Way back in mid-June, when I first discovered that the Obama COLB image was forged, I also made the observation that the border on the Obama COLB also looked like it had been manufactured. I correctly stated that this border was created separately and added to the final forged image.
Oh, and did that get a howl from my detractors and critics! Yeah, but I knoew that I was right all along.
Well, I'm here to tell you that, through deliberate trial-and-error, I've finally produced a near-clone of the original border, by getting as close as humanly possible to duplicating the color, resolution, and patterns in the 2007 Obama COLB border.
This is HUGE! -- a smoking gun if ever there was one -- that the entire Obama COLB image was forged by patching together pieces from at least two COLB images. It also shows that this border took a lot of extra work to get it to look the way it does. There is no way on Earth that this border could have been produced as a natural consequence of its printing and its scanning.
Notice, also, that the black background of the top title, CERTIFICATION OF LIVE BIRTH," on the original border became faded in the process of duplicating the Obama COLB border. What this means is that both the top title box and the bottom title box were also constructed (or modified) separately.
I correctly said at the beginning that it did not matter to my essential research hypothesis, that the text on the COLB had been graphically altered, because I demonstrated how no other process could have done it naturally; i.e., produce the white & gray pixel patterns that I saw between the letters.
Now, with indisputable confirmation that the border on the Obama COLB image was manufactured, I can make this final claim:
That anyone who still thinks that this COLB image, from which copies were posted to the Daily Kos, Fight the Smears, Factcheck, and Politifact, is a true scan of Obama's original birth certificate (or "Certification of Live Birth"), is either blind, has a distorted view of reality, or is deliberately lying.
Given what we know about the lies and deceptions of Obama, his campaign, and his apologists in the media, I firmly believe it is the latter.
Therefore, I'm calling out the Daily Kos, "Fight the Smears," Factcheck, and Politifact to quit lying to the American public, and to immediately come clean on their fraudulent claims.
It took half a day to work out the right combination of colors, transparencies, sharpness, and saturation, but I got it right. In the image below, you will see the original border along with the one I created. My border can be seen lying immediately down and to the left of the original border:
Now, here is an orginal scan image made from a real 2007 COLB. Look how differently its borders are from the Obama COLB borders:
If that does not convince you, then nothing will.
I wouldn’t call that conclusive proof, it could just be that the two COLBs used different runs of form paper. Run a is from company abc, run b is from company xyz. They had similar standards, but they are different.
I don’t get it.
Not this again. *sigh*
Put this one in the same basket as that API tape of MO
No one else on this planet cared enough to actually follow through and investigate 0bama's false COLB.
Ping.
I have a number of historically significant documents for which I’m taking bids:
An ORIGINAL MAGNA CARTA;
An ORIGINAL DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE;
An ORIGINAL copy of the CONSTITUTION.
I would post photos of these items but I have had them locked in a vault accessible only to one of my trusted friends. Also for that reason, a personal physical examination of them by interested parties of objective document experts is out of the question. But my friends are very trustworthy individuals and assure that they are AUTHENTIC.
Let the bidding begin.
Only those who have not followed this closely think the way you do.
Quite the contrary. And if you will look at my numerous posts on this you’ll see that I have likely followed it closer than about 99% of those that have followed it.
It is one of the numerous tinfoil conspiracy theories that has distracted us this entire election season. There was SO much to talk about but so much was focused on this.
There is no bogus BC. Obama WAS born in the U.S.
It’s my fervent hope that the next round of elections we actually focus on winning issues and not this crap.
Thank you, Polarik!!
Somewhere on FreeRepublic, someone posted an ACTUAL 1961 Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii...and it didn’t look anything like what Obama put out to represent his 1961 form.
Borders, paper color, fonts, data placement on the form was very very different.
