		<description><![CDATA[Bob,

No problem with full faith and credit here--Georgia law gives Mr. Farrar* and the others standing, so they&#039;ll get their hearing and the case will quickly be disposed of on its merits (due to full faith and credit in the Hawai&#039;ian BC--either one).  Orly&#039;s part of the hearing should be fun to watch, though.  Odds are that she will try to get judicial notice irrelevant documents which show malfeasance on the part of herself and others.  I can only hope that the judge acquiesces when Orly demands that he &quot;LET ME FEENESH!&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[Just when you thought it was safe to trust the full faith and credit clause and decisions from the state of Hawaii....

&lt;b&gt;Georgia judge to hear arguments on eligibility of Barack Obama on ballot; Orly Taitz hails decision&lt;/b&gt;

“Birther” attorney Orly Taitz, a national leader among those who claim President Barack Obama isn’t an American citizen, is hailing a Tuesday decision by a Georgia judge as a victory in her movement.

Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi in the Office of State Administrative Hearings denied a motion by Obama asking to dismiss the complaint that seeks to keep his name off the state ballot during the March presidential primary. The judge’s decision now sets the stage for a Jan. 26 hearing on the issue in Fulton County.

		<description><![CDATA[Oh no he didn&#039;t

TAPPER: But what do you say to people who argue you are demonizing an organization for a charge that nobody knows if it&#039;s true or not?

AXELROD: Well I’m not demonizing the Chamber of Commerce. I’m simply suggesting to them that they disclose the source of the $75 million that they are spending in campaigns and put to rest, put to rest the questions that have been, that have been raised.

TAPPER: Isn&#039;t that like the whackjobs that tell the president he needs to show them his full long-form birth certificate so he can put to rest the questions that have been raised?

AXELROD: The president’s birth certificate has been available to people.

TAPPER: The long form?

AXELROD: Someone once in the course of this debate about whether we should have a law to force these organizations to disclose where they’re money is coming from in the campaigns, someone said, and I think they’re right – “the only people who want to keep things secret are folks who have something to hide.” If the Chamber doesn’t have anything to hide about these contributions, and I take them at their word that they don’t, then why not disclose? Why not let people see where their money is coming from?

		<description><![CDATA[Doc Conspiracy has the story and links on Lakin&#039;s change of counsel:

&quot;Up until now, LtC. Terry Lakin, the Army doctor who refused orders for Afghanistan over his doubts about whether President Obama is constitutionally qualified as his commander in chief, has ditched his legal team — Paul Jensen and his American Patriot Foundation. The APF web site supporting Lakin, safeguardourconstitution.com, now points to the main APF site with only a passing mention of LtC. Lakin. In the past APF participated in the production of video recordings where Lakin incriminates himself. It was quite obvious that LtC. Lakin was being used as his lawyer, Jensen, who told bald-faced lies on the Anderson Cooper 360 show on CNN while Lakin sat blankly beside him.

&quot;Military law specialist, Phil Cave, has confirmed that Lakin has hired a prominent firm familiar with military law to defend him.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[This just in.  Lakin has fired his birther, dog-bite specialist lawyer Rolf Jensen.  

He has hired a new law firm that is experienced in military law.

The website for Safeguard Our Constitution is dark on Lakin.  It was run by Margaret Hemenway and her father-in-law, John Hemenway, a lawyer who got a written reprimand by the US District Court for filing a frivolous birther lawsuit.

Jensen&#039;s site no longer mentions him. 

No word on the money contributed for the &quot;legal defense fund.&quot;

Scroll up in this thread.  Lakin was warned that his legal &quot;team&quot; did not have a clue.  

Where are his birther defenders now?]]></description>

Orly Taitz has paid her fine.  The check was dated August 18, 2010, made out to &quot;US Dep of Justice.&quot;  Doc has posted a photo of the check.

I would like to say that this is finis to the saga, but, no.  She has a &quot;60 B MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION&quot;  before Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.  This is her second motion for reconsideration, after the Judge dismissed her action for quo warranto.  I have no idea how a District Judge in D.C. can have any power to modify a fine imposed in the federal court in Georgia.

