From Jeff Schreiber's Interview Below With Philip J. Berg

With Supreme Court Conference Looming, a Q&A with Philip Berg (Excerpted and all credit for the interview to America's Right at:http://www.americasright.com/2009/01/with-supreme-court-conference-looming-q.html )

Stepping back for a moment and looking at that original action, at the end of this week your petition for writ of certiorari will be in conference in the United States Supreme Court. Back in August, I remember being in the room at the Clerk’s office doing my regular job when you filed this suit. At that time, did you think it would get to this point, to the Supreme Court on the eve of the inauguration?

I’ve always hoped it would, Jeff, because it is such a major issue. We are really in virgin territory, because this has never been seen before.

In this case, we really went into the details with regard to Kenya versus Hawaii versus Indonesia and what each possibility meant for Obama’s citizenship and his qualifications to be president, as opposed to the other suits where they conceded that he was born in Hawaii and depended upon the definition of the Natural Born Citizen clause.

How can you concede something with no proof of that? Sure, Obama’s provided a document on his Web site, but the document provided by Obama is deficient, if not fraudulent. We’ve shown that it was forged.

We’ve thought all along that we were on right track, and when Judge Surrick dismissed the case from district court and said that Obama was fully vetted when he wasn’t, and said that we don’t have standing, it just didn’t feel right. Obama wasn’t fully vetted. Not at all. And someone has to have standing to question whether a basic guideline in our Constitution is being upheld.

It’s been a long battle, and I am thrilled that the Supreme Court is looking at the case, especially at such a crucial time.

For those who always ask about possibilities, what can the Supreme Court do? I've addressed it before but, in your opinion, will they just look at the standing issue, or do you think there’s a chance they’ll look at the merits?

The Court can remand it to a lower court, saying that I have standing. But they can also retain jurisdiction and look at it themselves. They can grant standing and also order that the documents we’ve requested be produced. It’s the Supreme Court. If they think it has value, that it’s a question that needs to be answered, they’ll do it.

Really, I’d love to see what Obama does if he has to produce the documents we asked for. I don’t think he’d provide a fraudulent document to the Supreme Court like he did on his Web site – that would be perjury, and often times they don’t get people on the big crimes but get them on things like perjury.

But, yes, they can hear it themselves or they can remand. We’ll see.

The likelihood, of course, is that it gets denied.

Odds are odds. Sure. Still, this is a monumental hoax and the time is right for them to hear this case.

Speaking of timing, what do you think is the significance of January 9th? Is it significant? Why do you think you were the first case into the Supreme Court, but the last case out?

I don’t want to say anything to blow it, you know, but I think we’ve got a great shot. They could have thrown us out weeks ago. January 9th could very well be a significant day in all of this, because Obama will actually be president elect instead of designate.

On November 4th, he just got the popular votes. We tried to show that he shouldn’t have been on the ballot so we could avoid a constitutional crisis, but that obviously didn’t work. On December 15th, he just got the electoral votes. We pushed to stop that vote but were obviously unsuccessful. Those votes will be counted on Thursday, and barring anything drastic like a congressman standing up to protect, he will finally be President-Elect Barack Obama.

Georgia Congressman John Linder has reportedly mentioned that he might stand up to object to the counting of the electoral votes. Of course, there are so many wild rumors flying around with regard to this issue, I’ve just been numb. Still, if that’s true—and I should try to get in touch with his office—what do you make of it?

I heard about that, but like you I don’t know if it’s true or not. If it is, I think it would be great. I think all members of Congress should stand up and object. They can only ratify the vote of a qualified person, and like it or not there is an issue out there that that person may not be qualified. We’re headed for a constitutional crisis, we’re headed for a situation where Obama could be blackmailed.

People in the upper echelons know that we’re right. Obama has been vetted by the FBI and the Secret Service and other agencies responsible for that sort of thing. We have that information from people overseas. He’s been vetted, and those agencies, those people in the upper echelons know the truth. They have to. Howard Dean had an obligation, on August 22nd, a day after I filed this lawsuit, to call Obama in and ask him, “are you natural born, is there anything to this?” They know what’s going on. And there are people out there with more money than I have, far more powerful than I could ever be, and they’re finding out the truth. Certain people in this country know what’s going on, too – Dean, Michelle, Barack, and more. They should be subject to our criminal justice system.

But blackmail would--

He can be put into a position where he can be blackmailed internally and externally. This cabinet, for example, is a shock. Robert Gates? What’s to say that the defense people didn’t sit down and say something along the lines of “play ball or else?” I don’t know for sure, nobody but those in the room knows for sure, but you can’t tell me that people aren’t aware of this.

This cabinet really isn’t a cabinet of change. What’s to say that what we’re seeing is not internal blackmail? Obama has been vetted, people have found out the truth, and this is what could be happening.

Come on, Phil. Obama is a politician. He’s being pragmatic, just like someone like Ron Paul couldn’t govern completely from the right. How much of Obama’s cabinet decisions, that pragmatism, is just due to the fact that he needs, politically, to govern from the center?

Look, if you want to govern from the center … let me put it this way: People who are just elected can govern from the center after a year or two into their presidency. They don’t have to come to the center immediately. Obama didn’t have to come to the center immediately. He could really do what he wants for the first few years. He got an overwhelming vote in November, it was like a landslide. What was it, 52 … 54 percent? There’s no reason to move to the center now, is there? Other than “if you want to be president, play ball.”

He didn’t run from the center. Obama didn’t run as a guy who would choose Robert Gates. He ran as a candidate of change, and this is not a cabinet of change.

