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.

everything is just “Ducky”?
***Beat me to it. Darn, now I have nothing to say that’s plucky, ducky.
TANKS,Ya’ll,,,miles behind...;0/
My suggestion is that you don’t listen to anything from Kyoon, who has a very strange reputation over at Intrade.
“What is the first thing you did not get?”
The title!
And it goes downhill from there.
I don’t know if that is a spoof or if someone has great difficulty in telling their story or if I am just too clear headed today to get what is going on there.
Someone between that writer and this reader has an acid tripping episode going on and I am hoping it is not me.
(I quit smoking 14 days ago, so doubt my own sanity at this point)
:p
You are right, that Harvard shot was photoshopped to an untrained eye. It just looked ‘off’.
And funny how there are maybe a handful of people who claim to have gone to school with him? You’d think there’d be swarms of people wanting people to know they knew THE Barack Obama.
We are under a terorrist attack I think. I guess that makes me a radical.
Thanks for the ping, LucyT.
Really makes me take a second look at these photos. His whole imaginary life is filled with his make believe friends.
This is absolutely insane paranoia. It is an embarrassment to conservatives.
the reality is that his mysterious background does fit into a plausible CIA scenario...which makes his ragging on the CIA even more questionable..maybe he has it in for the CIA.... the whole thing is weird..and he is destroying our country.
Wow this one really looks odd!
Absolutely freaking crazy.
No, n00b, that is not proof of anything. Someone proud of the school could have posted the photos rercently, pulled from web sources where they were seeded to fabricate a history. If you go back ten or more years and find these were posted in school records deacdes ago, then you might have a case for genuine. But the KGB is very good at forgeries and did a superlative job of seeding fabricated materials for their spies.
Image has been removed or deleted ... since you linked to it!
“The fact you assert Barry is not seen in any group photo’s leads me to keep believing this Idiot does not hold any law degree (etc)”
So Harvard Law School, The Illinois Bar, and the University of Chicago Law School are all part of this conspiracy?
Yup, crazy to post a picture as part of his history which is so obviously altered. How long would Dunham’s left arm have to be to make that pose and have the hand over Barry’s shoulder? ... But then you will not see what you do not want to see, eh Sloth?
Did you know Barry lied on his IL Bar app? ... Minor detail for a sycophantic mind like you're exhibiting. And one of the favorite methods of a shill like you is to turn the issue on its head, making assertions that all the 'other' connections must be cooperating in a fabrication if any fabrications have been put forth as genuine.
It seldom occurs to those duped by your technique that the named orgs may not have taken any time to debunk a forgery, for their own reasons; the IL Bar has done zero regarding the lie Barry signed off on in his app to their association. I wonder why????? ... Your ilk will claim there was no lie to begin with, which is of course another lie.
But your ilk keep sludging the script don'tchaknow. It must be infuriating to want to worship this affirmative action fraud so much that you refuse to acknowledge even the obvious and put yourself in embarrassing poses for your messiah, only to have to deny your adoration when caught pimping for the liar.
Photo #3: Stanley Armour Dunham has quite a basket!
You may not understand this, but there are some people who despise BO, and would love see him get what he deserves (impeachment), yet don’t believe every single accusation against him.
I have worked tirelessly to lobby the white house on pro-life issues, and coordinated the red envelope project for my community. I worked on voter registration drives and visited hundreds of people to encourage their votes for McCain. I am leading a delegation from my church to set up a protest at the white house on the Mexico City policy that BO overturned. Yet you accuse me of wearing kneepads for Obama, of worshiping and adoring him?
I don’t agree with your speculation. Sorry, but “it is obviously photoshopped” just isn’t enough for me to believe that the University of Chicago would hire a constitutional law instructor without first verifying that he has a law degree. Nor do I believe that every student at Punahou during the time Obama was there,(several thousand) are all part of a conspiracy to say that BO played basketball on the high school Punahou team. If that is following a messiah in your mind, well then you need some help.
Interesting that you have so much Christian content on your about page. There is nothing Christian about the post you just made to me.
There you go again, spittling with the undistributed middle logical fallacy approach. You would have us believe that there has never been a case of a University hiring an affirmative action individual without making absolutely sure that person is in fact holder of the education and degree they have a diploma for. [See how the fallacy works, I just used it. ;^) ]
Now, can you apply that to the kneepaddery in your 'every student at Punahou' connected with the circular reasoning of 'while Barack Obama was attending' assertion. Which of these hundreds of students can say the black kid in the photo Fred Nerks posted is in fact Barry Soetoro? The issue is that soemone may have fabricated a life history for Barry Soetoro which is close to the life story of perhaps one or two black kids who actually did attend Punahou and Columbia. It apparently has never occurred to you that there could be a combination of fabricated history and actual attendance at Columbia and Harvard Law, but he was not the kid who attended Punahou. THAT is the avenue of this issue which some have chosen to pursue.
It is telling that you insist on using logical fallacies to try and poo poo all efforts to uncover the actual history of a man who has posted fabricated material as proof of whom he was/is.
As to your claims of conservative bonefides, I could claim on the Internet that I'm a distant cousin of Earnest Hemingway, but it would be merely a claim. Frankly, your sycophantic efforts for Barry point to the opposite of what you claim.
