I won't bet against you on that, as I think you're right. I think they have more, MUCH more than that, though. I'm content to let the CCP work the issue on their timeline.
I’ve said this before, but...
The BO team didn’t take into account that (a) there are many newspaper stands which sell or have sold “home town” newspapers for people who have moved far away, and (b) sometimes people like to hold onto (whole) old newspapers (not just clippings) for pure sentimental/historic reasons.
And there are MANY of these people. Fiddling with a few rolls of library microfilm can’t change that.
Pray for the safety of this team and their work.
Over a year ago I read some comment on a blog which stated that the writer had seen - in person - a actual vintage original newspaper which had obamas birth announcement right where it should be. Said he/she was in a library researching material, which I can not recall the subject of at the moment, and on a whim they decided to check with the librarian on if there was a copy at that location.
The story was that he/she was given access and saw with their own eyes this newspaper birth announcement of obamas. I don’t recall if they mentioned if it was the Honolulu Advertiser or the Star Bulletin, however I don’t think they did. It was sort of like the person who claimed to have seen the second obama birth announcement the day after Lori Starfelt sent the first copy to Texas Darling.
He said he never thought much of it as he had expected it to be there because of the microfilm copies that had gone public.
There were several of us on that thread that kept trying to get him to tell which library it was. He never did. He wouldn’t even tell me which STATE it was in, claiming that since he had to sign a log book, he was afraid someone might be able to ID him and expose his real identity.
Based on the info he had let drop about the expose article he had been doing the research for - I checked out the libraries in that area, and none of them had the actual newspaper.
That was the single time anyone has ever claimed to have seen the actual printed paper to my knowledge.
