Back to Basics

Neil Abercrombie, Dem. Governor of Hawaii & long-time friend of Obama family members, said he would obtain Obama’s original Hawaiian Dept.of Health Birth Certificate (Certificate of Live Birth) to settle the Presidential issue for good. Two weeks later, he now says that no Birth Certificate was found in Hawaii’s records, only a “written notation” mentioning Obama’s birth. Shades of the 1940′s “Kilroy was here” fad; a “written signature put on buildings, bridges, trains, etc.to satirically imply a mystical figure had been there! Hawaii’s fruitless search did serve one useful purpose, making a lie of Obama’s previous statements that the “Certification of Live Birth(COLB) which he posted on the Daily Kos website was a “true copy” of the Health Dept. Birth Certificate, now apparently non-existent.

A 1961 Hawaiian “Certificate of Live Birth had approx. 42 points of required info while Obama’s COLB had about 13, glaringly lacking a birth hospital name, birth certificate number, doctor’s name, witnesses names, etc. I cannot over-emphasize the significance of the next sentence. Obama, a Constitutional teacher, clearly knew beforehand that his limited COLB was either fraudulent or only able to confirm “naturalized citizenship” status and that Our Constitution (Article 2, Sec.1) limited Presidential eligibility to natural-born Americans, hence the need of a “Certificate of Live Birth”. If, as Obama said, his COLB was a copy of the Hawaiian Birth Certificate both documents would have been COLB’s and both thereby unacceptable for eligibility purposes. Also, the Hawaiian Director of Health, Dr.Chiyome Fukino (ret.) declared years before: “I have personally seen & verified that the Hawaii State Dept.of Health has (then Senator) Obama’s original birth certificate on record, in accordance with State policies & procedures.” What “policy or procedure” enables one to see and verify a document which appears to have never existed? In fairness, when Obama recently asked: “Should I paste my birth certificate on my forehead?” I sympathized with him since he already had produced four different versions of it (“if at first you don’t succeed, try,try again.”) and could not possibly fit all four on his forehead.

THE PLOT THICKENS

I previously wrote eight letters on this issue, sending them to thousands. In addition, all mentioned in these letters received copies but none challenged or even acknowledged my words. I am no scholar but after eighteen years of writing I have found that many deny truth by their silence. The Media silence is a notable shame. With few exceptions they treat Obama’s birth certificate issue as a non-issue. They ridicule the now over 50 percent questioning his legitimacy in nationwide polls, using “birthers” as a dismissive term to ridicule faithful Constitutional Defenders. They call challengeers “fringe groups,radicals, racial bigots (are you listening Alan Keyes?), or treasonable, misguided people. For about twenty-five dollars Obama might have put this issue to rest by producing a “Certificate of Live Birth” for verification of authenticity, but chose to spend millions in legal fees (not counting Court costs) to prevent such disclosure and now Hawaii cannot find any legitimate record of his birth.

Come in to hear The Dumbest Statement Concerning Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell; Jailing of Faithful Army Officer Over Obama’s Non-Birth Certificate; Suicide-The Holidays and Bernard Madoff; The Real Reason for The Push of “Global Warming,” and the last of the political dynasty clan, Patrick Kennedy, is Leaving office which will leave us without a Kennedy in public office for the first time in 50 years!

The Lame-Brain Duck Congress, determined to deal a final blow to America before leaving D.C. managed to push through the Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell repeal, meaning that “gays” can now flit about the barracks and showers displaying their homosexual desires to all service personnel. The most stupid remark regarding the passage came from a man I have met, talked with and personally liked, Senator Joe Lieberman, who backed the “coming out” bill and said this:  “People will look back 25 or 30 years from now and say, I cannot believe that there was a time when Americans were not allowed to serve in the military because of something very private, like their sexual orientation.”

How’s that again? Senator Lieberman, if this was something very private then there would be no problem and they would not demand to flaunt their peculiarities. This very bill shows that they do not WANT their sexual orientation to be private. They want to openly cruise the barracks and showers. This hurts since I had such respect for Joe Lieberman who at one time had the goal to become a rabbi, and after talking with him,  felt that he would have been an excellent rabbi.  I no longer think that.

The holidays are always challenging to this chaplain since this is a time of year that clearly marks and divides each period of our lives and a time when some loved ones who were here the year before are no longer here now. This hits hard to so many who have a heavy heart in the midst of the gaiety of the holiday celebrations while others during that time reflect on the raw deal they feel life has dealt them and the desired success and love that has eluded them.  This time of year is a chaplain’s busiest time.

