The strange 2008 McCain-Obama Presidential eligibility debate

by LAWRENCE SELLIN, PHD

Despite the misinformation being disseminated by our corrupt political-media culture, there is no ambiguity.

According to Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the Constitution, the narrative of the 14th Amendment, the Supreme Court case of Minor v. Happersett (1875), other legal opinions, precedence and historical background, Presidential eligibility requires that a candidate be born a US citizen of two US citizen parents at the time of birth.

If you are unwilling to accept the exhaustive legal documentation regarding the true meaning of “natural born” citizenship, you may try the common sense question:

In order to understand the controversy regarding Presidential eligibility,  Americans must first disabuse themselves of the notions that politicians obey  the law and journalists tell the truth. As a class, neither is driven by service  to the nation, but by political expediency to protect and enhance their own  financial interests.

Although politicians and journalists would have you think otherwise, the laws  defining Presidential eligibility are unambiguous.

Article II Facts

 

The U.S. Constitution is not just a piece of paper. If is was, Liberals, Progressives and our current Community Organizer in Chief wouldn’t be trying so hard to destroy it.                       1Dragon

Obama’s ineligibility: May the Constitution rest in peace

CFP

The junta, formerly known as the US Government, reeks of corruption.

Thanks to the malfeasance or political cowardice of the Republican and Democratic Parties, we now have an ineligible individual, Barack Hussein Obama, occupying the White House.

In addition, there is an increasing amount of credible evidence to suggest that forgery may have been committed during Obama’s campaign for the Presidency.

Yet there are no ongoing official investigations. Quite the contrary, everything is being done by both political parties to suppress any discussion of wrongdoing.

Obama’s “Nixonian” moment?

We hope you’ve saved the duct tape you purchased at the urging of the DHS a few years ago, as it could come in handy to as a head wrap to keep your head from exploding from the curious events of this past week.  Should you find no need to do so, you might wish to send your extra rolls to the corporate media, Obama loyalists, operatives and progressives so they can use it to hold together their mosaic of lies and misrepresentations that have turned into blatant insults and a shameful mockery of anyone searching for the truth about the valid constitutional issue of presidential eligibility.

When Politics Damages the Constitution

New Media Journal

The issue of eligibility where the federal government’s Executive Branch is concerned is not one of politics; it is not, in any way, shape or form related to the so-called “birther” issue. The issue of presidential eligibility is one that addresses the protection of our citizenry’s fidelity to the United States Constitution. Yet many disingenuous political operatives – who put the well-being of their political parties or special interests above honesty and good government – and many pundits, editors and producers – unwittingly or otherwise – have seen clear to blur the lines between the “birther” issue and an honest movement to affect the closing of a loophole unforeseen by our Founders and Framers.

With the stunning news that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer had vetoed legislation that would have required a candidate for the Executive Branch of the federal government to provide first-source prerequisite materials proving his or her satisfaction of Article II, Section 1, of the United States Constitution, one of the more promising doors to protecting unqualified candidates from accessing the federal ballot slammed shut.

New investigation into Obama background spells trouble ahead

Examiner.com

A brand new, in-depth investigation into the background of Barack Obama may spell big trouble ahead regarding the issue of Presidential eligibility.

The investigation was conducted by Northeast Intelligence Network–a team of experienced, professional private investigators whose services have been utilized by Fortune-500 companies.  The director, Douglas J. Hagmann, is a 23-year veteran in high-level investigations and is a member of the International Counter-Terrorism Officers Association.

Hagmann’s investigation into the background and Constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as President of the United States is extensive and thorough.  His conclusions are stunning.

For example, neither of Obama’s parents were citizens of the United States at the time of his birth.  Therefore, Obama would have to have been born on U.S. soil in order to qualify as a ‘natural born citizen’ according to the qualifications specified in the Constitution.

But Hagmann’s investigation reveals that, contrary to the notion of those who point to a short-form birth certificate in Hawaii, and 2 birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers, neither of these factors proves anything at all about Obama’s status or citizenship:

the Certification of Live Birth is consistently cited by individuals, the media and others to prove the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein OBAMA.  Nonetheless, even an authenticated and genuine Certification of Live Birth is legally insufficient for the purpose of proving eligibility, as it merely represents that OBAMA’s birth record is on file in the state of Hawaii. It falls short of providing the information necessary to determine constitutional eligibility in at least two areas: it does not offer any information regarding who supplied the information, nor does it confirm the authenticity of the information provided. Again, it merely indicates that the information is “on file.”

In other words, the ‘certification of live birth’ as touted by Obama apologists and the mainstream media as ‘proof’ Obama meets the eligibility requirements of the Constitution actually proves nothing.

In addition, Hagmann disputes the notion that birth announcements in local Hawaiian newspapers provide proof:

Many who argue that Barack Hussein OBAMA II was born in Hawaii not only point to the COLB as direct evidence of eligibility, but they also point to two separate birth announcements that appear in the Honolulu Sunday Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin in 1961. Those doing so either fail to understand the legal definition of a natural born citizen as it applies to the eligibility factor, or are guilty of intentionally misdirecting the core issue. A birth announcement is simply that – a public announcement that a baby was born. The birth announcements do not provide any information about the child’s citizenship, cannot be authenticated, and hold no weight of evidence to support either side of the eligibility argument.

