Law professor/author Andy Martin makes a personal appeal to Barack Obama: release the secret files in Hawai’i State custody!

Martin says Monday’s admission by Hawai’i health officials that the state still maintains secret files on Obama makes asses out of Bill O’Reilly, CNN “researchers” and the CNN news managers that tried to intimidate Lou Dobbs. Hawai’i officials admitted (confessed?) on July 27th they still maintain secret files on Obama that have not been opened to the public. Martin has a pending lawsuit seeking public access to these historical archives in Hawai’i State custody. Martin says the latest disclosure by Hawai’i that the secret files still exist is going to explode the controversy and corrode support for Obama’s presidency. Since filing his lawsuit in 2008, Martin has become a candidate for U. S. Senator in Illinois in 2010.

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says “the Obama birth certificate circus has now spun out of media control”

The legal expert whose columns and lawsuits created the birth certificate frenzy says the opposition to disclosure will be undermined by the latest admission that Hawai’i still maintains secret files on Barack Obama

Martin says Obama’s secret files in Hawai’i are increasingly corroding public support for his presidency

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANDY MARTIN SAYS DR. CHIYOME FUKINO’S LATEST ADMISSION ADDS FUEL TO THE FIRE, AND MAKES BILL O’REILLY LOOK LIKE A JERK.

CNN NEWS MANAGEMENT IS ONCE AGAIN EMBARRASSED; LOU DOBBS IS A WINNER

ANDY PLANS MORE LEGAL ACTION IN THE HAWAI’I SUPREME COURT
TO “STOP THE CIRCUS”

MAINSTREAM MEDIA (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, NEW YORK TIMES) LOOK LIKE OBAMA LACKEYS FOR PRESENTING THE “OBAMA PARTY LINE" ON THE SECRET BIRTH FILES.

“WHEN DID THE NEW YORK TIMES EVER STOP TRYING TO DISCOVER THE CONTENTS OF SECRET FILES?” ASKS MARTIN. “WHEN THEY CONCERNED OBAMA’S BIRTH RECORDS.”

(PALM BEACH)(July 28, 2009) Just when you thought the anti-birth certificate wackos in the mainstream media (Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Brian Williams, Chris Matthews, Bill O’Reilly and others) could not get any wackier, they were torpedoed Monday, July 27th by a new confirmation that Hawai’i state officials still maintain secret birth records on Barack Obama

“Last week, CNN threatened Lou Dobbs and denigrated his professionalism for being right about Obama’s missing birth records,” law professor and Obama author Andy Martin announced Tuesday morning. “Dobbs has said (we paraphrase) ‘I think Obama is a citizen, but why won’t he release the original documentation?’ CNN ‘news managers’ have said the issue is ‘dead.’ July 27th Hawai’i officials rendered those claims ‘dead’ when they confirmed the issue of the secret files is very much alive.

“I know how CNN can save some money,” says Martin. “They can fire the jerks in the ‘research’ department who said the Obama birth documents had been destroyed. Chiyome Fukino has just made assess out of CNN ‘research.’ She proved that Lou Dobbs is on the right track.

“Bill O’Reilly, who likes to think of himself as a restrained intellectual, proved that when it comes to Obama’s birth records, the opponents of release always end up making themselves look like asses. O’Reilly said Monday that Hawai’i officials sent his staff the birth certificate last year. That is a lie. Pure nonsense. Hawai’i has not distributed even the COLB without Obama’s permission. There is no evidence Obama gave permission to O’Reilly or Hawai’i to send O’Reilly a copy. To be polite about it, O’Reilly is full of crap. O’Reilly took a cheap shot at Lou Dobbs and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

“Then there is ‘Dr.’ Chiyome Fukino. She is another ‘ring’ in the Obama birth certificate three-ring circus. In October, 2008 Fukino tried to rig the election in Obama’s favor (despite the fact she works for a Republican governor) by releasing remarks confirming she had personally examined Obama’s original paperwork. How could she have done that if CNN says the records were destroyed six years earlier?

“At the time, I said Fukino had validated the claims in my lawsuit. I was correct. Fukino repeated her remarks Monday, July 27th.

“Monday’s ‘statement’ by Fukino will energize the controversy. Fukino again confirmed she had examined (caps for emphasis) ‘the ORIGINAL VITAL RECORDS MAINTAINED ON FILE by the Hawai’i State Department of Health…’ ‘Original…records’ are clearly something different than mere data stored in a DOH computer.

“Just when the mainstream media were trying to cover-up the controversy, Fukino poured new fuel on the fire and ensured the Obama 'Birth Certificate Circus' will not end until Hawai'i's secret files are made public. Fukino’s latest remarks are going to send the ‘Free the birth certificate’ movement into the media mainstream.

“If Fukino has a secret ‘original file’ which she repeatedly references and examines, she makes asses out of CNN who claim the file was destroyed. Embarrassing for CNN? Yup. Validation for Lou Dobbs? Yup.

“I would like to claim the role of ringmaster in this birth certificate circus,” Martin says. “I did what any competent law professor would do in 2008. I cracked the whip in Honolulu and filed a lawsuit to obtain access to the secret files containing the historic information. Hawai’i officials are still keeping these American archives secret. Outrageous. Hawaii’s action is asinine.

