Honolulu News Conference Monday - Obama expert Andy Martin says the University of Hawai’i should renew its efforts to become the host of the Obama Presidential Library, which will be legally and physically distinct from the “Obama Presidential Center” in Chicago

Obama expert Andy Martin, who came to Hawai’i a decade ago to begin independent local research into President Barack Obama’s family history, will hold a Honolulu news conference Monday to encourage the University of Hawai’i to renew and reopen its efforts to host the Obama Presidential Library. Andy says recent developments in Chicago have created, at a minimum, confusion as to where the final repository for the original records of the Obama presidency will be located by the National Archives and Records Administration. Andy says UH still has a chance to be the host to Obama’s original records, which will be administered by NARA, because that center will not be located in Chicago.

Andy Martin says the fact that President Obama’s original presidential documents will not be housed in Chicago reopens the question of where they will be maintained

Andy says the repository of original documents will become the “real” Obama Presidential Library

Andy says the people of Chicago and Illinois may have been bamboozled by Obama into believing his “Center’ on the South Side of Chicago would be the “library” mandated by federal law

(Honolulu, HI) (November 20, 2017) Obama expert and conservative columnist/blogger Andy Martin will hold a Honolulu news conference today, Monday, November 20th to encourage the University of Hawaii to renew and reopen its efforts to house President Barack Obama’s original presidential records (“library?”).

“I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say I was President Barack Obama’s original researcher,” Andy says. “I wrote the first critique of his ‘biography’ in 2004 and I came to Hawaii a decade ago and began the first independent scholarly research into his family history. My efforts became the foundation of later work by other writers who, ironically, made my original research ‘controversial.’ My writing was later distorted both by Obama’s supporters, who wanted to control what was the approved version of Obama's family history, and by Obama's opponents, who wanted to create am imaginary presidential birthplace in Kenya.

“But unlike President Trump, I never suggested Obama was born elsewhere. I always stated that my research and evidence pointed solely to his birth in Honolulu. I got it right; Trump did not.

“However, I must confess to a ‘conflict’ that existed within me. On the one hand I had to adhere to scrupulous standards of scholarly research for accuracy and impartiality. I think I met those standards. All of my commentary and analysis about Obama has been vindicated.

“On the other hand, I was a political opponent of President Obama’s policies, and that created an inherent tension. But while President Obama’s political mojo is being enhanced by the current collapse of the Clinton dynasty, Obama is no longer in office and the tension between my scholarly research and my political advocacy is now largely dissipated. My scholarly research on Obama, however, continues.

“And I am once again on the cutting edge of pointing to the discrepancy between the ‘appearance’ and ‘reality’ involving Obama, by raising questions concerning the ultimate and ‘real’ Obama Presidential Library (“OPL”) and an imaginary one which is supposedly being created in Jackson Park, Chicago and which has been named the “Obama Presidential Center” (“OPC”).

“Up until President Obama, the federally-mandated presidential library contained the original documents and the artifacts concerning a presidency (please see link [1] below). President Obama has chosen to depart from that model (please see link [2] below) and in doing so has created serious ongoing confusion. He says the OPC will not be the federally-mandated OPL.

“Some time ago the University of Hawai’i (“UH”), Columbia University in New York and the University of Chicago ‘competed’ to host what was thought to be the OPL. We now know that was not the case. The OPC which is being created in Chicago will not be the federally-mandated repository of the original documents and materials maintained by law by NARA (private funding is used to construct the physical library building). NARA’s ‘original’ records are currently housed in a warehouse in suburban Chicago. But where will they ultimately and finally be housed? That location will become as a matter of law the ‘real’ OPL.

“Because NARA has not announced the final location that location is apparently still an open issue or question. Obviously, the voluminous presidential records are not going to remain in the suburban warehouse forever. Federal law mandates that the original records be made available. But where?

“I encourage UH to renew and reopen its efforts to house the original Obama records since they will become in reality the genuine OPL. Of course others, such as Columbia University and even new institutions are also free to ask NARA to house the original records at their universities.

“I return to what I said a decade ago when I first arrived in Honolulu to study Obama. Scholarly research is scholarly research. We try to find the facts and search for the truth. Scholars deal in original documents and materials, not facsimiles of originals such as will be available in Chicago at the OPC.

