New Discovery: 5 Photoshopped images of Obama done by the same user calling her-himself Ducky - one of these 5 images is the Certificate of Live Birth!

Thanks to Rhonda Parsons who has a BA in graphics and her finding some images across the Internet from Obama's high school days in Hawaii.
I was looking for evidence of image forgery, and to my surprise saw the name 'Ducky' appeared in each image reviewed. I remember seeing 'Ducky' on Obama's Certificate of Live Birth image from his Fight the Smears website way back in August.
This proves that 'Ducky' has forged or changed every one of these images, in one form or another, as an effort to present something likely false by using a Professional image editing software (Photoshop) to make changes.
For those you not that computer-savvy, Photoshop is image-editing software (the most popular). You can virtually superimpose one image onto another etc. Photoshop is often used to put heads on other peoples' bodies (as in the case of some Glam magazines) etc. Even an amateur with this software can make convincing, yet fake photos. A quick-and-dirty way to find out if an image has been altered in any way, is to open that image in a Hex (or even simple text) editor.
Note: For those of you not so computer-savvy - images when opened in text editors (like Notepad) show the Hexidecimal code for the image. Computers only understand numbers, so it uses Hexidecimal to represent pairs of Binary numbers. Binary numbers are 1's and 0's. A pattern of these numbers together, represent the image to the computer, which converts it to what you see. Hexidecimal is a way of shortening up Binary sequences. When an altered (or newly created) image is saved in Photoshop, it (Photoshop) will record basic details about the image depending on how the image-saving preferences are set. You can record additional text into the image, such as copyright information, or even a comment. And no, Ducky did not save any copyright information for the images.
Below are the images - shown normally and opened in a Hex editor. You will see 'Ducky' in each one:
Obama Yearbook Mosaic
Obama Birth Notice
High School Steps
Obama Basketball. Notice Coach's right hand, the Belt, and the number changed from the other Basketball image. He went from number 23 to 25. Look at the shadow on the coach's neck and the shadow on Obama's. They are not going the same direction. Obama's head is too big as well.
Last but not least, Ducky's real claim to fame (or lest we say forgery), the Certificate of Live Birth from Obama's Fight the Smears website.
You can save any one or all of these images to your hard drive. Open each image in a text editor and look near the top, you will see "Ducky" stamped in each one.
"Ducky" ties the images to the same single source.

Have you seen this?
for your various CertifiGate ping lists
p.s. I am ready to send in $100 to Intrade to open up a contract on Certifigate. I was thinking that with the $25M reward offered, it would be easy to write contract rules around that event but I wonder if the money is even in place?

Coach has an unusually loooooong right arm.
Photoshop confirmed, but not necessarily the same author.

>>”Ducky” ties the images to the same single source.<<
Sure it does. All the images were saved as “images for web” from photoshop. No bearing whatsoever on the creator of the image. I’ve seen photos going back years with Ducky in the exif data.

Ping for the group.
Interesting, The Obama basketball video could easily have been redubbed to make it appear as if someone that looked like him made the shot.
Given enough time I could dub it to say Barry Toot made the shot.
Toot made the shot.
LOL!
There is a link in the first post of the thread you linked to that confuses the heck out of me.

Maybe it is just me being empty headed today... but I just don’t get any of that.
Thanks.
The money is not ‘in place’ ... yet. The idea was to create a pressure point with yet another public accusation.
I’m ready to write longshots.com and bet Barry gets impeached due to not being a natural born citizen!
