Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

[SE Mom]

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.

The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.

Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.

McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

Fred,

Thanks for the links to the videos.

I was wondering about the second and third pics in your post #8998, what connection do they have to Obama? They look like British certificates, for folks born in England.

Also, does any body know if “HRS 338-17.8” (that appears at the bottom of the last cert. picture in post #8998) became law in 1982?

If it did, then that invalidates the last ‘certificate’ the one supposedly signed by Madelyn in 1961.

If Madelyn Dunham was the informant, she would not have written her name down as MADLYN, would she? I’ll leave it to your imagination as to who might have been in Honolulu - who couldn’t spell Madelyn nor the name of the street...in April, 1961.

‘Grandmother’ appears to have applied for a CERTIFIED CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH in 1982. I doubt if she was successful.

~~ #9018, extensive report .. PING!

[hoosiermama]

OTOH I had to have my birth certificate reissued before applying for passport....My father's name, mother's name and my name were all misspelled. They also had date of birth wrong. When I took the document to the health departments with other verifying documentation and my father, it was discovered that the records were correct “in the book” but the clerk that typed the certification had “fat fingers”.

[Fred Nerks]

Huge difference, would you, when signing your name, make a spelling mistake?

Simple answer to this one is...the application for a bc was lodged by someone who couldn’t spell Madelyn, nor the name of the street...but they could use a typewriter.

"...as early as 2005, some individuals currently serving in his administration appear to have known that the eligibility issue relative to his citizenship might become a future problem.

"A twenty-six page article written by Sarah P. Herlihy...titled "Amending the Natural Born Citizenship Requirement:...

The way this is stated seems to imply that the author of the cited law review article, Ms. Herlihy, is currently in the administration. If so, what position does she hold and what has she been up to in that position?

[azishot]

Good job as usual Fred Nerks! I know, my family knows and close friends know that BO IS NOT ELIGIBLE and yet our great leaders and courts refuse to address it.

As far as I’m concerned, everyone in D.C. is ALLOWING this farce to go on. It’s hard trying to live a sane life in a country that BO wants to destroy.

BTW... I can’t access the first link in post 9018. It says that the article is not ready. Has it been scrubbed?

[penelopesire]

Thanks for the ping. Can’t wait to read it all. I remember reading about Sarah P. HERLIHY’s ‘paper’ a while back before the election...but didn’t realize she had been given a position in the administration after Obama was elected? Do we know what position in the administration that Zero gave her?

While digging my way through the Internet last night, I came across the following paper, written by SARAH P. HERLIHY. It’s title

AMENDING THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT: GLOBALIZATION AS THE IMPETUS AND THE OBSTACLE

caught my eye, and had to read it…

kent law pdf link

I had to ask myself, what would drive any American to want to change a clause in a document that is the very foundation of our government? So, I kept digging, and found that SARAH P. HERLIHY is employed by Kirkland & Ellis LLP http://www.kirkland.com

Noting that this law firm is based in Chicago, the light bulb was shining a little brighter . Upon looking at the firm, and the partners, I found that Bruce I. Ettelson, P.C., is Member of finance committees of U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin.

KIRKLAND LINK (towards bottom of the page)

In addition, Jack S. Levin, P.C., another partner who, in December 2002 was presented the ” Illinois Venture Capital Association’s lifetime achievement award for service to the private equity/venture capital community” presented by Sen. Barack Obama

So it sure looks like Obama’s people have looked into the matter of “Natural born” as far back as early 2006. What is even more disturbing is that it would appear that they are following the thought of :

“If the facts do not support the theory, Destroy the facts!”

Here is the introduction to the paper… It looks like a road map for Obama’s defense lawyers…And a precursor to a Socialist world.

