The White House

After Dr. Bob Basso spoke with The Jerry Doyle Show apologizing for not being able to get through for his scheduled broadcast on 03.25.09, there was much speculation that a White House visit would occur the following day. I hope no one was holding their breath.

While Thomas Paine awaits a clear clarification of the White House invitation, Nerobama plays a fiddle and Rome is still in flames. Not to be hoaxed, bamboozled or otherwise duped in games, Dr. Basso takes to the airwaves and sends his R.S.V.P. to “We The People” instead.

That’s right, you are cordially invited to get off your dead asses, stop waiting for an answer that’s never going to come, and million-man march on Washington.

“The fight is still on”, says Dr. Basso. “This [the invitation] is small potatoes compared to the fact that we’re losing our representative democracy.” And he has a lot of support, from as far away as our own military calling Dr. Basso from Afghanistan at all hours of the day and night… hundreds of phone calls and thousands of letters and emails daily.

“We need an EVENT”, Dr. Basso declares. “The Tea Parties have opened the door. Can you imagine looking out your window in Congress or the President of the United States out of your second-story window on Pennsylvania Avenue and seeing two, three, four MILLION Americans shouting, ‘We’re taking back our country. Listen to us or else!’”

Maybe the real question is, how many of you are actually going to listen to Dr. Basso and not just the entertaining YouTube videos and radio broadcasts? Spring is here and it’s time for a new beginning.

* 03.27.09 UPDATE: Bob Basso Sends His R.S.V.P.
To We The People Not The White House

The Jerry Doyle Show Discusses Obama’s Attempt To Intimidate Dr. Bob Basso After Revolution Video Is Released On YouTube *

 Dr. Bob Basso, the guy that made the Youtube videos where he dresses up as Thomas Paine, coming back from the past to warn Americans about their country, received a call from yours truly, Barack Obama.

Apparently Obama was pissed off that Dr. Basso’s videos were gaining speed and he “invited him to the White House to discuss the nature of these disturbing videos”.

We put the latest video in question up on the main page at http://grou.ps/zapem along with a 10min. audio from the Jerry Doyle show that explains matters further. Jerry Doyle has been interviewing Dr. Basso on a regular basis. Not only was Dr. Basso warned by Obama not to go public about the invitation, Jerry Doyle’s show also received a call from the administration warning them not to air it.

That didn’t deter either of them…. they immediately told everyone what was going on, putting a hitch in the giggy of Obama’s plans. Jerry Doyle believes that the warnings were made to give the Obama administration time to turn Dr. Basso into a rerun of Joe The Plumber.

Glen Beck is also covering this story as far as we know. WND did a short article on it. But the Doyle audio explains much more than either of the two. We refined it last night since podcasts of the show are pay-only.

Keep an eye on this story and spread it to your friends. There’s no good reason why Obama is inviting this man to the White House. Basso is calling for a march on Washington soon and he may just be the man to accomplish it!

How do we arrive at that conclusion? We take McCain’s ingrained, glib advice and “Look at the record, my friends“.

Doing just that, we find that back on February 28, 2008, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced a bill to the Senate for consideration.  That bill was known as S. 2678: Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act.   The bill was co-sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and Sen. Thomas Coburn (R-OK).

Bill S. 2678 attempted to change article II, section 1, clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States with reference to the requirements of being a “natural born citizen” and hence; the entitlement to run for President of the United States.  This bill met the same fate that similar attempts to change the Constitution have in the past.  Attempts such as The Natural Born Citizen Act were known to have failed and the text scrubbed from the internet, with only a shadow-cached copy left, that only the most curious public can find.

Sen. McCaskill, her co-sponsors, fellow colleagues and legal counsel, contend that the Constitution is ambiguous in article II, section 1 and requires clarification.  But does it?  According to the framers and such drafters as John Bingham, we find the definition to be quite clear:

I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen… . . – John Bingham in the United States House on March 9, 1866

From the days of James Madison to the present, the courts have held that the amendment process be justiciable in accordance with its constitutionality and not self-serving or political. But is that what happened here?  Again, we must go to the record.

