Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to send his posse to guard schools...

Yes. They will be armed....

PHOENIX — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Thursday that he plans to deploy his armed volunteer posse to protect Valley schools from the kind of violence that happened in the Connecticut shooting tragedy. Arpaio believes having armed law officers around schools will deter would-be criminals from trying anything violent and, possibly, stop them if they do.

“I have the authority to mobilize private citizens and fight crime in this county,” Arpaio said.

Arpaio first started using his posse to protect malls during the holiday shopping season in 1993 in response to violent incidents in prior years. Since then he said malls where his posse members are on patrol have had zero violent re-occurrences and patrols by his all-volunteer squad during the 2012 shopping season netted a record 31 arrests.

Arpaio said since the program has worked so well in malls he believes it will work just as well protecting schools.

“We’re not talking about placing the posse in the schools right now but in the outlying — the perimeters of the school — to detect any criminal activity.”

DOJ drops criminal investigation of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio; finds no prosecutable crimes

The whole thing was a likely political vendetta anyway.

(Reuters) - Two tough-on-immigration Arizona sheriffs with national profiles in the Republican Party were cleared of criminal wrongdoing on Friday in unrelated probes, though one remains accused of racial profiling and other abuses in a pair of federal lawsuits.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona said it had closed its criminal investigation of alleged financial misconduct by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, self-described as "America's toughest sheriff", and was declining to bring charges.

But a separate U.S. Justice Department investigation and lawsuit relating to alleged civil rights abuses by Arpaio's office, including accusations of widespread racial profiling in his immigration enforcement, is continuing, federal prosecutors said. Read more here.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse now has hard evidence Obama's birth certificate was altered

FOX 10 News - Phoenix, AZ | KSAZ-TV

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse went to Hawaii and tracked down the 95 year-old registrar, Verna K. Lee, who stamped and signed Obama's original birth certificate. They asked Lee about the meaning of the penciled in numbers next to the information on the birth certificate. These numbers are codes used for entry into a census computer database. The number 9 means the box was left blank. The LFBC pdf file released by Obama has 9's by the boxes for fathers race and kind of business or industry. That means the boxes were blank on the original LFBC. The pdf released by Obama has "African" for race and "University" for business or industry. Also, the numbering for the birth certificate is out of sequence. Many had previously questioned the use of the term "African" for race because that wasn't a normal racial designation in 1961.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Investigators for an Arizona sheriff's volunteer posse have declared that President Barack Obama's birth certificate is definitely fraudulent.

Members of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse said in March that there was probable cause that Obama's long-form birth certificate released by the White House in April 2011 was a computer-generated forgery.

Now, Arpaio says investigators are positive it's fraudulent.

Mike Zullo, the posse's chief investigator, said numeric codes on certain parts of the birth certificate indicate that those parts weren't filled out, yet those sections asking for the race of Obama's father and his field of work or study were completed.

Zullo said investigators previously didn't know the meaning of codes but they were explained by a 95-year-old former state worker who signed the president's birth certificate... Keep on reading...

Video: Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Will Continue To Enforce State Immigration Laws

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is still defiant...

DOJ plans to ratchet up the political persecution of Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio

Obama's DOJ to sue Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and his office for enforcing immigration law. They call that a civil rights violation.

Via ABC News:

Federal authorities said Wednesday that they plan to sue Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and his office over allegations of civil rights violations, including the racial profiling of Latinos.

The U.S. Justice Department has been seeking an agreement requiring Arpaio's office to train officers in how to make constitutional traffic stops, collect data on people arrested in traffic stops and reach out to Latinos to assure them that the department is there to also protect them.

Arpaio has denied the racial profiling allegations and has claimed that allowing a court monitor would mean that every policy decision would have to be cleared through an observer and would nullify his authority.

If you want to know the real reason, watch the video posted below.

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio tells Obama's DOJ to go pound sand

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has rejected an Obama DOJ demand to allow a racial profiling spy monitor.

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has rejected a U.S. Justice Department demand for an independent monitor to address allegations of rampant discrimination against Latinos in his office's police and jail operations.

The controversial Maricopa County sheriff and the DOJ had been preparing to negotiate ways to remedy alleged discrimination found in a three-year federal investigation of the sheriff's office, The Arizona Republic reports.

A top Justice Department attorney told Arpaio's lawyers this week that agreement on an independent monitor was critical for continuing negotiations and avoiding a lawsuit.

Arpaio, however, flatly rejected such a monitor Tuesday, calling it a political attempt by President Obama's administration to take control of daily operations in his office. Keep on reading...

Sheriff Joe Arpaio to hold another press conference about investigation into Obama's alleged forged BC and Selective Service registration card

The press conference will be March 31 at 1:00 PM. (Mountain time?)

