Bird Flu Distributed by Dept. of Homeland Security, video, Abany NY, Menands New York, Fattah Muslim, 3 Star retired African American General, Power hour radio, Driver had shot to protect himself and family, 109th Air Guard, FEMA trains

This is from Repubx May 2, 2009:

“This report is chalk-full of explicit details. Notice the person reporting mentions a Muslim named “Fattah”, over-seeing the pick-ups of this stuff along with a 3 Star *retired* African American General.

The driver, Fattah, and the retired General all get paid handsomly in cash from funds at the Bank of America.

Bank of America just bought Countrywide Home-loans, who took the biggest hit during housing crisis that triggered the rest economy break-down. The Housing crisis was generated by Fannie Mae using the identical predatory lending scheme mastered by Obama’s Mother, Stanley A. Dunham, and her boss at the Ford Foundation – Tim Geithner’s (new Treasury Secretary) Dad – Paul Geithner.

Everything is done at night – trips to cities all over the US. Driver had shot to protect himself and family. He isn’t told any details of what he is transferring.

Everyone handling (pick-ups) the stuff are in full White suits – completely protected.

Higher-up NYPD officials were notified and replied by saying “This is bigger than both of us and we’re not touching it with a 10 foot Pole”.”

Tea Parties, April 15, 2009, National tax day, Map, View tea parties across US, The real Barack Obama

The real Barack Obama blog has a nationwide map and YouTube videos of tea parties across the US on April 15, 2009, National Tax Day.

“Disappointed that you couldn’t or didn’t make it to one of the National Tax Day Tea Parties? No problem. RBO’s got ya’ covered.

You can follow the links on RBO’s National Tax Day Tea Party post and go check out the articles and pix — or you can get a feel for Tea Party fever right here in the YouTube video gallery. Sadly, this is only a sampling of all the gatherings — there are hundreds more.

Some folks marched. Some folks sang. Some folks made speeches. Some folks were interviewed. Some folks just stood on the sidewalk and held signs. Some folks got rowdy. Some folks were angry. Some stood in the rain. Some stood in the heat.

Few pro videographers in the crowds, but there are lots of great clips here — and everyone was enthusiastic — with their hearts in the right place. They all knew why they were there even if not so eloquent of speech. They showed up by the thousands, even when the local news gurus (i.e. CNN and anything affiliated with GE) said they were only a handful or a hundred or so strong.

You can bet it’ll happen again — on July 4th for sure. Any chance this is a “movement”? Judge for yourself.

BTW, if these clips don’t bring a few tears to your eyes and a lump to your throat, shame on you!”

Bob Basso YouTube videos, Obama invites Basso to White House, False rumor, World Net Daily, Thomas Paine, Bob Basso’s videos a threat to Obama?, Basso dispels rumor

There have been rumors about Bob Basso being invited to the White House by Obama.
One source of the rumor was an article on World Net Daily.

“The man who created two phenomenally successful “We The People” YouTube videos urging Americans to stand up against Congress and reclaim their republic now – or perhaps lose it forever – reportedly has been summoned to the White House by President Obama to discuss the subject matter of the short films.

Bob Basso, who posts videos under the name funbobbasso on YouTube, has created videos in which he portrays Thomas Paine, author of the “Common Sense” pamphlet that made the case for independence during the American Revolution.

Basso, whose website offers his services as a motivational speaker, uses the YouTube presentations to condemn “non-representing representatives” and warns, “Only when they feel the almighty wrath of ‘We The People’ marching in the streets from California to New York shouting ‘We’re mad as hell and we want our country back’ will they get the message they work for you.”

He was scheduled this week to appear on the “Jerry Doyle Show” when he told the radio host that Obama had personally invited him to meet in the White House “to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos.”

According to a spokesman for Doyle’s show, at the time when Basso was supposed to be calling in for the show, he was unavailable. Basso reached the show several hours later, explaining he had been flooded by media calls and literally was unable to call out.”

