Certification of LIve Birth  (COLB)

  
Obama's COLB is not a birth
certificate.  It never was.  It never will be, and besides, it's counterfeit.

The
Document
One really has to wonder why Obama just won't produce his birth certificate.  No, not the fraudulent "Certification of Live Birth" (COLB) that the Obama Campaign released to the Daily Kos, that looks like this:

The following is an example of a real, honest-to-God "Birth Certificate" issued by the State of Hawaii.  They look like this:

Especially
When
There Is
A Birth
Certificate
We know that Obama has a birth certificate. He tells us so, in "Dreams..."

"I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school.  It's a short piece, with a photograph of him.  No mention is made of my mother or me, and I'm left to wonder whether the omission was intentional on my father's part, in anticipation of his long departure.  Perhaps the reporter failed to ask personal questions, intimidated by my father's imperious manner; or perhaps it was an editorial decision, not part of the simple story that they were looking for.  I wonder, too, whether the omission caused a fight between my parents."

From the text of "Dreams..." (Pg. 26 last paragraph)
Hawaii
Hides
Birth
Records
And The Mystery Begins
Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation -- and even several lawsuits – Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.

The governor's office officially declined a request, made in writing, by Jerome Corsi, in Hawaii, to obtain a copy of the hospital-generated original birth certificate of Barack Obama.

"It does not appear that Dr. Corsi is within any of these categories of persons with a direct and tangible interest in the birth certificate he seeks," wrote Roz Makuala, manager of constituent services in the governor's office, in an e-mailed response to a request seeking the information.

Those listed as entitled to obtain a copy of an original birth certificate include the person born, or "registrant" according to the legal description from the governor's office, the spouse or parent of the registrant, a descendant of the registrant, a person having a common ancestor with the registrant, a legal guardian of the registrant, or a person or agency acting on behalf of the registrant.

The official reason for denial of access to Obama's birth certificate would be authority granted pursuant to Section 338-18 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, a provision the anonymous source claimed was designed to prevent identity theft.

Still, a source said, confidentially, the motivation for withholding the original birth certificate was political, although the source refused to disclose whether there was any information on the original birth certificate that would prove politically embarrassing to Obama.

The source also refused to answer questions about the original document on file with the Department of Health was a hospital-generated birth certificate or a registration of birth that may have been filed subsequent to the birth.

The anonymous source made clear the Hawaii Department of Health would immediately release Obama's original birth certificate, provided Obama requested the document be released, but the Department of Heath has received no such request from the senator or from anyone acting officially on his behalf.
Why The COLB? The obvious question must be asked:  If Obama has an original "long form" birth certificate issued on the day of his birth by the state of Hawaii, why would he also have a "Certification of Live Birth"?

It would not be necessary.

Barack Obama was asked if he was eligible to become president under the Article II ‘natural born’ eligibility clause.  Obama masked the truth by posting a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth (COLB).  His supporters declared him a natural born citizen under the 14th Amendment and the issue was pushed back into the realm of conspiracy theories.

Upon further investigation, the mask of the C.O.L.B. started to be more and more revealing of the original 1961 certificate, made much of by Hawaii’s Governor Lingle and the state’s Department of Health official, Dr. Fukino, as more probably a Dept. of Health document and not a hospital long form.  [See my recent post on the Hollister dismissal in which I quoted Endnote 12 of Mario Apuzzo's Kerchner et al vs. Obama et al case. Apuzzo's jurisprudence of challenging prima facie evidence is brilliant.

If Obama was trying to promote his Hawaiian native born status, he would have willingly posted a hospital certificate as solid, best evidence. A C.O.L.B. is labeled as only prima facie evidence; the validity of its information open to inspection by a proper Hawaiian court venue.

If the C.O.L.B. referenced document was not a hospital birth certificate, what was it?  Under Hawaiian statute, specifically §338-5,[7] it is compulsory for the Dept. of Health to register a newborn child of a Hawaiian resident, even if no documentation of place and time of birth is presented.  Only the word of one parent is required by law.

If the hidden 1961 certificate is a §338-5 form, face down like a card in a poker game, the $800,000 Barack Obama ponied up to prevent its public release means Obama is not just bluffing, but covering up perjury and other violations of election law.

In the end, a §338-5 compulsory registration will be more probative of the direct testimony evidence of Obama’s Kenyan birth,[8] than of his claimed Hawaiian birth.
The
Beginning

The
Daily
Kos

When the Daily Kos posted the now-infamous Certification of Live Birth (COLB) image along with a cover story on June 12, 2008, the Kos received 648 comments in a span of only 24 hours, of which the first 644 were about the most insipid, lame, and mindless reactions ever accumulated in one place.

 

The vast majority of them consisted of derogatory comments about John McCain and his eligibility issue:

 

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/12/534616/-Obamas-birth-certificate

 

HOWEVER, there was one, brave Kos commenter who identified all of the key anomalies in the COLB image and had the stones to question it’s authenticity.  Her screen name is AsperGirl and her comment was #643, or one of the last five comments to be posted.

 

Why is this significant?

 

Because I believe that her comments hit too close to home. I believe that she struck a nerve, and that’s why the comments section was closed off to new ones less than three hours after he post.

 

Here is her comments, and they serve as a testament to those loyal to the truth:

 

Birth Certificate is an Obvious Fake (0+ / 0-)

 

Sorry to disabuse you folks, but this birth certificate on dailykos is an obvious fake.

 

The fake "birth certificate" just appeared Thursday morning on dailykos without any reference as to who released it or where it came from.

 

There is a link from the FightTheSmears website to "the truth" posting on MyBarackObama.com to it without any reference. (i.e. there is no "this is Barack Obama’s birth certificate provided to dailykos by person xxx of the Obama campaign")

 

There is no provenance explaining where the "birth certificate" came from.  In Hawaii, birth certificates aren’t publicly available and reporters’ requests for one have been ignored for months.

 

There is no explanation as to whom vouches for its origins or its authenticity.

 

The certificate number is blacked out.  Why?

 

There are image artifacts consistent with forgeries and image processing.  It’s not a real, unprocessed scan of a birth certificate. 

It’s not certified.  Hawaii state code provides that certificates issued by the department of health be certified:

 

"§338-13 Certified copies.  (a) Subject to the requirements of sections 338-16, 338-17, and 338-18, the department of health shall, upon request, furnish to any applicant a certified copy of any certificate, or the contents of any certificate, or any part thereof.  (b) Copies of the contents of any certificate on file in the department, certified by the department shall be considered for all purposes the same as the original,..."

 

This certificate is what the Hawaii DOH calls a "Late" Certificate of Birth, and it is not an original Birth Certificate for a birth recorded near the date of actual birth.  In Hawaii, anyone can claim they were born there and submit the evidence years after the birth to obtain a late "Certificate of Birth".

 

http://hawaii.gov/...

