LTC Lakin Formally Charged (Violation of UCMJ Articles 87 & 92)

American Patriot Foundation ^ | 04/22/2010

[BuckeyeTexan]

Lieutenant Colonel Terrence L. Lakin was charged today with four violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) under Articles 87 and 92.

(Chargesheet at the link in PDF format.)

[OldDeckHand]

"I am pretty sure that he had no intent to disobey a lawful order. "

To keep from wading to far into the weeds of jury instructions especially considering an affirmative defense, I'll keep this brief. The problem for Lakin is that he was counseled prior to disobeying his orders (and missing his movement) that his orders were presumptively lawful. He was also advised to seek the advice of military counsel prior to his decision to disobey orders. He chose to ignore the notice of presumptive lawfulness as well as the advice of military counsel. Article 92 is not a "specific intent offense", or so the appellate courts have held.

Hmmm ... I can tell that this is upsetting you.

Here, let me put things into perspective for you with a synopsis of the current political environment:
(good news if you're a Conservative, and SCARY bad news if you're a Liberal)

Obama’s at his lowest poll numbers of his short presidency with NO sign of reversal. Foreclosure, Unemployment & Interest Rates WILL sadly ALL get worse this summer, just as Obama also increases taxes on the Middle Class. There's absolutely no reason to envision that his own hubris will dissuade him from changing his current strategy — he will “stay the course” and govern from the far Left.

Conservatives have abandoned him. The Independents have, too. Those bridges have been forever burnt. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to come up with groups he HASN'T pissed off on some level. ObamaCare has galvanized most Americans against Obama and the Left like almost nothing else could have.

Obama’s wedged into a corner, seeking approval from his most-radical Progressive supporters. However, between the Gay, Latino, Anti-War, Environmental and other vocal Leftist Lobbies, Obama’s seemingly running out of friends. The "friends" still by Obama's side only extort him for their own Leftist causes.

As November 2010 marches closer and the Democratic Party begins to understand the FULL extent of damage that Obama has reaped them, expect the Long Knives to be sharpened. Although the Ides of March has come and gone, don't be surprised if Obama is met on the steps of the Senate by displeased hordes of his Democratic peers and supporters ... metaphorically speaking, of course.

But the REAL metaphorical blood-bath will take place AFTER November. What Conservatives couldn't stop by Filibuster in March 2010 will be undone by Majority starting in January 2011. And any attempt by Obama to pull a Slick Willie and try to govern from the Political Center will met by the Public glinting a collective roll of their eyes and an incredulous flash of their collective middle finger.

If Obama isn't undone by one of the many scandals the Democratic Majority is currently shielding him from, one of the many Eligibility lawsuits will catch him by the heels, resurrecting ghosts from Barry's past long thought to be safely tucked away in a shoebox in the back of his closet. Lt Col Lakin's case has a good shot of doing just that! All politics aside ... the Constitution must be adhered to by ALL Citizens, including Dual Citizens like Barack Hussein Obama.

Rest assured ... Conservatives ARE and WILL CONTINUE to beat Obama on the political battlefield of ideas. Exposing Obama’s Eligibility LIES will reaffirm that the ONLY way Progressives can even HOPE to “win” on the battlefield of ideas is to LIE, CHEAT and STEAL, typified by the 2008 Presidential Election using a Chicago politician financed by dubious sources, and backed by the likes of the MSM, ACORN, the Black Panthers & registered Democratic voters dead for a few years. And although the Chicago politician's place of birth is questionable, Obama's birth as a British subject is NOT and will be CONFIRMED when prima facie evidence of ANY of his birth documents land in a Court of Law.

Obama and the Dems will get a well-deserved political ass-kicking in November by those who DON'T know or care about his TRUE "natural-born Citizen" status, as well as by those who DO rightfully question Obama's Eligibility.

The millions of Conservatives who DO question Obama’s Constitutional Eligibility will REMAIN very politically active. We will continue to flood phone banks to stop Obama's agenda, raise holy hell at Town Hall Meetings, and SUBVERT the Liberal enemy in every pub, blog and synagogue ... ALL while supporting true Conservative candidates to their victory speeches in just SEVEN short months.

Have no fear, mon cher ... YES WE CAN walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

Don't know. I was gobsmacked too when stumbling across it while looking for archived images.

You know how things get scrubbed from the Internet that Obots think hurts their president, like THIS :

p.s. -- the Fight the Smears COLB miraculously reappeared after being taken off for nearly a month.
They likely realized they caused more suspicion trying to hide it than to just leave it alone in the first place ...

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The Declaration of Independence is the law of the land

Not true.

[danamco]

He acts here like he had been serving in Vietnam together with John Kerry???

