Why bring her into it? If what they were after was Stig’s COLB, Stig could have asked the HDOH for it himself. In fact, CNN presented the video footage as Stig picking up the BC he had requested.
But in that article, Monica said they were trying to round HER up to see the birth certificate, to compare it to Obama’s. Not like they were going to have somebody ask for a birth certificate and see what they would get; that wouldn’t require them talking to Stig’s mom.
Could it be that the HDOH pointed CNN to Stig’s mother because THEY wanted to make sure Stig’s mother didn’t have a long-form any more? They told her they wanted to see Stig’s BC to compare it to Obama’s. She didn’t have a BC so they knew the coast was clear, so then they had her ask for a COLB, flew him in to Hawaii, and had the HDOH give him one that showed an altered BC# on it. Then 2 days later Obama could show the world an HDOH-fabricated BC with the BC# that belonged to Stig.
Everything you theorize is certainly possible except Stig didn’t need to be flown in, I believe that he lives in Hawai’i, in Honolulu.
When he said that he didn’t have a copy of his birth certificate, it made good visuals for CNN to take him to HDOH to get one and his mother saying that she actually remembered seeing a black baby in the nursery made for an even better story.
Because my situation is similar to his in that I have no idea where my original birth certificate is but I think it is at my parents’ house (I’ve gotten by with a short form print out for the last thirty years), if someone wanted to see my copy of my original long form, I would direct them to my parents.
Also, blacks are currently only 2% of Hawaii’s population. I imagine that it was less than 1% in 1960, so a black child would stand out in a Honolulu nursery.
