Kenyan document ignites firestorm over authenticity (Let's Discuss Bomford HERE)
WND ^ | 8/4/09 | Staff

Posted on 08/04/2009 7:33:27 PM PDT by pissant

A document unveiled by a California attorney in her quest to determine President Obama's place of birth has been condemned as a forgery by critics who deride as nonsense the challenges that have been raised to the president based on the U.S. Constitution's demand that the Oval Office occupant be a "natural born" citizen.

But those on the other side, who would like to see the original documentation of Obama's birth place revealed, say there are factors that indicate the Kenyan birth document could be real.

WND reported when the document was submitted to a California court by California attorney Orly Taitz, who has managed several of the high-profile cases challenging Obama's eligibility to be president.

Then yesterday, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., raised the dispute to the floor of that august body, protesting in a speech added to the Congressional Record that the dispute was not worth one minute of time.

The Bomford document has no kerning of the A and T in “REGISTRATION,” and uses f-ligatures (i.e., the “ffi” in “official”); the Kenya document has the kerning and no f-ligatures. The curly braces conjoining the words “living” and “deceased” are of different styles. And curiously, the typist uses a regular numerial “1” in the date of birth, but then uses the slipshod method of employing a lowercase “L” as a “1” for the remainder of the document.

Spose I should've but didn't believe it was necessary. I've read every single post on the long thread and am losing a bit of patience with the day late and dollar short crowd.

No kidding. Next thing you know someone will post "What? Barack Obama is President? When did that happen?"

Ok, everybody, i've gotten veteran ace (not a**) reporter Dan Blather to investigate the document.

His conclusion:

FAKE(then again, maybe not),BUT ACCURATE

Bomford AKA Bamford likely to be a scam artist.

I very much doubt it.

Look, I've been a Freeper here, for five years now. I'm an Australian citizen and I know what Australian birth certificates look like. The Bomford certificate looks exactly like an Australian birth certificate.

This is a certified copy of my own birth certificate from last year (with identifying details removed).

It shows the standard form of an Australian birth certificate. This one looks slightly different from the Bomford because with modern technology, they can print the whole thing from the records, with printed seal, etc, as well as more security features (background printing etc, than they used to when things were harder to copy) - I used to have certified photocopies (I can't find one right now - I think I may have shredded them last year when I got this new one because they were becoming very tattered - why I got a replacement) from the 1970s and 1980s, and they looked virtually identical to the Bomford certificate.

Calling him a fraud because he has a birth certificate that looks like a birth certificate in Australia should look is ridiculous.

Does anyone know if the lawyer is trying to get the photo validated? or a physical copy of what she says is the kenya birth certificate???

I certainly hope she is not trying to validate a photo.
If she is, she needs to be fired, tarred, and then feathered.

If she truly does have a physical copy of what we are all seeing, then our discussion of what we are looking at is all moot. Let’s wait and see... She seems a little fruity to me... however, All she is doing is requesting that it be authenticated, just like we are speculating to determine the same. It’s not like she is making claims that it is valid. There is no way for us to know that what we are seeing is exactly what she has in her hands. Especially considering her online site was obviously hacked and infected.

Lets wait and see.

Thanks for the ping pissant.

One thing I notice regarding the folds: 1) Yes, they don’t match. But 2) It looks to me like they are folded backwards. Example: Instead of folding the document towards you, you fold it under or away from you. Like you would find if you took a folded document and TURNED IT OVER and started typing on the BACKSIDE.

So one thought I have is: Is this genuine old paper, and some old document that someone has flipped to create a forgery on the backside of it? Does anyone else see this or is it just me???

That was my first thought when I saw him for the first time in the US Senate. A Farrakhan goon.

Unless the provenance of the Bomford document is conclusively proven, its similarities to the Obama documents don’t mean much. It’s just as reasonable to posit that someone photoshopped the Obama document to create the Bomford document as it is vice versa.

I wish I’d just directed everyone to that comment section below the article instead of posting them. LOL...