Okay. Back to the case. With the conference on the injunction a week after the conference on the petition for cert, what do you make of that? It would be moot, considering that the injunction was to stay the Electoral College vote. Do you think the scheduling is because Justice Scalia knows more about three of his colleagues than he lets on, and things that they’ll grant cert on Friday, or do you think that they’re merely putting all aspects of this case through the progressions so as to ward off future actions?O

I don’t know. It could be either. It certainly is interesting. Two conferences make it unique. The order of the docket entries kind of makes it unique.

By scheduling the injunction for a week after the petition, does that mean that they are considering the injunction ahead of time? I don’t know. Either way, I’m encouraged that the case is still there, that we were the first ones in and now the last ones standing. Hopefully, the Court sees the significance of the issues, especially right now.

We’re still alive, and while we’re still alive, there’s still hope for our country.

We’re less than three weeks away from the inauguration. In retrospect, do you wish you had filed the original suit earlier?

Really, no. We did it before the Democratic National Convention, and by doing so we gave the Democratic Party a chance to properly vet Obama at that point. Because Howard Dean didn’t properly vet him, I think he’s in for collusion and other crimes. But getting back to your question, I think the real shame was that Judge Surrick delayed in issuing his opinion in the lower court. Still. We’ve moved the case on, and I think we’ve got a great shot on Friday.

Look at it this way. If I hadn’t started this case, and if you didn’t cover this case, there may have been no other cases raising these questions. The number of people in the United States, from coast to coast, who are aware of these cases is just amazing. I mean, it may just be a supermarket tabloid, but we’re on the cover of Globe magazine, I think, two weeks in a row. John Edwards’ affair started in a supermarket tabloid.

Yes, I wish that the Supreme Court ruled a month ago that we are right. But it could have been thrown out numerous times, and it hasn’t been. We’re still alive. Cards are falling into place for us, like the amazing things which fell into place and allowed the Philadelphia Eagles to get into the playoffs...

The Case of Berg vs. Obama is scheduled for two Conferences on January 9th and 16th, 2009, this interview gives some great background info and insight into the twist, turns and evolutions the case has taken. Especially significant is the "blackmail" potential by his own (Obama) cabinet!

A president with secrets can be blackmailed. By his own cabinet and by foreign governments.

Obama has a lot of secrets.

Our dimwits may want to put their heads in the sand, but you can bet the Chinese, the terrorists and all our enemies and potential enemies know he was born in Kenya, and they know he is a fraud they can use.

This is soooooo frustrating.

The courts are trying to make this go away by using technicalities and procedural denials.

The Supremes are chicken!

I would not be terribly surprised if it were revealed that Obama was foreign-born and the American electorate didn't even care! Such is my low opinion of the teeming masses at this time.

We need to better educate our people.

I'm beginning to think that the documents will reveal that Obama Sr. is not BHO’s biological father. The same people who waived away Clinton's felonies in office as just “having sex and then lying about it” would have no trouble laughing off a Kenyan birth, but writing a whole book about a man who Obama knew was NOT his father might be more of a shock to the hypnotized Obamabots.

I don't know. I fear that little or nothing will tarnish Obama in the eyes of many. They see what they want to see, and any negative info on Obama is just seen as evidence that “people are out to get him.” Remember Marion Barry.

I hope I'm wrong!

Does it even matter?

There are so many nitwits in this country that view him as the Second Coming. Like Rush says about the Clintons, 0bama could be caught on camera robbing a bank, and he'd have defenders saying that he's just trying to help the poor with the loot.

We're in for a long four years ...

Same thing with the Blago tapes. Tons of blackmail potential.

Is Obama another Madoff?
What's the difference between Madoff and Obama?
In each case it has been those around him saying that he is great and he has never had to show valid documentation attested to in support of that position.
Obama the Madoff of Washington.

That vile worm E. Howard Hunt blackmailed Nixon in the days after Watergate.

It was Nixon’s tape-recorded decision and order to pay Hunt and the Cubans off that was the “smoking gun” which led to his resignation.

When I think of all the government departments, health insurers, and licenses where a birth certificate is required, this makes me furious. Even Ebay requires a cope of your marriage certificate to change your name! What the hell? Also, I adopted an infant from India years ago and it took three years to get his citizenship. I sent in dozens of papers. This is sooo typical of the liberals to not require themselves to answer to anyone. Yet, they are the ones that want increased regulations on everybody else.

That’s meeeeeee!!! That’s *my* rumour starting!!

Of course, it’s not a rumour because it’s what his staff told me on the phone themselves, but by golly, it’s out there! Don’t know if he’ll cave in, but he’s aware at least.

Too bad Saxby isn’t as intellegent.

That excuse might work...

Real bank robbers like John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Babyface Nelson, and Bonnie & Clyde did just that.

They often drove their getaway cars through Depression-era “Hoovervilles” throwing out bundles of stolen cash. Floyd often forced bank managers to hand over all the mortgage notes in the safe and he’d burn ‘em. If they hadn’t yet been recorded the owner ended up with a free farm AND any money he borrowed by using it as collateral.

This is why they were often folk heroes.

Of course none of that prevented any of these so-called Robin Hoods from dying in a hail of police bullets............

I’ve had similar thoughts as yours (that Obama Sr. is not BHO’s biological father), and that the ignorant (Democrats) electorate didn’t have a clue right up to election day, nor do they care about the Constitution, etc. since I started following the possible Kenyan birth of Obama. I think your last observation is right on and I hope you are wrong too!
