OT: Military Officer Refuses Order from Obama

[partypup]

I’m compelled to post this because of the implications. I think they are potentially huge.

“Obama birth certificate deniers won a small victory in court on Monday. Meanwhile, one such conspiracy theorist refused to deploy to Afghanistan on the grounds that Barack Obama isn’t a legitimate president.

A judge said he would listen to “the merits” of Alan Keyes’ case challenging Obama’s presidency. While a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office said the move was merely procedural, birth conspiracy proponents are encouraged.”

I love how an Army Major is now dubbed a “conspiracy theorist”. Hilarious! But notice what they don’t mention: the military actually rescinded the order rather than address the matter. This omission is telling and significant, and we have to reach beyond the Huff Post to get the truth:

“His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders.

“We won! We won before we even arrived,” she said with excitement. “It means that the military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate – and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the order!”

She continued, “They just said, ‘Order revoked.’ No explanation. No reasons – just revoked.”

“Taitz said she will attend the hearing to amend the temporary restraining order to an injunction because MORE members of the military have joined the cause.

Now, I’m curious why the military would rescind orders to a Major (not a colonel or a General, by the way) rather than deal with this issue…? It doesn’t really matter, because now the cat is out of the bag, and it is starting to hiss.

Think about it: Bush was a de facto “selected” (not elected) president, and that fraud had two terms in office. But the difference here is that the military never revoked any deployment orders under Bush because of questions about his illegitimate presidency – even when he was doing whack things like sending troops to war for no reason. This situation now is different, because for whatever reason the military is not willing to simply accept Obama’s legitimacy because he won and he’s sitting in the Oval Office. We’ve never faced a situation like this before. It would appear to me that the situation in the U.S. just became much more dangerous and unpredictable because, with this case, the mask is off.

Ask yourself: what’s to stop tens of thousands of military personnel from obtaining the exact same outcome as Major Stefan Cook? Not much, apparently. And where will that lead? The military either has to (a) deal with the issue (something civilian courts have refused to do because everyone except Obama apparently lacks standing) or (b) risk scattered revolts popping up in their ranks. Very dicey. Oh, and all this as our country is dealing with a collapsing economy and power plays for resources by Russia and China – who actually have more money than we do to continue to fund their military enterprises.

I remember discussing this issue with a colleague last year. He kept insisting that the birth certificate issue should be dropped and that people need to just “get over it” because Obama was going to win, anyway. I told him that wasn’t the point. The point was that we needed closure on this issue – because if it just sits and festers, especially as the economy continues to nosedive – people will be looking for reasons to blame and targets to hit. I knew that whoever ended up in the White House in 2010 was going to need as much support from the rank and file as they can possibly get.

But apparently the power brokers in this country like to push every awkward question or inconvenient truth off into the future – until it becomes a problem. This is how we’ve ended up with the albatross of debt around our necks, and now they’ve done it again with Obama’s birth certificate. Oh, well. Our new president has got a failed stimulus, a collapsing economy, diving poll numbers and a feisty military asking uncomfortable questions.

Maybe next time people will think more carefully and ask more questions before they skip to the ballot box with their Kool Aid.

It’s going to be an interesting Fall.

What you didn’t quote from the article:

Because he’s a reserve soldier who volunteered for an active duty tour he can “ask for a revocation of orders up until the day he is scheduled to report for active duty,” a public affairs officer explained. Cook volunteered for the tour in May of this year. It is not clear why he did so, considering his current objections.

Doesn’t seem like such a big deal. There won’t be tens of thousands of reservists volunteering for active duty only to ask for a revocation prior to deploying because they don’t believe Obama is not legit. I’m surprised you came to that conclusion. Scattered revolts? Where are you getting this? You’re a lawyer, right?

You gotta wonder, if there was REALLY any question about Obama’s birth, why the Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts violated his oath of office and swore in TWICE an illegitimate President?

This is much like “the Clinton’s Murdered several people”.

Even though Republicans were constantly going after the Clinton’s they never came up with any evidence.

Why don’t Republican Senators or Congressmen go after this issue? You gotta wonder why Roberts and the Republicans in Congress are involved in this crime. Could it be there is no crime?
