LTC Terry Lakin may be last line of defense to Constitution

The American Patriot Foundation has called on citizens to support LTC Terrence “Terry” Lakin during the countdown to his court martial.

As of this edition, there are only 12 days before Lakin goes to trial.

A group has organized a “Support Terry Lakin Day” series of rallies on Monday, Dec. 6, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in front of Sen. John McCain’s Office, 5353 N. 16th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85016.

The next rally will begin at 12 noon in front of Sen. Jon Kyl’s office, 2200 E. Camelback, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, with the final rally at 2 p.m. in front of Rep. Trent Frank’s office, 7121 W. Bell Road, Glendale, AZ 85308.

Jeff Lichter, who is organizing the rallies, said they will consist of standing outside each official’s office with signs urging their support of Lakin while some participants will enter the offices to speak with staff about Lakin’s situation.

Lakin, a highly decorated Army doctor with over 18 years of service, was told to bring his birth certificate when ordered to deploy to Afghanistan. Lakin was perfectly willing to provide a copy of his birth certificate if President Obama would release a copy of his.

As an officer, Lakin took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.”

Unlike the enlisted soldier’s oath, which includes a clause to “obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me …” there is no such provision in the oath for commissioned officers.

Additionally, Lakin is bound by his oath and the Uniform Code of Military Justice to obey lawful orders and to disobey any order that violates the Constitution.

If Obama is a usurper to the presidency, which his own published memoires indicate he is by his admission to being born a British subject, then he cannot be a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution.

Some question whether he was actually born in Hawaii as he claims, as no hospital has claimed being his birthplace and both Obama and his sister Maya have provided conflicting information as to which hospital in Honolulu was allegedly the place of his birth.

Other information Obama has been unable to keep hidden is the fact that his Selective Service System registration was falsely created, after the fact in 2008, and his use of a Connecticut-issued Social Security number, which is associated with another individual who was born in 1890.

Men who do not register with the Selective Service by the time they reach 26 years of age, are forever precluded from holding a job in the executive branch of the federal government. There is plenty of documentation available tipping in favor of those who question Obama’s legitimacy.

However, the Constitution was delivered another blow on Monday when the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) denied the petition for a writ of certiorari in Charles Kerchner, et al. v. Obama, President of the United States, et al.

Although other cases will come before the SCOTUS to request citizens be granted standing to defend Article II Section I of the United States and settle the definition of natural born citizen, Lakin has placed his military career on the line to defend the Constitution against an enemy who is either foreign or domestic.

The USSC is a bunch of little girls.

Only Congress has the power to remove a President, not the Courts.

Every American should come out for Lakin. Is there an address where we can send monetary support for this true Patriot?

LTC Terry Lakin may be last line of defense to Constitution

If 0bama is a usurper to the presidency, which his own published memoir's indicate he is by his admission to being born a British subject, then he cannot be a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution.

Some question whether he was actually born in Hawaii as he claims, as no hospital has claimed being his birthplace, and - both 0bama and his sister Maya have provided conflicting information as to which hospital in Honolulu was allegedly the place of his birth.

Other information: 0bama has been unable to keep hidden is the fact that his Selective Service System registration was falsely created, after the fact in 2008, and his use of a Connecticut-issued Social Security number, which is associated with another individual who was born in 1890.

his use of a Connecticut-issued Social Security number, which is associated with another individual who was born in 1890.

Okay, I am asking for a citation of this, other than the idiotic web-search of a 25¢ private dick.

I'm likely the only FReeper who actually went physically to any of the supposed multiple addresses and discovered that, yes, indeed, there's more than one "Barack Obama," or "Barak Obama," or other variations, in this country. And just because you can find the name associated with other locations doesn't mean you have fraud by the pathetic man elected by a pathetic electorate.

None of the documentation I've seen has indicated that the man in the White House ever used the SSN of 1890 birth.

LTC Lakin chose poorly. He never received a direct order from the man sworn in as President, but he claimed the chain of command was tainted. Still, though, he followed that chain of command even after violating orders under the claim it was not to be followed. Hypocrisy doesn't help his case.

Am I a fan of the guy in the White House? Not at all.
Do I believe we have the truthful story on his background? Not at all.
Do I think Orly Taitz's "evidence" is valuable? Not at all.

WTF. We are taught from day one in boot camp that all orders come from the CIC. Now does the order to swab the deck come directly from the CIC. No. But the CIC has invested the authority to make those orders to the Admiral, CO, Dept Head, Divo, Chief Petty officer, LPO, Section leader etc. But all authority comes from the CIC. If the CIC is not legit, then all the military orders are not legit.

How can you follow an order if the person delegating the authority to give the orders is not legally authorized to delegate the orders?

I believe that Obama is not legit. Can I prove it? No. But all the evidence appears to say he is not qualified under the constitution.

Why would anyone spend so much time, and money, defending attempts to view his long form birth cert? I had to show that to ge into the Navy and to get a passport. Also had to show it to get a duplicate Social Security card.

