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

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

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.

"Anyone who says they could just laugh [at?] this is delusional."

Uh, I'm sorry, where have you been for the past 15 years?? I cannot count how many times I'd thought the Clintonistas or other leading Demagogues had finally, permanently, completely discredited themselves forever, and the media (not to mention all the 'Rats and RINOs) lets them just shrug it all off and keep on going as though they are credible, respectable human beings.

You say b/c this involves a legal document that "this time everything will be different" -- I'm sorry, but I'll have to see that to believe it. If anyone takes a hit it will simply be a low-level staffer or two, falling on their sword to protect Obama. Did you see where Sen. Schumer had two aides ILLEGALLY OBTAINING CREDIT REPORT INFO on Michael Steele back in 2004? Did Sen. Charles Schumer suffer ANY ignominy or disgrace in the media for that illegal episode?

Unless both Barack and his Mum were picking up Dad at airport, these photos, or one of them, has been photoshopped. Sure seems possible that Obama’s people spend alot of time making fake photos.

I mentioned in another post, if you have both photos, the one with his ‘wife’ and the other with his ‘son’, both pictures have the same decorations in the background, the picture was taken in the exact same spot, he had on the same suit and tie...separate photos taken over a span of five+ years.

Bump good find.

If this was legit, I can’t believe that the Hillary people haven’t moved on this already.

He is still a U.S. citizen, no matter where he was born, because his whore mother was a U.S. citizen. But, a fraudlent BC would definitely hand the Dem nod to Hillary.

Good work.

He used to be the science teacher in the television show the Wonder Years.

Liberal spinning often requires a sleight of hand.

[SE Mom]

Nice catch! So- is the conclusion that some (not so bright) journalist labeled this as a wedding photo when clearly it wasn’t?

[cajungirl]

calling his Mother who got pregnant at age 18 an whore is way way over the top and uncalled for.

Good point, Gunner. I don't know for sure but international departures and arrivals may have been at the time due to Customs. HNL has been under reconstruction for all the years I've been here.

The photo in question wasn't HNL.

Is Jay McKinnon saying that he forged the document of Obama birth certificate and gave it to Daily Kos? The choice of words in the statement above is very confusing.

[RetSignman]

Thanks for the improved pictures...this is weirder and weirder all the time, isn’t it?

[Enchante]

??? Look at young Obama’s size/age — he must be A LOT older than a toddler in photo on left????

Which suggests that these photos were taken long after the 2 years his parents were supposedly together???

Seems like Obama, Sr. at least came for a visit years later.....

Adding to your reasons why this is embarrassing to FR. Birth certificates are easily obtainable at ever registrar of vital statistics office in just about every county courthouse in the nation. If anyone wants a certified copy of the Nobama certificate, all you have to do is ask the clerk in the county courthouse where he says he was born. Pay the clerks fee and be on your way.

The only thing " embarrassing to FR" is when someone like you posts bathering nonsense. After 9-11, things changed significantly and NOT JUST ANYONE can get a copy of another person's birth certificate.

It’s called Freedom of Speech.

It's also tasteless.

Spunky, see Tapatio’s side by side. That isn't HNL, it's San Francisco and the kid looks preteen.

Thanks Tapatio
