As I've said before, a telephone call by Madelyn Dunham to both of these newspapers, or a personal appearance at them, was all that would have needed to get these birth announcements published in 1961. However, there is also a better than even probability that the original microfilm was replaced with microfilm taken of a forged newspaper printout. I don't think that the microfilm was spliced because the type and typesetting is also off. I've explored all sides of the birth announcement debate, and my conclusion still comes down to “Big Woof!!!” THAT being said, however, the sudden "revelation" of this birth announcement, after questions about the autheticity of ZERO's COLB had been raised, and one which has a false address, coupled with the fact that no birth announcement for the Nordyke twins appears anywhere in either paper, is enough to warrant its own investigation. Anyone who insists that these birth announcements could ONLY have come directly from Vital Records and nowhere else is either ignorant of the ways things are actually done, or is deliberately lying. I spoke with the editors of both papers. I spoke with the Head of Vital Records. All of them confirmed that family members were ALWAYS permitted to submit birth announcements directly to the newspaper, and that they were NEVER crosschecked with official Vital Records. The reason is, "Why?" There is absolutely no need to verify them. A birth announcment is not a legal document and cannot be used in any probative way. It is a total nonissue in comparison to fabricating a government-issued birth certificate. You can go to jail for doing that, but there’s no penalty for placing a false birth announcement. It is not a case of false advertising. It is not identity theft. But, even a child can see the connection between the less-than-authentic BC and this less-than-authentic birth announcement.

What do you make of the odd dotted line above Obama birth announcement or the continuous line near the bottom that seems to be drawn there?

To me at least it looks like the dots are tops of some other lettering, quite possibly those Twins that were born within hours of Obama.

How funny, the Vital Records were supposed to trigger the Official Birth Announcements for the paper!

Those records were already checked and scoured by investigators and Freepers for all the variations of Barry, Barack, Dunham, Soetoro, Stanley-Ann, etc. Prior to the newspaper announcements being “discovered” there was Zero records found in the State of Hawaii for TOTUS. Two other states were searched, as well.

He wasn’t there folks, the announcements, like the COLB, and many of the photographs are in all probability BOGUS.

Here is one link from early July, three weeks prior to the “newspaper findings”. Of course the Clinton’s Private Investigators would have looked at the state records available to the public six months prior.

Thanks for the ping, Polarik.

Will have to read this later when I have time to concentrate. There are still many more questions than answers to the soap opera that is BO’s life. God help us.

So this announcement was in the Pumpkin Papers.

...However, there is also a better than even probability that the original microfilm was replaced with microfilm taken of a forged newspaper printout...

How easy would that be...with Madelyn Dunham working as a 'volunteer' at the library?