 

"Who is Eligible to Apply for Late Registration?  As provided by law (HRS §§338-15, 338-29.5), the following persons may apply for late registration: Any person born in Hawaii who is one year old or older and whose birth has not been previously registered in Hawaii, or that person’s parent, guardian, next of kin, or older person acting for that person and having knowledge of the facts of birth may request the registration of a late certificate of birth.

 

Doe the Obama campaign have a statement on this uncertified "birth certificate?"

 

Isn’t this Obama’s "birth certificate" issue getting to be kind of strange by now?

 

How can a man run for President without disclosing his birth certificate?

 

Why does an anonymous, no-provenance, obviously fake scan of an uncertified birth certificate appear on DailyKos, a fanatically pro-Obama blog?

 

Why won’t the Obamas or the Obama campaign just formally and transparently release a certified copy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate?

COLB Well, here's proof that Obamas "Certification of Live Birth" means nothing.

Amended certifications of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country.

This is straight from the Hawaii Department Of Health Website.

In other words, the "Certification of Live Birth" posted on Obama's website, Factcheck.org and the Daily KOS doesn't prove anything, simply because someone born in a foreign country could file for an amended certification -- click the link, read it for yourself.

A Certification of Live Birth is not a Birth Certificate.  Obama's sister Maya was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, but Anna Dunham registered her as "born in Honolulu" shortly after her birth.  Maya has a State of Hawaii Certification of Live Birth, just like Obama -- proves nothing.
The Law Laws of the Territory of Hawaii ACT 96 To Provide For The Issuance Of Certificates Of Hawaiian Birth was in effect from 1911 until 1972 and allowed someone who was born outside the Hawaiian Islands to be registered as though he were born in Hawaii.

Under that law, someone simply would have presented herself to the Hawaiian authorities and declared that the child was born in Hawaii.   The person could have sworn under oath and presented witnesses and other evidence.  If the authorities accepted it, that was the end of it.
Hawaii
Is
Loose
The Hawaiian "birth certificate" program.

The Dept. of Hawaiian Homelands does NOT accept the "Certification of Live Birth" as documentation.  This is the same document that Obama is showing the world as proof of his Hawaiian birth and American "natural born citizen" status.

If you submit the "Certification of Live Birth" to the DHHL, they will make phone calls and written inquiries (to have a paper trail) to the office of Vital Statistics, to confirm information that WOULD BE on the "Birth Certificate," that is NOT present on the "Certification of Live Birth."

The DHHL, being a Hawaii state agency, KNOWS the loopholes built into the Hawaiian "birth certificate" system. Many of the laws Hawaii has hearken back to BEFORE the Hawaiian Organic Act, BEFORE Hawaii was a territory, BEFORE King Kalakaua ruled...

IN FACT, the court that Ann Dunham filed for her FIRST divorce through in 1964 was done through a Hawaiian court, the "Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit" that I've traced back to the 1860s.  That court is defunct today.  The judge is in his 90s and retired from the Hawaiian court system.  There are many antiquated procedures and laws still on the books that are mired in the annuls of Hawaiian history.

As an island nation, Hawaii has had procedures in place to allow for "stragglers" who were born on other islands, or in other countries (Guam is similar, BTW).  Such is the "loophole" Sun Yat-sen exploited, Chinese revolutionary and political leader often referred to as the "Father of Modern China."  He was able to file a "Certificate of Hawaiian Birth" application and immigrate to the US in 1904 using the form. Yat-sen was born in Guangdong province, China, in 1866.  His "Certificate of Hawaiian Birth" was issued based on Sun's typewritten testimony rather than on any documentation from witnesses.  The "Certificate of Hawaiian Birth" for WAS STILL ISSUED UP UNTIL 1972; BHO was born in 1961.

SO, let's see, how could a person like Ann Dunham (and later BHO when he was an adult) exploit Hawaiian "birth certificate" law?
 
 file for a "Certificate of Hawaiian Birth", using affidavits from herself and her mother saying he was born in Hawaii ...

 convert the "Certificate of Hawaiian Birth" to a "Certificate of Late Birth" as state law allows...

 convert the "Certificate of Late Birth" to a "Certificate of Live Birth," with comments in Block 23, "Evidence for Delayed Filing or Alteration"...

 and then BHO uses the "Certification of Live Birth," which was created and first used in Nov 2001, to hide any prior alterations or modifications!

Did it happen THAT way?  It's anyone's guess.  BUT because the Hawaiian "birth certificate" program is SO freakin' loose, it's quite possible, with other variations possible as well.

ADD TO THAT that Obama's "Certification of Live Birth" states in the bottom lefthand corner: "Date FILED by Registrar" vs. "Date ACCEPTED by State Registrar," there's plenty of reason to be suspicious.
Hawaii's Multiple Birth Certificates Generally, folks don't know that Hawaii law, even in 1961, provided for several types of birth records, most of which are not what people think of when they think of birth certificates.  The following is a description of those, including certificates for people not born in Hawaii.

1. In the State of Hawaii, back in 1961, there were three different birth certificates that were obtainable:

   a. If the birth was attended by a physician or mid wife, the attending medical professional was required to certify to the Department of Health the facts of the birth date, location, parents’ identities and other information.  (See Section 57-8 & 9 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961).

   b. In 1961, if a person was born in Hawaii but not attended by a physician or mid wife, then, up to the first birthday of the child, an adult could, upon testimony, file a "Delayed Certificate," that required endorsement on the Delayed Certificate of a summary statement of the evidence submitted in support of the acceptance for delayed filing, which evidence must be kept in a special permanent file.  The statute provided that the probative value of the Delayed Certificate must be determined by the judicial or administrative body or official before whom the certificate is offered as evidence.  (See Section 57-18, 19 & 20 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961).

   c. If a child born in Hawaii, for whom no physician or mid wife filed a certificate of live birth, and for whom no Delayed Certificate was filed before the first birthday, then a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth could be issued upon testimony of an adult including the subject person) if the Lieutenant Governor was satisfied that a person was born in Hawaii, provided that the person had attained the age of one year.  (See Section 57-40 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961).

2. In 1982, the vital records law was amended to create a fourth kind of birth certificate for children born outside of the Territory or State of Hawaii.  HRS Chapter 338 was amended to add a new section authorizing the Director of the Department of Health to issue a birth certificate for a person NOT born in Hawaii either as a Territory or State, upon sufficient proof that the legal parents of such individual had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth of such child.

3. The language of the statute clearly applies to births in the days of the Territory of Hawaii, so also births in 1961.

4. A press release concerning numerous questions raised across the country as to whether or not Obama was a natural born citizen was issued on October 31, 2008 by the Hawaii Department of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino.
 
5. In that very carefully worded press release, Dr. Fukino said that she had "personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."
 