“To some extent the people of Chicago and the University of Chicago were bamboozled, because the city was led to believe it was surrendering valuable parkland as the site for an actual presidential library, not a ‘presidential center.’

“I question and will continue to question whether the bankrupt City of Chicago and bankrupt State of Illinois should be funding a Potemkin ‘library’ which is not the real federally-mandated library and merely a ‘center’ where facsimiles of originals are available. But entirely apart from how the OPC will function over time, the documents are a physical reality that have to be housed somewhere by NARA. NARA cannot remain mum indefinitely as to the final location of the Obama records. Until the final location is determined, I assume it is an open question where that will be and I encourage UH to reopen and renew its efforts to host what apparently will become the ‘real’ OPL,” Andy says.

“Stay tuned. My relationship with Barack Obama and reality, now fourteen years old, continues. As usual, I continue to seek to find the facts and search for the truth”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Attention, New York, Washington, National daybook/assignment and Political editors

Announcement of New York news conference Friday, May 5, 2017

Andy Martin says David Garrow’s new biography of President Barack Obama is going to create a firestorm of inquiry over whether Obama is actually a homosexual

Andy was the first author/researcher to brand Obama’s life story an “invented” family history and to expose Obama’s lies about his life in Chicago

Andy candidly admits he never saw sufficient credible evidence to write that Obama was gay/homosexual, but Garrow may have provided the “missing link” to a number of gaps in Obama’s résumé

“Garrow may have stumbled on the ‘missing ink’ that explains Obama’s obsession with sexuality,” Andy says, “from filling the courts with homosexual judges to demanding that schools create unisex toilets for transgender students to being obsessed with ‘rape’ on college campuses”

Andy says that because David Garrow is a member of the liberal establishment, doors may have been opened for him that were closed to conservative authors and researchers

Is Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel at risk?

(New York, NY) (May 5, 2017) Andy Martin, who wrote the first exposés about Barack Obama in 2004-2007, will hold a New York news conference today, May 5th, to claim that a new biography of President Barack Obama is going to trigger a firestorm of inquiry over Obama’s true sexuality and sexual orientation.

Andy’s remarks:

1. We have just scratched the surface in understanding Obama

“Barack Obama changed my life,” Andy says. “In 2004 I wrote what I thought would be a ‘one off’ exposing Obama’s bogus biography and invented family history. I ended up going to Hawai’i many times, being “investigated on the front page of the New York Tines as one of the most important stories of the 2008 presidential campaign, and becoming a focus of a Fox News Channel program hosted by Sean Hannity (please see link #1).

2. Some thoughts about sexuality and homosexuality

“If you believe what Obama wrote to his girlfriend about ‘considering’ a homosexual encounter, in David Garrow’s new book (see links [1][2] below), you will be buying into more Obamabaloney. I am not an expert on homosexuality but from what I have read most homosexuals have early inclinations that they are gay or lesbian. A person doesn’t get to college and have no idea about their sexuality. Moreover, a heterosexual person doesn’t usually ‘consider’ becoming homosexual. Obama’s explanations to his girl friend were self-serving and were probably intended to cover his tracks and his past sexual dalliances.

“When I went to the University of Illinois I was placed in an honors section for rhetoric. I spent a year with Professor Herbert Bogart studying human sexuality and all of its literary and analytical permutations, in a class full of sexually repressed honors students. (Bogart probably saved my life, because I learned more about sexuality in his class than I did in any military science course, which proved helpful overseas.)

“While I respect that sexuality reflects a continuum of levels from fully gay to fully heterosexual, Obama’s profession that he ‘considered’ homosexual activity, and that homosexuality was less challenging than a heterosexual relationship, is pure Obamabaloney. If there is one issue that most scholars agree on it is that living in a homosexual relationship, particularly in the 1980’s, was much more challenging (in the age of AIDS) than an ordinary heterosexual relationship between a man and a woman.

“Once again, Obama’s facts do not line up with either reality or clinical experience, and he appears to be admitting the precise opposite of what he is relating as his inclinations. Even then he was covering his tracks and leaving behind false clues.

3. The “compartmentalization” of abused children

“As we read liberal icon David Garrow’s massive book many will wonder ‘how was Barack Obama able to compartmentalize his sexuality and ambition until he was able to reach the White House?’ My theory, which I first offered in 2007 in a psychological profile of the presidential candidate, is that we have to understand Obama’s behavior in the context of analyzing the psyche of an abused child.

