“original 1961 typewritten birth certificate #10641 for Barack Obama, III [sic] issued 08.08.1961, signed by Dr. David Sinclair, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and registrar Lee, stored in the Health Department of the State of HI from 08081961 until now.”On April 27, 2011, the White House released what it claimed was a certified copy of Obama’s long-form birth certificate. Numerous document examiners, typesetting experts, and graphics consultants have come forward to state in formal presentations and reports that the image presented to the public is a poor forgery. There may also have been a violation of federal law – 2 U.S.C. §166(d)(1) – that the Congressional Research Service (CRS) perform its duties “without partisan bias.” From all appearances, the April 3, 2009 CRS “Jack Maskell Memorandum” (CRS Memo) addressing presidential eligibility, intentionally and substantively modified the language of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 at 330, in order to accomplish the result sought. The modification, through application of a grammatical ellipsis, seems clearly calculated to have made it appear that the Supreme Court has already strongly intimated, if not outright held, that if one is a “native born citizen,” then one is also a “natural born Citizen” under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution. Moreover, the ellipsis seems also calculated to allow the author of the memo, Maskell (and/or whomever else participated in its design and structure), to contend, in support of Obama’s purported constitutional eligibility, that the parents of the person involved in Elg were non-U.S. citizens, when in fact both parents were naturalized U.S. citizens before their daughter, Marie Elg, was born. Accordingly, not only are these CRS Memo assertions demonstrably wrong, they may also constitute criminal acts. In addition, those above Maskell in the CRS management hierarchy, if they knew of the problems, may also be implicated. As I wrote earlier, Attorney Leo Donofrio has documented evidence that Justia.com, the main resource on the web for all things related to United States Supreme Court holdings, has been censoring various references to Minor v. Happersett (1875), the Supreme Court case which proves that Obama is an illegal President. These are just a few snowflakes on the tip of the iceberg. There is no doubt in my mind that many of our political leaders and government officials are co-conspirators in the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people. To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards out of men. - Abraham Lincoln Congress is guilty as sin.
