Although the Certificate of Live Birth is a very incompetent and blatant forgery, you would never know it by this blatantly erroneous and false set of claims. For example, where it is claimed that Hawaii was misspelled as Huwaii, the word is in fact spelled correctly as Hawaii. Some folks may at first glance be misled by what seems to be a solid stroke on the left side, it is when viewed at higher magnifications with care the letter “a” which is being distorted to some degree by the camera lens and resolution of the image. In other words, it is much to do about a non-eexistant flaw.
Likewise with the claims of the handmade chracters. The document has many real flaws indicative of a forgery. Unfortunately, the claims being presented here are again generally false, with the possible exception of a few examples. Characters which are distorted due to gaps on the typewriter ink ribbon and variability in the type bar striking the ribbon against a paper document. Additionally, the digital resolution artifacts help to confound a proper interpretation of the image. Bottomliine, however, is the erroneous misrepresentations about fictitious flaws in the document cloud recognition of the genuine falws that exist in the document.
If someone wanted to discredit the genuine evidence that the birth certificate is a forgery, the sources given in this topic thread would certainly qualify as such sources of disinformation.
If it is true that the misspelling was caused by the camera lens, why wouldn’t ALL of the “a”’s look like “U”’s. Why would it only affect only one letter on the entire document?
“Characters which are distorted due to gaps on the typewriter ink ribbon and variability in the type bar striking the ribbon against a paper document.”
Typewriter letters are made of metal. While a worn ribbon will cause the letters to appear lighter, the letters will NOT change shape. Letters will not become taller or shorter and parts of the letters will NOT move in relation to one another because of a worn ribbon.