6. The intentional ambiguity of that statement raises more questions that it answered.

7. That statement failed to resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation across the country over the issue of Obama’s birth and qualifications for the office of the President of the United States, including:
 
   a. The specific type of certificate was not identified.  Could it be the certificate for someone born outside of the State of Hawaii?

   b. Being "on record" could mean either that its contents are in the computer database of the department or an actual "vault" original.  If the latter, those are the words used to describe what is there.  The data base record could have been entered based on a birth record for someone born outside of Hawaii.

   c. Therefore, the value as prima facie evidence is limited and easily overcome if any of the allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained and verified with a Court Order.

8. It should also be noted that in the face of all this litigation, the simple presentation of Obama’s vault birth records would put the questions to rest.

9. Obama has not taken this approach to a single one of the cases, but instead has hired legal counsel across the country at no small expense, much of it illegally from his campaign, to defend the claims with motions to dismiss on standing and similar procedural grounds.

10. Such response to the request for proof that he is qualified to serve as President of the United States of America only serves to raise more questions about this election.
COLBs For
Anybody
Click the thumbnail to see a large copy of this beautifully printed Certificate of Hawaiian Birth.

 

It belongs to Sun Yat-Sen, the Father of Modern China, who was born in China.

This Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, dated March 14, 1904, was issued after Dr. Sun signed a raggedy type-written statement affirming that he was born in Hawaii on Nov. 24, 1870.

Sun Yat-sen was born on November 12, 1866, to a peasant family in the village of Cuiheng, Xiangshan county , Guangzhou prefecture, Guangdong province (26 km or 16 miles north of Macau), not Hawaii, as this document affirms.

We know Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's sister has a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth too, and she was born in Jakarta, Indonesia.  You can be born anywhere and get one.

Anna Dunham may not have been America's #1 booster, but, gypsy that she was, she made sure her kids were well-anchored in the good ole USA.
The
Born
Conspiracy
Dr. Ron Polarik's final report is the culmination of over four months of intensive, empirical research, the sole purpose of which has been to determine if the images and photographs posted on the Internet are true reproductions of a genuine document purported to be Obama's original birth certificate.

In his report, Dr. Polarik, who holds a Ph.D. in Instructional Media and specializes in computer graphics with over 20 years experience with computers, printers and typewriters, provides conclusive and irrefutable evidence that the Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) image created and distributed by Obama's campaign to the Daily Kos, Annenberg's Factcheck, and the St. Petersburg Times, and Politifact, is, unquestionably, a false identification document.

Furthermore, there is conclusive and irrefutable evidence that the photos taken by Annenberg's Factcheck, in collusion with the Obama campaign, are themselves, false identification documents, having been made from the same false identification document image, as well as from additional false identification documents created for the same purpose; namely, to proffer these false identification documents as true reproductions of a genuine, Hawaii-issued and certified, "Certification of Live Birth" document, and thereby, intentionally deceive the American public into believing that Barack Hussein Obama is a natural-born citizen[NaturalBornCitizen.htm - MISSING] of the United States, and thereby, fully qualified to become their President.

Sadly, mainstream media have totally ignored this inconvenient truth and are not even been willing to even look at this birth certificate issue.  They are all still in-the-tank for Obama, but even more so now that he is in line to be President.  They all bought into the lies and fraudulent documents proffered up as evidence on Obama's qualifications.  They have been too quick to label as "trash" or "garbage" any legitimate questions asked about Obama's real birth certificate.  Even high-ranking governmental officials in the state of Hawaii where Obama was allegedly born, won't reveal what's on Obama's original birth certificate.  All they have said is that they have it.  They have not said (1) where Obama was born, (2) when Obama was born, or (3) even to whom Obama was born.

The answer to "What's on Barack Obama's real, original birth certificate" ranks right up there with some of the great mysteries of our time -- and that is really hard to swallow.  That a man, with a dubious background, has been elected to the highest office of the greatest superpower in the world without ever having to prove who he says he is!  That is not "nutty," that's just plain insane!

With all that said, and without further ado, I present to you my final and complete report on Barack Obama's bogus birth certificate, The Born Conspiracy. (video)

Dr. Polariks' Final Report
It's Bogus A second expert forensic document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines has filed an affidavit [.pdf] associated with one of the lawsuits stating the following:

1.  I am Sandra Ramsey Lines, With an address at...  I am a former federal examiner and law enforcement officer.  I began training as a forensic document examiner in 1991.  I am a Certified Diplomat of Forensic Sciences, a member of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners, a member of the Southwestern Association of Forensic Document Examiners, and a member of the Questioned Document Subcommittee of the American Society of Testing and Materials.  My background and credentials are set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto.

2.  I have reviewed the attached affidavit [.pdf] posted on the internet from "Ron Polarik," who has declined to provide his name because of a number of death threats he has received.  After my review and based on my years of experience, I can state with certainty that the COLB presented on the internet by the various groups, which include the "Daily Kos," the Obama Campaign, "Factcheck.org" and others cannot be relied upon as genuine.  Mr. Polarik raises issues concerning the COLB that I can affirm.  Software such as Adobe Photoshop can produce complete images or alter images that appear to be genuine; therefore, any image offered on the internet cannot be relied upon as being a copy of the authentic document.

3. Upon a cursory inspection of the internet COLB, one aspect of the image that is clearly questionable is the obliteration of the Certificate No.  That number is a tracking number that would allow anyone to ask the question, "Does this number refer to the Certification of Live Birth for the child Barack Hussein Obama II?"  It would not reveal any further personal information; therefore, there would be no justifiable reason for obliterating it.

4. In my experience as a forensic document examiner, if an original of any document exists, that is the document that must be examined to obtain a definitive finding of genuineness or non-genuineness.  In this case, examination of the vault birth certificate for President-Elect Obama would lay this issue to rest once and for all.

What
Hawaii
Really
Said
Countless politicians, reporters, bloggers and even a few judges have claimed that the State of Hawaii have ascertained that Obama's birth certificate is on file and it proves he was born in Hawaii.

Here is the official State of Hawaii comment from state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino:

"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

There is nothing in that statement that states the birth certificate Hawaii holds was issued by Hawaii; there is nothing there that states the State of Hawaii holds Obama’s "Hawaii birth certificate."

It is very obvious, in reading the statement of the Director of Health, that this statement was very carefully worded, which leaves the inquiring mind asking, why?

When DOH Director Chiyome Fukino announced to the press, on October 31, 2008, that "Hawaii has Obama’s original birth certificate on record," this should have been the time for Hawaii to also confirm the existence of the COLB posted online, since that is what prompted hundreds of phone calls to Ukubo and company in the first place.  The fact that she didn't only reinforces the fact that his COLB does not exist.

If the birth information on that COLB matched the birth information in his birth record, then why not say so?  It would have stopped them from being bombarded with phone calls, and may have ended the quest for his long-form birth certificate.

