There are now modified photos of the COLB that broke here yesterday. The changes are so slight, that no one is noticing them.
The original one posted in breaking news:
One of the modified ones:
The changes are so subtle, you can barely tell which one you are looking at.
This modified one is showing jokes like: The Font of the Certificate=Schmutz (A Schmutz is a chump, as in you are a chump) #5733=The number of the Certificate, is code for : "Problem with Windows REGISTRY", a sly reference to your claim that Obama does not appear on the Hawaii Live Birth Registry. 47O44=Easiest of all. BOH's age=47 0=O (if you look close you can tell that that is a Schmutz Font "Oh" not "Zero") EF Lavender is ORGANIC DISH SOAP
The original one does not say EF Lavender, it says KF Lavender. The original one shows the number is: 47,644.
We’ve been looking at the lettering and folds. Some people had a problem with the lettering and folds, but I didn’t see a problem, although I was focusing on the “typed” text.
Something kept drawing my eyes toward the paragraph at the bottom of both documents. The part that states, “I, XXX, Deputy Registrar of Births, Deaths”, etc. They do NOT match between the Kenyan and Aussie docs. The wording is the same except for the location but the justification does not match. I’m not sure if that matters, but that’s what I kept looking at for some reason.
Then I remembered that making a negative of an image can sometimes reveal a lot more detail. Think “Shroud of Turin”. So, I downloaded the Aussie BC to my desktop, opened the image in Paint (of all things), reversed the image, and looked at that bottom paragraph.
There it became glaringly obvious to me that the text is simply superimposed over an image of a folded piece of paper.
I highly recommend you try the same. Look at the entire image “reversed”, especially the bottom paragraph and how the entire text just goes right across the creases without any alteration. It’s almost comical.
Perhaps someone can post a “negative” of the Aussie BC for all to see what I’m talking about.
Ok..I’m out..
Bookmarking for later...
nite!
It most certainly is. I can see it as plain as day. You are looking at something else.
I like...from where does that come?
O..............M.................G!!!! Please let this be true. TY
Squishy.
Saquin is full of shit. Look around you. There are many dozens of freepers on this trhead that see a K as distinctive as the nose on your face.
Try 685 for the negative, if that helps.
So how did that make a “K” turn into a “E”? There should be differences in more numbers and letters between the two images if that’s the case. The “K” is as clear as can be under higher magnification, and is completely distinct from the “E” in the second photo.
Ask SHield....I’m just the messenger....(so freepers who are still fighting the good fight, can get some sleep)
Im a little confused about #1139 ...who wrote the botton paragraph ?
“After having spent (wasted?) nearly a year in the trenches of Birthistan, I decided several months ago to “retire” and move on, save for dropping by here once in a while to keep in touch with some of the friends I’d made here. And then yesterday this Kenyan birth certificate thing seemed to explode like Krakatoa on the Internet. It was claims about Obama’s Hawaiian certificate being a forgery that suckered me into all this stuff last summer, and I guess I must still be a sucker for a good birth certificate story because I decided to look into this one. I wanted to see if I could find any images of similar documents from Kenya around the same time period that could be compared to the certificate on the web. I spent several hours with Google image search on that before I decided to broaden my search outside of Kenya-specific documents. It was some time later that I finally spotted a thumbnail on one of the results pages that looked very much like the Kenyan certificate. I pulled up the full size image and found that it was virtually EXACTLY the same type of document. It was a scanned image of a “Certified Copy of Registration of Birth” dated in 1964 for a David Jeffrey Bomford on a genealogy website for the Bomford family. Except that David Jeffrey Bomford wasn’t born in Kenya, he was born in South Australia. But what was even more interesting was certain other features of the document as compared to the Kenya certificate. The names of the registrar and the district registrar were the SAME NAMES as given in the Kenya certificate save for the first initials, i.e. G.H. Lavender and J.H. Miller in the Bomford document versus E.H. Lavender and M.H. Miller in the Kenya document. Also, the book number (44B) and page number (5733) were the exactly the same on both documents. The image of the Bomford certificate seems to prove beyond any doubt that not only is the Kenya certificate a fake, but that whomever faked it used the Bomford certificate as the template. Here’s a scaled down image of the Bomford certificate:”
QED
Some of it is word for word what I think Technical Editor posted explaining where he got the Bromford pic
A gold star for you. d=1 cent The sign that looks like a “c” with a line through it resembles a “d” therefore the evolution and confusion.
Sure looks like it.
Kenya was on a decimal system much earlier ... they had schillings and cents (Kenyan 1942 "ONE CENT"), not pence.
I don’t think they were typed or printed over an old form.
More likely an excellent job by a graphics artist working on a picture of an old form and using content from the Kenya BC as a stencil to keep the fonts matching. It’s good work, but you can pretty clearly see how this thing was edited at the pixel-level.
They forgot to put the fold distortion on it. Nice try on their part, imo. Probably spent hours and hours on it.
And that would explain why the Aussie BC doesn’t have an Australian Coat of Arms on it!
I feel the same. When I happened to start reading the comments ‘cuz of the comment by the author at the end of the article....I of course expected just flat out ulginess...whoever reads the comment section anyway......when I read these comments...I flipped out...I want to believe it is true.
Bump Dat...
Truth is too dam hard to come by ...I sure hope the info in #197 is true
The other way around.
I missed that post....thanks for bringing attention to it. Sounds too incredible!
