Lt. Col. Lakin’s Journey –

Rolling Over in the Tomb of Unknow Soldiers! Time to make sure Lt. Col. Lakin is not one of the Unknow Soldiers who, under Obama, appear to have died in vain.

The following information is from http://www.safeguardourconstitution.com/helpterry.html.  I hope you will also consider making a contribution at http://www.terrylakinactionfund.com/ to support Lt. Col. Lakin and his family.

Contact Terry and Plead his Case

Contacting Terry

Terry arrived safely at Fort Leavenworth to begin serving his six month sentence following his conviction at court-martial.

If you want to contact Terry via mail please follow these guidelines carefully:

Do not use rank or title. Only first name, last name, and registration number (see below).

We can send him letters, greeting cards and post office money orders but nothing else.

Do send any packages, food, magazines, etc.

Send your mail to:
Terrance Lakin #89996
830 Sabalu Road
Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027

Pleading Terry’s Case: Operation Free Dr. Lakin

For those of you who inquired about clemency, please contact MAJOR GENERAL HORST, who was the convening authority for court-martial. MG Horst has the power to suspend or shorten LTC Lakin’s sentence. His email address is: karl.horst@us.army.mil   His fax number is 202-685-2801. You should call the PAO (Public Affairs Officer), Col. Robert Manning. The phone number to call is 202-685-4899 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              202-685-4899end_of_the_skype_highlighting.

 

You might remind MG Horst that LTC Lakin was denied the right to evidence to defend himself- i.e. denied discovery and denied the testimony of expert witnesses. Feel free to repeat to him that officers swear an oath to the Constitution- are trained on the unified chain of command and know that they are supposed to question orders that may be illegal. The Army failed LTC Lakin repeatedly when it avoided answering his simple question- is the Commander-in-Chief legally, Constitutionally eligible to command the U.S. Armed Forces? His Congressional delegation failed him too when it could not answer this question.

LTC Lakin enjoyed support from high ranking, retired military officers, Major General Paul Vallely, and Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney and eligibility plaintiffs, CDR Charles Kerchner and Captain Pam Barnett (who both attended his court-martial). LT GEN McInerney had wanted to testify as an expert witness for LTC Lakin but was disallowed by the Judge, COL Lind. Former Presidential candidate, Ambassador Alan Keyes also supported LTC Lakin and was not permitted to testify.

Army asks for mercy from clemency callers

Army public affairs officer Lt. Col. Rob Manning today asked WND readers appealing for clemency for imprisoned “birther” Dr. Terrence Lakin to send their pleas to Lakin’s defense counsel, not to the officer with authority to free Lakin, Maj. Gen. Karl Horst.

“We’re getting a lot of calls,” said Manning, the director of public affairs for the Joint Force Headquarters, National Capital Region.

Manning emphasized clemency requests should be sent to Maj. Matthew Kemkes, Lakin’s defense counsel. Kemkes’ e-mail address is matthewkemkes@us.army.mil.

Manning declined to estimate how many calls he and his secretary had answered.

“I don’t know, but it’s been quite a few,” said Manning.

Lakin backer Margaret Hemenway told WND yesterday that the Army had received 300 calls by 12:30 p.m., even before Manning’s phone number appeared on WND. … Continue Reading

Here’s an important quote from this article:

…This court martial verdict, guilty on all counts, settles nothing. On the contrary it leaves the question in boldface: What could possibly be preventing the president from showing the American people his original, 1961 birth certificate? What remains to be seen is whether there exists any authority, any leader in this whole country with the courage of a Lakin to ask….

Commentary -

I'm Sure There Are Many Soldiers Living This Nightmare. It's Time For The Joint Chiefs of Staff to Step To The Plate and Support Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin! Don't Be Military Sheep.

In support of Lt. Col. Lakin’s courage in seeking the ‘Truth’ (and as a former In-Flight Tech in the Navy), I urge all who have served or have friends/family in the military to ask the following question of those currently serving. 

Brothers and Sisters in the Military, when are you too going to demand Obama establish that he is a Natural Born Citizen, eligible to serve as Commander In Chief?  

