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.

You seriously don't think these two are the same kid?

I pick on this because it looks to me as though the poster is someone who has just registered and is at least suspect.

Incidentally, seniority does not automatically gives you the right to being correct nor makes my posting be ...suspicious. If you lack arguments, be a man and stand by your post instead of attacking the date of my becoming a FReeper so please abstain yourself from making ungrounded and adolescent arguments. If it were for me to judge people by their military service than I should say that your lack of service is at least...suspect! Oddly enough, this issue has been brought forward by many who have joined FR and stopped posting shortly after because of the elitism shown by some old timers. Some of the people who are no longer active members are people who are members of my state RNC leadership and I believe them to have devoted a lot of their personal time to our cause. I have yet to see such arrogance coming from them on the newcomers as the one you express here. In this way the FR membership will suffer as, I already seen it be a worrisome issue posted by others here, already is.
Cheers!

P.S. I posted incorrectly earlier so here's my second part of my reply to you!

What did Ted say in his analysis?

You seriously think siblings don’t resemble each other at various growth stages? They are half brothers. I think the airport one looks like Malik.

Hint, You need to put Davids name in the (To) box if you want him to see it.

You apparently just clicked on your own response which then automatically put your own name in the (To) box.

Uh, ok...whatever.

Jerry Ford was similarly situated. He seemed to have had some imaginary visits with his father that he recalled perfectly. Then there's the interesting case of George Washington ~ raised by his brother... he went on to become President of the two times and, in fact, founded the United States of America.

Did you say folks like Ford and Washington were too unstable?

At least you didn’t find it my goofing ... suspect because of being a newbie :) Point well taken, I was simply not paying attention!

Here are some other Sept 1, 1971 sources (who knows!)

SOETORO, MAYA born 09/01/1971 returned 1 Match

Looks like Obama Sr. planned a trip back to Kenya in 1961.

Why would Stanley Ann be excited about her husband returning to Kenya if she wasn’t going too? She visited her classmate Susan Blake with a then new born BHO.

*Susan Blake, another high-school classmate, said that during a brief visit in 1961, Dunham was excited about her husband’s plans to return to Kenya.

A side note: Dunham supposedly returned to Seattle in 1962 to live there for awhile.

*The marriage was brief. By 1962, Dunham had returned to Seattle as a single mother, enrolling in the UW for spring quarter and living in an apartment on Capitol Hill. But friends said she got overwhelmed and returned to her family in Hawaii, and formally divorced Obama Sr. in 1964.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2004334057_obama08m.html

But many are now saying BHO Sr and Stanley were never married which means they were never divorced. Some also think Stanley was sent to a home for un-wed mothers, very common in that day, in either Canada or Seattle area. Which is why it would make sense for her to be placed in Mercer Island a few weeks after Obama’s birth, per Stanley's high school friend Susan Blake.

Very doubtful that Stanley had the baby and within a few weeks got on a several hour plane ride with a newborn infant, when she didn't even know how to change a diaper per her visit with Susan Blake. Maybe nuns or whoever were in charge of the un-wed mother's home were helping her and she took a day trip to see her friend.

She then enrolled in college again at UW for Spring, 1962. Maybe she left HI in the Spring of 1961 and stopped seeing BHO Sr because he was still taking classes in HI. Most of the HI college friends said Stanley stopped coming to their weekend coffee get togethers. Wonder if Stanley ever thought of giving BHO up for adoption, but then changed her mind.

Gad ~ first find a true story coming from Indonesia.

BTW, welcome to FR.

Love your tagline...

Maybe she did plan to put Barry up for adoption but her mother and father took him instead. 1961 was not a good year for African-American babies who needed adoption.

Frankly if I had a daughter showing up with stray kids I think I'd make every effort to keep them in the family.

What you might find in those records in Hawaii is some indication that he was adopted.

[PhatHead]

It’s still a big heap o’ nothing so far.

Yes, I sent another reply to your earlier post. No doubt IsraelInsider got the story wrong.

What I really can't figure out is why so many people have latched onto this Kenya thing. I just haven't seen a single thing to suggest that he was born there and numerous reports, going back to before he was a presidential candidate, to support the standard biography.

[Baladas]

There’s yet ANIOTHER dubious birth certificate out there - from Kenya.

This is the best “debunkment” of the Hawaiian one I’ve seen yet:

though I’[m still skeptical of some parts.

[Political Junkie Too]

Maybe he's saying that he has already posted (as a lawyer) quite extensively on the legal issues over the past few weeks on this topic, and the tone of your post suggests that you are unaware of this?

Try browsing his posts for the past few weeks and see the history of his legal arguments, on both Obama and McCain. Then come back and tell us if he "lacks arguments."
