San Francisco News Conference - Anti-Obama author Andy Martin launches national drive to “delegitimize” Obama


The author and instigator who launched the anti-Obama movement in 2004 will hold a San Francisco news conference today, November 26th, to announce a new nationwide drive to “delegitimize” President Obama’s remaining time in office. Andy Martin’s original disclosure in 2004 that Obama’s “autobiography” was largely fictionalized and that Obama had been born a Muslim triggered an Internet-based tidal wave of doubts about Obama’s fitness for the presidency. Andy is a maverick GOP activist based in New Hampshire. His new campaign will work to undermine Obama’s legitimacy as the president continues to impose his anti-American agenda on the American people.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Attention San Francisco, National daybook/assignment editors

Announcement of San Francisco news conference Wednesday afternoon

Anti-Obama instigator and author Andy Martin announces he is launching a new national campaign to “delegitimize” President Barack Obama’s remaining time in office

Andy says Obama’s inner circle is circling the wagons as a presidential “administration” becomes a White House “cabal”

Andy accuses Obama of creating a de facto “license to burn” for African-Americans who disagree with the functioning of American democracy

(San Francisco, CA (November 26, 2014) Anti-Obama activist and author Andy Martin will hold a San Francisco news conference today, November 26th, to launch a new, nationwide effort to “delegitimize” the remaining time of the Obama Administration. Andy will organize and orchestrate the same type of Internet-based campaign that he developed in 2004 and that eventually led tens of millions of Americans to harbor doubts about Barack Obama’s origins and agenda.

“I can’t give Republicans in Washington the heart to fight,” Andy says, “but I can help ordinary Americans, conservatives and, yes, Republicans band together to challenge the increasingly unlawful and anti-American orientation of the Obama regime. Obama’s treatment of Secretary Chuck Hagel, who was ‘[un]ceremoniously’ kicked to the curb, reflects that Obama’s ‘circle’ is circling the wagons and his closest associates have adopted a de facto Anti-American orientation for the remainder of Obama’s presidency.”

Andy’s deep knowledge of Obama began when Obama was serving as an obscure state senator in the Illinois legislature. Andy’s knowledge of the inner workings of Chicago and Illinois politics allowed Andy to be ahead of the curve as Obama rose to national prominence. Andy’s 2004 news reporting on the fact that Barack Obama’s “autobiography” was largely fictionalized and that Obama had been born a Muslim is generally acknowledged as the origins of the anti-Obama movement in American politics and media (see link #1 below).

“I respect the office that Barack Obama holds,” Andy says, “and I respect Mr. Obama as the holder of that office. But I do not respect what he is doing to that office and to the American system of government.

“The confluence of (i) Obama’s lawless assault on our borders and immigration laws; (ii) the despicable way Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel was dumped; (iii) the latest disclosures about the tainted origins of Obamacare; (iv) the proto-socialist cascade of regulatory constriction of our economy and (v) the violent manner in which African-Americans have reacted to the unfortunate death of a teenager in Missouri with Obama fostering what has metastasized into a ‘license to burn’ in the African-American community, collectively reflect that Obama is actively working to destabilize and undermine American democracy. Obama and his associates have aggravated racial tensions in this nation in a way many thought was impossible. He has a malignant, anti-American agenda. The fact that Obama promotes NBC News racial huckster Al Sharpton as a ‘leader’ is a disgrace to the office of president.

“In a broader sense I have some sympathy for Barry (Barack). The man is lost. He enjoys the trappings of the White House, the ‘toys’ so to speak, but he is unable to lead the American people in a coherent and lawful manner.

“Obama was catapulted into the Oval Office by the Democratic Party and the liberal media despite the fact that he clearly lacked the credentials and experience to serve as president. Other, more-qualified African-American leaders were shunted aside to clear a path for Obama. Twice the American people were bamboozled into voting for Obama by the incompetence of the Republican Party’s presidential campaign leadership and the power of the media elite. We placed a man in the Oval Office who simply could not manage the duties and challenges of the position.

“Because I work primarily on the Internet my operations are not always visible. But the results of my efforts are very visible. Starting in 2004 I ultimately energized doubts about Obama among tens of millions of Americans. Others, such as Donald Trump, later misappropriated my efforts for their own self-promotion and political agenda. But what I began in 2004 eventually morphed into a massive movement, some of which I eventually came to disclaim.

“The time has come to refresh and renew my original tactics and efforts. There is still a great deal about Obama’s personal history that has been concealed from the American people; I continue my scholarly research. And I continue the same way that I have always proceeded, with scrupulous regard for the facts and with a single-minded search for the truth.”

When Obama announced his candidacy for president in 2007 Andy released a “Psychological Profile” based on traditional law enforcement standards. The Profile predicted that Obama would not be able to serve effectively as president. The accuracy of Andy’s 2007 prediction has obviously been confirmed in subsequent years. The Psychological Profile is available both online and in Andy’s bestselling book “Obama: The Man Behind the Mask.” Andy was the first to popularize the “mask” meme for Obama’s conflicted personality.

