U.S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will oppose Obama White House stooge Lisa Monaco for FBI director

New Hampshire Republican Party leader and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester, NH news conference today, May 29th, to announce he is going to lead opposition to Lisa Monaco as a possible FBI Director. “Lisa Monaco is an Obama stooge,” Andy says. “Giving Monaco the keys to the FBI would be turning the FBI over to Barack Obama. Monaco, moreover, has been in the forefront of Obama’s ‘war against the news media.’ She is the last person who should be directing the FBI. Monaco is apparently one of the architects of Obama’s ‘surrender’ on the war against terror; what a joker to have in control of our counterterror operations. I expect to lead a bipartisan coalition against Monaco’s appointment to lead the FBI. Every American should oppose Monaco for the FBI Director’s job.”

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MANCHESTER NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY, MAY 29TH



New Hampshire Republican leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin says he is organizing opposition to President Obama’s plan to appoint White House stooge Lisa Monaco to head the FBI



(MANCHESTER, NH) (May 25, 2013) New Hampshire Republican leader and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester, NH news conference today, May 29th to announce he will lead opposition to the potential appointment of White House stooge Lisa Monaco to head the FBI.



“Handing the keys to the FBI to Lisa Monaco would be handing the keys to the FBI to Barack Obama,” Andy says. “Monaco is an adviser who has apparently ‘advised’ Obama to issue a surrender in the war against terror. How could she then lead the FBI in fighting terror?



“Monaco is a confidante of controversial White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, who claims to have concealed from Obama the existence of the IRS scandal. Can you imagine having lackey Ruemmler and stooge Monaco in control of our national security and political security? They might as well close down the FBI headquarters and move it into a closet in Ruemmler’s White House office.



“I expect that there will be bipartisan opposition to Monaco, and this is an opportunity for a bipartisan coalition to assemble to block Monaco’s appointment. In comments on the dailycos.com, a left-wing web site, Jesselyn Radack outlines how Monaco has been using the Espionage Act to target, among others, the media. So we could potentially have an FBI, and Obama, in control of investigating and prosecuting the media. Talk about a chill.”



Andy is an experienced Washington infighter who has opposed corruption and abuses for decades (andymartin.com). He became a candidate for the U. S. Senate from New Hampshire on May 27th.

Andy Martin says Jim Nalepa is unfit to serve as chairman of the Illinois Republican Party

Andy Martin, who has been a leading corruption fighter in Illinois since he was a student at the University Illinois College of law, says that the Illinois Republican Party is corrupt because the indirect manner in which the party’s leadership – the state central committee – is chosen is undemocratic. Andy says one of the candidates to serve as state party chairman, Jim Nalepa, is a “delusional jerk.” Andy continues to be committed to fighting corruption in Illinois although he now resides in New Hampshire. Andy also notes that U. S. Senator Mark Kirk is again making false claims that Kirk is a combat veteran; Andy says Kirk and Nalepa are “perfect pair.”

Dear Illinois Republican:



I am no longer involved in Illinois Republican politics. The internal politics of the party is corrupt because the “leadership” of the party is not elected by the party voters but is instead imposed on Republican voters by an undemocratic and unrepresentative “leadership.” The result of this undemocratic selection process, which was originally imposed by Governor Jim Thompson to make himself an absolute ruler, has been a disaster.



The recent machinations involving Pat Brady are instructive. Brady was the worst party chairman of either party in the nation. Brady single-handedly defeated the Illinois Republican Party in 2010, and he again led the party to defeat in 2012. Brady’s removal had nothing to do with “gay marriage.” Brady was a crook who surrendered his law license and was working to defeat, not elect, Republicans.



Now the party is choosing Brady's “successor.” Days away from the “vote” no one knows whether the committee will meet openly or in secret. No one knows how the “nominees” were selected to replace Brady. Is this any way to run a party? Unless and until Republican voters can directly elect the membership of their state committee this travesty of machine politics will continue.



Having left Illinois politics a couple of years ago, I don’t have a dog in the Brady-successor race.



One of the candidates, however, Jim Nalepa, would be a disaster for the party. Nalepa is being promoted by various individuals because he is a “speaker.” The only time I saw Nalepa speak he was incoherent and his “joke” bombed.



More to the point, during Nalepa’s “exploratory” campaign for the U. S. Senate in 2007 I exposed Nalepa as a complete nut:

My final commentary on Nalepa was devastating, and follows:

JIM NALEPA CONTINUES TO INFLATE AND DISTORT HIS MILITARY RECORD





(CHICAGO)(September 6, 2007) Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin issued the following statement in response to an article in the Hinsdale Suburban Life. http://www.chicagosuburbannews.com/hinsdale/homepage/x1185660350



“Unfortunately, ‘exploratory’ senate candidate Jim Nalepa continues to inflate and distort his military service. Because Nalepa has made a virtual career of being a ‘West Point graduate,’ the fact that he distorts what he did during his brief mandatory service on active duty is doubly distressing and embarrassing to him.



