Sometimes, you don't always find what it is that you're seeking on the Internet. At least, not when you could have really used it.
I decided today to search through the web archives to locate other COLB images that have not been seen since their original posting. What I found was downright shocking!
First, props to Brian Ledbetter and his blog, The Snapped Shot, for providing both the references to my original, June 20 post, and for providing what was presented as "proof positive" that the Kos image was genuine. The "proof" provided was an animated GIF showing the DeCosta COLB morphing into the Kos COLB.
The conclusion reached by the eager detractors and debunkers of my theories was that the similarities between the two prove that both images are genuine, and that all of the differences I found in the Kos image -- the anomalies of the text -- were, and I quote:
"inconsistencies that've been pointed out can now be attributed to scanning/copying/encoding/transmission artifacts."
Or, the SOS, the same old stuff that every detractor has tried to postulate as the only reasons for the vagaries of the Kos.
A light went off in my head, and lights were flashing.
Unwittingly, the creator of this GIF just provided me with the smoking gun I needed that conclusively proves my theory!
After cropping both the Kos image and the DeCosta image down to just the outer edges of the borders, I decreaed them proportionately to 921 x 903 pixels each.
First, the Decosta image:
Now the Kos image:
To make my case even stronger, I performed Sobel edge detection on each image, and then created an animated GIF from both to demonstrate the closeness of the alignment.
They overlapped perfectly. Presenting, the DE-KOS-TA composite:
OK, like what are the odds of having two COLBs, one that we know was from Sep 9, 2002, and one that was 'allegedly' from June 9, 2007, with different border patterns, lining up perfectly on the placements of the borders, images, headers & footers, text fields, and data fields?
Like the odds of winning the lottery.
What are the odds that the Kos image was manufactured directly from the DeCosta image?
Take the odds! You'll win every time.
For comparison purposes, here is a composite of the DeCosta image with an overlay of Michele's image (another genuine COLB):
As you can see, although the top of the COLB image is similarly placed -- which is what you would expect it to be -- there is quite a difference in the placement of the text, which is also expected given the different time periods in which they were originally produced.
But, what is not expected are the anomalies in the Kos image. From where did the other date come? Why does it seem like the 'hidden seal' on the Kos image is smaller and shifted up and to the left relative to the DeCosta image? Why is the date stamp on the Kos in a different place? Why does this date stamp look so prominent on the Kos when the 'hidden seal' is hardly visible?" Why is the font of the Kos date stamp different from the DeCosta date stamp when everything else is the same?
These questions certainly do not detract from the fact that the DeCosta image served as the basis for the Kos, but it raises the question as to whether there was a second COLB -- one that could have been Obama's -- but contained information that he did not want to release to the public.
After all, the first one used for the forgery belonged to someone other than Obama.
Since I created my Kos clone to be the same size as the Kos, there is no doubt that an enlarged copy of the smaller DeCosta image became the "canvas" for the Kos "original. Then, copious amounts of cutting and pasting from another COLB's background was done to cover up the existing information, followed by typing directly onto the copied background while in Photoshop, or another image editor.
The bottom line is that the Kos was never a true copy of Obama's birth record, if it ever existed as a COLB. There is nothing to rule out the copying of parts from a second COLB (such as the background, seal stamp, and date stamp) belonging to someone other than Obama.
To me, this case is closed.
Now, the only thing left for me to do is to follow the same procedure I used to create the Kos clone shown in my previous post (which was made from Michele's COLB) by using the Decosta COLB as the starting point for the Kos clone.
THEN, we can now bid adieu to the doubters, the detractors, and the debunkers who were way off course with their rebuttals, and welcome back the faithful who never waivered from that nagging feeling that what they were looking at, was a fake!
All hail the DE-KOS-TA image.
But when was DeCostas CoLB scanned and posted on the internet?
That's a good question, I had always assumed that the DeCosta COLB had been provided as proof of the fraud after the fact now it appears that it has been on the net for a while and could be the source document for the fraud.
IT would not matter to Obamanuts if their messiah turned out to be a serial child killer than John Wayne Gacy. For the rest of the known thinking country I think that the issue of fraud and the complicity of those involvede in it outweighs the citizenship issue.
Thanks, and welkl-said yourself!
None as Michele's June 30, 2008 COLB also had the same wording. The language was changed because the function of "State Registrar" was recently turned over to the Director of Health.
Thank you, and “Yes,” I’m making sure to look over my shoulder.
I'd also be happy if it only nailed the Daily Kos and the HuffingtonPost.
Well, what about the condition of the organ that sits between his ears?
I wasn't serious about the circumcision thing, but haa anyone seen Obama pet a dog?
Which was the primary issue raised by my very first posting on June 20. I said then, and now, that the text on Obama's COLB was not produced by a laser printer, but was typed in by a graphics program AFTER the image had been created.
As another had noted, very rarely does a sheet of paper go through a printer in exactly the same position as an other sheet. Typically, you will never find that all of the text is oriented perfectly North and South, with perfectly straight lines.
Even a Linotronic doesn't print exact duplicates.
Thanks very much, folks. I tried to take a layman’s approach to explaining the discrepancies which are not contingent upon Photoshop or another complicated program being used at all.
(p>
The Kos clone I made was done with a very simple, Windows 98 graphics program called WebPaint.
I think that since Obama Sr. was a citizen of Kenya, Africa, and not a U.S. citizen, his "RACE" would not be listed as NEGRO or BLACK, in light of your Roger Whittaker fact. The question that should be answered is "How did Hawaii classify the different races of SOUTH AFRICA?
All that someone has to do is raise this question to Obama in a press conference and wait to here his answer.
I am convinced the document is fake. Techdude has the credentials to detect computer genenerated forgeries. I read an article that listed his credentials.
I’m not sure what is being said here.
The DeCosta image came out AFTER many of us here questioned the Birth Certificate to begin with. We asked for someone in Hawaii to provide a COLB for review. The DeCosta BC was provided and you and others used it to show the differences between it and the that posted at Daily Kos and Obama site.
ARE YOU NOW SAYING, that someone at Kos and Obama site took the DeCosta image and then RE DID the Obama COLB, which in the process now gave us the “seal”?
If that’s what you’re saying then that truly is a smoking gun.
In summary then, are you saying that the current Daily Kos and Obama COLB are DIFFERENT from the ones that were originally posted at these sites?

No he wasn't, because there's no end to that pr*ck.
>>>The MSM adore BHO so much, that it would take an atom bomb to blow a hole through its collective
My dear, I think someone has sent up the bomb.

The “surge” that threatens Obama
How about Freeping all of Obama’s campaign stops with signs, asking him to produce his original COLB????? Enough of us show up, maybe some smalltown journalist will pickup the story????
It’s a nice idea, some possible signs:
“Where was Barry Dunham, in Sixty-One-um?!?”
“Maw, Maw, where was Paw? - keeping you from the White House, haw, haw haw!”
“No more stories, no more lies, were you native born, or naturalized?!?”
“John Kerry wouldn’t show his papers, let’s see yours!”
“Condemn the kids at KoS, and say ‘no mas!’ SHOW US YOUR PAPERS BARRY!”
Thanks for the information. That is very helpful.
LOL
