History That Must Be Told!
Part 25

CHANGE - CHANGE - CHANGE

Barack Obama and John McCain kept talking about CHANGE during their 2008 campaign for President. Obama is the one in a position to make the changes. But doesn’t he have to be the legitimate President first?

Electors were sworn to uphold the Presidential vote in the Electoral College last December 15th 2008. They first must know for sure that the candidate meets the Constitutional requirements for the office of President, beginning with being a natural born citizen. Will they inquire?

Legitimate President?

That is what Philip J. Berg has asked the United States Supreme Court to verify. The Supreme Court has asked for a response from Senator Barack Obama, along with the Democratic National Committee and Federal Elections Commission. They had until December 1st to respond. Other cases have been filed asking for the same thing – a legal birth certificate proving the place of birth for President Barack Obama. He did not comply, so the court would not review the case! But we will!!!

Obama says he is qualified. But Berg, multiple legal suits and a growing number of American citizens are saying: “Prove it!” This is a basic, vital, and Constitutional request. Why won’t Obama answer such a simple request by producing a birth certificate?

President Barack Obama

Exhibit A: The Grandmother’s tape. Barack Obama’s own grandmother said he was born in Kenya. While politicians are known for it, grandmothers seldom lie. It’s recorded on tape: “I was in the delivery room in [Mombosa] Kenya, when he was born Aug. 4, 1961” – Sarah Obama, Obama’s paternal grandmother.

Exhibit B: No Original Birth Certificate. Experts have called the Certification of Live Birth posted online a forgery. Berg reported “It’s clearly been altered,” which invalidates it, according to the document itself.

Exhibit C: Indonesian citizenship.

Only Indonesian citizens could attend Indonesian schools at the time Barack Obama attended the Indonesian school where he was registered as Barry Soetoro. His citizenship was listed as Indonesian, his religion as Islam, and his father as Lolo Soetoro, M.A. There was also no dual citizenship at the time. If Obama was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather, he would have forfeited any U.S. citizenship he may have had, just as when a child is adopted in America, he or she becomes an American.

Exhibit D: U.S. Law. In addition, according to U.S. law pertaining to births abroad, from “Dec. 24, 1952 to Nov. 13, 1986,” in order to register the child’s birth as a U.S. natural-born citizen at the time of Obama’s birth, he or she must be: 1. Born to two U.S. citizen parents; or, 2. If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of the birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least 10 years, at least five of which must be after the age of 14.

Since Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen and Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time of his birth, she failed to meet legal requirements of U.S. residency for at least five years after the age of 14.

If we are willing to ignore the Constitutional requirements for the highest office in our land, what else are we willing to forgo? Is it the part about freedom of speech? Or is it Freedom of the press? Or is it Freedom of religion?

The United States Constitution Article II, Section I includes these words:

“No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.”Peter Ogego

Monday, November 22, 2008 Kenyan Ambassador to the United States, His Excellency Peter Ogego, Admits Obama Born in Kenya!

Kenyan Ambassador Peter Nicholas Rateng’ Oginga Ogego appears to be finding himself in hot water both in Washington and in Kenya.

However, that hot water is not due to his on-air comments to Detroit’s WRIF 101 FM “Mike in the Morning” program regarding Barack Obama’s Kenyan birthplace. The hot water is due to Ambassador Ogego’s stinging criticism of Senator Barack Obama before Mr. Peter Oginga Ogego officially became Kenya’s Ambassador to the United States on September 5, 2006 and two years prior to Barack Obama’s victory in the U.S. Presidential election.

Mr. Ogego’s criticism of Senator Obama was as follows according to the Kenyan Daily Nation newspaper:

“You deliberately, without real cause or reason, other than what appears to be to seek cheap publicity and inconsequential populism, chose to publicly attack the democratically elected Government of Kenya, in total disregard for the requisite protocol and acceptable methods to address the issues you raised, what with programmed appointments to meet Cabinet ministers and even the Head of State, since your visit was official.”

