Soldier who says Obama isn't president doesn't have to deploy, Army says BY LILY GORDON

U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, the reserve soldier who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president, has had his deployment orders revoked, Army officials said.

Lt. Col. Maria Quon, U.S. Army Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Army Human Resources Command-St. Louis, said Tuesday evening, Cook was no longer expected to report Wednesday to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida for mobilization to active duty. Cook is an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA), meaning he is a reserve soldier assigned to an active component unit for duty. He is assigned to the U.S. Army Element of U.S. Southern Command. Last week he filed a request in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector through his California-based attorney, Orly Taitz.

March 2009 dismissal of complaint

October 2008 dismissal of complaint Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed the 20-page document on July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. In it Taitz asks the court to consider granting her client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. ... simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.” Documents show Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, two years after it became a state.

Earlier today, Quon said Cook submitted a formal written request to Human Resources Command-St. Louis on May 8, 2009 volunteering to serve one year in Afghanistan with Special Operations Command, U.S. Army Central Command, beginning July 15, 2009. The soldier's orders were issued on June 9, Quon said. "A reserve soldier who volunteers for an active duty tour may ask for a revocation of orders up until the day he is scheduled to report for active duty," Quon said. She added that there is an administrative process to request revocation of orders. As of this afternoon, Cook had not asked for his orders to be revoked, Quon said. She could not say why the soldier's orders were pulled today by 3 p.m. CDT. "Because of the Privacy Act I couldn't go into it," Quon said. A call to Cook's attorney this evening was not immediately returned. There are approximately 3,800 Individual Mobilization Augmentees in the U.S. Army Reserves. In addition to IMAs, the U.S. Army Reserves has three additional reserve levels, Quon said. Approximately 63,000 soldiers serve with the Individual Ready Reserves, meaning they have no routine training or attendance requirements and no pay; 188,000 serve as reservists, attached to reserve units; and about 16,000 soldiers serve with the Active Guard Reserve, Quon said. The latter group consists of soldiers who have volunteered to be on full-time active duty, she continued. A hearing to discuss Cook’s requests is scheduled to take place in federal court here Thursday at 9:30 a.m.

Translation: The Army is unwilling to verify whether or not Obama IS qualified for Commander in Chief.

Will the case get thrown out now because Cook won’t be deployed? Pretty quick moving on the ARmy’s part to avoid dealing with this.

Whatever happened to that soldier who was court martialed for refusing to wear the UN patch and blue beret when he was deployed to Kosovo? Clinton signed that Exec.Order that making it possible for our troops to go under the command of the UN. Bush never revoked it - so the fix is in on that one, too.

Thank you. I'm going to bookmark this and hope it doesn't disappear like the others.

Looking forward to reading the discussion.

Will this be a possible tactic to force 0's hand - bring suit after suit demanding he prove eligible to give orders as CIC. If more rescission orders follow in like fashion it will be hard to explain away.

Without a doubt — but they know it is useless even if it would be very good for the nation to have Obama’s fraud finally exposed and he be impeached and tried for it. Obama’s executive order protecting his REAL documents goes a long way to letting his fraud slide....such a crime against the people of this nation.

If I may?

Obama CANNOT revoke Maj Cooks' illegal deployment orders

Two illegal orders does not equal a legal order...

I just read that thread. Interesting take on the orders being withdrawn.

Keep the heat on him. The truth will come out.

I guess they are hoping this one just quietly goes away, now if there were a thousand of these lawsuits it couldnt be ignored. Either way it seems like the dike has sprung a leak.

There’s an even bigger translation: Obama just admitted he’s not qualified to be POTUS.

No legitimate CIC needs to rescind an order. He just forks up the necessary credentials then procedes to court martial the offending Officer. The fact that he doesn’t do so, nor the army, but RESCINDS the order is PROOF HE IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN AND CANNOT SEE DISCOVERY IN A TRIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a red flag.

I'd like to see other military personnel follow suit. If the Army continues to rescind these orders they will be very hard pressed for an explanation.

Sooner or later 0 will have to own up.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Unofficially, of course.

I agree every military personal who would be deployed in to harms way should stand up and say the BO is not the president and can not order them into harms way. If you have several thousand stand up then it will force BO hand.

Me too. I’d like to see the entire Joint Chiefs of staff join onto this suit. It would be a total checkmate.

I know I know, I’m living in a fantasy world, but its a nice dream.
