Back in December, this blog broke the story that former US President Chester Arthur lied – in newspaper interviews with the Brooklyn Eagle – about his parental heritage. These lies covered up the fact that Chester Arthur, at the time of his birth, was a British Subject due to the fact that his father, William Arthur, was not a US citizen at the time Chester was born. This fact, had it been discovered back when Chester Arthur was running for Vice President, would have been an impediment to his nomination.
As fate would have it, Chester Arthur became President when Garfield was assassinated by a rabid Chester Arthur supporter.
Recently, there has been attempts in the main stream media (Colbert Report and AP propaganda) to normalize the fact that Chester Arthur served as President while also being a closet British subject.
We shall now examine one very upsetting official action taken by Chester Arthur as President of the US which bears witness to the importance of an accurate historical record for establishing such concepts as motive, allegiance and national sovereignty.
BY EXECUTIVE ORDER – CHESTER ARTHUR FORCED MILITARY TO SALUTE BRITISH FLAG
EXECUTIVE ORDER.[2]
[Footnote 2: Read by the Secretary of State before the people assembled to celebrate the Yorktown Centennial.]
YORKTOWN, VA., _October 19, 1881_.
In recognition of the friendly relations so long and so happily subsisting between Great Britain and the United States, in the trust and confidence of peace and good will between the two countries for all the centuries to come, and especially as a mark of the profound respect entertained by the American people for the illustrious sovereign and gracious lady who sits upon the British throne
_It is hereby ordered_, That at the close of the ceremonies commemorative of the valor and success of our forefathers in their patriotic struggle for independence the British flag shall be saluted by the forces of the Army and Navy of the United States now at Yorktown.
The Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy will give orders accordingly.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
By the President: JAMES G. BLAINE, _Secretary of State_.
That’s incredible. By Executive Order, the POTUS usurper and closet British subject ordered our military to salute the British flag. I do not know of any other time in our national history where this happened. Read this part again:
commemorative of the valor and success of our forefathers in their patriotic struggle for independence the British flag shall be saluted by the forces of the Army and Navy of the United States now at Yorktown.
Commemorative of our struggle to rid ourselves of the British flag, and in recognition of the blood shed on the field of battle, the usurper forced our military to salute the enemy flag. This is simply a form of blasphemy against our Constitution and our forefathers. The act of saluting is an act of allegiance. Chester Arthur can kiss my arse.
It was demanded of our military that they salute the flag of Great Britain.
There is nothing ceremonial about such an act. A salute is a salute. It has power and force. A salute to the Queen in her silly robes and throne holding a golden scepter is disgusting. Our military swears an oath to protect the US and its Constitution not the monarchy of Great Britain who our forefathers died on the battlefield trying to save us from.
What were they saving us from? They were saving us from a future as subjects of a Crown. They were saving us from being forced to bear loyalty to a monarch who believes there is something in her blood which makes her the rightful ruler of a people.
It is the very concept of royalty that the framers designed this country in opposition to.
The US is a direct creation of men who were determined that Government should fear the citizens. But when was the last time that happened? Our Government does not fear the people, but rather strikes fear in the people.
In his state of the Union address on December 6, 1881, Chester Arthur discussed this treasonous act as follows:
The feeling of good will between our own Government and that of Great Britain was never more marked than at present. In recognition of this pleasing fact I directed, on the occasion of the late centennial celebration at Yorktown, that a salute be given to the British flag…
The presence at the Yorktown celebration of representatives of the French Republic and descendants of Lafayette and of his gallant compatriots who were our allies in the Revolution has served to strengthen the spirit of good will which has always existed between the two nations.
Wasn’t this unconstitutional act a diplomatic smack in the face to France, our allies in the revolutionary war? As long as the usurper was in the mood for a flag saluting free for all, why salute the enemy flag and not the flag of France, a country who saw men killed fighting for our freedoms as opposed to saluting the monarchy which tried to enslave us more than once?
[Thanks to reader Joss Brown who first brought this to my attention.]
Chester Arthur also appointed Justice Horace Gray to the US Supreme Court. Gray wrote the majority decision in Wong Kim Ark. That decision seriously damaged the true meaning of the 14th Amendment by subverting the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and thereafter weakening the jurisdiction of the US to prevent abuse of our immigration and naturalization laws.
The decision in Wong Kim Ark at first glance tends to give the appearance of sanitizing Chester Arthur’s citizenship issues. One cannot help but wonder if Justice Gray was protecting the legality of his SCOTUS appointment. Such is the everlingering stench of usurpation upon national precedent.
I expect that with these revelations coming at a rather fast pace, internet researchers/bloggers etc. will continue to unearth more relevant facts which bear witness to the true wisdom our forefathers had when they wrote Article 2, Section, 1, Clause 5: the natural born citizen POTUS eligibility requirement.
It comes as no surprise to me that usurper Chester Arthur, a closet British Subject, forced the US military to salute the flag of Great Britain. Furthermore, his words of respect for the unjust institution of monarchy – where the subjects are held by law to be lesser creatures than those of the throne – is a blasphemy on the principles of our republican form of Government where we the people own the country and its government.
This very concept - that the government must answer to we the people – is a blasphemy to monarchy. Since Chester Arthur was a natural born subject of Great Britain, he was born into blasphemy of our republican form of Government.
US President Barack Obama, Jr. was also a natural born British citizen/subject, a fact he has openly admitted. I will examine his current status under the monarchy of Great Britain in a forthcoming report.