Andy recently returned from a new Obama investigation in Hawai’i. He will be releasing his latest research and writing about Obama in December.

While in San Francisco Andy can be reached on his cell phone (917) 664-9329.

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin predicted Barack Obama’s foreign policy paralysis - in 2007


As Barack Obama was announcing his candidacy for president in 2007 analyst/columnist Andy Martin prepared a “Psychological Profile of Barack Obama.” Andy’s analysis predicted with uncanny accuracy how Barack Obama would “freeze up” in the White House. Andy, who was in Iran in 1979 and 1980, remembers the disintegration of the U.S. Government under President Jimmy Carter. Andy’s analysis today focuses on the Russian attack on a Malaysian airliner Thursday, and President Obama’s casual response to the murder of 300 passengers. Andy is a Republican candidate for U.S. Senator in New Hampshire. “I’m not the leading candidate,” Andy says. “But I am the only Republican who can tackle Obama and stop his defeatist agenda. Granite Staters have an unusual opportunity to send a highly qualified candidate to Washington.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin compares his experiences during the Iran hostage crisis (1979-1980) to President Barack Obama’s current paralysis in the Oval Office

Andy says America is now being “held hostage” by a president who has only a tenuous connection to American exceptionalism, a president whose lack of competence and whose emotional detachment are creating a “perfect storm” for American foreign policy and American national security

Andy says Obama is a worse president than Jimmy Carter

(Manchester, NH) (July 18, 2014) 

Dear Republican:

If you have seen the movie “Argo” you know how Hollywood portrays Iran in January, 1980. I was actually in Iran in January, 1980 and vividly remember the experience. In an extraordinary journey, I traveled across Iran encountering situations which were so dangerous I can barely understand how I took each step. My Afghan counterpart [he was later killed in Afghanistan] and I literally drove to the Afghanistan border with Iran and linked up with the mujahideen who were fighting the Russian invasion.

Thirty-five years later, we are once again fighting the Russians. Quite unexpectedly, the Cold War has returned.

I had originally planned to write to you today about Scott Brown’s failed U. S. Senate campaign in New Hampshire. But I put aside my Brown notes after learning of the senseless slaughter of 298 airline passengers and after witnessing President Barack Obama’s detached reaction to the attack on these helpless human beings. My remarks on Brown will hopefully reach you on Saturday. (Brown is not going anywhere before then.)

I not only lived through the Carter era I was in Tehran during the hostage crisis at the American Embassy. I saw the chaos created by Carter’s confused and ambiguous foreign policy. Those who missed the “Carter Years” can now relive them as the “Obama Years.” Chaos has returned. History is repeating itself. America is once again being held hostage. This time by our own president.

Unlike my opponents for the U. S. Senate I am not a politician in the conventional sense of the term. Yes, I can handle the “politics” of a campaign. And I know how to campaign (again unlike my opponents). But I have primarily been involved in public service and fostering the “exceptionalism” that all of us who love America understand.

Obama does not appreciate or accept American exceptionalism, which is why he is a colossal failure as a president.

In a couple of weeks I will “celebrate” ten (10!) years since I first exposed Barack Obama as a political fraud (see link below). I wrote my first criticism of Obama in August, 2004. What distinguishes me as a candidate is that I am probably the only Republican who has delved deeply into Obama’s psyche and analyzed the source of his ambivalence and antipathy to our great nation.

When Obama announced his candidacy in 2007 I prepared a “Psychological Profile of Barack Obama.” The Profile is part of my book “Obama: The Man Behind the Mask.” We often pass out free copies of a special edition of “Mask” for New Hampshire Republicans. Others have to pay for a copy.

In 2007 I gathered up all of the information we knew about Obama and added my own independent research. I sifted through the evidence with friends and colleagues. And here is what I predicted if Obama reached the Oval Office (pp. 9-10 of “Mask”):


Can his personality stand the stress? Probably not…And, ultimately, he will get tired of himself…Obama’s personality matrix left Obama weak inside, weak under the surface, “all sail and no anchor.” He learned to avoid conflict, not fight…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. And know it...War is war, but war is also psychology. Obama’s psychology is weak. His presentation today [in February 2007] was weak, and his approach to dealing with his adversaries will ultimately come to be seen as weak.


Sound familiar? Sound like the Obama we know and do not love? I analyzed him and predicted his weakness in office - in 2007. Even liberals have finally realized Obama is not a fighter. He won’t fight for their causes. If he won’t fight for his “base,” why would he battle on behalf of a country he doesn’t love and could care less about?

Against a cold-blooded KGB agent like Vladimir Putin, Obama doesn’t stand a chance. And we are the victims.

