O'Keefe and Giles have released another video refuting ACORN's claim that they tried the the p1mp and prostitute act in Philly and were "thrown out" or "shown the door". The tape also refutes a few other "misstatements" made by ACORN. The video ends with the familiar words "to be continued..." leading viewers with the impression that there is/are more to come. However the ending statement may also be due to the fact that ACORN has decided to sue O'Keefe and Giles-a move which I do not believe is in ACORN's best interest as the spotlight of truth is not something they want shining on their organization. I think some honest examination of what is going on is in order-

THE DATE STAMP

First the discrepancy with the date on the video-some who oppose the truth of ACORN and what these videos show about the corrupt organization try to make the argument that the date stamp shows these videos are phony and were possibly done many years earlier. That is erroneous reasoning because;

1. Hannah Giles would be 15 at the time and as her father (Doug Giles) pointed out he would not let his 15 year old do something like this.

2. If the videos were from 5 years ago then why is ACORN firing and suspending the employees involved-now?

3. If the videos are "doctored" then why has ACORN, and specifically Conway-Russell publicly refuted them when they could have just as easily exposed them for frauds?

4. The police report (which I believe to be legitimate) shows the date of July 24th 2009 which is the date specifically expressed by O‘Keefe on the video. Even the time written on the report (10:41 AM) would coincide with what O'Keefe had said about their time at the ACORN office.

5. What did Conway-Russell look like 5 years ago? Did she look the same as she does now?

More legitimate and logical reasoning would be that the date stamp is incorrect due to a malfunction or mis-programming of the hidden camera. I do not deal with hidden cameras on a daily basis so I am not sure which it would be.

THE POLICE REPORT

Some point out that Conway-Russell did file a police report and consequently Giles and O'Keefe were not welcome; This point might have some legitimacy as it is quite feasible that Conway-Russell was merely being polite so as not to cause a disturbance at the ACORN office; it is even possible that she scheduled an appointment at a later date in hopes that she could have the police there when they arrived. However, her credibility ends there;

1. The report states that Giles and O‘Keefe caused a disturbance which the video shows did not happen when they were at ACORN. I think a 32 minute disturbance would have been noticed by all and this would negate the first argument (above) of why she sat with them for so long. This brings up some questions-So was Conway-Russell making a ”misstatement“ on the police report? Did the officer filing the report simply misunderstand Conway-Russell? Why was a disturbance reported when there was none?  What are the laws in Philly for filing a false report or lieing on a report to the police?

2. "News" reports of "being shown the door" or "being thrown out" obviously don’t pan out. O'Keefe asks a very good question as to whether or not the "news" agencies and papers will print a correction and clarify what was reported. This also brings the credibility of those who made statements about Giles and O'Keefe being "thrown out" or "shown the door" into question. Like O'Keefe and Giles videos this blog post is "to be continued..." .

UPDATE;  The legibility oh the police report is not the best, so when I viewed it on my computer I was unable to tell the identity of the person making the report.  The police report was not filed by Conway-Russell but by someone named Keith Crosby.   This raises further questions;

Who is Keith Crosby? Was there a fourth "unseen person" in the video (doubtful)?  If Keith Crosby was not in the room how could he be considered an "eye-witness" to the "disturbance"?   Did Keith Crosby "hear" the "disturbance" from another room? If so; why didn't he call the police immediately or at least see what the "disturbance" was (in which case he would have been in the video)?  The video shows no apparent "disturbance" so why did Keith Crosby file a police report if there was no "disturbance"?

My condolences and prayers to the family and friends of John Tiller.  Also, my condolences and prayers to all families and friends of those murdered on the same day that are not mentioned or spotlighted by the media.

My comdolences and prayers for Ann Coulter, her family and their friends for her/their loss.  Also, my condolences and prayers to the Kellerman family and their friends for their loss as well.  It is my undertsanding that he was survived by a wife and daughter.

'I,_____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.'

(the National Guard oath is a little different, but not much-http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/a/oathofenlist.htm   )

The first part of that Oath states that they will support and defend the U.S Constitution against enemies both 'foreign and domestic', and that they will 'bear true faith and allegiance to the same'.  So, this begs the question, 'What will they do when the enemy of the U.S. Constitution proves to be "The One" who claims to be POTUS?'

Jesus is Standing in Pilate's Hall
(or What Will You Do with Jesus?)
Jesus is standing in Pilate's hall,
friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all;
hearken! what meaneth the sudden call?
What will you do with Jesus?

Refrain:
What will you do with Jesus?
neutral you cannot be;
some day your heart will be asking,
"What will he do with me?"

Jesus is standing on trial still,
you can be false to him if you will,
you can be faithful through good or ill:
what will you do with Jesus? Refrain

Will you evade him as Pilate tried?
Or will you choose him, whate'er betide?
Vainly you struggle from him to hide:
what will you do with Jesus? Refrain

Will you, like Peter, your Lord deny?
Or will you scorn from His foes to fly,
daring for Jesus to live or die?
What will you do with Jesus? Refrain

"Jesus, I give thee my heart today!
Jesus, I'll follow thee all the way,
gladly obeying thee!" will you say:
"this I will do with Jesus!" Refrain
