If Barack Obama has an immediate eligibility problem, it is more likely to derive from the Social Security Number he has been using for the last 25 years than from his birth certificate. Ohio private investigator Susan Daniels has seen to that. On Monday, July 2, she filed suit in Geauga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court demanding that Jon Husted, Ohio secretary of state, remove Obama’s name from the ballot until Obama can prove the validity of his Social Security Number. Daniels, who has vetted thousands of Social Security Numbers for numerous other clients, has done her homework. In her filing, she thoroughly documents her contention “that Barack Obama has repeatedly, consistently, and with intent misrepresented himself by using a fraudulently obtained Social Security Number

So what did you do when you moved and had to set up the utilities in your name at the new place and shut off the ones at the old location?
If you haven’t moved since they started asking for the number (and I recall they’ve been asking for quite some time now) how will you handle it when they ask?
Just wondering....
Thanks for posting the chart!!

Just speaking from the hip tonight. Solutions elude all of us. I fail and know it is by design. There are no perfect solutions, and if there were someone would say there was not. The nots are normally in the majority, and perfect solutions are nots a majority. Scary times.
am praying that situation does not arise, and pray to arise before that time is to be. If am forced to remain, maybe will still not have to worry. Truly, I do not know.
Nahhhhh..

Also there is this information about Virginia Sunahara

Why is there no record of Virginia Sunahara’s Birth & Death any-longer ???
Yet! She has a marker in a Veteran’s Cemetery in HI......

I believe she was born in one hospital then transferred to another hospital due to the severity of her health before she died.
Granny Madeline Dunham had access to all of the death certificates in HI...... This may be the smoking gun we have been waiting for!!
Taking and using a birth cert from a baby that didn’t live long, plus grabbing a soc sec number from an old person that didn’t use it very long are THE hallmarks of criminal/nefarious activity, whether it be for defrauding or for creating a new identity due to espionage/undercover.
No bet, a virtual guarantee. If it is "found" an analysis will show that it in now way matches any other microfilm from the local records. I'd wager a bottle of good Tennessee whiskey on that.
Someday—soon—the truth will comeout. The very worst thing that can happen to Obama is to win a second term—He is being de-constructed as we speak. When it all comes out there will be scandals we have yet to hear about. He will become a laughing stock. Couldn’t happen to a better fellow!
The best thing to do is increase your withholding exepmtions to the point where you owe the degenerates at the IRS a little bit at the end of the year instead of letting them use your money interest free and fight to get a refund because they are too retarded to ensure tax fraud doesn’t occur.
Social Security number from Connecticut?....Computer-generated Birth Certificate released in PDF format ONLY?....Selective Service card with fabricated P.O. date stamp?....Not a 'natural born citizen'?....Hawaiian hospital microfiche records missing only for the week he was born?.....Suspended law license?...."57 States"????....Nahhhhh.... We need MORE evidence!

For his 2008 campaign efforts, received a Nobel peace prize and the money associated with it, in advance of actually doing anything concrete towards world peace. Although the proceeds were donated to charity, receipt of the prize and the recognition that goes with it is still a violation of federal law, constituting a bribe or influence-peddling.

Sorry thats all for now. Had to look up the "hot mic" quote to Medvedev, but other than that, it was pretty much off the top of my head. Obamacrimes website is pages and pages and I have not skimmed it lately.

