Houses and Birth Certificates For Sale: At a Little Red and Orange Corner Store
Independent Individualist ^ | 7/3/09 | Reginald Firehammer

Posted on 07/03/2009 8:18:14 AM PDT by Hank Kerchief

Where would you go to buy a copy of Barack Hussein Obama's Kenyan birth certificate?

You could try eBay. WoldNetDaily announced that it was for sale there June 27th. It was even picked up in a Kenyan newspaper which linked to a FreeRepublic story about WorldNetDaily's announcement.

Since the story is over a week old now (July3), most will have heard about it, but in case you haven't here are the details.

An eBay seller identified at that time only as "colmado_naranja" put up for auction the birth certificate for "president Barack Hussein Obama" which he claimed he had acquired from The Coast Provincial Hospital at Mombasa Kenya, which proved that Obama was born there at "7:24 PM on August 4th, 1961."

That auction was quickly pulled, but you can go here to see what it looked like.

In rapid succession, "colmado_naranja" made repeated attempts to make the birth certificate available on eBay, each time changing the "object" being listed, while indicating the birth certificate would be "part of the deal," to get around eBay's questionable ruling.

Each of those attempts were well documented by WND, here, here, and here.

The last attempted auction was called, "The Truth About USA President Barack Hussein Obama II," described as "a dissertation about the physical birth," of Obama. Here is a copy of that auction, and here is a copy of all the bids showing that the final bid was for $1,000,099.01.

There was one more auction initiated by "colmado_naranja," but this one was different. There is no offer at all of the birth certificate, only a photo of "Smith and Andylenny." This auction has not yet been pulled, but if it is, you can see it here.

This auction is important because it reveals the name of the seller, "Smith," as well as a couple of other names, Andylenny and Dawnella Wilson, who is apparently the woman credited with financing the trip to Kenya. There is also mention of her as the contact for information about Smith's books. Note that. Most importantly, the auction also includes an announcement:

"I plan to upload a video to Youtube. My user name is InspectorSmith. ... So you'll get your document yet, up close and personal. After the Youtube video I will be heading over to WorldNetDaily to talk with Joseph Farah. I will disclose everything to them."

There is also this little gem: I'd like to add a quote by a well known past democratic (sic) US President. It reads: 'To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.' Theodore Roosevelt." Theodore Roosevelt was a Republican.

If you have a look at his YouTube page, you'll notice this comment on the left side, "By the way, the new pictures on eBay. The newest is of Danwella (sic) and I. The other two are of me of course but, are only listed to show the background neighborhood in Africa." Maybe!

Someone named Barackryphal has done some real detective work, (along with a poster on Free Republic) and discovered this picture, which the writer describes:

That's a CBS Photo of the Day, from a year ago. The caption reads 'Lucas Smith rides his bike through the water after checking up on his flooded house in the southwestern area of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Friday June 13, 2008.' It looks an awful lot like colmado_naranja ..."

Is Lucas Smith colmado-naranja?

Well Lucas Smith has a Wikipedia user page, which says:

"Hi, my name is Lucas Smith. I am an American. I was born in January of 1980 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I enjoy reading and refurbishing old houses. Michael Crichton is my favorite author. I speak English as well as Spanish. In the year 2006 I studied abroad in the Dominican Republic at Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra. While growing up I attended different schools in Iowa, Illinois, Florida and Washington State." [Emphasis mine.]

There's more on Wikipedia for Lucas Smith, but first, here is a screen shot of a portion of colmado-naranja's eBay Member User ID History. He also goes by the user name colmado_scarlette.

Now, the other interesting Wikipedia page for Lucas Smith. The page is a long list of postings on Wikipedia by Lucas that have been recommended for deletion. If you scroll down the page one of the things you will notice in bold letters is, "Colmado scarlette," the same name he has used, in another form, on eBay.

Colmado

Colmado is translated "overwhelmed" in Spanish, which would make colmado-naranja "overwhelmed orange" and colmado-scarlette "overwhelmed red." But the Spanish syntax is wrong and it doesn't make sense. Remember the emphasized phrase from the Wikipedia user page above, "I studied abroad in the Dominican Republic." It turns out, that in the Dominican Republic the word colmado means a little store.

