Many of the acts complained of herein occurred in the District of Columbia.
7
1.3 Defendant BARRY SOETORO is believed to be an Indonesian citizen
8
who has operated under the assumed names BARRY OBAMA, BARACK OBAMA,
9

10 BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, and BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II without benefit of

11 a legally recognized name change.

12 1.4 Defendant NANCY PELOSI, in her authority within the Democrat


13
National Committee, is the duly authorized representative of the DNC who certified
14
defendant BARACK OBAMA for nomination for the Presidency of the United States.
15

2.0 INTRODUCTION
1

2 In 1967, a young man born Barack Hussein Obama II, was adopted by his step-

3 father Lolo Soetoro, when the family moved to Jakarta Indonesia. Pursuant to this

4 adoption, he was legally renamed Barry Soetoro, his citizenship was declared as
5 Indonesian so he could attend school, and his religion was declared to be Islam. See
6
Exhibit 1. The divorce decree between Ann Soetoro and Lolo Soetoro of 1980 further
7
confirms that Barry Soetoro, age 19 at the time of the divorce, was the legal child of his
8
adoptive father, Lolo Soetoro. See Exhibit 2.
9

10 Barry Soetoro moved to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandmother in 1971,

11 when he was 10 years old. It is believed that this is when Barry Soetoro first reassumed

12 some form of his birth name, Barack or Barry Obama. Nonetheless, in 1981, when he
13
was twenty years old, he traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan, India and Kenya on a passport
14
that was not an American passport, exercising his foreign citizenship after his 18th
15
birthday. There is no record and no claim by any party that Barry Soetoro affirmed US
16
Citizenship by means of an oath before a magistrate after his eighteenth birthday.
17

18 Soetoro completed two years at Occidental College in California, before

19 transferring to Columbia, where he allegedly completed his undergraduate degree.


20 Soetoro is believed to have entered Columbia under the assumed name Barack Obama.
21
Soetoro is alleged to have gone on to Harvard Law School, received a law degree and
22
returned to Chicago to act as a community organizer with organizations such as ACORN.
23
Soetoro joined the Illinois Bar Association as Barack Obama, and claimed under
24

25 oath that he had never been known by any other name. He later ran as a candidate for

26
Page 3 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
state senate under an umbrella party (the New Party) of the Socialist Workers’ Party in
1

2 1996. Soetoro was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1997 under the name Barack Obama,

3 and held the post until 2004, when he was elected to the US Senate under the same name.

4 Soetoro began running for the Presidency of the United States in 2007 under the
5 assumed name Barack Obama, until he was inaugurated, when he assumed the name
6
Barack Hussein Obama (still not his birth name) for purposes of holding the Presidency.
7
At all material times in his political career, Soetoro has held himself out under
8
assumed names, none of which were his birth name or his legal name.
9

10 Soetoro was born to British National father named Barack Hussein Obama on

11 August 4, 1961, and an American mother named Stanley Ann Dunham. The site of his

12 birth has not been established. In 1964, Kenya became a sovereign nation, and his
13
father’s nationality became Kenyan. Soetoro has admitted that he believed he held
14
Kenyan citizenship until 1982, although his Indonesian citizenship likely destroyed his
15
Kenyan/British citizenship. There is no evidence that Soetoro reaffirmed his British
16
citizenship by oath following his 18th birthday, and there is no evidence that Soetoro
17

18 reaffirmed his Kenyan citizenship following his 18th birthday, although he did exercise

19 some foreign citizenship when he travelled to Pakistan in 1981. The nationality of his
20 passport is unknown at this time.
21
The only eye-witness to the birth of Soetoro is his paternal grandmother, Sara
22
Obama, who allegedly stated that she witnessed his birth in Coast Hospital in Mombasa,
23
Kenya. See Exhibit 3. To date, there are no witnesses to Soetoro’s birth in Honolulu,
24

25 Hawaii – no OB-GYN, no mid-wife, no nurse, no hospital, no neighbor, no acquaintance,

26
Page 4 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
no one. There are no witnesses to Ann Obama being in Hawaii from the period of
1

2 February 1961 to January 1963.

3 If Soetoro was born in Kenya as alleged, Soetoro’s mother was incapable of

4 passing citizenship to Soetoro because of her age and because of the immigration laws in
5 place at that time. Soetoro would be unable to obtain citizenship by means of a simple
6
oath following his Indonesian citizenship; instead, Soetoro would be required to apply for
7
entry and citizenship like millions of others around the world seeking entry into the US.
8
Notwithstanding his British, Kenyan and Indonesian citizenships, his father’s
9

10 citizenship alone is sufficient to disqualify Soetoro from the Presidency under Article II,

11 Section I, paragraph 5 of the U.S. Constitution.

12 Instead of being forthcoming, Soetoro has obfuscated, hidden, and spent over $1
13
million to keep his birth and schooling records a secret.
14
Pelosi and Reed certified to the state of Arizona that Soetoro was eligible to hold
15
the office of POTUS, and certified to the remaining fifty states that Soetoro was duly
16
nominated to be the Democrat candidate to the office of the Presidency.
17

18 John Does and Jane Does 1-2 are members of the media and press organizations

19 who were informed of the controversy surrounding the birth site of Soetoro and the
20 controversy surrounding his eligibility for the office of the Presidency because of his
21
failure to meet natural born citizen status, and elected to cover-up and defend Soetoro
22
rather than report the facts underlying the controversy.
23

24

25

26
Page 5 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Plaintiffs are asking this court to convene a criminal grand jury to review and
1

2 examine the facts alleged herein and make a determination as to whether probable cause

3 exists to issue indictments against some or all of the defendants.

4 3.0 STANDING
5 The denial of standing by the courts in this country on claims against usurpers of
6
federal office is in itself an impermissible barrier to free speech which violates the First
7
Amendment right to free association and the right to bring a petition for a redress of
8
grievances. See NAACP v. Alabama, 357 U.S. 449 (1958); see also Buckley v. Valeo, 424
9

10 U.S. 1 (1976).

11 When Congress and the media have become so corrupted that they seek to

12 apologize for a candidate who has usurped an office, the people have no recourse other
13
than the courts to bring their redress of grievances. Plaintiffs have exhausted all remedies
14
prior to bringing this action. This court is that last bastion of redress available to them.
15
4.0 APPOINTMENT OF GRAND JURY AS A REMEDY
16
The exercise of the Fifth Amendment to appoint grand juries has long been
17

18 recognized by the federal courts including the Supreme Court of the United States in

19 cases as recent as United States v. Williams, 504 U.S. 36 at 48 (1992), when the court
20 said the following:
21
'[R]ooted in long centuries of Anglo-American history, Hannah v. Larche,
22
363 U.S. 420, 490 (1960) (Frankfurter, J., concurring in result), the grand jury is
23
mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. It has not
24

25 been textually assigned, therefore, to any of the branches described in the first

26
Page 6 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
three Articles. It "'is a constitutional fixture in its own right.'" United States v.
1

2 Chanen, 549 F.2d 1306, 1312 (CA9 1977) (quoting Nixon v. Sirica, 159 U.S.

3 App. D.C. 58, 70, n. 54, 487 F.2d 700, 712, n. 54 (1973)), cert. denied, 434 U.S.

4 825 (1977). ' "


5 “The grand jury is an institution separate from the courts, over whose
6
functioning the courts do not preside." Id.
7
"In fact, the whole theory of its function is that it belongs to no branch of
8
the institutional Government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the
9

10 Government and the people. See Stirone v. United States, 361 U.S. 212, 218

11 (1960); Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43, 61 (1906); G. Edwards, The Grand Jury 28-

12 32 (1906). Although the grand jury normally operates, of course, in the


13
courthouse and under judicial auspices, its institutional relationship with the
14
Judicial Branch has traditionally been, so to speak, at arm’s length. Judges' direct
15
involvement in the functioning of the grand jury has generally been confined to
16
the constitutive one of calling the grand jurors together and administering their
17

18 oaths of office. United States v. Williams, 504 U.S. 36 at 48 (1992). Also see

19 United States v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338, 343 (1974); Fed.Rule Crim.Proc. 6(a).
20 [504 U.S. 36, 48].
21
"The institution of the grand jury is deeply rooted in Anglo-American
22
history. In England, the grand jury served for centuries both as a body of accusers
23
sworn to discover and present for trial persons suspected of criminal wrongdoing
24

25 and as a protector of citizens against arbitrary and oppressive governmental

26
Page 7 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
action. In this country, the Founders thought the grand jury so essential to basic
1

2 liberties that they provided in the Fifth Amendment that federal prosecution for

3 serious crimes can only be instituted by 'a presentment or indictment of a Grand

4 Jury.' United States v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338, 343 (1974), Cf. Costello v. United
5 States, 350 U.S. 359, 361-362 (1956). The grand jury's historic functions survive
6
to this day. Its responsibilities continue to include both the determination whether
7
there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed and the protection
8
of citizens against unfounded criminal prosecutions. Branzburg v. Hayes, 408
9

10 U.S. 665, 686-687 (1972)."

11 4.1 Authority of the Citizens’ Grand Jury to Bring Presentment

12 HISTORY OF FEDERAL GRAND JURY POWER


13
"In addition to its traditional role of screening criminal cases for prosecution,
14
common law grand juries had the power to exclude prosecutors from their presence at
15
any time and to investigate public officials without governmental influence. These
16
fundamental powers allowed grand juries to serve a vital function of oversight upon the
17

18 government. The function of a grand jury to ferret out government corruption was the

19 primary purpose of the grand jury system in ages past." CREIGHTON LAW REVIEW,
20 Vol. 33, No. 4 1999-2000, 821, IF IT'S NOT A RUNAWAY, IT'S NOT A REAL
21
GRAND JURY by Roger Roots, J.D.
22
The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides in operative part
23
that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless
24

25 on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury."

26
Page 8 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
In the newsletter of the American Jury Institute and the Fully Informed Jury
1

2 Association, citing the famed American jurist, Joseph Story, the difference between and

3 indictment issued by a grand jury and a presentment was explained as follows:

4 "An indictment is a written accusation of an offence preferred to, and presented,


5 upon oath, as true, by a grand jury, at the suit of the government. An indictment is framed
6
by the officers of the government, and laid before the grand jury. Presentments, on the
7
other hand, are the result of a jury's independent action: 'A presentment, properly
8
speaking, is an accusation, made by a grand jury of its own mere motion, of an offence
9

10 upon its own observation and knowledge, or upon evidence before it, and without any bill

11 of indictment laid before it at the suit of the government. Upon a presentment, the proper

12 officer of the court must frame an indictment, before the party accused can be put to
13
answer it.' "
14
"A 'runaway' grand jury, loosely defined as a grand jury which resists the
15
accusatory choices of a government prosecutor, has improperly been eliminated by
16
modern criminal procedure. Today's "runaway" grand jury is in fact the common law
17

18 grand jury of the past. Prior to the emergence of governmental prosecution as the

19 standard model of American criminal justice, all grand juries were in fact "runaways,"
20 according to the definition of modern times; they operated as completely independent,
21
self-directing bodies of inquisitors, with power to pursue unlawful conduct to its very
22
source, including the government itself." Creighton Law Review, op. cit.
23
The Constitution intended to give the grand jury power to instigate
24

25 criminal charges, and this was especially true when it came to government

26
Page 9 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
oversight. This power has been eroded by the overreach of the legislative branch.
1

2 The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution still contains the same words quoted

3 above, but if you sit on a grand jury and return a "presentment" today, some

4 legislatures have required that a prosecutor or other officer of the court sign it or it
5 may not be allowed to stand in court, rendering the criminal charges such
6
independent grand juries have brought to the court's attention to be swept away.
7
And the reason for this can be found in a legislative distortion of the actual
8
underlying facts.
9

10 In 1946, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure were adopted, codifying

11 what had previously been a vastly divergent set of common law procedural rules

12 and regional customs. In general, an effort was made to conform the rules to the
13
contemporary state of federal criminal practice. In the area of federal grand jury
14
practice, however, a remarkable exception was allowed. The drafters of Rules 6
15
and 7, which loosely govern federal grand juries, denied future generations of
16
what had been the well-recognized powers of common law grand juries: powers
17

18 of unrestrained investigation and of independent declaration of findings. The

19 committee that drafted the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provided no


20 outlet for any document other than a prosecutor-signed indictment. In so doing,
21
the drafters at least tacitly, if not affirmatively, opted to ignore explicit
22
constitutional language. Creighton Law Review, op. cit.
23
Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (FRCP):
24

25

26
Page 10 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
"An offense which may be punished by death shall be prosecuted by
1

2 indictment. An offense which may be punished by imprisonment for a term

3 exceeding one year or at hard labor shall be prosecuted by indictment."

4 There is no mention of "presentments" in Rule 7. But they are mentioned in Note


5 4 of the Advisory Committee Notes on the Rules:
6
4. Presentment is not included as an additional type of formal accusation,
7
since presentments as a method of instituting prosecutions are obsolete, at least as
8
concerns the Federal courts.
9

10 The American Juror published the following commentary with regards to Note 4:

11 [W]hile the writers of the federal rules made provisions for indictments,

12 they made none for presentments. This was no oversight. According to Professor
13
Lester B. Orfield, a member of the Advisory Committee on Rules of Criminal
14
Procedure, the drafters of Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 6 decided the
15
term presentment should not be used, even though it appears in the Constitution.
16
Orfield states [22 F.R.D. 343, 346]:
17

18 'There was an annotation by the Reporter on the term presentment as used

19 in the Fifth Amendment. It was his conclusion that the term should not be used in
20 the new rules of criminal procedure. Retention might encourage the use of the
21
run-away grand jury as the grand jury could act from their own knowledge or
22
observation and not only from charges made by the United States attorney. It has
23
become the practice for the United States Attorney to attend grand jury hearings,
24

25 hence the use of presentments have been abandoned.'

26
Page 11 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
The statement "Retention might encourage the grand jury [to] act from their own
1

2 knowledge or observation" is a usurpation of Constitutional power expressly granted to

3 the citizens of this nation under both the Fifth and Tenth Amendments to the United

4 States Constitution, power that was intended by the founding fathers, in their incredible
5 wisdom, to provide citizens with oversight over tyrannical government. These due
6
process rights are the preferred mechanism of the constitutional republic for the
7
combating of tyranny, and there is no time more pressing than our current estate for the
8
exercise of these rights.
9

10 The state, seeking to further alienate the exercise of powers expressly given to

11 citizens in this country, then went out to brand such an exercise as a "runaway grand

12 jury." A runaway grand jury is nothing more and nothing less than a constitutionally
13
mandated grand jury, aware of their power, and legally exercising that power to hold the
14
federal beast in check, as in "checks and balances." As a result of this statist tactic to
15
improperly disempower the Fifth Amendment, the grand jury has relegated to the
16
position of submissive puppet to the US Attorney.
17

18 The American Juror publication American Juror went on to say in a very relevant

19 commentary:
20 Of course, no statute or rule can alter the provisions of the Constitution,
21
since it is the supreme law of the land. But that didn't prevent the federal courts
22
from publishing a body of case law affirming the fallacy that presentments were
23
abolished. A particularly egregious example:
24

25

26
Page 12 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
'A rule that would permit anyone to communicate with a grand jury
1

2 without the supervision or screening of the prosecutor or the court would

3 compromise, if not utterly subvert, both of the historic functions of the grand jury,

4 for it would facilitate the pursuit of vendettas and the gratification of private
5 malice. A rule that would open the grand jury to the public without judicial or
6
prosecutorial intervention is an invitation to anyone interested in trying to
7
persuade a majority of the grand jury, by hook or by crook, to conduct
8
investigations that a prosecutor has determined to be inappropriate or unavailing.'
9

10 As a result, the investigation of seditious, corrupt, or illegal acts of government

11 officials can be deemed inappropriate or unavailing by the prosecutor, or a judge can

12 dismiss the grand jurors pursuing such investigations. Consequently, corrupt government
13
officials have few natural enemies and go about their business unimpeded. To further
14
authorize this unconstitutional impediment to the exercise of Fifth Amendment rights of a
15
grand jury to issue a presentment, FRCP authors in 1946 added the following Rule 6(g):
16
"At any time for cause shown the court may excuse a juror either
17

18 temporarily or permanently, and in the latter event the court may impanel another

19 person in place of the juror excused." Now judges can throw anyone off a grand
20 jury, or even disimpanel a grand jury entirely, merely for exercising its discretion.
21
The authors of the new Federal Rules did not, however, render common law use
22
presentments illegal or unconstitutional – they merely attempted to render them obsolete.
23
Note 4 to Rule 7 of the FRCP provides as follows:
24

25

26
Page 13 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
"4. Presentment is not included as an additional type of formal accusation, since
1

2 presentments as a method of instituting prosecutions are obsolete, at least as

3 concerns the Federal courts."

4 The key word is, "obsolete." Obsolete means "outmoded,", or "not in use
5 anymore", but it does not mean "abolished" or "illegal." What was once obsolete in the
6
minds of the modernists in 1946 is now both appropriate and relevant.
7
The Constitution provides for "presentments." The Federal Rules of Civil
8
Procedure as they were enacted do not mention presentments, nor do they ban
9

10 presentments, and if they did, such a ban would be unconstitutional, since an

11 administrative enactment regarding procedure cannot overrule the Constitution. Note 4

12 simply states that "presentments" allowed for in the 5th Amendment of the Constitution
13
have become "obsolete", or outmoded, which is not to say that they were "eliminated."
14
Nothing can be "eliminated" from the Constitution by an administrative note.
15
Further, plaintiffs have no alternative except for a grand jury. The Department of
16
Justice, the organization empowered under the executive branch to investigate and bring
17

18 actions to determine whether crimes have been committed under federal law, is currently

19 headed by a man appointed to the position by the alleged usurper of the office of the
20 Presidency. It is therefore futile to ask Attorney General Holder to prosecute his mentor.
21
5.0 JURISDICTION AND VENUE
22
Jurisdiction is proper under Article III, Section 2, which provides in operative part
23
that “[t]he judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this
24

25

26
Page 14 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Constitution, the Laws of the United States,” as further iterated pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. §
1

2 1331.

3 This complaint arises under rights exercised pursuant to the First Amendment, the

4 Fifth Amendment and Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.


5 Personal jurisdiction over the defendants is properly found in this court, since the
6
defendants are resident in the District of Columbia, or have perpetrated acts within the
7
jurisdiction of this court in the District of Columbia D.C. Venue is therefore proper in
8
the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

10 6.0 STATEMENT OF APPLICABLE FACTS

11 The Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii

12 On October 31, 2008, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the Director of the Hawaii
13
Department of Health released the following statement:
14
There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official
15 birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the
release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible
16 interest in the vital record. Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of
Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to
17
oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified
18 that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth
certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
19
Here is a summary of Hawaii’s “state policies and procedures” in 1961.
20
In the State of Hawaii, back in 1961, there were four different ways to get an
21

22 “original birth certificate” on record. They varied greatly in their reliability as evidence.

23 For convenience, they are labeled BC1, BC2, BC3, and BC4.
24 BC1. If the birth was attended by a physician or mid wife, the attending medical
25
professional was required to certify to the Department of Health the facts of the birth
26
Page 15 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
date, location, parents’ identities and other information. (See Section 57-8 & 9 of the
1

2 Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in

3 effect in 1961).

4 Below is a true and accurate facsimile of a “long form” birth certificate used by
5 the State of Hawaii in 1961, carefully denoted as a “Certificate of Live Birth.” This
6
language is extremely important, when compared with the fraudulent document released
7
by Soetoro, the Daily Kos and fightthesmears.org.

Actual long form Certificate of Live Birth similar to one Obama refuses to release
24
BC2. In 1961, if a person was born in Hawaii but not attended by a physician or
25
midwife, then all that was required was that one of the parents send in a birth certificate
26
Page 16 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
to be filed. The birth certificate could be filed by mail. There appears to have been no
1

2 requirement for the parent to actually physically appear before “the local registrar of the

3 district.” It would have been very easy for a relative to forge an absent parent’s signature

4 to a form and mail it in. In addition, if a claim was made that “neither parent of the
5 newborn child whose birth is unattended as above provided is able to prepare a birth
6
certificate, the local registrar shall secure the necessary information from any person
7
having knowledge of the birth and prepare and file the certificate.” (Section 57-
8
8&9) The Hawaiian Department of Health currently (as of 2008) requires only proof of
9

10 residency to back up a parent’s claim that a child was born in Hawaii, such as a driver’s

11 license. Ann Dunham had acquired a driver’s license by the summer of 1961 at the age

12 of 17. The state of Hawaii would also accept a telephone bill, a pre-natal (statement or
13
report that a woman was pregnant) and a post-natal (statement or report that a new-born
14
baby has been examined) certification by a physician, although pre-natal and post-natal
15
certifications had probably not been in force in the 1960s. There is and was no
16
requirement for a physician or midwife to witness, state or report that the baby was born
17

18 in Hawaii.

19 BC3. In 1961, if a person was born in Hawaii but not attended by a physician or
20 midwife, then, up to the first birthday of the child, a “Delayed Certificate” could be filed,
21
which required that “a summary statement of the evidence submitted in support of the
22
acceptance for delayed filing or the alteration [of a file] shall be endorsed on the
23
certificates”, which “evidence shall be kept in a special permanent file.” The statute
24

25 provided that “the probative value of a ‘delayed’ or ‘altered’ certificate shall be

26
Page 17 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
determined by the judicial or administrative body or official before whom the certificate
1

2 is offered as evidence.” (See Section 57- 9, 18, 19 & 20 of the Territorial Public Health

3 Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961).”

4 This form of vault birth certificate, the Delayed Certificate, required no more than a
5 statement before a government bureaucrat by one of the parents or one of Soetoro’s
6
grandparents. Ann Dunham did not have to be present for this statement or even in the
7
country.
8
BC4. If a child is born in Hawaii, for whom no physician or mid wife filed a
9

10 certificate of live birth, and for whom no Delayed Certificate was filed before the first

11 birthday, then a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth could be issued upon testimony of an adult

12 (including the subject person [i.e. the birth child as an adult) if the Office of the
13
Lieutenant Governor was satisfied that a person was born in Hawaii, provided that the
14
person had attained the age of one year. (See Section 57-40 of the Territorial Public
15
Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961.)
16
In 1955 the “secretary of the Territory” was in charge of this procedure. In 1960 it was
17

18 transferred to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor (“the lieutenant governor, or his

19 secretary, or such other person as he may designate or appoint from his office” §338-
20 41 [in 1961]).

12 Certification of Live Birth, released by Obama


13
In 1982, the vital records law was amended to create a fifth kind of “original birth
14
certificate.” Under Act 182 H.B. NO. 3016-82, “Upon application of an adult or the legal
15
parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult
16
or minor, provided that the proof has been submitted to the director of health that the
17

18 legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had

19 declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year
20 immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.” In this way “state policies
21
and procedures” accommodate even “children born out of State” (this is the actual
22
language of Act 182) with an “original birth certificate on record.” So it is even possible
23
that the birth certificate referred to by Dr Fukino is of the kind specified in Act 182. This
24

25 possibility cannot be dismissed because such a certificate certainly satisfies Dr Fukino’s

26
Page 19 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
statement that “I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar
1

2 of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital

3 records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health

4 has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and
5 procedures.”
6
Soetoro has admitted that he was a Kenyan citizen until 1982, and it is possible
7
that he believes that he achieved citizenship when he secured a BC5 in 1982 under the
8
assumed name Barack Hussein Obama II. It is noteworthy that this Certification of Live
9

10 Birth (not a Certificate of Live Birth) has the conspicuous statement at the bottom: ANY

11 ALTERATIONS INVALIDATES THIS CERTIFICATE, and that the Certification has

12 been altered, as the number has been blacked out. This document, together with a
13
newspaper clipping from 1961, were the only two pieces of evidence provided by Soetoro
14
to buttress his claims of an American birth, prior to the release of another and yet another
15
Certification of Live Birth that surfaced on the internet following Polarik’s forensic audit
16
which declared this particular certification to be a forgery.
17

18 Sections 57-8, 9, 18, 19, 20 & 40 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act

19 may explain why Barack Obama has refused to release the original vault birth certificate.
20 If the original certificate were the standard BC1 type of birth certificate, he would have
21
allowed its release and brought the controversy to a quick end. But if the original
22
certificate is of the other kinds, then Obama would have a very good reason not to release
23
the vault birth certificate. For if he did, then the tape recording of Obama’s Kenyan
24

25 grandmother asserting that she was present at his birth in Kenya becomes far more

26
Page 20 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
important. As does the Kenyan ambassador’s assertion that Barack Obama was born in
1

2 Kenya, as well as the sealing of all government and hospital records relevant to Obama

3 by the Kenyan government. And the fact that though there are many witnesses to Ann

4 Dunham’s presence on Oahu from Sept 1960 to Feb 1961, there are no witnesses to her
5 being on Oahu from March 1961 to August 1962 when she returned from Seattle and the
6
University of Washington. No Hawaiian physicians, nurses, or midwives have come
7
forward with any recollection of Barack Obama’s birth.
8
The fact that Obama refuses to release the vault birth certificate that would
9

10 instantly clear up this matter indicates that the vault birth certificate is probably a BC2 or

11 possibly a BC3.

