2. You claim that Dr James O.W. Ang-awa who worked in Nairobi must have also worked in Mombasa. Hmm! Let's see how practical that was in 1961. The distance between Mombasa and Nairobi is 273 miles(That's roughly the distance between Castaic and San Jose, California which is 269 miles). Modern day travel time between Mombasa and Nairobi by road is nine (9) hours considering the road condition from the topographically flat Mombasa to the mountainous region of Nairobi. It would have taken Dr. Ang-awa considerable time to travel between two cities in 1961. What is the likelihood for a prominent Doctor from the Dominion of Kenya to cross border to Zanzibar just to work in Mombasa? Zanzibar had its own healthcare delivery system which is independent from that of the system in the Dominion of Kenya.
Jerome Corsi raised this but was forced to retract it, especially after it was proved that his own duaghter, a prominent Kenyan judge, was born in Mombassa.
Here is an old post of mine:
Looks like Lucas Smith, with the help of Freepers, has forced Corsi to reduce his prior list of 8 points of rejection down to 3 points, 2 of which amount to hospital “administrators had no knowledge” “hospital refuses to verify”. Corsi’s lawyerly language allows for Smith’s document to be valid because the hospital administrators didn’t declare it to be invalid, they only refused to verify it or had no knowlege of anyone verifying it.
The only major (non-quibble) point left is whether Ang’awa is on record delivering babies in Mombassa now that Corsi has had to retract his prior flat-out declaration that Ang’awa “never worked at any hospital in Mombassa”.
Corsi’s backdown was pointed out by commenter “no2obots” in Smith’s Youtube comments:
Jerome Corsi: 8/25: “Dr. James O.W. Ang’awa, ...was a physician who worked in Kenya during the 1960s; however, he worked at Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi. Dr. James O.W. Ang’awa never worked at any hospital in Mombasa.”
Corsi,9/2: “In 1960, Dr. James O.W. Ang’awa... took over Port Reitz tuberculosis hospital, a few miles from Coast Province General Hospital, but no documentation has been found that Ang’awa ever delivered babies at Coast Province General...”
Corsi claims the footprint is clear enough for him to declare it suspect, but the document is not clear enough to begin validation. My wife, the neonatal nurse, researched studies showing that baby footprints have been found to be around 80% worthless for ID due to pervasive over-inking and smudging.
Despite still claiming “evidence it is a forgery,” Corsi now invites Lucas Smith to submit the document for verification!