In 2006, speaking as a Kenyan citizen, Mr. Ogego was rightfully incensed at Barack Obama’s insertion of himself into Kenyan politics as well as Barack Obama’s uncalled for attack on the democratically elected Government of Kenya during an official visit to the country. This blatant interference in Kenyan politics occurred when Obama was in Kenya to campaign and provide financial support to his cousin, Raila Odinga, a Communist, prior to the violence that was deliberately set in motion by the Odinga camp when he lost the election.

During the radio program on November 22, 2008 on Detroit’s WRIF 101 FM “Mike in the Morning,” a decision was made to make a phone call to the Kenyan Embassy in Washington, D.C. During the course of the call, Mike and co-host Trudy were connected to the Ambassador’s Paternal Grandmother

office. After a short conversation with a secretary of the Ambassador, Peter Ogego picked up the phone.Mike’s co-host asked the Ambassador, “President-elect Obama’s birthplace over in Kenya, is that going to be a national spot to go visit, where he was born?” Ambassador Ogego responded, “It’s, um, already an attraction. His, his, uh, paternal grandmother is still alive…”

Mike’s co-host then interjects, “But his birthplace, they’ll put up a marker there?”

Ambassador Ogego responds, “It depends on the government, it’s already well known.”

Kenyan Ambassador Peter Ogego had just announced to the whole world on live radio that our President-elect, Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya, his birthplace is already an attraction, and placing a marker is up to the Kenyan government. The location of his birthplace is already well known, intimating the location does not need anything further to distinguish it.

This admission is a confirmation of the multiple statements made by Obama’s paternal grandmother referenced by Ambassador Ogego, about Obama’s Kenyan birthplace. The Supreme Court of the United States refused to review the facts, on December 5, 2008, concerning his legitimate birth records, which means Obama is their man to take us fully into the New World Order!

The Bulletin

Philadephia’s Family Newspaper Thursday, December 4, 2008 By John P. Connolly

“Controversy continues to surround President-elect Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as president, and a case involving his birth waits for its day before the U.S. Supreme Court. A constitutional lawyer said were it to be discovered that Mr. Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, ‘it would have grave consequences for the nation.’

“According to the Constitution, a president must be a natural born citizen of the U.S. Mr. Obama’s critics have failed to force him legally to produce his original birth certificate, and Mr. Obama has resisted any attempt to make him do so. Currently, only Hawaii Department of Health Officials have access to Mr. Obama’s original records.

“Some of Mr. Obama’s critics said he was born in Kenya and have claimed he is a citizen of Kenya, Indonesia, or even a British subject.

“ Edwin Vieira, a constitutional lawyer who has practiced for 30 years and holds four degrees from Harvard, said if it were to be discovered [that] Mr. Obama were not eligible for the presidency, it would cause many problems. They would be compounded if his ineligibility were discovered after he had been in office for a period of time.

“‘Let’s assume he wasn’t born in the U.S.,’ Mr. Vieira told The Bulletin. ‘What’s the consequence? He will not be eligible. That means he cannot be elected validly [by the Electorial College]. The people and the Electorial College cannot overcome this and the House of Representativescan’t make him president. So what’s the next step? He takes the oath of office, and assuming he’s aware he’s not a citizen, then it’s a PERJURED oath.’

“Any appointments made by an ineligible president would have to be recalled, and their decisions would be invalidated.

“‘He may have nominated people to different positions; he may have nominated people to the judicial branch, who may have been confirmed, they may have gone out on executive duty and done various things. The people that he’s put into the judicial branch may have decided cases, and all of that needs to be unzipped,’ said Mr. Vieira.

“Mr. Vieira said Obama supporters should be the ones concerned about the case, because Mr. Obama’s platform would be discredited if he were forced to step down from the presidency later due to ineligibility, were it to be discovered.

“Mr. Vieira said Mr. Obama’s continued silence and avoidance in the release of his birth certificate is an ETHICAL [moral] issue because of the dire consequences that could be caused by a possible constitutional crisis.

