The Associated Press is one of the most respected, venerated and trusted news sources in syndication and this story was reported worldwide in 2004. To further this story, Obama himself, during the Obama/Keyes debates, Keyes chided Obama for not being a “natural born citizen” in which Obama quickly replied “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency", self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office. Seeing that an AP reporter is too professional to submit a story which was not based on confirmed sources (ostensibly the Obama campaign in this case), the inference seems inescapable: Obama himself was putting out in 2004, that he was born in Kenya.
So, does this indicate that the AP is the source of the “birther movement”?
To further this story, “The Honolulu Advertiser” in 2006 also ran its own story of Obama being Kenyan born. On January 8, 2006 you can see the “correction” to their original story that reported he was born in Hawaii (It is in the opening paragraph to an unrelated store and labeled “Correction”)”:

Orly Taitz files another motion in Judge Carters court seeking discovery on the sources of the AP story:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
Captain Pamela Barnett, et al., §
Plaintiffs, §
§ v. § Civil Action:
§Barack Hussein Obama, § SACV09-00082-DOC-AN
Michelle L.R. Obama, §
Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State, §
Robert M. Gates, Secretary of Defense, §
Joseph R. Biden, Vice-President and § REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL
President of the Senate, § NOTICE OF AP NEWSWIRE
Defendants. § & TO AUTHENTICATE
Request for Judicial Notice of 2004 AP Newswire
And Motion to Authorize Limited Discovery to Authenticate Newstrail
Re: Scheme to Defraud
Come now the Plaintiffs with this Request for Judicial Notice of 2004 AP Newswire, embodied and included in the Kenyan publication attached as Exhibit A. Although the contents of this document are self explanatory, this document is classic hearsay: an unsworn out of court statement to be submitted for the truth of the matters stated therein. Moreover, it is unauthenticated, but is allegedly derived from a well-known and highly respected news wire service, namely the Associated Press. If it were possible to authenticate the source for this information, and/or to trace, locate, and depose the authors and informants, and also to track the subsequent changes in the “story” as told over the newswires over the following four years, the Plaintiffs submit that they would obtain additional and important, and very solid, grounds for outlining the contours of a Complaint for Civil Racketeering (18 U.S.C. §1964©) concerning the 2008 Presidential elections, involving a massive scheme to defraud using the postal (document delivery) and electronic wire services for the purpose of depriving the American People of their intangible right to honest services.
In this Court’s order of September 16, 2009 (Document 66), the Court denied any discovery pending a resolution of the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. On October 7, 2009, the Plaintiffs sought ex-parte relief from discovery (Document 82), which the Court denied summarily on October 8 (Document 83). However, in Document 66 the Court specifically qualified its denial of leave to initiate discovery:
All discovery herein shall be stayed pending resolution of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, except for any discovery as to which Plaintiffs can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of Magistrate Judge Nakazato, is necessary for the purpose of opposing the Motion to Dismiss.
The Court having yet to rule on the Defendant’s (Document 56) Motion to Dismiss, and having expressed significant questions concerning the arguments of all parties concerning the Plaintiffs’ standing under their First Amended Complaint, the Plaintiffs wish to complete the preparation of their Second Amended Complaint in which they will allege that the denial of the intangible right to honest services gives all Plaintiffs, indeed all citizens of the United States, whether natural-born or otherwise, unquestionable standing: namely, the right to sue under Civil R.I.C.O., without any showing of individualized, special, or unique injuries. The denial of the intangible right to honest services, such as the fraudulent theft of election by mail and wire fraud, has millions of victims, but in the basic sense of denial of the intangible right to honest services, none were “more” deprived of “the blessings of liberty” and the right to be governed honestly under the Constitution than any others.
Plaintiffs submit that they need to conduct limited discovery for the purpose of preparing this Second Amended Complaint (to flesh out more fully the extent of the fraud and accordingly solidify with evidence allegations necessary to establish Civil R.I.C.O. standing). They accordingly ask the Court, in addition to taking judicial notice of the A.P. Wire bulletin attached as Exhibit A, to allow the following discovery to take place, addressed to a non-party, non-governmental source:
A deposition duces tecum on 15 days notice (rather than 30) of the custodian of records and archives at “the world’s oldest and largest newsgathering organization:
”The Associated Press"
Headquarters: 450 W. 33rd Street, New York, NY 10001.
