New Defense Strategy Proposed for lt. col. Terrence Lakin (Maj.Gen. Paul E. Vallely)
ThePost & Email ^ | 9-14-10 | Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely (Ret.)

*snip*

Today’s statement relates specifically to the ongoing courts-martial of Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin.

September 3, 2010 – Upon receiving word that LTC Lakin would be denied any and all access to discovery and mitigating evidence needed to provide for a legitimate defense, a White Paper was prepared and released by The United States Patriots Union and The United States Bar Association, advising the Lakin defense team to immediately adjust its defense strategy in accordance with established history and law concerning Mr. Barack Obama’s constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief.

In short, to drop the search for an insignificant birth certificate and focus on the right question at hand. A second White Paper was published last week.

We believe that there are only two potential outcomes of this courts-martial, and that both outcomes bring certain challenges. Our first priority must be to unite in defense of LTC Lakin in an effort to arrive at the best possible outcome for both Lakin and the nation.

*snip*

It is our opinion that the existing legal team representing LTC Lakin should be re-energized and reinforced immediately by a more experienced military legal team.

This is exactly right.

A few points here:

1) By his own admission in his writings, Zero ADMITS that he is NOT eligible - i.e. his father NEVER was a US Citizen, therby invalidating any claim for Article II, Section 1 Natural Born Citizenship.

2) As such, COL Lind’s ruling and the entire Courts Martial process is also invalid as the the authority to convene a Courts Martial derives from the authority of the President of the United States (National Command Authority) and this CAN NOT be abrogated.

3) The defense should go for OPEN SOURCE (i.e. Obama’s published works) as evidence that he has freely admitted to point 1.

What have I missed?

Here’s EXACTLY what we are dealing with on NBC threads:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2594943/posts

“Artful concern trolling involves developing a believable persona as a supporter of a cause who has legitimate concerns. In an example of concern trolling, a group of people might be having a political discussion on a website about a candidate they support. The concern troll would log on and say “I’m concerned that this candidate might not be strong enough to beat the opposition,” or “I’m worried that the candidate’s history in the legislature might be a problem in the election.”

Once a concern troll has sowed dissent or discord, often he or she can sit back and let the other commenters do the rest of the work. When a concern troll has done the job correctly, the discussion will split, factions will emerge, and support for the cause will have eroded. Concern trolling can also be highly distracting, as people band together to oppose the concern troll, rather than discussing serious issues, including valid concerns which should be addressed.

Depending on the context, a concern troll may use a sockpuppet, a false account which conceals his or her real identity. In some particularly infamous cases, members of political campaigns have trolled the opposition using sockpuppet accounts with the goal of undermining grassroots support. When these cases are exposed, it can be quite embarrassing, as trolling is generally viewed as an underhanded and often questionable tactic.”

In that case, Congress had passed a act which the POTUS (John Adams) had essentially modified and that Commander in Chief modified act was then passed to the Secretary of the Navy who then transmitted to the Captains of the armed vessels.

The Captain followed the illegal (POTUS) orders, which were given to him (directly) from the Secretary of the Navy.

This is essentially identical to the Lakin case. The Captain in 1799 didn't receive his orders directly from Adams....but rather from someone in between (Secy Navy) the chain of command.

The orders were illegal from the very top of the chain of command, the POTUS.

Sowing discord. Divide and conquer. Side-track. Yep, we see it all.

We have to major in the majors.

I believe there is such a thing as unintended consequences though. I think back to Ender Wiggins, for instance. He told a bunch of lies, thinking to cause troubles, but in the end his lies forced me to further document what I was saying and I ended up with a much more solid argument. He meant it for evil, but it was turned to good.

And that has happened in so many different ways that by now, when I get frustrated I just pray, “Where to now, Lord?” because I know that the obstacle cannot actually harm me or anything that God wants done. It can redirect me, and sometimes that redirection is the best thing that could ever happen.

So I think there’s a way that even what is intended to harm our effort can actually further it. So much depends on our willingness to be redirected in pursuit of the truth, or to meet the challenges or skeptics head-on.

Those who will not listen to reason at all blow their cover and everybody recognizes them as trolls.

Most FReepers are smart. They do their research of past posts and keep a list. Concern trolls are easy to spot unless they are new.

“Technically it’s not a two-parent requirement, but a one-parent requirement as defined by Vattel”

I believe that in the 1700 on up through the early 1900’s when women got the right to vote, that a womans citizenship followed that of her husbands.......therefore if the husband was a US citizen so was the wife......

That is, a woman did not hold citizenship separate from her husband’s. Vattels says “parents” then goes on to talk about the father only.......

Your thoughts?

“Because if he sustains his claim that he was born in Hawaii, he is a citizen at birth under the 14th Amendment and has all the rights of a citizen including but not limited to the right to claim he meets the Natural Born test for Presidential eligibility.

There is no right to be President. Sorry!

During the Quasi-war with France, it was found later by the US Supreme Court that President Adams gave an unlawful order to the Navy, and following that order, would be for military commanders who "acted at their own peril."

http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/militarylaw1/a/obeyingorders.htm

The situation today is worse than it was then. For the reason that we have entered into international military treaties regarding the rights of prisoners and the civil legal responsibility of persons who act under lawful military authority that turn on the condition of the authority under which the individual acts.
