Smear Campaign Against Sarah Palin on Internet & You Tube … Obama/Axelrod Connection

Busted? The following story is almost too unbelievable to be true, but as Jay Tea states at Wizbang … “But it’s all too plausible, in this day and age.” So much for the most ethical campaign in history.

In this day and age when one wants investigation journalism one needs to look to the internet, not the main stream media. There is a reason why I have always enjoyed and respected the work done at the Jawa Report. Rusty Shackleford and the Jawa Report has done some incredible research into the internet smear campaign directed toward Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Smears and allegations made toward Sarah Palin that were patently false. I am not even going to attempt to go into the details as that needs to be done by going directly to the Jawa Report for this is a must READ.

Our research suggests that a subdivision of one of the largest public relations firms in the world most likely started and promulgated rumors about Sarah Palin that were known to be false. These rumors were spread in a surreptitious manner to avoid exposure.

It is also likely that the PR firm was paid by outside sources to run the smear campaign. While not conclusive, evidence suggests a link to the Barack Obama campaign. Namely:

Jennifer Richards & Sean Michael Block Offer Sex with 5 Year Old for an Apartment and a Used Car

“Nice piece 5 yrs old belongs to my gf and she wants to sell”

WTF!!! A San Antonio couple, 25 year old Jennifer Richards and her married boyfriend, 40 year old Sean Michael Block, are accused of trying to trying to trade sex with the woman’s 5 year old daughter in exchange for an apartment, a used car and child care for her 10 month old daughter.

Jennifer Richards, 25, and her married boyfriend, Sean Michael Block, 40, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Stein Nowak on Friday. Richards is charged with using interstate facilities to transmit information about a minor. Block is charged with distributing child pornography.

The affidavit describing the events that took place are beyond comprehension. The graphic testimony of what this couple planned defies words. They have to be read to be believed and then a shower might be in order.

According to an affidavit unsealed last Tuesday, the investigation began when an informant told the FBI about a text message allegedly sent by Block reading: “Nice piece 5 yrs old belongs to my gf and she wants to sell it.”

Little China Girls … International Olympic Committee (IOC) Launches Age Probe for China Gymnast He Kexin … Just count the Birthday Candles

Does anyone really believe this girl was 16? Earth to IOC … under age gymnasts is a performance enhancing drug!!!

Instead of playing the China National Anthem during the Female Gymnastic gold medal ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, they would have been better served to have played David Bowie’s “Little China Girl”.

After much uproar and skepticism over the Chinese under age gymnastic athletes, International Olympic Committee (IOC) has decided to look into the allegations that many of the Chinese gymnasts may only be 14 years old.  In a sport like gymnastics where ever move, appearance, bobble, and look is scrutinised by judges not only during the event but via laptop computer after the event is over … the IOC can’t seem to be able to actually verify individual’s birth dates! Why don’t they just take a look at the last birthday cake and see how many candles are on it.? That is if gymnasts were allowed to eat cake. In the end, it took a blogger to bring the IOC to their knees and the cry for an investigation.

 China gymnast at 14 … Gateway Pundit

Suddenly she is 16

The International Olympic Committee has ordered an investigation into mounting allegations that Chinese authorities covered up the true age of their gold-medal winning gymnastics star because she was too young to compete.

An IOC official told The Times that because of “discrepancies” that have come to light about the age of He Kexin, the host nation’s darling who won gold in both team and individual events, an official inquiry has been launched that could result in the gymnast being stripped of her medals.

The investigation was triggered as a US computer expert claimed yesterday to have uncovered Chinese government documents that he says prove she is only 14 - making her ineligible to compete in the Olympics - rather than 16, as officials in Beijing insist is her age.

Local blogging hacker done good … Stryde hax. Its about time some one turned the tables and hacked the Chinese for a change.

In the Baidu cache, which apparently has not been hit with the scrub brush (yet), two spreadsheets published by the Chinese government on sport.gov.cn both list He Kexin’s birthday as 01-01-1994, making her 14 years old. For as long as these links work, you can access the documents directly, either using the directions and screenshots above, or these links: cache1 cache2

As the Gateway Pundit stated, “Reporters said the amount of evidence was insurmountable… No kidding!” Previously the Chinese were busted for scrubbing web sites of their female gymnasts age. The Jawa Report shoes further evidence from Chinese government web sites of their ages and that they cheated.

Date of birth … 1994!

Pathetic Irony … Daniel Allen Everett, World’s Greatest Dad Pleads Guilty to Child Sex Abuse

If it wasn’t so pathetically sick, it would be funny. 33 year old Daniel Allen Everett, “The World’s Greatest Dad” has pleaded guilty to sex abuse after attempting to meet over the internet what he thought was a 14 year old girl for sex. Why is he referred to as the world’s greatest dad? This perv was sporting a “World’s Greatest Dad” t-shirt when he was arrested in the internet sting operation for soliciting sex from what he thought was a 14 year old girl.

