I spun this out from the Globe thread because some of the stuff there touched on this group.

WJC / WCJ was originally founded in 1991 by Joseph Farah (of World Net Daily fame) and James H. Smith, publisher of the Sacramento Union (which was formerly owned by Richard Mellon Scaife). During the Clinton years, they were well known for being a clearinghouse of lies and rumours about Bill and Hillary Clinton, particularly in promoting the "Vince Foster Suicide" theory. Richard Mellon Scaife helped bankroll the WJC/WCJ then as well. WJC/WCJ is one of the primary stockholders of World Net Daily, the other being Joseph Farah.

Not surprisingly, WJC / WCJ was moribund during the Bush II administration, but came roaring back to life when Obama took office. Currently veteran GOP dirty trickster Floyd Brown runs it.

WJC / WCJ has been involved in promoting birtherism since at least early 2009. Huffington Post noted their return when WJC / WCJ sent out an email that promoted the usual birther stream of lies.

SInce then, WJC / WCJ did the infamous 'Clearing the Smoke' piece that was supposedly written by an investigator hired by a retired CIA agent (thanks to Loren for pointing that out to me), as well as reports by Steve Baldwin called "Is Obama Stupid and Lazy?" and "Is Obama A Closet Racist?" The first is promoting the meme that Obama got to where he is now due to "affirmative action" policies (and seems to be surfing on the "all blacks are lazy and stupid and waiting for government handouts" belief so popular with racists), and the second is more of the same claim that Obama is biased against whites in favour of other non-whites.

Note, I don't know if the "Steve Baldwin" who wrote these is conservative actor Stephen Baldwin.

Some of the comments in various threads at WJC / WCJ are pretty vile as well. Here's a random sample:

From an article on MajGen Curry "Calling Out" Obama:

Guest,
The time is now ! I fear that if we wait to Impeach, Remove from office or a Coup d" etat by the military, it may just be to late !
I seriously fear that we will never see a Mid Term Election.

Cougar, I think MANY in our country are preparing to do whatever it takes to take back our country. There is ample evidence now to prove that obama's agenda is to destroy this great country from within. It is prudent for us to try by civil means to take action. If he attempts to stop the November elections I am quite sure we would not hesitate to do whatever is necessary.

Or from an article on "The New Black Panthers":

Arn`t most of our leader White? Have these White so called leaders been given a "Safe Haven" if they do as they are told to do?I`m surprised their children havn`t run away,or,worse;maybe they know the deal.

FURTHER I DIASAGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT THAT HELL IS FORTHCOMING! IT IS ALREADY AMONGST US IN THE FORM OF OBAMA THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS EVIL FOLLOWERS.

Or another "New Black Panther" scare story:

Quote:

"'HOT COUGAR · 1 week ago
HI VICTOR,
I THINK IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU SEE THE BLACK PANTHERS & THOSE OBAMA YOUTH GROUP MEMBERS ALL DRESSED UP IN MILITARY GARB."

"Wahh! I see scary black people! Make them go away!!"

Somehow I suspect "Hot Cougar" (great name BTW) has no problem with seeing various "militia" groups and white nationalists all dressed up in military garb.

And in this article (that's a repost from the Pest and eFail's letter to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer begging her to challenge Obama's eligibility), we have the this great one:

Quote:

eingriff 51p · 1 week ago,http://www.westernjournalism.com/arizona-governor-can-force-obama-to-prove-he’s-eligible/#IDComment86737847 (link BBcode failing to work)
DanB, I suspect the reason is that, while the original birth certificate will show him as a natural born citizen at the time of his birth (as to later, stay tuned) it will also show that he can not truly and honestly claim the distinction of being the son of a black man. In common parlance, he's not black, or even half black, notwithstanding he's pretended to be black for decades - the longest running minstrel show in history.

Betcha he thinks Obama is really - gasp! - Arab. Just like Joseph Farah! Oh, wait.....

Quote:

"eingriff 51p · 1 week ago, http://www.westernjournalism.com/arizon ... o-prove-he’s-eligible/#IDComment87213789 (link BBcode failing to work)
Guest, good question. He couldn't be a natural born citizen if Obama the alien black Luo were his father."

