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.

Regarding the rest of your post, I'll refrain from comment, except to say that I haven't seen anything credible to support the theory that Obama was born in Kenya -- nor do I see any logic in the theory, given the history of that period and the financial situation of the main characters -- so I won't be joining in a nationwide search for records.
In parting, here's a link to a 2005 journal article on "Navigating the Kenya National Archives: Research and Its Role in Kenyan Society." Even the exquisite cultural sensitivity displayed by the authors can't mask the fact that Kenyan records are in a sorry state, as reinforced by the fact that a Google search for "Kenya National Archives" yields a dead link.

Still treating the subject as if it is a leper colony.
I don't understand. Dual loyalty, divided loyalty was a prime concern of the founders. They saw it as being a mortal danger to the Republic, given the power they entrusted the Presidency.
Yet the modern pundits do not see it as an issue. Where's Glen Beck? Where's Hot Air and Malkin? Where's Laura Ingraham? All of whom waxed long about illegal immigration. Hypocrites? Cowards? Where are they?
Nevertheless we press onward, in the vanguard of this most fundamental issue.
you have freepmail
Did you see that WND picked up the Gaza story??? That was my story :-)
WOOOO HOOOO:) Well done!
This afternoon Israel Insider has their new piece up:
http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/13038.htm
It is SUCH an odd thing to say, isn’t it? I mean- how many times have people said things like- In America you can do anything- even grow up to be president...etc. NO ONE ever says..you can be president if you’re qualified under the constitution.
I may just be too long with this story- but that comment JUMPED out at me- and FOX..has played it this afternoon several times.
Hillary, Bill, Larry Johnson .... this is weird. How big is this bathtub anyway?
One word of advice to Techdude -- Olympics.
If he waits too long, the Olympics that begin on Friday are going to overshadow everything on the MSM for a few weeks, and then we have the ramp-up to the conventions, Obama and McCain naming their running mates, etc.
If you want to get this out there, do it now or risk losing your opportunity. The DC politicians have left town for five weeks, and there is no news this week except Eduoardo. The stage is yours.
Wait a week and the vacuum will disappear.
-PJ
And SHE said obama was UNELECTABLE remember?
I know what you mean - although- I’m not convinced the Olympics mean what they used to... for good or ill. It is a small window though between now and August 25 in Denver.
I’m just watching it all unfold and hoping everyone doing the detective work has their ducks in a row.
She sure did. As I predicted, a bomb is about to drop. Surprise!"
I agree. I have said all along that she wouldn't have run against him unless she had the goods on him.
I'm mostly a spectator save the introduction of Anna Toot a few weeks ago, but this is indeed getting more and more interesting.
Toot! Toot!
It won't be long before the noise begins again.
The Olympics may not be what they used to be, the the Olympics in China will be a big deal to the MSM.
-PJ
Tense-schmense! I didn’t notice:)
I dunno- if this comes out during the Olympics I think you’ll see MSNBC forced to cover it- though it may be tough with all their heads exploding..
From what I gather from reading his posts at Texas Darlin’s- it will be a few days- maybe very few.
Thank you for the research assistance link.
I have done this exercise before but it may be helpful to have it come up on this thread more than once. The opposition is out there scrubbing sources as fast as they are disclosed here. However also, there is a vast array of citations on this thread to support my description of the facts.
There were a number of copies of a news report, the last ones to be scrubbed were in African periodicals which I do not read because I don't have the language, of an interview with a couple of Christian missionaries who were getting on a BOAC flight in Africa in July 1961 at the same time as a very pregnant white woman who could reasonably be identified as Stanley Ann (although I do not believe they identified her by name) which pregnant white woman was denied boarding because of her condition and airline policy.
There is a picture of Stanley Ann and Obama Sr. in the departure area of the old Honolulu Airport with Christmas decorations in place which Obama identifies as a wedding picture. It is a reasonable inference that picture was taken sometime around late December early January 1960-1961.
