The Great Birth Certificate Scandal\/Cover-Up of 2008<\/h3>\n

November 24, 2008<\/p>\n

This week, newscasters reported that al Qaeda\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s #2 terrorist disparaged the election of Barack Obama, and hurled racial slurs at Obama himself. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The report has not been confirmed by the State Department,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d they all said, but they reported it anyway.<\/p>\n

Last week, Fox News reporter Carl Cameron told viewers that three \u00e2\u20ac\u0153anonymous\u00e2\u20ac\u009d insiders of Sen. McCain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s campaign said that Sarah Palin was, in essence, a diva and a dunce. He \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and dozens of others who picked up the story on other channels \u00e2\u20ac\u201c never identified, or even verified, the sources of the quotes, but they reported them anyway.<\/p>\n

Contrast these shabby examples of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153journalism\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153natural born\u00e2\u20ac\u009d U.S. citizenship.<\/p>\n

What follows is a partial list of people and organizations that have challenged Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eligibility. Further on I will comment on how egregious the media\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s failure to cover this story has been. And last, I will speculate on the reason for the cover-up of this full-blown scandal.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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 DNC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s failure to vet Obama, and Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s failure to provide an authentic and verifiable U.S. birth certificate. The suit was dismissed as “too vague\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6” 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 Berg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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 Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Kenyan grandmother saying that she was present at Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s birth in Kenya, along with his half-brother and half-sister. Here is his website.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c among other reasons \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153on behalf of the DNC and Barack Obama too, it reeks of collusion.”<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Dr. T.B. Bradley, a forensic psychologist, stated, as part of the Berg case, that, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Upon 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.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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 Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s original 1961 birth certificate, and reported that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the judge reserved judgment.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But when he arrived back in the states, he learned that Judge Bert Ayabe had dismissed the case.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 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\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.(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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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 Worker\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Party candidate Roger Calero, from appearing on New Jersey’s ballot, claiming all three are not \u00e2\u20ac\u0153natural born citizens.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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 Donofrio\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s case.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Websites like Citizens for the United States Constitution, We The People, PeoplesPassion, America Must Know, and Faith2Action have sprung up in passionate defense of our Constitution\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Dozens of petitions, like this one, have been circulated.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c here and here and here and here.<\/p>\n

Coverage of the above by the media: Zero.<\/p>\n

A Deafening Silence<\/h3>\n

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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c dismissing his longtime radical associations, obfuscating his radical voting record, and taking a pass at their jobs of vetting a presidential candidate \u00e2\u20ac\u201c their failure to cover the most explosive story of the 2008 campaign speaks volumes about collusion of the highest order.<\/p>\n

Then there are the late-night comics, as well as snarky \u00e2\u20ac\u0153humorists\u00e2\u20ac\u009d like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, who take pride in being irreverent and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153outing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d both people and subjects that others avoid. Not a word. <\/p>\n

But what about the failure of the powerful conservative media \u00e2\u20ac\u201c how to explain their total blackout of this story? Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s look at their reactions:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Fox News: Total Silence. Did the healthy shares that Saudi Arabia bought of Fox influence the network\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s non-coverage of this story? After all, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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. Doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it strike Fox viewers as strange that not one of their outspoken guests, even once, mentioned this story? Who warned them not to?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Rush Limbaugh: Total Silence. Why has the Excellence-in-Broadcasting\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dr. of Democracy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the man who eats sacred cows for breakfast \u00e2\u20ac\u201c not touched this story?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Mark Levin: Total Silence. Why has this popular radio host, commonly known as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the Great One,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d abandoned his well-deserved reputation as a Constitutional scholar to studiously not address this Constitutional issue?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Laura Ingraham: Total Silence. Here is another radio powerhouse and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas taking pains not to mention this case\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6not a word!<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Bill O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Reilly: Total Silence. Yes, the guy who claims he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153just looking out for the folks\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6voiceless!<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2013\u00aa Sean Hannity: Total Silence. The iconic radio and TV host who tackles every controversial subject under the sun\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6missing in action! <\/p>\n

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. The very people \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the so-called loyal opposition \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a document that set the stage for the greatest experiment in human freedom since the beginning of recorded history. People like me \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and multi-millions of others \u00e2\u20ac\u201c are aware of what happens when the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153salami tactics\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of tyrants are employed in the service of leftwing ideology.<\/p>\n

First, there is a charismatic character promising \u00e2\u20ac\u0153change\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hope,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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 Leader\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s message. And fourth there is the rounding-up and incarceration \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or worse \u00e2\u20ac\u201c of all dissidents.<\/p>\n

This is not theory. This is history. But while both left and right media thought it appropriate to comment at length about Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s seven-page Questionnaire for those seeking work in his administration \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a probing that makes a Pap Test, mammogram, colonoscopy, and endoscopy in one visit seem mild by comparison \u00e2\u20ac\u201c not one of these cowardly journalists has asked the simple question: Mr. Obama, where is your birth certificate?<\/p>\n

Or were they not cowards but patriots?<\/p>\n

Scrounging for Answers<\/h3>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve 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. media\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s complete non-coverage of this major story has gotten me to speculate on what \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or who \u00e2\u20ac\u201c may be behind this phenomenon. What force could be so powerful as to silence our country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s putative guardians of free speech \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the titans of the Fourth Estate?<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

Then \u00e2\u20ac\u201c suddenly and inexplicably \u00e2\u20ac\u201c he went into a year-long hibernation. He rarely appeared in public and gave no major speeches. Finally he reemerged \u00e2\u20ac\u201c albeit weakly \u00e2\u20ac\u201c in late November or early December of 2005<\/p>\n

Could it be that shortly after the president\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons \u00e2\u20ac\u201c set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities \u00e2\u20ac\u201c unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years?<\/font><\/p>\n

Was America taken hostage?<\/p>\n

The president, one could speculate, had only two choices: (1) play \u00e2\u20ac\u0153chicken\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c qualified or not \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to capture the White House.<\/p>\n

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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the most powerful man in the entire world? This would certainly explain why President Bush has not \u00e2\u20ac\u0153been himself\u00e2\u20ac\u009d since January 20, 2005. It would also explain why the all-powerful media have taken his marching orders \u00e2\u20ac\u201c including the New York Times, which takes particular pleasure in undermining and sabotaging the president, even when it comes to national security issues.<\/p>\n

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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to their anchors, broadcasters, even comedians \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to follow the blackout order or face Draconian consequences. Clearly, they followed their marching orders.<\/p>\n

On November 4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Election Day \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the Dow was above 9,000. It is now plummeting to below 7,000, suggesting that even the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153globalists\u00e2\u20ac\u009d among us prefer tax cuts and capitalism to tax hikes and not creeping but galloping socialism \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or what the esteemed Dr. Jack Wheeler insists is fascism. <\/p>\n

Buyers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 remorse is in the air. America has been hijacked<\/font>. 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as the media have \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to our enemies. God Save America!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