However, the key information in Hagmann’s report that casts doubts upon Obama’s eligibility is the fact that the very organizations that published the short-form certificate of live birth and the 2 birth announcements in newspapers have direct connections with Barack Obama.

The DailyKos is the primary suspect and the first entity to publish ‘proof’ of a birth certificate.  The DailyKos is an ultra-Leftwing hate-group that not only is ‘in the tank’ for Obama but smears and seeks to destroy those who oppose extremist, Leftwing initiatives in politics.

‘Fight the Smears,’ which also pointed to these 2 erroneous pieces of ‘evidence,’ is owned by ‘Organizing for America,’ which was originally named ‘Obama for America.’   This speaks for itself.

And finally, there is the much-hallowed ‘Factcheck.org’–supposedly an independent, non-partisan clearinghouse that separates truth from fiction in the media and on the Internet.  Hagmann’s investigation reveals that Factcheck is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, which receives its primary funding from the Annenberg Foundation.

Barack Obama was a founding member, chairman, and past President of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was also funded by the Annenberg Foundation.  Thus, the supposed ‘neutrality’ of Factcheck.org can safely be called into question.

The bottom line is that so far absolutely no positive proof has been provided that establishes that Barack Obama was born on American soil.

Why is this important?  An individual who would spend millions of dollars hiding his background and pertinent documents from the public, and who would make false statements about about his history, cannot be trusted to tell the American people the truth about what his policy initiatives are intended to do regarding the ‘fundamental change’ of America.

Lt. Commander Walter Fitzpatrick, III Arrested for trying to Expose Government Corruption

Canada Free Press

Retired Lt. Commander Walter Fitzpatrick III, a citizen of Monroe County Tennessee, attempted to affect a legal citizen’s arrest this morning as the new 2010 Monroe County Grand Jury convened for the first time.

Fitzpatrick’s actions were peaceful and supported by US and Tennessee Constitutional Law concerning a citizen’s right to expose government corruption, and affect a citizen’s arrest, especially when concerning individuals in government who are unlikely to ever expose their own corruption or arrest themselves.

Fitzpatrick has been seeking justice in Monroe County for quite some time now, and I have been following those efforts. Background and the string of events leading up to Mr. Fitzpatrick’s arrest can be followed in my previous columns on the subject.

• Monroe County Tennessee Still in Treason Spotlight – Jan 2, 2010

After months of trying to get what could be the most important question of our time answered in an open court, it became clear that something was very wrong with the justice system, not only in Washington DC, but in little ole Monroe County, Tennessee as well.

The US Grand Jury Institute (USGJI) investigated events in Monroe County and issued a full report which is posted on Fitzpatrick’s web site, The Jag Hunter.

In brief, USGJI found that the Grand Jury in Monroe County, Tennessee was nothing more than a good ole boy club set up to deny justice, rather than uphold the state or US Constitutional process of fair and impartial justice, with a Jury Foreman who had held that maximum TWO YEAR position for twenty-seven years now.

Many more illegal anomalies were identified by the USGJI, all of which are explained in detail in their investigative brief.

Void of any other peaceful alternatives in his search for justice, Lt. Commander Fitzpatrick III attempted to arrest members of the Monroe County government this morning, for what Fitzpatrick has alleged to be acts of corruption on a grand scale in his local community.

In return for his efforts to expose local corruption in the Monroe County justice system, Fitzpatrick himself was arrested this morning.

The message is overwhelming…

The American people have NO right to ask their president who or what he is… not even if you are a retired Navy Commander, or a top doctor and Lt. Colonel in the US Army.

If a US citizen dares to expose government corruption, it is likely to be the citizen who will be charged with a crime…

Lt. Commander Fitzpatrick III was arrested in Monroe County early this morning and as of my most recent query to the Monroe County Sheriff’s office moments before releasing this report, Sgt. Lynn states that Fitzpatrick is “passively resisting” processing, but is expected to be arraigned on the following four charges tomorrow morning.

1. Disturbing a meeting by interrupting a Grand Jury while in session, to arrest the jury Foreman Gary Pettway.
2. Inciting a riot by gathering a reported five supporters to video the arrest attempt.
3. Resisting arrest.
4. Disorderly Conduct

Further information will be forthcoming as events unfold.

Army ‘showdown’ at eligibility corral

By Joe Kovacs
© 2010 WorldNetDaily

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is the highest-ranking and first active-duty officer to refuse to obey orders based on President Obama’s eligibility.

A top-ranking, highly decorated officer in the U.S. Army says he’s now refusing all orders until President Barack Obama finally releases his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate to prove his eligibility to serve as commander in chief.

“I feel I have no choice but the distasteful one of inviting my own court martial,” said Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, an active-duty flight surgeon charged with caring for Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey’s pilots and air crew. “The Constitution matters. The truth matters.”

