Interesting. Consider source however.

A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.

His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders.

“We won! We won before we even arrived,” she said with excitement. “It means that the military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate – and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the order!”

She continued, “They just said, ‘Order revoked.’ No explanation. No reasons – just revoked.”

A hearing on the questions raised by Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, an engineer who told WND he wants to serve his country in Afghanistan, was scheduled for July 16 at 9:30 a.m.

Join the petition campaign to make President Obama reveal his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate!

“As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a ‘natural-born citizen,’ he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief,” he told WND only hours after the case was filed.

“[Then] any order coming out of the presidency or his chain of command is illegal. Should I deploy, I would essentially be following an illegal [order]. If I happened to be captured by the enemy in a foreign land, I would not be privy to the Geneva Convention protections,” he said.

The order for the hearing in the federal court for the Middle District of Georgia from U.S. District Judge Clay D. Land said the hearing on the request for a temporary restraining order would be held Thursday.

Cook said without a legitimate president as commander-in-chief, members of the U.S. military in overseas actions could be determined to be “war criminals and subject to prosecution.”

He said the vast array of information about Obama that is not available to the public confirms to him “something is amiss.”

“That and the fact the individual who is occupying the White House has not been entirely truthful with anybody,” he said. "Every time anyone has made an inquiry, it has been either cast aside, it has been maligned, it has been laughed at or just dismissed summarily without further investigation.

“You know what. It would be so simple to solve. Just produce the long-form document, certificate of live birth,” he said.

Cook said he was scheduled to report for duty tomorrow, on July 15, to deploy to Afghanistan as part of President Obama’s plan to increase pressure of insurgent forces there.

He told WND he would be prepared for a backlash against him as a military officer, since members of the military swear to uphold and follow their orders. However, he noted that following an illegal order would be just as bad as failing to follow a legal order.

Before news of the orders being revoked were reported, MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann tonight called Cook a “jackass” and Taitz a “conwoman,” as he labeled both of them the “worst persons in the world.” He flayed the soldier as “an embarrassment to all those who have served without cowardice.”

Named as defendants in the case are Col. Wanda Good, Col. Thomas Macdonald, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Obama, described as “de facto president of the United States.”

According to the court filing, Cook affirmed when he joined the military, he took the following oath: “I, Stefan Frederick Cook, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

According to the claim, “Plaintiff submits that it is implicit though not expressly stated that an officer is and should be subject to court-martial, because he will be derelict in the performance of his duties, if he does not inquire as to the lawfulness, the legality, the legitimacy of the orders which he has received, whether those orders are specific or general.”

The military courts offer no option for raising the question, so he turned to civilian courts to consider “a question of paramount constitutional and legal importance: the validity of the chain of command under a president whose election, eligibility, and constitutional status appear open to serious question.”

“Barack Hussein Obama, in order to prove his constitutional eligibility to serve as president, basically needs only produce a single unique historical document for the Plaintiff’s inspection and authentication: namely, the ‘long-form’ birth certificate which will confirm whether Barack Hussein Obama was in fact born to parents who were both citizens of the United States in Honolulu, Hawaii, in or about 1961,” explains the complaint.

Taitz said she will attend the hearing to amend the temporary restraining order to an injunction because more members of the military have joined the cause.

“We are going to be asking for release of Obama’s records because now this completely undermines the military. It revoked this order, but it can come up with another order tomorrow. It can come up with orders for other people,” she said. “Am I going to be flying around the country 1,000 times and paying the fees every time they issue an order?”

Taitz said the issue “must be resolved immediately,” and she will continue working to ensure Obama proves he is eligible for office.

“We’re going to be asking the judge to issue an order for Obama to provide his vital records to show he is legitimately president,” she said. “We’re going to say, we have orders every day, and we’ll have revocations every day. This issue has to be decided.”

She said there cannot be any harm to the president if he is legitimately holding office.

“If he is legitimate, then his vital records will prove it,” Taitz said. “If he is illegitimate, then he should not have been there in the first place.”

Asked what this decision means for every other serviceman who objects to deployment under a president who has not proven he is eligible for office, Taitz responded:

“Now, we can have each and every member of the military – each and every enlistee and officer – file something similar saying ‘I will not take orders until Obama is legitimately vetted.’”

Multiple questions have been raised about what that would mean to the 2008 election, to the orders and laws Obama has signed and other issues, including whether he then is a valid commander-in-chief of the military.

The mystery letter

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to confirm the authenticity of the alleged Jan. 24, 2009, letter from President Obama to his purported place of birth, Kapi’olani Medical Center. His remarks begin at the 55:27 mark of the press briefing. (Click photo to view)

Obama has maintained he was born in Hawaii, and at least one hospital, Honolulu’s Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children, claims it received a letter from the president declaring his birth there.

As WND reported, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to confirm that the letter which was used by the hospital to solicit donations is, in fact, a real correspondence.

When WND exposed doubts about the authenticity of the letter because it was created with HTML computer code and had no presidential or White House seal, the hospital which for nearly six months proudly declared Obama was born at its facility commenced an active cover-up, hiding that White House letter from its original webpage and refusing to confirm such a letter actually exists.

WND also reported that just within the last week, at least two reports have cited Obama’s birth in Kenya. Wikipedia also was found to have been reporting on Obama’s birth in Kenya, before a series of scrubs placed his birth in Honolulu.

And that came on the heels of several online information sites changing the president’s supposed birthplace from one hospital in Hawaii to another, after WND broke the news of the letter said to be from the White House.