Conversely, if the birth information on that COLB did not match the info on his birth record, then they would be dancing around the issue and dodging all questions about it -- which is exactly what they did.
No
One
Confirmed
It
In a phone call to Dr. Alvin Onaka, the Hawaii State Registrar and Head of the Office of Health Status Monitoring (OSHM), of which Vital Records is a part.  Dr. Ron Polarik posed as a writer doing geneology research, knowing that if he portrayed himyself as yet another investigator seeking information on Obama's birth records, that he would be immediately shot down. Strictly speaking, he was collecting vital record information on Obama's heritage, after all.

He proceeded to ask Dr. Onaka questions about the COLB that only he, or a manager in Vital Records, would know.  These are questions that Communications Officer, Janice Okubo does not know or anyone else not connected with Vital Records.  Polarik did this as a way to corroborate his conversation with Onaka.

Polarik asked Dr. Onaka if the COLBs are stamped using a machine or by hand.  He said, "Both."  Hawaii uses a machine that applies the Seal and stamps electronically and simultaneously.  That's why they appear to be placed in the same position, from year to year -- except in years where the large Seal design is used.  He said that they use a desktop Seal embosser, similar to what notaries use, but much longer, so as to place the Seal higher up on the paper.

Polarik then asked him, "Why is the border on 2007 COLB different from the 2008 COLB, why is the Seal larger, and why is your signature stamp located off to the side instead of directly under the Seal?  He told Polarik that they alternate the Seal design and border design, and when the Seal (the larger one) doesn't leave enough room to place the signature stamp below it, it's put off to the side.  Evidently, this larger Seal is what is applied by hand, as in every case where it has been used, the Seal impression appears in a different spot on the paper.

Then, Polarik slipped in the the following question.  He asked him if Janice Okubo had confirmed that his office produced a 2007 Certification of Live Birth, date-stamped June 6, 2007, with Obama's birth information on it, and he quickly replied:

"Absolutely not.  No one in our office confirmed it."

That promptly ended the conversation as Dr. Onaka was not going to respond to any more questions from Polarik.  Since then, Hawaii has not answered anymore questions about Obama's birth record from anyone.
Imprimatur "This has gotten ridiculous," state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday.  "There are plenty of other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy."  So, in what likely will be a vain attempt to halt the inquiries, Fukino yesterday issued a statement saying that she and the registrar of vital statistics personally inspected Obama’s birth certificate and found it to be valid.  Will this be enough to quiet the doubters?  "I hope so," Fukino said.  "We need to get some work done."  Fukino issued her statement to try to stomp out persistent rumors that Obama was not born in Honolulu -- and is therefore not a U.S. citizen and thus ineligible to run for president.

The document Fukino and Okubo inspected was an email from PolitiFact of the BC Barry posted on the web in June.  From PolitiFact look at what the conclusion actually was when she was pressed, hardly a verification of the validity of the document:

The Hawaii Department of Health receives about a dozen e-mail inquiries a day about Obama’s COLB, spokesman Okubo said.  "I guess the big issue that’s being raised is the lack of an embossed seal and a signature," Okubo said, pointing out that in Hawaii, both those things are on the back of the document.  "Because they scanned the front … you wouldn’t see those things."  Okubo says she got a copy of her own birth certificate last year and it is identical to the Obama one we received.  And about the copy we e-mailed her for verification?  "When we looked at that image you guys sent us, our registrar, he thought he could see pieces of the embossed image through it."  Still, she acknowledges: "I don’t know that it’s possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents."

Well, if Dr. Fukino says so, it must be so?  But Hawaiian officials never said Obama was born in Hawaii.

Another thing, always watch the language.  The Obots always use the term "birth certificate" when referring to Obama's COLB.  A COLB is NOT a birth certificate.
It Is A
Fake
People say that Obama released a genuine copy of his actual Birth Certificate.

•  He never did, and they are mistaken, misinformed, or misleading others if they do.

People say that Obama released a genuine copy of his actual Certification of Live Birth.

•  He never did, and they are mistaken, misinformed, or misleading others if they do.

People say that Hawaii confirmed this copy to be Obama's actual Certification of Live Birth.


•  Hawaii never confirmed a request for, nor the printing of, this Certification of Live Birth.

People say that Factcheck verified this image as Obama's actual Certification of Live Birth, while incorrectly referring to it as a "birth certificate."

•  Factcheck was complicit in falsifying this image and passing it off as a genuine scan.

Obama also knows that this image is fake and doesn't contain his actual birth information.

•  That's why Obama and his staff refuse to answer any questions about his birth certificate, while ridiculing anyone that dares ask.
Obama
Stonewalls
It's been more than two years since Obama announced his candidacy for President, and five months since he was elected President, yet Obama has repeatedly refused to provide any proof that he is Constitutionally qualified to be president.  Despite what you may have heard, Obama's eligibility issue has never been settled.  If you are looking for reasons why, there is only one reason that you should know:

Barack Hussein Obama flat-out refuses to show the one document that would confirm or deny his true identity, parentage, and birth origin -- his original, "vault" birth certificate.

In March 2008, a lawsuit was filed to remove John McCain, the GOP candidate, from the ballot because his natural-born status was also in doubt.  John McCain immediately responded by showing his actual, original birth certificate to Congress.

On June 12, 2008, about three months after John McCain settled his eligibility issue, the pressure on Obama to do the same led to the release of what was called his "original birth certificate" -- an image copy, not a paper copy, by his campaign, not by himself, to the Daily Kos blog, not to Congress, or to anyone even remotely responsible for vetting him.

Moreover, what Obama submitted for "release," was not an image copy of his original birth certificate as claimed.  It was an abbreviated transcript of a birth record called a "Certification of Live Birth."  HOWEVER, the image itself was a fabricated forgery intended to mimic this transcript.  Since a forged birth document cannot represent a true birth record, it means that someone committed forgery just to keep Obama's actual birth record from ever being known.
What Is The Evidence Of A Forgery Many people who also saw this image (see Appendix A) had said that it was a "fake," and that the document pictured in the image could not possibly be genuine.  The image anomalies that they pointed out as proof of a forgery included those that I had found and reported, working independently.  Here is an annotated list of them:

1. The image contains digital signatures of Photoshop

2. Only one side of alleged COLB shown (COLB is two-sided)

3. Missing second-fold line while first fold-line is shown

4. Missing the embossed Seal of Hawaii

5. Missing the State Registrar's signature

6. Unusual and unnatural pixilation between the letters of text data

7. Original text was removed by pasting a layer of background over them

8. Different text was typed onto a text layer and merged with background layer

9. Pixel blocks of text data are different from the data headers

10. Heavy and unnecessary sharpening of the whole image, except for the border

11. Border was created as a separate layer and merged with other layers

12. Border pattern is more blurred than the background

13. Border pattern more transparent than those on genuine scans

14. Top and bottom black border bars have less pixilation than text

15. Border bars are more black in color than any of the text

16. Absence of green, background pixels inside the border bar text

17. White lines between border bars and pattern (both sides)

18. Image colors are very different from scan images of real COLBs

19. Lack of pixilation in black rectangle covering certificate number

20. Different blocking artifacts from JPG compression found across the image
It's Invalid In Dr. Ron Polarik's final report, "Obama's Born Conspiracy," these anomalies are explained in greater detail.