Oh, and feel free to add to the list, any and all.
The Plot Thickens? Not! For the last year an email containing false information has been swamping the internet. It claims that the person who first used the phony Connecticut social security number that Barack Obama now uses has been identified. The number was issued in March 1977 when Obama was fifteen years old and living in Hawaii, which makes it impossible that it ever was assigned to him. Before the Social Security Administration started to randomly assign numbers in June 2011, they were assigned by the address in the state where the person lived when they applied for their number.
Obama never used 042-68-4425 until 1986, at the age of twenty-five, although it does show up on what is now purported to be his forged Selective Service information in 1980. In 1986 you would think that since he had already attended Occidental and allegedly attended Columbia that the number could be found before then.
When that number was run through proprietary databases, not only does Obama’s name appear but so does the date of birth of 1890, along with his allegedly real date of birth, August 4, 1961. But since he has fabricated most of his life, there are no guarantees that date of birth is real.
Someone found a person named Jean Paul Ludwig who was born in 1890, was assigned his social security number when he was living in CT and who died in Hawaii. So of course he has to be the guy? No. Someone took pure coincidence and tried to make it fact. Jean Paul Ludwig’s CT SSN is 045-26-8722 and it was assigned to him in 1951-52. The identity of the person who first had 042-68-4425 has yet to be uncovered, but eventually will be.
for later
I have read this before and it would not surprise me if it is true..but don’t anyone hold their breath that our Supreme Court will do a damn thing about it..they won’t..oh Roberts won’t.
“Someday—soon—the truth will comeout. The very worst thing that can happen to Obama is to win a second term—He is being de-constructed as we speak. When it all comes out there will be scandals we have yet to hear about. He will become a laughing stock. Couldn’t happen to a better fellow!”
I feel it is our Patriotic Duty to expose the facts that we find.... This Fraud cannot win another election..... He will have totally transformed out Country beyond ever restoring our Republic
“1. Back in 1961 people of color were called ‘Negroes.’ So how can the Obama ‘birth certificate’ state he is ‘African-American when the term wasn’t even used at that time?”
The one he will produce in Oct. will be “backdated” with the necessary info. We will be told to eat our peas and everything will be hunkey-dorey.
“The Plot Thickens?”
Susan Daniels was the Private Investigator is the person who found the information about someone else ‘s SS# being used by Obama. This other person was born in 1890... I am not sure if it was Susan who found the Name Jean Paul Ludwig.... Someone once reported in 2009 that this man was born in France & worked for a member of Congress. (if I remember correctly)
Some of the facts that have been blogged have been either scrubbed or twisted by Obama Chicago Thugs.

About 13 minutes into the press conference, Ogden, was introduced to discuss “joint DOJ and ATF operations”.
Ogden, who had been on the job for a mere 12 days,

“he was working ‘directly’ with the Attorney General” on the “implementation of these programs that included Project Gunrunner”.

The link you pasted is incorrect. That quotation mark at the end is the problem.
Yes, and it worries them very, very much. They’ve spent a lot of time and money trying to scrub this thing or things.
Oh it’s always “an accident” with this guy - and “a coincidence”.
a) Accidentally can’t produce a LFBC for a long time (3+ years) when the Nordyke Twins could immediately.
b) Accidentally has a Selective Service card post-marked the day before he signed it.
c) Accidentally has a Selective Service card which just happened to drop the year.
d) Accidentally has a sister and a grandmother who told different stories about his birth.
e) Accidentally had several reporters, who didn’t know either other and were in many, many places all report him as “Kenyan-born”. Was he lying hen or is he lying now?
f) Accidentally missed every America-hating sermon by Jeremiah Wright, Jr. such that he never heard such things.
g) Accidentally had a grandmother, the only one in the Western world who knew about his birth, suddenly die less than 48 hours before the election. How convenient.
h) Accidentally has (perhaps) a Connecticut SSN when he never claims any Connecticut residence.
i) Accidentally has all college records missing or kept from view.
j) Accidentally Breitbart is going to vet him and then suddenly drops dead.
k) Accidentally, the assistant coroner who worked on Breitbart autopsy drops dead.
l) Accidentally, now, a “typo” involved in his SNN?
m) Accidentally, the gay choir director of his church is murdered in December, 2007. Which apparently only a tabloid ran a story where the victim’s mother blames him and co.
n) Accidentally has “assembled” documents put out for public release regarding his BC.
o) Accidentally, neither of the two mentioned hospitals in Hawaii will publicly confirm his birth.
p) Accidentally, the governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie can’t find Obama’s BC either. Also, accidentally, the Hollywood Reporter says on several talk shows it is missing, then backtracks. How convenient.
q) Accidentally, the BC he refers to in his book, at his grandmother’s apartment in Hawaii, is never seen again.
r) Accidentally has a BC # out-of-sequence with the Nordyke Twins supposedly born the day after him (Obama 141 August 4, Nordyke Twins 137 and 138 August 5). Just another coincidence.
I’m sure I’ve left some off. One “accident”, perhaps two is believable. There are waaaay too many weird things here.
There is something they’re working very, very hard to bury on this clown. Now what those things may or may not be, is anybody’s guess at this point.
BHO, you are an impostor, a fraud. It’s just a matter of time. You will be exposed and held accountable.
Whose cover-up? ObaMao already has a SSN. Is this to provide cover for someone else planning to assume the Presidency under false pretenses?
Maybe the change is intended to make it much more difficult to guess someone's SSN based on their place and date of issuance.

