Questions Surrounding the Constitutional Eligibility
Of Barack Obama Heats Up

Is something big about to break in the Obama birth certificate story?

The questions surrounding the constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as U.S. president continue. After abating a bit immediately prior and after the election two weeks ago, more information has surfaced which has returned the issue to the blogosphere.

The Mainstream Media not only blacked out the issue after June 2008, they actually contributed to the Obama's campaign effort to cast anyone with questions about Obama and the many missing pieces of his past as "smear merchants" and "rumor-mongers".

Three items, in particular, have caught our attention:

World Net Daily has really ramped up their coverage of the Obama birth certificate issue today. WND's front page contains almost nothing else but stories on the matter. Such as:
* Rathergate II: Certification of Live Birth a clear forgery
* Proofin' the prez: Who's in charge? Constitutional lawyer says electors have duty to investigate citizenship
* Obama's birthplace heats up Liddy show
* Is he or isn't he? The debate over Obama's eligibility

World Net Daily is the home to Dr. Jerome Corsi, author of Obama Nation, and a visitor to Kenya who was ejected from the country quickly upon arriving weeks ago.

Does World Net Daily have something that it is about to break on this story?

We don't know. But we notice things.
The Kenyan Ambassador.

Earlier today we provided a link to a video of the Kenyan ambassador stating that Barack Obama's birthplace in Kenya is already getting plenty of visitors since he became president. [MORNING INTELL: Kenya, Iran, Israel, PC Nazis, Natalie Holloway]

This slip--or not--of the tongue, combined with Justice Clarence Thomas' conference scheduled for December 5 on Denofrio v. Wells, has added fuel to the Obama citizenship fire. [Obama Birth Certificate, Citizenship: SCOTUS Conference Scheduled for Dec 5]

Today, WND published another article claiming to debunk the Certificate of Live Birth which the Obama campaign featured on its fightthesmears.com site. [Rathergate II: Certification of Live Birth a clear forgery] From the WND piece by Janet Porter:

It's Rathergate all over again with more amiss than a 1970s Selectric typewriter. But before I tell you what the experts found, let me ask you a few questions:

1. If you were a natural born American citizen and had it within your means to quiet all the lawsuits and questions with proof, would you do it?

2. If you were a natural born American citizen, would you spend thousands of dollars to fight the legal cases against you, or would you simply answer the legitimate question of whether you meet the constitutional requirements for office?

3. If you were a natural born American citizen, would you forge a document called a "Certification of Live Birth" and tell the public it was a real "birth certificate"?

If someone were to violate the law by manufacturing a forgery in order trick the public, would that be enough evidence for members of Congress to conduct hearings and for a court to issue an order for the critical records, including the original long-form birth certificate (signed by the doctor) to ensure that the U.S. constitutional requirements for office were not violated? After all, Congress is sworn to uphold and defend that Constitution, and the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court are "guardians" of the Constitution. That's their job, isn't it?

These are much the same questions that others, as well as DBKP, have been asking. In fact, in Obama Birth Certificate Federal Lawsuit: The Curious Behavior of the Obama Campaign, we observed:
Quiz time for DBKP readers.

Let's say you're a Democrat and let's say you're running for president of the United States.

You're a likable guy and are doing well--the New York Times and AP think you're peachy--but there have been whispers of whether or not you are constitutionally qualified.

A prominent Democrat files suit in Federal court asking you to provide proof, to settle the matter once and for all.

What do you do?
- A. Provide the court with the three documents in question and go back to shaking hands, making promises and smiling for the cameras.
- B. Provide images of one of the documents to a friendly website to post, but not to the court.
- C. Ignore the request, then make a motion to dismiss the case, in lieu of providing the proof.
- D. In the meantime, quietly, post a notice at your website, FighttheSmears.com that you had dual citizenship with Kenya.
- E. Hire the top gun attorney from the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to fight the case.
- F. File a Joint Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery Pending a Decision on the Motion to Dismiss (which was) filed on 09/24/08, thereby putting the matter off until--hopefully--after the election.
Time's up. What do you do?