A truly sick sense of irony from child sex abuse suspect Daniel Allen Everett

Thirty-three-year-old Daniel Allen Everett pleaded guilty Thursday in Oakland County Circuit Court to child sexual abuse and using the Internet to attempt child sexual abuse.

Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 21. Messages seeking comment were left for defense attorney Deborah McKelvy.

A sad reminder that Internet predators come from all walks of life.

Danmichelle2004 busted for allegedly engaged in graphic sexual conversation with an undercover agent posing as a 14 year old girl.

Daniel Allen Everett  “allegedly engaged in graphic sexual conversation with an undercover agent and propositioned the agent, who was posing as a 14-year-old girl, to meet him for sex,” prosecutors say in a statement issued Tuesday. “This afternoon, Everett was arrested in Novi where he is alleged to have appeared to meet the minor for sex. He was arrested wearing a T-shirt with the words, ‘Worlds Greatest Dad’ on the front, a sad reminder that Internet predators come from all walks of life.”

Media Double Standard, Why are They Ignoring the Edwards “Love Child” Story?

The media double standard is at it again … they only do the news that they want us to read and hear. It isn’t the first time that a story was first covered on the internet and then the MSM was guilted into covering.

The John Edwards “Love Child” … “Baby Daddy” story has once again shown the hypocrisy and the double standard of the main stream media. One might ask themselves, where is the coverage? After all, we are talking about a man in John Edwards that was a VP candidate and had John Kerry won the 2004 election would have been a heart beat away from the highest office in the land. Although John Edwards has denied the allegations, since when has that stopped the MSM from digging? Edwards calls it tabloid trash, yet these days how does one tell the difference from the MSM?

EDWARDS RESPONDS: ‘I don’t talk about these tabloids. Tabloid trash is full of lies.’ Developing… (Drudge Report)

As Slate reminds us, the media fell all over themselves when it came to the Senator Larry Craig story. The press was also all over the Bob Livingston’s affair and sexual indiscretions. They could get enough of the Clarence Thomas sexual harassment accusations by Anita Hill. What about the coverage of McCain and Vicki Iseman by the media? What do all these people have in common? They are either Republican or have conservative leaning ways.  However, when it comes to Democrats and John Edwards … the silence on the part of the media is deafening.

Yet, if the press craves consistency, it owes its readers some sort of assessment of Edwards. Is he, like Craig, a public hypocrite? Edwards is still very much a public figure. As Drudge notes today on his site, as recently as June the Associated Press reported that he was a vice presidential short-lister. If Edwards had no affair and fathered no love child, it should be easy to erase the hypocrisy charge, and the press owes him that, pronto. If we give Edwards the benefit of the doubt, which he deserves, visiting the woman who recently gave birth to the out-of-wedlock child of a married campaign aide is completely OK. But meeting her at a Beverly Hills hotel in the early hours of the morning and running from tabloid reporters when approached and hiding in a hotel bathroom for 15 minutes, as the Enquirer reports Edwards did, is not completely OK. Not if he wants to avoid the hypocrite label. (Slate)

Dr. Phil Attorneys Use Scared Monkeys Natalee Holloway Posts as Exhibit in Court Docs Against Deepak & Satish Kalpoes

Scared Monkeys makes the list of exhibits for the defense in the case of Deepak & Satish Kalpoe v. Dr. Phil. Scared Monkeys has been on this case from the beginning, long before and certainly long after most of the media coverage.

A recent court document was filed on July 7, 2008 with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles – Central District by the attorneys of Dr. Phil McGraw, CBS Television and the Estate of Jamie Skeeters as a special motion to strike compliant pursuant to California code of Civil procedure § 425.16 against the claims of Deepak and Satish Kalpoe.

(Read the full post HERE that was used as an exhibit)

Scared Monkeys has attained a copy of the filing and to our surprise a Scared Monkeys post was used as an exhibit for the defense. The post by Scared Monkeys actually makes up pages 55 – 123. The post and what is Exhibit A-51 was written on February 16, 2008 entitled, “Scared Monkey’s Welcomes Bill O’Reilly & Geraldo Rivera to the Fold as they Finally Embrace the Aruba Boycott and Date Rape in Natalee Holloway Disappearance”. The full article can be read HERE. Not only was the post used, but comments as well.