That is why Obama was so unemotional and detached on Thursday when he learned about the Russian attack on the Malaysian airliner. That is also why we still don’t know what he did on the evening of September 11, 2012 when our mission in Benghazi, Libya was attacked.

Obama can’t deal with the real world and embrace his obligation to defend our Constitution and our national security. Obama prefers to live in the fantasy world of campaign fundraisers and celebrity hobnobbing.

Obama is still “The Man Behind the Mask.” I got him right in 2007.


Loyally,

Andy

P.S. I may be an underdog in the primary but I am the only Republican candidate who has the experience and who is prepared to stand up to Obama and stop his defeatist/surrenderist agenda. It is not often a “political candidate” has the worldwide experience I do. Please consider giving me your vote. Who is more qualified to fight for your values? Who is more qualified to take on Obama?

-----

ujntsman wasd reelected in November, 2008. A few monrths later he resigned to serve
his president,” Barack Obama. SDo whyh was it so terrible that Palin resigned and Hutsman served evenless of his secondterm? Can I say “double standard” again.

What os this show us? Whetyher thessue s resigfnaitonsor religion,th emedia shamlessly create double standards tgo favr theiiberal medioa pets (fulldisclosure; I am ot aliberalmedia pet).

Conservative powerhouse Andy Martin returns to Hawai’i: Obama investigations continue

America’s leading independent conservative investigator and columnist announces his return to Honolulu to continue his precedent-setting investigation into the family history of President Barack Obama. Andy Martin’s pioneering research in Hawai’i launched many subsequent investigations by other authors and producers. Andy continues with his Hawai’i investigations and says “We have a briefing book which is already packed with new leads about Obama’s past. September 25th we’ll be on the ground in Honolulu pursuing all of them.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin returns to Honolulu on September 25th to continue his research and investigation into President Barack Obama’s “Hawai’i years”



Andy continues to lead his nationwide “Anti-Obama underground” on the Internet and to work clandestinely to defeat Obama for reelection



Andy invites interested researchers to join his research team in Hawai’i



Andy says he has a “briefing book” full of new investigative leads to pursue as he returns to Obama’s birthplace



(HONOLULU) (September 12, 2012)



Dear Reader:



Aloha!



Eight years ago, in August, 2004, I exposed that Barack Obama was a political fraud. I exposed that Obama’s “autobiography” was mostly a work of fiction, and that in critical respects it involved nonexistent characters. I asked Obama’s publisher to move the book from biography to fiction. No one wanted to hear the truth about Obama. Obama has continued to profit personally from publishing his lies, and he has collected millions of dollars in royalties for a work of fiction.



Four years ago, in October, 2008, I became the first independent investigator to land in Honolulu to look into Obama’s family history. My precedent-setting lawsuit in the Hawai’i courts exposed how local officials were hiding Obama’s birth certificate. The case created a nationwide firestorm that gave “birth” to the “Birther” movement. Today over 100 million Americans continue to have doubts about Obama’s origins.



MSNBC host Chris Matthews reported on September 11th that 1/3 of Ohio Republicans still have doubts about Obama’s origins. (The mainstream media never report the percentage of Democrats who have doubts about Obama’s background.) The movement I created to question Obama’s family history is alive and well. (Watch for another column analyzing the Birther movement.)



Because of my research into Obama’s background I was attacked by the Washington Post, the New York Times and broadcast media. CNN ridiculed my research in Honolulu even though the network had hired a camera crew to follow much of my activity in Hawai’i (video link below). CNN actually taped the lawsuit-in-progress.



The movement I created was “born” on the Interest and continues to spread on the Internet. That’s why ContrarianCommentary.com became the “Internet Powerhouse.”



My research in Honolulu yielded a surprise theory (and I want to emphasize and underline it is still a theory): Barack Obama was actually the biological son of Frank Marshall Davis, not Barack Obama of Kenya. When I announced my “Davis” theory in Honolulu in 2008 I was attacked by News Corporation’s geriatric Rupert Murdoch, who retroactively revoked an invitation his network had given me for what became the most explosive cable network program of the 2008 presidential campaign (video link blow to Hannity’s America). Obama’s media henchman Robert Gibbs went on Fox News to attack me with extraneous accusations based on a lawsuit over a quarter of a century old, where I was the victim of a crime.



My research in Honolulu has stood the test of time. In eight years of writing and research, neither Obama nor anyone else has ever undermined any of the facts I brought forward. It took the Washington Post’s David Maraniss eight (8!) years to catch up with my research (which he failed to credit). Maraniss was still too afraid of repercussions from Obamabots to even mention the “Davis” theory.



Yesterday’s New York Post has a full-page ad for a DVD that advertises “Barack Obama’s real father — Frank Marshall Davis.” I have never met auteur Joel Gilbert and cannot vouch for the movie itself. A new book on Davis also points in the direction of Obama’s biological father being Davis. As I have worked with the puzzle of Obama’s past over the past four years, most of the episodes in Obama’s early life make no sense without the presence of Davis. With Davis in place all of the pieces of Obama’s Hawai’i years fit snugly. More and more analysts are agreeing with my “Davis” theory.



