FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANDY MARTIN, BARACK OBAMA’S MOST INDEFATIGABLE “TRUTH WARRIOR,” FINDS GROWING NATIONAL/MAINLAND INTEREST IN HIS HONOLULU RESEARCH SEEKING DISCLOSURE OF HAWAI’I STATE ARCHIVES

MARTIN CALLS HAWAI’I A “MAFIA STATE” LED BY OFFICIALS WHO ARE CONCEALING VITAL ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN HISTORY

MARTIN NOW PROMISES MORE THAN ONE CONTROVERSIAL “BLOCKBUSTER” DISCLOSURE WHILE HE IS IN THE ALOHA STATE; STAY TUNED

(HONOLULU)(April 30, 2010) Andy Martin’s investigative team set up shop in Honolulu earlier this week and continues to grow as new volunteers arrive from the mainland to aid in investigating Barack Obama’s roots in the Aloha State. Martin says the mainstream media have failed to ask probing questions about Obama’s personal and family history in Hawai’i.

“We are still welcoming new arrivals to aid in our investigation. Very candidly, it’s exciting to have this growing public interest in our work. New volunteers are coming in today from the mainland. It’s not too late for more arrivals from the west coast.” Martin says. “Ironically, recent independent polls orchestrated by mainstream media confirm that public interest remains very high, and growing, concerning our investigative activity on the circumstances of Obama’s birth. The veil of secrecy imposed by Hawai’i officials only whets Americans’ appetites to know what Governor Linda Lingle, Attorney General Mark Bennett and other Democrats are hiding.

“The mainstream media call people who question Obama’s birth ‘birthers,’ and we will be presenting some commentary on that term in an extended series of columns over the weekend. The definition of ‘birther’ is itself in dispute. I have been called the ‘King of the Birthers' even though I have consistently stated I believe Obama was born somewhere in Hawai’i. What is Linda Lingle hiding? And why? To claim that the original ‘ribbon copy’ birth certificate of an American president is a secret document is, with all due respect an absurd position and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. Mark Bennett is just an Obama stooge doing Obama’s bidding in hiding the truth about Obama’s opaque origins in Hawai’i.

“Hawai’i is a virtual ‘Mafia State’ in which vital archives of American history have been concealed from the American people. Punahou School should also make its own Obama archive available to scholars and writers.

“The fact that real Americans are willing to fly to Hawai’i and put themselves up at their own expense to volunteer in our field investigations tells you something about enduring interest in the secret cache of documents Hawaii leaders and educators are concealing from the American people,” Martin says.

Martin will hold a Honolulu news conference later today to announce the filing of a new lawsuit against Hawai’i officials, seeking to expose the “cover-up of the cover-up” concerning Barack Obama’s original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate.

Martin is available by cell phone while in Hawai’i (917) 664-9329.

HONOLULU NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY: Ultimatum to Governor, Attorney General over Obama secrecy

Obama author, researcher and film producer Andy Martin will hold a news conference in Honolulu today, April 30th, and then march to the governor’s office to demand that Hawai’i officials open their archives to public scrutiny. Martin will file suit against Hawai’i officials next week if they continue to conceal Obama’s state archives.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF HONOLULU NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY, APRIL 30TH

ANDY MARTIN WILL DELIVER A FINAL DEMAND TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THEN MARCH TO THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE IN HONOLULU TODAY

MARTIN SAYS HIS EFFORTS TO FORCE RELEASE OF OBAMA’S HAWAI’I ARCHIVES HAVE “CAPTURED THE ATTENTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE”

(HONOLULU)(April 30, 2010) Andy Martin says that Hawai’i leaders must stop “stonewalling” America’s citizens. Martin will hold a news conference today in Honolulu as the last stop before he files a new lawsuit against Hawai’i officials. “Nearly half the population has doubts about Barack Obama’s ‘origins,’” Martin says. “That is not my ‘poll.’ That is the result of polls by independent mainstream media. But no one except me is asking Hawai’i officials the hard questions and no one but me is suing Hawai’i officials to force them to disgorge the truth.

“Mark Bennett’s claim that he and Lingle can impose ‘executive privilege’ which is ‘executive secrecy,’ on the entire State of Hawaii’s internal communications is a joke. There is no support for such a claim in Hawai’i law, and specifically none in the UIPA which governs freedom of information issues in Hawai’i. Bennett is acting as an Obama stooge, waiting for his payoff for concealing vital information from the American people.

“I was flabbergasted when Bennett stonewalled my UIPA [Hawai’i Uniform Information Procedures Act] request. He sat on it for over 6 months, and then delivered nothing but a pile of nonsense, for which he demanded $600 in advance. What arrogance, what contempt for the American people, what an insult to American history. Either Hawai’i officials are concealing Obama’s records because they are crooks or jerks. Which is it?

“Today, April 30th, I am going to give Mr. Bennett a final opportunity to obey Hawai’i law before I file suit, and I am then going to march to the Governor’s office and deliver a request to meet with her over Obama’s files and the legislature’s new ‘birther law.’ The American people want answers about Barack Obama’s history in this state. It is high time Hawai’i officials started providing them, and stopped stonewalling. They are making a mockery of our nation,” Martin says.

[IMPORTANT NOTE: This new lawsuit is not a duplicate of Andy Martin’s original Hawai’i lawsuit seeking access to Barack Obama’s birth certificate itself. Martin will have more to say about that lawsuit next week.]

“Birther Brigade” lands in Honolulu to continue Barack Obama investigation

Andy Martin’s team sets up a “fighting camp” to continue looking into President Barack Obama’s opaque family history in Hawai’i. Martin plans to file a second lawsuit against Hawai’i officials this week, a “freedom of information” case exposing their conspiracy to promote Obama’s candidacy in 2008 and cover up their activity. Martin calls himself a “truth warrior,” based on his continuing efforts to open Obama’s personal records to public scrutiny and scholarly research.

ANDY MARTIN, BARACK OBAMA’S MOST INDEFATIGABLE “TRUTH WARRIOR,” ESTABLISHES A “FIGHTING CAMP” IN HONOLULU

MARTIN PROMISES A CONTROVERSIAL “BLOCKBUSTER” DISCLOSURE WHILE HE IS IN THE ALOHA STATE; STAY TUNED

(HONOLULU)(April 28, 2010) Andy Martin’s investigative team has set up shop in Honolulu and has begun its latest round of investigations into Barack Obama’s personal and family history in Hawai’i.

“One of the inescapable facts about Barack Obama is that he went to school in Hawai’i, and that those records have been sealed by Mr. Obama,” Martin says. “Mr. Obama’s original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate has been sealed, while Hawai’i officials continue to orchestrate an elaborate conspiracy to promote Obama and prevent archival information from being reviewed by scholars.

“But, ultimately, the joke is on Obama, and an even crueler joke is on Hawai’i state officials.

“As to Obama, he has undermined his credibility by his persistent secrecy. Need I say more? I predicted all of this years ago. Obama is self-destructing. ‘Messiah’ is becoming just a ‘mess.’

“As for Hawai’i officials, they are groveling to Obama in a disgraceful campaign of abasement, hoping to lure the great messiah into putting his ‘presidential library’ in Honolulu. Obama relentless and limitless appetite for self-aggrandizement calls for more dramatic horizons. No doubt he will want his ‘library’ smack in the middle of the Mall in Washington.