“Abused children become masters of compartmentalization. They have to endure unspeakable emotional and physical abuse, but still function normally in the ordinary, daily community. I have always believed that Obama was abused, emotionally and psychologically, and that he responded to his feelings of confusion, abandonment and abuse by compartmentalizing himself and his emotions and behavior. Garrow confirms my 2007 hypothesis.

4. 2007-2008 rumors concerning Obama’s homosexuality

“During 2007-2008 I was given source materials from people who claimed to have had a homosexual relationship with Obama. I refused to use the ‘homosexual’ material because there was no extrinsic evidence to verify the encounters. And I came under criticism and attacks on the Internet because I refused to address the allegations of homosexuality. I am confident today, a decade later, I made the correct choice. Unlike others, I clearly labeled my facts and theories as facts and theories and distinguished between the two. Indeed, I irritated Obama and the Obama camp precisely because I refused to publish lies about the candidate. Unlike the work of other authors, all of the controversial material I originated about Obama’s family history turned out to be correct. I did not publish unverified allegations as facts unless I had independent evidence to support the claims.

“Which leaves one to wonder: when will the next shoe drop? There were endless ‘reports’ of a sexual relationship between Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Could Emanuel be the next ‘victim’ of Garrow’s book? Writers and researchers are going to have to go back and review their notes and files; what did we miss that Garrow found? (I am heading back to Hawaii for new research.) What is there still left to find? I firmly believe there is much more we are going to learn about Barack Obama’s private life.

“Garrow has opened a can of worms for Obama’s admirers. Interestingly, none of the ‘mainstream’ media that have preliminarily reported on Garrow’s new book have mentioned Garrow’s explosive findings on Obama’s potential (or actual) homosexuality. The mainstream media protection racket covering up unflattering aspects of Obama’s personal life remains in full force.

5. Obama’s contrived his “blackness”/was his sexuality also contrived?

“One of the reasons Garrow digs deeply into one of Obama’s relationships is because Garrow probably saw for the first time how Obama was capable of contrivance and manipulation. Most people pursue nonmarital sexual encounters for the pure pleasure of the encounter. Obama moved from being a sexually active teenager to being obsessed in his 20’s with how his racial and sexual choices would affect his political future. Wow. What kind of mind and what kind of repressed psyche would you have to have to make sexual choices and romantic choices based on political ambition?

“Because of his smoothness and personability, Obama was someone who could have entered either white or black society on an even keel. Garrow mentions Chicago politicians I knew who made choices in their private lives that limited their public advancement; Obama chose advancement over personal satisfaction. That extreme level of self-denial may have prompted concerns as Garrow peeled back layer after layer of Obama’s manipulations and contrivances as Obama reached the threshold of becoming a public figure.

“We have to remember several pertinent aspects of Garrow’s status and stature. First, he was a member in good standing of the liberal establishment, giving him massive ‘cred’ as an Obama author. Second, people opened up to him and doors were opened on the assumption that Garrow was writing a sympathetic or even sycophantic biography. Conservatives would not receive similar access. Bottom line: writers have just begun to explore the many and massive ‘contrivances’ in Obama’s life. Garrow provides the first liberal-originated guide book.

6. Did Obama’s mother influence Barack’s confused sexuality?

“My colleague Jerry Corsi explored the sexual proclivities of Barack Obama’s mother. Corsi focused on the mother in a way that I did not. But let’s turn Corsi’s writing around 180 degrees. ‘Barry’ Obama, as he was then known, had to have known of his mother’s libertine sexuality. Could he have felt shamed by his mother’s casual sexual practices?

“As new research is conducted and new witnesses and sources appear, we are likely to find that part of Obama’s admittedly confused sexuality, and his admitted willingness to consider a homosexual lifestyle, may have been promoted by his distaste at observing his mother’s behavior. Corsi may have been correct in his reporting about the salacious behavior of Obama’s mother, but Corsi probably missed the true significance of the mother’s behavior: she left behind a sexually confused and vulnerable son.

