Excerpts:

LONDON – In a nearly empty courtroom at the Southwerk Crown Court by the historic London Bridge, a hearing took place in a criminal case that not only has national security implications for the United Kingdom, but, curiously, is woven into the increasingly bizarre fabric of the controversy over Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility.

Obama’s birth story

In the U.S., Shrimpton recently has drawn attention with the re-circulation of a video that shows him claiming that the CIA collected DNA from Obama and a grandparent in 2008 as Obama was running for president.

Shrimpton says he was informed that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya, in about 1960, which means, he said, the information sits in British intelligence files, because that territory was under the British Empire at the time.

Shrimpton alleged that through DNA tests conducted during Obama’s initial presidential campaign, the CIA established Stanley Ann Dunham was not Obama’s biological mother.

He said Dunham was not pregnant in July 1961, yet it is claimed that she gave birth to Barack Obama Jr. on Aug. 4, 1961.

Shrimpton said it was his understanding that the DNA samples were collected at a fundraising dinner from water glasses that were bagged after the dinner.

However, Stanley Ann Dunham’s father, Stanley Amour Dunham, died in 1992. Her mother, Madelyn Dunham, died of cancer Nov. 2, 2008, and was not know to have made public appearances in Obama’s campaign, though she did turn up briefly in an April 2008 Obama TV commercial. A TV news report on the commercial by Honolulu’s KITV said Madelyn Dunham had tried to stay out of the campaign and declined formal interviews. When a KITV reporter reached her by phone, she said she hadn’t seen the commercial and was surprised to learn she was in it.

In conversations with WND, nevertheless, Shrimpton doubled down on the claims he made in 2008 by asserting that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, as part of his negotiations to leave Hong Kong, agreed to deliver to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow the classified U.S. military intelligence file on Obama’s DNA.

Shrimpton made clear he intends to subpoena from the CIA and from British intelligence any records either agency may have on Obama’s DNA.

“I intend to stand by my allegations regarding the Obama birth certificate, knowing that U.S. intelligence agencies will prefer to characterize me as crazy and delusional rather than admit the CIA has the files I believe they have on Obama DNA,” Shrimpton insisted.

Update: Obama Eligibility Source Challenges UK Government; Classified Info

Excerpt:

'OBAMA ELIGIBILITY SOURCE' CHALLENGES U.K. GOV'T
Pressing for classified info to back extraordinary claims
Dr. Jerome Corsi | WND

This is the second of three articles examining the criminal defense planned by British barrister Michael Shrimpton on national security charges in a London jury trial scheduled to begin Nov. 10.

LONDON – Several British military intelligence sources with a long track record say they are prepared to testify in the trial of a barrister charged with allegedly making false claims to British government officials that a terrorist nuclear attack was under way during the 2012 Olympics in London.

As WND reported, Michael Shrimpton, who faces a Nov. 10 trial, also appears in a 2008 video that began re-circulating earlier this year on the Internet in which he claims to have been privy to shocking intelligence information on Obama’s origins. Shrimpton contends to this day that the CIA collected DNA from then-Sen. Obama and a grandparent, establishing that Stanley Ann Dunham was not Obama’s biological mother. He intends to subpoena from the CIA and British intelligence any records either agency may have on Obama’s DNA.

After a March 17 hearing in the London case, WND met in the U.K. with British intelligence experts who were asked to evaluate Shrimpton and his defense.

Evaluating the case

Christopher Monckton, a former aide to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and a WND columnist, said he believes Shrimpton was acting in good faith when he made the terror-threat report to the British government.

“My best guess is that the government will eventually see the sense in dropping the criminal prosecution against Shrimpton, since it is quite clear from my own earlier discussions with Shrimpton about this episode that he genuinely believed that terrorists had obtained a redundant German submarine and were planning to sail it up the Thames and blow up the Olympics with a nuclear weapon,” Monckton said in an interview with WND in London.

“It was entirely clear from my discussions with Michael that he was trying to do the right thing, and the authorities do not, in the end, want to deter people from making reports that might prevent mass murder on a horrific scale,” Monckton said.

After reviewing court filings Shrimpton had prepared in his defense, Monckton concluded Shrimpton has legitimate contacts in the military intelligence community. Monckton considers it possible that at trial Shrimpton could subpoena classified documents and expert testimony that would support his various claims.

“However, it is also possible that the government may be stupid enough to try to proceed with the case,” he cautioned.

Particularly problematic for the prosecution, according to Monckton, could be Shrimpton’s charges that the CIA conducted DNA tests on Barack Obama in 2008 that Shrimpton alleges prove Ann Dunham was not Obama’s natural mother.

“If Shrimpton were to be shown a CIA document indicating that a DNA test had been done on Mr. Obama, there would be some stringent conditions of confidentiality,” Monckton said.

“Shrimpton would probably not be allowed to have a copy of the document, but would be required to read it in the presence of an agent.”

Trial Update: Obama Eligibility Source Plans To Subpoena Sensitive Documents

Excerpt:

'OBAMA ELIGIBILITY SOURCE' COULD 'EMBARRASS' U.S., U.K.
Plans to subpoena sensitive documents during trial
Dr. Jerome Corsi | WND

This is the third of three articles examining the criminal defense planned by British barrister Michael Simpson on national security charges in a London jury trial scheduled to begin Nov. 10.

LONDON – Self-proclaimed international intelligence expert Michael Shrimpton plans to launch a vigorous defense on charges of making false claims to British government officials that a terrorist nuclear attack was under way during the 2012 Olympics in London, raising the possibility documents and testimony he plans to subpoena will embarrass the U.K., German and U.S. governments.

As WND reported, Shrimpton, who faces a Nov. 10 trial, also appears in a 2008 video that began re-circulating earlier this year on the Internet in which he claims to have been privy to shocking intelligence information on Obama’s origins. Shrimpton contends to this day that the CIA collected DNA from then-Sen. Obama and a grandparent establishes that Stanley Ann Dunham was not Obama’s biological mother. He intends to subpoena from the CIA and British intelligence any records either agency may have on Obama’s DNA.

WND also reported several British military intelligence sources with a long track record say they are prepared to testify in Shrimpton’s trial.

Former Margaret Thatcher adviser Christopher Monckton told WND in London that the defense Shrimpton launches acting as his own lawyer will open up areas of inquiry that could grant him access to classified documents.

“In the event the government instructs the Crown Prosecution Service to proceed with Shrimpton’s criminal case, the rights of the defendant in a criminal trial are no less than they are in the United States,” Monckton noted. “Mr. Shrimpton is entitled to see just about any documents he asks for, however heavily classified they may be.”

Monckton speculated that one reason Judge Alistair William McCreath at the March 17 hearing in Southwark Crown Court may have postponed Shrimpton’s trial was to give the CPS time to consider dropping the case.

Repeatedly, credible intelligence agents in London and the U.S. who were reluctant to be named cautioned that even if Shrimpton could not prove 100 percent of the claims he makes, the government will have to admit disinformation that was peddled not to alarm citizens about domestic and foreign policy corruption.

A prominent intelligence expert outside London noted to WND in a private interview that Shrimpton has made claims regarding the prominent U.K. case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

McCann’s disappeared at the age of 3 the evening of May 3, 2007, from her bed in a resort apartment in Portugal, where she was on holiday with her family.

The McCann abduction [...] Continued @ WND.
