President Obama plays “Muslim card” as Republican Andy Martin’s Washington conference nears

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will convene his Fourth National Conference on Barack Obama's Missing Family History and Academic Records in Washington, DC on March 30-31. Andy created the anti-Obama movement in 2004; the media later concocted the catchall term “Birther” to identify Obama’s opponents. Andy has since disassociated himself from the extreme elements of the Birther movement. Andy will also be continuing his scholarly research in Hawai’i in May. The conference registration form is part of this email.

Dear Reader,

It was just a month ago that we announced our Fourth Annual Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Family History and Academic Records. Since them, the issues we plan to discuss have been swirling in the media.

First, a question: who keeps the “Obama is a Muslim” controversy alive? We know who did the initial international research and documented Obama’s religious heritage. I did. The media calls Obama’s Muslim heritage a “rumor.” It’s not a rumor. It's an objective and theological fact. (Obama has since changed his religion, but his attachment to Christianity is tenuous and, many suspect, merely a political convenience.)

But who keeps the “Muslim” discussion alive? Surprise, it's Obama himself and the liberal polling firm Public Policy Polling (“PPP”) who keep stoking the Muslim embers. Obama told a Washington writer that Fox News kept the Obama-is-a-Muslim claim alive (link [1]). The truth: most "Birthers” despise Fox News for refusing to cover either the Muslim or birth certificate brouhahas. So Obama was flat-out lying when he accused Fox News of falsely reporting his religion.

Why would Obama lie? Because he is agitating his base. And he’s shaking his money tree. Obama’s extreme base loves to hate Fox News, so Obama can comfortably tell a big lie about Fox and the lie will be taken as truth by Obama’s base. On the Muslim issue (and birth certificate as well) Fox News is “clean.” Obama lies.

Obama also likes to stir up his political opposition by dropping “Muslim” allusions from time to time. He then uses his opposition’s agitation to—no surprise—agitate his own base.

Likewise, PPP keeps asking voters about Obama's religion and family origins. PPP then “reports” on its own inquiries. But PPP never polls Democrats on what they believe about Obama’s religion or family history. Why not? Because the truth would be scary for Democrats.

In the last month the Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff has labeled Obama's birth certificate a likely forgery (link [2]). Birthers (no link to Andy) have sued Obama in California (link [3]). My friend Jerry Corsi is launching a new book (link [4]) and the issue of Obama’s heritage keeps growing (link [5]).

So as that “Good ole boy” and “Son of the South” Mitt Romney might say, “Y’all come to Washington for the conference on March 30-31.” I can’t predict what the turnout will be but whoever shows will have an interesting time. We’ll also have new disclosures about our Obama research trip to Honolulu in May as well as other Obama research initiatives. Full details and a registration form to cut-and-paste for the conference follow below.

Cordially,

ANDY MARTIN

Republican candidate for

President of the United States

Republican presidential candidate Andy Martin plans new conference on Obama

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will convene his Fourth National Conference on Barack Obama's Missing Family History and Academic Records in Washington, DC on March 30-31. Andy created the anti-Obama movement in 2004; the media later adopted the term “Birther” to identify Obama’s opponents. Andy has since disassociated himself from all of the extreme elements of the Birther movement. Andy will also be continuing his scholarly research in Hawai’i this summer. Andy has produced the only visual history of Obama’s origins (go to www.BoycottHawaii.com for the film in segments).

February 25, 2012

Dear Reader,

For the past there years I have sponsored a national conference on Barack Obama’s family history, focusing on his missing birth certificate as well as his absent academic records. After last year’s conference President Obama produced what he said was a copy of his original birth certificate. Progress comes in small steps.

I am very excited to announce the Fourth National Conference on Barack Obama’s Family History and Missing Academic Records. We will be convening March 30-31 in Washington, DC. As in prior years we will require a nominal registration fee and photo identification so that we can make appropriate space planning efforts. All are welcome.

The national conferences have been followed by research trips to Hawai’i, and we are again planning for the 2012 research trip to Honolulu.

My prior activity has generated intense opposition from Obama’s supporters because my research is conducted on a scholarly basis, without any of the personal attacks and abuses which have been attributed to some of Obama’s other adversaries. Ironically, Obama benefits from the more unhinged elements of the “Birther” community because Obama uses their extreme accusations to energize his own left-wing “base.”

Since 2011 I have also been campaigning as an independent Republican for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. I’m not expected to win but I do intend to see that Republicans keep an eye on issues involving Obama’s origins. There is no shame in trying to win, even against long odds. Just ask Jeremy Lin.

If you go back and reread what I wrote in my bestselling book (Chapter One), and my Internet columns, many of which you can still find on the web, you will see that in 2007 I clearly predicted the failure of Obama’s presidency due to his lack of leadership potential.