12 It is almost certainly a BC 3 or even a BC 4 if the “Certification of Live Birth”


13
posted on the Daily Kos blog and the fightthesmears.com website by the Obama
14
campaign is a forgery. Ron Polarik has made what several experts claim to be a cogent
15
case that it is a forgery. See Exhibit 5.
16
Here are 2 of Polarik’s websites: http://bogusbirthcertificate.blogspot.com/
17

18 http://bogusbithcertificate.blogspot.com/

19 However, the likelihood that this computer-generated “Certification of Live


20 Birth” was forged, is, I believe, increased by the fact that it has been pretty clearly
21
established that Obama “either didn’t register for the draft or did so belatedly and
22
fraudulently. The documents indicate that it’s one or the other.”
23
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/004431print.html The forgery of Obama’s
24

25 selective service registration was necessary, because according to Federal law, “A man

26
Page 21 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal
1

2 government and the U.S. Postal Service. This applies only to men born after December

3 31, 1959.” http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/wars/a/draft2.htm)

4 Dr Fukino’s statement in no way attested to (or even addressed the issue of) the
5 authenticity of the “Certification of Live Birth” (and the information that appears on it)
6
that the Daily Kos blog and the Obama campaign posted on line. Dr Fukino merely
7
stated that “I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of
8
Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital
9

10 records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health

11 has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and

12 procedures.”
13
If there is no hospital or physician record in the vault birth certificate, then he
14
wasn’t born in a hospital in Hawaii. And a home birth or non-hospital birth can then be
15
ruled out for the following reason.
16
When someone has a home birth or is not born in a hospital, this becomes a part
17

18 of his family’s lore and is now and again spoken of by his parents. He and his siblings

19 grow up knowing that he was born at home or his uncle’s house, etc. The fact that
20 someone in the campaign told a Washington Post reporter that he was born in Kapioliani
21
hospital and his sister said he was born at Queens hospital indicates that there was not
22
and is not any Obama/Dunham family memory of a home birth or non-hospital birth in
23
Hawaii. And if there is no hospital record in the original vault birth certificate, then he
24

25 was not born in a hospital in Hawaii.

26
Page 22 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Instead of the birth certificate on file at the Hawaii Dept of Health, the Obama
1

2 campaign posted on the Daily Kos blog and the Fightthesmears website a “Certification

3 of Live Birth”. The Certification of Live Birth is not a copy of the original birth

4 certificate. It is a computer-generated document that the state of Hawaii issues on request


5 to indicate that a birth certificate of some type is “on record in accordance with state
6
policies and procedures”. And there is the problem. Given the statutes in force in 1961,
7
the Certification of Live Birth proves nothing unless we know what is on the original
8
birth certificate. There are several legal areas (involving ethnic quotas and subsidy) for
9

10 which the state of Hawaii up until June 2009 did not accept its computer-generated

11 Certification of Live Birth as sufficient proof of birth in Hawaii or parentage. Why

12 should the citizens of the United States be content with lower standards for ascertaining
13
the qualifications of their President?
14
If you combine an awareness of what the Certification of Live Birth posted on the
15
internet really is with 1) a knowledge of the relevant statutes in 1961 and 2) Obama’s
16
stubborn refusal to permit the release of the real birth certificate and his determination to
17

18 fight any legal actions that would compel him to do so, it becomes clear that there is no

19 logical explanation for Obama’s refusal without taking into consideration the relevant
20 statutes. Then his behavior becomes clear. The Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in
21
the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii is the missing piece of the puzzle.
22
Most people think of a birth certificate as a statement by a hospital or midwife
23
with a footprint, etc. (That may be why some main-stream journalists have straight out
24

25 lied about this. Jonathan Alter, senior editor at Newsweek magazine, for example, told

26
Page 23 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Keith Olbermann on MSNBC on Feb 20, 2009 that “They [the Republicans] are a party
1

2 that is out of ideas so they have to resort to these lies about the fact that he’s not a citizen.

3 This came up during the campaign, Keith. The Obama campaign actually posted his

4 birth certificate from a Hawaii hospital online.” But it is Alter who resorted to lying
5 to the American people on television. “The Obama campaign” never “actually posted his
6
birth certificate from a Hawaii hospital online.” On July 17, 2009 CNN’s Kitty Pilgrim
7
lied when she stated that the Obama campaign had produced “the original birth
8
certificate” on the internet and that FactCheck.org had examined the original birth
9

10 certificate; whether it was forged or not, the Certification of Live Birth that was posted by

11 the campaign and FactCheck.org is not, and by definition, cannot be the original birth

12 certificate or a copy of the original birth certificate. There were no computer generated
13
Certifications of Live Birth in 1961, the year Obama was born. Obama’s original birth
14
certificate (whether it was filed in 1961 or later) was a very different document from the
15
Certification of Live Birth on FactCheck.org. On the FactCheck.org web site, the claim
16
is made that “FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and
17
18 photographed the original birth certificate.” So FactCheck.org is lying about this as well.

19 FactCheck.org gets its prestige from a reputation for objectivity. Why would
20 those who run this site choose to tell so obvious a lie and so endanger the site’s
21
reputation? The answer is in the date of the posting, August 21, 2008. It was in mid-
22
August that questions about the Certification of Live Birth began to reach a critical mass
23
and threaten to enter the public discourse. The mostly pro-Obama television and
24

25 newspaper/magazine media had to be given an excuse and cover for their collective

26
Page 24 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
decision to dismiss or ignore the substantial questions about whether Obama met the
1

2 qualifications for the office set forth in Article II section I of the Constitution. And those

3 reporters and editors who were not in the tank for Obama had to be deceived. After

4 Labor Day the swing voters would begin to pay attention to the Presidential campaign.
5 The truth had to be killed. And with its lie about “how it examined and photographed the
6
original birth certificate“, FactCheck.org killed it.)
7
Most people would not consider a mailed-in form by one of his parents (who
8
could have been out of the country or whose signature could have been forged by a
9

10 grandparent) or a sworn statement by one of his grandparents or by his mother or even a

11 sworn statement by himself many years later to be sufficient evidence (when set next to

12 the statements by his paternal grandmother and the Kenyan ambassador that he was born
13
in another country). Unless the American people are shown the original birth certificate,
14
all of these are possibilities. And if Obama refuses to allow the state of Hawaii to release
15
the original birth certificate, it begins to look like he was not born in a Hawaii hospital or
16
at home with the assistance of a doctor or midwife. A reasonable person would
17

18 acknowledge that there are serious reasons to doubt that Barack Obama was born in the

19 United States. This is especially true because, if Obama was born in a foreign country,
20 his family had a compelling reason to lie about it.
21
In 1961 if a 17 year old American girl gave birth in a foreign country to a child
22
whose father was not an American citizen, that child had no right to any American
23
citizenship, let alone the “natural born” citizenship that qualifies someone for the
24

25 Presidency under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.

26
Page 25 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
In 1961, the year that Barack Obama was born, under Sec. 301 (a) of the
1

2 Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, Ann Dunham could not transmit citizenship of

3 any kind to Barack Obama. “ 7 FAM 1133.2-2 Original Provisions and Amendments to

4 Section 301 (CT:CON-204; 11-01-2007) “a. Section 301 as Effective on December 24,
5 1952: When enacted in 1952, section 301 required a U.S. citizen married to an alien to
6
have been physically present in the United States for ten years, including five after
7
reaching the age of fourteen, to transmit citizenship to foreign-born children. The ten-
8
year transmission requirement remained in effect from 12:01 a.m. EDT December 24,
9

10 1952, through midnight November 13, 1986, and still is applicable to persons born during

11 that period.

12 “As originally enacted, section 301(a)(7) stated: Section 301. (a) The following
13
shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth: (7) a person born outside the
14
geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of
15
whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of
16
such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a
17

18 period or periods totaling not less than ten years, at least five of which were after

19 attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the
20 Armed Forces of the United States by such citizen parent may be included in computing
21
the physical presence requirements of this paragraph.”
22
The Immigration and Nationality Corrections Act (Public Law 103-416) on
23
October 25, 1994 revised this law to accommodate “a person born outside the
24

25 geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of

26
Page 26 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of
1

2 such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a

3 period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after

4 attaining the age of fourteen years”.


5 But in 1961, if Barack Obama had been born outside of the country, the Dunham
6
family had no way of knowing that in 1994 Congress would pass a law that would
7
retroactively make him a citizen. At that time, the only way to get citizenship for him
8
would be to take advantage of one of the loopholes in the Territorial Public Health
9

10 Statistics Act.

11 People can debate the meaning of the term “natural-born citizen” as long as they

12 like but this is clear: If, in 1961, 17 year old Ann Dunham gave birth to a child on foreign
13
soil whose father was not an American citizen, then the Immigration and Nationality Act
14
at that time denied Barack Obama any right to American citizenship of any kind.
15
Therefore if at the time of his birth Obama was ineligible for American citizenship of
16
any kind, then he cannot be a “natural-born citizen”. This is true even if the
17

18 Immigration and Nationality Act was changed 33 years after he was born. Even if the

19 law was retroactively changed to grant citizenship (but not “natural-born” citizenship) to
20 some of those who had at birth been denied it. If a person is not at the time of his birth
21
an American citizen, he cannot be a natural-born citizen. Therefore, that person is
22
ineligible under Article II, Section1 for the Office of President of the United States.
23
It is only by examining the 18th century usage and definition of a term that we can
24

25 ascertain its meaning in the Constitution. In the 18th century, and at the time of the

26
Page 27 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
framing and ratification of the Constitution by the states, the term “natural-born” subject
1

2 or citizen was always used or defined in such a way as to exclude the child of a British or

3 American girl or woman when that child was born in a foreign country and that child’s

4 father was a foreign citizen. No 18th century jurist would have thought the term “natural-
5 born” citizen or subject could have been extended to the child of a British or American
6
girl or woman when that child was born in a foreign country and that child’s father was a
7
foreign citizen.
8
Here is Blackstone’s classic exposition in 1765 of the legal meaning of the term
9

10 from the Commentaries on the Laws of England.

11 William Blackstone, Commentaries 1:354, 357–58, 361–62 1765

12 “Natural-born subjects are such as are born within the dominions of the crown of
13
England, that is, within the ligeance, or as it is generally called, the allegiance of
14
the king; and aliens, such as are born out of it.. . .
15
“When I say, that an alien is one who is born out of the king’s dominions, or
16
allegiance, this also must be understood with some restrictions. The common law
17

18 indeed stood absolutely so; with only a very few exceptions: so that a particular

19 act of parliament became necessary after the restoration, for the naturalization of
20 children of his majesty’s English subjects, born in foreign countries during the
21
late troubles. And this maxim of the law proceeded upon a general principle, that
22
every man owes natural allegiance where he is born, and cannot owe two such
23
allegiances, or serve two masters, at once. Yet the children of the king’s
24

25 embassadors born abroad were always held to be natural subjects: for as the

26
Page 28 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
father, though in a foreign country, owes not even a local allegiance to the prince
1

2 to whom he is sent; so, with regard to the son also, he was held (by a kind of

3 postliminium) to be born under the king of England’s allegiance, represented by

4 his father, the embassador. To encourage also foreign commerce, it was enacted
5 by statute 25 Edw. III. st. 2. that all children born abroad, provided both their
6
parents were at the time of the birth in allegiance to the king,…might inherit as if
7
born in England: and accordingly it hath been so adjudged in behalf of merchants.
8
But by several more modern statutes these restrictions are still farther taken off:
9

10 so that all children, born out of the king’s ligeance, whose fathers were natural-

11 born subjects, are now natural-born subjects themselves, to all intents and

12 purposes, without any exception; unless their said fathers were attainted, or
13
banished beyond sea, for high treason; or were then in the service of a prince at
14
enmity with Great Britain.” [The italics are Blackstone's]
15
The irresponsible confirmation in the Senate of the irresponsible tallying of votes
16
in the Electoral College does not supersede the clear meaning of Article II, Section 1. If
17

18 it is allowed to stand, disregard of the Constitution by all branches of the government

19 would be openly established. To all who believe that the Constitution is the
20 government’s basic law, that the Constitution is the only instrument that gives the
21
enactments of Congress and the commands of the Executive validity, it will be clear that
22
the rule of law in the United States is a fiction.
23
Journalists and politicians complain that we must avoid a Constitutional crisis, but
24

25 there already is a Constitutional crisis. It has been caused by Obama’s refusal to take the

26
Page 29 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
simple step to clear the matter up. The power of the Executive branch has been
1

2 compromised. Its right to collect taxes and sign Congressional enactments into law, in

3 fact all of its powers, have become problematic. Since their validity under Section I is

4 now doubtful, they depend on the illegal exercise of force. Since officers of the
5 American military take their oath on commissioning to the Constitution and not the
6
President, their obedience to the Commander-in-Chief has lapsed and, if they challenge
7
or resist his authority, any courts-martial will also be an illegal exercise of force. The
8
only way out of the present Constitutional crisis is for Obama to do as McCain did when
9

10 he was confronted by far less pressing doubts about the circumstances of his birth. He

11 must disclose his vault birth certificate. Since the document has been so suspiciously

12 withheld for so long, it should be subjected to rigorous forensic tests. Then whatever is
13
on it should be judicially assessed together with the claims that have been made that
14
Barack Obama was born on foreign soil.
15
It should be added that “Obama’s top terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O.
16
Brennan, heads a firm that was cited in March for breaching sensitive files in the State
17

18 Department’s passport office, according to a State Department Inspector General’s report

19 released this past July.


20 “The security breach, first reported by the Washington Times and later confirmed
21
by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, involved a contract employee of
22
Brennan’s firm, The Analysis Corp., which has earned millions of dollars providing
23
intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies and private companies.
24

25

26
Page 30 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
“During a State Department briefing on March 21, 2008, McCormack confirmed
1

2 that the contractor had accessed the passport files of presidential candidates Barack

3 Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John McCain, and that the inspector general had

4 launched an investigation.
5 “Sources who tracked the investigation tell Newsmax that the main target of the
6
breach was the Obama passport file, and that the contractor accessed the file in order to
7
‘cauterize’ the records of potentially embarrassing information.
8
“ ‘They looked at the McCain and Clinton files as well to create confusion,’ one
9

10 knowledgeable source told Newsmax. ‘But this was basically an attempt to cauterize the

11 Obama file.’

12 “At the time of the breach, Brennan was working as an unpaid adviser to the
13
Obama campaign.
14
“ ‘This individual’s actions were taken without the knowledge or direction of
15
anyone at The Analysis Corp. and are wholly inconsistent with our professional and
16
ethical standards,’ Brennan’s company said in a statement sent to reporters after the
17

18 passport breach was made public.

19 “The passport files include ‘personally identifiable information such as the


20 applicant’s name, gender, social security number, date and place of birth, and passport
21
number,’ according to the inspector general report.
22
“The files may contain additional information including ‘original copies of the
23
associated documents,’ the report added. Such documents include birth certificates,
24

25

26
Page 31 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
naturalization certificates, or oaths of allegiance for U.S.-born persons who adopted the
1

2 citizenship of a foreign country as minors.”

3 “The State Department Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a 104-page

4 report on the breach last July. Although it is stamped ‘Sensitive but Unclassified,’ the
5 report was heavily redacted in the version released to the public, with page after page
6
blacked out entirely.”

Saturday, April 19, 2008
15
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the
16 State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan
Police Department said yesterday.
17
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal
18 investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of
the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo,
19 head of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when
20 gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which
investigators would describe only as a blue car.
21
Emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
22 City police said they do not know whether his death was a direct result of
his cooperation with federal investigators.
23 We don’t have any information right now that connects his murder to that
case,” Cmdr. Anzallo said.
24 Police say a “shot spotter” device helped an officer locate Lt. Harris.
25 A State Department spokeswoman yesterday declined to comment, saying
the investigation into the passport fraud is ongoing.

The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State
1 Department had improperly accessed passport information for presidential
2 candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain,
which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency’s top ranks.
3 One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S.
District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told
4 federal authorities he obtained “passport information from a co-conspirator who
works for the U.S. Department of State.
5

6 There is a possibility that the breaches of the passport files associated with the

7 “credit-card fraud scheme” were a cover for or associated with the breaches of the

8 passport files by the employee of Brennan’s Analysis Corp. This certainly at least should
9 be looked into.
10
Until June 2009, the reasonable doubts about where Obama was born could have
11
quickly and finally been resolved if he had authorized the release by the Hawaiian Dept
12
of Health of his original birth certificate or else applied for it himself and released it to
13

14 the media. But as these doubts have increased and reached the point where they are no

15 longer a “fringe” phenomenon, the Hawaiian state government has recently taken certain

16 steps that would create procedural and possibly legal barriers to a resolution of the
17
controversy. Given the slipperiness that characterized the statements of Chiyome Fukino,
18
the Dept’s Director, and Janice Okubo, the Dept’s spokesperson, to the media on this
19
issue, it is, I think, also reasonable to regard these steps with suspicion.
20
A family that I am acquainted with has a child who was born in Hawaii 6 months
21

22 ago. They filled out and mailed in a form to the Dept of Health, as did their doctor. In

23 return the Dept sent them in the first week of June, 2009, the same abbreviated computer-
24 generated form that last year on the Daily Kos and subsequently on the Obama campaign
25
web site was called a “Certification of Live Birth”. The form that this family received
26
Page 33 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
this year is identical in format to the Certification of Live Birth on the Daily Kos web site
1

2 with one exception: the title at the top of the form.

3 A Certification of Live Birth is an abbreviated document that provides none of the

4 probative information that was or wasn’t on Barack Obama’s original Certificate of


5 Live Birth. Unlike the Certificate of Live Birth of the time when Barack Obama was
6
born, the new Certificate of Live Birth provides no real evidence of where a child was
7
born or indication of where such evidence might be found. It provides no information
8
that would demonstrate to the people of the United States whether there is convincing
9

10 evidence that he was actually born here or whether a relative or two (or possibly even

11 Barack Obama himself) just made a statement to that effect to a low level bureaucrat.

12 (As is permitted under Section 57-40 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the
13
1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii.)
14
On June 7, 2009, a spokeswoman for the Hawaii Department of Health told a
15
rather obvious lie (or engaged in a pretty transparent verbal deception) in another attempt
16
to discourage further investigation into the issue of whether Barack Obama was born on
17

18 Oahu. “The state Department of Health no longer issues copies of paper birth certificates

19 as was done in the past”, said spokeswoman Janice Okubo. “The department only issues
20 ‘certifications’ of live births, and that is the ‘official birth certificate’ issued by the state
21
of Hawaii, she said. ” [Honolulu Star Bulletin]
22
http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html
23
This statement was false or deliberately very misleading. Here, from a Hawaii
24

25 state document that was posted on June 10, 2009, is a description of how to apply for “the

26
Page 34 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
original Certificate of Live Birth” (the original birth certificate) as opposed to the
1

2 Certification of Live Birth:

3 “In order to process your application [to prove native Hawaiian ancestry], DHHL

4 [Department of Hawaiian Homelands] utilizes information that is found only on the


5 original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete
6
record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout).
7
Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the
8
computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.
9

10 “Please note that DOH [Department of Health] no longer offers same day service.

11 If you plan on picking up your certified DOH document(s), you should allow at least 10

12 working days for DOH to process your request(s), OR four to six weeks if you want your
13
certified certificate(s) mailed to you.”
14
http://hawaii.gov/dhhl/applicants/appforms/applyhhl
15
Ms. Okubo’s statement gave the false impression that Obama could not gain
16
access to or release “the original Certificate of Live Birth”, and that it was the DOH’s
17

18 policy rather than his own reluctance that was responsible for the holding back of this

19 Certificate. This was an obvious deception. The document at the Department of


20 Hawaiian Home Lands website indicates that at the time she made this statement it was
21
false, and that a procedure was in place for application for “the original Certificate of
22
Live Birth.”
23
Only the information on the original birth certificate, “the original Certificate of
24

25 Live Birth”, can demonstrate to the people of the United States whether there is

26
Page 35 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
convincing evidence that he was actually born here or whether a relative or two (or
1

2 possibly even Barack Obama himself) just made a statement to that effect to a low level

3 bureaucrat.

4 On July 8, 2009 the web site World Net Daily reported that “The state, which had
5 excluded the controversial document [the Certification of Live Birth] as proof of native
6
Hawaiian status, has changed its policy and now makes a point of including it.”
7
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103408
8
Here is the new statement on the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands web site
9

10 [July 8, 2009]. “The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands accepts both Certificates of

11 Live Birth [original birth certificates and the recently renamed abbreviated computer

12 printouts] and Certifications of Live Birth [as the abbreviated computer printouts were up
13
till recently called] because they are official government records documenting an
14
individual’s birth… Although original birth certificates (Certificates of Live Birth) are
15
preferred for their greater detail, the State Department of Health (DOH) no longer issues
16
Certificates of Live Birth. When a request is made for a copy of a birth certificate, the
17

18 DOH issues a Certification of Live Birth.”

19 http://hawaii.gov/dhhl/applicants/appforms/applyhhl
20 The web site theobamafile.com picked up this significant change in procedure on
21
the Dept. of Hawaiian Homelands website on June 18, 2009.
22
http://www.theobamafile.com/_BogusPOTUS/20090608.htm#HawaiiRuleChange
23
Sometime between June 10, 2009 and June 18, 2009 the State of Hawaii changed
24

25 its rule on what documents and data were necessary to prove Hawaiian ancestry, thereby

26
Page 36 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
upgrading the apparent status of the abbreviated Certification of Live Birth which it had
1

2 formerly regarded as insufficiently probative. Why?

3 On June 6, Janice Okubo, the Dept of Health spokeswoman, also told the Star

4 Bulletin that “The electronic record of the birth is what (the Health Department) now
5 keeps on file in order to provide same-day certified copies at our help window for most
6
requests.” There is a troubling ambiguity in this statement. A sophisticated forensic
7
investigation would probably be able to determine whether the original paper Certificate
8
of Live Birth was forged, altered, or authentic. But if the data from the original paper
9

10 Certificates of Live Birth has been transferred to an electronic record and then the

11 original documents were discarded, part of the data could easily have been changed in the

12 transfer or subsequently altered. We know from a document posted on June 10, 2009 on
13
the Department of Hawaiian Homelands website that up until very recently, the original
14
paper Certificates of Live Birth were maintained by the Dept of Health, and copies of
15
them were provided to confirm claims of Hawaiian ancestry. But if in June the
16
Department of Hawaiian Homelands has decided that it will no longer require the original
17

18 Certificate of Live Birth as proof for special privileges and the Department of Health

19 spokesman says firmly that they will no longer provide copies of these original
20 certificates, is it possible that, in the midst of the controversy over where Barack Obama
21
was born, the Hawaiian state government has destroyed the original paper certificate of
22
live birth?

7.0 PRESENTMENT OF FINDINGS

Page 37 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Plaintiffs believe that probable cause exists to warrant the indictment of the
1

2 above-named defendants on the following charge:

3
TREASON – Against the United States of America
4
Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution provides as follows:
5
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War
6
against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort, No
7
Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to
8
the same overt Act 1 , or on Confession in open Court.
9
See Cramer v. United States, 325 U.S. 1 (1945), (affirming that treason is limited
10
to the waging of war 2 or the giving of material assistance to an enemy).
11
Plaintiffs charge the following:
12

13 Soetoro has never established that defendant is eligible under the laws of the
Constitution of the United States as provided for in Article II, Section 1 to obtain to
14 the office of the President.

15 Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 5 states:


16
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the
17
time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of
18
President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have
19
attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within
20

21 the United States."

22

23
1
Overt acts are such acts as manifest a criminal intention and tend towards the accomplishment of the
24 criminal object. Cramer v. United States, 325 U.S. 1, 7 (1945).
2
25 War is a reciprocated, armed conflict, between two or more non-congruous entities, aimed at reorganizing
a subjectively designed, geo-politically desired result.
26
Page 38 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Soetoro has admitted that he is the son of Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack
1

2 Hussein Obama, and that he was born on August 4, 1961. This record is further

3 corroborated with the Decree of Divorce between S. A. Dunham and B. H. Obama

4 entered on March 4, 1964.


5 Defendant has admitted that at the time of his birth, his father was a British citizen
6
and a Kenyan national. It is a matter of public record that Stanley Ann Dunham, at the
7
time of defendant’s birth, was 18 years of age.
8
Defendant, through third parties acting on his behalf, has tendered a discredited
9

10 and apparently forged Certification of Live Birth claiming to be from the state of Hawaii.

11 See Exhibit 5.

12 Defendant’s grandmother has stated emphatically that she was present at the time
13
of his birth at the Coast Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, and his half-brothers have attested
14
to his Kenyan birth. See Affidavit of Kweli Shuhubia attached hereto as Exhibit 4.
15
No person or entity has appeared as a witness to his alleged birth in Hawaii, and
16
there is no evidence other than the forged Certification of Live Birth indicating that
17

18 defendant was born on American soil. Defendant has refused to release his actual

19 Certificate of Live Birth, and has proffered no other evidence to establish a birth on
20 American soil.
21
Therefore, Plaintiff has determined that probable cause exists to conclude that
22
defendant is not a “natural born citizen” of the United States of America, as required
23
under Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 5, of the United States Constitution, and further
24

25

26
Page 39 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
that defendant has failed to establish that he is in fact a citizen of the United States of
1

2 America.

3 2) Obama was a British citizen 'at birth.'