“‘New York Times’ Spiked Obama Donor Story”

“Congressional Testimony: ‘Game-Changer’ Article Would Have Connected
Campaign With ACORN

By Michael P. Tremoglie, The Bulletin
Monday, March 30, 2009

A lawyer involved with legal action against Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) told a House Judiciary subcommittee
on March 19 The New York Times had killed a story in October that would
have shown a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign
because it would have been a “a game changer.”

Heather Heidelbaugh, who represented the Pennsylvania Republican State
Committee in the lawsuit against the group, recounted for the ommittee what
she had been told by a former ACORN worker who had worked in the group’s
Washington, D.C. office. The former worker, Anita Moncrief, told Ms.
Heidelbaugh last October, during the state committee’s litigation against
ACORN, she had been a “confidential informant for several months to The New
York Times reporter, Stephanie Strom.”

Ms. Moncrief had been providing Ms. Strom with information about ACORN’s
election activities. Ms. Strom had written several stories based on
information Ms. Moncrief had given her.

During her testimony, Ms. Heidelbaugh said Ms. Moncrief had told her The
New York Times articles stopped when she revealed that the Obama presidential
campaign had sent its maxed-out donor list to ACORN’s Washington, D.C. office.”

““If true, The New York Times is showing once again that it is a not an
impartial observer of the political scene,” he said. “If they want to be a
mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, they should put Barack Obama approves
of this in their newspaper.””

I have been shopping at Barnes & Noble for many years. I have

on the Barnes & Noble internet site that they were allowing
“reviews”, actually Obama camp attacks and smears about Larry
Sinclair’s book, “Barack Obama and Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex,
Lies and Murder?” Since I have covered the Larry Sinclair story
more than any other source and have witnessed first hand the
constant ongoing attacks against Larry Sinclair and anyone
questioning the “messiah”, Obama, I decided to counteract these
lies with the truth about Larry Sinclair. I posted the following
comment.

Posted 03/16/09: From November 23, 2008 article: Larry Sinclair is publishing a book about his encounter with Obama in 1999 and the bigger story of his experience trying to get Obama to be held accountable and making the public aware. This is an incredible story that I have watched play out from a front row seat to my astonishment and disbelief. Up to this point in my life, I have only read about experiences like this happening in other countries. However, despite this all appearing surreal, it did indeed happen. As soon as Larry Sinclair produced his YouTube video, he received personal attacks and death threats on his person and family, website attacks and eventual incarceration in Delaware. This did not happen in the Soviet Union, Kenya or South America. This happened in America. I have followed, researched and written about the Larry Sinclair story probably more than any other source. I can state with authority that Larry Sinclair could not have made up this story. I hope to write a book in the near future and will elaborate on that and cover the other stories I have been associated with. However, only Larry Sinclair can tell his story. Here is a quick statement that I sent to Larry recently for possible inclusion in his book: “The Larry Sinclair story was the catalyst for me and many others to begin questioning the character and background of Barack Obama, a candidate that most of us knew little about. Mr. Sinclair’s allegations appeared preposterous at first but captured my curiousity. I began by examining the Official Illinois State Senate records for the period of November 3-8, 1999. I discovered that Obama was missing on November 4, 1999. I thought, “interesting.” I then read the transcripts from the Tim Russert, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times. All three interviews asked Obama about his records during his tenure in the Illinois Senate. Obama was consistently vague and evasive in his answers. This piqued my curiousity more. One thing led to another and within a few days I knew that we had a problem with Obama. I had reached the point of no return and could not in good conscience abandon my efforts. I continued to follow the Larry Sinclair story and watched it play out in detail. I got to know Larry and we achieved a level of mutual trust that soon became a precious commodity. The Larry Sinclair story evolved into at least four large separate stories: 1. The initial encounter with Obama in 1999. 2. The Donald Young controversy. 3. The attacks made on Larry Sinclair, those following his story and anyone questioning the “messiah” Obama. 4. The changing and withholding of internet information and attempts to prevent Larry Sinclair and others from reporting the truth. I have come to know Larry Sinclair as a person and not just a story. I admire Larry for his persistence in the face of incredible odds, his integrity and his patriotism. If you want to know more about the real Barack Obama and what really happened during the 2008 election. If you want to read a book about real events that are so surreal they appear as fiction, order a copy of Larry Sinclair’s book here.”

