He sought advice and confirmation of Barry's eligibility and his orders being lawful from:
* legal assistance at Aberdeen Proving Grounds - Result = Ignored him
* his commander and supervisor - Who acknowledge there IS an issue. - Result = They don't know what to do
* Submits Article 138 complaint to his company commander - Result = they tell him his Article 138 complaint was deficient, so the Army didn’t have to answer it.
* LTC Lakin then writes letters to his congressional "representation" - Result = 1 Senator ignores him, the other say's the issue was "twittered" and therefore resolved and his Congressman forwards this issue to military affairs but apparently doesn't get answers to Lakin's questions and concerns.
* After being transferred to the Pentagon, he raised the issue with his clinic’s commander - Result = Commander acknowledges there IS an issue BUT had no guidance as to what to do.
* LTC Lakin then submitted another Article 138 complaint, this one routed through General Casey - Result = General Casey wasn’t in his chain of command, so his Article 138 complaint wouldn’t be addressed.
* LTC Lakin then goes to Capitol Hill for face-to-face meetings with one Congressman and high-level staffers. They acknowledge there IS an issue BUT but the media ridiculed it. Result = they let it go.
"Concern About Obama's Eligibility Throughout the Chain-of-Command"
Your right Starwise...this immensely important issue deserves it's own thread.
Thank you !
Lakin is standing up for The Constitution. The courts and legislative support the elites. Money talks. We are serf and the military are cannon fodder/targets to amuse the Saudi king and Islam.
This is so outrageous- it has always been so- no one in D.C. seems to have any idea how to handle this problem.
I hate to even think it but it seems there’s a good case to be made for racial-backlash-blackmail keeping the citizens in the dark about the nature of the president’s background.
Makes ya wonder a lot, doesn’t it.
Excellent post as usual rx.
Sad to say though, this reaction by our military to me is prima facie evidence that we the people can no longer rely on our military to defend us against treason from within. They have shown they won’t do it and will in fact crucify one of their own officers to avoid defending this nation against a domestic enemy. They don’t care about this nation anymore, they only care about personal careers and advancement through the ranks. I used to think it would be ridiculous to even suggest that if commanded to shoot or herd their neighbors and relatives into the nearest gulag they would fight. Now I’m convinced they will do whatever they are ordered to do.
Prima facie evidence #2 as to my belief being the correct one is the response over and over on FR from fellow freepers willing to jump on the same military bandwagon seeking to crucify another officer rather than get to the truth of the matter of Obama’s eligibility. If a conservative website can’t come to this officer’s defense why would we think anyone else would?
I hate to admit it, but I’ve given up. We’re well on the road to tyranny and I no longer see any way out of it. We’re toast when our own military won’t defend us any longer.
If that is really the case then I can foresee the DADT repeal bringing more “birthers” out from the shadows.
It is surely going to pass now that Scott Brown-eye has sold out. If there is to be an immediate backlash, it could involve this upcoming change that many officers and enlisted men/women do not support.
*Glass half full analysis*
Yeah- it makes me wonder. But...these days I wonder about things I’ve taken for granted my entire life.
This entire situation is a MESS.
Well then, if the media says so.........seriously? WTF?
It is pretty obvious that if you stand up for freedom, you are standing alone in this country.
The most egregious response is “the media ridiculed it”.
Almost like telling Virginia ‘there is a Santa Clause’.
I have to agree with you CG - we are doomed if the military is ever asked by this tyrant to turn its guns on us.
The only defense to the military’s paralysis is that they are well aware of the crisis and are keeping silent until 2012. They better have a back-up plan if Wikileaks lets the cat outta the bag.
Standing up for The Constitution is not going to become a popular thing to do if our courts and legislaters have anything to say about it. It will absolutely ruin the introduction of Sharia Law into our Court rooms and communities.
"I have not yet begun to fight!"
I understand what you’re saying and in my heart I agree with you, but:
My brain is asking how in the world do we fight against OUR OWN military, while our own govt is becoming increasingly corrupt?
Where are the leaders who would lead the charge to take our country back? Its crickets. Just one bugle call to meet on the green or something to that effect and I will be there, come hell or high water. But the call isn’t going out!
He was advised to go to Afghanistan and then raise the issue while he was on deployment. He considered this a “worse” option. He said it would be “extremely wrong to raise this in a combat zone.”
Ah, wie so.
David wants Bathsheba and sends word to put her husband at the front of a big fight, where he is killed.
Wrong for Lakin to raise the issue in harm’s way 1/2 a world away?
What, disn’t he know that he should have talked to Holbrooke? Or Russert?
How can this be good for morale? Geeze! Obama could resolve this with a nod of his head. I strongly suspect that he won't because he CAN'T!
“I can foresee the DADT repeal...”
...having a by-product of sending the LBGT crowd into the fray first. Right up the middle, at dawn.
By themselves.
Like to know which one of the brain trusts said that. Udall and Bennet are both in the tank for 0bozo either way.
Don’t give up. It is us, the people the military defend, who inspire the military to their sacrifices in the first place.
I think perhaps they cannot SEE or HEAR the support that is in reality there for them... and without that... they see no reason to force the issue.
Don’t give up.
This fight will not be over until that cretin is shown to be an usurper. I don’t care if that takes another 5 years. I want HISTORY to record that we KNEW and we fought him. That we never gave up on exposing the cretin for what he is, an usurper. If nothing else, I want to see he never makes a dime on the lecture circuit, and Michelle ends up wearing used goodwill clothes instead of her designer boob-belts. I want them disgraced for the eyes of ALL history, for everyone to see their shame.
That if nothing else is my mission. Don’t give up!
