A Conspiracy Theory Writ Large.

One can appreciate conspiracy theorists and their often as not off-the-wall ideas without being oneself a conspiracy theorist. Belief in off-the-wall ideas seems to represent either the product of a great deal of time and focused effort on the part of a maverick personality, or the final proof of extreme gullibility on the part of a simple mind. In neither case is a theory certain to be incorrect solely for its tainted authorship. Nor are theories proposed by conventional scientific or professional persons of unimpeachable character and reference certain to be correct. Theories require proof. The famous final theorem of Pierre de Fermat went without proof until twenty years ago and serves as an exception to this rule. So, what would be the biggest conspiracy theories of all time, the seven wonders of the world of conspiracy theory? I propose that the number one such wacko theory is that our current president of the United States of America is not a citizen of the USA. (And, as though the proposed could be made any worse, the au courant theory adds that, even though he is a lawyer who was either a professor of constitutional law at a prominent law school or was one who taught classes in constitutional law at that law school, our president ran for the highest office in the land knowing full well that he was not eligible for the office he sought.)

To the end of establishing proof of the number one conspiracy theory of modern times--that our incumbent president of the United States of America is not eligible for the office--comes now Philip J. Berg, Esquire, presenting the following:

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution, states in particular part, "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 eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been Fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." Furthermore, all Presidents since and including Martin Van Buren were born in the United States subsequent to the Declaration of Independence. "The general doctrine of our Constitution is that the executive power of the nation is vested in the President subject only to the exceptions and qualifications, which are expressed in the instrument."

Obama is a representative of the Democratic People. However, Obama must meet the Qualifications specified for the United States Office of the President, which is he must be a "natural born" citizen. {Italics are mine, Nec Pluribus Unum.}Unfortunately, Obama is not a "natural born" citizen. Just to name one of the problems, Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian citizen and relocated herself and Obama to Indonesia wherein Obama's mother naturalized in Indonesia and Obama followed her naturalization, as he was a minor and in the custody of his mother. Obama failed to take the oath of allegiance when he turned eighteen (18) years to regain his United States Citizenship status.
The Democratic National Committee is for Plaintiff and "We the People" who believe in the Democratic Vision. The Democratic National Party is supposed to represent the Democratic Americans in seeking honest leadership, Open Government, Real Security, Energy Independence, Economic Prosperity, Educational Excellence, a Healthcare System that works for Everyone and Retirement Security. The Democratic Party is supposed to represent and protect the interests of working Americans and guaranteeing personal liberties for all. Of which includes securing a Democratic Nominee on the Presidential Election ballot who represents the Democratic vision and who is qualified and eligible to run for Office of the President under the qualifications of the United States Constitution.
The actions of Obama, a U.S. Senator, in running for President of the United States, knowing he is not eligible, have been taken entirely without authorization under the United States Constitution, completely ignoring the qualification and procedures created by the United States Constitution he is purporting to enforce.

I checked on Lawyer Berg and found people in Philadelphia who say he is not a nut case.

There are three people in Kenya who say the President was born in Kenya and that they witnessed that birth. No one says he witnessed Obama's birth in Hawaii even though there are several hospitals in Hawaii saying he was born in their facility. This surely sounds irregular. More than one birth certificate should mandate an investigation when the one on the certificates is the leader of the free world and the most powerful man on earth. Who were the delivering doctors and nurses in assistance for the delivery? Has anyone bothered to check this out? It should not be prohibitively difficult to find out what air connections Stanley Dunham used to fly from Hawaii to Kenya and back. If she had been refused boarding because her pregnancy was too advanced, someone had to have witnessed that and the argument that surely ensued. It is not inconceivable that a witness is still alive today, one who remembers Obama's mother having been refused a flight to Hawaii and her having been left in Kenya to deliver the baby there--it is the sort of human drama that tends to create a durable memory. Particularly long lived in those who refused the mother-to-be.

No doubt an African delivery would have been assisted by a doctor or nurse, as I doubt she was living at the time in a mud hut in the bush. It would likely have occurred in a clinic or hospital. But irrespective of which was the setting there must have been witnesses. And there are the three already on record as to the truth of this having happened in Kenya and not in Hawaii. There is little doubt that Stanley Dunham would have returned to Hawaii as soon after having delivered her baby as she was physically able to travel. In fact, she would most likely have used the same ticket that she attempted to use, in the line of reasoning of the conspiracy theory, before delivery when she was refused boarding for the imminence of her baby's birth. In this way she would have returned to the USA within a week of the live birth of her baby boy at which point she would have then registered the live birth as having occurred--her choice: honest, in Kenya or dishonest, in the USA. Apparently she registered the birth as having occurred in the USA. (She was a second or third wife of the muslim Obama and was probably not received by the extended family in Kenya with open arms. And it must have been about that time that she decided to leave her husband--we do not know if that had been a duly consecrated marriage--and return to the USA for at least a while.) And all of this suggests to me that the off-the-wall theory or claim might have enough merit to check it out.

The case gets worse yet when one looks at the young Obama and his early life with his Indonesian step father who was also a Muslim and who apparently saw to the proper Muslim identification and education of his adopted son. This situation also disqualifies Obama from the presidency for the fact that mother and son would have shared Indonesian citizenship in those years.

Obama could have opted for US citizenship anytime between the Indonesian years and his eighteenth birthday, at least as some would interpret this situation. But clearly he did not. In fact he first received a US passport when he was elected to office in Illinois. But he travelled to Pakistan and neighboring countries long before that, apparently on an Indonesian passport.

There are some other irregularities such as how much of his mother's life was spent in US territories before a certain age and, again, the answer comes up short for Obama's US citizenship.

None of this should be believable given the scrutiny of candidates for even lowly elected office in our country. Certainly, any candidate for elected office whose party affiliation is Republican would have had all of this sort of irregularity very carefully investigated. But even a Democrat running for office ought to have at least a cursory back round check by the parties and the press. Yet do you believe that candidate Obama was suitably scrutinized by a functioning fourth estate? You tell me if you think the New York Times, NBC, ABC, Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd, and their ilk vetted this candidate during the months leading up to the federal election. I have heard nothing of this controversy of our president's citizenship even on Fox News. Are Hannity, O'Reilly, and Beck afraid of something? Hard to imagine those three being afraid to check out a presidential candidate, much less one who has succeeded to the office. Or is this such a crack-pot theory that it deserves complete silence on the part of all orthodox news outlets? I wish someone would report on this Conspiracy Writ Large as I think it is number one in the list of the top ten conspiracy theories of modern time.