The consensus among all of us was that this Certification of Live Birth document image (COLB) had been heavily doctored.  What we didn't know were the lengths to which the Obama Campaign and his enablers in the media went to rebuff any claims of forgery by personally attacking anyone for even suggesting it.  They called us "tin-foil hat wearing, right-wing conspiracy nuts," or "birthers" for short, but these titles are tame in comparison to the vicious and virulent slurs hurled our way.  Rather than respond with some confirmatory evidence to support the claim that the scan image was genuine, they offered all kinds of logical excuses as to why it wouldn't be fake, coupled with comments from individuals and fact-checking groups claiming to be non-partisan but clearly shilling for Obama.  The common denominator here is that all of them failed to provide a single shred of valid evidence that Obama's actual COLB document was even printed in June 2007 by Hawaii's DOH, let alone scanned a year later.

One thing that no one could deny was that a black, graphic rectangle was added to the image to redact the COLB's certificate number, and then resaved, permanently altering the COLB shown in the image, and in effect, changing the image itself.  The following caveat appears on the COLB document:

ANY ALTERATIONS INVALIDATE THIS CERTIFICATE

In other words, "Which part of this caveat did the "birther" critics NOT understand?
What's Wrong With This Picture There were enough alterations in this one image to fill a book on "How to falsify an image and hide the signs of forgery."  Nothing about this image was genuine, yet, five weeks later, Factcheck posted a set of nine digital photos of what they claim was the same, alleged birth certificate used to make the scan image.

What's wrong with this picture? (or should I say, "pictures?")

If what's shown in the scan image is bogus, then what's shown in Factcheck's photos must also be bogus.  We already knew that Factcheck was a shill for Obama along with being an accomplice to his document fraud.  So, we were not surprised when Factcheck launched an all-out assault on the "birthers" and their "right-wing conspiracy theories" along with the photos they posted on their website.  Factcheck's COLB photos allegedly show the front side of the embossed Seal that was not shown in the scan image (except while under image enhancements).  These COLB photos also show the second fold-line that never was seen in the scan image under any conditions.

Factcheck intended their photos to verify the existence of a real COLB document that the claim was used to make the scan image.  Unfortunately for Factcheck, their photos actually verify that their scan image was bogus.  For if this document object, with its pronounced second fold-line and heavily embossed Seal, was used to make the original scan image, then the scanner would never have missed copying these prominent features.  Added to that revelation is the suspicious failure of Factcheck to photograph the most important part of the document, the entire embossed Seal as seen from both sides.  Factcheck's photos taken from the back side of the Seal show that the top third of the Seal was deliberately cropped from the picture.  Even in the full shot of the Seal, the top one-third of it was also cut off -- well below the second fold line.

Rather than lend credibility to the original scan image, these photos supported Polarik's conclusions that the scan image was not made from a genuine document, but was fabricated from other images.  A top, forensic document examiner also agrees with my conclusions.  The fact that Obama's original birth certificate is not the only document being withheld from view, only underscores the immense effort taken to keep Obama's real identity from ever being known.

If the Obama narrative is real, and Obama really is who he says he is, then why are there no real documents to verify it, such as his Punahou School records, Selective Service Registration, Occidental College records, Passport (used to visit Pakistan), Columbia College records, Columbia thesis, Harvard College records, Baptism certificate, Medical records, Illinois State Senate records, Law License application, Law practice client list, and University of Chicago scholarly articles?
Does Anyone See A Pattern Here From the first day he ran for the Office of the President of the United States, Barack Obama, a constitutional lawyer, knew that he was not a natural-born citizen and not constitutionally qualified to become president.  But, he ran anyway.  Obama may also have known that he was not born in Hawaii, that he came to Hawaii as an illegal immigrant, and that he was never naturalized as a US citizen.

Does that sound like a viable MOTIVE for not showing his original birth certificate?

If all of the information shown on the scan image were true, then there would not be any reason to hide the original.  If all of the information shown on Factcheck's photos were true, then there would not be any reason to hide the original.  If all of the information we've seen is actually true, then why fabricate bogus birth certificates when a real one can be made for $12?  What is worth committing felony document fraud just to keep it hidden?

Well, it's a lot more than that.  This bogus birth certificate was used to deceive over 300 million Americans in regards to Obama's true identity and birth origins.  This bogus birth certificate was used to deceive members of our government, our judiciary, our armed forces, and law enforcement into believing that Obama was born in Hawaii, and that he is a natural-born US citizen who is constitutionally qualified to become president.

Obtaining a real birth certificate copy is the very last thing that Obama would ever do, then or now, because it would absolutely confirm that the images and photos posted on the Internet are forgeries and would expose anyone involved in this fraud to criminal prosecution.  Does that sound like a viable MOTIVE for not showing it?

There is no question that Obama fails to meet the constitutional qualifications for being a natural-born citizen because his father passed his British citizenship onto Obama as a child and made him a dual citizen.  But, what about the question of document fraud?  Has a crime been committed?  Who's responsible?  What if a president was complicit in committing this document fraud and intentionally covering it up by all legal means possible?

Conspiracies in presidential elections do happen.  Does "Watergate" ring a bell?

Recently, another Illinois politician was impeached for selling Obama's Senate seat.  It that act really worse than committing felony document fraud, as defined by Chapter 18 of the United States Code, Section 1028, Fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents, authentication features, and information?.

As people are wont to say at times like this, "Where is the outrage?"  Where, indeed.
Other
Opinions
At the same time that Dr. Polarik saw Obama's alleged COLB, a discussion of that image was taking place among the registered readers of a popular blog (HotAir.com) that is a repository of top stories from other blogs and websites.  I had not seen these comments until now, ten months after they were published.  Although the Hot Air community is mostly pro-Obama, a number of members had identified the very same anomalies as I had while working independently.  The significance of this discovery cannot be overstated as it serves to validate the work that I've done in proving this image, and ones to follow, to be false, forged, and fabricated.  Here, in their own words, is what they said on June 12:

From JM Hanes:

it really bothers me when something like this simply makes no sense.  I couldn't begin to guess who would have fiddled with the document -- or the when & why either -- but I also can't think of a single logical reason (including filters, sharpening, or conversions) that a scan of an original document could result in the kind of selective pixelization/artifacting in evidence here.  Pasting from one image into another, however, would produce precisely that effect.
 
"The pixilation around the text is...completely inconsistent with the background, which is discontinuous behind the text.  Zoom in on the faint image of the reverse "JUN 6 2007" in the lower middle of the document for comparison and you’ll see that the regular jpeg pixel blocking is uninterrupted.  That’s part of whatever this original document was before someone Photoshopped it.  The SEAL was probably scanned from another actual document and pasted up along with the necessary text.  Nice try with the "Photoshop filter" theory though! I n any case, if someone were trying to make a real document look as fake as this one does, that would still be a hoax.

