Obama's two Kenyan birth certificates managed and covered up with our tax money

By Coach Collins, on April 11th, 2012

By George Spelvin, staff writer

A blockbuster youtube.com video I have viewed (which has since been erased by persons unknown) presents evidence of two Kenyan birth certificates for Barack Hussein Obama. It also suggests at least $35 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars in stimulus funding (American Recovery & Reinvestment Act) in 2008 and 2009 were sent to Kenya in the guise of AIDS vaccine dollars in spite of the fact that Merck & Co. the maker of the drug being funded had halted clinical trials of MRK-Ad5 before the payments were made.

"To Pay Back My Homeys" is a red caption the video producer draped over documents showing The Kenyatta National Hospital, which was formerly King George VI Hospital, and 4 other Sub Saharan African hospitals received taxpayer dollars to "help train local scientists, technicians, and counselors at these facilities." What's more, the video shows a picture of Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius in front of a medical facility in Kenya, possibly his birth hospital, King George VI, now Kenyatta National Hospital!

Now the video producer shows how the puzzle of BHO having two Kenyan birth certificates can easily be explained. A science teacher, known only as Kitau, says, "The Birth Certificate is authentic. . by nature I am a skeptical person." The account goes on to say the mysterious Kitau, who now has disappeared, was born within one month of President Obama, and says, "I compared my birth certificate to the one put up by [Orly] Taitz (the Lucas Daniel Smith document) and mine is exactly the same. I even have the same registrar. .the type is identical."

The birth narrative of Obama is woven around the family going to a Muslim festival on a hot day at a Mombassa beach. When Obama's mother Stanley Ann Dunham Obama developed labor pains while in the surf, she was taken to Coast Provincial General Hospital a small facility near to the beach. She later was transferred to the much larger King George VI Hospital, now Kenyatta National.

That put her in the care of an Obama family friend, Dr. James O.W. Ang'awa. The Lucas Daniel Smith document shows Obama was born at 7:24 p.m. on August 4, 1961, and Dr. Ang'awa was the attending doctor. Ang'awa was a neighbor of Barack Obama, Sr. in a high end governmental housing complex known as South Hill, and worked at King George. His daughter is quoted in the video as forgiving the unknown assailant who struck and killed her father in a street attack by using a blunt object as the fortieth anniversary of the doctor's death approached.

Was part of the 2008 financial collapse and stimulus initiative used to funnel hard earned taxpayer dollars into the continent of our sitting President's birth to buy silence along with helping to fund R&D for disease control?

A video speaker asks why Barack Obama has spent "over $2.5 million dollars to cover up his records. Why indeed!" The American people deserve someone in some official capacity to step up to the plate here and find us answers NOW!!

Re: Volunteer Cops

"Sheriff" isn't this the way it was originally done??
---
The United States inherited England's Anglo-Saxon common law and its
system of social obligation, sheriffs, constables, watchmen, and
stipendiary justice. As both societies became less rural and agrarian
and more urban and industrialized, crime, riots, and other public
disturbances became more common. Yet Americans, like the English, were
wary of creating standing police forces. Among the first public police
forces established in colonial North America were the watchmen
organized in Boston in 1631 and in New Amsterdam (later New York City)
in 1647.

In 1789 the US Marshals Service was established, followed by other
federal services such as the US Parks Police and US Mint Police
(1792). The first city police services were established in
Philadelphia in 1751,[22] Richmond, Virginia in 1807,[23] Boston in
1838,[24] and New York in 1845. The US Secret Service was founded in
1865 and was for some time the main investigative body for the federal
government.[26]
A Deputy U.S. Marshal covers his fellow officers with an M4 carbine
during a "knock-and-announce" procedure

After the civil war, policing became more para-military in character,
with the increased use of uniforms and military ranks. Before this,
sheriff's offices had been non-uniformed organizations without a para-
military hierarchy.[

In recent years, in addition to federal, state, and local forces, some
special districts have been formed to provide extra police protection
in designated areas. These districts may be known as neighborhood
improvement districts, crime prevention districts, or security
districts.

In 2005, The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that police do
not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm.

Re: From Tammy Baldwin: Pass The Buffett Tax Rule, Join the Coalition

About 50% of Americans don't pay any tax... why should those that do
pay have to pay more to support those won't work?? Unless you are
elderly or disabled there should be no "public assistance".

Buffet neglects to tell you that his income is now derived from
investment income... he already paid taxes on that money at a 35% or
more rate... he is now paying ANOTHER 15-20% tax on top of that. This
is patently unfair... a tax that specifically targets people because
they are successful and hire others.. only to give it to idiots that
won't work...

