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

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.

From memory: He was recently freed on bail and apparently will not face harsh charges. I would have to check my notes on this. Let me know how/if important this is to you and i will search.

His mother was a US citizen so even if BHO was born in Mecca he would be born an American citizen.

But but but anywhere a muslim has ever stepped is subject to sharia law (to hear them tell it anyway!)

Already happening in the UK

Sharia law Ok by Me, says UK's top judge!

Dick Cheney could legally obtain one,

Oh, I expect SOMEONE is.

But for now...it’s devilled eggs, steaks on the grill, ribs smokin’, pitchers of lemonade and iced tea, potato salad and cole slaw...neighbors kids running around with sparkly thing-a-mabobs!

Thank you. Very good reading.

You may remember that Khomeini’s British father, Haj Abdullah Williamson, from Bristol, England, hooked up with a couple of gay sheikhs when he established himself in the Persian Gulf on the Arab side.

A must read if you missed it.

The hillary people need to file a lawsuit immediately. If they do not have the nutsack to do it, the republican surrogates need to do it. Immediately. To get it out into the open. It would have to go fastrack and be determinative prior to the Denver gig.

As long as the problem is dealt with, I guess that’s the
important thing. We don’t need to find out 2 years into the future that a possible president is not a legal citizen!

Of course, we are all hoping (and praying!) that it will be a moot point because we’ve elected a Republican to the office!

That's if an original Certificate of Birth from Hawaii exists.

Oh. Never mind.

I don't think at the time 'bastard' would be on the BC.

Can't we expect a little accuracy on a government document?

Good catch on the slip of the tongue there. Cleaning up my act now......

Watch it, buster. This is a family FRiendly forum. We'll have no tongue slipping around here. ;^)

[TigersEye]

That's just what this election needs now; a government sanctioned immaculate conception!!!

ROFL!

McCain's only counter move would be to claim he is Moses. Can anyone here photo-shop a hieroglyphic BC?

The resolution of an electronic image -- in this case the image contained within the JPEG -- has nothing to do with displaying or printing.

What term would you use to describe the number of pixels that should appear per unit distance when the image is rendered at normal size? While the term "resolution" has many uses, I am unaware of any other good term to describe the above measurement. I suppose one could use "pixel density" or "dots per inch", but I've not seen the former term used for that purpose, and the latter term is rather clunky (it would be akin to saying that the miles-per-hour of a car was 55).

Do you have the capability to reverse this picture in order to read what it says above? This appears to be in an airport, hotel, etc; but is passed off as a wedding picture in the Time magazine. In the time magazine it states that Stanley Ann Dunham was 3 months pregnant and "Nobody was invited" to the wedding.

I attended JC with Iranian students.Kids from well to do families-mostly high level govermental officials.They’d listen to tapes made by Khomeni(in exile in France at the time).They claimed the Shah and SAVAK were opressive,and Khomeni would change all that.Looks like reality is far different.

I think the new law was retroactive.

Obama provides details of his birth weight in Dreams From My Father; “Hm. Well, my mother told me as a kid what my birthweight was (9 pounds 15 ounces), and I remembered it from that. I don’t remember seeing a copy of my birth certificate until I was 15 and getting my learner’s permit, and I didn’t look at the birth weight section. I’m 43, and I couldn’t tell you where the birth weight section on my birth certificate is–I just remember that it’s on green paper…”

Is that in his book? Does anyone else think it a little odd to discuss looking at your birth certificate? Seems contrived to me, like he is starting a line of fiction regarding his birth certificate... like maybe there is a known difficiency in it?

[gidget7]

In this case, frauding the American electorate, is a crime. And if that is a fraudulent document on his website, that is exactly what it is.

The issue is not citizenship, the issue is whether he is a natural-born citizen. From the number of such comments here, it seems that there are a lot of people don't know that there is a difference between citizen and natural-born citizen. Having only one parent a citizen makes it possible that "natural-born" does not apply.

They had HOPE, they wanted CHANGE.

It looks like the sign on the left says, “Philippine Airlines.”

Not according to many things I’ve read, and nothing in the law says that it’s retro-active: http://tinyurl.com/2z899t