4 These facts are not in dispute: Under the British Nationality Act 1948, Obama's
5 father was a British citizen/subject when he was born in the English colony of Kenya.
6
Obama's father continued to be such and not a U.S. citizen when Obama was born in
7
1961. Under the same BNA 1948, at birth, regardless of where he was born, Obama also
8
became a British citizen/subject by descent from his British father.
9

10 As applicable only to a Presidential Article II 'natural born Citizen': ...the

11 individual must be born in the United States to a mother and father who are themselves

12 United States citizens (by birth or naturalization). This is to assure that a would-be, all
13
powerful President and Commander in Chief of the Military has sole allegiance and
14
loyalty to the United States from the time of birth.
15
It is public knowledge that Obama has admitted in his writings and otherwise that
16
when he was born, his father was a British citizen/subject and not a United States citizen
17

18 and that at that time he himself also became such. In fact, his father was not even a

19 permanent resident of the United States, but rather only a student who would probably
20 have been here only on a temporary student visa. Hence, not only was Obama's father not
21
a United States citizen but Obama himself was born a British subject/citizen. Hence,
22
clearly, Obama is not and cannot be an Article II 'natural born Citizen.' The operative
23
facts are not in dispute."

Defendants’ Concealment of Soetoro’s Birth Record
1 is a High Crime Against the United States of America
2
Because Soetoro has broken in and entered the White House by force of
3
contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling and deceit, and has seized the seat of the
4
Presidency and has stripped civilian command and control over the military of the United

6 States of America with the intent of destroying and overthrowing the Constitution of the

7 United States of America. Since seizing power illegally and by artifices of fraud, Soetoro

8 has obligated the United States of America to the single largest debt ever incurred by a
9 nation state in history, has nationalized industries by means of unconstitutional and ultra
10
vires contractual arrangements, and has proposed a eugenics program similar in content

Declaro Di1
4
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
5

6 -Psalm 11:3

7 The very foundation of this country was laid upon this precept, “that whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to
8 alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
9
affect their Safety and Happiness”. 2 Howbeit, with that foundational declaration came
10 two other “self evident” truths, the first of which was our fore fathers’ declaration of the
very existence and dependence upon our Creator who endowed such rights as we suppose
11 them to be upon us; and also this exhortation of cautious patience, that “prudence, indeed,
will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and
12 transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more
disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the
13
forms to which they are accustomed”.
14
Yet in these dark days where Governmental ends have in Tyrants’ minds, justified
15 their means, to an irreversible hour that the inexplicable corruptions and abuse of
Governmental powers “derived from the consent of the governed” have created even in
16 the minds of a peaceful, obedient people these very same revolutionary thoughts that
17 fearfully started this great country, and yet now contemplate the abolishment of that very
state which for over two centuries has been the noblest means for securing a peoples’
18 undeserved endowment from their Creator. This author dares say “undeserved” in that, if
such “unalienable rights” be endowed from our Creator, then such endowment lands
19 upon we Creatures3 here below, the mere acknowledgment of such doth bind us to serve
Him for the indebtedness of such endowment; and by such noble servitude we soundly
20 proclaim that in this one universal state of being “all men equal”, we are not before God a
21 Free People in deed of this single most indebtedness to God.

22 “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves

23 Servants to obey, his servants ye are


24
To whom ye obey?”
25
-Romans 6:16
26
Page 55 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Our freedoms and liberties are pluralistic only in those things that are beyond that
1 endowment that binds us to God our Creator in acknowledgement of “the Truth” that
2 stands so self evident to all. In word and thereby in deed we are a Free People in things
related to man, but not free from God who created “all men equal” in things relating to
3 man.

4 “If God therefore shall make you free,


5 ye shall be free indeed.”
6
-John 8:36
7
“Mighty in deed and word
8
before God and all the people.”
9

10 -Luke 24:19

11 Vox Vero4: The deed by which we are endowed by our Creator is signed by our fore
fathers in word of that very Declaration of our Independence from the Tyranny of Man,
12 by which we declare our freedom and liberty from the bondage of Tyrants and Despots
that would usurp God’s authority as the Author and Mover of our Happiness and the
13
Endower of our rights; by wresting that form of government so “derived from the consent
14 of the governed”, and replace it with the tyranny of an antichrist rule5, where mere men
exalt their seats of government so “derived from the consent of the governed” into the
15 throne of God as the absolute Despot to decide what rights we have and to whom they
apply and do not apply.
16

17 “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,

18 or that is worshipped; so that he AS GOD

19 sitteth in the temple of God,


20
shewing himself that he is God.”
21
-2 Thessalonians 2:4
22
Howbeit, it is God alone and not man that endowed these unalienable rights to we His
23 subjects. And Governments are created when in the wisdom of God and man, a Free
People consent to give certain powers to men like ourselves, chosen from among us as
24
being like us, to “organiz[e] its powers in such form” as to secure to themselves and their
25 fellows that chose them, these unalienable rights of the people they serve in such capacity
as we call Government of the People, for the People and by the People. Without
26
Page 56 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Government, men rule as gods, dictators and monarchs. By the Declaration of
1 Independence we threw off the latter, and by love of liberty we repudiate the second! But
2 shall we as men serve men as gods?

3 “I have said, Ye are gods;

4 And all of you are children of the most High.


5 But ye shall die like men.”
6
-Psalm 82:6, 7
7
God Almighty lives; and governments will live on, but only so long as men are free to
8 serve God and not man. Free to enjoy as equals those unalienable rights endowed upon
them from God alone and not man. Free to consent to be governed by their fellows who
9
never forget they are fellow men and not gods; and the consent of their fellows to allow
10 them to govern rests only in their duty before God of being true men, qualified and
Constitutionally elected for the securing of the rights of their fellows and the protection
11 of the same. Howbeit, none of these shall prevail or long endure unless there remains an
absolute final authority that constitutes the laws by which men consent to be governed by
12 themselves, and an absolute final authority by which both man and his governments are
subject unto God. America’s Constitution stands as the former. The word of God stands
13
alone as the latter. The throwing off of the latter gave birth to secularist humanism with a
14 devilish craving to eat up the former on its way to becoming a god and not man. The
destruction of the former is the end of the Republic, the fall of equal rights, and the
15 damnation of America as she has always been known before God.
16 The hour has come when the unalienable rights of a Free People are threatened with
17 a tyrannical destruction from Government that wrests such powers derived by the consent
of the governed, into a satanical belief that they can use such powers to force the
18 governed into likewise consenting to the surrender of those unalienable rights. In these
last days of a most vicious war loving administration, that same Government has grown
19 into such a Tyrant that it would kill its own people in mass to establish a warlord political
agenda for destroying all that remains of our Constitution by which we consent to be
20 governed, and under which we have these unalienable rights as a Free People. It has long
21 been established before the Highest Court of this Government, that our unalienable rights
cannot be taken from us, or transferred to another. They can only be surrendered, and
22 once surrendered there is no discovered way to get them back. Our rights so constituted
are not pluralistic in the various concepts for which they stand. They are not a deck of
23 cards to played over and again. They are singular in each regard, whether it be freedom to
speak, freedom to assemble, freedom to bear arms, or freedom to worship. There exist no
24 “freedoms to speak”, that allow the speaker to play his hand over and over as he wishes
25 for convenience sake, so long as he does not use up the last of his deck of cards. Non
Secus, Haud Secus! Not so! Even as the courts have long held that the accused right to
26
Page 57 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
self incrimination is singular and not plural, so that once given up for one statement, it
1 cannot be gathered back to protect against further statements. That surrendered right is
2 gone forever. So too belongs this doctrine of factual reality to all our rights as a Free
People.
3
“We the people” have suffered long since America’s first civil unrest to throw off
4 tyranny, in repeated suppressions and violations of our Constitutional rights. Howbeit, as
our fathers ably stated, “we are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to
5 right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed”; and so we have
6 since the last Great War suffered repeated violations of individual rights, as long as we
could appeal to the Highest Court for redress, in order to right those grievances so
7 tyrannically loaded upon us by mere men under color of law. And thus would a peaceful
people continue therein, as long as the Courts granted standing to the people to redress
8 these wrongs under the authority of our Constitution’s clear language. But alas, now
Tyrants think to deny even our standing to suit for redress and relief from
9
unconstitutional oppressions and violations.
10
And to add to these unbearable torments, in these last days, Government now forces
11 upon us an unbearable injustice, and trampling of the Constitution of the United States, in
thinking to force the people to accept a foreigner as the President of this Republic,
12 ignoring the single most important qualification for the highest office in our land, that
such a one, not just gain such “power by the consent of the governed”, but that he be
13
naturally born amongst us as one of us. There has never been an alternative option to
14 replace “a natural born citizen” as the President of these United States. The Constitution
knows no such option. Howbeit, the Federal Courts have repeatedly refused the people’s
15 right to challenge such unprecedented trampling and violation of what the Constitution
clearly says, and to date refuses to require such an Imposter to prove his “natural born”
16 citizenship. Those who challenge such facts are libeled as racists, when nothing further
could be true. With repeated Constitutional challenges to this Dreamer’s fraud upon the
17
Constitutional requirements that he be “naturally born” among us, lying dormant before
18 the Highest Court, where Justice Souter has no ears to hear it Constitutionally, nor
courage to act to enforce such, What are Peaceable Men to Do? What is it that God
19 requires of Peaceable Men and lovers of liberty to do? For fifty years the Tyrants in
Washington have taken God from the minds of the people foremost, so that the Law is
20 King, and tyranny will decide what is law! Now men cower under an overwhelming
21 despotism that rattles its sword and murders its own people, to suppress the voice of God
and the people, so that silence is the sound of good men dying as Tyrants march them
22 over the precipice of an antichrist rule of death over the Republic for which we all once
stood! Men are want to know what saith the Lord God and Creator of all men equal!
23
Juris Prudence has held in every state of our Union, and before the Highest Court of
24 our Republic this principle of a Constitutional Government of Laws and not men, “An
25 unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but
wholly null and ineffective for any purpose. It imposes no duty, confers no rights,
26
Page 58 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
CREATES NO OFFICE, BESTOWS NO POWER OR AUTHORITY ON ANYONE,
1 affords no protection and justifies no acts performed under it. No one is bound to obey
2 an unconstitutional statute, and no courts are bound to enforce it.”6

3 With the Unconstitutional ascension to the highest office of our Land, a man that by
means of his very birth, is by the Constitution unqualified to hold the Office of President,
4 we are now faced with an unprecedented constitutional challenge to the free people of
this Republic, to either surrender that blessed document that our fathers laid as the very
5 “foundation” of law from which we define and derive all unalienable rights from God
6 Almighty, or map for ourselves as our fathers mapped for us, another course of history,
guided by prudence, supported by the Constitution, and blessed and directed of God. To
7 fail in any of these three, will ultimately and tragically destroy the very foundation we
seek to preserve, and abolish all that history has known as the United States of America.
8
Because our system of fairness and hope to all peoples that they may be, like we, free
9
and independent from the tyranny of men and devils, we establish means to migrate
10 others to this land of liberty and promise, that they like our fathers may live to give unto
their children that rightful inheritance of being “natural born citizens” and not mere
11 immigrants naturalized to a citizenship not theirs from birth.

12 “And the chief captain came, and said unto him,


13
Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
14
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum
15
obtained I this freedom. And Paul said,
16

17 But I was Free Born.”

18 -Acts 22:27, 28

19 But never should this Free People, naturally born to such a precious inheritance of
freedom by birth as natural born citizens ever allow such an endowment, purchased with
20 the blood of countless fathers and sons throughout our rich heritage, to so cheaply pass to
21 foreigners born abroad, or citizens of other countries. None should so presume to falsify
and deceive and repudiate the very foundational right of we natural born citizens, to be
22 governed by none but those like unto us. God deliver us. But what are men to do? When
all that lands upon their ears is from Tyrants’ mouths, and liberal puppets tied by strings
23 to an agenda so vile before God and man, that to voice any difference is to be set upon
with such vile hatred as to make strong men shutter and weak men lament like widows
24
for the husbands of their youth7.
25
“The vile person shall be no more called Liberal
26
Page 59 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
…for the vile person will speak
1

2 villany, and his heart will

3 work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy,

4 and to utter error against the Lord.


5
But the liberal deviseth liberal things;
6
and by liberal things shall he stand.”
7
-Isaiah 32:5-8
8
Yet in the beginning of this Republic, voices were heard before shots were fired to re-
9
enforce the thoughts of those voices so daring as to utter righteousness before man in
10 God’s stead. And the words so written from our forefathers were convincing even unto
this day, that the Founding Fathers knew the mind of God, and thus were not intimidated
11 by threats of imprisonment or death. Yet in these last days, where Tyrants’ minds have
“devised liberal things”, and uttered so much error before the Creator of all men, that the
12 liberal, vile cacophony resounds throughout the land to drown out doubtful voices, whose
only authority rests in the Document now being trampled underfoot of Tyrants with the
13
innocent blood of their citizens dripping from their hands. Voices so accustomed to being
14 stifled by the drumming of the majority’s whims and fancies to be free from God and
laws of righteousness unalienable to all men, those weakened utterances have little or no
15 effect, for lack of any authority that runs deep to the conscience of man’s soul! The halls
of Congress are silent in sounds and words of the Creator of all men, where endless laws
16 are passed to rid even the memory of the God of America’s fore fathers. Pulpits are filled
17 with errant diatribes about a god no one knows, and none have heard in fifty years or
more! Much is said and scribbled across reams of paper of all these injustices, and that
18 which is heard is of little effect having no authority to stand to in support thereof.

19 “And they were astonished at his doctrine:


20 for he taught them as one that had authority,
21
and not as the scribes.”
22
-Mark 1:22
23
O, what are men to do in this hour? Without God, they can do nothing8, and so it
24
cometh to pass that they do nothing! And what they do by voice without God is ignored
25 for lack of authority or impact, and lack of conscience to stand at all costs behind their
given voice. Men will not stand for a piece of paper unless God is in it. Their conscience
26
Page 60 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
forbids it, and without such strength of conscience, their voice gives way to fear for lack
1 of authority behind what they say they believe. But the time has come when this lack of
2 conscience and authority and courage to stand at all costs goes no further; but rather gives
place to the foundational truths that established this great nation, even at the costs of our
3 lives and fortunes. As our fathers Declared their Independence from the tyranny of
monarchial men, it now behooves all free men of courage and conscience to declare of
4 God Almighty what course they now take when the consent of the governed has now
diabolically transformed such writ into the enslavement of the governed to foreign
5 influence, foreign political agendas and now a foreign head of state.
6
“ Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace–but there is no peace…
7
What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?
8
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased
9

10 at the price of chains and slavery?

11 Forbid it, Almighty God!


12 I know not what course others may take;
13
but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
14
-Patrick Henry
15
The hour has come and passed already, wherein this preacher weighs opinions any
16 further in this matter. It matters not what others say or wish to do, or what they would
17 have for another day of peace, “when there is no peace”9. Having walked these many
years with God as a child of the King, whose supremacy is above all others, this old man
18 knows the Declaration of God for this hour, and cannot go back, come what may.
DECLARO DI!
19
“We ought to obey God rather than men!”
20

21 -Acts 5:29

22 Let weaker men and women enslave themselves at will in surrendering what cannot
be taken from them, to gain what they cannot keep or long enjoy, while liberals and
23 devils laugh them to scorn. But as for this old man, my conscience forbids that I go that
way to save another day at large without God or conscience! It has long been established
24
in the Declaration of God that “if thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent
25 perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is
higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they” (Ecclesiastes 5:8). So
26
Page 61 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
too cometh this Declaration of God, that “if the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee,
1 leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences” (10:5).
2
Let Justice Souter and his fellows ignore their consciences along with the
3 Constitution, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord with a clear conscience;
and will never surrender the liberty of our conscience to the lies and frauds of a foreigner
4 who seeketh to govern not by consent of the governed in accordance to the Constitution
or the Word of God, but by lies and deceit without conscience towards God or the people
5 of this United States. Forbid it Almighty God! It matters not what course the majority
6 may take, this child of God will not serve, obey or recognize an unlawful governor or
head of state that is not natural born to these United States. Take my liberty, my house
7 and lands and by force of strength my life, but you will not get the liberty of my
conscience before God Almighty to refuse an unlawful command or office before God
8 and the Constitution of these United States. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17), and that is all that the Constitution of these United States

and the Declaration of Independence is about. That is all that the history of America is
10 about. That is the Declaration of God and the gift of God, and such liberty of conscience
before God is so right, that neither men nor devils will ever take it by force from a Free
11 People in service of the God that created them so. Only by deceit can such an unalienable
right of liberty be surrendered to the tyranny of men.
12
It is the darkest of hours for this country, but one of the greatest to be one of the brave
13
and one of the free! It matters not what a corrupt and murderous government may say of
14 itself, or threaten to others. Now is the time to stand to one’s conscience before God and
his family. There is no scripture from God compelling men and women to obey lies,
15 frauds and the murderous declarations of unrighteous governments bent for hell to over
throw the consciences and wills of a Free People. Whether civilian or military, the laws
16 of this land forbid it. I can do no less! Before God Almighty, with whom we have to do,
we cannot render tribute nor honor unto those to whom no tribute nor honor is due
17
(Romans 13:7). The hour is come that to ignore what is true and clearly factual, because
18 others wish for comforts to do the same, is the destruction of conscience and standing
before God Almighty. We need no ruling of Court howsoever high, to clearly see and
19 know that the present government of these United States murdered its own people in
mass at New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. Terrorists, howsoever
20 radical in their religious extremism killed no one on that fateful day, and God Almighty is
21 witness against the souls of the President and Vice President of this country, for their
hands are dripping red with blood, that no vain religious lies will ever cleanse. The souls
22 of every policeman and fireman and citizen of this country that died needlessly that day,
cry out against the executive Tyrants of the Bush Administration that killed them! And
23 the Declaration of God stands firm that “Be sure your sin will find you out!”10
24 Take my lands, my liberty and my life for my refusal to neither serve nor obey this
25 god-man Obama. But you will never have for your lies the surrender of my conscience

9 Bad Stridence: Proof positive that credentials do not
10 equal credibility
11
Ron Polarik, PhD, MS

Synopsis
14
Not long after the release of my final report last November, Obama's Born Conspiracy,
15 a vicious rumor was started and bandied about the pro-Obama websites, that I'm a
"fraud," that I "don't exist," and that this research report is "bunk." The source of this
16 rumor, however, is a charlatan in every sense of the word. He has never read my final
17 report, he is totally clueless about the research I conducted, and hopelessly confused
about the entire birth certificate controversy. The rumormonger has managed to use his
18 lofty-sounding, but irrelevant. credentials to fool other people into thinking that his lies,
slurs, baseless conclusions, and fabricated images have refuted my research when, in fact,
19 they repudiate his credibility and his competence.
20
There is no way for anyone to judge a person's competence and credibility based on his
21 credentials alone. If a person is dishonest in his actions and virtually delusional about his
discoveries, then his credentials are meaningless. To put it another way, when a detractor
22 thinks that his trash talk, interspersed with technical terms, can pass for real research, and
that his credentials shield him from scrutiny, then that detractor is both a fraud and a fool
23 who underestimates and insults the intelligence of the Internet audience.
24
Introduction
25

26
Page 72 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
On June 12, I began my research on the image posted by the Daily Kos that was
1 purported to be Obama's Certification of Live Birth. I did not cite my degree titles and
2 credentials at the time because I wanted my work to speak for itself -- and it has, in
spades. However, as I came to learn, there are some Internet users who give more
3 credence to the paper credentials of a researcher than they give to the merits of the
research itself. For this reason, the online community has been burned twice by
4 "credentialed frauds" who falsely claimed to have proven that Obama's Certification of
Live Birth (COLB) was a forgery. One of these had initially taken credit for forging the
5 COLB image (who later recanted his story), while the other was someone I revealed to be
6 a fraud when I obtained a copy of a real 2007 COLB that did not match the "real one"
that he said he had.
7
Consequently, the ramifications of their actions were to cause people to mistrust anyone
8 now claiming to have proven the COLB image was forged, especially if they listed
themselves as an "expert." Therefore, the last thing I wished to do was to be lumped in
9
with those prior frauds.
10
My final research report, "Obama's Born Conspiracy," is the culmination of four months
11 (now five) of intensive empirical research on Obama's alleged COLB image and
photographs. It contains 160 pages of fully documented research and 140 images for
12 supporting evidence. Anyone who reads this report thoroughly will know that it was
written by a genuine researcher using sound, scientific methods to explore these forgeries
13
in depth. Frauds do not produce 160-page reports with 140 images that fully document
14 the steps taken, that clearly explain the phenomena under investigation, and more
importantly, provide sufficient information to allow other researchers to validate the
15 findings. However, not everyone appreciates all of the hard work that I have done and
some people fervently wish that this report never existed.
16
These are the people who still cling to the lie that Obama has shown his original birth
17
certificate on the Internet. They are so desperate to prove me wrong that they would
18 rather listen to fools than to facts. Predictably, the fools were coming out of the
woodwork. After the release of my final report, I began hearing the rumors about who I
19 am and what I did. I've dealt with critics before, but this one was different. This critic told
a bald-faced lie that he debunked my final report when it is patently obvious that never
20 read it. He is so totally clueless about the work I did, about the problems with the COLB
21 images and photos, and about the entire birth certificate controversy, that I did not know
whether to laugh at him or get angry. However, nobody calls me a "fraud," a "liar," and
22 that I "manipulated evidence" without being confronted and challenged.

23 I tried convincing him to remove his slanderous comments and baseless accusations from
his website, and to quell the vicious rumor that he started, but he refused to do so.
24 Consequently I am forced to write this response to set the record straight and to protect
25 my reputation. He goes by the name of "Dr. Neal Krawetz," and he had the unmitigated
gall to trash my final report -- which he never read -- in a hack-job titled, "Bad Science:
26
Page 73 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
How not to do image analysis, Part II." The great irony of his "Bad Science" screed is
1 that it shows just how clueless, thoughtless, skillless, and disingenuous is Dr.
2 Krawetz:

3 • He is a liar who claimed that he "debunked" my final report when he never read it
or the fifteen other reports I wrote going back to June;
4
• He's a charlatan who falsely used his credentials to fool others into thinking that
5 he is more than qualified to critique my research;
6 • He is clueless as to the actual research I did and the results I found, preferring
7 instead to tell lies and to fabricate findings in his head;

8 • He provided no relevant, concrete evidence of his own to support his baseless


accusations, asking others to believe him on faith alone;
9
• He used unrelated images, that he intentionally manipulated for effect, to
10 fraudulently claim that they "refute" my research findings;
11 • He used different image formats that he deceptively claimed were of the same
type to trick his audience into accepting them as comparable;
12

13 • He closed off his blog when I confronted him, and then secretly replaced these
same manipulated images to hide the evidence of his deceit;
14
• He does not have the research skills or the experience I have in working with
15 COLB images to replicate even one of my experiments;
16 • He used lies, baseless accusations, faulty logic, unsubstantiated claims, and
17 character assassinations to demean me and denigrate my research;.

18 • He's never seen or held an actual Certification of Live Birth (COLB) document as
I have;
19
• He has never produced a single scanned copy of Certification of Live Birth
20 (COLB) document while I have made over 100;
21 • He's never analyzed a single Certification of Live Birth (COLB) document image
in depth as I have;
22

23 • He's never created a single test image of a Certification of Live Birth (COLB)
document while I have created over 600;
24
• He knows nothing about the Obama birth certificate controversy, confusing
25 fiction for fact, and then making erroneous proclamations;
26
Page 74 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
• He doesn't know what scanners can or cannot do; i.e., saying that they can't copy
1 a COLB Seal, the folds, and its texture while I've done all three.
2
• He doesn't know what are scanner artifacts or even common JPG artifacts and
3 frequently confuses the two;

4 • He tosses around technical terms to dazzle his audience but uses them incorrectly
and inappropriately, and without definition;
5
• He falsely compared a magazine page (typographic text on white paper) and a
6 paper COLB (laser-printed graphic on thin, green security paper);
7 • He frequently contradicts himself to the point where his conclusions don't match
8 his assessments, and vice-versa;

9 • His screed and my report were peer-reviewed by an objective third party who
gave my research a "Thumbs Up" and Krawetz a "Thumbs down."
10
• His screed was repudiated by World Net Daily, while my final report was
11 corroborated by one of the top document forensics expert in the country.
12
The credentials Krawetz claims to have do not convey his credibility, but do confirm
13 their irrelevance to my research report.