The military is the only government organization that I continue to have a modicum of respect for and it pains me criticize those serving.  And I understand the consequences of challenging Obama’s eligibility directly, but the continuing attacks against our Constitution by the left cannot be allowed to pass without objection in some form or another.  Acquiescence is not the only option.

Consider this please.  What if every serviceman or woman went to his or her Chaplin, stated their concerns and provided the basic evidence (direct and circumstantial, links, former statements by NPR etc. indicating a Kenyan birth, etc., etc.) that would cause most reasonable persons to have legitimate questions about Obama’s lack of eligibility to serve and issue lawful orders?  What if requests were made to each Chaplin instructing them to pass these concerns up the Chain of Command?  Would there come a point, a number of requests that would cause the leadership to demand proof of eligibility?

Maybe military leadership could utilize the following provision?

§ 935. Art. 135. Courts of inquiry

(a) Courts of inquiry to investigate any matter may be convened by any person authorized to convene a general court-martial or by any other person designated by the Secretary concerned for that purpose, whether or not the persons involved have requested such an inquiry.

If the Oath to protect the Constitution is not important today, why don’t we just change the oath of allegiance to reflect our current level of commitment? 

I, _______, do solemnly swear to protect ME and I will try to defend the Constitution as long as it doesn’t adversely impact the aforementioned ‘ME’.

Remember Lt. Col. Lakin.

Unfortunately, I don't have to make a big leap to believe something like this actually exists in the Obama White House basement! Especially after the discovery of the existance of the 'Journolist' Truth Assassins - Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, The Constitution, our freedoms, etc. all appear to be in the BOPAC Administration's and their friends' (State Run Media, Journolist, NAACP, Black Panthers, Ayers, Rev. Wright) sights.

Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

Selwyn Duke says Obama is a moral relativist – which when it comes to faith wouldn’t make a pimple on a real Christian’s, Jew’s, or Muslim’s butt. Moral relativism does explain Obama’s marriage, rumors of his Man’s Country membership, his fling with Larry Sinclair and how the world revolves around Obama. Moral relativist it is!

United States Constitution

 Official Disclosure – Just to be clear, my graphics depict almost all members of the BOPAC Administration as being full of crap.  They do not actually look like turds – one needs special ‘full of crap’ glasses to be able to see the core of those who continually feed America BS.  I treat everyone equally – when Glenn Beck goes off on those who reasonably question Obama’s eligibility, he gets a half-full of crap depiction.

Lt. Lakin’s Persecution is Just the Beginning – Time to Redouble Efforts – Will State Legislators Allow the Life Support Plug on Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution to be Pulled? – The BOPAC Report

The BOPAC Report

Lt. Col. Lakin’s Journey –

When I served in the Navy, I understood that I was making a sacrifice for Freedom, Liberty and the Constitution. I would not have joined if I were defending socialism. Have our most revered sacrificed all in vain? Not yet but we are getting close. I certainly would not follow someone who would not release every document necessary to prove he is eligible to serve as Commander In Chief.

Over at CitizenWell’s site I just posted the following comment:

Good morning. We are going out of town tomorrow for the weekend. Lot to do today to get ready. Lt. Col. Lakin will be on my mind and how the military’s leadership is letting America and her troops down. It is time to start putting pressure on State legislatures and Secretaries of State to require documentation for the Office of President. The focus should be on the requirement of a candidate also having 2 citizen parents. If 1 or 2 states restates their belief in such a requirement, the media and politicians will have no choice but to challenge it in court. Once that happens maybe we can help put pressure on Representative to right the great injustice done against Lt. Col. Lakin.

Zach

Several months ago I wrote to hundreds of State legislators in an attempt to get them to support the U.S. Constitution. I am providing the cover letter and article here in case any of you would like to use any part of it.  We must double our efforts to restore the Constitution and Lt. Col. Lakin’s rightful place in our military.

Cover letter for email:

Dear Sir or Madam:

The reason I am writing today is to urge passage a legislative bill similar to Arizona HB 2441, which is currently awaiting a hearing before the Arizona House Judiciary Committee.  Given that Article, Section 1 of the Constitution has be severely weakened this past year when not one Secretary of State required proof from any candidate to would establish he or she were a natural born citizen.

