47O44 on Obama Kenyan Certificate
Link to Certificate on World Net Daily ^ | Aug 5th 2009 | Myself

Posted on 08/04/2009 4:36:57 PM PDT by plenipotentiary

47O44. I think I can see where the number comes from now. Its the 47th Copy Birth Certificate issued that year/month/day, by O for Oduya, the Deputy Registrar, and 44 refers to the Register/book it's recorded in.

It was common, especially in the days of manual typewriters for there not to be a 1 or a 0. The 1 was made by a small L and the 0 was made by a capital O. I knew several people who continued to use these after later model typewriters started putting 1s and 0s on the keyboards. The typewriter used for the Zero BC was a manual. It's obvious because the letters have different intensities, indicating some were struck by stronger fingers than others. In electrics, all letters have the same intensity.

I have no idea whether it's a forgery or not, but if it is, it's a lot better job than that joke Dan Rather tried to put out there.

Yeah, one that machine you had to type a small “L” for the number one. It was an older model, and used only when the newer ones were taken or broken or something.

Found such a creature at eBay. I won't go so far as to say that the one in our house was the same brand & style, but it was very similar.

The photographed document image you posted was changed from the one originally posted on Orly Taitz' site and WND on Sunday. There are at least two differences:

(1) The No. in the middle of the page was 47,644 on the Taitz-WND image, but now is 47,O44 (using the capital letter "O") or perhaps 47,044 (using the numeral "0").

(2) On the "Signature of Registrar" line, the name was K. F. Lavender on the Taitz-WND image, but is is E. F. Lavender on yours.

For those of us who learned to touch type on a manual typewriter, it's a lot more difficult to stretch out and apply good pressure with the left hand pinky (to hit the "1" key) than it is to hit the "l" key (one of the home keys).

The same (though not as bad) applies to the "0" key as opposed to the "O" key.

So seeing an "l" used in place of a "1" didn't surprise me a bit.

Yep. There were a ton of them out there. Also, the manual typewriters all used a fabric ribbon, which made the key strikes softer. Electrics usually had a plastic tape, more like carbon paper. They made the sharper letters. By the time of the electrics, almost all typewriters had zeros and ones, but with the manuals, they frequently left them out. I found one manufactured in 1972 that still didn’t have a one.

Can you provide a url where Taitz or her helpers say that their website was hacked?

Because I've seen those two comparison photos and I read "E. F." in both of them and think that the number looks the same in both.

So I believe they are the same photo, but one is clearer than the other -- with the change being done by the site webmaster.

And those are pretty silly changes for a hacker to make, imho.

But if Taitz says her site was hacked and the picture changed, then, of course I would believe her.

The typewriter whose image you posted appears to date perhaps from as far back as the late nineteenth century. Notice that the “Z” key and the “Y” key are interchanged from their later standard keyboard positions. I recall using the letter “l” for the numeral “1” on a portable Royal manufactured about 1950, but never had to use the letter “O” as a substitute for the numeral “0”. I can’t even recall the name “Olympia.” The only American typewriter companies (brands) I can remember from the strictly manual days (not including the later plug-in manual electric models) were Royal, Smith-Corona, and Underwood.

No, ours looked just like this, and it was not an antique in the 1950s-60s. Ours was maybe 20 years old, give or take, at that time.

I recall using the letter “l” for the numeral “1” on a portable Royal manufactured about 1950, but never had to use the letter “O” as a substitute for the numeral “0”.

Well, I did, if the other three typewriters in the house were being used by someone else who was older.

I can’t even recall the name “Olympia.”

I do. I won't say for sure that ours was an Olympia, but I do recognize the brand name.

Wikipedia says that it was a German brand.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Olympia_Typewriters
This page has a photo of a 1964 machine that does not have a zero.

As I said, ours looked a lot like the one in the photo.

Ah, so you had a German typewriter. Judging from the chronology, it was very possibly manufactured during the Nazi era. Ugh!

The German make probably explains the transposition of the "X" and "Y" keys, which, as an educated guess, occurred because the letter "Z" is more common than the letter "Y" in the German language.

Read Heads Up - Multiple COLBS Warning [someone swapped out the Kenya BC AFTER it was posted]

I hope this helps.

The FASCIST Obama minions are rapidly posting many fake variations of the real "Kenyan Certificate of Live Birth" just to "muddy the issue".

They hope people will give up on trying to sort out the real one from the thousands of fakes they are creating.

Good find about early typewriters using 1 for I, or other substitutions.

Also, letter & number arms and keypads can stick frequently (annoying for the typist), bend or break, forcing typist to improvise and substitute one character for another, like the number "0" for the letter "O", similar to what's posted here on "Mr. Martin's Typewriter Museum":

[Royal Model 10]

Royal Model 10, manufactured from 1914 to 1938. Mine is the later single beveled glass side window model and according to The Typewriter Database was manuafactured in 1924 (serial number X 842670). While made by Royal, there is another old decal that says "Regal Typewriter Company, Inc.," "Like-Nu," "Regal Rebuilt Typewriter," "524 Broadway, New York, USA," leading me to speculate that it may have been a reconditioned or rebuilt model. A decal on the front indicates it was sold or perhaps serviced by "Nickel's Business Machines, Inc., Sales-Service-Rentals, 5204 Lomas, N.E., Albuquerque, N.M. Phone AM 8-8131." According to mytypewriter.com the Royal 10 is "considered as one of the best manual machines ever made." (See also MrTypewriter.com.) Purchased for $20 on October 15, 2005 at a La Mesa (CA) garage sale on the street I grew up on! It is in very good cosmetic and working condition. It only needs a new ribbon. The decals have some wear and there is some wear to the paint on the bar on the front. There is some cracking of the paint in the back, but in general the glossy black paint is in very good condition. It is very clean for a machine over 80 years old. The arm inside for the "O" is slightly bent but works well. After some use, none of the keys stick. The typewriter originally belonged to the seller's mother who used it in an Albuquerque trailer park business. Very cool machine! Large View, Side View.

I agree on the "Ugh!" if it was made during the Nazi era, but it was equally-likely early post-war. And though it might have been made in Germany, it did not have any German diacritical marks (as does the one in the wiki photo), so it must have been manufactured for export.

I read "E. F." and "47,O44" very clearly in both the images.

Should I go to an optometrist and have my eyes checked?

Yeah, that is the austrailian one where they changed the 6 to a zero.

I must confess there is a thread here on FR that actually shows both and the Taitz one most definitely shows K. F. and the 47,644 vs the 47,044. It would be fun to see the records from Kenya from that time period though to verify.
