Shocker: Obama's "birth certificate" forged with sister Maya's original

Cannon had some valid complaints, to which I privately concurred.

However, when he stepped into the “I don’t doubt that the Kos COLB image is genuine,” I had to step in and challenged him on it.

[pissant]

I’ve read a fair amount by Cannon. He flaps his gums a little too loosely for me to take him seriously.

Israeli Insider has now run with it.. Israeli Insider is a great tertiary news source.

Publicity is key. We both know it is a forgery. Others’ speculating and reporting that it is a forgery, regardless of the precision of their particular technical analysis (or lack thereof) is welcome.

I agree that publicity is needed, but the problems are that (1) faulty research is being publicized, and (2) much more is required than the precision of one's analysis.

The difficulty to replicate his work is one factor that casts a dark shadow on his results, as are the facts that run counter to his theory.

The reason why replication and validation are critical here, is because if any part of his work is disproved, then the entire process for finding forgeries is permanently damaged.

This is a case of one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch.

I do not agree that the barrel is spoiled. Techdude has some good analysis along with his not so good analysis. It certainly is not helpful to claim to find Maya’s name there if no one else can replicate it, but if Techdude’s continued analysis helps publicize the fact that it is a forgery, then good.

Similar to the NE and Edwards. Even if the ‘lovechild’ is not Silky’s, the fact is the Enquirer KNEW they were having an affair, and the term lovechild, accurate or not, helped publicize the story. So they may have got some of the details wrong, they still nailed him.

I assumed the COLB was a fake even before your analysis proved it based on two things: The crappy way the border misaligned, and the fact that it did not look like any scanned document I’ve ever seen, rather it looked like it was created via computer. That would not be possible since the DOH does not email such documents and would therefore have had to be a scanned jpeg, which it wasn’t.

I called him out. br>
I bet him a month's salary that he could not prove that the Kos image is genuine. br>
Never heard back from him.

I do not agree that the barrel is spoiled

Well, that's true. According to the apple, he's the only one in the barrel.

Thanks for your hard work, pissant & polarik.

Thank you for the acknowledgment. I believe that credit should be given where credit is due. Not everyone shares this view, however.

It is way past time for the National Enquirer to jump on this story. The MSM is not going to do it for obvious reasons. Because they are enjoying a peak in credibility due to their recent revelations of the Edwards Love Child Affair they are the obvious choice to break this story.

Surely we have amongst the many enterprising Freepers just one who has a contact at National Enquirer. If so, it is time to make that phone call or send that e-mail.

Do it.

o: HundredDollars; Polarik; expatguy; SE Mom Actually a group of Pajama Warriors have been tracking out Obama's birth legend and citizenships and religions and other basic loyalty-related issues for months. Before the forged CoLB was released, there were Dr. Corsi and expatguy looking into it, with the release of the forgery Polarik steadfastly and persistently investigated it and found the text had been modified. Since the start of July a whole bunch of freepers have been on the case -- see The Long Thread.

Techdude first launched his investigation on AtlasShrugs, a conservative site run by Pam Geller.

Thank you for the recognition. That's all I ever asked of those who have worked with me, or have used my work.

[pissant]

LOL.

[bvw]

Honestly, I had originally thought the whole CoLB thing was a tempest in a teapot. That Obama was born to an American mom, therefore he was “natural born” — and that was after skimming over Blackstone on that term. Your perseverance along with others on the forgery and all the information sharing and discussions all we all have had here and on other forums have really helped me understand the issue, to settle out the specks of gold in the wash pan.

But were you there during Muhammad Zia’s rule?

I was there while Zia was president. My dad was there working for USAID off and on in the 80's.

There was actually a major American presence in Pakistan at that time - the US extended a bunch of aid to Pakistan in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1980.