The British scholar Isaiah Berlin popularized the poetry of the “hedgehog and the fox.” (“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing”). Obama is a political hedgehog who knows one big thing: how to campaign for office and for his own self-aggrandizement. He does it surpassingly well at those activities. And my Republican competitors still don’t have a clue how to campaign against him.

In my professional opinion Obama cannot succeed as a president because of his personality structure. His mind is hard-wired for obedience and subservience, not command authority. I don’t dislike Obama. He seems a nice enough man. But he is no president and no commander-in-chief; I predicted as much in 2007.

To the argument that Obama “killed” Bin Laden and Al-Awaki, I respond that he was under extreme pressure from the intelligence community to do so. He knuckled under to the spooks when he authorized the termination of those terrorists. Nothing more.

Having studied Obama closely since his days in the Illinois legislature I am probably the only Republican presidential candidate who actually understands Obama’s political DNA and also understands how to defeat him in November.

Unlike Donald Trump, who blatantly lied about sending “investigators to Hawai’i,” and claimed his people were discovering information “you wouldn’t believe what they found,” I do not lie to you or the public, or insult your intelligence.

We can certainly have a civil discussion in Washington about the impact of the birth document Obama handed out in May, 2011. If Obama released a copy of his original paperwork why won’t Hawai’i now provide public access to the original? There has been a total waiver of confidentiality. Maybe a new lawsuit is in order. If Hawai’i continues to prevent access to the original, reasonable people can be suspicious about why that original certificate is being kept from public view. It is a basic principle of scholarly research to examine originals, not copies of historical records. Why won’t Obama formally allow me and other scholars to view the hard-copy original? His continuing secrecy and silence on disclosure may be why tens of millions of Americans continue to have doubts about Obama's origins.

There is a “snake” email that has been circulating for years and claims that Obama’s academic records are going to the Supreme Court for review. I get copies of it periodically. The email is false. Another huckster made a fortune filing bogus claims with the U. S. Supreme Court and asking people to contribute to his scam. There are more anti-Obama hucksters out there. I do not hesitate to expose anti-Obama frauds and fakers.

On the other hand a new book on Obama’s father last year opened up new avenues of discussion about his family origins. There is lots of new material to discuss since the Third Conference in 2011. For example, I am very suspicious why Obama’s administration released confidential government records about his father to a liberal journalist from the Boston Globe and has not made the records available to conservative researchers.

Some people are now filing election cases challenging Obama's eligibility to run as a candidate for president (I am not linked to any of the lawsuits). While most of these have been thrown out, I will be curious to see if anyone can provide a case where actual progress is being made. Way back in 2008 I expressed my doubt that the courts would ever involve themselves in issues concerning Obama’s past.

My conference is designed to provide an opportunity for rational discussion and debate based on the Obama “archive.” Whether you love Obama or dislike him, Obama is a fact of American history. I have helped to write the first draft of Obama’s history. I invite others to join me in discussing what we know, and what we still don’t know, about his past.

Although I am a candidate for president my conferences have always been nonpartisan. You can see tapes of last year’s discussion on my YouTube channel, www.YouTube.com/Martinin2012.

There’s a lot to talk about and we will have both a civil and scholarly discussion about Barack Obama’s family history and academic history.

We will also discuss my upcoming investigative trip to Hawai’i to conduct ongoing research on Obama’s family history. You are also welcome to join us in Hawai’i. I still believe my theory (underline: not a “fact”) that Frank Marshal Davis is Obama’s biological father will be vindicated in time. I’d love to speak with Frank’s descendents about my thoughts. DNA anyone?

We will send out a registration form in a day or two in case you will be in Washington and want to attend in March. It’s also a beautiful time of year to be in the nation’s capital.

If you can’t make the conference or the trip to Honolulu but want to support the investigative work of the Committee of One Million, you can send a check payable to the Committee of One Million. Everyone is a volunteer and every penny goes to support Obama research.

ANDY MARTIN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION FLORIDA DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Palm Beach news conference today, Friday, April 8th to “fire” presidential aspirant Donald Trump if Trump won’t do his ‘Birther’ homework

Martin says political campaigns are very different than business deals: candor and accuracy are at a premium

Martin says Trump has already made statements about Obama that have boomeranged and embarrassed the “Birther” movement

Martin says his inquiries have found no evidence of Trump investigators in Hawai’i

Martin says he and Trump are on the “Truth Team”

(NEW YORK)(April 8, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Palm Beach news conference today, Friday, April 8th at 3:00 P.M. to offer to help real estate investor Donald Trump better understand the facts involving Barack Obama’s clouded birth. Martin is in South Florida following up on a debate challenge Andy made to Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts.

