Here we go again

As you all know, Donald Trump made a big deal about Obama's birth certificate and the White House released the birth certificate.

I will tell you right now that I had never given this "birther" issue any credit. I watched the hype and the crazies come out. I completely dismissed the entire ordeal altogether. In fact, it was not until the White House released the birth certificate that it had gained my attention.

I am the studious sort of guy, and I have plenty of time on my hands. So, I took a close look at this document. While I would have thought that this issue would have been closed for good (and, got the crazies to crawl back into their holes), I found two extremely strange inconsistencies that merit some attention.

First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in "Kenya, East Africa". This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could have Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate". But, this is not the only thing that I found that just does not jive.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, British East Africa became known as Kenya on 12 December 1963 and a year later, 12 December 1964, the Republic of Kenya was proclaimed. (Wikipedia - ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya#History -Post Colonial History)

The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born in. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital". This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

Go ahead, look it up. I am not talking crazy talk, these are the facts. Like I said, I thought that this was a non-issue until the actual certificate was released. Now that it has been released, of course I had to look into it. I have found these issues, now I know that something is up. If you doubt me, just look at the following resources:

Sure enoughl, the hospital part is true, as you can read about the 1978 merger here. http://www.kapiolani.org/women-and-children/about-us/default.aspx

Post-colonial history

The first direct elections for Africans to the Legislative Council took place in 1957. Despite British hopes of handing power to "moderate" African rivals, it was the Kenya African National Union (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta that formed a government shortly before Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963, on the same day forming the first Constitution of Kenya.[36] During the same year, the Kenyan army fought the Shifta War against ethnic Somalis who wanted Kenya's NFD joined with the Republic of Somalia. The Shiftas were defeated in 1967.[citation needed] To discourage further invasions, Kenya signed a defence pact with Ethiopia in 1969, which is still in effect.[37]

On 12 December 1964 the Republic of Kenya was proclaimed, and Jomo Kenyatta became Kenya's first president.[38] At Kenyatta's death in 1978, Daniel arap Moi became President. Daniel arap Moi retained the Presidency, being unopposed in elections held in 1979, 1983 (snap elections) and 1988, all of which were held under the single party constitution. The 1983 elections were held a year early, and were a direct result of an abortive military coup attempt on 1 August 1982.

The abortive coup was masterminded by a lowly ranked Air Force serviceman, Senior Private Hezekiah Ochuka and was staged mainly by enlisted men in the Air Force. The attempt was quickly suppressed by Loyalist forces led by the Army, the General Service Unit (GSU) — a paramilitary wing of the police — and later the regular police, but not without civilian casualties. This event led to the disbanding of the entire Air Force and a large number of its former members were either dismissed or court-martialled.

The election held in 1988 saw the advent of the mlolongo (queuing) system, where voters were supposed to line up behind their favoured candidates instead of a secret ballot.[39] This was seen as the climax of a very undemocratic regime and it led to widespread agitation for constitutional reform. Several contentious clauses, including one that allowed for only one political party were changed in the following years.[40] In democratic, multiparty elections in 1992 and 1997, Daniel arap Moi won re-election. In 2002, Moi was constitutionally barred from running, and Mwai Kǐbakǐ, running for the opposition coalition "National Rainbow Coalition" — NARC, was elected President. Anderson (2003) reports the elections were judged free and fair by local and international observers, and seemed to mark a turning point in Kenya's democratic evolution.[41]

Help me with this concept?

I don't understand the concept of non-essential personnel.

If they are non-essential why are companies/governments paying them.

Current rants about this adminstration

I don't understand why Obama waited this long to release his birth certificate, if its even his real one this time. However, it doesn't even matter whether he was born here or not, don't get me wrong it is a huge deal but for these purposes it is not. There is one single fact that everyone (well media) seems to fail to report or emphasize on, he went to school in Indonesia. Why is that a big deal you say? Well, based on some research I have done (and I may be wrong), at the time that he he was living and attending an Indonesian school they required an Indonesian citizenship. Well because of this law Obama would have had to become a citizen of Indonesia AND the country did not accept dual citizenship at that time, & I'm not sure if they have changed it since, so that would mean his US citizenship would be revoked. So in the end it doesn't matter where he was born, the citizenship was revoked, or in theory it should be. He does have ties to terrorists! Bill Ares, known terrorist, even admitted being friends with Obama after he was elected for President, even though during the campaign it was "debunked" or whatever.

But whatever it may be, even if he is qualified and all this birth certificate is just politics, he is still destroying the country our grandparents, parents, etc. help maintain. I respect the office but I do not respect the man. It's been 2 years and there is nothing to show for it, expect huge bailouts, stimulus, etc. Our debt has nearly doubled since Bush. Ok, Bush added alot to the deficit but that took 8 years, Obama added almost the same amount in less than 2-3 years!!! Maybe even more with his health-care overhaul. Not to mention his backdoor deals to give our money to foreign countries to drill for oil (*cough Brazil) and then make the deal so great for that country that we get nothing out of it!

Oh what about the oil crisis, he took his good old time trying to fix it but had plenty of time to make it into a political issue. Why not fix it first then do the politics of it all. I believe Obama used the crisis to his advantage to drive the issue of green energy. Bush had an oil crisis, yeah it was smaller but he wasted no time to fix it. He did what needed to be done but no, this administration says did not even accept help from other countries because of some technicality of some old law that says American unions need to be on the ships in order to help, I don't remember exact law but I remember that was the excuse. Well, why couldn't the man just give an executive order lifting the law temporarily just like Bush did during his oil crisis. I guess this administration doesn't care about getting things done, just looking good and blowing smoke up our ass.

Look it the world now, gas is going up and he's telling Saudi Arabia to increase its production. Seriously!? Our country is more of a mockery now than ever. Ok, Bush had his flaws but at least he stepped in and fixed gas prices, yeah they went up but eventually his administration got it back down, this joker now, I'm sure he's letting it get this high to again promote Green Energy. Why not? What better time to promote something, its a crisis people will eat it up and say...yeah...we need to do green energy. The thing that gets me is that if Bush was in office, people would crucify him but since it's not Bush, "oh, that's ok..Obama's trying" fuck that shit! How are you going to hold people to 2 different standards. Ok, I need to stop. There will be more later.

Movie review - Limitless

Very good movie about taking a drug that can open our ability to use the full potential of our brain...but at what cost? The main character is a writer who has not produced a descent book in a long time, behind on rent, etc. He is about to lose everything in his life until a magic pill turns his life around. With every good thing in life there is a side effect...

Movie review - Source Code

It is a good movie that keeps the audience guessing until the end. This movie is about a machine called the source code that can in essence relives the last 8 minutes of a given person's life almost like an avatar because a "pilot" is the person in their last 8 minutes. The idea is to use those last minutes to solve crimes, which in the movie revolves around a train explosion.

Movie review - Catfish

It is an ok movie, but I wouldn't buy it. It is a documentary about a guy who friends a little girl on facebook and starts suspecting something is up when she introduces him to her 19 year old seductive sister. He starts having a facebook relationship with the 19 year old and even some phone conversations but anytime he mentions about meeting up in person (even though he's on the east coast and she is in the midwest). That is the whole first half pretty much in a nutshell. The second half picks up when he decides to surprise the 8 year old for her birthday (well using that as an excuse to meet the 19). I will leave it at that so I do not give away too much incase someone actually wants to watch this. Its not as great as the hype made it out to be. Once you hit the peak of the movie you end up going wtf!