The State Department is maintaining a &quot;counter-misinformation&quot; page on an America.gov blog that attempts to &quot;debunk a conspiracy theory&quot; that President  Obama was not born in the United States, as if the topic were equivalent to believing space aliens visit Earth in flying saucers.

However, in the attempt to debunk the Obama birth-certificate controversy, the State Department author confirmed Obama was a dual citizen of the U.K. and the U.S. from 1961 to 1963 and a dual citizen of Kenya and the U.S. from 1963 to 1982, because his father was a Kenyan citizen when Obama was born in 1961.

In a number of court cases challenging Obama&#039;s eligibility, dual citizenship has been raised as a factor that could compromise his &quot;natural born&quot; status under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. The cases argue dual citizenship would make Obama ineligible even if documentary evidence were shown the public, such as the hospital-issued long-form birth certificate that indicates the place of his birth and the name of the attending physician.

The entry &quot;The Obama Birth Controversy&quot; was written by Todd Leventhal, identified as the chief of the Counter-Misinformation Team for the U.S. Department of State. The office appears to have been established &quot;to provide information about false and misleading stories in the Middle East,&quot; as described in a biography of Leventhal published on the U.S. Public Diplomacy website.

		<description><![CDATA[Just one little point, Buddha.  

The document that Taitz filed with the Court was a &quot;MOTION FOR RECONSIFERATION.&quot; 

Huh?

This is a new frontier in federal civil procedure and Supreme Court practice.  Law schools must now revise their courses, and legal publishers must scrap all casebooks and treatises.

Brilliant.  No one in 220 years ever dreamed of this bold end run around the Rules.  Fabulous.

She also managed to garble the names of Justices Sotomayor and Breyer.

The Supreme Court has upheld a $20,000 fine against a leader of the movement challenging President Barack Obama’s citizenship.


As usual, the AP getting things almost right. Taitz&#039;s stay application was denied. Denying a stay is not upholding the sanction. That will happen when her cert petition is denied. Except it&#039;s looking likely that her cert petition is late, in which case the sanction is upheld without action of the Supremes.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

As was this:

&lt;blockquote&gt;

Comment:
From Talking Points Memo, evidence that Orly&#039;s delusions still persist:

So-called &quot;Birther Queen&quot; Orly Taitz hadn&#039;t yet heard about the Supreme Court&#039;s decision to uphold a $20,000 fine against her when TPMMuckraker reached her on Monday.

But Taitz told TPMMuckraker she is convinced that none of the members of the court read her request, and that clerks made the decision for the justices. She cited a passage from a book co-authored by Justice Antonin Scalia in which, she claimed, Scalia said that less than one percent of cases are not read by a judge.

&quot;It was never seen by Justice [Clarence] Thomas, there&#039;s not evidence it was seen by Justice Thomas,&quot; Taitz said. &quot;I don&#039;t believe the Justices read a word of the pleadings.&quot; She said she wanted to see the original court document with the signature of a member of the court.

A federal judge&#039;s October 2009 ruling required Taitz, a lawyer and dentist who has filed several suits claiming President Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen, to pay the fine for filing &quot;frivolous&quot; litigation. Taitz was attempting to misuse the federal court system to push her political agenda, the judge said.

Taitz said after Thomas denied her motion, she went to Justice Samuel Alito because he reportedly has his own clerks read the briefs, which he said made him more independent. Alito, claimed Taitz, was also the only member of the court who did not attend a meeting with Obama a few days before his inauguration. She found the meeting inappropriate because she had an open court case involving Obama at the time.

&quot;That&#039;s a clear conflict of interest, that&#039;s lack of impartiality, and Alito was the only justice who didn&#039;t attend this meeting,&quot; Taitz said. &quot;Thousands of people have written to the Supreme Court that this is totally improper.&quot;

Alito&#039;s decision to refer the case to the full court is standard practice, as renewed applications are referred to the full Court to avoid prolonging the procedure, according to Supreme Court experts.

