AFTER A TWO-WEEK HIATUS
by Sharon Rondeau
(Dec. 26, 2014) — After at least two weeks of downtime, the Maricopa County, AZ Cold Case Posse website is operational again.
Like other Maricopa County posses, the Cold Case Posse works on a volunteer basis on criminal investigations.
At the request of 250 constituents in August 2011, the following month Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio commissioned the Cold Case Posse to conduct a preliminary investigation of an image published on the White House website purported to be a certified copy of Obama’s original long-form birth certificate from the Hawaii Department of Health.
After several days of testing, the posse members found that the image did not appear to have originated with a real, paper document. Further investigation revealed that it is a “computer-generated forgery” beyond the standard of probable cause.
Two formal press conferences were given on March 1, 2012 and July 17, 2012, respectively, during which Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo and Arpaio divulged their discoveries and called upon Congress to launch its own investigation into their findings.
Congress failed to act, and Obama was reportedly re-elected for a second term by a very close margin. Last month, the government watchdog organization Judicial Watch reported that the number of illegal aliens voting in U.S. federal elections could be sufficient to tip presidential and other federal elections to Democrats, particularly in 2008.
In recent months, Arpaio has hinted that additional information may be released to the public if he believes the timing is right.
The mainstream media has refused to report on the posse’s findings of forgery in Obama’s only publicly-proffered documentation, having chosen instead to act as his advocate. Zullo has called the media’s ignoring of the posse’s findings “gaslighting.”
At this time, The Post & Email is not aware of the reason for the Cold Case Posse website’s downtime.
