Oath Keepers Guardians of the Republic
"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army" - Gen. George Washington, to his troops before the battle of Long Island
The time is now near at hand. The FRAUD who was elected by the mass media along with the other thugs in congress are slowly, methodically, purposefully, pillaging our freedoms and destroying our country. They know by stealth legislation and illegal executive orders our liberty as free Americans can be insidiously taken away. It is being done in various ways. Our attention is being diverted from the real TRAITORS in congress. Congress and obama are traitors. ANY MEMBER of congress that votes or supports unconstitutional legislation is a TRAITOR!

Oath Keepers Guardians of the Republic
Such a time is near at hand again. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this Army - and this Marine Corps, This Air Force, This Navy and the National Guard units of these sovereign states.
Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, reserves, National Guard, peace officers, and veterans who swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic … and meant it.
Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and that oath will be kept. We won’t “just follow orders."
Below is our declaration of orders we will NOT obey because we will consider them unconstitutional (and thus unlawful) and immoral violations of the natural rights of the people. Such orders would be acts of war against the American people by their own government, and thus acts of treason. We will not make war against our own people. We will not commit treason. We will defend the Republic.
Declaration of Orders We Will NOT Obey
Recognizing that we each swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and affirming that we are guardians of the Republic, of the principles in our Declaration of Independence, and of the rights of our people, we affirm and declare the following:
1. We will NOT obey any order to disarm the American people.
The attempt to disarm the people on April 19, 1775 was the spark of open conflict in the American Revolution. That vile attempt was an act of war, and the American people fought back in justified, righteous self-defense of their natural rights. Any such order today would also be an act of war against the American people, and thus an act of treason. We will not make war on our own people, and we will not commit treason by obeying any such treasonous order.
Nor will we assist, or support any such attempt to disarm the people by other government entities, either state or federal.
In addition, we affirm that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to preserve the military power of the people so that they will, in the last resort, have effective final recourse to arms and to the God of Hosts in the face of tyranny. Accordingly, we oppose any and all further infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. In particular we oppose a renewal of the misnamed “assault-weapons” ban or the enactment of H.R. 45 (which would register and track gun owners like convicted pedophiles).
2. We will NOT obey any order to conduct warrantless searches of the American people, their homes, vehicles, papers, or effects - such as warrantless house-to house searches for weapons or persons.
One of the causes of the American Revolution was the use of warrantless searches known as “writs of assistance” and the first fiery embers of American resistance were born in opposition to those infamous writs. The Founders considered all warrantless searches to be unreasonable and egregious. It was to prevent a repeat of such violations of the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects that the Fourth Amendment was written.
We expect that warrantless searches of homes and vehicles, under some pretext, will be the means used to attempt to disarm the people.
3. We will NOT obey any order to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to trial by military tribunal.
One of the causes of the American Revolution was the denial of the right to jury trial, the use of admiralty courts (military tribunals) instead, and the application of the laws of war to the colonists. After that experience, and being well aware of the infamous Star Chamber in English history, the Founders ensured that the international laws of war would apply only to foreign enemies, not to the American people. Thus, the Article III Treason Clause establishes the only constitutional form of trial for an American, not serving in the military, who is accused of making war on his own nation. Such a trial for treason must be before a civilian jury, not a tribunal.
The international laws of war do not trump our Bill of Rights. We reject as illegitimate any such claimed power, as did the Supreme Court in Ex Parte Milligan (1865). Any attempt to apply the laws of war to American civilians, under any pretext, such as against domestic “militia” groups the government brands “domestic terrorists,” is an act of war and an act of treason.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state, or to enter with force into a state, without the express consent and invitation of that state’s legislature and governor.
One of the causes of the American Revolution was the attempt “to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power” by disbanding the Massachusetts legislature and appointing General Gage as “military governor.” The attempt to disarm the people of Massachusetts during that martial law sparked our Revolution. Accordingly, the power to impose martial law – the absolute rule over the people by a military officer with his will alone being law – is nowhere enumerated in our Constitution.
Further, it is the militia of a state and of the several states that the Constitution contemplates being used in any context, during any emergency within a state, not the standing army.
The imposition of martial law by the national government over a state and its people, treating them as an occupied enemy nation, is an act of war. Such an attempted suspension of the Constitution and Bill of Rights voids the compact with the states and with the people.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty and declares the national government to be in violation of the compact by which that state entered the Union.
In response to the obscene growth of federal power and to the absurdly totalitarian claimed powers of the Executive, upwards of 20 states are considering, have considered, or have passed courageous resolutions affirming states rights and sovereignty.
Those resolutions follow in the honored and revered footsteps of Jefferson and Madison in their Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, and likewise seek to enforce the Constitution by affirming the very same principles of our Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights that we Oath Keepers recognize and affirm.
Chief among those principles is that ours is a dual sovereignty system, with the people of each state retaining all powers not granted to the national government they created, and thus the people of each state reserved to themselves the right to judge when the national government they created has voided the compact between the states by asserting powers never granted.
Upon the declaration by a state that such a breach has occurred, we will not obey orders to force that state to submit to the national government.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
One of the causes of the American Revolution was the blockade of Boston, and the occupying of that city by the British military, under martial law. Once hostilities began, the people of Boston were tricked into turning in their arms in exchange for safe passage, but were then forbidden to leave. That confinement of the residents of an entire city was an act of war.
Such tactics were repeated by the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto, and by the Imperial Japanese in Nanking, turning entire cities into death camps. Any such order to disarm and confine the people of an American city will be an act of war and thus an act of treason.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
Mass, forced internment into concentration camps was a hallmark of every fascist and communist dictatorship in the 20th Century. Such internment was unfortunately even used against American citizens of Japanese descent during World War II. Whenever a government interns its own people, it treats them like an occupied enemy population. Oppressive governments often use the internment of women and children to break the will of the men fighting for their liberty – as was done to the Boars, to the Jewish resisters in the Warsaw Ghetto, to the Cossacks, and to the Chechens, for example.
Such a vile order to forcibly intern Americans without charges or trial would be an act of war against the American people, and thus an act of treason, regardless of the pretext used. We will not commit treason, nor will we facilitate or support it.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control” during any emergency, or under any other pretext. We will consider such use of foreign troops against our people to be an invasion and an act of war.
During the American Revolution, the British government enlisted the aid of Hessian mercenaries in an attempt to subjugate the rebellious American people. Throughout history, repressive regimes have enlisted the aid of foreign troops and mercenaries who have no bonds with the people.
Accordingly, as the militia of the several states are the only military force contemplated by the Constitution, in Article I, Section 8, for domestic keeping of the peace, and as the use of even our own standing army for such purposes is without such constitutional support, the use of foreign troops and mercenaries against the people is wildly unconstitutional, egregious, and an act of war.
We will oppose such troops as enemies of the people and we will treat all who request, invite, and aid those foreign troops as the traitors they are.
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies, under any emergency pretext whatsoever.
One of the causes of the American Revolution was the seizure and forfeiture of American ships, goods, and supplies, along with the seizure of American timber for the Royal Navy, all in violation of the people’s natural right to their property and to the fruits of their labor. The final spark of the Revolution was the attempt by the government to seize powder and cannon stores at Concord.
Deprivation of food has long been a weapon of war and oppression, with millions intentionally starved to death by fascist and communist governments in the 20th Century alone.
Accordingly, we will not obey or facilitate orders to confiscate food and other essential supplies from the people, and we will consider all those who issue or carry out such orders to be the enemies of the people.
10. We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
There would have been no American Revolution without fiery speakers and writers such as James Otis, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and Sam Adams “setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” Tyrants know that the pen of a man such as Thomas Paine can cause them more damage than entire armies, and thus they always seek to suppress the natural rights of speech, association, and assembly. Without freedom of speech, the people will have no recourse but to arms. Without freedom of speech and conscience, there is no freedom.
Therefore, we will not obey or support any orders to suppress or violate the right of the people to speak, associate, worship, assemble, communicate, or petition government for the redress of grievances.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually affirm our oath and pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. Oath Keepers
Oath Keepers is a non partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, and peace officers who will fulfill our oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.
Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and not to any political party. In the long-standing tradition of the U.S. military, we are apolitical. We don’t care if unlawful orders come from a Democrat or a Republican, or if the violation is bi-partisan. We will not obey unconstitutional (and thus unlawful) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law. We won’t “just follow orders." Our motto: “Not on Our Watch!” or to put it even more succinctly, in the words of , "NUTS!"
There is at this time a debate within the ranks of the military regarding their oath. Some mistakenly believe they must follow any order the President issues. But many others do understand that their loyalty is to the Constitution and to the people, and understand what that means.
The mission of Oath Keepers is to vastly increase their numbers.
We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops.
Help us win it.

Open Letter To United States Attorney Jeffrey Taylor
Open Letter To United States Attorney Jeffrey Taylor
Open Letter To United States Attorney Jeffrey Taylor from Leo C. Donofrio, Esq
March 15, 2009
United States Attorney Jeffrey Taylor
United States Attorney’s Office
555 4th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20530
Dear Mr. Taylor,
I am writing to make you aware of a brewing danger to members of our active military who have been influenced to join law suits challenging the eligibility of President Barack Obama as Commander In Chief. I hope you will deem it proper to take appropriate action to protect our military and the nation from further damage.
Recently, 1st Lt. Scott R. Easterling, currently serving in Iraq, agreed to be a plaintiff in a pending law suit being brought on behalf of several active and retired military persons by California attorney, Orly Taitz. Easterling agreed to sign a consent form for participation in this action. Beside asking for a publicity photograph and donations, the consent form requests a signature below the following language:
Attn. Orly Taitz, Esq.
26302 La Paz, Ste. 211
Mission Viejo, CA 92691
I agree to be a plaintiff in the legal action to be filed by Orly Taitz, Esq. in a PETITION FOR A DECLARATORY JUDGEMENT whether Barry Soetoro, citizen of Indonesia and possibly still citizen of Kenya, aka BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT of the U.S or TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the U.S. ARMED FORCES, in that I am or was a sworn member of the U.S. military (subject to recall) and I could conceivably be given unlawful orders by a Constitutionally unqualified Commander In Chief, and by following such orders I can be subject to court martial. I further understand that additional arguments may be inserted into this lawsuit at the above-mentioned attorneys deem necessary. Please attach a copy of your military ID card.