“But the deeper we dig into Obama’s past, the more questions we discover. I must point out that independent scholarly research is often tedious, time-consuming and difficult. When I came to Hawai’i in 2008, no other media has ever undertaken what we did. They had merely accepted Obama’s propaganda at face value. The only Hawai’i coverage we saw prior to my arrival was Obama half-naked in the surf. I was the first independent investigative writer to dig into Obama’s past here. I am the only writer who has come back over and over, and kept digging for the truth and trying to find the facts.

“I believe there is only one set of facts. But often lost in the hubub is that there is also only one set of legal principles that governs eligibility to serve as president.” Martin says.

ANDY MARTIN, BARACK OBAMA’S MOST INDEFATIGABLE “TRUTH WARRIOR,” IS ALSO ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST EXPERIENCED ROAD WARRIORS

MARTIN PROMISES A “BLOCKBUSTER” DISCLOSURE WHILE HE IS IN HONOLULU; STAY TUNED

(HONOLULU)(LOS ANGELES-LAX)(April 27, 2010) Andy Martin’s connecting flight to Honolulu was delayed earlier today because of a medical emergency involving another passenger. “I thought we were having an unexpectedly bumpy flight,” Martin says. “And then I looked around and saw we had not even left the ground. Someone got sick, we went back to the gate, and my connection went ‘poof.’ We have set up a temporary ‘fighting camp’ at Los Angeles airport until we can make the afternoon connection to Hawaii.”

“I would like to ask my readers what they think a ‘birther’ is. Obama’s left-wing media thugs have called me the 'King of the Birthers,’ even though I deny being a birther. Some birthers say anyone who seeks access to Obama’s birth records, as I do, is a ‘birther.’ I believe the term is more particularly directed at people who believe Obama was born in Kenya. What’s your opinion? Is I is, or is I not?

“My research leads me to believe BHO was born in Hawai’i. That's my view. The issue of where he was born, of course, is entirely separate from the constitutional question of whether was/is a ‘natural born’ citizen. That is why I am suing Hawai’i officials to open the original typewritten 1961 birth certificate to public scrutiny. What information does that typewritten document have to guide our research?

“I have to admit, moreover, that there are a lot of loopholes through which Obama could have obtained a 1961 birth certificate without actually being born there. Those ‘gaps’ or loopholes are what fuel birther speculation. This is also why I have urged President Obama and Hawai’i officials to stop their charade and open the original 1961 certificate to public view. Obama is destroying his own administration by playing word games with the American people.

“As for myself, I have reluctantly accepted Obama’s view that I am a ‘King,’ and perhaps I will be 'crowned' in Honolulu as Hawaii’s new monarch while I am there. The state seems to long for a return to royalty. Well, ‘here I am.’ It’s as close to royalty as I am likely to get in this life, ditto for Hawaiians.

“And so, I invite reader comments, and even invite Obama’s media mujahidden to respond to these remarks, by sending me their definition of a ‘birther.’ Am I a birther for seeking access to a Hawai’i document? Do you have to believe Obama was born in Kenya to be a birther? Just what is a birther?

“I should point out that the birth certificate controversy has entered the American consciousness. I was reading the comic page the other day and what did I see, a spoof of the birther controversy (Prickly City). Subliminally, people are concerned. There is something about Obama’s secrecy that makes even his sycophants uneasy.

“I have done a lot of thinking and a lot of research and a lot of studying into the overall search for the ‘truth’ about the mysterious Mr. Obama’s ‘origins.’ I expect to make a blockbuster announcement while I am in Honolulu.

“This will be our longest and most detailed investigation into Obama’s Hawai’i past since we became the first (and only) media organization to investigate Obama's footprints in Honolulu in 2008. We will be scoring Hawai’i for any record we can find, while encouraging the Punahou School to open its records to public review. Secrecy leads inevitably to the view Obama has something to hide.

“Why is he concealing his high school records at Punahou? No reasonable public official would do that. All of Obama’s paperwork, at Punahou, Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard law School are now the archival documents of American history. Why is he so secretive? I keep trying to find out.

“Operation Aloha Obama IV launches in hours. The first elements of the ‘Birther Brigade’ will be landing. Some of our local operatives are already in place,” Martin says.

RE: State funeral for Sidewalk Slaying Victim Hugo Tale-Yax


Dear Mayor Bloomberg:

I am writing to ask that you consider providing a state (i.e. city) funeral for Hugo Tale-Yax, the Good Samaritan who was the victim of a sidewalk slaying when he came to the assistance of a crime victim in Queens.

None of who grew up in the 1960’s can forget Kitty Genovese’s murder. The indifference of neighbors was appalling. Today, in the modern era, we have surveillance tapes to document neighborly indifference.

The conscience of the city must be awakened if the shame of the city is to be avoided.

The indomitable spirit of New York has always mixed commerce with charity and compassion. Cathedrals of commerce exist, sometimes easily, sometimes uneasily, in tandem with cathedrals that call us to worship. Ms. Genovese was assaulted and murdered by a violent monster at a time of growing indifference and alienation in the 1960’s. We cannot allow that attitude to return. We can’t even allow an attitude of indifference to go unnoticed by the Mayor.

Ten years ago New York was draped with banners proclaiming the city the “Capital of the World.” Today New York is known for being the headquarters of the relentless, limitless greed of Goldman Sachs & Co., a firm that plunders the nation and impoverishes Main Streets across America so that a handful of corporate ghouls led by Lloyd Blankfein can be obscenely wealthy. Goldman’s spectacular indifference to the commonweal may help foster a community attitude where people ignore a dying man on a city sidewalk. Goldman greed certainly does not help.

I don’t know if Mr. Tale-Yax’s family has made funeral arrangements. I am sure they do not have the resources to honor Mr. Tale-Yax the way New Yorkers should honor him.

Not every homeless person who dies is entitled to public recognition. Likewise, not every Good Samaritan should receive your awareness. But I believe a Good Samaritan who is killed while rendering assistance should receive special attention. Mr. Tale-Yax should be as honored in death as he was ignored during his brief life.

Over the past thirty years I have participated in soup kitchens tending to the hungry and homeless and other aspects of community ministry. As an adjunct professor within the CUNY system I helped to educate immigrants in the 1980’s. I have always been available to my various parishes to assist with problems that arise in rendering constant assistance to those in need. How dozens of people could walk past a man who was stricken is simply beyond comprehension. It is abhorrent. What hearts beat in these persons? What spirits do they have? Their callous behavior is an anathema to every religious tradition bar none.

In church yesterday I witnessed a small miracle. One of our very regular parishioners who is seriously ill, and alone, reappeared. Yet he is not alone because he has become part of a community of faith. We care for him and care about him. No one cared for Mr. Tale-Yax until it was too late. I can't speak for every church but many pay special attention to the hungry and homeless. I know mine does. People who are homeless are often helpless. But we are not helpless as a society.

I don't know the personal circumstances of Mr. Tale-Yax’s life, but the details are irrelevant. When he saw someone in distress he answered the call of the Good Samaritan. His humanity rose above his homelessness and helplessness. Sadly, he paid with his life.

I am hopeful that you will also encourage Commissioner Kelly to throw every available resource into apprehending the perpetrator.

In the meantime, I believe you would honor all New Yorkers if you directed that the city provide an official (I use the term “state” colloquially, without suggesting the State of New York has to be involved) funeral to Mr. Tale-Yax. Mr. Tale-Yax’s life and death should be a reminder to the living, that indifference imposes a lifetime sentence of complicity on whose who stand by and do nothing when a human being is in need. The stain must be removed. Only you can take the official action to restore community honor.

