WND: SCOTUS Monitoring Kansas Blog Over Eligibility; TRSOL Seen by the House!

Posted on 3/23/2009 by

WorldNetDaily reported this weekend that a Kansas-based blog, MsPlacedDemocrat.com, has been frequented by someone at the Supreme Court:

[Nancy Armstrong] tracked the page to her recent commentary about Orly Taitz … 

Her commentary included Taitz’ recent interviews, on which WND has reported, with Justice Antonin Scalia and Chief Justice John Roberts.

[She] blogged:

“Dr. Orly Taitz, both a lawyer and naturalized citizen, has personally taken on the issue of Obama’s eligibility. There is nothing wrong with her questioning this issue because Obama has literally hidden every evidence of his past. What has he hidden? All school records, passport records, employment records (forget his stupid story about ice cream and an ice cream shop….I believe it is another one of Obama’s lies.) and his REAL birth certificate.

“Dr. Orly Taitz wouldn’t even have to question anything if Obama was transparent about his life, something he continues to fight with law firms all over the country. Transparency would end all issues, but we will never see that from Obama…,” the blogger continued.

“Dr. Taitz has been racing across the country, often times missing her three sons, to meet with Supremes….particularly Scalia and Roberts to further her ‘quo warranto’ case now at the door of the Supreme Court.” …

Armstrong told WND she was writing about the issue because a friend asked her to do it.

“I just happened to go in and check. I brought my husband in right away. He was dumbfounded. There was the Supreme Court,” she said. “It did surprise me.

“It may be that [Taitz] has checkmated the Supreme Court …. which means they are trying to dispense with her and her case,” she said.

Having done a “tracert” on 209.144.137.1 certainly does show this particular IP address to be originating from washington.savvis.net. Further, sitemeter.com — the “software” to which the article refers — is a very good web-based service used by many sites to track many different aspects of web traffic to and from one’s site. I have similarly just begun using sitemeter.com for this site, though I’ve been using my own internal, back-end WordPress plugins to track things as well as Google’s Analytics tool.

What I will caution my readers on, however, is that all that the IP confirms is that someone is using the Supreme Court’s account to look at web pages; we do not know, simply based on the above statistical analysis, whether or not it’s an actual Justice (which I highly doubt, for a number of reasons). Further, the last digit in the IP address is a “1,” and typically most PCs or Macs that use the Internet from within a given account are not assigned such a low number. In other words, this could very well be what’s known as a gateway or router into the SCOTUS offices or other facility.

All that being said, it is obvious that the Supreme Court’s offices are aware of what’s going on in the blogosphere.

Update: Yes, sitemeter.com does show a lot. For example, The Right Side of Life is being watched by the US House of Representatives:

This is the second such record I’ve seen that someone from “inside the beltway” via my stats tracking. It is difficult to tell of any others, since I’ve only started tracking things via sitemeter.com yesterday afternoon.

This time, there is a pound (“#”) sign that would otherwise represent the actual device (computer) accessing my site. Sitemeter.com doesn’t give a full explanation of what that means, so I’ll assume that the House uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol), whereby any given computer “leases” a specific IP address from behind the House’s firewall in order to receive network packets from off the Internet.

Incidentally, whomever this was had visited TenthAmendmentCenter.com first, came over to my Monday’s Headlines page, and then exited back out.

Either way, yup — we’re being watched!

    Would this identity be suject to a Freedom of Information request? This IS a government-owned computer, right? Government resources, paid for by the taxpayer, being used for personal or partisan political reasons? Is there a way that that FOIA could be used to tell us where this computer sits and who uses it?

    Phil,

    Look carefully at the above.
    WindowsXP
    Internet explorer 6.0
    Java Script 1.3

    This suggests an older computer that is not updated frequently. Computers behind local servers are not always updated, or can’t be updated due to security protocols. This suggests an older computer, on a government server. I doubt that a SCOTUS justice would have such an outdated machine.

