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.

Lincoln suspended the 14th Amendment for the duration .....

TYPO POLICE:

Which showed how great Lincoln's power was considering that Lincoln was dead when the 14th Amendment was ratified. ;-)

You meant, of course, habeas corpus.

I’m just summarizing what Gatún and David have taught me.

As a Marine Corps brat, I learned that Brats born overseas were not eligible to be President. At least that’s what they taught us in the schools on the base...

Great Graphic,...thanks...I haven’t seen that before.

By not wanting to even acknowledge such a poor close relative by throwing a few, easily spared dollars his way?

Obama’s behavior toward his brother makes him a glob of dirty tobacco spittle at the bottom of a spittoon.

It started out as We The People.

Now it’s you people are getting too uppity.

We’ve fallen a long way since we were willing to revolt over a few pence tax on tea, haven’t we?

[mountainbunny]

AND - will someone please confirm that if we are in a state of war at the time of elections, the elections can be postponed or suspended by Presidential edict?

I am aware of no way for the President to suspend the elections.

For one thing, elections, even presidential elections, are run on a state-by-state basis, not federal.

More to the point, however: the United States is not in a state of war, having declared war on no one.

Why do you ask?

Rush was great today. In response to Obama’s ad criticizing McCain's 7 houses (really, Cindy's houses - one of which one of McCain's aunts live in), Rush talked about poor George and said he would send him $20.00 and almost double his yearly income.

Heck, we all ought to send him $20.00. Obama also made a promise to help one of his relative’s villages in Africa, but they haven't heard from him since he made the promise.

Figures.

I hadn’t seen that version of it before either. Thanks Ernest. I still don’t know WHO lives to the RIGHT of him.

Nearly everyone...

You might suspect that this particular release is responsive to the fraud argument rather than to support the birth in Hawaii argument as it states.

Exactly!

Lol, smarty!!
Hope your dad’s ok now!

In many ways we are greater than that generation, in others -- we have fallen. One way is that we drive cars. Everybody, nearly everybody, is a driver. That may sound trivial, but it is a great fantastic accomplishment, in a myriad of ways. Here's one -- we trust each other to follow the rules of the road, thousands upon thousands of times in a single commute to work. Only one half-second of malicious or foolish intent acted upon would result in great injury or death -- yet such instances are rare. It is a sign of a very mature and stable personality in the general overall culture.

Such a thing was unheard of centuries ago. Traveling was considered a dangerous endeavor -- because of vile habits in men who were happy to take out a traveler a day or two out from home. Even in the founder's generation men carried canes and swords regularly -- because they were regularly needed.

General literacy and high levels of hygiene are noveleties, historically speaking.

But regarding the law -- the general wisdom of it, there is a general apathy. Like a whipped dogs we cower whimpering waiting for some alpha dog to tell us when to bark.

Thanks.

Glad to hear that Nully!

thanks, staying tuned!

Indeed! Don’t get me wrong, I’m delighted to live in these times, and in this country!

This is the first time since our ancestors were forced out of the trees and onto grasslands that even the poor can afford to be fat.

The first time that a whole continent (except for Québec-silly french) could have cities without walls.

Modern America is a wondrous place, the likes of which will be fondly remembered for many millennia.

Still, easy times do not make for a tough people, do they?

We are about to have a world war.

What happens if the Russians and/or Chinese decide to use their warships to escort commercial ships into/out of islamic iranian ports to break the blockade? Do we fire on them? If we sink some, or they sink some of ours, then what?

There is a Persian saying “the sleep of a rabbit”, meaning snoozing while danger is about to strike from a hawk or an eagle or other predator. In other words not being aware(smile)

Time for all of us to wake up.

cheers

[Fred Nerks]

LOL! We’ve got his NUMBER now and still don’t know who he is.

[Calpernia]

Look on the bright side, if we go to war, the elections will get postphone.