It seems that we are forgetting or have forgotten the deep moral truths long embedded in our consciousness by the death of Kitty Genovese. Perhaps every generation must be reminded. Mr. Tale-Yax calls us to remember and renew our commitment to humanity and respect for those who perish in service to another person. I am sure Kitty Genovese would agree.

Respectfully submitted,


ANDY MARTIN

Countdown to Honolulu - Three Days

Andy Martin says The Associated Press is publishing erroneous claims about President Obama

Three days before he lands in Honolulu, Obama author, researcher and motion picture producer Andy Martin has asked the CEO of The Associated Press to open an investigation into whether the AP is disseminating erroneous and misleading information about Barack Obama’s personal history. The letter to Tom Curley is self-explanatory. “Andy’s Armada,” led by “King of the Birthers” Martin, lands in Honolulu on April 27th to continue investigating Obama’s “roots” in the Aloha State

New York, NY 10001

Re: Accurate reporting on Barack Obama

Dear Mr. Curley:

I would like to bring to your attention instances of apparently inaccurate reporting by the Associated Press, and ask that you (i) open an investigation into past errors as well as (ii) adopting internal guidelines as to future reporting.

You are aware, of course, of the controversy concerning Barack Obama’s missing 1961 birth certificate. Mainstream media have tried to lump everyone who challenges Obama’s place of birth into the status of “birther.” That is an inaccurate characterization.

I am not a birther, but I do accuse Obama of concealing his original, 1961 typewritten Hawai’i birth certificate. The laser-printed facsimile he released in 2008 is by no means a “copy” of the 1961 document. The typewritten original form contained considerably more detailed information and would/could answer questions that remain about Obama’s birth.

Unlike most birthers, I accept that Obama was born in Hawai’i, but I cannot explain what information he is trying to hide by refusing to release the original certificate.

On April 23rd, the New York Post carried an AP story that said “Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed Obama is a natural-born American citizen.” This is a false statement of fact.

Hawai’i officials have confirmed that they have an original 1961 birth document, as well as a database entry from which they issued the 2008 laser-printed document, confirming Obama’s birth in Hawai’i. They have done nothing more.

The term “natural-born citizen” is a constitutional term of art that appears in the United States Constitution. The term applies only to the office of president. The term “natural-born” had a definite and distinct meaning at the time the Constitution was adopted. Hawai’i would have no way of knowing if Obama was “natural-born” because “natural born” encompasses more than mere physical presence in the United States or information entered in a public health record.

I was originally skeptical of the “natural-born” issue but I have become increasingly convinced that Obama is not “natural born” and that he is ineligible to hold the office of president. At a minimum, “natural born” requires that in addition to U. S. birth, both parents of a president must be American citizens. Obama’s putative father (as opposed to the person I believe was actually Obama’s biological father, Frank Marshall Davis) was admittedly not a U. S. Citizen. He was a Kenyan.

Despite my growing belief Obama is not natural born and is thus ineligible to hold the office of president, I have also expressed skepticism that he can be removed except through the electoral process.

I turn now to the issue of Obama’s “Kenyan birth.” I do not believe that Obama was born in Kenya, but tens of millions of Americans do. One of the grounds for that belief is a 2004 AP story datelined Kenya that said Obama was Kenyan-born. Obama was a candidate for U. S. Senator at the time and the “natural-born” test obviously did not apply.

The “Kenyan-born” AP story from Kenya may have slipped past AP editors in New York in 2004, but it is time for the AP to issue a correction and formally retract the 2004 story if you have not done so already. If you fail to retract the Kenyan-birth story, the AP gives continuing credence to those who believe Obama is a Kenyan citizen and ineligible to serve as president. I am sure you do not want to do that.

I will be arriving in Honolulu on April 27th to continue my research into Barack Obama’s “roots” in Hawai’i (please see my blogs for details, www.ContrarianCommentary.blogspot.com, www.ContrarianCommentary.wordpress.com, www.ContrarianCommentary.typepad.com, www.ContrarianCommentary.com). Many questions remain unanswered and many facts have never been verified.

Although I frequently criticize Barack Obama politically, I have always remained scrupulously honest and impartial in my efforts to find the facts and to search for the truth about his personal history, including missing college and law school records. There is much that we still do not know about the mysterious Mr. Obama.

Mainstream media have tried to “kill” the birther explosion. They did it in 2008, and failed. They did it in 2009, and failed again. The birther issue is burning with even greater intensity in 2010. Polls confirm that fact. I could go further, but will stop here for security reasons.

On the other hand, since Obama’s media mujahideen have called me the “King of the Birthers,” I have tongue-in-cheek chosen to accept the title since it is as close to royalty as I am likely to get in this life.

AP has the duty to be scrupulously accurate in its reports about President Obama. I hope you agree, and will look into the foregoing criticisms I have sent you.

Please let me have your thoughts.

With best wishes,

Andy Martin slams CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s pro-Obama bias

Andy Martin says that CNN and Anderson Cooper are trying to deceive the American people concerning the facts related to Barack Obama’s missing birth certificate

CNN’s Anderson Cooper is a media fraud

Who keeps Anderson Cooper honest?

“Factually Correct, Not Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Why is Anderson Cooper misleading his audience?

(NEW YORK)(April 23, 2010) Anderson Cooper has a segment he calls “Keeping Them Honest” on his CNN show “Anderson Cooper 360”. But who keeps Anderson Cooper honest? Apparently no one.

Wednesday evening I was surfing the cable channels and came up with an Anderson Cooper 360 discussion of Barack Obama’s missing birth certificate.

Cooper was shamelessly pro-Obama. His segment on the birth certificate had as “guests” two individuals who are also shamelessly pro-Obama. Roland Martin is seemingly on Obama’s payroll as well as CNN’s. John Avlon is a militant anti-conservative. No one spoke for the American people.

Cooper led off the pro-Obama roll by saying that Obama was the victim of “false internet rumors.” While there is no question that some unscrupulous individuals have disseminated false claims about Obama, I have constantly fought for the facts and searched for the truth. In other words, Cooper focuses on the discredited writers while ignoring those who have fought for full disclosure by President Obama.

Cooper suggested that Hawai’i officials had verified Obama’s identity. But what kind of “verification” has Hawai’i produced when half the American people don’t believe them? Hawai’i officials have even covered up their coverup of the birth certificate dispute. In a letter to me the Hawai’i Attorney General has claimed “executive privilege” for his advice to Governor Linda Lingle on Obama’s birth certificate. Hello?

I am hoping to file a suit to expose the coverup when I arrive in Honolulu next week.

So what are the facts, what is the bottom line?

1. The Founding fathers created a special test for president. The president had to be a “natural born” citizen. The term “natural born” is found nowhere else in the Constitution. Two hundred years ago the term “natural born” had a clear constitutional meaning. The founders knew what they were doing when they added the natural born requirement to the presidency.

2. Obama has constantly played word games with his birth certificate. Hawai’i officials have constantly reaffirmed they have the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate. But they refuse to release it. Instead, they have issued a laser printout from a data base. That is not a copy of the 1961 original. The 1961 original had much more detailed information on it; it is that missing detail from the typewritten original that Obama is trying to hide.

3. By his own admission Obama is not constitutionally eligible to serve as president. His father was not an American citizen; he may not have even a permanent resident. He was a visiting student. “Natural born” requires that both parents be Americans. Obama admits he fails to meet the constitutional test. He is a usurper.

