Expert: 'Forger' of Obama birth record left red herring

Researcher Ron Polland, who produced a duplicate of Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate to bolster his argument, believes that the White House-released document was made by a professional forger who created a red herring, intentionally leaving anomalies that could be interpreted as signs of forgery but readily explained.

"The forger was not an amateur and releasing a PDF that looked like an obvious forgery was not an accident," he said.

Polland, who believes there could have been more than one forger, has concluded that the primary forger had a specific appearance in mind for the document. Rather than hide the fact that the PDF was forged, the forger wanted it to be "discovered" initially by critics to be a forgery, he said.

"The forger wanted to create specific anomalies in the PDF that would be interpreted as evidence of forgery, [while] under certain circumstances these anomalies are actually predictable natural outcomes of the software being used," he explained.

The intent, Polland explained, was to enable critics to point to the anomalies as evidence of forgery, so Obama supporters could refute the objections by explaining that the anomalies could be produced, for instance, by running various optimizing, sharpening and adaptive compression procedures resident in Adobe software.

To produce those anomalies, the alleged forger did not "flatten" the PDF file, a process that melds the layers and makes it appear to be a single-layer document.

Polland's expertise includes computer graphics and the use of computer peripherals, such as printers and scanners to input digital images. He earned a Ph.D. in Instructional Systems from Florida State University in 1978 and a masters degree in Educational Research & Psychology from Florida State in 1972.

Obama could have easily posted a clean document that could be easily and objectively certifiable. He didn't and that's a fact.

0b0z0 IS certifiable.

That’s what happens when you hire 12 year olds to do the job. The entire white hut is being run by immature little kiddies.

Maybe, like his jobs bill posters, he solicited artists who would work for free,

and accept as compensation a signed copy of their own work.

We have a winner!

Hence my conclusion (among other reasoning and proof) that it is legitimate: no forger would produce a document as proof of eligibility which proved ineligibility.

Don’t forget to explain how they got the Hawaii officials to say that two certified copies were sent (which implies two distinct seals). Also remember to explain the high res image that has a different seal than the “forged” copy but none of the evidence of “forgery”.

BWAhahahahahahahaha! Perfect.
