Meet the original 'birther'
WND.com ^ | June 12, 2012 | Joseph Farah

Exclusive: Joseph Farah offers just a few examples of 'duplicity and deceit by Obama'

Few groups have taken a beating in the media over the last four years like the so-called “birthers.”

Americans motivated by a pursuit of the truth and a passion for the Constitution have been vilified, mischaracterized, ridiculed and labeled as racists for their trouble.

Most often “birthers” are described in the media as those who believe Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya rather than Hawaii – even though those questioning Obama’s constitutional eligibility seldom make such claims or representations.

But I do know someone who has made such a claim. And he did it long before the term “birther” was coined as an epithet by media completely without curiosity about Obama’s background.

Meet the very first “birther” – Barack Obama himself.

I’ve been called “the king of the birthers” because of my commitment to pursuing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about Obama’s life story. Yet I have never claimed he was born in Kenya. In fact, when pushed in countless interviews my answer has always been the same: I don’t know where Obama was born.

But Obama himself maintained for 16 years – right up until 2007 when he got serious about running for the presidency – that he was indeed born in Kenya. He used this claim to his personal advantage to sell books. For all we know, he may have used it to his personal advantage as a student and as a community organizer.

Even this revelation, however, has not made the media the slightest bit curiouser about Obama’s life story. We’re just supposed to accept what he says today as an article of faith.

I have a problem with this.

There is a reason he has hidden everything from college. Did he get aid as a foreign student?

The Diversion Continues.

Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Arpaio seems to be helping with making just that point as well on a case in Florida, as well as demanding original documents. The article is on WND.

The SCOTUS has refused to hear the case against 0bambi because the plaintiffs “do not have standing”. Can anyone tell me who the blazes has standing and what it means?

If we the people don’t have standing, then it is a meaningless legal term.

What amazes me is that there must be many people who know the truth & yet remain silent.

Do you fear Barack Obama?

Canada Free Press

http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/12999

(snip)

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

(snip)

But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

(snip)

Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.

(Snip

Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

(Snip)

Who will save freedom?

A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.

(Snip

Dr. Orly Taitz, Phil Berg and Gary kreep, all of whom have made defending the constitution and the American way of life a personal ambition in the absence of any constitutional leadership.

If the American people fail to get behind these brave few who are seeking peaceful redress, all the peaceful options will evaporate as if they never existed. We will return to a pre-1776 America overnight.

Seriously? I always thought Charles Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll was quite a smart cookie. http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/wonderland/curiouser.htm

The Christ Church Mathematical Lectureship, which he held for 26 years, presumably isn’t awarded to idiots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Carroll

My dear, I think we're already there.

Read these excerpts from the Declaration, and think about how they apply:

* He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

* He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

* He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

* He {intends to keep} among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

* He {intends to render} the military independent of and superior to civil power.

* He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws...

* For depriving us in many {future} cases, of the benefits of trial by jury...

* He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless ... savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

* In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

What about ELECTORS?

How many of the court cases’ plaintoffs have been electors?

And out of those cases, how many have NOT been stymied?

Who else have NOT brought challenges in court?

The answer might be obtained by process of elimination.

The recently discovered official Obama bio maintained by his literary agency for 16 years completely validates the eligibility issue and Obama has not yet been held to account for it. He and his press office need to be hounded for an explanation on where the information could possibly have come from except from Obama. I’d also love to see someone ask Obama or Jay Carnie why he (Obama) doesn’t owe the so-called “birthers” a HUGE APOLOGY!

Standing is a legal doctrine that determines whether or not an individual is entitled to have the court decide the merits of a case. There are essentially three elements the court must consider when determining an individual’s standing to sue in federal court.

1. Injury

The plaintiff must have suffered a direct injury or be likely to suffer a direct injury. The injury must be unique or particularized to the plaintiff. The plaintiff must have a personal stake in the controversy. It is not enough to be interested in the outcome of the controversy as a member of the general public.

(i.e. Obama’s ineligibility affects the general public as a whole. No one person suffered a direct injury, except John McCain - who chose not to sue - and possibly the electors or various secretaries of state who are responsible for elections/ballots.)

2. Causation

The defendant must be directly responsible for the injury to the plaintiff. The actions of a third party, who is not before the court, do not constitute causation.

(i.e. Obama must have acted directly to deceive the plaintiff or commit fraud against him or instructed his agent to do so. A plaintiff must show that Obama knew he was born outside of the U.S. and lied about it or that he intentionally created/published/submitted a fraudulent document. His handlers and staff may have, but that is not sufficient to establish causation under the law.)

3. Redressability

The Court must have the power and jurisdiction to provide a remedy for the plaintiff’s injury.

(i.e. The Court can declare Obama ineligible, but the only way to remove a member of the Executive branch without impeachment by Congress - or imprisonment through criminal courts - is through a writ of quo warranto in the District of Columbia. No such writ has been granted.)

IMO, the courts have defined standing too narrowly in order to lighten their caseload and have consequently denied the public access to judicial remedies. Just because a “wrong” affects everyone in the same manner doesn’t mean they aren’t injured. It seems to me that we need to challenge the courts on the constitutionality of their self-imposed legal doctrine.

That said, IANAL.

Deep Throat

This is clearly a time in which potential whistleblowers feel far more exposed to intimidation and retaliation than protected by laws or people "covering their six".   This is a feature of a Banana Republic, where corruption is allowed to run rampant and is not a trait of a healthy, "FreeRepublic."
