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.

Obama’s recently disclosed admission that he visited Pakistan in 1981. The context of his visit “When you are young, you are trying to know who you are and you do different things to define your identity.” For Obama it is even more profound as he is from mixed race with a Muslim father and it is only natural to know who he is and purpose of his life.
“Let me set the stage for you. I want to explain to you what
I know about Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India) and why young Muslim students used to visit these 2 cities in 70’s & 80’s.
Knowing Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India), they are no tropical Islands or paradises. As most of you know Pakistan was in a turmoil during 70’s & 80’s because of dictatorship and Afghanistan war. I know lot more about Hyderabad in India. It has a significant Muslim population and there is lot of religious tension and unease in the same time period 70’s & 80’s.
Lot of young Muslim students trying to define their identity often visited troubled areas in Pakistan (like Karachi) and Muslim majority areas in India (like Hyderabad). Both these cities were a hot bed of religious strife and extremism.
“Curious as to why he visited these 2 strife ridden cities in 80’s. Surprised that media is not going after or checking out this visit to see what he did.
Obama had so far as I could discover, never disclosed this information before. He indicated that one of his roommates, who was only detailed as “Sadik,” had been here past the end of his visa. In those days, that happened all the time (1980s). Obama does not provide a last name, or any other biographical information about “Sadik.” Why not?
Obama indicated he had two friends who were at either Occidental College, or, Columbia University. He named them and both can be googled. The name “Soomro,” should have raised another level of interest, since that name has been associated with a Sindh family which goes back to the Partition of Pakistan/India. The grandfather was, in fact, a confidant of Jinna, the President of Pakistan. Jinna was also a militant Islamists and would not compromise with Gandhi on the formation of a new, Muslim centered nation. The country of Pakistan was broken into East and West Pakistan, originally. The eastern of the two was reamed Bangladesh, and is adjacent to Burma (Myanmar).
Google Mian Mohammadian Soomro and you will see that he was born in 1950 v. 1961 for Obama. In 1981, Mohammadian Soomro was 31 and already in the banking business. He was apparently known as a torch bearer for the famous Soomro family in Sindh State. He became a governor of Sindh, and if you review his resume, he has been on the boards of directors, or, a key officer of several banks in Saudi Arabia.
One source who responded to me from India opined that perhaps Obama hadn't really visited Hyderabad, India, but Hyderabad, Pakistan. I don't know if that is the case, because other than his “self-innoculation” admission that he visited Pakistan, Obama hasn't laid out the trip's itinerary at all.
My source also suggested that in all likelihood, in that era (1981), Obama’s Pakistani friends were well connected and upper class (with money). It is possible that Obama’s entree to Mr. Soomro was arranged by a third party. Obama has used the disclosure in San Francisco to buttress his claim that he is more conversant with “foreign policy issues,” than either Clinton or McCain.
I'd like to point out the duplicity involved with Senator Clinton's claim to having been in Kosovo when snipers were blazing away, and the absolute FIRE STORM of criticism she received for exaggeration, or, out right lying. How come nothing of the kind for Obama and his comments about Pakistan? He also has prided himself on understanding the environment of street Pakistanis, since he allegedly saw Kenya, Indonesia and Pakistan from the streets, and among “the people,” who were humble, poor, disenfranchised, etc.
How hypocritical to have the trip arranged by a well-connected banker already known in Pakistan, (possibly Yemen and Indonesia) as well as Saudi Arabia. Recent comments made by now former Prime Minister Soomro indicated that he felt the relationship Pakistan & Iran has had was more workable than anything the Americans would like to see occur in Pakistan's new government.
Obama has been highly critical of General Musharraf. And yet, his old friend, Mr. Soomro (who says he telephones Obama at times), was a confidante of Musharraf. We don't know why, but it is very interesting in the least.
The complete itinerary of Obama has never been clarified. He allegedly only spent four days in Jacobabad. He is not clear about the other two cities. Were they the only three cities he visited? I believe his overall itinerary was: Indonesia, Pakistan, Kenya. Or, perhaps Kenya, Pakistan, Indonesia.
