An organization that says it linked an Army doctor challenging Barack Obama's eligibility with a new legal defense team contends the unveiling of the president's birth certificate would prove one of two things: he was a dual citizen or there has been "the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people." Leaders of the United States Patriots Union have told WND the officer's arguments need to go beyond the quest for the president's original birth certificate because that would reveal only some of the evidence needed. "A birth certificate would only prove one of two things – 1) Barack Hussein...

Dear Sarah, On August 28 you stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and urged thousands of conservative activists and patriots to honor the men and women in our military. You appealed to all Americans to restore traditional values to our country and to celebrate all who have fought to preserve our freedoms and protect our country’s founding principles. You told the crowd that our military was “a force for good in this country” and you even took time to personally honor several military veterans onstage; imploring the crowd to look at them for inspiration. Sarah, patriotic Americans do...

What's wrong with the following picture? A decorated Army flight surgeon, after 18 years of service including year-long tours in Honduras, Bosnia and Afghanistan, now risks his career and faces almost certain court-martial and imprisonment. Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin claims there's a serious conflict between adhering to his military oath and obeying deployment orders coming down the existing chain of command with Barack Obama at the top – since the president's constitutional eligibility to be commander in chief has never been documented. Although some scoff, Lakin is acting "exactly" as "proper training dictates," confirms retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas...

The American Patriot Foundation is pleased to announce that LTC Lakin has repositioned his forces, has retained new legal counsel, and is extremely grateful that the Foundation will be dedicating the critical next few weeks before his planned court-martial on November 3-5, to focusing entirely on public affairs, strategic communications/messaging and coalition-building and that their support will continue seamlessly as the new attorney prepares for trial. The website of the Foundation is being re-designed to reflect this new focus and emphasis. Contrary to the impression left by some blogs and internet commentary, LTC Lakin is consistent in continuing on the...

When courts-martial presiding authority Col. Denise Lind issued a ruling that blocked Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin's constitutional right to provide a defense by denying him a right to discovery and evidence supporting his decision to refuse what he believed to be illegal orders, thousands of fellow military veterans unified in Lakin's defense. The Veterans Council of the The United States Patriots Union, led by respected retired officers like Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely and Col. Harry Riley, and Sgt. Timothy Harrington issued White Paper #1 on September 3, 2010. It recommended a slightly different defense strategy for Lt. Col. Lakin that...

Don't know if it's true, but various sites are reporting that Lakin and his counsel, Paul Jensen, may be parting ways and Lakin may be acquiring an experienced military law counsel If that is true, better late than never. If nothing else, it could pay dividends in the sentencing phase.

Links to LTC Lakin’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Supporting Brief

NIMJ reported today that the Lakin court-martial has been pushed back to 4 November. According to this report from WUSA, the extra time was granted to “give the defense more time to ask the court of appeals for help.” Considering both the defense’s delay of approximately 25 days before filing the petition for extraordinary relief and the implausibility of obtaining extraordinary relief, it’s quite surprising that Judge Lind would delay the trial on that basis. [We're trying to get a copy of the petition for extraordinary relief, but so far have received no reply to our request to ACCA for...

Lt. Col. Lakin (M.D.- Active Army) -- first asked the Army to affirm that Obama was constitutionally eligible to serve as President, and when his chain of command refused, he then refused to deploy to Afghanistan until "eligibility" was established (to force the issue to a head). Lakin’s argument is simple and direct: a soldier must not be compelled to obey an "unlawful order"; an "ineligible person" cannot serve as President and Commander-in-Chief and, thus, cannot issue "lawful orders." He has thereby laid his liberty and whole career on the line in order to honor his Oath to Support and...

*snip* Today’s statement relates specifically to the ongoing courts-martial of Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin. September 3, 2010 – Upon receiving word that LTC Lakin would be denied any and all access to discovery and mitigating evidence needed to provide for a legitimate defense, a White Paper was prepared and released by The United States Patriots Union and The United States Bar Association, advising the Lakin defense team to immediately adjust its defense strategy in accordance with established history and law concerning Mr. Barack Obama’s constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief. In short, to drop the search for an insignificant birth certificate and...

The astonishing cover-up and denial of justice continues. You may be familiar with the case of Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Terry Lakin, an Army officer in his 18th year of service, who, after unsuccessfully attempting to go through military channels to confirm Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as President and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, decided to refuse deployment orders to Afghanistan and asked that he be given a court martial so that discovery of Obama's documentation could be revealed, and LTC Lakin could determine whether or not Obama is the lawful Commander-in-Chief of the United States military. Last Thursday,...

Once again, we have to rely on the work product of an author from another country's blog to get some sane and logical sense into this egregious travesty facing Lt. Col. Lakin.

From American Grand Jury: Dr. Eldon E. Bell is a retired U.S. Army Colonel and Master Flight Surgeon. He is a Viet Nam and Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran. Currently Dr. Bell practices Medicine in a rural town in South Dakota. Eldon has served on a number of American Grand Juries. In Courts-Martial: “The ‘sole test’ for admissibility is whether the evidence of the misconduct is offered for some purpose other than to demonstrate the accused’s predisposition to crime and therefore to suggest that the factfinder infer that he is guilty, as charged, because he is predisposed to commit similar offenses....

Agnostic regarding birthcertifigate, but the punchline here is interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB--XdoZ0ZI

I doubt that most people would be shocked to learn that sometimes the influence of power can interfere with and even derail the course of justice in our legal system.  Behind the scenes, a phone call from a powerful politician, or a corporate mogul often affects the actions or judgments of people whose personal ambitions they are in a position to help or hinder.  Usually though, people giving heed to such considerations have enough sense to cloak what they do with words or actions that give their corruption at least the appearance of probity.  Maybe its the tribute that vice...

The military judge who curiously noted without explanation that uncovering evidence about President Obama's birth records could prove "embarrassing" and denied an officer the right to obtain potentially exculpatory evidence in a court-martial simply has forgotten the Constitution, the supreme rule of the United States. So says Judge Roy Moore, who battled the politically correct climate as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court a decade ago and ultimately was removed from office by a state panel that refused to review the constitutionality of a federal court order. SNIP "Lt. Col. Lakin has every right to question the lawfulness of...
