I can’t challenge your version of events and I certainly wish things had gone differently.
I simply can compare it to my Navy time.
You get your orders, report to the command.
Depending on the timing and whether you are filling a billet with an already deployed unit you travel to meet them or you leave with them.
Your orders in the Navy come from BUPERS (Bureau of Personnel) removed a few steps from the POTUS. The mechanics of it might be different for officers than for enlisted.
I guess my question is how on his 3rd deployment did he make the leap that this assignment was not a legal order.
The timing just feels odd, I will have to do more research until then.
I’m sorry it just doesn’t add up to me.
I hope his sentence has run and that he is out and has moved on.
I think a pardon would be nice but I think the chances are pretty slim.
Please be well.
Just a quick one here.
The courts said that it was nobody’s business whether the CINC was Constitutionally eligible - no “standing”. Lakin deliberately chose to be court-martialed so that he would have standing to get discovery of the records regarding Obama’s eligibility. He did that so that his fellow military personnel could know whether they could claim, if they were ever captured by an enemy, that they had been following lawful orders - or whether they could be classified as unlawful combatants who have no protections from torture and death.
A very important thing to know, and the a$$holes in the chain of command are total douches for not recognizing that and just giving Lakin and all the other military people the facts they needed. The truth of the matter, though, is that they couldn’t give Lakin or the others the assurances they needed because the truth is that Obama was NOT eligible. The HDOH has 3 times now confirmed that there is no legally-valid birth certificate for Obama in Hawaii.
The reason Lakin failed is because Judge Denise Lind ruled that foreign combat operations in the War on Terror don’t require Presidential approval - even though Congress’s Authorization to Use Force ONLY allows the President to authorize such combat operations. IOW, Denise Lind totally rewrote EVERYTHING about the chain of command and about the Authorization to Use Force, in order to keep Lakin from being able to present any evidence regarding the HDOH fabrications which enabled Obama to APPEAR eligible even though he wasn’t. Lind knew that if Lakin was able to present evidence that the HDOH birth index had been altered to include names from NON-VALID birth certificates, it would mean that the original records - paper and microfilm - would have to be inspected. She couldn’t allow that so she pretended that any Lt Col can give orders to deploy for combat without the President’s knowledge or approval.
Extremely serious stuff.
Lakin is a hero. And his instincts were absolutely right. Obama was a puppet of Venezuela, Cuba, China, Iran, and SErbia. See my previous comment for more info about that and for links to substantiate what I’m saying.
