PREAMBLE
This week has been quite enlightening as to the blatantly obvious fact that our “Fourth Estate” press corps have been transmogrified into propaganda ponies polly wanna crackering whatever may be handed down to them from “The One Corporation - your source for everything…” (cue eery theme tune). They don’t report the news anymore. No. Now they tell you what they want the news to be. There’s a huge difference.
For the record, my law suit was brought to remove three candidates from the ballots - three candidates who have big Constitutional issues as to their eligibility.
At the time of his birth, Obama was a British/Kenyan citizen by descent of his father. Because I pointed out pesky international laws which governed his citizenship due to the fact that a father has every legal right in the world to have the laws of his nation apply to his son, I have been labeled a conspiracy freakoid of nature.
Never mind that I included demands for Panama John McCain and the Nicaraguan born Roger Calero to also be removed from our ballots. No, they don’t want to talk about that do they - because it would blow the “he’s just another Obama hater” mantra clear out of play.
A citizen (me) raised the Constitutional issue of first impression as to the meaning of “natural born Citizen” in Article 2, Section 1, of the United States Constitution - that ultimate pesky legal document for those who would rather “be” the law instead of following it.
What are the Fourth Estate propagandists worried about? Thou doth protest too much. Me thinks so. Why? Because the law is against their man - it indicates Barack Obama is not a natural born Citizen of the United States. And most of the media pundits have basically agreed by default. I say this because when yelling and mocking the issue, their main argument is not that the law is on their side (they know it isn’t), but rather that the law shouldn’t be discussed at all.
PRESIDENTIAL PRECEDENT
Other than the fraud perpetrated by Chester Arthur (see prior stories), every post grandfather clause President of this nation was born in the United States to parents who were US Citizens.
In their wisdom, they recognized the danger in having people born under the jurisdiction of another country taking the role of commander in chief.
They did this recognizing that multitudes of loyal men wouldn’t be eligible, but they also knew that they couldn’t see into the soul of all possible candidates, so just to be safe, they put a restriction in the Document which is there to protect us from a sneak attack in the oval office by somebody who might have loyalty to another nation.
The framers themselves were good men, loyal to this infant nation, but they recognized that people like them had to be excluded from future Presidential eligibility as an order of protection.
McCain and Obama know that.
And in my stay application, I never accused either man of disloyalty. Quite the opposite.
*snip*
As to John McCain they would have found this:
Senator John McCain is an American patriot who has valiantly suffered more for this country than most of us ever will.
He has shown bravery beyond that which the country has any right to ask, and it is with very deep and sincere regret that I respectfully request that this Honorable Court order the Secretaries of the several States to remove John McCain’s name from the ballots.
I couldn’t have shown the candidates more respect. But both of them should have known that if either were to become President - despite the loyalty they have for this country - the dam would be broken and the waters of foreign influence would be forever capable of drowning our national sovereignty and placing our military in the hands of enemies from within.
IT’S NOT ABOUT OBAMA OR McCAIN - IT’S ABOUT WHO COMES NEXT. THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT AND FALLEN ON THEIR PRESIDENTIAL SWORDS TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY

Rest at link
Ed tries to “break” stories and makes wild claims of the number of listeners. Ed seems to “take the bait” far too often. He is a decent guy but needs to show some self restraint.
I was told by Ed in the chats to lay off bashing Lan the jerk.
This is very sad. Leo is a great guy. He is trying his best to uphold the Constitution. I had some optimism that SCOTUS might also uphold the Constitution but the electors are meeting monday and if SCOTUS was going to act, I would have thought they would have moved on Friday. I will still hope SCOTUS gets it and pushes the Cort’s case to a full hearing but I am not optimistic.
I agree. Leo is a good guy. There has been little upside in all of this for him and probably lots of harassment when it is all over. I support Leo not talking to the press. They have agenda to protect Obama at all costs.
Lan Lanphere atbbed Berg and Leo in the back. Joe Thunder is pals with Lan. Ed Hale is a good guy but he is a loose cannon. The whole thing is pretty sad.
"This week has been quite enlightening as to the blatantly obvious fact that our “Fourth Estate” press corps have been transmogrified ..." Just goes to show that Leo does read at FR. He's a hero around these parts, and that won't chnage regardless of the 'bad press' the fifth column enemy of We The People spittle on him.
“The whole thing is pretty sad.”

Guess Leo’s done with everything and didn’t plan on doing radio interviews anyway.
See- (Obama has Twin)

Stan: (Ref: Obama has Twin By: Leo)
Why have you chosen to put this up here now? Don’t you think it works against everything you’ve been doing? Or is your intent to go out in a flame of glory? swh
Leo:
[Ed. The case will be denied. I don’t think they ever wanted anything to do with it. Look what they allowed the clerk’s office to do to my case and Cort’s, flagging Cort’s for anthrax and everything else they did to stop it from reaching the justices. Bickell must have been operating under orders from higher up the food chain. The fact that he still has a job there is frightening.
Bickell has protection but the Constitution does not.
On Monday, the United States will wake up with no Constitution. It’s all over for this Country as a Constitutional Republic. It’s done as done can be. My case was strong, and Cort’s case was virtually air tight. But factions of the Court didn’t want these cases before them because now they didn’t want the burden of history on them. Now they have no excuse. The natural born citizen issue was squarely before them. All of the resulting damage and the blood of the Constitution is on their hands forever.
Cort’s case will be denied on Monday. And that will signal the very end of the nation’s unique Document.]
Heartbreaking. Leo and Cort gave their all and I am afraid Leo is right. SCOTUS will probably do nothing.
Don’t take Leo’s blog as the fact he or Cort lost their SCOTUS cases. In fact, there are some who believe it as his site being hacked, OR that he’s up to something else.
Think about it....
Cort’s “not available for comment,” AT ALL.
Leo did NOT give his “point by point breakdown explaining why the application I prepared for Cort’s brief was so much stronger than the one in my own.”
Then Leo breaks off contact with Ed yesteray and then his crazy blog last night...
...we may be in for a big surprise...
I also think Leo is preparing for a letdown tomorrow by the SCOTUS as he feels our Constitution is dead if the Justices don't act. He is most likely right. I cannot give up yet and will hope for the best tomorrow. I am counting on Justices Roberts, Thomas, Scalia, and Alito to uphold the Constitution.
If it does not go well tomorrow, then it is on to the next plan of action. God Bless America!
I personally think Leo and Cort are good guys. Cort drove all the way from CT to DC in the middle of the night to get his filing there.
I am still hopeful that Scalia, Alito, Thomas and Roberts will defend the Constitution and the Republic.
I hope it is a positive suprise. Maybe thomas, Scalian, Alito and Roberts have the guts to stand up for the Constitution. I sure as hell know Leo and Cort did. Both of them are heroes in my book.
