A retired lieutenant general from the U.S. Air Force who commanded forces armed with nuclear weapons says the disclosure of Barack Obama’s documentation proving his eligibility to be commander in chief is critical not just to the defense of an officer challenging the president’s status, but to the preservation of the nation itself.
 The vehement statements came in an affidavit from retired Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney, a Fox News military analyst, that was disclosed today by an organization generating support for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin.
Lakin had invited his own court-martial because he is unable to follow orders under the chain of command with Obama at its head until and unless Obama’s eligibility is documented.
A hearing is scheduled in Lakin’s court-martial case Thursday at which a ruling is expected on defense requests for the very evidence that McInerney is citing.
The general, who retired in 1994 after serving as vice commander in chief of USAF forces in Europe, commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing and assistant vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, among other positions, said the chain of command issue is critical in today’s world, since officers are obligated both to follow orders and to disobey illegal orders.
“Officers in the United States military service are – and must be – trained that they owe their highest allegiance to the United States Constitution,” he said in the affidavit.
“There can be no question that it is absolutely essential to good order and discipline in the military that there be no break in the unified chain of command, from the lowliest E-1 up to and including the commander in chief who is under the Constitution, the president of the United States. As military officers, we owe our ultimate loyalty not to superior officers or even to the president, but rather, to the Constitution.”
He continued, explaining, “good order and disipline requires not blind obedience to all orders but instead requires officers to judge – sometimes under great adversity – whether an order is illegal.
“The president of the United States, as the commander in chief, is the source of all military authority,” he said. “The Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined.”
Lakin is being supported by the American Patriot Foundation, which said the affidavit is for use in Lakin’s trial, scheduled Oct. 13-15, as well as Thursday’s hearing on the evidence to be allowed in the case.
Officials said McInerney is the highest-ranking officer yet to lend public support to Lakin.
A recent poll showed that only about 4 in 10 Americans believe Obama’s story of being born in Hawaii, living in Indonesia and then returning to America.
McInerney’s affidavit “acknowledges widespread concerns over the president’s constitutional eligibility and demands the president release his birth records or the court authorize discovery,” the foundation said.
Lakin’s defense counsel has asked for the president’s school records as well as a deposition from the custodian of Obama’s birth records that may exist in the state of Hawaii.
The hearing is scheduled at 11 a.m. Thursday at Ft. Meade, Md., at the courthouse at 4432 Llewellyn Ave., inside the military base. The court is open to the public.

 Ever since Obama came out in favor of the Ground Zero Mosque the issue of his Muslim faith has bubbled over. The MSM is trying to mask it, the White House glossed it over with “I am a Christian statement” but regarding the facts, no one believes Obama is telling the truth. August has been a tough month for ZERO.. it is going to get tougher. The truth is like a sweltering “pussed sore” just itching to be lanced.
There was an article posted back in June which many are not aware of. In Obama’s own words he admitted he is a Muslim. Why do people tell the truth in secrecy to others? It’s because their conscience digs at them or their arrogance gets in the way. No matter which is Obama’s case, the truth always has a way of coming out:

“I am a Muslim,” Obama Tells Egyptian Foreign Minister Gheit.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, in which President Obama told him that he was still a Muslim:
Finally, during the week of 14-18th of January 2010, just on the eve of my winter tour to the US, Rachel picked up a Nile TV broadcast in which Egyptian Foreign Minister Abul Gheit said on the “Round Table Show” that he had had a one on one meeting with Obama who swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda. He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare), that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.

There you have it. Either the Egyptian Foreign Minister is lying or Obama needs to tell us more about the unusual Christian religion he is practicing these days. Either way, Obama is toast!