14 Recently my final report was reviewed by one of the foremost forensic investigators in
the country. She is a leader in document forensics and an expert in distinguishing forgery
15 from genuineness. Her name is Sandra Lines, and she is a former Federal Examiner and a
retired Law Enforcement Officer. Without question, she is infinitely more qualified than
16
Krawetz to render an expert opinion on my final report, and she has corroborated it and
17 fully supports its conclusions. Unless Krawetz can absorb information by osmosis, he has
no excuse for failing to read my report. Since Krawetz has already planted both feet in his
18 mouth, by going on record as having read it, it's too late for him to start now.
19 Krawetz and his crowd like to taunt me with "Krawetz is a Real PhD with a Real Name
and is a Real Expert," but I got my Masters degree before Krawetz was born, and my
20
Doctorate while he was still in grade school. I can say, flat-out, that Krawetz does not
21 have anything close to the research skills I have and, consequently, he could never
replicate the research I conducted if he tried. Krawetz has done nothing to refute my
22 research, and his plan to verbally tear me down in order to build himself up has not
worked.
23

24 I have prepared a detailed response to Krawetz's "Bad Science" screed below. It identifies
all of his lies, falsehoods, distortions, character assassinations, baseless
25 accusations, fallacious conclusions, flawed logic, and intentional deceptions that he
made. For someone who claims to be such an "expert" on image graphics, Krawetz
26
Page 75 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
demonstrates throughout his "Bad Science" just how wrong someone with "credentials"
1 can possibly be.
2

4 Response to "Bad Science," or


"How not to review something you failed to read"
5

7
Krawetz has not read my report and he has no factual understanding of the Obama
8 birth certificate controversy, which is patently obvious from the first words he
utters (Krawetz in italics):
9
Before I begin evaluating Polarik's claims, I would like to point out that the entire claim -
10 - that Obama was not born in Hawaii -- is false. (Lie #1)
11
Representatives from the State of Hawaii have repeatedly authenticated Obama's COLB.
12 (Lie #2)

13 27-June-2008. Janice Okubo from the Hawaii Department of


Health confirmed that the document was valid. (Lie #3)
14

15 15-Aug-2008. Politifact validated the information. (Lie #4)

16 31-Oct-2008 (alternate link). Quote: Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino
said today she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified
17 that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate. (True, but Lie#5
based on how he used it)
18

19 Hawaii confirmed that Obama has a real birth certificate from Hawaii. Regardless of
whether the document on the web is real or tampered, the argument is moot; an authentic
20 document exists. Thus, the conspiracy has no basis. (Lie #6)
21 Now, given that Hawaii confirms it, why would they release a fake COLB when they
could just as easily release a new one? (Lie #7 )
22

23 Clearly, Krawetz has no idea what he's saying here and cannot discern fact from fiction.
Krawetz does not even understand the basics of the birth certificate controversy, and what
24 actually transpired in Hawaii's Health Department. In reference to me, Krawetz said,
25 Today, there is only one person who continues to propagate the "COLB is fake"
26 conspiracy. (Lie #8)

Page 76 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY


I don't know where Krawetz has been hiding for the past few months, but there are now
1 tens of millions of people who continue to call for Obama to release his real, original
2 birth certificate --something Obama has never done anywhere, at any time. Likewise,
there are several million or so who are convinced that the COLB posted online is a fake.
3 AOL recently conducted an online poll as to whether Obama's failure to produce his birth
certificate So much for Krawetz's one-person "conspiracy." Krawetz is part of a shrinking
4 minority who continue to claim that Obama had released his original birth certificate in
mid-June.
5

6 He calls himself "Ron Polarik" (an anonymous pseudonym -- not his real name), and he
also uses bad science to support his claims.(Lie #9)
7
"Anonymous pseudonym" is an oxymoron, and given that my name, Dr. Ron Polarik, is
8 known around the world, I am hardly "anonymous." Krawetz uses the term, pseudonym,
as a pejorative to imply that I am a "fraud." The truth is that "Dr. Ron Polarik" is the first
9
person to blow the whistle on Obama and Factcheck for creating and proffering a false
10 identification document, and in doing so, I did not ingratiate myself with the die-hard,
Obama crowd who would like nothing better than to shut me up. For this and other
11 legitimate reasons, I chose not to stand on a rooftop and shout my name or waving my
credentials around like a flag as Dr. Krawetz has done in a desperate attempt to get
12 attention. I am being cautious and rightfully so. Yet, what did I do to Krawetz to
engender such utter distain? Nothing!
13

14 Krawetz, on his own accord, came hunting after me with a vengeance, but he was
outgunned from the start. Krawetz has clearly demonstrated that he knows nothing about
15 the actual research I conducted over four months and nothing about the scientific
methods I used. For him to even imply that I use "bad science," only underscores his
16 pretentiousness. Someone has to end this charade, and it fell upon me to tell Krawetz that
he's spitting into the wind.
17

18 The first thing that Krawetz needs to do is take some Birth Certificate 101, as he does not
know what is the difference between a Hawaiian Certificate of Birth and a Certification
19 of Live Birth. He has no knowledge on what each of them contain, how they look in
person or when they are scanned or copied. His "Bad Science" screed offers no relevant
20 evidence whatsoever to support his claims and his accusations. Not a single COLB
21 image scan is presented for examination.

22 At the beginning of this hastily-prepared mess, Krawetz makes a rather astounding


conclusion when he says that "Regardless of whether the document on the web is real or
23 tampered, the argument is moot." Is there anything more preposterous than for Krawetz
to admit that the document on the web "can be a forgery," but that document fraud is "no
24 big deal?" If that's his logic, then why did he attack the research that would confirm his
25 admission? For all his bluster, Krawetz has no clue about the seriousness of document
fraud, the significance of Obama spending a million dollars to duck the issue entirely, as
26
Page 77 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
well as having no handle on what my research entails and the science behind it. After all,
1 why let the biggest fraud in American political history get in the way of Kraetz cracking
2 on me for no, good reason:

3 Polarik's findings are not supported by the data. He has manipulated evidence,
selectively ignored facts, and overlooked obvious findings. He has made over-reaching
4 and gross assumptions, which vary from baseless to provable inaccurate. Moreover, he
claims vague credentials that are unsupported by his work. I have serious doubts about
5 Polarik having a Ph.D., but he sure has a lot of BS.
6
Which part of that is NOT a bald-faced lie??? I never manipulated anything! Is
7 Krawetz so full of himself to think that I would read this and then go off into a corner to
cry? Does he think that I am as spineless as he is and would be afraid to call him out?
8 After stripping away all of the vitriolic language in Krawetz's "Bad Science" screed,
along with the lies, baseless accusations, unsubstantiated claims, and faulty logic, what
9
remains is rather meaningless as it bears no relevance, whatsoever, to the research I
10 conducted, to the results I found, and to the real process of scientific inquiry that is so
foreign to him.
11
Krawetz has forced me to do what I absolutely tried to avoid, and what I dread having to
12 do now, and that is to take everything he wrote, go through it line by line, lie by lie,
falsehood by falsehood, and point out every bogus claim and comment that he has made.
13

14 Here we go:

15 Polarik claims that a zoom-up of the letters contains off-color pixels that do not belong.
For example, zooming in shows gray dots in the middle of the black letters. He claims
16 that this means that the letters were replaced. (Lie #10)
17
I never said anything about "off-color" pixels. I specifically mentioned "white and gray-
18 shaded pixels between the letters." I've said this repeatedly for six months.

19 For example, zooming in shows gray dots in the middle of the black letters. He claims
that this means that the letters were replaced. (Lie #11).
20

21 I never said anything about any "gray dots in the middle of the black letters," either!
These two statements confirm that Krawetz failed to read my final report, as well as any
22 and all of my interim reports from June 13 to December 3. I have said it so many times
that I am blue in the face, and I’ll say it again: that the lack of any greenish colored pixels
23 in between the letters cannot occur naturally, and is a result of the original text being
covered over with portions of the background and new text being typed on top of it.
24
Krawetz just does not get it, and I doubt he ever will.
25
Not when he copies one of my images and fashions a lie out of it.
26
Page 78 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
First, the highest copy quality of the COLB contains no instances of the word "BIRTH"
1 that looks like this. (Lie #12)
2
Does Krawetz really expect everyone to simply take his word for it, someone who has
3 already made eleven previous lies? There is no evidence provided to even suggest that
Krawetz did anything beyond looking at something with his naked eyes. Krawetz never
4 identified what is the "highest copy quality of the COLB" that he saw, if any. I've seen
every COLB ever posted along with unposted COLBs from 2006, 2007, and 2008. I
5 seriously doubt that he did anything to enlarge this "copy of the COLB."
6
For someone who claims that I use "bad science," one of the essential task for a
7 researcher is to operationally define his terminology. In my final report -- which
Krawetz never read -- I determined that there is no such thing as an Obama COLB
8 image with the "highest copy quality." In my final report, I demonstrated that when the
Factcheck COLB image is cropped to the same dimensions as the KOS COLB image,
9
and then saved at the previous compression level (defined as the ratio between file size
10 and memory size), they are virtually the same, and that the only difference between them
are the somewhat higher color count in the Factcheck image. I took the trouble to analyze
11 the COLBs at the pixel level by using a graphics program that overlays a pixel-sized grid
on top of the image to differentiate among the individual "dots" of color. Since the pixel
12 grid is not saved or copied, I made a screen capture of the grid and the image:
13
<IMG
14 src="http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/Test-COLBs/web-paint-
1to1.jpg">
15
<IMG
16 src="http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/Test-COLBs/web-paint-
17 12to1.jpg">

18 But, where is the second image I put below it for comparison?? This "BIRTH" image
was created five months ago from the KOS COLB image and using the same screen
19 capture process, I made a comparison image from a real, 2008 COLB. Krawetz
conveniently left it out, that is, if he even found it on his own. My final report has 140
20 images, and Krawetz has to deliberately break up a set of mine to do what exactly?
21 Where is this "highest copy quality" to which Krawetz refers? Does it exist only in his
head along with the unsubstantiated conclusions he made?
22
Once again, I refer back to my final report where the followed comparisons are made:
23

24 Here is the "HOUR OF BIRTH" header from Barack's COLB enlarged 5 times:
25

26
Page 79 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY

2 src="http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/small-COLBS/BHO-birth.jpg">

3 Here's the same header taken from Dan's


2007 COLB scanned at the same resolution with the same amount of
4 file compression:
5 <IMG
6 src="http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/small-COLBS/Dan-birth.jpg">

7 For those who still cling to the myth that Obama actually released his real Certification of
Live Birth, there are no limits to the number of cockeyed excuses they have made to
8 permit this bogus birth certificate to exist -- which it does not -- while simultaneously
calling for my research to be replicated and peer-reviewed! In six months time since the
9
question, "Where is Obama's original birth certificate"" was first asked, there has been
10 this one, and only one, scan image
presented that Obama supporters allege was made from the front side of Obama's
11 "original birth certificate." Obama's "Fight The Smears website still proclaims it as such."
Meanwhile, I have made well over 100 original COLB scans, both
12 front and back, at various settings, that I have thoroughly analyzed and repeatedly tested.
how is what I did in any way comparable to zero COLB scans made by Krawetz or zero
13
COLB copies that he supposedly examined?
14
I demonstrated that the pixel patterns I discovered were also visible in the Factcheck
15 image, but were not present in any of the more than 100 scans I made using three
different scanners! "Word of mouth" is not a part of the scientific method.
16

17

18
Every instance [of the word, "BIRTH"] has that green thatched background around the
19 letters. (Lie #12)

20 By saying that every instance has that green thatched background around the letters, he
contradicts himself because he acknowledges later on that the lack of greenish pixels
21
around the letters are the result of "compression algorithms." apparently Krawetz is
22 looking at a COLB copy at its original size and without any magnification. No wonder he
does not see anything of interest! If you look back at the previous Obama COLB image,
23 you will see no "green thatched background" around the letters. Remember that I never
talked about any "pixel halos" (as Factcheck called them) but specifically limited my
24 analysis to the pixels in between the letters. This distinction is crucial and one that
Krawetz repeatedly misses.
25

26
Page 80 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Along with the missing green from outside the letters, Polarik claims that there should be
1 a green thatched pattern within the letters ("O", "B", etc. have internal areas that should
2 contain green) (Lie #13).

3 I never said anything about a "green thatched pattern" being inside the letters. I have to
conclude at this point, that K is hopelessly confused as to what I said, what I did, and
4 what I examined. Krawetz has absolutely no business claiming that he has done
otherwise. If he had read my report, then he would have known that I have only talked
5 about the white and grayish pixels in between the letters. I specifically stated that the
6 appearance of these white and grayish pixels in between the letters are what rule out
any naturally-occurring process. This is not rocket science for anyone who actually read
7 my final report would know this.

8 However, the green thatch [in the middle of the letters] is not as clear as the rest of the
image. This happens because the image is at a very low quality (Error #1).
9

10 He said earlier that he was looking at the "highest quality" COLB image. Now he says
that the image "is at a very low quality." So, which is it? I don't know how
11 Krawetz defines, "Quality," but, like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. From a
pragmatic point-of-view, quality is a measure of how closely a perceived image matches
12 the physical object in appearance. I have a real, paper COLB, whereas
Krawetz has never seen one. I know what its physical appearance looks like and what its
13
virtual appearance looks like in both digital scans and photographs.
14
In other words, I speak from facts and experience working with a real COLB, something
15 that no one else has done. The reason why I have 700 images is because they are products
of all the tests I ran, comparing all of the other alternative explanations that people have
16 given as to why I was obtaining the results I found. If I wanted to "manipulate evidence,"
17 then all I would have are a handful of images I "doctored," as "Dr" Krawetz might claim.

18 JPEG uses a lossy compression algorithm that drops off low contrast colors and
preserves high contrast. (Errors #2 and #3)
19
Does Krawetz think that everyone reading his screed understands what he means by
20 saying that "JPEG uses a lossy compression algorithm?" Except for Mac owners, the
21 average reader does not know that JPEG and JPG are synonymous. Saying that, "JPEG
uses a lossy compression algorithm," is like saying that "automobiles use energy
22 inefficiently." A JPEG may use any one of a dozen separate compression algorithms that
attempt to control or eliminate different kinds of artifacts that degrade the perceived
23 quality of a JPG image. JPG artifacts do not, however, cause the white and grayish
pixels in between the letters of the Obama COLB, and anyone who claims that they do
24 is dead wrong. End of story.

The black text on light background is preserved, but the pale green thatch on light green
1 paper blends together when combined with the high-contrast black lettering. (Error #4
2 and #5)

3 What does Krawetz mean when he says, light background, light green paper, and pale
green thatch? The paper used for the COLB document is green with darker green pairs of
4 bars printed on it that run perpendicular to each other and in alternating patterns. The
original paper COLB shows clear, black lettering on the green patterned paper. If a real
5 COLB is scanned as a color document at 300DPI or higher, you will be able to see
6 nothing but green inside, around, and between the letters. There is no automatic blending
in colors that would yield gray and
7 white pixels in between the letters, but green and white pixels everywhere else.

8 The loss of the green background when scanned is intentional. Security paper, such as
the green thatched background, is designed to distort when scanned. That's a security
9
measure. Thus, even if Polarik had not tampered with the
10 image, removing the green from around the letters, the thatch background should not be
crisp. (Error #6 and #7, Bald-faced Lie #14 and Slander #1)
11
Krawetz is calling me a liar, here by saying that I "tampered with the image." That is a
12 bald-faced lie and slanderous, too. Besides never reading my final report, Krawetz has
also never experimented with COLB images, never made a scan
13
image of a real COLB, never made a photograph of a COLB, never made a scan image or
14 photograph of anything even remotely resembling a COLB, and never stopped to realize
that he is uniquely unqualified to review my research.
15
For "comparison" purposes, he presents two images comprised of two, totally-different
16 formats that he fraudulently claims were made from one scan allegedly made from an
17 object that is totally incomparable to a real COLB in every way possible:

18 The biggest COLB online is 2550x3300 pixels. At 300dpi, that is 8.5"x11" (a full sheet of
paper). I scanned in a portion of a Newsweek article at 300dpi. The portion that I
19 selected contains text at various sizes and thicknesses. Looking
at the paper version, it all looks uniform and black. However, the scanned image (full
20 color, no enhancements, scanned on an HP Scanjet 3570c) shows that the black text
21 contains a variety of colors. (bald-faced Lie #15 & #16)

22 Krawetz is intentionally trying to pull a fast one here, and he thinks that everyone else is
simply too ignorant to know what he is doing. Anyone in their right image-graphic mind
23 would honestly say that JPEG is not suitable for images with black text on white paper
and images with sharp lines. Conversely, someone who didn't know Jack about images
24 or scanners would not think twice about taking a two-color, black on white magazine
25 page, original, printed by Rotogravure at 2400 dpi, and then scan it as a full-color copy at
300DPI -- which is what Krawetz did.
26
Page 82 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
On the other hand, if someone wanted to intentionally introduce a lot of color noise into a
1 second image, and pretend like it's just an enlargement of the first, he would change the
2 image format. Then he would further deceive his audience by claiming that his test
images are the same thing as copying a green-paper COLB document graphic that was
3 printed by a laser, then he would have done everything that Krawetz did.

4 However, this image is a 72 DPI JPG, and not 300 DPI. It is also saved at 2.5%
5 Krawetz presents a second image that he claims is a 400% enlargement of the previous
6 image:

7 A closer inspection of the photo; i.e., looking at the image information, shows it to be a
24-bit color PNG bitmap, an image format with six times the number of colors as the first
8 image. Here is how this demonstration should have been done (even though it is totally
unrelated to scanning COLBS):

24 All of the images are approximately the same file size and memory size as the ones
Krawetz used. What is different from his is that I did not deceptively and secretly
25 introduce noise into the image.
26
Page 83 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
During the time that he locked me out of his blog, Krawetz switched the images shown
1 above! I was able to enter via another portal, so his attempt to block me failed. Plus, the
2 night before I sent my Cease and Desist demand, I made a full HTML copy of his web
page that contained "Bad Science II" or BS-II for short, so I know what images were
3 subsequently switched. Now, instead of a JPG and a PNG, there are two GIF files, which
are image formats restricted to 256 colors, instead of the 4,527 colors for the JPG and
4 27,557 colors for the PNG. In other words, Krawetz switched to a format that did not
reveal the color noise of the second image that he deliberately interjected into the first.
5 Thus, Krawetz is not only a liar, but also a desperate one as well, willing to use deception
6 and trickery to support his baseless claims. Given that he has now flimflammed his
audience twice, what he says below is now meaningless gibberish.
7
The areas of text that should be all black are not uniformly black. Combining these "non-
8 black" areas with the JPEG lossy compression (which uses 8x8 blocks) yields square
patches that are different dark colors. (Error #8 & #9 and Lie #17)
9

10 Krawetz deliberately introduced noise into his scan image by creating a color JPG from a
B&W source. He lied about the scanning resolution of the images. He lied about the
11 image format -- TWICE! He's talking about the presence of "dark colors" in an image
that should only contain white, black, and minimal shades of gray. He created these
12 "square patches that are different dark colors" by increasing the JPEG compression and
by using the wrong scan settings initially. These random dark gray pixels would not
13
have been there if the Newsweek page was scanned properly and honestly, namely using
14 no more than 16 colors.

15 These look like the exact same artifacts that Polarik claims indicate a forgery. Polarik is
wrong -- they are nothing more than scanner artifacts. (Lies 18 & 19)
16

17 They look absolutely nothing like the pixel patterns I identified. His claim that these
random pixels are "the exact same artifacts" is a bald-faced lie. Does he really think his
18 audience is that stupid? He's already said that I am. First, he intentionally created an
irrelevant image, and then fabricated a second image for "comparison" that he used to
19 fool people into thinking it was equivalent to the COLB images I examined. Krawetz
intentionally introduced noise into his image that should not have been there. Krawetz,
20 therefore, is the fraud.
21
The pixel patterns I found in between the letters are irrefutably not scanner artifacts,
22 and anyone who say that they are is flat-out wrong. In fact, this is how I am able to tell if
a critic of my research knows what he's talking about, Clearly, Krawetz has demonstrated
23 a total lack of knowledge about my research findings, about scanning COLB documents,
about analyzing COLB images, and has also shown a willingness to fabricate evidence to
24 fit his conclusions – which are also way off the mark.
25

26
Page 84 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
On Claim #1, Polarik has manipulated the data, forgot about the purpose of security
1 paper, ignored the image quality, and incorrectly determined that scanner artifacts are
2 signs of a forgery. (Lies #20, #21, #22, and #23)

3 Remember than Krawetz never read my final report, and even if he did, he does not
understand even the basics of analyzing scanner images and would have made a lot more
4 false statements and errors than he has already made. The "manipulation" charge is a
blatant lie, and he is dead wrong about "scanner artifacts," even if he had used a color
5 COLB, instead of a black & white magazine page. Again, anyone who claims that
6 "scanner artifacts" caused the pixel patterns I found is dead wrong and I challenge anyone
to prove otherwise.
7
Polarik claims that the border looks different from other examples of Hawaii's birth
8 certificate. In particular, he says that it looks blurry. We don't know the history of the
actual image (was this a scan converted to JPEG, resaved as another JPEG, etc.). What
9
we do know is that the image is at a very low quality, and JPEG loses fine details when
10 saved at a low quality.(Errors #10, #11, and #12)

11 If Krawetz had bothered to read my report, then he might have known that these
statements of his are erroneous, and that, in fact, after four months of experimenting with
12 700 images, I do know the history of the actual image because I was able to replicate it.
However, he demonstrates, yet again, his lack of
13
knowledge and understanding of scanning and image characteristics, both in general, and
14 in particular, as they relate to copying a paper COLB.

15 Polarik continues to say that the blurriness is because one border was applied on top of
another. (This is a fun argument because it is so stupid.) (Error #13 and Lie #24)
16

17 I never said that "one border was applied on top of another," and Krawetz compounds his
lie by making a derogatory comment about me, "This is a fun argument because it is so
18 stupid." The only thing that is "stupid" is making judgments on something he does not
understand and on a report that he has never read. I said that the green patterned
19 background was forged separately before the border was ever applied, and that the border
came from a second COLB and was pasted on top of the green patterned background. I
20 proved this by replicating the steps required to make the border separately and then to
21 add it on top of the "new" background.

22 The discussion that follows his "stupid" remark makes no sense whatsoever, and are in no
way even close to how I replicated the border. He describes three processes, "overwrite,"
23 "selection," and "merge," that have no connection to the well-known process of
"layering," or placing one image layer on top of another image layer. This process is
24 more commonly known as, "superimposing one image onto another," and when the word,
25 "Photoshopped" is mentioned, it is this process of superimposition that most often comes
to mind – even for people who have never worked with graphics.
26
Page 85 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Polarik incorrectly concludes that the border was added to the image. However, I and
1 other analysts have been unable to identify any sign of digital manipulation. (Lies #25
2 and #26)

3 Krawetz has done absolutely nothing to refute my findings, nor has anyone else.
This statement is bogus times two. As is typical throughout his screed, he makes
4 unsubstantiated statements and presents his opinions as if they were cold, hard facts,
without any concrete evidence to support them whatsoever. He is expecting people to
5 take him at his word, but since we now know that he cannot be trusted to present images
6 honestly, we should not even believe a word he says. The reason why he was "unable to
identify any sign of digital manipulation" is because he did Jack-squat to find any. We
7 now know that Krawetz does not know anything about how the COLB image was made,
how it was forged, how to recognize signs of manipulation done to it, how to replicate the
8 actual manipulations done to it, and to validate them through experimental testing. The
reference to "other analysts" is a red herring, because it implies that these other
9 "analysts" of his are as misinformed and confused as is Krawetz.
10
Hawaii (and every other state) uses a variety of forgery deterrents and regularly change
11 the deterrents. A very fine black-thatched border, like the light green thatched
background, should not scan correctly. (Error #14)
12
First of all, that is meaningless to even mention because it's not even relevant to the issue
13
at hand, namely comparing a true, original scan image to one that is an obviously altered
14 scan image. Additionally, the borders on 2008 COLBs scan exactly as shown on the
paper, or hardly something that could be called, a security border. Krawetz never
15 performed even a single scan of a real COLB as I did, nor did he even look at more than
one COLB scan, nor did he print off any scans, nor to try any of the experiments I did.
16 Krawetz never read my final report and that onus is on him.
17
Depending on the scanner, it may appear blurred or bi-tonal or contain a different
18 patterned than the one found on the paper. Depending on the scanner, it may appear
blurred or bi-tonal or contain a different patterned than the one found on the paper.
19 Thus, the dark, blurry background is more likely due to the security paper and not due to
manipulation. (Errors #15 & #16)
20

21 Krawetz's failure to scan a paper COLB or to analyze other COLB scans, or to conduct
any tests to see if the borders can be replicated by any other means, or even to provide
22 some concrete examples to support his conjectures, are what led him to state these
erroneous conclusions. I demonstrated, actually and factually, that Krawetz's conclusions
23 are not only patently false, but are merely thoughts off the top of his head.
24 Then again, without a copy of the official document and a list of the various and ever-
25 changing security methods employed by Hawaii, any visual analysis of "it looks wrong"
is nothing more than speculation. (which is exactly what Krawetz has done)
26
Page 86 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Krawetz just affirmed what I said about his lack of knowledge: that he has been stating
1 nothing more than mere speculations. He does not have a copy of the official COLB
2 document, nor copies of five of the seven possible border patterns used between 2001 and
2008. I do, and he doesn't, but that fact has not prevented him from making more
3 erroneous speculations.

