Washington, D.C., April 13, 2010. Army doctor Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin yesterday met with his brigade commander, Col. Gordon R. Roberts, who proceeded to read LTC Lakin his Miranda rights, and who informed LTC Lakin he had the “right to remain silent” because LTC Lakin is about to be charged with serious crimes. Col. Roberts was at age 19 awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the only recipient of the nation’s highest honor currently on active duty in the Army.
LTC Lakin had previously been ordered in writing to report yesterday to Ft. Campbell, KY and then on to deploy for his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Lakin refused to obey these orders and instead came to work yesterday morning at the Pentagon. Late yesterday afternoon he was confronted by his brigade commander.
Before the meeting was over, LTC Lakin’s Pentagon Access Pass had been revoked, and his laptop computer was set to be confiscated.
The message to LTC Lakin is clear; through official channels, he was informed yesterday that he will shortly be court-martialled for crimes (specifically, missing movement and conduct unbecoming an officer) that for others has led to lengthy imprisonment at hard labor.
Lakin has announced in a YouTube video that has now been viewed more than 110,000 times that he considers it his duty to refuse to obey orders that would be illegal if President Obama is ineligible to hold office.
Meanwhile, cries mount for proof of that eligibility, but nothing has been forthcoming. The Obama campaign at one point released a copy of computer-generated abstract of information purportedly in Hawaii's records system, but the source of this information is unclear and need not have been a birth certificate issued contemporaneously and signed by the doctor who attended the birth. Even the document released was only a copy, and the version printed in the Los Angeles Times on June 16, 2008 is on a form only in use since late 2001. Even as it is, the document contains a warning that it is merely “prima facie”--threshold, rebuttable and thus inconclusive --evidence of birth, and the copy the Times printed mysteriously has the certificate number blacked out, thereby rendering the document unusable according to language on the bottom.
Given the seriousness of the offenses with which LTC Lakin is about to be charged, the American Patriot Foundation today renewed its plea for donations to its legal defense fund for LTC Lakin. Details are available at APF's website, www.safeguardourconstitution.com
Really?? Where do you find that?? As I recall, the Constitution is silent on that particular aspect.
We shall certainly see - one way, or another.
Unless that statement was taken under oath in a court, or in a notarized document, it means precisely nothing as proof.
I agree. He will be choked or commit ‘suicide.’
<>All three affirmed Obama’s qualifications, and that’s that.<>
No they did not. They affirmed that he received the most votes. They ignored and at best assumed his qualifications based upon the perjured affidavits of the Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Party to the states.

Those perjured affidavits mean that we all get a do-over, and she needs to face fraud charges.
“Not without a signature...”
The NM birth certificate is ‘signed’, sealed and on ‘safety paper’. I would guess Hawaii has some similar process. At best, the military court will take that. Or they may rule the whole issue irrelevant, since it isn’t the place of an individual officer to decide if the President is the President.
They would be entirely justified in taking the word of Congress, which certified the election.
FWIW, the other side has admitted they will infiltrate Tea Party. There is another thread on FR. Here’s Levin’s plans. I wonder if they will come after Lakin, too?:
Levin’s group of protesters plan to get in the heads of tea partiers at the Tax Day Tea Parties nationwide Thursday and manipulate them right out of relevance. They’ll dress like tea partiers, talk like tea partiers and carry signs like tea partiers. In fact, according to Levin they’ll be completely indistinguishable from tea partiers, except for one thing — they won’t be out-crazied by anyone.
“Our goal is that whenever a tea partier says ‘Barack Obama was not born in America,’ we’re going be right right there next to them saying, ‘yeah, in fact he wasn’t born on Earth! He’s an alien!” Levin explained. He said that by making the tea parties sound like a gathering of crazy people — his group’s goal — the movement will lose its power.
parsy, who wonders if they will try to co-opt the Lakin issue
“I checked your posting history and until very recently your sole interest was regular trivia and what is to me religious sect trivia. Then, all of a sudden, both feet on the eligibility threads.”
Feel free to read my 11,000+ posts. You would find I tend to get involved in military matters, and I post fairly often on religion forum threads.
My interest in the eligibility issue is tied to my interest in military matters.
“You write as though the 2 years of incredible research and information provided by numerous freepers wasn’t in existence.”
Incredible research? You mean, on how Obama was really born in Kenya, and no one can prove it because it is all a Soros conspiracy? Or how ‘everyone knows’ that both parents must be American citizens for someone to be a natural born citizen?
Sorry, but it isn’t my attitude that sucks, it is y’alls research.
Again, Obama is not going to let his jpg anywhere near a court of law, military or civilian.
They would be entirely justified in taking the word of Congress, which certified the election.
Except for Congress's inability to document how they ascertained Obama's eligibility.
Unless that statement was taken under oath in a court, or in a notarized document, it means precisely nothing as proof.
Yeah...he will be visited by a naked Rahm Emmanuel.
Two facts:
1. You never posted on any of the eligibilty threads until very, very recently. So if you read any of the two plus years of incredible research, for some reason you posted no questions, opposing arguments, disagreements, evidence of your own - nothing, nada, zilch.
2. Since you jumped in with both feet on the topic very, very recently, you use scorn and derision and bald assertions as your tactics, without proving wrong any argument by those who have done the painstaking research.
I have no idea what axe you’re grinding, but it’s obvious your grinding something. Interest in truth and dedication to justice is patently obvious, not your interest here.
Your ignorance is on display for all the world to see; you’re fooling no one.
Congress is responsible for certifying the presidential election - not the courts. HOW Congress does it, or what level of evidence they require, is left to Congress.
That pesky Constitution doesn’t leave it for the courts to decide the outcome of the presidential election.
...I’m sure she would provide it for that court. Its done all the time to verify documents.
Ha ha - the argument called “I’ll give you a post dated check, I’ll put the money in the bank to cover it, I promise”.
Feeble.
According to who? You?
Legally, they would not have to “prove” anything....but, if they want to get a conviction....they will need to get that LONG-FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE
No, they won’t. They don’t have to get a thing, do a thing, or prove a thing.
All they have to do is take testimony from LTC Larkin’s commanding officer documenting his orders, and LTC Larkin will be convicted and punished.
LTC Larkin has no right of action which is recognized by either the UCMJ or the US Constitution, and his sacrifice accomplishes exactly zero.
You have no clue how a court-martial works.
Lakin will be able to present evidence....and will be able to gather evidence in discovery. No judge will deny Lakin his requests for discovery....the case would be overturned on appeal.
Welcome to Fantasyland....
And the definition of a "sane" judge is someone who agrees with you on every point, is that it?
Did officer disobey and order?? Yes...Was the order legal??...If Obama fails the Constitutional test, no.
By your definition every single order given by any officer or non-commissioned officer in every branch of the military has been illegal. So everyone should be refusing to follow any order at all.
