(New York September 22, 2015 ) Republican presidential
candidate and Obama author/expert Andy Martin will hold a New
York news conference today, Tuesday, September 22nd
to provide continuing analysis and surprising new conclusions as Andy continues
to study President Barack Obama and the 2016 presidential campaign.
Andy will be in Honolulu
Wednesday September 23rd to research the North Korean missile threat to the Aloha
State
“I don’t mind being critical of Obama,” Andy says. “But my
independent scholarly research is as free of political content as I can keep
it; I try to find the facts and search for the truth about Obama. Over the past
decade it has been a fascinating experience. Separately, I also write political
criticism and analysis and that is opinion-based in nature.
“After my extensive analysis of the Trump/Muslim/New
Hampshire incident I was planning to do a brief wrap-up. But as the story
developed, and has continued to develop, I reexamined my own views and came to
the conclusion a more extensive follow-up was necessary. I was also surprised
by some of the media’s reaction. And so I have four areas of discussion to present
on Tuesday.
“First, there is some of the surprising media’s response to
the Obama/Trump/Muslim matter. Initially, I was surprised by the unusually balanced
analysis review by my old antagonist David Weigel [see [2] below). Years ago
Weigel tried to pump up his own credentials by falsely attacking me and trying
to link my research on Obama with decades-old litigation having absolutely no
relevance in the present. But there was Weigel saying Donald Trump may not have
handled the New Hampshire
inquisitor that badly after all. I was further surprised when my old colleague
from the Daily Illini, Roger Simon, came up with a negative view of Obama’s
religiosity (see [2] below).
“Monday night I was monitoring MSNBC when John MacArthur (note
[3]) essentially called Obama a fake Christian, providing some insight into how
some ordinary citizens have soured on Obama’s ultimately vacuous claims of religiosity.
“Here is the surprising aspect of the Muslim question: Obama
is not on the ballot in 2016. So why are people still questioning his religion?
Why are media reporting these questions? This makes no sense. What gives? In my
opinion, particularly in 2008 and then again in 2012, voters were deprived by
Republican presidential candidates of any meaningful inquiry into
Obama-the-man. John McCain and Mitt Romney are both reviled today for running
flaccid campaigns against Obama. The default by Republican campaigners to
challenge Obama in 2008 and 2012 has left a pent-up frustration in much of the
electorate, particularly among Republicans and conservatives. So although Obama
is not going to be on the ballot, people still want to ‘vent’ about the way his
specious religious claims have affected his governance.
“Bottom line: Obama may not be a candidate in 2016, but
‘Obama’ is very much going to be an issue in 2016, even as to the manner in
which the media covered-up and suppressed any inquiry into Obama’s questionable
religious claims. Just read Roger Simon [2] and you will understand what I mean. So, far from
dying out, the issue of Obama’s religion is going to continue to be an active
subterranean issue in the 2016 campaign. Occasionally it may burst into public
view, as it did at the Trump event.
“Second I separated out the issues raised in New
Hampshire into (1) ‘birth’ and (2) ‘religion.’ (see
Part Three below). As to Obama’s birth, I have researched that matter for ten
years, and will be back in Hawai’i
on Wednesday checking and rechecking my research. I will also be looking for
the heirs of Frank Marshall Davis to expand on my theory (not fact) that Davis
may have been Obama’s biological parent. But whether you believe in the Obama
or Davis theory of parentage for the president, I have never seen any evidence
to question the place of Obama’s birth, which I firmly believe is Hawai’i .
“You can’t force people to accept the Hawaiian birth, but
there is simply no evidence that would be admissible in a court of law to
support any alternative theory. I have never wavered in my belief that Obama
was born in Hawai’i (which is why
Obama’s posse particularly despises me; Obama’s supporters love Kenyan
‘birthers’). My belief in the Hawaiian birth is why I abandoned the ‘birther’
movement which I engendered, when agitators sought to promote the Kenyan birth
theory without any genuine evidence to support that claim.