Signature: ______________________
As Attorney Orly Taitz is performing this service for her country Pro Bono, any amount that you can contribute will be most helpful. Please, attach your picture in the uniform, a short bio and a letter to fellow citizens and elected officials
[See attached consent form copied directly from the official Orly Taitz web site at http://defendourfreedoms.org/ATTENTIONALLMILITARYPERSONNEL.htm ]
On February 23, 2009, this story broke via World Net Daily with the following headline:
Soldier doubts eligibility, defies president’s orders ‘As an officer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this’
The story included the following text:
“As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of president of the United States,” wrote Scott Easterling in a “to-whom-it-may-concern” letter. Obama “has absolutely refused to provide to the American public his original birth certificate, as well as other documents which may prove or disprove his eligibility,” Easterling wrote. “In fact, he has fought every attempt made by concerned citizens in their effort to force him to do so.”
Taitz told WND she had advised Easterling to obtain legal counsel before making any statements regarding the commander-in-chief, but he insisted on moving forward. His contention is that as an active member of the U.S. military, he is required to follow orders from a sitting president, and he needs – on pain of court-martial – to know that Obama is eligible.
Taitz said other legal cases questioning Obama’s eligibility filed by members of the military mostly have included retired officers, and courts several times have ruled they don’t have standing to issue their challenge.
Easterling, however, is subject to enemy fire and certainly would have a reason to need to know the legitimacy of his orders, she argued.
“Until Mr. Obama releases a ‘vault copy’ of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an impostor,” his statement said.
Later in the article Easterling requests that other military get involved:
“I implore all service-members and citizens to contact their senators and representatives and demand that they require Mr. Obama prove his eligibility. Our Constitution and our great nation must not be allowed to be disgraced,” he wrote.
Taitz said Easterling is among the plaintiffs she is assembling for a new legal action over Obama’s eligibility. Others include a list of state lawmakers who also would be required in their official position to follow orders of the president.
“My conviction is such that I am compelled to join Dr. Orly Taitz’s lawsuit, as a plaintiff, against Mr. Obama. As a citizen, it pains me to do this, but as an officer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this action,” he said.
Easterling was “saluted” in a forum on Taitz’ website.
“Lt. Easterling, As a retired US Army SFC, I salute you sir as a true American patriot and hero! Thank you for your unselfish service to our country. It is rare to find someone today with such moral courage to do the right thing regardless of repercussions,” said one contributor.
The false headline was also republished to the Drudge Report that same day.
After reading the article, it appeared that, despite the sensational headline, Easterling had not defied any Presidential order. I complained in my blog to World Net Daily and to Orly Taitz about the punitive danger they had put this soldier in. Of course, the greater danger existed that other military might believe the headline and be influenced to defy orders as well.
By the next morning, the headline had been altered to read:
Soldier questions eligibility, doubts president’s authority ‘As an officer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this’
( http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=89837 )
Neither World Net Daily nor Orly Taitz have ever officially addressed, or apologized for, the false headline published to millions of readers via bold faced caption at the Drudge Report which lasted for approximately twenty-four hours.
Yesterday, I was informed that the latest edition of The Globe Newspaper contains the following headline on the front page next to a picture of Officer Easterling holding a rifle:
“OBAMA MUTINY!
G.I. in Iraq rejects prez as Commander - In - Chief
Lawyer:Hundreds of troops set to follow”
http://www.globemagazine.com
The story includes gatefold coverage including the various statements made by Officer Easterling. I was also quoted in the article to the effect that these statements and the law suit they represent are wrong, dangerous and unnecessary.
I have received numerous letters from active military - and/or the parents of soldiers - expressing gratitude for making this issue public and explaining the laws involved
The Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 88, makes it an offense - punishable by up to one year in prison - to use “contemptuous language” against the President. Other UCMJ provisions, along with various federal statutes, provide a plethora of charges under which persons may be convicted of corrupting the morale of the military and encouraging sedition or insubordination. It’s alarming to consider our military, who take their Constitutional oath seriously, could suffer such disease in the relationship of command. This is exactly what will happen as more join the Taitz law suit or others like it and similar news reports are released.
The viral effect this publicity will have has the potential to destroy the chain of command if allowed to fester without resolve. And this brings me to why I’m writing to you, US Attorney Taylor.
I feel a sense of responsibility since an application for emergency stay I brought against the the New Jersey Secretary of State, Donofrio v. Wells, SCOTUS Docket # 08A407 - with regard to her failure to verify the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama - was the first eligibility suit that went all the way to full conference of the United States Supreme Court after having been referred to the full court by the Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas.
I also feel responsible since back in late January of this year, I published a blog concerning “standing” to challenge Presidential eligibility wherein I suggested active military might hypothetically have standing as citizens but without breaking orders as soldiers. Immediately after publishing this hypothetical discussion, I received messages from military personnel requesting I remove the blog. They forwarded various statutory authority such as applicable provisions of the UCMJ which convinced me that our active military should not be involved in the eligibility issue at all. I subsequently removed the blog post and have continued to strongly discourage active military participation in any eligibility law suits. Recently, I have received messages from various active military asking my opinion, and I have consistently told them to refrain from joining any of these law suits.
I am sure you are aware of the numerous law suits which challenged President Obama as to whether he was a natural born citizen of the United States. Other than my case, a few of those law suits also made it to conference before all nine justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Donofrio v Wells was featured on MSNBC, ABC, CNN, AP, The Washington Times and various other main stream media. It was the publicity of this case and the others which grabbed the attention of soldiers like Officer Easterling since the issues were never decided on the merits as each case was rejected on grounds of standing, or, as to SCOTUS, simply denied full review with no comment.
As long as the issues are left open to wreak havoc, there is no way to foresee or contain the myriad of damage now pending before the nation. The Officer Easterling saga is certainly alarming considering Barack Obama has only held the office of President for less than two months.
The core legal issue of my case against the New Jersey Secretary of State concerned the fact that President Obama’s father was a native of Kenya - but a citizen of Great Britain via the British Nationality Act of 1948 - at the time of President Obama’s birth. Obama Sr. never became - or applied to be - a US citizen. President Obama, at his web site “Fightthesmears.com” admits his birth status was “governed” by the British Nationality Act of 1948.
The legal question I asked the court to decide was whether a person governed by the laws of Great Britain at the time of their birth could be considered a natural “born” citizen of the United States as required by Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of our Constitution. The question remains unanswered in any United States court.
Most of the other cases which worked their way through various state and federal courts concerned whether Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii. At his web site, Obama posted a photocopy of a Certification of Live Birth from Hawaii and had it verified by a private website called “factcheck.org”. This was his response to all parties requesting proof he was actually born in Hawaii. The audacity of this stunt generated a rush of litigation to have Obama’s credentials verified. Of course, while there is no Constitutional requirement for a birth certificate to be tendered, ordinary people could not understand why Obama was fighting so hard to prevent anyone from seeing his genuine documents apparently on file in Hawaii. It was this attitude of defiance which stimulated citizens across the nation - who are required to present an original birth certificate to any number of Government agencies - to institute litigation challenging Obama’s eligibility.
I do not write to you today to convince you that President Obama is not eligible to the office of President.
I write to convince you that having his title to office cleared of all doubt is in the best interest of the nation at large and specifically the military chain of command. Since you are the main law enforcement officer charged with enforcing the District of Columbia Code, and since you are listed in 16-3502 as one of only two people who may institute a proceeding - upon their own motion - in quo warranto to investigate any United States public office holder’s qualifications if the office concerned is within the District of Columbia. I respectfully request that you bring such an action before the District Court for the District of Columbia as soon as possible.
The Code provides - at 16-3544 - for a jury trial. I respectfully submit that this is the best possible way to settle the fact issue as to whether Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. As to the legal issue of whether he is a natural born citizen, even if born in Hawaii, the Judicial branch has been charged with the power to interpret exactly what those words mean.
I have done extensive research on the quo warranto statute and all possible Constitutional issues which may arise from its use as to a sitting President. The Congressional enactment of the DC Code’s quo warranto statute reflects the authority of Congress as the only branch which may remove the President. I have published the research at my blog.
The URL for my blog is:
http:naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com . (See Quo Warranto Legal Brief, parts 1-3).
The most important aspect of this research, as it may affect your decision to act, comes from the seminal US Supreme Court decision that interpreted the District of Columbia quo warranto statute, Newman v. United States ex Rel. Frizzell, 238 U.S. 537 at 546 (1915) wherein the court stated:
“The District Code… permits those proceedings to be instituted by the Attorney General of the United States and by the attorney for the District of Columbia. By virtue of their position, they, at their discretion and acting under the sense of official responsibility, can institute such proceedings in any case they deem proper.”
Please sir, nothing could be more proper for the benefit of the nation than having this issue settled. Under 16 - 3502, only the “United States attorney” and/or the “US Attorney General” have the authority, without requesting leave of the court, to institute this action. Under the holding in Newman, it requires no belief on your part that President Obama is actually ineligible. The US Supreme Court holding in Newman only requires that you “deem it proper” out of a “sense of official responsibility”.
In order to put an end to the bottomless pit of pending litigation, whether in direct attacks by quo warranto, or via collateral attacks - based on eligibility of office challenges - as described and allowed by the DC Court of Appeals decision in Andrade v. Lauer, 729 F.2d 1475, 234 U.S.App.D.C. 384 (1984), quo warranto appears both proper and necessary.
The nation and the military cannot have the chain of command subject to the rot of insubordination by multiple plaintiffs on a case by case basis each challenging specific orders as they arise. The floodgate of litigation will flow too heavily for certain containment.
However, the issue could be settled in one single quo warranto proceeding brought in the proper court by the proper officials. I strongly urge you and Attorney General Holder to act. I am forwarding to Attorney General Holder this same letter.