“In response to calls from an area newspaper, Nalepa continues to play fast and loose with the truth.



“First, Nalepa was accused in an e-mail to my campaign of claiming he had completed Ranger training when there is no evidence he ever completed the program and earned the Ranger designation. Is the accusation true, or not true, Jim?



“Second, Nalepa landed on Grenada long after combat operations, which were mercifully brief, had ended. There was no ‘combat’ going on when Nalepa arrived in Grenada. The ‘combat’ was in Nalepa’s mind.



“Finally, Nalepa continues to seek to bamboozle the public by equating any service in a ‘war zone’ with being a ‘combat veteran’ (see above link). Nalepa has been living his dream for over 20 years.



“Nalepa has never disclosed his MOS while he served his brief mandatory commitment in the army. He should do so to avoid any confusion that the Army considered him assigned to a line company.



“Even in Iraq, where the front lines are blurred, the U. S. Army has been very careful about issuing the Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB) to solders. Was Nalepa awarded a CIB? If so, he should show the award certificate.



“Support units do not automatically become ‘combat’ units merely by arriving in a zone where hostilities have ended, as they did in Grenada, or in Iraq, where hostilities continue. In Iraq, where support units have been exposed to combat, some qualified individuals, but not everyone, has received a new metal badge to show the support person was engaged in action. http://www.army.mil/symbols/combatbadges/Action.html?story_id_key=7285



“Although Nalepa mounts his pseudo-soap box and tries to claim that question about his inflated and distorted military service do a ‘disservice’ to current veterans, exactly the opposite is true. It is Nalepa himself who has pumped up his military record in Walter Mitty-style that has done a disservice to men and women who served in real combat; he has been doing this for decades and it is time Jim Nalepa came down to earth and faced the truth. He is not a combat veteran. Period.



“As the recipient of a free West Point education, Nalepa was required to serve a mandatory period on active duty. He served his required time, and shortly thereafter left the service. We honor Jim for his brief service; he dishonors himself by perpetuating that fiction that he is a combat veteran.



“Particularly as one who criticized Senator John Kerry for inflating his military service, Nalepa should know better than to do likewise.



“As a professional headhunter, Nalepa should know what the penalty is for inflating a resume: ‘you’re out.’”

[end]



In closing, let me say that Illinois is a great state that has been raped by the corrupt politicians of both parties. What makes fighting corruption very difficult is that the laws are written to protect corruption. For example, the state central committee in the Republican Party can be chosen in secret, with no voter input, by a handful of operators. Democracy does not exist. By contrast, in January a new New Hampshire Republican Party chairman was elected by delegates who were openly selected in a state meeting that was conducted in public. The process wasn’t perfect but it was worlds better than the way Brady’s successor is being chosen.



Nevertheless, I remain committed to fighting corruption in Illinois and we retain an office in Chicago for that purpose.



I will be eternally grateful to the People of Illinois for all of the opportunities they provided to me over the decades. I hope in some small way I was able to repay them; I don’t think I ever could. But all of you will always be in my prayers.



In my opinion, electing Nalepa would be a mistake for the reasons stated above. It’s your call.



We will continue to distribute our newsletters to Illinois residents and media, and we will continue trying to expose the fraud of Mark Kirk, who is again imagining and claiming in public that he is some sort of war hero. Come to think of it, Nalepa and Kirk make a perfect pair. Two delusional jerks.





Sincerely,





ANDY

IRS scandals prompt Obama author Andy Martin to run for the U.S. Senate from New Hampshire

New Hampshire Republican Party leader Andy Martin will formally announce Monday, May 27th, Memorial Day, that he is a Republican Party candidate to oppose the reelection of Senator Jeanne Shaheen. “For me, the IRS scandal was the last straw,” Andy says. “The Obama Administration and Jeanne Shaheen were using the IRS as a bludgeon to intimidate New Hampshire conservatives and Tea Party supporters. Shaheen campaigned as a ‘moderate’ and became an Obama radical as soon as she arrived in Washington. The last two years of Obama’s term are going to be the most negative in recent history. Obama is going to be a ‘wounded bull,’ desperate to sabotage the America we know and love before he leaves office. Obama has prematurely become a lame duck at the beginning of his second term - and that makes him dangerous. He will try to impose his vision of a statist and socialized republic on the American people. Shaheen has been one of Obama’s biggest enablers. She must be defeated.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



ANNOUNCEMENT OF MANCHESTER NEWS CONFERENCE MEMORIAL DAY



New Hampshire Republican leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin says Obama’s IRS scandals have prompted Andy to run for the U. S. Senate against Jeanne Shaheen



(MANCHESTER, NH) (May 25, 2013) New Hampshire Republican leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin will formally announce on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27th in Manchester, NH that he is a candidate for the U. S. Senate against Jeanne Shaheen. Andy issued the following statement Saturday morning:



Dear New Hampshire Republican:



Jeanne Shaheen and Barack Obama have declared war on the American people. It was Jeanne Shaheen who sought to politicize the IRS and spy on her New Hampshire opponents by using the IRS as her proxy (please see link #1 below). Shaheen promoted herself as a “moderate Democrat" when she served as Governor of New Hampshire. But as soon as Jeanne arrived in Washington she adopted the radical agenda of her fellow traveler Barack Obama.