4. Obama is an “American citizen” even though he is not a natural born citizen. There is no doubt in my mind that Obama was born in Hawai’i. I have never seen any credible evidence to the contrary. But it is not enough to be an American citizen to be elected president. You must be a natural born citizen. Obama fails the test which was adopted by the founding fathers precisely to weed out people like Obama who were born with dual nationality (United Kingdom [Kenyan colony] and United States).

5. These facts are straightforward and largely undisputed. Why won’t Anderson Cooper put CNN’s legal expert, Jeff Toobin, and me together to debate the “natural citizen” clause of the Constitution? Because Cooper is peddling a lie to his audience. Cooper is promoting Obama’s frauds and fantasies, intended to keep Obama in the White House when he is not constitutionally eligible to be there. Cooper may claim that he “keeps others straight,” but he fails to keep himself straight.

Instead, the mainstream media keep mainlining Obama snake oil into the veins of the American people. Well, guess what? Americans are smarter than the media and Obama. Americans now realize they elected a fraud in 2008, and they can’t wait to serve Barack Obama with his moving papers.

NOTE: Obama is also concealing his college records at Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Since Obama’s law school education may have been financed in part by Saudi Arabian Wahhabi cash funneled to him through Khalid Al-Mansour, he obviously has a reason to conceal that information. And until and unless Obama tells the American people the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about his past we have every right to question him, to be suspicious of him and to keep searching for the truth.

Countdown to Honolulu: “Birther King” Andy Martin lands in less than four days

Andy Martin, who has been attacked by Barack Obama’s media mujahideen as the “King of the Birthers,” is set to land in Honolulu in less than four days to (1) lobby the Hawai’i legislature not to impose new secrecy laws on Obama’s family history and (2) to continue his ongoing investigation into Obama’s Hawai’i history. Martin has written a bestselling book on Obama, “Obama: The Man Behind the Mask,” and produced the new film “Obama: The Hawai’i years.” Martin is not in fact a “birther.” He has consistently stated he believes BHO was born in Honolulu. “But it’s the closest I am going to come to royalty,” Martin says, “so if I irritate the hard left and they call me a ‘king,’ oh well, I can live with that.” Martin will establish his “fighting camp” in Honolulu on April 27th.

Anderson Cooper of CNN will be exposed as a media fraud later today

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

(NEW YORK)(April 23, 2010) Barack Obama’s multimedia nemesis, Andy Martin, will arrive in Honolulu in less than four days to establish a new “fighting camp” to lobby Hawai’i legislators and to continue his investigation into President Obama’s “roots” in Honolulu. Martin wrote the only bestselling book on Obama by a Chicago corruption expert. Martin also produced the first movie on Obama’s “Hawai’i Years.” Although Andy is definitely not a “birther,” Obama’s media mujahideen call Martin the “King of the Birthers” to link him with people who they want to parody.

“We are excited to be less than four (4) days to touchdown in
Honolulu,” Martin says. “We will be lobbying the Hawai’i legislature to stop new ‘Obama secrecy law.’ If funds are available, we will file a new lawsuit to stop the coverup by Hawai’i officials of their attempts to politically bolster Obama’s hidden past. And yes, Linda Lingle, has been a part of this cover-up. We are seeking a face-to-face meeting with Governor Lingle.

“We will be shooting new tape on Obama’s ohana in Honolulu. And, finally, of course, we will be continuing the rigorous independent scholarly research into his past that drives Obama batty.

“Obama is the biggest political phony in American history. He is a shameless conjurer who bamboozled his way into the White House, and wants to stay there. He and his White House mujahideen are a threat to every American, to our Constitution, and to America’s role as a world leader.

“I am happy to announce that we have gradually upgraded our video availability. Viewers can now see the most controversial media moment in the 2008 presidential campaign, my ‘outing’ of Obama on Sean Hannity’s America. We have also linked to other interviews and my new movie. We are expanding our multimedia efforts to expose Obama’s lies (see websites below).

“And, as always, we will rely on our special agents and ‘secret army;’ people around the world have aided our efforts and contributed to our investigations. We have a growing ‘cell’ of supporters in Honolulu. They have provided invaluable assistance as we continue to unravel the truth about the mysterious Mr. Obama.

“We are the ‘antivenin’ to the snake oil being mainlined into the American people by the mainstream media.

“Aloha Hawai’i! ContrarianCommentary.com is on the way. America, Operation Aloha Obama IV launches less than four days.”

Martin will issue an attack on CNN’s “birther fraud” later today (April 23), when he exposes Anderson Cooper for misleading his audience the Obama birth certificate controversy on April 21st.

Obama’s two biggest opponents, Rush Limbaugh and Andy Martin, at opposite ends of the same restaurant

Andy and Rush end up in the same dining room at the same time entirely by coincidence

Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

(April 19, 2010) If only Barack Obama’s dirty tricks operatives had known, they could have dropped a bunker buster on a small restaurant Monday night and wiped out Obama’s two biggest opponents: Rush Limbaugh and me.

Rush rides herd on Obama every day. And me? I am the one who does the field research, and fights for the facts about Obama’s hidden birth records in Honolulu and Chicago.

The hard left calls me the “King of the Birthers” even though I am not a “birther.” Yet. Still, name-calling by Obama’s thugs is probably as close to royalty as I am likely to get in this lifetime.

Well, I had plans to attend a dinner Monday night. I finished up my errands early, stopped at the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and headed for the restaurant. I paid for my dinner ticket and stood at the bar watching my friends and acquaintances come in.

As I was watching the door, who should appear on the sidewalk but El Rushbo himself, dressed in black. He was waiting for someone. I mentioned to my friends that he was out on the sidewalk and one went to say hello. Initially I didn’t know if Rush was attending our dinner or dining alone.

Rush eventually came inside and headed for the other end of the bar where he sat with his latest lovely. They were a quiet couple.

Limbaugh and I have never met. But our paths are always crossing. He does a great job taking Obama to task. As for my efforts, you be the judge.

When the cocktail hour was over I headed for the other end of the small dining room where our event was taking place. And so, at one end of the room there was Obama critic Rush Limbaugh. And at the other end, why the King of the Birthers himself.

Small world.

If only Obama’s goons had known in advance. They could have taken out two third of Obama’s leading opponents with one blow.

Back tomorrow with another blow for truth, justice and against “the Obama Way.”

“Birther” doubts continue to plague Barack Obama

Obama author and film producer Andy Martin explains why President Obama is so sensitive to questions about his “origins” in Hawai’i: Obama may not be constitutionally eligible to serve as president. Martin is the producer/director of the film “Obama: The Hawai’i Years,
” and the bestselling book “Obama: The Man Behind The Mask.” Martin is scheduled to begin a new investigation and new litigation in Hawai’i involving Obama’s birth records on April 27th. Andy is called the “King of the Birthers” by Obama’s diehard supporters.

Obama faces new “birther” explosions across the United States

The American people increasingly have doubts about Barack Obama’s “legitimacy”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin is preparing to land in Hawai’i to launch new investigations into Barack Obama’s missing birth certificate.

A new firestorm is exploding over President Obama’s obscure origins, just as Andy heads to Honolulu

Martin is pressing lawsuits to open Obama’s Hawai'i state archives to public inspection

“King of the Birthers” Andy Martin explains why Americans increasingly doubt Barack Obama’s birth “tales”

(NEW YORK)(April 18, 2010) During the 1992 presidential campaign Bill Clinton had a team whose purpose was to control “bimbo eruptions.” If only we had known then what Bill had in store for us.

