David Bomford Talks About the Forgers Who Used His Birth Certificate to Smear Obama

Wash. Independent Afterbirther ^ | 8/4/09 | David Weigel (who else?)

[pissant]

PM, a series on the Australian Broadcast Channel, tracked down David Bomford, the man whose Australian birth certificate was used as the basis for the forged “Obama Kenyan birth certificate” that Orly Taitz posted online Sunday.

The key bit of the interview:

DINA ROSENDORFF: Looking over the documents in question Mr Bomford still can’t quite believe his eyes.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It’s little old me and my mum and everything else up there. Oh I definitely confirm that the birth certificate was mine. That was quite easy to see – my address, even the style of the birth certificate was an old South Australian one.

So it’s quite easy to identify that it’s mine.

DINA ROSENDORFF: And looking at the fake Kenyan birth certificate what do you make of it?

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It’s definitely a copy of my certificate. It’s so laughable it’s ridiculous.

Adam Serwer asks whether this could be the end of the “birther” movement. That seems unlikely, but it’s at least as dangerous to their movement as the fake documents in the 2004 CBS News story on George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard was to liberals and Democrats who wanted to prove that Bush skipped out on his duties. Orly Taitz, in particular, has stopped being an amusing curiosity, and become a scandalous figure even inside the birther movement who submitted fraudulent documents to courts of law.

First Koyaan "finds" the Bomford BC which was not searchable via google or other search engines. Now and Aussie news outlet conveniently finds the guy.

Bomford's BC was "found" after the Kenyan BC. There is nothing to prove the Australian BC is not forged unless Bomford obtains and publishes a new reissue that contains identical information

Bomford is not obligated to give proof but neither is anyone else obligated to believe his unsupported statements.

[silverleaf]

LOL! This guy is being pwned by the minute. Check the 6000+ birth certificate thread- lots of research being compared
(hint- start at the end and work back up)

Nice try Dave, no cigar.

So who is Mr. Bomford?

For what it's worth, there was one "David Bomford" from Australia listed in Facebook last night. I just looked again and it is now gone.

[STARWISE]

Wow .. talk about the speed of light for
information and communication to go around
the world in this age of technology.

So .. the fraud attempt was just begun Sunday,
released yesterday to foist the hoax on the
on the world, and the method and source of
the template ... have already been revealed
today ?

I LOVE IT!! Technology has truly leveled
the playing field, and we FReepers have
abundant advantages in our flock of very
savvy and skillful members, whose resources,
talents, knowledge and passion know no bounds,
especially when motivated by plants, frauds
and fakers trying to deprive us of our right
to know and our freedoms.

Hallelujah .. AMAZING!

DON’T MESS WITH FREEPERS !

Was his site hacked ? If so why would anyone need to do that?

If they wanted an image to create another fake image cant they just pull it off the internet?

If it was hacked its because they needed to insert a fake image on the web site
_____________
I was wondering the same thing.

[mojitojoe]

See, it’s articles like this that drive me crazy. There is not a shred of evidence to back that story up. None. Why do they even bother to report that? If you have a story, name names, show documents. Without that, it’s just fiction. I believe it’s probably true, but not based on their story, based on my own observations.

[FTJM]

Agreed, and the Washington Independent gets the US scoop on this story and conveniently was linked to on the Bomford website. Something smells. Somebody needs to find a long form Aussie BC from that town and year for comparison. If the Bomford BC is real then this was a set up to discredit Orly and be another Memogate and kill the birth certificate issue. If true, that is the story that needs to be exposed.

You can draw your own conclusions, however a betting man would find favorable odds that a one "David Weigel" is part of the fraud campaign.

You can draw your own conclusions on which one is "definitely" a fake:

Or the Australian that appeared out of thin air.


Thanks for the ping.

bit of the interview: David Weigel + DINA ROSENDORFF + DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: Looking over the documents in question Mr Bomford

That's FAST "debunking", ( too good to be true.)

[pissant]

David Ratface Weigel is DEFINITELY part of the Axelrod cabal.

[PA Engineer]

I believe this has been in the works for a couple of weeks. The coordination is mind boggling. This could only be possible with a very compliant and eager media. This is one reason why I refer to it as the “occupation” media in my tagline. The other of course is no one voted for them.

[freekitty]

Yep, it’s designed to confuse us.

[pissant]

This is turning into an epic war. We will win.

Adam Serwer asks whether this could be the end of the “birther” movement.>

This is turning into an epic war. We will win.