My fear is that if one or two states do not pass legislation requiring those who supervise elections to scrutinize the eligibility of candidates in 2012, we might as well cut Article II, Section 1 from our Constitution. This provision continues to be needed today.  It helps to ensure that whoever is chosen to lead our military and county will not have divided loyalties.

I urge you to read and consider the following article that I wrote recently.  Thank you for all of your work.  America needs state legislators who will not cede more and more power to Washington D.C.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.

Respectfully,

Zach Jones

Article I used when contacting legislators:

Will State Legislators Allow the Life Support Plug on Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution to be Pulled?

First the good news, Article II, Section 1 of the U. S. Constitution is still alive. The bad news is that she is on life support. There is a cure but the political side effects may be so severe that politicians lacking sufficient strength of character and commitment might allow the plug to be pulled unless they receive sufficient support and encouragement from their constituents.

Candidates from both Parties stand in the hospital wings, watching with intense interest.  Coffin builders for fallen Constitutional protections have their measuring tapes out.  Those who hold the view that the Constitution is an obstacle to their ‘enlightened’ purposes (the media and far left Democrats) are working as hard as they can to rewrite history, shape public opinion, and plan their bounty. Politicians on the national stage, with the exception of the brave few, are trying to distance themselves from Article II, Section 1 even though she is part of a Constitution that has nurtured and given direction to America throughout its history. These politicians cry out – Why can’t this be easier or least done in secret?

Advocates from all parts of America have tried their best to plea the case for the life and continuing benefits that Article II, Section 1 bestows upon America, her people and her military.  Advocates like Philip Berg, Mario Apuzzo, Orly Taitz, Leo Donofrio, Stephen Pidgeon and others have put their reputations, fortunes, and personal safety on the line to uphold the oaths they took when they joined their profession. Thank you for your continuing efforts Advocates. Even though it may not be politically correct, there are many of We The People praying for you.

Thus far every plea has fallen on the deaf ears of brethren on the bench – who of course have also pledged protection and defense for the incredible document of which Article II, Section 1 is a part.   We The People could see them sitting stately in their robes trying to consider every possible consequence that might flow from their decision – political, legal, moral, and yes personal.  Then one by one they punted, as any survival-trained politician would do.

We could almost hear each whisper:  Shall I speak and honor the words ‘natural born citizen’ knowing they require of those seeking America’s highest Office and Command of her military to have no other allegiance?

With Judge Carter, we could almost see him turn the voice in his head, his voice, off.  We all had such high hopes for Carter given that he verbalized his intent of getting to the bottom of it all, and he was an ex-Marine.  He had recognized how big an issue it was. What words might have persuaded him?

Were these Judges, being creatures of both politics and the law, simply overwhelmed by their own political and/or personal interests?  The written language of Article II, Section 1 was clear enough, her history was clear enough, and the why of Article II, Section 1 was easily understandable and continues to this day. But the common thread, every case before the bench involved the first African-American who was to be elected to the Office of the Presidency; and as such, each case carried so many people’s hopes, dreams and expectations. Each case was a political minefield.

Surely, they must have struggled with the decision?  Could it be that some of those standing vigil, wringing their hands in anticipation, as Article II, Section 1 clings to her intended life – approached the magistrates at some point with dire warnings of rioting in the streets, solace that it’s not that big a deal, that Obama’s eligible but a deep dark family secret would have be revealed should proof be required, or maybe something else.  Who knows in national politics?

Nevertheless, how could any Judge put aside the maxim of legal training?

‘Politiae legibus non leges politiis adaptandae’ – Politics are to be adapted to the laws, and not the laws to politics.

Even though cases remain that can provide healing to Article II, Section 1 and restore the integrity of America’s justice system, it looks more and more like State legislatures hold the only power of resurrection vis-à-vis laws that will require candidates for the Presidency to provide documentation establishing they are ‘natural born citizens’.

Unless something extraordinary occurs, the next Presidential election will not have the watchful gaze of Article II, Section 1 enhancing America’s security.

Try to imagine the run up to 2012.