7. What really happened at Occidental College?

“I have always been fascinated by the great gap in Obama’s college years: his time at Occidental College. Instinctively I knew there was a major story in the Occidental years but it was probably not a ‘political’ story, more likely some sort of ‘coming of age’ situation. Garrow, I believe, has provided the ‘missing link’ that is going to unleash a torrent of new research on Obama’s past. Occidental was an elite, expensive private college. How did Obama, a self-confessed mediocre student at Punahou School in Honolulu, finance his education there? I have wondered for over a decade what the answer to that question would be.

“Ultimately, the tortured ‘relationship’ between Obama and Professor Lawrence Goldyn may provide the ultimate missing link. The two men did indeed have a relationship. Obama admits he was ‘experimenting’ during his time at Occidental. Why wouldn’t he have experimented with Goldyn? Obama may have felt a need to leave Occidental to avoid further and deeper involvement with Goldyn. Goldyn may be the ‘Rosebud’ link which explains why Obama left Occidental and moved on to relative anonymity at Columbia University in New York.

8. Obama’s obsession with sexuality during his presidency

“As I watched Barack Obama become President Obama I was amazed at his relentless and repeated obsession with controversial sexual issues. Time and time again, Obama focused on sexuality when it was counterproductive to do so. In his final year in office, Obama triggered a national controversy over transgender individuals and how to deal with their bathroom needs. Obama had to know the ‘bathroom bills’ would become a distraction and even hurt Hillary Clinton, but he persevered.

“Obama filled the federal courts with gay men and lesbians, to the point where it became obvious. While packing the courts with gays and lesbians never became as controversial as the bathroom bills and diktats, throughout his presidency Obama was obsessed with peripheral sexual issues. Why? Perhaps Garrow has provided an answer. At least he has pointed the way to further inquiry.

9. Are Barack Obama and Michele Obama BFFs?

“Garrow’s book is likely to focus attention on the real nature of the relationship between Barack Obama and Michele Obama. Is theirs a ‘marriage of convenience?’ Are they ‘best friends forever? (BFFs)’ Do Garrow’s disclosures about Obama’s tortured sexuality call into question whether Michele Robinson Obama may have been just another pawn or ‘tool’ in Obama’s relentless rise to national prominence?

“All of these questions will come under renewed focus in the coming days. Garrow has blown open the secure ‘safe’ where the reality of Barack Obama’s personality and sexuality have remained hidden for decades,” Andy concludes. “I have been working on a second book, ‘The Search for Obama,’ as well as a book on President Trump. Garrow has now provided a road map to many new areas of inquiry concerning the mysterious Mr. Obama.”

Huffington Post: Obama expert Andy Martin played a “pivotal role” in the 2008 presidential campaign

As Barack Obama slowly slips into history, Andy Martin’s “pivotal role” in American presidential history is slowly being acknowledged by leftists and, ultimately, by historians. In a new analysis of the “Birther” movement by the Huffington Post Andy is credited with creating the “rumor” that Barack Obama’s religious loyalty was questionable. Sam Stein writes that Andy’s TV appearance on Fox News “play(ed) a pivotal role in the campaign.” “What ‘leftists’ do not realize, however, is that their ‘rumors’ are in reality just troubling facts that Barack Obama has never clarified or refused to address. As Stein quotes Obama, Obama always has ‘better stuff to do. I’ve got better stuff to do,’ because in his convoluted mind Obama has always been too high-minded and simply too good for the American people. We have always been beneath him. Respectfully, both I and the American people beg to disagree with President Obama,” says Andy. “I also predict that history will also find that Obama was a failed president. I predicted that outcome way back in 2007.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin responds to an article in the Huffington Post calling Andy the de facto successor to Republican operative Lee Atwater

Andy says the “Birther” movement came into being because, as Barack Obama himself confirmed, Obama was a “different kind of candidate”

“I have no quarrel with Sam Stein’s recapitulation,” Andy says, “But Sam understates the extent to which Obama himself was the ‘First Birther’ and created the Birther movement”


(NEW YORK) (September 23, 2016) “Last week I conducted my ‘last Birther News Conference’ (please see link #1 below) and, absent extraordinary circumstances do not expect to hold another one,” says Andy Martin. “But Sam Stein’s story today in the Huffington Post (please see link #2 below) starts creating the actual leftist ‘history’ of what happened during the 2008 presidential campaign. So a gentle response is called for.