Taitz said reports that there was a lien on her house were untrue, and that she would be able to cover the $20,000 fine with donations from her supporters. &quot;I have means to pay, the public is collecting funds,&quot; Taitz said. She said she received $3,500 in four or five days. &quot;Within a month, I will have the $20,000,&quot; Taitz said. &quot;Most of them are contributing maybe $20, $25 dollars, there&#039;s a lot of support.&quot;

Taitz didn&#039;t see the decision as a setback, claiming the movement is building steam. &quot;According to the latest CNN poll, 6 out of 10 American Citizens doubt Obama is legitimate. How can he continue leading the country with such a record of report?&quot; Taitz said.

As she did last year, Taitz on Monday once again compared herself to Nelson Mandela. &quot;Nelson Mandela was in prison for years, he went against the regime, but ultimately he prevailed,&quot; Taitz said. The fine, said Taitz, &quot;was means of intimidation and harassment.&quot;

She vowed to fight what she said amounted to &quot;a slap in the face of each and every American citizen.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[Slarti,

I have not read the decision proper (just the AP release) so I can&#039;t say if it was cert denied proper or a simple refusal and remanded, but the bottom line either way is she&#039;s going to have to pay eventually.  

That it reached SCOTUS makes me wonder how much she&#039;s pissed away on litigation over $20,000?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gibbs asked about affidavits that Obama&#039;s SS number was assigned to Connecticut address.

Les Kinsolving, WND&#039;s correspondent at the White House, asked for an explanation from press secretary Robert Gibbs at today&#039;s news briefing:

&quot;WorldNetDaily&#039;s correspondent Dr. Jerome Corsi reports … [a question has been raised] by investigators in Ohio and Colorado concerning the president&#039;s Social Security number. Second sentence …&quot; Kinsolving began.

&quot;Birth certificates,&quot; interrupted another reporter.

&quot;He reports – no, I did not bring up the birth certificate – He reports that investigators Susan Daniels and John Sampson are asking, why the president is using a Social Security number reserved for Connecticut applicants. And my question, did you know …&quot; Kinsolving continued.

&quot;Hold on, that&#039;s two sentences, Lester. That … I …&quot; Gibbs said.

&quot;That&#039;s two sentences, and my question – do you know of any record that the president ever had a mailing address in Connecticut?&quot; Kinsolving asked.

Gibbs never answered, instead choosing to turn the conversation – and questions – to others instead of the president.

&quot;I know there are faithful readers of your publication that despite … &quot; Gibbs said.

&quot;Including you,&quot; Kinsolving pointed out.

&quot;Oh, well, I don&#039;t know that I would necessarily mark myself down at an avid reader or a faithful reader. I continue to be amazed, Lester, that two years after putting the president&#039;s birth certificate on the Internet …&quot; Gibbs said.

&quot;Without a hospital and without a doctor,&quot; Kinsolving noted.

&quot;Do you think the president was born here, Lester?&quot; Kinsolving asked the correspondent.

&quot;Beg pardon?&quot; Kinsolving said.

&quot;Do you think the president was born in the United States?&quot; Gibbs asked.

&quot;I don&#039;t know. I&#039;d love to get the real birth certificate, wouldn&#039;t you?&quot; Kinsolving asked.

&quot;I&#039;ve seen the real birth certificate. I put it on the Internet and I appreciate your…&quot; Gibbs said.

Kinsolving cut to the chase of the exchange.

&quot;But you&#039;re not answering this question,&quot; Kinsolving said.

&quot;I appreciate your forthrightness on the birth answer,&quot; Gibbs said, ending the briefing.

		<description><![CDATA[According to a press release from LTC Lakin and others he has waived his right to be present at an Article 32, UCMJ, hearing.  The command could proceed with the hearing anyway.  There have been times when an accused waives the hearing but the command goes ahead with it anyway.  Apparently in this case the command has decided to accept the waiver and forward the case to Commander Military District of Washington for the next steps in the process.  Note, IMHO, LTC Lakin has waived, forfeited, given up, any complaints he had about the Article 32, UCMJ, process so far by his waiver of the hearing.  Having waived his right to a hearing he cannot be heard to complain.

