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.

A little perspective: This was the world Barry Obama entered when he went to Oxy and hung out with a 'diverse' international group.

Various Headines from 1977 – 1979

A Pakistani's Cry: 'Kill Us If You Will'

Washington Post, The (DC) - May 7, 1977

Length: 1050 words (Estimated printed pages: 4)

 

He came spilling through the peeling, white arabesque arch of the Nila Gumbad mosque with the rest of the men, a husky fellow with a full, black beard. Aftab Allam, he said his name was, and he owned two cloth shops there in the old quarter of Lahore. Like so many Punjabs who look older than they are, he appeared to be about 45, but he said he was 33. He had come to the mosque during a two-hour break in the curfew permitted for sabbath prayers. In the sermon, he said, the imam had told...

 

Violence Born of Fanaticism Tests Liberalism in Egypt

Washington Post, The (DC) - July 10, 1977

Length: 982 words (Estimated printed pages: 4)

 

The slaying of a former Egyptian Cabinet minister and the discovery that it was the work of Moslem fanatics apparently bent on a campaign of terror in the name of Islam have shocked Egypt and cast a spotlight on some of the country's political and religious divisions. Unlike the food price riots of January, this incident has not directly challenged the authority of President Anwar Sadat's government. The slaying itself, after the victim was kidnaped and held hostage,...

 

Moslems vs. Shah

Washington Post, The (DC) - May 26, 1978

Length: 1241 words (Estimated printed pages: 5)

 

The menacing battle tanks have left the square outside the mosque, whose gold-covered dome beckons travelers from across the Ochre Desert to this shrine of the Shia sect of Islam. But riot troops and secret police remain as tangible proof that Qom is the center of a battle between church and state, a conflict which since January has confronted Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi with his biggest challenge in 15 years, perhaps even a quarter of a century. Since the first trouble here in January,...

 

Shah Tells New Iranian Cabinet He Is Leaving

Washington Post, The (DC) - January 7, 1979

Length: 1560 words (Estimated printed pages: 6)

 

Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar presented a new civilian Cabinet made up of little-known technocrats today as Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi indicated strongly that he would leave the country as soon as the new government is firmly installed. The shah's departure, ostensibly for a vacation, would be a last-ditch effort to save his throne. But it could mean an end to his reign because a revolutionary spirit is running through Iran that might prevent his return as monarch. The shah...

 

The Ayatollah's View Of Islamic Democracy

Washington Post, The (DC) - January 28, 1979

Length: 896 words (Estimated printed pages: 3)

 

AT THE CENTER of the swirl of upheaval in Iran is a man who hasn't even been in the country for more than a decade, a 78-year-old Moslem religious leader whose pronouncements can bring throngs into the streets of Iranian cities and cause lights to burn late in government offices around the world. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's unrelenting pressure for the establishment of an Islamic republic is the focus of the country's turmoil after the departure of the...

 

U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Is Kidnaped, Slain in Shootout

Washington Post, The (DC) - February 15, 1979

Length: 1267 words (Estimated printed pages: 5)

 

The U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Adolph (Spike) Dubs, was killed yesterday when Afghan police stormed the Kabul hotel room where he was being held by terrorist gunmen who had kidnaped him a few hours earlier. His death, the apparent result of the crossfire between police and the kidnapers, drew harsh criticism from the State Department, which said Afghan authorities had ignored official U.S. pleas for restraint in their efforts to free Dubs. The kidnapers were believed to be conservative.

 

American Hopes For Close Ties With Iran Dashed

Washington Post, The (DC) - November 8, 1979

Length: 870 words (Estimated printed pages: 4)

 

For the second time this year, mob action in Iran has shattered the Carter admistration's perceptions of its ability to deal with the Iranian revolution by staying close to the government in power. Only a month ago, middle-level State Department officials were encouraging U.S. businessmen to go back to Iran and work with the Islamic revolutionary regime of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in a bid to renew the American presence. Today, some of those same officials are working...

 

. . Khomeini Endorses Threat to Kill Hostages

Washington Post, The (DC) - November 23, 1979

Length: 1336 words (Estimated printed pages: 5)

 

Iran's revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini said tonight that if the United States attacks Iran, the Islamic militants occupying the U.S. Embassy would kill the American hostages inside and blow up the building. Speaking on television, the 79-year-old Iranian leader for the first time personally endorsed the militants' death threats. "If the United States wants to attack us," Khomeini said, "we cannot restrain the...