THE OBAMA REGIME STOKES THE FIRES OF 1776
When Barack Hussein Obama spoke from his “bully pulpit” and proclaimed that America was not a Christian nation, he stirred the ire of a country and provoked its citizens yet again with a lie so outrageous as to be beyond belief.
 At the end of the “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington on Saturday, many attendees left a little disappointed that they werenʼt told, where do we go from here? What was accomplished? Whatʼs the next step? When reading all the newspaper accounts of the event, people were further disillusioned with the negative reporting of the liberal media.
To many, the event itself was its own reward, and their faith in a good and loving God strengthened or restored. However, mostly we were there to show solidarity of a citizenry outraged at the destructive practices of a tyrannical government.
The “sleeping giant” is still in a coma despite reports that the TEA party movement has become a force to be reckoned with. Obama and his communist czars are perplexed as well with this phenomenon of a rag-tag collection of modern- day revolutionaries instilled with the spirit of our country’s founders ready to bear arms to protect life, property and our very liberties.
The “sleeping giant” is being deliberately prodded on a daily basis with outrageous actions by Obama and his “puppet masters” to get the giant to snap and create chaos and crisis to implement police and military action. No doubt Obama “got out of Dodge” to the safety of Martha’s Vineyard to watch a potential playing out of the plan they so persistently lay out with provocations. All the elements were there: mass numbers of white racists on one side and black militant marchers led by a race-baiting preacher on the other. If that wasn’t enough to start a crisis they could pounce upon, they stirred the pot by adding illegal alien pardons, back-door amnesty and reporting charges of human rights violations to the United Nations. And maybe for good measure allowing the Mexican government to put its soldiers on American soil to protect their illegal citizens from hate crimes in a New York borough.
Try as they might, nothing happened, and now their heads are spinning wondering what went wrong. They don’t get it now and they never will. This isn’t about anger at a black president. This is about Americans with honor in their hearts and a fierce desire to live our lives as free people. Glenn Beck provided the time and place for Americans to reaffirm their relationship with God, strengthen family ties and do what is right for America, and that is to take our country back from an out-of-control government that never errs of the side of decency.
There will be a million stories that come out of the Restoring Honor event, and unfortunately the liberally-biased ones will be most prominent. Two days later I still haven’t found one that tells the story I saw, so I’m writing it myself. I watched the rally from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial looking at the back of the jumbo-trons and stage rigging along with thousands of others. From our vantage point we could see the crowd stretching all the way to the Washington Monument. Although unable to see or hear the program, we were happy to be there and share a spirit of patriotism for our country and pride of knowing we are carrying the baton of liberty passed to us by our founding fathers as we prepare to pass it for our posterity.
The media has chosen to bill the Sharpton rally as the more significant of the two events aimed at honoring Dr. Martin Luther King but fails to convey what their message was, so here I am compelled to describe what I saw. And that was a group of angry blacks and a few whites screaming, “Justice now! Justice now!” while we stood scratching our collective heads and asking, “Justice for what?!” Their marchers assembled on a street behind police solo-bikes and amassed an estimated 200 or so protesters. They blocked access to people leaving the Beck rally, and even though they shouted ugly epithets, no one took the bait. We politely walked through their ranks saying no more than, “Excuse me” or “Can I get through?”
There was the incident where paramedics were working on a person prostrate on the ground surrounded by crowds unable to disperse because of barricades or more people when a mounted policeman angrily rode his horse into the crowd yelling, “Make a hole! Make a hole!” It was evident to those witnessing this that the cop was not happy to be there. Was he having a bad day and taking it out on his horse by kicking him and jerking the bit around in his mouth or just being among people he didn’t like? His actions were entirely unnecessary and worthy of discipline. He wasn’t even needed – the paramedics were already there.
Other stories relate disappointments such as that it got boring or that Beck didn’t deliver. They were expecting a miracle or a revelation that Obamaʼs hidden records have been revealed and impeachment processes have begun or LTC Lakin was a surprise guest on the agenda and we could all unite in support and move forward with a cohesive plan to fight his court-martial and get discovery of documents for his defense. None of these things happened, and although Beck continues to gather followers, he continually loses those of us who recognize how he falls pathetically short of having the courage to bring up the question of eligibility.
As I stood on the steps of the memorial and looked out over the hundreds of thousands of people, I witnessed something extraordinary. I wasn’t quick enough to capture it on my camera but it’s etched indelibly in my mind’s eye, a v-formation of geese flying long and low over the reflecting pool from the stage toward the Washington Monument. Not a miracle by a long shot but a symbol of hope and direction.
The miracle happened but it was so subtle as to go almost unnoticed by most. I saw it, though, and that’s why I had to write my story. Glenn Beck’s rally exposed Obama’s most outrageous lie. A million people came together and proved we are a Christian nation.

