CNN Propaganda



For 3:32 minutes CNN host, Kitty Pilgrim, launched into a botched attempt at bolstering Obama's position on the lack of a long form birth certificate.


Dr. Keyes is interrupted but by 4:26 he is cut off from his position.


Orly Taitz is allowed a comment from 4:31 - 5:00.


Pro-Obama Errol Thomas speaks until 5:36.


From 5:37 - 6:04 John Avlon presents his ideas. The birth certificate advocates are not allowed to interject or question the pro-Obama John Avlon, or allowed to respond to Thomas. Taitz aske if she can respond and she is told "no." Avlon summarizes his point by stating the birth certificate advocates are "nuts."


Taitz tries to respond and has to interject but the CNN commentator gets to summarize
until the end of the piece at 6:39.


CNN has no objectivity whatsoever. They took up most of the time with a preview, then, had only short excerpts of what Taitz and Keyes had to say. They were not allowed to comment or respond.


CNN TRANSCRIPT

Kitty Pilgrim sitting in for Lou Dobbs, Orly Taitz, Alan Keyes, Errol Louis, John Avlon.

KITTY PILGRIM: Coming up, the discredited rumor that won’t go away. Now, questions about President Obama’s place of birth and his eligibility to be president.

PILGRIM: Well, an Army Reserve major is again raising controversy over President Obama’s place of birth. [It never went away.] Now, the Major challenged his deployment orders claiming that President Obama wasn’t born in the United States, and that renders his orders illegal.

Now, a former presidential candidate, Alan Keyes, also filed a lawsuit challenging the president’s right to hold the office, and a hearing on that suit will be held on Monday.

Now, questions about the president’s place of birth have been asked and answered many times since before the election, and the president’s birth certificate says he was born in Hawaii. [This is not factual. The only one who could make this point is Dr. Fukino and Alvin Onaka and they are not quoted on the record anywhere.] The state’s Republic governor and other officials have backed that up. [This is not true. All that was said about Gov. Lingle: "Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama's certificate be handled differently." Besides, they can't possibly know that and if they did they are legally unable to address the issue unless Barry gave them permission, which he has not.] CNN has fully investigated the issue, found no basis for the questions about the president’s birthplace, [This is ridiculous. They do not even know what hospital he was born in because Gibbs doesn't even know. The White House has produced conflicting statements about which hospital Barry was born in.] say but the controversy lives on, especially on the Internet.

Joining me now is Orly Taitz and she represents the Army major and filed the Keyes’ lawsuit. Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes joins us. And on the other side, John Avlon who is a columnist with the DailyBeast.com and author of “Independent Nation.” And Errol Louis, columnist for the “New York Daily News” and a CNN, also an attorney.

And so, let me, just before we start, bear with me a bit. There’s overwhelming evidence that proves that his birth certificate is real [This is not true. No genuine long form birth certificate has been made public.] and that was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. And if you’ll just bear with me, I’ll run through a little bit of the evidence and then we can get to this discussion. Now, the Annenberg political fact check, which is a nonpartisan group, [This is not true. Barry is directly connected to the Annenberg Foundation. He worked for the Chicago Anneberg Challenge with Bill Ayers. The fact that she doesn't knows this makes clear she does not understand the issue.] went to Chicago to view the birth certificate [If this actually happened then this is not what was photographed and placed on the internet.] last year and they released photos and this statement, “FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. [he lie is that they physically touched the original long form birth certificate. Even Gibbs admitted that that one-sided piece of paper is not a birth certificate. And again, if they did actually see the original long form birth certificate it is not what is posted on their website. They posted a Certification of Live Birth. These two documents are two different items.] We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. [State Department requirements do not include natural born status. There is a distinction between U.S. citizen status and a natural born citizen.] Our conclusion: Obama was born in the USA, [They can not possibly conclude the point based on the documentation so far released.] just has he has always said.”

The Republican governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, on record, she says Obama was indeed born in her state and we should note, she did support John McCain. [I have no idea what she is talking about. Politifact wrote: Even the governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, a Republican who at the time was stumping for John McCain, said it was on the up-and-up. But they - a factchecker - provided no direct quote or reference so it is meaningless.] So, we also have a copy of the “Honolulu Advertiser” the newspaper, August 13, and the “Hawaii Star-Bulletin,” August 14, 1961, both announcing Barack Obama’s birth.

Also, October last year, the director of the Hawaii Department of Health wrote a letter stating, “I have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Senator Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedure.” [Yes. But she did not say what was on it and more importantly she said nothing about that COLB on the internet. And her spokeswoman Janice Okubo, who has not seen his actual birth certificate said: "I don't know that it's possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents."]

PolitiFact.com reissued their results from the investigation they conducted in June of last year and they say, “Since we published Obama’s birth certificate, [This is not true; it is not a birth certificate.] questions about its authenticity have been frequent and fierce. After reviewing the evidence, we are confident of our rulings.” ["There is not one shred of evidence to disprove PolitiFact's conclusion that the candidate's name is Barack Hussein Obama, or to support allegations that the birth certificate he released isn't authentic." He didn't release a birth certificate making their "findings" null and void. And the only way to know if that COLB is "authentic" is to see what Dr. Fukino saw. There is nothing proving that COLB has anything to do with his birth certificate.]

This is the last one, thanks for bearing with me. The White House press briefing this week, reporter from the “World Net Daily” pressed again about the birth certificate, the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said this following comment:

ROBERT GIBBS, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECY: Do all of your listeners and the listeners throughout this country the service to which any journalist owes those listeners, and that is the pursuit of the Nobel Truth, and the Noble Truth is that the president was born in Hawaii, a state of the United States of America.

[She left out his preceding exchange where he admitted as in "I Know" that what was on the internet - the COLB - was not a birth certificate and also that he did not know the name of the hospital Barry was born in.]

PILGRIM: Now, Alan Keyes, you’ve been patient letting me get through all that, but what more do you need to be convinced? [What Dr. Fukino looked at. That, yes, Barry can get.]

(LAUGHTER)

ALAN KEYES, FMR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Some evidence. And the evidence is something that president Obama is strenuously blocking. You ask me to prove that I was born in New York City at the time and hospital I say, and I will give you a certified copy of a full birth certificate with a doctor’s signature, the hospital, and everything else. I won’t direct you to some photograph on the Internet and a bunch of hearsay statements that would not be accepted as evidence in any court of law.

And so the very simple question is, why spend 800,000 to a million dollars blocking the birth certificate? Blocking records at school and college that would in any way have a bearing on the question…

PILGRIM: All right, Alan…

KEYES: Both of his birth and of his citizenship claims at various times in his life. Why is he going to all this trouble, if as they say, the matter is resolved? Can’t be resolved by a bunch of statements and assertions.

PILGRIM: OK, Orly, we have to keep this quicker, but please tell me…[Keyes = 9 sentences.]

ORLY TAITZ, ATTORNEY: OK, Obama never provided his birth certificate. What he provided is certification of live birth that was issued last year that does not have the name of the doctor, does not have the name of the hospital, does not have any signatures. Do you know that Hawaii has a statute 338, that allows foreign-born children of Hawaiian residence to get Hawaiian birth certificates. Did you know that?

PILGRIM: Errol, I would like you to respond. [Taitz gets 4.]