Here we go again. A cutout of Obama Photoshopped onto another photo. The shadows on Obama appear to come from several sources that are at sharp angles to each other. Plus, the shadows are way too dark and too sharply cut to be real.

First, using the shadows on tim Robinson, the guy to Obama's left, the shadow from his glasses, his head, and his bent arm indicate that the primary light (the Sun) is located about eight degrees off the vertical (behind his head) and about five degrees off the horizontal (to the right of his head).

Now, to Obama. His big Afro should have created a big, bulb-shaped shadow on his shirt with gradations of color, but looks fairly uniform in both color and shape. Now, look at the arm bent in almost rhe same way as Robinson. Where's the rest of the shadow? It is barely there and looks nothing like the shadow on Robinson -- which is NOT from Barry because there is no shadow at all on the outside of Robinson's right arm. If Barry was standing that close to him, then there should have been a shadow on Robinson's arm.

LASTLY, look at Barry's face. He's got shadows from his glasses that could only have been made by sunlight squarely directly above his head.

Unless the Earth had a second Sun in 1979, this is another Photoshop fraud.

[BrerLion]

this is another Photoshop fraud

That photoshop really is powerful. I understand it was used in faking the video of Armstrong's moon walk, too.

[lilylangtree]

Obozo’s definitely a fraud. Where’s the signup sheet to petition for impeachment? I wanna sign.

[LucyT]

Thanks, All, for the pings and mail.

To The List: begin at #6926 and read to end of page to catch up.

Polarik has identified photoshopped photos, too.

[Wedding pix at #6914 in case you missed it; someone observed Stanley Ann looked unwell in the photo.]

[Frantzie]

This is so bizarre. His personal documents and records are sealed everywhere. His thugs at the tribune got the seal lifted off Ryan’s divorce. We have boyhood photos created on photoshop.

The Soviets would airbrush people out of history books. With O they are hiding his real history and creating a fake one.

[autumnraine]

Does this strike anyone as odd?

It seems these are quotes, maybe it was someone's typos that left out the "s". Or maybe that's how they say it in Hawaii. Any Hawaiians know if you say "We go play hoop" instead of "hoops"? Or could have been phrased better? Was this a quote from Obama? Is he stupid or trying to sound jive? (Sorry, not always one in the same, but sometimes it can)

[autumnraine]

Does 6937 look photoshopped to you? It just looks sort of clunky, but I am confused by the type with his name on the bottom. But that woman has a year book with this stuff in it...

Anyway, what is up with all the photoshopped pictures? I saw one several months back of him in the center of a Harvard Law Review group photo and his head looked at least 5 times bigger than everyone else. Like REALLY bigger. I think I’ll try to see if I downloaded that picture Polarik and post it to you.

[autumnraine]

FOUND IT!

It was up on Harvard's website until I inquired on the apparent photoshopping and asked who submitted this picture. It was removed the next morning which was WEIRD! And made me think I was in some stupid Hollywood movie

Oh yeah, and check out his hand. That is a some kind of awkward position to be STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN, right? Wouldn't a hand be a tad more diagonal?

Please tell me what you think of this.

[Chief Engineer]

FYI the Obamas married October 3, 1992 and Ann Dunham died November 7,1995. IIRC she first became ill in 1993 or 1994 while in Indonesia and wasn’t ill for vey long before she died.

[BrerLion]

awkward position

I think that they were short on space, they are not arranged shoulder-to-shoulder. On either side of Zero, the students are angled so that their shoulders are either behind, or forward, of their neighbor's. The person in the center (Zero) is an exception, both shoulders visible. He may be kneeling? It is difficult to tell how far forward he is in front of his neighbors. Dang! His head sure DOES look big.

[autumnraine]

Look at his hand close up. I know he's tall and has long arms, but it just looks unnatural at how it's practically straight up and down.

[Polarik]

Autumnraine:

I posted an analysis of this awhile back (and also found it to be bogus). You'll need to do a search on my name as I don't have the time to do it right now. Just type "Polarik" in the search box and select USERS from the drop down list.

When you find it, be sure to ping me.

[Chief Engineer]

Ok I checked post 6420 which has the archived article on it and Ann became ill in 1995, received treatment at Sloan Kettering in August or September before Maya started graduate school and was dead by November 7th.

[autumnraine]

Ok. Thanks Polarik! I’m sorry I missed that analysis from earlier.

[Polarik]

This image is too small to do any analysis.

[BrerLion]

That is kinda freaky looking. It does remind me of those horror movies, when the skeleton arms come shooting straight out of the grave.