From Spolitics:

The document looks fake, like the text was layered over the background, not typed onto it.  So I downloaded the picture and checked the properties.  According to the file’s details, this document was originated in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh.  That’s not proof of forgery, but there’s no "date acquired" listed, which would have indicated this was scanned.

From LimeyGeek:

Zoom in on the lettering and check out the artefacts surrounding them.  I suspect this is a modern document, scanned, original data scrubbed, and overlaid with digital text.  Problem is, then not all the text would match stylistically, so they had to go over every bit of text with new lettering.  Contrast the artifacts surrounding the text on this document with the text in the top and bottom bars -- that’s original text.  The text in the body of the document has been doctored.  Obama is not claiming it as a legitimate copy.  I suspect it is somebody’s legitimate copy, scanned, scrubbed and doctored to look like Obama’s.

As somebody that works with the math and code in such software, I can tell you that these artifacts are nothing of the sort.  This is not a case of lousy artifacts due to image encoding (jpeg).  Such artifacts would be consistent, these are not.  In fact, if you look close enough, you can see that the original lettering was slightly larger than the superimposed fonts.

The point is that an original document would have consistent artifacts due to scanning, and additional consistent artifacts due to further encoding (in this case, jpeg encoding/compression).  Whatever the origin of this document, it has been doctored.

From RightWired:

It’s a 100% forgery.  There are numerous reasons, but the #1 reason: Laser printers don’t add anti-aliasing to fonts.  Zoom in to 600% or greater in Photoshop or Corel.  Look at an "A".  Notice how it’s smoothed a bit?  You can see that the characters have been laid on top of the green government background.  There’s a hazy white area in between the strokes of each line of the character.  When a laser printer prints on the paper, it basically burns it on with a super high precision.  It doesn’t turn the area behind the actually copy white.

I work in advertising.  I have studied this...as well as our department’s graphic artist -- it’s fraudulent.  Also file properties say Adobe CS3, black copy is much darker than the rest.  The official seal is blurry and pixilated.

From Just A Grunt:

Blending high contrast type into a lower contrast background is particularly fussy work; it looks to me like the original text and original background started out at different resolutions as well.  While text that bleeds through from the other side of a document would look different from the crisp text printed on the front, it wouldn’t change how the pixels in the image itself are grouped.  The integrity of the typical 8 x 8 pixel squares which you can see in the 6 shot aren’t busted up by artifacts the way they are in the A shot.  I may not be using the right techno terms here -- alas, it’s easier to zero in on the anomalies when you’re used to dealing with recalcitrant pixels than it is to explain.

From WoosterOh:

I find it odd that every word is pixilated around it, yet the black box is not.  Those words are not on the document.  To me, it looks like it is from some HA HA funny site that you can do your own certificates.  Select a background image, select text to put on the background image.  I guess that {the Certification of Live Birth is a computer-generated printout) could account for the pixels, but I am not even sure that accounts for it.  You would have to assume that the generation means taking a scan of an actual certification, using it as an image, then generating text over that scan, then converting the text to an image, then laying that image down over the scanned certificate.  Take the layers and flatten the image, then print the image. FAKE

From G Charles:

A word of caution -- I use Photoshop a fair amount and I just zoomed in on the text.  I agree that this is not a scan of an original document "AS IS".  Nevertheless, it could well be a scan of an original document that has been run through a Photoshop filter once or twice.  And the original may well look pretty much the same to those who can’t zoom in on the photo.  And as support for my "Photoshop filter" theory, the seal carries the same pixilation artifacts.  Therefore it is NOT simply text that has been superimposed -- whatever explanation there is has to account for the seal and text having the same unnatural pixilation.

From iurockhead:

Enlarge and the text looks like it has been added on top of the green and white background.  I call fake.  I don’t doubt his citizenship and birthright, but that document is a fake.

From wise_man:

And the black text on this wide open field of the background, is awfully sharp and crisp for being a copy.

From SilverStar830:

Looks "chopped."  It looks like an exceptionally EASY document to fake.

From Buford:

When blown up it is clearly a fake.  At 2000% it is clear that the pixilation of the text is much finer than the pixilation of the background.  It is an extremely low quality fake.  If this served any purpose but to drive traffic to the Kos site I would be surprised.

From infidel65:

After repeated requests for Obama’s birth certificate, a copy shows up on the Daily Kos.  This stinks to high heaven.  The Obama campaign may have thought they’d put this issue to bed, but they have only succeeded in fuelling the suspicions.
Confused? Does this Barack Obama birth certificate issue bug you because, although improbable, it's possible that he's not a natural born citizen, isn't eligible to be President under the Constitution, and this issue could be bigger than Watergate -- or any other "gate" in history?

Are you afraid that if you were even to raise the subject with your friends that they will think you wear a tinfoil hat, because Factcheck.org, the final arbiter of truth in the universe, said so?

Are you with the news media, and after spending so much money to get Barack Obama elected, you'd hate to ruin your investment?

Are you a talk radio host who thinks that if you say the burden of proof needed to demonstrate one is eligible to be Commander in Chief should be at least as high as, oh, say, the level to be eligible for Hawaiian homestead status (see 1.F. below), that you'd be forced to give equal time to someone who disagrees?

Are you a conservative, libertarian, or any conscientious constitutionalist from any ideological side of life, who's convinced something's not right, but you're afraid your reputation might be tarnished because, after all, this could be one big Saul-Alinsky-style set-up, and the joke would be on you?

Fear not!  Joe the Farmer has prepared an outline showing that no matter how this issue is ultimately resolved, you have legitimate concerns, and that Barack Obama should, simply out of respect for the nation he was elected to lead, disclose the sealed vault copy of his birth certificate.

Given the circumstances, if Barack Obama respected this nation, he would prove it by the simplest and easiest of gestures - unless, of course, all this talk about change and hope was just a bunch of bull, and he's just "another politician."

Here's the outline:
Now What To date, the suspicions have not subsided, yet people are talking about Obama's Certification of Live Birth (COLB) as if it really exists.

Why?  Because they know that foreign-born children are also issued a COLB by Hawaii, and therefore, the COLB cannot confirm one's natural-born status.  Only the actual, "vault" original birth certificate can, and Obama knows that better than anyone.  What other reason could there be for the occupant of the Oval Office to refuse such a simple request?

Because, it is not a "simple request," but a bombshell that blows Obama's entire claim to the presidency right out of the water.

Now that you see the big picture, what are you going to do about it?
A Forged Long-Form Birth Certificate DC sources say that an Administration team is working on perfecting a forgery of the long-form birth certificate.  They plan on presenting it in a a month or so.  The source is an FBI agent who has drinking buddy from University of Illinois now in the Administration.  It's second hand, but the source is supposed to be solid.

