Proof COLB is invalid

How to discover for yourself that Obama's 'Certificate of Live Birth' has been altered by cut and paste.

3. Go to the 'View' menu and select 'Rulers' to make them visible and the 'Windows' menu and make sure the ‘Layers’ and 'Tools' windows are checked.

4. Click and drag a guideline from the left side ruler and move it to the right side border and line it up with the edge of the border. You will see that this lines up well with the border.

5. Drag out another guideline and line it up with the left border. You will see that the border drifts to the left going from top to bottom.

7. You will notice that the crosshatch of the border tends to repeat at regular intervals.

8. Using the 'box' selection tool drag over one of the sections selecting a small box area.

10. Go to the 'Edit' menu again and this time select 'Paste'. This pastes the selected area directly above where you 'box' selected and places the copied area of pixels in a new layer just above. The image will not appear to have changed because the pixels in the new layer are identical to the ones below and in the same position.

11. In the 'Layers' window and above the new layer is an 'Opacity' setting. Change this setting from 100% to 50%. This will make it 50% transparent so you can see the pixels below.

13. Using the arrow keys on your keyboard move the new layer up until you get to where it looks like it repeats. Move it around until you get a match. It will be immediately apparent when you get a match. You may need to move it a few pixels right or left in addition to moving it up.

14. Go back to the 'Layers' window and click on the 'Eyeball' icon which turns the layer from visible to invisible. Turn it on an off back and forth. If the image does not change at all then you know you have an exact match of the pixels above and below.

A scanner will read a document and assess every pixels hue and value one at a time. Therefore a scanned document will never have two identical areas of pixels that match. The only way a match can occur is by making an exact copy of a group of pixels and pasting them in a different location on the document. There is a shortcut for copying and pasting. If you hold the 'ALT' key down and use the move tool it automatically makes a duplicate and drops it where you let go of the mouse. If you hold the 'Ctrl' key down and hit the 'D" key this duplicates the previous function...in this case it was the cut and paste shortcut. If you drop the copied selection above but are off slightly by a few pixels right or left and then repeat hitting the 'Ctrl' 'D' shortcut the amount of pixels you were off is multiplied. This accounts for the drift of the border you noticed in the beginning when you used the guidelines. Apparently there was something on the left side that needed to be covered up and the 'Ctrl/D' (duplicate last function) was used multiple times and was off a few pixels creating the noticeable drift in the border.

There you have it, and you did it yourself. The statement on the bottom says "ANY ALTERATIONS INVALIDATE THIS CERTIFICATE" and now you know for a fact that this document is invalid. State: Nevada

A detroit radio station called the Kenyan embassy after the election of Obama. After a a few minutes they get through to the ambassador of Kenya.

The ambassador of Kenya says that obama was born in Kenya and that his birth place has become a national shrine.

Listen to the recording here

The quote is around 12:35, so if you don’t have time to listen to the whole thing, you can jump ahead.
The transcript reads:

Radio Jockey: President elect Obama's birth place over in Kenya -- is that going to be a national spot where he was born

Ambassador Peter Ogego: its already an attraction. his paternal grandmother is still alive

Radio Jockey:But his birth place...they'll put up a marker there

Ambassdor Peter Ogego: It would depend on the government. Its already well known.

Here is an abridged Utube version of the the radio interview. So you can hear just the relevant parts.

It can be reasonably pointed out that the DJ was trying to entrap the Ambassador and that the Ambassador fell into his trap.
However, if you listen to the long version of the radio interview --you’ll notice he used the same strategy on two different occasions and the ambassador gently brushed him off.

First, he tried to force the ambassador to sing the Kenyan national anthem. The ambassador referred him to the kenyan website.

Second he tried to push the ambassador into saying something about maybe Kenya becoming the 51st state. Again the ambassador said that Kenya was a sovereign country. ie No.

He used the same technique on the question of Obama’s birth place. This time the ambassador did not brush him off. Rather in answer to the question as to whether Obama was born in Kenya --he says "It is well known."

Because the ambassador answered no in the two previous examples -- you can't say that the ambassdor was either a fool or ill advised.