TWO IMPORTANT ISSUES
I offer the following two points regarding the natural born citizen legal issue to prove that there is convincing evidence, by way of authority and precedent, for citizens to be concerned that the Constitution has been circumvented by Obama’s holding office regardless of whether he was born in the United States. I do not expect to sway you to act on the basis of these points. I simply hope that you will see that, despite media attempts to paint all questions as to Obama’s eligibility as conspiracy theories, the core issue is not a conspiracy theory. It is a question of legal interpretation never decided by any court of law.
Prior to Obama’s taking office, no post grandfather clause President or Vice President had ever openly held office after having been born subject to the jurisdiction of another nation’s laws. The following two points are an introduction to the great body of authority which touches the issue, but they are by no means exhaustive.
POINT I: Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the Fourteenth Amendment, confirmed the understanding and construction the framers used in regards to the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” while speaking on civil rights of citizens in the House of Representatives on March 9, 1866:
[I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen…[6]
The 14th Amendment was interpreted by Justice Horace Gray for the holding of the US Supreme Court in Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94, 101-102(1884), as follows:
“The persons declared to be citizens are “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” The evident meaning of these last words is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance. And the words relate to the time of birth in the one case, as they do to the time of naturalization in the other…Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States…although in a geographical sense born in the United States, are no more “born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” within the meaning of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, than the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government…” (Emphasis added.)
Fourteen years later, Justice Horace Gray did a complete about face on this issue in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898) although the holding in the Elk case was not reversed. Regardless, the direct holding in Wong Kim Ark was restricted to the children of foreign parents permanently domiciled in the United States. Barack Obama Sr. was never permanently domiciled in the United States. I urge you to read both decisions in light of the following recent historical discovery.
POINT II: The recent historical revelation that Chester Arthur was a usurper to the office of President.
Chester Arthur faced an identical scandal as Barack Obama when Arthur ran for Vice President. It was alleged he had been born in Canada or Ireland and that he was a British subject at birth and therefore wasn’t eligible to be President. Recently, my research team discovered, via the official New York State naturalization record of Chester Arthur’s father - available at the Library of Congress - that his father did not become a naturalized citizen until 14 years after Chester Arthur was born. So, at the time of his birth, Chester Arthur was a British subject due to his father’s heritage and failure to be naturalized before Chester Arthur was born even though history has proved Chester Arthur was actually born in Vermont.
Our research also proved that Chester Arthur actively concealed this fact by blatantly lying about his parental heritage in various interviews with the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper at the time he was running for VP. (See articles at my blog.)
This is an important revelation because it establishes that Barack Obama is the first President in our national history who - at the time of his birth - was openly subject to and governed by the laws of another nation. The issue which needs to be heard in court is whether such a person’s citizenship will be considered “natural born” for the rest of our nation’s history.
Allowing this issue to avoid judicial interpretation will forever raise questions to President Obama’s title to office, and it will set a precedent that two generations of citizenship (and loyalty) are no longer required before one can become President and Commander in Chief.
It’s important to note that Justice Horace Gray was appointed by Chester Arthur and Gray’s mysterious and complete about face from Elk to Wong Kim Ark must be re-examined in the light of revelations concerning Chester Arthur’s secret since Wong Kim Ark appears to sanitize, for history, the illegitimacy of Chester Arthur as President, the man who appointed Justice Horace Gray to the United States Supreme Court.
Regardless, I must reiterate that I am not writing to convince you to take a position as to whether President Obama is actually eligible for the office of President. I am writing to beg that you bring an action in quo warranto so that the issue will be resolved once and for all which must be in the best interest of the nation.

On February 23, 2009, this story broke via World Net Daily with the following headline:
Soldier doubts eligibility, defies president’s orders ‘As an officer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this’
The story included the following text:
“As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of president of the United States,” wrote Scott Easterling in a “to-whom-it-may-concern” letter. Obama “has absolutely refused to provide to the American public his original birth certificate, as well as other documents which may prove or disprove his eligibility,” Easterling wrote. “In fact, he has fought every attempt made by concerned citizens in their effort to force him to do so.”
Taitz told WND she had advised Easterling to obtain legal counsel before making any statements regarding the commander-in-chief, but he insisted on moving forward. His contention is that as an active member of the U.S. military, he is required to follow orders from a sitting president, and he needs – on pain of court-martial – to know that Obama is eligible.
Taitz said other legal cases questioning Obama’s eligibility filed by members of the military mostly have included retired officers, and courts several times have ruled they don’t have standing to issue their challenge.
Easterling, however, is subject to enemy fire and certainly would have a reason to need to know the legitimacy of his orders, she argued.
“Until Mr. Obama releases a ‘vault copy’ of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an impostor,” his statement said.
Later in the article Easterling requests that other military get involved:
“I implore all service-members and citizens to contact their senators and representatives and demand that they require Mr. Obama prove his eligibility. Our Constitution and our great nation must not be allowed to be disgraced,” he wrote.
Taitz said Easterling is among the plaintiffs she is assembling for a new legal action over Obama’s eligibility. Others include a list of state lawmakers who also would be required in their official position to follow orders of the president.
“My conviction is such that I am compelled to join Dr. Orly Taitz’s lawsuit, as a plaintiff, against Mr. Obama. As a citizen, it pains me to do this, but as an officer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this action,” he said.
Easterling was “saluted” in a forum on Taitz’ website.
“Lt. Easterling, As a retired US Army SFC, I salute you sir as a true American patriot and hero! Thank you for your unselfish service to our country. It is rare to find someone today with such moral courage to do the right thing regardless of repercussions,” said one contributor.
The false headline was also republished to the Drudge Report that same day.
After reading the article, it appeared that, despite the sensational headline, Easterling had not defied any Presidential order. I complained in my blog to World Net Daily and to Orly Taitz about the punitive danger they had put this soldier in. Of course, the greater danger existed that other military might believe the headline and be influenced to defy orders as well.
By the next morning, the headline had been altered to read:
Soldier questions eligibility, doubts president’s authority ‘As an officer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this’
( http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=89837 )
Neither World Net Daily nor Orly Taitz have ever officially addressed, or apologized for, the false headline published to millions of readers via bold faced caption at the Drudge Report which lasted for approximately twenty-four hours.
Yesterday, I was informed that the latest edition of The Globe Newspaper contains the following headline on the front page next to a picture of Officer Easterling holding a rifle:
“OBAMA MUTINY!
G.I. in Iraq rejects prez as Commander - In - Chief
Lawyer:Hundreds of troops set to follow”
http://www.globemagazine.com
The story includes gatefold coverage including the various statements made by Officer Easterling. I was also quoted in the article to the effect that these statements and the law suit they represent are wrong, dangerous and unnecessary.
I have received numerous letters from active military - and/or the parents of soldiers - expressing gratitude for making this issue public and explaining the laws involved
The Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 88, makes it an offense - punishable by up to one year in prison - to use “contemptuous language” against the President. Other UCMJ provisions, along with various federal statutes, provide a plethora of charges under which persons may be convicted of corrupting the morale of the military and encouraging sedition or insubordination. It’s alarming to consider our military, who take their Constitutional oath seriously, could suffer such disease in the relationship of command. This is exactly what will happen as more join the Taitz law suit or others like it and similar news reports are released.
The viral effect this publicity will have has the potential to destroy the chain of command if allowed to fester without resolve. And this brings me to why I’m writing to you, US Attorney Taylor.
I feel a sense of responsibility since an application for emergency stay I brought against the the New Jersey Secretary of State, Donofrio v. Wells, SCOTUS Docket # 08A407 - with regard to her failure to verify the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama - was the first eligibility suit that went all the way to full conference of the United States Supreme Court after having been referred to the full court by the Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas.
I also feel responsible since back in late January of this year, I published a blog concerning “standing” to challenge Presidential eligibility wherein I suggested active military might hypothetically have standing as citizens but without breaking orders as soldiers. Immediately after publishing this hypothetical discussion, I received messages from military personnel requesting I remove the blog. They forwarded various statutory authority such as applicable provisions of the UCMJ which convinced me that our active military should not be involved in the eligibility issue at all. I subsequently removed the blog post and have continued to strongly discourage active military participation in any eligibility law suits. Recently, I have received messages from various active military asking my opinion, and I have consistently told them to refrain from joining any of these law suits.
I am sure you are aware of the numerous law suits which challenged President Obama as to whether he was a natural born citizen of the United States. Other than my case, a few of those law suits also made it to conference before all nine justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Donofrio v Wells was featured on MSNBC, ABC, CNN, AP, The Washington Times and various other main stream media. It was the publicity of this case and the others which grabbed the attention of soldiers like Officer Easterling since the issues were never decided on the merits as each case was rejected on grounds of standing, or, as to SCOTUS, simply denied full review with no comment.
As long as the issues are left open to wreak havoc, there is no way to foresee or contain the myriad of damage now pending before the nation. The Officer Easterling saga is certainly alarming considering Barack Obama has only held the office of President for less than two months.
The core legal issue of my case against the New Jersey Secretary of State concerned the fact that President Obama’s father was a native of Kenya - but a citizen of Great Britain via the British Nationality Act of 1948 - at the time of President Obama’s birth. Obama Sr. never became - or applied to be - a US citizen. President Obama, at his web site “Fightthesmears.com” admits his birth status was “governed” by the British Nationality Act of 1948.
The legal question I asked the court to decide was whether a person governed by the laws of Great Britain at the time of their birth could be considered a natural “born” citizen of the United States as required by Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of our Constitution. The question remains unanswered in any United States court.
Most of the other cases which worked their way through various state and federal courts concerned whether Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii. At his web site, Obama posted a photocopy of a Certification of Live Birth from Hawaii and had it verified by a private website called “factcheck.org”. This was his response to all parties requesting proof he was actually born in Hawaii. The audacity of this stunt generated a rush of litigation to have Obama’s credentials verified. Of course, while there is no Constitutional requirement for a birth certificate to be tendered, ordinary people could not understand why Obama was fighting so hard to prevent anyone from seeing his genuine documents apparently on file in Hawaii. It was this attitude of defiance which stimulated citizens across the nation - who are required to present an original birth certificate to any number of Government agencies - to institute litigation challenging Obama’s eligibility.