“‘If he were my client and this question came up in civil litigation, if there was some reason that his birth status was relevant and the other side wanted him to produce the thing, and he said NO, I would tell him, ‘you have about 15 minutes to produce it or sign the papers necessary to produce the document, or I’m resigning as your attorney. I don’t think any ethical attorney would go ahead on the basis that his client could produce an objective document in civil litigation [and refused to do so],’ said Mr. Vieira.

“Further, Mr. Vieira cited a fraud ruling in a 1977 case called U.S. vs Prudden, which he feels applies in this case.

“‘Silence can only be equated with fraud when there is a legal and moral duty to speak or when an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading,’ the ruling reads. ‘We cannot condone this shocking conduct ... If that is the case, we hope our message is clear. This sort of DECEPTION will not be tolerated and if this is routine it should be corrected immediately.’

“Mr. Vieira said such an ethical question of representing a client who refused to produce such a basic document is important, even in a small civil case. The current question is concerning the man who potentially could have his finger next to the nuclear button.

“‘[The birth certificate], in theory, should be there,’ said Mr. Vieira. ‘What if it isn’t? Who knows, aside from Mr. Obama?” Does Russian intelligence know it isn’t there? Does Chinese intelligence know it isn’t there? Does the CIA know that it isn’t there? Who is in a position to blackmail this fellow?’

“Mr. Vieira explained [that] all laws have to be submitted to the president. In the event that there is no valid president, then all laws passed by Congress in that administration would be legally null and void. Because of that, this case will probably not go away, even after Mr. Obama

takes the oath of office. “‘If you don’t produce it [the birth certificate], you think it’s going to go away,’he said. ‘There are all these cases challenging Mr. Obama, and some challenging secretaries of state, and they run into this doctrine called

“Mr. Vieira explained [that] although legal standing is difficult to get around in Federal courts, the document could be produced in any criminal cases stemming from legislation passed in the Obama administration.

“‘Let’s assume that an Obama administration passes some of these controversial pieces of legislation he has been promising to go for, like the Freedom of Choice Act. I would assume that some of those surely will have some severe civil or criminal penalties attached to them for violation.

You are now the criminal defendant under this statute, which was passed by an Obama Congress and signed by President Obama. You now have a

right, and I have never heard this challenged, to subpoena in a criminal case, ANYONE who has relevant evidence relating to your defenses. And you can subpoena them duces tecum, meaning you shall bring with you the documents.’

“Further, records could be subpoenaed directly, in the case of a birth certificate. Once the record could be subpoenaed, the birth certificate could be examined by forensic experts, who would then be able to testify to the document’s veracity as expert witnesses. Any movement by the judges to make a special exception to the president in a criminal case would hurt the legitimacy of that presidential administration.

“‘I can’t believe I’m the only lawyer who would think of this. I think any criminal lawyer defending against one of these politically charged statutes is going to come up with this. That means it will never go away until that document [birth certificate] is laid down on the table and people say, yes, there it is. And therefore they’re caught. If people keep challenging this and the judges out of fear keep saying no, go to jail, go to jail, go to jail, then that’s the end of the Obama administration’s legitimacy. On the other hand if they open the file and it’s [birth certificate] not there, than that’s really the end of the administration’s legitimacy,’ Mr. Vieira said.

“Several court cases in the birth certificate controversy are waiting admission to the Supreme Court.”

“I, Bishop Ron McRae, am over the age of eighteen (18) and not a party to the within action. If called to do so, I could and would competently testify under oath as follows:

“I am the Continental Bishop who overseas the Anabaptists Churches in North America. I am also the Presiding Elder on the African Presbytery, where we have numerous churches throughout Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and mission works to several other African nations. The African Presbytery is comprised of the national bishops of the various countries we minister in and support, along with our statewide bishops from New York and Pennsylvania.

