Yes, agreed. Have you seen my analysis and graphic on that earlier in this thread?
The first step was to grab a white background abstract, perhaps only available in Hawaii, but possibly elsewhere. Second step was to change the typewritten text, somewhat painstaking but very doable. Third step was to change date rubber stamps. One way is to cut/paste date pieces from elsewhere.
Fourth, and an odd but necessary mistake, was to cut/paste the Alvin T Onaka rubber stamp onto the white background forgery. That was bad since that rubber stamp is supposed to go on the green hash paper post-printing. It was the only serious forgery mistake in this theory. (BTW, it isn't TXE, it is THE, as I have finally been able to see in the high res AP image).
Because of that mistake, the WH PDF does not show the proper green hash background under the ATO rubber stamp. Fifth step was to print the white background forgery onto green hash paper, the way the registrar would do it in Hawaii. Step six was to emboss a seal onto the paper artifact
Now they were ready to show it to Guthrie who took two two crummy low-res photos and didn't bother inspecting the seal. As a witness to history, she basically peed her pants.
Next they made many copies of the green hash paper artifact on a B/W copier. Next they emailed the WH PDF down to the obfuscation room where some 23 year old played with layers and thresholding SW (might be one of the same morons we are forced to watch on utube explaining that document layering is a little known fact).
Finally, they released their two electronic artifacts. AP made a third electronic artifact by scanning the B/W xerox. But some well-meaning idiot also decide to release the high res white background image to AP to bolster the case for native birth (probably just a koolaid drinker with no brain).
That's about it, do you think I've left anything out?