As many have stated since the Kalpoe’s filed their defamation law suit, how can one have their character impugned if there was no character or reputation in the first place? From the outset of the Natalee Holloway disappearance and the case against the three main suspects, Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe … the media in print, TV, radio and internet have done stories based upon the actions and words of these three suspects. The Kalpoe’s were arrested by the ALE. They brought that upon themsleves. It was the 3 suspects who lied to the police and stated they returned Natalee Holloway to the Holiday Inn the night they drove off with her from Carlos ‘n Charlie’s. It was the suspects who lied about the two black security guards and implicated them in a crime where they were arrested. It was the three suspects who continually changed their stories and statements to the police and investigators.

What did the Kalpoe’s Know and why did they Lie?

The Kalpoe’s claim to be victims; however, they brought all of what happened following Natalee Holloway’s disappearance on themselves. They have no one to blame but themselves and their lies. Its nothing more than a get quick rich scheme for people who only made $950.00 US a month (response from Interrogatory) to cash in for millions at the expense of missing Natalee Holloway.

Scared Monkeys has been on the story from the beginning and its good to see that we are continuing to help in the case and issues that have come about from the case of missing Natalee Holloway. It would also seem that Dr. Phil owes us a thank you as well.  This is about “Justice for Natalee” … not $’s for the Kalpoe’s.

Barack Obama Flip Flops on the Second Amendment and Gun Control … Internet You Tube Fact Checking

What ever happened to politicians taking a stand on an issue and holding to that position? We are not talking about positions that may change due to economic or social changes within our society like whether to drill offshore or not due to the ever rising price of oil. We are talking about positions regarding the Constitution and Amendments, like a position on the right to bear arms.

The folks at Hot Air make a very good point in that Barack Obama has yet to figure out You Tube or the instant fact checking capability of the internet. Fact checking and discovering candidate flip-flopping is no longer just the job of the media but now the duty of the many on the web.

Now, with video on line and millions of fact-checkers scrutinizing every statement, any obviously false statement will get exposed in short order.  Yesterday’s assertion by Barack Obama that he never said the DC gun ban overturned by the Supreme Court was constitutional or that he supported it became the latest in his flip-flops to be exposed by a simple review of the videotape record:

In February 2008 Obama provides an explanation of how the DC gun ban is part of a Constitutional effort at gun control. Fast forward to June 26, 2008 after the SCOTUS ruled in favor of upholding the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution and declared the DC ban was unconstitutional. However, once again as the Gateway Pundit points out, “Bang! Bang!… Bambi Gunned Down on YouTube.”

Obama has done a complete 180 on gun bans, attempting to paint himself as a moderate when the paltry record of Obama’s political stands shows just the opposite. (Ed Morrissey, Hot Air)

Doesn’t Barack Obama sound like yet another past Democratic Presidential wannbe, John Kerry, in that he was for it before he was against it.

Obama: I was for the D.C. handgun ban before I was against it

12 Year Old Wesport, CT Student Charged with Distributing Nude Pic of Classmate

What are kids thinking these days? Better than that, what is society thinking in that it is ok to bombard kids with sex at a young age and not think that it will not desensitize them.

Do children, pre-teens and teens not understand that distributing naked pics of classmates and themselves is child pornography? Obviously not as a 12 year old middle school girl was charged with the distribution of a classmate in Westport, CT. The girl, whom police did not identify because she is a juvenile, was charged with second-degree breach of peace, which includes distributing “offensive, indecent or abusive material concerning any person.”

A 12-year-old Westport girl has been charged with distributing a nude photo of a classmate to fellow students.

The investigation began on May 12 when the incident was reported to Westport police after word circulated throughout Coleytown Middle School that a nude snapshot was taken during a video chat and distributed to others.

The girl is being referred to Juvenile Court in Norwalk on a charge of second-degree breach of peace, which involves the distribution of offensive and indecent material. Her name is not being released because of her age.

The arrest comes amid growing worries among parents about teenagers snapping naked pictures of themselves on their cell phones and sending them to their boyfriends and girlfriends.

Girl, 12, Accused Of E-Mailing Nude Picture Of Classmate

If one ever needs to know why this type of stuff goes on with teens and preteens, one only needs to look at the excuses provided. Some how, the 12 year old is innocent because she was singled out. Because others did not get charged, that makes this specific 12 year old innocent. Brilliant!!! What more should we expect from a defense attorney.

“This is a 12-year-old girl who was unfairly singled out here,” said the girl’s attorney, Mark Sherman. “She wasn’t the only one to send e-mails out here.”

Here are some rather important words that parents should read and take to heart when it comes to their kids. It is your job parents to properly raise Buffy and Skippy in the right way with values.

Psychologist Dr. David Greenfield said teenagers share racy images of themselves and other kids because they can.

“Kids have always played pranks, but what’s happened is we’ve desensitized the sexual act and the experience and exposure to sexual acts,” he said. “Plus with the digital technology, it’s easy for them to have access and transmit this information.”

Greenfield said the high-tech pranks are devastating for victims and a wake-up call for parents.
