A Presidential Birth Certificate Controversy Leads To Clashes, Arrests, One Death

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears that only in less-developed nations do the people care about Presidential birth certificates. As GlobalVoices reports, clashes broke out between police and the opposition in Gabon stemming from questions about the legitimacy of President Ali Bongo Ondimba. The publication of a book disputing the origins of the President (claiming him to be Nigerian) has led opposition parties to challenge the authenticity of the birth certificate of the head of state which has sparked widespread protests. The protests left 1 dead and many injured and arrested. As local media note, "if the government continues to refuse to negotiate, things could go very wrong."

As Global Voices reports,

Clashes broke out between police and the opposition in Gabon on December 20 stemming from questions about the legitimacy of President Ali Bongo.

 

A recent book called “New African Affairs” by French reporter Pierre Péan alleged that President Ali Bongo has Nigerian origins. The book was slammed by the authorities, accusing the reporter of inciting racial hatred in Gabon.

 

...

 

A hundred people were arrested. At least one man died without having now possible to establish in what circumstances. Several photos and videos circulating, showing the wounded in the face, on the roof of a car.

*  *  *

Discontent over the current president's rule has been rising amid continued economic stagnation in oil- and mineral-rich Gabon, where over a third of the population lives in poverty.

 

 

Ali Bongo has presided over the former French colony since the 2009 death of his father, who had held the reins since 1967.

*  *  *

Of course, there is more to it, as the one-family-rule and the huge wealth disparities boil over...

Speaking of ... here is an honest question.  American birthers allege that BarryO's mother left her cozy home in Hawaii to drop her little cub in Kenya, making him the child of an American mother and foreign father born outside the USA.  And that self-evidently makes him ineligible to be president.

That happens to be the exact acknowledged status of Ted Cruz, as I understand, yet Cruz is considered perfectly eligible to be prez.  What, huh?

Call BarryO every name found on the junior high school boys room wall and I understand.  But the birther thing is confoosing.

Digging into Obama's history, one begins to bump into power, primarily the CIA.

He was tapped as a stooge infiltrator by the CIA in the late 70s, and was really doing that, probably in Pakistan, while he was supposedly at Columbia. Maybe infiltrating the family and friends of his Pakistani boyfriend.

Anyways, for those so interested in seeing the working of Zionism, go back through the whole "Birther" thing and see how power has assisted all along the way in covering up whatever he, and they, are hiding.

If it were just some connected ones wanting to have their guy rise through the rungs of power on their behalf, their would not be such a wide ranging and uniform response in the cover up--somebody, or bodies, are coordinating the show from on high, and I would also add, from afar, overseas afar that is.

The banksters need to repay us.

 

The trick is seeing the Amongst amongst us. Put on the sunglasses, and look. Really look. Really see.

"the guy is raping his country and the people are outraged over the potential illegitimacy of his family background?"

While I agree with your sentiment, however, he is not raping the country, he is being directed, controlled while others are permitted to CONTINUE raping the country--especially the Amongst.

Additionally, some are preoccupied with his family and background, but it has been those very same people that have uncovered the evidence about his true nefarious connection to power.

The banksters need to repay us.

It would not matter if Obama was born on the Oval Office desk, delivered by JFK, with a big star overhead. The story out of Hussein Obama's own mouth, that he was born to a foreign father, not a US citizen, means he is not a narural born Citizen. If he was born in Hawaii then he was naturalized by the operation of Congressional statute, and the 14th Amendment. Natural born Citizens need no statute in order to be a US Citizen, since naturally they were born of US Citizens in the US. Rubio, Cruz, McCain, Santorum are also naturalized at birth by Congressional ststute. Natural born Citizens attain their rights through A2S1C5. Naturalized citizens gain their rights through the 14th Amendment (See Schneider v. Rusk). SCOTUS gas defined natural born Citizen with precedent:

"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners" Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 167 (1874)

 

http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/minor-v-happersett-is...

 

The framers usage of the term natural born Citizen was explained by Federalist 68 (March 1788, by Alexander Hamilton):

http://thomas.loc.gov/home/histdox/fed_68.html

"Nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal, intrigue, and corruption. These most deadly adversaries of republican government might naturally have been expected to make their approaches from more than one quarter, but chiefly from the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils. How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union?"

It is all right there. It was designed to prevent "the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils". The usage of the term "ascendant" is key. Samuel Johnson's dictionary, the pre-eminent dictionary of the day, defined "ascendant" as both "Influence" and "ancestor". So the purpose was to prevent improper influence brought by an improper foreign ancestor.
http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/samuel-...

Obots will claim, in their usual relativist manner, that the term is used elsewhere at the time to only mean "influence", not "ancestor". Of course that is a straw man, since the term can be used in a number of ways, The remedy stated in Federalist 68 tells us that the term meant both "ancestor" and "influence", since the prevention of foreign influence would be attained by "raising a creature of their own to the chief magistrate of the Union".
"Raising a creature of their own", certainly applies to parentage and ancestry. It certainly cannot mean raising the child of a foreigner, if the purpose of the requirement was the prevention of foreign influence. It is simple as that. If the purpose of the term is prevention of foreign influence, then it is impossible to think that the child of a foreigner could be eligible, since a child is influenced from birth by his parents--- "the country of the father is the country of the son."

It's not that he isn't homegrown, it's that he is from Nigeria.  Liberian buddy of mine says they are devils spawn and to be avoided, and that is by African standards.

 

Tell a Mexican he is Guatemalan and see the offended response.  Got a feeling Nigeria carries the same stigma.
