Can anyone think of a cogent reason, other than to hide the evidence of forging, why someone would go to all this trouble to fundamentally change the way an original 300 DPI scan image should look like?

On September 8, 2004, Dan Rather cited “exclusive information, including documents” to justify major CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes stories alleging that George W. Bush shirked his duties when he was in the Texas Air National Guard in the 1960s and 1970s. Within a few hours of those documents being posted on CBS News’s Web site, however, typography experts voiced skepticism that the documents had actually originated with their alleged author and Bush’s former commanding officer, the late Lt. Colonel Jerry Killian. As the evidence mounted, Rather stubbornly clung to the idea that his story was bulletproof, and he derided critics as partisans and Internet rumormongers. When he “apologized” on September 20, Rather would not concede that the documents were forgeries, only that he and CBS could “no longer vouch for their authenticity.”
CBS Disregarded Experts, Challenged Laura Bush: ABC’s Brian Ross reported on the September 14 World News Tonight that “two experts hired by CBS News say the network ignored concerns they raised prior to the broadcast about the disputed National Guard records.” But over on CBS, reporter John Roberts wondered why President Bush wasn’t taking those memos seriously: “The President has yet to weigh in on new documents about his National Guard record made public last week by 60 Minutes.” Roberts also chastised First Lady Laura Bush for doubting CBS’s memos were authentic: “Laura Bush offered no evidence to back up her claim, and CBS News continues to stand by its reporting.”
Sticking By His Smear: On September 10, Dan Rather responded to charges the memos he cited as proving Bush’s dereliction were forged, telling his CBS Evening News audience that the memos were genuine and attacking any doubters as partisan rumor-mongers. “Today, on the Internet and elsewhere, some people, including many who are partisan political operatives, concentrated not on the key questions of the overall story, but on the documents that were part of the support of the story,” Rather castigated. But his lame defense ignored key challenges to the documents’ typography and content, and the doubts voiced by the widow and son of the supposed author, the late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian. Instead, Rather chose to repeat his indictment of President Bush’s National Guard service. Rather arrogantly concluded: “If any definitive evidence to the contrary of our story is found, we will report it. So far there is none.” (CyberAlert, September 11, 2004)
Of course, the fact that he has been in more mosques than Churches since usurping the Presidency and is rabidly anti-israel and pro-arab should not be taken as a sign that he is a crypto-muslim.
Until recently, my profile linked to my actual business, so for years, people here knew who I was.
You’ve been outed by:

You have NO credentials in document examination.
You have been lying to everyone, and now everyone will know.
By the way, you really should post a picture that’s taken more recently than 30 years ago, don’t you think?
Who delivered him, what doctor?
What Hospital?
What time?
Where are his passport records?
You attacking one "Polarick" sheds no light on any of those questions, so your attack is pointless.
you mean like liberals had the 9/11 government conspiracy going? And that Bush went to Iraq to take all their oil? And how Halliburton was stealing from Americans while diane feinstein funneled money to her husband? How the oil men went to war because they were in oil and how they raised gas prices intentionally?
Spare me. Valerie Plame was a political agenda and nothing else. the timelines prove this.
Let’s talk about the progressive agenda and ethics violations going on right now that the dems in control are refusing to look into. lets look at the ACORN fraud that taxpayers are funding. Rangel, Pelochio, Feinstein, Dodd, murtha, the list goes on and on. Not conspiracies but the facts are there and dems, hey, we aren’t going to do anything about it.
Let’s talk about Pelochio doubling the deficit since she took over in 2006 and obama tripling it in 6 months.
conspiracies, the one most hurtful was the government was in on 9/11. Don’t talk to me about nuts.
Unless you have evidence on what Obama is hiding, all you are doing is attacking someone trying to find truth. Do you have all this information in the form of a legal document we can see?
Who delivered obama, what doctor?
What Hospital?
What time?
Where are his passport records?
where are his senate records? By law he must keep them and he said maybe they were thrown away.
where are his college records?
how did he pay for college?
what kind of grades did he get in college?
If he went to Indonesia and was adopted, where and when did he come back to the states and on what passport?
Where is obama’s mother birth certificate?
You’ve been outed by:
by whom? outed? it is a website saying nothing about any evidence but a lot of jealousy over a single person trying to find truth. It goes to court cases with no decisions. That goes more to obama not telling the truth than anything. It may take a year or two but obama will answer in the courts. I promise you that.
why don’t spend your time trying to get obama to show his documents and get this out of the way instead of berating anyone asking for verification? Then you can come back here and say neener neener you were all wrong. Like G Gordon Liddy said, when Chris Matthews proves Obama is natural born we will admit and apologize we are wrong. Not a problem but until then....
I am way more concerned by all of these people calling birthers names, ridiculing them and they have no facts whatsoever. I feel like obama is using taxpayer money to send out these goons to deflect truth. To make everyone sound stupid and not go further. the reports onTV never have the whole facts of the case or they choose not too.
If everyone stopped thinking and asking questions of the powers that be, the progressives in charge right now would be euthanizing seniors over 65 immediately. It would be Hitlers regime all over again.
The POINT is that it’s kinda hard to say one is seeking the truth, when doing so based on a lie. If the story is accurate, Polarik has misled everyone here.
THAT DOES NOT affect any of your statements, Rome2000, about what Obama has refused to disclose.
That DOES — or should — affect the weight given to Polarik’s various claims.
Yup. He’s not to be trusted. No document examination experience.
And he’s got a vintage website to go along with his vintage picture: circa late 1990s.