We have plenty of information that in 1981, the U.S. was working intimately with Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan, in funneling money and weapons to the “mujahadeen” fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. There were also a cadre of such mujahadeen called “Arab Afghans,” which meant: Arab Muslims from all over the Arabic World (sometimes referred to as ‘The Hub Of Islam,’ including: Ayman al Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden.
ISI absolutely REFUSED to allow the U.S. to have any direct dealings with these mujahadeen. They could not train them, nor could they know, entirely, who these folks were. For the very best description of these people, see Josepf Bodansky’s “Obasam bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War On America.” He has laid out in detail the many sides of Pakistani ISI. It is not a bit unheard of for such agencies, in such times, to have it's “ear to the ground,” about foreign visitors. It would have been of interest to ISI to certainly know about visitors coming from Indonesia to Pakistan, or coming from Kenya, to Pakistan, and, to have a mother who was connected with the U.S. Government.
I'd suggest that people google “Stanley Ann Dunham,” Obama’s mother. She worked for: USAID; the Ford Foundation; Women's World Banking. At some point, Mohammadian Soomro’s banking business including a woman's bank of Pakistan. It is also likely that he would have known about the activities of USAID’s and The Ford Foundation's activities in Pakistan, since they were both agencies which funneled money into many, many projects in Pakistan in this time frame.
Mr. Soomro was, until recently, the interim government Prime Minister to General Pervez Musharraf. He was not neutral so far as Musharraf went. He was reported by some papers in Pakistan to have been a clear associate of Gen. Musharraf. The environment of Karachi, Hyderabad, and Jacobabad, was active politically ... “As most of you know Pakistan was in a turmoil during 70’s & 80’s because of dictatorship and afghanistan war. I know lot more about Hyderabad in India. It has a significant Muslim population and there is lot of religious tension and unease in the same time period 70’s & 80’s.
Lot of young muslim students trying to define their identity often visited troubled areas in Pakistan (like Karachi) and Muslim majority areas in India (like Hyderabad). Both these cities were a hot bed of religious strife and extremism.”
Please read that carefully. See references above to the interaction between C.I.A. and ISI. And the domination of I.S.I.’s ability to control American access to “mujahadeen.”
In court, when someone introduces a line of reasoning, say, to buttress their character, they may suddenly open the entire area to cross-examination. Obama, not the Clintons, or the GOP, has done exactly that, with his admission of being in Pakistan. He has not provided more details.
Allegedly, there was an article in the Karachi Daily Times (English), which broke a story in March, about Obama’s disclosure of visiting Pakistan. He was very specific about his views on Islam and a Muslim Conference, if he were President, and how, again, his street experience trumps the experiences of Clinton and McCain.
There are powerful reasons for the Democratic National Committee to have vetted the entire itinerary of Barack Obama in this time frame. Why? To counter any NEW bombs which might absolutely take Obama into a fire storm of criticism, if, for instance, ANY of the people he associated with in Pakistan, have since been identified, for instance, as operatives of ISI, or, al-Qaeda, or any other Islamist group. If he is clean, that's fine. If not, then the Democrats voting now should know that if there are now doubts about certain parts of THIS story, everyone should KNOW it.
Obama “self-innoculated” himself on the cocaine use. He then whined when someone said something about his coke use. African-American communities all across America have been devastated by crack cocaine use. There are big differences in marijuana and cocaine particularly, crack, so far as how African-Americans who have seen their communities sink under it's use, are concerned. Yet, when the owner of JET or EBONY made those claims, he was denounced as being unfair, and playing dirty politics.
Self-innoculation, so far as Obamistas are concerned, cannot mean any future negative discussion on same.
It is also possible that the Pakistan disclosure came because whoever peeked at his State Department Passport files blew the whistle on the Pakistan trip. Until then, unless I am greatly mistaken, Obama had never referred to it.
Taking the disclosure, and then running with it, as an example of his hubris, or his supreme experience in foreign policy (his view), is a way to further say: hey, I'M the one who disclosed this. You can't USE THIS against me.
“My point being you (at the time) only studied Russian for the point of defeating the USSR or entreating it.
Which was it for Obama’s parents?”