This holiday season began right before Thanksgiving with a suicide of a 20 year old young woman. I wish I had been called before it happened since God has graced this ministry with a 100% success rate with suicide prevention.  I spent hours with the family and did the funeral for her. The funeral home was so packed, that there wasn’t even standing room left, even though there was not a word in the papers about it. This is how much that young woman was loved by everyone who knew her, yet, she suddenly felt life was no longer worth living. Tragic!

Bernie Madoff, the most heartless, ruthless criminal in history who’s consciousless Ponzi Scheme wiped out the life savings of numerous people and organizations, including one helping holocaust victims and other Jewish organizations, of over $20 billion dollars. His own people!

Now here’s an interesting lesson into the act of civil disobedience. Bomb the Pentagon, lead a domestic terrorist group that was responsible for 30 bombings, destruction of property and deaths, and suggest that you cannot rule out committing additional bombings, you become a folk hero of the radical left, a close confidant of a sitting president, and hold a position as a professor in higher academia.

Alternatively, give your country nearly 18 years of unblemished military service as a high ranking military officer until you request proof that the orders you are given are, in fact, made by someone with the ultimate authority to do so, you are stripped of your military rank, your liberties, your income, your pension, your freedom and are sentenced to Leavenworth.

Welcome to the new paradigm of civil disobedience, Chicago style, and where self-proclaimed conservative warriors are more AWOL than Lt. Col. Lakin on the issue of Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to hold office.

The Washington Examiner published a powerful article by columnist Diana West today about Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, the army surgeon who attempted to verify the Constitutional legitimacy of the deployment orders he received. For his efforts, however questionable in both tactic and venue, this highly decorated military leader was sentenced to serve time in Leavenworth. As Ms. West so eloquently concluded, the guilty verdict against Lt. Col. Lakin settles nothing, except, perhaps, that such challenges within the ranks will not be tolerated.

The most basic question of whether Barack Hussein Obama is Constitutionally eligible to hold office and issue orders to the most powerful military in the world remains unaddressed and unanswered. Accordingly, it remains a national security issue of the highest magnitude.

As I wrote last week, Lt. Col. Lakin chose a particular path to compel, once and for all, Barack Hussein Obama to provide authenticated proof that he is qualified to issue orders to the U.S.  military as the Commander in Chief. It was arguably not the best path to choose in a system that was rigged from the start, but at least this man had the grit to put everything on the line for the sake of the U.S. Constitution and ultimately, every American citizen.

Now, Lt. Col Lakin will be paying the price for his actions. One positive although surely unintended consequence of the Lakin case, however, is that it has clearly exposes the wretched hypocrisy of the progressives and their corporate media mouthpieces as well as the duplicity and dissimulation of many so-called conservatives. So that Lt. Col. Lakin’s efforts are not entirely in vain, I believe closer examination into this aspect of the case is necessary.

Ms. West wrote that Lakin’s actions ultimately fell “into the category of civil disobedience, breaking the law to uphold higher principle.” If history has taught us anything, it has shown that acts of civil disobedience and breaking the law to uphold a higher principle are the very tactics that are enthusiastically embraced and praised by the progressives.

The new omnibus spending bill now being proposed as the last “shove it down their unthankful throats and choke ‘em to death” thrown together and not read by the Marxist/Leninist Democrat leaders, is designed to destroy the rest of life as we had known it in the USA. That is the life before the totalitarians with their “you work for us punks!” attitudes took over and began decimating everything that was honorable about OUR country. It is time for them to leave the US Capitol building — forever.

This latest blight designed to end the last vestiges of the USA includes (but is most definitely not limited to) earmarks and unregulated pork spending, the DREAM Act (amnesty) the faux “Food Safety Bill” (which resuscitates the previously removed Orwellian language giving the ObamaGov total control over the country’s food supply including severe limitations on individuals growing food themselves and the distribution and purchase of vitamin supplements), funding for ObamaCare (the Left wants to ensure their enslavement of We-the-People is not thwarted by Conservatives coming into Congress) and language ensuring the Democrats will retain rule and sway over the money and the people despite the Republicans taking power of the House of Representatives in January 2011. In other words, this new $1+ TRILLIONS bill proposed by the Marxist/Leninist Party says “We told you elections mean nothing to us! We will remain in control whether you so-called ‘people’ like it or not!”

This proposal must not be passed, in any way shape or form. It must be stopped and shelved — period. A continuing resolution can be passed giving the government money to continue to operate until next month when the new folks take over from the old decaying communists (formerly known as Democrats and RINOs). Note: There are still more of these parasites left in Congress — and of course the Executive branch — and they must be handled in upcoming elections. And, speaking of RINOS, We-the-People know the “emergency passing of the continued tax rates, more unemployment insurance and more earmarks” was not an emergency and could have waited until the new Congress was seated. We also know who demanded it and compromised before conservatives could be sworn in.

