Yo, Lucy, Pissant: you're gonna want to ping this baby 'cause this TechDude hooey keeps coming back like a bad penny.
ATLAS EXCLUSIVE: TechDude's Makes Funky Fakes
Ok, fasten your seat belts and put your tables in an upright position: it's gonna be a bumpy ride back through time.From ATLAS SHRUGGS, July 20 2008
The following analysis was conducted using various Hawaiian COLBS issued over a multi-year time frame ranging from 2001 through 2008 but this report will focus only on the results from the March 2007 through June 2008 certificates for accurately comparing against the KOS image purportedly printed by the Health Department of Hawaii in June 2007.
I am only interested in comparing apples to apples as they say but I will touch on some of the other years for a brief comparative and observational analysis.
Since the image presented is a graphical image and not a physical certificate I made the concerted effort to track down known good certificates and certificates images to use for the analysis. Thanks to several individuals I managed to collect and review multiple images of certificates issued between 2001 through 2003 all of which bore an identical layout to the previous Decosta image which was issued during the same time frame.
Str-re-er-r-rike One! TechDude swipes these COLB's right off the Internet, and did not have anyone send them to him. Sure they resemble the ones on the Net, because werealready on the Net: Jason Tomoyasu, PAt DeCosta, and Jeremy Smith.
By separating the certificate issue dates into groups the pre-2006 certificates show a clearly different security border design than the more recent 2006 through 2008 design
Str-re-er-r-rike Two! TechDude claims that all the 2006 through 2008 COLBs bore an identical layout. The borders are changed every single year.
Several more certificate images and physical certificates were also sent to me of certificates issued between 2006 through 2008 directly by their respective owners. All of the 2006 through 2008 certificates bore an identical layout to one another
. Except that here is a photo of actual 2007 COLB border taken from a real 2007 COLB. Notice how clearly is the Seal showing through from the front:
And here is a genuine scan of the 2007 COLB. Notice how clearly showing through is the Seal and stamps
The embossed seals and ink stamps in all of the pre-2006 images are clearly visible in the scans however none of the post-2006 seals or ink stamps are visible without extensive manipulation to the digital images. Str-re-er-r-rike Three! Yer outta here!
OK, folks. Here's the box scores:
- The 2007 COLBlooks nothing like the 2008 Michele COLB
- The 2007 COLB looks like the 2007 KOS COLB
- The Seal in the 2007 COLB shows through the front of the photo without any manipulations
- The Seal and Stamps in the 2007 COLB shows through the front without any manipulations
- The text layout on the KOS COLB does not match Michele's COLB
- The text layout on the KOS COLB does match the 2007 COLB
- The borders on the KOS COLB are differently sized than the 2007 COLB