ERROL LOUIS, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: Listen, I think — I think what we have here is a case where under the guise of saying, well, we can’t trust whether or not he should be president because we don’t have the evidence, it’s actually the reverse. These are folks, and there are a number of them, and some of them are raising money like “World Net Daily” which is as far as I’m concerned, running a scam, where they’re selling all kinds of bumper stickers and stuff like that, and I don’t know what Miss Taitz is taking in the way of legal fees.

(CROSSTALK)

They’re raising legal fees from across the country and the reality is they don’t accept that the president is the president, and, therefore, they work backward and there will never be enough proof to satisfy them.

[He cannot possibly say that until the birth certificate is released.]

PILGRIM: All right, John, I have to let…

You’ve offered a mountain of evidence in addition to two birth announcements. That’s a pretty deep conspiracy. What we have here, you know…

[MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE? Go back and read what "evidence" there was. And he is supposedly a lawyer. At least he separates the birth announcements from the word "proof".]

(CROSSTALK)

JOHN AVLON, DAILYBEAST.COM: No, what we have here is Obama derangement syndrome. This pathological hatred of the president posing as patriotism. Ambassador Keyes says that President Obama has called him a radical communist. You on your blog have repeatedly referred to the administration as Gestapo SS. Which is it? Get your story straight. Is he a Nazi or a communist? You guys are nuts.

[What did he say of importance? Where was discussion of fact, evidence, or proof? This is simply an ad hominem statement. I believe the tactic was to divide and counter.]

PILGRIM: Orly, I have to ask you to let everyone at least have their say before you respond to it. I believe we’re out of time, I’m sorry to say.

(LAUGHTER)

TAITZ: Let me say one more thing, in order to be the president, you have to have to have two parents that are citizens. Obama’s father was never a citizen of this country.

PILGRIM: All right, Orly, we have to call it, there. I’m sorry. Thank you very much, all of you, for joining in this very lively debate.

Debate?

Even that is annoying, it was CNN propaganda.

Orly Taitz and Major Cook Press Interview



Major Stefan Frederick Cook filed a suit July 8 in federal court asking for conscientious objector status and a preliminary injunction based upon his belief that President Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as president of the United States and commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.


By: Joe Paull

(7.16.09) -- Cook and his attorney Dr. Orly Taitz speak with reporters outside of a Georgia courthouse.



“To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, are not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

"Home Visits" by the CDC in Health Rationing Plan

The health-care rationing bill approved this week by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee includes a ghoulish phrase.

The committee’s official summary of the bill states:


“Authorizes a demonstration program to improve immunization coverage. Under this program, CDC will provide grants to states to improve immunization coverage of children, adolescents, and adults through the use of evidence-based interventions. States may use funds to implement interventions that are recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force, such as reminders or recalls for patients or providers, or home visits.”


Home visits by the state will sends government officials to “implement interventions” in private homes designed “to improve immunization coverage of children.”

Individual Private Medical Insurance Is Illegal Under the Health Rationing Plan

Individual private medical insurance is illegal under the health rationing plan. Investor's Business Daily reported finding this clause of the 1,018-page document.

Retaliation Against Major Cook

From Orly Taitz, Esq.

Retaliation has occurred or begun against Plaintiff Stefan Frederick Cook for the exercise of his First Amendment right to petition for redress of grievances and Plaintiff Cook accordingly here seeks an injunction against the continuance or full implementation of this official governmental retaliation or in the alternative for a writ of mandamus, order to show cause, or rule nisi be issued to the Department of Defense commanding it to cease, cure, or remedy all retaliation against Plaintiff Cook. The circumstances are as follows:



Late on Tuesday afternoon, July 14, 2009, at around about 4:30 pm, Plaintiff Stefan Frederick Cook returned a call to an unknown telephone call from (813) 828-5884 and was told that his services were no longer required in Afghanistan and that he need not report for duty. In addition Plaintiff an e-mail with the revocation order attached from Master Sargent Miguel Matos (Exhibit C). Upon receipt of the revocation, Plaintiff Major Cook called his civilian boss, the CEO of Simtech, Inc., a closely held corporation that does DOD contracting in the general field of information technology/systems integration, at which Plaintiff Major was employed until taking a Military Leave of Absence on Friday July 10, 2009, a senior systems engineer and architect, in preparation for his deployment to Afghanistan. (Plaintiff has five Cisco Systems certifications in information technology dating from 2000 and just recertified in June 2009 for the Cisco Certified Design Expert qualification exam.)



The CEO of Simtech, Inc., Larry Grice, explained to Plaintiff over a series of four conversations within the next two hours, that he had been terminated. Grice told the Plaintiff that he would no longer be welcome in his former position at SOCOM but that Grice wanted to see whether he could find something within the company (Simtech, Inc.) for Cook. The upshot was that at this time Grice did not have anything for Plaintiff to do. Grice told Plaintiff, in essence, that the situation had become “nutty and crazy”, and that Plaintiff would no longer be able to work at his old position.



Grice explained that he had been in touch with Defense Security Services (an agency of the Department of Defense[1], with regional offices located in SOCOM Headquarters at McDill Airforce Base in Tampa, Florida), and that DSS had not yet made a determination whether Plaintiff Major Cook’s clearances would be pulled, but Grice made clear to Cook that it was DSS who had compelled Cook’s termination. Essentially, because of the “nutty and crazy” situation and the communications received from DSS was no longer employable by him at all. So he was not optimistic about getting me another job at the company. Grice also reported to Plaintiff that there was some gossip that “people were disappointed in” the Plaintiff because they thought he was manipulating his deployment orders to create a platform for political purposes. Grice then discussed Plaintiff’s expectation of receiving final paychecks (including accrued leave pay) already owed, without any severance pay, and wished the Plaintiff well.

A federal agency (such as the Department of Defense, acting through the Defense Security Services Agency) clearly violates the Whistleblower Protection Act if it takes or fails to take (or threatens to take or fail to take) a personnel action with respect to any employee or applicant because of any disclosure of information by the employee or applicant that he or she reasonably believes evidences a violation of a law, rule or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. What has happened in the present case of Stefan Frederick Cook is that a federal agency appears to have taken action against Stefan Frederick Cook’s private employer, Simtech, Inc., which is a closely held corporation owned and operated by members of a single family, who are as much victims of the Department of Defense’ heavy-handed interference with Plaintiff Cook’s private-sector employment as is Plaintiff Cook himself.

AN OFFICER’S DUTY TO OBEY LAWFUL ORDERS:

This Plaintiff, at the time of his original induction into service, took the United States, military oath of an enlisted man, which reads:

“I, Stefan Frederick Cook, 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 the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God”



Later, however, he took the oath of an officer of the United States Armed Forces, as follows:

“I, Stefan Frederick Cook, having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of Major do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.” (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)



This oath is based on 5 U.S.C. §3331:

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, 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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.



See also: http://www.history.army.mil/faq/oaths.htm



An officer does not swear to obey the orders of the President. Rather, he assumes the obligation to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic (for example, a possible Presidential Usurper, if it were shown by clear-and-convincing evidence that a person took the office under false pretenses of constitutional qualifications). The Founding Fathers had the foresight to protect and secure against a situation such as that now facing the United States. The officer oath is a safeguard to protect the Constitution against a corrupt elected government. Officers have an obligation to defend the Constitution. The officer oath does not even mention following the UCMJ laws as does the enlisted oath. Furthermore, Plaintiff Stefan Frederick Cook carries with him a card entitled “Army Values” issued by the United States Army (Exhibit D), which commands in part as follows:

“Bear truth faith and allegiance to the United States Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other soldiers.”