“My complaint is on the Internet (October, 2008 archives). The Hawaii’ courts have tried to delay and obstruct my access to the ‘original vital records.’ How can you hide history? Obama’s documentation is now part of history. Plain and simple.

“My case is currently pending in both the Hawai’i Supreme Court and the Honolulu District Court. I do not believe my Petition for Certiorari in the Hawai’i Supreme Court is online at the Court, but I put my papers online on my blogs (see below). The title of the lawsuit is Martin v. Lingle.

“From the first day I began writing about Barack Obama’s secret life five years ago, Obama has obstructed access to the truth about himself. Obama’s sycophants in the media and government have tried to protect him from the truth and the facts of his life.

“But the truth won't die, because the truth cannot die. The truth is in the documents.

“What secrets do the secret files contain? Americans have a right to know. Historians and authors have a right to know.

“The search for the truth is being obstructed by Barack Obama himself. He could put an end to the 'Circus' by authorizing Hawai'i to release the secret files. What is he hiding? My search for the facts and truth continues, and will continue. The American people have a right to see the ‘original vital records’ of their president.

“I will shortly announce new legal action. Fukino has confirmed that ‘the original vital records’ on file with the Hawai’i Department’ exist and she has access to them. Therefore, I have a meritorious legal claim. I will continue to press that claim.

“Those who claim, as Bill O’Reilly does falsely, that they have already received these documents are liars. Those who claim, as CNN does, that these documents have been destroyed, are also liars. Fukino's latest disclosure that the secret files exist has made liars out of all of them.

“Luckily, one person, me, is seeking the truth in the proper forum (Hawai’i state courts) with a lawsuit against the proper officials (Hawai’i state officials), for the secret documents which they admitted again on July 27th they have on file. I will continue to press my claims.

Lou Dobbs, who does not have my level of legal expertise, but who has a practical understanding that ‘something is wrong’ with the way Obama’s ‘vital records’ are being manipulated and concealed, is also right. The boobs at CNN who denigrated and intimidated Dobbs also end up looking like asses.

“Dobbs and I look pretty good.

“Finally, I issue this sincere appeal to Barack Obama: Stop the Circus! Stop manipulating and concealing the truth about yourself. Public doubts are growing. As long as you maintain secret files in Hawai’i these files are going to corrode public support for your presidency.

“In the wake of Fukino's July 27th remarks, public doubts are going to skyrocket. Authorize Hawai’i to release all of your secret files. With Fukino’s confirmation that these files exist, the controversy is not going to die and is not going to disappear unless and until Fukino’s secret files, all of them, not just some of them, are made public.

“You are abusing the American people by playing games with your birth records. Stop the Circus. Tell the truth! Open the files!” Martin said.

Professor Martin is preparing new legal action.

Earlier this year he became a candidate for U. S. Senator from Illinois in 2010. [Martin is currently visiting his mother, who lives in Florida, before the senate race formally opens on August 4th.]

Andy Martin remembers Walter Cronkite and yesterday's media

Walter Cronkite's passing prompts a reflection and reminiscence by the dean of Illinois' media and communications

ContrarianCommentary.com
Andy Martin
Executive Editor

“Factually Correct, Not
Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Walter Cronkite's passing reminds us how much our own news media have changed since the 1960's

Andy Martin began in a world that was remarkably similar to Walter Cronkite's formative years; with his 42 years of news and information gathering experience, Andy connects Cronkite's world to our own modern media

(NEW YORK)(July 18, 2009) At the bottom of most of our columns we usually refer to me as the "dean" of Illinois media and communications. Watching the coverage of Walter Cronkite's death was enough to make me feel older, and once again remember the 1960's.

NBC News offered me a job 42 years ago. Ultimately I turned the position down. I spent part of 1967 and 1968 in Viet-Nam as part of fly-on-the-wall efforts to create a back channel in Washington (see www.AndyMartin.com for pictures). In 1968 I became an FCC-approved TV station owner. "Video tape" was two inches wide. It all seems so long ago.

News then. News now. Cronkite's news-gathering world has long since passed. But today we still crave the authenticity and experience that Cronkite offered his audience. Here are my thoughts about then and now.

Despite the fact I am closing in on a half century of broadcasting experience, and therefore entitled to be called a "dean" (or perhaps something more sinister), I did not come into my own until the Internet era. And so in the age of today's blow-dried mannequins, I approach commentary and communications just as energetically as the most fresh-faced college graduate.

Cronkite started out when video "news" traveled slowly, by film and propeller airplane, and was displayed in move theaters. Transatlantic telephone service was still a new medium in World War II. When I arrived in Viet-Nam in 1967, "news" was little changed from the Second World War.

We look back and think of Viet-Nam as the "first television war." In some ways it ways; in others not. When you left Saigon or DaNang you were in another world. The war was real. You were alone.

Camera crews in Viet-Nam still used film; that film had to go to Hong Kong or the West Coast for processing. Associated Press and United Press International sent still pictures by wire; and newspaper stories left Saigon by wire. But TV film could not be transmitted directly from Saigon to New York.

Network correspondents and cameramen went into the field; days later their material would pop up on the evening news. Then Walter Cronkite went to Viet-Nam during the later stages of the Tet Offensive in 1968. He wanted to "see for himself." When he arrived, the news cycle moved with him. Unlike an ordinary correspondent, Cronkite's remarks were transmitted through extraordinary efforts to get the material out fast.is
Change had come to the battlefield.

