Not trying to scare anyone, but look at all the disease these days ... don't ya have to wonder if this could be the cause of a lot of the autism, diabetes, asthma, autoimmune diseases...etc. I personally know several ppl with lupus (one recently passed) and fibromyalgia.&lt;B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;This video also claims there is aluminum and Squalene in the H1N1 vaccine. Squalene- An oil based adjuvant that has never been approved in the US as safe, can cause blindness, autoimmune dysfunction and can inhibit sperm production. More than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers from ten different laboratories throughout the U.S.,Europe, Asia, and Australia have been published documenting the development of autoimmune disease in animals subjected to squalene-based adjuvants. Novartis will make a flu vaccine using MF59 consisting of Squalene, Tween 80 - A recent study (December 2005) discovered that Tween80 can cause anaphylaxis, a sometimes fatal reaction characterized by a sharp drop in blood pressure, hives, and breathing difficulties.(one of the nuses at the nursing home claimed to feel numbness in her lips shortly after receive the infection)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;Many symptoms of aluminum toxicity are similar to those of Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. (this hits home with me since I deal with so many with Alzheimer's) Aluminum toxicity can lead to colic, rickets, gastro-intestinal disturbances, poor calcium metabolism, extreme nervousness, anemia, headache, decreased liver and kidney function, forgetfulness, speech disturbances,and memory loss, softening of the bones, and weak, aching muscles. Research suggests that a chronic calcium deficiency may change the way in which the body uses minerals. Bone loss and increased intestinal absorption of aluminum and silicon combine to form compounds that accumulate in the cerebral cortex of the brain. These compounds prevent impulses from being carried to or from the brain.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;Thimerosal- a form of mercury still found in some multi-vile vaccines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Health Effects&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Formaldehyde is an eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritant. Inhalation of vapors can produce narrowing of the bronchi and an accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Children may be more susceptible than adults to the respiratory effects of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) causes corrosive injury to the gastrointestinal tract, especially the pharynx, epiglottis, esophagus, and stomach. The systemic effects of formaldehyde are due primarily to its metabolic conversion to formate, and may include metabolic acidosis, circulatory shock, respiratory insufficiency, and acute renal failure. Formaldehyde is a potent sensitizer and a probable human carcinogen.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://traceoffaith.xanga.com/715340228/doctors-speak-out-about-h1n1-vaccine-dangers/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, October 05, 2009</title><link>http://traceoffaith.xanga.com/713883323/item/</link><guid>http://traceoffaith.xanga.com/713883323/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:37:14 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4aca4be6d1895305/4741e3c5156499a7/d7e2e46c/-cpid/c8c8999b91cbd34b" id="W4727a250e66f97234aca4be6d1895305" width="384" height="283"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4aca4be6d1895305/4741e3c5156499a7/d7e2e46c/-cpid/c8c8999b91cbd34b" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><comments>http://traceoffaith.xanga.com/713883323/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Have Some Laughs....</title><link>http://traceoffaith.xanga.com/710833452/have-some-laughs/</link><guid>http://traceoffaith.xanga.com/710833452/have-some-laughs/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Aug 2009 04:42:22 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://www.celebrationbaptistchurch.com/images/TimHawkins.jpg" width=253 height=342&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipru4c3UPb0&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded" rel=nofollow rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;FONT size=4 face=Jokerman&gt;Advice For Husbands&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=4 face=Jokerman&gt;

Is he eligible to serve as President, or isn&amp;#8217;t he?&amp;#8221; If he is, then so be it. We&amp;#8217;ll just have to grit our teeth until this long dark nightmare comes to an end&amp;#8230; one way or another.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;But what if he is not eligible? What then? Well, in that case we have a problem&amp;#8230; a very large problem, the solution to which could tear asunder the fabric of American society.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Article II, Section 1 of the &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_3 style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"&gt;U.S. Constitution states&lt;/SPAN&gt; that, &amp;#8220;No person except a natural born citizen&amp;#8230; shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.&amp;#8221;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;That&amp;#8217;s pretty straightforward, yet, when confronted with the possibility that the man who sits in the &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_4&gt;Oval Office&lt;/SPAN&gt; may be a usurper, a great many otherwise patriotic Americans can be heard to say, &amp;#8220;What difference does it make?