“Put the welfare of the Nation, the army, and your subordinates before your own.”

“Do what’s right, legally and morally.”

“Face fear, danger, or adversity (physical or moral).”

Title 10, Subtitle A, Part II of the United States Code contains the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). 10 U.S.C. §890 (ART.90), makes it an offence subject to court-martial if any military personnel “willfully disobeys a lawful command of his superior commissioned officer,” 10 U.S.C. §891 (ART.91) “lawful order of a warrant officer”, and most importantly, 10 U.S.C. §892 (ART.92) provides court-martial for any officer who

(1) violates or fails to obey any lawful general order or regulation;

(2) having knowledge of any other lawful order issued by a member of the armed forces, which it is his duty to obey, fails to obey the order; or

(3) is derelict in the performance of his duties;



In each case, Plaintiff submits that it is implicit though not expressly stated that an officer is and should be subject to court-martial, because he will be derelict in the performance of his duties, if he does not inquire as to the lawfulness, the legality, the legitimacy of the orders which he has received, whether those orders are specific or general.



Unfortunately the Uniform Code of Military Justice does not provide a means for ascertaining the legality of orders, and accordingly, this Plaintiff is left with no choice but recourse to the ordinary civil courts of the United States to seek a determination of what he considers to be a question of paramount constitutional and legal importance: the validity of the chain of command under a President whose election, eligibility, and constitutional status appear open to serious question.



Plaintiff Major Stefan Frederick Cook is not a pacifist. He does not object to war or the use of military force in the implementation of national policy or the enforcement of international law. Above all, Plaintiff is not a coward, he is not engaged in mutiny, sedition, insubordination, contempt, disrespect, or any kind of resistance to any general or specific lawful order of which he knows or has received notice.



Plaintiff Major Stefan Frederick Cook realized and accepted as a matter of political reality (although it is very hard for him to bear personally) that many might criticize or even shun him, saying that he is not acting in the best interests of his country for trying to uphold the plain letter of the Constitution. Others may cynically ridicule this Plaintiff when, as an officer responsible not only to obey those above him but to protect those under his command, he comes to this Court asking for the right to establish the legality of orders received not only for his own protection, but for the protection of all enlisted men and women who depend on HIS judgment that the orders he follows are legal.



Above all, when Plaintiff Major Stefan Frederick Cook submitted and contended, as he continues to submit and contend, that he filed and will prosecute this lawsuit and seeks a preliminary injunction against the Defendants’ enforcement of potentially illegal orders for the benefit of all servicemen and women and for the benefit all officers in all branches of the U.S. Military, he knew that those in power illegitimately may seek to injure his career, although frankly, he had no idea how fast they would work, or that his civilian career would be ended within five days of exercising his First Amendment Right to Petition for Redress of Grievances. He knew that he risked all and he did and continues to do so in the conscientious belief that he does so for not merely his own, but the general good. It is also now true that the Department of Defense has taken retaliatory action against this Plaintiff through DSS, and that Plaintiff now has nothing more to lose, and must defend his civil rights, his constitutional duty (oath of office as an officer) and above all his honor and his good name against all those who would and have criticized him for making the decision to stand up and demand proof.



Quite simply, the Plaintiff cannot escape from the mandates of his conscience and his awareness, his educated consciousness, that all military personnel but especially commissioned officers have an obligation and a duty to only obey Lawful orders and indeed have an obligation to disobey Unlawful orders, including orders by the president that do not comply with the UCMJ. The moral and legal obligation is to the U.S. Constitution and not to those who would issue unlawful orders, especially if those orders are in direct violation of the Constitution and the UCMJ.

Professor Hitomi Takemura of Kyushu University has recently (December 5, 2008) published a book entitled: International Human Right to Conscientious Objection to Military Service and Individual Duties to Disobey Manifestly Illegal Orders (New York: Springer-Verlag). This book stands as an international legal analysis of the duties of military officers, and it is significant, if not possibly somewhat ironic, that President Barack Hussein Obama has repeatedly argued that the United States should conform itself to international law and customs. Plaintiff does not in this case seek a judicial determination of whether or not there is a general duty to disobey all unlawful orders, but rather to decide whether an officer, such as the Plaintiff, may seek judicial determination of the lawful or unlawful nature of an order based on a constitutional challenge to the chain of command originating from a probably ineligible President and Commander-in-Chief. Plaintiff files this suit to clarify how he can both obey all lawful orders and avoid dereliction of his duties so as to escape court-martial under the UCMJ if he does NOT question the legality of the orders he has received. Plaintiff seeks to avoid not only court-martial in this country, but also treatment as a war-criminal or terrorist, not eligible even for protection under the Geneva convention, if he were found to be a merely mercenary soldier in a private army of slaves, “owned” or controlled by an unconstitutional and therefore illegal commander, if he does not ask the question: “is this order legal?”

NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

Plaintiff presents the key question in this case as one of first impression, never before decided in the history of the United States: Is an officer entitled to refuse orders on grounds of conscientious objection to the legitimate constitutional authority of the current de facto Commander-in-Chief? In the alternative, is an officer entitled to a judicial stay of the enforcement of facially valid military orders where that officer can show evidence that the chain-of-command from the commander-in-chief is tainted by illegal activity? In the alternative, does the issuance of orders based on a constitutionally infirm chain-of-command under Article II create or render military service as a mere “involuntary servitude” in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment which may be judicially enjoined?



Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief against the United States Department of Defense, and each of Plaintiff’s commanding officers, as expressly authorized by 5 U.S.C. §702. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that he will suffer legally cognizable but irreparable injury because of agency (U.S. Department of Defense) action if the order attached as Exhibit A were to be enforced, and that Plaintiff is adversely affected and aggrieved by this agency action within the meaning of Article II, §§1-2 of the United States Constitution, and is entitled to judicial review thereof. This action is filed in this United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, which venue is appropriate in that deployment from Fort Benning, Georgia, has been ordered to take place on July 18, 2009 (see Exhibit A).

This suit is filed seeking purely injunctive and declaratory relief (and no money damages) and the Complaint to be filed within 10-15 days of the filing of this Application for Preliminary Injunction (circumstances have changed so wildly in the past few days that it is impossible to have a complaint ready by the time of the first scheduled hearing on July 16, 2009, to be held in Columbus, Georgia) states a claim that the Department of Defense and its officers, including the de facto President Barack Hussein Obama, as de facto Commander in Chief, together with Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, and Colonels Louis B. Wingate, Thomas D. MacDonald and Wanda L. Good as employees thereof, have acted illegally/i.e., without actual legal authority (valid chain of command) in issuing this order, or else failed to act in a de jure official capacity at all, or else have acted under color of legal authority by pretending that a lawful chain of command under the authority of a constitutionally qualified and elected President has been established pursuant to Article II, §§1-2 of the United States Constitution, when in fact, the current de facto Commander-in-Chief is not constitutionally qualified nor was he legally elected or appointed to succeed to the office of President of the United States.

Plaintiff submits that this court is required by federal common law to enter a Preliminary Injunction in this case and to enjoin Defendants’ persecution of and retaliation against Plaintiff Stefan Frederick Cook for questioning the legitimacy of the chain of command predicate to the validity of to the orders contained in Exhibits A, B, and C for the following reasons:

(1) The United States Supreme Court has held that Federal rules are “necessary to protect uniquely federal interests”. Texas Industries, Inc., v Radcliff Materials, Inc., 451 U.S. 630, 640 (1981), quoting Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino, 376 U.S. 398, 426 (1964).