    While it’s certainly possible to submit an FOIA request, one would probably also have to be very specific as to what devices were being used on SCOTUS premises for such network traffic, as those devices, per se, would likely contain logs of the actual traffic being sent/received. Those logs would then provide a direct clue as to exactly which computer was being used for the page requests. Beyond that, it would be up to the computer in question to determine exactly who was using it at the time (based on user authentication at the console (keyboard) level).

    I’m going to take a wild guess and say it’s some clerk at SCOTUS trying to get Orly off the SCOTUS bar.

    They are going to try to do everything they can to derail this enormous freight train coming down the tracks. They can certainly try, but people just don’t give up so easily when they see their retirement and college money being spoonfed to foreigners with out so much as a bat of the eye. People will start with TOTUS and work their way down.

    Good. Start taking notice to the growing Tea Parties as well. American Revolution II is around the corner and what is amazing is that King Obama IS the reenactment of King George I literally by him being subject to British rule at birth.

    Phil,

    I’m not surprised that the House.gov is visiting your site. I send a regular newsletter to my state’s legislators. In this newsletter, I frequently recommend websites for them to visit, yours being one of them. I’m glad to see this activity. Yours is a good site and one they can use to get updates at their leisure.

    Hey, thanks for that. It’s all a group effort to keep the good word getting out to folks, regardless of whether they have the ears of officeholders or the ears of their children!

    Leave them alone, we want them looking at the internet, it’s the only place they can find a discussion or information about the issue.

    The MSM won’t cover it, so they are doing what we had to do.

    If we make a big deal out of it, they’ll likely get a memo that nobody in the offices are allowed to visit these sites anymore.

    Who knows they may have even joined a discussion or two??

    This is great news to trace who is posting and find from what government office they work. I will be willing to bet that some Obama supporters won’t post anymore knowing this. It will give away who they are employed by, Our Government.
    I have thought all along that your sight has been hit with strong resistance and not just from common law abiding citizens but from others with a political agenda to hide the Truth.

    Is there any good reason a true American would not want to know the truth and see a BC?
    Would a lawyer have nothing better to do than to comment here to hide the truth? haha (hired by who?)
    Most who argues against being transparent have an agenda. What could it be???
    They attack lawyers trying to defend OUR Constitution. Why?
    It’s a shame for lawyers to fight to hide the truth.
    I am very happy you are able to trace them Phil. Keep up the good job. tyvm

    I hate to burst your bubble, Phil, but it is not necessarily something to be proud of that you are being “watched.” Sadly, you are included in a general group of right wing radical web sites. Nobody cares what you have to say. They are looking for threats to our government, country and president. How do I know? Well, I suppose nobody knows anything for sure, but this is straight from the mouth of the #2 person in our local FBI office. Think about it. You are right up there with Ed Hale and Orly and the gang! Lucky you :-)

    Phil,
    There are 435 members of Congress. Each member has a staff including secretaries, legislative assistants, research assistants, and interns. Lots of interns. Some are part-timers who work only a few hours a week; many are college students. They all have assigned tasks, but are only loosely supervised. Many are assigned to read and respond to constituent email.

    Given that, there are many different possible reasons and many routes that would take someone with a house.gov web site to yours. Maybe a constituent sent an email with a link and a question and they followed it. Maybe a staffer was doing research to try to answer a question from a constituent.

    The point is, I don’t think you should be either surprised or suspicious to see that one or more of the thousands of people who work on Capitol Hill might stumble onto your site from time to time, given the political orientation of your site. Those people use the same internet we do.

  15. On March 23rd, 2009 at 8:20 pm , Bills girl said...

    I wouldn’t get too excited, folks. There are hundreds of computers working off the USSC server, and thousands off the House server. Most likely some bored employee killing time on the Internet.

    On the other hand, it’s quite possible the Supreme Court Police monitor some of the more flaming sites out there. It is, after all, their job to maintain security for the justices and their offices.

