Well, you know, sometimes us pesky folks over at Citizen Wells get a little curious. And, well, I just had to know why such an important case such as this wasn’t worth mentioning.

So I did a search on Akin Gump Obama contributions and discovered that these folks are real generous with their money. Akin Gump. You know, “Life is like a box of chocolates.”

BTTT!

God bless and protect the guy who should take Obama’s place in the White House.

Not to belittle the important battle going on in Afghanistan, but the Muslim in the White House right now can do a heckuva lot more damage to this country than any of the people our forces are killing in Afghanistan.

Let’s not swallow the camel while straining out the gnat. If the US military officers intend to keep their oaths to defend the US Constitution, then Lakin is doing much more for that cause where he is right now than he could ever have done in Afghanistan. The homeland has been attacked by a lawless coup and more and more of our critical infrastructure is being seized by the day. It does us no good to put our heads in the sand and pretend otherwise.

I will believe this trial will take place when I see it.

Somehow they have to avoid it or crucify this guy.

So let’s review.

LTC Lakin can probably be found guilty of either Charge II Spec 1 or Spec 2, but not both.

Assuming that the government has sufficient evidence to overcome the ultimate offense doctrine, the maximum confinement for that pair of offenses will be six months. LTC Lakin probably can’t be found guilty of both Spec 3 and Spec 4 of Charge II.

The government will choose to retain a finding of guilty to Spec 4, resulting in another possible 6 months of confinement.

So the max punishment for Charge II and its specs will likely be a dismissal, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 1 year (plus maybe a fine).

As we’ve previously discussed, the government may not be able to prove Charge I.

The charged offense requires that LTC Lakin missed the movement of an aircraft with which he was required in the course of duty to move. To win a conviction, the government would have to prove that LTC Lakin had a duty to be on the particular USAirways flight alleged on the charge sheet. But those in receipt of itineraries including commercial flights are generally authorized to change those flights.

It seems unlikely that a flight from BWI to Charlotte, NC, is the only way LTC Lakin could have gotten from the Washington, DC, area to Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Now, given the history of the case, it’s certainly possible that some superior authority said to LTC Lakin words to the effect of, “You had better have your rear end on a seat on USAirways flight number 1123 leaving BWI Airport at 0840 hours on 12 April 2010!” (Thanks, Mr. Lowrey!)

If so, he can be found guilty of missing movement. But if he wasn’t given a thou-shalt-not-change-thy-flight order, he probably can’t be found guilty of missing movement and his maximum confinement exposure will be a year. See United States v. Kapple, 40 M.J. 472, 473-74 (C.M.A. 1994).

But let’s say that LTC Lakin did receive such a thou-shalt-not-change order.

What’s his maximum confinement exposure then? That situation is anomalous. Missing movement is really just the means by which LTC Lakin committed the offense that the government really cares about — failing to report to Fort Campbell as ordered. No one really cares that LTC Lakin wasn’t on a particular USAirways flight from BWI to Charlotte.

And yet the spec alleging the means is punishable by four times the maximum punishment of the spec alleging the ultimate offense. Can LTC Lakin be separately convicted and punished for both the means by which he committed the offense and the ultimate offense? Under CAAF’s case law, yes.

CAAF has specifically rejected multiplicity for findings challenges in a means/ultimate offense context. United States v. Teters, 37 M.J. 370 (C.M.A. 1993).

And, in a post-Teters case, CAAF has held that “Congress intended to permit separately punishing the offenses of willful disobedience and missing movement.” United States v. Morrison, 41 M.J. 482, 484 (C.A.A.F. 1995).

That would likely preclude a ruling that Charge I and its spec are multiplicious for either findings or sentencing purposes with Charge II, Spec 3 or 4.

Judge Lind could rule that missing movement and either violation of a lawful order or willful dereliction of duty constituted an unreasonable multiplication of charges under the five Quiroz factors, but probably wouldn’t, especially since a necessary predicate to a finding of guilty for missing movement would be a firm indication to LTC Lakin that he’d better be on that particular flight.

Additionally, it’s apparent that the government didn’t allege both the missing movement and the Article 92 offenses as a cynical means to increase LTC Lakin’s potential confinement; as previously mentioned, had the government been trying to maximize LTC Lakin’s confinement, it would have charged the orders violations under Article 90 rather than under Article 92.

So, if the government can prove missing movement, then LTC Lakin’s maximum possible punishment will likely be a dismissal, confinement for three years, and total forfeiture of pay and allowances.

(I could also see the government making a plausible argument for a fine in this case.)

If the government can’t prove the missing movement, then the maximum possible punishment will be a dismissal, confinement for one year, and total forfeiture of pay and allowances — plus, maybe, a fine.