I also produced the first Hawai’i movie in 2009 providing “pictures” of some of the Honolulu way stations in Obama’s life (video link below). You can view the movie in segments.



Why has my research been increasingly accepted, and stood the test of time, while other Obama writers turned out to be flash-in-the-pans? There are two reasons.



First, although I am a political opponent of Obama, and will be announcing a new anti-Obama effort in Manchester, New Hampshire next week, I have scrupulously separated my political views from my scholarly research. If I can’t prove a fact, I won’t allege it. If I have a theory, I label my views a theory, not a fact. I keep my political views and my scholarly research completely separate.



Second, I have not gone where the facts do not take me. Many people have written about Obama’s Kenya “birth.” Very honestly, I have never seen any evidence that would support such a claim. As a respected public interest litigator for forty-four years, I have a simple test: could I stand up in court and present Obama “evidence” to a federal judge? If not, the material is not “evidence” but merely argument or speculation.



Orly Taitz, who is a favorite of the liberal media because she is so over-the-top — the liberals love to feature her as a leader of the anti-Obama movement because Taitz is a caricature of Obama’s opposition with her heavy foreign accent and Soviet-era conspiracy theories – constantly files fictitious claims in courts (this is not to say I disagree with all of Taitz’ claims and theories, only that her dross drives out her legitimate issues). She has been sanctioned for some of her claims.



No judge has ever sanctioned any part of my Obama litigation. We often disagree on legal principles, but I have been extremely “conservative” with my pleadings and presentations in court.



I have also avoided the temptation to engage in conservative-style “Obama Derangement Syndrome,” the way liberals once attacked President George W. Bush with “Bush Derangement Syndrome.” In the words of Dragnet’s TV Sergeant Joe Friday, whose test I adopted as my own, “Just the facts, ma’am.”



So where do we go from here, and where do you fit in? Here are three principles to consider:



First, I no longer consider myself a leader of “Birthers” per se. Rather the movement I launched in 2004 and expanded in 2008 has become the “Anti-Obama Underground.” We operate on the Internet beyond mainstream media manipulation and control. Even Obama continues to recognize the potency of doubts about his family history. He jokes about his “birth certificate” fairly regularly. That’s Obama’s version of gallows humor. Obama knows that my seminal efforts have grown into an enormous but amorphous movement that he can’t stamp out and that now numbers over 100 million Americans with varying doubts about Obama’s character, religion and family history.



Second, if you would like to join our research team in Honolulu, and see some of our activity in action, please get in touch. We land in Honolulu two weeks from today, September 25th, with a fresh briefcase of material including explosive new leads to verify and investigate. We don’t charge a penny to “join the team.” It’s free. Just make your own way to Honolulu and your own arrangements for a place to stay there. Let us know if you are coming.



Third, in the remaining days of the campaign I will be launching various operations which are all directed at defeating Barack Obama for reelection. One of the popular memes of the left is that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell launched the “defeat Obama” effort on inauguration day in 2009. The truth is somewhat different. I launched the “defeat Obama” movement in 2008. The sad truth is that Republicans from Senator John McCain on down to his campaign staff were totally incompetent and unable to understand how to deal with Obama’s opaque personal history. Republican Party incompetence helped elect Obama president in 2008.



I pray Mitt Romney doesn’t make the same mistake. Character counts in the Oval Office. The American people ignore that reality at their own peril. Romney has to raise doubts about Obama’s character and integrity (e.g., would a writer lie about his “autobiography? Obama did).



Despite my eight years of efforts to expose Obama, and four years of efforts to defeat him, I will continue to base my reporting on the facts and only the facts. My opinions are opinions based on my analysis of the incomplete evidence and my synthesis of the missing threads in the Obama tapestry.



Ironically, Obama enjoys and exploits the most outrageous “Birthers” because he uses extreme Birthers to excite his base. Obama dislikes me because I have the “Chicago experience” to know where Obama's dirty tricks come from, and to expose how Obama has exported the “Chicago Way” to the Oval Office.



If you know someone who would like to read my reporting and commentary, by all means invite them to join our list. Because ContrarianCommentary.com operates on a shoestring, we can’t accommodate everyone. But we always try to “make room for one more.”



For those of you who have been readers over the past decade, much of the foregoing is common knowledge. For our new readers, welcome. For America, a prayer that President Obama will become former president Obama on November 7th.



