In post 135.
In HIS defense, he had asked me to send him new copies done at a different contrast which I forgot to do, totally forgot to do it. He never sent a reminder or anything, just lept to the conclusion he wanted to reach. I have since sent him several other scanned copies I did tonight and sent.
In my opinion, he owes me a HUGE apology. The document is real, it from the state of Hawaii and was sent to me in Mar of 2000.
So he popps off with a bunch of mumbo jumbo about how its fake and missing spaces... My COLB is what 6 to 7 years OLDER than Obama’s copy of his.... I mean DAMN, he expects paper and printing qualities to match? He accuses me of placing fake tears and stains in it?? WTH?
I think I’ve seen enough. If Polarik owes you an apology, then I will quite surprised. I think you tried to pull some kind of scam.
Polarik, even if we’re wrong, this makes great material for your book. You lucky dog.
Well the corner pic of your COLB has all the EXIF. While, your Photobucket pic has all the attributes removed.
Why?
I have not nor would I try to pass off a forgery. Why would I?
What is an EXIF? Is that one of the numbers on the COLB?
I understand you redacted and I would as well. May I have a higher res at 2400, redacted of course?
Wrong.
I have misrepresented nothing. Nor have I lied. I am almost at the point of calling the State back and asking the lady to send me a letter stating when my COLB was ordered and issued. You guys are insane.
What month was your request and when did you receive the doc.
It’s the simple stuff that says the most. Keep up the good work.
Has to be a property of photobucket, I have no idea, what is an EXIF, I have no idea what you are talking about?
Can you see why we would question your COLB?
It was requested in Feb of 2000 by my mom, I could not request it myself, I could not prove who I was. I received it in the middle of March from her. Third week maybe, something like that. Could have been in the second week. It was all by Snail Mail. Not over-nighted.
From my experience, I'd say that government forms generally carry a revision and date number. I do not know if "11/01" refers to "November 2001" and I wonder, if that is so, why it would be appearing on a document issued in March 2000. It seems far more likely to me that it would read "11/99" (that is, November 1999) instead.
My computer totally locked up the last time I tried to get it to go to 2400 earlier tonight. I was pissed off at the time so I went back to the 600 that Polarik had originally requested. I can try again.
I will say this, if Polarik comes back again and says my document is fake, I will KNOW he is a liar. Mostly because I KNOW this is a legit document. I am at the point of calling the lady back that I spoke to earlier and asking her to send me a letter saying that my mom had my COLB ordered in 2000 and that NO OTHER COLB’s have ever been requested for me by anyone else at any other time. Which is true as well.
I've always had my reservations about that:
...The Omani Arabs posed the most direct challenge to Portuguese influence in East Africa and besieged Portuguese fortresses, openly attacked naval vessels and expelled the remaining Portuguese from the Kenyan and Tanzanian coasts by 1730. By this time the Portuguese Empire had already lost its interest on the spice trade sea route because of the decreasing profitability of that business. Portuguese-ruled territories, ports and settlements remained active to the south, in Mozambique, until 1975.
Omani Arab colonization of the Kenyan and Tanzanian coasts brought the once independent city-states under closer foreign scrutiny and domination than was experienced during the Portuguese period. Like their predecessors, the Omani Arabs were primarily able only to control the coastal areas, not the interior. However, the creation of clove plantations, intensification of the slave trade and relocation of the Omani capital to Zanzibar in 1839 by Seyyid Said had the effect of consolidating the Omani power in the region.

Perhaps by choosing to portray Obama Snr as 'father' another can of worms was opened...for later?
So, regardless of how this goes down, your perspective will be valuable.
No. I can’t. Honestly. I know this is a legit document. I have absolutely zero reason to lie about it. I offered the info to Polarik the information in the hope that it would HELP him. Not for any other reason. I can not explain WHY my COLB has an incorrect date on it. Neither could the person I spoke to. I was not in the room when they printed it. Did I notice it when I got it yea, I did, but I didn’t think anything of it. I assumed it was an expiration or something like that. I didn’t really even give it a second thought until it came up as an issue in the election with Obama’s COLB.
You tell me, what would be the point of me lying? Hua? Come on, you are so sure of it, what the hell is my motive to lie?
WHY would I say that a document that I (if I got the corroboration from Hawaii as to when it was ordered which I am willing to try and do) had ordered in 2000 was anything BUT that? It is what it is and has an incorrect date on it.
I do not know. I remember some discussion of document revision dates, I think it might be on the Obamafile, I will go look there as well.
I just have questions and the information I have been given is troubling.
You have to admit it is weird.
The rev date is November 01, 2001.
The pic you took has all the info, down to EXIF
The pic's of your COLB, previously posted, have all the attributes removed.
I don't see how that happens. Photobucket doesn't strip the attributes. I have several pics from there and just checked in libraries. Many still have the attributes.
Some do not but, I think the author or copy owner stripped the attributes.
