The Truth About Obama's forged birth certificate: What Polarik never told you.

UPDATE

I need to make a change to one of the points I made in my post.

I said in that post that the border on the Kos image was a red herring because someone created it as a diversion.

After careful consideration, a much simpler scenario as to why this border looks different from all other COLB borders, is that it is different. However, the forger of the image did some modifications to the border such that it looks like it was the last piece added. What I see when looking at the Kos COLB border is an image that had its hue, saturation, contrast, and brightness levels modified in addition to saving it as a JPG file with a 45% compression ratio.

The technical stuff is not crucial to one's understanding that the Obama COLB image was deliberately constructed from two real COLBS, one belonging to PD's 2002 COLB image, and the other belonging to a "as yet unnamed" contributor.

Although I do not know the identity of the person listed on the 2007 COLB image, I can say with 100% certainty that it was not Maya Soetoro.

A real 2007 border versus a bogus one does not affect my findings at all because I've said all along that the border pattern is of no research value to me. What's inside the borders is what matters to me.

This change of heart, so to speak, further strengthens my research findings in several respects. For one thing, by my second blog post, I decided that the border was an oddity, but one that did not pose any problems for my conclusions.

A real border actually simplifies them, because I had a little trouble imagining that a forger would intentionally screw up a border. Many of you had voiced similar concerns, and they were taken to heart.

Before making allowances that the Kos image border was a real one, I had assumed that the border and the background were a packaged deal; that is, both were copied from a real COLB image at the same time.

Before accepting the possibility that the border was real, however, I had to listen to everyone else bitching about the border being bogus, and criticizing me for ignoring it.

So, I decided to go along with the consensus opinion that the borders were bogus, too. However I never agreed with TechDude's singular focus on the borders (and that phantom missing border). Apparently, quite a few blogs bought into it as well.

Meanwhile, the pro-Obama detractors were also focusing on the borders, but for different reason. They were the ones saying that it was a vintage, 2007 border.

From the beginning, I kept emphasizing the pixel halos around the text were a sure sign that they had been added to an existing image. It took me awhile to identify that image, and when I learned that it matched the Kos on all of its printed areas, it didn't matter whether the border was a part of it or not.

To me, the border was still a red herring, but nobody else agreed with me, so I went along with the group.

The Kos image border still looks messed up, real or not, because its quality looks worse than the background it sits upon, and that's why people probably thought it was bogus (that, and the fact that no one had ever seen a 2007 COLB). The border could very well have been added as the last piece of the puzzle. One reason why the border was added last (from a real 2007 COLB) is because the border on the original template image (made from PD's COLB) had distortions in it from the folds.

And, of course, it came from a totally different time period.

Hopefully, the MSM will ignore those who have come and gone before me, who left a trail of false conclusions in their wake.

If they can do that, then perhaps they will refer to my research for a change.
