Washington, D.C., April 13, 2010. Army doctor Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin yesterday met with his brigade commander, Col. Gordon R. Roberts, who proceeded to read LTC Lakin his Miranda rights, and who informed LTC Lakin he had the “right to remain silent” because LTC Lakin is about to be charged with serious crimes. Col. Roberts was at age 19 awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the only recipient of the nation’s highest honor currently on active duty in the Army.
LTC Lakin had previously been ordered in writing to report yesterday to Ft. Campbell, KY and then on to deploy for his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Lakin refused to obey these orders and instead came to work yesterday morning at the Pentagon. Late yesterday afternoon he was confronted by his brigade commander.
Before the meeting was over, LTC Lakin’s Pentagon Access Pass had been revoked, and his laptop computer was set to be confiscated.
The message to LTC Lakin is clear; through official channels, he was informed yesterday that he will shortly be court-martialled for crimes (specifically, missing movement and conduct unbecoming an officer) that for others has led to lengthy imprisonment at hard labor.
Lakin has announced in a YouTube video that has now been viewed more than 110,000 times that he considers it his duty to refuse to obey orders that would be illegal if President Obama is ineligible to hold office.
Meanwhile, cries mount for proof of that eligibility, but nothing has been forthcoming. The Obama campaign at one point released a copy of computer-generated abstract of information purportedly in Hawaii's records system, but the source of this information is unclear and need not have been a birth certificate issued contemporaneously and signed by the doctor who attended the birth. Even the document released was only a copy, and the version printed in the Los Angeles Times on June 16, 2008 is on a form only in use since late 2001. Even as it is, the document contains a warning that it is merely “prima facie”--threshold, rebuttable and thus inconclusive --evidence of birth, and the copy the Times printed mysteriously has the certificate number blacked out, thereby rendering the document unusable according to language on the bottom.
Given the seriousness of the offenses with which LTC Lakin is about to be charged, the American Patriot Foundation today renewed its plea for donations to its legal defense fund for LTC Lakin. Details are available at APF's website, www.safeguardourconstitution.com
They certified his election. By definition, that means they agree he was eligible, and elected.
I find it mildly interesting, but suspect Obama is playing with us by keeping the issue alive by not releasing all the documents. I suppose there could be some irregularity he is loath to disclose, however. The liberals I know park their ideals on the curb when it comes to personal comfort and welfare. I find it very implausible that girl would travel to Kenya to have her baby, especially given the great expense and time involved in that kind of travel in the early 1960's.
The issue I am MUCH more interested in is Obama's college transcripts. Issues like what has his major, what were his grades, was he an affirmative action baby, what did he actually do on the Harvard Law Review, since he didn't write anything?
Except for the 100 members of the Senate who signed McCain's SR511.
and you have not answered my question either.
Pedantic poltroon
Even if she was only 30? Or had lived in the US for only 10 years?
“That is the whole point of the charges we executed people on in Germany after WWII.”
We executed them for following orders that everyone knew were illegal. If Obama gives orders for the military to round up and execute Republicans, the military will refuse because the orders are illegal.
We did not execute anyone for obeying orders because Hitler wasn’t legitimately the head of Germany.
“Even if she was only 30? Or had lived in the US for only 10 years?”
In that case, she wouldn’t be certified on all 50 ballots, elected by popular and Electoral votes, certified by Congress without ANY dissent, etc.
That didn’t apply to the situation at all. Someone found this information, and wanted to throw it into the article, but it is irrelevant to the subject (I am sure we all took those silly standardized tests about which of the following does not belong).
Since I posed the first question and you posed the second question, it would be proper for me to answer your question after you answer mine.
Always knew that you were a mouth-breathing idiot, N-S, but this statement takes the cake.
Since you asked, wait and see. FWIW, there is no reason for me to doubt Lakin’s sincerity. There is plenty of reason to doubt his sanity. Personally, I would love to know who it was who convinced him there were legitimate questions about eligibility.
That being said, what slam-dunk “evidence” has been uncovered since a year ago when the birther issue was deemed, uh er uh, (how do I say this politely?) uh, “less than brilliant....” What new legal ground has been broken since a year ago? If there is none, then there is unlikely to be any change in the MSM, or among the mainline conservatives. Plus, we are now in an election year and every reasonable conservative is going to run like hell away from the birther issue.
And if there is no change, and the fear of association with Birtherism, there is no place for Lakin to get support. In fact, there is less reason for Lakin to do this now, as opposed to a year ago. In short, Lakin will fall on his sword. Obama will come out ahead. Simple facts of life.
parsy, the realist
MoH's aren't handed out like Cracker Jack treats or Nobel Peace prizes. This is no sadsack soldier this is someone who was awarded the highest praise the Government has to offer a member of the Military.
This does not prevent the BC to be released in discovery, or used as evidence.
At the bottom of every short form COLB issued by the state of Hawaii it says the following: “This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”
Now wait a sec.....the Electoral College was calling Obama the winner in States where less than half the vote was counted with no clear winner...so don't go there with the electoral college BS...
No, McCain’s SR511 has nothing to do with Obama’s eligibility. It merely states that “children born to Americans serving in the military” are eligible to run for President even if born overseas.
:-)
From reading the thread, it seems to be a complete immersion. Obummer apologists are disgusting.
“....Thus, supervisors who directly oversee trial prosecutors must make reasonable efforts to ensure that those under their direct supervision meet their ethical obligations of disclosure, and are subject to discipline for ordering, ratifying or knowingly failing to correct discovery violations. To promote compliance with Rule 3.8(d) in particular, supervisory lawyers must ensure that subordinate prosecutors are adequately trained regarding this obligation. Internal office procedures must facilitate such compliance.”
