Was Obama Born in Kenya?
by Jeff Davis
The political blog “America’s Right” tells us: “A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.” The case goes on to claim that Obama was born in Kenya. That some of his relatives are witnesses to this fact, and that he and his mother had taken Indonesian citizenship (and renounced their US citizenship) when they lived there.
Now, the first thing that’s interesting about this story is that I Googled my head off, and I could not find hardly any mention of this event in any mainstream media source. It’s almost as if it didn’t happen. The lawsuit was filed in Philadelphia, and I can’t even find it on the Philadelphia Inquirer. It simply isn’t being reported in mainstream US news sources.
There are hundreds of references on the right-wing blogosphere and so far millions of words have been written about the action, so I assume that it did in fact happen and that it’s not some kind of hoax–Berg himself describes the suit on his web site–but as nearly as I can find without making a day-long quest out of it, not so much as a blip about this story has appeared anywhere on the mainstream media’s radar. Dead silence.
Anyway, back to the article on America’s Right, which notes “Philip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party. ‘I filed this action at this time,’ Berg stated, ‘to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”
Now, here’s the second interesting thing about this story. Berg is a Jew, and clearly from his track record part of the liberal Democratic party power structure, very much an insider. So what is he doing obstructing the first black nominee since it is supposedly the “will of the party” that he be the candidate? Which hat is he wearing, his Democrat hat or his Jewish yarmulke? Or his “I love Hillary” hat?
Back to the blog: “Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls dual loyalties due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia. Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries remains on the table.”
I suppose it all boils down to the Great Mystery: just precisely who is behind all this Barack Obama nonsense? How exactly did this young black simply pop up a year ago out of left field, with huge amounts of untraceable cash in his kitty and a smooth campaign operating team of seasoned professionals and handlers, when -before that- no one outside Illinois even knew who he was?
The lawsuit was not mentioned at the Democrat convention. Mr. Berg’s claimed intention of sorting this out before the nomination has failed.
At this late date, one has to be concerned with fraud. Democrats in the Hawaii state bureaucracy could easily have faked birth records for Obama by now. The only way to solve the Obama citizenship issue would be to find WITNESSES, who worked at the hospital in Kenya or Hawaii where Obama was born. Obama already released one document, which has been derided as fake to a website friendly to him. Curiously, Obama released another document to a so-called “factcheck” website. How do we know the second document wasn’t just a more elaborate fake than the first document?
