I lived thru the 2010 ‘Kenyan Birth Certificate’ hoax on Free Republic.
The forger ended up mocking Freepers after 3 weeks of watching them stay up all night analyzing his awkward forgery.
Threads at that time were running over 1,000 posts.
Moslems and Marxists pull the same Disinformation tricks year after year because they WORK.
Communism ‘makes everyone equal.’ That lie has worked every year for the past 150 years.
They figure out what ppl want to believe, then they hand it to you in the form of THE BIG LIE.
Also, the Shrimpton ‘born in Kenya’ video recently popped up after 7 years hiding under a rock?
This Kenya hoax worked before, it’s working today, and in 3 years they’ll roll it out again.

The 2009 claims of Lucas Smith and going forward are NOT the same as the 2009 Bomford/Lavender BC hoax boasted convincingly, IMO, to have punked eligibility activists by an Obot. Do not conflate Smith’s BC with Bomford or Blaine forgeries, please! And please do not use conflation of proved forgeries with still open BC investigations to dissuade FReepers from participating in further BC investigations. Just because Obots have created many fake BCs to throw us off doesn’t mean Smith’s BC is fake. Smith’s BC must be evaluated on its own forensic characteristics.
IMO as a retired CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), the Lucas Smith claims have never been conclusively debunked on any single point, despite whatever shortcomings Smith may have personally.
In Sept. 2009 Lucas Smith showed up in federal court in Orly’s case before Judge Carter with an affidavit swearing on penalty of perjury that his 2009 certified copy of a Kenyan BC for Barry was obtained by him by bribing officials...thereby inviting federal prosecution by Eric Holder...which never happened. I wonder why that is. Could it be that prosecution of Smith would have required DISCOVERY of whether his Coast Province General Hospital BC was genuine?
Smith filed a second affidavit in 2009 in Judge Carter’s court claiming that Orly asked Smith to perjure himself by testifying that he was the one who obtained the Bomford BC from Kenya and gave it to Orly. Judge Carter apparently found Smith’s affidavit to be so persuasive that he admonished Taitz from the bench, to which she loudly objected. Full disclosure: I had given money to Taitz up to this episode and I also found Smith’s affidavit to be persuasive, despite his record as a convicted felon.
In 2013 Smith published a pristine clear scan of the CPGH BC with detail of the baby’s footprint so clear that subpoena of Barry’s foot in a discovery ordered by a federal court could determine whether the BC was genuine.
As I said, that image is at the link to the new BirtherReport article.
I invite FReepers to carefully follow Smith’s new claims and to subject them to the highest level of skepticism and scrutiny.
It would help for a Spanish speaking FReeper to help translate the document that Smith claims is some kind of evidence that the Dominican Republic is trying to extradite him. Also, a translation of Dominican Rep. extradition statutes would help, if anyone is interested.