Via Western Journalism:

When:   Saturday, March 31, 2012 (meeting starts at 1:00 pm sharp.)
Where:  Church on the Green
19051 R.H. Johnson Blvd.
Sun City West, AZ

Sheriff Joe Arpaio and lead Investigator Mike Zullo (Zullo to be confirmed), of the MCSO Cold Case Posse will present their preliminary findings and updates to the investigation of the Selective Service System Registration form and Certificate of Live Birth for President Barack H. Obama II. This is the information that the national media will not report for fear of sanctions by the federal government.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Requests Selective Service to Investigate Obama's Alleged Forged Selective Service Registration Form

Sheriff Joe has given the Selective Service 30 days to respond. He should prepare his next move, because they will ignore him regardless of the evidence.

PHOENIX -- Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has sent a letter to the Director of the U.S. Selective Service System headquarters in Arlington, Virginia requesting the agency to conduct an investigation into Barack Obama's Selective Service registration form from 1980.

This comes after the preliminary findings of Arpaio's six- month investigation that determined it may a forgery.
The letter also asks for an original form so forensic document examiners can analyze the document for authenticity.

Apraio claims he is just doing his job, and isn't targeting the president.

Notice the difference in Obama's and another one from the same time/area. Obama's year date stamp is 08 only and off center. This was made by buying a 2008 stamp and cutting it imperfectly in half and turning it upside down. Sheriff Joe's Cold Case Posse was able to duplicate this on video. (Note: 1980 stamps of this type are no longer available) No one has been able to produce an authentic registration with a two digit year Post Office date stamp.

Poll Shocker: Half Of Americans Are Not Convinced Obama's Birth Certificate Is Authentic

Is Sheriff Joe Arpaio getting some traction?

(WND)- Half of Americans are unconvinced that Barack Obama’s birth certificate, released in 2011 at the White House amidst fanfare and proclamation that it is “proof positive” of Obama’s eligibility to be president, is authentic.

About the same number disbelieve his eligibility to be president, and the skeptics also say he has not provided adequate and “authentic” documentation about his qualifications to sit as commander in chief in the Oval Office.

The confirmation numbers are the newest on the long running debate over Obama’s eligibility and occupancy of the presidency, and are from a WND/Wenzel Poll conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies. Keep on reading...

Obamabot pleads guilty to threatening to kill Sheriff Joe Arpaio

This is what happens when you start delving into Obama's hidden records. The guy who got Obama's passport records was found shot to death in a car in Washington, D,C. The crime has never been solved.

PHOENIX — A man described as a President Barack Obama fanatic pleads guilty to threatening to kill Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Adam Eugene Cox appeared in a Tennessee courtroom on Wednesday.
He was arrested last year for a death threat that began on the Internet.

Cox threatened to kill the sheriff and his family.

Cox will not go to jail. He was sentenced to supervised probation.

Irony: Pravda Takes American Media to Task for Being Obama's Lapdog

Whatever you think of the validity of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's allegation President Obama may be using a forged birth certificate and selective service card, Pravda has a good point. If one of the country's most famous lawmen had investigated President Bush and declared documents he had presented to the public to be forged, the media would have questioned him mercilessly about it and demanded to be allowed to examine the original documents. In the case of President Obama, they questioned the sheriff mercilessly about his motives. That is very telling.

(Pravda)- A singularly remarkable event has taken place in the United States of America. This event occurred in Arizona on March 1st and was an earth shattering revelation.

A long awaited press conference was given by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a five time elected Sheriff, which should have made national and international headlines. Arpaio's credentials include serving in the United States Army from 1950 to 1953, service as a federal narcotics agent serving in countries all over the world with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and served as the head of the Arizona DEA. Without doubt, this is a serious Law Enforcement Officer, not one to be taken in by tin-foil-hat wearing loons.

Yet, in the five days since his revelations there has been little in the way of serious reporting on the findings he presented in his presser. With 6 short videos, the Sheriff and his team presented a devastating case, one the tame US press is apparently unable to report.

On April 27, 2011, President Barack walked into the White House Press room with a Cheshire cat like grin and a "Long Form Birth Certificate" from the State of Hawaii in hand. From the podium in the press room, Mr. Obama said, "We're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers,". Quite the barb from a man holding a forged document.

That's right, forged.[...]

One can easily imagine the reaction of the press had this scenario been about George W. Bush in 2004.

On the contrary, the press itself forged documents regarding the 43rd President: Long term CBS newsman Dan Rather lost his credibility along with his job when he presented forged Air National Guard documents allegedly denigrating the president's service in the 1970's. One can imagine the glee evidence presented by law enforcement officials of a real forgery made by President Bush would have generated. The press feeding frenzy would have eclipsed that of Watergate, the most controversial political event in modern America history which led to the resignation of President Nixon in August of 1974.

The questions in the White House Press room would have been merciless to say the very least.