    And don’t forget that at least one Representative is a hands-on birther. Do you think it unlikely his staff wouldn’t be checking out the blogs?

    Government resources, paid for by the taxpayer, being used for personal or partisan political reasons?
    That’s one possibility. Another is government resources, paid for by the taxpayer, being used to investigate exactly what threats might be being made on birther blogs.

    Just sayin…

    Jenni,

    Sadly, you are included in a general group of right wing radical web sites. Nobody cares what you have to say.

    Most excellent! If being “radical” equates to wanting to uphold the Constitution for what it says (versus what statists want it to say), I’ll be “radical” any day of the week!

    Regarding people caring what I have to say, I must say your claim falls on two counts: (1) you must care, else you wouldn’t take the time to (a) frequent my site as much as you do and (b) take the time to make a comment; (2) all the statistics that I have for my site shows that it’s becoming steadily more and more popular.

    They are looking for threats to our government, country and president. How do I know? Well, I suppose nobody knows anything for sure, but this is straight from the mouth of the #2 person in our local FBI office. Think about it. You are right up there with Ed Hale and Orly and the gang! Lucky you

    Saweet! Do tell the folks in your local FBI office that I said, “hi!” I wish them the best in their efforts in helping to enforce the great Constitution of the United States, regardless of who is President.

    Call me slow but I am just not following what the big deal is. Why are people asking if they will recieve visits from law enforcement? I have seen nothing from any of you that would warrant a visit from anyone (well there was one but Phil wisely deleted it). Why is it a big deal that there have been visits from SCOTUS offices? I thought blogs were for people to read. So they read the blog? Good for Phil. He gets more hits.

    Phil has always had the ability to see where everyone is posting from. If you didn’t have anything to hide before then nothing has changed and if you did have something to hide before then nothing has changed.

    NOTICE AND DEMAND FOR
    EXHIBITION OF MISSING CREDENTIALS
    TO: John G. Roberts, Jr.
    c/o Supreme Court of the United States
    1 First Street, N.E.
    Washington 20543-0001
    DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, USA

    FROM: Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
    Private Attorney General
    DATE: January 8, 2007 A.D.
    SUBJECT: missing credentials

    Greetings John G. Roberts, Jr.:

    Please be advised that a proper request submitted under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) has resulted in a determination that the following requisite credentials for you cannot be found or exhibited by the legal custodians of those records:
    (1) Oath of Office
    (2) Appointment Affidavit
    As of October 1, 2004 A.D., a proper SUBPOENA IN A CIVIL CASE was overdue for your Oath Office and Appointment Affidavit.
    For your convenience, we have attached pertinent documentation.
    Formal demand is hereby made of you to produce all missing credentials as itemized above no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 9, 2007 A.D. Beyond that reasonable deadline, your silence will activate estoppel pursuant to Carmine v. Bowen, and it will also constitute fraud pursuant to U.S. v. Tweel.
    Thank you for your timely and professional consideration.
    Sincerely yours,
    /s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell
    Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.

    Private Attorney General, 18 U.S.C. 1964(a)

    [Brown v. State, 238 S.W.2d 787]

    I think Phil is savvy enough to know there are many reasons why an individual might visit the site. However, someone from Capital Hill doesn’t just “stumble” onto a political site, although the reasons could be varied.

    Poppet,

    This goes to the heart of our problem with Obama being transparent. If the Judge’s have found a way to not show their credentials then why should Obama?

    Do you know of any active resolutions to these credential issues you posted? Are they still being investigated? By who?

    “NICE TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE FROM SCOTUS VISIT’S YOUR SITE:
    MAYBE THEY CAN COME UP WITH SOME OF THE MISSING CREDENTIAL’S ON MANY JUDGE’S……”

    Hopefully SCOTUS is watching and can understand credentials are vital information and need to be shown by all public servants.

    Thanks for the info Poppet.