I do not write to you today to convince you that President Obama is not eligible to the office of President.
I write to convince you that having his title to office cleared of all doubt is in the best interest of the nation at large and specifically the military chain of command. Since you are the main law enforcement officer charged with enforcing the District of Columbia Code, and since you are listed in 16-3502 as one of only two people who may institute a proceeding - upon their own motion - in quo warranto to investigate any United States public office holder’s qualifications if the office concerned is within the District of Columbia. I respectfully request that you bring such an action before the District Court for the District of Columbia as soon as possible.
The Code provides - at 16-3544 - for a jury trial. I respectfully submit that this is the best possible way to settle the fact issue as to whether Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. As to the legal issue of whether he is a natural born citizen, even if born in Hawaii, the Judicial branch has been charged with the power to interpret exactly what those words mean.
I have done extensive research on the quo warranto statute and all possible Constitutional issues which may arise from its use as to a sitting President. The Congressional enactment of the DC Code’s quo warranto statute reflects the authority of Congress as the only branch which may remove the President. I have published the research at my blog.
The URL for my blog is:
http:naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com . (See Quo Warranto Legal Brief, parts 1-3).
The most important aspect of this research, as it may affect your decision to act, comes from the seminal US Supreme Court decision that interpreted the District of Columbia quo warranto statute, Newman v. United States ex Rel. Frizzell, 238 U.S. 537 at 546 (1915) wherein the court stated:
“The District Code… permits those proceedings to be instituted by the Attorney General of the United States and by the attorney for the District of Columbia. By virtue of their position, they, at their discretion and acting under the sense of official responsibility, can institute such proceedings in any case they deem proper.”
Please sir, nothing could be more proper for the benefit of the nation than having this issue settled. Under 16 - 3502, only the “United States attorney” and/or the “US Attorney General” have the authority, without requesting leave of the court, to institute this action. Under the holding in Newman, it requires no belief on your part that President Obama is actually ineligible. The US Supreme Court holding in Newman only requires that you “deem it proper” out of a “sense of official responsibility”.
In order to put an end to the bottomless pit of pending litigation, whether in direct attacks by quo warranto, or via collateral attacks - based on eligibility of office challenges - as described and allowed by the DC Court of Appeals decision in Andrade v. Lauer, 729 F.2d 1475, 234 U.S.App.D.C. 384 (1984), quo warranto appears both proper and necessary.
The nation and the military cannot have the chain of command subject to the rot of insubordination by multiple plaintiffs on a case by case basis each challenging specific orders as they arise. The floodgate of litigation will flow too heavily for certain containment.
However, the issue could be settled in one single quo warranto proceeding brought in the proper court by the proper officials. I strongly urge you and Attorney General Holder to act. I am forwarding to Attorney General Holder this same letter.
TWO IMPORTANT ISSUES
I offer the following two points regarding the natural born citizen legal issue to prove that there is convincing evidence, by way of authority and precedent, for citizens to be concerned that the Constitution has been circumvented by Obama’s holding office regardless of whether he was born in the United States. I do not expect to sway you to act on the basis of these points. I simply hope that you will see that, despite media attempts to paint all questions as to Obama’s eligibility as conspiracy theories, the core issue is not a conspiracy theory. It is a question of legal interpretation never decided by any court of law.
Prior to Obama’s taking office, no post grandfather clause President or Vice President had ever openly held office after having been born subject to the jurisdiction of another nation’s laws. The following two points are an introduction to the great body of authority which touches the issue, but they are by no means exhaustive.
POINT I: Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the Fourteenth Amendment, confirmed the understanding and construction the framers used in regards to the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” while speaking on civil rights of citizens in the House of Representatives on March 9, 1866:
[I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen…[6]
The 14th Amendment was interpreted by Justice Horace Gray for the holding of the US Supreme Court in Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94, 101-102(1884), as follows:
“The persons declared to be citizens are “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” The evident meaning of these last words is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance. And the words relate to the time of birth in the one case, as they do to the time of naturalization in the other…Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States…although in a geographical sense born in the United States, are no more “born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” within the meaning of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, than the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government…” (Emphasis added.)
Fourteen years later, Justice Horace Gray did a complete about face on this issue in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898) although the holding in the Elk case was not reversed. Regardless, the direct holding in Wong Kim Ark was restricted to the children of foreign parents permanently domiciled in the United States. Barack Obama Sr. was never permanently domiciled in the United States. I urge you to read both decisions in light of the following recent historical discovery.
POINT II: The recent historical revelation that Chester Arthur was a usurper to the office of President.
Chester Arthur faced an identical scandal as Barack Obama when Arthur ran for Vice President. It was alleged he had been born in Canada or Ireland and that he was a British subject at birth and therefore wasn’t eligible to be President. Recently, my research team discovered, via the official New York State naturalization record of Chester Arthur’s father - available at the Library of Congress - that his father did not become a naturalized citizen until 14 years after Chester Arthur was born. So, at the time of his birth, Chester Arthur was a British subject due to his father’s heritage and failure to be naturalized before Chester Arthur was born even though history has proved Chester Arthur was actually born in Vermont.
Our research also proved that Chester Arthur actively concealed this fact by blatantly lying about his parental heritage in various interviews with the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper at the time he was running for VP. (See articles at my blog.)
This is an important revelation because it establishes that Barack Obama is the first President in our national history who - at the time of his birth - was openly subject to and governed by the laws of another nation. The issue which needs to be heard in court is whether such a person’s citizenship will be considered “natural born” for the rest of our nation’s history.
Allowing this issue to avoid judicial interpretation will forever raise questions to President Obama’s title to office, and it will set a precedent that two generations of citizenship (and loyalty) are no longer required before one can become President and Commander in Chief.
It’s important to note that Justice Horace Gray was appointed by Chester Arthur and Gray’s mysterious and complete about face from Elk to Wong Kim Ark must be re-examined in the light of revelations concerning Chester Arthur’s secret since Wong Kim Ark appears to sanitize, for history, the illegitimacy of Chester Arthur as President, the man who appointed Justice Horace Gray to the United States Supreme Court.
Regardless, I must reiterate that I am not writing to convince you to take a position as to whether President Obama is actually eligible for the office of President. I am writing to beg that you bring an action in quo warranto so that the issue will be resolved once and for all which must be in the best interest of the nation.

Justice Roberts Agreed to read Dr Orly Taitz documents
Leo I believe can expose the fraud obama. I also believe Dr Orly Taitz can also expose obama as a fraud. 3 people at this time have the power to expose the FRAUD obama in a court of law. (1)Chief Justice Roberts (2) US attorney Jeffrey Taylor (3) Us attorney General Eric Holder.
.......................................................................................
(Dr Orly Taitz)(3/13/2009)
Yesterday I traveled to Idaho. I was able to address Chief Justice Roberts during the question answer session after his lecture. There were numerous cameras recording this event and simultaneous feed broadcast to all the campuses of the University of Idaho. Roughly 5,000 people in all the campuses had an opportunity to hear what I had to say, it is in video archives and now everybody knows the truth and knows that leftist media thugs such as Seattle Washington Observer shamelessly twist the truth to fit their Pro Obama blind idiot agenda.
It was a grueling day, I left home at 3 in the morning after sleeping only 3 hours and drove to San Diego, from there flew to Salt Lake City, from there to Tacoma, Washington, from there I drove for a couple of hours to be in Moscow Idaho, to address Chief Justice Roberts. After the lecture the audience was told, that they can ask questions, give their name and present a shot question. I was the first to run to the microphone and told Roberts. " My name is Orly Taitz, I am an attorney from Southern California. I left home at three o'clock in the morning and flew and drove thousands of miles to talk to you and ask you a question". Roberts seemed to be impressed by that and I continued. "Are you aware that there is criminal activity going on in the Supreme Court of the United States. I have submitted my case Lightfoot v Bowen to you. You agreed to hear it in the conference of all 9 Justices on January 23. Your clerk, Danny Bickle, on his own accord refused to forward to you an important supplemental brief, he has hidden it from you and refused to post it on the docket. Additionally, my case was erased from the docket, completely erased one day after the inauguration, only two days before it was supposed to be heard in the conference. Outraged citizens had to call and demand for it to be posted. On Monday I saw Justice Scalia and he had absolutely no knowledge of my case, that was supposedly heard in conference on January 23rd. It is inexplicable, particularly knowing that roughly half a million American citizens have written to him and to you Justice Roberts demanding that you hear this issue of eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro to be the President of the United States." At that point I have shown to Roberts a stack of papers, that I held. Those were my pleadings and printouts that I got from WorldNetDaily. It contained your names, names of about 350,000 that signed the petition. (there were others that have written individual letters,) . Roberts stated "I will read your documents, I will review them. Give them to my Secret Service Agent and I will review them". His Secret Service Agent approached me and stated " Give me all the documents, I promise you Justice Roberts will get them". I had a full suitcase of documents. The agent went to look for a box, he found a large box to fit all the documents, he showed me his badge, and introduced himself as Gilbert Shaw, secret Service Agent assigned fto the security of Chief Justice Roberts.
I gave him
1.Motion fo reconsideration of Lightfoot v Bowen with all the supplemental briefs.