“We actively visit and minister throughout these African countries, and do so extensively throughout all of Keyna these last three (3) years. In overseeing the establishment of our churches and presbytery to Kenya over the last two (2) years, we have had personal dealings, continually, with many citizens of Kenya from every tribe and economic standing throughout the wonderful nation of Kenya, with whom the national interests in United States Senator Barack Hussein Obama is a very popular topic of discussion. The tribal cultures of the Kenyanese people have involved much turmoil during the national elections at the end of December 2007 and the beginning of 2008.

“The much published violence that erupted over the presidential elections caught the world’s attention. Myself and several American ministers with our church were present during this time in Kenya, and the facts concerning this strife and the ensuing violence were well known, and of common knowledge throughout all of Kenya.

“The opposition party that was responsible for ALL of the violence was from the minority Luo tribe, which is a Muslim tribe that supported Mr. Raila Odinga for president. Raila Odinga is a Marxist socialist who graduated from the East German Magdeburg University in 1970 on a scholarship from the East German government. He named his first born son after Fidel Castro. Raila Odinga spent six years in prison for his admitted involvement in the bloody coup attempt in 1982 to over take and assassinate Daniel Arap Moi, Kenya’s President. Mr. Odinga has publicly admitted to being the leader of that coup (1982) in his 2006 campaign.

“Mr. Odinga is the COUSIN of United States Senator [now president] Barack Obama. Mr. Obama is from the SAME Muslim tribe, the Luo Tribe, as Mr. Odinga. Senator Obama visited Kenya in August of 2006 and campaigned extensively for his (Marxist) cousin, Mr. Odinga, which gave Mr. Obama a tremendous boost. During Senator Obama’s campaign stops on behalf of his cousin Odinga, the Senator made numerous claims against the democratic government of Kenya and Kenya’s President Mwai Kibaki, claiming they were corrupt, stating often, that Kenya was ‘READY FOR CHANGE,’

“It is detailed in Odinga’s financial reports and strategies of ODM Internal Memo documents, attached as Exhibit ‘2,’ which are public records, that a significant portion of Senator (now President) Obama’s financial contributions, made through an organization identified as Friends of Senator Barack Obama, were USED to help finance both the signed Muslim Memorandum of Understanding as well as the planned violence, murders and bloodshed that occurred in December of 2007. Within the ODM Internal Memo attached as Exhibit ‘2,’ the funds donated by Mr. Obama through ‘Friends of Senator Barack Obama’ were to be used for ‘Violence as a last result ... to discourage voter participation in hostile areas ... use ODM agents on the ground to engineer ethnic tensions in target areas ... support Kapondi’s forces in Mt. Eglori,’ and to do so during ‘Mid-December.’ Unfortunately, the exact violence described in these reports was carried out and occurred at the beginning of the second week of December 2007.

ODM Forces in Kenya

“Additionally, it is common knowledge throughout BOTH Christian and Muslim communities in Kenya, that contrary to news media propaganda in the United States, U.S. Senator Barack Obama IS A MUSLIM AND NOT A CHRISTIAN, and that he was born in Mombasa, Kenya and not in the State of Hawaii as falsely purported by the Obama campaign for presidency of the United States. Mr. Obama’s cousin ran his failed campaign for the Kenyan presidency in the identical fashion of Senator Obama’s American campaign strategy, and that being to join a nominal Christian Church in order to publicly profess to be a Christian, while maintaining their actual Muslim beliefs, in order to sway public opinion away from the actual FACT of his strong Muslim beliefs, family and goals. It is a known fact that membership in the United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Barack Obama

Trinity United Church of Christ

was a member, does not require muslims to renounce their Islamic faith in order to join the UCC. Throughout Kenya, it is and was well publicized in the media that a Memorandum of Understanding agreement, attached as Exhibit ‘3,’ between Raila Odinga and Shiek Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, was signed by Odinga on August 29, 2007, in which Raila Odinga promised if elected to implement drastic changes, including but not limited to the following:

-Recognize ‘Islam as the only true religion.’

-Islamic leaders would have an oversight rule to monitor activities of ALL other religions.

-Installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction to implement Islamic law.