Today we routinely expect instant coverage of every event. We are quite surprised when live coverage is unavailable, as it was last month after the Iranian election.

Has "instant" news changed the nature of our information? Indeed it has.

Cronkite was called the "most trusted man in America" because his judgment had been forged on remote battlefields, where independent knowledge and enterprise were essential. That was how he became a "newsman." People trusted his judgment because his judgment was real.

Today, college graduates in "media" programs expect to start in Podunk markets; they will work themselves up the media food chain to New York or LA or Chicago due primarily to their personal appearance and not their news-gathering expertise. These "talking heads" have never been alone on a battlefield. They have never been cut off from their world while they sought to gather information. They have satellite uplinks and sat phones.

By comparison, the judgments and opinions formed by people such as Cronkite, who were forced to develop independent expertise, were vastly different than the judgments formed today by "reporters" who are merely passive observers of news events.

We no longer have the same trust in media. Cronkite was different. People relied on him because he new what he was talking about. He had experience. There is something about being shot at and dodging mortar rounds while you are out there in the middle of hell-on-earth gathering information that changes you. You develop a desire to get the facts right. Today news gathering is a more antiseptic enterprise.

There was one special aspect Cronkite's journalism that no one mentioned in all the coverage of his death yesterday. He was the consummate "outsider." No president ever called Walter Cronkite a crony. "Uncle Walter" was distant and remote from Washington and the political machinations of Washington.

ABC was recently criticized for setting up shop to do "news" about "health care" from the White House. That's what passes for "news" in Obama's Washington. Previously, NBC News also received criticism for allowing Brian Williams to appear as a tool of the Obama administration.

No one ever accused Walter Cronkite of being a tool of anyone, least of all a tool of any politician. Cronkite's gravitas was in part a manifestation of the fact that he kept himself at a distance from politicians, and reported the news independently of DC influence brokers.

The bottom line? Cronkite was a great man. He was independent; he garnered his experience on the battlefield, not in the make-up room. His character was molded by the real world, not in a media hothouse.

Perhaps Cronkite's world was also an easier one for us. There were three networks to choose from, and that was that. One or two dominant newspapers. Today there are dozens of networks. Newspapers are vanishing. I don't know when I last tuned to a network "evening news" broadcast: twenty years ago? Thirty? Newspapers? Don't ask.

Today news comes at us from all directions, not just one source.

ContrarianCommentary.com now draws on information from our resources around the world; we assemble columns and occasionally breaking news from our own independent perspective. But I never felt so alive as when I was out in the field, alone, cut off from the world and forced to rely on my own instincts to search for the truth and find the facts. I was doing that in Viet-Nam 42 years ago, in Iraq six years ago and in Hawai'i ten months ago. I'm still on the same mission. If you don't believe me, just ask Barack Obama. He knows how hard I search. For the facts.

The modern "news" environment is more challenging for the viewer, listener, reader. Everyone must be more alert, observant and critical. The "wheat" is often overwhelmed by the "chaff."

Each of us has become our own "managing editor," filtering in what is credible and filtering out information that that lacks authenticity. It's not easy work.

The job that Walter Cronkite used to do for us every night, we now have to do for ourselves.

And that's the way it is. Good night.

Barack Obama's refusal to provide his original birth certificate raises increasing public doubts

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin's "birth certificate bandwagon" continues to grow

ContrarianCommentary.com
Andy Martin
Executive Editor

“Factually Correct, Not
Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

“What hath Andy wrought?”

Barack Obama persists with his obsessive self-destruction by continuing to play games over his original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate

When Andy Martin “outed" Barack Obama’s family history in 2004, and raised questions about Obama’s birth certificate and citizenship in 2007, he had no idea he was creating the “Obama birth certificate” industry

(NEW YORK)(July 15, 2009) A month ago I commented on the mushrooming "birth certificate brouhaha" that I had created concerning Barack Obama:
http://contrariancommentary.wordpress.com/2009/06/

Since then, the controversy has continued to increase.

Tuesday Keith Olbermann pilloried someone for questioning Obama's "natural born" status ("Worst Person in the World"). Lou Dobbs apparently said he was going to contact the Hawai'i governor to demand release of the birth certificate. Lawsuits continue to fly everywhere.

In my opinion, the issue of Obama's birth certificate is eventually going to explode. As public doubts about Obama's leadership grow, and his programs and policies draw increasing opposition, issues that were ignored during the 2008 campaign are going to be revivified.

One of my birth certificate petitions remains pending before the Hawai'i Supreme Court. And there is a great deal more litigation to come in the Hawai'i court system.

ContrarianCommentary.com is about to add explosive new fuel to the birth certificate fire.

We are going to do a fund raising appeal to complete our Obama film that was shot on location in Hawai'i and needs final editing before being posted on the Internet. "Obama: The Hawai'i Years" will provide a plausible theory of why Barack Obama's father is not Barack Obama, but rather why Frank Marshall Davis is the biological parent of the president.

Whether one accepts or rejects the "Davis" theory (and many people reject it), the film will offer the first coherent video presentation of Obama's Hawai'i origins.

I wish we could have finished the editing sooner. But we work on a shoestring and the string is a little short right now.