I Agree!!
This Fraud in our WH needs to be removed & prosecuted for crims against America!!
Nice post. I have a question as I have been following this closely for awhile. With the nice post I’m sure people will read this. Ms. Daniels found a Ma. Drivers License from when he was at Harvard. Did anyone check the name? You need a BC to get a DL. What was used? where else has he had DL’s and under what names. Ma. can access that info via a DL abstract. Also, NCIC. Just a thought.
any company that asks for the last 4 of your SS probably uses it like a ‘PIN’
make up one, and use it, and no one will know the difference
I always use the numbers of the year i was born- they have no way of knowing it is not the last 4 of my SS
Thank you. I notice now that I had a couple typos in there.
I don’t know about that info but perhaps someone I pinged will be able to comment.
I haven’t seen syc1959 in awhile and no recent updates on his YouTube channel. I am wondering if he is OK.
Thanks. Hopefully someone can help get this info to Ms. Daniels and the blogging public. I have always thought that DL info(while somewhat priviledged) yields lots of info. If Ms. Daniels knew what SS# he used she has to know the name, dob, address, etc... There are also the associations with other States DL’s. You are usually asked if you hold a DL elsewhere and if it is active or ever been suspended. BO probably got an Ha. DL.at some point. He also must have an Ill. DL. Wonder what names and SS’s are on same. Are they valid? He would have used a BC in every state. There is no way around it.
BO does not actually own his own home. It is held in other names. Besides the tax fraud this presents, it begs the question that BO couldn’t put same in his real name as he would need a BC and SS# to obtain a mortgage. I believe he says he took a while to pay off student loans so I doubt he paid cash for the property. Then the Resko thing popped up with the property division. If it is not in his name, how can he take the mortgage deduction? His taxes are on record.
What ss does he(and Moch) used on same.
Anyone that can help would be appreciated. Thanks F15Eagle

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that. FYI. The sites for SS death index has been locked. I was on that all the time for investigation work. The ss# can be found rather easily on Lexis(or similar) search engine. What can not be found is the ss# and associated name if the person is still alive. The general public can not access that info. Anyone accessing Obamas info on NCIC, ss Database, etc... is going to be lost and never found. Look at the people who accessed his college records. They were hunted down and convicted in court. Probation given but no information got out to the public. If it had, these people would have been doing LIFE.

This is another scandal that just keeps growing. When it first became known that Rezko helped Obama buy his house, Obama himself called the deal “boneheaded”.
Now things look much worse, because Rezko ‘s lawyer owns the house. His name is William Miceli, and Obama formerly worked for him.

Why would Rezko’s lawyer own Obama’s house?
There are several explanations, and none look good. Obama tried to buy the house because Michelle wanted it. “According to My DD: Direct Democracy, in 2004, Barack’s wife, Michelle, was on the board of the Commission of Chicago Landmarks and in this capacity, learned of a designated historical home in Kenwood that was for sale — the home and the adjacent land at 5046 South Greenwood.”
But the sellers were asking more than the market value. They also insisted on selling the adjacent empty lot at the same time. The house and the two lots together made an attractive package, because it became a corner property with a big yard.
The price was too high for Obama, so he went to Rezko for help. Rezko’s plan was to buy the adjacent property on the same day Obama bought the house. Obama would still have to overpay, even for just the house. But once the whole deal was finished, the package would become a reasonably good deal.
Obama (or William Miceli) bought the house, and Rezko’s wife bought the adjoining lot. Then Obama got a strip of the lot from Rezko’s wife for about $100,000. This did two things. It expanded the house lot, which increased the house value. The picture shows a new fence that Obama had built along the new property line. It also made the adjacent lot so narrow, it’s unlikely anyone who bought it could make money building something on it. They might not even be able to get a building permit. So essentially the deal gave Obama a house and the use of two lots.
Michelle had the house she wanted, and the Obama’s had a house that looked “Senatorial”.
But the deal was unethical because Rezko had conferred a benefit by helping Obama obtain something he couldn’t otherwise afford.
And since Rezko’s lawyer actually owns the property, a benefit is still being conferred to Obama all the time he lives there.

