Vanity: Google buries disputed Barack Obama Birth Certificates - they are gone from index

Google | 07/11/2008 | Swordmaker

Strange thing. Google has buried the disputed Birth Certificate images. They are NOT in Google's image results when searching "Obama Birth Certificate" or "Barack Obama Certificate" or "Obama Certificate of Live Birth". They have lots of general pictures of Obama and pictures of generic BCs or joke ones, but not the ones being disputed. I've gone over 20 pages deep, 400 images, and NOT found any of the disputed images or the various post KOS posting created variations. That is very suspicious... someone is hiding something.

Even More Strange: I searched through 980 images out of over 18,700 of a search for Barack Obama "Birth Certificate" and 480 images of Barack Obama "Certificate of Live Birth" and did not find ONE image of the disputed Birth Certificate. On the first search, after 980 images, it came to a screen that said

"Your search - Barack Obama "Birth Certificate" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

Why do I suddenly feel that the old Soviet Union is alive and well in the United States? Data is being erased by not being indexed. These images were there a week ago—now they are not.

Does Obama WANT this story to grow legs, or what?

It's certainly fair to point out that the search results are being manipulated and not objective, but there's no fraud.

Your statement is incorrect. The term "fraud" has commonly accepted meanings other than the legal one.

From Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: 1 a: deceit, trickery; specifically : intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right b: an act of deceiving or misrepresenting : trick

2 a: a person who is not what he or she pretends to be : impostor; also : one who defrauds : cheat b: one that is not what it seems or is represented to be

When somebody calls it “business fraud” that more than implies a legal definition of the word.

The burden is entirely upon Barry to prove that he is a U.S. citizen by birth according to U.S. law at the time of his birth. This is a constitutional burden, and one that he, to date, has not been willing to shoulder.

I have to prove I'm eligible to work in the US to get a job, why doesn't he have to prove he's eligible for that job?

Politicians, if you don't hold them to the same standards they hold us to, pretty soon they start to think they are better than we are.

I hope you downloaded all the examples before the purge.

Reminiscent of this Star Wars III scene:

“I’m looking for a planet, but the system doesn’t show on the archive maps.” Obi Wan told him.

“Lost a planet Obi Wan has, how embarrassing, how embarassing.” Yoda commented.

Obi Wan put up the star map while Yoda instructed the younglings so that they would be able to help Obi Wan. He pointed to where the planet should be and stated that gravity is pulling everything to that spot, but nothing was there. Yoda asked for suggestions about helping Obi Wan.

“Master, someone erased it from the archive memory.” A child said.

“Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.” Yoda stated.

“How could anybody erase data from the archive memory? That’s impossible, isn’t it?” Obi Wan asked Yoda.

“Dangerous and disturbing this puzzle is. Only a Jedi could erase those files. Who and why harder to answer that is. Meditate on this I will.” Yoda told Obi Wan.

Both your Google problem and the prescient Star Wars scenario point out the convenience -- and dangers of -- having access to comprehensive databases -- especially if liberals have control of them...

Not in the context of this discussion. This is an online discussion forum, not a courtroom. It was perfectly clear to everyone in this thread, except you, that we were using the term "fraud" simply to connote the deceptive and misrepresentative business practices of Google, not that they had legally defrauded anyone of anything of monetary or otherwise tangible value.

No one here suggests that Google be taken to a court of law over this - it's a matter for the court of public opinion. The issue at hand is simply making people aware of Google's unethical and dishonest business practices, not seeking to contrive some legalistic remedy for non-existent monetary damages.

As I said, everyone else here understood that - it's unfortunate you did not. I do want to thank you, however, for giving us all a refreshing and illuminating demonstration of the term "pedantry"...

Anyone who uses the word “pedantry” is engaged in it himself.

It looks like Hawaiian officials are stone walling the release of Obama's birth certificate.

Here’s another blogger giving a thumbs down with pics to obama’s birth certificate. The guy says he is a board certified forensic computer investigator. He says his background includes a lot of investigations into forgeries. His work on obama's birth certificate shows a lot detail.

Here is a google search of the obama birth certificate

In her remarks on MSNBC Michelle Obama says of Barak. "His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was "very young and very single when she had him." "

Its reasonable to conclude that the Obama campaign would be hesitant to release his birth certificate because it would show that he was born illegitamate. Since there is a significant percent of the US population that is illegitimate -- you would think that barak would be comfortable releasing his birth certificate. but maybe not.