Most readers sensibly chose A.

But, if you're Barack Obama, you chose answers B, C, D, E and F.

A curious response for a campaign interested in "fighting the smears".
Suffice it to say: not everyone bought into the Certificate of Live Birth explanation by the campaign. But more proof was needed because Obama wasn't allowing anyone to see his original "vault" copy of his birth certificate for some unknown reason.
African Press International is preparing for, what they claim will be the airing of the Michelle Obama phone conversation that they claimed they had with her on October 15.

API claims that Ms. Obama raises citizenship issues with the African Press International correspondent on the phone call. The release and airing of the audio tape of that phone call is reported to be imminent.

We could write much about the API situation, but will hold off a while longer.

But perhaps, not too much longer.

We've given our reasons for holding out the belief that African Press International's version of the Michelle Obama phone call was true. The reasons are outlined in several of the links below.

ALSO at DBKP:
African Press International and Michelle Obama

* African Press International, Michelle Obama Tapes: Fox News Denies Story
* African Press International, Michelle Obama: API Says Discussions with Fox News Are Happening
* African Press International, Michelle Obama Phone Call: Tapes Released Later Today
* Michelle Obama Calls African News Organization Over Obama Birth Certificate Reporting - UPDATED
* African Press International, Michelle Obama: Editor Says He Has Audio Tape of Conversation
* African Press International: Open Letter to Michelle Obama from API Chief Editor

So what's the scoop? Why all of the attention all of a sudden on the Obama birth certificate--especially from World Net Daily, which has had the resources to pursue the story.

WND also has had something going for it in this story that the MSM didn't: the desire to to uncover the truth.

Is something big going to break in this story in the next 24-48 hours?

We do not know for sure. But we do notice things.

We have continued--even after African Press International didn't air their tapes previously--to follow and monitor the story. We still have many nagging doubts over an issue that could be settled quite quickly and easily: the release of the original Obama birth certificate.

But it hasn't been.

Like World Net Daily, we've remained suspicious and quietly pursued whatever leads we had. Many were dead ends. Some remain promising.

We try to verify everything we report. When something is a rumor, we report it. When we have access to information that we can't publish, but feel we're on the right trail, we'll report it to the best of our ability.

If we report something and the source turns out to be a false one, we'll report that also.

We respect our readers' ability to make judgments for themselves. Some will agree, some will disagree.

That's called a discussion and it's healthy.

It's also something not often found in the MSM.

Is something big going to break in the Obama birth certificate story in the next 24-48 hours?

We do not know for sure.

But we do notice things.

Obama Birth Certificate: Serious Citizenship Questions Emerge

Serious Questions Emerge About Obama's U.S. Citizenship
Nancy Morgan
Right Bias.com

Obama's Birth Certificate and the Campaign's Response

For weeks, Internet blogs have been abuzz with questions regarding the validity of Obama's U.S. citizenship. Only recently have these questions been given serious consideration

Philip Berg, lifelong Democrat and Philadelphia lawyer, filed a lawsuit August 8, 2008, challenging Obama's claim of U.S. citizenship. The lawsuit could be resolved if Obama simply produces his birth certificate, which he has yet to do.

Questions have arisen about the birth certificate Obama initially placed on his web site. Well known Fact Check.org, attested to its authenticity but, as this video produced by Philip Berg shows, serious questions remain. Berg has pointed out that FactCheck.org is associated with the Annenberg Foundation, upon whose board Obama once sat.

Obama's grandmother has allegedly claimed to have been present at Obama's birth - in a hospital in Kenya. (Obama has taken the unprecedented step of suspending his campaign two weeks before the election in order to visit with his grandmother in Hawaii.) Obama's half-sister claims differently.

To date, the questions swirling around Obama's birth certificate have not been investigated or aired by any major media outlet. WPTV of West Palm Beach Florida is the only credible source to address this issue. They report, "The Obama camp and Democratic National Committee responded to the lawsuit by filing a motion to dismiss, but they never responded to the request for admissions."

