Obama’s “Fake but Accurate” Birth Certificate

May 22 2012 Published by under salt

(This is a repost of a post I wrote a year ago, the day Obama released his long-form birth certificate, but given recent events, having another look at the “fake but accurate” birth certificate seemed in order.  I believe Obama was born in Hawaii, but I *also* believe his legal adoption by his mother’s second husband, Lolo Soetoro, in Indonesia, compromised his eligibility to hold office.  We know he was adopted there because his daughter, Obama’s half-sister Maya, the only sibling he’s taken out on the campaign trail, posted on her FB page that Lolo adopted him, thus rendering his birth certificate “fake but accurate.”)

Okay… I was 99% convinced until about an hour ago that the birth certificate was legit.

Gosh, kind of a lot’s happened since then.

How could he put out such a ham-handed fake? This ONE image ALONE blows it and all you had to do was zoom in to see it. Below is a screenshot I took of the original birth certificate pdf downloaded from the White House website. I was viewing it in Adobe Acrobat. All I did was zoom. That’s it.

Look at the pixelation on the last 1!!!!

There’s also the problem of the lack of ‘chromatic fringe’ around the letters. It’s PURE white around the edges of the numbers. That’s NOT what happens in COLOR SCANS and we know this is a color scan because the safety paper is clearly green.

I wish I could say I knew about ‘chromatic fringe’ 2 hours ago but I didn’t. A detailed, mind-blowing examination of the document is here. But before you go, look what happened when I just tried to ‘control-C’ copy the selection above:

 

Barry… Didn’t the Nixon years teach you ANYTHING? It’s not the CRIME. It’s the COVER-UP.

If the ‘mind-blowing’ exam link is broken (as it likely is since I have lately been embed hexed) you can cut and paste this one:

UPDATE 19 May 2011:

Just figured out why & how the last ’1′ is different from the numbers that precede it.

If you’ve ever used Adobe Photoshop Elements, you know there’s a select tool called the ‘magic wand.’ Basically it selects whatever you ‘touch’ with it, so if you have an irregular area, like the inside of a number (or series of numbers) you lifted off another person’s birth certificate, you can ‘select’ each one then ‘fill’ it with something else, like, black.  That explains why all the numbers except the last ’1′ are so nice and inky black.  They selected areas to ‘fill.’  They probably reasoned that if they ‘selected’ & ‘filled’ all the irregular areas and filled them with black it would give the document consistency.  But what to do about that last number that has to be changed?

They typed it.  Dumb choice.  Rookie mistake. (Did Obama himself do this?) Look at the hard edges around the bottom of that last ’1.’  Now look at the irregular edges of the other numbers.  How do you explain that?  One suggestion is that it was made by one of those rubber stamp things that advances a click every type you stamp something. Uh… No.  It’s too sharp… too COMPUTER GENERATED.  The only thing I can’t figure is why didn’t the genius who did this who presumably can ‘select’ and ‘fill’ just ‘select’ and ‘copy’ one of the other 1′s?  That would have been the thing to do, then just rough up the edges a little to distinguish it from the others.  That ain’t hard. They AT LEAST could have ‘inked in’ the pixels on the typed ’1′ ferkryssakes.  Like I said before, my kids could make a better fake.

Here’s the Problem w/Having Manchurian President

Feb 22 2012 Published by under salt

The simple fact that this is even remotely credible, is alarming. 2 days after Georgia’s Malihi – the judge with the mysterious past – IGNORED some VERY BASIC LAW to give Barry a pass, POOF, FIRST NUKE REACTOR IN U.S. in THIRTY YEARS approved in Georgia.  Below, from The Western Center for Journalism:

Was The Georgia Secretary Of State’s Decision “Greased”?

“That thing was greased,” as they say in Chicago, referring to a political phenomenon known as “being handled before table.” Well, bloggers are asking, was it? Word now coming out reveals just two days after Secretary of State Brian Kemp gave Barack Obama the green light to appear on Georgia election ballots,, the Department of Energy awarded Kemp’s state an eye popping $8.3 billion loan guarantee to begin construction on two nuclear plants. In the face of “a shocking dissent by Nuclear Regulatory Commission CHAIRMAN Director Gregory B. Jazcko,” four other commissioners approved awarding Southern Energy the first nuclear construction licenses since 1978, just one year before the tragedy of the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster put a hold on new U.S. nuclear plant construction. No new licenses have been approved until this huge Vogtle project got its go ahead to build two new reactors near Augusta.

