I've been following this, too, and I had the same suspicions about the Israeli Insider story, namely that the person admitted to creating the forged derivative documents, but did not admit to creating the first document. The Israeli Insider story led one to believe that the original document was tainted because the copies made from it were tainted. The original document has not yet been proven to be a forgery.

More information here on the alleged forger Jay Mckinnon Daily Kos, an Obama Activist, and Forged Birth Certifications

Israel Insider may have jump the gun with their headline; however, Mckinnon has implicated himself with all the evidence available. It's very likely that Jay Mckinnon is the culprit.

I think the headline of this thread is quite misleading since the “OpenDNA” Mackinnin dude does not cop to anything like the first of these “Obama BCs” — it seems to me that all that OpenDNA says is that yes, he showed how easy it is to do a couple of the manipulations under discussion.

So far, the following summary strikes me as the best overview of what has gone on with the online BCs (although I admit I can’t judge all of the details about the images!!):


http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/update-daily-kos-an-obama-activist-and-forged-birth-certificates/#more-432

To conclude:

In the beginning, there was Dr X. Dr X. took a certified COLB, that DID NOT BELONG TO OBAMA, scanned it, and then proceeded to Photoshop out two of the three folds, and all of the field headers and data, using pieces of the background and the HEALING tool to blend them in — that is why the Kos seal is so faint.

Then, with a blank canvas on which to paint his “masterpiece of fakery,” freshly typed in the filed names and the MODIFIED data fields to make it look like a COLB from BHO.

Dr X then gave it up to the Kos , who then proceeded to proudly display it on its web page.

Meanwhile, back at the Obama ranch, news of the posted image hit the Obamanites like a bombshell, and they proceeded to copy the newly-minted image, while making plans to post it on their “Fight the Smears” site.

BEFORE they could do that, the authenticity of the Kos image was challenged by OpenDNA, and in a move they have regretted, challenged OpenDNA to produce a faked COLB.

He doubled their dismay by producing two from their original image: one totally blank, except for the field and date for the island of birth and time of birth — both simply left there by OpenDNA as he proceeded to blot out the rest of the fields and data. In his second rendition, he entered that weird name for the child field.

The “Smears shmucks” were caught, flatfooted. They quickly slammed down their direct copy of the Kos image, and claimed, “Here is his birth certificate,” after weakly countering the argument that BHO was not born in the USA .

Realizing the dumb move of posting a really good copy of the fake that was open to inspection, the Smears shmucks pulled it down and replaced it with one almost half its size.

They also removed the “Here is his birth certificate,” claim! So, instead of seeing an image tied to a counterargument verified by the COLB, we just have a totally different argument, followed by an orphaned image.

OK, now.

Who’s on first?
