The Great Birth Certificate Scandal/Cover-Up of 08 |
By Joan Swirsky | |
Monday, 24 November 2008 | |
Analysis: Last week, newscasters reported that al Qaedas #2 terrorist disparaged the election of Barack Obama, and hurled racial slurs at Obama himself. The report has not been confirmed by the State Department, they all said, but they reported it anyway.
Fox News reporter Carl Cameron told viewers that three anonymous insiders of Sen. McCains campaign said that Sarah Palin was, in essence, a diva and a dunce. He and dozens of others who picked up the story on other channels never identified, or even verified, the sources of the quotes, but they reported them anyway. Contrast these shabby examples of journalism with the legions of identifiable, verifiable and credible sources who for months have been investigating the disturbing allegation that Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency because he has failed to meet one of the three requirements that the U.S. Constitution mandates, specifically that he provide proof of his natural born U.S. citizenship.
What follows is a partial list of people and organizations that have challenged Obamas eligibility. Further on I will comment on how egregious the medias failure to cover this story has been. And last, I will speculate on the reason for the cover-up of this full-blown scandal.
Attorney Philip J. Berg, former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania and a longtime Democrat partisan, sued Obama and the Democratic National Committee for what he alleged was the DNCs failure to vet Obama, and Obamas failure to provide an authentic and verifiable U.S. birth certificate. The suit was dismissed as "too vague " Berg filed a writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct.30, to force Obama to produce his birth certificate. On Nov. 3, Justice David Souter rejected Bergs emergency appeal for the court to halt the tabulation of the 2008 presidential election results, but set a schedule for a response from Obama, the DNC and all co-defendants on or before Dec. 1. Berg claims to have a tape recording of Obamas Kenyan grandmother saying that she was present at Obamas birth in Kenya, along with his half-brother and half-sister. Here is his website. According to WorldNetDaily, blogger Jeff Schreiber said a second case was presented to the Supreme Court on the same issue, i.e., the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has waived its right to respond to a complaint brought by attorney Philip Berg, possibly among other reasons because they liked their odds of Berg's petition getting denied. Berg said that if the FEC filed not solely on its own behalf but on behalf of the DNC and Barack Obama too, it reeks of collusion." Dr. T.B. Bradley, a forensic psychologist, stated, as part of the Berg case, that, Upon reading all of the books written by or about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. aka Barry Soetoro (hereinafter Obama) Applicant discerned that Obama was not a natural born citizen of the United States or if he was a natural born citizen that he had lost his citizenship when his biological mother married Lolo Soetoro, a citizen of Indonesia. Obama then became a citizen of Indonesia as a result of his mother's expatriation of herself and her son, by self declaration on legal public educational records that Obama was formally known as Barry Soetoro, a citizen of Indonesia [and] was not US Constitutionally qualified to hold the Office of the United States Senator from Illinois or the Office of the President of the United States. Author, radio host, blogger, and Chicago attorney Andy Martin filed a suit in Hawaii's Supreme Court to compel Gov. Linda Lingle to release a certified copy of Obama's vital statistics record. His request was denied. On Nov. 18, he petitioned a judge in Hawaii for access to Obamas original 1961 birth certificate, and reported that the judge reserved judgment. But when he arrived back in the states, he learned that Judge Bert Ayabe had dismissed the case. Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes filed a suit with the California Secretary of State asking that the state's 55 Electoral College votes not be cast on December 15 until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. Keyes suit was filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, along with California Electors Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson. The action states: "Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States, and, thereby, his election declared void .(a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal." Former California Secretaries of State have reviewed background documents to verify the eligibility of candidates. In 1968, the Peace and Freedom Party submitted the name of Eldridge Cleaver as a qualified candidate for POTUS. Then Secretary of State, Frank Jordan, found that according to Cleaver's birth certificate, he was only 34 years old, one year shy of the age needed to be on the ballot. Mr. Jordan removed Mr. Cleaver from the ballot. Cleaver unsuccessfully challenged this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of California and to the Supreme Court. Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan, a retired 23-year veteran of the Army, National Guard, and Air Force filed another suit in North Carolina, which claimed Obama should not have been on the state's election ballot because his citizenship is in doubt. David M. Neal of Ohio filed a suit in Warren Common Pleas Court to force the Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied. Cort Wrotnowski of Connecticut asked the court to order Secretary of State, Susan Bysiewicz, to verify Obama's citizenship before allowing the candidate to appear on the state ballot. The case was denied. Steven Marquis filed a suit Washington State Superior Court, calling for Secretary of State, Sam Reed, to determine whether Obama is a citizen before Election Day, claiming the Hawaii birth certificate reveals neither the hospital where Obama was born nor a doctor's name the baby's footprint. The case was denied. Rev. Tom Terry of Georgia appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court the day before the election to determine authenticity of Obama's original birth certificate and his qualifications to be president. Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter denied Terry's request for an injunction against Secretary of State Karen Handel. Author Jerome Corsi, who has written extensively about this case, traveled to Hawaii and Kenya. He learned that the Certification of Live Birth that the Obama campaign posted is, according to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, not the same as a Certificate of Live Birth, which authenticates Hawaiian birth. Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born. In November 2004 she said he was born at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, but in February 2008, she said he was born in the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children. Before the election, the Internet site, WorldNetDaily, retained a private investigator in Hawaii to visit both hospitals, but he reported that sheriff's deputies were stationed at both hospitals to fend off inquiries. Leo C. Donofrio a retired attorney, started a website and filed a suit in New Jersey on November 3, asking Secretary of State, Nina Mitchell Wells, for an emergency stay prohibiting Obama, Sen. McCain, and Socialist Workers Party candidate Roger Calero, from appearing on New Jersey's ballot, claiming all three are not natural born citizens. On Nov. 6, Supreme Court Justice David Souter denied Donofrio's application. But the case has now entered the docket of the U.S. Supreme Court and Justice Clarence Thomas has decided to send it to conference on December 5th! This means that only 10 days before the Electoral College votes, the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will meet privately to discuss Donofrios case. Douglas J. Hagmann, director of HomelandSecurityUS.com, has reported that 17 lawsuits in 12 states are challenging the eligibility of Obama to become the next President of the United States. Numerous activist groups have undertaken letter-writing campaigns to the Supreme Court Justices, members of the Electoral College, and elected officials, as well as sending urgent appeals to the White House and the Department of Justice. Websites like Citizens for the United States Constitution, We The People, , America Must Know, and Faith2Action have sprung up in passionate defense of our Constitutions integrity. The last of these has even posted the names and addresses of Electoral College members from each state, as well as an ad in The Washington Times. Dozens of petitions, like this one, have been circulated. And dozens of mostly-conservative writers (including Devy Kidd and Miichelle Malkin), bloggers and journalists have written about his strange case and potential Constitutional crisis, as I have in a series of articles here and here and here and here. Coverage of the above by the media: Zero. A DEAFENING SILENCE It is no mystery that the leftist media have refused to mention this potentially looming Constitutional crisis in virtually all of their print and electronic coverage. Having shilled for Obama for the past two years dismissing his longtime radical associations, obfuscating his radical voting record, and taking a pass at their jobs of vetting a presidential candidate their failure to cover the most explosive story of the 2008 campaign speaks volumes about collusion of the highest order. Then there are the late-night comics, as well as snarky humorists like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, who take pride in being irreverent and outing both people and subjects that others avoid. Not a word. But what about the failure of the powerful conservative media how to explain their total blackout of this story? Lets look at their reactions: Fox News: Total Silence. Did the healthy shares that Saudi Arabia bought of Fox influence the networks non-coverage of this story? After all, its no secret which candidate the Saudis endorsed! We know that TV shows, including Fox, are on a seven-second delay, the better to bleep out offensive or inappropriate material. Doesnt it strike Fox viewers as strange that not one of their outspoken guests, even once, mentioned this story? Who warned them not to? Rush Limbaugh: Total Silence. Why has the Excellence-in-Broadcastings Dr. of Democracy the man who eats sacred cows for breakfast not touched this story? Mark Levin: Total Silence. Why has this popular radio host, commonly known as the Great One, abandoned his well-deserved reputation as a Constitutional scholar to studiously not address this Constitutional issue? Laura Ingraham: Total Silence. Here is another radio powerhouse and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas taking pains not to mention this case not a word! Bill OReilly: Total Silence. Yes, the guy who claims hes just looking out for the folks voiceless! Sean Hannity: Total Silence. The iconic radio and TV host who tackles every controversial subject under the sun missing in action! I could go on and on, but you get the picture. The very