Today I noticed my comment was not there. All
of the Obama camp smears were left there and
only one positive comment remained.
This is what I saw:

“There is no book to review! Just a scam

Posted March 9, 2009, 1:16 PM EST: Larry Sinclair is an ex-con and a well documented liar, This book is just another scam to make some fast cash, The Book originally was suppose to be in print over a month ago! Save your hard earned cash! He is a very sick and deranged individual just visit his website! He was first arrested on a larceny charge in 1981 in Denver, according to his Colorado arrest record, as filed in federal court. In 1985, he was convicted of theft and of forging a check in Florida, and sentenced to a year in jail, according to Florida records filed in federal court. After the Florida episode, according to the records, he returned to Colorado, where he faced check fraud and credit card charges in 1986. Then, in 1987, he was convicted in Colorado on more serious forgery charges, and sentenced to 16 years in jail. In prison, according to state records filed in federal court, Sinclair was disciplined 97 times for infractions including assault, threats, drug possession, intimidation, and verbal abuse, most recently in 1996. “He has not institutionalized well,” a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections, Liz McDonough, told the Denver Post in 1996 after a month-long Sinclair hunger strike. She said he had served time in prisons in Buena Vista, Delta, Limon and Canon City before being transferred to the state’s maximum security penitentiary in 1993. In the summer of 1996, according to Colorado’s state court database, he began proceedings to formally change his name from LA Rye Viz. Avila to Larry Wayne Sinclair. By 1999, according to a mention in a local newspaper, he was out of jail and living in Pueblo, Colo. The Public Citizen investigator in Colorado stated that Sinclair’s outstanding legal troubles there appear to date from 2001, and that Sinclair’s effort to convince the judge in 2004 to dismiss those charges failed. The Pueblo County Sheriff’s website, which pictures Sinclair under the word “Wanted,” cites felony theft and forgery charges. Sinclair was also arrested and charged with disorderly conduct in South Carolina last September, according to state records filed in federal court.”

“Paranoid fantasy, far from “the truth”

Rating

Posted March 8, 2009, 9:19 PM EST: On the author’s blog, I have read several excerpts and all chapter titles from this libelous screed that the author, whose writing rarely rises to the level of amateur, announced plans to have printed by a vanity press. Lawrence Sinclair’s lurid tale of his supposed brief encounters with the now-president occupies only a small fraction of the book. The rest is free-form paranoia, as Sinclair grandiosely blames prominent people and institutions for persecuting him and causing his story to be ignored by the mainstream media for over a year. Readers in search of either sleazy fiction masquerading as nonfiction or a glimpse into the mind of a whining, manipulative sociopath would be well advised to skip these ravings of a career criminal (currently wanted on a felony charge in Colorado) and keep looking. This book (assuming that it is eventually printed, after numerous postponements) fails to satisfy on any level.”

Worth the Price I Paid!