(2) Included in this category is the creation of federal common law to protect federal interests in international law, which are particularly relevant to the legitimacy of United States military presence and intervention in foreign countries, of which the Plaintiff herein will be an integral part and instrument if the orders set forth in Exhibit A are not enjoined from enforcement. Id.

(3) The issue or question raised by this suit is uniquely federal and properly (and in fact necessarily) subject to the exercise of federal power: the question whether the constitutional legitimacy of the chain of command under a constitutionally legitimate commander-in-chief pursuant to Article II, §§1-2 of the Constitution is essential to the maintenance of balance of powers and separation of powers under the constitution, and cannot be lightly dismissed in light of the Plaintiff’s evidence that the de facto President of the United States is not only constitutionally unqualified, but procured his election by fraudulent and illegitimate means which may constitute a pattern of racketeering utilizing the apparatus of corrupt organizations in violation of 18 U.S.C. §1961 et seq.

(4) A substantive federal rule of law to govern this issue has never been developed, presumably because there has never been a serious challenge to the constitutional eligibility and legitimacy of any commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces prior to the apparent election of Barack Hussein Obama, but the novelty and uniqueness of this situation only underscores and does not diminish the critical nature of the inquiry to be made. See, e.g., Martha A. Field “Sources of Law: the Scope of Federal Common Law”, 99 Harvard L. Rev. 881, 886 (1986) and David J. Barron & Martin S. Lederman “The Commander-in-Chief at the Lowest Ebb—Framing the Problem, Doctrine, and Original Understanding,” 121 Harvard L. Rev. 689, 712, 748 (2008).

(5) It is probably not an overstatement to submit that there has never been a greater need to create federal law to safeguard federal interests than now, when the constitutional legitimacy of the President and by extension of all exercises of Presidential power are called into question. There are no direct precedents in all of United States History, there are no state rules which could reasonably be applied. To paraphrase the United States Supreme Court’s holding in Clearfield Trust Co. v. United States, “the rights and duties of the United States” in regard to the constitutional legitimacy and qualifications of its highest officers “are governed by federal rather than” any other law. 318 U.S. 363 at 366 (1943).

(6) “The authority to” inaugurate the President and determine whether his orders are entered with legitimate authority or not have “its origins in the Constitutions and the Statutes of the United States and [is] in no way dependent upon the laws of” any particular state or foreign jurisdiction. Id. at 366-7.

(7) Few will dispute that the legitimacy of the President and of the Presidency itself is a matter of paramount concern (even exceeding that of the government issued commercial paper/checks at issue in Clearfield Trust) and importance to the several states and all foreign jurisdictions which may have to deal with the most powerful nation in the world. As noted above, the legitimacy of the Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief affects the relationships of the Federal Government particularly with those nations in which this nation takes and implements action and policy by and through its military forces on foreign soil. See also Erwin Chemerinsky Federal Jurisdiction, 5th ed. (2007) 363.

(8) Thus, federal interests of incomparable dimensions exist which justify this court’s creation of federal law and no challenged action instituted by the executive branch should be allowed to proceed until clear criteria have been established to guide this determination. To hold otherwise would be to reduce the constitution to notions of realpolitik and a government of men asserting their power by force rather than laws.

(9) Plaintiff submits that in the absence of a constitutionally valid and legitimate commander-in-chief, he cannot serve to impose the military might and power of this country in a foreign land as a matter of principle. Plaintiff asks that he therefore be granted status as a conscientious objector on moral, religious and philosophical grounds, not that Plaintiff is a pacifist or in any way opposed to the use of military force to further the legitimate interests of the United States, but on the grounds that he cannot abide the notion that he might possibly be implementing by force the policy of a government whose executive power and commander-in-chief may have assumed power unlawfully and might have established themselves on a foundation of fraud, lies, and deceit.

(10) The evidence contained in Exhibit E shows that Barack Hussein Obama might have used as many as 149 addresses and 39 social security numbers prior to assuming the office of President. The social security number most commonly used by Barack Hussein Obama, is one issued in the state of Connecticut, the state where Barack Hussein Obama never resided and it shows him to be 119 years old. This coupled with the fact that Mr. Obama’s grandmother, Madeline Dunham was a volunteer at the Oahu Circuit Court Probate Department and had access to the social security numbers of the deceased, constitutes circumstantial evidence casting serious doubt on the legitimacy of Mr. Obama and his claims of being born on US territory. Exhibit F, the expert affidavit of renowned forensic document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines, states that the certification of live birth posted by Mr. Obama as verification of his legitimacy, cannot be verified as genuine, and should be presumed fraudulent.

(11) This doubt is further reinforced by the fact that the Hawaiian statute 338 allows foreign born children of Hawaiian residents to obtain Hawaiian birth certificates, that those birth certificates can be obtained based on a statement of one relative only without any corroborating evidence from the hospital; that “late birth certificates” (i.e. non-contemporaneously, post-facto, in two words “potentially fabricated”) can lawfully, under this statute, be obtained at any time later in life.

(12) That is of paramount concern, as Barack Hussein Obama’s original birth certificate was never provided by the state of Hawaii, but only a statement that there is an original “long birth certificate” document on file. The statement repeatedly provided by Hawaiian officials is quite simply incomplete, evasive, and without explanation of critical details: namely, whether it is a foreign birth certification or one obtained based on a statement of one relative only, or a late certification or amended one, obtained upon adoption by his stepfather. See Exhibit C: the Certification of Live Birth posted by Mr. Obama on the Internet, cannot be treated as genuine without examining the original on file with the Health department of the State of Hawaii.

(13) In addition or in the alternative, Plaintiff submits that, absent clearly established and indisputable proof of constitutional right to serve as commander-in-chief, the army becomes merely a corps of chattel slaves under the illegitimate control of a private citizen, in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment and that this Plaintiff is entitled to constitutionally complete and sufficient proof of his commander-in-chief’s eligibility and entitlement to serve in this capacity under Article I, §§1-2 prior to obeying orders from a man against whom mountains of evidence now exist (Exhibits E and F, and additional evidence which can be provided at the Preliminary Injunction hearing or in conjunction with the Complaint to be filed in this case) to show that Barack Hussein Obama obtained the office of President without legal qualifications, and further that he did so by and through a continuous pattern and program of fraud and deceit.

(14) A long line of cases now exists to show that 42 U.S.C. §§1983, 1988 may be used to bring suit against Federal Officials for violations of constitutional rights, and 42 U.S.C. §1988(a) specifically authorizes courts to adapt or fashion common law remedies to prevent constitutional violations where no adequate remedy exists or is set forth in law—such specially fashioned remedies would include expressly empowering military officers to challenge orders based on constitutional defects in the chain of command by means of equitable judicial proceedings such as this one, and to permit injunctions against deployment where the chain of command is reasonably subject to question.

(15) Critical among the cases applying §1983 to suits against Federal (indeed, Military) officers, is the 1982 case of Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982) and closely related successor Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511 (1985). These cases held that U.S. Government officials (such as Defendants in this case) could only claim qualified immunity, and that even qualified immunity was available to them only if they followed well-established law and norms of construction or interpretation of law.

(16) Plaintiff submits and here asks this Court to find, declare, and hold that the requirement that the President of the United States be a natural born citizen, set forth in Article II, §1 of the Constitution, creates a “clearly established … constitutional right of which a reasonable person would have known.” Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. at 818.