Newsbusters.org, yesterday also reported on these allegations, as did conservative talk show host, Michael Savage.

RightBias.com considers William Berg's video compelling enough to be seriously considered. Though we have not done an in-depth investigation, the fact that Obama has yet to produce his birth certificate raises valid questions.

This video is app. 9 minutes long. Every American should have access to the information it contains in order to decide for themselves the veracity of Berg's allegations.

Obama Birth Certificate: State Lawsuits Spread

Birth Certificate Lawsuits Mushroom in State Courts

Obama Birth Certificate

State Courts See More Lawsuits over Obama Citizenship Issue

Got this from Yid with Lid, NRO Cover's Obama's Birth Certificate-Lawsuits Spread to EIGHT States, who did yeoman's work in rounding up the lawsuits which have mushroomed over the last several days concerning the birth Certificate of Barack Obama.

Good Day for those looking to find out the truth about Senator Obama's Birth Certificate. Its finally growing beyond the "blogisphere." Andy McCarthy of NRO Picked it up today and the number of Law Suits is up to eight States. Senator, if all IS kosher with your "Certificate of Live Birth" then why don't you tell Hawaii to release your Official Document?:
Turning the Page from Campaign Finance Fraud . . . [Andy McCarthy]

YWL lists the lawsuits in the state courts:

(HI) Andy Martin at email: AndyMart20@aol.com
(WA) Steve Marquis email: peoplesvoice@peoplespassions.org ; website: www.peoplespassion.org
(CA) David Archbold email darchbo1@gmail.com
(GA) Tom Terry email: kingdommatters@gmail.com
(PA) Philip Berg email: philjberg@obamacrimes.com ; website: www.obamacrimes.com
(NY) Dan Smith email: Dansmith1954@aol.com
(CT) Cort Wrotnowski email: Metaqubit@aol.com

While not found of court actions in general, all of this could have been avoided.

With the Obama website, "Fight the Smears.com" posting that Obama had dual citizenship with Kenya, questions were bound to arise.--questions which the campaign has sucessfully ignored thus far since posting the dual citizenship annnouncement.

Since the story is spreading rapidly over the last several days--Rush Limbaugh mentioned it yesterday, Michael Savage interviewed Phillip Berg last night and now NRO reporting on it--expect a curt denial from the campaign.

As well as the appropriate pieces in Big Media castigating any who have asked questions.

BERG v. OBAMA Federal Lawsuit

Jeff Schreiber at America's Right--who broke the Berg v. Obama lawsuit story on the Internet and has excellent coverage of the lawsuit has news. From Space Reserved for News on Court Order

Second, I was told yesterday afternoon that the order would likely be coming down either late yesterday--5:30 to 6:00 p.m.--or some time this morning. Obviously, Judge Surrick has the final word on this, and if he feels that he is not satisfied with his memorandum, especially considering the number of new filings this week, it may be later.

Schreiber also reports what may be a rightly called a bombshell:

Incidentally, Philip Berg was on Michael Savage's radio program last night and spoke about taped evidence, and sworn affidavits, that he has showing Obama's paternal grandmother in Kenya saying that she was present in the delivery room for his birth. I know for a fact that Berg does indeed have tapes of this kind in his possession -- but as the parts I heard were in a language I did not understand [and he was in the process of having translated], I cannot attest for sure that the tapes contain what Berg contends.

This is complete news to many--including DBKP.

AFRICAN PRESS INTERNATIONAL and MiCHELLE OBAMA tapes

There are so many conflicting stories on the African Press International story that we will refrain from comment until some hard info can be obtained.

DBKP has received emails with many claims. Some of these claims are very believable and come from sources that are credible. Some are not.

The only thing we know for sure is that World Net Daily is reporting that it has an unnamed source at Fox News that is saying that there are no negotiations with Fox News ongoing over the API tapes.

Fox News denies negotiating over 'Michelle Obama tapes':

"A Fox News official who requested anonymity said there simply were no negotiations with API over any tapes or any other issue."

The number of rumors and speculation over Barack Obama seems to have hit a hit point in the last few days. Rumors over such things as Obama's relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, parentage, and other issues has grown.