Barack Obama had a similar problem in 2008, and his problem is still going viral two years later: “birther eruptions.” Obama had a smear team in 2008 seeking to destroy the reputation of anyone who questioned his birth.

As the man who has been called the “King of the Birthers” by the hard left, although I am not a birther, yet, I am amazed at how “Obama the Great Persuader” has been unable persuade the American people he is even an American.

The latest birther eruption occurred this weekend and found the Mayor of Champaign, Illinois on the home page of the Chicago Tribune expressing doubts about Obama’s origins:

Earlier, U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Terry Lakin became the latest military officer exposing himself to court marital for refusing to accept orders from someone he believes is a pseudo-Commander-In-Chief:

http://www.myfoxny.com/dpps/news/dpgoh-
outspoken-terry-lakin-facing-army-court-martial-fc-20100416_7095880

Mainstream media ignored the “birther” issue in 2008 and they continue to ignore the issue today at their own peril. Fox news’ Bill O’Reilly said Friday night birther eruptions help Obama. Obama thinks they help him. I don’t think so. Obama and O’Reilly are wrong.

Let me explain.

First, why am I called the “King of the Birthers?” by the hard left? Six years ago I began to question Barack Obama’s life story. In 2004 I called him a liar. I am Chicago tough, and I know a Chicago liar when I see one. Obama is a Chicago liar. From ear-to-ear. Later, I kept investigating, kept writing and kept asking the hard questions. In response, Obama created a "smear squad" to attack me. I unleashed an international search for Obama’s real roots. I was the first to disclose Obama was born with dual nationality, a fact he initially denied and later admitted.

I filed the first (and to date, only) lawsuit in the Hawai’i courts seeking to obtain access to the original, typewritten 1961 copy of his alleged birth in Hawai’i.

Second, why am I not a birther? Yet. Despite being called King Birther, I have never claimed Obama was born in Kenya. In fact, I have not found any credible evidence to sustain that argument. The term “birther” is a label invented by the mainstream media to smear anyone who is troubled by the opacity of Obama’s family history and particularly who believes Obama was born in Kenya.

All of us have to produce birth records regularly, to obtain a passport, to obtain identification, and for many other mundane purposes. Obama has never released his original typewritten 1961 certificate. In the words of the Mayor of Champaign, "What is he hiding?" Instead, in typically "Obamaesque" fashion, Obama has made a game of his original birth certificate, claiming he released it while not actually doing so. The “certificate” Obama released was not a copy of the 1961 document; it was merely a laser printout from a state database. The 1961 certificate contains a great deal more detailed information that Obama does not want us to see.

Hawai’i officials have sought to bolster Obama politically, while refusing to make his original records available for inspection.

That is why I am pressing my lawsuit in Hawai’i to open state archives. I am also threatening the state with a second lawsuit this month for covering up state records (go to my blogs below to read a detailed history of my efforts in earlier columns).

Third, what have I said to Obama over the past six years? I warned Obama that by concealing the original 1961 certificate he was destroying his own credibility with the American people. Obama and his supporters have claimed he was born in at least two different hospitals, but he refuses to authorize release of the hospital records to confirm which one. Why? More mystery. More word games. More doubts.

In 2009 I told Obama the “birther’ controversy would not go away, and it would come back to haunt him when he was at his weakest politically. Not a bad prediction, huh? Despite the fact that the hard left tries to make birthers into a joke on late-night TV, public doubts about Obama’s origins will not go away; they are persistent. They are increasing. And, quietly, they are devastating Obama.

Let me state my view in no uncertain terms: the birth concerns of the American people are completely legitimate. The Mayor of Champaign is right. If Obama won’t produce his original birth certificate, what is he hiding?

Mr. Obama is a man of mystery in many other ways. He won’t release employment records from the job he held in New York City. He won’t release his college records from Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard law School. Again, what is he hiding?

Bill O'Reilly is correct in one respect. Obama uses the “birthers” to agitate Obama’s political base on the hard left. But O’Reilly misses the larger picture (as do Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and others). Obama is losing the American people, in part because of “birther” questions.

Last summer there was a massive “birther” eruption. This spring, the resistance is again spreading. By the time birther doubts have filtered down to the Mayor of Champaign, Illinois you know the American people have serious concerns.

In the short run, Obama is being Obamaesque. In the long run, Obama is engaging in the same kind of egomaniacal, self-destructive behavior that ultimately sabotaged Bill Clinton. Obama is lying to the American people.

Fourth, what is Obama afraid of? Obama is concerned that while he may be an American citizen (which I believe he is, but most birthers do not) he may not be a “natural born” American citizen eligible to serve as president. "Natural born" is a highly technical term that specifically applies only to the office of president, not to senators and representatives. Who was it that said “words have meaning?” Why none other that the fake “law perfesser” Barack Obama himself. Words do have meaning.

The “natural born citizen” requirement adopted in 1789 meant you could be physically born in the United States and still not be a “natural born” citizen eligible to be president if both of your parents were not citizens as well. Obviously, the Constitutional Convention imposed a higher and more technical requirement for eligibility to serve as president. There is serious doubt Obama satisfies that condition.

I am on both sides of the natural born issue (watch for our new video coming in a few days explaining this issue). If Barack Obama’s father is Barack Obama, as most people accept, then Barrack Obama is almost certainly not a natural born citizen as contemplated by the United States Constitution. He is indeed what many people call him: ineligible to be president. He is a usurper.

On the other hand, I believe Barack Obama's father was indeed an American citizen, Frank Marshall Davis, of Honolulu. If I am correct, Obama is “natural born.” It has always been my belief that the “Kenyan” claims for his family are a complete fantasy that were orchestrated by Obama’s mother to shield his illegitimate birth. Interestingly, Obama has never denied my Frank Marshall Davis claims.

Finally, whether Barack Obama or Frank Davis is the presidential daddy, the president was born “illegitimate,” as they called it in 1961, or “nonmarital,” as we say today. Both “fathers” were already married, another fact that the hard left tries to conceal. Barack Obama’s illegitimacy is what gnaws at his psyche and makes him such an increasingly pretentious and obnoxious human being in the eyes of the American people. No amount of pomp and power will ever satisfy his eternally struggling ego.

If you would like to help uncover the secrets of Barack Obama’s hidden identity, please make a contribution (see below for online donations). We are trying to raise money for a new trip to Honolulu later this month, to fight Hawai’i officials for release of Obama’s original hospital and birth certificate documents. We need more financial support to launch the mission, so please consider donating.

Andy Martin: Obama is creating a new “homosexual Roe v. Wade” for Republicans and conservatives in November

Obama author, film producer and investigator Andy Martin says that President Obama’s imposition of gay rights on every American hospital will become the gift that keeps on giving for Republicans in the 2010 election. Obama is roiling the American people just as Martin, the Founding Father of anti-Obama movement, prepares to open a new investigation into Obama’s past in Honolulu.

Barack Obama is going to systematically and single-handedly demolish the Democratic party, Andy Martin predicts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin explains how Barack Obama is deconstructing the Democratic Party and ensuring a Republican landslide in November

Martin says Obama has crated a “homosexual Roe v. Wade” by acting as a national dictator to impose gay rights on American hospitals

“Well, there he goes again” Andy says of Barry Obama, the man Andy has been exposing since 2004

Does anyone remember health reform? Or is gay rights a better topic for political debate?

(NEW YORK)(April 16, 2010) A quarter of a century ago I was studying at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York to be a priest in the Episcopal Church. I knew one of my classmates causally. One day we learned he was ill at Lenox Hill Hospital. Another classmate and I went to pray with our ill brother.

