Laity has a blah blah tribute to Strunky on the funeral home's website as do other fellow travelers. Y'all know the sort of defending the people crap these nutters write.

Hm. You'd have thought Laity or Rondeau herself would have written something on the Post & Fail, but they're too self-centered for that, perhaps. :fingerwag: Where's Rondeau's appreciation of her duty as a professional* journalist** to inform her reader(s)?

Although I now expect bob to use his privileged access to Rondeau's archives to inform us that they did. :(

Obit:
Chris later concentrated on continuing his Crusade, his true passion, ever tenacious, hard working, investigative, seeking truth and justice, helping and working with those whose paths intersected his. His body of work is enormous and unfinished.
Such euphemisms for being a cantankerous, litigious birther.

My first (generous) thought in reading the obit was "that's not too bad" but then I thought "hold on! that's the best that family could find to say about him and his deeds and accomplishments in a longish lifetime!"

Or perhaps they didn't really care? Maybe Strunky's crazy obsessions had alienated him from family, so the author thought "oh, I suppose we need to write something polite for the old boy, but I really can't be bothered."

I now recall that Strunky got slapped with pretty hefty sanctions in the NY courts for filing a frivolous case against the State Board of Elections and others. I think it was decided in 2013. I bet he never paid them.

Sharon Rondeau included in an article about a FOAD letter to Laity:
Yet another reference is to a lawsuit filed by the late Christopher Strunk which Johnson said “accused NYSBOE of failing to ascertain that President Obama was a natural-born citizen.”

The case, Strunk v. New York State Board of Elections, named not only the NYSBOE as a defendant, but also then-U.S. Senator John McCain; the Working Families Party of New York State; The New York State Republican State Committee; Democratic State Committee of the State of New York; then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and many other individuals and entities.

Strunk was unsuccessful in his complaint accusing the defendants of “fraud” in regard to the presidency and 2012 candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama.

Strunk sure was a maniac.

Jack Osborne aka Trader Jack - November 11, 1922 - May 12, 2023

Trader Jack was probably the oldest living Birther. He was a frequent commenter at Obama Conspiracy Theories, on my blog and several other places. I think he should be remembered for coming up with the stupid claim that white toner for copiers existed.

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/pr ... d=52255009

I never knew Jack's real name until he claimed to be 97 years old. I was dubious so I did some research and found his real name was Jack Osborne from Santa Rosa, CA. His age actually checked out.

He was knowledgeable in some areas but was a troll. I think Doc C finally banned him.

Ah, yes, Traitor Jack. It had been quite a while since we last heard from him.

He last commented on my blog in late 2018. He was an amateur radio operator, which was actually how I found him. He used the same email address to post on some ham radio forums.

Yes, I remember him there too.

It fixed his obit:
...After retirement, Jack became a City Council watcher, aptly nicknamed "Brown Act Jack." He loved Plato, opera, poetry and a good debate being a Birther troll ....
I had to look up the Brown Act. It is a California law that requires public participation to be allowed in city council meetings.

White toner was the claim from Hermatian, aka Henry, who was from Oak Ridge or worked there at some time in history. He passed a few years back if I recall.

Oh yes, you are correct. It was Hermie. I am sure you meant "he passed". Yes, his name was actually Henry Blake. not to be confused with the other Henry Blake. Passed in 2017.