We don't put any stock in many of the rumors; but when information is kept from the public, the public will many times supply its own information. The secrecy surrounding the Obama medical, college and university records only fuels the speculation.

We will only remark: a wait and see attitude seems advisable--heavy on the "wait".

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Today's the Day We Send the "Bring Back Dog" Petition to AE Network

Today's the day.

After 2 and 1/2 weeks, we're sending our "Bring Back the Dog" Petition into Arts and Entertainment Network, complete with all of your comments.

Dog supporters have sent us [at latest count, at all locations] over 400 pages of comments, pleas and emails.

All are overwhelmingly in favor of a return to the airwaves of the "Dog the Bounty Hunter" TV show.

We are going to send in the petition and the attached names and comments by email today and follow it up with mailing the printed out pages to A & E.

We know we could have collected more signatures if we would have left the petition up longer. And many of you asked us to do that.

But we felt that it was important to start the ball rolling in Dog's favor.

We will be putting another petition up in the near future. Our purpose it twofold: we want to keep the pressure up on A & E Network and we want to keep the Dog's situation alive in the minds of his supporters.

We have some other ideas in the works also--but they're not ready yet.

If you have an idea on how we can better make your voices heard, drop us an email.
Send your idea to mondoreb@gmail.com.

We'll be contacting others who've posted online petitions in an effort to report on how their efforts are going.

This is not all of the petitions out there: only the ones of which we are aware.

There is a letter writing campaign underway. Information on this is below.

Send your e-mails and comments to bond@bondinfo.org or write to us at:

BOND
c/o “DOG Letter Campaign”
P.O. Box 35090
Los Angeles, CA 90035

Meanwhile, boycotts of everything from Yum Brands (Taco Bell, Long John Silvers, Pizza Hut) to Max Factor Products to the A&E Network itself are organizing.
For more information, check out December 13 is Global Dog the Bounty Hunter Day

So that is the state of the Dog for December 6, 2007. One week away from the rally for Dog at the A & E Studios in New York City. If you can't be there, sign a petition or send A & E a pineapple (Pineapple Drive to Save Dog the Bounty Hunter).

DBKP will keep reporting new news; in the meantime

Bring back Dog.

Dog the Bounty Hunter:
Son Sold Tabloids Info Before,
Appears to Have Violated Law

Dog's Son May Soon Be In Doghouse

Dog the Bounty Hunter:
Dog's Son Punk Sold Info to Tabloids Before
Dog's Son May Be Guilty of Violating Taping Private Conversations Law

The Dog story keeps getting more bizarre. Gloss Lip and TMZ report that Duane "Dog" Chapman's son, Tucker, had sold information about his father to the tabloids before the tape incident.

It's also been reported that his son probably violated Hawaii state law by taping the conversation and releasing it in the first place.

Startling news from TMZ and Glosslip:

It would seem that Duane “Dog” Chapman’s son Tucker has a bit of a chip on his shoulder about his famous bounty hunter dad…because this isn’t the first time he’s sold information about his dad to the tabloids:

Meanwhile, a source tells TMZ that the revelation that Dog’s son Tucker was the one who sold his father’s rant to the National Enquirer isn’t so shocking — given that he’s done it before. We’re told that just a few months back, Tucker was paid by the tabloid for a story about his dad disappearing.

Tucker seems to be upset with his father because Dog disapproves of his girlfriend, who happens to be black:

Attorney Brook Hart told The Associated Press that Chapman’s son, Tucker, sent the recording to the tabloid for “a lot of money.”

“I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner,” Hart said. […]

In the conversation, Chapman urges Tucker to break up with his girlfriend. He also expresses concern about the girlfriend trying to tape and go public about the TV star’s use of the N-word.

In a statement, the 54-year-old Chapman said he has “utmost respect and aloha for black people who have suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred.

“I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world,” he said. “I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.”

Hart said his client is not a racist and vowed never to use the word again.