Rating

Posted March 7, 2009, 3:49 PM EST: This debut novella from the author is part autobiography, part pornographic fiction. In this book, Sinclair discusses his early life and criminal enterprises which lands him in prison for years. After release, he continues on his criminal path by running drugs across the country for gangs and helping smuggle undocumented aliens into America. It’s during this period that the authors imagination comes to light as he writes of a bizarre chance meeting that includes drugs and gay sex. Frustrated with the “truth” he knows of a presidential candidate, Sinclair embarks on a crusade to save the country. After receiving no satisfaction from the candidate or the mainstream media, the author makes a YouTube video of his claims. He is offered a large sum of money to take a lie detector test, which Mr. Sinclair fails. Lacking any proof of his fantastic claims, Sinclair trudges on trying to spread the word and “make noise!” He is blocked at every turn by powerful politicians, the media, law enforcement, and a ruthless band of “Obots”(Obama paid bloggers). After a year of fighting, Sinclair was unable to stop the Obama-machine election victory and subsequent inauguration. Sinclair received tens of thousands in donations and payments over the year, while still collecting government SSI disability payments. Now, in one last effort to cash-in, Sinclair, who claims he is unable to work a job, has written a book and plans a cross-country book signing tour to promote it. Although still wanted in Colorado on a felony warrant for theft, Mr. Sinclair continues to claim he has paid his debt to society. This book, which is filled with distorted facts and outright libelous content, I cannot recommend for the simple reason that your money will go into the hands of a wanted career criminal. Or, as Keith Olbermann has referred to Mr. Sinclair, “a character assassin.””

“Larry Sinclair’s Book

Posted March 18, 2009, 2:19 AM EST: I was amused to see several book reviews for a book that hasn’t been published yet (I am writing this “review” on the 17th of March, 2009). This. then, is not a review of Sinclair’s book but it is a review about Mr. Larry Sinclair. I have followed his story since he first put a video on You Tube over a year ago. I have also seen his web site (WordPress) and his current one (http://larrysinclair-0926.blogspot.com/). If there is one thing that impresses me about Mr. Sinclair it is his consistency in dealing with the ‘facts’ of his story. He hasn’t wavered a bit in relating those ‘facts’ as he says he knows them. Many people who will read his book will cringe at his graphic discription pertaining to the subject matter. They will also judge Mr. Sinclair harshly, especially if they are fundamentalist religionists because of his life-style: This being said, if what he says is true then those same people who would judge him harshly must also, in the final analysis, jusdge the current President of the United States of America with that same judgment (and even more harshly) because you will read things alleged about Mr. Barack Hussein Obama that will turn your stomach in-side-out. I have pre-ordered a copy of Mr. Sinclair’s book for two reasons: 1) I believe what he alleges has a ring of truth concerning Mr. Obama and 2) this book will be a collector’s item no matter what the fall-out might be as a result of its publication. –jws”

“Author has already described the book’s contents thoroughly: lie after lie

Posted March 19, 2009, 2:21 PM EST: Those who have read the author’s website are already quite familiar with the contents of this book. It should be clear to any reader capable of critical thinking that Sinclair presents absolutely no credible evidence for his various melodramatic claims, and usually no evidence at all. Although he devotes a portion of the book to his early years as a criminal, he declines to take responsibility for the charges of felonious theft, fraud, or deceit that have repeatedly put him on the wrong side of the law right up through the present day. If this book ever makes it to publication, after several months’ delay, I will consider it just another one of his cons. Let the buyer beware.”

Larry Sinclair story will recognize these

I am not accusing Barnes & Noble of anything yet, but it does look
very suspicious. I intend to get a straight answer from them. If
I do not. I will cancel my Barnes & Noble card and take my business
elsewhere. I will also encourage others to do likewise. I have
watched the Obama camp bring this country to a state not unlike
that of Nazi Germany and “1984” by George Orwell. Altering book

New York, New York – March 6, 2009 – Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the world’s largest bookseller, announced today
that it is the victim of a malicious act.  The company is outraged over the tampering of a store display in its Coral
Gables, Florida store by a customer who placed an inappropriate title in the center of its Presidential display. 
Barnes & Noble believes the incident occurred two weeks ago when a customer took a book from another part of the store
entitled Monkeys: A Captivating Look at These Fascinating Animals, placed it in the window display and then
photographed the altered display.  When Barnes & Noble discovered the book in the display it immediately removed it. 
Since then, the photograph has been widely distributed via email and over the Internet falsely claiming that Barnes &
Noble actually placed the book in the display.”