Within only five short weeks after Senate Bill 2678 faded from the floor, we find Sen. Claire McCaskill back again, making another attempt with Senate Resolution 511.  On April 10, 2008, she introduced a secondary proposal in the form of a non-binding resolution, recognizing John McCain as a “natural born citizen” in defiance of the Constitution. Curiously, it contained the same identical co-sponsors, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

ABCNews.com reported:

“With questions – however serious – about whether Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is eligible to run for president since he was born outside U.S. borders on an American Naval base, Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. today introduced a non-binding resolution expressing the sense of the U.S. Senate that McCain qualifies as a “natural born Citizen,” as specified in the Constitution and eligible for the highest office in the land.

Co-sponsors include Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and Barack Obama, D-Illinois; Leahy said he anticipates it will pass unanimously.”

One has to wonder — what dire urgency could there possibly have been in persisting with trying to legislate a candidate into being a “natural born citizen”?  Certainly providing a birth certificate and reading the Constitution would be more than sufficient.  Why did these candidates and their wishful nominees go to such lengths in the Senate when obviously, they had more pressing matters to attend to?  And why were there two Senators co-sponsoring such an issue, twice, who were in direct competition with John McCain in the  2008 election?

One answer is that looking at John McCain’s long-form birth certificate reveals he was not a natural born citizen and Barack Obama hasn’t submitted his long-form at all.  John McCain was born in an “unincorporated territory”, held by the courts to be not part of the United States for constitutional purposes.  Barack Obama has submitted only a Certification of Live Birth, but Hawaii law will certify a live birth using that document for births that occurred even outside of the country.  Furthermore, Barack Obama’s father was Kenyan and never an American citizen.  Since the status of citizenship occurs at birth, this makes Barack Obama a citizen if born in Hawaii, but not a natural born citizen.  One must have two citizen parents, at the time of birth, and be born on U.S. soil, to be deemed a natural born citizen and be declared eligible for the presidency.  The Senate, for all their trouble, cannot legislate a person’s born status.  It happens at birth, according to the law.

While Senate Bill 2678 fell to the wayside, Senate Resolution 511 was passed on April 30, 2008 as a non-binding resolution. However, S.R. 511 is not a law, but rather, a unanimous opinion. Technically, it means absolutely nothing what they’ve written as it’s not a law, nor did the matter reach the House for review. It’s a stepping-stone in the larger scheme of things that haven’t happened yet; the push to change our Constitution.

World Net Daily reported on November 13, 2008:

More than a half-dozen legal challenges have been filed in federal and state courts demanding President-elect Barack Obama’s decertification from ballots or seeking to halt elector meetings, claiming he has failed to prove his U.S. citizenship status.

An Obama campaign spokeswoman told WND the complaints are unfounded.

“All I can tell you is that it is just pure garbage,” she said. “There have been several lawsuits, but they have been dismissed.”

Perhaps someone should have informed Obama’s spokeswoman that many of these cases have not been dismissed at all, rather they are mounting, and her statements are in fact, pure “garbage”.

Then perhaps someone may prompt an answer from the Obama spokespeople as to why they were entertaining the thought of fiddling with the United States Constitution back in February and April of THIS YEAR? Perhaps because it was in the best interest of Sen. Obama.

Then what of Sen. Claire McCaskill?  What possible interest could she have had in these proceedings and leading the charge with her proposals?  Was it a bonafide Constitutional issue of judicial importance, or rather a political one?

Digging further into the record we find that according to Wikki and subsequent footnotes therein:

“In January 2008, Claire McCaskill decided to endorse Senator Barack Obama in his campaign for the Democratic nomination for the presidential elections of 2008, making her one of the first senators to do so. She has been one of the most visible faces for his campaign.[14] McCaskill’s support was crucial to Obama’s narrow victory in the Missouri primary in February, 2008. She had been frequently mentioned as a possible vice presidential choice of Senator Obama in the 2008 run for the White House…”

So what we see is a definite political motive being dragged into the Senate for the purposes of legitimizing the 2008 candidates.  But if these candidates were legitimate already, there would obviously be no reason for these proceedings.

