You Have the Right to Remain Silent (LT Colonel Lakin Read His Rights)

Safe Guard Our Constitution ^

[Man50D]

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Before the meeting was over, LTC Lakin’s Pentagon Access Pass had been revoked, and his laptop computer was set to be confiscated.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

The view of the higher command being that their careers are more important than the constitution.

I'll be honest and admit they are trapped between a rock and a hard place. They must fear a period of chaos if Obama is proved ineligible as POTUS.

I agree. Sometimes people post stuff like “But Biden the idiot would be president” or “imagine Pelosi - she’s even worse” etc.

But they’d all be neutered at best, in severe legal hot water as well. They’d be no more.

Ah, now I see what you goons are so worried about ...

Tea Party Movement Spreads To Military
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2492368/posts

The Tea Party movement has gained a foothold in the armed forces ...

Court Martialing ONE soldier is commonplace; Court Martialing dozens or HUNDREDS more because they doubt Obama's Eligibility is quite another. As soldiers are accustom to self-sacrifice, it's VERY possible, as many other would gladly suffer the SAME fate to UPHOLD their Constitution.

Don't worry ... "Global Warming denial" started small, too. Now, it's mainstream.

Furthermore — and I hate to burst your bubble — your OBVIOUS and feeble attempts in INTIMIDATING others who might follow Lt Col Lakin’s lead is yet another of Obama's (and YOUR's) ...

[oneolcop]

au contrare, mon frere: The point I was trying to make is that should his commanding officer, the only active duty holder of the Medal of Honor also participate in the action of the LTC, the powers that be would have to court martial two officers, one a MoH holder.

This would force the generals to expose themselves to publicity the likes of which they do not ever want to see. It might be the match that sparks the Pentagon to prove that the Commander in Chief is/is not a usurper.

The generals are trying to ride out the tempest without risking their careers. This just might be the way to force them out.

I realize that there are those who truly believe that obama is lawfully the president. I say let them prove it through this case.

I realize that the uniformed services are loathe to enter the political arena for good reasons. But the generals took the same oath to the Constitution that I, as an officer took. Let them stand with the constitution! I'm happy to contribute to two defense funds.

Not all are as nuts as you.

"Do we know if Obama has exercised the rights of a citizen in the U.K. or in Kenya? (Let’s set aside the BNA of 1948 for now.)

Do we have any evidence that he exercized his foreign citizenship rights in either of those countries before becoming POTUS? (Set aside the passport issues for now.)

Has Obama taken any action when visiting either of those countries that would indicate he is behaving as anything other than American citizen?"

Good questions. I'm sure nobody here could answer those one way or another, definitively. Yet MORE unanswered questions surrounding the guy.

Although, on the flip side, if one does not exercise certain rights as a citizen...does that mean the are not a citizen?

[pissant]

He’ll get the McDougal treatment.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Or how ‘everyone knows’ that both parents must be American citizens for someone to be a natural born citizen? Sorry, but it isn’t my attitude that sucks, it is y’alls research.

That's a huge insult to some very dedicated researchers here who have uncovered some extraordinary history vis a vie the NBC issue...historical facts that you evidently have no clue about.

Go spend some time on this thread and learn something before you make a bigger fool of your self than you just did..

But not as nuts as stopping F-22 production.

With airframe attrition, that is a free gift to America’s enemies.

The guy won’t even stand near an F-22 in a public appearance, it has to be a 30-year old F-15.

I don’t even want to go near his promise to take “ICBM’s off hair trigger alert” stuff.

That thesis of his, I would put a bet on it proposing unilateral nuclear disarmament.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Thank you, but I was looking for America.

Well said!

[little jeremiah]

Don’t forget Oath Keepers. Someone freepmailed me something from IIRC DU. They’re a bit freaked over there about it.

Matt Dillion will not be there.

Thanks for your words of wisdom./s We would all be lost w/o them./s

He knows the ramifications of his actions, but he's falling on his sword, so to speak, to advance a higher cause, as HE sees it.

As many others see it, also, but not willing to take the sword. Their career vs. the higher cause - only a man of character could make the right choice. It's not about him but his country. Too far fetched for the spineless to grasp.

[OafOfOffice]

To be honest I think the Obama administration will try to trick Lakin out of a court martial.

If he doesn't then he will have to be really involved and control the trial every second. Of course Rahm, Axelrod or Gibbs will be the middle men. His most trusted thugs. Obama doc's will be requested.

If he is setup and sentenced without evidence, all hades will break loose.

[BP2]

> Not all are as nuts as you.

Funny.

Your side said the same thing about Lewinski’s Blue Dress.

Then, when Bill Clinton’s LIE was exposed, the counter-argument
changed to “it’s a private matter.”

Good luck with that THIS TIME. LOL

[pissant]

Excellent summation

[pissant]

As was his intention.

I agree. He’s a fraud only in terms of anyone who thought he was pro-American. He never advertised himself like that - except the sheep were more caught up in electing someone black that ever questioning his background.

However, when certain things were brought up - he did deny i.e., the messages given at his ‘G-D damn America and hate whitey’ church.

“They (whitey) acted stupidly” w/o knowing any facts. Despite his 20 yr attendance he claims he never heard those messages. Along w/his commie friend/advisor, ‘he’s just a neighbor’. So when confronted - he did deny - there was deception. So he is a fraud and busy damning America.

"The Constitution dictates what shall take place if a President-Elect fails to qualify. As you know he didn't fail to qualify because no legitimate evidence of disqualification was presented."

Pure B.S.

Section three of the Twentieth amendment reads as follows:

"3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”

The term "if the President elect shall have failed to qualify" is describing an action of "the president elect", not that of someone who might be challenging his qualification. This CLEARLY places the burden of "qualifying" upon the President elect. Since it is Congress who is instructed to act upon whether or not a "qualification" has been met, this "qualification" must be made to Congress. My congressman has the legal standing to demand that this proof of qualification be presented or the "President elect" cannot be President. Inaction by my congressman in this matter does not remove the WRITTEN REQUIREMENT of section three of the Twentieth amendment.

In fact, inaction by Congress in this instance is breaking their oath of office to "support this Constitution" from Article six.

The text of Article two, Section one CLEARLY states:

" No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President"

This means that any President elect who has "failed to qualify" cannot be President. Period. Just because Congress has not upheld it's oath of office to verify qualifications doesn't make someone ineligible to be President a legal President. If Obama has "qualified", my congressman has the standing to demand to see his proof. If he has not "qualified", then he isn't really President at all but a usurper.

"Or maybe those actually in the military command structure have a very different view of these events than yours."

Could be but I must ask, what do you believe "my view" is?