4 Of course, borders could be added to a fake document, printed, and then scanned in and I
would not be able to detect it. But that isn't what Polarik is claiming happened. He says
5 that they were added to the digital image. That claim is not supported by the image
6 compression level, color scheme, and other artifacts. Polarik is both wrong, and not in a
position to validate even if he were right. (Lie #27, and Bald-Faced Lies #28 and #29)
7
Saying that someone could "add Hawaii's borders" to a fake document is totally
8 ridiculous that further highlights how clueless is Krawetz. I would love to hear how
Krawetz would find these "borders, “and he would add them to a "fake document." What
9
does he even mean by "fake document?" Now, I have gone through the steps of digitally
10 adding a separate border to a premade background, as part of the process for
reconstructing the Kos COLB image. Krawetz does not even know the process I used to
11 do it -- he would if he read my report -- and therefore, he cannot comment on it.

12 PERIOD. EXCLAMATION!
13
The answer that Krawetz gives above, that "Polarik is both wrong, and not in a position
14 to validate even if he were right," are bald-faced lies, uttered by a man who does not
possess the skills to detect the image alterations I found, to identify the steps that were
15 taken to create the image forgery, and to follow those same steps to create a clone of the
original forgery. His statement, that my "claim is not supported by the image
16 compression level, color scheme, and other artifacts, reveals both Krawetz's ignorance of
my research and his arrogance in denigrating something he has never done at all. Pretty
17
bold talk for someone who never read my report, never bothered to understand the issues,
18 and never conducted one iota of real COLB research. I, on the other hand, spent four
months producing multiple variations of real COLB scans, while Krawetz has done ZIP!
19
"The missing seal" and "The missing fold" Polarik claims that the online COLB is
20 missing the official seal and folds. (SOS #1 & #2)
21
The missing seal and fold are the Same Old Stuff from June, and it proves that Krawetz's
22 is rehashing old issues, and has never read my final report. These two missing
elements were noted by thousands of other people who voiced their concerns when the
23 Obama COLB was first published on June 12 of this year. Krawetz's comment sounds
like it was pulled from his "Bad Science, Part I" in verbatim. I can only conclude that
24 Krawetz has got his head in his past here. The missing lower fold is still an issue,
25 however, and one I discussed at length in my final report.

26
Page 87 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
I don't know what to say here except "Polarik is wrong." He seems to not mind
1 hyperfocusing on pixels in the text, but ignores the pixels that disprove his conclusion.
2 This isn't just "selection bias", this is intentional ignorance. (Lies #30 and #31)

3 I don't know what to say here, either, when someone points at me and says, "You're
wrong," without knowing anything about what I did. However, I do know what to say
4 when someone calls me "ignorant," and it is not "Happy Holidays." The charge that I am
ignoring any pixels is patently false, as well as saying that there are pixels that disprove
5 my conclusion. Krawetz has never even looked at a COLB scan at the pixel level. He
6 provides a section of an image that he says came from the "large online document,"
which I assume to be the 2550 x 3300, 300DPI Factcheck copy.
7
The edge detection that Krawetz misapplied here is probably the Sobel technique, and he
8 did a lousy job, too. The seal is hardly visible at all in his image. I originally said on June
13 that a real COLB image was used as the template, and therefore, I would expect it to
9 have a Seal. I would also expect it to have two folds. Before this technique was presented
10 as a way to highlight the Seal, I was unable to see enough of the Seal to know what it
was, and neither could anyone else at the time. The image that Krawetz supplied is junk.
11
Polarik says that you should be able to see the embossed pattern on the scanned image
12 without image enhancement. The quality of the seal's appearance depends on the scanner
and image quality. Remember: the seal is not a change in color; it is a change in texture
13
that the scanner may not capture well. In this case, I see it above, but I use enhancement
14 to make it easier to see. (Error #17)

15 Every scan that I made using a $99 scanner without any image enhancements
produced both folds, the Seal, and the texture of the paper, as well as the scans made
16 by others, so Krawetz's claims do not reflect reality.
17
Speaking of reality, since the Seal causes ridges in the paper to form, these, in turn,
18 causes shadows to occur around them, and that's why a cheap scanner set on AUTO will
pick them up, time after time,
19
Polarik refuses to acknowledge the seal because admitting it exists would damage his
20 claim. (Lie #32)
21
I spent an entire chapter on the Seal in my final report. In fact, it was the Seal that
22 conclusively proved the Obama COLB image and photographs to be fake. As I noted,
Krawetz is stuck in time, back on June 13, before I (and may others) learned how to use
23 the Sobel edge detection process found on the GIMP program.
24
Polarik also claims that the second fold is missing. In this regard, I must admit that I do
25 not see the second fold. However, I have scanned many pieces of folded paper and not
seen folds (scanners pick up color, not texture) (Lie #33 or Error #18)
26
Page 88 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
I have proven, conclusively, that scanners do, indeed, clearly copy the fold. If Krawetz is
1 not picking it up in his scans. then he is not performing them correctly. Given that he
2 made a color scan of a B&W original, the latter might also be the case.

3 What I do see in the COLB is evidence suggesting a fold. Follow the right edge of the
right border down the page. It has a slight lean inward, meaning it is crooked. At about a
4 third of the way from the bottom, the border changes direction, bending outward. It
changes direction where the second fold should be located. And since the green thatched
5 pattern does not show any breaks or separations, it is very unlikely that this is a paste or
6 splice. (Lie #34)

7 This is pure bunk. Any kinks in the border prove that it came from another COLB, and do
not confirm the presence of a second fold line. There is NO second fold line, except in
8 Krawetz's imagination.
9
Polarik claims the border and seal do not match the form from 2007 or 2008. He forgot
10 to mention that the bottom corner says "11/01" meaning it is the 2001 form, and not
either 2007 or 2008. (Major error #19)
11
As I said repeatedly, Krawetz has no knowledge of what is a COLB, and he never read
12 any of my blog posts. In fact, Krawetz never read any other blog posts to know that the
"11/01" identifier is the date that the current COLB form was introduced, and has nothing
13
to do with the date the COLB was printed, the date stamp, the embossed Seal, and the
14 border.

15 There is a difference between "real" and "authentic". Digital image analysis can tell if an
image has been manipulated, but not if the original source was authentic. In fact, any
16 analysis based strictly on the online image cannot be used to validate the authenticity of
17 the border. (Errors #20 & #21)

18 I have repeatedly said that the COLB image was made from a real COLB, but not from
Obama's and is not an authentic representation of Obama's birth record. However,
19 nobody would ever create a forged document image if an authentic copy of the original is
easily obtained. Krawetz second statement is patently false. If the border shown on a
20 2008 COLB image is the same as the one used on the 2007 COLB, then the border shown
21 in the 2008 COLB image is not an authentic 2008 border. It's simple logic.

22 The only one who can say whether the border and document are authentic is the state of
Hawaii (Error #22)
23
This statement is a non sequitur. I have two 2008 COLBs and the borders, layout, and
24
Seal are identical. When someone personally picks up a copy of his or her COLB from
25 Vital Records, and has it stamped by Vital Records, it is certified as authentic. This
statement is thrown in here as a bogus Catch-22 that because no one has ever seen
26
Page 89 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Obama's real COLB -- which we know does not exist given all of the evidence -- then we
1 cannot assess its "authenticity."
2
That is hokum.
3
And Hawaii has been saying that the accusation of a false COLB is "pretty ridiculous."
4 (Lie #35)
5 No such accusation has ever been made. What we are postulating is that a "manufactured
6 COLB" was posted on the internet to fool people into believing that they had just seen
Obama's real COLB, when in fact, nobody has seen it,. and that the document shown in
7 the image does not exist in reality.

8 So none of Polarik's claims hold up to inspection. What about Polarik's credentials?...So


let's see..."Dr. Ron Polarik". Many years ago I saw a comedy troupe called Duck's
9
Breath Mystery Theater. They had a skit called "Ask Dr. Science". In the show, Dr.
10 Science legally changed his first name to "Doctor" in order to give his theories more
credibility. ("There is a thin line between ignorance and arrogance," he says, "and only I
11 have managed to erase that line.") (Slander #1 through about #25)
12 The only one who can say whether the border and document are authentic is the state of
Hawaii. And Hawaii has been saying that the accusation of a false COLB is "pretty
13
ridiculous." (Lie #36)
14
As far back as 15-Aug-2008, they have said that the COLB image is "a valid Hawaii state
15 birth certificate".(Lie #37)
16 Since Polarik has never claimed to be an expert in Hawaiian birth certificates, I'm going
17 to have to go with the State's opinion here and conclude that Polarik is wrong.(Lie #37)

18 I am an expert in Hawaiian Certifications of Live Birth, and that's the entire point of my
final report -- which Krawetz never read. Krawetz is at the opposite end of the
19 spectrum, someone who knows Jack-squat about the Hawaiian Certification of Live
Birth.
20

21 What is so typical of a Leftist coward who runs from confrontation is to feign indignation
when I angrily responded to his trash talk. He cherry-picked my comments and then
22 lectures me as to what a "PhD should do."

23 I did not copy the rest of his condescending and libelous remarks, but the proof is in the
pudding: Krawetz has conclusively proven that credentials do not create credibility, for
24
whatever credentials Krawetz holds, they were of no use to him in reviewing my final
25 report -- which he never did. He made multiple lies and errors throughout his critique that
actually gave his credentials a big, black eye. I ask that I be judged on my work, but
26
Page 90 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
when someone like Krawetz comes along who does not know what he is saying and has
1 never read my reports, then that individual has no right to make any comments about me
2 or my research.

3 The bottom line is that Krawetz has tried every excuse possible, and every trick in the
book to invalidate my research and to discredit me, and he has fallen flat on his face. He
4 did not so much as make a dent in my research. By failing to counter my claims, Krawetz
reinforced them. The forgery evidence is irrefutable, and that is not going to change by
5 virtue of any claims made by charlatans like Krawetz or anyone else. I am sure that his
6 remarks will continue to be posted on many pro-Obama websites, whose owners would
like nothing better than for my research to be invalidated. Yet, the only person who
7 manipulated evidence and who masqueraded as an expert qualified to judge my research,
is Neal Krawetz, and he is now duly notified that his slanderous actions will not be
8 tolerated.
9 Krawetz says that he "stands behind his claims about me," except for the fact that I've
10 challenged him to prove that the pixel anomalies I found are scanner artifacts, and he
failed to accept my challenge. In what will be a shock to many of Krawetz's recent
11 supporters, I'm not the first person on whom he's done a hack job, and then turned tail and
hide when challenged. Here is an incident that happened in the Spring of last year when a
12 company named GOBBLES called out Krawetz for making false associations:
13
GOBBLES is calling out Dr. Neal Krawetz.

Dear fans,
16

17 Below is an email we sent to Dr. Neal Krawetz, author of "who_is_n3td3v.pdf", a


document that uses flawed logic to "prove" that GOBBLES Security members are behind
18 the alias n3td3v, which obviously is not true. We have tried numerous times to establish
contact with the good doctor, and to have him publish an apology and retract his libelous
19 allegations. He is however adamant in his position that he is correct, and refuses to
entertain any evidence presented that proves his conclusions contrary.
20

21 Since he is no longer answering our emails, and authoring articles on the subject of
internet character defamation for security focus, we have no choice but to call him on his
22 bullshit publicly.

23 If you run a security conference and would like to provide the venue for the challenge
described below, please contact us immediately. For the record, we have never had
24 anything to do with the online identity n3td3v, and to our collective knowledge have had
25 no contact in any way with the individual(s) behind the alias. Also for the record, Neal

Krawetz is an academic fraud who cannot cite the source of the axioms he constantly
1 refers to, since the basis of all his research is clearly horseshit.
2
In God We Trust,
3
GOBBLES Security
4
The similarities between what Krawetz did to me and to GOBBLES serve to reinforce my
5 assessments of him. I can relate to the issues that GOBBLES Security raised about
6 Krawetz. He has deleted all of my messages to him. He has refused to retract his libelous
allegations against me, and refused to entertain any evidence that disproves his
7 conclusions about my research. Likewise, since Krawetz has also locked me out of his
blog, I, too, have to call him out on his lies and false accusations in a public venue.
8
If Krawetz really wants to stand behind his trashing of me and my research, then let him
9
validate his claims, openly and honestly. Let him try and recreate the white and gray-
10 shaded pixel patterns between the letters on Obama's bogus COLB by scanning alone.
Likewise, let him prove that what I observed as signs of forging are only JPG artifacts.
11 Let him try and recreate the COLB border by scanning alone. Let him prove that the
border
12 and the text on the Obama COLB image were produced together and at the same time.
13
I am not the one who has been bragging about his credentials, or putting someone else
14 down for theirs. Only Krawetz has done that. I am not the one trying to grab some glory
by being the first person to refute someone else's research. What I am is simply this: the
15 only person on the planet to have ever deciphered how the bogus Obama image was
made, and to use that information
16 to replicate it, including the telltale pixel patterns, the separate border, the missing second
Seal, and so on, by scanning a real, paper COLB document and then graphically altering
17
it as the forger might have done.
18
What will be instructive are some of the comments made about my research from an
19 objective reviewer, named Chuck, who has seen both my report and Krawetz's screed.
20 Here’s a brief...list I made, while going through the “final” report by Dr. Polarik.
21 Good means he found something interesting, which I also found.

22 Good: He points out a resample goof by KOS. I believe he’s noting they went and
created their cropped image, and ended up with the same number of pixels. I think that’s
23 a common mistake - leaving “resample” on. Probably nothing nefarious here.
24
Good: Factcheck.org photo session of the piece of paper “taken in Aug”, had EXIF date
25 of March 12th. Just odd.

26
Page 92 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Good: “missing green” - what’s the rest look like? could be gone because of level adjust?
1 All the other text has this same “effect”.
2
Good: ‘header text absolutely looks pasted. ‘artifacts abound’. When I first saw an
3 isolated, cropped image of the “suspect” text, it did look pasted. See my previous - it
doesn’t.
4
Good: - where are the folds? The scan doesn’t show the folds like one would expect.
5 When enhanced, only the top fold can be seen. The photo session shows a tri-folded
6 document.

7 Good: it does NOT look like a scan of a physical document. No 3D features such as the
edge of the paper or folds. I agree - all other scans of COLBs he has show folds. All
8 scans I’ve ever done myself show folds, unless some exceptional adjustments are made -
even then, there are still remnants of all folds.
9

10 Really Good: Seal too small. It measures 1.5? A 2001 seal is 1.675, and Polarik claims
2008 seal is same (or at least, larger than 2007). This one is a big oddity. I measured
11 BO’s COLB seal at 1.5?. I found a scan of a 2001 HI COLB - its seal
measured 1.675?. Polarik himself says the 2008 is larger than BO’s 2007. Very odd one
12 here.
13
• Outwardly, this [KOS image] appears to be WAY over processed - no detail. The
14 border detail is terrible. I would say, the text artifacts aren’t from pasting, but
rather due to high compression and/or multiple compression cycles. Levels are
15 blown out.|
16 • This does NOT look like a scan of a real document. It is extremely hard to remove
folds so completely. If enhanced, only the top fold is visible.
17
• Looking at the full RGB histogram - there are NO mid-tones. Odd for a scan.
18
Again, doesn’t look like
19 a real scan, but more like a digitally rendered image (such as an original from a
page layout application).
20
• No embossing in seal - it would have shown in scan easily. The photographed
21 document seems to show the embossing, but the scan doesn’t. They look like two
different documents.
22
• I measure the KOS seal as 1.5? - is this 2007 or 2008? I found a HI COLB from
23
2001 and measured its seal at 1.675?. Polarik claims 2008 seal is bigger than the
24 seal in BO’s 2007 COLB. This seems to be a problem.

25 • No folds - again, doesn’t look like a scanned, physical document.


26
Page 93 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Dr. Krawetz doesn’t have a lot of real strong arguments or analysis reputing him [that I
1 could find], despite his low opinion [of Dr. Polarik]. The “Xenon” work doesn’t mean
2 much, given what looks like an abundance of compression
artifacts.
3
A real scan would have midtones, but the lack thereof might be from over correction and
4 overprocessing.
5 A real scan would have a “3D” appearance - folds, edges to paper. There is definitely
6 something different between what’s in the photographs and the scan.

7 However, except for the seal, the scanning issues (missing folds and embossing) could be
either ineptness or something deliberate to hide something - we can only guess what, if
8 anything. The seal size discrepancy is the biggest problem I see.

11 Epilogue

12

13
I hope that this commentary will be instructive for those who are not familiar with my
14 research and/or who have been led astray by Neal Krawetz's "Bad Science" boondoggle.
15 As I said above: before making any hasty judgments about me or my research, you have
to read the entire final report first, and to read it with comprehension. Then, look around
16 at what my critics have to offer in rebuttal. Whether you agree or disagree with the
central premise of the research, that America still has not seen Obama's original paper,
17 long-form birth certificate, your decision will not be made on the basis of someone's
stated credentials, but on the validity and significance of the research.

6 Re: Senate Resolution 511 on April 10th of 2008

7 From: Carl Swensson

8 165 Burke St Suite 101

9 Stockbridge, GA 30281

10 Ph: 678-438-6138
To whom it may concern,
11

12 On April 10th, 2008 Senate resolution 511 was passed acknowledging Sen. John
McCain’s eligibility to be POTUS based on the fact that his parents (plural) were both
13 U.S. Citizens.

14 Your understanding of the requirement for “Natural Born” status as it concerned Mr.
McCain was mostly correct. The only thing you failed to mention was the fact that he
15 was born in Colon, Panama which was NOT a U.S. Military base. Please correct me if I
16 am in error but the Constitution CLEARLY states that you must be Natural Born in order
to be President. Our founding fathers were adamant on this subject and much was written
17 about it. The common thread was really quite simple, You must be born of citizens of the
country and be born on that countries soil.
18
Herein lies the problem. There is undeniable proof that Mr. Obama’s father was NEVER
19
a U.S. citizen and as the Senate resolution clearly states, that IS a requirement yet you
20 continue to ignore this fact and have thrown us into a Constitutional crisis.

21 We demand this error be corrected now. Not weeks, months or years from now as this is
a crime of the highest nature and your refusal to deal with it only confirms your
22 complicity which will be addressed when this issue is resolved.
23
Many people have focused on the Birth Certificate and yes, it is important but not the
24 main issue as this letter points out. We will not be led astray with this Birthing nonsense
and neither should you. Clearly, he is unqualified as there has never been an amendment
25 to change our Constitution and you DID take an Oath to uphold that sacred document.
26
Page 107 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Continued refusal to uphold your Oath puts you in breach of contract with American
1 citizens, your employers.
2 Please rectify this error in judgment at the earliest possible convenience as we are
watching your actions with a keen eye towards complicity and Misprision of Felony.
3 You should also be aware that a new document has been circulating on the Internet which
shows Barack Hussein Obama as being born in Mombasa, Kenya and although we have
4 no idea of its authenticity, it should show you that this issue will never go away and only
by your actions can this be resolved. Attached is a copy of that document and it is our
5 understanding that many more variations of this can be expected to flood the internet.
6 Again, you, and only you, can put a stop to this by recognizing and acting in good faith
on the letter of the law as written in the Constitution.
7
Attached, you will find Criminal Complaints accusing Barack Husein Obama of Fraud
8 and Treason. Treason charges can only be submitted upon the witness of two to the
crime. We give you six Military men who have courageously stepped forward and
9 demand action be taken to remove this Usurper.
10
In summary,
11 Definition of “Natural Born Citizen” was clearly defined by Emmerich de Vattel in 1791
and used in the formation of Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the Constitution and it states:
12 The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject
to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are
13 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
14 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
15 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.
16 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
17 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.
18 It’s my opinion that the term “natural born citizen” was understood by all politically-savvy thinkers
in the 18th and 19th centuries so much so that even President Chester Arthur hid the fact
19 that he wasn’t a natural born citizen in order to become president.
This means neither Barack Obama nor John McCain could be defined as natural born citizens,
20 proving that those who would claim to rule and reign over us give no thought to “law” if it impedes
their ambitions but apply that same “law” to us if it would increase their titles, status and wealth.
21 April 10th, 2008, The U.S. Senate confirms the Citizenship issue in its resolution 511
Aug. 3rd, 2009, America waits for your action to resolve this issue/crime.
22

23 Sincerely,
24 Carl A. Swensson, Jr.

13 Do you remember Watergate? href="http://media.fastclick.net/w/click.here?sid=18589&m=3&amp;c=915"


Thirty-five years ago this
14 target="_blank"></a>
Sunday, U.S. President
Richard M. Nixon submitted
15 his letter of resignation for his role in the scandal. There was the crime – the break-in,
16 and then there was the cover-up by the Nixon administration. There were threats, media
manipulation and disinformation. It was the cover-up more than the crime itself in the
17 aftermath of the Watergate break-in that led to the downfall of the Nixon administration.
It was a politically critical time for our country, but we survived because of the strength
18 of the U.S. constitution.
19
Now, we potentially face a new constitutional crisis stemming from the refusal of Barack
20 Hussein Obama to produce a one-page document that would confirm his eligibility to
hold the highest office in the land. Eligibility to hold office is not a “fringe” matter, but a
21 core constitutional issue that lies at the very heart of a growing controversy.
22 Although we do not have the birth certificate or proof of ineligibility, the Northeast
Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press have documentation of a cover-up
23
relating to the issue of Obama’s eligibility to hold office. The proof we possess not
24 only exposes a well orchestrated cover-up, but also provides critical insight into why the
topic of Obama’s eligibility has failed to gain traction in the corporate media.
25

26
Page 111 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
The Northeast Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press are in possession of
1 extremely sensitive investigative documents, including a stunning written admission
2 by a nationally known talk show host stating that he was threatened with his career
– or worse - should he talk about the issue of Barack Hussein Obama’s birth records
3 to a national audience. This document was obtained on December 10, 2008, and
provides explicit detail of a “gag order” imposed on this host before and immediately
4 following the national election last November.
5 After receiving and authenticating the document, US based veteran private investigator
6 Douglas J. Hagmann opened a full scale investigation into the media blackout, with
specific emphasis on tracing the blackout origins to those issuing them. This investigation
7 was conducted in conjunction with Judi McLeod, founding editor of Canada Free Press
and Brian Thompson, CFP Information Technology chief following a meeting near
8 Toronto, Ontario last December. At that meeting, it was decided to keep the existence of
the document secret until additional evidence could be obtained.
9

10 Today, after an extensive eight month investigation, the Northeast Intelligence Network
and Canada Free Press are breaking their silence and revealing explosive information
11 about a widespread cover-up that began at the earliest stages of the Obama presidential
campaign. The cover-up traces back to some of the most powerful and influential people
12 in the U.S. and continues today.
13
Summary of the Evidence
14

15
As noted above, we are in possession of a written account by a well known national talk
16 show host who details how he was prohibited to discuss the controversy of Barack
Hussein Obama’s eligibility as president of the United States. This signed document cites
17 exact dates and times when he was forbidden to discuss any aspect of the birth certificate
controversy, and includes direct references to the individuals responsible for such
18
prohibitions. Further, his statement identifies the individuals who originated the orders
19 and their positions, and confirms that failure to adhere to the order would likely end his
career in that industry. He also confirms that other, less specific but more menacing
20 threats were implied during conversations with those making the subject off limits.

21 Although we possess the original document containing the name and contact information
of the talk show host, we have decided not to publish his name or network affiliation at
22
this time. Based on the correspondence from this individual and respecting the nature of
23 the threats to him personally and professionally, it is our decision to allow him to enjoy
anonymity until such time as he decides to reveal the facts himself at a time of his
24 choosing.
25 From multiple interviews conducted within the last eight months, we have obtained
information from other sources, independent of the above, who have also been instructed
26
Page 112 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
to avoid any discussion of the birth certificate issue at all costs, to wit:
1

2 The account of an administrative assistant employed in New York City by a cable


network news station who provided significant, detailed information of a 2008 meeting
3 between the top network executive and four-(4) well-known news anchors. This source
confirmed that she drafted the memo to the various hosts to notify them of the date, time
4 and location of this high-level meeting at the request of the network’s top executive.
5 Present at this meeting, she verified that the network official issued “warnings” to the
6 personalities “to avoid any on-air discussion of the birth place, eligibility, and news
accounts of litigation compelling [Barack Hussein] Obama to produce a legitimate copy
7 of his birth certificate.” She stated that the network executive had her arrange the
conference immediately following a meeting “between [the network executive] and an
8 attorney closely associated with candidate Obama who was acting on his behalf.”
9 The statement of a corporate secretary for a major news network confirming the existence
10 of a one-page inter-office memo, bearing the markings “confidential” and “not for
dissemination,” addressed and distributed to news anchors and on-air talent” that
11 specifically instructed the recipients to avoid any discussion pertaining to the Obama
birth certificate controversy. The memo was written and distributed in October 2008, and
12 specifically instructed on-air talent to “advise guests, as necessary, to refrain from citing
any news story, legal proceedings, Internet ‘blogs’ or other sources that pertain to the
13
ongoing eligibility controversy of future President Barack Obama.”
14
As outlined above, our Investigation has uncovered both direct and indirect evidence of
15 threats being made against some of the nation’s top radio and television personalities,
which would explain some giving this topic mere lip service. As one source interviewed
16 during the course of this investigation stated, “I’ve got a career and family to think
about.”
17
18 Although no one should be surprised over the manipulation of the news, the nature of this
manipulation, and the extent of the threats against journalists, should shock even the most
19 well grounded.
20 Any reasonable person must question the motivation of the media moguls. The
individuals who have – and continue to threaten talk show hosts, news anchors, and
21
others are the top people. We are not talking about mid or upper level management – this
22 is from the very top in all cases. If there is nothing to the birth certificate issue and the
question of eligibility, why the secrecy?

president.
16
As King of the World, does Obama really need born-in-USA status? On the occasion of
17 their president’s 48th birthday yesterday, Americans still don’t know for certain from
where he came, only where he is leading them.
18

19 There was a mammoth picture of the Birthday Boy on display outside the White House,
but no pictures of him pursing his lips to blow out the candles on a birthday cake, which
20 may have served as a reminder that this is a president already well on his way to blowing
out the lights of the Free World.
21
Thus far the only `proof’ of Obama’s murky past comes from the romantic version of his
22
life as spun in his book, Dreams of My Father.
23
Some people’s dreams are other folk’s nightmares.
24
Global citizens and Kings of the World find home at the United Nations, which operates
25 as a law unto itself.

