Fraud, Forgery, Terrorism and Hundreds of Thousands of Dead People

The mystery surrounding the birthplace of Obama/Soetoro/ really was. The issue of the Obama/Soetoro birth certificate in 1961 by the British Protectorate of Mombasa should have put an end to the rumors, speculation, and denials;  however, the Obama administration's own lawyers admitted he was not born in the united States of America and that his Long form birth certificate was a forgery, and that they were threatened to testify falsely about the entire issue. The Governor of Hawaii has testified that there is no birth certificate for Obama/Soetoro on record in Hawaii State, at anytime, past or present.

This simple fact throws legitimacy out the window regarding every document Obama/Soetoro signed while occupying the White House. The fraud played on the American People is egregious and horrid. To pretend that Obama/Soetoro was ever President is to make null and void the Constitution of The United States of America. While realizing that the U.S. Government is a foreign Corporation, now incorporated in France, it is still necessary for a corporate officer to adhere to his own Constitution, least it breaches the trust of the parties involved and the contract. 

The past several administrations have violated every Article of Amendment to the Constitution. The violations breach the contract and Nullify the reason for the existence of the U.S. Government. This basic fact is the main reason Obama/Soetoro has referred to the Constitution as 'Just A Piece of Paper' that means nothing. This gives rise to the dictatorial Power of the Fraud occupying the White House and the long chain of unlawful Executive Orders issued by U.S. Presidents.

Any future legitimate President to not take action regarding the fraud perpetrated on the American People, would place doubt on the integrity of the Office of the President and the Person occupying it.

There are times when re-visiting an older article might be worth a thought or two.

Obama’s Lawyers Officially Admit Birth Certificate is Fake

"Lawyers for the Obama Administration announced that Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate was a forgery. Under penalty of perjury, the lawyers said they were forced to say that the birth certificate was valid.

A lawyer representing the Obama administration say the birth certificate was knowingly purveyed to fool the American public into believing he was legitimately able to be President.

However, they purport that Obama knows he is not a natural born citizen.

Obama stated at a White House briefing that the birth certificate subject is “irrelevant”. He must think that by dismissing it that he can make it go away.

This invalidates the Obama Presidency and makes him ineligible to be President in 2012.

Pen Johannson, Editor of the Daily Pen, stated in his editorial that this controversy should set off a firestorm of constitutional questions and a legislative controversy of epic proportions.

In New Jersey, a case about Obama’s eligibility has influenced activist to question the President’s legal right to be Commander and Chief.

Alexandra M. Hill, representative defense attorney for Obama made comments that brought the Tea Party members to question the legitimacy of Obama’s birth certificate.

Nick Purpura of Wall Township, NJ, and Ted Moran of Toms River, NJ, filed their objection with the New Jersey Board of Elections. Purpura and Moran objected to Obama appearing on the June 5 Democratic Primary ballot on two grounds:

• No one knows exactly who Barack H. Obama is, because he has had three different names in life. Furthermore, he has never furnished a true copy of his birth certificate to the Secretary of State. So no one can be sure that Obama was born in the United States.
• Obama’s father was a British colonial subject. He not only was not a naturalized citizen on the alleged date of Obama’s birth, but indeed never sought naturalization. Therefore Obama could never be a natural-born citizen no matter where he was born.

Attorney for the plaintiff, Mario Apuzzo asserts that the birth certificate is the proof of Obama’s citizenship that allows him to be on the ballot in New Jersey.

On April 10, 2012, these lawyers admitted the forgery.

Obama is asserting that the document is a fake and should not be allowed into evidence. And the judge in this case agrees.

By this admission, Barack Obama can be charged with High Crimes and Misdemeanors by lying to the American public about his legitimacy as President. Obama is guilty to criminal activity and blatantly ineligible for Presidency and the electoral process this year.

Without the birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he is a natural born citizen. Where before this development, the Obama administration adamantly asserted that the birth certificate was legitimate; they knowing lied and therefore should be arrested and charged with their illegal actions against the American people."

Why John Roberts (Likely) Is Protecting Obamacare…

From the post by:  by Dr. Kevin "Coach" Collins

"On Monday, without comment (because he could not make a coherent one),  Chief Justice John Roberts denied a request by the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons and the Alliance for Natural Health USA for a stay in the implementation of Obamacare. The groups had made their application last Friday, arguing that since the bill had been declared a tax by the Supreme Court (with Justice Roberts himself the deciding vote), and it had originated in the Senate (the Constitution says revenue bills may not originate), the law was therefore unconstitutional; and implementation of Obamacare  should at least be stayed pending further examination.

