Who Is Behind Quashing the Birth
Certificate Issue?
August 27, 2009
Back in October of 2008, when the subject of Obama’s Constitutional
eligibility to be president of the United States was just a blip on the
radar screen of public awareness, I wrote an
article
about how easy it was to find my then
-92-year-old mother’s birth certificate.
Frankly, I didn’t think finding my
mother’s birth certificate was possible,
given the fact that she had been born in a farmhouse in Storrs, CT,
along with nine of her 10 siblings, to parents who didn’t speak English.
Despairing that she would never be “qualified” to receive the care [in a
nursing home} that she desperately needed, I set about to find the
document, which I was sure had vanished in the unreliable record-keeping
of 1913. When I called the third number, I explained to the woman who
answered the phone that I was “asking something impossible.” I gave her
my mother’s first name and her father’s last name. Within four minutes,
she said, “Here it is!” When I expressed my amazement, the woman said:
“That’s nothing...we’re routinely asked to find birth certificates from
the 1800s, and we do that all the time!” Total time it took me to find
my mother’s 1913, born-in-a-farmhouse birth
certificate: 10 minutes!
Obama was born not in
1913, like my mother, but in 1961 – or perhaps in 1957, according to
his MySpace page,
which would make him 52, born supposedly in Hawaii before it
became a state in 1959. So it was quite curious that not one
cyber-sleuth could find an authentic, verifiable copy of his original
vault copy birth certificate. I’m not talking about the faux version
Obama posted on his website, which was deemed the real thing by
FactCheck.org, a “truth”-detecting site that is sponsored by the
Annenberg Foundation, the same foundation that hired Obama and his
terrorist pal William Ayers and gave them millions of dollars for a
research project in Chicago. In other words, the least credible source!
Even more significant is that no one in the
media thought Obama’s missing birth certificate worth even casual
mention. Their thinking seemed to be: If we’re not going to check on his
eligibility to be president, then why question why the other crucial
documents were – and continue to be – sealed? For instance: his baptism
certificate; elementary, high school, college and graduate school
transcripts; visa(s); selective service record; alleged multiple Social
Security numbers; Illinois attorney’s license; Illinois State Senate
records; law practice client list; Univ. of Chicago scholarly articles;
financial records while a community organizer in Chicago; and medical
records. I’m also curious about why Michelle Obama’s law license was
suspended in 1993 by the Illinois Supreme Court, but then again she
wasn’t running for president.
Instead, the media were frantically busy
trying to divert public attention away from those pesky things known as
credentials with gossip-driven tabloid reportage of Sarah Palin and Joe
the Plumber in order to avoid the bigger-than-Watergate potential
scandal of whether or not Obama was eligible – according to the U.S.
Constitution – to become President of the United States!
Now We Know Why
In
an explosive interview by Dr. Laurie Roth on her syndicated West Coast
radio show on August 7th, Douglas Hagmann – a respected journalist,
director of the
Northeast Intelligence Network,
and longtime private investigator, and Judi McLeod, a prolific
journalist and the managing editor of
Canada Free Press
– exposed the reason for the media blackout about the birth-certificate issue
was nothing less than organized Mafia-like dire threats to members of
the media issued not only from the heads of major TV and radio stations
but also from Federal Communication Commission officials!
According to Hagmann and McLeod, who
conducted a nine-month investigation and documented their findings
scrupulously, after Obama was elected but before he was inaugurated:
▪ A major TV talk-show
host reported that he was ordered not to raise the birth certificate
issue or risk losing his job.
▪ FCC officials threatened
to yank broadcasting licenses, break up conglomerates, and make the
enactment of the Fairness Doctrine “look mild” in comparison to other
consequences.
▪ In at least one
corporate TV headquarters, memos were circulated to all on-air employees
not to mention the birth certificate issue, as well as other specific
subjects like Obama’s Illinois lawyer’s license, his college records,
etc., under both implied and explicit threats.
During the interview,
Hagmann and McLeod – who never mentioned a particular network by name –
eluded to e-mails and other evidence in their possession, copies of
which, they said, were secreted in several locations. But they did
tantalize listeners with descriptions of meeting with “sources” outside
of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, a high-placed contact
looking nervously over his shoulder, references to directives and
warnings given by "those at the top," and the undisguised threat of one
executive to his underlings: "This is serious, and so will the
consequences be if anyone chooses not to be a team player with this."