Implement a BAN on Christian preaching. “Because of the seriousness of all of the above, as a Christi and a citizen of the United States, this preacher could no longer sit idly by knowing these things and continue to minister in both Kenya and the United States. As the presiding bishop over the Continental Presbytery of Africa, I authorized representatives within our church to locate and interview Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama, the actual grandmother of U.S. Senator Barack Obama [at that time, not president]. Ms. Sarah Obama lives in the Alego-Kogello, approximately 37 miles from Kisumu, where the Anabaptists have a congregation, and where this preacher has preached several times prior to the elections in 2007, and prior to the planned violence from the Odinga supporters, which erupted.

“With Senator Obama being born in Kenya and not in the United States, he is not a ‘natural born’ citizen, and it prohibits him from being eligible to run for and/or serve as President of the United States. Since Senator Obama’s birth was reportedly in 1961, birth records may or may not be available. I felt it very important to obtain the testimony of his grandmother as a first hand witness, since it is commonly known throughout Kenya, and especially around the Kisamu area, that Sarah Obama was present when Barack Obama, Jr. was born in Kenya.

See my phone record attached as Exhibit ‘5.’ Mr. Shududia called me first

on October 16th at 10:33am and advised that he was with Sarah Hussein Obama and that she wanted to speak with me, but the connection was lost. He called me right back at 10:35am, and he informed me that there were several hundred people present, celebrating Obama’s success. I questioned him about the format of the phone call and conversation with Ms. Obama. I then informed him that I would call him right back, so it would not cost him international charges for the call. I called him back at 10:40am and public music and voices could be heard [from those] that were gathered around Kweli Shuhudia. I then spoke with him and requested that they utilize the speaker phone so everyone could hear.

“The speaker phone with its open microphone was utilized with Mr. Shuhudia. Mr. Vatalis Alec Ogombe, the Kogelo Community chairman, assisted in the translation work. Ms. Sarah Obama, along with several hundred people, including policemen were listening to the open conversation between the four of us for approximately 15 minutes. Mr. Vo is also the step grandson of Ms. Obama, and the cousin of Barack Obama. A third unknown party could be heard periodically interjecting both Swahili and English words in the public discussion and conversation between the four of us. At times, the room noise from other people’s voices made some of the swahili difficult to hear, and towards the end of the conversation several men’s voices were heard that are not identified. As I talked to and questioned Ms. Obama over the open microphone, they would translate what I said to her in Swahili publicly, and they would translate her Swahili responses to me publicly in English. Ms. Obama can fluently speak Swahili in her native dialect, but cannot read or write. In the ensuing public conversation, I asked Ms. Obama specifically, “Were you present when your grandson Barack Obama was born in Kenya?” This was asked to her in translation twice, and both times she specifically replied, ‘Yes! Yes she was! She was present when Obama was born.’ ... Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama was very adament that her grandson, Senator Bark Obama, was born in Kenya, and that she was present and witnessed his birth in Kenya, not the United States. When Mr. Ogombe attempted to counter Sarah Obamas clear responses to the question, verifying the birth of Senator Barack Obama in Kenya, I asked Mr. Ogombe how she could be present at Barack Obama’s birth if the Senator was born in Hawaii, but Ogombe would not answer the question. Instead he repeatedly tried to insert that, “No, No, No, He was born in the United States!” During the conversation, Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama never changed her reply that she was indeed present when Senator Barack Obama was born in Kenya. A transcript of this taped public interview is attached as Exhibit ‘6.’ Mr. Shuhudia took photographs during the open conversations and interview with Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama...

“Because of the seriousness of the political situation and the impact of such on a United States Presidential election, and because of the factual reality of tremendous violence in Kenya towards Christians, especially in the immediate area of Kisumu, where both Sarah Hussein Obama and Rev. Kweli Shuhudia live, it is requested that all reasonable and legal steps be taken to secure Rev. Kweli Shuhudia’s identity to the Federal Court alone in order to protect his life and safety for being willing to provide this very important assistance in gathering this testimony and evidence to be used in any Federal litigation.
