I'd like to thank PeaceBeWithYou for adding my book to the thread about John Doe #2, and the Hoffman book about the Oklahoma City Bombing. The only concern I have is that PBWY thought perhaps the Midwest accent I referred to in my book was Chicagoan. Sorry PBWY, think more like Decker, Michigan or Flint, Michigan. Good question about the American servicemen's cemetery in Reims, France, Interpol is wondering about the same thing.But here is the post from PBWY, which I will use to head up my own post. Sorry it took me so long to reply to the original...

In the spirit of Weekend Update's ( That's Saturday Night Live when it was funny for you youngsters) coverage of the death of General Francisco Franco, I thought you all would like to know that Michael Jackson is still DEAD! PS: By the way General Francisco Franco is still dead too!

Back on June 27, 2008, PolitiFact published a story we hoped would put the whole Obama birth certificate controversy to rest. It ran under the now-laughable headline, "Obama's birth certificate: Final chapter." Oh, how naive we were. More than a year later, the debate continues to rage on the Internet among the "Birthers" movement, people who doubt that President Barack Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen and is therefore ineligible to serve as president. Or at least, they say, Obama has yet to sufficiently prove things one way or the other. Today, we examine two claims: • WorldNetDaily's owners took...

Apple has debuted four new ads in its "Get a Mac" campaign on broadcast and cable television networks across the U.S. The new ads take direct aim at Microsoft Windows and the various woes it inflicts upon its sufferers. The "Biohazard Suit" spot targets Windows' inherent insecurity, rampant viruses, worms, and other assorted malware. "Legal Copy" highlights the fact that every Windows boast requires extensive legal disclaimers and qualifiers. "Stacks" explains iPhoto's facial recognition capabilities; sounds expensive, but it's free with every Mac. In "Time Traveler," PC takes a trip into the future to the year 2150 to see how...

The concern over President Obama's eligibility to be president under the U.S. Constitution's demand that the office be occupied by a "natural born" citizen is spreading, with additional writers conceding questions remain about the dispute. "Yes, there were ambiguities about Obama's birth certificate that have never been satisfactorily resolved. And the embargo on Obama's educational records remains troubling," wrote Camille Paglia, a progressive author and columnist at Salon.com.

John Dean, a President Nixon staffer as Watergate was about to unfold, told his boss, "There is a cancer on your presidency." Would any member of President Obama's staff dare tell him any such thing today? Watergate was Nixon's 800-pound gorilla everybody talked about, who sat there until he broke the sofa. The location of Obama's birth is an 800-pound gorilla that gets fatter every day and nobody — at least nobody in major media — likes to admit its existence. There's never been a coming-together of factors resembling this one in America's entire political history. At no point until...

My Lefty friend e-mailed this to me.... unbelievable Dear ****** ******* Thank you for signing my petition at BushTruthCommission.com, urging Congress to consider the establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission to investigate Bush-Cheney Administration abuses. Now, please urge your friends and family to sign the petition as well: http://www.bushtruthcommission.com/ Thank you for supporting this important effort. Sincerely, Patrick Leahy U.S. Senator

Another U.S. soldier on active duty in Iraq is joining a challenge to President Obama's eligibility to be commander-in-chief, citing WND's report on 1st Lt. Scott Easterling, who has agreed to be a plaintiff in a lawsuit over the issue, as his inspiration. "I was inspired by 1LT Easterling's story and am writing you to inform you that I would like to be added as a plaintiff against Obama as well if you feel it would help your case," the soldier, identified for this report only as a reservist now on active duty in Iraq. He letter was directed to...

A U.S. soldier on active duty in Iraq has called President Obama an "impostor" in a statement in which he affirmed plans to join as plaintiff in a challenge to Obama's eligibility to be commander in chief. The statement was publicized by California attorney Orly Taitz who, along with her Defend Our Freedom Foundation, is working on a series of legal cases seeking to uncover Obama's birth records and other documents that would reveal whether he meets the requirements of the U.S. Constitution. "As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility...

I have scanned in the Ron Paul materials I quoted from here last night. I have contacted the moderators here at Free Republic to see about getting the PDFs posted online somehow, but have not heard back. I also emailed LittleGreenFootballs and offered the PDFs to them but have not heard back. The materials are in 4 PDFs--HUGE files. I hope they can be emailed, but I don't know. If anyone has any advice on how to get these things up so EVERYONE on Free Republic can judge for themselves, please contact me through Free Republic. A concerned Marine veteran.

08A524 LIGHTFOOT, GAIL, ET AL. V. BOWEN, CA SEC. OF STATE The application for stay addressed to The Chief Justice and referred to the Court is denied.

