Ownership of the property, be it number 6035/6055/6085 during recent years may also point the finger at WHO ‘planted’ the birth announcement - remember, all we have seen of that is a snippet, no name of newspaper or date published (that I know of.)
What was the source of that little snip?
There could also be a link to that owner and the CoLB with the date stamp of June 2007 (IIRC) on the reverse.
My imagination is running riot...maybe that’s where Janice Okubo or Maya Soetoro-Ng live?
That birth announcement was in the Sunday, August 13th 1961 edition of (drumroll please) “The Honolulu Advertiser”. I saw it at TD’s blog and went back to look at it again on a hunch because according to info the paper got their announcement details from Vital Stats and published them every Sunday. According to the woman who gave TD the announcement, each week hospitals would give birth info to Vital Stats and they in turn would provide a list to the paper. I still believe that either grandma or grandpa registered the birth which in turn generated the announcement in the paper!
What was the source of that little snip?
A poster on Texas Darlin's site found the announcement as a news article reporting the Vital Statistics for the period. Copies of additional parts of the page were also published purporting to show the article as being from the Honolulu Advertiser on August 13, 1961. I accept this at face value for the moment.
The poster says she contacted the paper; that the announcement would have been generated by information filed with the Department of Health. That in turn leads back to an inquiry as to what information was in fact filed.
As you may know, I have speculated for some time that we would find some form of affidavit, or affidavit of home birth, or other information alleging his birth in Hawaii, filed on August 8. If I had been creating it on the facts we know about, I would have put his footprint on it even if it was only an affidavit by mother or grandmother (because it would demonstrate that he was in fact in Honolulu on August 8).
All of that would leave open the question of how he got to Honolulu on August 8.
Further, the actual filing may not be that clear from our perspective--if I had been Obama's lawyer at the inception of this process and I had the affidavit with his footprint on it, I would have gone with that rather than the forgery.
The message in the forgery is that there is some factual disclosure in the actual filing that casts doubt on the position that he was actually born in Honolulu--otherwise they shouldn't have tried to use the forged document. On the other hand, these people are not very smart or very good--and they have made lots of mistakes; this is the kind of "throw it at the wall and see if it sitcks" tactic you might see from a novice lawyer. It may turn out they have a better position on the real filed data.