Political Parties get their eyes fixed on the Presidency and begin the process of selecting the candidate with the biggest coat tails to carry their hopes and aspirations, will anyone worry about complying with the ghostly remains of an Article II, Section 1 that has been effectively drawn and quartered by Judges and Politicians wilting before the possibility of political/societal consequences should they do their duties? 

Will any Secretary of State or Elections Official now dare to raise their voice without a strong statutory mandate requiring their scrutiny?

It’s doubtful.

Thankfully, there are those fighting for the protections that Article II, Section 1 provides and guarding her life support plug.  The call for State Legislator Specialists is going out.

States needn’t wait on the outcomes of the current eligibility lawsuits of Orly Taitz, Leo Donofrio, Stephen Pidgeon, or Philip Berg. The prospects for their success are fairly close to nil – not because their cases lack merit, but because their judges lack political courage.  Make note that every court thus far has demonstrated its incredible reluctance to face the virus attacking Article II, Section 1.  Of the scores of lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility, not one judge has allowed discovery that could determine the factual reality threatening Article II, Section 1. 

Can anyone imagine a future plaintiff willing to go through the expense and the likelihood of facing the gauntlet of abusive magistrates who’d thought they’d made it abundantly clear that they do not want to deal with the issue of compromised allegiances to the United States?  Talk about having a chilling effect on protecting Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution!

Don’t lose faith, miracles do happen. Several legislators in different parts of the country are answering the call for specialized treatment.

For example in Arizona:

…HB 2441: A large group of Republican lawmakers have signed on in support of HB 2441, which would require presidential candidates to provide copies of their birth certificates to prove they are eligible to become president and are not foreign-born secret Muslims. If the Arizona secretary of state determines the documents don’t measure up, the candidate cannot be on the ballot in Arizona. HB 2441 is awaiting a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee….

Right now, mid-February, the treatment so desperately needed is awaiting a hearing in an Arizona House Judiciary Committee.  Hopefully, the House Judiciary Committee is not set up like one of the ‘death panels’ envisioned in Obama’s healthcare takeover.

The legislation the Arizona team of specialists is trying to enact is clear, to the point and should be moved forward because time is short. I applaud them loudly.

However, it looks as though they are sending a generic version of the life saving medicine.  It may do the trick but it seems to rely on the Arizona Secretary of State’s knowledge of the history and meaning of the phrase ‘natural born citizen’.  Just as many of America’s young are not being taught the price of freedom that has been paid throughout our history, many of our elected officials may not recognize that a problem of compromised allegiance exists with a particular candidate.

…Within ten days after submittal of the names of the candidates, the national political party committee shall submit an affidavit of the presidential candidate in which the presidential candidate states the candidate’s citizenship and age and shall append to the affidavit documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen, prove the candidate’s age and prove that the candidate meets the residency requirements for President of the United States as prescribed in article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States….

Being just one member of We The People who deeply values Article II, Section 1 and the rest of the family of Constitutional provisions – I’m not a legislative specialist; but wouldn’t it be better if you define the term ‘natural born citizen’. 

Why not require sufficient proof that would meet a definition that the Founders would have understood? 

A person is a ‘natural born citizen’, if he or she were born a U.S. citizen to parents who were both U.S. citizens by ‘birth or naturalization’ at the time of his or her birth.

Such a definition would only require one U. S. birth certificate indicating birth on American soil for the candidate and a U.S. birth certificate indicating birth on American soil or certification of U.S. Naturalization reflecting U.S. citizenship before the candidate’s birth for each of the candidate’s parents. Simple, it takes three.

If the State law were ever challenged, then maybe, just maybe a federal court would have to define ‘natural born citizen’.

Note:  Even though I have approached this subject using a bit of humor, it is in fact very serious. (Follow the links to find more information about the eligibility issue.)  If you would like to help protect the Constitution, specifically Article II, Section 1, call or email your Representatives, state and national.  I plan on emailing this article to every state legislator in Arizona and Louisiana very soon.  I’m choosing Louisiana because their Republican Governor Bobby Jindal has the same problem with Presidential eligibility that Barack Obama has.

Thank you!

Larry Sinclair’s Journey –

Larry Sinclair has always been under threat from Obama's minions for daring to disclose allegations of sex, drugs, and other things involving Obama. Take Care Larry.