There can be no doubt that the information to be retrieved is relevant to framing the Plaintiffs’ proposed Second Amended Complaint. There can be no objection that this deposition will impose too great a burden on the Defendants because it is not addressed to them. There can be no objection that the examination of the history of reporting concerning the history of reportage concerning the national origins, birthplace, citizenship, and life history of the President of the United States world’s oldest and largest newsgathering organization will impose any undue burdens on the Defendants, or on the Associated Press as a deponent.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request first that this Honorable Court take Judicial Notice of the AP Newswire, and use this information to draw all such reasonable inferences as can and should reasonably be drawn from this. If the proposed deposition is allowed, it will be possible to produce original copies of the wire from 2004 and/or identify the sources for this document, which is today widely available on the internet, but has yet to be officially authenticated. The relevance to this case is weighty, the benefits far exceed the costs, and the Defendants can hardly complain that it will in any sense be unfair to them.
The foreshortened period of 15 days is reasonably requested in light of the deadlines for submitting dispositive motions in the present case according to the Court’s reaffirmed scheduling order.
CONFERENCE OMITTED: in light of the Defendants’ response to Plaintiffs’ last request to allow limited discovery in this case, the court will recall the splendidly laconic if highly bellicose “NUTS” offered up as an appetizer by U.S. Attorney Roger West on October 7, 2009, there seemed no point to bother conferring with opposing counsel in this case again.
Respectfully submitted,
Sunday, October 25, 2009

It wasn't the AP. It was the Kenyan newspaper. The AP story did not have any reference to Kenya. The Kenya newspaper inserted the words, and it was the only newspaper to do so.
ReplyDeleteWhy believe a Kenyan newspaper (which, if it were serious about reporting that Obama was born there would cite something such as a document or a source) and not believe the Wall Street Journal, which concluded:
"Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn." (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204619004574320190095246658.html)
In other words, the Kenyan newspaper made a mistake. Big deal. If it had been serious about reporting its news that it had found out that Obama was born in Kenya, it would have said "we know that he was born in Kenya because we found X document or Y source said it." But it wasn't doing reporting, it was just saying that it knew that there was a Kenya relationship with Obama, and it didn't have tough editors or fact-checkers.
The National Review had this to say about the Kenya story: "The theory that Obama was born in Kenya, that he was smuggled into the U.S., and that his parents somehow hoodwinked Hawaiian authorities into falsely certifying his birth in Oahu, is crazy stuff."
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZmJhMzlmZWFhOTQ3YjUxMDE2YWY4ZDMzZjZlYTVmZmU=&w=MA
The source for the Kenyan news was the AP original story (which is where news organizations go to get their information to write independent stories). There is no evidence that the Kenyan story is wrong? There is much prima facia evidence that Obama was born in Kenya -- i.e., Kenyan BC with sworn affidavit that it is authentic; Obama family members stating their presence at his birth in Kenya, etc. Until the Usurper unseals his records we can go round and round about this subject. You do have to ask yourself one question irregardless of the argument whether or not he is native or foreign born (which is the argument bantered consistently by those who are called "birthers" and those who drink Obama Koolaid -- "If Obama is NOT a US Citizen as some claim then is it acceptable for him to sit in the WH"?
ReplyDeleteRe; “The source for the Kenyan news was the AP original story (which is where news organizations go to get their information to write independent stories).”
ReplyDeleteNO. The Associate Press did not say in that story, or in any story, that Obama was born in Kenya. The Kenyan newspaper inserted “Kenya-born” into the story. The same article was run in several hundred other newspapers without the words “Kenya-born”
Re: “There is much prima facia evidence that Obama was born in Kenya -- i.e., Kenyan BC with sworn affidavit that it is authentic; Obama family members stating their presence at his birth in Kenya, etc.”
