Someone now claiming credit for faking the Kenyan one.
This claim appears very credible to me. I stated a few posts back that it increasingly looked to me like the seal on the Kenyan one was done with a coin, of approximately 28mm diameter. But I couldn’t identify a specific coin to suspect.
Person claiming credit says he used a 2 shilling coin, which has a diameter of 28.5mm.
I haven’t really compared the seal image with that of a 2 shilling coin yet, but from just a very quick glance on my way out the door, I’m thinking we might have a match.
Given the similarity of the two SA birth certificates, and the huge difference between the two Kenyan ones alone, it’s safe to say that the Australian one is real while the Kenyan one is fake.
I live in adelaide, and I have seen my parent’s certificates, and from memory they looked the same.
I really don’t think that bomford is in on it at all. I know you guys have invested a lot of time on this, but outside of your circles this really isn’t a big news story. Kind of non existent. Definitely not big enough for people over the other side of the world to be involved! Especially adelaide!! Adelaide is such a sleepy little city.
I only took an interest when I heard the bomford interview on abc radio here.
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. And to say that somehow, to discredit the birthers movement, a bomford in Kentucky enlisted a relative to spend the time in forging a BC that looks almost idetical to other south Australian BCs, with all information on it that is relevant to the time, (ie naming hospitals that have been closed, old SA coat of arms, addresses that now exist redefined suburb boundries) really is a bit far fetched. To suggest that the Kenyan one is forged to try and either ‘punk’ and make fun of the birthers movement, or be created from within the movement really does make more logical sense.
As I said I live in Adelaide so any questions you have about the city, please ask!
