Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

[SE Mom]

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.

The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.

Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.

McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

“His father wasn’t Arab. Obama’s grandfather was a Muslim convert from Christianity. No Arab blood is found in the geneology.”

http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html

Excerpt:

Why is the fact that Mr. Obama is only 6.25% African Negro not reported?

Because to acknowledge it is to report this devastating truth about him: Mr. Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America’s first African-American president.

Federal law requires that to claim a minority status, you must be at least 1/8 of the descriptor, but for the sake of this article, I’ve converted it to a decimal fraction for easier comprehension. You must be at least 12.5% of the racial component you claim for minority status. Mr. Obama, claiming to be African-American, is half the legal threshold.

Again, to let it sink in: Mr. Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America’s first African-American president.

Yet claiming to be African-American is the soul and substance of his claim to fame. It is what he has used throughout his adult life to distinguish himself from other competitors. It is the ethnic identity he proclaims, and it is the ethnic identity he craves. Without it, he is just another mixed race Caucasian Arab with an African influence playing on his skin’s pigmentation.

But no matter what he craves, no matter what he has used to propel himself through life, no matter the racist presumption of seeing his skin and without question calling him black, the hard, cold, genetically inarguable reality remains: he is not an African-American.

Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming “America’s first African-American president” ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama’s great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator’s ethnic composition.)...

(It’s not what he is that’s his problem - it’s what he isn’t!)

[AppyPappy]

No Arab blood whatsoever. His father’s family was African.

[bvw]

Sounds reasonable, still ... there is the Kenyan birth oral tradition and possibly some records from Kenya (at least I’ve seen reports of a Kenyan Birth Certificate).

[bvw]

Why AFRICAN on the CoLB?

Fred Nerks: Someone standing for election as an African-American?

By Okham's razor ... that could be the simplest explanation. Now what shaving cream did Okham use?

Pam Geller at AtlasShrugs blog says re an updated analysis of the CoLB(s) by the forensic document examiner techdude:

The report is coming! You will not be disappointed.

I thought nearly every claim had been debunked already:

* No seal on back - debunked
* Fake border - debunked
* Different type sizes - debunked
* Different fonts for letter "S" - debunked
* Thinner type than the Decosta version - debunked
* Signs of tampering - debunked
* Space missing in date - debunked
* Light pixels around text - almost debunked

I'm betting that the report won't contain a sample of text in the correct font, with the correct spacing because it is not easy to produce.

Other certificates generally have a two week period between the date of birth and the date filed or accepted so why is there such a short time frame for the man of no history?

I noticed that also, and yes, it's an exceptionally short time frame. I've seen certificates where the recording date was a month or more after the birth, but in general, two weeks is about average, while four days is quite an anomaly.

And yes, the Seattle Times reported that Stanley Ann registered for the spring term at UW as a "single mother," living in a apartment on Capitol Hill. Assuming the spring term began in late March, Obama would have been seven months old. So Stanley Ann was in Seattle when Obama was "a few weeks old," according to her friend Susan Blake on a video report, and she was there when he was seven months old, according to the Seattle Times reporter.  It would be reasonable to speculate that she never left Seattle until Obama, Sr. had graduated in '62 and left for Harvard. That would also agree with a  Time magazine report that Obama, Sr. left "when Obama was almost one" (and not when he was 2 years old, as  frequently reported elsewhere).

It's also not too far-fetched to theorize that Obama was also born in the Seattle area, and the birth somehow registered in Hawaii. I found two institutions mentioned on a Kings County discussion board adoption topic at Ancestry: Florence Crittenton Home for unwed mothers in Dunlap and Waldo Sanitarium in Seattle's Maple Leaf neighborhood. Both are closed now, and none of the researchers posting to the board has been able to find any of their records, which, if they still exist, are probably sealed.  And there were other private or church-sponsored institutions, such as the Home of the Good Shepherd (Seattle) which sheltered unwed mothers, either voluntarily or through court referrals. Sure, most of these girls were expected to surrender the baby for adoption, but not all did.

Where I don't agree is in the speculation that, if there's some falsehood in his birth record, Obama was necessarily born outside the US. I think people have jumped to that conclusion way too prematurely, based on the hope that he be legally disqualified as a POTUS candidate.  OTOH, if he wasn't born in Hawaii, it could be devastating, from a PR standpoint, to have the biography that he's built a career on exposed as a house of cards, especially since so many so-called journalists have written so many swooning stories of the messianic incarnation based on nothing more than the supposed "facts" he set down in his books.

Realistically, though, I get the feeling that Obama and his people have recovered all the ground and spoken to all the parties involved in his personal history, and that his glorious story will not be disproved to any legitimate degree.

His ancestory

http://www.wargs.com/political/obama.html
or
http://www.suntimes.com/images/cds/MP3/obamatree.pdf

See any Arabic names in there?

Barack Obama’s grandfather was Hussein Onyango Obama (Grandfather). He was born about 1895 and died in 1979. He worked for the British colonial government and was a prominent and wealthy farmer.

Grandfather lived for a time in Zanzibar, where he converted from Christianity to Islam. He was one of the first Muslim converts in his village.