Fwd: [NEWS] Another Reason to Abolish the Dept. of Homeland Security

Another Reason to Abolish the Dept. of Homeland Security

When you hear the words "Department of Homeland Security," you probably think of those lovely postal workers uniformed officers who whisk you quickly and smoothly through airport security. But you'd be wrong. Turns out DHS also sees itself as a civil rights agency with a mandate to save the planet from environmental catastrophe. In February DHS published a nine-page "Environmental Justice Strategy," which leads off with this explanation: Our Nation's vision of homeland security is a homeland safe and secure, resilient against terrorism and other hazards, and where American interests and aspirations and the .........

From Tammy Baldwin: Pass The Buffett Tax Rule, Join the Coalition

Dear Fellow Progressive,

Every day millions of Americans wake up facing a choice between making
a mortgage payment or saving for their kid's college fund. They're
dipping into their retirement funds to pay for necessities like
groceries and gas.

While middle class Americans struggle every day to make ends meet,
millionaires and billionaires game the system to pay a far lower tax
rate than families with a modest income.

But this Tax Day, we have an opportunity to change all that. I'm
standing with President Obama, and a coalition of tens of thousands of
progressive, grassroots activists who are calling for passage of the
Buffett Rule for Tax Fairness -- because its common sense.

Will you click here now and join our campaign for the Buffett Rule?

The Buffett Rule is named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett,
one of the richest people in the world. Having endorsed our plan, he
frequently notes how wrong it is that he pays a lower tax rate than
his secretary. And it's true -- many middle class families pay up to
double the rate paid by this billionaire.

Right now, the wealthiest one-tenth of the 1% benefit from their own
set of rules. But nobody should get to duck paying their fair share of
taxes just because they have an expensive accountant or know how to
work the system. It's not fair, and it's time to right this wrong --
you can help! Add your name next to Warren Buffett's on our petition
and join the call for tax fairness!

In the next few days, the Senate will vote on the Buffett Rule. We
must send a strong message to let everyone know just how committed we
are to leveling the playing field between the super-rich and middle
class families. For too long in America, there's been two tax systems:
one for the middle class and another for the very wealthiest. It's
time for everyone to start paying their fair share.

Please sign today!

Thanks for all you do,

Tammy Baldwin

SPEAKING GERMAN

--

In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large German-speaking population.
One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher's stock pond.
The rancher rolled down the window and shouted: "Sehr angenehm! Trink das Wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein geschissen."
Which means: "Glad to meet you! Don't drink the water. The cows have sh*t in it."
The man shouted back: "I'm from New York and just down here campaigning for Obama. I can't understand you. Please speak in English."
The rancher replied: "Use both hands."

Dr. Robert Spitzer retracts and rejects "ex-gay" conversion as impossible and harmful

Dr. Robert Spitzer retracts and rejects "ex-gay" conversion as
impossible and harmful

Folks, this is HUGE NEWS.

In a move that serves as a significant blow to "ex-gay" programs and
anti-gay organizations, Dr. Robert Spitzer repudiated his
much-criticized 2001 study that claimed some "highly motivated"
homosexuals could go from gay to straight. His retraction occurred in
an American Prospect magazine article that hit newsstands today.
Spitzer's rejection of his own research, which was originally
published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, is a devastating blow to
"ex-gay" organizations because it decisively eliminates their most
potent claim that homosexuality can be reversed through therapy and
prayer.

Dr. Spitzer's repudiation of his 2001 study is an earthquake that
severely undermines the validity of 'ex-gay' programs. Spitzer just
kicked out the final leg from the stool on which the proponents of
'ex-gay' therapy based their already shaky claims of success.

Spitzer's 2001 study was a surprise and created a media firestorm
because he had previously led the charge in 1972-73 to remove
homosexuality from the list of mental disorders in the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association. At
the time, this was a shocking story that captured the nation's
attention. Dr. Spitzer was the last person in America one would have
expected to produce a study bolstering the claims of 'ex-gay'
activists.

According to today's American Prospect article:

"In retrospect, I have to admit I think the critiques [of my study]
are largely correct," Dr. Spitzer told the American Prospect in an
article by Gabriel Arana titled, My So Called Ex-Gay Life. "The
findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone
ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more."

He said he spoke with the editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior
about writing a retraction, but the editor declined. (Repeated
attempts to contact the journal went unanswered.)

Spitzer said that he was proud of having been instrumental in removing
homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. Now 80 and retired,
he was afraid that the 2001 study would tarnish his legacy and perhaps
hurt others. He said that failed attempts to rid oneself of homosexual
attractions "can be quite harmful." He has, though, no doubts about
the 1973 fight over the classification of homosexuality.

"Had there been no Bob Spitzer, homosexuality would still have
eventually been removed from the list of psychiatric disorders," he
said. "But it wouldn't have happened in 1973."

Spitzer was growing tired and asked how many more questions I had.
Nothing, I responded, unless you have something to add. He did. Would
I print a retraction of his 2001 study, "So I don't have to worry
about it anymore"?