“The fundamental flaw in Stein’s article, as with all leftist writing, is that he does not recognize or admit that what the left calls ‘rumors’ are actually ‘facts’ or opinions that the left wants to pretend do not exist. Stein does mention the phony Kenyan ‘grandmother’ that Barack Obama created to confuse the media and to present a false family narrative, a false narrative that later boomeranged when Donald Trump exploited Obama’s own lie.

“Stein also places me in something of an aeropagus, as someone whose original research and honest reporting ‘would later play a pivotal role in the [2008 presidential] campaign.’ (please see link #2). Barack Obama was forced to launch a full, frontal attack on me personally, while trying to ignore the historical evidence I had unearthed. Obama’s effort failed. My ‘history’ will endure alongside his own.

“And Stein, of course, claims that I live in a ‘fever swamp.’ (I actually live in New Hampshire today.) Where are these ‘fever swamps?’ We need to know because according to the Huffington Post all Republicans and certainly all conservatives’ live in ‘fever swamps,’ en route to some day being placed in FEMA camps by an Obamaite president. I am tagged as the Left’s answer to question, ‘Who is Lee Atwater’s successor,’ as ‘Andy Martin, a dark arts Republican from Illinois who helped spread many of the rumors (facts?) about Obama’s origins.’

“Ironically, the reason I have endured as a symbol of the public’s continuing questions about Obama is that I never told a lie. I always maintained that Obama was born in Hawai’i, and I called out those who disagreed because they lacked probative evidence to sustain their own claims. My writing and my analysis have survived the scrutiny of history. Thus, untimely, Birtherism, despite its many branches (e.g., natural born citizen, place of birth, release of birth certificate) was not built on ‘rumors’ but on rock solid truth.

“I told the truth about Obama. The firestorm I created played ‘a pivotal role in the [2008 presidential] campaign.’ Unfortunately for them, and for him, Obama and his operatives are stuck with me as we ride off together into the historical sunset. I told the truth about Obama and the truth created doubts that spawned a movement that in Stein’s own admission ‘will likely never fully die.’

“While you can call what I do ‘dark arts,’ spinning the truth in a way that creates problems for the opposition has always been a legitimate part of American politics. I am proud of the role I played and continue to play as I analyze Hillary Clinton for a story next week.  I will no doubt be accused of playing a ‘pivotal role in the 2016 presidential] campaign.’

“It cannot be emphasized enough that I never said Obama was born anywhere but Hawai’i, which was why I particularly irritated the president. He loved to agitate his base with the more outrageous claims of less scrupulous Birthers. And while Sam says I live in a ‘fever swamp,’ at least its an honest fever swamp in contradistinction to the ‘Sanders swamps’ where Hillary Clintons’ own adherents reside today. (I am working in Illinois over the next few weeks, on a blockbuster analysis of Madame Hillary.)

Finally, if you read my Psychological Profile of Barack Obama, prepared in 2007, who today can disagree with my preliminary analysis and conclusions way back in 2007? (please see link #3) The CIA could not have done better job,” says Andy.

Obama expert Andy Martin: “Birther” issue will almost certainly boomerang on Hillary Clinton

Andy Martin, the independent Internet columnist and blogger who created the “Birther” movement and became Barack Obama’s first antagonist, says that toady’s attacks on Donald Trump are almost certain to backfire and benefit Trump. “Clinton and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) will see their racial politics boomerang and benefit Trump,” Andy predicts. “The CBC and Clinton are engaged in shameless race-baiting and it is going to turn off undedcideds and Millennials. Trump closed the book today. Efforts by Clinton and her media sycophants to revive and reopen the issue are going to backfire.” Andy will hold a Saturday news conference in New York to further address the issue. After losing a congressional primary in New Hampshire earlier this week Andy has rejoined the national political conversation. Watch for his investigative reports on Clinton and Trump.