So political was the motive of McCaskill, even Missouri’s Governor, Matt Blunt revealed that Sen. McCaskill was involved in the “abusive use of Missouri Law Enforcement“.  This was dubbed as the “Truth Squad” during the election campaign by the media.  The Truth Squad was comprised of Missouri officials and attorneys who set up shop on the streets of Missouri and threatened the public with criminal penalties and lawsuits if they engaged in critical speech against Sen. Obama.  The Obama campaign also issued cease and desist letters to media station managers who carried advertisers who were unfriendly towards Barack Obama, namely, the NRA.  Citizen outrage prompted this response from Governor Blunt:

“Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.

What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.”

Considering these facts and the judicial record, there is every reason to believe that Sen. McCaskill had no interest in resolving Sen. McCain’s eligibility, but Sen. Obama’s long-term. She manipulated the Senate and then threatened the media and the public thereafter, politically motivated at the prospect of becoming Obama’s Vice-Presidential pick.  But it didn’t stop there.

Chairman Patrick J. Leahy entered into the Senate record a legal analysis of two high-powered attorneys hired by Sen. McCain – Theodore Olson and Laurence Tribe - both of whom are extremely politically active and biased, and attached that opinion to S.R. 511.

So controversial was that legal opinion, that it prompted a rebuttal by Professor Gabriel J. Chin of The University of Arizona, James E. Rogers College of Law, in a discussion paper #08-14 entitled, Why Senator John McCain Cannot Be President.  Professor Chin points out clearly where Tribe-Olson sought to draw out implied theories in the law, which in reality, are simply not there and in fact have been decided by the courts already, in opposition to the suggestions offered by Tribe-Olson.  Simply put, the attorneys hired by Sen. McCain attempt to fit the law into their agenda with contrived implications.  Professor Chin brings the law back into focus, requiring no implied theories.

Legalities aside, in anticipation of the feared “Fairness Doctrine”, the whole of the main stream media has since acquiesced to the intimidation tactics of the Obama campaign and paraded the non-binding resolution known as S.R. 511 to the public with unfactual foolishness.  S.R. 511 is neither a constitutional amendment nor legally binding in any way.  Yet the media caved to political pressure and reported it to the public as Chairman Leahy dictated, giving the illusion to the pubic that said resolution was binding to the 2008 election. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The public responded, initially by way of lawsuits contesting the eligiblity of not only John McCain, but Barack Obama and Roger Calero as well, citing them all, with equal disqualifying merit, as being constitutionally ineligible to run for President of the United States.  Later, netizens of the internet caught wind of the court actions and responded with their own explosion of blogs, forums, websites, chatrooms, emails, etc.  In an attempt to quell the discord, the main stream media offered personalities such as Thomas Goldstein which only served to infuriate the public further.  The public saw such maneuvers as deceitful and an attempt to embarrass the now educated public.

However, the greater proof is in the activity which originated in the Senate in early 2008 which was hidden from the public, that sought to change what our representatives knew to be unconstitutional from the start.  The public really needs to look no further than this activity, for it speaks to the heart of the deals that went on beyond the Senate doors.  Rather than trust the preservation model our founding forefathers wrote into our Constitution, these respresentatives, beholden of the public trust, saw fit to manipulate the clauses contained therein, for the sole benefit of their own political self-interests.

Perhaps our representatives, the United States Supreme Court and the main stream media would be interested in reflecting on these records and then start answering truthfully the questions which have so far been ignored.  The public has been promised transparency, but to date has only been dealt scoffing, deceitful rhetoric, if they choose to address it at all.

While the public has been patient and eduring, the questions remain and refuse to be dismissed.  We expect them to be answered, preferrably prior to January 20, 2009.

We the people, deserve an answer!
