There is no way to authenticate this photograph because it is not auditable - there is no audit trail from the original document to this photograph. It begs the question, who has posession of the physical document in the photograph? Can an authenticated copy of the official birth cirtificate be produced by the Kenyan authorities? (Maybe the indexing information in the photograph could help them quickly find the document.)

Without the above information, this certainly would not be accepted as evidence in a court of law.

Taitz isn't saying it is evidence, only that it needs to be investigated, to discover the original on file, if there is one, and to examine it to see what it proves.

Did you read her filing?

There are Book number and Page number cross references to the Birth Register of the province. If they check out, the document is valid or someone on the the inside of the Kenyan government was in on perpetrating the fraud (which seems rather unlikely to me).

Searching - “Coast General Hospital Mombasa” - results in lotsa data re OB.

Appears (as many of you may know, and I did not) that the Hosp was “besieged” with requests for data re OB long before the dreaded election.

Anyway, the DU dumpster references a report by Globe Magazine (which is trash too, I know), anyway, below is their rpt.

Globe Magazine; January 12, 2009 issue, Vol. 56, Number 02; p.30

“SHOCKING CHARGE: OBAMA PRESIDENCY ILLEGAL!”

Officials at the hospital confirm they’ve been besieged with requests for information on Obama’s birth but haven’t been able to find any record of it.

“We do not have computerized records going back to the 1960’s and can only sort through our archives by hand,” Dr. Christopher Mwanga, an administrator at the Mombasa hospital tells GLOBE. “We have searched for all the names of babies born on Aug. 4, 1961, and have not found the name of Barack Hussein Obama. That is all I can tell you.”

“We can neither prove that he was born here nor disprove it.”

As others have said, if you go to DU, please shower before and after.

I assume the Hosp will be besieged again and we’ll see if their prior press statement stay consistent.

Agree with balls and many others - this new doc must be objectively analyzed in its original form, and hope atty OT is having that done.

In that way it is no different than the image of a supposed Hawai'ian Certification of Live Birth posted those many months ago by the Obama campaign.
