With regard to the authenticity of the Kenya and Bomford BCs there are really only three possibilities:
The Kenya BC is a fake and the Bomford BC is a fake.
The Kenya BC is authentic and the Bomford BC is a fake.
The Kenya BC is a fake and the Bomford BC is authentic.
The possibility that both the Kenya and the Bomford BCs are authentic is logically precluded due to the extreme unlikelihood that the items in Table 1 below would occur on both documents by chance:
Let's look at the chicken and egg problem. Which came first - the Kenya or the Bomford BC? Well it had to be one or the other so let's look at both cases and see what the implications are.
Bomford BC is first. Assume that the Bomford BC was first and it was used as a template for a Kenya BC forgery. For this scenario we have a fake Kenya BC and an authentic Bomford BC. So what can we conclude about the items in Table 1?
• The Kenya BC forger is either extremely incompetent or possibly too lazy to change the items in Table 1 to be different from the Bomford "template"
• the forger wants to get caught.
I don't think there are any other possibilities.
Since the forgery is quite good I conclude that the forger is quite competent which would rule out the first case. That means that if the Bomford is authentic and used as a template for the fake Kenya BC then the Kenya forger wants to get caught. The motive: to make us work hard but in the end prove us fools and discourage us from digging into Obama's past. The fact that the Kenya BC was a fake would come to light inevitably by a simple search of the appropriate Kenyan records. There is a strong possibility that the Government of Kenya would simply announce that Book 44B and Page 5733 does not have an entry for a Barak H. Obama and provide the press with a photocopy of the page in question or give them access to the records.
For this case there would be no pressing need to "out" the Bomford document that was used as a template. There would, in fact, be no need to put the Bomford document on the Internet. Time would be on the side of the forger. He could wait for things to develop in Kenya vis vis a review of the record book/page and watch us all busy ourselves with fonts, jpegs, Photoshop Elements and the date when Kenya really, really became a republic. But that's not what happened. The Bomford document was discovered within a day or two. An accidental "outing" of the Bomford document by a lefty blogger is, of course, possible. It cannot be totally discounted. It seems unlikely, however, for a couple of reasons. First, it has turned out to be very hard to find the Bomford BC by the conventional method: A Google image search based on reasonable search terms: birth certificate, Kenya birth certificate, British commonwealth birth certificate ... and so on. Nobody but the original lefty blogger has managed the task. The second reason: He's a lefty with all the motivation in the world to discredit the Birthers. So from this the logical conclusion would be that either the Lefty Blogger drew a Royal Flush with his Google Image search or he is in on the deal. And there is still the question of why the forger would put the document on the web in the first place. Personally, I don't think he would. Only the lefty blogger really knows for sure at this point.
So once again. What's the rush? It makes one wonder about all the fuss on the Left when leaving this to run the normal course would be to their advantage. It is an indication, at least, that the Kenya BC is viewed by the Left as a very dangerous document.
So on to the second case:
The Kenya BC is first and Bomford BC is a fake. For this scenario the Kenya BC could be either authentic or a fake. If it's a fake we can logically conclude that the Left isn't so sure. That would justify the generation of the Bomford BC as an insurance policy against the possibility that Book 44B and Page 5733 does have a listing for Barak H. Obama. It would also motivate the Bomford forger to act quickly in order to provide a basis for the Kenya Government to wave off a search of the BC records: "The Government of Kenya cannot get involved in searching records every time some crazy "Birther" has a new theory. And since this latest attempt involves a proven forgery ...". You get the idea.
Note that this scenario, where the Kenya BC may be fake or authentic and nobody knows for sure, would most likely play out just like we have seen events transpire: A rapid response to the release of the Kenya BC documents with a forged Bomford BC. As a result this would seem to be the most likely case.
So how do we resolve the mystery? First you look at the Australian records. Those should be accessible to some curious Australian. If the BC of David Jeffrey Bomford is indeed listed on page 5733 of Book 44B in the South Australian archives then it is game, set and match for the lefty blogger and the Kenya BC is certainly a fake.
But what if this is not the case? Then the Bomford document is a fake giving life to the possibility but not the certainty that the Kenya BC is authentic. This can only be proven for certain by looking at page 5733 in Book 44B of the Kenya archives. Discovering with certainty that the M.R. Miller and E.F.Lavender were performing Registrar duties in the appropriate timeframes will certainly prove to me that the Bomford BC is a fake but it cannot help validate the Kenya BC. Only a search of the records can do that.
But what about fonts, jpegs, republics, Photoshop Elements? IMHO, we are just spinning our wheels with those issues. We need to get to the records or give up the hunt.