Grandfather, for whom Obama was given the middle name, Hussein, was “fiercely devoted to Islam.” He had at least 3 wives: Helima, who had no children, Akuma who gave birth to Sarah Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Auma Obama.

“What your grandfather respected was strength — discipline.” Obama quoted his grandmother, Sarah, as telling him. “This is also why he rejected the Christian religion.

“For a brief time, he converted, and even changed his name to Johnson. But he could not understand such ideas as mercy towards your enemies, or that this man Jesus could wash away a man’s sins.”

“To your grandfather, this was foolish sentiment, something to comfort women,” she added. “And so he converted to Islam — he thought its practices conformed more closely to his beliefs.”

Grandfather’s third wife Sarah, is the one often referred to by Obama as his “grandmother.” She is not a blood relative and describes herself as a lifelong Muslim. “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” she said.

Sarah was the primary caregiver for Senior after his mother, Akuma, left the family when her children were still young.

Nice story; but actually his family is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time Shiite, not Sunni, as in nineteenth century Sudan.

Daniel Pearl was investigating the financing of Al Qaeda, which started in East Africa. The illegal trade of humans and gems are still controlled by militant Muslims and the trade traces from East Africa, to Iran, to Dubai and into Kuwait. Funny, the US Treasury just found the same financial mapping of those monies. Good thing they didn’t lose their head like Danny Pearl.

Al Qaeda operatives settled themselves into several communities along Kenya’s East Coast. In 2004, US Marine Brigadier General Martin Robeson, then commander of the regional US led antiterror task force based in Djibouti warned that hundreds of new Al Qaeda members had been recruited in Kenya, despite stepped up antiterrorism efforts. U.S. intelligence officials mentioned repeatedly, that apprehended suspects included members of Al Qaeda and Al Itihaad al Islamiya, considered the most powerful radical band in the Horn of Africa, which has been funded by Al Qaeda. Counter terrorist intelligence reports have identified the Dabaab refugee camp on the Somalia- Kenya border as a training ground for Islamic extremists, through a Muslim charity, called al Haramain, that sponsored religious schools and social programs

“but actually his family is descended from Arab slave traders”

How do you know that?

[Calpernia]

Maybe if you read the links you have been cited in the posts to you, you would know.

[AppyPappy]

So you really don’t know. It’s a simple question. Which of Obama’s ancestors were Arab slave traders?

[Crystal Cove]

I went to your links but didn’t see anything that mentioned Obama, let alone that he’s descended from Arab slave traders. Could you be more specific?

[Calpernia]

Don't put words in my mouth. And it is not ancestors. Slave Trade never ceased.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2040486/posts?page=939#939

Obama's family is the controlling tribe of East Africa: Kenya, Somalia, the Ogaden sector of Ethiopia and Tanzania.

Wilson Peter, 12 year-old child miner: “At the mines we sift through sand for gems. Sometimes we find nothing. We get hungry and go home. We go to eat. After we eat we go back into the mine. We work until six, then we go home. At home we rest for a while. After resting we change our clothes. Then we go to fetch water to use in the house. Then we help mother with chores. After dark we go to bed.”

Mererani, Tanzania: the only place on earth where the rare gem tanzanite is found.

I definitely agree that some major cleaning has been going on using over-size barrels of Mr. Clean! Searching through various links and reading various stories and blogs sometimes resulted in dead ends but then there are Hilliary supporters who are protesting about the actions lately. An example of this was posted at the noquarter blog and follows:(cleaned up,but with misspellings and grammar errors left intact)

ok steevieboy….you are so smart why don’t you tell us all about Obama???????
why does he lie??????
why did he put forward a fake birth certificate?
why are all his state senatorial records missing?????
I can tell you this little smart a**..I was a delegate for my state of Florida in 2004 ..and i never heard of an Obama until on the convention floor placards werw being handed out to the delegates to hold up with the name “obama” on them.
The joke among my delegation was..what is an Obama??????
He was the first speaker to have his placard handed out to all delegations..usually the speakers own state only gets the placards..but this one was different..Obama’s signs were given to all delegations and we could not figure out for the life of us ..why???
Furthermore dearest troll..the most expensive party at the 2004 dem convention was “Obama’s party”…i kept asking for several years..why? and who put up the bucks$$$$$$$$..this guy was nit even a US Senator yet..and most people i know ( i have lived in 9 states) running for Senate the first time don’t have a pot to pi** in ..let alone put on the most expensive party at the convention.
Now if you don’t care to know who is running to sit in the most powerful office in the world..then get the f*** out of here..no one needs you’re smart a**ed comments..there are serious people here that take the responibility bestowed on us by our forefathers..very seriously…’WE THE PEOPLE”..
NOW MOVE ALONG..YOUR KIND OF BULLS*** IS NOT WANTED HERE..GO BACK TO orange CHEETOS LAND.

There are simply too many inconsistencies in the fairy tale Obama has told which makes reasonably minded people question and try to ferret out the truth, albeit rather late. Talk about a Manchurian candidate and then begin to pray for G-d t help America!

[AppyPappy]

Here’s what you said

“but actually his family is descended from Arab slave traders”

OK. which family members were Arabs?