(17) The right in question which Plaintiff asks this Court to define and recognize as a matter of first impression should be defined either as the unilateral right to disobey or the right to seek a judicial injunction against the enforcement of orders given on the unproven de facto authority of a government headed by a man against whom such evidence of high likelihood of fraud as the affidavit of Neal Sankey (attached as Exhibit E) can be assembled from public records alone.

(18) In other words, Plaintiff asks this Court to rule, declare, and adjudge, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1988(a), that an officer of the Army of the United States (all officers)!) must have the right to question apparently illegitimate authority in the courts or else in the course of his employment as an officer directly within the army chain of command or in both capacities and by both manners. Current law does not establish any means of verifying the constitutional legitimacy of orders or the constitutional chain of command.

(19) Unlike the Federal officers in Wilson v. Layne who brought reporters along with them when they executed search warrants (526 U.S. 703 [1999]), there IS a simple consensus of authority on the question of the requirement that the President be a natural born citizen sufficient to provide a basis for a reasonable army officer to doubt that his country’s commander-in-chief might be accepted as legitimate outside the United States. This Court should rule that a reasonable officer has the right to ask, indeed to demand, that a federal court enjoin his overseas deployment until such time as the answers raised by Barack Hussein Obama’s use of multiple addresses (almost all outside of any reasonable connection to his “official” life history) and social security numbers, including at least one social security number of a deceased person (Exhibit B).

(20) That this Plaintiff claims status as a conscientious objector must be clarified and emphasized in several ways: Plaintiff is no pacifist, nor an anti-war protester. Plaintiff actually does want to go to Afghanistan and he verifies this fact, as he does this entire petition, under penalty of perjury (as required by Rule 65(b)(1).

(21) Plaintiff believes that his service in Afghanistan would be positive and serve the interests of world peace, the advancement of the people of Afghanistan, and the security of the people of the United States (and the allies of the United States in Europe and around the world).

(22) However, Plaintiff is also aware that the general opinion in the rest of the world is that Barack Hussein Obama has, in essence, slipped through the guardrails to become President. The United States and her military, commanded by a man who has himself expressed pacifist and anti-military opinions, are the targets of derision and ridicule abroad.

(23) The grounds for grant of a Preliminary Injunction are well known: (a) likelihood of success on the merits, (b) balance of hardships, (c) irreparable injury to Plaintiff, and (d) public policy favors the issuance of injunctive relief.

(24) Plaintiff submits that as to the likelihood of success on the merits—since this is a question of first impression, Plaintiff should be awarded the temporary injunction regardless of the lack of precedent, (a) because of the critical nature of any serious question concerning the constitutional legitimacy of the President as Commander-in-Chief, (b) because of the critical federal interest in this question, especially from the standpoint of military presence abroad, in potentially if nor certainly hostile territory, (c) because of the mounting evidence of fraud on the part of the de facto President shown in Exhibits E and F, and (d) because of the well-known but as yet undecided question of Barack Hussein Obama’s legitimacy, qualified immunity does not protect any officer from a potentially erroneous decision in this matter, Plaintiff’s likelihood of success on the merits—at least on the question that standards need to be established for constitutional legitimacy of the President, and that military officers must have the right (especially in time of domestic peace and no known imminent invasion or attack on the country) to demand proof of legitimate chain of command.

(25) As to balance of hardships, the Plaintiff Stefan Frederick Cook is a Patriotic American who voluntarily joined the army and placed his life on the line for the defense of freedom and the rule of law (“truth, justice, and the American way of life”) as his career.

(26) All three Plaintiffs have found reason to doubt the legitimacy of the Commander-in-Chief, and demands proof, at the very minimum, of the Barack Hussein Obama’s constitutional legitimacy and eligibility, which is made more acute by the evidence of multiple addresses and social security numbers attached as Exhibit E.

(27) However, Barack Hussein Obama, in order to prove his constitutional eligibility to serve as President, basically needs only produce a single unique historical document for the Plaintiff’s inspection and authentication: namely, the “long-form” birth certificate which will confirm whether Barack Hussein Obama was in fact born to parents who were both citizens of the United States in Honolulu, Hawaii, in or about 1961. It is no answer to show the short-form birth certificate which has no seals and is signed by no one and is produced, as most birth-certificates are, by computerized reproduction. In light of Exhibits E, the affidavit of Neal Sankey, as well as Exhibit F, Plaintiff submits under his sworn acknowledgement and verification below, that only final proof of Barack Obama’s natural born citizenship by authentic, and authenticated, legal documents will prevent this Plaintiff from fear that he is serving a false master, a false commander-in-chief, a false President, and thereby violating the international laws of nations by acting without legitimate authority.

(28) However, as a practical matter, the mere execution by the President of a comprehensive medical release under HIPAA (Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) would permit the Plaintiffs to obtain most of the information which they are seeking; separate releases of the President of his personal passport files and history maintained by the United States Department of State and Social Security Commission would resolve all other questions raised by Exhibits E and F.

(29) Accordingly, the President needs to sign three releases concerning his personal and private history prior to becoming President, and the President cannot possibly suffer any unjustified inconvenience or harm from the execution of these documents, especially since Presidents have historically disclosed their full medical histories as a routine matter of public interest and concern.

(30) The balance of equities, the balance of hardships, clearly favor the entry of this Temporary Restraining Order. From the Plaintiff’s standpoint, if the history of World War II and the Nuremberg Trials teaches us anything, it is that no military officer should ever rely on “apparent” authority or “facial” legitimacy of orders. Every officer has an independent duty to use his conscience and evaluate the legitimacy of the chain of command under which he operates, and when reasonable doubts arise, the Courts should afford remedy and protection. If Plaintiff were to proceed to wage war on the people of Afghanistan, even the Taliban and other proven sponsors of terrorism, under the orders of an illegitimate President, Plaintiff runs the risk of acting as a de jure war criminal—not entitled to the protections of international law at all.

(31) All that is asked of the President is that he humbly acknowledge and produce his true and complete “original” birth certificate. So long as this form proves the Barack Hussein Obama’s status as a “natural born” citizen, the President and the Presidency will not only have suffered no harm, but will have reaffirmed the faith of the people in the rule of law as dominating all men, including the President of the United States.

(32) As discussed above, the balance of the equities and hardships shows that, so long as the President is and has always been honest and truthful about his place of birth and parentage, he will suffer no harm at all—and if the President has not always been honest and truthful about his origins, then he will suffer no unjustified harm or injury as a result of the necessary disclosures.

(33) However, the potential harm to the Plaintiff if relief is denied is that he will be required to serve heavily burdened by a doubtful and unwilling conscience, which in itself is and ought to be repugnant to a free society. Involuntary servitude was abolished in 1865, and this Court should not underestimate the crisis of confidence which an order of unquestioning obedience will have, nationwide, on the legitimacy and “full faith” which can be accorded to its officers and their actions.

(34) A man who doubts his commander-in-chief cannot be a good soldier, unless he is instructed that “following orders” is the highest virtue of all, and surely the Nuremberg Trials, and the Trial of Adolf Eichman in Jerusalem, have proven this position false and dangerous to civilization and the moral and ethical administration of government. This harm, this injury to conscience, is not speculative, it is not remote, it is immediate and without any legal remedy of damages or later honor bestowed as a result of service.

