Date: Wednesday April 27, 2011 (half spin into the weekend to silence opposition)
Context: President Obama released his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii, confirming his birth in Honolulu, in response to ongoing rumors about his birthplace.
Killing of Osama bin Laden:
Date: Monday May 2, 2011 (full spin to start the week and bury all news from previous week)
Context: Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda and the orchestrator of the September 11 attacks, was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Death of Hawaii Health Official, Loretta Fuddy:
Date: Wednesday December 11, 2013 (halfspin into weekend)
Context: Loretta Fuddy, the Hawaii Health Director who confirmed the authenticity of President Obama's birth certificate, died in a small plane crash off the coast of Molokai, Hawaii. She was the only fatality among the nine people on board.
CIA Leadership in the Operation: The mission to kill Osama bin Laden was not a conventional military operation; it was primarily a CIA-led operation. The CIA's involvement was crucial, especially since the operation occurred in a sovereign nation (Pakistan) where the U.S. was not officially at war. This is significant because it demonstrates the CIA's role in conducting high-profile operations abroad, even in non-war situations.
Nature of the Operation: Conducted by U.S. Navy SEALs, this covert mission was a targeted killing rather than a judicial or political process. The operation was executed without the prior knowledge or consent of the Pakistani government.
Burial Method: Bin Laden's burial at sea within 24 hours of his death deviated from traditional state funerals. The U.S. claimed adherence to Islamic law for quick burial and to avoid his grave becoming a shrine, though this decision was controversial and disputed by some Islamic scholars.
Lack of Public Disclosure: The U.S. government chose not to release photos of bin Laden's body, a decision that diverged from past practices (like the release of images of Saddam Hussein's sons) due to concerns about their graphic nature and potential to incite violence.
No Trial or Judicial Process: Bin Laden was killed in the raid, forgoing any trial. This direct action approach sparked debate regarding its legality and ethical implications under international law.
DNA Confirmation and Controversy: DNA testing was used to confirm bin Laden's identity, comparing it with his relatives' DNA. The speed and confidentiality of the testing process led to skepticism and controversy, raising questions about the results' reliability and transparency. No photos or DNA were ever released to the public.
Some of the most notable supporters of this theory included:
Donald Trump: Before his presidency, Donald Trump was one of the most prominent figures promoting the birther conspiracy, frequently questioning Obama's birthplace in interviews and on social media.
Orly Taitz: Known as the "Queen of the Birthers," Taitz, a lawyer and dentist, filed multiple lawsuits questioning Obama's eligibility to be President.
Jerome Corsi: An author and political commentator, Corsi wrote a book titled "Where's the Birth Certificate?" which questioned Obama's birthplace.
Joe Arpaio: The former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, Arpaio conducted an investigation into Obama's birth certificate.
Mike Zullo: Working with Joe Arpaio, Zullo was the lead investigator of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office's probe into Obama's birth certificate.
Alan Keyes: A perennial political candidate, Keyes questioned Obama's eligibility to serve as President due to doubts about his place of birth.
Phil Berg: A former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, Berg filed one of the first "birther" lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility for the presidency.
Andy Martin: A self-described "internet journalist," Martin is credited with originating the rumor about Obama's birthplace in 2004.
Lou Dobbs: The former CNN anchor repeatedly raised questions about Obama's birth certificate on his TV show.
Rush Limbaugh: The late conservative radio host occasionally discussed the birther claims on his program, further fueling the conspiracy.