I can’t remember the exact sign on the door, but it was some sort of intimidating warning, maybe with a bright red letter alert to enter carefully. He had AIDS.

It was a heart breaking experience to share my friend’s illness and grief. In the 1980’s, AIDS was a death sentence. Physicians did not understand the condition; ordinary people had even less comprehension.

My friend Adrian Dumont had been abandoned by his family. As we helped Adrian, my other friend and I died a little each day alongside him. We chose to share his fate because we could not allow him to die alone. My second friend, Paul, and I attended to Adrian’s legal needs. We had to protect Adrian’s rights, to be sure his home was still there for him, and we also attended to many other aspects of helping a dying colleague prepare for the inevitable.

Neither my personal morality nor my Christian beliefs would allow me to abandon someone in need, whether their affliction was AIDS or something else.

I still belong to the Episcopal Church, even as it becomes an increasingly loopy place to be because of an obsession with sexuality to the exclusion of Christianity. I have friends who are gay priests; I accept them because they both openly acknowledge their status and also understand the proper and practical role of limiting their personal actions in the theological environment.

I did leave one Episcopal parish when the rector went berserk and wanted to make his church a gay Mecca. That was too much for me. The rector’s gay politics quickly overshadowed the Christianity of the place.

Over the years my attitudes on homosexuality have evolved. Based on my experiences ministering to Adrian Dumont I think my views on how we should treat human beings are actually close to President Obama’s. I believe gay couples have a right to the same treatment as others in the medical/hospital context.

In the conflict between homosexuality and religion, Christ tugs at both of our sleeves. Some Christians strongly believe Christ condemns homosexuality in every aspect of its existence. But Christ also teaches love and forgiveness. Correlating and rationalizing these two competing views is not always easy.

But the fact that my views on voluntary and private treatment of homosexual couples in the medical context would qualify as “liberal” does not mean that I am not a Republican, and a conservative Republican where many aspects of public policy and politics are concerned. I recognize and respect the inevitable and necessary disconnect between personal views and politics, between my own opinions and their imposition on everyone as public policy.

I have no problem with Representative Barney Frank. He is open about his sexuality. You can take him or leave him as you please.

But I also did not have a problem earlier this year exposing the virtually unanimous belief of Illinois Republican leaders and media that U. S. Senate candidate Mark Kirk is a closeted homosexual. Closeting in the public arena raises deeply challenging issues. The liberal media and Kirk's fellow travelers in the gay-dominated Illinois Republican Party apparatus attacked me for raising legitimate questions about Kirk. I merely pointed out that almost everyone in the media and in political leadership believed Kirk is gay; you could find the tapes on the Internet (and still can). Voters had a right to the same information as party insiders.

So where do I come out? It depends on the issue. Closeted gays that want to run for high office? I have a problem with that. People need to be honest with themselves and with the public if they want to accept a public trust. But on human and humane issues I come down on the side of trying to treat every human being with love and dignity. I have Adrian Dumont looking over my shoulder.

This long preface has been necessary because having said I essentially agree with President Obama on how homosexuals should be treated by hospitals, I completely disagree with him on his latest imperial diktat to impose gay rights on every hospital in the nation through an order emanating from the court of the Emperor Obama I.

One of the things we see as we look back into the 1970’s is that states were gradually liberalizing their abortion polices. In fact, in some states Republicans, including Governor Ronald Reagan, accepted liberalized abortion procedures. But the imperial diktat issued by the U. S. Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade created a backlash that is still burning.

A few days ago Democrats were breathing a sigh of relief; they thought they were going to be able to campaign on "health care reform." Obama has now erased the "health" issue. Obama’s “order” for “gay rights in hospitals” is going to become a defining issue and the latest evidence of his overwhelming and overweening arrogance as a leader. Because the Emperor Obama cannot remember the past, Democrats are doomed to repeat it. The imposition of gay rights on hospitals, however praiseworthy in concept, and however reasonable as a policy that hospitals should adopt, is going to create a firestorm that dooms even more representatives and senators as Obama martyrs.

In my book, “Obama: The Man Behind the Mask,” I explained in a psychological profile why Obama is not a leader. He is a weathervane. His only fixed reference point is a colossal personal ego that competes with the sun for radiation and reflection. But he is rapidly becoming the sworn enemy of the American people. His efforts to impose imperial law on every nook and cranny of this nation reflect an insufferable arrogance that is going to demolish his party in November:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/
content/article/2010/04/15/
AR2010041505502.html?hpid=topnews

Is gay rights for hospitals an urgent national issue? Not by a mile. But Obama is obsessed with grand gestures and imposing visible manifestations of his role as a Hugo Chavez-style national dictator.

So what is the lesson of Roe v. Wade? The lesson is that when people are allowed to make changes, even slowly, even incrementally, those changes acquire democratic legitimacy. The changes become a foundation for future change. When government imposes social policy by executive or judicial fiat, we create just another “culture war” to be continued endlessly at the ballot box.

Obama says that any hospital that takes “federal funds” must bow to his imperial edicts. If that is indeed the law since all of us receive “federal funds” in some form or fashion, we must all now bow down to the “laws” of the Emperor Obama. We are no longer citizens. Obama has declared by decree that we are his subjects. Over the past several decades, the “federal funds means federal control” doctrine has been expanded and expanded by Congress and the Supreme Court. Obama just pricked their balloon. The counterrevolution is about to begin.

Ordinary people don’t like to debate gay rights openly. Gay activists are noisy and obnoxious about seeking to intimidate opponents and imposing their views on the general community. But I can say without fear of contradiction that Obama has now created a “homosexual Roe v. Wade” conflict that is going to doom more Democrats in November. The American people don’t want to be dictated to by Barry Obama, the man without a birth certificate, even on issues where they might agree with him on principle.

Obama has created another monsoon issue for Democrats, and another gift for Republicans and conservatives. Ironically, Obama is actually hurting the progress of gay acceptance. The backlash is going to blow up in his face.

The other ultimate irony in all of this is that Obama is doing much, much more to defeat Democrats than the Republicans could ever accomplish on their own. Of course, I warned that this would happen way back in 2008; check out the 2008 Hannity video and my 2009 movie in Honolulu:

http://www.StopObamaCoalition.com/

www.CommitteeofOneMilliontoDefeatBarackObama.com

After watching my video predictions on Hannity and my ongoing media efforts to delve into the mysterious and deleterious Mr. Obama, you too can join the anti-Obama evolution!

And, hey, make a contribution to support funding for our research in Hawai’i and elsewhere. You may be paying the Emperor Obama’s light bill, but we still have to pay for our own electricity. Enough said.

Andy Martin threatens State of Hawai’i with new lawsuit over Obama secrecy

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says that the Hawai’i Attorney General’s attitude towards freedom of information involving Obama’s records is “insulting to the intelligence.” Martin is fundraising to support a new investigation in Honolulu beginning April 27th.

Re: UIPA documents letter of May 28, 2009

Dear Mr. Suzuki:

This will reply to your UIPA letter to me of May 29, 2009 which I recently had the opportunity to review. As a convenience, I have appended a copy of your letter to me to the faxed version of this letter. I did not include the Privilege Log itself.

Your office charged $600 to deliver a package of materials that were virtually useless and contained no information whatsoever involving Hawai’i inter-agency attempts to cover-up the release of Barack Obama’s original 1961 birth certificate

We have always tried to resolve our differences in a reasonable manner, and I will continue to do so. But if we do not resolve my objections to your letter by the close of business on Monday, April 26th, I will file suit later that week in Honolulu. I am flying to Honolulu on April 27th because I expect that we need to file a lawsuit to break the circle of corruption in Hawai’i government.

