Obama racks up another citizenship?

by Dr. Conspiracy on 18. Aug, 2010 in Birth Location, Citizenship, Inspector Smith, Lounge, Videos

Luke (fake Kenyan birth certificate) Smith claims yet another entry in the list of citizenships for Barack Obama. In addition the three citizenships Obama actually had at one time or another in his life, and the Indonesian citizenship that he never had (so the State Department says), Smith now says Obama is a subject of the Sultan of Zanzibar!

Zanzibar, how exotic!

I’ve always found the name Zanzibar terribly fascinating; it rhythmically rolls off the tongue with those lovely “z” sounds and you can hold out that final “a” as long as you will. Zanzibaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

The whole “citizen of Zanzibar” claim, of course, rests on Barack Obama  being born in Mombasa, something which flies in the face of all credible evidence and is supported only by frauds like Smith and their fake birth certificates. Still, no matter how ridiculous, it is an Obama conspiracy theory, and is hereby acknowledged as such by the Obama conspiracy blog of record (not to gainsay the other fine Obama conspiracy blogs of record).

Smith says:

Yes, President Barack Obama was born at Coast Province General Hospital in 1961 in Mombasa, British Protectorate of Kenya.

The 1957-1958 Zanzibar colonial report states that those individuals born in either of the Zanzibar Protectorate and Protectorate of Kenya are, by law, subjects of His Highness the Sultan of Zanzibar and that those same individuals have the RIGHT TO CLAIM Zanzibar nationality.

Last time I checked (and I don’t think this has changed) Honolulu is not in Africa.

White House releases Obama passport

by Dr. Conspiracy on 15. Aug, 2010 in Birth Location

One more in the steady drip of information from the the US Government challenging Obama conspiracy theorists appeared on YouTube this past Friday. The White House has a  YouTube Channel that includes a series called “West Wing Week” in which White House staffers show behind the scenes video footage and commentary (as of today there are 1273 videos on the channel). A new video includes a segment where a staffer opens the safe, pulls out the President’s US Passport, and flips through the pages.

Still shot from White House video (click to view)

According to the video, the President obtained a new US Passport when he became president. One will note that the document clearly shows Obama born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. In what may come as a surprise to a few readers here, the passport also indicates that Barack Obama is President of the United States!

I think the small area blurred in the image covers the issue and expiration dates. (There always has to be something hidden for the benefit of the conspiracy theorists.)

Government investigation into Barack Obama’s citizenship (Updated)

by Dr. Conspiracy on 01. Aug, 2010 in Birth Location, Citizenship, Evidence, FOIA, Featured Articles

Shocking documents obtained under Freedom of Information Act disclose that questions were raised about Barack Obama’s citizenship status, and that an official government investigation was carried out. Here is the text of the FOIA document (see page 38):

Memo to file
A 14 128 294
Sept. 14, 1967

Pursuant to inquiry from Central office regarding the status of the applicants’ [Lolo Soetoro] spouses’ child by a former marriage.

The person in question is a united states citizen by virtue of his birth in Honolulu, Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961. He is living with the applicants’ spouse in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is considered the applicants step-child, within the meaning of Sec. 101(b)(1)(B), of the act, by virtue of the marriage of the applicant to the childs’ mother on March 15, 1965.

W. L. Mix

This also confirms the date of the Soetoro marriage.

Update:

The cover letter with Allen’s FOIA response indicates that there were some responsive documents that could not be released. One of the documents that was released was a copy of Stanley Ann Dunham’s birth certificate. There is little question in my mind that one of the documents that was found but not released is Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

More tours to Obama birthplace

by Dr. Conspiracy on 24. Jul, 2010 in Birth Location

Obama Conspiracy Theories broke the story of a Kenyan tour guide company offering an Obama tour, including the “original home of the world’s most powerful President,” the village of Kogelo in Kenya. The Kenyan tour company’s web page also mentioned that President Obama was born in Hawaii at the Kapi’olani medical center. [This is the only Kenyan web site I know of that names the hospital where President Obama was born.]

Obama tourism isn’t limited to Kenya

Several companies are offering Obama tours as reported by WhyGo Hawaii. And yes, the tours include: the “Kapiolani Medical Center (place of Obama’s birth).”

However, in a place that is already a major tourist destination like Oahu, there has been a veritable onslaught of Obama based tourism.

There are now several different operators offering up tours of Obama’s Hawaii—from the places he most recently stayed during his 11-day vacation to the islands in January to the ice cream shop he worked in as a teenager….

Michelle Obama was quoted saying, “You can’t really understand Barack until you understand Hawaii” and for those looking to better understand Hawaii and the President can check out these various Obama tours in Hawaii.

Kenyan web site names Obama birth hospital

by Dr. Conspiracy on 01. Jul, 2010 in Birth Location, Featured Articles

I didn’t find this on any newspaper web site, but on the web site of a tour guide company! I challenged Mario Apuzzo to find a Kenyan newspaper naming the “well known attraction,” the hospital where President Obama was born. I didn’t think there were any newspapers that disclosed this information, but Trendy Tours & Safaris of Nairobi has introduced a 7-day Obama Kenyan tour including “the original home of the worlds most powerful President”, the well-known attraction described by the Kenyan Ambassador to the US, Peter Ogego, in the now famous WRIF radio interview.

And they name the hospital where President Obama was born!

Unlike any other web site in Kenya, this one breaks the code of silence and defies top secret government gag orders to name the hospital where President Barack Obama was born, and it was not the Coast General Hospital in Mombasa. (more…)

Kenyan newspapers discuss Obama birth in Mombasa

by Dr. Conspiracy on 01. Jul, 2010 in Birth Location, Media

The “birthers” have really done a poor job mining Kenyan newspapers for references to President Obama being born in Mombasa. Maybe they should switch from Google to Bing for their search engine. I don’t know, but when I went digging, I found lots of material, for example:

The Daily Nation: Anti-Obama lunatics living in denial

They are living in denial. In America they are equated to lunatics, but their push to drop anything credible to force President Obama out of office includes forgery in the land of Obama’s father.

The group — the birthers — are the fringe “lunatics” who insist Obama is not a natural-born citizen — a US constitutional requirement for the presidency.

… the birth certificate purporting Mr Obama was born in Kenya differs with genuine certificates issued in the early 1960s, the Nation can reveal.

Certificates issued during the colonial period were marked “Colony and Protectorate of Kenya”. Today’s have the logo of the Government of Kenya, with a seal.

The Daily Nation: Obama enemies’ bid to stain the audacity of hope

Fringe foes of Barack Obama are again turning to Kenya in what appears to be increasingly desperate attempts to discredit the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.

The latest lines of attacks include a lawsuit charging that Senator Obama was born in Kenya and is thus disqualified from seeking the presidency on the grounds that he is not a US citizen. (more…)

80% of Americans do not believe official Bush birthplace

by Dr. Conspiracy on 30. Jun, 2010 in Birth Location, Lounge, Polls

A recent nationwide CBS/Vanity Fair poll showed only 39% of Americans responding that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii (although 63% place his birth somewhere in the United States).

I wanted to put these results in perspective with my own Obama Conspiracy Theories poll. This poll was made of 10 people randomly selected from my workplace on June 30, 2010. I think all the respondents were college graduates.

Asked the open ended question: “in which state was President George W. Bush born,” only 20% believed the official story that he was born in Connecticut! A full 50% picked Texas. New York and New Hampshire were other states mentioned.

It looks like to me we’ve been asking for the wrong birth certificate.