“Jazcko said that the approved designs did not take the lessons of Fukushima into account. I cannot support issuing this license as if Fukushima never happened,” he told other NRC members before their shocking vote to approve this estimated $14 billion project. Friends of the Earth’s climate and energy project Director Damon Moglen is vowing to challenge the validity of the newly approved license in court. “The license may be granted, but these reactors are far from a done deal,” he said. Applications for 16 other plants looking to build 25 more reactors are on file with the NRC according to CNN Money reporter Steve Hargreaves , who added, “there are two applications submitted for brand new nuclear plants – one in Levy County, FL, and another outside Gaffney, S.C.”

While other viable nuclear construction projects await approval, the Georgia project got the green light in spite of the NRC director’s vehement objection as well as “12 sizeable construction change order requests (and) long-running site-specific design and fabrication problems (which) have confounded Westinghouse and its lead contractor for more than two years.”

So on February 7, 2012, Georgia Secretary of State Kemp stated “after careful consideration of Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi’s initial decision and all record evidence based on the criteria set forth in this process, I find that the Respondent, President Barack Obama, meets the State of Georgia’s eligibility requirements.” And a scant two days later, Obama’s DOE finds the money to award Kemp’s state a whopping $8.3 billion loan guarantee for a $14 billion nuclear project and license approvals not done in the industry in over 30 years!

One blogger said after the Malihi story, “This crap needs to end–NOW!!!” Another blogger who tipped me off about the Malihi-Nuclear decision connection mused, “The fix was in long before this challenge was ever submitted.”

Below is the latest from “birther queen” Orly Taitz. I hate the term “birther” and I’m not particularly fond of “queen” and I especially don’t like them together, but everyone understands them, so…

This is excerpted from an update she posted on her site (very) early Saturday morning.

God/Gaia/HigherPower/It/Tree Love her. She’s doing a very hard thing, at great personal cost & peril.

 “…So far I filed challenges in NH, HI, GA, IN, LA, MS, (and) there are ongoing cases in CA and DC.

…Other individuals filed challenges in IL, PA, CA, FL, MA, TN, AZ, TX, DC. Similar challenges are expected all over the country.

My main concern … (is) that no judge will remove Obama from the ballot based on Minor v Hapersett only… It will take more, than that. It will take a combination of showing malfeasance, criminal behavior by Obama in conjunction with bringing forward the issue of eligibility based on his father’s foreign citizenship. The judges understand that the citizens will not accept removal of a siting President from the ballot based on the interpretation of the Constitution only, as the reasonable question will be: why was he allowed in the WH in the first place? …Just as it happened in Watergate, evidence of flagrant criminality on part of the sitting President will do him in at the end…”

Birther Logic Delineated by an Attorney

Feb 09 2012 Published by under salt

This is as good & clear an explanation of Minor vs. Happersett, and the depth and breadth of the generalized doubt about Obama’s provenance as I have ever seen.  Highly recommended and a big “atta-boy” once again to The American Thinker who is singularly brilliant on a near daily basis.

Click. Go. Read.  All the way to the end.  You’ll be wickedly smaht-er. ;)

Born Twice?

Feb 08 2012 Published by under salt

The birthers may get a second bite at the apple… and the last laugh depending upon who the V.P. pick is.

Reading this article on Marco Rubio, it occurs to me that the Democrats, who started the whole birther thing though nobody ever remembers it that way (the Clintons lit that match during the primary), may challenge whoever the pick is, because I’d bet my last dollar it will be a politically correct minority in order to kneecap Obama’s certain playing of the race card.  That’s not to say Bam won’t use it anyway, but an “ethnic”  V.P. will add a helpful strain of incredulity to every card in his deck.

The really hard core birthers assert that because Obama’s dad was a British citizen at the time of birth, and his mother was not yet the age of majority, his citizenship is British.  They keep pointing to this SCOTUS precedent of Minor v Happersett that supposedly settled it, and I can see their point, but I can’t get past the whole “anchor baby” problem inherent in it.  In order to believe that their argument is sound, you would then have to believe that every baby born on American soil not of two parents who are citizens, is not a “natural born citizen” and that’s millions of precedents literally walking around…  I just don’t see how you can get past that.  There’s paper law, then there’s law with “lungs” – millions of them, living and breathing, with rights.  How do you strip them of them?