LETTER TO EDITOR: Supreme Court accountablity (make sure to read the comments below the letter) Saturday, January 17, 2009 I stand amazed at what I am witnessing in our constitutional republic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Constitution the rule of law in this nation? Don't Supreme Court judges take oaths promising to protect and uphold that Constitution from foreign and domestic enemies? If our laws are derived from this text, then what is it called when those laws are ignored? It is called, "breaking the law." Our Constitution lays down the eligibility requirements for presidents. One requirement...

Thousands of urgent appeals for the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the question of Barack Obama's eligibility to be president of the United States are being delivered to the justices as part of WND's campaign to seek the truth. The high court has conferences scheduled on cases addressing Obama's eligibility tomorrow and again on Jan. 23. They cite Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, which stipulates the office of president can only be filled by "a natural born citizen." Because the Supreme Court justices do not accept faxes, e-mails or telephone calls, WND assembled an option for a delivery...

When I applied for a passport I was asked to supply my birth certificate. This seemed like a reasonable request; how else could the passport office know I was entitled to an American passport? I was not seeking to become president of the United States; I wasn’t even trying to enroll in any of the plethora of government welfare programs, I was merely doing something as a citizen I had a right to do. If I was trying to become president and I was not yet 35 years old, I would not qualify. If for some reason it was noticed...

Did you think the constitutional concerns about Obama were overblown? Maybe not after you listen to this. Tonight on Evil Conservative Radio we were pleased to have Dr. Orly Taitz, who has been a key figure in several cases regarding Obama's constitutional qualifications to be president. This is the interview in it's entirety.

Perhaps the following would bring forth the elussive BC. A large sum of money, upwards of 1 million dollars, is placed in trust with a reputable bank. This money would be designated to be paid to a chairatible organization upon BHO producing the genuine certificate, and allowing it be verified by forensics experts. If he produces the genuine BC within a reasonable time, say ten days, the funds go to charity and he is a hero, if he ddoesn't the money is returned to the source, and some deserving charity comes up a loser due to the arragance of BHO,...

EDMOND — The origin of the term “Useful Idiot,” hereafter referred to as UI, is somewhat vague. It’s been attributed to V. Lenin, a garbled translation, an editorialized description and others. The most common and modern use is to define and describe those, that through fear and/or ignorance, actively and militantly support an ideology contrary to the environment in which they exist. It generally defines those living in a free capitalist society extolling the virtues of a repressive socialist society. The supporters of Barack Obama fit the “UI” paradigm to a tee. Their ignorance was created, manipulated and compounded by...

It looks as though the USSC or for that matter any of our elected representatives are going to do anything to call into question Barrack Obama's foreign national status. So, it's up to us (American Citizens) to apply the pressure to get them to take notice. We can BOYCOTT any spending on luxury/non-essential items. This will get the governments attention. Pay your bills but don't spend your tax refund, don't spend your stimulus payment. Call in to local radio talk shows.......you know the drill. If it's good enough for Jesse Jackson, then it is certainly good enough for us in...

The highest justice official in the land will knowingly use Abraham Lincoln's personal bible to stand before the world and swear in a President who is entirely unqualified for the position... Has Chief Justice Roberts considered the full implications of the action he will take on January 20, 2009? At this moment in history, one man has the power to stop this monumental fraud and uphold the Constitution. That man is Chief Justice John Roberts. He can and should refuse to swear Obama into office until such time that he has delivered proof of his compliance with Article II Section...

I have been reading all over the net tonight and I don’t see the Birth Certificate issue dying anytime soon. As I sit here and write this I’m listening to my Smooth Jazz and typing away. Many sites across the net will not let this issue go even though the Supreme Court has been ignoring suit after suit after suit. On the Sean Hannity site there is a thread that will not die and more and more info is dug up by the day. Its my opinion its just a matter of time before the Main Stream Media will have...

Glenn Beck will start his new show on Fox News in only a few days. He wishes President Elect Obama success and his good will is commendable. With Obama as his first guest will he dare to ask him about the much disputed birth certificate or the question about his father’s Indonesian citizenship? Not likely! Neither the Dem’s nor the GOP is happy with the Obama plan to re-vitalize the economy by producing a new spending package that makes a king’s ransom look like a pittance. His concern for the economy is read as hopeful by his devotees and as...

08-570 BERG, PHILIP J. V. OBAMA, BARACK, ET AL. The motion of Bill Anderson for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied.

Chief Justice John Roberts has sent a full-throated challenge of Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility to conference: Lightfoot v. Bowen (SCOTUS docket page). I.O. interviewed Lightfoot lead attorney, Orly Taitz at 2:20pm CT, today, minutes after she learned of this move. Taitz believes, “This is Chief Justice Roberts telling the Congress… the other eight Justices, that there is a problem with this election.” The Lightfoot case has legal standing, due to litigant, Libertarian Gail Lightfoot’s vice presidential candidacy in California. It also address two major issues of legal merit: 1. Obama’s failure to provide legally evidentiary documentation of citizenship and American...