Andy Martin says “Birther” issue may boomerang on Hillary Clinton and Congressional Black Caucus

Andy Martin created the “Birther” movement and then walked away when the issue was taken over by crazies claiming Barack Obama was born in Kenya

“I have always stated unequivocally that Barack Obama was born in Hawai’i,” Andy says “The origin of the ‘Birther movement’ was not a so-called ‘Kenyan birth’ but rather my efforts to force the release of Obama’s Hawai’i birth certificate”

Andy says that efforts by the Congressional Black Caucus and Hillary Clinton to exploit the Birther issue are almost certainly going to boomerang on Clinton and benefit Trump

Andy plans to hold a news conference in Forest Hills, NY on Saturday morning (the 17th) to provide greater depth and detail

(NEW YORK) (September 16, 2016) Andy Martin, the corruption-fighting Internet columnist and blogger who first challenged Barack Obama’s family story in 2004 and later created the so-called “Birther” movement says that today’s efforts by Hillary Clinton and the Congressional Black Caucus to harass and harangue Donald Trump are almost certainly going to backfire and end up benefiting Trump. “You heard it here first,” Andy says.

“What Clinton is doing and what the liberal media is doing is going to boomerang on her and benefit Trump. She is trying to attract ‘swing’ voters. Will they really be impressed by a lecture from Charlie Rangel and other members of the CBC on the dead issue of Obama’s birth certificate? Very doubtful.”

Andy created the “Birther” movement in 2004 when he published his first expose on the misrepresentations Barack Obama had made about his family history. (Please see link #1 below). Andy knew of Barack Obama from Obama’s days in the Illinois State Senate and thus was in a unique position to research and investigate the man who eventually became president, please see link #2 below.

“The original Birther movement which I created was based on Obama‘s refusal to release his long-form birth certificate in 2008,” Andy says. “Obama had issued a computerized record, a certificate of live birth, but not the original document. I sued in Hawai’i to release the original document and the Birther movement was born out of my litigation and Internet columns.

“I always maintained Obama was born in Hawai’i. Later crazies took over the movement and proposed increasingly irrational and unfounded claims Obama was born in Kenya. I never supported those claims in any way.

“Nevertheless the Kenya theorists eventually took control of Birtherism and I walked away and disassociated myself. Donald Trump was a late arrival. He never sent anyone to Hawai’i and no doubt just took my own original research and used it himself. I have asked Trump to release his records and he never has.

“Nevertheless until this week the Birther issue was dead-as-a-door-nail until Clinton operatives decided they could use the issue to agitate their ‘base.’ But using Obama's birth certificate is a desperate and counterproductive maneuver. Voters know Obama is not on the ballot. People are going to be turned off by the Clinton/CBC actions.

“Trump dealt with the matter as best he can, and today he finally closed the book. End of story.

“The ‘base’ Clinton is trying to agitate is not the base they are losing. So instead of benefiting Clinton, the latest effort to exploit Birtherism is almost certainly going to boomerang on Clinton and the CBC with independent voters and millennials.

“I will hold a news conference in Forest Hills, NY York Saturday morning to further detail my beliefs and conclusions.

“Ironically, the man who ultimately created the Birther movement was Obama himself. He and Michele would constantly drop hints that Kenya was ‘home.’ They never disavowed claims by Kenyan politicians that he had been born there. They falsely claimed that a ‘granny’ was his grand mother, even though she was senile and claims to have been present at Obama’s birth, which was obviously delusional. Obama fed the Birther movement because he has shamelessly use Birther catnip to irritate and frustrate the right. He is the real ‘founder’ of doubts about his origins.

“For myself, he never fooled me. I always believed Obama was 100% American born, even though his emotional and psychological loyalties may lie elsewhere.”

Conservative scholar and author Andy Martin says President Barack Obama is “serving up ‘Kenyan catnip’ to a gullible American public;” Andy also challenges Donald Trump to “put up or shut up”

Conservative New Hampshire Republican Party leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin has been investigating and exposing President Barack Obama for ten (10) years, long before the national media paid any attention to the actual facts about Obama’s life, instead of Obama’s self-serving “nativity story” about his links to Kenya. Obama is now in Kenya once again peddling his “African” roots although there is at least a reasonable basis to doubt the accuracy and authenticity of that narrative. Andy was the first independent investigator to go to Hawai’i, in 2008; he looked into alternative theories that might explain Obama’s family origins. Andy returns to Honolulu in September, 2015 to continue his research into Obama’s background. In August, 2015 he will conduct a combined Obama/political conference in Washington, DC. In the following column Andy also challengers Donald Trump to “put up or shut up.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Obama continues to claim that his family origins are in Kenya, when there is a reasonable basis to doubt that claim

National media, in response to relentless prodding from Andy Martin, are at least starting to present a better picture of Obama’s “relatives”

