‘Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless’ [pictures supposedly from forger of Kenya BC]
Washington Independent ^ | 8/6/09 | Dave Weigel

Posted on 08/06/2009 11:53:16 AM PDT by lonewacko_dot_com

It’s looking more and more like the forged “Kenyan birth certificate” released by Orly Taitz on Sunday was a prank by a supporter of President Obama. Politijab points to an anonymous blogger at FearlessBlogging, who has uploaded four photos of the original forgery and a mocking declaration:

Fine cotton business paper: $11

Inkjet printer: $35

1940 Royal Model KMM manual typewriter: $10

2 Shilling coin: $1

Pilot Varsity fountain pen: $3

Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless

The first pic in the article is the original resized, all other ones after that are the punked versions.

Consider this the outside edge of the folded paper would wear the worst over time, and yet the punk version shows no wear at all.

The only ones punked are those that believe this is the same document, close but no cigar.

It’s even take it a step farther, a 1940 royal typewriter was not used to make this forgery, various bit were cut and pasted in photoshop to make it appear real.the reason the rust spot is lighter in color is because it was grabbed off another picture and pasted into the document they created as was the signature, cut and pasted.

Of course the best proof of all is that they had to destroy the evidence by ripping it up and writing “You Have been punked” all over it, had it been the real thing showing it to the press in an unaltered form would have been real proof of a punk.

I apologize. Jumped the gun.

Need to think before posting.

The Thon guy and his little friend were trolls and did get zapped soon after they posted their little duet.

I think some people here (myself included) are getting a little high strung.

Again, apologies.

....The forger of the Kenyan BC broke no laws....

Care to wager on that?

Since Orly has a pending case in Federal court, if the document/photo of document is a forgery, it very possible the person who falsified the document could be prosecuted for Obstruction of Justice, thus warranting a complete investigation,

Title 18 § 1519.USC Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in Federal investigations and bankruptcy How Current is This? Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

And don’t forget the all encompassing ID forgery/theft statute
Identification Fraud 18 USC 1028
includes foreign documents.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1028.html

and of course various state laws.

Somebody ought to be crapping in their pants right about now as they are toast. Judges don’t like people interfering in their cases and I am not suggesting Orly. If they want to the FBI could probably make an arrest by tommorrow...(oh I forgot thats only if Goldman Sachs gets ripped off) I’ll give them a week and see if my tax dollars are going to the right places.

Why doesn’t the MSM media interview this @ss hole... I mean let’s get into his head as to why he would forge a BC of his president... I mean Inquiring minds need to know...

I think the case is closed...

These people have something to hide and they will resort in great measures to hide them...

I am happy as a Lark knowing that it was an Obama guy who fabricated this...

In other words.. the right wing kooks... is none other than

YOU MR. OBAMA.. AND YOUR WEIRDOS...SURROUNDING YOU....

This strategy will backfire because it shows quite clearly that a birth certificate can be forged or counterfeited with not too much effort. Now if Obama's supporters are willing to forge a BC in order to make "birthers" look like fools, the question is now whether Obama's supporters are willing to forge a BC in order to make Obama look like a Natural Born Citizen?

Obviously this little stunt has cast serious doubt on all the birth certificates and the only way to clear it up is for Obama to release the "vital records on file" in Hawaii.

It is clear that Obama's minions are willing to commit fraud to keep the heat off him on this issue. Did they also forge the documents that Obama has allowed to be released to date?

I suspect so. Let's see the Long Form!

Looks like the phony birth certificate wars are on. But still there is no real one for Obama. This is all subterfuge....

If you mean the BC that came out Sunday morning, Farah specifically said it was NOT the big deal. And I really don’t think WND is behind “Punk Boy’s” work.

What would be interesting is how the document got into Orly’s possession. Note that her motion to the court only said that she “has it in [her] possession,” but doesn’t say how she got it. If she just got it in the mail from an anonymous sender and ran to file it in court without doing any due diligence, she is very likely subject to sanctions.

I heard it was someone snoopy around divorce records and page 11 was missing, assuming page 11 might have been the BC

Or, I should say, I don’t see how this law would apply.

Because, the photo is evidence that the document was produced, that is sufficient.

The document did not purport to be issued by a government that existed on the date it was allegedly issued.

The common sense question: why is a living person’s BC posted on the web? That is an invitation for identity theft. A geneologist friend of mine was incredulous that anyone would post one.

If the paper was folded after the document was created, how did he get the letters, both printed and typed, to NOT follow the folds? Even if it was folded before the typed letters, they would still tend to be distorted or “misprinted” pretty badly at the folds. Instead they “float” over the folds, and they are not noticibly distorted or misprinted either.

Not exactly true, you can by mistake or design save a layered image intact for further processing of each individual layer. I do it regularly.

Of course, you can save a Photoshop document for further editing. You don't have to get the whole job done in a single editing session. However, what was published was a JPEG. Those don't retain the layers.

Before the night the whole lot of them will be having a swell conversation among themselves, which is typically what happens. The constitutionalists up and leave.

I disagree that the first pic is the original resized. Resizing can explain the much larger file size, but an enlarged photo has LESS resolution not more, and Photo 1 has much higher resolution and much greater detail. You can’t make that stuff up out of a lower resolution photo (can you?).

*The seal is much crisper in Photo 1.
*There is pixelation at 100% around the text in the Orly/Pacer Photo, but no pixelation (or dithering or whatever its called) around the text in Photo 1.
*The text itself is much crisper in Photo 1: you can see the indents made by the typewriter.
*The color is deeper (or richer) on Photo 1 (though I don’t know if that is relevant).

On the rust spots, I agree that that Photos 2&4 are photos of different documents that Photo 1/Orly’s Photo. On Photos 2&4, the stain spot is different and you can see the typo. Thing is, the stain on Photo 1 and Orly’s photo covers the typo exactly. That’s all just coincidence?

That poster has a great nose for trolls...but he/she will admit a mistake, if that’s what it was.

My solace is I know that Ultimately, justice is always served. Cold or hot.

Everything is witnessed, recorded, and everyone gets their just desserts.

I know it, and it gives me great comfort and strength.