They’re already denying him his due process rights; why not go the full way and crucify him?

At least that’s the logic you’re left with when the rule of law is abandoned.

Lakin’s lawyers will try to get him out of this trial because they know the military is part of the critical infrastructure that has already been compromised/seized. That’s why the same retired military leaders who were saying that Obama’s eligibility was critical to the court-martial charges are now claiming that it’s not. What changed? They understood that the military system cannot be trusted to rule rightly on something of this weight, and they don’t want bad precedent set.

IOW, they’re backing down because they’ve looked into the eyes of the beast and realize the beast literally would crucify a noble and innocent man in order to keep a fraud who has spent his entire life trying to destroy this country at the helm against our Constitution and laws.

Incredibly sad. Especially since they must also know that appeal in the civilian courts will either be denied, or else the civilian courts have also been seized by this beast already.

Why do they bother trying to parse it as if the laws or rules make any difference? Judge Lind can do what she darn well pleases. Period. The point is made. There is no rule of law so let’s just skip the kissing as if that makes it more palatable and get right to the rape.

He will not get a fair trial where he can present his evidence or have the court order Obama to appear with his documentation that he is qualifies for the Presidency.

I would bet the farm on that.

Somehow they will skirt the issue.

Courage and the Constitution

An Open Letter to Commander Charles Kerchner and Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin

CDR Charles Kerchner

As we stand on the eve of one of the most important moments in our Nation’s history, I want to thank you for your courage, commitment, and honor in standing up for the Constitution for the United States of America.

You both have put the safety and security of our Nation above any interest of self, fortune, or career… something I have felt and feel personally. I humbly acknowledge the gift you are giving our Nation…a courage so profound that the only other place it is seen is on the battlefield.

LTC Terrence Lakin

History will write of this time that there were those who stood– unabashedly and with great intellect, fundamental knowledge of our foundation and roots as Americans, and courage–against the tyranny of the usurpation of the White House by a foreign agent aided by enemies within. Your names will be among those who are the true Constitutional heroes.

Standing on Constitutional grounds, you have laid bare the deception, and carved a way to correct it and move forward. Just the way our Founders intended.

And we, the undersigned, pledge that we have your backs no matter what happens…at this grave hour, tirelessly we too will defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help me God.

Thank you, Sirs

As we stand on the eve of one of the most important moments in our Nation’s history, I want to thank you for your courage, commitment, and honor in standing up for the Constitution for the United States of America.

Those with Republican Representatives need to start lobbying them to subpoena Obama's birth records on the day they take over the House. We can prove with finality this argument of Obama's place of birth and who his father is.

Wasn't conservativemonster the website promoting the crazy Rev. Manning “Obama was a Reagan era CIA agent” trial?

The judge skirted it by saying outright that she wouldn’t let Lakin’s defense have a fair hearing. She said that whether Obama can Constitutionally be the CINC is irrelevant to the lawfulness of the orders Lakin received. Totally blew off the “elements” of Article 92 which say that an order can only be lawful if it is not contrary to the Constitution. She says Constitutionality is irrelevant.

How could you directly contradict a law more blatantly than that

There will be no justice for Lt Col Lakin under this coup. Coups never administer justice. It’s one of the first things to go when the infrastructure is seized.

Just look at the Department of Injustice and their crusade to overlook crimes by political allies, and to keep anybody but the feds from being able to protect against illegal invasion (which the feds refuse to do). Just look at Homeland Security, which will poke their fingers where the sun don’t shine on normal people and let women (or men dressed as women, as they’ve often done in the past) in hijabs waltz through without laying a hand on them.

A person could suffer the indignity if it was actually going to do some good, but just to make sure we know we’re being shafted they let the real danger waltz through, sticking their tongues out at all us suckers as they go. The point is to let us know that all the “rationale” given for everything is just crap - what they’re really telling us is that we have entered a different era, where injustice is heralded as justice and danger is heralded as security. Where government takeover of industry and speech is heralded as freedom.

The military has made their point. Injustice is justice. We get it. “The Iraqi Security Forces are defeating the evil American soldiers at Baghdad International Airport” as we all watch the opposite on TV. We all know what’s going on here.

I wish we could just skip the propaganda part.

Don’t think so.

I met a few friends from The Conservative Monster as well and it was great to know that they supported myself and Pastor Manning at a time when we needed them most.

Several pages of aspx files...Cooper was doing radio reports about the "CIA trials".

Conservative Monster giving Lakin an award is not helpful to his cause.

Okay. I guess he’s entitled to his opinion as
we all are.
