Ad Astra

A Wandering Actor, I

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

After many long years of training, scene study and assorted false starts, I have found a coach who challenges me as an actor. He pulls things from deep inside me and pulls no punches in his assessments. I get the same from his associates. His name is John Pallotta. I’ve been at the John Pallotta Studio for a few weeks now, and not even the awesome coaches at the National Shakespeare Conservatory pulled out me what John, Gina and Robert have pulled out of me.I am always surprised and challenged there.

Check him out.

Thank you, John.

On your “own dime”? Really?

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

As most of my readers know, I have been more or less following the Adventures of Orly Taitz in Citizenshipland for a while. I’ve lurked her “blog” and today, I read something on her Senatorial campaign Facebook page that knocked me for a loop.
Here’s the screencap:

Yes, she really does say that SHE paid her own way in her “Quijotic” Quest to unseat the President. Yet a simple search on “orly taitz frequent flyer” (sans quotes) turns up a number of postings where she is thanking various “supporters” for their donations of miles, and posts where she’s asking for both frequent flyer AND hotel points.

On her own dime? I think not.
From her own blogsite:

If you can donate frequent flyer miles or can help with a stand by ticket, call me at 949-683-5411

Here she is asking for donations of Miles and Points. and, yet, it’s all on her “own dime”.

over a thousand people visit my web site every hour

Now I have a visit counter on my web site. Over a 1,000 people visit this website every hour. I need to raise $3,150 more to register on the ballot as a candidate for the U.S. Senate. If readers donate even a small amount, such as $5 or $3, it will help to raise this amount quickly.

Yesterday I flew to AZ to present the case for Social Security fraud committed by Obma to Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Between airfare, car rental, gasoline, copying of documents and so on, it was some $700 in one day. When more readers of this site donate small amounts, it helps to cover those fees and hopefully save some funds for future battles. I often get phone calls, letters and e-mails, where people are telling me that they are behind me and are praying for me, which is nice, but nice words and prayers do not pay for the airfare, car rental, court fees and so on.

Your donations and support is appreciated!

PS. Frequent flyer miles, hotel miles help. I, also, need tech support and clerical support from someone, who can actually come to my office and help at location. Remote control help does not work well. If you have experience with campaigns, let me know

Yes, this goes on and on. Asking her very aptly named ‘Supporters” to donate, donate, donate. She’s getting free labor from them as well, as the above posting shows. She’s not a fan of telecommuting, as she can’t watch them.

So, Orly, what would the FEC think of these donations? Did you file? And, before you decide to scrub those entries, I have them archived as PDFs in the cloud. Nothing is ever gone from the Internet.

and, then THIS gem:

“The negative aspect, is the fact, that this will be the fifth time I will be flying to HI to a hearing. It is depleting all the donations. I hate to ask, but donations and frequent flier miles will come very handy. This is a very tough fight. You know the resources, that might opponent has, but with your help we are moving along. Thank you for your support .
If you can, please be generous with your donation to help underwrite the expense of airfare, lodging, meals for Dr. Taitz and witnesses as she flies from her home in California to court hearings in Hawaii and Georgia. She’s at the tip of the sword on our behalf.
“Reminder! I need to fly a number of witnesses to trial in GA on the 26th. frequent flier miles and donations are badly needed.
“If you love your country, please help me fight this creeping tyranny and corruption. Donations no matter how small will help pay for airline and travel expenses.”

I have not changed a thing. This is grifting. Not one supporter asks her for an accounting, not one asks for the “witness” list – witnesses that never materialized, I believe.
I’m not muckracking. I’m just reporting on what I consider to be hanky-panky with people’s trust. Especially in light that no one really knows squat about her.

Now, Orly Taitz is a fraud. An incompetent lawyer who willfully ignores the orders and decisions of the Courts. As for you, Karen, well, you are more than welcome to comment here if you type in a reasonable manner, i.e., proper use of the Caps lock. Oh, and do not pray for me. You’re far too bitter and hate-filled. Oh, and turn off FOX

Orly Taitz, Free Speech for Me, AND for Thee

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

This morning I awoke to learn that the facebook group: Orly’s World had been deleted by facebook as “hate group” and what made us a “hate group”, why our Constitutional Right to mock Orly Taitz and her batshit birther seditionists. It seems on Facebook, you can call the President all sorts of pejoratives, threaten his life,  claim the Courts are corrupt and treasonous when they don’t agree with you, and call for outright sedition, yet, Facebook looks the other way.

The Supreme Court in 1988, sided with Hustler’s publisher, Larry Flynt in his right to ridicule public figures: http://articles.philly.com/1988-02-25/news/26241935_1_hustler-damage-awards-rehnquist
Issuing one of their most important defenses of a free press in recent years, the justices concluded that the Rev. Jerry Falwell could not recover $200,000 in damages awarded by a Roanoke, Va., jury for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The cause of the distress was an admittedly vulgar spoof in the Hustler magazine. It depicted Falwell, the founder of the Moral Majority and a famous crusader for morality, as a drunken hypocrite who lost his virginity to his mother in a Virginia outhouse.

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, explaining why the damage verdict could not stand, said most people would consider the Hustler spoof “gross and repugnant.” But, he declared, “we think the First Amendment prohibits such a result in the area of public debate about public figures.”

“Were we to hold otherwise, political cartoonists and satirists would be subjected to damage awards without any showing that their work falsely defamed its subject,” Rehnquist said.

It is not enough for a political official or public figure to prove that his attacker was motivated by hatred or ill-will and intentionally sought to hurt his feelings, Rehnquist wrote.

full decision here

Dr. Taitz and her sycophantic Teabirthers need to understand that the holding of opposing views and opinions are what makes a Nation great. It is when those views you don’t agree with are suppressed that a Nation indeed flirts like a high priced whore with Tyranny.  Do they? Not on your life. That’s the  thing about Teabirthing Seditionists. They simply HATE. Hate the President, hate Congress, hate no religious test for public office , hate the Government and especially the Constitution’s Preamble and the Bill of RIGHTS.  so when a group of people of varying political ideologies come together to mock “Lady Liberty” (sic), we are labeled “cyberbullies” a “hate group”.

They will hate themselves for being so gullible, once they wake from their slumber.

We Are Orly's World. Expect Us

A Lesson in Sockpuppetry

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

Dear Socks,

If you are going to wander into a Facebook group to take on the members, it is always a good idea to read up on the person you are planning on impersonating, otherwise, you come off reading like a semi-literate baboon. Currently, there is a person pretending to be Emer De Vattel in one of the “Make Fun of Birthers” groups “challenging” us on Vattel’s inivisible “natural born citizen”. Invisible, because De Vattel never used the phrase in  his  Laws of Nations Or PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF NATURE APPLIED TO THE CONDUCT AND AFFAIRS OF NATIONS AND SOVEREIGNS . The French is Le droit des gens or, The Right of the People, if it were “Nations” it would be Le droit des pays.  So, right there, we have the first error in translation. How many more are there in that 1883 edition that was digitized in 1999?

Another thing, my dear sockpuppets and wanna-be torlls, if you have to run back your froup for support, you’ve lost.

So, remember my little sockpuppets, on Facebook you cannot be supported in email. And if you are going to impersonate someone, please try a wee bit harder, for you too can be awards the Cracked (Chamber) Pot, like Birther Køøk, “Emmerich Vattel” :