When Obama emerges to his rightful throne as King of the World, will his missing birth
1 certificate and school records be swallowed up by UN diplomatic immunity?
2
The long-awaited debut of Obama at the UN is happening right on schedule. Obama will
3 chair “a special meeting of the U.N, Security Council on nuclear non-proliferation and
disarmament”. According to U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, that meeting will take place
4 on Sept. 24 during the annual summit of the U.N. General Assembly.
5 There is no doubt that the sovereignty of the US, notwithstanding, the United Nations is a
6 law unto itself.

7 A pig sty of corruption, and a body that blows its time on incessant talk while people die
in genocides, the UN is also the main source of this summer’s “you’re all going to die”
8 pandemic predictions that have yet to lead to the public panic needed to invoke martial
law.
9

10 Most fittingly to some, UN headquarters originated on the grounds of an abattoir where


screams of animals being led to slaughter could be heard, as a “gift” from Rockefeller
11 family money.
12 Diplomatic Immunity, which could only have originated at the UN, has created virtual
untouchables. According to Reader’s Digest, “The UN rarely gets much done, but
13
somehow its officials are still too busy to park legally. Between 1997 and the end of
14 2002, foreign diplomats racked up more than 150,000 unpaid parking tickets--totaling a
staggering $17 million. But thanks to diplomatic immunity, the city has no power to
15 collect.
16 Is it a foregone conclusion that the UN granted Obama the unassailable right to be a law
17 unto himself, with or without the personal documents proving who he really is?

18 BHO began identifying himself as a “global citizen” even before election. Perhaps rather
than coming off as grandiose, he was really telling the truth.
19
UN-bestowed diplomatic immunity has protected other high rollers in the now all but
20 forgotten Oil for Food Scandal.
21
Some of those high rollers are now part of the Obama team of czars. Paul Volcker,
22 charged by personal friend, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to investigate the
scandal, only added to the level of frustration.
23
UN Poster Boy numero uno, Canadian Maurice Strong who accepted a $1 million cheque

stated intention of which was to bring America’s auto industry to its knees with the likes
1 of Obama bagman George Soros.
2
Soros has close ties to former UN Deputy Secretary General Baron Mark Malloch-
3 Brown.

4 Is Obama thumbing his nose at Americans who want to see his birth certificate because
he knows his back is covered by UN diplomatic immunity?
5

6 Is there a Grand Plan keeping the the most anti-American president ever elected in the
White House?

spawned him, is really a power until himself.

The months of arguments over President Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office –
25 based on the U.S. Constitution's requirement that the chief executive be a "natural born"
citizen – have been fueled both by the president's decision to withhold his original long-
26
Page 118 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
form birth certificate, thereby leaving some questions unanswered, and by arguments
1 over just exactly what is a "natural born" citizen.
2
Some argue that since Obama's father was a citizen of Kenya and thus a British subject in
3 1961, his son's birth in Hawaii that year would have granted Obama dual British-U.S.
citizenship. Obama's campaign website admitted as much prior to the election.
4

5
Attorney Mario Apuzzo, one of several lawyers filing lawsuits over Obama's eligibility
to serve as president, believes the double claim on Obama's citizenship disqualifies him
6 from fulfilling the requirement of Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution, which states
no person except a "natural born" citizen shall be eligible to the office of president.
7
"'Natural born citizen' status requires not only birth on U.S. soil but also birth to parents
8 who are both U.S. citizens," Apuzzo asserts on his website. "It is only by combining at
9 birth in the child both means to inherit these two sources of citizenship that the child by
nature and therefore also by law is born with only one allegiance and loyalty."
10
According to Apuzzo, regardless of where Obama was born, regardless of whether he
11 ever releases his long-form birth certificate, his father's citizenship status disqualifies him
from being president.
12

13 Join the petition campaign to demand President Obama resolve the questions over his
birthplace by revealing his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate!
14
Apuzzo's definition of "natural born," however, has its critics, even among those
15 challenging Obama's eligibility on other grounds.
16
"There's nothing that I'm aware of that says you have to have two American parents," said
17 the executive director of the United States Justice Foundation, Gary Kreep, whose lawsuit
alleges Obama was born in Africa and thus is constitutionally ineligible. "My
18 understanding of it is if you're born in the United States, you're a natural born citizen,
period."
19

20 Indeed, a consensus on the correct definition of "natural born citizen" has eluded lawyers
and scholars for more than 200 years. The Constitution's failure to offer any definition of
21 the phrase whatsoever, the absence of definitive Supreme Court rulings and a wide array
of opinions through the centuries have only further confused the question of what
22 "natural born" actually means.
23
In trying to understand what the Founding Fathers meant by the phrase, some have
24 turned to prominent legal tomes of the day.

25 According to the Constitution Society, "The Law of Nations," a 1758 work by Swiss
legal philosopher Emmerich de Vattel, "was read by many of the Founders of the United
26
Page 119 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
States of America and informed their understanding of the principles of law which
1 became established in the Constitution of 1787."
2
Vattel writes in Book 1, Chapter 19, of his book, "The natives, or natural-born citizens,
3 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
4 follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. … 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
5 born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country."
6
Apuzzo also points to Vattel's work as the framework for the Founders' intent and the
7 justification for requiring a president not only be born on American soil, but also to
American parents.
8
The first Congress, however, began clouding the issue only two years after the
9
Constitution was ratified.
10
In the Naturalization Act of 1790, Congress passed a law that disregarded the idea of
11 being born on U.S. soil, and referred only to parentage:
12 "The children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the
limits of the United States," the Act states, "shall be considered as natural born citizens:
13
Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have
14 never been resident in the United States."

Parker Shannon of the Obama File highlighted excerpts from the 1st U.S. Congress in his effort to demonstrate a natural born
citizen must be the child of two U.S. citizens.
26
Page 120 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Five years later, however, Congress repealed the Act and never again drafted a legally
1 binding definition of "natural born citizen."
2
Herb Titus, a one-time vice presidential candidate considered an expert on the U.S.
3 Constitution, says it was probably the responsibility of the electors from the 50 states or
members of Congress to make the determination whether President Obama is a "natural
4 born" U.S. citizen. Congress does have the option of challenging the results of the
election, but it was not used in the 2008 contest.
5

6 Titus also said, however, the likely most important factor in the argument should be the
president's loyalties.
7
"The reason for the concept of natural born citizens is so a country can't just throw you
8 out willy-nilly," Titus told WND. "Your citizenship is in God's sovereign decision-
making. You were born of certain parents.
9

10 "If you follow that kind of reasoning, Obama cannot be a natural-born citizen, even if he's
born in Hawaii," because of his parents, he said. "One was Kenyan and one American."
11
Furthermore, if the Founders wrote "natural born citizen" to ensure a candidate's loyalty,
12 Titus suggested, Obama's dual citizenship would create a dilemma:
13
Citing Obama's major writing work, "Dreams From my Father," Titus asked, "Did he
14 write a book about his [American] mother?"

15 John Eidsmoe, another recognized authority on the U.S. Constitution, said the
circumstances are a little complicated, but not unclear.
16

17 If a baby was born to U.S. citizens in the U.S., there would be no question of being a
"natural born" citizen, he said. For a baby born outside the U.S. to U.S. citizens, likewise.
18 But being born in the U.S. to non-citizens, Eidsmore said, doesn't count.
19 "If he was born outside the U.S. to one citizen and one non-citizen, particularly the father,
20 it is very doubtful that he qualifies for 'natural born' citizenship," said Eidsmoe, who
works with former Judge Roy Moore's Foundation for Moral Law.
21
Eidsmoe said in many circumstances the citizenship follows the father.
22
"My conclusion if Obama was, in fact, born in Kenya, he is in all probability not a
23 'natural born' citizen," he said.
24
A commentary on the Federalist Blog wrote that an early definition of "natural born"
25 citizen was never produced because one of the framers of the Constitution, James Wilson,

26
Page 121 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
wrote that a citizen of a state was a citizen of the union, "thus, no act of Congress was
1 required …"
2
That would mean only states can determine "natural born" status.
3
But the same commentary pointed out that if being born on U.S. soil alone was enough,
4 there would have been no need to reference "natural born." Instead, the "native born"
reference would have been sufficient.
5

6 The commentary argued for citizenship inherited from a father.

7 "Therefore, we can say with confidence that a natural-born citizen of the United States
means those persons born whose father the United States already has an established
8 jurisdiction over, i.e., born to fathers who are themselves citizens of the United States," it
said.
9

10 James Taranto, writing at the Wall Street Journal, said Obama's place of birth is
important, unlike what some Obama supporters have proclaimed – but it isn't important
11 because of his American mother.
12 Citing the U.S. State Department, he writes: "A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen
parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA
13
provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required
14 by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth (For birth on or after November 14,
1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required.
15 For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five
after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S.
16 citizenship to the child)."
17
"Obama was born before 1986 to married parents, and his father was an alien," Taranto
18 wrote. "Thus if it were an overseas birth, his mother would have to have lived in the U.S.
for 5 years after age 14 in order for her child to be a natural-born American. Mrs. Obama
19 was only 18 when Barack was born, so she had not even lived 5 years after age 14."
20 But, he said, Obama already has documented his birth, with the release of the online
21 "Certification of Live Birth."

22 The U.S. Supreme Court, for its part, has admitted the Constitution does not define what
is meant by "natural born citizen" and hasn't offered a ruling to solve the dispute.
23
"The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural born citizens. Resort must
24
be had elsewhere to ascertain that," wrote the Court in the 1874 Minor v. Happersett case.
25 "At common law, with the nomenclature of which the Framers of the Constitution were
familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its
26
Page 122 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural
1 born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and
2 include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the
citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the
3 first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts."

4 Through history, different scholars and officials have offered up their opinions, which
have varied widely.
5

6 In 1862, Attorney General Edward Bates wrote a 27-page opinion paper to answer
whether or not "colored men" can be citizens of the United States, and in the process
7 threw out the issue of parentage altogether in the "natural born" debate, requiring only
birth on American soil.
8
"Our Constitution, in speaking of natural born citizens," Bates writes, "recognizes and
9
reaffirms the universal principle, common to all nations, and as old as political society,
10 that the people born in a country do constitute the nation, and, as individuals, are natural
members of the body politic."
11
Even recently, the issue reared its head again when Congress questioned whether John
12 McCain, who was born to two American parents, but in the Panama Canal Zone,
qualified as a natural born citizen.
13

14 Ted Olson, the former solicitor general under Bush, told NBC News, "Although I am
continuing to research the matter, there is little doubt in my mind that Senator McCain
15 fully meets the Constitution's qualifications to be President of the United States. In my
view, the plain meaning of 'natural born citizen' includes persons who become citizens of
16 this nation 'naturally,' that is by virtue of their birth to parents who are citizens."
17
But Jill Pryor, who 20 years previously wrote in the Yale Law Journal about the "Natural
18 Born Enigma," told NBC, "Whether a person born abroad of American parents ...
qualifies as natural born has never been resolved. … Some have taken the view that
19 'natural born' means native born, that is, born in the United States, and there is no
authority expressly to the contrary."
20

21 Sarah H. Duggin, an associate law professor at Catholic University, also warned the
question is "not so simple." She told the Washington Post the matter can be fully resolved
22 only by a constitutional amendment or a Supreme Court decision.

23 "The Constitution is ambiguous," Duggin told the Post. "The McCain side has some
really good arguments, but ultimately there has never been any real resolution of this
24
issue."
25

26
Page 123 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
On April 30, 2008, the U.S. Senate sought to answer the question by passing S. Res. 511,
1 which states, "Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an
2 American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it
resolved, that John Sidney McCain, III, is a 'natural born citizen' under Article II, Section
3 1, of the Constitution of the United States."

4 S. Res. 511 took the position two American parents qualify a child as natural born
regardless of the soil of birth, but the resolution is neither a legally binding document nor
5 an amendment to the Constitution. Notably, the Senate did not address Barack Obama's
6 natural born citizen status.

7 Peter J. Spiro, professor of law at Temple University and author of "Beyond Citizenship:
American Identity After Globalization," argues in an opinion piece in the Philadelphia
8 Inquirer that the whole controversy ought to just be thrown out to allow any American
citizen – whether natural born or native born or even naturalized – to be president.
9

10 "The natural-born provision is an artifact of a time when one's birthplace was fraught
with consequences," Spiro writes. "In the feudal conception of natural law, one was born
11 into the protection of a territory's sovereign, for which one was thought to owe an
indissoluble duty of allegiance. The Framers of the Constitution worked in an era when
12 such bonds were taken seriously. It made sense, then, to protect against a sleeper at the
13 top.

14 "Today, birthplace is hardly so meaningful," Spiro writes.

15 But to many Americans, including Apuzzo, Kreep, and the several attorneys representing
dozens of clients demanding the American president meet the constitutional requirements
16 to serve, birthplace – and, for some, birth parentage – is extremely important.
17
"The Founding Fathers emphasized that, for the sake of the survival of the constitutional
18 republic, the office of president and commander in chief of the military be free of foreign
influence and intrigue," Apuzzo writes. "It is the 'natural born citizen' clause that gives
19 the American people the best fighting chance to keep it that way for generations to come.
20
"American people do not have the constitutional right to have any certain person be
21 president," he continues. "But … they do have a constitutional right to protect their
liberty by knowing and assuring that their president is constitutionally eligible and
22 qualified."

9 What is a Citizen?
10
Before defining what a natural born citizen is and how one acquires this status, it is
11 important to understand what a generic citizen is and why a country bestows citizenship
upon the members of a society. A citizen is a member of a particular nation who has been
12 given certain rights, privileges, and immunities that are not given to people of other
nations. Such rights include voting in elections, receiving a passport, and in some
13 countries can include owning property. A privilege nations extend to citizens is holding
elected office and some countries extend immunities to their citizens by preventing them
14
from being extradited to face criminal charges in other countries.
15
Countries do not extend citizenship solely to grant rights, privileges and immunities to
16 people. Citizenship is granted with the expectation of allegiance given to the country
bestowing the benefits of citizenship. Countries demand that this allegiance be observed
17 by its citizens and also impose obligations both civil and military. In times of crisis,
18 nations need to draw upon its citizens to establish a loyal force to defend its borders and
claims. In all times, nations, use the taxation of its citizens, both individuals and
19 corporations to insure its treasury is adequately funded to meet its needs. These
obligations are duties that its citizens must fulfill and that it cannot impose upon aliens
20 and foreigners.
21 The most basic definition of a citizen is one who is a member of a particular nation and is
22 entitled to receive rights, privileges and immunities from that particular nation that are
not bestowed upon people of other nations in exchange for their allegiance in performing
23 certain obligations not expected of people of other nations when called upon to do so.

24 Merriam Webster dictionary defines a citizen as “a person owing allegiance to and


entitled to the protection of a sovereign state.”
25

26
Page 125 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Black’s Law dictionary defines a citizen as “a person who owes allegiance to, and may
1 claim reciprocal protection from, a government.”

The Current Methods of Becoming a US Citizen
4 Throughout the history of the United States of America there have been only three major
5 classes of citizens: original, naturalized and born. On April 19, 1775, the United States of
America entered into armed revolt against the tyrannical rule of the English King. On that
6 date, these freedom fighters ceased being subjects of Great Britain and became
Americans. July 4, 1776 was merely the date when the second Continental Congress
7 declared to the world its intentions that had already been manifested on the battlefields.
From April 19, 1775 until September 17, 1787, those that remained or who came to the
8
13 original states and who were naturalized by the laws of those states during that time
9 were classified as original citizens in the Constitution. This classification of citizenship
no longer exists in the present day United States.
10
A naturalized citizen is a very specific class of citizen whose existence is defined in our
11 Constitution and laws. Naturalization is the process by which aliens declare their intent to
12 be a member of the United States. Setting forth the rules of naturalization is a
constitutional function of Congress under Article I. Since 1790, the Congress has
13 enacted naturalization laws, which determine how a foreign national transforms into a
national of the United States. A naturalized citizen is equal to in status as any other class
14 of citizen except those of the natural born citizen class, and only for the expressed
purpose of Article II, Section1.
15

16 The last method and the most common way to become an American citizen is simply to
be born a citizen. The United States has always had two principles that determine if a
17 person is born a citizen of the United States.

18 … the United States recognizes the U.S. citizenship of individuals according to


two fundamental principles: jus soli (right of birthplace) and jus sanguinis (right
19
of blood). From the office of Citizenship and Immigration Services
20
Historically jus sanguinis is the oldest principle used to determine citizenship. It was so
21 prior to the Fourteenth Amendment in the majority of the states when the States
themselves were sovereign and created the rules to determine who was a born citizen of
22 that State and by extension of the Nation. Some States extended citizenship to people
born within those States (jus soli), while other States granted citizenship to the children
23
of citizens of those States (jus sanguinis.) Each State placed restrictions upon who could
24 be granted citizenship based upon birth. These restrictions were based upon one’s status
and race. Some states discriminated against the race of a person, other states
25 discriminated against one’s status as a freeman, bondservant or slave regardless of race,
and some states restricted citizenship based upon a combination of both statuses.
26
Page 126 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
The term jus sanguinis describes a person born of parents who are citizens and jus soli
1 describes a person born in the country. Persons who are born only under the principle of
2 jus sanguinis are called a “consanguineously born citizens,” and their claim of citizenship
is based on inheritance. . On the other hand persons who claims their citizenship based
3 solely on the principle of jus soli are called “native born citizens” and these persons’
claims are based on the geographical location of their birth. Both principles are equal in
4 making one a born citizen. Being a born citizen extends to them one particular immunity
not given to naturalized citizens, in that born citizens are immune from involuntarily
5 renouncing their citizenship. A naturalized citizen can have his citizenship revoked for
6 several reasons, but under current law, born citizens must walk into a US Embassy
abroad and in front of the Consul renounce their citizenship.
7
The only two methods of obtaining US citizenship today are defined as Naturalization
8 and Birth. Of the birth method of obtaining citizenship there are two principles
recognized under our law. These are jus soli, which is based on the place of birth, and jus
9
sanguinis which is based on the parents. We are now able to refer to the Euler diagram
10 below called “Methods of Citizenship” in determining the ways to be considered a US
citizen today. (If you are unfamiliar with Euler diagrams, the large circle and the space
11 not occupied by either naturalized or born citizens does not indicate that there is any
other type of citizen. The large circle is used to collect the two methods of becoming US
12 citizens in one location called US Citizen so to separate them from other citizens such as
a citizen of the world or a citizen of Rome.)

21 From this diagram, we are able to make nine logical statements concerning general
citizenship in the United States.
22
1. All naturalized citizens are citizens of the United States.
23 2. All born citizens are citizens of the United States.
3. All born citizens are not naturalized citizens.
24 4. All naturalized citizens are not born citizens.
25 5. All Born citizens under the principle of jus soli are citizens of the United States.

26

6. All born citizens under the principle of jus sanguinis are citizens of the United
1 States
2 7. All born citizens under both the principles of jus soli and jus sanguinis are citizens
of the United States.
3 8. Not all born citizens under the principle of jus soli are born citizens under the
principle of jus sanguinis. (i.e. children born in the US to alien parents)
4 9. Not all born citizens under the principle of jus sanguinis are born citizens under
the principle of jus soli. (i.e. children born to US parents overseas)

6 The Reason for a “natural born citizen” in Article


7 II, Section 1 of the US Constitution
8
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at
9 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
10 have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a
resident within the United States. Article II, Section 1
11

12 Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong


check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national
13 Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the
American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born
14 Citizen. John Jay, July 25, 1787
15 To understand whom the future Chief Justice John Jay wanted to exclude from being
16 Commander in Chief we need to examine the definition of Foreigner. Using the three
most authoritative dictionaries, we can see who should be excluded and for what reason.
17 We can then start to arrive at a definition of a “natural born citizen,” that meets this
requirement.
18
MerriamWebster Dictionary - “a person belonging to or owing allegiance to a
19
foreign country.”
20
Oxford English Dictionary – “One who is a subject of another country than that in
21 which he resides. A resident foreign in origin and not naturalized, whose
allegiance is thus due to a foreign state.”
22
Blacks Law Dictionary - “A person who is not a citizen or subject of the state or
23
country in which mention is made, or any one owing allegiance to a foreign state
24 or sovereign”

25

26
Page 129 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
What all of these definitions have in common with the word citizen is allegiance. The
1 target of the allegiance is different between a foreigner and a citizen. Since the reason for
2 this prohibition of the admission of Foreigners into the office of Commander in Chief, is
to prevent the military from being used by non-American powers against the Republic.
3 Jay recommended and the framers agreed that this person must have a natural allegiance
that is total and absolute to the Nation and to no any other nation or potentate.
4
We can look at the citizenship types from the diagram above and make some logical
5 statements of both methods (naturalized and born) of being a citizen in light of
6 allegiance. These statements are made with reliance on generally known and accepted
facts.
7
Naturalized Citizens are not considered for President because of the following
8 observations that could allow the admission of Foreigners into the Administration
holding the post of Commander in Chief.
9

10 1. All naturalized citizens were citizens of another country at one point before
naturalization.
11 2. All naturalized citizens renounce the former allegiances and take an oath of
allegiance to the United States, but not all naturalized citizens are honest taking
12 the oath of allegiance.
a. Some countries send their nationals into a targeted country to become
13
citizens for the purpose of facilitating the affairs of their country of origin.
14 These “citizens” are not acting as registered agents of their former
countries, but are acting as de facto spies for that country. However,
15 because they took the oath of allegiance they are not considered enemy
agents or spies they are considered traitors.
16
This does not mean that all naturalized citizens are disloyal or have ulterior motives for
17
coming to America. It simply means that allowing naturalized citizens to be President
18 opens the possibility of a Foreigner acting under foreign influence. It is understood by
the vast majority of American citizens that naturalized citizens are ineligible to be
19 President of the United States and further discussion of this method of becoming a citizen
is not necessary.
20

21 At this point discussion will be based solely on the method of citizenship called Born
Citizen. As stated above there are two legal principles at work in determining if one is a
22 born citizen. Refer to the Euler diagram below called “Principles of Born Citizenship”

Principles of Born Citizenship
12

13

14 Not all Born Citizens are considered for President because of the following observations
that could allow the admission of Foreigners into the Administration holding the post of
15 Commander in Chief.
16
1. All born citizens owe allegiance to the United States.
17 2. Not all born citizens under jus soli have complete and sole allegiance to the
United States from birth, and some may be considered foreigners.
18 a. Some born citizens, especially those born to alien parents inherit
citizenship via jus sanguinis from their parents’ native countries.
19

20 i. It is possible for a born citizen US citizen to be born with


citizenship in three distinct countries. These citizenships can come
21 from the country of birth via jus soli, and the country of the father
and the country of the mother via jus sanguinis.
22
3. Not all born citizens under jus sanguinis have complete and sole allegiance to the
23 United States from birth, and some may be considered foreigners.
24 a. Some born citizens overseas receive citizenship in the country of birth via
jus soli.
25 b. Some born citizens overseas receive citizenship from a non-US citizen
parent via jus sanguinis.
26
Page 131 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
4. All born citizens under both jus soli and jus sanguinis from both US citizen
1 parents have complete and sole allegiance to the United States from birth, their
2 allegiance cannot be claimed by another country.

3 a. No other country can grant citizenship via jus soli.


b. No other country can grant citizenship via jus sanguinis.
4
i. Naturalized citizen parents have renounced their former
5 citizenships to become naturalized American citizens and can no
6 longer pass on jus sanguinis citizenship of their former country as
an automatic birthright.
7
We can now say with certainty that the term “a natural born citizen” is a person who is
8 born owing to only one country his or her complete and undivided national allegiance. It
is only to this individual that the Constitution of the United States of America entrusts the
9
office of President and the responsibilities of Commander in Chief to, there is no other. A
10 natural born citizen is a refining subset of that group of citizens called born citizens.