They have already prepared the forgery with special paper and ink.  The document was printed on a fully functional 1960 Heidelberger printing press located at a print museum in Toronto.  Access was arranged by a trustee of the museum who is connected to a large Canadian banking/investment firm with major US interests.

The blanks in the forged form were filled in with an old Underwood Manual typewriter bought at an estate sale in Skokie, IL.  The raised seal was the easiest piece to fake, since you can by a special order corporate seal from just about any online office supply store.

The only reason they haven't rolled out the forgery yet is that it is "seasoning" under mild UV light and a back and forth rotation between between a humidifier and a sauna.  Get ready....one to two months tops.

I personally don't put a lot of stock into this report.  I have included it here in the off-chance that a couple of months down the road Obama suddenly releases his long-form birth certificate after his long and expensive battle to keep it from the American People.  If that happens, this report will immediately gain a great deal of credibility.
The Billboard

Donations are being accepted for a national billboard campaign with this simple message.
 
Finally Somebody finally asked Barack Obama's White House press secretary about the president's elusive birth certificate.

When asked by WorldNetDaily.com White House correspondent Les Kinsolving why Obama, who has pledged transparency in his administration, would not release his long-form birth certificate to establish his constitutional eligibility for office, spokesman Robert Gibbels, employing Alinsky's Rule 5, guffawed in unison with members of the Washington press corps, about the concerns of 400,000 petitioners who have demanded it.  Here is the video.

"Are you looking for the president's birth certificate?" Gibbels asked incredulously.  "Lester, this question in many ways continues to astound me.  The state of Hawaii provided a copy with the seal of the president's birth.  I know there are apparently at least 400,000 people -- (laughter) -- that continue to doubt the existence of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of the president's birth there, but it's on the Internet because we put it on the Internet for each of those 400,000 to download.  I certainly hope by the fourth year of our administration that we'll have dealt with this burgeoning birth controversy."

It was the first time any member of the press corps has publicly asked a member of the administration a question directly related to Obama's constitutional eligibility for office as a "natural born citizen."

Gibbels continues the lie that Obama released his birth certificate.  It's a damnable lie.  Obama has never released his birth certificate and Gibbels and the rest of the White House staff knows it.

There are actually 3 lies in Gibbels statement:

1. The State of Hawaii has never provided a copy of Obama's birth certificate -- with or without a state seal -- never.

2. The State of Hawaii has never certified Obama was born in Hawaii -- never.

3. There has never been an Obama birth certificate on the Internet -- never.

Now you know why I refer to Gibbs as Gibbels.  He's Obama's propagandist.

Go here for the background on Obama's bogus birth records, and here for the law behind the eligibility question.
Hawaii Changes The Rules According to the Hawaii Star-Bulletin, the State of Hawaii, Department of Health no longer issues copies of paper birth certificates as was done in the past, said spokeswoman Janice Okubo.

The department only issues "certifications" of live births, and that is the "official birth certificate" issued by the state of Hawaii, she said.

And, it's only available in electronic form.

Okubo explained that the Health Department went paperless in 2001.

"At that time, all information for births from 1908 (on) was put into electronic files for consistent reporting," she said.

Information about births is transferred electronically from hospitals to the department.

"The electronic record of the birth is what (the Health Department) now keeps on file in order to provide same-day certified copies at our help window for most requests," Okubo said.

Asked for more information about the short-form versus long-form birth documents, Okubo said the Health Department "does not have a short-form or long-form certificate."

"The birth certificate form has been modified over the years and decades to conform to national standards and models," she said.

Okubo also emphasized the certification form "contains all the information needed by all federal government agencies for transactions requiring a birth certificate."

She added that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized the state's current certification of live birth "as an official birth certificate meeting all federal and other requirements."

The issue of what constitutes an official Hawaii birth certificate received national attention during last year's presidential campaign.  Those who doubted Barack Obama's American citizenship called the copy of the Hawaii birth document posted on his campaign web site a fake.

Asked about that document, Okubo said, "This is the same certified copy everyone receives when they request a birth certificate."

Is Ms. Okubo trying to say that Hawaii no longer has a copy of Obama's original birth certificate on file? --  how convenient.

Is Ms. Okubo saying that the previous statement from Hawaii state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino is not true?


"Therefore, I, as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

Why does everyone in Hawaii have a different story?

Maybe Indiana Jones can find Obama's original birth certificate.  After all, he found the Ark of the Covenant.

Then They Won't
The Hawaiian certification of live birth (COLB) the Obama Campaign posted on the Internet as proof of his eligibility would not be accepted for eligibility for some Hawaiian state government programs.

The website of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, states clearly the COLB touted by the Obama campaign, White House press secretary Robert Gibbels and a host of other Obama defenders is not acceptable as a form of identification to qualify under this program.

From the DHHL website:

There are two categories of documents used in determining eligibility: primary and secondary.

Primary Documents

The primary documents used to show you are of age and a qualified native Hawaiian are:

A certified copy of Certificate of Birth;
A certified copy of Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, including testimonies; or
A certified copy of Certificate of Delayed Birth.
You will need the certified birth certificates for:

Yourself
Your biological father; and
Your biological mother
The state Department of Health, (DOH), Vital Records Section, records documents by island and district (geographically) and by the date of the event (chronologically).

If your biological parents' documents don't clearly prove that you have at least 50 percent Hawaiian ancestry, you will also need certified birth certificates for:

Your biological father's parents; and
Your biological mother's parents.

In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green.  This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout).   Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.


Hawaii Home Lands won't take it, but Obama insists it certifies him to be Commander-in-Chief.

Update:  This item was cut 'n' paste from the DHHL website.  Between 6/8/09 and 6/18/09 DHHL has scrubbed this site.  In the past 10 days they have changed the policy above.  They will now accept Certifications of Live Birth.  Click the link now.  Check it out.

A coincidence?  Suuuuuuuuure!  The Obots continue to scrub the Internet for the Obamamessiah.

I'm going to have to start caching everything.
Commonality Breaking News From Rush Limbaugh’s Radio Program!  Rush just said:

"...you know, a lot of people talk about Obama and his messianic complex.  He does have one thing in common with God.  Barack Obama has one thing in common with God.  Do you know what it is?  God does not have a birth certificate either."

 

 

Heh, heh, heh . . .
Happy
Anniversary
Dr. Ron Polarik reminds us that today, June 12th, 2009, marks the Anniversary of the Obama COLB Forgery.   Yes, a whole year has past since Obama committed felony document fraud and posted a false identification document on the Internet.

As battles go, the Obots and the liberal media and blogsphere launched a bigger assault in defense of this bogus birth certificate than the Battle of Stalingrad in WWII.

It was Factcheck.org and Politifact that mounted a full-court press against the upstart "Birthers," a name given to them by the liberal "Truthers" who conjured up more 9/11 conspiracies than Uncle Ben has rice.  When the liberal "Truthers," so-called for the "Truth Movement" they started, went viral on so many Leftist websites that there wasn’t enough Reynolds Wrap in the world to fashion hats for them all.