PRESS RELEASE

THREE-STAR GENERAL FILES SWORN AFFIDAVIT SUPPORTING LTC LAKIN’S CASE
JUDGE TO RULE THURSDAY ON DEFENSE REQUEST FOR DEPOSITION OF HAWAIIAN OFFICIALS AND FOR WRITTEN DISCOVERY OF ALL OF PRESIDENT’S SCHOOL AND COLLEGE RECORDS
Hearing set for Sept 2 at 1100 at Fort Meade, Maryland
Washington, D.C., August 31, 2010. Retired Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney has supplied an affidavit in support of Army Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, who faces trial on October 13-15. The retired Air Force three-star is the highest ranking officer yet to lend public support to LTC Lakin. His affidavit acknowledges widespread concerns over the President’s Constitutional eligibility and demands the President release his birth records or the court authorize discovery.
 McInerney’s sworn affidavit was filed in Court-Martial in support of Lakin’s motions for subpoenas for all of the president’s school records, and for a deposition of the custodian of Obama’s birth records in the possession of the State of Hawaii. The Judge has set a hearing in the Court Martial on these motions for this coming Thursday, September 2nd at 11:00 at Ft. Meade, Maryland. All court proceedings are open to the public. The courthouse is located within Ft. Meade at 4432 Llewellyn Avenue, which is on the corner of Llewellyn and Ernie Pyle Road. At the first intersection after the Reece Road gate, you should turn left on to Ernie Pyle Road. The courthouse is approximately 1 mile south of the intersection of Reece Road and Ernie Pyle Road.
LTC Lakin is a physician, and is in his 18th year of service in the Army. He is Board Certified in Family Medicine and Occupational and Environmental Medicine. He has been recognized for his outstanding service as a flight surgeon for year-long tours in Honduras, Bosnia and Afghanistan. He was also awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Afghanistan and recognized in 2005 as one of the Army Medical Department’s outstanding flight surgeons. In March of this year, he announced in a video posted on YouTube that he would refuse to obey orders until receiving proof of the President’s eligibility. So far, more than 225,000 people have viewed that video.
The President of the United States, as the Commander in Chief, is the source of all military authority. The Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined.
As a practical example from my background I recall commanding forces that were equipped with nuclear weapons. In my command capacity I was responsible that personnel with access to these weapons had an unwavering and absolute confidence in the unified chain of command, because such confidence was absolutely essential– vital– in the event the use of those weapons was authorized. I cannot overstate how imperative it is to train such personnel to have confidence in the unified chain of command. Today, because of the widespread and legitimate concerns that the President is constitutionally ineligible to hold office, I fear what would happen should such a crisis occur today.
In refusing to obey orders because of his doubts as to their legality, LTC Lakin has acted exactly as proper training dictates. That training mandates that he determine in his own conscience that an order is legal before obeying it…Indeed, he has publicly stated that he “invites” his own court martial, and were I the Convening Authority, I would have acceded to his wishes in that regard. But thus stepping up the bar, LTC Lakin is demonstrating the courage of his convictions and his bravery. That said, it is equally essential that he be allowed access to the evidence that will prove whether he made the correct decision.
McInerney’s affidavit can be viewed at www.safeguardourconstitution.com. The following are extracts:
For the foregoing reasons, it is my opinion that LTC Lakin’s request for discovery relating to the President’s birth records in Hawaii is absolutely essential to determining not merely his guilt or innocence but to reassuring all military personnel once and for all for this President whether his service as Commander in Chief is Constitutionally proper. He is the one single person in the Chain of Command that the Constitution demands proof of natural born citizenship. This determination is fundamental to our Republic, where civilian control over the military is the rule. According to our Constitution, the Commander in Chief must now, in the face of serious– and widely held– concerns that he is ineligible, either voluntarily establish his eligibility by authorizing release of his birth records or this court must authorize their discovery. The invasion of his privacy in these records is utterly trivial compared to the issues at stake here. Our military MUST have confidence their Commander in Chief lawfully holds this office and absent which confidence grievous consequences may ensue.
Lakin is represented by military counsel, and by Paul Rolf Jensen, a civilian attorney from California who has been provided to him by the American Patriot Foundation, a non-profit group incorporated in 2003 to foster appreciation and respect for the U.S. Constitution, which has established a fund for Lakin’s legal defense. Further details are available on the Foundation’s website, www.safeguardourconstitution.com.