This comes as no surprise to Fox watchers who
have noticed that the Stalinist-style censorship of the Obama regime is
already here. This couldn’t possibly be because of the healthy shares of
stock the Saudis bought in Fox, could it? If so, why would the Saudis
care so much about quashing potentially damning revelations about Obama?
Have they also bought shares in Obama?
Come to think of it, who exactly paid the tuition for Obama’s stint at
Harvard Law School? What role did Obama’s long-time friend, Khalid al-Mansour,
a key advisor to a Saudi billionaire, play? Writer Kenneth Timmerman
describes al-Mansour as “well known within the black community as a
lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an
international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of
Israel.”
This is not to omit that al-Mansour
was originally contacted to intervene with Harvard on Obama’s behalf by
Percy Sutton, former Manhattan Borough President and the lawyer of
Malcolm X. Ah...the tangled web of it all!
Then there is the question of what role was
played by Saudi Prince Alwaleed, the nephew of King Abdullah of Saudi
Arabia? You remember Prince Alwaleed, who offered then-Mayor Rudy
Giuliani $10 million after September 11 if he would only blame America
for the terrorist attacks of which 15 of 19 perpetrators were Saudi
Arabian – a “gift” the mayor promptly and with appropriate contempt
rejected!
In short, what influence have the Saudis
exerted on Fox to muzzle the issue of Obama’s birth certificate? I don’t
ask this about the network TV channels or cable channels like CNN and
MSNBC, which are still issuing daily hagiographies of Obama.
Tip of the Iceberg
Just who has been sending “the message”? And
how did it permeate not only the media, but also the once-respected U.S.
Congress and the courts of our land, including the once-incorruptible
Supreme Court? And what menacing forces made the once-courageous
conservative media abandon their mission to expose rank corruption and
collusion?
Two words: Money Talks!
If you’re a media mogul and you get word from
the FCC that your license will be pulled immediately and irrevocably if
you mention only three words – Obama’s birth certificate – poof! You
send that word to your employees and tell them that their mega-salaries
– in fact, their employment – are on the line.
If you’re a conservative talk-show host and
you get your boss’s directive not to dare to mention only three words –
Obama’s birth certificate – poof! Lips sealed; curiosity zero!
If the money thing doesn’t work, there’s
always the threat thing, i.e., “going public” about tax records, health
status, or family secrets. Or be audited by the IRS. Or be investigated
by any number of regulatory agencies.
And if the money thing and the threat thing
don’t work, how about being reminded of all those “accidents” and
“unfortunate incidents” – broken kneecaps, missing children, “falls”
from buildings, punctured tires – that resulted not in joblessness or
embarrassment but in death?
We know that’s how the
Mafia works. It’s also how political machines work. It’s also how
community organizers work. Wasn’t it Obama himself who in 2008 said
'‘If They Bring a Knife...We Bring a Gun'’
and in 2009 advised his followers to
"Get in Their Faces!"?
So, determined are Obama’s
handlers to keep the facts of his parentage and place of birth out of
the public domain that, as writer Chelsea Schilling has
scrupulously documented,
“the Federal Election Commission shows Obama's campaign has made regular
payments to Perkins Coie since Jan. 1, 2007 – the month he formed a
presidential exploratory committee and only weeks before he formally
announced his candidacy for president – [and up to the present] – has
paid Perkins Coie, a single law firm, $2.3 million...to crush
eligibility lawsuits.”
But paying lawyers to quash the dozens of
lawsuits that have challenged Obama’s eligibility still doesn’t answer
the question of who exactly is behind the blanket blackout of the media,
Congress and courts when it comes to Obama’s origins, parentage,
credentials, indeed identity.
We certainly can’t attribute this massive
power play to Obama himself. After all, while “owning” the Congress and
the media, he is failing miserably to gain support for his two signature
pieces of legislation, cap & tax and healthcare “reform.” No one that
ineffectual – or, as Jonah Goldberg says, “astoundingly incompetent” –
could possibly mute the media, castrate the Congress, and cow the
courts.
And we can’t attribute the blackout to
Obama’s union and community organizing buddies. While the former are
quite expert at threatening members to fall in line...or else, and the
latter have mastered standing outside polling places with glowering
facial expressions and menacing Billy clubs, neither has the heft to
have compelled the media to roll over, the Congress to say they “know
nothing,” or the courts to load one side of the scales of justice with
rocks and the other side with feathers.