Andy says, “Obama can’t pick and choose what he wants to acknowledge about his family history. If he wants to claim he is Kenyan, then he has to also admit that virtually all of his Kenyan relatives, including his late father, are Muslims”

In September, Andy returns to Hawai’i to continue his scholarly research on Obama

Please join us for an Obama political festival in Washington, DC August 14-16, 2015

Andy also drops a “stinker” on Donald Trump: “Donald should put up or shut up about his “investigators” and what they “found” in 2012; I question whether he sent anyone and whether he discovered anything. Mr. Trump, please show us the evidence

(Manchester, NH) (July 25, 2015) 

The media are full of glowing reports concerning President Barack Obama’s latest trip to Kenya (see links below). Nevertheless, there is a reasonable basis to question whether Obama in fact has Kenyan roots. And, if Obama is indeed Kenyan, why is there no mention of the fact that almost all of his Kenyan relatives are Muslims and adhere to the Islamic faith? Obama can’t cherry-pick which aspects of his “nativity story” he wants to present to the gullible American public. So right now a little truth serum might go a long way in reviewing the history of Obama’s origins.

First, let me point out one inescapable fact, a fact which explains why Obama’s supporters intensely dislike me: I have always maintained, and maintain today, that Obama was born in Hawai’i. The claims of some who have misused my earlier scholarly research and stated that Obama was born in Kenya are wrong. Period.

There is neither a rational nor a factual basis to believe Obama himself was born in Kenya. Where did the “Obama was born in Kenya” meme really originate? It was instigated by Obama himself. Barack and Michele have played mind games with his more credulous adversaries. Obama loves to drop hints about his Kenya origins so Obama-haters can lap up these misleading suggestions.

Obama dislikes me because I stick to the facts and search for the truth, wherever that leads me.

Deal with it: Obama was born in Hawai’i.

Is it possible that Obama is really the son of Barack Obama from Kenya? Very possible but, on balance, not very probable. Let me explain why.

First, a little history. Over the past decade, Obama and his cronies have harassed, abused and smeared me not because I lied about him, but because I told the truth. Next month we are going to hold a three-day event in Washington, DC, August 14-16; you are invited and welcome to attend. Two days of the conference will be devoted to examining my scholarly research on Obama. One day will focus on the tenth (10th) anniversary on what I claim is the most significant blog post in Internet history: my August 10, 2005 posting and news conference exposing that Obama’s narrative “Dreams From My Father” was fictionalized and that Obama was not in reality who he claimed to be. In 2015, he still isn't.

Fact #1: I exposed that Obama’s “father” (as I believed him to be in 2005) had fled to the United States because of his family’s involvement with the Mau Mau rebellion. Obama attacked me for exposing that fact and disclosing his Mau Mau ties. Later, when Obama went to London as president he admitted his grandfather had been imprisoned as a Mau Mau. This weekend Obama is meeting with the son of the original leader of the Mau Mau, “Burning Spear” Kenyatta. So my August 10, 2005 accusation that Obama had concealed his family history was later confirmed by Obama himself - after he was elected and safely ensconced in the White House.

Fact #2: Barack Obama’s putative father was a married man in Kenya when he left to study in the United States. He had a wife and children back home. In those days there was no Internet and no Google and no search engines to fact check around the world. Two sub facts follow from the basic fact of his marriage: (A) To assume the Kenyan Obama married president Obama’s mother, you have to believe he came to this country and deliberately committed a criminal act, bigamy. (B) No state in the United states recognizes a bigamous marriage. Thus, Obama’s parents were never legally married in Hawai’i. Perhaps that is why I could never find marriage license. (There is, however, evidence of a putative “divorce” from Obama’s actual mother and his “father;” one lie led to another.)

The “relatives” (half-relatives) Obama is visiting now in Kenya are products of his father’s “first” Kenyan marriage. (Obama pére also married a second time in the United States and there is a second set of half-siblings).