Shaheen and Obama created the climate where Fox News is the victim of harassment. Shaheen and Obama fostered the hostile conditions where Eric Holder could spy on the Associated Press. Shaheen is one of Barack Obamas biggest enablers. They are a pair of career politicians.



I. Introductory Remarks



Last Sunday I was speaking with my bishop at the celebration of Pentecost. He said, “You know, I was planning on slowing down, and then I was asked to submit my name for bishop.” He smiled. I know how the bishop feels.



Every one of us would like a slower pace, where we can spend more time with friends and family. For my part, I have a lot of writing projects that are sitting on the shelf. I love walking in the North Country. But as I have watched Barack Obama and Jeanne Shaheen try to dismantle the America we love, by imposing federalized medical care, watering down our national defense, and creating an economy with ten trillion dollars in debt that will swamp our children, I became increasingly concerned. Obama and Shaheen are attempting to replace local democracy with a regime of political correctness imposed from Washington.



The IRS scandal was the last straw.



Because of my long and successful experience investigating and challenging Obama I felt I should become a candidate in the New Hampshire Republican primary for U.S. Senate. I am a fighter who knows how to fight. And I have a proven record of exposing Obama and opposing Obama. Jeanne Shaheen and Barack Obama are one-and-the-same. Shaheen is an Obama enabler; she was a leader of his reelection campaign.



II. My qualifications for the U.S. Senate



A. My lifetime of commitment to public integrity and public service



My lifetime has been devoted to public integrity and public service. I began exposing corruption as a young law student. Unfortunately, I have found that exposing crooked public officials creates enemies, not friends. The bad guys are always better organized than their victims, ordinary citizens. Dishonest and greedy public officials usually try to retaliate. So I have more than my fair share of enemies. I earned them. Don't be surprised when you see attacks on me; expect them. From New Hampshire to Honolulu, from Florida to California to New York, Illinois and Washington, DC I have been a national expert in helping to expose corrupt public officials. (Please take a look at www.AndyMartin.com for a detailed biography.)



B. My family history in New Hampshire



For the past 80 years on Memorial Day my family has tried to be at Pine Grove cemetery in Manchester. My grandparents are buried there. This year the remembrance falls to me. My maternal grandparents arrived in Manchester from a small town, Tsaritsani, in Greece about 100 years ago. My mom was born in Manchester.



My Uncle Bill Vasiliou and my mom both graduated from the University of New Hampshire. My revered Uncle Lucian Marcoux was born in West Manchester and was an inspiration to me growing up. World War II scattered the family but we always retuned to Manchester for family celebrations. Today I live just around the corner from where I grew up playing as a little boy on Elm Street.



III. The 2014 U. S. Senate campaign in New Hampshire



A. Jeanne Shaheen in Washington is an Obama radical



Jeanne Shaheen fooled the people of New Hampshire. She campaigned as a moderate Democrat. Once she arrived in Washington, she flipped. Shaheen ran against “Big Oil.” Recently she collected money from the same “Big Oil” she had earlier opposed. She is totally two-faced. Jeanne hopes the People of New Hampshire will not notice what she is doing in with Obama in Washington. But the IRS scandal blew her cover.



“Link #1” (below) is a letter on the web site of one of the nation’s most liberal senators, Charles Schumer. Schumer, Shaheen and the comedian Al Franken among others sought to pressure the IRS into investigating conservative organizations. Why? Because along with other states New Hampshire is a center of Tea Party and conservative activism. Shaheen was seeking to intimidate her potential opponents back home in New Hampshire.



In the past, New Hampshire Republicans have not had much luck defeating Shaheen. She has gunned down her Republican opponents by pretending she is a moderate. But Shaheen has now been exposed as a Washington liberal. The fact remains there is a shortage of people who have the experience to confront and attack and defeat Shaheen. Shaheen will bite back; she will make running against her a nasty exercise.



I will keep my campaign on the high road and avoid attacks on Shaheen’s private life, while relentlessly attacking her public record in Washington. Shaheen will not intimidate me the way she has stared down other New Hampshire Republicans. We will fight a tough race.