Second, we convened the first National Conference on Barack Obama's Missing Birth Certificate in Washington in April, 2009.
http://NationalConferenceOnObama.blogspot.com/
The editing of that Conference is also delayed due to lack of funds. But we are trying to raise money to complete the editing.

I have done a lot of thinking about the "natural born citizen" issue since the Conference. The Conference (which will be posted in segments on YouTube when we finish) will stimulate even more debate because I attempt to offer a law professor's understanding of how a modern court would address the "natural born" question.

Frankly, I wish we had the money to host a second conference on the "natural born citizen" issue alone, because it is a fascinating constitutional question. Right now, no funds are available. To be clear, I accept no compensation for my efforts on behalf of those who question Obama's origins. The only money we solicit is funds to cover operating expenses (filing fees, express, travel, etc.).

The lack of any personal financial interest leaves me clear to state the truth as I see it, free from any pressure. What I have to say does not always please everyone. But I call'em as I see'em.

While I am the generally accepted paterfamilias of the Obama birth certificate industry, the movement has grown far beyond my own individual actions. I am obviously not in control of all of the permutations. In order to maintain our own internal quality control, we produce our own events and I prepare my own litigation. Generally I avoid commenting in public on the efforts of others.

Still, Obama has done me the compliment of attacking me personally (through Mr. Gibbs) because he realizes that due to my measured and professional approach, my efforts pose the greatest long-term threat to his birth certificate secrecy machinations.

What is increasingly clear that as doubts about Obama grow, the birth certificate question will continue to metastasize and become an increasing headache for Obama & Co.

Robert Gibbs and Obama continue to defraud the public. Obama has never authorized release of his original, 1961 typewritten birth certificate. Claims to the contrary are untrue. I do not know what information Obama is trying to hide on the original document. I only know that eventually that piece of paper will become public; when it does Obama will suffer a self-inflicted wound because he delayed release and lied to the American people.

Stay tuned. The birth certificate controversy is growing every day.

Did Sonia Sotomayor's "mentor" at Yale provide her with cocaine?

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin was born in Connecticut and is familiar with the "players" in the sordid drama of "Cocaine Cabranes" and his Puerto Rican students at Yale University. Martin suggests that Sotomayor, a married student at the time, may have been compromised by José Cabranes.

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin on the "Secret Life of Sonia Sotomayor, Part II"

“Factually Correct, Not
Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

DID JUDGE JOSÉ CABRANES PROVIDE PUERTO RICAN STUDENTS AT YALE WITH COCAINE?

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SONIA SOTOMAYOR AND JOSÉ CABRANES BEARS DEEPER ANALYSIS; "COCAINE CABRANES" MAY HAVE PLIED SOTOMAYOR WITH COCAINE AND BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BREAKUP OF HER MARRIAGE

(WASHINGTON, DC)(July 13, 2009) The U. S. Senate should explore the relationship between Sonia Sotomayor and her "demented mentor" Judge José Cabranes. "Cocaine Cabranes" may have plied Sotomayor with cocaine at Yale University and been the cause of the breakup of Sotomayor's marriage.

Cabranes has sought to portray himself as a paterfamilias of Puerto Ricans at Yale and in New York:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/22/us/politics/
22mentors.html?pagewanted=1

But the "back story" involving Cabranes and Sotomayor may be even more interesting than the mainstream media's whitewashed presentation.

"Joe" Cabranes was one of the great racial hucksters of his generation, promoting himself as "José" in public while living an Anglo double life in private as plain old "Joe." Cabranes also led a dual life on the streets of El Barrio in New York, where he regularly returned, and at Yale, where his marital infidelities and drug use were legendary.

Cabranes undoubtedly has a first rate intellect. But the inferiority complex engendered by being the son of Manny Cabranes, a radical, proto-communist labor "syndicalist," left indelible scars on José's psyche.

As a federal judge in Connecticut, Cabranes was despised by both colleagues and court staff.

[Full disclosure: I encountered Cabranes in the 1980's. Many days he was incoherent in court, apparently coming off a drug high the night before. Cabranes was notoriously indifferent to and abusive of the court staff. ContrarianCommentary.com also has FBI records that document wholesale violations of federal law by "Cocaine" Cabranes. I believe, but cannot prove, that Cabranes may have participated in the fatal drug overdose of a lover. Yale University and the surrounding community is one of the sickest and most incestuous academic societies in America. Because I taught college in the Bronx, I came to have a special knowledge of and sensitivity to El Barrio, Cabranes, Sotomayor and the others who profited from affirmative action in the 1970's and 80's.]

What was a poseur and rake of Cabranes' legendary status doing "mentoring" a married woman during his days as a Yale attorney? (Sotomayor was married in 1976 and went to Yale as a married woman.)

Having Cabranes as a "mentor" would expose any impressionable young woman, even a married one, to extreme conflicts, particularly if she came from El Barrio. If indeed Sotomayor did use cocaine in conjunction with Cabranes, that use would have been extremely high-risk behavior given her medical situation. Sotomayor continued to smoke well into adulthood despite her illness.

I don't doubt that Sonia Sotomayor is also a highly intelligent person. But there are a lot of highly intelligent attorneys out there. Other than playing racial politics, and payback to a significant voting group, Sotomayor does not have any visible qualifications to be rewarded with appointment to the Supreme Court.