WASHINGTON – A conference is scheduled Friday at the U.S. Supreme Court during which justices will consider behind closed doors – again – taking up a case that could put to rest the questions about whether President-elect Barack Obama qualifies to occupy to Oval Office under the Constitution's requirement that he be a "natural born" citizen. Twice before the justices have heard the questions, and twice before they've decided to ignore them. The lingering questions continue to leave a cloud over the impending presidency of a man whose relatives have reported he was born in Kenya and who has decided,...

So I took the kids out to the mall to shop for Mom two days before Christmas. I want them to know that Christmas is not just about receiving but giving as well. Now let me ask a weird hypothetical. If I showed up at the Mall wearing only briefs and say my wife showed up in a minuscule bra and panties we'd likely be dragged from the premises and arrested. And rightly so, especially if you've seen me in briefs. But no matter what, it's bad, right? So why is it OK for some of these stores to have...

The Preacher vs. the President-Elect Pastor Wiley Drake thinks he still has a prayer of unseating Barack Obama—sorry, Barack Hussein Obama. First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park’s irrepressible Pastor Wiley Drake is not discouraged in light of the Dec. 8 announcement the U.S. Supreme Court will not hear a New Jersey man’s case that argued Barack Obama cannot be sworn in as president because his father was a British citizen. Alan Keyes, the American Independent Party’s 2008 presidential candidate, and his running mate, Drake, are plaintiffs in a separate lawsuit knocking around California courts that makes a similar claim...

INDIANAPOLIS -- Two Indiana men filed a lawsuit claiming that President-elect Barack Obama is not eligible to serve as president. The suit questions whether Obama meets the constitutional requirement that the president must be a "natural born citizen." Obama's birth certificate says he was born in Hawaii, but his father was not a U.S. citizen and some have claimed the document is a fake. The U.S. Supreme Court this month refused without comment to hear a challenge to Obama's citizenship. The Indianapolis Star reports the Indiana suit was filed in Marion Superior Court in Indianapolis by Steve Ankeny, New Castle,...

If not here and now, where will you draw the line? If the Natural Born citizen requirement that defines the requirement for President of the United States is to be ignored for this candidate, then it sets a precedent for all future usurpers as well. And the same Americans will have no problem with the reigns of the United States of America in the hands of the sons of Osama BIN LADEN, Saddam HUSSEIN, Kim Jong-il, Mahmoud AHMADINEHAD, Fidel or Raul CASTRO, Hugo CHAVEZ,, Robert MUGABE, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Hu Jintao, Omar Al-Bashir, Than Shwe, or Islam Karimov. That is...

Is there still hope? Legal minds needed. This order list was released by the United States Supreme Court on Monday, 12/8/2008. Near the top, in the category "ORDERS IN PENDING CASES" is this: 08A407 DONOFRIO, LEO C. V. WELLS, NJ SEC. OF STATE The application for stay addressed to Justice Thomas and referred to the Court is denied. But here's the thing. The application for stay is denied. But the case IS pending. The document seems to be separating out a certain number of cases as "Orders in Pending Cases." For example, right below the Donofrio case is this: 08M32...

One of the original legal challenges to President-elect Barack Obama's eligibility for office to reach the U.S. Supreme Court now has been scheduled for a conference, a meeting at which the justices discuss its merits and whether to step into the fray. Online schedules posted by the court show the case brought by attorney Philip J. Berg is set for a conference Jan. 9. The case is one among several that already have reached the U.S. Supreme Court and address the issue of Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that presidents be "natural born"...

12/18/08 - URGENT NOTICE – False rumors are circulating – Justice Kennedy denied our Application for an Injunction to Stay Electoral Vote Count by Congress on January 8, 2009. However, our Writ of Certiorari is still pending and is now scheduled for Conference before U.S. Supreme Court on January 9, 2009.

I'm at a loss. Is President Bush in the tank for Obama? Does he not realize that he, the commander in chief, swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?Why is he NOT spearheading the move to get to the bottom of Obama's Birth Certificate issue if he is NOT part of a conspiracy to destroy our society and make us all a part of his daddies "New World Order?" Please. Help me out here.Is President Bush really so vane and worried about his own legacy that he won't do what is right or will...

