Thanks for the ping. I don’t know if this has been addressed up thread, but here goes:
I did not find physical evidence of splice on the Aug. 1-15, 1961 microfilms I handled - however I did not unroll and examine them. It would have been strange behavior in the Library of Congress. What I did find was that the box containing the one microfilm with an obama birth ann. had the reference number scribbled over, then later rewritten. Found a few other minor things as well. There are two boxes which are different/altered from the original in fact.
One of the most important things uncovered is that the original DISCOVERY (by the late Lori Starfelt) of the first of the two announcements was a complete lie - that copy could not have come from the source claimed. Nor could the story by the “person” who discovered the second announcement a few days later be true. That to me was the most important discovery involving these newspaper announcements.
On researching I learned that to make a “master” film is very quick and easy, but that the type of film in use at that time is no longer used. EXCEPT that when I checked on Ebay a couple of years ago there was plenty of that older type film for sale (unexposed). Many places, including the Library of Congress, made their own micro films - and still have the equipment.
So, could a person take the libraries copy that sits in the stacks, splice in a section, generate a new “master” from that, then make the copies with everything original except the spliced section (undetectable carefully done this way)onto vintage film still being sold on Ebay? Then exchange the handful of copies found in the main land libraries and on the Islands? It could be done quite easily. Super cheap too.
The announcements certainly proved to be a very convincing piece of “evidence” did they not, that obama was born in HI on Aug. 4, 1961? So, although Mr. Barack Obama SR. NEVER EVER lived at the address listed in that announcement, it was accepted by the general public as sufficient. And evidence. Just as the phony BC and weasel worded announcements and declarations from HI officials are accepted. As evidence.
BTW. To those thinking all researchers involved in this are being showered with donations - piss off.
I spent over five thousand of my own money - provided by me - doing my little projects. That would be dollars. I was offered donations, some that were very generous, but as I didn’t want people getting involved - or expecting results which might be impossible to provide, I used my own cash. The last trip WAS paid for by myself and by the Post&Email, but we each had our own specific agenda and were able to work everything out well with our Investigator.
That’s how I ended up with the video of the Woman in Brown ordering her long form birth certificate. Shame the audio is so crappy - perhaps I can save up and find a pro to enhance the original so it is clearer.
Anyway, all of this is included on my blog posts (LOL - tedious reading) and I explained a long while ago that I paid for the trips myself because I didn’t want to have to compromise or be restricted in what I wanted to go after. I want to have my own way, and I pay for that.
Thank you for your excellent research.
Not only did Sr. never live at that address in the (alleged) newspaper announcements in 1961...but it list's a nameless "boy" and makes no mention of place of birth for that nameless boy.
Pretty sad how gullible so many can be by such a flimsy piece of "proof."