people the so-called loyal opposition who should have been shouting this story from the rooftops for months on end went mute. Ordinarily they would be the first to tell you that our Republic has no more precious document than the U.S. Constitution a document that set the stage for the greatest experiment in human freedom since the beginning of recorded history. People like me and multi-millions of others are aware of what happens when the salami tactics of tyrants are employed in the service of leftwing ideology. First, there is a charismatic character promising change and hope, but who changes his tune once in power. Second there is a whittling down of the laws of the land and the arrogant dismissal of the documents on which the nation was founded. Third there is the blacking-out of all media that disagree with Dear Leaders message. And fourth there is the rounding-up and incarceration or worse of all dissidents. This is not theory. This is history. But while both left and right media thought it appropriate to comment at length about Obamas seven-page for those seeking work in his administration a probing that makes a Pap Test, Questionnaire mammogram, colonoscopy, and endoscopy in one visit seem mild by comparison not one of these cowardly journalists has asked the simple question: Mr. Obama, where is your birth certificate? Or were they not cowards but patriots? SCROUNGING FOR ANSWERS Ive written several books, not one of them fictional. And thousands of articles, not one of them based on sinister suspicions or conspiracy theories. But the case of the U.S. medias complete non-coverage of this major story has gotten me to speculate on what or who may be behind this phenomenon. What force could be so powerful as to silence our countrys putative guardians of free speech the titans of the Fourth Estate? Perhaps the mystery goes back to 2004, when President Bush won his second term in office and in his first press conference in the White House said that he had "earned political capital and intended to spend it." Then suddenly and inexplicably he went into a year-long hibernation. He rarely appeared in public and gave no major speeches. Finally he reemerged albeit weakly in late November or early December of 2005 Could it be that shortly after the presidents reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from Americas ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years? Was America taken hostage? The president, one could speculate, had only two choices: (1) play chicken and possibly sacrifice the lives of millions of Americans and the destruction of major American cities, or (2) opt for the lesser of two evils, the second being to pave the way for a dangerous Trojan Horse qualified or not to capture the White House. Could it be that the media blackout of the most explosive story of any presidential election in American history has been choreographed by none other than the current POTUS the most powerful man in the entire world? This would certainly explain why President Bush has not been himself since January 20, 2005. It would also explain why the all-powerful media have taken his marching orders including the New York Times, which takes particular pleasure in undermining and sabotaging the president, even when it comes to national security issues. If this happened, it would have had to involve the highest echelon in our intelligence services, who might have paid personal visits to publishers throughout the United States, as well as to top TV and radio executives, who themselves would have passed down iron-clad orders to their anchors, broadcasters, even comedians to follow the blackout order or face Draconian consequences. On November 4 Election Day the Dow was above 9,000. It is now plummeting, suggesting that even the globalists among us prefer tax cuts and capitalism to tax hikes and not creeping but galloping socialism or what the esteemed Dr. Jack Wheeler insists is fascism. Buyers remorse is in the air. America has been hijacked. What a price we will pay if the Supreme Court and the Electoral College abandon their oaths to uphold the U.S. Constitution by capitulating as the media have to our enemies. God Save America!

Who Am I?
Posted on Monday, November 24, 2008 9:36:37 AM by UNscared
WHO AM I?
I was born in one country, raised in another.
My father was born in another country.
I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.
My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn’t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30’s then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them & if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine “A People’s Campaign” and that sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people ‘hope’ , together we could change our country and the world. So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include “persecuted minorities” like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation’s leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I’m glad they didn’t.
Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.
Who am I?
ADOLF HITLER.
WHO WERE YOU THINKING OF?
Thanks for the ping LucyT.
Have a great TDay also.
Unfortunately, I saw that after I mass mailed it. How embarrassing.
Someone ent me this, I’m looking for the link. But I bet they almost peed their pants on that question.
In a press briefing this morning, Deputy White House Press Secretary Tony Fratto ended the briefing by overtly avoiding a question regarding President-elect Barack Obama’s birth certificate and demands made by the CEO of WorldNetDaily that a long-form document be released.