&amp;nbsp;The election&amp;#8217;s over; the people have spoken.&amp;nbsp;Get over it!&amp;#8221;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Well, it&amp;#8217;s not quite as simple as all that and the sooner we can all be satisfied that Obama is or is not a natural born citizen, the better. To postpone that finding for a year or two and then find, conclusively, that Obama is not eligible to serve as president would be disastrous. Every new law and every executive order he had signed, every political appointment, every judicial appointment, every order he had given to the military, and every act and every decision of all of his appointees would immediately become null and void. How could we ever undo all of that?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;&lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_5&gt;The American people&lt;/SPAN&gt; would quickly learn that it is not much easier to undo two or three years of history than it is to undo a decade or a century. It is imperative that we get to the bottom of this mystery as quickly as possible so that all Americans, regardless of party affiliation, can finally accept that, like it or not, Barack Obama is our president. In order to do that, and to force Obama to end his stubborn refusal to produce his birth certificate, his &lt;A class=kLink id=KonaLink0 href="http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2700/pub_detail.asp#" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif" color=blue&gt;&lt;SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif"&gt;passports&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;, his visas, and his college records, we must continue to recruit more and more Americans to insist that he do so.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;To do that, it is not necessary to prove that he was born in &lt;A class=kLink id=KonaLink1 href="http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2700/pub_detail.asp#" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif" color=blue&gt;&lt;SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif"&gt;Kenya&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;, not in &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_6&gt;Hawaii&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;#8230; as his &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_7&gt;paternal grandmother&lt;/SPAN&gt;, a Kenyan half-brother, and a Kenyan half-sister insist&amp;#8230; or who his natural father may have been.

What is not established, and what is critically important, is what passport he used during that trip.&amp;nbsp;There are only three possibilities: Obama could have traveled under a U.S. passport&amp;#8230; a passport first issued when he and his mother moved from Hawaii to Indonesia in 1967; he could have traveled under an &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_14 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"&gt;Indonesian passport&lt;/SPAN&gt;, issued following his adoption by his Indonesian stepfather; and it is conceivable that, if he was, in fact, born in &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_15&gt;Kenya&lt;/SPAN&gt; in 1961, he could still have been a &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_16&gt;British subject&lt;/SPAN&gt;, traveling with a &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_17 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"&gt;British passport&lt;/SPAN&gt;. So which is it?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Unfortunately for Obama, in the present circumstance, Pakistan was under &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_18&gt;martial law&lt;/SPAN&gt; in 1981 and certain undesirables&amp;#8230; Christians, Jews, and Americans&amp;#8230; were prohibited from entering the country. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;no travel&amp;#8221; list, making a U.S. passport no more valuable than an empty chewing gum wrapper at the Karachi Port of Entry.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;So how did a young man who arrived in &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_19&gt;New York&lt;/SPAN&gt; in early June 1981, without the price of a &lt;A class=kLink id=KonaLink6 href="http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2700/pub_detail.asp#" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif" color=blue&gt;&lt;SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif"&gt;hotel &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif"&gt;room&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a &lt;A class=kLink id=KonaLink7 href="http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2700/pub_detail.asp#" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif" color=blue&gt;&lt;SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif"&gt;round-the-world&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; trip just a month later? And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York, &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_20&gt;Jakarta&lt;/SPAN&gt;, and Karachi, what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?&amp;nbsp;The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they &lt;I&gt;must&lt;/I&gt; have answers.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;It makes the debate over Obama&amp;#8217;s citizenship a rather short and simple one.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;A: Yes, by his own admission.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Q: What passport did he travel under?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;A: There are only three possibilities.&amp;nbsp;1.

Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Is he a &amp;#8220;natural born&amp;#8221; citizen, or isn&amp;#8217;t he? It seems pretty clear from the available evidence that he is not. If that proves to be the case he should minimize the damage to the country and follow the Nixon example; he should simply resign from office so that we can begin to clean up the mess he leaves behind. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: #333333"&gt;&lt;A href="http://familysecuritymatters.org/" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ae040d&gt;&lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_22&gt;FamilySecurityMatters.org&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; Contributing Editor Paul Hollrah is a Senior Fellow at the &lt;A href="http://familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2014/pub_detail.asp" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ae040d&gt;&lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237299234_23&gt;Lincoln&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; Heritage Institute&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: #333333"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: #333333"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: #333333"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: #333333"&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;Obama's Intelligence Adviser Involved in Security Breach&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Obama&amp;#8217;s top terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O. Brennan, heads a firm that was cited in March for breaching sensitive files in the State Department&amp;#8217;s passport office, according to a State Department Inspector General&amp;#8217;s report released this past July.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The security breach, first reported by the Washington Times and later confirmed by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, involved a contract employee of Brennan&amp;#8217;s firm, The Analysis Corp., which has earned millions of dollars providing intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies and private companies.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;During a State Department briefing on March 21, 2008, McCormack confirmed that the contractor had accessed the passport files of presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John McCain, and that the inspector general had launched an investigation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sources who tracked the investigation tell Newsmax that the main target of the breach was the Obama passport file, and that the contractor accessed the file in order to "cauterize" the records of potentially embarrassing information.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"They looked at the McCain and Clinton files as well to create confusion," one knowledgeable source told Newsmax. "But this was basically an attempt to cauterize the Obama file."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;At the time of the breach, Brennan was working as an unpaid adviser to the Obama campaign.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"This individual's actions were taken without the knowledge or direction of anyone at The Analysis Corp. and are wholly inconsistent with our professional and ethical standards," Brennan&amp;#8217;s company said in a statement sent to reporters after the passport breach was made public.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The passport files include "personally identifiable information such as the applicant&amp;#8217;s name, gender, social security number, date and place of birth, and passport number," according to the inspector general report.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The files may contain additional information including "original copies of the associated documents," the report added. Such documents include birth certificates, naturalization certificates, or oaths of allegiance for U.S.-born persons who adopted the citizenship of a foreign country as minors.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Obama campaign acknowledged at its "Fight the Smears" Web site that Obama was a foreign national until the age of 18, by virtue of his father&amp;#8217;s British then Kenyan citizenship.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982," the Web site stated.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Fight the Smears" attempted to debunk rumors that Obama was not a U.S. citizen by producing a 2007 computer-generated copy of his certification of live birth.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America," the Web site states.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;However, "native citizen" is a colloquialism, not a legal term. It is not the same as "natural-born citizen," the requirement to be president set out in Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Chief Justice John Roberts has scheduled a Supreme Court conference on Jan. 23 on Lightfoot v. Bowen, one of several cases alleging that Obama is not a "natural born" citizen because of his birthright British citizenship.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The State Department chalked up the passport file snooping discovered in March 2008 to "imprudent curiosity" by contract employees hired to help process passport applications.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Asked by reporters during a campaign stop in Portland, Ore., to comment on the breach, Obama said that attempts to "tap into people&amp;#8217;s personal records" were "a problem not just for me but for how our government functions.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"I expect a full and thorough investigation. It should be done in conjunction with those congressional committees that have oversight so it's not simply an internal matter," he added.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice phoned Obama and personally apologized for the breach. "I told him that I myself would be very disturbed if I learned that somebody had looked into my passport file," Rice told reporters. She phoned Clinton and McCain and offered similar apologies.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Following the breach, State Department managers met with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph Biden, whose committee has oversight over the Foreign Service and the passport office. Biden will be sworn in as Obama&amp;#8217;s vice president on Jan. 20.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The State Department Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a 104-page report on the breach last July. Although it is stamped "Sensitive but Unclassified," the report was heavily redacted in the version released to the public, with page after page blacked out entirely.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The problems posed by the breach were so serious that the inspector general recommended that the State Department conduct "vulnerability and risk assessments of all passport systems" to identify security weaknesses and suggest "a timetable for implementing corrective actions."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Acting Assistant secretary for administration William H. Moser sent a six-page reply concurring with the recommendation, all but one paragraph of which was blacked out because of the sensitivity of the information it contained.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Had Brennan been appointed CIA director, as rumored in the Obama campaign shortly after the election, senators also would have questioned him about an article he wrote in an obscure foreign policy magazine over the summer.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The article, entitled "The Conundrum of Iran: Strengthening Moderates without Acquiescing to Belligerence," appeared in the July issue of "The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Among other recommendations, it argued that the next U.S. administration should grant political legitimacy to the terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas, and should exercise "strategic patience" with Iran rather than engaging in "bellicose" rhetoric and coercive diplomacy.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;#169; 2009 Newsmax.
