The Obama Files

A Twitter influencer recently dropped a thread on Barack Obama, revealing much that many had forgotten, and reminding people of his record.

Three evenings ago, a favorite source, Dom Lucre, Breaker of Narratives, dropped a long thread on Barack H. Obama. It covers his questionable associations in Chicago – and a “body count” of his own, though Hillary Clinton’s is higher. The thread even covers his “Certificate of Live Birth,” an equally questionable visit to Pakistan in 1981, and his use of the name “Barry Soetoro.” But more importantly still, it covers how Obama divided America along racial lines – while doing American blacks no favors.

About Barack Obama

Barack Obama, of course, needs no introduction. He held office as President for two terms and was one of the most controversial Presidents America ever had. Obama indelibly put his name on socialized medicine – which he passed under very questionable circumstances. A question arose early as to whether he was even eligible to the office he held. This question arose from two directions:

  • Whether his Certificate of Live Birth was even authentic, and if so, whether it established his place of birth, and
  • Whether or not he had alienage by reason of his father’s status.

Your editor examined a digital copy of that COLB and still has questions about it, to this day. But even without those questions, the question of parental alienage remains. Simply put, his father, Barack Hussein Obama Senior, was a British colonial subject at the time of “Junior”’s birth. Sadly, most people don’t understand why this is important. Your editor explained this eleven years ago. According to Emmerich de Vattel’s Law of Nations, a “natural born citizen” (without a hyphen) is one born:

  • In the territory of the country in question, or else
  • On a diplomatic or military station, or aboard a ship of the navy of the country or flying its flag,

to two citizen parents! Barack Obama clearly skated on this rule – as also did then-Vice-President Chester A. Arthur in 1881.

Bear all this in mind, in evaluating what follows.

The thread

Herewith the twenty-five-tweet thread – from one who looked up to Obama, and therefore expected much from him. Obama disappointed him, as readers will readily see.

Most Twitter users, reacting to this thread, agreed with its central premise:

But at least one user saw the funny side:

One other user told of doing an even more sophisticated analysis than your editor did – and reaching the same conclusion.

That same user shared this hour-and-seven-minute video by then-Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona. He investigated the Obama birth certificate along with his “cold case posse.”

Analysis

Most of the things Lucre covers – the questionable associations, the convenient deaths, Obama using the name Barry Soetoro, and especially the Certificate of Live Birth – are things perhaps enough people would have cited to vote against him, had they known. (Or perhaps not; one cannot underestimate some voters’ capacity for casting unwise, ill-informed, ill-considered votes.) They also speak to outright fraud, and raise anew the question of whether he was even eligible to the office.

The “Famous Last Words” of comedienne Joan Rivers, about Michelle Obama being a trans-woman, raise more questions. Where, if that’s true of Mrs. Obama, did their daughters come from?

But the most important and striking reminders in the thread concern Obama’s performance in office. One who pledged to unite rather than divide, divided instead – perhaps as intended.

Lucre is correct about another thing: identity politics has never been a “Republican thing.” Those who routinely try to identify the Republican Party – or at least the “MAGA faction” – with National Socialism, should consider this: why wouldn’t Obama seek genuinely to build a multi-racial coalition, if that kind of identification were at all valid? As Lucre says: that identification was not valid, and Obama knew it.

Donald R. Laster, Jr

And something else for people to learn is that Kamala Harris is not a natural born Citizen of the US and in fact she is at best a naturalized US citizen – if she was naturalized. Her non-US-Citizen parents were in the US on Student VISA and Amendment 14 did not give her US citizenship. Amendment 14 is discussed in the US Supreme Court Elk and Ark cases, thought the Ark case conflates citizen and subject many times. She invalidates the Biden/Harris ticket since the Electoral College is selecting the President as a team by law, and not explicitly by Amendment 12’s vote rules. There are no such people as “anchor babies”. Soil based citizenship is conditional on the parents having fealty to the US. Native Americans were made US citizens in 1924 by a law passed based upon Article 1 Section 8 Paragraph 4 of the US Constitution.

Keep in mind the issue brought up by a news paper was Chester A Arthur born before his parents became US citizen or after they became US citizens? He was born in the US. He always claimed to be born after they became US citizens – possibly a day or two after – but after they became US citizens, which would mean he is a natural born Citizen of the US and not a native born Citizen of the US. And remember, John McCain was born in Panama of US citizen parents.

This is from the document referenced in a comment below:

But what does the term “natural born citizen” mean? When one does the research we find the treatise “Law of Nations” written by Monsieur De Vattel and published in 1758 is the source and legal definition of the term. This is the document that was known to those who wrote the Constitution of the United States of America. In Book 1, Chapter 19, Paragraph number 212 it states in French

Les Naturels, ou Indigènes font ceux qui font nés dans le pays, de Paren Citoyens.

In the 1760 English translation of this work this sentence is translated as

Its natives are those who are born in the country parents who are citizens.

The later translations, 1773 and since, translate this sentence as

The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