(Note below Obama’s Mortgage was “ $903,000 over “ FM/FM Legal Limits)
*****************************************************************************
But wait, there’s more! The mortgaged amount is very high.Obama Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Chicago Home Mortgage $903,000 over Legal Limit It’s so high it violates the ordinary lending rules for Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, which carries the mortgage. This is probably legal, because the owners set up a complicated land trust arrangement to bypass those rules. But why? And who pays this mortgage? Why would Obama pay a mortgage on a house he doesn’t own? Does he just pay rent, while Rezko’s lawyer pays the mortgage?
But wait, there’s even more! It’s now clear the adjacent lot was overvalued by Rezko’s bank. At the time, an appraiser said it was worth $500,000. But Rezko’s bank unilaterally upped the value to about $650,000. This enabled Rezko’s wife to get a bigger mortgage on the lot.
Bank employee Kenneth J. Conner found out, and complained this was mortgage fraud. Overvaluing a property to get a bigger mortgage is against the law. Conner blew the whistle, but “he was fired”. Now he’s suing the bank.
Conner filed a civil complaint in October with the Illinois Circuit Court in Cook County alleging he was fired by Mutual Bank of Harvey, Ill., because he objected to land appraisals submitted on behalf of the Rezkos and the Obamas, with the complicity of the bank.
After he was fired, Conner told World Net Daily that the bank and the Rezkos were engaged in “fraud, bribes or kickbacks, use whatever term you want,” to benefit the Obamas.
But wait there’s even more! Rezko borrowed money for the deal from his friend and backer “Nadhmi Auchi”, a British billionaire from Iraq who was mixed up in the oil-for food scandal. Auchi has a very complicated past, and he’s very litigous about any mention of his name.
Does Nadhmi Auchi effectively own or control the house Obama lives in?

So you actually think that Breitbart was asassinated by Obama?
Seriously?
No. Where did I say Obama assassinated Breitbart?
I didn’t say that at all.
All I’m saying is it is pretty dang amazing how this guy with a huge national audience declares that he’s going to vet him.
And then drops dead. And then the assistant coroner involved with his autopsy drops dead.
The police were investigating it.
“Poisoning suspected in sudden death of coroner’s official”
“At this point we haven’t ruled out foul play,” said Lt. Alan Hamilton of the Los Angeles Police Department. “It is one of the things being considered. We are waiting for the coroner’s results.”
It’s another set of the long bizarre incidents surrounding this guy.
If you don’t think something funny is going on with his documentation, well then, maybe the leftists at snopes are a source you might believe.
It’s quite obvious that something is up. And the liberals spin every single thing surrounding Obama as a “typo”. or a “coincidence”, when he’s clearly being quite evasive about his past.
There’s obviously something very wrong with this guy’s past.
Are you telling us all to just trust Obama as a victim of happenstance his whole life?
And that we should trust the leftists at snopes to explain away all the mystery?
fyi
Being the Constant Skeptic that I am, I checked four SS numbers that I know against the SS state listing.
My father, who got his SS number in about 1940, lived in Minnesota. His SS number is a Minnesota number.
I got my SS number in the 1960s when living in Wisconsin. My SS number is a Wisconsin number.
My mother got her SS number in about 1940. She may have lived in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Michigan when she got it. She definitely did not live in Iowa or even travel to Iowa at that time. Her SS number is an Iowa number.
My husband got his SS number in the 1960s when he was in high school. He had only lived and worked in Iowa. His number is a Minnesota number.
So... of four numbers, two are from correct states, two are from incorrect states.
Personally, I find it very believable that the SS admin screwed up Obama’s SS number. They screwed up half of my family’s!
I challenge you to check your SS numbers and those of your family against the listing of SS numbers by state. I’d be real curious as to the reliability of the state designations. It’s obviously not 100%!

*** In 1975 the CIA developed A SECRET ASSASSINATION WEAPON***
Existence of a “secret assassination” weapon came to light. The CIA had developed a poison that caused the victim to have an immediate heart attack
http://www.sott.net/articles/show/232912-Assassinations-by-induced-heart-attack-and-cancer
In 1975, during the Church Committee hearings, the existence of a secret assassination weapon came to light.
The CIA had developed a poison that caused the victim to have an
“immediate heart attack” . This poison could be frozen into the shape of a dart and then fired at high speed from a pistol.
The gun was capable of shooting the icy projectile with enough speed that the dart would go right through the clothes of the target and leave just a tiny red mark.
Once in the body the poison would melt and be absorbed into the blood and cause a heart attack!
The poison was developed to be “undetectable” by modern autopsy procedures.
I don’t care. Bury your head in the sand. While Hawaii and Connecticut are far apart in distance, the two zip codes differed by only a single digit. Typographically, they are as close as adjacent states. Deny it all you want, but mistakes are obviously made every day by the SS administration.
