Independent analysts, working separately, have discovered that the original Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth used in the fabrication of the Barack Obama "birth certificate" belongs to the Presidential candidate's younger half-sister, Maya.
Examining the high resolution image originally posted by the "Daily Kos" left-wing blog and subsequently claimed as authentic by the campaign, and posted in lower resolution on the campaign official "Fight the Smears" website, at least two analysts have been able to independently discern the name "Maya Kassandra Soetoro" from artifacts left behind in the process of forging a new fake document for Barack from an image of Maya's original document. Additional confirmatory information, such as her birthday and the nationality of her father have also been resurrected. A full report documenting all details is to be published in the coming days.
The dramatic development comes just a day after a forensic specialist, posting on the Texas Darling blog under the name Techdude (his real name is known to Israel Insider), announced the discovery of the identity of the original owner of the COLB document used in the forgery but would initially only indicate that it was a woman born in the 1970's. However, he provided enough clues to enable another graphic specialist (screen name KG) to independently reproduce the incriminating evidence. (Techdude had said that he wanted to give the guilty parties time to confess to the forgery, but also to allow independent confirmation of his discovery. He even offered to pay for a trip to Vegas to the first person to discover the name and detail the method by which it was discovered.)
According to Texas Darling, which exclusively published these latest revelations, there is more to come: "In the coming days, Techdude will provide a final report that fully discloses his discovery, and provides all the fancy technical data, images, formulae etc. that everyone has come to expect. He will respond to questions posted on this blog to the best of his ability. (NOTE: KG has asked Techdude to donate the trip funds to help retire Hillary's debt, and Techdude has agreed.)" In the meantime, KG has posted details on how artifacts of the name "Maya Kassandra Soetero" were discerned.
The revelation that the COLB of Obama's own sister was evidently used to create the electronic forgery represents a "smoking gun" that appears to implicate Senator Obama directly. Hawaii law limits access to vital records to family members only, a fact which slowed down the ability of researchers to compare the purported Obama "birth certificate" -- which displayed from the start a peculiar provenance and inexplicable features -- to genuine specimens. Therefore, it would seem that either Maya K. Soetoro-Ng (as she is now called) supplied the document or its image to half-brother Barack or his campaign, or Obama/his campaign used it without her permission.
It appears unlikely, to say the least, that the campaign would have independently managed to obtain Maya's COLB, forged Barak's fake COLB using Maya's original, and verified the result as genuine without the candidate's knowledge and involvement. This is particularly true given the high profile treatment with which the campaign has treated the purported veracity of the supposed "birth certificate" in its Fight the Smears website. The apparent use of the Soetero document increases the likelihood of direct Obama involvement in the supply, production, and/or propagation of the forgery.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Even the Snopes anti-rumor site acknowledges that Obama's constitutional fitness to be president depends solely on his being born in the United States, because his mother -- not yet 19 at the time of his birth -- would not have had a sufficient number of years as an adult citizen, according to the laws prevailing at the time, to pass on "natural born citizenship" automatically.
There have been reports, so far unconfirmed, that Obama was born outside the country, either in Kenya, his presumed father's native land, or in Canada. The fact that the Obama campaign has been touting as genuine a forgery since June 12 will likely increase pressure to not only account for the fake but produce a genuine paper birth certificate. Obama, in his book Dreams from My Father, specifically mentioned having such a document in his possession, but it has not been submitted for public inspection or analysis if it in fact exists.
Intriguingly, too, Maya Soetoro-Ng is believed to have been born outside the United States, in Indonesia, so her apparent ownership of a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth raises questions about how such a document was produced for an Indonesian-born girl. That, too, may shed light on Barack Obama's citizenship status and his ability, or inability, to document it.
Ironically, but perhaps not coincidentally, the Obama campaign has challenged the credentials of Republican opponent John McCain, because he makes no secret of being born out of the country, in Panama. But both of McCain's parents were Americans so, unlike Obama, are by statute able to pass on natural born citizen status to their foreign-born child.
Now that is something I can see.
Good Lord! What is wrong with this country? Why are either one of these questionable people even going ahead as the candidate of the primaries?
And why is either party risking the election for them?
What dynamics? Have there been media shenanigans beyond the usual regarding this story?
It just keeps getting better.

The media dynamics of the coverage of this story are different for reasons I don’t see that anyone has been able to explain in a way that is serious.
***Let’s ping the story to those we know are in the media and try to filter it to the top of the pile.
Has anyone else seen this about Obama not even being “black” enough to be called the first black anything?

Now Barack Obama Sr. he had 8 THAT HE ADMITTED TO.
This makes no sense.
It does look pretty screwy. If they could get a COLB for Maya, the sister who wasn't born in the US, why couldn't they get one for Obama?
For all the pictures Techdude or TexasDarlin put up on the Internet, I don't think they've released documentation to back up this contention.
My guess is that this last bit is where the wheels fall off Techdude's theory.
You've put your finger on what's "amiss": he doesn't know whether or not his parents were legally married or not, and he didn't really want to look into it for fear of what he might find out. He says so in his autobiography. But to jump from that to a story about his mother flying off to Kenya is loopy.
Call me a skeptic re EMP. The rest of it — I pray to G-d we never find out.
You won't like the answer.

I assume you were speaking tongue-in-cheek when you said she had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it. Hillary would not merely count on us to take out Obama, . Her minions are working behind the scenes to make sure Obama is taken out, and we get the blame.
Bill gave the marching orders in broad daylight. That takes cojones.
I’m sorry bother you all again, but do any of you know the difference being “editor” of the Harvard Law Review and being “President”? Because there was an african-american editor in 1919.
We see the same thing. Why on earth would you seek out a known forgery to copy and alter?
You wouldn't do that. No one would. I think the Obama camp is kind of dumb, although they show signs of brilliance at times.
But they are not retards.
Starfish Prime was a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the United States of America on July 9, 1962, the explosion took place 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Johnston Island in the Pacific Ocean.
About 1500 kilometers (930 statute miles) away in Hawaii, the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by the explosion was felt as three hundred street lights failed, television sets and radios malfunctioned, burglar alarms went off and power lines fused. On Kauai, EMP shut down telephone calls to the other islands by burning out the equipment used in a microwave link.
Give it to me straight null and void. I can handle the truth. I think. That’s what is bugging and why I am so furious about this deception. On both sides now. I don’t like to be lied to. Ever.
So please tell me if you know.
Oh, absolutely I was kidding. I can just see how she would open her eyes real wide as she talks about it, in order to appear that she is shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, to find out that ole' Barry isn't eligible...
Don’t you all understand? He’s humbly trying to conceal his virgin birth!