B. My record with Obama



Nine years ago I wrote the first column exposing Obama as an imposter. My book (see below) collected a series of columns that predicted Obama would be a disaster. My exposé on Hannity’s America (please see Link #3 below) terrified Democrats. I was probably the first name on Obama’s many enemies’ lists. I know how to fight Obama, and I know what makes him tick. That’s why I have the special background to tackle Obama’s enabler in New Hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen.



C. What do I want to accomplish in the U. S. Senate?



First, I want to remove Shaheen from the senate. Second, I want to stop Barack Obama’s extreme agenda. The last two years of his term (2015-2017) Obama will be in a frenzy to impose his statist dreams on the American people. We need street-smart Republicans who know how to fight Obama.



Finally, it is not enough to have a “negative” agenda. A candidate must stand for positive issues. You can define my own platform in two words: opportunity and inclusion.



When my family immigrated to New Hampshire they were not poor. They were educated and prosperous. But they came to America for one word: opportunity. My grandfather eventually became an investor.



When I graduated from college, opportunity was still limitless.



Today young people have been shortchanged by both political parties. The economy is a mess. The job market is a disaster, especially for young people. The future is bleak. I will single-mindedly devote myself to creating the same kind of broadly-based economic opportunity that greeted my ancestors when they arrived in Manchester, and that greeted me when I graduated from college. Every American should have the opportunity to be included.



IV. What can you do?



As a writer I often use the figure of speech that I can “see over the horizon.” My experience allows me to anticipate the flow of events. How’s this for a prophesy? On April 20th I wrote (see Link #2 below):



New Hampshire Republican leader Andy Martin, one of America’s leading conservative authors/investigators, says Americans may find in retrospect that April 19th was “The Day the Obama Administration Died.” The first of a two-part series examines how and why the random bombing in Boston may derail the Obama’s Administration’s timetable and render the president a lame duck even before that was already scheduled to happen. Andy combines his political background, counterterrorism experience and knowledge of the Southern Caucasus (Chechnya) to write the first draft of the Obama Administration’s epitaph.



In other words, I almost perfectly called the beginning of the end for the Obama regime. At the same time that Obama’s White House counsel was being notified of the IRS scandal I perceived that circumstances were coming together that would effectively deflate Obama’s bubble. Obama will try to fight back, as he did on Thursday, but his administration is doomed to failure.



Those of us who believe in the real America - not Shaheen's and Obama's government-controlled America – have to start picking up the pieces. We need to rebuild our economy. We need to rebuild faith in the IRS, Department of Justice and other institutions. We need to rebuild mutual trust in the American people.



I need your help to defeat Jeanne Shaheen. Without your support, I can't succeed and Shaheen could be reelected.



Well, what are you waiting for?



Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Mike Lee need help in the senate. I’m ready to go.



Please support my campaign; together we will remove Jeanne Shaheen from the U. S. Senate.



Sincerely,



Andy

Andy Martin remembers being targeted for presidential abuse because of his Viet-Nam War reporting

New Hampshire’s Andy Martin, one of America’s leading conservative authors/investigators, has had a media career that stretches back into the 1960’s. He is the youngest person ever authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to own and operate a TV station. As a result of a series of chance meetings in Washington - some day to be a major novel - he ended up in Viet-Nam as an independent producer and investigator. He also may have ended up as one of the earliest names on President Nixon’s enemies’ lists. Andy knows what James Rosen, Fox News, Sharyl Attkisson and The Associated Press are going through. He’s “been there, done that.” Attacks on the media never change, as Andy’s recollections from an earlier era confirm.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Conservative columnist and corruption-fighter Andy Martin

remembers being the target of presidential fury during the crisis over the Viet-Nam War’s My Lai massacre



“I know what the reporters are going through,” Andy says. “I lived through the same experience in the pre-Internet age.”



(WASHINGTON, DC) (May 23, 2013)



I have a sense of what James Rosen, Fox News, The Associated Press and Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News are feeling. I went through a similar experience with President Nixon forty-four years ago in 1969.



Yesterday I received a call from a New Hampshire journalist who asked my views on the current media scandals. As his questions probed, I started to drift back in time to 44 years ago when I was the target of presidential anger and earned my place on the first of three presidential enemies’ lists.



In 1969 there were no cell phones, no Internet, no 24-hour news cycle. Media had barely advanced since World War II. I was a recent law school graduate who among other endeavors was selling news and commentary and deciding what to do with my life. But then as now I knew people around the world and could draw on sources and resources that were otherwise not available.



One day in September, 1969 I opened the Chicago Sun-Times and saw the Evans-Novak “Inside Report” headline: “Presidential fury at Robb affair.” Evans-Novak were reporting that President Richard Nixon was furious. At me.



It was not a pleasant experience.



Seymour Hirsch had blown open the My Lai massacre and on a trip to Washington he and I met very briefly.