I'm not sure who Adam Sewer is, but I don't see why somebody mucking up the water with fake documents changes any of the basic facts. We will win. I sure believe that, because I do not believe that Americans will settle for Amerika.

MARK COLVIN: An unsuspecting Adelaide public servant has found himself swept up in a conspiracy to oust the 44th President of the United States from office.

A movement known as the Birthers, which originated in California, is attempting to prove that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, therefore making him ineligible to be President.

In a bid to stake their claim they released what appeared to be a Kenyan birth certificate with Obama’s name on it.

Sceptics soon traced the bogus birth certificate and found it to be a forgery. The document turns out to have been based on the birth certificate of an Adelaide man called David Jeffrey Bomford.

Dina Rosendorff broke the news to him.

DINA ROSENDORFF: David Jeffrey Bomford’s language was a touch too colourful for radio when PM first contacted him with news his birth certificate had been used in a bid to oust Barack Obama.

Now that he’s come to terms with his unwitting involvement in an international conspiracy, he’s slightly more amused.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: (Laughs) That is ridiculous. Little old person in Adelaide, the President of the United States. I don’t know whether to laugh about it or not, be worried about it.

It is interesting someone from here being involved in a conspiracy - that is so funny.

DINA ROSENDORFF: It’s believed computer hackers found Mr Bomford’s birth certificate on his family’s genealogy website.

They used it as the basis for a forgery in an attempt to prove President Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii.

Only people born in the USA can be president.

The fake Kenyan birth document has been circulated by political opponents of Obama’s, called the Birthers, who are out to unseat him.

A growing online community who are against the Birthers quickly picked apart the bogus birth certificate and traced it back to about as far from Kenya as you can get - Thebarton Community Hospital at Mile End in South Australia and David Jeffrey Bomford.

As for the unsuspecting man at the centre of the political storm, he says he’s not a Birther - just a public service clerk from Adelaide.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I’m not involved in anything. To think that someone like me would be involved in an international conspiracy, considering I’m a conspiratist myself, I believe everything in all the old Roswell and all that rubbish. So this is quite funny.

DINA ROSENDORFF: Do you have anything against President Obama?

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: No. I think he was a good choice for President. Apart from that, I didn’t at first think he was a good President but he’s proved himself alright so he changed my mind.

DINA ROSENDORFF: Looking over the documents in question Mr Bomford still can’t quite believe his eyes.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It’s little old me and my mum and everything else up there. Oh I definitely confirm that the birth certificate was mine. That was quite easy to see - my address, even the style of the birth certificate was an old South Australian one.

So it’s quite easy to identify that it’s mine.

DINA ROSENDORFF: And looking at the fake Kenyan birth certificate what do you make of it?

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It’s definitely a copy of my certificate. It’s so laughable it’s ridiculous.

DINA ROSENDORFF: Internet security expert Dr Asha Rao from RMIT University says although this case is quite funny, it’s also very dangerous.

ASHA RAO: It just shows you what is possible on the Internet; that ultimately digital documents come down to a string of zeros and ones. This is an extreme case. Of course they must have trawled around and found something they could use.

But it’s also, you know, you really don’t, if you put that up, that is the main document that shows your identity. So, identity theft starts with getting hold of that document. So it’s very dangerous to put stuff like that online.

DINA ROSENDORFF: Mr Bomford agrees with the experts and says he’ll definitely be removing it from the website.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I’m very surprised at how anyone would even find it on the net unless they were looking for something like that because it’s buried on a little known research site that’s particularly for my family.

So I was very, very surprised that anyone would even find it on the net. I’ll be certainly contacting my friend who runs that web and asking him to remove it.

DINA ROSENDORFF: But he reckons it’s a good story to tell his friends and family.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I’m not particularly worried about it because no-one would honestly believe that anyone like me would be involved in it - just a grey-haired old guy sitting in a corner in quiet old Adelaide.

MARK COLVIN: Adelaide public servant David Jeffrey Bomford ending that report by Dina Rosendorff.

LOL. You found a new POS to believe and spam us with. Just like the previous 20. You’re going to need surgery to remove Obama’s John Thomas from your throat.

That’s the reference material for the article posted... it pays to have it on the thread, because it won’t disappear on the thread, while websites take down articles after a while or they end up as dead-links...

[razorback-bert]

Who and why would someone post their BC on a web site, it is an open invitation to identity theft?