In the "Secret Life of Sonia Sotomayor, Part I," we analyzed Sotomayor's ambiguous social life and the serious questions raised by her peculiar martial status. Since we published Part One, the New York Times has provided additional reporting that tended to confirm our original concerns and conclusions.

Sadly, the hearings that begin in Washington today are likely to bogged down by conservative "Guerilla Theater," seeking to pinpoint Sotomayor's views on controversial issues. But it is Sotomayor's psyche and her relationship with her "demented mentor" Cabranes that raise the most serious questions about her fitness to sit on the Supreme Court.

Committee Staff for the Senate Judiciary Committee should be charged with undertaking an extensive study of the relationship between Cocaine Cabranes and Sonia Sotomayor during the 1970's and 80's.

Ultimately, like her "mentor" Cabranes, Sonia Sotomayor is a deeply conflicted person. If she is confirmed, she is probably going to disappoint Democrats and delight Republicans. Thus, the drama over her confirmation has a hollow air to it.

Barack Obama's first appointment to the Supreme Court will be seen in time as nothing more than a case of Supreme Court cuchifritos.

Did Sonia Sotomayor's "mentor" at Yale provide her with cocaine?

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin was born in Connecticut and is familiar with the "players" in the sordid drama of "Cocaine Cabranes" and his Puerto Rican students at Yale University. Martin suggests that Sotomayor, a married student at the time, may have been compromised by José Cabranes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

DID JUDGE JOSÉ CABRANES PROVIDE PUERTO RICAN STUDENTS AT YALE WITH COCAINE?

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SONIA SOTOMAYOR AND JOSÉ CABRANES BEARS DEEPER ANALYSIS; "COCAINE CABRANES" MAY HAVE PLIED SOTOMAYOR WITH COCAINE AND BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BREAKUP OF HER MARRIAGE

(WASHINGTON, DC)(July 13, 2009) The U. S. Senate should explore the relationship between Sonia Sotomayor and her "demented mentor" Judge José Cabranes. "Cocaine Cabranes" may have plied Sotomayor with cocaine at Yale University and been the cause of the breakup of Sotomayor's marriage.

Cabranes has sought to portray himself as a paterfamilias of Puerto Ricans at Yale and in New York:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/22/us/politics/
22mentors.html?pagewanted=1

But the "back story" involving Cabranes and Sotomayor may be even more interesting than the mainstream media's whitewashed presentation.

"Joe" Cabranes was one of the great racial hucksters of his generation, promoting himself as "José" in public while living an Anglo double life in private as plain old "Joe." Cabranes also led a dual life on the streets of El Barrio in New York, where he regularly returned, and at Yale, where his marital infidelities and drug use were legendary.

Cabranes undoubtedly has a first rate intellect. But the inferiority complex engendered by being the son of Manny Cabranes, a radical, proto-communist labor "syndicalist," left indelible scars on José's psyche.

As a federal judge in Connecticut, Cabranes was despised by both colleagues and court staff.

[Full disclosure: I encountered Cabranes in the 1980's. Many days he was incoherent in court, apparently coming off a drug high the night before. Cabranes was notoriously indifferent to and abusive of the court staff. ContrarianCommentary.com also has FBI records that document wholesale violations of federal law by "Cocaine" Cabranes. I believe, but cannot prove, that Cabranes may have participated in the fatal drug overdose of a lover. Yale University and the surrounding community is one of the sickest and most incestuous academic societies in America. Because I taught college in the Bronx, I came to have a special knowledge of and sensitivity to El Barrio, Cabranes, Sotomayor and the others who profited from affirmative action in the 1970's and 80's.]

What was a poseur and rake of Cabranes' legendary status doing "mentoring" a married woman during his days as a Yale attorney? (Sotomayor was married in 1976 and went to Yale as a married woman.)

Having Cabranes as a "mentor" would expose any impressionable young woman, even a married one, to extreme conflicts, particularly if she came from El Barrio. If indeed Sotomayor did use cocaine in conjunction with Cabranes, that use would have been extremely high-risk behavior given her medical situation. Sotomayor continued to smoke well into adulthood despite her illness.

I don't doubt that Sonia Sotomayor is also a highly intelligent person. But there are a lot of highly intelligent attorneys out there. Other than playing racial politics, and payback to a significant voting group, Sotomayor does not have any visible qualifications to be rewarded with appointment to the Supreme Court.

In the "Secret Life of Sonia Sotomayor, Part I," we analyzed Sotomayor's ambiguous social life and the serious questions raised by her peculiar martial status. Since we published Part One, the New York Times has provided additional reporting that tended to confirm our original concerns and conclusions.

Sadly, the hearings that begin in Washington today are likely to bogged down by conservative "Guerilla Theater," seeking to pinpoint Sotomayor's views on controversial issues. But it is Sotomayor's psyche and her relationship with her "demented mentor" Cabranes that raise the most serious questions about her fitness to sit on the Supreme Court.

Committee Staff for the Senate Judiciary Committee should be charged with undertaking an extensive study of the relationship between Cocaine Cabranes and Sonia Sotomayor during the 1970's and 80's.

Ultimately, like her "mentor" Cabranes, Sonia Sotomayor is a deeply conflicted woman. If she is confirmed, she is probably going to disappoint Democrats and delight Republicans. Thus, the drama over her confirmation has a hollow air to it.