From the transcript (video also available at the link HERE):
And Lester, and then we’re done.
Q: Thank you, Tony. Two questions. There’s been extensive media coverage of where the two Obama daughters will attend school. And my question: The White House believes that they should be able to attend the school their parents select without criticism because it’s private rather than public, don’t you?
MR. FRATTO: I think we support all parents making that decision.
Q: Good. The CEO of WorldNetDaily has called on the President-elect to release a birth certificate listing the hospital and names of parents. The White House believes that this would fully satisfy the constitutional requirement, don’t you?
MR. FRATTO: I don’t think I have anything to say on that, Lester, and I think we’re going to end it right there.
Thank you.
The question, it seems, came from Lester Kinsolving, a journalist known over the past few decades for his off-the-wall questions while working as a member of the White House press corps. Still, with the recent news that the Kenyan Ambassador “confirmed” to a radio host that Obama was born in Kenya (personally, their questioning left much to be desired, and reminded me of the classic deposition question, “So, when did you stop beating your wife,” in that it was designed to catch the guy off-guard), it seems that the story is gaining some traction.

I agree; the swearing-in is the best (and last) place to stop this Constitutional abomination.
I'm not one to give the opposition ideas, but, if there is, indeed, something profoundly embarrassing in BHO's (otherwise valid) Hawiian birth certificaate, if it does, indeed exist, simply sharing it with one person (Roberts) in confidence would solve the problem.
Otherwise, at the swearing-in, Roberts should simply state:
"As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, I have sworn a sacred oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. This candidate, Barack Hussein Obama, has not demonstrated that he meets all Constitutional requirements for attaining the Presidency. Therefore, it is impossible for any American to render to him the oath of office, and it is impossible for him to honestly and truthfully execute that oath.These inauguration proceedings are hereby terminated."
Then the incumbent President would be forced to declare martial law and call out the full force of the military services to quell the violent coup d' etat attempt that would erupt.
I posted the article. I guess I could have left off the part at the end where the author goes ballistic. Sorry about that.
There’s a saying that you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.
Its lousy when you just realize you’ve opened door number 2.
However, the conjectures by the author about why the media blackout sounds whacko.
That was also my feelings about this article. Was real good until he discussed the possible reasons for silence of the media. The following sounds like tin foil material to me:
Could it be that shortly after the presidents reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from Americas ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years?
Was America taken hostage?
The president, one could speculate, had only two choices: (1) play chicken and possibly sacrifice the lives of millions of Americans and the destruction of major American cities, or (2) opt for the lesser of two evils, the second being to pave the way for a dangerous Trojan Horse qualified or not to capture the White House.
“Obama just makes it worse by stonewalling his birth certificate.”
And to think that so many know the truth of that matter but have decided to keep quiet about it. It is not unlikely that Bush, Cheney, Pelosi, Heads of the CIA, FBI and SS know everything there is to know about this case but prefer to keep the truth from the citizens of this country.
Especially if these people know that Obama is elligible to be POTUS they should make this fact public, but on this too they are keeping quiet. It only shows with certainty that they have something to hide.
This was on MSNBC TV about an hour ago..
From NBCs Pete Williams
“If President-elect Barack Obama nominates Hillary Clinton to be secretary of state, many legal scholars believe it would be the former law professor’s first violation of the Constitution as president.”
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/11/25/1688640.aspx
BTTT.
“...then I got to the end and nuclear suitcases were thrown in out of nowhere. ????”
Yea, that made me go “wha????” Somehow Bush is involved???
How quickly the worm has turned:

Leo Donofrio & Lan Lamphere on Overnight AM - What happened and Why
This story has gone viral on the Internet and we are being inundated with email in regard to the perceived conversation and break up of the Lamphere / Donofrio team.
Based on the email that weve received in regard to Leo hanging up on Lan during the Overnight AM Radio Show that aired on Nov 24, 2008, the supporters of Overnight AM and Lan Lamphere have only hardened their efforts to find the facts.
~~~
Reading this, I don’t have a problem with Leo’s
reaction to what’s on Lan’s site.
I haven’t bothered to listen to last night’s “program,” but Leo appears as clean as a whistle through this nutty experience.
I’ve been out of the loop most of the day. Have y’all seen this?