Andy

Andy Martin explains why Barack Obama’s prior drug abuse still matters

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, who then distanced himself from part of his creation, and who still controls the Internet’s anti-Obama agenda with Andy’s Hawai’i and Chicago-based research into Obama’s past, explains why Obama’s prior drug abuse is still relevant in the 2012 election cycle.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says Barack Obama’s history of drug abuse is “defining deviancy down” in the White House



Andy says the national media have a double standard, allowing drug abuse by Democrats and looking to expose Republicans for similar behavior



Andy asks why Obama’s “Choom Gang” story is being marginalized; the “Choom Gang” report deserves greater public attention, not cursory reporting on a holiday weekend



Andy says liberal media “dumped” Obama’s drug abuse story on the American people on a weekend when no one is really watching



Andy suggests the Washington Post has confirmed that “high school matters”



(NEW YORK)(May 29, 2012) Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, who then distanced himself from the more extreme elements of his creation, and who still controls the Internet’s anti-Obama agenda with Andy’s Hawai’i and Chicago-based research into Obama’s past, explains why Andy believes President Barack Obama’s drug abuse is relevant today:



When did the story of Barack Obama’s drug addiction reach the media? On Memorial Day weekend when most of us are focused on remembering our fallen heroes and celebrating with our families. Obama’s “Choom Gang” document dump was timed to reach Americans when they are least focused on politics and the media. Well, I do not believe we should overlook Obama’s history of drug abuse. We should not allow the media to manipulate us into reelecting a man with a history of drug abuse in his teen and college years. The American people have a right to ask Barack Obama the tough questions that were not asked in 2008.



Does “high school matter?” The Washington Post suggests that high school is very important. The Post created a front page media feeding frenzy over an incident involving Governor Mitt Romney’s high school years. Certainly the Post believes long-ago experiences in high school can still be front-page news when a Republican runs for president.



So where does that leave us with Barack Obama’s high school drug abuse and college drug abuse? Media silence. Consider:



First, since Obama was no doubt abusing drugs into his 20’s, Obama’s drug abuse is a lot closer to the present time than Mitt Romney’s high school hijinks. Obama was a drug user well into adulthood.



Second, while I disagree with Governor Sarah Palin on many issues, I completely agree with her that Obama was never properly vetted by the media in 2008. So while “Obama” is running for “reelection” in 2012, he is still an unknown to most Americans. I wrote a book about “Obama: the Man Behind The Mask,” and laid the foundation for future Obama writing and research. But my book was not read by tens of millions of Americans. Obama is still “the man behind the [media] mask” in 2012.



Third, the way Obama has been treated by the media is a classic example of “defining deviancy down.” The late Senator Daniel Moynihan coined the term “defining deviancy down” (link below) to explain how society can undermine its own standards and security when it tolerates seemingly innocuous anti-social behavior. Moynihan showed how tolerating minor acts of “deviant” behavior can lead to major social problems as tolerance for deviant behavior increases and spreads to more serious societal matters.



Fourth, other columnists have commented on the fact that this is the first time in a long time we have two presidential candidates with no military experience. In other words, we are electing a “commander-in-chief” who has never commanded and never been a chief in any military unit. While battlefield experience should never be a sine qua non for presidential leadership, some exposure to the concept of military policy is always helpful when the person we choose must “lead” our fighting forces and make military policy.



Since we can no longer look at their military leadership as exemplars of their character, looking at other factors becomes essential when we evaluate the leadership qualities of presidential candidates.



Fifth, we learned during the Clinton years, when President Bill Clinton had an insatiable sexual appetite and an inability to control his impulses right into the Oval Office, that a generation of children (now young graduates in their 20’s) were exposed to the complexities of adult sexuality while still in grade school. Clinton defined deviancy down in a way that reached into every home. Clinton also came up with the notorious expression “I didn’t inhale” to explain away his own marijuana experimentation.



Sixth, while drug experimentation and marijuana use are widespread, the vast majority of the American public has never engaged in the type of serious drug abuse Obama admitted to in his teens (and likely well into his 20’s). Obama says he was virtually addicted to marijuana and bought all of the cocaine he could afford. How many Americans today fit Obama’s drug abuse profile? Not many.



So when you tie all of these threads together, what do they mean?



We are “defining deviancy down” in the White House when we elect or reelect a person who has history of drug abuse. The issue is as simple as that.



Ask any school administrator, local police force or our national anti-drug leaders, “Is drug abuse a problem?” The answer is “yes.” So why would we elect someone to the presidency whose very presence in the White House undermines the anti-drug message?



Recently in South Carolina (see links below) both a Republican and a Democrat were knocked out of a congressional race by sex scandals. In South Carolina, at least, people know where the line is drawn. Sex scandals and public hypocrisy are unacceptable.



But there does not appear to be a similar “bright line” for the presidency. Yet. Maybe I can help draw one.



Let me put the question to you another way. Do we want to have standards for moral conduct and personal behavior for those we consider electing to the presidency? Or does “anything go?” Are we willing to overlook and forgive and forego any examination of serious drug abuse in the candidates we consider for the presidency just because the abuse took place in a candidate’s high school years or early 20’s? The Washington Post has already told us “high school counts” when evaluating conservative candidates. How about liberals? Do their high school and college experiences also matter in considering their qualifications?