(35) Perhaps slightly more remote and speculative, but possible, plausible, and by no means without precedent in the past century is the possibility that if THIS Plaintiff is not allowed access to the truth, someone else may yet expose that the current de facto President serves in mockery and defiance of the Constitution, and that all his military adventures abroad will eventually be classified as private, slave armies engaged in private, piratical warfare unsanctioned by International Law and subject this Plaintiff to prosecution as a war criminal.

(36) As far as public policy goes, allusion has already been made to the crisis of public confidence—even if only 10-20 percent of the American people believe that Barack Hussein Obama is lying about or hiding the details of his true place of birth or national origins—this Court would be doing the public interest a great service by protecting this Plaintiff’s right to conscientiously object based on his reasonable and well-founded doubts concerning the chain of command originating from a questionable commander-in-chief.

(37) Furthermore, judicial resolutions of festering doubts and lack of confidence can diffuse social tension and re-establish confidence in the rule of law more generally.

(38) Plaintiff points out that there was another time in United States history when officers of the military were forced to make a choice whether to follow the central government or their consciences. That time in United States history was in 1861 when some of the finest officers of the United States Army felt that they and their constitution had been betrayed by the central government, and that is how Mexican War heroes Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, among so many others, became the leaders of the Confederate States of America.

(39) There were no lawsuits filed at that time—5 U.S.C. §702 and 42 U.S.C. §§1983-1988 had not yet been enacted. But the public interest is served by permitting Army officers to seek judicial protection and assistance when they question the legitimacy and authority of the commander-in-chief with regard to moral and constitutional issues.

(40) There are no “competing” governments now—no seceding states, however over 30 states have either passed or considered the bills of Sovereignty lately, which can be a step towards secession and a sign of vast dissatisfaction with the Federal government and the President.

(41) In historical hindsight it is easy to say the Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee hurt their own states of Mississippi and Virginia by supporting secession.

Recent cyberattacks have little impact on U.S.

The move to restrict Americans on the Internet will no doubt be justified on security grounds; however, many security analysts have documented that the recent cyber attacks do not threaten us. Any large company that works with its service provider can forestall most attacks; the government could simply do the same thing.

Why Obama's squirming over Honduras

Obama: Not a Natural Born Citizen According to the Constitution



The mainstream media seems to have broken its silence over the illegitimacy issues regarding Obama's failure to comply with the Constitution. It is news today now that the reservations have percolated for months; the mainstream media has finally decided to air the information. The real news is that the news is reporting it at all.

Bachmann, Poe introduce bill to curb yearly Census survey

As a move to allay fears that the legitimate questions in the decennial census are overly intrusive two Representatives have introduced legislation to curb the invasive information collected. Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Ted Poe (R-Texas) have introduced the legislation.

Bachmann vowed that she would not fill out the legally-mandated Census in 2010 over concerns about the nature of some of the information collected by the survey.


This is a good piece of legislation that deserves to be passed.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
SANTA ANA (SOUTHERN) DIVISION

Alan Keyes, Ph.D., Willey S. Drake, and Markham Robinson, Plaintiffs, Civil Action No.:
SACV09-00082-DOC (Anx) v. Barack H. Obama, et al., Defendants. §

MOTION FOR ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT

This court has jurisdiction over Count I of the Plaintiffs’ complaint filed January 20, 2009, (for Declaratory Judgment regarding Barack H. Obama’s status as a natural born citizen and resultant constitutional qualification to serve as President), pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(4)(B) and 42 U.S.C. §§1983, 1988 (Civil Rights Action), and venue is proper in the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division, is the District and Division in which Plaintiff Wiley S. Drake Lives (Buena Park, Orange County, California).

This matter is justiciable under FOIA, 5 U.S.C. §§ 552a(b), 552a(b)(2) (1988). Under FOIA, an agency such as the Executive Office of the President and the White House (Title 3, C.F.R.) must disclose the information sought by the requester unless the agency can invoke one of nine exemptions specified in that Act. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(b) (1988). Some of these exemptions protecting personal privacy apply to “medical and personnel records.” 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) (1988). However, it has been for many years recognized that the medical and personnel records of the de facto or de jure President of the United States (such as Barack Hussein Obama today) and even for candidates for the Presidency of the United States are matters of public interest and concern. The issue in this case is whether the public interest in a limited number of personnel records on Barack Hussein Obama is sufficient to compel disclosure of one particular document whose existence has been acknowledged and confirmed many times but which, for whatever as yet undisclosed reasons, neither the private Candidate Barack Hussein Obama or the de facto President Barack Hussein Obama has been willing to disclose, namely: the “vault” or “long form” Hawaii birth certificate (and all related hospital or medical documents) which Plaintiffs contain will finally confirm or denounce Barack Hussein Obama’s Article II qualifications to serve and “faithfully execute” the office of President of the United States, showing whether Mr. Obama was indeed born on US soil to two US citizen parents.

The public had before the election and still has today a compelling interest in the disclosure of this one single bit of critical documentation (and all related) records and proof. The public’s interest is undergirded by two lines of decisions from the U. S. Supreme Court. The first line concerns the public’s right to the performance of an agency manager, such as an including the President as “manager” of the entire executive branch, under FOIA. The second line of decisions concerns the vital role in our democratic society played by disclosing facts and track records of candidates for public office.

Against this enormous public interest in favor of disclosing the records on Barack Hussein Obama, the present Defendant Barack Hussein Obama by his default has raised absolutely nothing (nor have the U.S. Attorneys who attempt to appear as non-parties [neither as representing Obama, nor any intervening party, nor as “amici curiae” on their own behalf] with their highly irregular “Statement of Interest,” the statutory or rule-based justification for which does not appear on the face of this bizarre filing). The Defendant’s substantive default is complete even after repeated notification and service.

Since the FOIA exemptions that permit an agency to withhold information are narrowly construed, the Court has no statutory basis to rule for anything except full production of the limited number of constitutionally significant documents from the de facto Chief Executive Officer of the United States. It is a matter of public record that Barack Hussein Obama both as the Presidential Candidate and the de facto has never denied the relevance of his birth certificate but in fact repeatedly produced a computer image of an unsigned, unofficial document directly and through the Democratic National Committee, while refusing to consent to release of the official document on file in the Health Department in Hawaii.

Accordingly even if Barack Hussein Obama were deemed to have appeared and answered or objected to service by and through the U.S. Attorney’s office, which he plainly did not do, Barack Hussein Obama would be equitably and quite possible judicially estopped by his conduct in prior litigation from raising any FOIA objection to all elements of his personnel and medical records under FOIA. As shown in Exhibit B, in prior proceedings another United States Attorney in the State of California, to wit Lawrence G. Brown and Yoshinori H. T. Himel, agreed to the production of documents informally rather than by subpoena (Exhibit B).

In sum, even in the absence of default, Barack Hussein Obama has no viable defense to the claims raised by the Plaintiffs in this suit.

The odd truth is that Barack Hussein Obama has not resisted the substance of repeated requests for proof of his citizenship in and of themselves. He has neither claimed a privacy interest in his original “Long Form” “Vault” birth certificate from Hawaii. Rather, Defendant Obama has merely (but routinely) resisted any criticism of the form or sufficiency of his responses, and has refused to cure any doubts regarding the same, without regard to public confidence or respect for the public interest and the intangible right of the people to honest fiduciary services on the part of their governmental officials. Cf. 18 U.S.C. §1346.

