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Before the meeting was over, LTC Lakin’s Pentagon Access Pass had been revoked, and his laptop computer was set to be confiscated.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
And if he sues then he can't establish standing because he can't establish a causal relationship between his injury and Obama's actions. He'll go down in flames and it won't change a thing.
I'll say. He's blown his career. God speed.
Prayers for this brave soldier. And he is a soldier of our CONSTITUTION, unlike the Congress and White House who could care less about it.
Lakin will have standing because you say he does? Now who has they crystal ball? Well, let's make sure the judiciary is aware that Red Steel has spoken and has rewritten the definition of standing for them.
Maybe Obama will pardon him before he leaves office...
Guys, you are reading this wrong. The person with the Congressional Medal of Honor awarded at age 19 is the ONE WHO READ THE RIGHTS, not the one standing up to Obama.
EXACTLY!!!!! Pretense, no proof.
And because you NS think he will not have standing? LoL!
You hope the civil courts will protect Obama’s backside as he is tooooooooo big to fail. Those days are rapidly coming to an end for the usurper. I’ve already proved you wrong once in the last 24 hours. We will just have to wait and see...again.
I was wondering that myself. The brigade commander has the authority & responsibility to make the arrest. The decorations that he wears of not part of the equation.
God bless him! I can't wait to contribute to his defense fund. I would love to see him collect over a million dollars for his defense.
Lakin will have his butt handed to him, as is proper.
Let’s see...in our system of government, does a LTC in the Army get to refuse orders from the President? Nope.
Oh wait, but Obama is an impostor. He only was allowed on the ballot in 50 states, won the popular vote, won the Electoral College, certified by Congress and sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after the latter refused a case challenging Obama’s eligibility.
Hmmm...under the Constitution, is the President subject to the fancies of a military officer? I think not.
Has Lakin found it in himself to resign in protest? Nope. He collects the pay, but refuses to serve.
He’s a loser, and folks supporting him should be concentrating on fighting Obama where it counts - in elections. Donate to JD Hayworth, or another candidate of your choice - but $$$ to Lakin is money wasted on an idiot.
Or maybe Lakin will escort him out of office.
of = are
From your lips...
We will indeed.
This could actually turn bad for Obama. While I’m sure Obama’s media foot soldiers will do their best to keep this quiet, it will eventually come to the attention of Joe Six Pack.
Will there be public outrage when Obama allows (by not intervening) a loyal officer to be court-martialled for serious crimes and sentenced to lengthy imprisonment and hard labor over a $12 piece of paper?
How will the sentencing of this officer be received by others in the military? Sure, some will say that he got what he deserved for disobeying a direct order. But will others begin to wonder why the staunch refusal from Obama to make absolutely clear that he is a natural born citizen?
Will instances such as this one escalate if the military decides that they’re being lied to regardless of whether or not a proper election took place? For the sake of discussion, let’s take it to the extreme and assume that an officer on duty in one our missile silos begins questioning the handling of Lt. Col. Lakin’s case and decides to join him in his refusal to obey orders?
Maybe I am naive about the innerworkings of the miliary, but this seems like it has the potential to snowball downhill quickly on Obama.
Last report I read, have no idea how accurate or not, but something like 85% of our military are now firmly against the Obamanation.
I seriously have to wonder if not dismissing this like what happened with Maj. Cook, is deliberate. Deliberate on the part of the military powers that be to guarantee that one of theirs will be able to have standing in the courts and Obama is forced to reveal his hand.
So how far do you have your face up Obama's rear end?