Comment by American Grand Jury:
This is HUGE! For a high-ranking officer with such a commendable background as Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney to inform the Court by sworn affidavit that he wants to see justice served places a lot of pressure on the Military Court to get it right. If the Court complies we have a ballgame — if they bury it with politics this could absolutely “polarize” the military and its leadership for years to come.
My gut opinion: I think the timing is right. I believe the “real” Military, the fighting men and women, including the leadership behind the scenes in the trenches, are sick of this “puke” in office lying to the world. They all suspect Obama is a “Commander-in-THIEF” and they want something done about it. This has to come from the bottom up. The brass at the top in the Pentagon are politicians — they are in the Obama camp right now, but like any politician, they will go the way of the wind as public opinion changes. Obama is on shaky ground here. If the “eligibility” door gets opened Obama will fall so fast it will make your head swim.

Judge in Norfolk denies request in Blackwater case 18 Aug 2010 The federal government doesn’t have to turn over thousands of pages of documents related to the war in Afghanistan that could potentially help bolster the self-defense claim of two former Blackwater contractors mercenaries in their murder trial, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Robert G. Doumar called the request "too ridiculously broad" and added that the defendants’ lawyers had not shown any direct connection between the information requested and their clients. The government argued that most of the information sought is in the public domain.

Sarah Palin Attacked by "Mama Grizzlies" from EMILY’S List 18 Aug 2010 Pro-abortion choice rights group EMILY’S List is today launching a campaign suggesting that America’s so-called "Mama Grizzlies" – a phrase coined by Sarah Palin to describe her supporters – don’t all come from Palin’s side of the political spectrum. The group, which focuses on getting candidates who support abortion rights elected, has put out a web video and is pushing a campaign called "Sarah Doesn’t Speak for Me" meant to appeal to Democrats, independents and "moderate Republicans who have no home." The video shows women dressed in bear costumes talking about how their "cubs" are threatened by the agenda of Palin and the candidates she supports, and discuss the possibility of losing health care coverage, abortion rights and unemployment benefits.

The right’s latest weapon: ‘Zionist editing’ on Wikipedia 18 Aug 2010 For years now, Wikipedia has been a fierce battleground between the Israeli right and left. One key battle was over the entry for Bil’in and whether the weekly struggle at that village near the security fence should be described as violent… Now the Yesha Council of settlements and another right-wing group, Israel Sheli, are embarking on a Wikipedia battle: Zionist editing on the Web-based encyclopedia. The first course was held yesterday in Jerusalem. "The idea is not to make Wikipedia rightist but for it to include our point of view," said Naftali Bennett, the director of the Yesha Council.

Feds: Alaska couple had 20 names on hit list 16 Aug 2010 A rural Alaska couple accused of domestic terrorism compiled a hit list of 20 targets, including members of the military and media, and had moved to the operational phase of their plan, according to documents filed in federal court Monday. Paul and Nadia Rockwood of King Salmon have pleaded guilty to lying about the list and making false statements to the FBI in May. Under a plea agreement, Paul Rockwood will serve eight years in prison and three years probation while his pregnant wife will serve probation. Rockwood’s public defender claims her client was lonely in King Salmon and befriended an undercover Alaska State Trooper while attending mosque during trips to Anchorage. "The relationship clearly was fed by the trooper’s interest in Mr. Rockwood and the drama created by their conversations," his attorney, Sue Ellen Tatter, wrote in her sentencing memo.