The public has a significant, almost unparalleled, interest under FOIA in the release of these records, which shed determinative light on the Constitutional qualifications of the President. Because the public interest under FOIA in the release of Obama’s records was so significant, and because Obama has never claimed a privacy interest in his personnel or medical records prior to becoming President, this court should follow an implement the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in United States Dep’t of Justice v. Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749 (1989). This case established guidelines for determining when records should be released under FOIA. Federal agencies (such as the Executive Office of the President and White House) should release records: (1) when they are “practically obscure,” so that a party would have reason to invoke FOIA to obtain them, and (2) when the nature of the records serves the public interest.

The only public interests cognizable under FOIA is shedding light on an executive officer’s competence or agency’s performance and its statutory duties. Additionally, the purpose of FOIA as well as the plain language of the Act create a strong presumption in favor of disclosure and place the burden on an agency to justify withholding any requested documents. Id. at 764-80; see also United States Dep’t of State v. Ray, 112 S. Ct. 541, 547 (1991).

Even if this Court were to consider that some of Obama’s personnel and medical records were exempt, FOIA requires an agency to release segregable, nonexempt portions of a partially exempt record. Environmental Protection Agency v. Mink, 410 U.S. 73, 91 (1973); see 5 U.S.C. § 552(b) (1988) (final sentence explicitly requires disclosure of any “reasonably segregable” nonexempt information). The records requested by the Plaintiffs’ Complaint herein satisfy both of the Supreme Court’s guidelines favoring disclosure under FOIA.

As to the obscurity guideline, the names and titles of witnesses and attending physicians who supervised or assisted Barack Hussein Obama’s birth and the existence of any clouds on his constitutional qualifications to serve as President which might be held against him were “practically obscure,” so that the Plaintiffs could have obtained these records only through a FOIA request. In fact, it appears that the President has access to his birth records, and simply seeks to control the form, format, and timing of his presentation of evidence, without regard to possible significant differences which might exist between an original (type-or-handwritten from 1961) and a computer-generated abstract such as that which Defendant has proffered repeatedly through the Democratic National Committee and White House.

Accordingly, the Supreme Court’s Reporters Committee holding strongly suggests that FOIA imposed a duty on the Presidential Candidate and now de facto President to release the specifically requested form of the records on Obama. As to the public interest guideline, releasing these records would enable the public to learn how and whether Barack Hussein Obama was constitutionally qualified to assume and exercise statutory duties as President. Any action which is taken to maximize government transparency and enhance the confidence in the legitimacy of government is the public interest and the purpose for FOIA. Thus the records released sought by the Plaintiffs in the case at bar meet the public interest guideline articulated in Reporters Committee and should be disclosed under FOIA. To withhold these records in violation of the guidelines set forth in Reporters Committee, Barack Hussein would have to justify his repeated action of stonewalling, and Plaintiffs submit that his default in this case is just part of an almost institutionalized pattern of stonewalling and refusing to answer complaints (see, e.g., Exhibit A: Arizona Complaint and Default). Consequently, FOIA mandates that Barack Hussein Obama release the records requested below, and the Plaintiffs’ request complies with the federal law in all respects: many citizens’ requests have been made, and all have been ignored without lawful justification. The three plaintiffs in the present suit are uniquely situated in that they were either candidates or electors in the Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections of 2008, and they accordingly have unique standing and suffered unique damage as a result of the Defendant’s failure to disclose the information requested:

42 U.S.C. §1983 and 42 U.S.C. §1988(a)

Plaintiffs submit and contend that the people have a civil right or series of rights, actionable in equity under 42 U.S.C. §1983, to demand that their elected officials prove their constitutional qualifications to hold office by clear-and-convincing evidence, and to petition for redress of grievances concerning well-founded doubts concerning their elected officials’ competence or eligibility for the offices which they seek or have obtained.

Plaintiffs contend that there is Constitutional crisis as a result of their continuing uncertainty (and that of many others) concerning the constitutional qualifications of the commander in chief: to put it simply, if the people have no right under the Constitution to secure simple and enforceable rights, such as the right to have a natural born citizen as Commander-in-Chief, then it is obvious that the letter of the constitution is all but null and void. This constitutional crisis, in turn, has major national security ramifications arising from the question of whether a constitutionally unqualified President can issue valid orders as a matter of International and Domestic law. The spirit underlying this lawsuit is a continuing sense of frustrated urgency to uncover the truth so that the public can be fully informed about actual or alleged federal government activities to validate or cover up the President’s real biography and historic background. These issues obviously affect possible questions about the government’s integrity as a whole, because if a deception has occurred, it will be quite impossible ever to conclude, in this conspiracy, that “Obama acted alone.”

Plaintiffs further contend that the absence of a public means to challenge eligibility and qualifications to hold office, even after elections, constitute an injury to the substantive due process rights of the American public if the truth is not uncovered as soon as possible. The Obama administration is moving at warp speed to accomplish its goals, but if Obama is ineligible to be a US president, everything that is being “accomplished” will be illegal. Consequently, time is of the essence in uncovering the truth and the fact that final confirmation of “the truth” by clear and convincing evidence remains just out of reach nearly six full months after the inauguration is no cause to characterize or find this inquiry “moot.”

Within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. §1988(a), to the extent that this is a case where the laws of the United States are not suitable to protect and vindicate the civil rights of the people of the United States to demand and require their governmental officials to prove their constitutional qualifications, and to the extent that there are no laws or insufficient law suitable to carry these rights into effect or otherwise adapted to the object of proving elected officials’ qualifications, then this Court is empowered by 42 U.S.C. §1988(a) to extend the common and statutory law of the United States in a manner consistent with the Constitution to provide for the trial (or after default, summary disposition without trial) and disposition of this cause and, if crimes are found, to ensure the infliction of punishment on the guilty parties.

By his default, Barack Hussein Obama has waived any objection or answer he might otherwise have had to the utilization of 42 U.S.C. §1988(a) to extend the common and statutory laws of the United States in a manner so as to require proof of his constitutional eligibility. Within the meaning of Rule 55(b)(2)(A), (C), and (D) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to entry of Final Judgment by Default, this Court has the power to conduct hearings or make referrals to determine the exact contours of such extension of common and statutory laws consistent with the constitution in order to (A) conduct an accounting of Barack Hussein Obama’s conduct as a candidate for President of the United States, (C) establish the truth of Defendant’s qualification or lack of qualification to serve as President by clear-and-convincing evidence, and (D) to investigate all other matters related to Count I of Plaintiffs’ Complaint and Defendant’s default thereon.

Plaintiffs suggest that, in the post-default environment, and prior to or after entry of final judgment, this Court has the power to order Barack Hussein Obama to appear and show cause why Default Judgment should not be upheld (or entered) against him, as well as to order the “interested” U.S. Attorneys’ to justify and prove their standing to appear in this case, either in a representative or “active party” capacity (e.g. as interveners, Amici Curiae, or as representatives of identified interveners or Friends of the Court etc.). Plaintiffs propose a 60 day period during which mandatory post-default discovery and/or mediation should be allowed to take place, limited only by the scope of any proposed or actually entered default judgment which may be rendered in this case.

Plaintiffs reemphasize that they seek relief against Barack Hussein Obama only in regard to his conduct occurring or issues accruing prior to his inauguration on January 20, 2009. Plaintiffs’ FOIA and 1983 actions concern only conduct and actions conducted under color of law by Obama as a private individual running for President of the United States, i.e., his “personnel” file, insofar as this reflects on his qualifications to hold and authority to “faithfully execute” the office of President of the United States.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

For all of the above-and-foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs pray that this court will enter final judgment by default against Defendant Barack Hussein Obama pursuant both to 5 U.S.C §552 and 42 U.S.C. §§1983, 1988(a).

