Chavez’s Venezuela: Obama and Ayers

Obama May Use Chavez as Test for Talking With Foes

Now tell me, why is there no mention in that article of Obama’s “Family Friend” Bill Ayers and his four trips to Venezuela?

William Ayers travelled to Venezuela and spoke at the World Education Forum in November 2006. His comments began and ended with this [emphasis mine]:

President Hugo Chavez, Vice-President Vicente Rangel, Ministers Moncada and Isturiz, invited guests, comrades. I’m honored and humbled to be here with you this morning. I bring greetings and support from your brothers and sisters throughout Northamerica. Welcome to the World Education Forum! Amamos la revolucion Bolivariana!

This is my fourth visit to Venezuela, each time at the invitation of my comrade and friend Luis Bonilla, a brilliant educator and inspiring fighter for justice. Luis has taught me a great deal about the Bolivarian Revolution and about the profound educational reforms underway here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution…

…we, too, must build a project of radical imagination and fundamental change. Venezuela is poised to offer the world a new model of education– a humanizing and revolutionary model whose twin missions are enlightenment and liberation. This World Education Forum provides us a unique opportunity to develop and share the lessons and challenges of this profound educational project that is the Bolivarian Revolution.

Viva Mission Sucre!
Viva Presidente Chavez!
Viva La Revolucion Bolivariana!
Hasta La Victoria Siempre!

Truth: Those last four lines are roughly translated:

Long Live Mission Sucre!
Long Live President Chavez!
Long Live the Bolivarian Revolution!
Until the Victory Always!

UPDATE:

Do we really want Obama,
who advocates changing the Constitution:

“a charter of negative liberties says what the states can’t do to you or what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf“

meeting with Chavez,
who says the U.S. needs a new constitution?

UPDATE: Why Does Venezuela Have Ties To Our Elections?

April 17th UPDATE:
Obama visits Chavez…At least he didn’t bow

November 20, 2010 UPDATE: Obama Jokes About Diverting Air Force One to Visit Hugo Chavez

Trust, But Verify

Our Senators and Representatives in Congress are trusting two things:

1) Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961.

2) Barack Hussein Obama II’s British citizenship at birth, which he openly admits he received from his British subject father, does not prevent him from being a “natural born citizen” of the United States.

I respectfully ask all Senators and Representatives to Trust, but Verify those two things:

1) Ask to see the orginal vault CertificatE of Live Birth (not the 2007 CertificatION of Live Birth) delivered directly from the State of Hawaii, not the Obama campaign.  Verify that Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961.

2) Ask the Supreme Court to rule on the definition of “natural born citizen”.  I.e., does the Supreme Court define “natural born citizen” the way Vattel did in 1758, the founders did in 1787 when they wrote Article II Section 1, and the way the author of the 14th Amendment did when he wrote the 14th Amendment?  That is, is it a requirement for both of your parents to be citizens of the United States at the time of your birth in order for you to be considered a “natural born citizen”.

natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

All Senators and Representatives have sworn an oath of office, before God and man, to support and defend the Constitution of the United Sates.  That includes supporting and defending this section of the 20th Amendment:

if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

It is the President elect’s responsibility to prove that they qualify. 

It is Barack Hussein Obama II’s responsibility to prove, via his original vault long-form CertificatE of Live Birth, that he was born on U.S. soil. 

It is  the Senators and Representatives responsibility to verify that official form, and not “outsource” this responsibility to a third party who misrepresented key facts and examined a different document (a CertificatION of Live Birth) produced by THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN OFFICE, NOT THE STATE OF HAWAII.

Again, all Senators and Representatives have sworn an oath of office, before God and man, to support and defend the Constitution of the United Sates.  They have a sworn duty to Trust, but Verify, the qualifications of the President elect:

1) Ask to see the orginal vault CertificatE of Live Birth (not the 2007 CertificatION of Live Birth) delivered directly from the State of Hawaii, not the Obama campaign.  Verify that Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961.

2) Ask the Supreme Court to rule on the definition of “natural born citizen”.  I.e., is it a requirement for both of your parents to be citizens of the United States at the time of your birth in order for you to be considered a “natural born citizen”.  If it is, Barack Hussein Obama II has already admitted that he does not meet this qualification.

“Доверяй, но проверяй … Trust, but Verify.”

Fact Checking Annenberg Political Fact Check

Annenberg Political Fact Check (www.FactCheck.org) claims that:

FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate

and

The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu.

Both of those statements are NOT TRUE!

An ”original birth certificate” (CertificatE of Live Birth) looks very different from a laser-printed CertificatION of Live Birth.  They are TWO VERY DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS:

Note that field 7c on a CertificatE of Live Birth says:

County and State or Foreign Country

So yes, it is possible to have an original birth certificate on file in Hawaii and have been born outside of the U.S.!

The document that “FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed” was NOT the “original birth certificate” (CertifcatE of Live Birth).  And it is unethical to claim it was.

