$10,000 reward offered to any witness of Obama birth
Examiner ^ | 6/23/09 | Ron Moore

Posted on 06/23/2009 9:57:45 AM PDT by pissant

In a statement released today, WorldNetDaily Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah says he is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can prove he or she was present at the birth of Barack Obama – and he's asking Americans to donate to the cause in hopes of raising the bounty to an irresistible amount.

"Barack Obama claims to have been born in Honolulu Aug. 4, 1961," explains Farah.

"His entire constitutional claim to the presidency rests on this premise. Yet, he refuses to release a copy of his long-form birth certificate – the only document that could possibly corroborate his claim. Therefore, in the interest of truth, justice and the Constitution, I am making the extraordinary offer to entice someone to come forward with the facts of his birth – whether it took place in Hawaii or elsewhere."

I think there were three Kings who witnessed the birth.

Not real bright. Obama should call WND and claim the money. Obviously he was a witness to his birth.

Why not offer a reward to anyone who can prove he WAS NOT born in Hawaii in 1961.

I still cannot believe that not one single state required him to submit proof of eligibility before placing his name on the ballot. From now on all states MUST check eligibility by reviewing valid documents. It would only take one to expose a fraud like 0bama, aka Soetoro.

I suggested this last year. But I think we should make it $1 million, and get people to contribute. Put me down for $100.

Need to have the lawyers draw up the offer to ensure sufficient "proof" is provded.

Hmmm..., this could only be directed towards just a very few people. I don’t know how many people are usually present during births, but I would imagine that we’re talking about a mere handful — what..? — maybe five or so, maybe 10...?

So, is Farah offering this reward to a mere five people? (or whatever the number is, who are usually present at a birth)?

The next question I would have, about this kind of “reward” — is — how many of those present have already died?

And then, how many does that leave us with? What? Maybe two or three?

Anyway..., it seems more like a publicity stunt for getting readers to his website than anything else, given those numbers who may still be in the land of the living, today... LOL...

To collect the reward, the subject must:

1. Agree to an interview with WND journalists;
2. Provide persuasive evidence, such as pictures, documents or verifiable details;
3. Agree to a polygraph test.

With all due respect, the required proof looks a little shaky. A million dollars (if the fund grew that big) would be plenty of enticement to come forward as a legit witness, but also entice the character-challenged to forge documents, etc.

An interesting initiative, but I don’t think it is a winning strategy.

Let’s say somebody did come forward with irrefutable proof that he was born, say, in Kenya not in Honolulu as Obama claims. And was willing to swear to it on a stack of Bibles and even had photographs and notarized affidavits issued under competent seal in Nairobi.

What stops Obama from saying “Boo-hoo-sucks-to-you! I’m POTUS and you’re not! You’re a meanie and you stink, so go suck rocks, poo-face!!!”

Not a darn thing, that’s what. And so long as the SCOTUS doesn’t do anything about it — which they’ve demonstrated that they will not — he will get away with it.

All this will do is add more moral authority and moral imperative to the call for him to furnish his Birth Certificate: as if there were any further weight that could be added to the argument.

He’ll just ignore it. Like he does.

The “birther” movement has been a niche the political right wing, has attempted to overturn the results of November’s election by proving that President Obama is ineligible to serve.

Why do liberals feel the need to lie about this...unless they are afraid of what is being hidden? Regardless, if obama is ineligible, he shouldn't be the POTUS. There is nothing about him that makes him above the law or exempt from the Constitution he swore to uphold.

A detroit radio station called the Kenyan embassy after the election of Obama. After a a few minutes they get through to the ambassador of Kenya.

The ambassador of Kenya says that obama was born in Kenya and that his birth place has become a national shrine.

Listen to the recording here

The quote is around 12:35, so if you don’t have time to listen to the whole thing, you can jump ahead.
The transcript reads:

Radio Jockey: President elect Obama's birth place over in Kenya -- is that going to be a national spot where he was born

Ambassador Peter Ogego: its already an attraction. his paternal grandmother is still alive

Radio Jockey:But his birth place...they'll put up a marker there

Ambassdor Peter Ogego: It would depend on the government. Its already well known.

Here is an abridged Utube version of the the radio interview. So you can hear just the relevant parts.

It can be reasonably pointed out that the DJ was trying to entrap the Ambassador and that the Ambassador fell into his trap.
However, if you listen to the long version of the radio interview --you’ll notice he used the same strategy on two different occasions and the ambassador gently brushed him off.

