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.
I doubt this order came directly from the Army. This came directly from the top, aka the Obama administration. Major Cook has successfully called Obama's bluff, and now the damage control begins.
If our Army had half the balls the Honduran Army had it would be over with already...
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what comes next. I know what change I’m hoping for!
Yep. Moot case means dismissal.
Is an illegal order rescinding a previous illegal order more legitimate?
A precedent has been set. This will open the flood gates.
No, sooner or later the big Zero will just institute the national police force he has been planning.
Did the order to drop it come down from the er -ah- ?CIC??
I hope all service men now take up the slack and follow his lead. Get this into the open -— AND THE COURTS!!
Taitz said she will attend the hearing to amend the temporary restraining order to an injunction because more members of the military have joined the cause.
“We are going to be asking for release of Obama’s records because now this completely undermines the military. It revoked this order, but it can come up with another order tomorrow. It can come up with orders for other people,” she said. “Am I going to be flying around the country 1,000 times and paying the fees every time they issue an order?”
Looky...
Wow. This is amazing.
drudge still has the original story up. he doesn’t know the soldier doesn’t have to deploy yet.
Credit goes to Orly Taitz. She is leading the way. Now, if thousands of Military volunteers refuse Obamas illegal orders, Obama can be removed.
“It looks like we won already and not just on any day, on Bastille day
July 14th, 2009 I didn’t even need to fight, the administration blinked and showed it’s cards, actually they showed that they have no cards to play, as they immediately revoked the order for major Cook. You can see below, the revocation is below, saying he doesn’t need to go.
What does it mean? It’s proof that we have a totally illegitimate commander in chief and they will cave in each and every situation. It means that from now on any member of the military, who doesn’t like any order , needs to call Dr. Taitz, ESQ and state that he doesn’t want to follow the order, a legal action will be initiated based on Obama’s illegitimacy in office and the military will cave in. It means that for the sake of covering up for Obama and fraud perpetrated, top brass of the US military is willing to undermine integrity of the military. This has to stop.”

I am looking forward to the snarky comment by Gibbs when he is asked about the order being withdrawn.
>No legitimate CIC needs to rescind an order.
Not true. An illegitimate order, such as ordering troops to disarm law-abiding Citizens is illegal, and SHOULD be rescinded. (Though to persist in such illegal orders should/would be cause for the military to ignore the CIC and remove him from office.)
That's an understatement. What this does is completely turn upside down the entire chain of Military command. If you don't like your orders, sue, and the orders will be rescinded. Hello??? This DOESN'T HAPPEN! Unless somebody is hiding something really, really big..........Two words come to mind:
HIGH TREASON
This doesn’t make sense. Can any enlisted personnel now refuse orders to deploy because they questions obummers citizenship?
I said 'legitimate' CIC implying that the order would be LEGITIMATE not illegitimate.
I was not referring to ANY illegitimate orders. For a LEGITIMATE CIC to rescind a LEGITIMATE order which in turn has the direct result of disrupting the entire military chain of command is a red flag and an admission of guilt they are NOT legitimate orders!
Think man. At this point forward, any member of the armed forces who doesn't like his orders may now sue and the 'orders' will be 'rescinded'. How does a military operate that way. Answer? IT CAN'T! THIS IS BIG.
