Clearing the Smoke on Obama’s Eligibility: An Intelligence Investigator’s June 10 Report
The Western Center for Journalism ^ | June 10, 2009 Report, updated July 18, 2009 | staff

Posted on 07/26/2009 7:20:56 PM PDT by kellynla

Editors Note: In December ‘08 a retired CIA officer commissioned an investigator to look into the Barack Obama birth certificate and eligibility issue. On July 21, 2009 westernjournalism.com obtained a copy of the investigator’s report. Here is an unedited version of the report.

The Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii

I think that I now understand the legal background to the question of where Obama was born.

Let’s begin with the statement that Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the Director of the Hawaii Department of Health released on October 31, 2008. The television and print media used this statement as a reason to prevent and treat with contempt any investigation into whether Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii. But the language of the statement was so carefully hedged and guarded that it should have had the opposite effect.

“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record. Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”

It is understandable that after such an apparently definitive statement most news outlets, whether conservative or liberal, would accept this as sufficient grounds to relegate the controversy to the status of a fringe phenomenon. Unless they happened to take the trouble to look into the “state policies and procedures” as laid down by the relevant statutes. If they had done so, they would have seen that Dr. Fukino’s press release was carefully hedged and “lawyered” and practically worthless. But the media in general should not be faulted. The statement seems to roll out with such bureaucratic certainty and final authority. I believed it to be significant until a Honolulu attorney mailed me the relevant statutes. I was so surprised that I laughed out loud.

“There is a entry in a newspaper announcing BO’s birth. This had to come from someone at a hospital and is convincing proof that he was born in the US.”

You’ll notice that EO was most likely his first official act in office. An EO to hide documents.

Yes, it is excellent report. However, what did Hawaii do in regard to the Long Form BC? That could be a real problem...

I’ve read some more. If I didn’t know better, Hawaii DOH is practicing deception that could be construed as obstruction of justice at a future date, if Obama turns out to be ineligible as president.

Confession time: When I first started using the net didn't realize that if you clicked on the brightly colored words you got “the rest of the story”.

Up till that realization, Couldn't figure out where the folks were getting ALL THAT INFORMATION they were discussing.

OTOH they could be obstructionists.

This article in now way “clears up the smoke” on Obama’s eligibility but it certainly does fan the fire.

Report is excellent. Wish we could get a copy of
it in everyone of the MSM hands.

If everyone sends it out to everyone on their email adress lists and they send it out to everyone on their list, and the next does likewise...How many degrees would it take to cover the nation?

Heck, if what’s being reported is true,
they could be an accessory or co-conspirator
in a major crime, couldn’t they? Would that
crime be treason or a felony .. have no clue?

OK .. now I’m getting a little skeptical ... if an owner of World Net Daily is the founder of The Western Center For Journalism, why isn’t this report being FIRST published on World Net Daily ??

There is a entry in a newspaper announcing BO’s birth. This had to come from someone at a hospital and is convincing proof that he was born in the US.

I'm not sure. (And, BTW, the newspapers say they always got birth information from the state, not a hospital.)

* Assume Barack Obama born (who knows where?) on July 4, 1961.

* Obama enters Hawaii from who knows where?

* Parent, grandparent applies for COLB on August 5, 1961 saying "he was born -- unattended -- yesterday"

* COLB issued

* Vital Statistics department sends data to newspapers for announcement

* Announcement published August 13, 1961 (which it was)

This is just speculation on my part but would it work?

I wonder if Farah still has an “interest” in The Western Center For Journalism?

There are 2 errors of some importance in this report. Anne was not 17 when she gave birth. She was 18—4 months short of her 19th birthday and therefore 4 months too young to confer citizenship. Also when speaking of a possible Kenyan birth the author says “maternal grandmother”. It was his paternal grandmother. These should be corrected because those who want to deny the eligibility problem will focus on these kind of technicalities.

“Anne was not 17 when she gave birth. She was 18—4”

That’s what I “thought”
wasn’t she born 11/29/42?

Media campaigns organized by Brown have been studied for their effectiveness. These campaigns include the 1988 campaign of Americans for Bush during which he produced the “Willie Horton ad” and the TV campaign in support of the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

From 2001 until 2006, he served as the executive director of Young America’s Foundation which saved Rancho del Cielo, Ronald Reagan’s Ranch and Western White House. As executive director Brown oversaw the preservation of the historic ranch home and the building of the 20 million dollar Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara, California.
