Bombshell: Orders revoked for soldier challenging prez Major victory for Army warrior questioning Obamas birthplace
Posted: July 14, 2009 9:53 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling
A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.
His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders.
A hearing on the questions raised by Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, an engineer who told WND he wants to serve his country in Afghanistan, was scheduled for July 16 at 9:30 a.m.
As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a natural-born citizen, he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief, he told WND only hours after the case was filed.
[Then] any order coming out of the presidency or his chain of command is illegal. Should I deploy, I would essentially be following an illegal [order]. If I happened to be captured by the enemy in a foreign land, I would not be privy to the Geneva Convention protections, he said.
The order for the hearing in the federal court for the Middle District of Georgia from U.S. District Judge Clay D. Land said the hearing on the request for a temporary restraining order would be held Thursday.
[Cook] said the vast array of information about Obama that is not available to the public confirms to him something is amiss.
That and the fact the individual who is occupying the White House has not been entirely truthful with anybody, he said. Every time anyone has made an inquiry, it has been either cast aside, it has been maligned, it has been laughed at or just dismissed summarily without further investigation.
You know what. It would be so simple to solve. Just produce the long-form document, certificate of live birth, he said.
He told WND he would be prepared for a backlash against him as a military officer, since members of the military swear to uphold and follow their orders. However, he noted that following an illegal order would be just as bad as failing to follow a legal order.
Update: Guess the DoD has compelled the termination of the plaintiff. How predictably rich. Its a $7 document Barry, given the billions being funneled to Acorn via your porkulous boondoggle, cant one of their thugs buy or make a counterfeit? Zheesh.
“... the only mystery being why there are so many citizens corrupt enough to obsfucate for this depraved criminal.” The criminal enterprise democrat party is a large enterprise. And they have been infecting the federal oligarchy for decades. Also, there is a very sickening level of greed which blinds some and just plain stupidity which forms herds of the rest of them. I’m sure you realize that the criminal enterprise ACORN org has had appropriated billions to come from the ‘stimulus’ ... and A prominent congressman from Detroit has the balls to openly tell the sheeple he doesn’t see any reason to investigate of call to accounting the ACORN slugs who are under indictment in 14 states! But then, william jefferson of Louisiana was caught red handed with bribery money in his freezer and demcorats re-elected the scum. Common characteristic of Jefferson and Conyers include being black and racist and power mongering using their congressional seats, and ... well, you get the gist.
Sometimes , even though I should know better, disregard the extent to which the cultural marxists have contaminated and corroded nearly every critical institution of our civil society. Thanks for the slap to get my head right.
Believe me, if there was a slap, it was delivered with tears of deep sadness for my Nation now transformed. The people just haven’t caught up yet. The ‘change’ is now in. We the people are the tax serfs serving a democrat ruled federal oligarchy. We are no longer living in a Constitutional Republic.
Yeah, so true. It wouldn’t bother me so much if it wasn’t up to now, the greatest country in the history of mankind, with the greatest measure of liberty, opportunity, justice and prosperity for the largest and most varied collection of people ever.
I shed blood and killed other human beings in this nation’s service. I would unheasitatingly do so again for the country that I have known and loved. I am not so sure about the country that Hussein and the DemocRATS want to turn it into.
Ignore the troll, is my advice.
Obama doesn't seemed willing to indulge you by producing it.
But I am certain that Hussein aint legitimate.
That may well be. But you're going to have to do the work of proving it on your own because Obama isn't going to help.
“That may well be. But you’re going to have to do the work of proving it on your own because Obama isn’t going to help.”
By George, I think you,ve got it!!!! At last, we have consensus!! We intend to do precisely that.
I’m seriously hoping Sarah will pick up on this... That the Major could apparently voluntarily unvolunteer as long as his orders weren’t ‘published’ is the story elsewhere on this thread. So were the orders ever published? did he have them physically in-hand?
What I’ve heard so far just doesn’t pass the smell test.
I’m thinking if he had been ordered to report, and refused, and then was court-martialed or discipline-hearing-ed for same, discovery would be an automatic part of that process, yes?
On relevant issues. But the military court would keep to the issue - ordered to report, didn't report. Odds of them letting him subpoena the president or delve into his background hover somewhere between zilch and none.
They had to have the deployment orders revoked so MAJ Cook would not have access to discovery
***Sounds a lot like what MHG says on these threads. Looks like zer0bama has a set strategy.
BTW, thanks for noticing. But I fear it is already too late to stop the final 'change' ...