This Court should issue an order to Barack Hussein Obama to show cause why the full measure of relief requested by the Plaintiffs in this case should not be granted, and should in particular order a 60 day period of post-default discovery and mediation so that the contours of the final judgment under 42 U.S.C. §1988(a), including the extension or modification of common and statutory law to protect the civil rights of the people of the United States to demand clear-and-convincing evidence of the constitutional qualifications, eligibility, and competence of their elected (as well as their non-elected) officials, representatives, and executive agents.

Not Long in Office, Less Than Enthusiastic



I think the charisma has worn off; this general audience gathered for America's greatest game sound less than thrilled with the ever cheeky Obama. He may want to take a note from the Nixon play book and show up in public less often.

Obama In a Snit

The strong arm tactics of Obama are directed against Kyl, Senator from Arizona, who dares to suggest that the Stimulus is a bust. Obama is threatening to cut Arizona off from federal funds. I think Obama seriously misunderstands Arizonans. They may invite dissociation from the regime.

Soldier who says Obama isn't president doesn't have to deploy

This is an intriguing development. Just when Orly Taitz successfully pleads a case that will be heard regarding Obama's illegitimacy to be POTUS the soldier who asked for an emergency action rescinding deployment is granted a deferment. U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, a reserve soldier, has had his deployment orders revoked according to an Army spokesperson.

International Law, Wise Latina, and Feelings: Sotomayor

Americans have heard that Sotomayor judges based on feelings, empathy and cultural insight, but she may rule based on international law as well. It seems that the international regime in power does not look to American law and the Constitution but further afield.


In 2007, in “The International Judge” Sotomayor introduced the book with the following: “The question of how much we have to learn from foreign law and the international community when interpreting our Constitution,” she wrote, is “worth posing.”


Earlier this year, Sotomayor spoke to the Puerto Rican chapter of the ACLU. “International law and foreign law will be very important in the discussion of how to think about the unsettled issues in our own legal system,” she told the group.


Why are American judges ruling based on international law?


There is no need to consult foreign law when interpreting American constitutional law.


The Constitution is straightforward and admirably clear and simple when compared to international law and has served Americans well.


It is perhaps time to identify a trend in American law, based on foreign policies. Earlier this year Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg told a panel at Ohio State University that our Supreme Court ought to pay more attention to the laws and policies of other countries. “You will not be listened to if you don’t listen to others,” she warned.


It is highly likely that Saudi Arabia and China will approach the topic of terrorism much differently than Americans have in the post 9/11 period.


The Heritage Foundation's international law expert Steven Groves suggested several questions Sotomayor ought to be asked during her hearings.


-- Do you believe that it is the proper role of a justice of the Supreme Court to decide cases based on whether the decision will influence the jurisprudence of foreign courts? If so, how great a factor should the desire to influence foreign courts play in interpreting the Constitution?

-- By what criteria should foreign decisions be cited? Should the Court really be looking to adopt norms outside of the American tradition when deciding cases regarding controversial “values” issues such as the death penalty and homosexuality?

-- What exactly constitutes the mainstream of human thinking? Since much of American constitutional jurisprudence falls outside of the mainstream, why would we want to allow America’s less republican neighbors in the world community to influence the Court’s decisions?


Supreme Court justices take an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States. That is their task and they should adhere to it.


The hearing may be a sham and she is really already in while politicians use the hearings as a pulpit for their agenda but Senators should exact explanations and clarifications about her employment of foreign law--and Americans should heed her answers and judge her accordingly.


To quote Sotomayor accurately, in a 2001 speech to law students at the University of California at Berkeley (she said it was at Duke), she stated:

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."


This is how other countries run things, based on personal background, the U.S. should not imitate their example.

Cap and Tax Bill Assists China

Loren Yager, GAO director of international affairs, authored a study demonstrating that the American Clean Energy and Security Act--the so-called “cap-and-trade” climate-change bill--would give manufacturers in certain industries in the Communist People's Republic of China an advantage over their U.S. competitors and put U.S. jobs at risk. The study was published as a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Barry Loses His TOTUS



Crash, crash down went the smartest TOTUS ever and the shock on Barry's face is precious.

Orly Taitz Gets a Trial from Judge Carter

At the hearing today at the Federal Court building in Santa Ana, Judge Carter said the following:

1. There will be a trial;
2. It will be heard on the merits;
3. Nothing will be dismissed on procedural grounds;
4. The trial will be expeditious and the Judge pledged to prioritize the case;
5. As a former Marine the Judge realizes the importance of having a Constitutionally qualified POTUS/CINC.
6. The Judge stated that if Obama isn't Constitutionally qualified he needs to leave the White House.

The DOJ will be involved with the case also. I would suspect that the government will spare no expense which is not just. The taxpayers should not fund a case that Obama should bear on his own and on his dime. He has misused enough taxpayer funds alread.

Common Sense Commentary



Here is an ordinary sounding person who explains what Obama is doing and how it finally makes sense to him.

"Chicago schools report contradicts Obama and Duncan"

The dumbing down of American education will continue under the current regime with Chicago's Arne Duncan.

Eugenics and the U.S. Military



Eugenics is performed by flu vaccinations on U.S. military personnel.

How to Forge Obama's Birth Certificate in Five Minutes



If a person wanted to forge an online birth certificate as Obama's supporters have posted, this person can show you how it is done, all in about five minutes. The process is simple, easy to do with a basic graphics program, and is believable for many people. You should not be fooled.

Update on Vichy Assault on First Amendment: Sunstein

The censorship Czar, POTUS’s University of Chicago faculty friend and Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein, is seeking to clamp down on bloggers. A website, Stop Sunstein, has been formed to stop the nomination. Sunstein is an anti-hunting, anti-gun, animal rights activist as documented by the web site using Sunstein’s own words. The innocuous title of the appointed office, White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, masks the intentions of this truly frightening assault on First Amendment rights.






Moreover, Sunstein is married to Samantha Power who is tied to mogul George Soros.

MSNBC and USA Today Hail First Kenyan President



Today the MSNBC reporter assigned to the Obama visit to Africa asked Ghanians how they felt about the first Kenyan to be president. Last year the headlines made it clear how Africans felt about the British subject born to an American mother when he was nominated.

Thomas Sowell on Obamics

Thomas Sowell, appearing on Uncommon Knowledge, elaborates on his work "The Housing Boom and Bust," and argues that Obama is a great deal less intent on reviving the economy than on forever altering the relationship of Americans to the federal government.

The Edgermakashun White House

The White House is seeking to improve American education; the best way to start this initiative is to hire staff who can spell.

While on the Subject of Droolling . . .



Obama has been drooling in Italy and in Russia as well apparently.

Krauthammer on Obama and Russia

Update

Charles Krauthammer wrote a good op-ed piece about how desperate Obama has been to gain any international recognition, Americans are paying the price.


Russia has soundly rejected Obama. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned the U.S. today that if it did not reach agreement with Russia on plans for missile defence systems, Moscow would deploy rockets in an enclave near Poland.

Iranian Regime Lynches Activists

American Daughter posted a video wherein the Iranian regime executed five Kurdish students for “political activities” in the Kurdish city of Kermanshan in June.
