Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

[SE Mom]

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.

The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.

Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.

McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

Someone wanted to put this material in play, but this sure isn’t the way to do it (unless it’s pre-emptive strike from a Soros-groupie who wants to discredit this whole line of inquiry.

Bingo!

Thanks for posting that. I didn't expect that from MoDo.
I guess she's still pining for Hillary?

10 to 1 odds the clintonistas were the source. They, better than anyone (I'm speaking of Bill Clinton mostly), would understand illegal foreign campaign contributions. The Chicoms contributed millions ... and in turn were given access to our top rocket guidance & weapon technology.

The sign says “Philippine Airlines”...probably already pointed out, but nevertheless.

[Fred Nerks]

surely you’ve all seen this....(the beginning) where we are led to believe the ‘palestinians’ are contacting potential (muslim?) voters in the US, encouraging them to vote for obama...

My interpretation would be they are soliciting MONEY from around the middle east to be sent PAYPAL to the obama campaign.

I absolutely agree and remember all of those threads. China IS connected to East Africa too.

This is why I strongly suggest that we refer this to ICE.gov. If falls under their juristication, they can investigate and prosecute (if needed), they have the resources, they are under Homeland Security, we already pay them (taxes), this is more than a forged ID-it is a National Security issue.

If he was born in Hawaii he has the same right to be president as any anchor baby born in Calixco.

Ah. But that is the point. The "anchor baby" has no right to become President if at the time of his birth his parents were not U.S. citizens. The "anchor baby" may be a citizen, but does not qualify as "natural-born."

The reason that the issue is important regarding Nobama is because his father was not a citizen, and his mother may/or may not qualify to be the sole parent of a "natural born" citizen.

The Maureen Dowd internet fundraising story may have been faked. It wasn’t on the NY Times web site for Jun 29th.
This page is from Obama’s site, but it confirms this story was not by Maureen Dowd

I saw that, too, but it doesn't add much to the story. The DeCosta and Obama certificates are pretty obviously on a different template without examining them this closely. This other legitimate birth certificate appears to use the same template as the Obama/McKinnon certificate.

[SE Mom]

You’re right -it doesn’t add much- but it affirms quite a bit.

Your template does appear the same or similar- where did you find it?

[Calpernia]

Maybe the Dowd story was faked to create a smoke screen that Obama was listed as a recipient from Norman Hsu?

Is Jay McKinnon any relation to Mark McKinnon????

[PhatHead]

His mother would have had an up to date passport on which the son, probably known as Barry Dunham, and later adopted as Soetoro, would have been included. Minor children don't require their own passports, do they?

I guess I don't know what the law was in 1961, but when I flew overseas in 1987, my newborn son needed a passport. If the law was the same in 1961, and BHO was born in Kenya, as some here suggest as a reason to forge a US birth certificate, then how did he even manage to enter the country?

This forged birth certificate matters, I think, but the story of birth in Kenya just carries less and less credibility the more I try to learn where that rumor started. And if he was born in Hawaii, then the forged online certificate proves nothing, that will have any significant political impact.

I still think, if indeed the certificate on Obama's official site is derived from the forged one (as it appears to be) the campaign needs to respond in some way - such as producing his actual certificate, on paper, for a legitimate news organization to examine.

Actually I want to know what his real name is and what race is noted as on his birth certificate.

Why he won’t release it is just silly.

[PhatHead]

That was posted on another thread here on FR last week or so. The owner was a FReeper, but I’m afraid I kept only this link, not the original thread. This image only affirms that the state does use slightly different templates, so that analysis showing the templates are different between DeCosta and BHO doesn’t really mean much. The Kos forgery looks like this template.

Well it appears that the out of character MoDo article on the Obamination’s funding was phoney.

No wonder I couldn’t find it on the internet last night before I crawled off to bed:

The Maureen Dowd internet fundraising story may have been faked. It wasn’t on the NY Times web site for Jun 29th.
This page is from Obama’s site, but it confirms this story was not by Maureen Dowd.

Thanks to PhillyGuy1 for this reply and to the others who spotted the fake column and pinged us.

Thanks for the warning:

I’m guessing that the Maureen Dowd article is bogus. It doesn’t match up with her June 29th column in the NYT...

:-(

[Calpernia]

It will be interesting to see if Dowd investigates the source. Or if she silently condones the identity fraud of her name being used.

“Trust but Verify???”

Jim, we could go all day with this...;-)

But at the end of the day, does this hold water???

Two things could happen...

One, this is true and he is not able to take office, even if he wins the election...

Two, Hillary is asked by the democrat party to take the nomination, and make a weak attempt to rally the party and lose to McCain...To which she obviously doesn’t match up too well against...

I’m torn between these two possibilities...

If there are more out there, I’m game to listen...

This is actually kinda fun...

But don’t blame me, I voted for Fred...;-)

[SE Mom]

Odd, isn’t it? I’ve followed the various trackbacks and it’s still not easy to discover where the piece originated.

It seemed like a spoof at first reading- but it doesn’t have enough obvious satire to be a joke.

Hard to know just what to make of this one- but that’s SOP in this election cycle.