The “Kenya BC with affidavit is a forgery, and the man who claims to have gotten it in Kenya is a convicted felon. (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108005). Note the lines: “Smith, whose background includes a lengthy criminal record…”
Re: “Until the Usurper unseals his records we can go round and round about this subject.”
The birth certificate files in Hawaii are not sealed, they are private. Obama has shown the copy of the birth certificate that he was sent by Hawaii. It is the official birth certificate of Hawaii, and it is the only one that Hawaii sends out. (http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html).
The Wall Street Journal commented: ““Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn.’
Re: “Obama family members stating their presence at his birth in Kenya, etc.”
Not one of them did. In particular, Obama’s Kenyan grandmother did not say that he was born in Kenya. She said that he was born in Hawaii.
This can be clearly heard if you listen to the complete recording of the tape, which is on Berg’s site. The complete recording includes a question asking “Whereabouts was he born?” And her answer was: “America, Hawaii.”
Here is the complete recording on Berg’s site. Be sure to listen for at least five minutes until the question is asked. (http://obamacrimes.com/Telephone_Interview_with_Sarah_Hussein_Obama_10-16-08.mp3)
If it is too difficult to listen to the complete tape, here is a transcript (http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/obamatranscriptlulu109.pdf).
IF Obama had been born in Kenya, he would have needed a US travel document to get to the USA, such as a US visa on a British passport or a change to his mother's passport to include him, and that would have had to have been issued in Kenya. Either of those documents would still be on file at the US State Department, if they existed, and they would have been found, if they existed. But no such document has turned up.
Obama is a citizen because he was born in Hawaii, as the official birth certificate proves, and the facts on it were confirmed by two officials in Hawaii, and there is even a witness who recalls being told of the birth at the time (http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html)
We can hash and rehash all of the points and counterpoints to Obama's BC until we turn blue in the face. AP ran a story, the Kenyan story picked it up and ran with it further with their version of his birth.
ReplyDeleteFor every site you source, I can find one also when it comes to the COLB Obama produced for the cameras and will also say, as Obama supporters do with the Kenyan forgery claims, that it is also a forgery.
The felon you mention, to discredit his veracity, has come forward in a court of law with his copy of the Kenyan BC that he obtained showing Obama's birth in Kenya and backed it with a signed affidavit under the penalty of perjury. This gives it extra legal weight because of it regardless of his past criminal record.
The Berg tape that you show as being debunked itself was also debunked and analyzed to show that the Grandmother was being coached to say what she did after she admitted being present on his birth.
Bottom line here is this will all come out in the end if Taitz succeeds. Even if she does not succeed here Obama will be exposed becaus of his unravelling popularity and his exposure to the ongoing Rezko, Blagojevich investigation or the Louisianna ACORN investigation. He has too many connections to nefarious criminals and their enterprises. He cannot stop or control all the information all the time.
Re: "AP ran a story, the Kenyan story picked it up and ran with it further with their version of his birth."
ReplyDeleteThe AP ran a story saying that Obama was ready for the US Senate. It did not, and never has, said that Obama was born in Kenya. The Kenya newspaper inserted the words "Kenya-born" into the story.
The Associated Press has issued a statement regarding the claim by Orly Taitz that an article it produced in 2004 said that Barack Obama was born in Kenya:
ReplyDelete“The AP has never reported that President Obama was born in Kenya. In fact, AP news stories about the state of Hawaii have confirmed that he was born there. The Kenyan paper that you cite rewrote a 2004 AP story, adding the phrase ‘Kenyan-born.’ That wording was not in the AP version of the story.

http://ohforgoodnesssake.com/?p=4213
http://aconstantineblacklist.blogspot.com/2009/10/obama-birthplace-lawyer-submits-suspect.html
We have already stipulated between us that the AP story did not contain the wording "Kenya Born" in their origal story that the Kenyan paper added to it. You are beating a dead horse or better yet "the more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets"!
ReplyDeleteActually, I did not know that you had stipulated that the AP did not write the words "kenya-born." Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteYou originally wrote: "The Associated Press is one of the most respected, venerated and trusted news sources in syndication..."
Let me point out therefore that the AP said in the statement I just quoted: "In fact, AP news stories about the state of Hawaii have confirmed that he was born there. "