What has been the response from the Obama era press?


Silence.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Cold Case Posse: Obama's Birth certificate a Likely Fraud

Hmm... They are recommending the investigation be elevated to a criminal probe.

 Via WND:

PHOENIX – An investigative “Cold Case Posse” launched six months ago by “America’s toughest sheriff” – Joe Arpaio of Arizona’s Maricopa County – has concluded there is probable cause that the document released by the White House last year as President Obama’s birth certificate is a computer-generated forgery.

The investigative team has asked Arpaio, who is at a news conference in Phoenix live-streamed by WND TV that began at 3 p.m. Eastern time, to elevate the investigation to a criminal probe that will make available the resources of his Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

The posse says it has identified at least one person of interest in the alleged forgery of Obama’s birth certificate.

Arapaio, known for his strict enforcement of immigration laws, commissioned the investigative team after local citizens presented him with a petition expressing concern that Obama might not be eligible for Arizona’s presidential ballot.[...]

In addition, investigators say they have developed credible evidence that President Obama’s Selective Service card was a forgery, based on an examination of the postal date stamp on the document. Also, records of Immigration and Naturalization Service cards filled out by passengers arriving on international flights originating outside the United States in the month of August 1961, examined at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., are missing records for the week of President Obama’s birth.

Interesting: Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio will release the Obama birth certificate 'Cold Case Posse' findings on March 1st

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is hinting he has something interesting. Time will tell.

Via The Hill:

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio will reveal the findings of his office's investigation into the authenticity of President Obama's birth certificate on March 1, he announced Tuesday.

"Once again I take my elected sheriff's status very serious and when the people ask me to do something, I try to do it regardless of the repercussions, the politics," Arpaio said Tuesday at the Maricopa County Republican Party Lincoln Day Lunch and Straw Poll. "So on March 1st I will have a press conference and reveal what we found out during that investigation. And I don't have press conferences just to have my name on television."

Obama's DHS cuts off Sheriff Joe's access to immigration status records

Team Obama really don't want immigration law enforced. i am surprised they didn't think of this tactic earlier.

(TPM)- The Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement just cut off the Maricopa County’s Sheriff’s Office’s access to the Secure Communities program and terminated an agreement which lets them detain individuals in the country illegally after their initial arrest.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement that the decision was based on the Justice Department’s findings of discriminatory policing practices by MCSO and Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

“Discrimination undermines law enforcement and erodes the public trust. DHS will not be a party to such practices,” Napolitano said. “Accordingly, and effective immediately, DHS is terminating MCSO’s 287(g) jail model agreement and is restricting the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office access to the Secure Communities program.”

The 287(g) jail model agreement is the program which allows officers to screen individuals they arrest for immigration status and put detainers on them once they have been booked into jail. The restrictions on Maricopa County’s Sheriff’s Office means that when the office sends data into the FBI after they book someone they wouldn’t get any data back about their immigration status back.

Rumor: Sheriff Joe Arpaio to endorse and campaign for Rick Perry

Reportedly, Rick Perry will receive the endorsement of “America’s Toughest Sheriff” this week.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., who calls himself “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” will endorse Texas Gov. Rick Perry next week, a source with knowledge of the endorsement told ABC News.

Arpaio espouses a hard-line stance on illegal immigration, leading raids to round up and jail illegal immigrants, and was a major proponent of the controversial Arizona immigration law. Perry has spoken with Arpaio several times over the phone since entering the presidential race.

Arpaio, a much sought after endorsement in the GOP field, plans to campaign with Perry in New Hampshire next week, the source said. The Texas governor will be in the Granite State Tuesday and Wednesday, holding three town halls and a breakfast at the Nashua Chamber of Commerce along with speaking at the New Hampshire State House.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio on investigation into Obama's social security number: " there could be a shock there somewhere that my guys came up with"

Arizona  Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has convened a posse to investigate allegations President Obama is using a fraudulent social security number and forged birth certificate. He is playing his cards close to the vest, but he has strongly hinted there is a problem with the social security number.

Tuesday night, speaking to a tea-party group in Arizona, Arpaio said, "I can't tell you everything, but there could be a shock there somewhere that my guys came up with. I can't talk too much about it. It's in the process."...

The posse, assembled under the authority of Arpaio's office, consists of three former law enforcement officers and two retired attorneys with law enforcement experience. Members have been examining evidence since September concerning Obama's eligibility to be president under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, which requires a president to be a natural-born citizen.

He referenced disputes over the Social Security number attributed to the president and said, "There are a couple of things you and nobody else here knows anything about yet that could be a little bit exciting."

WND and others have claimed proof that President Obama's social security number was issued in Connecticut when Barry Obama was a teenager living in Hawaii. Also, President Obama's social security number is flagged when entered into the new E-Verify system.
