Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.

The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.

Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.

McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

Yeah, I'm just trying to catch up. I've been distracted by other things the past few days, and might have missed something.

See post 1037 above from Tapatio.

Well the guy in the background has something black on his wrist in one and a watch in the other. Somethings definitely up.

Try this, first website: kansasprairie.net » BARACK OBAMA SR. AND JR.

I wondered about that. It looks gold in onepic and black in the other. I thought it was a gold watch and the pic where it was black was of the band. His arm is turned in one as compared to the other.

What do you think?

[SE Mom]

Ok all you awesome sleuths- I’m done for the day :)

[tsmith130]

Where and by whom did the photo of his mother and father at an airport get tagged as a ‘wedding photo’?

[Jet Jaguar]

I noticed that as well. However, the background is exactly the same. Same decorations even.

[cajungirl]

Don’t know.

But I just went back and looked at the pics. On the white band at the top where it says San Francisco in one pic, it says Phillipines on the other. Odd,,pic needs examiining more to tell where it is taken. Obamas Mother looks awfully young

I could be wrong in a vague memory here, but was there an attempt on the part of Justices to clarify this all sometime within the past 2 to 3 years?

Alexander the Great had blonde hair, or so says Colin what’s his name.

[Fred Nerks]

Try this link and click through the first 2 pics. The NY Daily news portrays both those pics as the one time his father visited him.

Another link from Wikipedia (which I hate to even quote) has the pic of him and his father and it says that the pic was taken in Hawaii.

No soup for you!

I also noticed a faint line that seemed out of place that runs through the “state of Hawaii” seal at the top of the page that seems out of place with the embossing or watermark that makes up the background. It might just be part of the design, but it looked like something had been misaligned. I

I thought it was a fold line but it was in an odd location for a fold.

"If those were taken at different times, I am a monkey's uncle. Heck even the agent in the background is the same guy. So what we can conclude is the picture purported to be a ‘wedding’ photo taken shortly after their marriage is a false presumption."

I am sorry that I got this started. In the Time magazine it states that "Ann seemed drawn to foreign men. First she married Kenyan Barack Obama Sr., below,......" Below it shows the picture of Ann and Barack Sr. I just ASSUMED it was their wedding picture.

Tapatio, thanks for posting the two pictures so we found out for sure it was NOT a wedding picture.

Biglook, even though the picture Tapatio posted shows San Francisco if you read the article it says it was at Honolulu airport. The Screen must have changed to San Fran.

Sorry! It works for me but I’m new so I don’t know what I’m doing.