Blagojevich, the ousted former governor of Illinois, was convicted on Tuesday of making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but the jury in the corruption case against him also reported that it was hopelessly deadlocked on the 23 other counts against him. The jury’s findings, which came on the 14th day of deliberations, were seen as a victory for Mr. Blagojevich and his defense team and a significant setback for federal authorities, who arrested Mr. Blagojevich almost two years ago to stop what they described unambiguously as “a political corruption crime spree,” including attempts to sell the appointment to fill the Senate seat once held by Barack Obama.

Israel has ’8 days’ to hit Iran nuclear site: Bolton 17 Aug 2010 Israel has "eight days" to launch a military strike against Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility and stop Tehran from acquiring a functioning atomic plant, a former US [Bush] envoy to the UN has said. Iran is to bring online its first nuclear power reactor, built with Russia’s help, on August 21, when a shipment of nuclear fuel will be loaded into the plant’s core. At that point, John Bolton warned Monday, it will be too late for Israel to launch a military strike against the facility because any attack would spread radiation and affect Iranian civilians.

Weapons instruction and physical training began on Monday for hundreds at military bases in Bolivia’s east, a stronghold of the pro-business opposition, and army officials said it would extend to all bases. The program is reminiscent of one that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched in his country after a failed 2002 coup attempt that he blamed on was executed by the United States.

Sen.

The office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada issued a statement saying, "The First Amendment protects freedom of religion. Senator Reid respects that, but thinks that the mosque should be built some place else." Reid’s comments came just days after Obama told a White House gathering that Muslims had a right to build the mosque, and Republicans vowed to make the president’s stand an issue in the November elections. [Yes, go run under the couch and hide, Reid. People would rather vote for candidates who advocate 'Second Amendment remedies' than cowardly, pathetic, sycophantic trolls. No, I'm not a Sharron Angle advocate - save your emails. I am merely making the point that people would rather stand with those who don't cower in the face of GOP-owned-and-driven media hysteria. --LRP]

Iraq plunges into darkness and fuel queues make comeback 14 Aug 2010 Iraq’s national grid is out and millions of Iraqis are without electricity amid scorching heat. Iraqi provinces, apart from the three Kurdish provinces in the north, have plunged into darkness. The reason, according to the Electricity Ministry, is excessive use of electricity. The ministry says many provinces have been ‘encroaching’ on the national grid, using more megawatts than their ‘legal’ allocations. [Isn't this the same electric grid that the US taxpayers have funded and refunded about 600 times as part of the contractors' stimulus in Iraq?]

Best of the Web: Pro-Zionist Alex Jones Banishes Mike Rivero
Kenny’s Sideshow
Sun, 01 Aug 2010 09:35 EDT
Alex Jones, guest contributor for Fox News’s Kooky Konspiracy Korner
Jones and his handlers decide Michael Rivero must go. Not only from the Jones radio sideshow but from the GCN network as well. AJ waves his ‘magic’ zionist flag and makes things disappear.
Announcement from Mike …
"I have just been informed by the Alex Jones show that they are canceling my monthly interviews commencing this coming Tuesday. Imagine my shock and disappointment. No, really, just imagine it!"
A little more info from Mike …
"I have not made a big deal about the reasons for the move, but in a nutshell, GCN is a reflection of Alex Jones’ views of the world, and more and more our points of view regarding Israel are diverging. I get a lot of email asking why I do not challenge Alex on his defense of Israel, or asking why every time I am on his show Alex feels obligated to have a pro-Israel representative on immediately afterwards to counter the points that I made.
I view the attack by Israel on a US flagged ship and Americans in international waters as an act of war and all who defend said attack as traitors to the USA. Alex holds a different view and I guess the breaking point was his rant in which he said that anyone who is a critic of Israel is a "weak-minded fool". That made it a personal attack, and I decided it was time to step out of Alex’s shadow and go in a different direction."