AMENDING THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT: GLOBALIZATION AS THE IMPETUS AND THE OBSTACLE SARAH P. HERLIHY∗ INTRODUCTION

The natural born citizen requirement in Article II of the United States Constitution has been called the “stupidest provision” in the Constitution,1 “undecidedly un American,”2 “blatantly discriminatory,”3 and the “Constitution’s worst provision.”4 Since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s victory in the California gubernatorial recall election of 2003, commentators and policy-makers have once again started to discuss whether Article II of the United States Constitution should be amended to render naturalized citizens eligible for the presidency.5 Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution defines the eligibility requirements for an individual to become president. Article II provides:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Of-fice who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.6

Although these sixty-two words are far from extraordinary, the natural born citizen provision is controversial because it prevents over 12.8 million Americans from being eligible for the presidency.7 In addition to Governor Schwarzenegger, the natural born citizen clause prohibits many other prominent Americans from becoming president, including Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm,8 former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao,9 and over 700 Medal of Honor Winners.10 Even though many of these individuals have served in high political positions or fought in a war on behalf of America, they are not able to become president simply because they were not born in the United States.11

The natural born citizen clause of the United States Constitution should be repealed for numerous reasons. Limiting presidential eligibility to natural born citizens discriminates against naturalized citizens, is out-dated and undemocratic, and incorrectly assumes that birthplace is a proxy for loyalty. The increased globalization of the world continues to make each of these reasons more persuasive. As the world becomes smaller and cultures become more similar through globalization, the natural born citi-zen clause has increasingly become out of place in the American legal sys-tem. However, even though globalization strengthens the case for a Constitutional amendment, many Americans argue against abolishing the requirement. In a recent USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll taken November 19–21, 2004, only 31% of the respondents favored a constitutional amendment to abolish the natural born citizen requirement while 67% opposed such an amendment.12 Although some of the reasons for maintaining the natural born citizen requirement are rational, many of the reasons are based primarily on emotion. Therefore, although globalization is one impetus that should drive Americans to rely on reason and amend the Constitution, this paper argues that common perceptions about globalization ironically will convince Americans to rely on emotion and oppose a Constitutional amendment.

Part one of this paper provides a brief history and overview of the natural born citizen requirement. Part two discusses the rational reasons for abolishing this requirement and describes why the increase in globalization makes abolishing the natural born citizen requirement more necessary than ever. Part three presents the arguments against allowing naturalized citizens to be eligible for the presidency and identifies common beliefs about glob-alization that will cause Americans to rely on emotion and oppose a Constitutional amendment.

Was there a conspiracy to put Obama in the White House?
IN 2006, LAWYER WORKING FOR LAW FIRM WITH TIES TO OBAMA FLOATED THE IDEA OF A “TAKEOVER” OF OUR GOVERNMENT BY A FOREIGN POWER
by Sharon Rondeau

The Chicago-Kent School of Law is affiliated with the Illinois Institute of Technology
(Mar. 2, 2010) — It is no wonder that Sarah P. Herlihy is an associate attorney specializing in litigation at the Chicago law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP. On its website, the firm displays that it was “named to the ‘Global Elite.’”

Herlihy graduated from the prestigious Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2005 and is the author of an essay published in the Chicago-Kent Law Review on Feb. 22, 2006 entitled “Amending the Natural Born Citizen Requirement: Globalization as the Impetus and the Obstacle.”

Kirkland law partner Bruce I. Ettelson lists to his credit having been a “Former Member of finance committees of U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin.” The law firm employs literally hundreds of attorneys who specialize in the areas of intellectual property, anti-trust and competition, corporate and tax, and “community service.”

Fred - three questions, please:

1. Seems Polarik and Haggman are covering the same ground in much the same way. Do they know each other?
2. Haggman’s next segment is referred to as “The money & people behind the fight”. What does that refer to? “The money” makes me think of BO’s puppet masters but “the fight” makes me think of people waging the fight against him. Have any idea?
3. BO’s ears - are they more like grandpa Dunham’s or more like M-X’s?

One comment - like your new kangaroo sunset photo.

[Hoodat]

Q: Why would they list the Country & Continent on it instead of City & Country? If the father had been from Paris, France, would they put France - Europe?

Depends who filled in the application, doesn’t it? If it was a Kenyan that’s exactly what HE would write IMO.

You can see as much as I can, please draw your own conclusions.

Finally took a moment to look into the “about us” page on Post and Email and found this:

“Additional Editor’s Note: Because there is a mountain of evidence indicating that Barack H. Obama is not a natural born Citizen as required by Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution to serve as President, The Post & Email does not refer to him as the “President.” Therefore, if your submission refers to “President Obama” or “Mr. President,” the wording will be changed unless and until Obama proves that he meets the eligibility criteria. Anyone not in agreement with this policy should withhold his or her submission.”

Good for them!