Jesse Jackson's remarks about wanting to cut off baraks nuts came because of baraks speech that exhorted fathers to take part in their children's lives--especially black fathers.

That speech may have come because of speculation on the internet about baraks birth certificate--which would show that his mom was single when she gave birth.

As well Michelle's remarks that barak's mother was "very single" when barak was born means that barak obama was born "barry dunham".

The Deleter is one of the most unusual of Mandrake's foes. He is an extraterrestrial contract killer who will "delete" anyone for the right price. However, he does have a code-of-honor, and will seek justice for anyone who tries to cheat him out of his contract fee.

Not so strange. Google does alter or omit things they do not agree with. They’ve been doing it since their existence.

“Only a Jedi could erase those files.” — Indeed!

Get a clue

Thanks, I've got one. The problem is that 95% of the population uses Google to research for FACTS. Google is actively concealing facts with a nefarious purpose. People need to be aware that the non-indexing of pertinent information is as dangerous as posting out-and-out lies as truth.

[Swordmaker]

Now was this intentional? It looks highly suspicious, the law of averages would seem to say Google should at least find a few correct images.

I went through 980 images using Barack Obama "Birth Certificate" and found none at all. There were links to sites that had (and still have) images of the BC but the images shown were generic Obama campaign pictures or pictures that represented nothing related at all. One of the images that was labeled "Barack Obama's Birth Certificate" was a picture of a bunch of bananas. Clicking on it took you to the website that did have images of BO's BC... but no images of bananas. Similar to the substitution of the Marriage License for the BC on the FreeRepublic link.

[Swordmaker]

Thank you! This is similar to what the first page of the Google image search looked like last week:

Instead of this, from a search done today:

This is deliberate... and dishonest... and destructive of our polity.

We here in the fever swamps (see the "fr" in "fever", evidently that's blog speak for FR) have no right to know anything, I guess. Besides ... AJStrata again hath spake.

Actually he makes a good point in today's posting and has somewhat toned down his own loony use of ad hominems that obscure any logical argument he might have. Toned down, that is. He still suffers from whatever bug of the psyche drives him to be that way -- belittling and derogatory to anyone not sharing his opinion. In Dog-Whisperer talk he's dominant-aggressive passing into the red zone at times.

The point is that after 2001 -- where every terrorist (so it seemed) had a fake state driver's license and one state functionary of a license issuer got very horribly burnt to death in an arson job of her car -- the states actually DID start cleaning up their IDs. My current driver license is full of all sorts of special gimmicks to prevent fake ids, as are NJ's new ones. Pre 9/11 Jersey did have some of the easiest to fake licenses. So easy, entrepreneurs did set up in vans outside of college and beach town bars to make fake licenses on the spot.

Yes, it is possible Hawaii did change the paper, and it maybe possible they did not change the laser printed document label. AJStrata was good for GUESSING that might be the case. But, a guess is just a guess. Would hope someone could tie that down as an actuality.

Still ... what AJ doesn't address is more important than his guesses, even if they happen to be right. Obama has done a modified limited hangout and is stonewalling this basic issue. It is something every citizen should want clear proof for -- both for Obama and for McCain.

Obama's autobiography says he himself has seen a paper copy of his own birth certificate. And that wasn't the one presented either, for he wrote of finding it when he was young. Where is that certificate?

And NOTHING stops Obama for authorizing Hawaii to release records of his birth, all or enough of them to prove the legend of his birth.

Where even is the cert number on the image already released? It was blacked out, that alone INVALIDATES the document.

Also ... AJStrata's mind burst about 9/11 document improvements may explain Google's erasing of the images of those documents. Just speculating and talking it out. Hey all you observers of this fever swamp, that's what WE swamp inhabitants do, we speculate, investigate, discuss and talk things out. "All Things Considered" -- that's FR.

We understand how that is very scary to you more elegant and proper people, because it can get, well, *swampy*. That's the way the real world is at times.

So my speculation about why Google erased the images is: Because Homeland Security or maybe Hawaii asked them to. Otherwise the images could be used by forgers. To me that is a very silly reason, but I am just speculating.

[Swordmaker]

It's not fraud. That would be swindling you by deception. As long as the Google search engine is free and makes no warranties as to the completeness of its search results, it can direct you anyplace it chooses.

I would disagree. Google sells its search services to other search services, websites, and businesses. Not providing searches done with due diligence to them, if they search for these terms, would definitely be fraud. If I were such a customer, I would sue.

Thanks for not letting the Google Image Search switcheroo drop off into the old bit bucket.