"COLMADO: Def: Small store, sometimes located in part of someone's house, that sells foodstuffs, beer, rum, cleaning supplies, products for the house and calling cards in large and small quantities. Located on every corner of every street in every campo, pueblo and city in the Dominican Republic."

Now have a look at the colmado_naranja's seller page again on the left, and the enlarged image on the right. It's obviously a picture of children in a little store. Notice the scales in the background.

But Lucas Smith does not just sell birth certificates and personal snapshots. The Wikipedia page on which we found the "Colmado scarlette," identification, also mentions his books, or at least one of them, Murder By Tejuana & Treachery By Bush and the Supreme Court, which he describes as "... one of the most important ever written in history."

This book (and there are apparently others) is, no doubt, what contacting Dawnella Wilson would be about. But there is more that Lucas Smith has for sale, also mentioned on that Wikipedia page. Another page recommended for "speedy deletion" is entitle, "Virgin mary (sic) appears at house in Cedar Rapids Iowa."

Remember the Wikipedia user page page statement, "I enjoy reading and refurbishing old houses.?" Well that is what the Wikipedia reference is about. The house in question is fully described on this mySpace page.

The description of this house and the "story" that goes with it are as amazing as the story of the Obama birth certificate itself. It is a story of apparitions, and ghosts, and levitating dishes. The house looks quite ordinary, however. There are many pictures but the most significant is the one I've included which clearly shows who is selling this house. The accompanying explanation for the photo is, "Holding up the sale sign letting you know that this is the Ebayer "Colmado_Scarlette" that is going to be putting the place up ..." Since that name is now defunct on eBay, the house will never be put up.

What Do We Know?

The question that everyone has about all of this, of course, is whether or not this guy, Lucas Smith, really has the goods on Barak Hussein Obama. We know a lot about him, but none of it actually helps us know the answer to that most important question. There are just too many things that do not add up.

For example on that "house" page, Lucas Smith claims to be "Male, 32 years old," but on his Wikipedia user page he claims to have been born in 1980, which would make him 29 years old. Why the 3-year difference?

There is another question that must be asked. The bidding on the the last "successful" auction (meaning only that it lasted for the longest time,) amounted to $1,000,099.01. There is something very odd about that. If you did not look at the previous link, please look at the copy of the bids. Notice that several of the "bids" are by the same bidder when there were no intervening bids. In other words, these bids are against themselves, or an awkward attempt to inflate the bidding.

There has been nothing on "Smith's" YouTube account in 24 hours, since he said, "We are working on the video right now," but the following has been added to the current auction for the dubious snapshots:

So now eBay removes my listing for selling a picture? That doesn't sound bizarre to anyone? And I read that people are finding information about Smith posted on the internet which supposedly discredits him? Smith is a scammer? Give me a break.

And now when we go to log into InspectorSmith's Youtube account our password is not recognized. All this for a scam, huh, a good laugh?

Just the other day I noted that I was thankful for freerepublic. Reminds me of a bunch off lukewarm turncoats. Change your opinion every time that the wind blows in a different direction. Here's another quote, ?Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.? - Alexander Hamilton. And what, what will be your opinion tomorrow? You've now concluded that "O" was born in the USA? Or better yet, now you'll be reporting my listing to eBay and demanding that it be pulled?

Make up your minds, have a little backbone.

Does everyone want to know a little more about "O"s bc?

A. Contains name of both the mother and the father.

B. Contains name of the physician that was present. Signed by this doctor.

C. Is an exact copy of the original 1961 Mombasa hospital birth certificate. Includes 2009 embossed seal of the hospital in Mombasa. Contains a 2009 signature from staff that issued this copy with embossed seal.

D. Contains right footprint (baby "O").

E. Includes other signature as well.

What Does It Mean?

The intense interest in this story, and the sense of disappointment expressed in so many posts means that many people are aware that the current president of the United States is a fake, and worse, a collectivist, leftist, totalitarian, and they are desperate for anything that can prove what he is in an unequivocal way. Proof that he is legally ineligible for the office of president is precisely the kind of "proof" that would serve the purpose.