Excerpt:
In his book, Obama writes about “a poet named Frank,” who visited his family in Hawaii, read poetry, and was full of “hard-earned knowledge” and advice. Who was Frank? Obama only says that he had “some modest notoriety once,” was “a contemporary of Richard Wright and Langston Hughes during his years in Chicago...” but was now “pushing eighty.” He writes about “Frank and his old Black Power dashiki self” giving him advice before he left for Occidental College in 1979 at the age of 18.
Is it possible that Obama did not know who Davis was when he wrote his book? That’s not plausible, since Obama refers to him as a contemporary of Richard Wright and Langston Hughes and says he saw a book of his black poetry.
Professor Gerald Horne, a history professor at the University of Houston, noted that Davis, who moved to Honolulu from Kansas in 1948 “at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson,” came into contact with Barack Obama and his family and became the young man’s mentor, influencing Obama’s sense of identity and career moves. Robeson, of course, was the well-known black actor and singer who served as a member of the CPUSA and apologist for the old Soviet Union. Davis had known Robeson from his time in Chicago.
As Horne describes it, Davis, who wrote the memoir, “Living the Blues,” had “befriended” a “Euro-American family” that had “migrated to Honolulu from Kansas and a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama, who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago.”

I'm not familiar with Maui, never been to that island. We did live in Kailua Kona for a while in the late 60's plus I had some liberty in Honolulu during my Navy Daze in the mid 60's.
Sorry I can't be more help. Appreciate all the work you're putting into this.
For the second trip, he traveled to Sindh on a hunting expedition and went on shikar in Jacobabad. He was a guest, it is said, of the current caretaker prime minister and the latter claims that he is still in touch with him. Obama came to Pakistan when he was merely a state senator, more than a decade ago and not a full blown senator in the US Senate.
How right you are. That is Ann's father, Obama's grandfather. Isn't it?
Yep. Stanly Dunham, I presume.
Extreme Bump!
Well, thanks. I have already seen a lot of FReepers referring to these reports of what the relatives in Kenya said, but still haven’t seen any actual reports.
Weak, real weak.
Pregnant by a Kenyan Muslim? Check.
Kenyan Muslim's family in Kenya? Check.
Marries another foreign Muslim...? Check.
Moves all the way out to Indonesia, with son, to live? Check.
Gives birth to her second child while living in Indonesia? Check.
Actual visit to Kenya....? Not possible.
O-K...
Again, “someone said that someone said...” This is really looking more and more like the stuff of myth.
Frank is Frank Marshall Davis a known communist and much more:

Whoa!
Within that context, Lolo's expulsion just doesn't make sense. Couldn't he have qualified for some kind of asylum considering his wife and stepson were American citizens...?
What am I missing....?
I would love to see those. I have seen only speculation and hearsay. I am truly interested in seeing those because so many on this thread claim to have personal knowledge of this testimony. Where is it?
Hmmmmm.
Someone is obviously searching for something...
There is absolutely ZERO witnesses of any sort for Obama in Hawaii regarding his birth.
And don’t think there isn’t a big $ bounty for anyone in the islands that can bring forth anything in that black info hole.
To counter opponents’ accusations that he lacks experience in foreign policy, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois often cites his ties to relatives in poor villages in Kenya and the years he spent growing up in Indonesia. Now he has added a new personal detail to that résumé: a trip to Pakistan while a college student.
Mr. Obama, the front-runner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, made the disclosure Sunday night while speaking to supporters at a fund-raiser in San Francisco. His remarks, in which he poked fun at the utility of traditional foreign policy qualifications like government officials traveling abroad on fact-finding missions, were recorded and were quickly placed on the Web.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/10/us/politics/10obama.html
Though he had never referred to the trip before, a number of reporters asked Obama’s press team about the trip, and now Team Obama has laid out the facts of the matter:
Was Obama informed by the State Department, or FBI, that the people who intruded into your Passport Files were looking specifically for whether you'd ever been to Pakistan? And that his “self-innoculation” discussion on April 10, 2008, when he said he was more savvy on foreign affairs than McCain or Clinton, was a way of heading off the posse?
He's the king of ‘self-innoculation’. Acknowledge the first Pakistan trip, while ignoring the more recent Pakistan trip.