Yesterday, Larry Sinclair, the man who alleged sexual encounters with Obama in 1999 (among other things) wrote a lengthy article about the Parisi lawsuit against him.  As Larry states early on in the article and for many of the people reporting on Larry’s journey, myself included, it has always been about THE TRUTH.  I happen to believe Larry Sinclair’s account of the events in 1999 but it is about the truth.  Hopefully, other of Obama’s former partners and/or those with knowledge (members of Man’s Country) will come forward and support Larry’s allegations.

Rahm's Man's Country Ballet Class - Given Obama's secrecy about all aspects of his life and Rahm's childhood training as a ballerina, is it too far of a stretch to imagine Rahm teaching his friends a few moves at Man's Country?

Why I’m Determined To Defend Against Parisi Claims

Written By: Larry – Dec• 13•10

It has now been more than six months since Dan Parisi of whitehouse.com fame brought a civil suit claiming portions of my book, Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder?are “defamatory.”  Parisi by and through Richard Oparil of Patton Boggs, LLP in Washington, D.C. has since May 28, 2010 filed repeated false statements and perjured declarations in the US District Court for the District of Columbia accusing me of “defamation” among other things against Daniel (Dan) Parisi, Whitehouse.com, Whitehouse Networks, and Whitehouse Communications.  During this time many people have asked me “why does it matter what Parisi says, he can’t get blood out of a turnip,” and “Who cares about Parisi suing, your book is out there and people will know the truth.”  Let me answer those questions here and now.

First, I am not defending against Parisi’s claims over any concern about having to pay him any monetary damages.  Defending against these claims are and have always been about the TRUTH….Continue Reading at Larry’s Site

Lt. Col. Lakin’s Journey –

Will this be the next thing we see from Obama and Eric Holder? Had the media 'Journolist' Truth Assassins had been working as hard to further the interests' of their profession (objectivity, truth, news) we would not have soldiers such as Lt. Col. Lakin having to risk their liberty and careers to live up to the oath they took! It's time for the Joint Chiefs to man up.

This morning Lt. Col. Lakin is being put on trial for demanding an answer to the question of Obama’s eligibility to serve as Commander In Chief.  WND daily is reporting that Lt. Col. Lakin’s attorney is hoping to keep the brave soldier out of prison. 

I have many hopes for Lt. Col. Lakin.  I hope that his attorney will do the very best he can to preserve every appellate issue possible. 

I hope he will propose something like the following as a jury instruction to the judge based on the UCMJ:

Obedience to orders -  It is a defense to any offense that the accused was acting pursuant to orders unless the accused knew the orders to be unlawful or a person of ordinary sense and understanding would have known the orders to be unlawful….II –109

I would suggest that it is a defense to refusing to follow orders if a person of ordinary sense and understanding would have known that there was a reasonable suspicion that the orders are unlawful.

I think this would set up one more ground for appeal and support the appellate issue that the Judge erred in refusing to allow any discovery or explanation related to Obama’s probably lack of eligibility.

I strongly hope that the empanelled jury will reread their Oath, do the brave thing and refuse to convict Lt. Col. Lakin.  If they do the extraordinary and give Lt. Col. Lakin a jury pardon, they will send a shock wave through the ranks of the military that the Joint Chiefs cannot ignore.

This morning reacting to the death of Richard Holbrooke, Admiral Mullen made the following tweet:

Deborah and I are saddened by the death of Richard Holbrooke. We lost a dear friend. America lost a true patriot. http://bit.ly/hT9q2N

Lakin defense goal: ‘minimize the punishment’

Attorney believes Army officer can avoid prison, support family

Posted: December 13, 2010
8:59 pm Eastern

© 2010 WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON – Defense attorney Neal Puckett acknowledges chances of acquittal for Army Lt. Col. Terry Lakin are remote, so he’s shifting to a new battleground: limiting the punishment.

Lakin’s court martial begins today at Ft. Meade, Maryland, and Puckett will be trying to persuade the jury to view Lakin as a man of principle, not as a disobedient soldier.