2. Quo Warranto Easterling et al v Obama et al
3. 3300 pages of your names, people that signed WorldNetDaily petition, demanding that the Supreme Court hear Obama elligibility case. (StoryReports is on the list)
4. Copy of a 164 page dossier and all the other documents sent to Eric Holder, Attorney General, describing suspected criminal activity, associated with Obama and his supporters. It described a whole campaign of cyber crimes, intimidation, harassment, defamation and assassination of character, impersonation of US army officer Scott Easterling and impersonation of me, it showed screen shots of information being erased from the docket of the Supreme Court, it contained information of court cases being created, fabricated in order to commit voter fraud and sway public opinion, it contained a list of a 100 addresses for Barack Obama with numerous different social security numbers, issued all over the country and attached to those addresses. It showed the address Obama used in Somerville Massachusetts, attached to the social security of a man who is 118 years old. It showed evidence of Obama committing perjury, lying under oath. It had his school registration from Indonesia under the name Barry Soetoro, citizen of Indonesia, religion Muslim. Right after this page there was a page of Obama's registration to become an attorney and officer of the court in Illinois, where he stated under oath that his name is Barack Hussein Obama and he had no other prior names. It contained a report from a federal agent Steven Coffman, stating that there are numerous signs of forgery in his Selective Service Certificate. It contained a letter from a renown expert Sandra Line, stating that there are signs of forgery in Obama's short version Certification of Live Birth, and original birth certificate needs to be reviewed in order to ascertain his status. It contained 130 current job positions for Barry Obama, Barack H. Obama and Michelle Obama, that were obtained from Intellius Jobs.com. None of them were reported on Obamas' tax returns. All of these documents suggest possible massive tax fraud, corruption of a public official, bribery and massive campaign contributions fraud, whereby large campaign contributions, over allowed limits were reported as fictitious positions with different companies, not surprisingly involving most mainstream media outlets. These need to be reviewed in light of a pattern, I've seen previously. For example, as a State Senator Obama arranged for his friend Robert Blackwell from killerspin to get a grant of $320,000 of our taxpayers money for his ping-pong tournaments. In exchange Blackwell gave Obama back roughly a third, $100,000 in the form of a salary. Similarly Obama arranged for Chicago university hospital to get 1 million grant of our taxpayer money and they gave him back roughly a third $357,000 in the form of a board salary for his wife Michelle for working 20 hours a week, even though Michelle was totally worthless as a board member since she had zero medical education and her law licence is on a mandatory inactive status (I wonder why).
I am writing this in a hurry, ready to leave my hotel room, finishing yesterday's dinner leftovers and ready to board a plane for a grueling flight back home. I'll add one more detail. As one of the announcers introduced Roberts, he stated that Roberts has his priorities straight. He described an event when Roberts missed most of a reception because he wanted to be there for his young son, at the sports tournament where his son was participating. He described Roberts as a caring and loving father. At that point I was just about ready to cry. I have 3 sons, I love them too and I would love to be there, attending their events. I am a proud parent. My oldest son scored in top one percent in the Nation in PSATs and he is in an IVY league school studying to be a doctor. He is also a gifted comedian, who formed a stand up comedy improve group and I would love to see him perform. My wo younger sons are great students. My middle son has a beautiful low bass Elvis Presley voice, he sings opera and I would love to hear him perform. My youngest son is a top student taking 5AP classes in tenth grade, gifted mathematician and basketball player, I would love to see him get academic awards and play basketball. I missed time with my children, time that will never come back because a am criss crossing this country talking to Justices of the Supreme court, Representatives, Senators, FBI agents, Attorney Generals, US attorneys, telling all of them, what is wrong with you? Did some evil magician put a spell on the men in this country and they stopped being men? Why are you afraid to speak up, to stand up for you constitution? Why are you afraid to tell this arrogant jerk from Africa and Indonesia- You need to go home, you cannot be a president and commander in chief because you are not a Natural born Citizen. To be a Natural born Citizen you have to have both parents as citizens. Your father was never a US citizen and you don't qualify and you also spit us in the face by refusing to unseal your vital records. There is no proof that you are even a citizen. For all we know, you need to go back to Kenya and wait for your green card, and that after we try you for all the crimes perpetrated upon American citizens. I hope Justice Roberts teaches his son that he is a descendant of people that were real men and fought in Alamo and at Valley Forge. Chief Justice Roberts has a right to issue a stay and appoint Joe Biden a president pro-tempore until Obama proves his qualifications or until a new president is chosen. I hope Roberts teaches his son by example and not by empty words.

The OCCIDENTAL OBAMA
The OCCIDENTAL OBAMA
Wow this blog entry by Lee S. Gliddon, Jr. seems to fit some of the odd pieces of the puzzle in place. When he says obama is occidental this is the biggest piece of the puzzle. What if the puzzle had a flaw and it could not be completed because it was flawed from the beginning. The puzzle is of course obama and the flawed personality disorder is NPD a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy.
......................................................................................
The OCCIDENTAL OBAMA
As the Obama meandering trail of life becomes the interstate highway of courtroom trials for our beloved leader, Birdie Obama, it perhaps is time to weave the fabric of Barack’s Muslim, Kenyan, Indonesian, Hawaiian serape to explain just what he is hiding by hiring his platoon of lawyers.
What is taking place is indeed conspiracy as in the sense a violation of the RICO Act. This involves the state of Hawaii and Occidental College, if not Columbia of New York and Harvard.
What requires explanation in this is a generation of crime in supplanting the United States for money. It is as simple as that in local government policy being fed huge sums of money at the behest of Ford Foundation incorporating globalist policy into American culture.
Barack Obama is simply the tip of this iceberg which he desperately must conceal, along with all these other benefactors or beyond embarrassment, people will go to prison.
The first task in need of explanation is why would Hawaii aid a known illegal of British birth in illegally obtaining a fake birth certificate?
The answer is in 1961 the American public had not yet been herded by Teddy Kennedy and socialists into providing welfare benefits to illegals. Hawaii had a large population of illegals who were slave labor, but were a huge burden to the system in poverty and crime.
The Hawaiian answer, as it was a Democratic state and still is was to start registering all those foreign kids by the thousands. The purpose being to tap into all those federal hundreds of millions then which would profit the state.
See all of those poverty programs flowed funds into the pockets of the retailers as the golden goose pipeline. If one makes citizens out of illegals, then Hawaii converts a debt into their asset in obtaining more funds and growing the socialist system which empowers Democratic liberals.
The fact is there are hundreds of thousands of Barack Obama’s registered in Hawaii. Do you think even a Republican governor sitting on this explosive mess wants any of this coming out?
An entire state sold out the United States for filthy lucre, because they were importing Asian slave labor. That does not make a great headline, nor, did they probably ever expect a money train welfare illegal would somehow get hisself installed as President which would expose the entire Hawaiian fraud, and you know very well that all of those records would have to be gone through and verified so an Obama repeat would not occur, in all 50 states.
Talk about a nightmare huh? The nightmare would be the removal of Obama under Quo Warrantus which is being attempted now and 49 other states suing Hawaii for the money it would cost to check all of their records over the Hawaiian fraud.
Hawaii has always been a corrupt enclave like Rhode Island. Hawaii was the conduit in the Clinton years to get Chinese communists a stake in the United States Stock Market, to which Hawaii had the first meltdown in this scheme in costing their investors a fortune and ruining their banks.
That is why Hawaii is in collusion with Barack Obama. There were involved in massive welfare fraud and do not want this coming out.
With this kind of background, in families being “informed” of the opportunities involved in engaging in illegal citizenship, one Stanley Ann Dunham, hauled her little African eastern boy to Indonesia, until the jungle fever wore off, and then dumped him into the Hawaiian system again where Grandma Dunham was stuck with the kid.
Grandma Madelyn Dunham did earn some money in BankHo, her bank in Hawaii, but I suspect that the prestigious school Barry got into, was the same game that brought Barack sr. to America on a free educational route.
Barry Obama Soetero was tapping into the welfare system of Hawaii, and in knowing what twisters the Dunhams were, this takes us into Occidental College.
Amusingly Occidental College, basically means round eye college as occidentals are of the European origin who reside in North and South America. The place Obama chose to be dumped into by the Dunhams, was like many of the colleges in that 1979 period in tapping into government resources of free money to “educate” foreigners.
One has to understand colleges in America do not operate to educate children. They are conduits of establishing globalist brainwashing into children and as dry cleaning of billions of dollars in funds in “research”.
For example Wisconsin has a female professor who took huge amounts of cash for global warming, and one of her subjects was studying how the Great Lakes absorbing carbon gases affected warming. One might as well studied your bathtub water for the effect as if you look at a map you see the Great Lakes are dots compared to the oceans.
There are numerous studies linked to this gravy train of funds which flow into colleges and back into corporations whose equipment and services are purchased.
It is the Warren Buffett money flow into Walmart for his Chinese investments. except in this case it is college money laundering.
So the Dunhams were adept at illegal activities in scamming the American system, so it is a conclusion by what Barack Obama has been up to with his platoon of lawyers that he is covering something up.
Remember it is public information that Barry Obama upon going into college became Barack Hussein Obama. Liberals have explained this away as, “Barack was more intellectual sounding”. Not a chance, because what was going on is this:
A college career recruiter shows up and says, “Barry come to Occidental as you will have fun”.
Barry goes home and tells Gram Dunham he wants to go have fun. Either money is tight or the Dunhams are basic welfare swindlers and being cheap as they are, Gramma and Mama, put their heads together and say, “Hey, we can get a free education if we dust off Barack sr. being a British subject.”
They tell Occidental that and Occidental says, “Great, but we need documentation”.
“Crapper in the wrapper, “Stan and Mad say as all they got is a bogus Hawaiian birth certificate making him Americans.
Then Stan and Mad remember that Barry was adopted by Indonesian Papa Soetero. They tell Occidental this and provide Barry Soetero school records from Indonesia and Occidental says, “Eureka, you have struck it rich pilgrims. There is golden grants in them Indonesian hills!”
So Birdie becomes Barack and Occidental gets a big ole Obama grant to go with all their other foreign student federal grants they have been milking the system for at the behest of the globalists.
The problem now is, Occidental never figured their scammer would produce a person in the White House. See this system was designed to Americanize 3rd worlders with globalist nonsense and then bury them back into Indonesia, Russia and Kenya to ruin those peoples lives.
Occidental now has a huge problem as it engaged in federal student loan fraud which gave them like many of these globalist programs huge bankrolls to profit off of in exchange for Rothschild plans.