“Donald Trump has been the proverbial manna from heaven,” Martin says. “He has pushed the question of Barack Obama’s birth onto every television network and cable channel. There is no way I could ever thank Donald enough for what he has done to raise the profile of the ‘Birther’ movement. But in the past few days Donald has made some remarks that could undermine him. I’m not saying ‘You’re fired,’ yet, but Donald has to do his homework before he goes further.

“Seven years ago I created the ‘Birther’ movement when I started exposing Barack Obama’s lies and exaggerations,” Martin notes. “I wrote the first ‘birth certificate’ stories in 2007. During the past seven years Obama has confronted an indefatigable adversary. I have been committed to searching for the truth, and finding the facts, nothing more, nothing less.

“When I landed in Honolulu in 2008 I was the first independent investigator to look into Obama’s hidden past on the island.

“That’s why Obama has tried to smear me on national television and on the front page of the New York Times; but he has never shaken any of my facts. That’s why Obama’s dirty tricks people continue to be terrified by my investigations and harass my campaign for president.

“Last weekend we conducted a two-day conference on Obama’s missing birth certificate in Washington, DC. It was our Third National Conference:

http://www.NationalConferenceonObama.blogspot.com/

“We have now created our own YouTube channel, and posted all of the video from the conference (see links under “links to this story” below).

“For those interested in a concise examination of the questions surrounding Obama’s birth, I refer people (and Donald) to my original 2008 interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZwON6dKHks

“After sending a crew to follow me part of the time in Honolulu, CNN yucked up the results of my research:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FshRJ4yxafk&feature=related

“But I then embarrassed CNN. Shortly after they made a joke of my research, we proved CNN wrong. CNN had relied on the bogus ‘birth certificate’ Obama provides to shield disclosure of his original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate. And of course the ultimate ‘gold standard’ interview on Barack Obama was done by me on Sean Hannity’s America:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgjQhnDEGSk

“I think my interview with Sean Hannity predicted with uncanny accuracy what Obama would become in the White House.

“Where is Trump making mistakes? First, Trump has referred to Obama’s ‘grandmother.’ I debunked the ‘grandmother’ story four years ago. The lady in question is not Obama’s grandmother. Obama lied and tried to falsely portray the Kenyan woman as a ‘grandmother’ to the gullible mainstream media because he was ashamed to introduce his real grandmother in Hawai’i. Obama’s bogus grandmother was a chapter in my book (see below)

“Second, I created the original investigative team in Hawai’i. We have done investigations of Obama, photographed areas of interest, and conducted conferences. There is a pretty substantial archive of our activity.

“There is no evidence of any ‘Trump’ investigators in Hawai’i. Trump, of course, is known for hyperbole in his television and real estate projects. But presidential candidates can’t lie to the public. If Trump exaggerates what he is actually doing, he could tarnish all of the other Republican candidates, including me. Especially me, because I am the ‘Birther’ presidential candidate.

“Given that my due and diligent search could find no evidence of Trump investigators in Honolulu, Donald needs to come forward to disclose (i) who his investigators are and (ii) what absolutely ‘unbelievable information’ he claims to have discovered.

“Unlike business and ‘deals,’ politics is not a hide-go-seek enterprise. If you say something you have to produce something. The public’s memory is long, and virtually indelible, where candidates are concerned.

“In closing, I am here to help Mr. Trump. We are on the same team. The ‘Truth Team.’ We are on the same side of history. We both want the facts about Obama to come out.

“I am happy to brief Mr. Trump on the history of the ‘Birther’ movement. Donald has to realize that in political campaigns, making inflated statements can impose long-term costs and boomerang. If he claims to have found ‘unbelievable information’ and fails to produce it, over 100 million Ameliorants who have doubts about Obama will be frustrated and tarnished.

“So, no, it’s not time to say ‘You’re fired,’ yet. But Donald has to be aware of the need for accuracy and precision when making statements about the president of the United States. If Donald wants the benefit of my investigative resources in Honolulu, I am ready to jump on a plane and help him out there as well. Investigating Obama can and should be a team effort. My record shows I am in for the long haul. I hope Trump is too.

“To date I am the only formally announced Republican presidential candidate. We are running ads and rolling out a national campaign (see presidential website above). I welcome Donald to the race, if he decides to run. And we can and should work together on the Obama birth issue even after he becomes a candidate. The issues involving Obama’s birth should be a bipartisan inquiry,” Andy says.

Republican Presidential candidate Andy Martin condemns Miami Herald race-baiting

Andy Martin says Leonard Pitts is a “racist storm trooper” for Barack Obama

The man the left calls the “King of the Birthers” says mainstream media have been frenzied since Donald Trump effectively joined the Birther movement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin closed the Third National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate with an attack on the Miami Herald for publishing a race-baiting column by Leonard Pitts

Martin says that Leonard Pitts is nothing more than a racist storm trooper for Barack Obama

Martin says leftist media are increasingly in a frenzy since liberal “Birther” polls show over 100 million Americans are concerned about where and how Obama was born

(NEW YORK)(April 3, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin told a Washington, DC news conference Saturday that the Miami Herald acted irresponsibly in allowing Leonard Pitts to publish a column goading loyal Americans into using racial epithets.