Dr. Spitzer's research was particularly harmful because he was the
only non-socially conservative scientist to produce a study claiming
some people could "pray away the gay."

"This man is an atheist, so he's not Bible thumping and doesn't have
an ax to grind," said Greg Quinlan, President of Parents and Friends
of Ex-Gays (PFOX), in an October 7, 2011 interview on NewsPlus with
Mark Segraves. "He just decided, let's talk about this ex-gay thing
and see if it's true. And he has concluded it can be true for people
who are highly motivated to change." PFOX currently has a video of Dr.
Spitzer on the front page of its website.

Virtually every anti-gay organization in the country quotes Dr.
Spitzer's work. (Here are a few examples) It will be an integrity test
to see which groups remove citations of his work in the coming week.
Those who continue to use his study to back their agenda are
deliberately misleading people and we intend to hold them accountable.

In our view, the Archives of Sexual Behavior should honor Dr.
Spitzer's wishes and retract his study. They have an ethical and moral
obligation to act as quickly as possible to right this terrible wrong
that has fueled anti-gay campaigns for more than a decade.

Not one mainstream organization of medical and mental health
professionals has found any evidence to support so-called "ex-gay"
therapy; in fact, the evidence they have found suggests that it can
actually be harmful to patients.

Obama, Romney campaigns turn attention to general election fight

Obama, Romney campaigns turn attention to general election fight
By Josh Lederman - 04/11/12 05:00 AM ET

The general election has begun for Mitt Romney and President Obama.

Rick Santorum's exit from the Republican presidential primary on
Tuesday cemented Romney's status as the GOP nominee, which the former
Massachusetts governor seemed to acknowledge.

"This has been a good day for me," he said at his first public
appearance Tuesday after Santorum left the race.

Obama, too, has seemed to drop all pretense about who he'll face in
November, referring to Romney by name for the first time earlier this
month.

Although Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul remain in the GOP primary, both
have scaled back their campaigns immensely, and Gingrich has
acknowledged that Romney's nomination is now essentially a fait
accompli.

But, despite the air of inevitability surrounding this match-up, both
Obama and Romney are beginning the general-election phase of the
campaign on new ground.

RELATED ARTICLES
Obama web ad hits Romney as 'severely' conservative
"Every poll done up to today about the presidential race is
irrelevant," said Dan Hazelwood, a Republican consultant. "All of
those were within the context of, 'He might be it, he might not be.'
The American people will now begin the process of truly evaluating
Romney and Obama in comparison to each other."

The shift from the primary to the general election was palpable in a
flurry of activity that erupted in the hours after Santorum called off
his campaign. Prominent Republican figures who had been reluctant to
pick sides in the primary — including Gov. Rick Scott (Fla.) and Sens.
Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) — all backed Romney after
Santorum exited the race. And Crossroads GPS, a deep-pocketed
conservative super-PAC founded by Karl Rove, announced it would drop
$1.7 million on television ads in six swing states slamming Obama on
energy issues.

Santorum didn't say Tuesday whether he would back Romney, but
Santorum's spokesman said Romney had already requested a meeting to
discuss an endorsement. A nod from the former Pennsylvania senator
could provide a major boon to Romney by reassuring dubious social
conservatives and allowing Romney and the GOP to present a united
front.

"I'm sure Gov. Romney will want his help in some form," said Henry
Barbour, an Republican National Committee committeeman and Romney
supporter, of Santorum. "He has a ton of upsides going forward, and he
resonates with a bunch of conservative Americans."

Even Obama's team seemed ready to acknowledge the end of the
hard-fought GOP primary that had given Democrats more time than they
had expected to entrench themselves for the general election.

"It's no surprise that Mitt Romney finally was able to grind down his
opponents under an avalanche of negative ads," Jim Messina, Obama's
campaign manager, said in a statement. "But neither he nor his special
interest allies will be able to buy the presidency with their negative
attacks."

Polling has showed that neither party has a firm grasp on control of
the key swing states, but Obama appears to have the advantage as the
general election gets underway. Obama led Romney 51 percent to 42 in a
USA Today/Gallup poll of 12 swing states released in early April.

Even before Santorum officially bowed out, the race between Romney and
Obama had been picking up speed. Obama's campaign launched their first
ads directly targeting Romney last week, and the president delivered a
major economic speech at a university in the crucial general-election
state of Florida on Tuesday where he lashed out at Republicans for
taking a slash-and-burn approach to federal spending.

Obama entered the gymnasium in Boca Raton, Fla. to chants of "four
more years," but as his motorcade arrived for his speech, he passed a
throng of protesters bearings signs reading "abolish the presidency"
and "abort Obama."

Romney too has had his sights trained on Obama for the past few weeks,
ignoring his Republican rivals on the campaign trail in favor of
attacks on Obama and dispatching surrogates to challenge the
president's record on taxes and women's interests.