"...the drums. The terrible black Luo drums. Can't you hear them, pounding, pounding though the night, like a uncivilized jungle heart. I CAN'T SLEEP, MAKE THE LUO DRUMS STOP!!!"

You know, the birthers seem to have a hangup on the tribe that Obama's father belonged to. Wonder how many Presidents had Native American ancestry and what tribe their ancestors belonged to...

Quote:

" I was warning Fritz off the trap and reminding him that Mr. Obama's real problems with citizenship come later, when he probably lost it altogether by forfeiture, disclaimer, renunciation, sedition, or some combination of the foregoing."

Or, as is more likely, "eingriff" is making shit up.

Quote:

"Again, my speculation, the birth parents were not black, father Caucasian mother predominantly Polynesian (hence the warm mahogany complexion)."

So he's claiming that neither Stanley Ann Dunham OR Barack Obama Sr. were President Obama's parents. Wow, that's special.

Quote:

"Mr. Obama can not truthfully claim the distinction of being the son of a Luo tribesman, with kith & kin in Africa, as he has been pretending all these years, to dupe people into voting for him as a black African and to denigrate as racists those who oppose him."

You know what? Bigotry and racism against Polynesians is also bigotry and racism. Funny thing that....

But they did dress to intimidate. Problem is, nobody was intimidated. The reason case was dropped, i think, is cuz they couldn't find anyone who was too intimidated to vote.

I wish those Black Panthers would knock it off.

Yeah, I've noticed that. And noticed that many of the same players from the Vince Foster conspiracy theory are pimping the birtherism claims now. Joseph Farah in particular has benefitted from going this route.

The naked racism shown in comments at the WJC / WCJ website is very informative as well. It shows exactly what their intended demographic is.

Mimi,

I think a big problem is the two " Black Panthers" members were trying to intimidated white voters into voting for Obama at a all black public housing project. I guess they thought that white voters were being bussed in to vote there or they got a hold of a old demographic study.

He's not. I found this bio at the end of one of his WCJ pieces:

Steve Baldwin writes on legislation and does investigative research. He is the former executive director of the Council for National Policy. He was elected to the California Legislature and served six years, where he chaired the Education Committee. He also served as the Minority Whip.

This is Floyd Brown. I had never seen him on video. He gives us an idea of what the future brings should the Republicans gain power:

I learned that Floyd Brown is Citizens United. I didn't know that:
http://www.publiceye.org/conspire/clint ... r8-12.html

I did not realize he was behind that movie that was to destroy Hillary Clinton.

I have posted before that he is proud of being a slimeball. Truly, he is. From his Impeach Obama Campaign website:

Quote:

A personal introduction is in order.
My name is Floyd Brown.

Most people know me as the man behind the infamous Willie Horton Ad that sunk the presidential aspirations of Governor Michael Dukakis, or for the pivotal work in support of the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas.

I was also among the first to sound the alarm on the Clinton Whitewater scandal as well as the mysterious circumstances surrounding the apparent suicide of White House Counsel Vince Foster during the early Clinton years.

He markets to the Christians. I'd say Jesus is crying.

Quote:

Floyd G. Brown is the Chairman of the Board of Citizens United, which he founded in 1988, and served as its founding President until 2000.[1] He is also president of Excellentia Inc., "a company specializing in marketing to conservatives and Christians"[2], described as "a new media company specializing in the IPTV[3] field."[4] Brown served 2001 to 2006 as Executive Director of Young America's Foundation.[5] In 1988, he was political director of Americans for Bush, which was affiliated with Citizens United. He also served as President of the Board of the Reagan Ranch, a division of the Young America's Foundation.[6] Brown is also the head of the Western Journalism Center.[7]

Then there are the articles of the murders when the bodes washed up on a sandbar before 6/62 and one had a rope around his neck.

With all the stoopid theories being thrown against the wall for the last five years, you'd think someone else might have followed through on a Kansas birth to the 'Pope', with bin Ladin and Westboro Baptist Church thrown in for good measure.