You wish. If Obama has nothing to hide, then please explain why, why, oh why, has he refused to release his birth certificate so Americans can see it for themselves? Can you think of one, just ONE, good reason, why he is hiding his birth certificate? And then give us one, just ONE, good reason why the citizens of the U.S. should not be concerned when someone running for President and Commander in Chief of the United States of America refuses to show the document that proves he is eligible to hold that office?
Also, the issue of Obama’s refusal to release his birth certificate has hurt his campaign, not helped it. We know that Obama wants to win this thing so bad he’ll do anything to gain power. Knowing that, why would he allow this issue to be an issue, when all he would have to do to stop the questions, stop the lawsuits, etc., is to SHOW US HIS DAMN BIRTH CERTIFICATE?! Inquiring minds want to know.
BTW, I did get to see Jefferson's copy of it on a trip to the Smithsonian a few years back.
Oh, and I did not see any strange pixels on it, either.
What kind of stupid joke is that? You’ve been here for two frickin weeks. It has been ongoing since June.
So apparently you got distracted in your short stint here, huh? Keeps us away from the real issues.
You have two stupid posts about the API story, and exactly zero posted threads of any substance.
So since you followed this COLB story so closely (more than 99% of us) perhaps you can answer a few simple questions surrounding Obama’s birth.
Why hasn’t Obama produced a real copy of a certified BIRTH CERTIFICATE instead of a COLB? For $20, I believe, he can get a certified copy of the BC.
Why would Obama release his COLB scan on Daily Kos first?
Why would Obama swap the high resolution version he had on FIght the Smears (his own website) for a piss poor quality one after people like Polarik started analyzing it?
Why would he invite the leftist Annenburg Fact Check organization to take photos of the document instead of invinting multiple media outlets to examine it?
Why would Annenburg’s Fact Check not have a full rear photo of the back of the document since they were responding to allegations that demanded a full photo of the back of the document? And why the oddball angles on most of their shots?
Why would Annenburg’s Fact Check have date stamps of last March on their photos, when they implied they went and did the spread after the criticism mounted in August?
Do you even know Fact Check is a nest of left wingers?
Why would Obama not produce his COLB as evidence to the Philadelphia court he was being sued in? Instead, he successfully fought it off by getting the judge to toss the whole thing because Berg did not have standing.
Why would Obama not just pay $20 for a certified copy of his BC instead of pay 10s of 1000s on lawyers to get Berg’s case tossed?
Which hospital was Obama born at in HI?
Have you seen Obama’s thesis? His grades from college? Any records at all from Columbia U? His state Senate records?
Frankly, you know NOTHING about this case.
Not even close. Everything, except the patterned paper, is graphically-created every time they are printed out. They have used the same paper stock since 2001, and they have been sent to the very same printer going back three years.
The only thing that has been changed every year since 2001 is the border pattern. But, even that is graphically produced.
Think of a PDF file with fillable form fields. Basically, that's what Hawaii uses.
Here's an analogy. You get four dollar bills in change from a purchase. Three of them have identical-looking borders, but one of them does not -- it's borders look only faintly similar to the borders on the other three.
However, the border is not the only aspect of the bill that looks different: the lettering appears to have been graphically altered.
In other words, that dollar bill is counterfeit.
I have a feeling we will not get an answer to our valid questions. Back on October 29th, Klepto started another thread about API, then sits back and posts comments about the API being ridiculous and why are we giving them the time of day. I posted a comment to this person asking if he/she felt that API was ridiculous, then why did he/she post another thread about it. I received no reply.
Me thinks someone has ulterior motives here.
By the way, your good questions receive good answers.
It's always been a real issue, and one that Leftist will never sweep under the rug.
The only difference this itme is that the tinfoil hats are only on those who still say that it's a genuine image scan of Obama's birth certificate.
In other word,s "Fat Chance."
Klepto may or may not be a troll with ulterior motives. But even if Obama wins, we will find a way to disqualify him prior to inauguration. We’ll see how helpful Klepto is in the endeavor.