But with the only other viable challenger out of the race, Romney and
his team are now free to focus exclusively on waging battle places
that will likely determine control of the White House come November.

"Where he went to campaign and where he spent his money was still
focused on the primary calendar. That can all shift now to the general
election," said Charlie Black, an informal Romney adviser and veteran
GOP strategist.

Black said Romney might need to follow through with some events in
upcoming primary states that had already been scheduled, but that the
emphasis moving forward would be on swing states. He said the campaign
was also focused on raising general-election funds in conjunction with
the RNC. Romney had events scheduled Wednesday in Connecticut and
Rhode Island — two states holding primaries on April 24.

The unofficial start of the general election also presented new
challenges for Romney, who has spent the past eight months assuaging
conservatives' doubts that he is a true believer.

Strategists said the moment is approaching when Romney will come under
increased scrutiny from the wide segment of the population that tuned
out the primary and is just now starting to pay attention to the
presidential race. With that comes a chance to redefine himself on
positive terms. But Democrats are lying in wait, ready to pounce on
any perceived duplicity as an example of a flip-flop by the former
Massachusetts governor.

"We fully expect Mitt Romney try and Etch-A-Sketch away his extreme
positions and failed record," said Democratic National Committee
spokeswoman Melanie Roussell, noting that Democrats had spent the past
year reminding voters that the policies Romney advocates have been
tried and failed. "We'll stick with what we're doing not just because
it's working – but because it happens to be the truth."

But if Romney moves to the center politically or focuses exclusively
on courting moderate and independent voters, he risks alienating his
party's base and undercutting GOP turnout in November.

"The immediate goal for him is to unify the Republican Party, to pull
all the elements of the GOP under one shield, and then move forward,"
said Craig Smith, a speechwriter in the Ford and first Bush
administrations. "He's got to do that."

Tony Perkins, a major evangelical leader who heads the Family Research
Council, said social conservatives are so averse to Obama that they
stand no chance of voting for him. But he said there are serious
doubts about whether Romney can generate the intensity and enthusiasm
necessary to topple an incumbent president.

"If he wants to have the type of support Rick Santorum enjoyed from
conservatives," Perkins said, "he needs to pick up Santorum's message
and work to aggressively shore up his base — or a base that he doesn't
have."

The Mainstream Media's Nightmare: Romney vs. What's His Name

The Mainstream Media's Nightmare: Romney vs. What's His Name
Gary North
April 11, 2012

From the day Ron Paul declared he was running, the mainstream media have had a problem: how to keep Paul's message from getting a hearing.

With a bunch of conservatives in the race, the media could safely focus on the conservative-of-the-month. But now Santorum has quit. It's down to three: Romney, Gingrich, and Paul.

How will the media spin this? How will they make it a race between Romney and Gingrich, with what's his name not mentioned?

Paul has money to spend. He will run TV ads. Here's one aimed at Texans.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WUO84t1H9Tg

If Gingrich is in second place in the primaries, that benefits the mainstream media. They can try to make it a two-horse race. But that tactic will be obvious. It will not work. The Web will not let them get away with anything like this.

If Paul beats Gingrich, the media will keep saying he should pull out of the race. Why should he? He is building his mailing list, primary by primary.

The media will hammer on this: Ron Paul is eccentric who cannot win. This raises a question: How come his campaign has money? How can he afford ton run those ads? How does an eccentric raise so much money?

With Gingrich still in the race, how can the networks not cover the race? Gingrich is just what the doctor ordered. He is there to give the media someone who must be covered. But if they cover him, they must cover Paul.

Conservatives now have a choice: Gingrich (hold your nose), Romney (the Establishment's candidate), and Paul (small government). The moment of decision has come. They will despair: "Has it come to this?" Yes, it has.

Ron Paul will have his podium from now on. He will keep hammering at the basic themes: too much spending, too much debt, and too much Bernanke.

The hard-core Ron Paul audience will grow. Those already on board will get even more hard core. At last, their views are being aired. At last, a national political representative is telling it like it is, has been, and is likely to be until the government goes belly-up.

This is what we have not seen in American history: a man with a consistent message of small government making his case in front of millions of voters. Not since Grover Cleveland in 1892 has anyone running for President been this hard core. But Grover Cleveland did not have YouTube.

Ron Paul is still in the race. He has not run out of money. The Establishment's nightmare has come true. He is no longer the unmentioned candidate.

If Romney loses in November, two words will haunt the Establishment: Rand Paul.

Two more words ought to: mailing lists. But the Establishment still has not figured out what email and Facebook can do . . . cheap.

Three more words ought to haunt them: grass roots mobilization.

And three more: "We'll be back!"

In December of 2007, David Rockefeller had not heard of Ron Paul. Now he has. So have millions of others. We have seen the education of David Rockefeller.