In an interview selected as Video of the Day http://www.westernjournalism.com/video-of-the-day-lt-col-lakin%E2%80%99s-lawyer-on-obama%E2%80%99s-eligibility/ by the Western Center for Journalism, Puckett said his goal during the court martial will be to “minimize the punishment” the Army will mete out to Lakin for disobeying orders.

“What we’re aiming for, for Lt. Col. Lakin, is … to convince the jury on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week to let him go home and spend the holidays with his family and not send him to jail. And I think that’s a possible outcome,” said Puckett. …Continue Reading

ObamaCare –

 

It will suck to be old under Obama Care!

Just in case you were cut off from the world yesterday:

From the WSJ:

ObamaCare Loses in Court

A victory for liberty and the Constitution in Virginia.

Only a few months ago, the White House and its allies on the legal left dismissed the constitutional challenges to ObamaCare as frivolous, futile and politically motived. So much for that. Yesterday, a federal district court judge in Virginia ruled that the health law breaches the Constitution’s limits on government power.

In a careful 42-page ruling, Judge Henry Hudson declared that ObamaCare’s core enforcement mechanism known as the individual mandate—the regulation that requires everyone to purchase health insurance or else pay a penalty—exceeds Congress’s authority to regulate the lives of Americans.

“The unchecked expansion of congressional power to the limits suggested by the Minimum Essential Coverage Provision [the individual mandate] would invite unbridled exercise of federal police powers,” Judge Hudson writes. “At its core, this dispute is not simply about regulating the business of insurance—or crafting a scheme of universal health insurance coverage—it’s about an individual’s right to choose to participate.”

So the issue is joined, and no doubt with historic consequences for American liberty. For most of the last century, the U.S. Supreme Court interpreted the Constitution’s Commerce Clause as so elastic as to allow any regulation desired by a Congressional majority. Only with the William Rehnquist Court did the Justices begin to rediscover that the Commerce Clause has some limits, as in the Lopez (1995) and Morrison (2000) cases.

The courts up through the Supremes will now decide if government can order individuals to buy a private product or be penalized for not doing so. If government can punish citizens for in essence doing nothing, then what is left of the core Constitutional principle of limited and enumerated government powers? ….Continue Reading

Consider this please.  What if every serviceman or woman went to his or her Chaplin, stated their concerns and provided the basic evidence (direct and circumstantial, links, former statements by NPR etc. indicating a Kenyan birth, etc., etc.) that would cause most reasonable persons to have legitimate questions about Obama’s lack of eligibility to serve and issue lawful orders?  What if requests were made to each Chaplin instructing them to pass these concerns up the Chain of Command?  Would there come a point, a number of requests that would cause the leadership to demand proof of eligibility?

Maybe military leadership could utilize the following provision?

§ 935. Art. 135. Courts of inquiry

(a) Courts of inquiry to investigate any matter may be convened by any person authorized to convene a general court-martial or by any other person designated by the Secretary concerned for that purpose, whether or not the persons involved have requested such an inquiry.

If the Oath to protect the Constitution is not important today, why don’t we just change the oath of allegiance to reflect our current level of commitment? 

I, _______, do solemnly swear to protect ME and I will try to defend the Constitution as long as it doesn’t adversely impact the aforementioned ‘ME’.

Selwyn Duke says Obama is a moral relativist – which when it comes to faith wouldn’t make a pimple on a real Christian’s, Jew’s, or Muslim’s butt. Moral relativism does explain Obama’s marriage, rumors of his Man’s Country membership, his fling with Larry Sinclair and how the world revolves around Obama. Moral relativist it is!

The BOPAC Report

Lt. Col. Lakin’s Journey –

Dalai Lama has advice for Obama! America Must Demand Proof or Face the Consequences!

Below you will find the Greenley Gazette’s Jack Minor’s take on Lt. Col. Lakin’s persecution.  It’s a clear picture of a man committed to his Oath, his Chain of Command, his Army, and his country.  He deserves much better treatment from the U. S. military justice system. What he’s received is something one would expect in the Soviet Union. Lt. Col. Lakin deserves a commendation.

