History That Must Be Told!
Part 21
CHANGE - CHANGE - CHANGE
By David J. Smith
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?
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.”

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 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!

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 Representatives can’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.
“‘Let’s say we go a year into this process, and it all turns out to be a flim-flam. What’s the nation’s reaction to that? What’s going to be the reaction in the next U.S. election? God knows. It has almost revolutionary consequences, if you think about it,’ said Mr. Vieira.
“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
standing.’
“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..........
