Berg v. Obama – Unsealed – Dismissed
I wrote last November about the sealed lawsuit brought against Barack Obama by Pennsylvania lawyer, Philip J. Berg. Phil Berg notified Obama Conspiracy Theories this afternoon that, the case has been unsealed and dismissed with prejudice. Berg wrote:
Since the case was ‘Dismissed with Prejudice’ it is now ‘Unsealed’ and the record is open for review. The case, Berg vs. Obama, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 08-cv-1933 and is available on Pacer or our website, obamacrimes.com. I, Phil Berg, will be Appealing this case !
I’ve had a copy of the complaint since it was misfiled the first time last year, but did not publish it out of respect for the court which eventually sealed it. The case is frivolously novel in it’s approach (claiming Obama collected his Senate salary while being ineligible to be a U. S. Senator), but the content of it is just the same old, same old case Berg filed and lost before (although this one is trimmed down considerably).
It is ironic that Berg brought the case under the False Claims Act while Berg’s claims in the complaint are all false! As we used to say when I was in school: “good riddance to bad rubbish!”
The docket has been updated with a link to the sealed (now unsealed) complaint.
LIBERI et al v. TAITZ et al
In a move long anticipated, Philadelphia lawyer Phil Berg, anti-Obama activist and judicial candidate has filed suit against Orly Taitz on behalf of individuals who have come under attack recently by California lawyer and anti-Obama conspiracy theories promoter Orly Taitz.
Orly Taitz frequently makes published assertions that two people who share the same name are the same person (like Barry Soetoro and Soetoro Moestabjab), and in this case Lisa Liberi, Phil Berg’s, associate may be the victim of just such a false association with a New Mexico felon having a similar name.
Also, former webmaster of Orly Taitz’s blog, Lisa Ostella, the recipient of all sorts of accusations related to the handling of former Orly blogs and the funneling of PayPal donations, is suing. We’ve reported here on the Ostella accusations before.
A complaint was filed and it looks like a request for a temporary restraining order. The full list of plaintiffs are: LISA LIBERI, PHILIP J. BERG, THE LAW OFFICES OF PHILIP J. BERG, EVELYN ADAMS ["MommaE"], LISA M. OSTELLA and GO EXCEL GLOBAL with defendants: ORLY TAITZ, DEFEND OUR FREEDOMS FOUNDATIONS, INC., YOSEF TAITZ, THE SANKEY FIRM, SANKEY INVESTIGATIONS, INC., NEIL SANKEY, JAMES SUNDQUIST, ROCK SALT PUBLISHING, LINDA SUE BELCHER, EDGAR HALE, CAREN HALE, PLAINS RADIO NETWORK, BAR H FARMS, KPRN AM 1610 [Plains Radio].

Hollister v. Soetoro et al Denied
GREGORY S. HOLLISTER, Plaintiff vs. BARRY SOETORO, a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama, in his capacity as : a natural person; in his capacity as [blah blah blah] JOSEPH R. BIDEN, JR., in his capacity [blah blah blah]
The “interpleader” part of the suit has been dismissed by United States District Judge James Robertson. Judge Robertson’s reason? The case was “frivolous”. (more…)
Hollister v. Soetoro et al.

Snowball's chance in hell
Gregory Hollister (and lawyer Philip J. Berg) is suing President Obama and Vice-President Biden to force them to settle their dispute over which one of them is really president. The action is called an “interpleader” suit, typically used by insurance companies to force the issue of who they should pay a policy to by bringing a suit against the claimants so that the court decides the issue.

Open Questions
Following are open questions that I have about the evidence for things I read on the Internet. If you have an answer, leave it in a comment. Comments with valid sources for their information will be will be included here in the main article.
What evidence is there for a travel ban existing in 1981, preventing US citizens from visiting Pakistan?
Thanks to comments below, we know that there was no travel ban to Pakistan in 1981.According to a report, Philip Berg’s assistant Linda Starr said that Berg had served subpoenas to Hawaiian hospitals to get Obama birth information. What court issued these subpoenas and in what case? Where can documentation be obtained?Berg himself issued the subpoenas, not the court. They are documented as attachments to Berg v. Obama et al. Thanks to an email response from a reader.- It has been reported that President Obama’s paternal step grandmother discussed the President’s birth in Kenya with friends and neighbors. What is the source of this report?
- Was the mother of Vice President Charles Curtis a US citizen?
- When, if ever, did Barack Obama say in which Hawaiian hospital he was born?
- Was it necessary for an American to have a passport when visiting Kenya in 1961?
- Was Philip J. Berg ever a member of the NAACP? Philip Berg made this claim in an interview published on America’s Right.
Barack Obama was Born in Canada
At least that’s true according to this birth certificate!

Obama Canadian Birth Certificate
Such allegations are worthless. That is nothing more than a “short form”!
Philip J. Berg references this Canadian Birth Certificate in his initial filing for Berg v. Obama et al. in point 22 on page 6 (same page as the infamous Italian Wikipedia reference).
Somehow that registration number looks familiar… (more…)