“Affirmative action has to have some limits,” Martin says. “Allowing Pitts to foment race war from his protected perch at the Herald goes too far. Allowing so-called ‘minority journalists’ to engage in conduct that would get a white columnist fired is disrespectful. It is shameful behavior.

“I think that the media have done a good job trying to extirpate the use of racial epithets. Certainly the so-called ‘N-word’ has vanished from responsible media and normal conversation. Today most of us only hear the N-word used by minorities in urban areas. Why is Leonard Pitts trying to get loyal Americans to use racial epithets? The man has lost his mind.

“No one is against Barack Obama because of his half-race. After all, he’s half white. I rarely encounter anyone who even mentions Obama’s race. Instead, they are focused on his incompetence and feckless leadership (of which I will have a column condemning Obama on Monday). And, yes, because of Obama’s own evasive behavior, people have sincere doubts about where he was born.

“Why can’t African-Americans stop playing the race card and start realizing Barack is a loser? Obama is an American loser. After all, it was overwhelmingly white American voters who put this guy in the White House. He didn’t get there by accident. People voted for him. And many people who voted for Obama now regret that vote. Big Time.

“Obama skillfully exploits race as a defense to his own incompetence. This Wednesday Obama is coming to New York to honor a race-baiter: Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton? Honored by the president of the United States? Race-baiting Al Sharpton? What does Leonard Pitts have to say about that? More demands for use of the ‘N-word?’ Who’s really playing the race card here? African-American pols or honest white voters that only want the facts about Obama’s origins?

“Is Chris Matthews of MSNBC a racist? I don’t think so. But he has demanded Obama release the birth certificate. There is a long list of people on both the left and right who want to move on from the issue of Obama's birth certificate. But the American people want answers, not excuses. Republican Party leadership is out of step with the rank-and-file on the Birther question.

“Over one hundred million Americans demand that Obama authorize release of the original, typewritten 1961 document, not the ersatz ‘certificate of live birth’ that he printed out by computer in 2008 (see poll link below in HuffPo). Is that too much to ask of the president of the United States?

“Donald Trump has now effectively joined the Birther movement. The Huffington Post calls me the ‘King of the Birthers’ (see link below) but I am ready to share my bogus royalty with Donald. Trump and I want to see the original document. We want the facts and we want the truth. And we are not going to drop the issue unless and until we get the facts and the truth. That's a fact. So Obama can run, but ultimately he can’t hide from who he is. Or who he isn't.

“The Obamas have been playing rope-a-dope with his family origins for several years. Michelle Obama has said Obama’s ‘home’ is in Kenya (see link below). They feed the frenzy over Obama’s uncertain provenance. And after adding fuel to the fire, they turn around and accuse confused Americans of being ‘racist.’

“I happen to be one of the Birthers who believes that Obama was born in Hawai’i. I still want to see the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate. As an author and scholar I have that right. The missing document is a legitimate presidential archive.

“Other ‘Birthers’ believe Obama was born in Kenya. Some believe his birthplace is Seattle. But wherever Obama was born, he is a disgrace to the United States and to every American. Those who voted for him, and those who didn’t.

“Obama has been playing the ‘birth certificate game’ for several years. He thinks the issue is a joke. But it is not a joke when serious questions exist and gaps have not been answered. Obama’s persistent refusal to authorize release of the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate is poisoning our politics. Ultimately, Obama could fall victim to his own too-clever-by-half tactics. Obama could defeat himself for reelection.

“Republicans don’t really have a competent opponent (except me) to challenge Obama. As the guy who literally ‘wrote the book’ on Obama I know his ‘game.’ I have spent 45t years fighting corruption in Chicago and Illinois. But if the current situation keeps up, and if Pitts keeps playing the race card and using the N-word, Obama will defeat himself irrespective of whom the Republicans nominate. Republicans could win in 2012 by default, the same way they won in 2010 by default.

“Racial profiteers such as Leonard Pitts are acting as Obama ‘fronts’ in seeking to trigger a race war over Obama’s potential ineligibility to serve as president. Their tactics could trigger a backlash.

“Obama quietly encourages his racist storm troopers such as Leonard Pitts. Has there ever been a more persistent racist agitator than Al Sharpton? But there is Obama, coming this Wednesday to be at Sharpton's side. And Leonard Pitts thinks Birthers should be using the ‘N-word?’” For shame.

“The Herald should have some limits, even in its opinion columns. Encouraging racism the way Pitts does goes too far. Especially when racism is being used as a defense (or is it offense?) for Obama’s missing birth certificate.”