“I have never seen anything that suggests he judges people by the color of their skin or racial background or anything but on their character,” he said. “Duane lost his composure and made very, very inappropriate remarks, for which he truly regrets.”

Chapman said he was “disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character. However, I should have never used that term.”

From what I’ve read about the incident, and heard on the recording, it isn’t the fact that the girl is black that upset Dog…it was her questionable character. He seemed to be under the impression that Tucker could have chosen more wisely in his choice of companion, considering the family profession. And you know what? He’s right. When you’re in that sort of job, you do need to be very careful about the company you keep.

It also seems that Tucker, 23, has just been released from prison after serving time on a 20-year drug charge. Perhaps he needs to take a closer look at his choice of friends.

Tucker violated the law in taping the conversation and then releasing it for money? More on this development.

The statute is a bit confusing. (Or maybe it’s just been too long since I’ve practiced law.) But from what I can tell, Tucker might have a problem. The Code seems to say that someone who records a phone conversation without the permission of both parties is criminally liable. On the other hand, the Code’s commentary says: “If one of the parties to the communication authorizes its interception or recordation (e.g., in an attempt to trace obscene or extortionary telephone calls), criminal sanctions ought not to result.”

More sad news for the Dog family. Meanwhile, the door might be left open for the Dog The Bounty Hunter Show to return to TV.

Dog the Bounty Hunter Show Now Canceled

Dog the Bounty Hunter: A&E just canceled the "Dog the Bounty Hunter" show on their network--it's been learned just minutes ago. Duane Chapman, who stars as the big-hearted bail bondsman, is now out of a TV job.

More from the Honalulu Star Bulletin:

The Hawaii-based reality TV show “Dog the Bounty Hunter” was canceled today by the A&E cable network, two days after the release of a tape in which star Duane “Dog” Chapman was caught in a racist rant about his son’s black girlfriend.

“In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' off the network’s schedule for the foreseeable future,” A&E said in statement, according to Multichannel News. “We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun.”

An A&E network executive did not return Star-Bulletin calls for further comment this morning.

The network had suspended the show Wednesday after the National Enquirer posted the tape online in which Chapman repeatedly uses the N-word as he tries to convince his son Tucker to break up with his girlfriend.

Bad Dog.

It looked like Duane Chapman was rallying. Now more trouble for the Dog. After it was revealed that the Dog was sold out by his son PUNK. The tapes which have caused all the uproar were sold by his son PUNK to the National Enquirer.

Now a civil rights leader is saying: Get the Dog OFF television.
From the National Enquirer:

This is awful. This man should not have a show on television!"

Tamika Mallory — who heads the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network's Decency Initiative — lashed out at Duane "Dog" Chapman after hearing a tape of the bounty hunter's racist rants.

"I think the A&E network should uphold their standards, which should be that people are not allowed to use demeaning language toward another racial group and marginalize them."

Maybe just the first in a series of calls? Or will the Bounty Hunter rally?

EARLIER:

Dog Gets Punk'ed!
Dog's son, Punk put him in the doghouse.

Duane Chapman, aka Dog the Bounty Hunter's, son, Punk, sold the old man out for 30 pieces of silver.

Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman's son taped a private phone conversation in which the reality star used a racial slur repeatedly, then sold it to a tabloid for "a lot of money," Chapman's lawyer said Thursday.

"I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner," attorney Brook Hart told The Associated Press.

Tucker Chapman could not be reached for comment; no one answered the telephone at a Honolulu number listed under his name.

The National Enquirer on Wednesday posted on its Web site a clip of a conversation in which Duane Chapman, star of the hit A&E series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," repeatedly used the N-word in reference to Tucker's girlfriend.

Chapman later apologized to his son and the woman, then learned about how the tape got into the tabloid's hands, Hart said.

A & E now says Series "Not Canceled", Only "Suspended"
A&E has suspended production of the series, saying the network takes the matter seriously.

"When the inquiry is concluded, we will take appropriate action," A&E spokesman Michael Feeney said in a statement Thursday.

The show, in its fifth season and one of A&E's top-rated programs, has not been canceled.