On Monday, the Supreme Court decided not to hear the Donofrio case concerning whether Barack Obama is a natural born citizen and therefore qualified to be President. Also, David Horowitz diagnosed those who claim Obama is not natural born as being afflicted with "Obama Derangement Syndrome." Horowitz told people to "shut up about the birth certificate." A bad day for those of us in tin-foil hats. Even Michelle Malkin is against us . Mr. Horowitz whizzes right by the issue of whether or not Obama is Constitutionally qualified. He simply says it doesn't matter. He asked, "What difference does it...

A Pennsylvania man has filed a petition to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, seeking the court to make the Pennsylvania Secretary of the commonwealth demand proof from President-elect Barack Obama that he is qualified as a natural born citizen of the United States. The petition, filed by James D. Schneller, seeks Mr. Obama's sworn statement, filed with his application for placement on the ballot, and an injunction preventing the certification of the vote and of the Pennsylvania electors ballot, by the secretary, including any certification to Pennsylvania's governor, and postponing of the scheduled meeting of the electors, which by law usually...

By refusing on Monday to hear a lawsuit challenging whether Barack Obama is indeed eligible under the Constitution to become the 44th president, the U.S. Supreme Court should have put to rest the fanciful rumors about the president-elect. Yet the justices' action will not end the fringe conspiracy-mongering. David Weigel reported in Slate that Obama's foes have mailed "information" packets to presidential electors in advance of their Dec. 15 vote; right-wing activist Bob Schultz, who has orchestrated the campaign, says electors who vote for Obama are committing "treason to the Constitution." May we offer some advice? Get a life. It...

Citizenhip issue was reported today on Baynews9. Can anyone post a copy of the report? The news channel is in the Tampa area and has wide coverage.

The U.S. Supreme Court could announce as early as today if it will get involved in the legal battle over the birthplace and citizenship of President Elect Barack Obama. Oh, you mean you thought that had been settled a long time ago? You must not get my email. "Why are you not reporting on the Supreme Court case to determine if Obama is a 'natural born' citizen?" said one last week.

Critics File Suit Claiming He’s Constitutionally Ineligible to Be President As President-elect Barack Obama, his family, staff and supporters prepare for his January move into the White House, a growing number of critics are voicing support for a campaign which is underway and, if successful, will prevent him from taking office. Should that happen, it would also dash the risen hopes of millions of people around the world who were energized by Obama’s candidacy and believe him able to bring about “change you can believe in.” For months now, “conservative” bloggers and commentators, along with some Democratic supporters of Senator...

Five weeks after the state of Hawaii vouched for the authenticity of President-elect Barack Obama's birth certificate, the controversy over allegations that Obama is not eligible to take office next month has reached the Supreme Court, which is expected to announce Monday whether it will consider the matter. The fight is unusual because it thrives outside the so-called mainstream media, far beyond the oak-paneled offices of $700-an-hour lawyers and a world away from the 535 individuals whose surnames are preceded by Representative or Senator. This is a different army at work, in an environment increasingly influenced by the Internet. "It's...

Friday, December 5 is when the Supreme Court will meet "in conference" regarding whether or not Barack Obama's birth certificate shows him to be a natural-born citizen of the United States. There are many who believe that he is not that. If the Supreme Court sides with fact, then truth will prevail. If not, then the Supreme Court will become an accomplice to devilment maximum, the latter no stranger to America's grassroots. If Obama is found to be other than a natural-born citizen, then all that he has done thus far is null and void. All that he appoints for...

As of this writing, December 6th, the Supreme Court has not yet announced whether or not it will take up the Donofrio case, or any other case concerning Obama’s constitutional eligibility for the office of President. Yet there is no more important issue before the court today and the clock is ticking. (snip) The Supreme Court of the United States of America has but one primary obligation to the American people, and that obligation is to use the power afforded it under Article III—Section I of the Constitution, to uphold, protect and preserve the U.S. Constitution, the Charters of Freedom,...

Hi Mike, I have read the decisions and you have handled this very appropriately. However, please remove the statement "or fax" to Justice Kennedy. Any faxes received by the US Supreme Court are thrown away, they will NOT accept anything via email and/or fax (except you can file an Amicus via email as long as you immediately mail in a hard copy), so please correct this. All communications must be done via mail. If you need any help, let us know. Respectfully, Lisa Assistant to Philip J. Berg LAW OFFICES OF PHILIP J. BERG Obamacrimes.com

Mr. President-elect, surely you know that there is a 'tempest in the teapot' brewing regarding the vault version of your birth certificate. And, only you, Sir, can bring closure to this issue. Mr. Obama, show your birth certificate for the sake of all the people who supported and voted for you... and, also to quiet (once, and for all) the skeptics, naysayers, and people who deem your Presidency 'illegitmate'.. With out a doubt, your history making ascension to the highest office in the land has brought, and continues to bring, unexplainable pride to millions of people of color, not just...