My purpose in writing these remarks is not to preach. It is to raise the question of whether because of Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and Barack Obama’s drug abuse we have begun a slow but seriously destructive public policy of overlooking a candidate’s personal behavior.



How can a president or first lady proclaim a national policy of “fighting drug abuse” when we elect a man to serve as president who has a history of drug abuse? Is our policy “forgive and forget?” Or should there be consequences for earlier drug abuse?



During the 2000 presidential campaign I was criticized by Republicans for raising the question of then-Governor George W. Bush’s drug abuse and alcoholism. Like Obama, Bush was a drug and alcohol abuser well into his 20’s. Jeb Bush, the governor’s brother, attacked me and corrupted his gubernatorial power to harass me. Ari Fleischer, now a CNN “contributor,” also attacked me. But drug abuse was as relevant to Bush as it is to Obama. In speaking to what should be a “national” policy I do not recognize a double standard for Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals. I have questioned whether candidates of both parties should be held to account. I am consistent. The liberal media have not been.



The American people need to demand, as I have been demanding since 2004 (see links below), that Barack (Obama stop lying to us and “come clean.” The American people have a right to demand that the media either “do their job” or step aside so that new media and independent media can examine Obama’s drug abuse and provide facts for an intelligent discussion on Obama’s fitness to serve as president.



As I said in 2008, and repeat today in 2012, Barack Obama is still very much “The Man Behind the Mask.” By refusing to examine Obama’s personal past the American people have been “defining deviancy down” without even realizing that is what we are doing.



I warned about Obama in 2008; many did not want to listen. I’m issuing warnings about him in 2012. We’ll see if voters listen this time. Obama has hinted to us what “reelection” means to him; freedom for him to destroy our institutions and to impose his radical socialist agenda by presidential diktat. He has also comforted his Russian buddies with the knowledge that it’s “reelection time.”



Obama himself has warned us big time what he plans to do if he is reelected; it’s no longer “high school.” In this election cycle Obama is “for real.”



I’m scared about Obama. Are you? Let’s have an intelligent discussion, deal with Obama’s facts, and ask voters to do likewise.

NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE: Andy Martin says Barack Obama must “come clean” concerning Obama’s drug abuse

Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, who then distanced himself from part of his creation, and who still controls the Internet’s anti-Obama agenda with Andy’s Hawai’i and Chicago-based research into Obama’s past, will hold a New York news conference today, Saturday, May 26, 2012 to demand that Barack Obama respond to Saturday’s “Choom Gang” stories and disclose all of his illegal drug abuse. Andy says Obama may be using David Maraniss to “launder” Obama past’s abuses and to provide cover for Obama’s on Obama’s fictional “autobiography” “Dreams From My Father.” “Obama won’t get away with it,” Andy says. “Our last investigation in Hawai’i was a blockbuster.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND NEW YORK DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says Barack Obama must “come clean” with the American people over Obama’s drug abuse



Andy says the national media have a double standard, highlighting trivialities in Mitt Romney’s teen years while ignoring serious drug abuse in Obama’s past



Andy asks why Obama’s “Choom Gang” story is being marginalized; “If Mitt Romney smoked dope, where would that story be in the newspaper and on evening news? On page One.”



“Try to find today’s (Saturday’s) ‘Choom Gang’ story in the New York Times,” Andy says. “The Times buried it”



Andy says Obama owes the American people a full explanation because Obama’s own “autobiography” (“Dreams From My Father”) is fiction



Andy suggests Obama may be using David Maraniss to “launder” Obama’s past abuses and to provide “cover” for Obama’s fictional “autobiography” “Dreams from My Father”



(NEW YORK)(May 26, 2012) Internet Powerhouse and Conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, who then distanced himself from the more extreme elements of his creation, and who still controls the Internet’s anti-Obama agenda with Andy’s Hawai’i and Chicago-based research into Obama’s past, will hold a New York news conference today, Saturday, May 26, 2012 to demand that Obama “come clean” with the American people about Obama’s teenage drug addiction.



“Obama can’t tell us to read his ‘autobiography,’” Andy says. “In 2004 I was the first to prove that Obama’s ‘autobiography,’ ‘Dreams From My Father,’ was a work of fiction. (link below) Reporters in 2004-2008 were lying to the American people. Obama has made millions with an ‘autobiography’ that lies to readers and is almost entirely composed of imaginary ‘composite’ characters. Well Obama’s cocaine and marijuana abuse was not a ‘composite.’ Stay tuned for our own Hawai’i-based reporting.



“A few days ago we saw the Washington Post sensationalize a Mitt Romney story from high school, on page one. The Post created an anti-Romney feeding frenzy.