I was apparently the first person to seek access to what is now undeniably a prime document in American history, namely the original 1961 typewritten birth certificate of Barack Obama. Both I and persons who have followed after me have been met with an impenetrable stone wall of secrecy and prevarication, with one notable exception: Chiyome Fukino has repeatedly issued press releases and sought public attention for her claims she has seen this document and vouches for it. She sought to bolster Obama on the eve of the 2008 election, which is irrefutable evidence that your office and Fukino & Co. are politically biased in administering the UIPA.

I don't know what you are hiding, but you are hiding something. Nearly half of the American people now believe Obama is hiding the truth. You are on the losing side of history. The State of Hawai’i increasingly appears as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Obama, Inc. instead of as an independent state government.

With these prefatory comments I will move to a substantive response to your letter.

1. HRS 92F-13 (3)

For you to suggest that a statute concerning “frustration of a legitimate government function” has anything to do with this dispute is, frankly, an insult to my intelligence and an insult to the American people. While I enjoy the colorful displays of ancient Hawaiian culture on my trips to Hawai’i, Hawai’i is not a kingdom, or an independent nation. Hawai’i is one of the fifty states and bears a responsibility and relationship to each of the other 49 states and to every American. That principle arises out of the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.S. Constitution. So please do not insult me by suggesting that efforts to obtain access to an ancient document almost fifty years old involving the president of the United States in any way “frustrates” the functioning of the state government of Hawai’i. That kind of claim makes you look bad and makes the state look worse.

2. Executive privilege

Executive privilege has nothing to do with the state’s response to efforts by American citizens to obtain access to a prime document of American history. Quite by accident, the president of the United States claims to have been born in Hawai’i. His original, typewritten 1961 certificate is by any standard of law an ancient and archival document. In no way do efforts to obtain access to that document, or to the records of responses by Hawai’i officials to the public’s efforts to obtain access, constitute any sort of significant executive action.

Executive privilege was designed to protect genuinely critical decisions concerning current governmental matters, not to act as a roadblock to access to historic public records. The federal cases you cite concerned substantial policies concerning current government functions, not responses by government officials to ministerial requests for access to ancient historic records.

3. Attorney-client privilege

A. Who do you claim is the client?

It would seem to me that in your theme of analysis, the governor would be the client (though I deny that there is in fact a “client” exception for UIPA purposes) if anyone wanted to concoct a client for invocation of the attorney-client privilege. Under the attorney-client privilege, the client, not the attorney, invokes the privilege. Has Governor Lingle invoked the privilege? Does she even know you have invoked the privilege on her behalf? We need to know. There is no evidence your putative client has invoked the privilege, notwithstanding my belief that the “client” in this case is the people, not public officials.

B. The attorney-client privilege has no applicability

There is a good reason why, as you candidly concede, there is no attorney-client privilege jurisprudence in Hawai’i concerning the UIPA. The privilege does not apply to communications between government officials on matters not touching a substantial public concern. Moreover, the AG cannot assert the privilege for the governor, and the governor is not the holder of the privilege, the people are. That principle applies a fortiori where we are dealing with records of attempts to obtain public access to a historical document.

I would also point out that the UIPA is much broader than the federal Freedom of Information Act.

After reading your letter I did extensive research and also took a look at Florida case law. The Florida Supreme court considered an analogous claim, see City v. Miami Herald, 468 So.2d 218 (Fla. 1985)(no privilege in the absence of a clear legislative decision to create one) and Neu v. Miami Herald, 462 So.2d 821 (Fla. 1985)(the “evidence code” privilege does not trump the open government laws). Florida case law is significant because Florida’s policy of open records is virtually identical to Hawaii’s.

In sum and substance, there is no attorney-client privilege between Hawai’i government officials as a basis to suppress either ancient documents or to suppress responses to current efforts to obtain public access to ancient Hawaiian state archives.

C. The crime-fraud exception applies to my efforts

There has recently been a firestorm over efforts by Kenyan officials to claim Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Michelle Obama recently claimed Kenya is Obama’s “home country.” In other words, both the Obamas and Kenyan officials are casting a cloud over Hawaii’s claims that Obama was born in Hawai’i. There could be a crime/fraud in progress, cf. State v. Wong, 97 Hawai’i 512, 40 P.3rd 914 (Hawai’i 2002). Historians and writers have a vital interest in examining Hawaii’s original documents to see just what the 1961 record says, and what state officials have said internally since 2008 when the birth certificate issue mushroomed after my ContrarianCommentary.com columns.

4. Other factors

There are other factors which bear on the ultimate resolution of release of the records for which you are claiming secrecy.
A. Waiver

(1) Fukino waiver

Ms. Fukino has repeatedly sought personal and political publicity for her manipulation of the documents in question. Fukino’s conduct clearly waives any privilege (i) as to the document itself and (ii) as to Hawai’i government records concerning responses by state officials to efforts to obtain access to the document.

(2) Obama waiver

Barack Obama and his employees have repeatedly stated he has released his “birth certificate.” That being the case, you cannot invoke secrecy on his behalf. He has waived any secrecy or privacy. Moreover the privacy/secrecy right of an executive official to control the release of historical documents is very limited, indeed, see e.g. Nixon v. Administrator, 433 US. 425, 97 S. Ct. 2777 (1977); U. S. v. Nixon, 418 U. S. 683, 04 S. Ct. 3090 (1974).

B. Constitutional legitimacy

Where bona fide questions have been raised concerning the constitutional eligibility of a person to serve as president, researchers/historians obviously seek to review the original documents to see what they say and how they look. (Please note that while I keep referring to "original documents," my claims extend as well to any documents generated in response to requests for access, which form the bulk of your privilege claims.) The 1961 birth certificate contains considerable detail that can cast light on Obama’s claims he was born in Hawai’i, particularly when Michelle Obama claims his “home” was somewhere else and Kenyan officials have reported he was born in Kenya.

C. The adverse inference rule in civil law

The 1961 birth certificate is a simple document. Why it has been concealed for so long, with so much legerdemain, mystifies me. Unless there is something that Obama and Hawai’i officials do not want the American people to know or see.

Henceforth I am going to apply the adverse inference rule to your efforts and Hawai’i’ s efforts to conceal Obama’s 1961 birth certificate, namely that the Court must draw an adverse inference from these rather shameless attempts at secrecy. While the Hawai’i Supreme Court had addressed the civil context of the adverse inference rule from a spoliation perspective, see Stender v. Vincent, 92 Hawai’i, 992 P.2d 50 (Hawai’i 2000), the same principles apply to the efforts of Fukino and her handlers to play cat-and-mouse with the 1961 document and to manipulate and control access in a politically motivated manner.

There are other miscellaneous issues with which I disagree. You removed phone numbers. If someone places a phone number in a public document, they intend for it to be public. No one writes to a public official believing they are engaging in a secret communication. The telephone redactions, as well as any others, are without legal or logical support. At a minimum there would have to be an invocation of secrecy by the initiating party, or you would have to contact them to invoke secrecy on that person’s behalf.

Conclusion

The American people are increasingly concerned that there is a constitutional usurper in the White House, and that voters were inveigled into voting for someone who was not eligible to hold the office of president. I have refrained to date from taking a position in that dispute because I have consistently maintained that we need to see the original birth certificate before we can make an informed decision on how the constitutional issues play out.