While there are other minor issues attached to the application that were also not addressed, the truth of the matter is clear: John Roberts will never do anything to derail Obamacare, no matter what arguments against it are brought before him.

There is very good reason to believe that regardless of the media’s skillful smothering of the story, John Roberts is being blackmailed to make certain Obamacare never falls in a Supreme Court case. The basis of this charge surrounds the fact that a series of strange (and probably felonious) acts are attached to the adoption of his two children.

In 2005, when they thought they were doing the Democrats’ bidding, the New York Times dug into apparently easily accessible records and found that the children Roberts and his wife adopted in “South America” started life as Irish citizens. This is a red flag. The laws of Ireland regarding adoptions are very clear: adoptions by non-citizens are prohibited, as are private adoptions.

Apparently, when the Democrats realized they could control a Supreme Court Justice’s vote through blackmail over his having committed a number of international crimes, the Times pulled back and dropped its investigation. The Democrat paper of record pulled back because it didn’t want to “ break the seal of an adoption case” – as if violating laws ever means anything to Democrats in their quest for power. Keep in mind Barack Obama’s violation of his opponents’ “sealed” divorce records propelled him to a US Senate seat.

What does the Roberts problem mean for the average American who looks to Washington for relief from Democrat oppression? It means we won’t be getting any relief from the Roberts Court, period."

Obama Not Legally Eligible to Be President: the Final Word

Once again, the storm clouds of disbelief and discontent have formed above Washington D.C. and over the Headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. The esteemed Fix America readers were familiar with various eligibility issues as reported in past posts. (Please See: Post List Below) 




The DNC party talking points covering all imaginable deflections from their culpable part (sufficiently responsible for criminal acts or negligence to be at fault and liable for the conduct) in this ongoing fraud against the American people, at best, are without merit and at the worst constitute conspiracy to commit fraud in addition to any violations of election rules and regulations and any violations of U.S.C. laws, rules, and regulations, etc. 

It is now legally clear that Soetoro/Obama has admitted;  He was born in Kenya, he is a Kenya “natural born” citizen, his foreign birth was registered in the State of Hawaii, his father, Barrack Hussein Obama, Sr. admitted paternity of him, his mother gave birth to him in Mombasa, Kenya, his mother’s maiden name is Stanley Ann Dunham a/k/a Ann Dunham, that the COLB [Certification of Live Birth] posted on the website “Fightthesmears.com” is a forgery, he was adopted by a Foreign Citizen, he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, M.A. a citizen of Indonesia, he was not born in Hawaii, he was not born at the Queens Medical Center in Hawaii, he was not born at Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Hawaii, he was not born in any Hospital in Hawaii, he is a citizen of Indonesia, he never took the “Oath of Allegiance” to regain his U.S. Citizenship status, he is not a “natural born” United States citizen, his date of birth is August 4, 1961, he traveled to Pakistan in 1981 with his Pakistani friends, that in 1981, he went to Indonesia on his way to Pakistan, (Pakistan was a no travel zone in 1981 for American Citizens)(during 1981, Pakistan was not allowing American Citizens to enter their country) he traveled on his Indonesian Passport to Pakistan, he renewed his Indonesian Passport on his way to Pakistan, his senior campaign staff is aware he is not a “natural born” United States Citizen, that he is proud of his Kenya heritage, that his relatives have requested changes to the portion of his birth certificate that identifies his first name, that his relatives have requested changes to the portion of his birth certificate that identifies his last name, that his relatives have requested changes to the portion of his birth certificate that identifies his place of birth, that he requested changes to the portion of his birth certificate that identifies his first name, that he requested changes to the portion of his birth certificate that identifies his last name,that he requested changes to the portion of his birth certificate that identifies his place of birth, that the document identified as his Indonesian School record from Fransiskus Assisi School in Jakarta, Indonesia is genuine, that he went to a Judge in Hawaii to have his name changed, that he went to a Senator and/or Congressman or other public official in Hawaii to have his name changed, that he had a passport issued to himself from the Government of Indonesia, (The United States Constitution does not allow for a Person to hold the office of President of the United States unless that person is a “natural born” United States citizen), he is ineligible pursuant to the United States Constitution to serve as President and/or Vice President of the United States, he never renounced his citizenship as it relates to his citizenship to the country of Indonesia, he never renounced his citizenship as it relates to his citizenship to the country of Kenya, he is an Attorney who specializes in Constitutional Law, that Kenya was a part of the British Colonies at the time of his birth, that Kenya did not become its own Republic until 1963, he is not a “Naturalized” United States Citizen, that he obtained $200 Million dollars in campaign funds by fraudulent means, he cannot produce a “vault” (original) long version of a birth certificate showing his birth in Hawaii, his “vault” (original) long version birth certificate shows his birth in Kenya,  that the only times he was to a Hospital in Hawaii was for check-ups or medical treatments for illnesses, that Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii does not have any record of his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham (Obama) giving birth to him, that Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawaii does not have any record of his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham (Obama) giving birth to him, he was born in the Coast Province Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, he represented on his State Bar application in Illinois that he never used any other name other than Barack Hussein Obama, he went by the name Barry Soetoro in Indonesia, his Indonesian school records are under the name of Barry Soetoro, he took an Oath to uphold the United States Constitution when admitted to the State Bar of Illinois to practice Law, he took an Oath to uphold the United States Constitution when he was Sworn into his United States Senate Office, he holds dual citizenship with at least one other Country besides the United States of America, and he has admitted to other statements of fact that implicate him and his followers in many ways un-American and against various Articles of the Constitution of the United States. What, if anything, has he had to say about any or all of his admissions?