Subject: Fw: Request for Assistance – Copies of Original VR-1 Pages

Dear Ms. Joesting &amp; Ombudsman’s Office,

The HDOH has now twice said that they cannot disclose the records I requested because the original birth index pages don’t exist. These are documents (separate from the birth certificates themselves) which were submitted to the comptroller in 1980 with instructions to be retained permanently as originals and/or microfilm copies. The comptroller signed the request form. It has now been well over 10 business days since I asked the HDOH to provide the record of their having destroyed these records, since there was no request to dispose of these records as of the beginning of the year, which was when I received the copy of the DOH retention schedule. They have also said there is no index of foreign births – a document submitted to the comptroller and specified for permanent retention in 1982.

Either the HDOH is lying about these records not existing, or they have illegally destroyed them, or they have legally destroyed them within the past 5 months but refuse to release the documentation for that destruction.

The complete exchange with the HDOH can be found at my blog at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/hdoh-has-destroyed-original-permanent-records/ . That article also links to the retention schedule and to a post containing my complete exchanges with archivist Susan Shaner, who agrees that the HDOH should have these records.

The HDOH’s answers strongly suggest that they have illegally destroyed permanent records – a serious offense that should result in disciplinary action including termination of employment for those involved. When will this investigation begin and by whom, and will the people involved be put on administrative leave until the investigation is complete?

I look forward to your prompt attention to this serious matter.

Nellie]]></description>

Too funny, must be a family thing.


 Barack Obama&#039;s half-brother was denied entry to the UK after being accused of a serious crime on an earlier visit, the Home Office has confirmed.

Samson Obama, who lives in Kenya, was on his way to the US presidential inauguration in January when he was stopped at East Midlands Airport.

According to the News of the World, fingerprint tests linked him to an alleged sex attack on a British girl.

He was questioned but not charged over the incident in Berkshire, it added.

The Defense quest to use a military justice forum to invalidate all military authority while undermining the authority of a sitting United States President certainly appears at first blush to be a nonjusticiable political question.

The Defense quest to use a military justice forum to invalidate all military authority while undermining the authority of a sitting United States President certainly appears at first blush to be a nonjusticiable political question.</p>
<p>    &#8220;Daniel J. Driscoll,<br />
    &#8220;Investigating Officer&#8221;</p>
<p>The next proceeding seems to be scheduled for June 11th.</p>

Who, what, when, where, why?

 QUOTE  DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Nine people were indicted Wednesday on federal charges of accessing President Barack Obama&#039;s student loan records while they were employed for a Department of Education contractor in Iowa.

The U.S. attorney&#039;s office said a grand jury returned the indictments in U.S. District Court in Davenport.

All nine are charged with exceeding authorized computer access. They are accused of gaining access to a computer at a Coralville office where they worked between July 2007 and March 2009, and accessing Obama&#039;s student loan records while he was either a candidate for president, president-elect or president.

		<description><![CDATA[QUOTE ON
Obama’s Social Security number
Posted on Monday, February 15, 2010 