They examined a CertificatION of Live Birth, and they examined it

at the Obama headquarters in Chicago

It is wrong to just blindly accept that this document came from the State of Hawaii (rather than the Obama campaign), and given that FactCheck got their facts wrong (it was NOT the original birth certificatE) no one should assume that it came from the state of Hawaii. 

No Hawaiian official has ever verified that the document at the Obama headquarters in Chicago is authentic.

In regard to the second claim:

The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu.

Dr. Chiyome Fukino, in her statement released October 31, 2008 NEVER confirmed that Obama was born in Honolulu.

In addition, Dr. Fukino:

NEVER claimed that the CertificatION of Live Birth (presented on Daily KOS, Fight the Smears, and Factcheck.org) is valid,

and NEVER claimed that the data on the CertificatION of Live Birth matches the data found on the original Birth CertificatE that Dr. Fukino has on record.

 Dr. Fukino never said Obama was born in Hawaii.  Dr. Fukino never verified the document that the Obama campaign produced. 

The information that Annenberg Political Fact Check presents as Obama’s “original birth certificate” is not that at all, and what they present has never been verified by Hawaiian officials in any way, shape, or form.

Again, the CertificatE and the CertificatION are two different documents, and there has been a LOT of misinformation spread by the so-called Mainstream Media. 

People have been misled to believe things that are simply not true.

Annenberg Political Fact Check is wrong to claim that they have examined a document they never examined (the original birth certificate).

Annenberg Political Fact Check is wrong to claim that the director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Obama’s birth location (something she never confirmed).

Annenberg Political Fact Check cannot be trusted as a an “authority” to authenticate Obama’s birth documentation. Especially when Obama himself has prior ties to Annenberg (he was the chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge).

Too many Senators and Representatives wrongly believe the following UNTRUTHS:

1) Being born on US soil is sufficient to be a “natural born citizen” (It’s NOT – you must be “born in the country, of parents who are citizens”)

2) The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu. (She DIDN’T)

3) Fact Check verified that the “original birth certificate” from the State of Hawaii (They DIDN’T…they verified the “CertificatION of Live Birth” from the Obama campaign).

Wake up, Neo…

UPDATE August 11, 2009:
In the last month, Dr. Fukino did say that Obama was born in Hawaii… but she did not say which “Vital Record” was used to make that statement. It could have been nothing more than the sworn statement of an Obama relative (for example, his mother, or one of his grandparents). Even in her update, Dr. Fukino did not claim that the COLB produced at and by the Obama campaign headquarters is authentic, nor that it matches information in any Vital Record they have on file in Hawaii.

TexasDarlin has a great new post up: FactCheck.Org: A Real Fact-Checker??

“Son of This Soil”

New Lawsuit Worth Reading

Plaintiffs *, *, and * all served proudly in the United States military and were honorably discharged from active duty status subject to recall. On entering the service, these men swore a solemn oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” and to “bear true faith and allegiance to the same” and to “obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.” So help them God. At all times in the past, they have faithfully served their country consistent with this sacred oath. And while it is true that, the Uniform Code of Military Justice metes out penalties for failure to carry out the mandates of this oath; this threat of adverse consequences is not what has motivated these men to put their lives on the line for their country. Rather, it was their deep abiding faith in our Constitutional Republic that formed the basis of this allegiance. However, on January 20, 2009, assuming that Defendant Barack Hussein Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, Plaintiffs’ faith and allegiance will be tested as never before.  Because having closely monitored events related to this latest election cycle, they now share grave concerns as to whether he is eligible for the job…

Dear Senator/Representative

Dear Senator/Representative,

1) You have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

2) The Constitution makes a distinction between “natural born Citizen” and mere “Citizen”, and requires that modern-day Presidential candidates be a natural born citizen:

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;

3) The 14th Amendment only speaks to who is a “citizen”, not who is a “natural born citizen”.   The 14th Amendment does not lower the requirement to be eligible to the Office of President from “natural born citizen” to mere “citizen”.  

4) It is incorrect to assume that “natural born citizen” means “citizen born in the United States”.   The 1787 signers of the Constitution understood “natural born Citizen” as it was defined by natural law and described in the 1758 book:

The Law of Nations, or Principles of The Law of Nature applied to the conduct and affairs of Nations and Sovereigns, Book 1, Sections 212 and 215:

§ 212. Citizens and natives.

… natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. … children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. … The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children … in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

…

§ 215. Children of citizens born in a foreign country.

It is asked whether the children born of citizens in a foreign country are citizens? The laws have decided this question in several countries, and their regulations must be followed.(59) By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); the place of birth produces no change in this particular …

Again, the 14th Amendment does not speak to who is a natural born citizen, it only speaks to who is a citizen.  Qualifying as a citizen under the 14th Amendment does not automatically qualify someone as a natural born citizen.  One must look at the citizenship of the parents, as well as birth location, to determine if someone qualifies as a natural born citizen.

Divorce records showthat Barack Hussein Obama married Stanley Ann Dunham Obama on February 2, 1961 and Barack Hussein Obama II was born August 4, 1961.   Barack Hussein Obama  was never a United States citizen.  He was first a British subject, and later a citizen of Kenya. 

