He didn’t like the number 47044 or the republic of Kenya. I think he is reading too much into that.
I don’t think Kenya was a republic at that time. Kenya didn’t become independent until 1963, although direct elections started in 1957.
So if is marked “Republic of Kenya” its probably a fake.
You know it’s funny.
Confederate Yankee and HA have declared it a horrible forgery because of the “Republic of Kenya” text...whereas I’ve seen people argue here that this is actually a sign that it’s either legitimate or a really well done forgery because of the specific political climate in Kenya and that region in 1963.
I’m still extremely agnostic regarding this whole thing but it irritates me to see people rush to call it a fake, just as much as it bugs me to see people rush to call it genuine.
WND said they have similar documents and that there are no obvious signs of a forgery. One would think given all the research they’ve done that they’d be aware of when Kenya became a republic or not...so this suggests to me the possibility that comparison documents look the same and contain the same features as this one.
Is this a forgery? I don’t know. Yes it contains oddities but that in and of itself proves nothing.
FWIW, I say, let’s see contemporaneous forms so we can see if they are indeed identical. Let a forensic document expert sample the paper and the ink used. Check into the veracity of the names used and check into the book that’s referenced at the bottom.
If any of those things fall through, then it’s a forgery. But then...one has to imagine who benefits from this kind of thing. Certainly not “birthers” who would no doubt be smeared for even considering the document could be legitimate.
At any rate...IMHO...let’s wait and see what comes from the authentication process. If it’s real, we’ll deal with the fallout then. If it’s not, that doesn’t change the fact that Obummer is a lying liar who lies and has hidden big chunks of his life from we the people. Regardless of how this specific event turns out, I truly believe we have a duty to find out what he’s trying to keep a secret.