I received the following email request on December 26, 2008:

“XXXXX XXXXXX of TX has today gotten off the phone with Ron Paul.
Her parents live in the same city as RP.
 
Bad news.  He does NOT intend at this time to stand up on Jan
8th.  Part of the reason XXXXX mentioned was that RP said no
one knew the definition by either the law cases and Constitution
itself as to the real menaing of natural born.

Citizen Wells, I immediately thought of all your great research
on natural born that you’ve posted on our website.  Its too much
to expect RP or any Congress critter to read it all BUT…
Here’s you assignment.  Condense into no more than 3 pages with
full legal references on as many pages as needed.  The more the
RELEVANT references the better.   Can we have this done by Dec 28th?
 
I also ask that XXXXX, XXX and you coordinate the naturing of Ron
Paul.  Your goal is to get him to agree to file the written
objection NLT Jan 3rd.
 
Are you’ll up to that challenge?  If Ron Paul does sign on, he
will bring other Constitutionalists along in both the Senate and
House.”

Obviously Ron Paul is not paying attention.

I spent most of my time trying to debunk what I believed
about natural born citizen and after much reading posted
the following on the Citizen Wells blog on December 28,
2008:

Natural born citizen explained

Dean Haskins used this information to
produce this excellent video:

Exactly What IS a Natural Born Citizen?

Leo Donofrio has posted his most recent opinion about natural
born citizen and the influence of Vattel on the founding
fathers. Thanks to Phil at the Right Side of Life website
for the heads up.

“ONE FINAL POINT ABOUT THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN CLAUSE.

The more I read Vattel (pictured above), specifically the passage which defines “natural-born citizen”, the more convinced I become that the framers understood Vattel much better than we have on this issue.  I now am firmly convinced that the framers relied on Vattel’s definition when they included the natural born citizen clause in Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5.

Yesterday, I had a revelation as to what Vattel meant and what the framers intended “natural born citizen” to mean in the Constitution.  It’s obvious that the framers drew a distinction between the meaning of “citizen” and the meaning of “natural born citizen”.  A “citizen” can be Senator or Representative, but in order to be President one must be a natural born citizen.

It’s the difference between a fact and a legal status.

Whether you are a natural born citizen is a fact of nature which can’t be waived or renounced, but your actual legal citizenship can be renounced.  The difference is subtle, but so very important.  “Natural born citizen” is not a different form of “citizenship”.  It is a manner of acquiring citizenship.  And while natural born citizens may end their legal tie to the country by renouncing citizenship, they will always have been naturally born into that nation as a citizen.

Let’s take a look at Vattel’s famous text:

§ 212. Citizens and natives.

The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.

Two different sentences.  Two different civil groups are being discussed.

Examine the subject heading given by Vattel, “Natives and Citizens”.  Two separate groups of the civil society are addressed in the heading. And here is the start of the greatest proof that the framers relied on Vattel as to the natural born citizen clause.

In the passage above, the first sentence defines who the “citizens” of a civil society are.  Vattel states; “The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages.”

In the very next sentence he describes a different set of people wherein he states,  “The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”

There are natives and citizens, just as the header says.   All citizens are members of the civil society, but not all citizens are natives or natural-born citizens.  A native can’t renounce his “nativeness”.  He’s a native forever.  He might renounce the citizenship he gained through being a native, but he can’t renounce the FACT of his birth as a native.

Vattel equates natives with natural-born citizens.  They are the same.  According to Vattel, in order to be a native, one must be born of the soil and the blood of two citizen parents.

He goes on as follows:

“As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights…I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

Some have argued that this passage indicates only one parent – the father – is necessary for one to be a natural born citizen.  That is false. The above passage only mentions the word “citizen”.  It says the children of the father are “citizens”, but it does not say they are “natives or natural-born citizens”.  Vattel is discussing the legality of citizenship, not the fact of one’s birth as being native.

