The latest on eBay's 'Kenyan birth certificate'
wnd ^ | July 01, 2009 9:11 pm Eastern | Bob Unruh

Posted on 07/01/2009 8:47:22 PM PDT by Red Steel

Now it's an autographed photograph for sale

The eBay auction seller who has tried multiple times to sell an allegedly genuine copy of Barack Obama's 'birth certificate' from Mombasa, Kenya, now is offering for sale a photograph of several individuals who reportedly contributed to the strategy through which the still-unproven documented was obtained.

And the seller, identified as "colmado_naranja," who claims to have obtained the document while traveling Africa, suggested more information will be revealed on a YouTube video that is planned.

"My user name is InspectorSmith. I've had the account for some time. I have never uploaded anything. ... So this will be the first time that I've ever uploaded anything. So you'll get your document yet, up close and personal," the seller wrote on the latest eBay posting.

The seller explained previously that Kenyans had boasted Barack Obama II was born in the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa at 7:24 p.m. on Aug. 4, 1961, which correlates to speculation that has existed over the president's birthplace since even prior to his election.

n each of the seller's first four attempts at auctioning the "evidence" of the claim, which would presumably render Obama ineligible to serve as president for violating the "natural born citizen" clause, colmado_naranja offered the purported Kenyan birth certificate that "proved" the story.

This just screams of scam. How many other people in Kenya are named “Barack Hussein 0bama II?” I could see an enterprising person there with the same name as the president making a killing off of some idiot in this country.

Yep it's kind of looking that way. I don't understand why anyone is bidding on it though, unless they're shill bids.

Maybe. A hoax that would be impossible were it not for the Marxist usurper's obfuscation. Stay focused.

True but none the less it’s a hoax If someone of note on our side takes the bait they will be mocked in public and that in itself will become an issue and a distraction from real issues.It will be held up as another example of insane right wing nut jobs.
Personally I feel Obama needs to be removed from office ASAP .

yes, the bidders must be working on having ebay shut down the auction.

Right now I'm leaning towards this entire adventure as being a hoax.

In all likelihood a hoax , if only because Zero has had a long time to cover his tracks. Wouldn't it be neat though if it was true and the proof was solid?

Thanks. Quite interesting. I was bidding on the photo until it got past $360. I knew I wouldn’t get it, but it was a kick to be directly involved in this. If I had the guts to risk the $2000 it’s up to, I’d still be bidding just to cheer on colmado_naranja!

So the document is released and its not real ....who does that embarrass?

Why is that embarrassing to the right? The only person that looks bad is the perpetrator of the fraud?

Did the followers of Bernie Maddoff look bad ?
Only a little
Madoff is the one who really looks bad and those who helped him.

I think you are way off base

Well, there was a boy baby born on August 14, 1961, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, to an American mother. His name was Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama II.

Just so you are aware:

1. The Obamas never lived together as husband and wife.

2. Stanley Anne D. Obama, Barack Obama IIs mother, graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1963 with a Bachelors Degree in Mathematics. She started attending the University early in 1961.

3. One cannot have been born in a geographical location where one’s mother wasn’t located in 1961. (Nowadays, who knows what is possible!)

” I don’t understand why anyone is bidding on it though, unless they’re shill bids.”

The obama camp bidding to keep it from ever becoming public!

They have already spent over a million fighting the birth certificate what’s another couple million especially when it’s probably taxpayer dollars funneled through ALCORN.

That's easy since Meg Whitman is a left wing socialist masquerading as a Republican.

I read the text in the listing, and I am still keeping my mind open on this one. It doesn't read like a hoax, unlike the API nonsense. There are names and photographs of people, and at least some of these people are apparently resident in the U.S.

If this were a simple financial fraud, then it is simply too well publicized --- no one-off financial fraud benefits from too much exposure. If it were some other type of hoax, then the hoaxsters should never have brought money into it, because that would make it much more serious as a legal issue.

We'll see. Maybe these are indeed incredibly stupid or foolish hoaxsters. Maybe they are indeed offshore and reasonably immune from our legal system. Only time will tell. I will note that the Obamaites have certainly worked very hard to suppress these attempted sales.

I know that someone will say, “Where’s your source!!”

I’ve been researching Obama’s background since March 2008. This is my usual practice for all presidential candidates and nothing unique to this particular general election. McCain was easy; sources for Obama kept being proscribed or scrubbed. But they forgot to scrub info pertaining to his mother.

Much of what I’m relating here is information gathered by shoe leather - old fashioned research and disseminated on the internet between fellow researchers. There are people gathering information for books which hopefully will come out before 2010.

It is public record that a close friend of Stanley Anne’s related in an interview with the Chicago Tribune that the new mother brought her son and visited the friend on Whidbey Island, Washington, in late August 1961. That is evidence that the two were in the Puget Sound area during Obama’s birth month.

The two recent bidders on the signed photo have been battling in out since $500. One is a coin and currency collector, and the other and antique book collector based on their past e-bay bidding categories.

ok, Someone being in Kenya is not a hoax.

there is no date to the photo and how would this photo connect to the BC they claim to have?

Right now we only know that someone is auctioning their vacation photos and friends.

There is one problem with the Kenya story: are pregnant women allowed to get the type of vaccinations required for travel to geographic areas with sleeping sickness, yellow fever, and small pox (still a problem in east Africa during the 1960s)?

My neighbor, a medical doctor, said NO!

And unless Stanley was some kind of mathematical genius, earning a bachelors in less than two-years (Fall ‘61 to Spring ‘63) is quite remarkable, especially when caring for a baby.

The birth in Canada makes sense. As the wife of a British subject her medical care would have been free and her child would not be a U.S. citizen - as she hated the United States!

You have a very narrow focus IMO. Surely you don't think everyone in Kenya is behind Obama's support of Raila Odinga? I'm not saying what the seller has is a genuine article, but what I am saying is there would be many in Kenya who would be happy to provide information in revenge for the suffering caused in Keyna.