A
Coup D’État?
Scholars and historians have documented
exhaustively the Left’s obsession with (1) the acquisition of power, and
(2) transforming America from a free-market, Constitution-respecting,
freedom-loving, God-embracing society into a Socialist-cum-Communist
“share the wealth” collective that echoes the beliefs and “values” of
their heroes Marx and Engels.
But it takes money to bring about the kind of
poverty both Socialism and Communism deliver to their masses. The kind
of money only a few at the top enjoy while they’d like the rest of us to
wait on food lines and appear before death panels of impersonal state
functionaries who decide if we’re worthy of antibiotics or surgery and,
if not, convenient “go-to-sleep” pills.
The kind of money that “talks” – that can buy
people off, finance revolutions, launder money, pay to rig voting
machines, manipulate allies into positions of power (czars, anyone?),
conveniently crash markets (as George Soros did in England in 1992, Asia
in 1997, and, I believe, the U.S. in September 2008), make people
disappear, make birth certificates and other vital records disappear and
then make sure that an entire media, Congress and court system is
terrified of “going there.”
We all know of the many multimillionaires and
billionaires – including Soros, the Saudi royal family, et al – who
contributed to Obama’s presidential campaign and continue to fund his
leftist agenda, all of them with an ideological, religious, or personal
stake in his remaining in power. And all of them part of a larger, more
ubiquitous conspiracy – yes, conspiracy! – to conceal Obama’s origins
and true parentage.
Among them, as JB Williams
has documented, are “international socialists working through
CPUSA,
SPUSA and
DSAUSA,
funded by literally hundreds of leftist front-groups operating as
special interest 527 organizations. Here’s a short list of the
BIGGEST leftist front groups:
America Coming Together;
Joint Victory Campaign 2004;
Media Fund;
Service Employees International Union;
American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees;
MoveOn.org;
New Democrat Network;
Sierra Club;
EMILY’s List;
AFL-CIO;
League of Conservation Voters.”
Further, Williams
asks: “Who spends an obscene $1-billion dollars to win a lousy
$400,000-per-year job, and why?”
Richard Poe, award-winning journalist and
New York Times-bestselling author, has written extensively on Soros
and makes a good case that the Hungarian-born Jew and self-admitted Nazi
collaborator is the primary brains and money behind Obama – and, I
believe, his healthcare travesty. When President Bush was in office, Poe
wrote that Soros talked openly of a “regime change” in the United
States.
“What about our country offends Soros so
deeply,” Poe asked, “that he would tell the BBC – during a time of war –
that he means to use all of his power to `puncture the bubble of
American supremacy’? Poe explained that Soros’s Open Society Foundation,
founded in 1984, “has spent millions promoting a radical agenda that
includes abortion, feminism, gun control, abolition of capital
punishment, voting rights for felons, drug legalization, euthanasia and
gay marriage rights...the Soros cult preaches secularism, the godless
faith of a world without nations, families, loyalty or tradition, a
world in which the very words `mother,’ `father,’ `husband,’ `wife,’
`son’ and `daughter’ will be bleached of meaning forever.”
Soros, Poe continued, “is one of the world’s
leading promoters of euthanasia, or `mercy killing.’ Not only does he
advocate `physician-assisted suicide’ for patients who choose death
voluntarily, he also lobbies for the right of family members or
court-appointed guardians to authorize the killing of patients whose
wishes are not known.” Sounds a lot like the Death Panels Sarah Palin
warned about, doesn’t it? Soros also founded the Project on Death in
America [which] promotes suicide and euthanasia and urges doctors to
warehouse terminally ill patients in hospices and give them `palliative’
care ...rather than wasting time, energy and money actually trying to
cure them.”
Of course, all of these
beliefs are eerily echoed in Obama’s healthcare legislation, almost as
if Soros had dictated the terms. Maybe he did! Maybe that was the price
he exacted for financing a large part of Obama’s presidential campaign
and facilitating the cover-up of Obama’s birth certificate and other
documents. And maybe that’s why Obama is still paying Soros back by
recently announcing that he will invest $2 billion (or more)
in drilling for
oil off the shores of Brazil, where none other than George Soros owns
$5.8 million of the Brazilian oil company’s U.S.-traded preferred shares
of stock!