[SeaHawkFan]

Yes it is. If fact, the First Congress codified the Declaration of Independence as the fist statute. The second statute enacted was the Constitution of the United States.

Look it up.

[Non-Sequitur]

You’re saying the brigade commander’s order is completely disconnected from and unrelated to Obama’s authority.

Pretty much, yeah.

Does that mean you don’t think Obama is really president?

As much as I would prefer otherwise, Obama is really president.

[BP2]

>> Pretty much, yeah.

Non-Seq,

Do you care to back up such a bold statement with a law, presidential declaration, or regulation ... or is it "pretty much" just your opinion?

[danamco]

Who are you referring to in your derogatory way - "BIRTHER"?

Would you be instrumental and helpful if there is a way to remove an illegal C-i-C from OUR White House??

Or is Status Quo OK with you that our Constitution has been trampled on???

Maybe yesterday's filing by Blago will open the door to expose the Chicago political gangster methods ala Godfather-style, hmmmm!!!

[danamco]

Did you serve with John sKerry in Vietnam???

[Non-Sequitur]

...or is it "pretty much" just your opinion?

You've been tossing around your opinion and I'm offering mine. Time will tell which one is more accurate.

[BP2]

> Who are you referring to in your derogatory way - "BIRTHER"?

He/she is just trying to get a rise out of the Patriots here who have the audacity to DARE to question Obama's Eligibility as a natural-born citizen.

He/she is attempting to use Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Rule #5:

5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."

The problem for him and the other Obama defenders here is that the tactic DOESN'T WORK anymore because:

1) it's been overplayed
2) the opposition is ready for it
3) the opposition has long become desensitized to criticism that is
only designed to silence them

Which is WHY you don't listen to your "critics" ... only to yourself.

Ah, much like your "opinion" on the veracity of this entire Eligibility controversy and Obama's credibility therein.
That would be Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Rule #1:

1. "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have."

Yes, it's obvious that YOU and the other Obama supporters here DO NOT KNOW his true Eligibility status, which is why your position is so incredibly weak.

It's an assumption, based upon the claims of those with DUBIOUS Credibility, who just so happen to be HIGHLY vested in Obama's success by covering up any secrets that would undo his presidency and their Political Power & Agenda.

— You have seen the man LIE to the American Public time and time again, have you not?

— You have seen his supporters do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY for him to GAIN and RETAIN his power, have you not?

— You have seen his cohorts like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the DNC LIE to the Public to protect & defend him while also pushing forth the Obama agenda, have you not?

And for the record, your laughable "pretty much" "opinion" is wrong.

In all cases, the Chain of Command stems from the President. That's why he's been called the Commander-in-CHIEF since before the Constitution was inked. Every member of the Armed Forces, past and present, is taught this and KNOWS this
(at least those not carrying the water for Obama here).

Furthermore, it's codified by ink TODAY in numerous places, like this:

10 USC 162 - Sec. 162. chain of command

"... the chain of command to a unified or specified combatant command runs - (1) from the President to the Secretary of Defense; and (2) from the Secretary of Defense to the commander of the combatant command."

It hurts one’s brain to know how inept the populace has become and it's not even their fault.

We've all seen the grammar school tests from the 19th century and discovered we didn't know that much in college.

How many of us know we could be at those academic levels again if it weren't for the government and its enslaving of its citizens?

UK did it with cheap beer. When people got mad at govt cheap drink pacified them.

USSA did it with The Children, took their spirit.

When the baby boomers are gone this place will be a prison planet.

[Cicero]

An odd argument. “The Supreme Court won’t do anything about it, so shut up.”

Well, the courts, from SCOTUS on down, may or may not do the right thing. They have, especially in modern times, sometimes done the wrong thing, the unconstitutional thing, as they did in Roe v. Wade. Indeed, they did the wrong thing long before that, when they issued the Dred Scott decision, supporting slavery.

But that got straightened out. Americans don’t like to be told to shut up, when their political leaders appear to be acting like criminals and their courts refuse to act justly.

[El Sordo]

“Do your lawyers do the same thing when THEY are losing?”

Unfortunately, Orly Taitz tends to do just that.

And in the US, the greatest dumbing down of the People is largely due to the average American household having 2.24 TELEVISIONS blaring an average of 5.1 hours per day ... day after day, year after year, decade after decade.

The scheming and sinister Socialists could not have created a more efficient tool to spread their LIES to a large segment of the Public who have NO Critical Thinking skills and believe ...

... whatever they are told to believe.

Since you're in love with her, perhaps you should send her an email. She's easy to find.

However, she's not associated with this case ... despite your feeble attempts in trying to do so here.