When Vattel wrote this in 1758, he wasn’t arguing for its inclusion in a future US Constitution as a qualification for being President.  But the framers did read his work.  And when it came to choosing the President, they wanted a “natural-born citizen”, not just a citizen.  That is clear in the Constitution.  Vattel doesn’t say that “natives or natural-born citizens” have any special legal rights over “citizens”.  He simply described a phenomenon of nature, that the citizenship of those who are born on the soil to citizen parents (plural) is a “natural-born citizen”.

Citizen = legal status

Native or natural-born citizen = fact of birth which bestows citizenship.

Vattel also wrote:

“The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born.

Once again, he does not mention natives or natural-born citizens in this passage, just citizens.  Furthermore, he states that the citizens may renounce their citizenship when they come of legal age.  But nobody can renounce a fact of birth.  The fact is true or it is not true. You’re either “born” a natural-born citizen or you are not.  The legal citizenship which attaches to this fact of birth may be renounced, but the fact will be with you forever.

And it is that fact of birth the framers sought to guarantee for each President of the United States.  The framers ruled that the commander in chief be a natural born citizen.  Like Vattel, the framers purposely distinguished between “citizens” and “natural born citizens”.  And to that distinction there can only be one effect:

ONLY A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN CAN BE PRESIDENT.

According to Chief Justice Marshall’s opinion in Marbury v. Madison, the 14th amendment cannot make the natural born citizen clause from Article 2 Section 1 superfluous.  If being born as a 14th Amendment citizen was enough to be President, then the natural born citizen clause would have no effect.  According to Marshall, that argument is inadimissible.

President Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States whethe he was born in Hawaii or not.

FAREWELL.

I am not going to protest any longer.  As a Christian, I’m somewhat convinced this nation has been judged by the almighty and his fury may be descending as we speak.  Such fury appears to be in the form of Constitutional cancer.  I have prayed over my continuing role in this battle and the answer to those prayers said I am done here.  As a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I place my faith not in any organized religion but in the words of the lamb and the voice of God.  Peace be with you.

I respectfully disagree with Leo Donofrio on one important aspect.
Barack Obama is not president under the US Constitution. No amount
of swearing in makes one president. Only a combination of the
election process and being qualified under the US Constitution makes
one president.

Throughout the past election year, concerns of bias and political
agendas have pervaded the thoughts of millions of Americans. Many
have turned to the internet to escape the heavy bias and promotion
of Obama by MSM on TV and print media. Two conspicuously biased
internet websites are Huffington Post and Politico. The Citizen
Wells blog has called out Ben Smith of Politico before. Even though
the 2008 election is over, these two sites are apparently committed
to performing as front organizations for the Obama Camp. So the
question still begs to be answered. What motivates these 2 sites
to cover the behind of the illegal POTUS, Barack Obama. Please
respond and tell the American People which of the following apply:

In the tank for Obama.

Sloppy reporting.

Paid by the Obama Camp.

No regard for the truth.

If you have some information that has been hidden from us and the
American public, please provide it. For example, a real birth
certificate. If you have a justification for what you have written,
please supply and we will publish it. In the absence of a cogent
response from you, the intelligent and informed reader will easily
discern which of the above that apply to you.

Here is the latest spin and misinformation from
Huffington Post and Ben Smith of Politico:

Huffington Post

“Richard Shelby, Alabama Senator, Questions Obama’s Citizenship”

“The Huffington Post  Rachel Weiner  February 22, 2009 10:18 AM”

“The Cullman Times reports that Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, in a
meeting with constituents, appeared to give some thought to rumors
questioning President Obama’s citizenship.”

“According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked
health department records during the campaign and determined there
was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.

Politico’s Ben Smith says he has emailed Shelby’s spokesman to ask if
 the Senator actually believes there’s truth in the repeatedly
debunked rumor.”

 “Shelby dabbles in citizenship rumor [UPDATED]

A dispatch from Cullman, Alabama:

Another local resident asked  [Alabama Senator Richard] Shelby if
there was any truth to a rumor that appeared during the presidential
campaign concerning Obama’s U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.”