Fact: Going into 2007, the Chicago Sun-Times and many other media were accepting Obama’s claim that he had a “granny” in Kenya. Media finally, in 2015, are identifying her as a step-grandmother. The claim that “Grandma Sarah” was present at his father’s birth was always nonsense. The elderly lady was in all probability senile. First, she was exploited by Obama himself, who fed the false “granny” narrative to the media. Then Sarah was exploited by Obama’s opponents in 2008, when they used her to sustain their claim that Obama was born in Kenya. Obama provoked the lies in the first instance, and then he tried to profit a second time by seeking to attack those lies when they were parroted back by his opponents (which did not include me).
I was never fooled by Obama’s “Granny Sarah” nonsense. But the way in which Obama used Sarah shows how he uses false narratives to mislead his adversaries, and then attacks his opponents for accepting his own lies.

I have a theory about who is President Obama’s real father, both his biological father and his spiritual father, and that man is not Barack Obama of Kenya. When I became the first independent investigator to land in Hawai’i in 2008 I focused on Frank Marshall Davis. I was making overtures to Obama’s genuine maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who was still alive when Obama suddenly diverted his campaign airplane to Honolulu.

This is my theory. I do not present my theory as a fact, because the facts are still missing. But what I presented as a theory in 2008 has come to be accepted by many Americans in the years following my initial presentation. You can also view the film I made on Obama in Hawai’i (the first one to do so) by going to www.BoycottHawaii.com.

My theory is that Frank Marshall Davis, another married man, was Obama’s biological father. Due to his marital circumstances, Davis could not acknowledge his nonmarital child. So he paid off the Kenyan Barack Obama to pose as the “father.” Obama/father and his “wife” never even moved in together. What kind of a “marriage” was it when Obama’s “parents” did not even move in together despite the fact Obama/father had an apartment in Honolulu? Obama-the-father never “abandoned” his son because the president was not biologically his son.

Five people knew the truth. Obama’s maternal grandparents, Obama-the-father and Obama’s mother, and Davis. They are all dead. Until we can get a DNA test, my theory will remain just that, a theory. Davis has children in Hawai’i and elsewhere and we will in due course learn the truth, namely whether my theory is correct or incorrect. Obama may even pull a Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner style switcheroo and “discover” that Davis is his father - but only after Obama leaves the White House. You heard it here first.

Obama did not learn the truth about his parentage until after Frank Marshall Davis was dead, which explains his passive-aggressive hostility to his mother and grandparents. That was why “Frank” is the only person mentioned by name as a male figure in Hawai’i in his “autobiography” “Dreams.” “Pops” (Obama’s grandfather) took him to visit Davis on a regular basis. Why? Because “Pops” knew the truth. Obama largely ignored his grandmother in Hawai’i until he learned I was snooping around in Honolulu. Then he decided to make a surprise trip to visit her in the middle of his presidential campaign (October, 2008). She died soon after.

There are two aspects to my writing about Obama:

Politically, I do not like the man and oppose his policies. I express political opinions that are highly critical of him. But my “politics” has nothing to do with my scholarly research.

When I dig into Obama’s family origins, and other aspects of his early years in Hawai’i, California and New York, I am simply looking for the facts and searching for the truth. When looking into biographical information about Obama I maintain the highest standards of independent scholarly research.

Despite the fact he has been in the White House for over six years we still know very little about Barack Obama’s origins. He peddles his nativity story to gullible supporters and liberal suckers in the mainstream media. But if you scratch below the surface, the many questions about Obama’s family history are not difficult to find.

On August 10 2005 I published the first objective, verifiable truth about Obama. History has confirmed I was 100% correct in my analysis and presentation.

Please wait for details about our conference August 14-16, and join us on that momentous weekend in Washington, August, 2015 when we revisit and celebrate my historic blog posting exposing Obama as a fraud. In the meantime, take everything Obama says about his origins (did he remind you during his current visit to Kenya that his father was buried in a Muslim funeral in Kenya? Surprise.) with a big dose of skepticism.

In September, I return to Honolulu. My scholarly research continues.

STAY TUNED FOR announcements concerning a momentous weekend in American history, Washington, DC August 14-16. Details will follow.

P.S. In 2012, Donald Trump claimed he had sent “investigators” to Hawai’i and “you won’t believe what they are finding.” I don’t believe Trump sent anyone and I don’t believe he or they “found” anything. Now that Trump is an actual, legal candidate, he should be asked to document and disclose the details of his “investigation,” and tell us what we “shouldn’t believe.” He should be called on to put up or shut up. An actual candidate must be held to a much higher standard of truth than a mere business blatherer.