By Natural Law, The Law of Nations, and The British Nationality Act of 1948, British citizenship was passedfrom the father, Barack Hussein Obama, to his son, Barack Hussein Obama II. 

Barack Hussein Obama II’s own campaign admits this at http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate

As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Natural-born citizens are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.

To be a natural born citizen of the United States, three conditions must be met:
1) Born “in the country” (on U.S. soil).
2) Born to a father who is a U.S. citizen.
3) Born to a mother who is a U.S. citizen.

If any one of those conditions is not met, then the person is not a natural born citizen of the United States, and they are not eligible to hold the office of President of the United States and Commander in Chief of all of our Armed Forces.

Barack Hussein Obama II fails to meet the second condition (his father was not a United States citizen). He may also fail to meet the first condition (more evidence exists to show that he was born in Kenya than exists to show he was born in Hawaii), but that is superfluous. Barack Hussein Obama II is conclusively ineligible because he fails to meet the second condition, regardless of whether or not he meets the first condition.

It is the sworn duty of every Senator and Representative to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.  It is the sworn duty of every Senator and Representative to support the Article II Section 1 Constitutional requirement that our President be a natural born citizen of the United States, that is, born on United States territory to parents who are both United States citizens.  It is the sworn duty of every Senator and Representative to object to the election of any candidate who does not meet this Constitutional requirement.  It is the sworn duty of every Senator and Representative to object to the election of Barack Hussein Obama II, who was born a British citizen to a British father.

It is inexcusable to shirk your responsibility and claim that “it is up to the courts to decide” if they agree with the notion that the 14th Amendment, combined with a presumed Hawaiian birth, make Barack Hussein Obama II a “natural born citizen”.

OK, Speaker Pelosi, How Did the DNC Certify Obama’s Eligibility?

Nancy Pelosi and the DNC sent an Official Certification of Nomination to the Secretary of State in each of the 50 states.  Most of those certifications merely certified that Obama and Biden had been nominated.  Hawaii is different.  Hawaii requires that the party ALSO certify that the nominees are legally qualified, under the provisions of the United States Constitution, to serve in those offices.

Here is what Nancy Pelosi and the DNC sent to the Hawaiian Secretary of State:

OK, Speaker Pelosi, How Did the DNC Certify Obama’s Eligibility?

The Constitution requires that Obama be a natural born citizen:

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;

John Sydney McCain III fails to meet the first condition (he was born on Panamanian soil, not U.S. soil).  It is a lie to say that McCain was born at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone. He was not.  While the Certificate of Birth below says “The Panama Canal Health Department”, it shows that McCain was born at Colón Hospital in the city of Colón, Republic of Panama (R. P.).  The city of Colón was not in the Panama Canal Zone and was not U.S. soil.

Barack Hussein Obama II fails to meet the second condition (his father was not a United States citizen). He may also fail to meet the first condition (more evidence exists to show that he was born in Kenya than exists to show he was born in Hawaii), but that is superfluous. BHOII is already conclusively ineligible because he fails to meet the second condition, regardless of whether or not he meets the first condition.

So given that, I repeat my question:
Speaker Pelosi, How Did the DNC “Certify” Obama’s Eligibility?

Update:  Pelosi + Haiku = Pelosiku

“O” eligible?
Natural Born Citizen?
Pelosi said so.

Would Pelosi lie?
Why would she ever do that?
“Son of this soil”.

UPDATE:  Pelosi and Obama share a tender moment after Obama supposedly signed Obamcare into law and handed Nancy one of the signing pens…

… except it’s not really law, because Obama is not Constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President, so his signature on that bill means nothing.

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.”

- Obama’s “Fight The Smears” entry about his birth

[Which, by the way, shows a forged CertificatION of Live Birth, not an authentic, original CertificatE of Live Birth.

Obama’s own web site lied and called this forged CertificatION (which was neither released by, nor ever verified by, the State of Hawaii) Obama’s “Official Birth CertificatE”.]

The Unqualified President-Elect Was Indeed Born In KENYA!!!

Ed Hale on Plains Radio Network has the Stanley Ann Dunham – Barack Hussein Obama Sr. divorce papers (not to be confused with the previously released Stanley Ann Dunham – Lolo Soetoro divorce papers) and guess what?

Ed says it proves Barack Hussein Obama II was indeed born in KENYA!

Here’s page 1, Ed says he’ll release more at 8pm CST tonight.

Update: Here is the link to the Dunham – Obama divorce order.  It serves to prove that Barack Hussein Obama was married to Stanley Ann Dunham Obama at the time that Barack Hussein Obama II was born (so even if Barack Hussein Obama was not the biological father of Barack Hussein Obama II, he was without a doubt the legal father).  The divorce order does NOT say where Barack Hussein Obama II was born, but Ed Hale says that searches done with his mother’s name as shown (“Stanley Ann D. Obama”) have led to a “Port of Entry” Birth Certificate for Barack Hussein Obama II.  I am disappointed that Ed did not have that document available tonight, but look forward to that being made public.