“I emailed Shelby’s spokesman, Jonathan Graffeo, to ask if Shelby
believes there’s substance to this rumor, for which no supporting
evidence has ever emerge, and which has been debunked repeatedly
and in detail.”

“Another local resident asked Shelby if there was any truth to a
rumor that appeared during the presidential campaign concerning
Obama’s U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.
“Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii,
but I haven’t seen any birth certificate,” Shelby said. “You have
to be born in America to be president.”
According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked
health department records during the campaign and determined there
was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.
The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document
and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine
document. In addition, Factcheck.org reproduced an announcement of
Obama’s birth, including his parents’ address in Honolulu, that was
published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 13, 1961.”

What Dr. Fukino of the Hawaii Health

“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen.

“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”

What the AP writer wrote to
misrepresent Dr. Fukino’s
statement in an Orwellian
tactic.

“State declares Obama birth certificate genuine
The Associated Press

Fri, Oct 31, 2008 (4:18 p.m.)

State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said Friday she and
the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally
verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth
certificate.

Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda
Lingle, ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled differently.

She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate
to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.

Some Obama critics claim he was not born in the US.

Earlier Friday, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to
Obama’s citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently
dismissed similar suits.”
Notice the heading and first sentence implying that
the Hawaiian Health Department officials had stated
that Obama was born in Hawaii.

Next notice that there are no quotes from either
official that state that Obama was born in Hawaii.
Where I come from that is not just Orwellian, but
an outright lie.

From the Alan Keyes lawsuit

“A press release was issued on October 31, 2008, by the Hawaii Department
of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Dr. Fukino said that she
had “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 procedures.” That statement failed to
resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation and press accounts.
Being “on record” could mean either that its contents are in the computer
database of the department or there is an actual “vault” original.”

“Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the
“record” is a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth resulting from hospital documentation,
including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a
Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of
Hawaiian Birth was the result of the uncorroborated testimony of one witness
and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate could be obtained up
to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value
as prima facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the
allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained.
The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176
allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in
Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault Certificate of Live Birth contains a question,
whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country. Therefore,
the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified
copy or the original vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of
the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor against the
birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the
Live Birth.”

Latest statement from Allen Keyes

 

Why Obama is not eligible

Representative Ron Paul, Congressman Paul, Texas, Natural Born Citizen, Obama ineligible, US Constitution, Electoral College votes, Constitutional government, Voting record, Patriotism, Abuse of power, Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers??

No man can serve two masters.” (Matthew 6:24, KJV)

 Congressman Ron Paul of Texas never made it to the US Constitution
Hall of Shame. However, Congressman Paul is of interest to the
Citizen Wells blog for several reasons. Late in December of 2008,
I was informed that Ron Paul had been notified of the eligibility
issues surrounding Obama and that Mr. Paul was uncertain about
the natural born citizen clause pertaining to the presidency. I
was asked to research the natural born citizen clause. I did so
and found what anyone searching the internet can find. It is clear
what the intent of the founding fathers was. And yes, Vattel’s
“The Law of Nation’s” obviously influenced the Founding Fathers.

Citizen Wells report on Natural Born Citizen

Natural born citizen explained in video

There are several reasons why Obama is not eligible to be president.
However, most if not all congressmen were aware of numerous lawsuits
challenging Obama’s eligibility beginning with Philip Berg’s on
August 21, 2008. Many mistakenly stated that the lawsuits were
dismissed for lack of merit. That is patently false. However, since
the congressmen were aware of the lawsuits, they were also aware
that obama had employed an army of attorneys and spent enormous
amounts of resources to avoid proving that he was eligible.

That is the real smoking gun.

This is the reason that minimally, Congress should have demanded that
Obama prove that he was qualified. A single congressman could have
initiated this query before or when Congress convened to certify the
Electoral votes.