My experiences were unusual because I had spent time in northern South-Viet Nam in 1967 and 1968, and particularly in “I Corps” which was a U. S. Marine area of operations. I remember my first meeting with Captain Charles Robb, President Johnson’s son-in-law, who was commanding a Marine company southwest of Da Nang. Commanders rotated, so a company might have more than one officer during the course of a year. Robb was a relatively recent commander. He mistook me for one of his replacement troops.



The Marines had thrown up a perimeter around Robb and no media were allowed to be with Robb when he was in the field. I slipped through the cordon due to friends in the Marine Corps.



Not far from Robb’s base was an area called the “Arizona Territory.” The men told me they had gone into the Arizona Territory over and over again, and engaged in indiscriminate killing. My Lai was about indiscriminate killing. I connected My Lai with the Arizona Territory. The Arizona territory was a similar “killing field;” (please see link #1) today there are tours to visit this blood-soaked region (link #2)



The resemblance between My Lai (a U. S. Army operation) and what happened in the “Arizona Territory” was uncanny. The “Arizona Territory” was also a surprising area because in I Corps Marines had developed one of a small number of successful counterinsurgency formulas. They would position platoons in harm’s way, and encourage the men to work with and get along with local people. They called them “CAP” units (please see Link #3). Mass killing was against the Marines’ overall policy except in a pitched battle such as the Tet Offensive or combat assaults.



Because counterinsurgency and special operations were my specialty I paid particular attention to the question of why operations in the “Arizona Territory” were treated differently than Marine operations in other areas.



As I write today in 2013 I don’t have a clue how or where I published my Captain Robb/Arizona territory story. Back in 1969 there were no blogs, no email blasts and no Internet PR services. There was no instant communication (wire services, of course, existed but there was a definite news “lag”).



Someone picked up my story and ran with it.



While I can’t remember how I published my story, I do remember one fact very distinctly: my report reached the White House immediately. Even before the Internet, the White House still had ways of rapidly receiving information.



My remarks were simple and factual. Indiscriminate killing had not been an American “policy” per se, but indiscriminate killing had taken place and been tolerated across the war zone, particularly in I and II Corps. (IV Corps in the Mekong Delta was largely a South Vietnamese operation and III Corps was closer to Saigon and received much greater scrutiny). I believed it was wrong to retroactively punish soldiers for what had been acceptable conduct and widespread practices in an earlier period of the war. Retroactive punishment amounted to political scapegoating.



President Nixon blew his stack when he was made aware of my report. Nixon was trying to maintain a close relationship with former President Johnson and thought my writing was an effort by his political enemies to drive Johnson and Nixon apart by targeting Johnson’s son-in-law. In reality, I had no political motive whatsoever for my writing. I merely restated the facts as I had found them in Viet-Nam.



Shortly thereafter I passed the Illinois bar exam and found myself in a Star Chamber inquisition orchestrated by corrupt justices of the Illinois Supreme Court. The justices already had a reason to hate me because while still a law student I had helped expose corruption and helped set the stage for the removal of two justices from the court.



You can guess the rest of the story: what did the Illinois Supreme Court’s “character and fitness” representatives ask me about? Some things never change, from Andy Martin and My Lai in (by then) 1970 to the Tea Party in 2012: [1] Who and what were your sources in Vietnam? [2] How much did you receive for your writing? [3] Who purchased your reporting? [4] Where are the records of your Viet-Nam research? [5] What was your relationship to Professor Bernard Fall? And so on. The Illinois Supreme Court “investigated” me for three years before deciding I was too honest to practice law in Illinois.



And so, while I was not one of the first names on President Nixon’s enemies’ lists I had pride of place for telling the truth and standing up to a president who later shredded the Constitution. I stood up for the GI's and tried to help them avoid being scapegoated. I told the truth.



Mr. Rosen, AP, and Ms. Attkisson, “welcome to the club.” I know what it’s like to be in your shoes.

Honolulu news conference Andy Martin explores President Barack Obama’s marriage

Obama author and investigator Andy Martin will hold a global news conference by telephone from Honolulu Saturday May 11th to discuss the state of President Barack Obama’s marriage. Andy wrote the first investigative column about Barack Obama nine years ago; Andy’s “Psychological Profile” of Presidential Candidate Obama in 2007 has proven to be prophetic. Andy is in Honolulu continuing and updating his psychological profile of the president for a new book, “The Search for Obama.” Saturday Andy discusses his observations on the unusual marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama. [Andy returns to New Hampshire next week.]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF GLOBAL TELEPHONE NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND HAWAI’I DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



New Hampshire author Andy Martin probes the state of Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage and finds disturbing evidence of a troubled and possibly sham marriage.