I just don’t know how it would all work, but I’m not a lawyer, I have the added complication of having Asperger’s which makes me very literal, and given to huge misses.  I’ve been known to miss BIG on things that are obvious to others, so I’ve long ago stopped be so damned certain about everything.

Taitz, Obama & What Judge Malihi Wishes He Saw?

Feb 03 2012 Published by under salt

It seems the merits weren’t so meritorious.

Obama will remain on the GA ballot.

The judge’s order is here.

Bummer.

Not being a lawyer, I’m rather out of my depth reading these things, but it seems to me he gave the (theoretical)  next group that tries this in his courtroom a very clear threshold to meet to be convincing to him the next time.  He was very generous detailing precisely what the problems were with Orly Taitz’s identity fraud witnesses, and – I could totally be wishing this but – it seems to me his problem wasn’t so much with the evidence as it was with the caliber of the expertise of the people presenting it… i.e. “Get me a couple of qualified Feds in the box and I’m listenin’…”

No Obama GA Verdict from Malihi YET, But…

Feb 03 2012 Published by under salt

…the GA Secretary of State may get Judge Malihi’s recommendation as early as this evening (Friday) with the rest of us finding out in a couple of days… The waiting is killing me!

Via Patricia Walston writing for the Atlanta examiner.com 

The decision of Judge Malihi regarding the eligibility of President Barack Obama to be on the Georgia Presidential Preference Primary ballot on March 6, 2012, could be sent to the office of Secretary of State Brian P. Kemp soon.

In a phone conversation with Ms. Ruff, the Judge’s secretary, she stated that her impression was that the Judge would be making his final decision; and forwarding the case on to  the Secretary of State’s office as early at this evening –  or Monday morning.

There is a lot of interest all across America concerning  the Judge’s decision since the hearing was held here in Atlanta last month. The controversy is whether or not President Obama is a “natural born” citizen; which is required by the United States Constitution to be President.

Currently the Judge is going over all the aspects of the hearing with all of the “legal eagles” making sure that all the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted.”

The case was heard on January 26, 2012, in the court of Judge Michael Malihi. The groups bringing the complaint are: David Farrar, Leah Lax, Thomas Malaren and Laurie Roth, represented by Orly Taitz.   Liberty Legal Foundation represented David Weldon.  Carl Swensson; and Kevin Powell were represented by J. Mark Hatfield.

Democrat Cody Judy has also challenged his eligibility as well. He has a vested interest in the case since he wishes to run against Obama.

Matt Carrothers, Press Secretary at the Secretary of State’s Office, stated as of noon today, they had not yet received a decision from the Judge.

There were certain steps necessary before forwarding it on to Brian Kemp’s office.

1.  The Judge would need to consider the testimony, evidence, and the cases presented by both sides. Then he would render what is called “Findings of Facts,” and/or “Initial Decision”.

2.  When he makes a decision, it will be sent to Secretary of State Brian P. Kemp’s office along with all the records

3.  Then Secretary of State will make his decision based on the evidence and the Judge’s decision.

Valerie Ruff, secretary to the Judge, stated a few moments ago that the word from the Judge is that his decision is likely to be sent to the Secretary of State’s office either this evening or Monday.

Final assessments are being made; and presently the Judge is going over all the aspects of the hearing with all of the “legal eagles” making sure that all the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted.”

Based on the outcome of the decision made by the Secretary of State’s office, there could be an appeal if President Obama is deemed not eligible to be on the Georgia ballot because of his birth.

There is just little over one month from today for the Secretary of State to make his decision before the Presidential Preference Primary.

Motion for Obama Contempt in Georgia

Feb 01 2012 Published by under salt

From The American Thinker:

Obama Got Served

February 1, 2012 | Cindy Simpson

Obama was served a subpoena to appear in a hearing last week in Georgia over his eligibility to appear on the state’s ballot.  Obama’s attorney, Michael Jablonski, immediately filed a motion to quash the subpoena, which was denied by OSAH Judge Michael Malihi.  In his denial, Judge Malihi seemed to leave open the possibility for a quash, if Jablonski had only offered appropriate legal authority in support.  The judge asserted that “Defendant’s motion suggests that no President should be compelled to attend a Court hearing.  This may be correct.  But Defendant has failed to enlighten the Court with any legal authority.”