Lakin not allowed witnesses, documents, explanation at court-martial Dec. 14! Posted by Jack Minor • November 30, 2010

By Jack Minor

Letters obtained by The Gazette reveal the extent to which a decorated Army officer and his brother struggled to resolve concerns over the President’s eligibility prior to the officer being court-martialed.

The Lakins are long-time Greeley residents. Three Lakin brothers; Dr. Greg Lakin, Capt. Gary Lakin USCG and Lt. Col. Terrance Lakin graduated from University High School in 1977, 1980 and 1983 respectively. The brothers’ parents still live in Greeley and have a long history of supporting humanitarian causes in the area.

Lt. Col. Lakin is currently scheduled to be court-martialed Dec. 14 for disobeying orders to deploy after exhausting numerous attempts to resolve issues regarding the President’s eligibility to be Commander-in-Chief. The specific issue involved is the Constitutional requirement that the President be a natural born citizen.

Dr. Greg Lakin has previously been a member of the Greeley Police Department and was a prosecutor in Hawaii. Greg, who was interviewed on the Peter Boyles radio show on Nov. 9, said Lakin, “mulled over this for a long period of time” before he made his decision to refuse to deploy to Afghanistan. He strongly disputed the contention that his brother was a coward for deploying, noting Terry had already served in both Bosnia and Afghanistan.

Military Judge, Denise Lind, has ruled that Lakin will not be able to present any witnesses or documents for his defense and will not be able to explain his reason for disobeying orders at the court-martial. Lind has ruled the issue of the President’s eligibility is irrelevant saying the orders came from the Pentagon and not the President. Dr. Lakin disputed this contention saying the President took credit for Lakin’s deployment during a speech at West Point where he gave a speech for the surge in Afghanistan. “He was part of that surge so it would be an order that comes directly from Obama himself” and “if he doesn’t have standing then no one does.”

In an interview with the Gazette, Dr. Lakin shared copies of letters he and his brother sent to the President and Hawaiian Governor Linda Lingle asking for a resolution of this issue. Greg said the letters were written with a very humble spirit in an attempt to seek information verifying Barack Obama’s birthplace.

Greg drew a contrast between his brother and the President saying his brother is upholding the constitution, “while the other has probably violated it.” He went on to say the President “promotes transparency in government unless it applies to him. On the other hand, Terry is convinced that justice will prevail.”….Continue Reading

…”Terry is convinced that justice will prevail”…

Unfortunately, Lt. Col. Lakin will likely need to go through the entire appellate process in order to find Justice – and given the Supreme Court’s continuing attempt to avoid ruling on just who can be a Natural Born Citizen, Justice is by no means certain.

Lt. Col. Lakin has two possible outcomes in his upcoming trial. One, he is convicted and the perilous appellate process begins.  Two, enough members of the Jury seated to rubberstamp this injustice will stand tall and say enough of this. Enough members of the Lakin Jury will render a verdict of Not Guilty and watch the wheels fall off the systemic effort to thwart Justice.

I'm Sure There Are Many Soldiers Living This Nightmare. It's Time For The Joint Chiefs of Staff to Step To The Plate and Support Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin! Don't Be Military Sheep.

Lakin’s attorney: Conviction ‘certain’

‘He’s very disappointed in military justice system’

WASHINGTON – Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, a distinguished Army flight surgeon, is “certain” to be convicted of disobeying orders, according to his lawyer, Neil Puckett.

LTC Lakin will go on trial December 14 for refusing to deploy with his unit to Afghanistan. The senior officer questioned the legal validity of his orders because they originate ultimately with President Barack Obama, whose eligibility to serve as commander in chief under article II of the U.S. Constitution remains unproven.

“Based on the evidence available, his conviction is certain,” Puckett told WND. “He has no affirmative defense for the offenses he committed.”

“There is not much left to do” in defense of his client, Puckett said. Lakin’s previous defense counsel, Paul Jensen, already “sought discovery of documents, and to introduce evidence and expert witnesses, but the judge shut down all those efforts.”

During a September hearing, Colonel Denise Lind, the judge in the case, censored the last remaining arguments Lakin planned to make in his defense: motive and duty. Lakin had intended to explain his motive for disobeying the order and contend that it was his duty as a good soldier to disobey orders that he believed to be illegal.