First, he tried to force the ambassador to sing the Kenyan national anthem. The ambassador referred him to the kenyan website.

Second he tried to push the ambassador into saying something about maybe Kenya becoming the 51st state. Again the ambassador said that Kenya was a sovereign country. ie No.

He used the same technique on the question of Obama’s birth place. This time the ambassador did not brush him off. Rather in answer to the question as to whether Obama was born in Kenya --he says "It is well known."

Because the ambassador answered no in the two previous examples -- you can't say that the ambassdor was either a fool or ill advised.

Finally, you might ask well doesn't he know that saying Obama is born in Kenya would make trouble for Obama? The answer there is why should he be concerned? He has heard no suggestion in the mainstream media that there might be a problem there. So to say what is already well known--as he says--would be no problem.

Here is a utube video of Ambassador Peter Ogego speaking at a conference. Ambassador of Kenya H.E. Peter Ogego To verify that the voice on the radio is Ambassador Ogego-- compare the radio voice with the DJ to the voice on the Utube that goes with Ambassador Ogego. Ambassador Peter Ogego is introduced a bit after minute 18..

They are the same.


Subsequently, the Kenyan ambassador said that he meant Obama's father was born in Kenya. However, when pressed about Obama's birth place:

"I don't know," he said with a tone of irritation. "You should ask your government. I know his father is Kenyan."

However, that's not what the original transcript suggests. clear="all" /> Finally, there is a Affidavit of Bishop Ron McRae which is part of the Berg case. The Bishop says pretty much the same thing as the Ambassador.

"Additionally, it is common knowledge throughout both the Christian and Muslim communities in Kenya, that contrary to news media propaganda here in the United States, US Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim and not a Christian, and that he was born in Mombasa, Kenya and not in the State of Hawaii as falsely purported by the Obama campaign for presidency of the United States."

While you cannot impeach the ambassador's character, you can impeach McCrae's character. After all, he's just an itinerant preacher. But McCrae has been to Kenya. Still that makes two people who say that it is common knowledge in Kenya that Obama was born in Kenya.
Then of course there is a video of Obama's grandmother saying that Obama is born in Kenya
There is a case to be made that Obama mother didn't mean Obama was born in Kenya but rather that he is a "son of this village". However, witnesses insist that she said she was present at obama's birth in Kenya. If taken alone, perhaps she could well be ignored. However, her take is in keeping with others both high and low.

Again here is a pdf transcript of Kenyan National Assembly on Nov 5, 2008, the day after Obama was elected. Over and over again there are references to Obama being a "son of the soil" of Kenya and a Kenyan. On page page 3275 there is this passage:

HOUSE SHOULD ADJOURN TO DISCUSS ELECTION OF MR. BARRACK OBAMA

Ms. Odhiambo: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not on this issue. I stand on a point of order under Standing Order No.20 to seek leave for adjournment of the House to discuss the American presidential election results.

(Applause)

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President-elect, Mr. Obama, is a son of the soil of this country. Every other country in this continent is celebrating the Obama win. It is only proper and fitting that the country which he originates from should show the same excitement, pomp and colour.



Again. It is not the one thing. Rather it is the tide.

The American Thinker explains here why the short form that Obama released is not sufficient for Hawaii. The Obama administration could put this to rest by releasing his long form birth certificate. But he doesn't. Instead of just releasing his long form birth certificate he has paid his lawyers over 1 million dollars from campaign contributions since Sept 08 to squash the suits brought on the issue. Why bother. The Arnold would have run for president long ago and likely won if he were a "natural born" american. He's not. He's naturalized. So he can't run. And he knows it. (though there were some trial balloons sent up a couple years back about changing the law--that went nowhere.)

Like the Arnold, Obama looks to be a naturalized citizen--but maybe he's not even that. Here's a footnoted timeline of obama's life 1961-2008. Its especially helpful to look at 1961 and 2008. Of interest is this: Interesting timeline with footnotes of obama's life.

of note

On April 10, 2008 Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduces Senate Resolution S. Res. 511 to “recognize that John Sidney McCain is a natural born citizen.” The resolution is allegedly meant to clarify that McCain is eligible to be President even though he was born in Panama. Because McCain’s parents were both Americans and he was born in Panama because his father was stationed there while in the military, existing law already covers McCain and he is eligible to be President. McCaskill’s resolution thus serves no purpose – except that language is included to try and provide a “blanket cover” for other foreign born candidates without military backgrounds, in order to enable Obama to be eligible to be President. This is the language that Obama inserted “Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;” This Clause has no particular relevance to McCain [The language is inserted by Obama.][301,303]

Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.)The context suggests that by "immigrant" bill richardson means "illegal immigrant"



Here in plain English is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya.



