The purported Certification of Live Birth published by the Daily Kos
left wing blog and claimed as genuine by the Obama campaign features a
security border that differs dramatically from security borders on COLB
documents before and after the one supposedly printed out for Obama in
2007.
Barack Obama may be on a
world tour surrounded by a fawning media, but Sunday an expert in
electronic document forensics released a detailed report on the
purported birth certificate -- actually a "Certification of Live Birth"
or COLB -- claimed as genuine by his campaign. The expert concludes
with 100% certainty that it is a crudely forged fake: "a horribly
forgery," according to the analysis published on the popular right-wing Atlas Shrugs blog.
The purported birth certificate was published by the left wing
Daily Kos blog on June 12 in response to unconfirmed reports that Obama
was not in fact born in the United States (Canada and Kenya were
suggested as the possible locations of his actual birth). Since he
would in that case not be a natural born US citizen (his mother was not
present in the US sufficiently long as an adult to pass American
citizenship on to him automatically), he would not be eligible to be
president. Israel Insider has followed the story in five previous
articles (the previous one here)
and uncovered evidence, most recently, of admitted forgery among Daily
Kos bloggers, tolerance of electronic forgeries on the blog site, as
well as efforts by a blog administrator to conceal the admission of
forgery.
The latest examinaton of the purported documents is by far the most detailed and technically sophisticated to date.
Atlas Shrugs publisher Pamela Geller reports that the expert
analyst, who goes by the screen name "Techdude", is "an active member
of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American College of
Forensic Examiners, The International Society of Forensic Computer
Examiners, International Information Systems Forensics Association --
the list goes on. He also a board certified as a forensic computer
examiner, a certificated legal investigator, and a licensed private
investigator. He has been performing computer-based forensic
investigations since 1993 (although back then it did not even have a
formal name yet) and he has performed countless investigations since
then."

Perhaps
the outspoken Israeli press corps will be able to do what their fawning
American counterparts have failed to do so far. Obama's visit this week
to Israel will be an opportunity to begin asking the tough questions --
however unpolitically correct -- about his apparently forged birth
certificate and what that means for his citizenship status and
Constitutional fitness to be the next leader of the free world.

The pseudonym was apparently inadequate to prevent Techdude's identity
from being exposed. He reports that last week one or more persons
"decided to track me down and vandalize my car and hang a dead
mutilated rabbit from my front door in a lame attempt to intimidate me
from proceeding with releasing any details of my analysis. They did
succeed in delaying the report by a few days but instead of deterring
me they just really pissed me off. To their credit, if I had not taken
a few days off from the analysis I would have missed the most damning
piece of evidence -- the remnants of the previous security border."
Techdude's detailed report, which runs more than 3000 words and 20
pages with extensive magnified illustrations and comparisons, reaches
the following conclusion about the documented that was first published
on the Daily Kos extreme left-wing blog and subsequently publicly
endorsed by the Obama campaign, both in statements by official
spokesmen, and featured on its "Fight the Smears" website. Here are
some of conclusions:
"The (Daily) KOS image security border pattern does not match any
known specimen from any known year. It does not match the pre-2006 nor
does it match the post-2006 certificate patterns. The placement of the
text in all of the pre-2006 and post-2006 certificates are almost
identical pixel location matches while the image?s text placement does
not match any known specimen from any known year. The shape and kerning
of the fonts used in the 2006 through 2008 certificates are identical
while the shape and kerning of the fonts used in the image does not
match any known specimen. The KOS image shows clear signs of tampering
such as the mismatch in RGB and error levels, visible indications of
the previous location of the erased security border, easily detectable
patterns of repeating flaws around the new security border, EXIF data
that says the image was last saved with Photoshop CS3 for Macintosh,
and finally a technician from Hawaii who confirms it just looks wrong."
The evidence, he says, allows for two possible scenarios by which the document was fabricated:
"There are two obvious scenarios used to create the image that can
be ascertained from evidence. Either a real COLB was scanned into
Photoshop and digitally edited or a real COLB was first scanned to
obtain the graphic layout then blanked by soaking the document in
solvent to remove the toner. After rescanning the blank page to a
separate image the graphics from the previously obtained scan could
then be easily applied to the blank scan after some editing and
rebuilding. It would also explain why date stamp bleeds through the
paper and the various bits of toner located around the image as well as
the remnants of the previous location of a security border."
The purported birth certificate was published by the Daily Kos on
June 12 in response to unconfirmed reports that Obama was not in fact
born in the United States (Canada and Kenya were suggested as the
possible locations of his actual birth). Since he would in that case
not be a natural born US citizen (his mother was not present in the US
sufficiently long as an adult to pass American citizenship on to him
automatically), he would not be eligible to be president.
After more than a month of controversy and demands that the Obama
campaign produce a paper birth certificate for analysis, this damning
new evidence raises the stakes for the democratic party and its
front-runner.
Will Obama and his people continue to stonewall in the facing of
the mounting evidence of forgery, and provide paper proof of an
authentic, original birth certificate or even a genuine secondary
Certificate of Live Birth? And will the mass media and mainstream
pundits -- which so far have hesitated to touch the hot potato --
finally address the loaded issue of his possible unfitness to meet the
basic Constitutional requirement for a President?
Perhaps the outspoken Israeli press corps will be able to do what
their fawning American counterparts have failed to do so far. Obama's
visit this week to Israel will be an opportunity to begin asking the
tough questions -- however unpolitically correct -- about his
apparently forged birth certificate and what that means for his
citizenship status and Constitutional fitness to be the next leader of
the free world.
This is the sixth of a series on the purported Obama birth certificate. Here's where you can find Part 1, 2, 3 4, and 5.