Barack Obama's first appointment to the Supreme Court will be seen in time as nothing more than a case of Supreme Court cuchifritos.

___________________________________

REQUEST TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE IN CONNECTION WITH
APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI

The question of where Barack Obama was born continues to be clouded and occluded. As the accompanying certiorari papers were being prepared, yet another article crossed Petitioner's desk with conflicting documentation (see attached): http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103306.
Whether the article in question is accurate, vel non, is impossible to determine because the article contains conflicting claims emanating from the Obama family itself as well as other reputable sources.
Petitioner has never made any claims about Obama's origins, because he has accepted at face value the claims of Hawai'i officials that there is an actual, original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate. He has merely sought access to an indisputably archival, historical record of the American presidency.
Where conflicts in the public records and conflicting claims exist about the highest elected official in the United States, a court should be particularly wary in covering up the original document that can answer the conflicting claims with reasonable finality.
When a court or a judicial system aids and abets in a cover-up of historical truth, ultimately the court itself will become the victim of its own machinations.
No reasonable person could claim that Hawaii's "secrecy" statutes for birth information were intended to conceal archival, historical material about the American presidency.
This Court should take decisive action before the Court itself becomes a part of a questionable pattern of behavior concerning a document that is obviously relevant to American history.
Petitioner seeks only the facts; he is dedicated solely to the truth. Nothing more. And nothing less.
CONCLUSION
Most respectfully, Petitioner asks that this Court judicially notice the attached article, not for the truth of the contents of the attached report—since the article itself contains conflicting claims—but for the fact that the question of the Hawai'i birth certificate is taking on greater, not diminished, significance for a growing segment of the American people.
Given Hawaii's historical commitment to open records and open history, as exemplified by the Uniform Information Procedures Act and the prior decision of this Court, the time is long past when the historical truth about the birth certificate should be revealed by ordering the release of the archived document.
No one—not a public official, not a judicial officer—should be allowed to play fast and loose with the historical truths of the American people.

Andy Martin calls State of Hawai'i a possible "gangster republic"

Martin says the Hawai'i courts are obstructing access to historical archives concerning President Barack Obama. In a sharply worded petition to the Hawai'i Supreme Court, to be docketed July 9th, Martin recites a history of abuse, harassment and procrastination by Hawai'i judges, clerks and the state's Attorney General. "There is no explanation for the behavior of Hawai'i officials," Martin says, "Unless someone has something to hide."

APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI

INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The question of the authenticity and public availability of the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate of President Barack Obama (hereinafter “Obama”) has become a source of increasing embarrassment for the Hawai’i state government and especially for the Hawai'i judicial system.
Although Obama purportedly posted a "copy" of his birth certificate on his own web site, and others claim to have posted other versions, those documents were not a copy of the original typewritten document but merely a computer-generated "certificate of live birth." To date Obama has refused to allow public access to the official records of the State of Hawaii.
Petitioner is an author and columnist who came to Hawai’i to research Obama’s years in this state. After arriving in Honolulu, Petitioner decided he needed a copy of the original birth certificate, as well as any official files relating to the issuance of said certificate.
The Hawai'i Department of Health has repeatedly and egregiously mischaracterized the Hawai’i statute governing access to birth certificates.
Petitioner filed a lawsuit in the circuit court, where the treatment he received from the court was appallingly mean-spirited and unprofessional. Petitioner then appealed to the Intermediate Court of Appeals ("ICA").
Waiting in ambush at every stage of the proceedings was the Hawai'i Attorney General. That office has sought to use and abuse the judicial system to delay and prevent review of the litigation involving access to Obama's birth certificate.
It should not literally take a "supreme court case" to obtain access to an archival document of American history such as a president's birth certificate.
After full briefing by the petitioner, the ICA dismissed the appeal on the basis that the trial court had failed to enter a final judgment. Thirty years after the U. S. Supreme Court eliminated such jurisdictional gymnastics in federal courts, the Hawai'i court system continues to use dirty tricks and unsavory procedures to delay and deny appellate review. For shame.
This petition raises the question of whether a prior decision of this Court should be brought into conformity with the federal standard, and whether the Attorney General, as a constitutional officer of this Court, should be allowed to use dirty tricks and ambush tactics to create confusion and chaos for appellate litigants and for the appellate judiciary as well.
This is the second time the underlying "birth certificate" issue has reached this Court. Hopefully, there will not be a need for a third visit.

I.
JURISDICTION
This court has jurisdiction of this Petition pursuant to HRS § 602-5 and HRAP 40.1.

II.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE PRESENTED
Should this Court reconsider Jenkins v. Cades Schutte, 76 Haw. 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994) and adopt the federal "waiver" standard created in Bankers Trust v. Mallis, 435 U.S. 381, 98 S. Ct. 1117 (1978)?