“Where is the Post’s page one interest in Obama’s drug abuse? (links below) The New York Times has ‘buried’ today’s ‘Choom Gang’ story. What would the Post and New York Times be saying if Mitt Romney had used cocaine? And if Romney had covered up his cocaine and marijuana abuse by using fictional ‘composite’ characters in a Romney ‘autobiography’ that was a ‘book of lies?’ Whoa, Nellie.



“It maybe that Obama is using Washington Post writer David Maraniss’ new book to ‘launder’ Obama’s past misdeeds. Maraniss notes that Obama glorified his drug dealer in his Punahou School yearbook. Who lists his drug dealer in a high school yearbook? Or was ‘Ray’ another fictional ‘composite’ character? Americans have a right to know. What’s ‘real’ about Obama. And what’s a lie?



“You can go way back to 2004 and see my comments about Obama have been generally accurate (links below). In the same period Obama has established he is a cunning, pathological liar. Liberal media say we should ‘forget’ about Obama’s past. But the American people know Obama was never ‘vetted’ in 2008. Why should anyone vote for an admitted drug addict that wants to live in the White House? Federal law bars drug users from living in public housing.



“Obama owes the American people more of an explanation that his bogus autobiography replete with fictional ‘composite’ characters provides,” Andy says.

HONOLULU NEWS CONFERENCE Conservative blogger Andy Martin says Barack Obama blocks access to Obama’s original Hawai’i birth certificate

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, will hold a Honolulu news conference Tuesday, May 8th to charge that President Barack Obama is blocking access to Obama’s original Hawai’i birth certificate. “Obama wants us to rely on his ‘copy’ of the original,” Andy charges. “But he does not want us to see the actual original piece of paper. Scholarly research is based on access to original texts, not Internet facsimiles. Obama is ‘de-legitimizing’ himself. He tries to manipulate his ‘image’ by providing access to sympathetic liberal journalists such as David Maraniss of the Washington Post; anyone who might be skeptical is ignored. Obama is stonewalling. Is it any wonder the American people don’t trust either Obama or his web-based birth certificate?”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF [HAWAII] PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND HAWAII DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin says President Obama is blocking access to Obama’s original Hawai’i birth certificate



Andy says Obama tries to manipulate the truth by granting access to sympathetic liberal writers such as David Maraniss, and censoring conservatives and independents



Andy says Obama’s tactics are backfiring and explain the new anti-Obama firestorm (see North Carolina article below) which results from Obama’s continuing claims of secrecy for Obama’s original, official document



Andy says Obama’s “shucking and jiving” over access to the original is fueling national suspicion as to the authenticity of the White House facsimile birth certificate posted on the Internet



(HONOLULU) (May 8, 2012) Independent Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement and then distanced himself from his creation, will hold a Honolulu news conference today, Tuesday, May 8, 2012 to charge that President Barack Obama is denying scholarly and research access to the original copy of his Hawai’i birth certificate.



Andy wrote to Obama seeking permission for access, and Obama has failed to respond.



“Once again we see Barack Obama shooting himself in the foot,” Andy says. “Obama gives favored access to sympathetic liberals such as David Maraniss, and ‘stonewalls’ everyone else. Why, if Obama has released a ‘copy’ of the original copy of his Hawai’i birth certificate, would Obama refuse to allow public access to the typewritten original document? Whether you dislike Obama or love him, he is a fact of American history. His ‘birth certificate’ is a historical document.



“Most states would proudly display the original document in the state archives. Only the smugglers in Hawai’i seek to keep Obama’s original document under lock-and-key.



“Having issued what he said was a copy of the original, why is Obama refusing to allow scholar access to the actual original? Obama is de-legitimizing himself.



My letter to Obama—which has gone unanswered—is self-explanatory:

President Barack Obama

The White House

Washington, DC 20500

via fax (202) 456-2461



Request for authorization to view and copy

original 1961 Hawai’i birth certificate



Dear President Obama:



I am writing to request written authorization from you directed to the State of Hawai’i authorizing me to view and copy your original 1961 birth certificate.



In 2011 you released a copy of your 1961 birth document. Some people, not including me, questioned the authenticity of that document. (I expressed no opinion.) Sheriff Joe Arpaio recently suggested your document may be a forgery. I don’t know.



I am an independent researcher and scholar who is only interested in finding the facts and searching for the truth.



I am leaving for Hawai’i in May to continue my research into your family history and I would like to view and copy the original document at that time. I would like to hold the original and give it a close look.



Scholarly research is always based on access to and examination of original texts, not copies. I was taught how to conduct scholarly research in the Bodleian Library at Oxford over fifty years ago.



In 2008 I filed the original lawsuit seeking access to your birth records.



There are two aspects to my request today.



First, your release of what you said in 2011 was a copy of the original may have waived any privacy or secrecy concerns on the part of state officials. If necessary, I could therefore file a “waiver” lawsuit under state law seeking access to the original. I would prefer not to sue if I can avoid it.