"It's not important, it doesn't matter, I was elected."

As has been reported in the Post entitled:  From Risky Gamble, To Disaster, To Debacle: The Democratic National Committee Plan

"The API on March 9, 2012, has reported that since March 6, 2012, they have been in possession of the certificate and a letter of authority from the Office of Registration of the Coast Provincial Hospital verifying its genuine nature. Whether or not the veracity of the API is questioned, the indisputable probity the document presents itself is all that matters, which has yet to be confirmed by any U.S authority or party interested in this issue. What can be said without question is there are too many of these certificates with conflicting facts, and that alone is much more than sufficient to warrant a true and honest congressional investigation.

After the true facts are determined, and if a fraud is determined to have been perpetrated against the U.S. Constitution and the people of our nation, it should be obvious that all the people that participated in this conspiracy to place an ineligible person into office, be identified and placed in custody without bail until they can be charged with as many charges as can be filed. Then after impeaching or removing anyone the person occupying the presidency appointed to any position, void any and all instruments generated or signed or agreed to by any of these illegally appointed people including the president, and bar them, if any of them are ever released from prison, from holding public office anywhere within the United States of America for the remainder of their lives."

That also includes holding all decisions made by the Supreme Court of The United States null and void since his illegal appointment of any Justice, since he has no legitimate authority to have done so.

What, if anything, has the DNC had to say about any or all of his admissions or their part in this fraud to gain control of the United States of America in order to move Forward the Changes wanted by the American Communist Party and its' extensions?

"We did nothing wrong. It's not important, it doesn't matter, he was elected."

Now that Obama/Soetoro has his private army (think DHS, TSA, and foreign troops on American soil) and the Concentration Camps for dissenting Citizens (think F.E.M.A. Camps) and enough 10 mm hollow point ammunition to kill every Citizen 10 times over, more than 2,700 Urban Warfare Vehicles marked, POLICE/RESCUE, without Congress and the Armed Forces of the United States, it will be very difficult and costly (think not of money) to re-establish our government and the proscribed methods of governance under the Constitution of the United States.

From the Post Entitled - The Hope for America

"Obama will set the clock back decades. America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America , and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations.. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castrists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists, and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House.

America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.


Michael A. Haberman"

The Means?

What if Fox Network never allowed Andrew Paolo Napolitano to make another broadcast?


What if Fox Network instead fired him for his efforts to awaken U.S. Citizens to the dangers our nation faces from within?


What if Barack Obama is not a U.S. Citizen of any kind, but instead an Indoneasian Citizen?


What if Barack Obama is an illegal immigrant from Indonesia and of Kenyan birth?


What if his Hawaiian Democratic eligibility certification left out "of the United States Constitution and are the duly chosen candidates of both the state and"?


What if Kevin Cronin, Chief Elections Officer, Hawaiian Office of Elections for the Hawaiian Cheif of Elections refused to sign it?