Dark Minds: When does incredulity become paranoia, Psychology Today
There is a disinformation program literally for everyone. No matter who you are – what your interests are, what your beliefs are, which way you’re focusing – there is a website set up just for you to take you in and to vector your thinking and your attention into thinking the way that they want you to think.
¬ Laura Knight-Jadczyk
A recent article in Salon is another in a series of pieces that draws attention to the rantings of Alex Jones, through his web TV show and websites, infowars and prisionplanet. Psychology Today‘s September edition (pictured left) also fans the flames, it is entitled Dark Minds: When does incredulity become paranoia. With Alex Jones the centerpiece, it makes the case that those seeking the truth are essentially a product of mental instability, by elevating him to ‘Conspiracy King’ status and associating his readers as mentally ill.
In a similar vein, the Salon article presents a parent’s concern that their son had become sucked into "the Internet conspiracy black hole created by some guy named Alex Jones." The request for help to guide their nephew "away from this cultish fear-monger" is met with this advice:
"I do not want to conclude without making explicit that if he has dyslexia or some kind of attention-deficit disorder, those are things that should be diagnosed and treated on their own. If his mother’s coddling has prevented him from facing up to these possible problems, that could be adding to his anxiety. So I would definitely, in addition to the camping trip, or wilderness expedition, do what you can to bring to light any organic, diagnosable and treatable conditions he may have."
In both of these articles we have the suggestion that: Alternative views to the mainstream media found on the internet have been created and led by Alex Jones; and people who are attracted to these views have some form of learning difficulty or psychological disorder.

They saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb and going to Judea. [Jesus] said to his disciples, "Why is he carrying the lamb around?" They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it." He said to them, "He will not eat it while it is alive, but only after it has been killed and has become a carcass." They said, "it cannot happen any other way." He said to them, "So also with you: seek a place of rest for yourselves, that you may not become a carcass and be eaten."
~ Gospel of Thomas
Lately there’s been a lot of "rah rah" activity among the "Reopen 911" folks; at the same time, there’s been a whole lot of infighting and flaming. Gerard Holmgren and Rosalee Grable AKA Webfairy, are insisting that there were no planes at ALL involved in 911 – that it was all manufactured imagery via various technologies – and at the same time, they and a coterie of their fans (fan is short for fanatic) are going after Prof. Steven Jones because he is not giving them full credit for coming up with the idea that the World Trade Center Towers (and Building 7) were brought down by Controlled Demolition. The reason I know about all this is because somehow, I got included on a list of 911 people a couple of weeks ago (it started with a debate being promoted by APFN, I believe and, like Topsy, just "grew and grew"), and at a certain point, I just could no longer keep silent at the nonsense that was flying back and forth, being passed off as logic and reason. So, I stuck my foot in it.

SOTT Focus: Beware Julian Assange and Wikileaks – Darlings Of The Mainstream Media

Mainstream Media darling – Julian Assange
A friend recently asked me what I thought of the wikileaks business. The person said that they were still a little idealistic, and perhaps there are still some "good guys" out there who can really make a difference. I wondered, in terms of the wikileaks documents, precisely what kind of change could be hoped for? After all, we are talking about documents that describe US military activity in Afghanistan, in all their gory and criminal details. I presumed then that the difference that so many are hoping that the wikileaks documents (and their purveyor, Julian Assange) will make, is nothing less than the halting of the American Empire’s unholy crusade across the Middle East and S.E. Asia. Now that would be nice!
My friend correctly noted that we are talking about war crimes here – the exposure of the dirty details of the illegal US occupation of Afghanistan and the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Now that Assange had made it safely into the arms of the mainstream media, surely there is a chance that this evidence could effect a mass awakening among the world public who might yet stand up and take down the evil doers.