That is exactly what Lucas Smith, AKA, colmado_naranja, AKA, colmado_scarlette has been promising for over a week. It has nothing to do with "backbone." With his track record of self-promotion and failure to deliver (the house for example), all this is beginning to try people's credulity and patience. It is time to deliver, if you have the goods. In simple terms, Mr. Smith, put up or shut-up.

Just imagine if the amount of investigative work that was expended in uncovering the identity of “colmado naranja” was instead applied toward turning up 0’s true birth certificate.

This is probably a scam, whose perpetrator is trying to discredit those who want to see Obama’s real birth certificate.

The result, however, is that now more people want to see his birth certificate.

“Notice that several of the “bids” are by the same bidder when there were no intervening bids. In other words, these bids are against themselves, or an awkward attempt to inflate the bidding.”

I’m not sure if this is correct. You can enter your maximum bid, and the ebay program will automatically raise your bids until the max is reached. If you put a max of say, $100, and the current bid is $10. Someone else bids $15, ebay will automatically put you in for $20, and so on until your max is reached. I don’t think other bidders names would even appear. Not 100% sure though.

Well, such a searxh will not uncover much since the affirmative action figure fraud-in-chief has spent well over a million in detective and lawyewr fees/expenses to prevent such materials from being available. And unJustice Roberts has placed his criminal stamp of approval on the fraud, so the entire exercise is moot. We are a ruled class of serfs to a federal oligarchy, just going through the motions of imagining we are still the sovereigns of a Constitutional Republic.

“All bidders will appear.”

Don’t you have to go to the “bidding history” to find that? If you just look at the “Current Bid” window, you just see the high bid. So, a casual glance, without the “history” might make it look like someone is bidding against himself. Of course if you’re serious, you would check the “history.” Also, doesn’t ebay tell you that you’re the current high bid?

Yea, by that I meant the bidding history. You can outbid yourself, which I consider a bug in the ebay software.

But 99/100 when you see the same bidder appear in the history, it’s because someone else is bidding up the auction.

You can’t change the rules after game starts.

Suppose celebrity Republicans Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria and singer Gloria Estefan, who was born in Cuba, chose to run for President.
They would be prevented from doing so since per Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, one must be a natural born citizen of the United States to hold office as President. Their births in Austria and Cuba would not be considered natural born citizenship.

A case might be made that Barack Obama knew that he was not eligibile to serve as President since he’s probably not a natural born citizen. Consequently, he forged a “Certification of Live Birth” (COLB) and advertised it to the American people as authentic.

Dr. Ron Polarik analyzed Obama’s COLB and determined it to be a forgery. I firmly agree with him. The enclosed link provides Polarik’s article and displays the alleged forged document while pointing out altered numbers and discrepancies, etc.:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2136816/posts

It is a felony to forge a government document and there could be a multitude of felony counts contained here against Obama.

Dr. Polarik has also indicated that he will update this report.

We the American people have the right to know if our President is eligible to hold office. For many, Obama has not proven this requirement.

Obama, I ask, WHERE were you born in Hawaii? Prove it! Where is your original birth certificate? Where?

The authorities MUST enforce the Constitution and require Obama to prove that he is a natural born American citizen. Action on this case is past due! If the Constitution were not going to be enforced, Schwarzenegger or Estefan could have been on the Republican ticket in 2008. What law permits the Democrats special privileges?

In closing, our past Presidents have Birthplace Museums. Just to name a few, Ronald Reagan has a Birthplace Museum in Tampico, Illinois and Bill Clinton has a Birthplace Museum in Hope, Arkansas where they were born. Where will Barack Obama’s Birthplace Museum be located at? At the Coast Provincial General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya?

I agree! Didn’t realize you could do that.

Somebody can kind of secure his bidding by placing a maximum sum that you are willing to pay, which is NOT disclosed to other bidders. So when some one else place a bid he gets immediately a message that he has been out bid, try to increase you bid. That is why the same bidder is seen multiply times until he becomes the highest bidder, does that makes sense???

The Obama squad won’t be taking a holiday off this weekend, they have marching orders to attack anything and everything especially the validity of those that question the savior of mankind.

I am slightly awed at the detail these people are using to dicredit this Kenyan birth certificate, its actually coming off to us people in more detail than the propaganda war against Sarah Palin.

I believe Obama was born in Africa, I do NOT trust attempts to discredit people trying to prove it.