What if Elana Kagan signed it instead?


What if Nancy Pelosi chairperson of DNC declared and then certified he was legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the national Democratic Parties balloting at the Presidential Preferences Poll and Caucus which says nothing regarding the U.S. Constitution?


What if on January 6th, 2009, when Congress voted to certify the election by the Electoral College, not one congressman chose to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, as was their duty, and question the state of Hawaii's certification?


What if by that point in time, most if not all of Congress, believed the problems could not possibly have any merit because no one could have gotten that far into the election process without red flags being raised and waived by the privately-owned major media?


What if no one was aware of the problems surrounding Barack Obama because the privately-owned major media was not reporting any of this news nationally?


What if Barack Obama by way of election fraud was declared the incumbent president?


What if he misstated his oath of office, and never said it correctly?


What if the the next day a private ceremony was performed on the Qur'an instead of the Holy Bible and Barack Obama swore to God (Allah) in front of Chief Justice John G. Roberts and the words of upholding and defending the the U.S. Constitution meant nothing to the illegal immigrant who was not a U.S. Citizen?


What if a foreign citizen who is not a legal U.S. Citizen and has no loyalty to the United States of America is required to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution of which any oath does not bind him?


What if he occupies the presidency illegally?


What if he appointed Elana Kagan to be his Solicitor General?


What if he appointed the Solicitor General to oversee and insure that a health care plan would be composed and presented to The U.S. Congress for adoption, but knew a legal question of constitutionality might face Judicial Review by The U.S. Supreme Court?


What if the health care plan was adopted but did not meet Constitutional requirements?


What if Barack Obama appointed Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme court?


What if any decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court has been thrown into doubt because any decisions made by Justice Kagan are not valid because she was appointed by someone who can not be and is not the President?


What if the health care plan passed by the U.S. Congress was in legal question?


What if a legal challenge over the constitutionality of the health care plan was placed before the U.S. Supreme Court to determine if it met constitutional requirements?


What if The U.S. Supreme Court honored the request for Judicial Review and took up the challenge?


What if it was left up to Justice Elena Kagan to recuse herself or not?


What if Barack Obama had appointed Leon Panetta to be the United States Secretary of Defense a position which calls for a proven and battle tested military background which Panetta does not posses?


What if Barack Obama exceeded Executive Authority and brought unilateral undeclared war against a foreign nation like Libya?


What if the U.S. Congress who has the only authority to declare war after the Emergency War Powers Act limits have passed wanted to ask questions of the U.S. Secretary of Defense?


What if Barack Obama had appointed Leon Panetta to be the United States Secretary of Defense and then the Secretary of Defense stated that the United Nations and N.A.T.O. agreements and laws superseded the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Constitution?



What if the actions, agreements, or orders made by the person occupying the presidency to any one or any foreign nation as the legal representative of the American people were void because a fraud was perpetrated on the American people by an illegal immigrant and his conspirators and therefore he can not be the president?


What if failure to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution by any of these conspirators occurred during a time of war?

What if TREASON has occurred?

What if motions in the form of resolutions were brought before the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to begin Impeachment proceedings against Barack Obama and Leon Panetta for failure to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution and for violating the U.S. Constitution but none of the privately-owned major media reported this news?


What if by being subservient to the United Nations and N.A.T.O. the United States lost its' sovereignty and its' Citizens lost their sovereignty?

What if the Posse Comitatus Act which became law were suspended and U.S. Armed forces were stationed within US. borders to carry out operations against U.S. Citizens?

What if The Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence meant nothing to the United Nations peacekeeping and German troops assigned to NorthCom and practiced house to house searches for firearms of any type?


What if Dr. Ron Paul who knows the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution are the only authority upon which our Nation is based, is not allowed because of election fraud to become the next President?

What if... What if... What if... What if... What if... What if... What if...
What if... the ends justify the means?

Short of Poison Tipped Darts

Little Barry has problems and issues, just one is regarding his eligibility issue as President. The tangled tale weaves into and around various people that have names that appear more than once.

In 2000 and 2004, the wording in the official certification:

"This is to certify that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution and are the duly chosen candidates of both the state's and the national Democratic Parties by balloting at the Presidential Preference Poll and Caucus held _____ in the State of Hawaii and by acclamation at the National Democratic Convention held ______ in _______."

