No Documents in Obama Library? No Mystery There.
American Thinker.com ^ | October 13, 2017 | Jack Cashill

The Fox News headline sums up the issue at hand: "No Obama documents in Obama library? Historians puzzled by Chicago center plans."

The article continues, "The Obama Foundation is taking an unconventional approach to the presidential center and library being planned in Chicago. It's opting to host a digital archive of President Barack Obama's records, but not keep his hard-copy manuscripts and letters and other documents onsite."

The Chicago Tribune broke the story that, to this point, has attracted no major media attention. Its headline raises much the same question Fox News did: "Without archives on site, how will Obama Center benefit area students, scholars?"

The Tribune tries to answer that question but succeeds only in pacifying Obama fanboys. There is no good answer, but there is an answer, and it is this: Obama is not a literary genius. In fact, Obama is not a particularly good writer. His reputation would wither if researchers were allowed access to original documents.

To this day, Obama supporters in the media refuse to accept what is obvious to anyone who has looked carefully at his literary track record. (Sorry, but I have vowed never to use the word "oeuvre" except as a punch line).

Earlier in 2017, when the question of Obama's gazillion-dollar presidential memoirs first surfaced, the publishing community showed just how much its studied ignorance affected its judgment.

"Mr. Obama's writing ability could make his memoir not only profitable in its first years but perhaps for decades to come," Gardiner Harris observed matter-of-factly in a September 2016 piece in the New York Times. Harris speculated, in fact, that Obama's newest effort would be a book for the ages, not unlike the memoir of Ulysses S. Grant, which continues to sell.

Don't forget his halo. He always had an angelic halo around his head. So messianic.

The documents exist but they do not want to put them on display. If they did, the liebary would be full of garbage bags with shredded beyond repair documents inside.

"No Obama documents in Obama library? Historians puzzled by Chicago center plans."

Judicial Watch: Obama NSC Advisor Susan Rice’s Unmasking Material is at Obama Library

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced that the National Security Council (NSC) on May 23, 2017, informed it by letter that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.

The NSC will not fulfill an April 4 Judicial Watch request for records regarding information relating to people “who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.”

The agency also informed Judicial Watch that it would not turn over communications with any Intelligence Community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically, the NSC told Judicial Watch:

    Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.



Can you say; "hiding the evidence, that they are hiding the evidence, that the Obama Administration was, and still is an ongoing criminal conspiracy?" --- boys and girls?

I knew you could!

Time for someone to release his records.

The thing is, if someone does release his records and they do indicate ineligibility, as I personally think likely [too many coincidences around the issue], consider what this indicates and the effects:

  1. All the cases that were brought to the courts and dismissed due to standing indicate a conspiracy among the judiciary.
  2. The congressmen who tried to pass off McCain as natural born; I can't find it now, but remember they had some resolution [IIRC] where they 'deemed' him an NBC.
  3. The issue of Nancy Pelosi and the two different nominating forms.
  4. All laws that were passed by Obama will become a grey area because of the unprecedented situation — while logically it should invalidate every bill he signed into law, doing so would open up every member of the Executive to prosecution due to acting under the color of law.
And that's just off the top of my head.
It's a lot like the FBI leaker who said if Hillary's e-mail scandal were really investigated it would bring down the government.

Nothing new here.

We’ve never had access to Obama’s “documents”.

“Mr. Obama’s writing ability could make his memoir not only profitable in its first years but perhaps for decades to come,”

Obama has average intelligence with no notable aptitude for writing. His books were all ghost written by people more clever than he is. He was propped up because he does have exceptional teleprompter reading skills.

The originals are going to be lost in a tragic fire, if they haven’t been already.

So the infamous OBAMA library may as well be a 50ft bronze statue complete with an altar where his worshippers can come and bow down to worship his image, also with a credit card swiping machine beside it so they can make "offerings" to their beloved god "Obama".

For making an offering of varying amounts you get to hear from a selection his speeches to enjoy the glory of his campaign and glorious presidential reign.
The nearby gift shop has various memorabilia for sale as well with the premium items being authentic signed items starting at only $1000 each for a simulated presidential pen, $5,000 for the poster sized profile portal with him in a pensive meditative mood and $20,000 for the exclusive full size cutout with audio chip recordings and motion sensors so that you will be greeted by your favorite president upon entering the room and you will be thrilled by hearing random quotes and speeches he made throughout the day.
Payment plans will be offered for all items on sale for everyone.

I know people who would actually do it.

well both of McCain’s parents were US Citizens and when he was born Panama was a US territory and he was born in US Navy hospital. There is nothing about him not born a natural US Citizen.

Is it?
I seem to recall multiple service-members here on FR reporting that they’d been advised in years past that birth abroad, even on bases, would deny them eligibility for the presidency.

Yes it is, otherwise he McCain could have never run for president. On the other hand that arrogant pos former occupant and fraud of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave should have never been able to run and if he had been vetted his campaign would have been very short.

What does that mean you seem to recall?

LOL — Just like how obviously ineligible Ted Cruz couldn't run?

On the other hand that arrogant pos former occupant and fraud of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave should have never been able to run and if he had been vetted his campaign would have been very short.

I agree he should have been properly vetted; now, given what you now know about globalists and the elite, ask yourself this:
Would it make sense for them to weaken the Constitution in general, and the obviously nationalistic natural born citizen requirement in particular, by putting two ineligible people up as the party nominees as 'precedent'?

What does that mean you seem to recall?

I remember several (like five or six, at least) different FReepers saying that they were told/briefed that having their children overseas would make them ineligible to the presidency.

Name it, The Ministry of Truth. Easy to edit digital.


 

 
 
 

Party ownership of the print media
made it easy to manipulate public opinion,
and the film and radio carried the process further.


 



16. Ministry Of Truth

.......

The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below.

The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further.

The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary.

Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs - to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance.

When his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. He dialed 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to rectify.

In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and on the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.

As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.

What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead.

In the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed. And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one-sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above, below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs.

There were huge printing-shops and their sub editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There was the tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed.

And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence.
