‘Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless’ [pictures supposedly from forger of Kenya BC]
Washington Independent ^ | 8/6/09 | Dave Weigel

Posted on 08/06/2009 11:53:16 AM PDT by lonewacko_dot_com

It’s looking more and more like the forged “Kenyan birth certificate” released by Orly Taitz on Sunday was a prank by a supporter of President Obama. Politijab points to an anonymous blogger at FearlessBlogging, who has uploaded four photos of the original forgery and a mocking declaration:

Fine cotton business paper: $11

Inkjet printer: $35

1940 Royal Model KMM manual typewriter: $10

2 Shilling coin: $1

Pilot Varsity fountain pen: $3

Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless

Yes, with layers and 3-D rotation in Photoshop, you can recreate the "typed" text on a standard British colonial form VERY closely.

The creases, staple hole, and smudge are more difficult to get "exact".

In comparing the so-called "punked" image to the image downloaded early Sunday morning when the story broke, I see the following inconsistencies (I'm sure there's more others will spot as well) in the "punked" image, mostly on the creases, which are harder to duplicate:

Photobucket Obama's unconfirmed Kenyan birth certificate

Museums are occasionally sold forgeries, even forgeries of forgeries.

The "punked" image proves nothing more than how easily Obama's "Certification of Live Birth" can be forged as well.

The Left loves figuring out ways to make conservatives look like idiots.

The left's admitting to lies and forgery doesn't hurt us. Now that they have admitted that they have no credibility and in fact are now bragging about being forgers, the original crude forgery on Fight the Smears is now utterly indefensible.

I would have been far more concerned to find out that someone on our side had been creating forgeries and blandly admitting to it.

Finding out that the Obamaites are so blasé about lies and forgery isn't a great surprise, and such baldly fraudulent behavior discredits them, not us.

Since they have now admitted that they create forgeries and disseminate them in efforts to gull people, the only reasonable course of action is to open up the original vital records.

The forger of the Kenyan BC broke no laws.

Actually if the forger provided the document to Orly and made a representation that it was authentic and knew that Orly was going to submit that document to the court and to incur expenses related to authenticating it, then the forger would clearly be liable for treble damages for fraud and possibly be guilty of criminal fraud.

I understand Orly may have traveled all the way to England to attempt to authenticate this document. If she did, then Orly could sue the forger for treble damages. She is a lawyer and lawyers don't like to be had.

The plan is to swamp “Birthers” in a tsunami of documents bogging down the hunt for truth to the point it’s impossible.

They're shooting themselves in the foot. Even if Queen Kaleleonalani came back and presented the world with Hussein's long form bc, no one would believe it wasn't a fake.

I really believe this is a no win situation if it continues to be pursued.

Then the evil doers won't pull that stunt again. The country will be more watchful and the government will be held to higher standards and made to answer to the people. I don't see a lose in that.

(snipped fake BC, complete with clown face)

Best be careful posting that.

According to some here, you may have just committed a crime by posting a false document.

I am not an attorney and I was not fooled by the alleged Kenyan BC.

And, I would assume that most objective people would be no more fooled by the Kenyan BC than they would have been Monopoly money.

Moreover, the obvious inaccuracies in the document make it so it does not purport to be a document of any country that existed at the time it was allegedly issued.

"Attempting to pass it off as genuine in an official proceeding is fraud. If anyone is in legal jeopardy here, it's Orly. She filed it with the court and tried to get the court to act based on it."

For her to be in legal or disciplinary peril, she'd must have made false representations to the court with the intent to deceive. In other words, the court would have to prove that she knew it was a phony BC. If she made a good faith representation, then she's in no legal jeopardy. Just to clarify, I'm not a Orly sycophant.

My feelings exactly...that assertion by them is what kept my mind open about this business. I’d like to hear what Farah has to say for himself. And wasn’t he supposed to share some blockbuster story with us this week?

You said it...they’re just portraying themselves to the world as the immature little dorks we’ve always known them to be. And proving how easy it would be to fake the “Fight the Smears” COLB.