Finally, you might ask well doesn't he know that saying Obama is born in Kenya would make trouble for Obama? The answer there is why should he be concerned? He has heard no suggestion in the mainstream media that there might be a problem there. So to say what is already well known--as he says--would be no problem.

Here is a utube video of Ambassador Peter Ogego speaking at a conference. Ambassador of Kenya H.E. Peter Ogego To verify that the voice on the radio is Ambassador Ogego-- compare the radio voice with the DJ to the voice on the Utube that goes with Ambassador Ogego. Ambassador Peter Ogego is introduced a bit after minute 18..

They are the same.

Subsequently, the Kenyan ambassador said that he meant Obama's father was born in Kenya. However, when pressed about Obama's birth place:

"I don't know," he said with a tone of irritation. "You should ask your government. I know his father is Kenyan."

However, that's not what the original transcript suggests. clear="all" /> Finally, there is a Affidavit of Bishop Ron McRae which is part of the Berg case. The Bishop says pretty much the same thing as the Ambassador.

"Additionally, it is common knowledge throughout both the Christian and Muslim communities in Kenya, that contrary to news media propaganda here in the United States, US Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim and not a Christian, and that he was born in Mombasa, Kenya and not in the State of Hawaii as falsely purported by the Obama campaign for presidency of the United States."

While you cannot impeach the ambassador's character, you can impeach McCrae's character. After all, he's just an itinerant preacher. But McCrae has been to Kenya. Still that makes two people who say that it is common knowledge in Kenya that Obama was born in Kenya.
Then of course there is a video of Obama's grandmother saying that Obama is born in in her village in Kenya
There is a case to be made that Obama mother didn't mean Obama was born in her town but rather that he is a "son of this village". If taken alone, she could well be ignored. However, her take is in keeping with others both high and low.

Again here is a pdf transcript of Kenyan National Assembly on Nov 5, 2008, the day after Obama was elected. Over and over again there are references to Obama being a "son of the soil" of Kenya and a Kenyan. On page page 3275 there is this passage:

HOUSE SHOULD ADJOURN TO DISCUSS ELECTION OF MR. BARRACK OBAMA

Ms. Odhiambo: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not on this issue. I stand on a point of order under Standing Order No.20 to seek leave for adjournment of the House to discuss the American presidential election results.

(Applause)

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President-elect, Mr. Obama, is a son of the soil of this country. Every other country in this continent is celebrating the Obama win. It is only proper and fitting that the country which he originates from should show the same excitement, pomp and colour.

Again. It is not the one thing. Rather it is the tide.

The Obama administration could put this to rest by releasing his long form birth certificate. But he doesn't. Rather he spends -- now over a million -- on flaks. Why bother. The Arnold would have run for president long ago and likely won if he were a "natural born" american. He's not. He's naturalized. So he can't run. And he knows it. (though there were some trial balloons sent up a couple years back about changing the law--that went nowhere.)

Like the Arnold, Obama looks to be a naturalized citizen--but maybe he's not even that.

Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.)The context suggests that by "immigrant" bill richardson means "illegal immigrant"

Here in plain English is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya.

Obama's own flacks deny that obama was born in Kenya but do acknowledge that he had a dual citizenship up until 1982

from obama's own site factcheck.org by way of fightthesmears on his dual citizenship at birth

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
Someone will want to cache the above web page because it will be taken down eventually.
It is well established that Obama did travel to Indonesia and Pakistan in 1981. In a tape of his speech at this April 6, 2008 San Francisco Fundraiser, Obama discloses his trip to Pakistan (40:17) when he was in college. On what passport did he travel?

A last arguement for baraks people might be that of course the Kenyans would have an interest in claiming that obama was a "son of the soil" both as a matter of pride and as a matter of bucks coming their way. However, if Obama was not born in Kenya -- then why wouldn't Obama release his original long form birth certificate. Exactly What IS a Natural Born Citizen?

The thing has become a joke in washington. dJoe Biden Joked at the Gridiron Dinner in March 09.

