There's exciting news in the world of Orly Taitz, but WorldNetDaily, as per usual, doesn't want its readers to know about it.
The affidavit by Lucas Smith alleging that Taitz attempted to suborn perjury from him and another fringe figure, Larry Sinclair, has been released. Statements about Taitz's sex life aside, the affidavit contains some interesting claims:
Smith claims that Taitz said that Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, supplied her with the copy of the "Kenyan birth certificate" she released in August and WND immediately promoted, at least until it decided that the certificate was a fraud.
Smith claims that Taitz asked to lie about fellow birther lawyer Gary Kreep.
Smith claims that it "became apparent" to him that Taitz "had absolutely no intentions of conducting any research or analysis for her civil action case against President Barack Obama," insisting that the burden was on Obama to disprove the authenticity of her "Kenyan birth certificate" as well as another one Smith clamed to have. Smith also claims that Taitz's birth certificate is a fake "and that Orly Taitz has known it was a fake from the outset."
Of course, Smith has his own credibility problems as well -- in his affidavit, he repeated calls himself "the STAR WITNESS and KEYSTONE to this case against Obama." Plus, he has a lengthy criminal record.
But remember, WND believes that if Smith makes a claim in an affidavit, it must be true. Even though it had determined that Smith's Kenyan birth certificate was fake, it returned to Smith's side after he filed an affidavit "insisting – under threat of perjury – that the Obama birth certificate in his possession is the genuine article."
By that same standard, WND should be reporting on Smith's new affidavit. But it's not. The Orly Taitz protection racket continues!