None of these geniuses ever suspected a scammer scamming the system would have a parent who would eventually tap into the Ford Foundation money and fellow traveler contacts which would start opening doors, including psychiatric research doors in reprogramming a Birdie dope head in Columbia to become Barack the communist organizer of Chicago.
Stanley Ann Dunham got greedy in out of necessity. She tossed Barry away in abandoning him in trying to get rid of her reminder of jungle fever, but still had this reminder turning into an eyesore dope head. She took this looser, put him into a program to “fix him”, laying Bill Ayers mindset onto him, all for the purpose of making her sexual mistake into something which would soothe her troubled breast.
The problem is Stanley looks like she embezzled funds from Ford to give Birdie a jump start at life in making her mistake into her glory. As this blog noted, Birdie was only supposed to be the new Jesse Jackson in bringing in the black vote at the beginning.
He though was transformed by his programming to take the lead of self fulfillment in being President when Hillary was forced to take a dive.
Not for one moment though have the Rothschilds nor Rockefellers not known Barry Soetero is dripping wet with fraud. Bill Clinton constantly hinting at “Constitutional qualifications” means in the boardrooms where these people meet, they have discussed it, have the paper trail and have Obama by his testicles that Jesse Jackson wanted to cut off.
Jackson pronounced the race was now complete and there was no more need for “black affirmation” as the race has now reached the mark.
The globalists know all of this and are shedding the black vote for the hispanic vote with Obama as their judas goat in betraying blacks. The globalists know full well how precarious of position Obama is in. They know if this comes out the country will be in chaos and they know if Obama stays in office the continued economic attack on America will simply provide their conduit in establishing their global order.
These financiers win no matter what as they have set this out to play out this way.
Strangely Orly Taitz, the lawyer who has the best option to bring all of this out and shine a light on the sordid money fraud situation betraying the United States is a factor the globalists hope for as the more turmoil created the better it is for the global order.
At the very least in this, Barack Obama is guilty of federal money fraud. As Tom Daschle and Tim Geithner just said “Ooops sorry” and paid it back, it could end there for Obama in the foreign student loans IF he had not shown a pattern for the period from 1971 to at least 1982 in passing hisself off as Barry Soetero, resident of Indonesia as an adopted son from British Kenya all to tap into the American money supply.
A normal moral person would never have gotten themselves into this mess, but Obama because of his programming and what that did to his phobic compulsion disorder has been ploughing on in this using the shield of the patricians who created him as they are powerful and connected people.
Occidental College opens up the door to Barack Obama declaring in writing he is not American, but foreign. This progresses to Columbia in this fraud as Birdie at home with the racist base elements as he dope slides along, concludes he is owed a little summer vacation with his Pakistani buddies.
Always the Dunham corner cutter, he goes into Pakistan once again on an Indonesian passport which signifies again Barack Obama is Indonesian as Americans could not get into Pakistan.
Obama would have probably gotten away with the money fraud, if he had not been too cheap and decided he just had to flip the bird to the American system and get into Pakistan. Those records prove he is an affirmed triple citizen of British Kenya, Indonesia and America, if not Canada registration too.
Any part of which disqualifies him for President of the United States.
Birdie Obama is like the crook who steals a million dollars, but has to go back and pick up the bank President’s pen in greed and that is the 20 dollar item that gets him busted.
There are federal records for these Obama applications for funding in the Department of Education. As of Barack Obama attempting to further smear George W. Bush in releasing Bush documents, to take the heat off of Birdie, the Dunham, Obama, Soetero education files are now open to the Freedom of Information act as all papers associated with a President are, as Barack Obama made this a presidential issue when he hired attorneys to cover up what was being hidden at Occidental College.
This is a matter for the Justice Department as it is money fraud of college funds and it is a matter for the Republican minority in Congress to demand and hold hearings investigating this.
Those records all exist and if someone destroyed them and they are missing, that is a federal crime of which Barack Obama is benefited by, as in he is then a guilty co conspirator in another felony.
If you get money from someone illegally, and someone else burns the papers protecting you, you are just as guilty as the person who lit the match.
That is how all of this ties together from Hawaiian welfare fraud, Occidental College student finance fraud and Barack Obama currency fraud defrauding the American public of funds and places of education for it’s own citizens.
This is really a large issue of global scale and Barack Obama is the tip of the felony iceberg. Someone is going to come forward with the papers which will light this up as it is in the globalists interests to do this. It will though come out as the scenario of operation is exposed here in tying it all together and as more people figure it out, then the conversation becomes, “I’m not following that crook in the White House”, and Barack Obama occupying that House or in exile does not matter as he will cease to be Prime Minister as America and then Congress ignores him.
Russia has figured this out people, President Medvedev brushed off Obama’s overture on European missiles linked to help in Iran. They know Obama is finished and are going to Jimmy Carter fillet him for concession as Obama needs them and they do not need Obama.
A simple alert for people who have not noticed this Nixonian Clintonesque Obama era, the Russians and Chinese have just declared the United States under Obama as unnecessary.
Richard Holbrooke pizzed on the President of Iran, well President Medvedev just pizzed on Barack Obama and America today.
You people at AOL, Politico and other mania outlets attacking “birthers” or this site, you had better do a reality check as your Obama on an issue you claim does not exist, just proved it matters to the people with nuclear missiles aimed at America.
You Obamaniacs did this and no matter how deluded you are into thinking he is your mahdi, the real world has just dismissed him as already not being leader of the United States.
The time will come when the American majority ignores him. Then what will Obamaniacs do as you have growing numbers of military already refusing to follow orders from Obama without those papers you claim do not matter?
Areas of America are already discussing not paying taxes and just going gopher with their guns and survival foods. You Obamaniacs are about to be facing this alone with a world class fraud who is looking to abort you abandoning you to wars you will be fighting as the US military stands down.
I warned of this in not wanting it in any way to come into the United States Military for the upheaval it can cause.
The Russians just slapped the person in the Oval Office across the face today as Obama gave them all they demanded. Every terrorist, every world leader just witnessed and noted what happened.
They are coming now for America and this all traces back to the Occidental Obama.
...................................................................................
President obama's language, posture and demeanor suggest that he may suffer from narcissistic personality disorder , or NPD. NPD is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy. The following are some of the symptoms of NPD that can be seen in Sen. Obama:
He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in the third person, has a messianic vision of himself and his "mission," displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression, holds grudges and behaves as an eternal adolescent. These are narcissistic traits as seen in Sen. Obama by Dr. Sam Vaknin. The author of "The Malignant Self Love," Vaknin states, "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist."
NPD is the prime disorder experienced by all the madmen of history – from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. They looked normal. Few suspected their insanity until it was too late.
Obama shares something else with these infamous narcissists: a chaotic childhood. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse, such as the neglecting of his or her emotional needs.
Pathological narcissism is not run-of-the-mill narcissism – someone with a hedonistic or self-centered sense of self – but rather someone with a very weak sense of self. A child who feels inferior, due to real or perceived social rejection, will try to compensate his feeling of inferiority by a subconscious neurotic mechanism, which the pioneering psychiatrist Alfred Adler coined "Superiority Complex."
Such a person compensates his devalued and injured self with puffery, pomposity and by projecting a false image of majesty and authority. He retreats into a bubble universe of fantasy, in which he is loved, respected and omnipotent. All children create such a fantasy world. Narcissists simply don't leave it. Since, due to their extreme feeling of inferiority, they don't fit in the real world, they refuge into this bubble world of fantasy and never get out. This world of pretence becomes to them as real as the real world, to the point that they can't tell the difference. When Obama acts presidential, he is simply acting out his childhood fantasy of omnipotence and grandeur. Emotionally, he is still a hurt little boy neglected and unloved, in the body and mind of a grown up man. (This really explains who or what obama is)
Narcissists have the emotional maturity of a child, or even an animal, but the intellect of a man. They feel like a beast, but think like a human. What makes narcissists dangerous is their lack of conscience, combined with their superior intelligence and their superb performance ability that fool many. They are predators that outsmart you.
To a narcissist, reality and fantasy are intertwined. He does not just pretend to be omnipotent, omniscient and superior to others; he actually believes it to be so. His delusions of grandiosity are real to him. That is why Obama acts presidential, despite his nugatory life achievements, lack of experience and complete ignorance in economic, political and military matters, as his flip-flopping shows. Obama is a cipher, but in his mind and those of his worshipers, such as Oprah Winfrey, he is "the One," the messiah who holds the key to all human sufferings.
Narcissism is not just a character flaw, but a mental disorder. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and they are intelligent, when in reality they live in a bubble world of fantasy. It is this incoherence, this disjunction between reality and fantasy that makes them overly confident, self-assured and authoritative. (This explains why obama is destroying America)
Narcissists disguise their feeling of inferiority by projecting unusual calmness, confidence, assertiveness, dominance and focus, and almost always possess superb thespian, communication and oratorical skills. These are traits that make one charismatic and attract a stampede of votaries like flies to sugar. Narcissists are needy people who crave attention. They develop these skills and act them out with regal exquisiteness to attract love, respect and admiration. They are performers, actors, slick chameleons.
Sadly, all the grace, exuberance, equanimity, charm, positive energy and magnetism that narcissists project, are pretence. They have the same function that the Styrofoam Greek columns at the Democratic National Convention had – to impress. The world of the narcissist is the magical world of smoke and mirrors. Obama is an illusionist.
NPD, and people's lack of understanding of it, has made it possible for many insane individuals to rise to the pinnacles of power. It is to this disorder that we owe most of the carnage of history.
When the Bible describes Satan, it gives a textbook definition of narcissism. Narcissists are charming, charismatic, intelligent, persuasive, but deceitful and ruthless. They can seduce multitudes.
When World War II ended and its horrors became known, the world said, "Never Again." "Never Again" can only work if we choose our leaders wisely. Once a madman is in power, it is already too late.
In an article entitled "Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuhrer," Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuhrer has shown many narcissistic traits that can be observed in Sen. Obama. Should the senator have NPD, all issues in this election would pale in comparison to what is at stake.