“Third, I was somewhat surprised when I found myself having
second thoughts about whether it is ‘wrong’ for American citizens to reject the
media’s claims that Obama is a Christian
and to believe instead that Obama is a Muslim. The place of birth in my opinion
is a solid fact. It is difficult to have a conflicting view based on the
evidence.
“But the question of religion, as I took a fresh look at the
issue this week, is entirely different question. While I think there is no
evidence to contradict the Hawaiian birth, there is abundant and conflicting
evidence to support a belief that Obama is in reality a Muslim despite his
professions to the contrary.
“There is no conflicting ‘evidence’ to weigh on the place of
birth. Hawai’i is ‘it.’ But on
the question of Obama’s religion, there is a mass of conflicting evidence. So,
despite the media’s efforts to ridicule and demean the roughly 50% of Americans
and Republicans or ‘whomevers’ believe that Obama is a Muslim, I have come to
the new and somewhat surprising conclusion that based on the large body of
conflicting evidence, people do have a basis to express differing opinions on Obama’s
religion.
“You or I or Joe Six-pack can review Obama’s ‘Cairo speech,’
the Muslim apology tour, the kissing of the hand of the Saudi king, the refusal
to use the term ‘radical Islam’ and the mountain of conflicting claims about
Obama’s religious sympathies, and reach differing conclusions as to his
religious beliefs.
“I have previously stated that under my view of
Christianity, anyone who calls themselves a Christian can be considered a
Christian. On that basis I accept Obama’s claim he is a ‘Christian.’ But like
John MacArthur on MSNBC Monday night ([3] below) it is not unreasonable to view
Obama’s claims of Christianity as ‘fake’ or contrived. Roger Simon ([2] below)
came to approximately the same conclusion.
“And so today I propound a new paradigm for the media: there
is simply no basis to argue about where Obama was born. But based on the huge
quantity of conflicting evidence about Obama’s religious beliefs, reasonable
people can weigh the evidence and individually come to differing or conflicting
conclusions that Obama is either a Christian or a Muslim. I am a little
surprised to be reaching this conclusion in 2015, but I now view the question
of Obama’s religion as an ‘opinion’ issue as opposed to the question of Obama’s
place of birth which I continue to believe it a matter of ‘fact.’
“Therefore, I believe the media are wrong to ridicule the
(and I am not trying to be numerically exact) the roughly half of the
Republican population that has doubts about Obama’s religious beliefs and
affiliation. There is abundant evidence in conflict from which people can reach
contrary and differing opinions.
“Fourth and finally, I examined the ‘media conspiracy
theory’ and then Trump’s reaction. It is nearly a week since the Trump event. Rochester
is a small town in New Hampshire .
How is it possible that with all of the media present no one has identified the
questioner who asked Trump the ‘Muslim’ question? I am suspicious that media
are not looking for the questioner because his anonymity feeds the media’s
anti-Trump agenda. How is it possible that grainy convenience store surveillance
tapes are routinely used to find neighborhood burglars and the clear pictures
of the man in Rochester have not
led to identification and an interview?
“As for Trump, the Obama-is-a-Muslim question has been pure ‘profit.’
There is no evidence that Trump is linked to the man. The questioner has
awakened anti-Obama activists (see [4] below). The media have relentlessly reminded
Republicans and conservatives of Trump’s own ‘birther’ history. And as
manifested by the questioner and the reaction, Birtherism remains a potent
force in national politics. Anger at Obama and the Republicans’ ‘betrayals’ of
the ‘base’ are increasing, not subsiding.
“For Trump, the controversy has been pure political profit.
Right now, Trump is trying to win a party nomination, not a partisan election.
The renewed birther controversy reminds voters that whatever the merits of
Trump’s arguments, his insistence that Obama release his birth certificate led
Obama to do just that. Once again, Trump got results where others had not.
“Wednesday I will be in Hawai’i
continuing my scholarly research on Obama. Calling all Frank Marshall Davis
heirs! What was originally planned as a trip primarily focused on the North
Korean missile threat to Hawai’i
has morphed into more of an Obama inquiry due to an anonymous man in Rochester ,
New Hampshire