Crusading birther litigant Orly Taitz, DDS, Esq. has adopted the President’s Social Security number(s) as one of her major themes. This was repeated just last week in a filing with the DC federal court, as reported here at Obama Conspiracy Theories. So what’s her beef?
Taitz claims fraud on the part of Obama for (1) using multiple Social Security numbers, and (2) using the Social Security number of someone else.
39 Social Security numbers
In her most recent filing Taitz wrote:
  [Q]  I submitted an affidavit from a licensed investigator Neil Sankey, showing  that according to most reputable National databases Lexis Nexis   and Choice Point Barack Obama used as many as 39 different social security numbers, none of which were issued in the state of Hawaii, where he resided. (Submitted as an exhibit with the complaint)[UQ]
I have looked at various filings available from the courts, and I have not personally seen the list of 39 Social Security numbers. What I have seen is various lists of names similar to Obama, mostly living at Obama’s former Chicago address and all having the same Social Security number. From where I sit, I have no documentation available to me that Taitz’s claim is true, and if it is, I would question the accuracy of these databases, which are essentially credit reporting databases aggregated from various sources usually without any verification. We do not know what matching  criteria were used to say that these were our president Barack Obama. It all seems rather far fetched.
Born in 1890
Taitz continues:
    [Q]The same affidavit contained information, showing that the social security number [Social Security Number redacted, Doc C.], that he used most often, was issued in the state of Connecticut to an individual born in 1890. Since Obama never resided in the state of Connecticut and was not born in 1890, it was a sign of clear violation of Title 42 US Code, section 408(a)(7)(B), misuse of a social security number, which is a federal felony punishable under Title 18 USC by fine or imprisonment of up to five years or both and an evidence of foreign birth and lack of proper citizenship status.[UQ]
and
   [Q] I submitted an affidavit from a licensed investigator Susan Daniels, showing that according to her research Obama used a stolen social security number [Social Security Number redacted, Doc C.], which was issued to another individual born in 1890 in the state of CT.[UQ]
While it is not certain that the Social Security number “that he used most often” according to Taitz is really the President’s, I suspect that it probably is. Taitz is correct that the “042″ series of numbers was indeed assigned to Connecticut, and Connecticut is not Hawaii. As far as I know, President Obama never resided in Connecticut.
If there is any clear evidence of fraud, it is the 1890 date that Taitz flouts. First, if the SSN was really for a person born in 1890, that person would be dead. The Social Security death index doesn’t list this number, so we can presume that the 1890 date is bogus. However, there is more direct evidence that it’s wrong and Taitz knows it. In her own court filing in Barnett v. Obama (page 5) she shows where the 1890 date comes from. The document says:
    Dates of Birth Associated with SSN:
    1890
    08/04/1961
    04/08/1961
Obviously the third is a typographical error on the correct date (the second) and 1890 is just database garbage. Which is the more likely date of birth from the preceding list? If you are convinced that everything Obama does is a fraud, then the first entry is the one to pick. If you’re looking for the real answer, you pick the one that makes sense, the President’s actual date of birth.
While Taitz claims that the SSN Obama uses “was issued to another individual”, she never says who that individual is, and this is because the record for that SSN belongs to none other than Barack Obama himself, as we see from Orly’s own filing.
What about the Connecticut number series? It’s an interesting question, but there’s no law that says you have to get your SSN from a Social Security office in the state where you reside. Nowadays, they are all processed centrally and the assignment is based on the zip code of the return address. My guess (and that’s all it is) is that Obama got his SSN as a child living in Indonesia and the application was just processed in Connecticut. What it most certainly does not mean is Taitz’s surprising conclusion: “foreign birth and lack of proper citizenship status.” (Connecticut is not a foreign country either.)

