Honolulu Hawaii: Boats go out to sea


Boats go out to sea for safety.


Engenheiros do Hawaii – Somos quem podemos ser (Acustico MTV)


Gostou? clique no joinha e se inscreva no canal, essse video não foi pego do you tube, não foi copiado, foi editado por mim. Acústico MTV é um álbum da banda de rock brasileira Engenheiros do Hawaii, lançado em CD e DVD em Novembro de 2004. Gravado no Espaço Locall em Agosto de 2004, o disco reúne a maior parte dos sucessos da banda, como O Papa é Pop, Infinita Highway, Somos Quem Podemos Ser, entre outros; canções do projeto solo Humberto Gessinger Trio, como O Preço, Vida Real e De Fé; e músicas inéditas (Armas Químicas e Poemas, Outras Frequências e Depois de Nós). O álbum se diferencia da maior parte dos Acústicos por não incluir participações especiais, apenas “fraternais”: Clara Gessinger, filha do líder Humberto Gessinger (em “Pose”), eo ex-baterista e fundador da banda, Carlos Maltz (em Depois de Nós, música de sua autoria).

Not Natural Born — TRUTH MATTERS


The video starts out with some content from obamasnippets.com, which, of course is contrived. And yet, there seems to be a synthetic truth about what the president says. Is he “natural born” according to the Constitution? No. The requirement is that BOTH parents need to be US Citizens. Two US Citizen parents produce a “natural born” citizen. It’s likely that Mr. Obama was REGISTERED in Hawaii, therefore he has a COLB from Hawaii. The truth may well be he was born in Kenya; that is where we believe his “long-form” birth certificate was issued. Nevertheless, “natural born” indicates, and speaks to the fact that BOTH parents have to be US Citizens. His father WAS NEVER a US Citizen, therefore, Barack Hussein Obama is NOT a “natural born” Citizen of the United States, thus he is in violation of Amendment 14, and Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 5 of the United States Constitution.