“I believe that Obama is not legit. Can I prove it? No. But all the evidence appears to say he is not qualified under the constitution.”

Simply because he ignores (violates) the Constitution that he swore to uphold he should be impeached or dragged physically from office.

“Only Congress has the power to remove a President, not the Courts.”

Lakin is not calling for his removal........he is saying the pres does not have the authority to command/issue orders.

[Non-Sequitur]

Lakin is not calling for his removal........he is saying the pres does not have the authority to command/issue orders.

Lakin is not charged with disobeying Obama's orders but the lawful orders of three of his superior officers. Among other things.

[Non-Sequitur]

Now does the order to swab the deck come directly from the CIC. No. But the CIC has invested the authority to make those orders to the Admiral, CO, Dept Head, Divo, Chief Petty officer, LPO, Section leader etc. But all authority comes from the CIC. If the CIC is not legit, then all the military orders are not legit.

So if you told some E-2 to swab the deck and he replied, "I will not swab the deck. I do believe your order is lawful since I do not believe Obama is eligible to be president" then what would your reply to that be?

[FreeAtlanta]

Great, so you think that only Generals have the right to disobey illegal orders?

That seems to be the problem that occurred in Germany in the 1930's and a lot of soldiers were later tried for crimes over.

[blueyon]

“Lakin is not charged with disobeying Obama’s orders but the lawful orders of three of his superior officers. Among other things.”

1 I read this “”Let me see if I understand this, Col. Lakin can get a more severe punishment that Ahmed Ghailani?” which I hope is wrong but it looks like it may be true.

2 The case has to do with this “No one in his chains of command or in his Congressional delegation could tell him— after more than a year of seeking assurance that his orders were lawful— if Obama met the requirements of Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution of a “natural born citizen” and was entitled to command the U.S. Armed Forces. LTC Lakin’s military orders to deploy to Afghanistan under Obama’s announced surge, included a requirement that he present copies of his birth certificate (to which he dutifully complied)” Lakin is not follow commands because he believes Obama is on illegitimate president the judge kicked out a good part of that!

[StonyBurk]

And so long as we have congressmen like Senator Bennett , Senator Udall, and Congressman John Salazar (all of Colorado—
none of them with my support as they have not represented me)
Congress will continue as suggested by (I can’t remember his name)But in discussions several in Congress have declared until the courts mandate change-Congress has No intention to
remove this President. Bennett of Colorado insists the Courts have declared Obama is a “natural born citizen” I disagree but I am not in Congress-and have No power over the Court.

[StonyBurk]

True enough— but too many in Congress likewise refuse to honor their Oath and defend the US constitution on a daily basis. And there is No political will to insist the President
be removed—when such action would draw attention to the
corruption and decay in th erest of the body politic.

[StonyBurk]

I would say remove the one not eligible for Office ,let another take his place—because I agree that the President is not eligible. But I would likewise remind the E-2 that his Oath of Military service requires him to obey the lawful orders issued by his superiors.The error of your argument
is with the difference between the enlisted and the Officer.
As an Officer I would do EVERYTHING within my power to resist and oppose ANY CIC who is not eligible for the Office/who manifests such utter contempt for our US Constitution and way of life as this FRAUD.

[Gondring]

If the CIC is not legit, then all the military orders are not legit.

Yet he continued to follow them....selectively.

How can you follow an order if the person delegating the authority to give the orders is not legally authorized to delegate the orders?

Did LTC Lakin demand proof of the legitimacy of the commissions of all those in the chain, or just the CIC? Again, inconsistency, if he is insisting that personal verification is required for one link in the chain of command, yet trusting the legitimacy of the others' authority without personal confirmation.

With nutcases like Holly A. Graf getting glowing FITREPs and advancing, how can we trust that other things haven't been swept under the rug? It is the duty of every officer to demand original documentation of every person in the chain of command whenever an order is received! </sarc>

I believe that Obama is not legit. Can I prove it? No. But all the evidence appears to say he is not qualified under the constitution.

No. Much of the evidence is unclear. There's a difference between "appears to say he's not qualified" and "does not appear to say he's qualified"...absence of evidence does not demonstrate the negative.

There are huge questions. But there are other explanations that cover the possibilities just as well if not better. Plus, he hasn't spent much at all on these lawsuits. Note that earlier claims were looking at his total legal bills, which were mainly campaign and other costs.

Why would anyone spend so much time, and money, defending attempts to view his long form birth cert?

On principle, perhaps? Perhaps as a Rope-A-Dope? Because of something embarrassing, not relevant to qualification? Etc.

I had to show that to ge into the Navy and to get a passport.

What country was that in? Here in the US, you don't need the long form.

Also had to show it to get a duplicate Social Security card.

Long form?! Wow...I didn't.

But also, "show it" to whom? To the nation?

[SatinDoll]

Basically it is the same thing. Only Congress can make the determination, not the Judicial Branch.

[Triple]

Maybe, but a court could find that he does not legally meet the qualifications to hold office in the first place.