Instead of respectfully following procedure, however, Jablonski went over the judge’s head and straight to Secretary of State Brian Kemp with a letter, sent the day before the hearings were scheduled, arguing that the entire matter should be dropped as it was “baseless, costly and unproductive[.]”  Jablonski’s letter concluded: “We await your taking the requested action, and as we do so, we will, of course, suspend further participation in these proceedings, including the hearing scheduled for January 26.”

Kemp responded that his office lacked authority under Georgia law to suspend the hearings, and warned Jablonski that “if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.”

Jablonski remained true to his word — neither he nor Obama showed up for the January 26 hearing.  I noted last week that Obama was not scheduled to be anywhere near Atlanta on the date of the hearing, although I had wondered if still, perhaps, Georgia might be on his mind.  According to reports in the blogosphere, the president’s schedule on the morning of the 26th was open, and according to an unnamed source, Obama watched the live feed of the hearings.

Perhaps Obama, as well as the several mainstream media news outlets I spotted at the hearing, were merely watching in hopes that the “crazy birthers” would really do something…well, crazy.  Or unlawful.  In fact, though, it was the president himself and his defense team who were the ones defying the rule of law.

The mainstream media, in lockstep with Obama, reported nothing of the events, in a stunning blackout on a truly historic hearing — one that discussed the eligibility of a sitting president to run for a second term.  And more troubling was the fact that the media failed to acknowledge the even more sensational news — that the president and his defense attorney snubbed an official subpoena.

Today, Attorney Van Irion, on behalf of his client, Georgia resident David Welden, filed a “Motion for Finding of Contempt” with Judge Malihi.  Irion asserts that “… Defendant Obama willfully defied this Court’s order to appear and testify[,]” and his “actions represent a direct threat to the entire judicial branch and the separation of powers between the branches of government.”  Irion argued that “[s]uch a declaration cannot go without response from this Court” and moved that the Court refer the “matter to the Superior Court of Fulton County for confirmation that the Defendant violated Administrative Rules of Procedure … and to determine appropriate sanctions.”

Now, will we get the opportunity to debate the meaning of “subpoena” — or whether the law even applies to this president?

Transcript/Evidence in Obama/Georgia Birther Case

Jan 30 2012 Published by under salt

UPDATE II – January 31, 2012: Came across this sort of all-purpose clearinghouse site for all things birther. If you want to drop into the vortex and not work for a couple of hours, knock yourself out.  It’s a good jumping off point to all the big sites on the subject.

 

UPDATE I – January 31, 2012:  The link to the transcript is below, but here’s a link to the evidence submitted to the court in support of the testimony.  I defy you to look at it and believe Obama’s bullish*t nativity story.  It’s pretty damning stuff.

I hate the term “birther” but everybody knows what it means, so I used it.

At bottom is a link to the official court transcript of the hearing last Thursday in Georgia; the very first time evidence supporting doubt about Obama’s fantastic nativity story was presented in open court to be adjudged on its merits.  Don’t believe this bullcr*p that “thousands” of case have come before. Not true.  They got tossed before a scrap of paper was put before a judge. This is the first time evidence was put before a judge, to be adjudged on the merits, not tossed PRIOR to a speck of evidence being seen because of the soft-shoe of fancy-pants lawyering.  Again:  this is the first time evidence has been put before a judge.  It’s remarkable that nobody in the MSM gave it coverage, other than to mock it, late at night, if at all.

Also, again, for the record, I do not subscribe to the theory that the problem with Mr. Obama’s records is that he is not a “natural born citizen” due to the British citizenship of his father, nor that he was born somewhere other than in the United States. I absolutely believe he was born in Hawaii.  It’s AFTER that the problem begins. My own pet theory is that he was adopted in Indonesia, thereby voiding his original cert, so the one he released is “fake but accurate” if you know what I mean – and I think you do!  Links to my previous posts on the matter are here & here & here.

SO!  Here is the link to the transcript.
