Barack Obama loves to portray himself as a compassionate humanitarian. Assuring justice and avoiding unnecessary punishment is such an obsession, he would have us believe, that he opposes detaining those participating in acts of war against the U.S. He even insisted on a civilian trial in New York for the man who confessed to masterminding the Sept. 11 attacks. But Obama's compassion does have its limits. There's one distinguished U.S. Army officer and physician who appears to be headed to prison soon. He hasn't committed any crimes. He has served his country honorably in foreign wars. His reviews by superiors...

"Summary of Support Terry Lakin Day: Rep. Trent Frank Staff; efforts already underway at their DC office to "try to stop the court-martial.10:30 - 11:45 AM - McCain 30 Supporters gathered at John McCain's office on 16th Street in Phoenix. Except for a group of about six that entered the office for about a 10 minute period, all marched and held signs (some photos attached) and American flags on both sides of the street for the entire time. Many drivers honked in agreement as they drove by. The group that entered the office were greeted by McCain staffer Barb Donaldson,...

I put together a thought experiment on another thread to illustrate the basic problem, as I understand it, in LTC Lankin’s case. Those disapproving of his actions have failed to reply with the much other than “that’s silly,” completely failing to cite regulations, laws, rules, or other such official codification.   For that reason, I should like to post that thought-experiment here and get other veteran’s opinions (and hopefully the backing codifications) on the matter. Let’s say that I were to type up orders assigning myself to the command of some unit, then dig out my old BDUs, get a...

This morning Denver radio talk-show host Peter Boyles featured retired General Paul Vallely, United States Army. Vallely candidly spoke his thoughts on jihad, our open border problem, the Court Martial of Lt. Colonel Terry Lakin and the still-unresolved issue of Barack Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to hold office. This is the link to Boyles’ show. Click on the 7:00 link to hear Vallely’s interview. I’ve provided a partial transcription of some of Vallely’s more noteworthy comments, omitting the “ah” and “umm” utterances from his presentation. http://www.khow.com/pages/boyles.html What follows are the general’s words responding to a question about political correctness and U.S....

Lakin’s attorney: Conviction ‘certain December 3, 2010 Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, a distinguished Army flight surgeon, is “certain” to be convicted of disobeying orders, according to his lawyer, Neil Puckett. LTC Lakin will go on trial December 14 for refusing to deploy with his unit to Afghanistan. The senior officer questioned the legal validity of his orders because they originate ultimately with President Barack Obama, whose eligibility to serve as commander in chief under article II of the U.S. Constitution remains unproven. “Based on the evidence available, his conviction is certain,” Puckett told WND. “He has no affirmative defense for...

"McCain 2008 lawyer is the culprit in Wikipedia Lakin deletion Columnist Diana West (Washington Examiner/November 24) exposed the warp speed deletion of an entry about Army LTC Terry Lakin, in the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. This is a link to LTC Lakin entry before it disappeared down what West described aptly as the memory hole: ... The Wiki entry on LTC Lakin was removed in record time- an hour and 11 minutes after being flagged for deletion. The culprit in the Wiki deletion was ID'd by a Wiki user as Washington, D.C. lawyer, Theodore Frank, who worked on the McCain campaign...

"Lakin's attorney: Conviction 'certain' 'He's very disappointed in military justice system' "Based on the evidence available, his conviction is certain," Puckett told WND. "He has no affirmative defense for the offenses he committed." "There is not much left to do" in defense of his client, Puckett said. Lakin's previous defense counsel, Paul Jensen, already "sought discovery of documents, and to introduce evidence and expert witnesses, but the judge shut down all those efforts." ... "LTC Lakin asked many people to answer his questions about his misgivings about the legitimacy of the president, even the White House. He had a question...

"Lakin not allowed witnesses, documents, explanation at court-martial Dec. 14! Lakin Family Attempts to Avoid Confrontation Ignored by Obama Letters obtained by The Gazette reveal the extent to which a decorated Army officer and his brother struggled to resolve concerns over the President’s eligibility prior to the officer being court-martialed. The Lakins are long-time Greeley residents. Three Lakin brothers; Dr. Greg Lakin, Capt. Gary Lakin USCG and Lt. Col. Terrance Lakin graduated from University High School in 1977, 1980 and 1983 respectively. The brothers' parents still live in Greeley and have a long history of supporting humanitarian causes in the...

Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh have all questioned Obama’s birth certificate, natural born citizen status and eligibility to be president. Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh stated the following on his radio show: “The imposter got into the equivalent of the White House in Afghanistan. Did they not ask this guy for some kind of identification? They clearly didn’t. They clearly didn’t ask this guy for his birth certificate. How in the world could they trust in a leader and even give money to somebody who has not been properly vetted? Well, because it happened here in the United States. We...

Diana West’s weekly column in the Washington Examiner covers the Court Martial of Lt. Colonel Terry Lakin for risking his career and freedom in a challenge to Barack Obama to prove his Constitutional eligibility to hold office – and Wikipedia’s Orwellian quick-scrubbing from its website of a contributor’s entry about the Lakin case. That the eligibility question has now at last been published in a D.C. newspaper of considerable stature is going to add fuel to the growing fire of the burning and unanswered question: Who is this man, Obama, and from whence came he? Here’s the link to West’s...

Wikipedia, the widely read, online, multiauthored encyclopedia, features an entry on the term "memory hole," which originated with the prescient if not also clairvoyant George Orwell. The Wikipedia definition begins: "A memory hole is any mechanism for the alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts, or other records ... particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened." Wikipedia itself may have just offered a good example of how the mechanism works when unknown, unknowable site authorities "took down" a new entry on Lt. Col. Terrence "Terry" Lakin's challenge to President Obama's...

There is a code of conduct among military personnel and police officers, which says that if one among them is committing an act that is wrong it becomes the duty of the others to speak up. I was not in the military service. I did serve in the ranks and files of law enforcement for twenty years. I understand that code of honor. It was written in the operations manuals of the two agencies in which I worked full-time. In fact, within Colorado it is a felony to not report a peace officer who engages in the commission of certain...

On December 14, Army officer LTC Terry Lakin will be appearing in a courtroom at Fort Meade, Maryland- for the court-martial he invited by disobeying military orders in pursuit of the truth about Obama's Constitutional eligibility under Article II, Section 1, requiring the President and Commander-in-Chief be a "natural born" citizen. LTC Lakin tried many times, without success, through his chains of command, to seek an answer to his nagging question- is Barack Obama legally, Constitutionally eligible, to serve as head of the U.S. Armed Forces? With Congress back for the "lame duck" session we are urging Terry's advocates to...