In her divorce papers, Stanley Ann alleges that they were married on February 2, 1961.
Obama Sr. was already married to another woman. Although that marriage would not be a defect rendering a second marriage to Stanley Ann void under US Law, it would have constituted a technical defect in the marriage (voidable) as well as a crime under US law at the time. Marriage in Kenya would have been legal and in accord with conventional standards--many Kenyans have multiple wives. It is not unreasonable to speculate that Stanley Ann and Obama Sr. were leaving the Honolulu Airport to fly to Kenya to be married.
And following the marriage, she did not return to school for winter semester in 1961; he probably did.
Stanley Ann's next appearance in the record is on Mercer Island in August of 1961 accompanied by baby Obama. It is not unreasonable to believe that she remained in Kenya after the marriage with his family where she was supported.
Additional news reports which have been scrubbed have early stories reporting interviews with Sarah (the woman he calls "grandmother" who is not) and two of his half siblings, the three of whom claimed to have been present at his birth in Kenya.
A Wayne Madsen update asserts that a record of his birth in Kenya was found in Mombasa.
Susan Blake was one of Stanley Ann's classmates and friends at Mercer Island High School. Mercer Island is a suburb of Seattle. An interview with Ms. Blake is still available in Video form in which she says that Stanley Ann visited her on Mercer Island in August of 1961 at a time when Stanley Ann had not yet learned to change diapers. The visit was a stop over on a trip from some undisclosed location. Ostensibly, the trip was on the way to Boston to see Obama Sr. who was in school at Harvard. In fact, Obama Sr. was not in Boston nor was he at Harvard until August 1962--the timing is wrong and Stanley Ann wasn't going Boston. Susan says the visit was in later August which would not be fatal to this time line but is inconsistent with the fact that Stanley Ann had not yet learned to change diapers.
The commercial connection between Kenya and the Western US is found in BOAC schedules for July and August of 1961 which are posted on this thread--through Glaskow to Vancouver BC. From personal experience, I know that passengers destined in the Western US from British Africa went from Vancouver to Seattle, usually by surface transportation, to continue their journey in the US in this period.
It is not an unreasonable thesis that what happened was that they went to Kenya, got married; her parents had kicked her out so she stayed in Kenya; got stuck because she was too pregnant to get on the airplane; Obama was born there; she immediately got on an airplane; on Mercer Island in August, 1961; on to Honolulu where she files some form of notice of birth.
What evidence is contrary? A digital display purporting to be a copy of a birth certificate which is a demonstrated fake--it is a clear fraud. Other than a proform newspaper Vital Statistics announcement not supported by any extrinsic evidence, there is no factual support for the proposition that Obama was born in Honolulu.
Against this backdrop, instead of a credible response from the candidate and the campaign, we have not only a stonewall--we have an aggressive effort to scrub the record and intimidate anyone from successfully organizing an investigative effort into the fact.
This is a critical issue. He isn't eligible to hold the office of President if he was born in Kenya. If he in fact has an answer, he lays it out immediately--if he loses this argument, he is out. He is betting that no one can effectively ask the question because if anyone does, he doesn't have an answer.
No real doubt in my mind. I have seen this play out many times in real life over many years in the law business. Obama was born in Kenya.
A man in a tower speaks down to us — Dr. Krawetz “debunks” Tech Dude’s latest and tries to id Tech Dude:
Still, Krawetz didn’t apply any image analyis of note to it himself — it’s just a riff like AJStrata’s . But K uses more fancy words.
As I remember it was a meek little lady of a physicist who invented those wavelets, at least some of the ones useful for imaging analysis.
But what rudeness is found in Krawetz’s analysis. I can see why gentle folk are driven our of the field unless they come from China where they consider such rudeness typical of Euro-Ams and ignore it. And for a security guy, boy, does he let his fancies cloud any view of the bigger picture.