“For the first time in all my years of service to our great nation, and at great peril to my career and future, I am choosing to disobey what I believe are illegal orders, including an order to deploy to Afghanistan for my second tour of duty there. I will disobey my orders to deploy because I – and I believe all servicemen and women and the American people – deserve the truth about President Obama’s constitutional eligibility to the office of the presidency and the commander in chief.

“If he is ineligible, then my orders – and indeed all orders – are illegal because all orders have their origin with the commander in chief as handed down through the chain of command.”

In his video message now posted on YouTube, the 18-year veteran personally pleads with the president to stop withholding the key document which would put to rest many of the doubts that continue to linger more than a year into Obama’s term.

“President Obama, I ask you to respect and uphold the Constitution. Be transparent and show your honesty and integrity. Release your original, signed birth certificate, if you have one, thus proving your birth on American soil, and thus assure the American people that you are lawfully eligible to hold the office of the presidency and serve as commander in chief of the Armed Forces.”

Exactly what Constitution is the Federal Government using?

T-Room

Since the 2008 Presidential primary, millions of citizens have questioned the duly elected President’s eligibility. Hundreds of thousands of American’s have turned to the United States Constitution for answers. Dozens upon dozens of lawsuits have been filed challenging Obama’s eligibility, and with every new day more challenges are filed. Others have turned to their state’s Attorney General to investigate election fraud To date, six state Attorney’s General have received these Memorandum of Complaints. They simply request the state Attorney General, the People’s Attorney, to investigate whether the Democrat Corporation placed an ineligible candidate on the “D” line of state ballots. Remember, we the citizen’s paid for that election ballot.

Patriotic American’s, representing 48 states, held the Third Continental Congress at Pleasant Run in St. Charles, Illinois, from November 11 — 22, 2009. These American Patriots paid their own expenses, took time off from work, left their families and worked night and day to develop Articles of Freedom for you, your family, your friends, your co-workers. Read them. They did a fabulous job representing “We the People”.

Then their is citizen Bob Campbell who heads up The American Grand Jury. He and his fellow Patriots have made great strides informing American Citizens of their rights granted to them under the Constitution. He’s assisted numerous citizens in holding American Grand Juries across the country, and then files the Presentments to the respective court. Patriot groups are growing by leaps and bounds. Check out Resistnet, IrateNation, FreeRepublic to name a few. The American Patriotic movement is flourishing all over the blogosphere, but if you are one of those American’s who rely on Mainstream news mediums, well, sadly you wouldn’t know about, let alone understand, who we are and why we’re fighting so hard for you.

A deafening silence, a silence so loud, so powerful from the Fourth Estate has resulted in a monstrous clash between the American Patriot and the American Sheeple. The controlled mainstream media outlets dare not touch the subject of Obama’s eligibility. Rather, if they cover it at all, they frame the subject in terms of ridicule using inflammatory rhetoric and casting all who question as crazy, nut jobs, conspiracy theorists, birthers and so on. From Glenn Beck to Keith Olbermann to The New York Times new About.com (h/t CitizenWells.wordpress.com), Washington Post to the LA Times, all American patriots hear is how stupid we are or out of touch we are.

Are we? Could they be trying to tell us something we don’t want to hear?

As an American Patriot, when you’re in the trenches reading, writing, debating, learning and challenging these Mainstream rascals it’s a difficult to see the rope dangling above your head to escape to a different place. A place to breathe in some fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun bathe upon your skin, and to see and hear the noises of everyday life surrounding you. You realize how mentally fatigued you are, how heavy your heart is and you remember how life used to be, that is, before the 2008 Presidential Primary.  You sit on a grassy knoll, you lay down and you rest. Thoughts start swirling around in your mind when suddenly you remember that rope. Why did this appear? Why did I grab onto it and climb my way out? You ponder this thought for awhile, and the next thing you know you find yourself at a bend in the road that just might point you toward that ray of hope so many of us are desperate find.

Could such a road lead you and me to the truth? Well, here’s a radical thought. Could it be that the Federal Governement is not governed by the U.S. Constitution but rather the Corporation? Could it be possible that a former Congress threw the U.S. Constitution away? Could we actually be being ruled by the U.S. Corporation all the while believing we were being governed by the Constitution? Is this why Congress only placates “We the People” so as to remain in power? Is this why “We the People” don’t trust Congress? Could this answer the question so many have asked “why is Congress so out of touch with the People?” You tell me.

In 1801, the Sixth Congress, 2nd Session, Chapter 15, An Act Concerning the District of Columbia (a) also known as The Act of 1801, was passed accepting land ceded by the state of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia to permanently form the seat of the government for the United States. Yet, in 1871, the Forty-First Congress, Session III, Chapter 62, passed “The Act of 1871 forming a corporation [in the District of Columbia] called THE UNITED STATES. The corporation, OWNED by foreign interests, moved in and shoved the original Constitution into a dustbin.“  Do yourself the favor and read both Acts and then read the highlighted link telling us the Act of 1871 appears to have changed everything our Founding Fathers fought for.

Am I wrong? I don’t know, you tell me?

The seating of the government of the United States in 1801 gave rights to the citizens of the District of Columbia but The Act of 1871 began the process of eroding said rights. Geez, Washington DC’s license plates read “Taxation without Representation.”
