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.

But candidates must have to file some sort of proof they are natural citizens, right?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

This new admission, I believe, forces the Obama campaign to respond in some way. If their only response is simply to remove the fake BC, the issue grows. If they respond with a legitimate birth certificate, it's over.

Obama's move.

Makes sense to me....

7:24 OAHU - Iamaphorgarie
7:24 OAHU - Barack Obama

Obama’s people cannot be this stupid. We have a “phorgarie” and Obama’s birth certificate having the same time and place of birth.

PURSUE! PURSUE!

[I’ll bet that Hillary had all this information]

That’s my thinking too, I think the clinton’s are just waiting for this to come to light from a source other than themselves.

[brityank]

Yep.
Without verification of his true birth certificate, there can be no definitive answer. I'm also sure the clinton's will not let him get away with anything. Will be interersting to see the outcome of the Dem convention, could be quite an eye-opener.

[P-Marlowe]

Great find on that court decision. Can it really be used against Obama?

Well, Obama is a liberal democrat, so probably not.

If Obama can't produce a valid birth certificate, then he can't prove that his mother was a US Citizen.

every Muslim, the minute he can differentiate, carries hate of Americans, Jews & Christians - OBL

So they have to wait until they learn calculus!

[Anti-Bubba182]

I don’t know.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Hey,...I’ll vouch for you too....even if you are down under.

VOTE FOR BARRY DUNHAM! CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN! LOL!

"The only thing I can think of that he wouldn’t want us to see is that maybe he wasn’t born Barrack Husein Obama but Barry Dunham."

Suppose it said Barry Dunham and Father: Unknown??

[fanfan]

Aha!

Watson my FRiend, I tire.

Upon arising, I will turn my attention to the enigma presented herein.

[AmericaUnited]

If they respond with a legitimate birth certificate, it's over.

Absolutely, positively NOT! If they certified to the world that the BC on the official site was the real one and in fact it is not or ANY, REPEAT, ANY of the info is changed, they are screwed big time and it would not be over in the least. Pundit after pundit would examine this and wonder why they would be so incredibly STUPID to have put the fake out.

Plus, if they present a valid certificate that is dead identical to the one shown, there is still a big question of why his certificate says "Date Filed" vs "Dated Accepted".

[David]

It has nothing to do with her 16th birthday. You guys just make up crap.

Nonsense. When Obama was born, 8 USCA Sec. 1401(g) (then Sec. 1401(7)) said that a child born outside the United States where only one of two parents was a US Citizen (the other being an alien) was a citizen but only if the U S Citizen parent had lived in the US for least ten years prior to the birth of which ten years, at least five years were after the age of 16. The statue was amended in November of 1986 but only with respect to children born after that date.

[rumrunner]

Sorry for being a bit behind the curve on this, but I understand that Obama has a link to his “birth certificate” on his website. How do we know that the image on his birth certificate is the same one as that douns on the Daily Kos? I would think that Obama would be the one that would give it to the media and not some random blogger.

[Enchante]

"If Obama can't produce a valid birth certificate, then he can't prove that his mother was a US Citizen."

No valid B.C. ======> no proof of who his parents were

=======> no proof of who he is

=======> no proof he is a natural-born US citizen

Is this all a set-up to embarrass/discredit critics who jump on it, or is Barry truly unable to prove he meets the requirement of the US Constitution that he be a natural born US citizen if he hopes to serve as POTUS?

WHO IS THIS GUY?

==================================================

OBAMA: "That's not the fraudulent birth certificate I knew!"

Again, if born in Hawaii, and considering the nature of the times (1961), they'd use whatever words they'd think normal.

"Black" wouldn't be among them. Hawaii is nearer the Equator and there are vast numbers of folks there with "full tans", with those who work outdoors frequently best being described as "burned black".

"Race", in 1961, in Hawaii, would require different answers than anything you've yet suggested.