Its the game of intimidation, bore and stupefy the people to believe “credible” facts.

The Constitution was the contract between the federal government and we the people, making the people the actual sovereigns of this nation, operating under a Republican style governance.

The original contract has been abrogated by the federal oligarchs in order to allow an affirmative action fraud to rise tot he Presidency.

Now, you may be under the impression that the contract can be ‘once again in force’ but it cannot. The original contract has been abrogated by those who swore an oath to uphold and defend that contract so those federal criminals can no longer enter into a valid reaffirmation of the original contract they purposely abrogated.

We the people now live in a federal oligarchy where the ruling party rules the nation and we people are merely the subjects/tax serfs to those elite oligarchs.

There is no 'middle of the game', the game ended when federal representatives purposely refused to sustain their oaths and asserted that we the people have no standing to challenge their rulings ... there is no game/no contract to which both sides are to be held accountable since one side has purposely refused to stand by the oath they took to the contract.

It is unlikely that any person coherent enough to post an eBay auction would be so crazy as to bluff a hoax about a Kenyan B.C. for Barack Obama II, knowing that it might get him killed. Tuesday afternoon, eBay pulled the "InspectorSmith with Andylenny picture" auction that was to close on Friday. The two Cedar Rapids addresses for Smith are in the flood plain, which means that he is unlikely to be making over $250,000 a year. ____________________________________________________________ From InspectorSmith's YouTube page Jul 7, 2009 12:09 AM RE: Please make haste to release the B.C.. Hi, thanks for writing. Point taken. I admire your passion. I've been in talks with news outlets since July 3rd. They've asked me to not release the Youtube video just yet. Please be patient. Thank you and please keep in touch.

Thanks so much for the update.

I agree the posting on eBay would be crazy if it were some kind of hoax, but the guy has been hustling, trying cover up a lot of things. He’s changed his Wikipedia user page to eliminate his attending school in the Dominican Republic. Why would he do that? [I have a copy of the original user page, by the way. here:

Here’s the current one:

He’s also taken down his MySpace page with the house for sale. You can see the original here:

http://usabig.com/atnmst/obama_bc_files/houseforsalevirginmary.html

which was the connection to the colmado_scarlette Ebay name.

Why all the changes if he’s not trying to hide something?

I hope I’m wrong, but there is something very fishy with this guy. There is actually someone who says he is a convicted scam artist, but there was no corroboration of that. I can tell you, my experience with such people is very similar to this. The big question is, there does not seem to be any way for there to be a pay-off for this guy. Lot’s of questions. One thought keeps coming to mind. Suppose you wanted to make the whole BO BC thing look like the work of wacko “birthers.” Could his pay off come from the other side?

Don’t anyone believe a thing luke smith says. omg it is too funny. I laughed so hard after reading his “ story” about that house. I lived in that house for a year and the weirdest thing that happened- aside from luke disappearing for months when the basement flooded with sewage- was the over population of mice eating the wiring of my tv. He has quite a few aliases and never works- oh and he pops in and out of Cedar Rapids at his whim or when he is in trouble with the law. I don’t believe he has ever been to Kenya for that matter. HE IS A COMPLETE NUT

Thank you, cjmally, I think that sums it up nicely. There is something about his type I’ve run across frequently in my nearly 70 years—and it’s always something exaggerated, yet in a strange way, “charming,” and the reason so many are easily taken in by these types.

Thanks for the personal experience info.

Hank

You wrote, “The big question is, there does not seem to be any way for there to be a pay-off for this guy.”

Probably not now, but his auction for the “Kenya Birth Certificate” went over $1,000,000 before eBay pulled it.

There are so many things about this investigation that don’t make sense, so there must be room for one more, and I guess Mr. Lucas Smith is it. His purposes and motives appear to be nonstandard, to say the least, and probably crooked and twisted except inside his head. He had his moment of fame and “wealth on paper,” like a high-roller at Vegas who lost it all before morning light. He will be kicking himself for the rest of his life, “I had a million bucks almost in my grasp...”

I think that “doing this intentionally to make the BHO BC issue look wacky” is a stretch. He was a career scam-artist, looking for a fast million, and now everyone connects his face with this scam. Busted. Flipping burgers is too noble for the likes of Lucas Smith.