And for you leaders in the Marxist/Leninist/Dem Party, we saw how you and your usurper in the Executive branch (if he’s there legally — have him prove it) destroyed businesses and millions and millions of jobs, in order to quickly bring about the US Welfare State — so that ALL become dependent upon the ‘good will’ of their unwanted and unwelcome rulers. We watched while you refused to listen to us when we shouted “NO ObamaCare and no Cap & Tax!” But, you ignored us, shoved ObamaCare down our throats and the Dictator-in-Chief said “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” referencing the people’s demands against Cap & Trade and placed it (via “Executive Order”) in the hands of his now totally-controlled EPA.

Sadly, there seems to be more talk about ineligibility on any given Sunday during football season in the U.S. than about one of the most important issues in America today.  It’s the issue that still hasn’t gone away, despite the best attempts of politicians, media pundits, and well known talk show hosts from both sides of the political aisle. It’s the issue of the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to occupy the highest elected office in the United States.

Many Republicans and conservatives, under the influence of their Kool-Aide induced agendas, have described the eligibility issue as a “distraction” from the real issues. The majority of Democrats and progressives, for obvious reasons, have resorted to associating the issue with race,  bigotry and hatred. Together, detractors of this issue from both sides have engaged in the methodical marginalization of the message and mocking those who dare act as the messengers.

What could be more fundamentally important than ensuring that the person at the helm of our country, the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military in the world, the holder of the keys to the nation’s nuclear lockbox is indeed constitutionally eligible to hold this office? I see more outrage on Sunday afternoons by grown men living vicariously by dressing up in the jersey of their favorite football player when a receiver is declared ineligible.

Despite rabid and consistently incorrect assertions to the contrary, Barack Hussein Obama has not provided one single item of authenticated evidence to prove that he is a natural born citizen and thusly qualified to be president as defined by Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution.  Not only has he not provided such documentation, he has fought long and hard, and spent what many reliable reports suggest as well over a million dollars against releasing his birth certificate and numerous other documents relevant to his background.

It is not within the scope of this article nor is it my intent to discuss the definition of natural born citizen, the “Vattell Theory,” or other technical matters related to this issue beyond this one fact: Obama could have been born in the middle of the White House lawn at noon on a crowded weekday with John, Jackie and Rose Kennedy serving as witnesses, and with Teddy serving the drinks, but that, by itself, does not make him eligible to hold the office of President of the United States.

While the so-called men in our country are busily fretting over the news that Brett Favre is ending his NFL streak, there is one real man, an American patriot, whose own unblemished record is also coming to an end today. His name is Lt. Col. Terrence “Terry” Lakin, an Army flight surgeon with 18 years of honorable service to our country. His military court martial begins today, and by all accounts, he will be spending the next one to five years in Leavenworth.

In terms of contemporary history, I’d sadly wager that Favre has better name recognition than Lakin.

Under duress, President Obama said “I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehand.” He brought up the subject. Let us examine it.

Obama has spent over a million dollars in cases to obscure, or outright stop cold any statement that demands bringing his history to light.

Starting with Obama’s education, the Hawaii’s Department of Education, has lost his classes.  His Kindergarten records would have contained several records.  Obama’s real Birth Certificate would have been there.  It would have contained his legal parents or legal guardians names, date of birth, location of birth, and vaccinations.  For all his life he has attended expensive private schools, all of which have been sealed.  Since he has been featured in photographs about the time he attended Kindergarten, what happened to Obama?

But, there are more records that should be there.  Where are the records of Harvard Law, Harvard Law Review, Columbia University, Columbia thesis, and Occidental College.  Where are the articles from the University of Chicago.  Years of records from his years of an U.S. state senator, Illinois State Bar Association, adoption and baptism records.

We’ve been told that Obama is very intelligent, and he may be, but there is nothing here to prove it.  No accolades, nothing.

Several cases are before the courts, or in the process of being dismissed.  The third U.S. Court of Appeals, in the case of threatened sanctions against attorney Mario Apuzzo, is one such case.  When Apuzzo brought it to the court’s attention, however, being subjected to penalties and sanctions would allow him the right to discovery in the case.  That possibly would include Obama’s birth certificate.

In the case of discovery-of-evidence, John Hemenway, was threatened with a federal judge with sanctions for bringing a challenge to Obama’s presidency.

U.S. Col. Terrence Lakin’s case is the most interesting.  Let’s listen to James H. Roberson.  Dated Sept. 23, 2010, he asks:  “Is the ’Fix’ Already In For Lt. Lakin?  If So, What Do We Do?”