<p>Crusading birther litigant Orly Taitz, DDS, Esq. has adopted the President’s Social Security number(s) as one of her major themes. This was repeated just last week in a filing with the DC federal court, as reported here at Obama Conspiracy Theories. So what’s her beef?<br />
Taitz claims fraud on the part of Obama for (1) using multiple Social Security numbers, and (2) using the Social Security number of someone else.<br />
39 Social Security numbers<br />
In her most recent filing Taitz wrote:<br />
  [Q]  I submitted an affidavit from a licensed investigator Neil Sankey, showing  that according to most reputable National databases Lexis Nexis   and Choice Point Barack Obama used as many as 39 different social security numbers, none of which were issued in the state of Hawaii, where he resided. (Submitted as an exhibit with the complaint)[UQ]<br />
I have looked at various filings available from the courts, and I have not personally seen the list of 39 Social Security numbers. What I have seen is various lists of names similar to Obama, mostly living at Obama’s former Chicago address and all having the same Social Security number. From where I sit, I have no documentation available to me that Taitz’s claim is true, and if it is, I would question the accuracy of these databases, which are essentially credit reporting databases aggregated from various sources usually without any verification. We do not know what matching  criteria were used to say that these were our president Barack Obama. It all seems rather far fetched.<br />
Born in 1890<br />
Taitz continues:<br />
    [Q]The same affidavit contained information, showing that the social security number [Social Security Number redacted, Doc C.], that he used most often, was issued in the state of Connecticut to an individual born in 1890. Since Obama never resided in the state of Connecticut and was not born in 1890, it was a sign of clear violation of Title 42 US Code, section 408(a)(7)(B), misuse of a social security number, which is a federal felony punishable under Title 18 USC by fine or imprisonment of up to five years or both and an evidence of foreign birth and lack of proper citizenship status.[UQ]<br />
and<br />
   [Q] I submitted an affidavit from a licensed investigator Susan Daniels, showing that according to her research Obama used a stolen social security number [Social Security Number redacted, Doc C.], which was issued to another individual born in 1890 in the state of CT.[UQ]<br />
While it is not certain that the Social Security number “that he used most often” according to Taitz is really the President’s, I suspect that it probably is. Taitz is correct that the “042″ series of numbers was indeed assigned to Connecticut, and Connecticut is not Hawaii. As far as I know, President Obama never resided in Connecticut.<br />
If there is any clear evidence of fraud, it is the 1890 date that Taitz flouts. First, if the SSN was really for a person born in 1890, that person would be dead. The Social Security death index doesn’t list this number, so we can presume that the 1890 date is bogus. However, there is more direct evidence that it’s wrong and Taitz knows it. In her own court filing in Barnett v. Obama (page 5) she shows where the 1890 date comes from. The document says:<br />
    Dates of Birth Associated with SSN:<br />
    1890<br />
    08/04/1961<br />
    04/08/1961<br />
Obviously the third is a typographical error on the correct date (the second) and 1890 is just database garbage. Which is the more likely date of birth from the preceding list? If you are convinced that everything Obama does is a fraud, then the first entry is the one to pick. If you’re looking for the real answer, you pick the one that makes sense, the President’s actual date of birth.<br />
While Taitz claims that the SSN Obama uses “was issued to another individual”, she never says who that individual is, and this is because the record for that SSN belongs to none other than Barack Obama himself, as we see from Orly’s own filing.<br />
What about the Connecticut number series? It’s an interesting question, but there’s no law that says you have to get your SSN from a Social Security office in the state where you reside. Nowadays, they are all processed centrally and the assignment is based on the zip code of the return address. My guess (and that’s all it is) is that Obama got his SSN as a child living in Indonesia and the application was just processed in Connecticut. What it most certainly does not mean is Taitz’s surprising conclusion: “foreign birth and lack of proper citizenship status.” (Connecticut is not a foreign country either.)<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Daniels and Sampson each used a different database showing Obama is using a Social Security number beginning with 042.

WND has further confirmed that the Social Security number in question links to Obama in the online records maintained by the Selective Service System. Inserting the Social Security number, his birth date and his last name produces a valid Selective Service number.
Obama calls Britain&#039;s new Prime Minister David Cameron from the White House in Washington

To verify the number was issued by the Social Security Administration for applicants in Connecticut, Daniels used a Social Security number verification database. She found that the numbers immediately before and immediately after Obama&#039;s were issued to Connecticut applicants between the years 1977 and 1979.

&quot;There is obviously a case of fraud going on here,&quot; Daniels maintained. &quot;In 15 years of having a private investigator&#039;s license in Ohio, I&#039;ve never seen the Social Security Administration make a mistake of issuing a Connecticut Social Security number to a person who lived in Hawaii. There is no family connection that would appear to explain the anomaly.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Siciliano, president and CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com and a nationally recognized expert on identity theft, agrees the Social Security number should be questioned.

&quot;I know Social Security numbers have been issued to people in states where they don&#039;t live, but there&#039;s usually a good reason the person applied for a Social Security number in a different state,&quot; Siciliano told WND.

WND asked Siciliano whether he thought the question was one the White House should answer.

&quot;Yes,&quot; he replied. &quot;In the case of President Obama, I really don&#039;t know what the good reason would be that he has a Social Security number issued in Connecticut when we know he was a resident of Hawaii.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK – Two private investigators  working independently are asking why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.

In addition, the records indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama&#039;s earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream shop in Oahu, Hawaii.

WND has copies of affidavits filed separately in a presidential eligibility lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia by Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels and Colorado private investigator John N. Sampson.

The investigators believe Obama needs to explain why he is using a Social Security number reserved for Connecticut applicants that was issued at a date later than he is known to have held employment.]]></description>
