“Is this a project you’d have any interest or ability to pursue? Or do you know of somebody who I could contact?”
I’m sorry I don’t have time to pursue this. I think I’ve provided reasonably clear guidance on how to repackage it and any decent writer could reshuffle the content you’ve already assembling follow that “roadmap.” So perhaps there’s a Freeper with way more time than I’ve got currently to take this on and do it justice.
The one thing I invite you to consider is how to answer the “so what?” question. If the mendacious posters had posted fraudulent versions of the birth announcements—i.e., containing content different than the actual versions held at HSL—that would be a far more explosive finding (analogous to Polarik’s work questioning the validity of the COLBs posted on-line, which, despite his efforts, have never really broken out to become a national news story).
So essentially you’ve established that disparate posters were essentially working in concert while trying to hide this fact from the public. Despicable behavior, to be sure, but not really equivalent to fraudulently posting an official document whose contents likely have been altered from the version that Hawaiian officials have succeeded in keeping hidden from the general public.
In short, you’re not challenging the veracity of the birth announcements themselves (maybe you are, but not in the “story” as contained the The Problem with the Announcement Stories). So it’s not that clear that these posters substantially aided and abetted a fraud. That is, they simply lied about the provenance of their images, but had they actually taken the time to go to HSL and track down the real deal(s), the SUBSTANCE of what they posted would have been identical.
And their main point—even if they resorted to questionable means to do it—is that contemporary newspaper accounts are consistent with Obama’s having had a birth certificate filed in Hawaii in August 1961. This surely doesn’t prove he was born in Hawaii, for all the reasons we know, but it does establish that in that time-frame his birth was reported to DOH.
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I know it’s an investment of time, and I don’t take that for granted.
I do challenge the veracity of what is in all the microfilms now. Not just at the HSL but at every library we checked, there are signs of tampering.
But the story is too big to make it into one article. It has to be done a piece at a time.
The first piece is that the stories about where the images came from were a deliberate lie coordinated between somebody at the Advertiser office (with access to all the old microfilms and microfiche for both newspapers), the HSL librarian, and at least one anonymous online poster.
The next piece is the lies openly aired in public by those people regarding how the HDOH and newspapers handled the birth announcements. This shows that there was a false narrative they wanted to support in order to make the announcements, even if genuine, mean more than they actually do - a narrative that is revealed by the discrepancies in their accounts and by the actual hard evidence in the newspapers. At this point I believe the HDOH actually altered their 1960-64 birth index to cover for all this as well, so the treachery runs deep.
And then the final piece is the actual physical evidence of microfilms being tampered with at every library we checked. Five libraries. Each shows unique signs of tampering.
Opportunity, motive, evidence, cover-up. It’s all there.
And altering historic government records such as microfilms at a State Library or the Library of Congress is a crime, I believe.
As many have pointed out, the birth announcements have no legal significance, even though used by folks like Bill O’Reilly as the absolute proof that Obama was born in Hawaii. The reason the story matters is because it shows the coordinated efforts between government and media personnel to support an elaborate crime that was done - all to cover the fact that there has been no GENUINE evidence yet presented to support Obama’s claim of a Hawaii birth.
We all thought it was crazy to think that somebody would actually make new microfilms with a forged birth announcement page and change out the microfilms at all the libraries where those microfilms existed. We thought that would be more bother than it was worth, and that it was just too conspiratorial to believe.
But it sure seems like that’s exactly what happened. That tells you how desperate they considered the need for ANYTHING that would support the “official” Obama birth story. Why go to that extreme if there’s no “there” there?
