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

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

[SE Mom]

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.

The fact that he keeps changing his info works against him.

I didn’t see a year in that story though. We have found some descriptencies with Maya’s age and year she was born. He could have been 10 at any year.

I am actually wondering if our threads are helping tune the information.

Absolutely!

I can tell you from direct experience that even the best sources can get it wrong.

It is the readers' sharp eyes that recognize and question errors in the accumulated body of articles -- just as Fred Nerks did above -- every time an error is identified, then the research to correct it can begin.

Oddly enough, the Obama supporters that just don't go "lies, lies, lies," but point out inconsistencies, have been invaluable in this effort.

I want website to be as correct as humanly possible.

Kids who don't know their real fathers are told a lot of strange things. Or they make up fantasies. You don't want someone that unstable in the White House. His mother may even have told him stories like that. He's had three different names, what does that tell you? He wasn't sure what religion he belonged to and then it took a long time to get a straight answer that he opposed some of the things the reverend in Chicago was ranting about. Although even that is unclear. If he doesn't have a real birth certificate from a location within the U.S., what happens? Or if even the official one is fake?

That wasn’t a positive remark to your efforts. That was a negative report to reports such as the A.P. I’ve seen them update their reporting. Which means, it isn’t reporting, it is spinning.

[Calpernia]

And in no way did I intend my post 1,725 to take any positives away from your efforts. I embrace them.

We know who Pinocchio is. Now who is Gepetto?

Thanks for the link. On reading, it looks like McKinnon did not say he forged the Kos certificate...

[Beckwith]

So far I have found they divorced in 1972, the late 70’s and 1980.

You are correct in one sense. There is a lot of conflicting information on the life and times of Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama. Most of what we know comes from Obama's own autobiography/fable, and he has demonstrated that he plays fast and loose with the facts and the truth.

But through the process of eliminating information that is clearly incorrect we can evolve our way to correctness -- at least given the skill that this guy is using in bamboozling, hoodwinking, and okie doke'ing his way to the White House.

That Obama showed up at Punahou School in the fall of 1972 supports the 1972 divorce date.

Maya was born in 1968. She would have been 4 or 5 in 1972.

Cut her some slack.

[Beckwith]

You're just looking for an argument early on a pleasant Sunday morning.

Think what you want and believe what you want.

Didn’t he say that his momma and daddy got together because of that bridge in Selma in 1965?

McKinnon, Jim, he be, like most those of his politic inclination, the one absent humor and zest and zing. He comes off like some character stepped from the pages of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter long in word and seeking to make nightmare real by whatever serious and gravitasious means available as long as such means go on and on forever in words and words and words bending and twisting and gyrating -- oops, scratch gyrating -- and meandering like some slow muddy river full of senile bullfrogs.

Folks who are clever are never without humor, and Freepers are clever.

If their crazy conspiracy is to be true it means that Obama and his parents should have been faking his birth certificate since he was few years old in order for him to obtain a passport.

That could be. Of all possibilities at this time, I think it is the most likely. Yet I think by sometimes in his late teens, Obama also knew and went along with the storyline.

[bvw]

Assumptions. And I am close to certain that the “Senator getting more scrutiny” one is absent any basis in fact.

::Laughing!::

Here is a graphic screaming to be made!

[Calpernia]

I think you misread my posts to you.

[Calpernia]

There were some posts prior to Fred Nerks pinging you here of photos that suggest Maya was older.

There are two the Dunham sections in the obamafile site. They appear one after the other. In the upper the Dunham section it states that the divorce from Lolo was in 1972.

http://theobamafile.com/ObamaFamily.htm

"The Dunhams In 1972, When Anna divorced from Lolo, she took Barack to live with her parents, Barack's grandparents, in Honolulu. Anna and Obama's half-sister Maya returned to Indonesia.

Except for occasional visits to Hawaii, Dunham would remain in Indonesia for the remainder of her life. Shortly before her death of ovarian cancer, Anna returned to Hawaii, where she died in 1995." So we have that Lolo and Stanley Ann Dunham divorced in 1972. We have Maya Obama's stepsister saying that she was 9 years old when they divorced in 1972. This puts Maya's birth year as 1963. We can also see from the picture that this means Obama was probably born before Hawaii became a state.

So if Obama was born in Hawaii before it became a state does that mean that he is not a natural born citizen?

I believe the answer is yes.

Therefore, assuming this information is correct, I believe he is ineligible to run for President.