Not a single congressman stepped forward.

Congressman Ron Paul knew that there were serious issues surrounding
Obama’s eligibility. Congressman Ron Paul, who speaks of upholding
the US Constitution.

Late in December of 2008, Congressman Paul was asked if he would
challenge the Electoral votes in Congress. Here is his response:

“If I did that, I would be laughed out of Congress.”

I believe Congressman Paul’s response is typical of the position
of the entire Congress. However, Mr. Paul, we expected more from
you.

Consider the following

From Congressman Pauls’s link on the House of
Representives website

“Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited
constitutional government,”

“Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure
is expressly authorized by the Constitution”

“Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes,
spending, and regulation, and used his House seat to actively
promote the return of government to its proper constitutional levels.”
“He continues to advocate a dramatic reduction in the size of the
federal government and a return to constitutional principles.”

http://www.house.gov/paul/bio.shtml
“For Rep. Paul, each piece of legislation must be examined for its
constitutionality; that is, on the basis of whether or not the US
Constitution allows the Congress or the Federal Government to engage
in the actions described by the proposed legislation. If the
Constitution does not allow it, then it must be opposed.”

From Ron Paul’s website:

“Congressman Paul’s consistent voting record prompted one of his
congressional colleagues to say, “Ron Paul personifies the Founding
Fathers’ ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his
principles will never be compromised, and they never are.” Another
colleague observed, “There are few people in public life who, through
thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul
is one of those few.””

Near the end of the following video, Congressman Paul is
quoted as saying:


“The true patriot is motivated by a sense of responsibility
and out of self interest for himself, his family, and the
future of his country to resist government abuse of power.
He rejects the notion that patriotism means obedience to
the state.”

Congressman Ron Paul, I believe that you are a well meaning, decent
man. However, we deserve to know why you believed that Barack Obama
was eligible and why you did not at any time challenge Obama’s
eligibility. Is this the reason?

“If I did that, I would be laughed out of Congress.”

If so, remember:

No man can serve two masters.” (Matthew 6:24, KJV)

Congressman Ron Paul, you have a second chance. A chance to stand
for what you speak of. Contact us for dialogue.
Footnote:

Ron Paul will attend the first-ever Campaign for Liberty Regional
Conference On March 27-29.

“Campaign for Liberty members will gather at St. Louis’ Millennium
Hotel to network, learn, and build their local organizations as our
grassroots Revolution to reclaim our Republic and restore our
Constitution continues.”

Campaign for Liberty

Statement of Principles

“Americans inherit from our ancestors a glorious tradition of freedom
and resistance to oppression.  Our country has long been admired by
the rest of the world for her great example of liberty and prosperity—a
light shining in the darkness of tyranny.

But many Americans today are frustrated.  The political choices they
are offered give them no real choice at all.  For all their talk of
“change,” neither major political party as presently constituted
challenges the status quo in any serious way.  Neither treats the
Constitution with anything but contempt.  Neither offers any kind of
change in monetary policy.  Neither wants to make the reductions in
government that our crushing debt burden demands.  Neither talks about
bringing American troops home not just from Iraq but from around the
world.  Our country is going bankrupt, and none of these sensible
proposals are even on the table.

This destructive bipartisan consensus has suffocated American political
life for many years.  Anyone who tries to ask fundamental questions
instead of cosmetic ones is ridiculed or ignored.

That is why the Campaign for Liberty was established: to highlight the
neglected but common-sense principles we champion and reinsert them
into the American political conversation.

The U.S. Constitution is at the heart of what the Campaign for Liberty
stands for, since the very least we can demand of our government is
fidelity to its own governing document.  Claims that our Constitution
was meant to be a “living document” that judges may interpret as they
please are fraudulent, incompatible with republican government, and
without foundation in the constitutional text or the thinking of the
Framers.  Thomas Jefferson spoke of binding our rulers down from
mischief by the chains of the Constitution, and we are proud to follow
in his distinguished lineage.”