See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD that probes this unprecedented presidential-eligibility mystery!

Lind also rejected defense requests to call as witnesses Ambassador Alan Keyes and retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney. Keyes was to explain the constitutional issues involved in the case, and McInerney was to talk about the training soldiers receive regarding when they should question and even disobey orders.

Stripped by the court of all possible defenses that might have justified his actions, Lakin has no chance of prevailing at trial. …Continue Reading

Natural Born Citizen -

Just like Obama is not Malcolm X - Obama is not a "Natural Born Citizen"! Obama may look like Malcolm X and Obama may be a "Citizen"; but being a "Citizen" does not necessarily mean that Obama is a "Natural Born Citizen"! Joint Chiefs of Staff’s new mottos: Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil & Don’t rock the boat!

The HillBuzz has an interesting post up today!  Generally, I am firmly against spying on and releasing information that the U.S. government needs to keep secret. However, given the BOPAC administration’s intention to subvert the Constitution and America’s principles, it might be the case that wikileaks may be able to help bring forth information that the American people are ENTITLED to know.

QUESTION: Why can’t WikiLeaks release Obama’s many missing documents?

Posted by kevindujan01

I think a better question than “Why is Julian Assange allowed to do what he does?” or “Why hasn’t the US government stopped WikiLeaks?” is the matter of “Why can’t WikiLeaks release the many, mysterious, missing documents Obama hides from the public?”

Let’s have a “Fun with Lists Friday” and use this thread to make a Christmas Wish List for everything we’d love WikiLeaks to release on Obama.  Maybe Santa will read this and do something about it.  Stranger things have happened.

Every year, Claire McCaskill asks Santa for “a sandwich made of all the colors” and last Christmas Oprah hoped “that thing on (her) back (she) thought was a big, gray mole was really just a piece of errant sausage” (and it was)…so I’m sure we can all wish for this WikiLeaks data dump on Obama and get success somewhere in between.

Can WikiLeaks find and release:

(1) Obama’s birth certificate clearly showing his current actual name, the race of his father and mother, and his father’s actual name.

(2) Obama’s college transcripts — which are believed to be those of a D and F student who used affirmative action and an exotic pedigree to get Ivy League degrees without having a GPA high enough for any honors societies like Phi Beta Kappa

(3) Obama’s 1980s passport documents explaining how he was able to go to Pakistan with his male lover when US citizens were forbidden from going there…Continue Reading.

The article ends with the following question: What can you think of?

Go to HillBuzz and give your input. Or you may go to Wikileaks twitter account and make your request directly.

Commentary –

In support of Lt. Col. Lakin’s courage in seeking the ‘Truth’ (and as a former In-Flight Tech in the Navy), I urge all who have served or have friends/family in the military to ask the following question of those currently serving. 

Brothers and Sisters in the Military, when are you going to demand Obama establish that he is a Natural Born Citizen, eligible to serve as Commander In Chief?  

The military is the only government organization that I continue to have respect for and it pains me criticize those serving.  And I understand the consequences of challenging Obama’s eligibility directly, but the continuing attacks against our Constitution by the left cannot be allowed to pass without objection in some form or another.  Acquiescence is not the only option.

Consider this please.  What if every serviceman or woman went to his or her Chaplin, stated their concerns and provided the basic evidence (direct and circumstantial, links, former statements by NPR etc. indicating a Kenyan birth, etc., etc.) that would cause most reasonable persons to have legitimate questions about Obama’s lack of eligibility to serve and issue lawful orders?  What if requests were made to each Chaplin instructing them to pass these concerns up the Chain of Command?  Would there come a point, a number of requests that would cause the leadership to demand proof of eligibility?

Maybe military leadership could utilize the following provision?

§ 935. Art. 135. Courts of inquiry

Unfortunately, I don't have to make a big leap to believe something like this actually exists in the Obama White House basement! Especially after the discovery of the existance of the 'Journolist' Truth Assassins - Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, The Constitution, our freedoms, etc. all appear to be in the BOPAC Administration's and their friends' (State Run Media, Journolist, NAACP, Black Panthers, Ayers, Rev. Wright) sights.