25

26
Page 132 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
At the time of the drafting and ratification of the United States constitution, there
1 was one and only one definition that combined both principles of jus soli and jus
2 sanguinis into a definition of natural born citizen.

3 “The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain
duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The
4 natives, or 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
5 children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their
6 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
7 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
8 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,
9
they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they
10 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
11 be only the place of his birth, and not his country.” Emmerich Vattel, Law of
Nations, § 212. Of the citizens and natives
12
Vattel’s definition of what a natural born citizen is was first codified into American
13
Common Law in the Supreme Court decision of THE VENUS, 12 U. S. 253 (1814)
14
“Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more
15 satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says ‘The
citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain
16 duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The
natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens.
17
Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the
18 citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed
to all their rights.’"
19
This definition was echoed by Congressman John A. Bingham, who is considered the
20 architect of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although the congressman said this concerning
21 the Civil Rights Act of 1866, this definition was not replaced by the Fourteenth
Amendment.
22
“I find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what
23 is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction
of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is,
24 in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen; but, sir, I may
25 be allowed to say further, that I deny that the Congress of the United States ever
had the power or color of power to say that any man born within the jurisdiction
26
Page 133 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
of the United States, and not owing a foreign allegiance, is not and shall not be a
1 citizen of the United States.” John A. Bingham, (R-Ohio) US Congressman,
2 March 9, 1866

3 This definition has been again codified into American Common Law through the case of
MINOR V. HAPPERSETT
4
The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort
5 must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature
6 of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that
all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves,
7 upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as
distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include
8 as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the
citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as
9
to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts.
10 It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of
citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens. The words "all
11 children" are certainly as comprehensive, when used in this connection, as "all
persons," and if females are included in the last, they must be in the first. That
12 they are included in the last is not denied. In fact, the whole argument of the
plaintiffs proceeds upon that idea. Unanimous opinion of the court. MINOR V.
13
HAPPERSETT, 88 U. S. 162 (1874)
14
The definition of a natural born citizen written by Vattel and recounted by both
15 Congressman Bingham and the Supreme Court, was what the Framers of the Constitution
wanted when the wrote and ratified Article II, Section 1. There can be no other definition
16 that provides the strong check that John Jay urged Washington to incorporate into the
Constitution to guard against those who could have allegiances to a foreign power from
17
being Commander and Chief of our armed forces. Until we as a nation change the
18 Constitution this is the only standard we can use to call someone an Article II natural
born citizen.
19
Using available material the Framers of Constitution and the architects of Article II,
20 section 1 had on hand, authoritative statements made by one of the architects of the
21 Fourteenth Amendment, and the Supreme Court decisions both before and after the
ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, allows us to create a natural born citizen
22 matrix.

The Fourteenth Amendment does not make one born
9
in the United States “a natural born citizen,” it only
10
makes them a “born citizen.”
11
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
12 jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein
they reside. Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1, Clause 1
13

14

15 The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified to insure that no state could or would deprive
the newly freed slaves or their children the rights of citizenship. This can be seen in the
16 remaining text of Section 1.
17
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
18 immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any
person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to
19 any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Fourteenth
Amendment, Section 1, Clause 2
20

21 This Amendment did not nor does it alter the principle of jus sanguinis. The principle of
jus sanguinis has been established by the States before the Constitution and codified into
22 national law since 1790. The freed slaves were not US citizens at the time they were
freed and could not have passed US Citizenship to their children. This amendment
23 extended the principle of jus soli uniformly across the nation, hence the term ‘born … in
the United States’ appears in the Fourteenth Amendment.
24

25

26
Page 135 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
The plain words of this section cannot be ignored. There is no term “natural born”
1 anywhere to be found. The reason it is not found is because there are the two methods of
2 citizenship that are joined by a logical ‘or,’ which treats both methods as being equal.
What they are equal to is the most generic term citizen. This is the one concept all
3 American citizens share, whether we are a naturalized citizen, a born citizen under the
principle of jus soli, a born citizen under the principle of jus sanguinis, or a natural born
4 citizen under both principles of jus soli and jus sanguinis, we are all citizens of the United
States.
5

6 The most disputed term in the Fourteenth Amendment is the term, ‘subject to the
jurisdiction thereof.’ From the civil rights act we find the words, “That all persons born
7 in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed,
are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States.” We can clearly see that just two
8 years later the phrase, “not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed,”
was replaced with the phrase, ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ Clearly this did not
9 change the essence of meaning, as the most complete and reliable definition we have
10 closest to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment is from Senator Lyman Trumbull,
the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee who was instrumental in drafting the
11 citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Senator Trumbull clearly and succinctly
states the meaning of ‘subject to the jurisdiction’, "What do we mean by 'subject to the
12 jurisdiction' of the United States? Not owing allegiance to anyone else. That is what it
means ... It cannot be said of any (one) who owes allegiance ... to some other government
13
that he is 'subject' to the jurisdiction of the United States." It is not our intention to
14 expand this paper into other current topics, the explanation of “subject to the
jurisdiction” is only to reinforce the fact that at the time of the Fourteenth Amendment
15 the general sentiment was that US citizenship carried with it a complete allegiance to the
United States.
16
The phrase ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ has been interpreted differently then what the
17
Amendments architects originally said in the case of Wong Kim Ark. This is a landmark
18 case in citizenship. It is not our intention to take this into the topic of immigration;
however it is necessary to examine this decision as it relates to the specifics of a natural
19 born citizen. There is one statement in the decision of Wong Kim Ark that seems to add
unnecessary confusion to the term a “natural born citizen.”
20

21 “The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural
born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle." Justice Horace
22 Gray Wong Kim Ark Case, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

23 There are historical factors that need explanation. But first let’s simply look at the logic
of what Justice Gray is saying. He is saying the principle (singular) that both a native
24 born and natural born share is the same. We know that a “natural born citizen” is a citizen
25 that has two principles to claim citizenship with, jus soli and jus sanguinis. On the other
hand, a “native born citizen” has to satisfy only one principle, jus soli to be granted
26
Page 136 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
citizenship. It is the principle of jus soli that is the same principle that a “natural born
1 citizen” shares with a “native born citizen” in making them a citizen of the United States,
2 so what Justice Gray stated is correct. This is proven by applying the same statement to a
born citizen born overseas by a citizen under the principle of jus sanguinis. If Justice
3 Gray had said, “The child of a citizen, if born out the country, is as much a citizen as the
natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle" this would hold
4 true, but the singular principle would not have been jus soli, but rather jus sanguinis. See
diagram “Shared principles of born citizens and natural born citizen.”
5

8
9

10
Shared principles of born citizens and natural born citizen
11

12

13 The historical factors that need to be considered at the time of Justice Gray’s opinion are,
the right to confer the birthright principle of jus sanguinis was limited to the father. This
14 right was not extended to women until 1934 and was upheld as late as 1961 in the case of
Montana v. Kennedy (366 U.S. 308). Therefore, the citizen parent that Justice Gray is
15 speaking of is the father. The law in effect at that time of his ruling, Revised Statutes of
1878, also gave the mother instant citizenship if she were an alien married to a US
16 citizen, making both parents US citizens. This decision has not altered the integrity or
17 meaning of the definitions of a natural born citizen from Vattel, Congressman Bingham
remarks or the Minor v. Happersett decision concerning the necessity of parents plural for
18 conferring upon a native-born citizen the status of natural born citizen. It is also obvious
that from the accepted law and definition of a natural born citizen at the time of the
19 ruling, Wong Kim Ark would never qualify as natural born citizen and future concerns
about Article II, Section 1 were never addressed by the Court as these concerns were not
20 germane to the issue in front of the court, which was general citizenship under the
21 Fourteenth Amendment.

22 We can now update our original Euler diagram to include natural born citizens as a
proper subset of Born Citizens.

26
Page 138 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Primarily is the issue of the Certificate of Live Birth that Barack Hussein Obama, II is
1 secreting from the American public is of major concern because it deprives the public of
2 the information needed to determine if he is telling the truth, or lying about his natural
born citizen status. Unlike the COLB, which is short hand for Certification of Live Birth,
3 the Certificate of Live Birth has the necessary information to either quickly determine the
natural born status of the child or can easily point to further documentation needed to
4 conclude this determination. The key pieces of information contained in the Hawaiian
Certificate of Live Birth are the place of birth of the child and the place of birth for both
5 parents. (See photo called Hawaiian Long Form from August 5, 1961) If either the father
6 or mother were born overseas, then the next piece of evidence required to validate the
“natural born citizen” claim would be proof of American citizenship of the parents of the
7 parent born overseas. This can be either in the form of a naturalization certificate or birth
certificates of the parents of the parent born overseas proving they were able to transfer
8 jus sanguinis, birthright citizenship to the parent of the child requiring confirmation of his

2 Hussein Obama, II’s “Fight the Smears” website we discover the following

3 Obama is claiming to be a native citizen of the United States of America. This means he
is claiming a status of ‘a Born Citizen’ under the principle of jus soli. It is interesting to
4 note that he is not claiming a natural born status, as required by Article II. Leave it as it is
for now.
5

6 On the same page, we see from FactCheck.org, Barack Hussein Obama, II admitting his
father was a British subject at the time of his birth. Furthermore the cite states that his

commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies

time of the birth:

Provided that if the father of such a person is a citizen of the United Kingdom and

Kingdom and Colonies by virtue of this section unless—

Page 140 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
(a) that person is born or his father was born in a protectorate, protected state,
1 mandated territory or trust territory or any place in a foreign country where by
2 treaty, capitulation, grant, usage, sufferance, or other lawful means, His Majesty
then has or had jurisdiction over British subjects; or
3
Note: Barack Hussien Obama, Sr. was in fact born in Kenya a British
4 Protectorate and crown colony. At one time Hawaii was a British
Protectorate, (1794–1843), in which the British Crown had jurisdiction of
5 British Subjects. If you have any doubts please look at the flag of Hawaii.
6 Either of these provisions fulfills the requirements of subsection 5 of the
British Nationality Act. Regardless if his birthplace was Kenya or Hawaii
7 Barack Hussein Obama, II is a British Subject. His father’s birth was in a
British Colony or his birth if in Hawaii which was at one time a British
8 Protectorate.
9
(b) that person's birth having occurred in a place in a foreign country other than
10 a place such as is mentioned in the last foregoing paragraph, the birth is registered
at a United Kingdom consulate within one year of its occurrence, or, with the
11 permission of the Secretary of State, later; or

12 Note: While subparagraph (a) makes this irrelevant, we have had neither a
statement from Obama, II stating this option was not exercised, nor do we have
13
independent confirmation from an authoritative source denying this.
14
Using the information contained on his website, we can accurately produce a natural
15 born citizen matrix for him to see if he is in fact an Article II, natural born citizen.

24 Using both the law and logic it can now clearly be seen that Barack Hussein Obama, II is
25 not a natural born citizen as required to hold the office of President of the United states of

26
Page 141 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
America and be the Commander in Chief of its armies as required under Article II,
1 Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America.
2
He does not meet the full and complete description of a “natural born citizen,” which is a
3 citizen who has unity of citizenship at birth to one and only one country via by both Jus
soli (place) and Jus sanguinis (the parents,) who is born in the country to two citizens of
4 the country. Such a citizen can only have his allegiance claimed by one country. A
natural born citizen cannot evade civic or military obligations by repatriating himself or
5 herself to another country since a natural born citizen does not have dual or multiple
6 citizenships by birth. A natural born citizen who gives his or her allegiance to another
country during a time of war cannot justify it by saying he or she is a spy or a patriot for
7 some other country for which he or she also has citizenship via birth. Such a person is
simply a traitor to his or her natural born country.
8
Obama’s refusal to release his long form Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii, his
9
manipulation of facts, his own statements can only lead a reasonable person to believe
10 that he intentionally has lead the United States of America into a Constitutional Crisis.

11 However, this can now be resolved by the state court of the State of Arizona, if there is
one sheriff, one prosecutor, one judge, one state representative loyal to the Constitution,
12 because on December 13, 2007 at 3:01 PM Mountain Time, Barrack Hussein Obama, II
fraudulently filed a sworn affidavit in his own hand that declared himself to be a natural
13
born citizen of the United States of America, and that he has fulfilled the requirements
14 under the Constitution. The landmark case of Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681 (1997) has
set the precedent that a sitting President is not immune from prosecution for acts
15 committed before taking office.

Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate: Why It Matters

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 3:54 PM Article Font Size

By: Christopher Ruddy
10

11
Where was Barack Obama born?
12
It’s a fair question.
13
But we still don’t know the answer because Obama won’t tell us, because he remains
14
the most mysterious man ever to sit in the Oval Office.
15
This week I appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s No. 1 rated “The O’Reilly Factor” to discuss
16 the controversy over Obama’s birth certificate, along with syndicated radio host Mike
Gallagher. [See the video of my appearance — Click Here Now.]
17

18 Let me make clear that I believe Obama was born somewhere in the state of Hawaii.
Days after his birth, a small legal notice was printed in the local newspaper
19 announcing his birth.

20 And the head of Hawaii's Health Department has stated that he reviewed pertinent
documents and that Obama was indeed born in that state.
21

22 So, those who believe Obama was born outside the United States, such as in Kenya,
are simply out to lunch.
23
But the real story here is about Obama’s failure to release his birth certificate.
24
As the state of Hawaii has made clear, the actual birth certificate has never been
25

26
Page 144 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
1 released.

2 Obama has released another document, the certification of live birth. This document
does not provide basic information, such as the place of Obama’s birth or the doctor
3 who conducted the procedure.
4
My brother Dan, a presidential historian who has a book coming out next year on
5 Theodore Roosevelt, pointed out to me how rare Obama is among presidents.

6 He says we have no idea of his birthplace.


7 Dan notes that, of our unbroken line of 43 men who have served as president, only
8 Zachary Taylor and Andrew Jackson, both born on the frontier, have disputed birth
sites. All others have some commemoration for their place of birth — except Obama.
9
In Manhattan, you can stroll down to 28 E. 20th St., between Park Avenue South and
10 Broadway, and visit the quaint brownstone that Theodore Roosevelt was born and
raised in.
11

12 For Obama there is no plaque, nothing. (His family has given two different hospitals in
Hawaii he was alleged to have been born in.)
13
We should know where our president was born. There is nothing conspiratorial in
14 having an answer to that question.
15
President Obama is no longer a private citizen. He is part of a chain of history that
16 stretches back to George Washington.

17 His birth site is just as relevant as those of the 42 men who came before him, and if
these sites are not relevant, than why do we as a nation go out of our way to
18 commemorate all of them?
19
When I asked Bill O’Reilly where in Honolulu Obama was born, he replied: “Chris, if
20 I wanted to know I’d find out tomorrow . . .”

21 Good luck, Bill. The Obama White House is the most secretive ever.
22 Since Obama announced his candidacy, much of his life has been shrouded in secrecy.
23
He still has never released his college transcripts, his records as a state legislator in
24 Illinois, his full medical records, even the names of donors who reportedly contributed
hundreds of millions of dollars that helped make him president.
25

26

1 In the past, the disclosure of such documents has been de rigueur for presidential
candidates.
2
When Sen. John McCain was questioned about his birth outside the United States in
3 the Panama Canal Zone, he released his birth certificate quickly.
4
When McCain was questioned about his health, he released 1,500 pages of medical
5 records.

6 When questions arose about donations to his campaign, McCain put his full donor file,
even names he didn’t have to disclose, online for anyone to see.
7

8 So, let me be clear.

9 The issue over Obama’s birth certificate is not about President Obama’s citizenship.

10 It is about his honesty and his promise to be the most transparent president ever.
11
Releasing his birth certificate and other personal records that presidents have
12 traditionally released to the public would go a long way toward bolstering those
claims.

19 Today the AP issued a story titled “Obama Birthplace Flap Evokes Arthur Debate”. The
story makes an analogy between the Obama birth certificate issue and the controversy
20 surrounding Chester Arthur’s birthplace. The story contains a lie. It states that Chester
Arthur never publicly addressed the issue of Hinman’s allegations that he was born in
21
Canada. But Arthur did specifically address these issues in the Brooklyn Eagle
22 newspaper.

23 However, AP and MSNBC won’t tell you that because Arthur was caught lying about his
parents heritage in those newspaper interviews. He was lying to cover up the fact that
24 Hinman was correct – Chester Arthur was a British subject – but for a different reason
than where he was born.
25

26
Page 150 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
AP and MSNBC forgot to mention that Chester Arthur’s father William didn’t become a
1 naturalized citizen of the US until 1843 – 14 years after old Chester was born. This
2 means that Chester Arthur was not a natural born citizen since at the time of his birth he
was a subject of Great Britain. These facts as to Chester Arthur’s failure to meet the
3 Constitutional requirement were first reported at this blog back in December ‘08.

4 Please see that report, Historical Breakthrough – Proof: Chester Arthur Concealed He
Was A British Subject At Birth.
5

6 No main stream media outlet has reported this historical discovery and as we can see by
the AP piece today, objective reporting has been replaced by propaganda. AP reported as
7 follows:

8 Never addressed allegation


Democrats, meanwhile, hired a lawyer named Arthur Hinman who sought to discredit
9
Arthur, claiming he was born in Dunham, Quebec, about 47 miles north of Fairfield.
10 Hinman traveled to Vermont and Canada to research Arthur’s past, eventually
concluding that Arthur was born in Canada but appropriated the birth records of a baby
11 brother who was born in Fairfield, but died as an infant.

12 He later incorporated the findings into a book titled “How A British Subject Became
President of the United States.”
13

14 Arthur, who served from 1881 to 1885, never publicly addressed the allegation.

15 But Arthur did address the issue.


16 In the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, an article interviewing Chester Arthur about Hinman’s
17 accusations was published on August 13, 1880. In that article, Chester Arthur defended
himself as follows:
18
“My father, the late Rev. William Arthur, D.D., was of Scotch blood, and was a native of
19 the North of Ireland. He came to this country when he was eighteen years of age, and
resided here several years before he was married.”
20

21 This was another blatant lie. His father emigrated from Ireland to Canada at the age of
22 or 23. William Arthur didn’t come to the United States until sometime between
22 March 1822 – when his first child was born in Dunham, Canada – and March 1824 –
when his second child was born in Burlington, Vermont. The youngest he could have
23 been when he came to Vermont was 26.
24
On August 16, 1880 Chester Arthur told the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper that at the time of
25 his birth, his father was forty years old. Another blatant lie. His father would have been
only thirty-three years old when Chester was born.
26
Page 151 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
In that same article he lied that his father settled in Vermont and reiterated the lie that
1 William came here at the age of eighteen. This age discrepancy was exposed in the
2 August 19, 1880 edition of the Brooklyn Eagle in an article written by Hinman .

3 It was very convenient for Arthur that Hinman kept the focus on the extraordinary and
false claim – that Arthur was born abroad – while the more subtle and true eligibility
4 issue stayed hidden in plain site.
5 AP just published a story that said Arthur never publicly addressed the issue and the
6 stench of a propaganda lie fills the air. We are treading in very dangerous waters,
America. History is being controlled by lies.

HISTORICAL BREAKTHROUGH – PROOF: CHESTER ARTHUR
5
CONCEALED HE WAS A BRITISH SUBJECT AT BIRTH
6

7 December 6, 2008 6:36 PM

8 [I have collaborated on this with my sister and historian Greg Dehler, author of "Chester
Allan Arthur", Published by Nova Science Publishers, Incorporated, 2006 ISBN
9 1600210791, 9781600210792 192 pages. ]
10
I’ve been forwarded the actual naturalization record for William Arthur on microfiche,
11 obtained from the Library of Congress. He was naturalized in New York State and
became a United States citizen in August 1843.
12
Chester Arthur perpetrated a fraud as to his eligibility to be Vice President by spreading
13 various lies about his parents’ heritage. President Arthur’s father, William Arthur,
14 became a United States citizen in August 1843. But Chester Arthur was born in 1829.
Therefore, he was a British Citizen by descent, and a dual citizen at birth, if not his whole
15 life.

16 He wasn’t a “natural born citizen” and he knew it.


17 We’ve also uncovered many lies told by Chester Arthur to the press which kept this fact
18 from public view when he ran for Vice President in 1880. Garfield won the election,
became President in 1881, and was assassinated by a fanatical Chester Arthur supporter
19 that same year.

20 How ironic that the allegations started by Arthur Hinman in his pamphlet entitled, “How
A British Subject Became President”, have turned out to be true…but not for the reason
21
Hinman suggested.
22
Hinman alleged that Arthur was born in Ireland or Canada as a British subject. It was
23 bunk. It’s been definitively established that Chester Arthur was born in Vermont. But
Hinman turns out to be correct anyway since Chester Arthur was a British citizen/subject
24 by virtue of his father not having naturalized as a United States citizen until Chester
Arthur was almost 14 years old.
25

26 That means Chester Arthur was a British subject at the time of his birth.
Page 153 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
We’ve uncovered news clips exposing a thorough trail of lies, all of which served to
1 obscure Chester Arthur’s true history of having been born as a British citizen.
2
Chester Arthur’s lies came during his Vice Presidential campaign in 1880. His fraudulent
3 attempt to obfuscate family history provides context and evidence that in 1880 it was
recognized that having been born as a British citizen would make one ineligible to be
4 President or VP. His falsification of family history indicates he was aware of POTUS
ineligibility.
5

6 HISTORICAL CONTEXT

7 Chester Arthur was in politics at the time of the 14th Amendment’s ratification. He was
a lawyer and a politician while the 14th Amendment was being debated. It was ratified in
8 1867. In that same year Chester Arthur rose to become chairperson of the Executive
Committee of the State Republican Committee. He would have been fully cognizant of
9
the natural born citizen issue and that should he ever run for POTUS or VP, problems
10 could arise.

11 He would have known that if anybody found out his father naturalized after he was born,
he could never be President or Vice President.
12
CHESTER’S LIES
13

14 The definitive biography on Chester Arthur is “Gentleman Boss” by Thomas Reeves. It’s
an exhaustive reference. Many of the blanks in Chester Arthur’s legend were filled in by
15 this book which utilized interviews with family members and authentic documents like
the Arthur family Bible. It was a necessary work since old Chester Arthur was a very
16 wily protector of his strange history. He burned all of his papers. (See page 2365.)
17
“Gentleman Boss” establishes, on page 4, that Chester Arthur’s father William was born
18 in Ireland, 1796, and emigrated to Canada in 1818 or 1819. His mother Malvina was
born in Vermont and his parents eloped in Canada in 1821. They had their first child,
19 Regina, in Dunham, Canada on March 8, 1822.
20 By no later than 1824, the Arthur family had moved to Burlington, Vermont. Their
21 second child Jane was born there on March 14, 1824. Chester Arthur was their fifth
child, and he was born on October 5, 1829. Reeves established these facts (and the
22 correct date of Chester Arthur’s birth) from the Arthur family Bible.

23 From “Gentleman Boss”, page 202 and 203:


24
“…Hinman was hired, apparently by democrats, to explore rumors that Arthur had been
25 born in a foreign country, was not a natural-born citizen of the United States, and was
thus, by the Constitution, ineligible for the vice-presidency. By mid-August, Hinman was
26
Page 154 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
claiming that Arthur was born in Ireland and had been brought to the United States by
1 his father when he was fourteen. Arthur denied the charge and said that his mother was
2 a New Englander who had never left her native country — a statement every member of
the Arthur family knew was untrue.”
3
Arthur’s mother had lived in Canada with her husband and even had her first child there.
4
In the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, an article interviewing Chester Arthur about Hinman’s
5 accusations was published on August 13, 1880. In that article, Chester Arthur defended
6 himself as follows:

7 “My father, the late Rev. William Arthur, D.D., was of Scotch blood, and was a native of
the North of Ireland. He came to this country when he was eighteen years of age, and
8 resided here several years before he was married.”
9
This was another blatant lie. His father emigrated from Ireland to Canada at the age of
10 22 or 23. William Arthur didn’t come to the United States until sometime between
March 1822 – when his first child was born in Dunham, Canada – and March 1824 –
11 when his second child was born in Burlington, Vermont. The youngest he could have
been when he came to Vermont was 26.
12
On August 16, 1880 Chester Arthur told the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper that at the time of
13
his birth, his father was forty years old. Another blatant lie. His father would have been
14 only thirty-three years old when Chester was born.

