You got me fireman15, I am a troll therefore you should be rewarded for exposing me (extreme sarcasm). Kenya became independent on December 12 1963 but not declared a Republic until December 12 1964. This document is as fake as CBS documents about President Bush national guard service. It is ironic that Free Republic discovered the CBS fake documents but now we have freepers posting a fake document and trying to tell us that it is authentic.

no way of knowing if Kenya used the term republic and when they used. It needs to be verified. Monday should change a lot of thoughts about this!

We don't know yet what wording Kenyan documents made during the interim were using. Worldnet is currently claiming to have other similar documents: WND was able to obtain other birth certificates from Kenya for purposes of comparison, and the form of the documents appear to be identical.

I suggest holding off calling it a fake just on the basis of the phrase "Republic of Kenya" until we know what language other, authenticated documents were using. It may well be that this document can be invalidated quite easily just on that language --- but we don't know that yet. If Worldnet will post these other documents, we may be able to have quick clarification on this point.

What about WND saying they viewed simliar documents from the same timeframe and they match except for the details of the names and such (of course).

If this is accurate that means either all documents in 1964 were fake...or you may be mistaken.

We need to give this forgery credit. It's a bit better done than the TANG doc forgery.