Barack Obama states in this purported letter from him on what appears to be White House stationery that he was born at the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu. The letter was posted by the medical center for nearly six months on its website and used for fundraising before electronically hidden once WND disclosed it was not an actual paper letter, but merely HTML coding. The hospital and White House now refuse to confirm that a real document even exists.

Hmmmm, sure would settle a lot of things if they would just release his actual birth certificate. . . . . . . .or maybe they can’t.:confused:

Either way I will never trust him.

Did some research to try to see what this yahoo looked like.

Something really strange: if you Google, “Stefan Frederick Cook”, you get ~38 pages of hits, but not a single picture/photo of the guy.

Anyone ever see a photo of him?

[spock] Fascinating. [/spock]

Something tells me Maj. Cook is not going to enjoy the remainder of his military career.

As I have said elsewhere on this topic (same topic different board) time in Leavenworth will be cut short by an unfortunate run in with a shiv.

No doubt. I bet he will ever see the rank of LTC, next to his name. He may have “won” this little victory by getting his orders changed, but this clearly shows his inability to lead by example and to follow a lawful order. The rest of his stay will be a career minefield. He’s done.

Are you stating that all soldiers should blindly follow orders?

I have always held that our military will obey whatever order(s) they are given, regardless of their constitutionality or lawful category. Your statement seems to imply that they indeed should.

Frankly, I don’t have a bloody clue what this officer’s motivations are at this time. I do, however, applaud him if he truely believes that BHO holds his office illegitimately.

You didn’t read the article, did you? Otherwise you would have been plainly aware that the officer’s contention is that the order was indeed unlawful.

But, for the vast majority of our military, it isn’t if the order is lawful, it’s just obey the order, as you’ve so eloquently indicated. Wait until they’re given the order to confiscate your weapons. Still think they’re gonna be “leaders”?

You need to check your condescending attitude. Just because I didn’t interpret it the way you did, does not imply I did not read that article.

You simply don’t have a strong grasp on the ramifications of disobeying an issued, lawful order. Do you really think that our military is so incompetent as to issue illegal movement orders to deploy to a combat zone for an entire unit, to include the Major? This is not a court precedent in anyway shape or form. The orders were merely resended. Although rare for deployment, it does happen. Those orders were not handed down by the local chain of command. He, along with the unit he was scheduled to deploy with, were issued those orders to destroy the enemies of this country. If he felt his deployment or movement orders were illegal, then his duty was to report the unlawful order up the chain of command and NOT to a civilian court. I think he merely used this case as an excuse to get out of deployment to a combat zone due to being a chicken shit. If he or anyone, volunteered for military service, then I, as an American citizen, expect those in uniform, to perform their duty, especially an officer.

He was merely given a pass for now, as to not open up a can of worms by elevating his case to a higher court, and casting further doubt, bringing unwanted attention and publicity, as to the authenticity of the country of birth of the current POTUS. Whether in the not too distant future or later in his career, I can assure you, he will be delt with.

Last time I checked, we are still at war, regardless to who the POTUS is. The real question is, would he had still refused, had it been a republican in the office? That question, although rhetorical, is irrelevant. The answer is, we are still at war and he still failed to lead by example.

But, for the vast majority of our military, it isn’t if the order is lawful, it’s just obey the order, as you’ve so eloquently indicated. Wait until they’re given the order to confiscate your weapons. Still think they’re gonna be “leaders”?

:rolleyes:

Interesting… I think his military career will be short lived.

This story is up on the Drudge Report but links to WND. Interesting to see if this actually goes anywhere. I don’t really look for the mainstream media to dig into this with much gusto. :rolleyes:

Agreed. Put a fork in him, he’s done.

good points. While I may not be a fan of Obama & am interested to see how this plays out for the most part I agree that a soldiers duty is to folow his orders. I look forward to a good discusion.

I wonder is this will get as much coverage as President Bush’s National Guard service did, fake documents and all.

I doubt we’ll so much id any of this on the major media.

I don’t know if there is any validity to the case or not… But it is interesting.

I am not sure I follow the argument in the article…is the contention that Obama was not born in Hawaii or that because Hawaii was not yet a state that he is not a US citizen?

Interesting to consider the ramifications of that. Should Biden be the lawful President?

I read that McCain was born in Panama (the canal zone) which is not a state either. Does that then disqualify him too, had he won?

Strange days.

Heard a good one today. It seems that some states do not require a candidate to produce a birth certificate to run for elected office…and you might never guess that Illinois is one of them…the man is a fraud…a puppet for the socialists that are tearing this country apart from the inside.

The 32 left wing Czars are running the show and all of them are radical socialist with absolutely no oversight whatsoever, and answering only to the messiah. One even came from a group that had the word ‘socialist’ in the name of the group :eek:…if that doesn’t send shivers down your spine…it should. :rolleyes:

Oh SNAP, well that just f@cks this argument all up!!!

I also heard that one of Obama’s cabinet worked for Cobra Commander at some point in his/her past too. But it’s all good because Cheney is a Decepticon that transforms into a shot gun after too many snifters of scotch.

All is fair in American politics, considering both sides are ultimately the same.

John McCain was born in Panama on a military installation and both parents were U.S citizens. The allegations about President Obama have to do with the fact that his mother was apparently not old enough under some part of the law and then the fact that he was born in Kenya and paperwork was filed only after they arrived in Hawaii, blah, blah, blah. The whole thing gives me a headache to be honest.