There is something fundamentally wrong with this picture.
It has been reported that Husseins college education was paid for by Khalid Al-Mansour, a black panther with ties to the Saudis.
The man has no verifiable background and IS HIDING DAMAGING INFORMATION related to his eligibility to be POTUS, his association with known communists and terrorists, and indeed his loyalty to the USSA.
It is NOT going away, because every day this marxist son of a whore tries to nationalize another industry, take more of our money, and take more of our freedom, in fact running the nation as if it was some third world African marxist dictatorship like Zimbabwe.
There is a reason this is happening, that he is not governing with this nations best interests as a priority, and that reason appears to be that he is trying to destroy America.
The Obama Campaign had an $850 million budget. They could have bought certified paper copies of his real birth certificate and given them to all 535 members of Congress.
The Obama Campaign had an $850 million budget. They could have spent one-thousand of one percent of it and bought the Imacon FlexTight scanner (which scans at 8,000 DPI), about the best scanner you can buy, and used it to make a digital scan.
I have a $100 Canon scanner that I used to make real scans: ones that clearly show the texture of the paper, clearly show the Seal and both folds, and accurately reproduce the actual color and appearance of a real COLB.
But, what they did instead, was to make a single scan image that does not show the texture of the paper, does not show anything more than pieces of the Seal, does not show both folds, and does not accurately reproduce the actual color and appearance of a real COLB.
I began my research on June 13 of last year with a very simple hypothesis: "
Is it possible to naturally produce an original scan image like the one posted online?"
The answer is, "No."
The fact that I am the only one to take an original scan of a real COLB and make it look like the Obama COLB "scan" - and to document what I did to do that, should be telling, in and of itself.
Basically, the bottom line is that you cannot take a real COLB, put it on the scanner, any scanner, and simply press SCAN, and expect it to come out looking like the Obama COLB "scan." You have to manually manipulate the image itself by changing the color balance, blurring, then sharpening the image, and saving it more than once.
These manual changes were not made to make the scan image "better-looking," but "worse-looking," especially the border when compared to original scans of known COLBs with the same border.
Can anyone think of a cogent reason, other than to hide the evidence of forging, why someone would go to all this trouble to fundamentally change the way an original 300 DPI scan image should look like?
I've made several hundred COLB scans myself. Other than increasing the exposure level on the scanner, as you would with a camera, all of the images were originals and fully representative of the COLB document I was trying to reproduce.
All of them had a very visible Seal and second fold line, and if you saw the photo I took of it, it would show that the Seal impression in mine is way more shallow than what appears in Factcheck's photos.
There is no reason on Earth why the Seal shown in the photos would not be visible on a 300DPI scan of it. It doesn't take a document forensic expert to see that: a child can see that.
Factcheck refers to their photos as "high resolution," but, in reality, the resolution of their photos is 180DPI, less than the 300DPI resolution of scanned images.
Scanners produce a more accurate representation of a paper document than do cameras: unlike a camera, they don't have to be precisely aliged to the document and you don't have to worry about focusing and controlling the lighting to avoid color casts and shadows as you would with a camera.
so, for anyone to say that Factcheck photos absolved the the Obama Campaign from having to make any more scans - of better quality and both sides of a COLB -- is patently ludicrous.
Obama supporters are convinced in their mind that the "scam image" is real, genuine, and conclusive proof of his birth in Hawaii, and the only way to resolve the cognitive dissonance is to marginalize the people producing the facts to the contrary.
Worse yet is for Factcheck and Politifact to insist he is a "committed Christian."
"Committed" to what?
excellent job.. please let us all know when you get this published.

Logic seems to be trumped by insanity in the minds of The One’s Followers
Well Done!!