Obama's own flacks deny that obama was born in Kenya but do acknowledge that he had a dual citizenship up until 1982

from obama's own site factcheck.org by way of fightthesmears on his dual citizenship at birth

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
Someone will want to cache the above web page because it will be taken down eventually.
It is well established that Obama did travel to Indonesia and Pakistan in 1981. In a tape of his speech at this April 6, 2008 San Francisco Fundraiser, Obama discloses his trip to Pakistan (40:17) when he was in college. On what passport did he travel?

A last arguement for baraks people might be that of course the Kenyans would have an interest in claiming that obama was a "son of the soil" both as a matter of pride and as a matter of bucks coming their way. However, if Obama was not born in Kenya -- then why wouldn't Obama release his original long form birth certificate. Instead of just releasing his long form birth certificate he has paid his lawyers 1 million dollars from campaign contributions since Sept 08 to squash the suits brought on the issue. On top of that according to the LA Times since the election -- the Kenyans feel that Obama has gone out of his way to snub/ignore/distance-himself them. The Kenyans are putting up reasons like perhaps they are insufficiently perfected for him to notice them--but here in the USA we have seen Obama throw a number of embarrasing people from his past under the bus. Exactly What IS a Natural Born Citizen?

The thing has become a joke in washington. dJoe Biden Joked at the Gridiron Dinner in March 09.

After mentioning one of the Republican speakers for the evening, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was born in Austria and that one of the Democratic speakers, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, was born in Canada, Biden chortled: "Folks, this is going to be Lou Dobbs' worst nightmare. "

From there, Biden transitioned to the birth certificate controversy.

Les Kinsolving asked the Presidential Press Secretary Gibbs to release the long form birth certificate. The press secretary suggested mockingly that the copy of the short form birth certificate supplied online is Obama's long form birth certificate. Not so. See the press conference out take here.

The White House 'dialogue' site has to be scrubbed regularly because of long form birth certificate eligibility posts. Rush Limbaugh joked several times on his radio show on 6/10/09: "What do God and Obama have in commen? (Answer) Neither have birth certificates."

Why not offer a reward to anyone who can prove he WAS NOT born in Hawaii in 1961.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is an easy answer to that. It is likely someone could prove that Obama was born outside of Hawaii. Gee! Then Farah would need to give up his money.

Farah is making this offer precisely because he does **not** want to give the money away.

I am 62 years old. There are still plenty of people alive who could testify that they visited my mother and me in the hospital, that they attended my christening, or brought meals over for my mother. They could testify that my mother and father had not left the country for any reason.

Our other presidents didn't need to prove they were natural born citizens because it was **self evident**!!! American citizens by the hundreds could stand forward and testify to the candidate's natural born status.

Obama though doesn't seem to any cousins, aunts, uncles, neighbors, or ministers in his early life. Was he hatched from an egg?

Since Obama can not provide the **higher** evidence of having American citizens testify of his natural born status, he should present a **lesser** form of evidence in the form of birth certificate, school and adoption records, passport info, and repatriation records.

That's why he is offering an award to someone who can testify of Obama’s birth. Geeze! Farah isn't stupid. He doesn't want to give away $10,000!

Obama has as much chance of being born in Hawaii as a modern day pterodactyl. Hey! A modern day pterodactyl has a **better** chance since we now have the wonder of DNA cloning!

“Why not offer a reward to anyone who can prove he WAS NOT born in Hawaii in 1961.”

There already is a reward for that.

It’s called the honor of defending the republic and adhetrence to the US Constitution.

So far the courts deny that US Citizens have standing to do so.

My source is World Net Daily and the writer is Joseph Farah.

I am 100 percent certain man and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time. In fact, I'm not at all sure dinosaurs are even extinct!

There are also countless contemporary sightings of what appear to be pterodactyls in Asia and Africa.

You know what I think? I think we've been sold a bill of goods about the dinosaurs. I don't believe they died off millions and millions of years ago. In fact, I'm not at all convinced they've died off completely.

Have a nice day, and I hope Joe's pterodactyls do not take a Number 2 when they are flying over your house.