Imagine someone with the mindset of Hitler, Khomeini or Kim Jong-il in the White House, with Congress and Senate at his feet. Can you think of a more dreadful scenario?
In the case of Hitler, the only issue that really mattered was his sanity. Instead, the Germans were hoodwinked by his charisma, his oratorical skill and his vacuous promises of change. They paid a hefty price for their negligence. Shouldn't we learn from their mistakes?
It makes no sense that cops and pilots should be required to take psychiatric evaluation prior to being trusted with a gun or an aircraft, whereas there is no such requirement for those aspiring to run a country and be commander in chief, in charge of weapons of mass destruction. (Obama said to rely on factcheck.org to prove his identity. People did but there is no documentation to back it up!)
There is no basis upon which to assume Obama would become a murderous tyrant, but there are a number of disturbing traits he shares with murderous world leaders that are worrisome.
If Obama would submit to a psychiatric evaluation, he would be found mentally ill because of NPD. The evidence is his destruction of the US economy daily.

LEO DONOFRIO CAN TAKE OBAMA DOWN!!!!!
Leo's Band
A Real Super Hero
Thank You Leo For Not Giving Up On America!
QUO WARRANTO LEGAL BRIEF The Federal Quo Warranto Statute Is The Only Constitutional Means of Removing a Sitting President Other Than Impeachment LEO DONOFRIO CAN TAKE OBAMA DOWN!!!!!
quoa-warranto a new hopemilitary can now retreat in peace
The issue of whether the President can be removed from office other than by impeachment is the single most important question presented with regard to challenging the eligibility of a sitting President.
THE CONSTITUTION HAS PROVIDED CONGRESS WITH THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE THE PRESIDENT FROM OFFICE IN CASES OTHER THAN IMPEACHMENT.
Evidence of this power is directly written into the Constitution. The most obvious section is Article 2, Section 1, Clause 6 which states in full:
In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
A comprehensive investigation appears to reveal that the framers intended Article 2, Section 1, Clause 6 - as it applied to the POTUS - for two distinct purposes.
- the first purpose is the commonly accepted purpose: to provide for a vacancy in the office of President
- the second purpose was to provide Congress a means to remove the President should it become clear that he is not entitled to hold the office, for example - a classic quo warranto situation or if the President becomes disabled.
The 25th Amendment is quite an amazing grant of power when you consider the President can be forced to step down if Congress believes he’s lost his mind. That’s certainly a much greater power than just being authorized to decide how to fill the vacancy if he loses his mind.
QUESTION: If Congress has the power to remove a President should it become known he was a usurper, then why doesn’t the 25th Amendment address that?
ANSWER: Because by 1967 - when the 25th Amendment was ratified - Congress had already exercised their authority on this issue by enacting the federal quo warranto statute which allows for the removal of any United States officer found to be a usurper.
Article 1 Section 8 Clause17 states:
The Congress shall have power…To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States,…
Compare the wording of Clause 17 with §16-3501 of the federal quo warranto statute:
A quo warranto may be issued from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in the name of the United States against a person who within the District of Columbia usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or exercises, a franchise conferred by the United States or a public office of the United States, civil or military. The proceedings shall be deemed a civil action.
When you read the two back to back, it appears Constitutional that the office of President - being in the District of Columbia - should be governed by the federal quo warranto statute.
USC CODE: TITLE 3 THE PRESIDENT Chapter 1. Presidential Elections and Vacancies
Please review §19:
Vacancy in offices of both president and vice president; officers eligible to act
§ 19. (a) (1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President.
CONCLUSION: The federal quo warranto statute provides the only Constitutional means by which a sitting President may be removed by the Judicial branch.
It appears there is a Constitutionally viable method available for the eligibility issue to be litigated which does not violate the separation of powers enumerated in the Constitution. I strongly believe the federal quo warranto statute provides the only Constitutionally viable means by which a sitting President can be removed from office if found to be a usurper, whether such usurpation is intentional or unintentional.
First petition the Attorney General or US Attorney in DC to institute an action in quo warranto.
According to the statute, a quo warranto action to challenge the eligibility of a United States officer - whether elected or appointed - can only be brought in the District Court of the District of Columbia.
A Quo warranto dispute is not related to official activity of the President’s office. It relates to whether the President is eligible to hold the office and that is not an “official action” undertaken by the President. The statute defines quo warranto as a civil action. I believe the President would have to hire private counsel to defend himself.
The federal quo warranto statute provides that the “United States attorney” may institute an action in quo warranto on his own motion. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia is Jeffrey Taylor. He was appointed to that position in 2006 by the Bush administration and certainly has no conflict of interest. I am not aware of anybody who has contacted US Attorney Taylor in this regard. It will only take one of those officials to bring the action, not both.
WHY EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE BY THE PUBLIC TO PRESSURE AG HOLDER AND US ATTORNEY TAYLOR TO INSTITUTE - ON THEIR OWN MOTION - AN ACTION IN QUO WARRANTO ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT EX RELATOR PLAINTIFFS
U.S. ATTORNEY JEFFREY A. TAYLOR
While arguments about whether the military make the best plaintiffs have been raging, the simple truth is that a quo warranto case with the best chance of success ought to be initiated with no private plaintiffs at all. The federal quo warranto statute shows a preference for cases brought on behalf of the United States by the Attorney General or the US Attorney. And until respectful pressure is applied to those officials, the nation is deprived of the most perfect avenue to justice. Until this course of action is exhausted, I pray that all private attorneys briefly delay requesting consent from these officials while an effort is made to persuade them that it’s in the best interests of the nation for them to proceed on their own motion.
§ 16-3502. Parties who may institute; ex rel. proceedings.
The Attorney General of the United States or the United States attorney may institute a proceeding pursuant to this subchapter on his own motion or on the relation of a third person. The writ may not be issued on the relation of a third person except by leave of the court, to be applied for by the relator, by a petition duly verified setting forth the grounds of the application…
If either official bring an action in quo warranto upon their own motion, such an action is brought on behalf of the United States and no leave of the court is necessary.
As written, it’s possible any US attorney might be eligible to institute such a quo warranto action. Notice that in the statute - “attorney” isn’t capitalized in either 16-3502 or 16-3503 when the “United States attorney” is mentioned. Of course, US Attorney Taylor is certainly authorized, but this needs further research.
*************************************************************************************
Here is the danger Leo Donofrio doesn't mention. If obama thinks Atty Donofrio and thousands of Amercians are about to expose him as a FRAUD he will declare martial law to conceal his true identity. Obama can declare martial law for any reason and not tell anyone initially thanks to george bush and the "war on terror". The war on terror for some in the government could be any disagreement or "rebellion" as the government would call it, that seeks to expose the truth about obama or government corruption.
*************************************************************************************
Leo Donofrio:
If AG Holder and US Attorney Taylor refuse to institute an action in Quo Warranto on their own motion, the same statute provides for all “third persons” (any citizen) to request, via verified petition, that either of those two officials institute an action in Quo Warranto on plaintiffs’ behalf, subject to leave of the District Court of DC.
If AG Holder and US Attorney Taylor refuse to bring the action on their own motion, Mario Apuzzo and I are committed to acquiring as large a set of plaintiffs as possible to petition these officials on plaintiffs’ behalf [but in separate law suits]. “Third persons” are any citizens of the United States.
If the officials refuse consent to bring the action “ex relator” on behalf of such “third persons”, then the statute provides that any “interested persons” (a subset of “third persons”) may petition the court without the consent of the two officials.
Leo Donofrio explains:
An action in Quo Warranto should ask for two simple issues to be resolved:
1. That a court determine whether Obama’s birth status having been governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 prevents him from eligibility as a natural born citizen under Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution.
2. That Obama produce his long form birth certificate to AG Holder and/or US Attorney Taylor.
(Yes Leo I am interested as many are who want to expose the FRAUD obama. Include me in any lawsuit. I will serve the papers also sir!)
§16-3501 of the federal quo warranto statute:
A quo warranto may be issued from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in the name of the United States against a person who within the District of Columbia usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or exercises, a franchise conferred by the United States or a public office of the United States, civil or military. The proceedings shall be deemed a civil action.
§ 16-3502. Parties who may institute; ex rel. proceedings.
The Attorney General of the United States or the United States attorney may institute a proceeding pursuant to this subchapter on his own motion or on the relation of a third person. The writ may not be issued on the relation of a third person except by leave of the court, to be applied for by the relator, by a petition duly verified setting forth the grounds of the application, or until the relator files a bond with sufficient surety, to be approved by the clerk of the court, in such penalty as the court prescribes, conditioned on the payment by him of all costs incurred in the prosecution of the writ if costs are not recovered from and paid by the defendant.
§ 16-3503. Refusal of Attorney General or United States attorney to act; procedure.
If the Attorney General or United States attorney refuses to institute a quo warranto proceeding on the request of a person interested, the interested person may apply to the court by certified petition for leave to have the writ issued. When, in the opinion of the court, the reasons set forth in the petition are sufficient in law, the writ shall be allowed to be issued by any attorney, in the name of the United States, on the relation of the interested person on his compliance with the condition prescribed by section 16-3502 as to security for costs.
(Obama has usurped,intruded,unlawfully holds and exercises the office of the president of the United States!)

Quo Warranto:
The common law writ of quo warranto has been suppressed at the federal level in the United States, and deprecated at the state level, but remains a right under the Ninth Amendment which was understood and presumed by the Founders, and which affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents. Revival of the writs must be combined with reviving standing for private prosecution of public rights, subverted by the decision in Frothingham v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447 (1923)
A critical key to achieving federal constitutional compliance is to resurrect quo warranto and other common law writs. This involves reasserting and strengthening the original All-Writs Act and repealing or declaring unconstitutional legislation, such as the Anti-Injunction Act, and those Rules of Judicial Procedure, that have restricted the jurisdiction of federal courts to accept petitions for these writs and grant a fair hearing ("oyer") and a decision on the merits ("terminer") on such petitions.