After mentioning one of the Republican speakers for the evening, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was born in Austria and that one of the Democratic speakers, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, was born in Canada, Biden chortled: "Folks, this is going to be Lou Dobbs' worst nightmare. "

From there, Biden transitioned to the birth certificate controversy.

"You know, I never realized just how much power Dick Cheney had until my first day on the job. I walked into my office, and you know how the outgoing president always leaves the incoming president a note in his desk?" he asked rhetorically. "I opened my drawer and Dick Cheney had left me Barack Obama’s birth certificate."

You could say that he made something simple, hard to understand.

This is basic stuff that I addressed back in June of last year. In my first blog post, on June 13, the day after the COLB image appeared on the Daily Kos, I compared the Kos COLB border to the borders from four other COLB's:

I stated that, "What is readily apparent is that the four other borders look quite differently from the border on the Kos image. Why does it look so weird by comparison??"

The real answer to that question would come about two months later when I replicated both the border and the Kos COLB and demonstrated that the border had been made separately from the body of the COLB and subsequently placed on top of it

[NOTE: if you compare my border comparison to the one that the fraud, 'TechDude' presented in his "explosive Atlas Shruggs exclusive" on JULY 20, you will see that he copped it from my June 13 blog post. He also copped an image copy of Michele's COLB scan that Michele, herself, sent only to me and that I first posted weeks before. No acknowledgements were made, which is what you'd expect a thief to do]

So, here it is, March 24, 2009, more than ten months after I announced to the blogsphere that Obama's COLB was bogus, and suddenly, we have people coming out of the wordwork, making claims of forgery as if I never existed or published four months of research.

Back in June, I noted that someone had used a tool like Photoshop's stamp or cloning tool cover over existing text and to assemble the final image. I didn't need to read the Exif data to know that it was run through Photoshop.

Now, everybody thinks they're Einstein with regards to the COLB forgery. The problem is that the actual Obama COLB forgery was NOT easy to make, and anyone who doubts that ought to try making one from an original scan of a real COLB.

Here's what I do not understand:

How on Earth is it possible, that a "Photochopped image" made in mid-June, is STILL being regarded as Obama's authenic, original, duly-certified paper COLB, by so many people in positions of government?

The really frightening thing, born out by direct observation, is that our Government servants rely soley on the Media to do the thinking for them, to such an extent that they don't know which side is up!

***I thank you once again for your analysis.

I lurked here back in June when you first started posting and can remember relaying the info to my husband (the world’s biggest skeptic). After several conversations with him as well as other family members they were absolutely convinced and to this day can not believe that no govt. official, judge, etc. thinks this COLB is a forgery!

I sincerely hope that very soon you as well as the attorneys working on the eligibility cases will have your day in court.

I, too believe that because this is not being reported in the MSM our govt. officials as well as conservative talk radio hosts will not touch it in depth.

P.S. You may consider this “basic stuff” but I have trouble with cut and paste. (No laughing.)

from your link:

“I may be the only person left who specifically remembers his birth. His parents are gone, his grandmother is gone, the obstetrician who delivered him is gone,” said Nelson, referring to Dr. Rodney T. West, who died in February at the age of 98. Here’s the story: Nelson was having dinner at the Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach with Dr. West, the father of her college friend, Jo-Anne. Making conversation, Nelson turned to Dr. West and said: “‘So, tell me something interesting that happened this week,’” she recalls.

His response: “Well, today, Stanley had a baby. Now that’s something to write home about.”

The new mother was Stanley (later referred to by her middle name of Ann) Dunham, and the baby was Barack Hussein Obama.

“I penned the name on a napkin, and I did write home about it,” said Nelson, knowing that her father, Stanley A. Czurles, director of the Art Education Department at Buffalo State College, would be interested in the “Stanley” connection.

When Nelson was offered a job as a newspaper reporter and photographer at her friend’s wedding reception, it led to her living in Hawaii for 47 years...

she may have been a teacher but she writes like the frikken journalist she is...spin spin spin...drop a lot of names into the mix and maybe, just maybe someone will believe it.