15 In that same article he lied that his father settled in Vermont and reiterated the lie that
William came here at the age of eighteen. This age discrepancy was exposed in the
16 August 19, 1880 edition of the Brooklyn Eagle in an article written by Hinman .
17
It was very convenient for Arthur that Hinman kept the focus on the extraordinary and
18 false claim – that Arthur was born abroad – while the more subtle and true eligibility
issue stayed hidden in plain site.
19
FATEFUL FACTS
20

21 I contacted Greg Dehler a few days ago after finding a reference in his Chester Arthur
biography which said William Arthur became a citizen in 1843. I wrote to Greg and
22 asked him about the reference. As fate would have it, Mr. Dehler, after checking his
notes, wrote back to me to say that he got it from Thomas Reeves’ book, “Gentleman
23 Boss”.
24
I went to the library the next day and devoured the Reeves book. But the reference to
25 William’s naturalization was not there. Greg also knew I was interested in the Hinman

26
Page 155 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
scandal and pointed me to the Brooklyn Eagle search engine from the Brooklyn public
1 library.
2
I began poking around and discovered a few of the lies mentioned above.
3
Earlier today I was telling my sister that this matter of Chester Arthur having falsified his
4 parents’ personal history might lead to a very important revision of history. I suggested
we put together an outline of a book as we might be able to prove that Chester Arthur was
5 a fraudulent President and that would be quite a story. My sister thought I was jumping
6 the gun a bit in that we really needed to define when William Arthur was naturalized
before we could get excited.
7
About an hour later I received an email from Greg Dehler. I’ll let you read it:
8
Leo,
9

10 Needless to say I was more than a little embarrassed that you could not locate the
reference in Reeves. I thought that was odd because my note concerning William Arthur
11 was with the Reeves notes. I conducted a more thorough search and found the source. It
was in the Chester A. Arthur Papers (what is left of them at least) at the LOC. I own the
12 microfilm reels and made a copy for you which is attached. The Washington County
Clerk in NYS dates it August 31, 1843. How does this affect Chet?
13

14 Greg

15 I almost fell off my chair when I downloaded the William Arthur naturalization PDF and
was staring at the shifting sands of history.
16

17 Chester Arthur had something to hide.

18 He had all of his papers burned which was very odd for a President.

19 Arthur lied about his mother’s time in Canada. He lied about his father’s time in
Canada. He lied about his father’s age plus where and when he got off the boat from
20 Ireland. By obscuring his parents’ personal history he curtailed the possibility that
21 anybody might discover he was born many years before his father had naturalized.

22 When Chester runs for VP, Hinman comes along essentially demanding to see Chester’s
birth certificate to prove he was born in the United States. This causes a minor scandal
23 easily thwarted by Chester, because Chester was born in Vermont…but at the same time,
the fake scandal provides cover for the real scandal.
24

25 Is this the twilight zone?

26
Page 156 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
William Arthur was not a naturalized citizen at the time of Chester Arthur’s birth, and
1 therefore Chester Arthur was a British subject at birth and not eligible to be Vice
2 President or President.

3 Chester Arthur lied about his father’s emigration to Canada and the time his mother spent
there married to William. Some sixty years later, Chester lied about all of this and kept
4 his candidacy on track. Back then it would have been virtually impossible to see through
this, especially since Arthur’s father had died in 1875 and had been a United States
5 citizen for thirty-two years.
6
And without knowledge of his father’s time in Canada, or the proper timeline of events,
7 potential researchers in 1880 would have been hard pressed to even know where to start.

8 Reeves proved that Arthur changed his birth year from 1829 to 1830. I don’t know if that
would have protected recorded information. It’s another lie. I just don’t know what it
9
means.
10
Because Chester Arthur covered up his British citizenship, any precedent he might
11 have set that the country has had a President born of an alien father is nullified
completely as Chester Arthur was a usurper to the Presidency. He wouldn’t have
12 been on the ticket if it was public knowledge. Nobody knew Arthur was a British
subject because nobody looked in the right place for the truth.
13

14 And it’s no precedent to follow.

Obama's MySpace page: I'm 52 years old, not 48

9 If President Obama were indeed
born in Hawaii, was it while the
10 islands were a territory of the United
States?
11

12 A new wrinkle in the dispute over


his birth – and whether he is eligible
13 to be president under the U.S.
Constitution's requirement that the
14 president be a "natural born" citizen
15 – appeared today when Obama's
official MySpace page declared his
16 age is 52, thus placing his birth year
at 1957 instead of 1961 as has been
17 claimed. Is President Obama's age 52? His MySpace page declares his age as 52,
thus putting his birth year at 1957, two years before Hawaii achieved U.S.
statehood.
18 That would mean he would have
19 been born during the archipelago's time as a territory of the U.S., the islands' status from
about 1900 until statehood in 1959.
20
The birth year also conflicts with campaign and other White House information that have
21 discussed his 48th birthday this month.

18 blog, blurbs, news clips, videos and comments from his MySpace friends."

19 A WND request to the White House for comment did not generate an immediate
response.
20

21 It was the Associated Press that reported on Aug. 4 Obama was having Senate Democrats
to lunch because "it's the president's birthday and Chuck E. Cheese was booked."
22
AP credited Obama with being the nation's third youngest president who turned 48 this
23 month.
24
Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent at the White House, several times has raised the
25 question over Obama's eligibility at White House news briefings – initially asking why
the president didn't just release a copy of his original long-form birth certificate.
26
Page 161 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Robert Gibbs, Obama's press secretary, at first laughed at the idea, stating the "birth
1 certificate" was on the Internet. That image, however, shows a "certification of live
2 birth" which is not the same document and until recently wasn't even accepted as
identification by the state of Hawaii for some of its programs.
3
But a multitude of other records that also have not been released would shed light on the
4 president's past, including his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental
College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School
5
records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago,
6 passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State
Bar Association records, any baptism records and adoption records.
7
Even when a hospital in Honolulu started using an image of a letter purporting to be from
8
Obama acknowledging the facility as his place of birth, the White House refused to
9 confirm the validity of the letter.

10 The dispute rages because Obama has not provided simple, incontrovertible proof of his
exact birthplace. That information would be included on his long-form, hospital-
11 generated birth certificate which Obama has steadfastly refused to release amid a flurry
of conflicting reports.
12

13 Hawaiian law specifically allows "an adult or the legal parents of a minor child" to apply
to the health department and, upon unspecified proof, be given the birth document.
14
WND has reported on the dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born
15 citizen" – challenges that all have been confronted by attorneys acting on the president's
16 behalf to keep his records sealed.

17 The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "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
18 eligible to the Office of President."
19 Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he
20 was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young
at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the
21 time.

22 Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan
subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making
23
him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual
24 citizens from qualifying as natural born.

25

26
Page 162 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums estimated in the hundreds
1 of thousands of dollars to avoid releasing a state birth certificate that would put to rest all
2 of the questions.

3 The key question in the dispute also is being raised on billboards nationwide.

22 standard "long-form" birth certificate that would show which hospital he was born in, the
attending physician and establish that he truly was born in Hawaii, as his autobiography
23 maintains.

Birth certificate fraud: It's been done before
6 FBI, Department of Justice have record of bribe scandal

11 How can an official certification of live birth be


obtained if the person on the document wasn't born in the
12 state or even in the country the document was issued?
13
Actually, it's been done before.
14
In 2004, following a long investigation by the FBI and
15 Department of State, Jean Anderson, the former deputy
registrar of the Hudson County, N.J., Office of Vital
16
Statistics, pleaded guilty to taking money for falsifying
17 county records.

18 According to a Department of Justice news release,


Anderson was paid to insert phony birth records for
19 illegal aliens into the files at her county office. The
immigrants, in turn, approached county window clerks
20
and requested copies of their birth certificates, after Hudson County, N.J., Courthouse

21 which the clerks looked to the files and, upon seeing the
records Anderson had inserted, issued fraudulent birth certificates unknowingly.
22
Federal agents executed a search warrant of the HCOVS in February of 2004, resulting in
23 the seizure of hundreds of suspect birth certificates listing birthplaces in Jersey City, N.J,
24 when in fact, the individuals named were immigrants born outside the U.S.

25 The recipients of the phony birth certificates weren't seeking to become president; they
were merely seeking status as American citizens.
26
Page 165 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
The New Jersey case, however, has been referenced in blogs since last year as reason for
1 President Barack Obama to release his full, long-form birth certificate, rather than
2 insisting the nation trust only in his Hawaii Certification of Live Birth, or COLB, a
document that merely refers to the presence of another, unreleased document in Hawaii's
3 files.

4 If Obama were actually born out of the country, some skeptics of the president's
eligibility to the office contend, but his parents wanted to ensure his American citizenship
5 – no foresight into his future political aspirations needed – a simple payoff in Obama's
6 birth year of 1961 could have generated fraudulent COLBs ever since.

7 "It is deadly serious in this day and age when we have people like Anderson and her co-
conspirators making it possible for anyone to present themselves as lawful U.S. citizens
8 when they are not," said U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie in 2004. "The possibilities
run from the benign to the horrific."
9

10 Anderson's case pointed to an extensive conspiracy of illegal immigration fraud that also
resulted in guilty pleas from Nikhil Goswamy, who took money from immigrants seeking
11 American citizenship, and Rajendra Bahadur, who supplied Anderson with the vital
statistic information necessary to generate the phony birth records.
12
Federal agents also arrested Iftikhar Ali Bhutta, a Pakistani national who purchased from
13
Goswamy false birth certificates for himself and his three foreign-born children.
14 According to the DOJ press release, Bhutta and his children utilized the false birth
certificates to obtain U.S. passports, which they used to travel internationally.
15
According to The Record, a newspaper in Hackensack, N.J., authorities raided the
16 county's Office of Vital Statistics, seizing 100 boxes of birth certificates dating back to
17 1902. The paper also reported that the State Department announced in 2004 that Hudson
County birth certificates would not be accepted as proof of citizenship in passport
18 applications.
19 Five years later, the federal government still does not accept birth certificates from
Hudson County when applying for a U.S. passport.
20

21 As WND has reported, an American citizen can usually obtain a passport with a long-
form birth certificate, but some state-issued short forms are not sufficient, and obtaining a
22 passport with a Certificate of Live Birth such as the one purported to be Barack Obama's
and posted online, officials told WND, can be "complicated."
23

24 According to Jerry Fuller and Mike Persons of the passport services division of the U.S.
State Department, a document such as Obama's online COLB could be acceptable to
25 prove U.S. citizenship for the purposes of getting a passport if it contains a certain
number of components, such as time and date of birth, location and name.
26
Page 166 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Fuller also said birth certificates should reveal the location of the child's birth accurately,
1 but he confirmed there are cases known where that has not happened.
2
"There are some documents that say things that aren't true," Fuller said. "That's not what's
3 supposed to happen."

6 WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born

7 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."
8
Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he

10 at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the

Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums estimated in the hundreds
15 of thousands of dollars to avoid releasing a state birth certificate that would put to rest all

of Live Birth:"

18 To date, Obama has not revealed his original long-form, hospital-generated "Certificate
of Live Birth" that includes details such as the name of the medical facility and the doctor
19 who delivered him.
20
Obama's birth certificate is not the only document at issue. WND has reported that among
21 the documentation not yet available for Obama includes his kindergarten records, his
Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University
22 records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review
23 articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical
records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar
24 Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.

Obama mama: 6 lost months
No documented record of whereabouts, activity leading up to baby's
8 birth in '61

13 John F. Kennedy was sworn into office.

14 Roger Maris was hitting 61 home runs.


15 The Berlin wall was erected.
16
Much was happening in the first six months of 1961.
17 But an extensive WND investigation into events
leading up to the birth of Barack Obama, who would
18 become America's first black president 47 years later,
leaves many unanswered questions about the
19 whereabouts and activities of the woman he claims as
20 his mother.

21 The timeline for Obama's mother, Ann Dunham,


reveals an approximately six-and-a-half month interval
22 Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Jr. in which there is no documentation for her
whereabouts, from Jan. 31, 1961, when she concluded
23
the fall term at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, until Aug. 19, 1961, when the
24 University of Washington at Seattle documents she was enrolled for extension courses.

25 Where was Dunham when she was pregnant with Obama, and what did she do?

26
Page 170 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Her pregnancy apparently was the one time in her life she withdrew from academic
1 pursuits.
2
Assuming Barack Obama Jr. was born Aug. 4, 1961, and the baby was full-term,
3 Dunham quit the University of Hawaii when she was two months pregnant while her
husband-to-be continued his studies at the same school without interruption.
4

5 One explanation is that Dunham simply left to focus her energy and time on the
coming baby, even though that seems inconsistent with the rapidity with which she
6 returned to university studies, in a distant city, after the birth.

7 That Dunham dropped out to be a housewife and mother would have represented a very
traditional adaptation to what was in reality anything but a traditional marriage or
8
subsequent career and motherhood.
9
There are no travel or passport records available for Dunham, Barack Obama Sr. or
10 President Obama, so determining whether Dunham remained in Hawaii during these
undocumented months is difficult.
11

12 Dunham quits University of Hawaii

13 According to records provided WND by Stuart Lau, the registrar at the University of
Hawaii at Manoa, Dunham dropped out of the university at the end of the fall term 1960:

Lau further documented that this term ended Jan. 31, 1961.

2 From the documentary record, Barack Obama Sr. continued his studies at the university,
even though Dunham dropped out at the end of the term in which they met, her
3 first.

12

13 Questions over wedding date

14 The only documentation for Dunham's marriage to Barack Obama Sr. comes from
divorce documents that list the marriage date as Feb. 2, 1961.
15

16 No wedding certificate for the couple has ever been found or published.

17 In his autobiography "Dreams from My Father," Obama wrote of his parents wedding:
"There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No
18 families were in attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were fully
informed. Just a small civil ceremony, a justice of the peace. The whole thing seems so
19
fragile in retrospect, so haphazard."
20
The documentation for Barack Obama's birthday comes from the two different versions
21 of the short-form Certification of Live Birth, or COLB, produced by the Obama
campaign and separately by FactCheck.org., as well as from birth announcements
22 published at the time by the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin
23 newspapers.

24 WND has previously reported that in response to a direct question, the Hawaii
Department of Health refused to authenticate either of the two versions of the short-form
25 COLB or to tell WND which of the variations more resembled COLB documents
typically issued by the department.
26
Page 172 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
WND has also reported that the birth notices printed by the two Honolulu newspapers in
1 1961 do not provide solid proof of a birth in Hawaii because of uncertainties over the
2 policies and procedures that apparently were in use at the time.

3 Even assuming the newspapers reported what they received from the vital records
division of the Hawaii DOH, Hawaii law in 1961 specifically allowed "an adult or the
4 legal parents of a minor child" to apply to the health department and, upon unspecified
proof, be given a short-form COLB.
5

6 WND has documented that until state policies were changed after the report was
published, the website of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands stated clearly the
7 COLB touted by the Obama campaign, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and a
host of other Obama defenders, was not acceptable as a form of identification to qualify
8 under this program.
9
Even determining the hospital of his birth has become a controversy, with the Obama
10 family and supporters claiming two different facilities – and neither of those facilities
willing to confirm.
11
Websites supportive of Obama scrubbed references he was born in Queens Memorial
12 Hospital after WND published a report documenting the White House had changed the
13 story to claim he was born at Kapi'olani Medical Center.

14 WND has also reported Obama may be using his political action committee funds to pay
more than $1.35 million to lawyers to stamp out eligibility lawsuits brought by
15 Americans seeking the public release of his long-form birth certificate.
16 The facts remain that while Obama and his supporters have made many photographs
17 available from his childhood, key photographs are missing:

18 • No photographs of Dunham's marriage to Barack Obama Sr. have ever been


published.
19
• No photographs have yet surfaced showing Dunham pregnant in 1961.
20
• No photographs have yet surfaced of the parents with Barack Obama Jr. at the
21
hospital where he was born.
22
• No photographs have yet surfaced of the parents after the newly born infant was
23 taken home.

24 Problems with Obama's story


25

26
Page 173 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Until a long-form original birth certificate specifying important details, including the
1 hospital where he was born and the attending physician, is made public and
2 authenticated, Obama's place and date of birth must be considered as yet undocumented.

3 The official story of his birth, as presented in "Dreams from My Father" and in various
accounts in newspapers and supportive websites conveys a very different timeline than a
4 careful analysis of the available documentary evidence.
5 • The documentary evidence establishes that Dunham left Hawaii when she moved
6 to Seattle in August 1961 to begin her studies at the University of Washington,
only 15 days after the birth of Barack Obama Jr. In contrast, the official story is
7 that Dunham did not relocate to Seattle until late 1962.

8 • The documentary evidence also establishes Dunham abandoned her husband


when she left to begin school at the University of Washington in August 1961,
9 never again to live with Barack Obama Sr. as husband and wife. In contrast, the
10 official story is that Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. lived together as a married
couple in Hawaii until Barack Obama Sr. departed for Harvard to begin the fall
11 term in September 1962.

12 The repositioning of Dunham's attendance at the University of Washington and the date
she left a matrimonial home with Barack Obama Sr. appears to have been designed to
13 mask a secret that lies at the heart of the Obama birth certificate controversy.

19 The University of Washington has documented to WND that the summer quarter 1961

21 Fall quarter classes on campus began Sept. 25, 1961, with the university communicating
to WND that Dunham's transcript reveals extension courses that appeared to involve a
22 combination of independent study and night courses.
23
As WND has also reported, the evidence that Dunham was in Seattle in August 1961
24 comes from three sources:

25

26
Page 175 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
• The public records division of the University of Washington has e-mailed WND
1 that: "Ms. Stanley Ann Dunham was enrolled at the University of Washington for:
2 Autumn 1961, Winter 1962, Spring 1962."

4 • Mary Toutonghi, the babysitter for Barack Obama Jr., told WND she babysat for
Obama when he was 7 months old (around February/March 1962) and Dunham
5
was attending night classes at the University of Washington that started around
6 4:30 in the afternoon.

7
8 • The Polk 1961-1962 directory listed Dunham at a Capitol Hill address in Seattle.
9
The Obama "mama" timeline
10
A timeline based on the documented evidence shows the six-month gap between
11 Dunham's departure from the University of Hawaii Jan. 31, 1961, and her
commencement of studies at the University of Washington Aug. 19, 1961.

11 SCOTUS IN “WONG KIM ARK” AND “MINOR V. HAPPERSETT”


12 RIGHTFULLY PUNTED ON “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” -…(snipped by
13 Ed. 03.03.09)
14
[UPDATE: 03.03.09 Apologies in light blue.]
15
[UPDATE 5:08 PM Rewritten. Changes in purple.]
16
They fumbled on purpose because they were afraid to run with the ball and get hit.
17

18 [I apologize to the Honorable Court for making the above statement. The statement was
an emotional response not grounded in facts or law. 03.03.09]
19
I get more questions about United States v. Wong Kim Ark than any other case. Recently,
20 Steve Marquis wrote to me and asked for a clarification about this. Steve is the person
who first sued the Washington Secretary of State back in October. I was inspired by
21
Steve’s action to file my own suit.
22
I now find this all irrelevant since if the court was ever going to uphold the Constitution,
23 it would have done so by now on this issue.
24 [Same apology as above.]
25

26
Page 177 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
As I’ve stated in comments to my last blog (which was satire people), you have no
1 Constitution and you have no “Supreme” court. You have a filthy corrupted snake pit
2 which tried to protect itself from responsibility for this issue by using clerks like brutal
praetorian guards.
3
[Same apology as above.]
4
But, out of respect for Steve’s effort and the overall confusion this case has caused on the
5 natural born citizen issue, I’ve written the following explanation thereto in the hope that
6 the current court will receive no historical cover from Wong Kim Ark as none is due.

7 In Wong Kim Ark, the court thoroughly discussed “natural born citizen”. And in doing
so, Justice Gray quoted directly from the holding in a prior Supreme Court case, Minor v.
8 Happersett. The following passage is a quote from Minor as quoted by Justice Gray in
Wong Kim Ark:
9

10 ” ‘At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the constitution were
familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country, of parents who were its
11 citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or
natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go
12 further, and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction, without reference to
the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to
13
the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is
14 sufficient, for everything we have now to consider, that all children, born of citizen
parents within the jurisdiction, are themselves citizens.’ Minor v. Happersett (1874) 21
15 Wall. 162, 166-168.”
16 (Emphasis added.)
17
Look at that, you have Justice Gray citing the court in Minor who are themselves citing
18 the “Laws of Nations” definition (they didn’t directly cite that treatise but the definition
used is taken therefrom) of natural born citizen = person born in US to “citizen parents”
19 = nbc .
20 In Minor, they clearly established who was a “natural born citizen” beyond any doubt, a
21 definition that does not include Obama. As to persons born in the US to foreign parents
they said, as directly quoted in Wong Kim Ark by Justice Gray, “As to this class there
22 have been doubts, but never as to the first.“

23 [UPDATE: 12:11 PM ...(thanks to reader "rossalgondamer" for pointing out the


following). The Court in Minor refused to say that a person born in the US to parents who
24
were foreigners was a " natural born citizen" - as I've stated in the original post here - but
25 the reader points out that the Minor court also refused to say whether such a person was
even a "citizen" at all.
26
Page 178 – PETITION – FOR THE CONVENING OF A FEDERAL GRAND JURY
I will add to the reader's comment by pointing out that Justice Gray in Wong Kim Ark
1 cited Minor, but Minor doesn't really support the holding in Wong Kim Ark, it's just that
2 Gray's opinion makes it look like it does.

3 US History desperately needs to consider whether Justice Gray's appointment by Chester


Arthur infected the opinion he wrote in Wong Kim Ark, since that opinion looks more
4 and more dodgy every day in that it has the appearance of sanitizing Chester Arthur's
citizenship problems as to POTUS eligibility since his father was not naturalized until
5 Chester was 14, as we recently discovered, and therefore Chester Arthur was a British
6 subject at the time of his birth, just like Obama. ]

7 For the purposes of Minor and Wong Kim Ark, the Supreme Court didn’t need to reach
the “natural born citizen” issue as neither person was running for President, so they
8 rightfully punted by limiting their holdings to the issue of whether each person was a
“citizen”.
9

10 But they discussed the “natural born citizen” issue thoroughly. Justice Gray in Wong
Kim Ark quoted this EXACT passage from Minor. And in doing so, Justice Gray and the
11 court punted on whether Wong Kim Ark was a “natural born citizen” specifically limiting
their holding to state that the person was a “citizen”.
12
There’s a clear distinction made in the Wong Kim Ark case between “natural born
13
citizens” and “citizens”. Justice Gray’s majority opinion said Wong Kim Ark was a
14 “Citizen” but went no further than that. He cleverly evaded the issue of whether a person
born in the US to parents who weren’t citizens was a “natural born citizen” although a
15 lazy reader of the case might come away with the wrong impression. (Intentional?)
Since Wong Kim Ark wasn’t running for President, they were able to punt:
16

17 “The evident intention, and the necessary effect, of the submission of this case to the
decision of the court upon the facts agreed by the parties, were to present for
18 determination the single question, stated at the beginning of this opinion, namely,
whether a child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time
19 of his birth, are subjects of the emperor of China, but have a permanent domicile and
residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed
20 in any diplomatic or official capacity under the emperor of China, becomes at the time of
21 his birth a citizen of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of
opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative. ” (Emphasis added.)
22
They held that Wong Kim Ark was a “citizen” but they did not hold that he was a
23 “natural born citizen”. And Justice Gray thoroughly discussed the definition of “natural
born citizen” in his review of the Minor case wherein the Supreme Court in Minor
24 adopted the Laws of Nations definition of “natural born citizen” as being the only
25 definition which is free of doubt.

I have stated over and again that the Wong Kim Ark decision supports the argument that
1 Obama is not a natural born citizen in that the court clearly had the chance in the Wong
2 Kim Ark opinion to define “natural born citizen” as being inclusive of persons born in the
United States to foreign parents… but they didn’t.
3
And so, as is so very clearly established by the supreme court in Minor and Wong Kim
4 Ark, there are now, and have always been, doubts about whether people born in the US to
foreign parents are “natural born citizens”, or, as the Court in Minor discussed, whether
5 such persons are even “citizens”.
6
Certainly, since Minor came down in 1873 and the Supreme Court then refused to
7 confirm or deny whether persons born in the US to foreign parents were even citizens,
then at the time Chester Arthur ran for Vice President in 1880, the issue of whether he
8 was even a citizen was in doubt. The issue of whether he was a “natural born citizen”
therefore leaves no doubt. He wasn’t, and either is Obama. But this isn’t the same
9
United States. Back then we had a Constitution. Now we don’t.
10
Those “doubts” mentioned in Minor needed to be discussed and adjudicated by the
11 current supreme court. But they didn’t have the right stuff to take the issue on. And that
makes them neither supreme nor even willing to live up to their oath of office to uphold
12 the Constitution.

[Same apology as above.]

Shame on them. Shame on this court who lacked the courage to do their job by taking on
15 this tough issue and having it out in open court. Not one of them had the decency to at
least issue an opinion to the nation as to why the applications were denied.
16

17 Instead of respecting the citizens who took time, money and risk to bring these actions,
those citizens were subjected to the most bizarre clerical behavior this lawyer of
18 seventeen years has ever seen or could ever imagine.

19 This current supreme court is a blasphemy to justice. They have no honor. They
disgust me in every fiber of my being, a sick joke to a sick country in their silly
20 robes and ruffles.

Neither Obama nor McCain was eligible. Calero was obviously not eligible having been
23 removed from the ballots in five states.
24
The Secretaries of several States claim no authority to remove names from ballots or to
25 determine who is eligible to be President, but five of them did just that as to Calero. He

was the official Socialist Workers Party candidate for President, but the party was forced
1 to remove his name and substitute that of James Harris in five states.
2
Is this just racism vs. Latin Americans or what?
3
McCain’s birth certificate proves he was born in Colon Hospital, city of Colon, Panama.
4 Colon is a big city in Panama and Colon Hospital was not part of any military
installation. Calero was born in Nicaragua.
