The only way to find out if the scanned image is real is to go to Hawaii and see the records in person. Doing analysis on a compressed .jpg scan will not help.
If we knew what the originals from the source in question looked like, we could do some basic analysis, but without that information, we are just wasting time.
This isn’t a Dan Rather moment. There are no antique fonts or stamps that have been screwed up. We need to know what the real thing should look like.
I presume by the originals from the source in question you mean an ACCEPTED CoLB clearly showing a SEAL and certification signature/stamp/date on the reverse, and the certificate number NOT blacked out?
In the name of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
LIKE THIS ONE?
Walter Cronkite, Jennings, MacNeil-Lerner -- all jokes. But the legend of the infallibility of major network news and news anchors was accepted as undeniable. And still is accepted by many. Especially the older voters who vote in higher percentages than most other demographic groups.
This whole mass denial about Obama's birth legend is similar. There's a clear Constitutional requirement for the highest office in this land, in this the most powerful nation in the history of the world -- a position wielding awesome power. And this man clearly has problems in meeting it. Maybe, in the end, after all corners and crannies searched out, all aunts and cousins interviewed, all i's dotted and t's crossed, maybe, he comes out passable. But the FACTS say that is unlikely. Yet a whole lot of rational American adults are in denial.
To them the call for serious vetting of this man's credentials and birth legends is ridiculous. Well that's just denial. Mass delusional denial. This same kind of mass delusion that gave us 50 plus years of mass media ruination and lies. I'm sick of it.