The Usual Suspects
While Soros may top the list of conspirators who have
been trying to topple big bad capitalist America for decades, others
figure prominently as well, including but not limited to:
Noam Chomsky,
Louis Farrakhan,,Jane
Fonda,
Tom Hayden,
Jesse Jackson,
Michael Moore,
Cornel West,
Ted Turner, former National
Security Advisor to Pres. Jimmy Carter
Zbigniew Brzezinski, The
Rockefeller family, The Carnegie family, and, I might add, Fidel Castro
and the cozy cabal of America-loathing Marxist revolutionaries he met
with at the Theresa Hotel in Harlem.
Then
there are: The
Congressional Progressive Caucus
(their members here)
aka the Democratic Socialists of America,
formed by partners from the Communist Party USA and Socialist Party USA
(Founder: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VA); The
Congressional Black Caucus
(their members here),
originally established and controlled by the Communist Party USA
(Founder: Cong. John Conyers (D-VT), and now controlled by ACORN and The
Democratic Socialists of America; The ACLU, founded in 1917 by Communist
Roger Baldwin; The Southern Poverty Law Center – a mini ACLU; The FORD
Foundation; The Annenberg Foundation; The NAACP; The Council on Foreign
Relations; The Trilateral Commission; numerous labor unions, and of
course the mega-rich sheiks of Araby.
While all of the above and
many others have worked assiduously to dismantle America, there are
probably only a relative handful of aiders and abettors who ushered the
modern-day Trojan Horse Barack Obama into America’s body politic and
were sophisticated and connected and rich and arch enough to have
facilitated his path to the U.S. Senate, sealed all of his records both
home and abroad, assembled the massive organization for his run for the
presidency, and delivered in only seven months the most radical leftwing
– actually more Communist than Socialist – agenda in the history of the
United States.
Who’s Not Caving on The BC Issue?
McLeod and Hagmann have
come very close to explaining a major piece of the conspiracy puzzle,
specifically how some in the media were either bribed or threatened into
silence vis-à-vis Obama’s birth certificate. But the American people
have a peculiar resistance to and revulsion for these thuggish tactics.
In fact, the birth certificate issue has gained momentum. Why is it not
going away but instead gathering steam?
1) The huge amount of money Obama has spent on this cover-up is, to most
Americans, fishy.
2) Obama’s serial apologies for America as he travels the world have
offended Americans and convinced them that no genuine American could or
would ever behave in such a way.
3) Last month, when Army Reserve Major Stefan Frederick Cook sued Obama
claiming he was not legally qualified to be President and
Commander-in-Chief and therefore was unqualified to give him orders to
deploy to Afghanistan, the government rescinded his orders, thereby
negating the “standing” Cook no doubt would have had to sue. District
Judge Richard Lazzara of Tampa denied Cook’s motions as “frivolous and
wholly without merit" and then – guess what? – sealed the records! This
should have disqualified the judge. In fact, it raised the eyebrows of
millions of Americans.
4) To the public, rescinding Cook’s orders was a de facto admission that
Obama is not a natural-born American citizen, and it gives rise to the
possibility that untold numbers of military enlistees, in the U.S. and
around the world, will follow suit. According to one source, as many as
100 lawyers are preparing to file such litigation and even class-action
suits are being considered.
As Obama’s poll numbers
continue to plunge, more and more people are waking up to his unique
lack of qualifications and inability to lead the greatest nation in the
world. As Kyle-Ann Shiver
has written,
“It's
as though [in 2008] 59 million Americans joined hands and shouted at the
top of their little lungs, `Yes, We Can March off This Cliff.’"
Writer
James Lewis asks:
“How do we fight Obama and his psychopathic lust for power?”
...and answers:
“You fight evil by exposing it.”“
Indeed, the American electorate has never been so energized, with
millions upon millions of ordinary citizens – many of them seniors with
vested interests in avoiding Obama’s death panels – attending Tea
Parties, Town Hall meetings, and writing and calling their
representatives in massive numbers. In addition, people are now speaking
openly about the man without a birth certificate. Who is this guy? What
is he hiding? Why are media people studiously avoiding this issue? And
why are those who “dare” raise it – like Lou Dobbs at CNN – being
targeted by far-left groups, many of them funded by George Soros?
Yet in
spite of their efforts to conceal the truth about Obama’s birth place
and parentage, increasing numbers of articles, radio hosts and their
callers and regular Americans have lost their amazingly forbearing
patience and are now asking and will continue to ask until the question
is answered:
Where’s
the birth certificate?