Now, the shoe -- or "tin foil hat" -- is on the other foot...er...head.

Like Ron says, "It’s the forgery, Stupid!"

Here is Polarik's final report -- the culmination of over four months of intensive, empirical research, the sole purpose of which has been to determine if the images and photographs posted on the Internet are true reproductions of a genuine document purported to be Obama's original birth certificate.
The Birth Certificate Question An Open Letter to Shephard Smith at FOX News -- Saturday, June 20, 2009 5:44:05 PM · 99 of 113

We have no proof of where Obama was born.  Anyone who claims that he was born in Hawaii is suffering from COLB  Derangement Syndrome.  Hawaii never confirmed that he was born in Hawaii, never confirmed that he has a Hawaiian long-form birth certificate or any other US birth certificate on file, or even if they have anything tangible beyond a computer record.

Most of all, Hawaii confirmed that they never released a copy of Obama’s COLB to anyone in June 2007.

Einstein could have called himself, "Humpty Dumpty," and hid his face, but that would not change the fact that he discovered E=mc².   Likewise, Obama’s 2007 COLB would be just as nonexistent as if I had never discovered that it was nonexistent.  But, it is a good thing that I did.

It's positively amazing the amount of effort that people have expended in defense of this piece of crap COLB image that the Poseur-in-Chief now admits to posting online.  There is only one reason why, after more than a year, that only one scan image of one side only has ever been made from what is alleged to be Obama’s 2007 COLB: it doesn't exist.  Obama’s 2007 COLB is a forged fake, fabricated in Photoshop, and nothing that anyone says or does can change that fact.

There is absolutely no reason, whatsoever, that the Obama Campaign would not make another, more detailed scan, including one of the reverse side of the COLB, and send that out to quiet critics.  No reason, EXCEPT that the document does not exist in the real world.  It only exists in the unreal, virtual world of Photoshopped fakes.

BTW, a digital photo is not the same thing as a scan image, and it most certainly cannot be used to validate a scan image.  Certainly not when the document object is photographed at a steep angles from the capture device (which were intentional).

Remember that Factcheck.org did not take a digital photo of the reverse side (all that Factcheck photographed was only 1/4 of the entire back page, and only 2/3 of the Seal).  Why was so little of the back page shown?  Because what was photographed belonged to a different COLB!!  Check it out for yourself: the Seal on the reverse side does not match the one on the front side.  It is one of several, new discoveries I've made after revisitng the Factcheck photographs.

A year later after the bogus scan image was posted, THAT is exactly what people are still talking about.  They are referring back to the original forged image on Fight the Smears and Factcheck.  They are quoting Factcheck -- the co-conspirator in this birth certficate scam -- as having "verified" the bogus "scan image."

Recall that Factcheck claimed they photographed the same object that the Obama Campaign scanned two months earlier.

They took these photos SOLELY IN DEFENSE of the scan image that they alleged to have "validated," and to fend off the widespread criticism of the COLB as a forged image.  However, they failed to "debunk" the critics.  This was all part of an elaborate ruse to create the illusion that Obama had released his genuine, certified original birth certificate to the public.

What is hard to believe are the people in high places who actually believe that this document exists, but of those, here is a segment who also discount it as being proof of where Obama was actually born.  COLBs are incredibly easy to get with little documentation required.  And, yes, it is a well-documented fact that Hawaii was giving COLBs to foreign-born children.

But the bottom line is that the original "scan image" is what people are still talking about today, and it is an indisputable fact that Obama, or anyone else, does not have a genuine 2007 COLB document.  What is posted online is as bogus as a four-dollar bill.

Obama ascended to the position of President by fraudulent means, including document fraud, Internet fraud, voter fraud, and campaign funding fraud, to name a few.  The only question at hand now is whether he will be removed by invalidating his election, or by the articles of impeachment.  If I were a Democratic Congressman, and I was going to be implicated in this fraud, I'd be calling for impeachment in a New York minute.

FReeper Ron Polarik, Ph D
Criminal Document Fraud The only thing I'll sign is a petition for Obama, Obama for America, and Factcheck to be charged with criminal document fraud and Internet fraud for creating and proffering a false identification document, aka the fabricated COLB image posted on Obama's website, among others, that Press Secretary Gibbs publicly admitted was put there by the aforementioned President of the United States and his Presidential Administration.

These said individuals and parties did willingly, and with malice aforethought, violate Chapter 18 of the United States Code, Section 1028, Fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents, authentication features, and information, by creating and preferring what they allege was Obama's actual, original birth certificate, but was, in fact, a false identification document as defined by statute below:

A "false identification document" is any document *or facsimile of a document) of a type intended or commonly accepted for the purposes of identification of individuals that -- (A) is not issued by or under the authority of a governmental entity or was issued under the authority of a governmental entity but was subsequently altered for purposes of deceit; and (B) appears to be issued by or under the authority of the United States Government, a State, a political subdivision of a State, a foreign government, a political subdivision of a foreign government, or an international governmental or quasi-governmental organization.

The Obama Administration, the Obama Campaign, aka Obama for America, Factcheck.org, and Barack Hussein Obama as the principle mastermind of this document fraud who directed the creation and distribution of a false identification document for himself, are hereby charged with the commission of felony document fraud, punishable by up to five (5) years in prison, and a maximum fine of $250,000 for each offense.

It is a statement of fact, and admission therewith, that the Obama Campaign, aka Obama for America, did create a minimum of three (3) false identification document copies and distributed said copies to the Daily Kos, Factcheck, and Politifact; and, additionally, posted the original false identification document on Obama's own website, "My.BarackObama.com" and also on a separate website known as, "Fight The Smears."

Furthermore, two months after the creation and distribution of these false identification documents, Obama for America, in collusion with Factcheck.org, a subsidiary of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, owned by the Annenberg Foundation and funded by billionaire George Soros, created and posted nine (9) photographs of what they further alleged was the same, false identification document that they had earlier alleged was a scanned facsimile of Obama's original birth certificate -- thus compounding their earlier offenses with further violations of the same statutes.

In all, then presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama, his campaign organization, d/b/a Obama for America, and Annenberg's Factcheck.org organization are hereby charged with thirteen (13) separate violations of Chapter 18 of the United States Code, Section 1028.

It is further alleged that these individuals and organizations, by virtue of displaying and promoting these fraudulent images as genuine government-issued documents, to the voting populaces of all 50 states in the Union, are hereby, also guilty of committing Internet fraud, in violation of individual state laws and Federal laws.

Lastly, these false documents are also in violation of Hawaiian state forgery statues as the State Government of Hawaii was directly deceived and harmed irrespective of the other charges.

I call upon the Attorney General of the State of Hawaii, Attorneys General of the other 49 states, the DC District Attorney, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Congress of the United States to launch their own investigations of the crimes committed against the respective state and national governments, and the citizens under these jurisdictions.

Or...something like that.