I have tried to avoid a UIPA lawsuit, and I waited patiently for six (6) months while you “processed” my request. Then you turned over 600 pages of nothing and asserted farcical defenses to the release of documents relating to public concerns about access to an ancient document.

With all due respect, my patience is at an end. Either you turn over the withheld documents, or we go to court to have a judge review your claims. Because I have decades of experience with an utterly corrupt judicial system in Chicago and Illinois, I am comfortable contending with the Hawai’i judiciary, which sometimes seen as though it is a sunshine-based carbon copy of the Chicago courts. But somewhere in Hawai’i there must be an honest judge that recognizes the damage being done to Hawai’i institutions by the continuing cover-up of a 50 year-old document of vital concern to American history.

Because I am traveling, faxes and e-mails reach me relatively promptly. Mailed letters will not. I would ask that you respond by fax or e-mail.

Please reply at your earliest convenience. I am in the process of preparing the lawsuit to be filed during the week of April 26th.

I think your office, the interests of the people of Hawai’i, and the interests of the American people would be best served by turning over all of the redacted or withheld materials to me. Otherwise, you can turn them over to a court.

Sincerely yours,

ANDY MARTIN

Internet powerhouse Andy Martin seeks funds to open new Barack Obama research in Hawaii

Obama author, investigator and film producer Andy Martin is launching an appeal for financial support to open a new investigation into Barack Obama’s origins in Hawai’i. Martin plans to begin the inquiry on April 27th. Martin has become such a regular visitor to Honolulu one local paper labeled him a “resident.” “Barack Obama may be sitting in the White House,” Martin says, “but he is still a mystery man to the American people. His past remains unknown. He and his wife constantly spread disinformation to confuse us. He is truly a ‘Manchurian Candidate.’ We are asking Americans for donations to continue our Obama research and litigation in Honolulu.”

We need your financial support to continue our Obama investigations in Hawai’i

Dear Reader:

I am asking you to contribute to our exciting new Obama research project in Hawai’i. You can mail a check to our New York offices (P.O. Box 1851, New York, NY 10150-1851) or better still you can make an immediate online contribution at either http://www.boycotthawaii.com/ or http://www.committeeofonemilliontodefeatbarackobama.com/

We are launching a new Obama-book-to-the-White House promotion as part of our new Hawai’i investigation.

First let me remind you what we have already accomplished.

In October, 2008, we opened the first research investigation into Obama’s “roots” in Hawai’i. None of the media had ever examined Obama’s Hawai’i years until my team showed up. Much to my surprise, Obama diverted his campaign plane to Honolulu and arrived while I was there. We ended up costing Obama millions of votes in the presidential election. I was the first name on Barack Obama’s enemies list.

As a result of our Honolulu interviews we elevated the “Frank Marshall Davis-as-biological-father” question to the national stage. We filed the first and so far only lawsuit in Hawai'i to open to public inspection Hawai’i state archives on Obama.

In 2009 we produced the first and only movie on Obama’s Hawai’i years (check out the above web sites for a full series of videos including the film). Step by step we have tried to develop an accurate picture of Obama’s roots. It takes time, money and shoe leather to do all of this on-the-scene investigation.

We are now asking for your financial support to begin a new Hawai’i investigation on April 27th, Operation Aloha Obama IV.

Here’s how we plan to put your donation to work::

1. Continue the lawsuit to open Hawai’i archives on Obama (a motion being filed in court on April 14th follows this letter).

2. We are going to film new Hawai’i scenes for the movie on his years in Hawai’i.

3. We are going to continue the Frank Marshal Davis research.

4. We are going to lobby the Hawai’i legislature not to enact new Obama-friendly laws seeking to cover-up access to his past.

5. We may file a second blockbuster lawsuit in Honolulu challenging the political cover-up by Hawai’i officials.

The more you contribute, the more of the “Andy do” list we can accomplish.

And, to remind Barry Obama that the American people still have questions about his past, for every $50 you contribute to support our new Hawai’i investigation we will send an autographed copy of my book to Mr. Obama. If you donate $50 to support the Hawai’i project, we will send you a confirmation of delivery you can verify on the Internet, and we will send Obama an autographed copy of “Obama: the Man Behind the Mask.” If enough people contribute $50, the White House will be flooded with copies. They won't be able to say they couldn't find a copy to read.

So please be generous! We exist on volunteer efforts and contributions from ordinary citizens who are fed up with the media elites and the political class in Washington that elevated socialist Obama to the office of president.

Remember, if you would like to send Barry Obama an autographed copy of my book, donate $50 to the Hawai’i investigation and we’ll send him a copy.

Thanks for your support in the past, which has made all of our earlier successes possible. We want to keep working on your behalf, so please donate today. We have a travel reservation for April 27th that has to be confirmed by April 16th. So please donate now.

Best wishes,

Andy

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF HAWAII

CIVIL NO. 08-1-2147-10 BIA

ANDY MARTIN,

Plaintiff,

vs.

LINDA LINGLE, et al.,

Defendants.
________________________)

MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT RECORD ON APPEAL

Plaintiff moves the Court to enter an order supplementing the record on appeal to the Intermediate Court of Appeals (“ICA”) with the attached materials.
1. Facts
A. This lawsuit concerns efforts to obtain access to the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama. The birth certificate of a president of the United States is a priori an important public record. For reasons which defy logic, Hawai’i officials claim that Obama was born in Hawai’i (a view that Plaintiff accepts) but refuse to release or make available access to the original 1961 document. The 1961 birth certificate contains considerable information that is not otherwise available.
B. No reasonable lawyer in a reasonable and impartial court could argue that Obama is a private citizen entitled to the same privacy rights as an ordinary individual. The Hawai’i legislature never intended to shield presidents of the United States from public access to their birth records. Obama’s original documents are objects of intense historical and scholarly interest. Interestingly, the actual place of Obama’s birth remains undocumented: hospital(which one), name of doctor (unknown), place of birth (unknown). He is the only recent president whose birthplace remains a secret (see attached article). What is Obama hiding? And why is this Court aiding and abetting in making as farce of Hawaii’s role in history? The American people have a right to know.
C. The missing birth certificate of Barack Obama remains a matter of national interest, with a large minority of the public rejecting the incomplete documentation released by Hawai’i officials to date. Hawai’i officials have the original but refuse to release it, see attached. Web link: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/
2009/Jul/28/ln/hawaii907280345.html
2. Argument
A. Since this case was originally heard, Chiyome Fukino has continued to play cat-and-mouse with history, by claiming she has the “original” birth certification in her possession but she will not make it available to scholars and historians. http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/
2009/Jul/28/ln/hawaii907280345.html
B. Fukino’s position is fundamentally and facially absurd, and brings both this Court and the government of the State of Hawai’i into ridicule. Plaintiff has attempted with the utmost respect and good faith to litigate in this court, and has seen some of the worse “outsider” hostility and lack of professionalism he has ever encountered in any public interest lawsuit.
C. Plaintiff asks this Court, due to the delay in processing the appeal and due to Fukino’s continuing series of public statements, to supplement the record on appeal with the attached materials which include Fukino’s own remarks of July 27, 2009. Fukino’s 2009 statement would probably allow plaintiff to file a law lawsuit based on Fukino’s new statements since 2008. However, Plaintiff would like to avoid a multiplicity of lawsuits and believes that the entire controversy should be heard in one appeal before the ICA. Therefore, Plaintiff asks that the attached materials be made part of the record on appeal.
Respectfully submitted