President Obama appears to have set the seal on a dollar collapse
This is more excellant information from by John Browne
When President Obama took over the reins of government just six weeks ago, he stood at a historic crossroads. His decision on which route to take will make a profound impact on the future of the American economy and its currency. He could have persuaded a frightened Congress to initiate a structural change that would transform the U.S. economy from its dependence on debt-fueled personal consumption back to a path of productive growth. Instead, he took the easy route: attempting to delay the pain with stimulus and inflation, rewarding his benefactors without truly addressing our structural deficits. Disappointing for a man who campaigned on ‘hope’ and ‘change.’
Obama could have remained true to his electoral promises to halt taxpayer abuse and to focus spending on infrastructure. This would have created some 35,000 new, wealth-creating jobs for each $1 billion spent. It also would have left the private sector to deleverage, allowing the desperately needed economic restructuring to take place in a productive, free-market manner. Instead, he bowed to a socialist Congress by boosting entitlements, the very programs which, over the past four decades, have depleted America’s wealth and encumbered future generations with some $60,000,000,000,000 of debt.
Rather than ‘hope’ and ‘change,’ Obama has chosen to expand existing programs, casting a cloud over our children and grandchildren. His program is as old as Marx: ramp up government spending on and control over health and education to increase the federal government’s share of GDP, in this case by two-thirds to some 34 percent. This will continue the serious erosion of American wealth, and with it the U.S. dollar.
In his budget last week, President Obama chose to raise taxes on individuals and businesses. In the face of a worldwide recession that is fast sliding into a depression and even towards an economic catastrophe, it was a surprising decision. It will likely serve only to deepen and prolong the economic decline. Despite the destructive tax hikes, the budget still forecast the largest deficit in world history.
For the foreseeable future, deficits will be measured in trillions, not billions. To put these vast sums into perspective, consider just one billion, or one thousandth of a trillion. A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive. A billion hours ago, humankind was in the Stone Age. But in just the past eight hours and twenty minutes, even before Obama’s budget clicks in, the Government has spent $1 billion!
Investors will understandably conclude that Obama’s budget will put a near-mortal wound in the U.S. dollar and be tempted to sell or even short the greenback. Beware, as things are not that simple! While Obama’s budget has halted healthy economic restructuring and placed the U.S. dollar under long-term threat, several important short-term factors will postpone the inevitable.
First, it is vitally important to realize that the present recession is not restricted to the United States. It is worldwide. Asset prices are dropping around the globe and cash is already a king. As fear spreads, investors are running for safety in the world’s most widely held currency, the U.S. dollar. As a result, the dollar is rallying.
Second, the vast asset boom, from which the world is deleveraging, was based on a vast oversupply of cheap U.S. dollars. Investors borrowed low interest-cost dollars, converted them into their domestic currencies (driving down the dollar), and invested in local assets. Deleveraging is causing the dollar ‘carry trade’ to unwind, driving the dollar upwards.
Third, many investors, including major corporations and central banks, have diversified their currency holdings into the Euro. The world recession is hitting Europe extremely hard, particularly the large international exporters such as Germany, and the newly capitalist countries of the former Soviet Union. The plight of Eastern Europe has widened political cracks within the European Union to the point where there is now a serious risk that the euro and even the European Union could fail. David Charter of The Times writes, “…The lack of EU leadership and direction…threatens to wrench apart both the euro and the EU itself.”
If the Euro appears under serious threat, there could be a massive financial panic and a stampede into U.S. dollars, driving it to unexpected highs. This is likely to add temporarily to a recessionary fall in the dollar price of gold. In light of this unfolding evidence, it is becoming increasingly risky to sell short the U.S. dollar. In the long-term however, President Obama appears to have set the seal on a dollar collapse.

Obama’s budget has halted healthy economic restructuring and placed the U.S. dollar under long-term threat, several important short-term factors will postpone the inevitable. Obama appears to be an idiot but is in fact a communist.

Maybe one should open a history book, going back to the 1860’s, and take a look at the war of Northern oppression ( commonly called the “Civil War” ). Might it really needed to be termed the War of federal oppression.
Might we not need to stop at ascension of State sovereignty, and continue on to a
possible thought of succeeding from a union of states, governed by an oppressive
socialist regime, which is hell bent on destroying the United States of America,
and reducing OUR country to another communist government controlled , state owned gulag for those, once of a free nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.
We might only need to turn to the history of communism, and to the writings of Karl Marx , and the communist manifesto, to understand the new demoncratic plan of federal governance of all people, business and institutions, all state governments included, that is now in motion in the chambers of the house, senate, and in the office of the presidency.
They socialists inside the beltway are moving quickly to consolidate their power, and once consolidation is complete, the power will only be to the federal government, and the states now will be totally subservient to federal control. The will of the people will only bring on the imprisonment,(the useful idiots) and deaths of those who will question the authority of the federal government, this as seen in every instance where socialism and communism has come to power.
The lead in to this can currently be seen in the attack by the socialists in the federal government on the free speech of the people through dissent of the current
activities of the new socialist congress, senate, and office of the presidency. If the people, and the states allow this cancer to spread, and consolidate its power, the United States of America will shortly be known as the USSA. United Socialist States of America.

To keep and bare arms is not limited to just fire arms, it is an all inclusive statement. Shall not infringe is an all inclusive command, Look it up. Therefore no state and no federal gun laws are valid. Shall not infringe is an absolute prohibition to writh any laws pertaining to ones self defense choice of weapons. Some may be great with a sword other are excellent with a bow and arrow, you can not qualify what arms are, because anything can be used as a weapon.
Plain and simple no gun laws or any kind of weapons laws are valid and are in fact a crime against the constitution which is defined as an act of High Treason. This exactly what it boils down to, all government agencies state and federal are violating the constitution which under the laws voids the authority they attempt to exercise. A direct violation of their oath of office and an inpeachable criminal offense.
Until the constitution is restored and all of the unconstitutional laws on the books are repealed, government does not exist legitimately. (ie Obama is illegitimate or a bastard) They are in breech of contract and have self terminated any authority we gave by consent. We as individuals have to answer to the law and government is required to do the same or there is no constitution and therefore no authority to be governed. This is the way the writers of the constitution menat it to be, read their notes!
We must understand Marxism for what it is. “Father Karl” himself laughed at the idea that he had propounded an economic theory. The Communist Manifest sums itself up as “the abolition of private property.” Read correctly, it is the destruction of private property.
THE book exposing this from his Marx’ own writings in by the late Rev. Richard Wurmbrand , The title is Marx & Satan, and is available from Voice of the Martyrs US website for a mere $5. (Marx & Obama)
On the real economic side, we have Keynesian economics. John Maynard Keynes explained the real intent himself in his book The Economic Consequences of the Peace:
“”By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate secretly and unobserved an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction - and does it in a manner in which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
( I would agree with this, "one man in a million". I am the one man in a million. Become aware of Obama and he fellow communists and reason why you are seeing the daily destruction of the US economy and its financial system! You could be the next "one man in a million".)
We must end the Fed and its fiat currency. We must assert states’ rights. We must elect Constitutionalists. And we must do it, however small a minority freedom-lovers may be. As George Washington said. “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest may repair. … The event is in the hand of God.”

We must assert states’ rights!

You may not have heard much about it, but there’s a quiet movement afoot to reassert state sovereignty and stop the uncontrolled expansion of federal government power. Almost half of the state legislatures are considering or have representatives preparing to introduce resolutions which reassert the principles of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and the idea that federal power is strictly limited to specific areas detailed in the Constitution and that all other governmental authority rests with the states.
The founding fathers believed in a balance between state and federal power. This state sovereignty movement clearly arises from the belief that the balance of power has tilted too far and for too long in the direction of the federal government and that it’s time to restore that lose balance.
The emergence of this movement is a hopeful sign of the people asserting their rights and the rights of the states and finally crying “enough” to runaway government. With the threat of increasingly out of control federal spending, some of these sovereignty bills may stand a fair chance of passage in the coming year.
These sovereignty bills are not the first step towards secession or splitting up the union, nor are they an effort to block collection of the income tax, appealing though that might be. For the most part, they are not so much political statements of independence as they are expressions of fiscal authority directed specifically at the growing cost of unfunded mandates being placed upon the states by the federal government. Despite the movement picking up steam as he came to office, the target of these bills is not "President" Obama, but rather the Democrat-dominated Congress whose plans for massive bailouts and expanded social programs are likely to come at an enormous cost to the states.
What this movement is most similar to is the Nullification Crisis of 1832 where the State of South Carolina asserted that it had the right to nullify the authority of federal laws within its borders. In this case the states are not asserting anything as broad as the Doctrine of Nullification, but are merely reasserting the limits which the 10th Amendment places on federal authority, specifically as it applies to spending, the idea being that they don’t have to pay for federal mandates if their legislators choose not to.
As things stand right now it looks like Oklahoma, Washington, Hawaii, Missouri, Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, California, Michigan and Montana will all definitely consider sovereignty bills this year. They may be joined by Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania where legislators have pledged to introduce similar bills. Twenty states standing up to the federal government and demanding a return to constitutional principles is a great start, but it remains to be seen whether legislatures and governors are brave enough or angry enough to follow through. As the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress push for more expansion of federal power and spending that may help provide the motivation needed for the sovereignty movement to take off.

February 13, 2009
An Indiana county municipal official in the vicinity of Chicago reveals the contents of his meetings with FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. The initial requests seem reasonable enough when FEMA asks the county officials to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan to deal with flooding, fires, high winds and tornadoes.
But as the required meetings and calls with FEMA and DHS continue over a two year period their request become more unusual, raising suspicions of county officials
Listen to the audio:
“We want to know every important thing in this county. We want to know where police departments are. Where weapons are stored. Hazardous material. Where can we land a helicopter. Where are the airports. How big a plane can you land at the airport. Where are all the bridges. Where are all the power stations. Where are all the generating stations.Where are all the substations. They literally wanted to know where everything was. I’m sitting there thinking man if there was ever martial law. This kind of information is exactly the kind of stuff they are going to want. We’re just laying it all out for them right there.”
fema is preparing for mass graves and martial law