In 2008 the wording of the certification of the Hawaii Democratic Party read differently:

"This is to certify that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the national Democratic Parties balloting at the Presidential Preferences Poll and Caucus held on February 19, 2008 in the State of Hawaii and by acclamation at the National Democratic Convention held August 27, 2008 in Denver, Colorado."

The 2008 certification of Obama left out these words: “of the United States Constitution and are the duly chosen candidates of both the state and...”

Nancy Pelosi chairperson of the DNC declared and then certified Little Barry (BHO) legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the national Democratic Parties balloting at the Presidential Preferences Poll and Caucus. A confrontation broke out when Kevin Cronin, Chief Elections Officer, Hawaiian Office of Elections, sent a letter stating "Little Barry" was not qualified to be on the ballot for the 2008 presidential Election, and Brian Schatz Chairman of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, refused to take corrective action. The dead lock was broken when Hawaii refused to certify Little Barry as a presidential candidate, and a woman, Elena Kagan, signed the papers for him to be certified to run for President.

By omitting these critical words, The Democratic Party of Hawaii said that Little Barry is not bound by The Constitution of the United States. It also follows that Little Barry therefore does not have to be a Natural born Citizen, in fact he does not have to be a U.S. citizen of any kind, (not to serve as) but to be president of the United States, if he was elected. It is also of interest to note that although most Democratic Electoral College electors were aware of this Hawaii eligibility issue, not one elector raised an objection. On January 6th, 2009, when Congress voted to certify the election by the Electoral College, not one congressman chose to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, as was their duty, and question the state of Hawaii's certification. It should have astounded the public how they all just fall in line. No questioning. No objectivity. No digging into Little Barry's past, but the privately-owned major media was not reporting any of this nationally. By that point in time, most if not all of Congress, believed the problem could not possibly have merit because no one could have gotten that far into the election process without red flags being raised and waived by the privately-owned major media.

On January 20, 2009, at 12:00 PM Little Barry attempted to take the oath of office on the Bible that Abraham Lincoln used for his first inauguration in 1861, but repeated some of the words twice and supposedly broke the concentration of Chief Justice John G. Roberts. He did not take the oath properly and correctly on Inauguration Day. On Wednesday Jan 21, 2009, in a private ceremony, Little Barry took the oath of office on the Qur'an and swore to God (Allah) in front of Chief Justice John G. Roberts. See:  Why John Roberts (likely) Protecting Obama Care!

The Deed was done, but if every state signed the form the Democratic Party provided, then there isn't a single state that did certify that Little Barry is constitutionally eligible to be President. They would all be guilty of collusion in a real legal conspiracy of national proportion and should be charged both collectively and singly with failure to uphold and defend the Constitution and conspiracy to commit treason against the People of the United States of America during a time of War (pick one), as well as treason. The DNC (Democratic Party) kept the original document and made a different one to send to the states for them to sign. This is no magician's hat trick, this is a Coup d'etat by the DNC (Democratic Party) to illegally install an ineligible person by illegally certifying falsified documents in order to take over the Presidency and install single party rule.

On January 26, 2009, Little Barry, as President, appointed Elana Kagan Solicitor General, and while working in that capacity she was heavily involved in policy discussions on how to make sure Little Barry's Health Care Plan (Obamacare) passed through Congress as emails now reveal. It is now in question as to why the emails were not released at Kagan’s Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings during June of 2010.

On May 10, 2010, Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy from the impending retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens. After Senate confirmation, Elana Kagan was sworn in on August 7, 2010, by Chief Justice John G. Roberts. Elana Kagan's formal investiture ceremony before a special sitting of the United States Supreme Court took place on October 1, 2010.

She has to decide whether her role as Little Barry's Solicitor General at the time the law was drawn up and passed could be seen as an unacceptable conflict of interest. The law says, “Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” It goes on to say they should also quit a case “where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party.”

Justice Kagan, herself, is now responsible for making the decision whether or not she should recuse herself from the case when the Supreme Court hears challenges to President Barry's signature law next spring. A decision on the constitutionality of the law is expected by late June or July, just in time for the two political parties’ National Conventions.

“No justice wants to say that he or she didn't have prior contact with the case only to be proven wrong in the near future. No Justice is going to try and pull a fast one, especially in today’s high tech society where the truth will eventually be found out.”

-Russell Wheeler, visiting fellow, the Brookings Institute