“Lt. Col Lakin (M.D. – Active Army) – first asked the Army to affirm that Obama was constitutionally eligible to serve as President, and when his chain of command refused, he then refused to deploy to Afghanistan until ’eligibility’ was established (to force the issue to a head).  Lakin’s argument is simple and direct:  a soldier must not be compelled to obey an ‘unlawful order’; an ‘ineligible’ person cannot Serve as President and Commander-in-Chief and, thus cannot issue ‘lawful orders’.  He has thereby laid his liberty and whole career on the line in order to honor his Oath to Support and Defend the Constitution (especially Article II, Section 1, Clause 5), which must not be violated!

…….Col.

In just a few days on October 13, 2010, U. S. Army Lt. Colonel Terrence Lakin, Chief of Primary Care and Flight Surgeon charged with caring for Army Chief of Staff General Casey’s pilots and air crew will stand to a military courts martial trial with charges consisting of “missing movement” and of refusing to obey orders to which he will plead “Not Guilty” because of his conviction that our Commander-in-Chief may be ineligible under the United States Constitution to serve in that highest of all offices.

LTC Lakin is on the promotion list to the rank of full Colonel and is a veteran of 18 consecutive years of military service in Honduras, Bosnia, El Salvador, Korea and Afghanistan, during which he has received numerous awards and decorations including the Army Flight Surgeon Badge, Combat Medical Badge, the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters signifying subsequent awards, the National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Armed Forces Expedition Medal, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, the Army Service and Overseas Service Ribbons sixth award and the NATO Service Medal.

After reading the above, I think you will agree, even if you may perhaps have some reservations as to the charges that this exemplary fine specimen of a military gentleman should be given all due courtesy and consideration to present his case to the Army Board of Courts Martial.

But there has been considerable evidence presented to indicate that many on the opposite side of this contest do not intend to be as courteous or respective of LTL Lakin’s impeccable service.

In fact, after reading some of the reviews written on the handling of his case, I am beginning to wonder if we might perhaps be witnessing the future of trials once Muslim Sharia Law takes effect with our President’s blessings; less beheadings pray tell.  Another descriptive title of the early hearings are fairly consistent with the goings-on of a good ‘ole boys Kangaroo Court.

During hearings at Fort Meade, MD, an Army Judge, Colonel Denise Lind, according to LTC Lakin’s attorney Paul R. Jensen, made it “impossible” for a career medical officer to get a fair hearing on charges he refused to deploy to Afghanistan because of concern that obeying orders in the chain of command under an ineligible commander in chief would be illegal.

When Judge Lind refused to allow defense plans to present evidence regarding President Obama’s eligibility to serve as POTUS, claiming that those documents might prove “embarrassing” to the president,

Frankly, I’m embarrassed for her, Col. Lind, not the usurper.

But first; does one actually exist in our country?  From all appearances it would not seem that a judge who would rule fairly and constitutionally on the question of eligibility of Barack H. Obama to rule as President and Commander in Chief of our armed services can be found.

As reported online in the American Grand Jury article “Md. Judge Denies Request for Obama’s School Records” (that could include a copy of Obama’s birth certificate) September 02, 2010 it becomes obvious there are none.

Our collection of judges may have many, if not all, who could be in a position of being able to rule fairly and Constitutionally on such a question as Obama’s eligibility but finding just one who is not in fear of making such a ruling or is not in the pockets of those who favor leaving the question unanswered, as the presidential usurper does, is doubtful.  Just ask attorneys Phillip Berg or Orly Taitz who have seen judges turn on them for trying.

I am of the opinion that most of our judges who swear to uphold the Constitution before they can become a judge, rapidly determine not to uphold it once they have their plum of acceptance because if they practiced law in accordance with that all-important document they could not legislate from their position on the bench as they all do once the ego factor consumes any common sense they may have once had.

Now we have another self-important judge, Army Col. Denise R. Lind, ruling against a decorated veteran of our military forces, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin; an 18 year career of bravery and honor and unconditional service to our country, and an obviously intimidated and cowardly court official in fear of ruling against a sitting president, deciding that it was “not relevant” for the military to be considering such claims.

Basically, what that means is that if you are in the military you no longer have protection under the Constitution; that very document that you swore to uphold on entry into military service.  This spineless dispenser of judicial equality feels that the chain of command in the military that led up to the Pentagon should have been sufficient for Lt. Col. Lakin.  Apparently overlooked by this judge was that Obama, as Commander in Chief, is the overall authority for all the military services.

To say that the authority ends at the Pentagon is grossly incorrect.  That is like saying that the chain of command for family discipline leads up to the oldest son, instead of the father.  Obama makes a big point of being the Commander in Chief and though never having had to render a salute in all of his life before, now relishes in returning the salute from the military people as he debarks from Air Force One.

And if Judge Lind is correct, what is the purpose in having people entering the military service swear to uphold the Constitution?  Why swear to uphold something that does not apply to you?
