Summary: The Passport Office claims in a memo submitted with an affidavit in the Strunk case that in a 9-month period in 1984-85, 40 workers sorted through 125 million passport files and destroyed all the "routine" records from 1925-1961. Four big problems:
1) somebody was able to get routine records from that time period which were obviously not destroyed,
2) there appears to be no record of that destruction ever being authorized.
3) the sorting they claimed is physically impossible in the timeframe they claimed.
4) the Passport Office charges $50/person (or $150 for a third party) to search the records and doesn't say that most of the records for 1925-1970 don't exist.
There appears to be a high likelihood that this memo, submitted with an affidavit, is a complete fabrication - an excuse for not showing Stanley Ann Dunham's pre-1967 passport records.
The full report is at my blog at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/the-whopper-that-got-away-4/ In the first comment I will try to post the entire post with links. We'll see how that works.
I think it’s hilarious (though maddening at the same time) that the White House’s office of disinformation put up a post about Obama’s eligibility and “archived” it after 3 comments.
Methinks they didn’t want to get an earfull.
People are realizing what’s going on.
This particular claim (destruction of passport records) is critical because it is in an affidavit in a lawsuit that has to be resolved. And the law requires a paper trail for both a change in disposition and the actual destruction documents. We’re still looking, but the places where that paper trail should be have shown up nothing. The claim itself gives no citation. The retention schedule seems to show a continuous retention period of 100 years, with no intervening temporary changes referenced at all.
butterdezillion, thank you so much for all the hard work that you have done and are doing. You are a true patriot.
WOW.
Did I ever tell you I think you are absolutely BRILLIANT?
This is a huge whopper.
This is mostly Phil’s baby; I’m just the typist (and getting by on that with some help from my friends too. Thanks, NB 54! lol). But thanks so much to everybody for the encouragement. It makes it a little easier as I watch the dishes piling up and wonder if I’m wasting my time. lol.
This definitely is a big whopper. I can get dizzy just riding a swing; I can’t imagine how I’m going to feel after the Passport Office spins this. lol
The mystery giving up it’s secrets, the OBOTS and the trolls will be in for a whirl of a surprise and stupor when they find out the truth.
Bump for later read. :0)
Lets see if I have this right, there was a 100 year retention period for passport records, they were taking up too much storage space and sometime before 1984 they divided those records into two groups and changed one group to 15 or 20 year retention.
Then they had 40 superclerks go through and sort through millions of records at lightning speed (these are govt employees) and destroy the new class of records between 1984 and 1985 and then they changed the retention period back to 100 years for records that were already destroyed?
Why change it to 100 years and not keep it at 15 or 20? Why microfilm the same type of newer records before destroying them if the records were determined not needed? Why not just microfilm the old records and save space that way instead of destroying them? Would it be cheaper and cost less in the long run to microfilm the old records and store those instead of sorting through them and seperating them?
The State Department charges for searches so apparently its not a losing proposition for them.
Imagine a few hundred Freepers requesting their old passport records..or maybe just records of deceased celebrities or politicians...hmmm, by jove I think I’ve got something there, we know Congressmen & celebrities travel lets take a peek at their records, find out if they have been destroyed! Somebody start a wish list so we don’t duplicate. Instead of paying the $150 just FOIA them...ROFLMAO Lets See FDR, Nixon, JFK....
Wouldn’t geneology groups like the Mormons want to preserve those records and offer to take them off the govt’s hands and store them themselves?
Sounds like Hawaii uh 0 and long form birth certificates well we dont have them anymore but the law says we have to keep them so the truth is we really have them but don’t want anyone to know. Then Hawaii changes requirement for long form for Hawaii Lands without noticing the public as required by law....why all the chicanery?
curioser and curioser..
Is one man worth all this?
It is reaching a saturation point.
Butterdezillion: Thank you for your perseverance and hard work. It will pay off.
Messing with records, and LYING about records.
Thanks again for the incredible work that you have done.
Number one: it seems to me very likely that the 1965 passport application is hidden for the following reason: she first got a passport in 1960 Born in 1961 for travel to somewhere — for example Kenya or Canada.
Passports at that time were valid for three or five years so the time periods could have been 1960 up to 1965, or 1961 to 1964 or up to 1966 depending on the validity — whether it was valid for three years or five years. This is why the data cannot be released for the 1965 application, because it would show what was happening in 1960 and 1961.
Number two: shouldn’t some people now request for copies of their first passports or their parents passports to see what comes back for the period 1950 to 1970. Clearly, one person has already received information from the 1950s, but it would be better to use information from the 1960s.
Just a few would be required.
Lt. Harris didn't get away THAT easy!!!
Nazi Pelosi issued two notarized different affidavits of the usurper's eligibility forms, hmmm???
Thank you butter!!!
Thank you again. Stay away from wasting productive time “dialoging”(???) with “AFTER-BIRTHERS,” they are here to tear you down with usually talking points!!!
Point well-taken.
There doesn’t seem to be a very loud response back against what we’ve found on this. lol
