...Smith, whose background includes a lengthy criminal record and a reported attempt to sell his kidney to a man in need of organ transplant, nonetheless insists that his motives are above board, even if his past looks dubious.
“I do have a background. I've made mistakes in my life,” Smith told WND in an email. “It took a guy like me to go and get tangible proof about Obama. I don't mind breaking a few laws or policies here and there. I don't mind paying the military in foreign countries to look the other way ... The military [in Africa] will grant you access to anything for just a few dollars. People are starving. So yes, it takes a guy like me to get things done once in a while.” ...
He seems to indicate he paid to get the document. As for CIA I don't think they would use a guy like this for anything. The provenance or origin of the document is critical to offering it as evidence. He needs to lay out where it came from and when and offer it up for examination. As for being rewarded with money for his efforts, that can be taken care of in an escrow if the document can be proven valid. Investigators of any evidence or testimony must consider the source, background and reliability of those proffering the evidence. Look at the Dan Rather NG documents, where they supposedly came from left plausible deniability of criminal action. Smith is pretty low in credibility IMO and if he has a valid document, he will have pulled off a caper of historic proportions, The fame alone should prompt him to make haste in proving up the document. He can be the one person to solve the mystery. Will or can he do it or is this just a fairy tale? Time will tell.
It does not look like what WND has on their site, a supposed 1964 Kenyan BC.
There’s a simple answer for the forms looking different.
In 48 years the forms may have changed into what has been presented by Smith.
The form the Orly has is different than the one the one that Smith has. Why? Because one is a Certified request for a Certificate of Live Birth and the other is an actual copy of the official Birth Certificates information only in a newer form.
