| Secrets revealed! |
| The revealers |
Orly Taitz is an (allegedly) Moldavian born[1] dentist real estate agent lawyer[2] professional time-waster, who, as a prominent birther, has provided too much grist for WorldNetDaily's craziness already. She is most famous for the large amount of TV coverage she received for waving around a birth certificate that she claims is President Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate (which looks strangely like ones issued in South Australia at the time of Obama's birth[3]).
Dr.[4] Taitz in her capacity as a crank "lawyer" has represented several people in legal cases against Obama. She obtained her law degree from William Howard Taft University, a correspondence-only university which is not accredited by the American Bar Association,[5] although she has been a member of the State Bar of California since 2002.[6] She is also allowed to appear before the Supreme Court.[7]
She received a $20,000 smack-down for frivolous lawsuits alleging that United States army personnel do not have to go to Iraq or Afghanistan because Obama isn't really president.[8] Following the case she was referred to the State Bar of California for her conduct.[9] Her response was to accuse the judge in that case of being part of the conspiracy to cover up Obama's citizenship. She attempted to appeal her fine to the Supreme Court but was denied a hearing four times. Still unwilling to admit defeat, Taitz has vowed to appeal yet again, to take the case to "an international court", and to file "a proper complaint with the Committee of the Judiciary with the U.S. House".[10]
Taitz's views are controversial even to other right wingers: in July 2009, Bill O'Reilly called her views "stupid".[11] In response, Taitz organized a protest against O'Reilly's network, Fox News, on November 11 2009. Fox expected around 150 people to appear,[12] but in fact the number of protesters was closer to 10.[13]
She has qualified to run for California secretary of state, said Orange County Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley.[14] She was, however, stomped in the primaries, and is now trying desperately to come up with reasons that the election might not have been legit.

The Mystery of Orly's Website
In 2009, Orly Taitz's website defendourfreedoms.net began to suffer a litany of technical problems, namely security warning messages and severe latency. Taitz claimed variably that the problems were due to either Obama connected hackers attacking the site or the FBI trying to shut it down.
On March 12, the actual site owner took control of the blog to reveal the actual culprit: A third-party data mining application installed by Taitz for some unknown reason. According to the owner, Taitz had authorized the installation of the same application on her first blog, which she abandoned after alleging it had been sabotaged.[15]
Birthers: The Musical
Presented without comment, with emphasis added:
“”Earlier this month an army doctor, Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, was sentenced to six months in prison and thrown out of the military after he failed to turn up for a tour of duty in Afghanistan, arguing that because of Obama's foreign birth his orders as commander-in-chief were illegal.
Taitz said that she was now trying to turn the Lakin story into a musical, and is appealing for Andrew Lloyd Webber to contact her.[16]
