At least according to the screaming front-page of the supermarket tabloid the Globe, on view for millions of shoppers now.
I saw it today while waiting to pay for groceries, and had a few minutes to scan this AMAZING, EXCLUSIVE, BREAKING story.
Here's my best recollection (not taking notes in the checkout line, and certainly not buying the Globe) of what the Globe won't post on its website about this AMAZING, EXCLUSIVE, BREAKING story.
But first, here's what the Globe gives away online:
Forger Nailed in Obama Birth Probe
A crack team of law enforcement investigators has tracked down TWO men they're convinced played a part in the forgery of President Barack Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate -- and the White House is reeling!
Only GLOBE has blockbuster details about the probe into the President birth's papers -- PLUS a stunning photo re-enactment of the moment investigators closed in on one of the two suspects.
Details, below.
First of all, this exclusive came from Sheriff Joe Arpaio's crack team of law enforcement investigators, especially ace investigator Mike Zullo, allegedly a retired Bergen County, NJ, detective (though no public record supports Zullo's claim to public police employment, he apparently was a self-employed private investigator).
Arpaio is the Republican, extremely conservative, semi-racist sheriff of Maricopa County, AZ, who was encouraged by local teabaggers to do a birther investigation. He set up a "Cold Case Posse" to do the investigation and get Arpaio some press that would impress his white, old, conservative political base.
The Globe claims Zullo told them that he has interviewed the "forger" of the Hawaii birth certificate and an "accomplice".
The Globe also claims (yet again) that Obama was born in Kenya.
The Globe claims that, according to a conveniently anonymous inside source, the Obama White House is going crazy over this story.
Of course, the "forger" and his "accomplice" are not named, and the "stunning photo re-enactment" is made-up BS, like the rest of the story and most everything else in the Globe.
But it will have its intended impact -- millions of American shoppers will see the Globe's front page this week.
Birther Central WorldNutDaily has not mentioned the Globe EXCLUSIVE!!! yet, but a story headlined "SHERIFF JOE SET TO RELEASE MORE OBAMA 'SHOCKERS'" is its screaming headline today.
Arpaio will hold a press conference about the "shockers" on July 17; he sent Zullo out to tease it during a tea party radio show:
I can’t disclose to you what we’ve discovered, but it’s going to be a shocking revelation at our press conference.
snip
The information … is going to be breathtaking when it’s released.
Yeah, right.
Arpaio, WND, the Globe, etc., surely know that they are peddling a fantasy designed and well-funded to encourage the GOP base to vote out the Kenyan Muslim Communist.
The Globe story now and the Sheriff Joe press conference on July 17 will be promoted throughout the wingnut/tea party networks, and otherwise ignored, like the first "blockbuster" Arpaio press conference in March.
IMHO, the hard tea-party right who believes this BS needs little encouragement to get to the polls.
And, since they are so few of them, it will do nothing to impede Obama's re-election.
But the more attention focused on these scamsters (Zullo has written an e-book with professional birther Jerome Corsi, and WND survives by selling far-right books, snake oil, and survivalist crap), the better.
Such attention won't help in Alabama, but it will help in Ohio.
