anyone know the penalty for perjury for a government official who attests a document is a "true and valid copy" when we know this one isn't?
Of course you are assuming that the document that he attested to is the one that Obama put up and that the image with his stamp didn't come from another document.
I took it upon myself to do a little test. I entered the line, "Barack Obama's LFBC is a fraud!" in my word processor.
I then printed that short line of text out on a color ink jet printer using only black ink, so as to remove any color artifacts from printing.
Here is how that image looks after scanning it as a 24 bit color TIF file converted to PNG format (for upload) at 300 dpi:
Now, here is that same sheet of paper scanned as a 1 bit black & white TIF file converted to PNG for upload:
As you can see, with no other alterations made on these two scans except their conversion to PNG format, there's a huge difference in the quality between the 24 bit file (top) and the 1 bit file (bottom).
The edges of the letters in the 24 bit file have much smoother edges owing to the fact that each pixel in the image has 8 bits of color data (even from a black and white document). That provides the image processor with 256 shades of gray per RGB channel with which to work, providing smoother gradations between the blackest text and the whitest background.
The 1 bit black & white TIF file has only 1 bit of data per pixel: a pixel is either all white or all black. There is no gray scale to create the smooth edges that the 24 bit file has.
Next, I brought these raw TIF scans into PhotoShop and, using the Magic Wand tool, selected the white background of each then enlarged them for the purpose of getting a screen capture of the area on each I wanted to highlight. (I had to promote the B&W image to gray scale to get the Magic Wand to work, which accounts for the solid gray fringe on the lower images letters.)
Here are those PNG images after retouching and enlarging (24 bit image first):
Compare those to this image enlarged and grabbed from Obama's new BC:
The green background layer is the result of a 24 bit color scan (look at the number 1 far right), while the overlaid text is the result of a 1 bit black and white scan with the white background removed for transposition over the color background layer.
There's no question that this document consists of at least two separately scanned images composited together.
To what end, I have no idea.
You are looking at a copy of a “purported” certified copy. A copy or scan of a certified document carries no certification and therefore cannot be used FOR or AGAINST the bearer nor the people listed on it.
Obama has not released a certified copy of his COLB as generated by the DOH of Hawaii containing the required embossed seal of the DOH of Hawaii.
Chasing any of the aspect of the paper he released is an utter waste of time because it certifies absolutey nothing because it is not a certified document.
Folks...stop wasting your time analysing something that has no legal value. It’s just a public opinion swaying piece...nothing more.
=8-)
this is another point that bothers me about this document, as offered.
It is currently acceptable to certify documents using a multi-colored signature stamp instead of a raised seal. IF this were a color copy (scan) of the true document, those colors should be part of this stamp. They are missing (meaning this is not a valid document as presented).
This would mean that what we have is a a B&W photocopy printed out on safety paper? If correct, why would there be aberrations in the safety paper line-up points?
Not only has this been layered but it appears to be a scan composed of an overlay of separate pages (documents?)