III.
PRIOR PROCEEDINGS
The Circuit Judge dismissed this lawsuit with prejudice. Petitioner then filed a timely motion for reconsideration. The judge then denied that motion and Petitioner filed a timely notice of appeal. Petitioner filed his administrative paperwork in the ICA and filed his brief on the merits with that Court.
On June 9th, the ICA dismissed the appeal on the basis of Jenkins, saying that Petitioner's appeal was premature. Petitioner did not learn of this action until June 25th because the Clerk's office disregarded HRAP 35 (d) and failed to fax a copy of the order to someone thousands of miles away. Therefore, Petitioner was prevented from filing a timely petition for reconsideration through no fault of his own.
On the same day that Petitioner learned of the ICA's action (from one of his readers at ContrarianCommentary.com, not the Clerk's office) Petitioner sent a sharply worded letter to Circuit Judge Ayabe.
In response, on June 26th Petitioner received a letter from the Attorney General dated June 26th, purporting to prepare a "final judgment." A copy of the letter is attached hereto. On information and belief, as of this date (July 7, 2009) no judgment has yet been entered by Ayabe or the Clerk.
Petitioner is both asking the ICA to reinstate the appeal and asking this Court to grant a writ of certiorari.

IV.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
It is painfully obvious that circuit judges and clerks are not entering "judgments" in the rote or mechanical manner contemplated by this Court in Jenkins. Six months after entry of a dispositional, appealable order, no judgment exists and, presumably, no right of appeal has yet been triggered.
The proposed "judgment" prepared by the Attorney General appears to have been drafted in bad faith. The proposed judgment appears to clearly violate Rule 54 (a), which states "A judgment shall not contain a recital of pleadings…"

V.
ARGUMENT
Six months after a circuit judge entered a final, appealable order, Petitioner is being told he cannot yet appeal.
Rule 58 is being used to deny appeal, not to facilitate it.
What is strange is that Jenkins suggested "[Rule 58] was not designed as a trap…" But that is how Jenkins is being used.
In the course of litigation in Hawai'i courts, Petitioner has seen numerous instances where this Court follows federal procedure, see e.g. Harada v. Burns, 50 Haw. 528, 445 P.2d 376 (Haw. 1968), Kawamata Farms v. United, 86 Haw. 214, 948 P.2d. 1055 (1997). There are numerous similar ICA citations.
Apparently the only place where Hawai'i law departs from federal procedure is in the case of Rule 58. The Attorney General obviously uses Rule 58 as a "secret" weapon to harass opposing litigants.
The petitioner is not part of the court system. The Attorney General, circuit judge and circuit clerk are all part of the judicial machinery. Yet the Petitioner is being harassed and punished because these three officers of the court system have refused or failed to perform their duties. If this is not abuse and harassment, what is?
For over three decades federal courts have found no problem with Mallis. Jenkins, on the other hand, has proven a failure, when the judge, the clerk and the AG all fail to comply with Rule 58, and the AG and ICA then pop up, jack-in—the-box style, and demand that the petitioner start all over again. Can this nonsense really be in the interests of justice? Does this harassment and abuse of litigants really enhance the prestige of the Hawai'i courts? The answer is apodictic.
Through no fault of his own, Petitioner is being told he is subjected to endless delays in appealing because judicial officers and quasi-judicial officers are refusing and failing to perform their assigned and proper functions. The Civil Rules appear to contemplate that the Clerk enter a judgment, not a party.
Trial court procedure appears to reflect that the prevailing party prepare the order. Yet the AG, which prepared every prior order, suspiciously failed to prepare a judgment, subsequently using the "lack of a judgment" as a potential ambush and trap in the ICA. This is disgraceful behavior by a constitutional officer of the court. As the U. S. Supreme Court said long ago said regarding the Attorney General of the United States, "The [Hawai'i Attorney General] is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty…he is not at liberty to strike foul ones." Berger v. U.S., 295 U.S. 78, 88, 55 S. Ct. 629 (1935). See also State v. Maluia, 107 Haw. 20, 108 P.3rd 974, 982-983 (Haw. 2005)(Acoba, J, concurring); State v. Wong, 97 Haw. 512, 40 P.3rd 914, 929-930 (Haw. 2002).
Rather than being the "servant of the law" contemplated in Berger, the Attorney General has acted as an unscrupulous adversary who sought to use and abuse the judicial system to delay a meritorious appeal.
The record below reflects that Petitioner has treated the circuit judge with the utmost respect. That respect and professional courtesy has not been reciprocated. Now the AG has proposed a "judgment" that looks suspiciously prolix.

CONCLUSION
Is Hawai'i part of the United States? Or is it some gangster republic that manifests contempt for the United States of America? This Court should not have to become embroiled, over and over again, in supervising the release of a simple and obviously archival document of American history.
It is axiomatic that the birth certificate of an American president is a historic document that should be on display in the state archives, not the subject of guttersnipe litigation tactics by the Hawai'i Attorney General.
Unless someone has something to hide.

CONCLUSION
Most respectfully, but with a growing sense of exasperation and frustration, this Court is asked to (i) reconsider Jenkins and adopt the Mallis rule allowing a waiver of Rule 58, to avoid future legerdemain of the type documented in this record, and (ii) either assume jurisdiction of this appeal or direct the ICA to expeditiously hear Petitioner's arguments.

Andy Martin on the Sarah Palin brouhaha

Martin says John McCain defeated himself in 2008. Sarah Palin was not and is not to blame for McCain's incompetence as a presidential candidate.

“Factually Correct, Not
Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

John McCain lost the presidential campaign, not Sarah Palin

Memo to John McCain's anonymous backstabbers: man up

(NEW YORK)(July 8, 2009) One of the last stories in my book, "Obama: The Man Behind the Mask," is a riff on my contact with the Obama and McCain campaigns over a fax number (see pp. 412-413). Obama's people promptly gave me a fax contact. McCain's munchkins were incompetent to manage a fax number. They refused to give one out. That was not a good omen.