Second, if you authorize me to view the original document, and I attest to its authenticity, my review of the document may provide greater credibility for the document than your own release of a copy. The public record is clear that I have never subscribed to the “Kenyan birth” theory, and I have always maintained you were born in Hawai’i, which is why I sued in Hawaii in 2008 to see the original document.



If you send me a simple written authorization/direction to Hawai’i officials to review and copy the original 1961 document that will eliminate any need for a lawsuit and will expedite my access once I arrive in Honolulu.



On the issue of policy and political differences, I am very clearly one of your strongest and best informed opponents. Nevertheless, during my presidential campaign I have supported your policies in Libya and Iran.



On the other hand, when I conduct scholarly research I only dig for the truth and the facts. You may or may not be aware of my own theory (not fact) in which I claim your biological father may be Frank Marshall Davis.



Despite Frank’s left-leanings I find Frank an infinitely more interesting character (and potential father) that Barack Obama senior. You share a lot of Frank’s qualities and characteristics. Still, my thoughts are only a theory at this time.



I hope you will provide written authorization for me to view the original Hawai’i document.



I think a letter directed at the Hawai’i Department of Health authorizing me to view and copy your original birth certificate would be sufficient under Hawai’i law.



If, on the other hand, you still claim any privacy or secrecy rights under Hawai’i law I would appreciate being advised of that fact as well. I will bring your response to the attention of the court.



Respectfully submitted,



ANDY MARTIN

Conservative blogger Andy Martin says Hawaii officials are still denying access to president Barack Obama’s original birth certificate

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement, will hold a Honolulu news conference Sunday, May 6th to announce that Hawai’i state officials are still denying access to President Obama’s original birth certificate. Andy’s presence in Hawai’i comes as a new Birther “explosion” is sweeping across the political landscape in the 2012 election season. “Why are Hawai’i officials illegally denying access to the original, when Obama claims he has released a ‘copy’ of the original,” Andy demands. Andy is in Honolulu continuing his research and investigation into President Obama’s “Hawai’i years. His earlier research into Obama’s past has recently been validated by the British government and other sources.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF [HAWAII] PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND HAWAII DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin says Hawai’i officials are still denying access to President Obama’s original birth certificate



Andy says Hawai’i officials cannot lawfully maintain secrecy of Obama’s original birth certificate when Obama claims to have released a “copy” and posted a “copy” on the official White House web site



Andy says that Hawai’i officials are creating a new anti-Obama firestorm (see North Carolina article below) by continuing to claim secrecy for Obama’s official records



(HONOLULU) (May 6, 2012) Independent Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin, the man who single-handedly created the anti-Obama “Birther” movement and then distanced himself from his creation, will hold a Honolulu news conference today, Sunday, May 6, 2012 to charge that Hawai’i officials are still illegally denying access to President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate.



Andy says, “President Obama claims to have made a ‘copy’ of his original birth certificate available. He even posted a copy of the copy on the official White House web site (link below). If the birth certificate is public, how can Hawaii officials seek to keep it private? Obama has waived any privacy or secrecy rights by publicly releasing what he says is a copy of an authentic document.



“One of the basic principles of scholarly research and writing is that scholars always want to examine the original. Researchers deal with reviewing original texts, not accepting web site reproductions of official records as alternatives. Even an original copy of the Declaration of Independence is available at the National Archives. What's wrong with Hawai’i?



“Hawai’i officials are embarrassing president Obama and lighting a match to a new firestorm of Birther controversy (see North Carolina link below). While I disassociate myself from extreme elements of the Birther movement, I believe it is absolutely necessary and appropriate for Hawaii officials to allow access and viewing of the original record now that the president has authorized release of that document. How can you say the document is ‘secret’ when the president has posted what he says is a copy of the document on the White House web site?”



Andy’s letter to Hawai’i officials follows (the response of Hawai’i officials is an attachment to emailed copies of this news release):

Re: President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate



Dear Director Fuddy:



Way back in 2008 I sued the HDOH when it refused to provide access to President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate. The mumbo jumbo at the time was that record was “secret.” Hawaii’s notoriously corrupt judicial system rubber-stamped the decision.



Since then President Obama has sent someone to Hawai’i, received a certified copy of the original document, and posted it on the White House web site. So the information contained on the original is no longer secret. Secrecy has been waived.



Nevertheless, as a scholar and historian I would like to examine the original document. Scholars and researchers always examine original texts and not electronic copies. The document is a historical archive.



I am coming to Honolulu next week and I would like to make arrangements to view the original copy of the Obama birth certificate. I assume you are no longer making arguments based on secrecy since the document is no longer secret.



Please let me know what arrangements can be made to view the original Obama birth certificate.



I would appreciate a response by fax or email as I am on the road a great deal and these come right to my computer.



Respectfully submitted,



ANDY MARTIN