Ping me when Obama orders Service Members to Salute the Kenyan Flag.
This is an international courtesy that is extended by virtually every nation to every other nation. Just as American officers salute the officers of foreign nations, and vice versa.
The author's over-the-top histronics in this article do not serve much of a purpose.
When did Caligula “openly admit” British citizenship?
You think such hysterics makes any worthwhile point?
The theory that having foreign born parents precludes full citizenship is nonsense. You’re born in the US or its possessions, or you aren’t. Period.
Also I’ve aware of US Naval personnel dipping the colors and saluting foreign flagged allied warships. And Chester Arthur stone dead. So what? Courtesy isn’t subjugation.
And going back to Chester Arthur in the first place thinking that makes some point sane people will listen to? geez
IMPEACH CHESTER ARTHUR!
Birthers are getting odder by the moment.
This is the most amusing one I’ve seen yet...
Guys,
Obama is NOT leaving office. The Congress will not impeach him. The military will not unseat him. The Supreme Court will not take up any birth certificate case and, if they do, they will rule in such a way that Obama will stay in office.
That is just the reality. Pursuing the issue to clarify it is one thing. Pursuing the natural-born issue because you expect Obama to be removed from office is sheer fantasy. It is not going to happen.
One of the nice things about the First Amendment is that it allows the nutburgers to identify themselves as such. Mr. Leo Donofrio has done us a favor by publishing this nonsense. We now know the extent of his ignorance or the extent of his malign propensity to distort facts to fit whatever lunatic ideas he might advance.
Except to make his kind look nuts.
If someone proves that the Usurper was born outside of US territory, or if a court determines that a dual citizen cannot be “natural-born” then the so-called “President” was never one, every decision he made, every law he signed are null and void, and every government official can be liable for obeying either.
This cannot be without legal effect..
And that might be why the Republicans are so cowardly and treasonous about the issue: they are simply afraid of the consequences.
What do you have to say beyond calling names?
A country where the government, its minions and its dupes succeed in painting as “madmen” those who insist on the rule of law is an absolute tyranny.
Why flaunt such an utter ignorance of the law?
Can’t you understand that anyone who knows anything about this issue cannot but notice it and judge you accordingly?
It was only recently removed from his minions’ website:

THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION
At Barack Obama’s web site, the following admission:
“FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship
‘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…’ “
Read that last line again.
“That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…”
That’s an admission that Great Britain “governed the status” of Barack Obama, Jr. He has chosen to highlight this on his own volition.
And this leads to the relevant question:
HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN’S STATUS BE “GOVERNED” BY GREAT BRITAIN?
A natural born citizen’s status should only be governed by the United States. This is the core issue before the Supreme Court of the United States.

[Ed. Notice the link to Fight the Smears is now broken.]
It may have not been the case then.
All right. If I understand correctly, the admission WAS on BARACK OBAMA’S OWN WEBSITE, right? It has now been removed.
Interesting.
I’m very discouraged. Back in the 90s there was incontrovertible evidence that Clinton committed perjury and suborned perjury. He was not removed.
I do not think the current administration of rulers (they are not lawmakers so much as thugs) are at all concerned about laws, or the constitution. Nothing matters to them but staying in power. I doubt it will make any difference to the judicial system and it will be only by God’s grace if 2010 and 2012 are honest elections.
Cut to the chase: this is a public proclamation, not something signed and stuck away in a drawer. It was published and made public at the time. If President Arthur, Secretary of State Blaine, and the Secretaries of War and the Navy did something wrong as implied by this piece of nonsense, then they would have been impeached, convicted, and thrown out of office. They didn't do anything wrong and therefore were not penalized. Sherlock Holmes pointed out in one of the stories the significance of the fact that the dog did not bark.
Or you can believe lunatic conspiracies aided and abetted by the President, important members of the cabinet and the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. The choice is yours. If you make the wrong choice I have nothing further to say to you.
Apparently “President” Arthur was no President at all, and there must have been a conspiracy not to discover, and acknowledge it.
As a consequence, whatever “President” Arthur did as such was by definition illegal.
As to whether something he did would have been legal or not had he not been a usurper, maybe you colud discuss that with Leo Donofrio at http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/potus-usurper-chester-arthur-forced-military-to-salute-british-flag/