Andy says President Obama’s marital dislocation may be affecting his job performance



(HONOLULU, HI) (May 11, 2013) From Andy:



Aloha from Hawai’i where I am continuing my research into the life of President Barack Obama. I am working to pull together my columns for a new book, “The Search for Obama.” Whether you like or dislike President Obama, his existence is a fact of history that must be respected. While my partisan opposition to President Obama is well-known, I have also continued independent scholarly research on Mr. Obama since 2004. I attempt to scrupulously separate my political opinions from my scholarly opinions. Whether you agree or disagree with my views, my independent research into Obama-the-man has forced the mainstream media to focus on Barack Obama’s personal life; I am a “watchdog” who is not afraid confront media propaganda about Obama.



With today’s news conference we enter a new zone of psychological profiling: how is Obama’s personal life affecting the performance of his public duties? Once again, Contrarian Commentary leads the way with independent research and provocative analysis about the Obama marriage.



1. Why “marriage” is important



Recently both supporters of homosexual marriage and supporters of traditional marriage have been battling away in the U. S. Supreme Court. The only issue both sides agree on is the importance of marriage as an institution. (As of yet I have taken no side in this controversy.)



In a nation where the personal relationships of public figures range from the puritanical to the libertine, marriage is a balance wheel for all points of view.



Several lifetimes ago when I was on track to become an air force pilot our ROTC instructors told us there was no room for marital dissonance at the breakfast table before we headed for the cockpit. If the state of one’s marriage is important to a pilot’s job performance, how much more important is the state of the president’s marriage to his actions in office?



2. My “psychological profile” of Obama in 2007



Does this guy sound familiar?



Ultimately, his personality matrix left him weak inside, weak under the surface, “all sail and no anchor.” He learned to avoid conflict, not fight. His mother raised someone who would run away, not stand his ground…

He will strive to be a strong leader on the surface, using powerful language and images; but inside he will still be the pied piper of powerlessness…

Obama's natural tendency, his default state of mind, is to evade, conceal, avoid--and escape.

His approach to dealing with his adversaries will ultimately come to be seen as weak.

[Please see Group Link #1 below for the Psychological Profile of then-candidate Barack Obama]



My 2007 Psychological Profile of Barack Obama’s future leadership style has proven to be uncannily accurate. (Looking back as a “profiler,” I’d have to say I got Obama’s “psychology” better than his “politics.” My own party’s incompetence helped propel Obama into office and keep him there. Ironically, my February 10, 2007 Psychological Profile was the first instance of a writer referring to Barack Obama as a “man behind a mask,” a term which morphed into my 2008 book.



3. The Oval Office



If marital discord can influence a pilot’s performance the state of the president’s marriage is obviously a critical factor in his performance in the Oval Office. President Bill Clinton’s loveless and probably sexless marriage led to his compulsive philandering, right next to the Oval office, and to his disgrace and impeachment.



4. Media reluctance to probe political marriages



Serious journalists remain reluctant to probe the state of presidential marriages. Nevertheless, the world has changed greatly since the 1960’s. Senator John F. Kennedy would never have been a serious presidential candidate today because of his compulsive fornication. LBJ might not have made it on to the national ticket and become president.



Sometimes politicians survive “sex scandals,” sometimes they are brought down by marital infidelity.



In the case of the Obamas’ marriage the media continue to portray the Barack-Michelle relationship as a storybook connection. One of the reasons I am in Hawai’i is to probe how the Obamas relate to each other when they are on vacation in Hawai’i, a place where they have an opportunity to spend more time together and yet apparently do not.



Nevertheless, rumors about the state of the Obama marriage are quite persistent, see Group Link # 2.



5. The “gay rumors” about President Obama



Rumors persist that President Obama is gay. We’ll analyze those rumors tomorrow, in Sunday’s news conference, and discuss how they impact the marriage.



5. The Obama marriage: you be the judge



A.



Michelle Obama: the spendthrift-spouse-in-chief



No one elected Michelle Obama to be the spendthrift-spouse-in-chief. But that’s the role she has arrogated to herself. Michelle Obama treats the U. S. Treasury as her own personal piggy bank. She jetted off to Europe with an entourage of hundreds, all at taxpayers’ expense. Michelle’s “Marie Antoinette” lifestyle is grossly inconsistent with seeking to maximize the image of her husband. Michelle Obama’s casual contempt for the fact that her husband is borrowing money from China to fund her shopping sprees and vacationing – often gussied up as “official visits” so the president personally does not have to pay - reflects contempt for the financial problems facing the American people.



Michelle Obama acts as though she is flaunting her freedom to engage in conspicuous consumption, and as though the president is helpless to do anything about her excesses because she has some sort of “hold” over him. The state of the Obama’s marriage has generated considerable gossip, and a protective reaction by African-American partisans, see Link #3.



B.



The “separate vacations” issue



Whether you like Obama or hate him, whether you consider him a savior or socialist or both, there is no doubt the office of president imposes substantial duties on the occupant, which is why the repetitive “separate vacations” of Obama and his daughters is so strange, and suspicious.



Indeed, I believe that it is through the window of their daughters that we can really see how hollow the marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama really is.