Some time in June, 2008 I came to the conclusion that the only way McCain could win was to pick a woman as vice president. It was the natural decision. At the time, Sarah Palin was not on my list. I thought he would go with someone more experienced in national politics. He didn't. He made a bold choice, and that brave decision succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations. But he failed to follow-up and follow-through.

Sarah Palin jump-started and energized more than the Republican "base." She got the electorate to pay attention to a fumbling elderly man who had up to then run a mediocre campaign.

At this point, I stop. Perhaps I am not the right one to be defending Sarah Palin in the wake of her resignation as governor. I am not a particular fan of hers. But perhaps I am a proper person to come to her defense exactly because I am not a wild Palin enthusiast.

Let me blunt: recent Republican efforts to demonize Sarah Palin and to ascribe blame to her for the loss of the McCain-Palin ticket are grossly untrue and unfair.

John McCain lost the presidential election, not Sarah Palin. She did everything that could have been expected of her, and more. He was a worthless candidate, the worst in recent memory.

It is time for McCain to "man up" and tell people he lost the election, not Palin. Using his unhappy campaign workers to stab Palin in the back is wrong.

Yes, Palin was not an expert in national and international affairs. But if McCain was thinking of picking her, why didn't he send a coach up there to Alaska to brief her? Yes, her interviews with national media were weak. But why wasn't she properly briefed by "her staff?"

The senator who created a campaign that couldn’t manage a fax machine (its in my book, yea) became the senator that couldn't really campaign at all. And yet up until the middle of September, McCain was neck and neck with Obama, thanks to the "Palin effect."

Then the senator threw his big hissy fit, suspended his campaign and suggested he would not debate because he had to go to Washington to save the world. Wrong move. He cratered. Obama handled his reaction beautifully. He allowed McCain to self-destruct.

The media themselves documented that there were serious questions about Obama's background and qualifications. I ended up being lashed on Page One by the New York Times as a way of deflecting national concern over Obama's opaque family history. McCain was oblivious. He never raised doubts, even slightly, about Obama's qualifications. The doubts were there; McCain ignored them. Some candidate. He forfeited the election.

McCain demonstrated the competence and subtlety of block of wood, and he deservedly lost. Obama may not have been the better man, but he was indisputably the better candidate. I voted for McCain because I knew what an Obama administration would mean. But it us hard not it look back and realize that John McCain handled the presidency to Barack Obama on a silver platter.

McCain was incapable of assembling a competent campaign staff, although he had two bites of the apple (we often forget his humiliating 2007 campaign collapse, after McCain wasted tens of millions of dollars).

Now in 2009 McCain's losers want to blame Palin. No thank you. I place the blame where the blame is due. If McCain had run a minimally competent campaign for the presidency, and prepared for each step of the process in a minimally coherent fashion, he would be sitting in the White House today. He had six months to pick a vice presidential candidate. Any problems with Palin were McCain's, not Palin's.

Back to Sarah.

I unhesitatingly believe that despite her missteps, Palin was a net plus to the campaign.

But her performance since November, 2008 raises troubling questions. And, yes, whatever her future plans, resigning office in the middle of a term is not a good strategy. Unless.

Unless Palin is negotiating a national media gig, say a TV program, and wants to be free to move her personal life to a national platform without the baggage of managing the state of Alaska. If that turns out to be the case (and no one knows as of today) her premature resignation will be long forgotten by 2010 or 2012.

The claim that Palin resigned because she was subjected to frivolous ethics complaints is insulting to the intelligence. By definition, if a claim is baseless or unsubstantiated, defeating such a complaint should not cost "thousands of dollars" as one conservative publication has suggested. I don't for a minute believe such tommyrot.

If Palin has an as-of-yet-undisclosed plan, or is negotiating a deal for a national TV platform, her resignation makes sense. If she had asked me for advice, however, I would have suggested she make the transition from public official to commentator or
entertainer at the same time, without triggering all of the suspicion and paranoia that filled the 4th of July weekend.

People usually announce decisions on a holiday weekend when they have something to hide (that tactic is a favorite Obama maneuver). By acting as she did when she did, Palin left the impression she had something to hide.

Finally, Palin should have learned one thing from John McCain. The public can accept the occasional lapse or quirky behavior from a national politician. We're all human, and we all make mistakes. But an approach to media and communication that constantly involves herky-jerky behavior will grow old quickly. Whatever her ultimate goal, Palin handled the 4th of July weekend poorly.

Nevertheless, the effort to blame Palin for McCain's loss is unmanly. McCain should publicly apologize to Palin for the abusive behavior of McCain's anonymous backstabbers. McCain's incompetence as a candidate was there for everyone to see. It was so obvious, so early that his deficient campaign management was included in my book, published in July, 2008, and should have come as no surprise to anyone. If anything, McCain's campaign jokers misused and abused Palin, not vice versa.

I don’t agree with Sarah Palin on many issues, but I wish her the best as she goes forward. As for McCain, his incompetence stuck us with Barack Obama and Obama's left-wing posse in control of our nation.

What do you say to McCain? Maybe that John McCain is the one who owes us a continuing apology, not Sarah Palin.