In an interview with Vogue, Michelle Obama stated they “prefer to spend free time with their daughters.” (Please see Link #4) What?



Surely the president’s vacation time is limited. If he prefers to spend his quality time with his wife and daughters, why is he spending it with Tiger Woods? When the Obama family comes to Honolulu, Barack and Michele again live separate lives. Obama makes cameo appearances with his daughters for shave ice and late lunches, but then spends more of his time with his Chicago cronies than he does with his family.



There is a massive gap between the image of Obama-the-devoted-father and the Obama who vacations alone when he could be spending time with his wife and daughters. By constantly vacationing alone the Obamas are flaunting their separation and detachment from each other. If through their separate lives they intend to send a message, that message has been received.



6. My predictions



A.



The future prospect for the Obamas’ marriage



I think there is a strong possibility Michelle Obama will seek the vacant U. S. Senate seat from Illinois in 2016. Senator Mark Kirk’s career is over, despite his protestations to the contrary. Because Kirk is all-but-a-Democrat, President Obama could create a graceful exit for Kirk and provide a vacant seat for Michelle.



If Michelle wants a political career she will opt to continue a Clinton-style fake marriage. If she is through with politics and merely wants to cash in her chips, she will seriously consider a divorce. The current state of the Obama marriage is unsustainable unless both parties continue to live a lie. After 2016 Michelle will no longer be able to impose her lifestyle and spending sprees on the U. S. taxpayer.



B.



Is Obama’s martial situation affecting his job performance?



In my opinion, the family turmoil with Michelle only adds to Barack Obama’s instability and exacerbates the psychological challenges which I predicted way back in 2007. As someone who accidentally became Barack Obama’s first biographer in 2004, I continue to study his actions and to expand and extend my psychological profile of the president.

Honolulu - Andy Martin opens his fifth annual meeting on Obama with “Obama's children,” the Tsarnaev Brothers

In a provocative column/letter, New Hampshire author and Republican leader Andy Martin says that President Obama’s attempt to blame “self-radicalization” for the Boston Bombings is a ruse to deflect attention and responsibility from Obama himself. Andy says that for the past four years Obama has been abroad running down the United States and trying to create the impression America is “in decline.” Andy says that after a four-year germination period, young Muslims are becoming increasingly radicalized by Obama’s poisonous ideology. Andy calls the Tsarnaev Brothers “Obama’s children,” the bitter fruit of Obama’s Cairo speech, Obama’s genuflecting to Arab kings, and Obama’s refusal to “stand tall” for America. Andy also blames Republican Party incompetence for the rise of Obama.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



New Hampshire author Andy Martin says the Boston Bombers - the Tsarnaev Brothers - are “Obama’s children”



Andy says President Obama’s “America-is-in-decline” approach to world affairs is the true source of Muslim radicalization



There is no “self-radicalization,” Andy says; Obama himself is the source of Muslim radicalization



(NEW YORK) (May 5, 2013)



Dear Reader:



On April 21st, the New York Times’ respected liberal columnist Thomas L. Friedman referred to President Obama’s “Muslim grandfather.” (Please see Link #1 below). Seven days later, Friedman again referred to “Obama’s “Muslim grandfather.” (Link #1)



It is almost unimaginable today, but nine years ago when I first raised the issue of then-Senatorial candidate Barack Obama’s religion I was attacked by the media for telling the truth. The same New York Times that today allows Friedman to link “Obama’s grandfather” to Islam, in 2008 sought to demonize me by publishing a front-page story making all sorts of false accusations (please see Link #2).



So what’s happened? What’s changed since 2004? Well, Friedman, who has lived in the Islamic world, knows the truth. Islam descends through the father, not the mother. For Friedman to repeatedly state that Obama has a “Muslim grandfather,” while politely overlooking Obama’s putative Muslim father, is to point directly at President Obama’s Muslim roots as a source of our problems in the Muslim world. Friedman may be suggesting, inferentially, that Obama’s heritage is more of an influence and more of a problem than Friedman originally anticipated.



People can change their religion; President Obama says he has done so. But people can’t change their culture and values. Obama says he hasn’t. Obama told New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof that Obama had a total recall of the Muslim muezzin call to prayer (see link #3).



Obama may claim to have left behind his Muslim roots. But young Muslims such as the Tsarnaev Brothers reject Obama’s “conversion” to Christianity. The Tsarnaevs see our president as a Muslim who has never publicly rejected his family’s faith. Thomas Friedman’s continuing concern with Obama’s family religion is testimony to the fact others agree with me.



Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech and Obama’s constant overtures to radical Muslim nations may be the real reason the Boston Bombers “self-radicalized.” The Tsarnaev brothers may be “Obama’s children.”



I am not for a moment suggesting President Obama intentionally or directly encouraged the bombings. But, indirectly, Obama’s complacent and compliant attitude toward radical Islam has created the conditions and circumstances where young Islamists are not “self-radicalizing” but rather radicalizing directly in response to Obama's stimulus.



After all, why are only Muslims “self-radicalizing?” Lots of people have grievances, all over the world. They are not committing terrorist acts.



When I began to study Barack Obama in depth in 2004 I was alone. The media were spoon-fed Obama’s propaganda.



When I landed in Honolulu five (5) years ago, I was the first scholar to conduct independent research into Obama’s past.



Although I am credited with creating what the media sought to call the “Birther” movement, I had and have nothing to do with some of the thieves and crackpots that have sought to profit from false claims about Obama’s birth. I have found no evidence that Obama was born anywhere but Honolulu. Even the New York Times was forced to admit I clearly differentiate between fact and theory (see Link #2).



In fact, the reason Obama’s henchmen have attacked me so relentlessly over the years is precisely because I only seek to find the facts and to search for the truth.



You can see the short film I produced at www.boycotthawaii.com which prompted other researchers to produce their own films. In other words, over the past nine years I have been and continue to be a catalyst for research and investigation into Obama’s origins.



For the past five years I have convened an annual conference in Washington, DC to discuss my research into Obama, and to present my theories about where we are headed in the future (www.nationalconferenceonobama.blogspot.com).



This year we are combining the national conference with sponsorship by Contrarian Commentary, and we are holding our meetings in Honolulu beginning May 8th. This is your opportunity and invitation to attend the conference, to financially support the continuing investigation, and to help us spread and share the ongoing research. We kept a lid on the conference with this late announcement because we have some explosive leads that we are pursuing in Honolulu.



When we began planning the 2013 meeting a couple of people said to me, “Why bother, the election is over?” First, the “election is not over.” Obama will be in power for three more years. Need I say more?



Second, many of the seeds Obama planted in his first term took time to germinate. “Self-radicalization” is one of them. Obama’s unwillingness to stand up for America, and his refusal to defend our values against competing “values” from the less civilized world, have now created a cotillion of continuing terrorism.



Many liberals were offended when conservatives attacked Obama for not defending American “values,” and for appointing an Attorney General who refuses to even mouth the term “Islamic terrorism.”



Anyone who has ever been an avid gardener, as I am, knows plants can take years to grow to maturity, and some plants are just slow starters. I have a plant that went in the ground five years ago; many times I thought he had died, but he is sprouting this year. Likewise, political doctrines do not create an instant response. That is why the Tsarnaev Brothers may be “Obama’s children.” It took time for their violent anti-American attitudes to explode into the reality of the Boston bombings.



Since Obama started planting his seeds in 2009 he has mismanaged (sabotaged?) the federal bureaucracy so as to limit counterterrorism activity. Today, Obama's so-called “self-radicalized” seeds are bearing bitter fruit. Obama planted a lot of seeds in the past four years. The Tsarnaev Brothers are not alone.



If ordinary Americans are not prepared to break through the relentless propaganda of the Obama Administration (Benghazi: “what difference does it make?; Benghazi: “that was along time ago”) then we can expect more anti-American activity from Obama’s children.



It is Obama himself who has radicalized the Muslim world. He has created and presented a portrait of America as being in decline, a helpless and hapless nation. Obama’s actions are “radicalizing” Islamic extremists. There is no such thing as “self-radicalizing.” College students respond to incitement from their environment and from their national leaders. That is why I have labeled the Tsarnaev Brothers “Obama’s children.” There are many more “Obama children” out there.



Please be sure to pass these comments along to your family and friends. Right now I am perhaps the only source labeling Obama’s bogus “self-radicalization” claims what they are: the fruits of Obama’s surrender to the Muslim world over the past four years.



It took Tom Friedman five years to catch up with the reality that Obama was raised in a Muslim family. What are the media ignoring today that they will only admit five years from now when it is too late? At ContrarianCommentary we like to say we “see over the horizon.” Our work in 2004 looks pretty good in retrospect. That’s the best reason to support our continuing efforts.



Won’t you join us in Honolulu for a scintillating and controversial conference, or support our work with a contribution if you can’t attend in person?



Respectfully,



Andy Martin



P.S. While my research into Obama is independent and scholarly, I do not hide my own Republican views. The Republican Party’s internal incompetence, in Illinois in 2004, and nationally in 2008 and 2012, has done a great deal to facilitating Obama’s rise to power. While I try to keep scholarly research and investigation separate from partisan politics, there is no denying that Republican Party failures to confront Obama and to understand the threat he poses to the United States have allowed him to endanger our national security. At a time when Christians in the military are threatened with prosecution for “proselytizing,” President Obama has been very subtly proselytizing the Muslim world to rise up against America. Facts are facts. The truth is the truth. The Tsarnaev Brothers are the fruits of Obama’s efforts.
