I’m not saying its phoney, but just odd
He needs to submit hard copy to the FBI and have them verify its provenance.
Don't hold your breath.
This is thread #597 discussing layers in the PDF and what can be seen with Adobe Illustrator.
My friend is quite accomplished, I assure you. His architectural designs are everywhere in DC. Just please someone check into this
This has been posted about 600 times in the last week or so.
I was wondering, though, if the artifacts that some are pointing out are simply the results of the scanning software used to create the digital image. It’s possible that any text that can be OCR’d would be converted to text by the software and placed as another “layer” in the image.
Of course, if this were the case, ALL of the text would be in the same boat, so to speak.
If that’s true, then have the mods delete the thread
Scanning of a document to PDF does create layers. I’ve done it. See my post at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2711500/posts?page=33#33
Scanning to PDF results in layers which can be viewed/moved/hidden in Adobe Illustrator.
Now let’s move on and work on getting a Conservative elected in 2012!!!
My only question is, “How stupid are these people?” Let’s assume for a minute that it is real, they scanned it, and it came out in “layers” for whatever reason. WHY THE HELL WOULDN’T YOU FLATTEN IT DOWN TO A SINGLE LAYER SO THERE WOULD BE NO ROOM FOR THE “BIRTHERS” (I hate that term, by the way) TO QUESTION IT?!?!?!!?!?!
There appears to be a growing consensus of opinion on this topic.
My post of the individual layers: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2711155/posts?page=997#997
The White House claims they took a printed copy of Obama's birth certificate printed on green security paper, scanned it and posted their results. The layers appeared as a part of the scanning process. Personally, I don't think that if they had created a counterfeit computer image they would have had the strangeness in splitting individual words like "None" and "Barack" into different layers.
While this whole "assembled" PDF document the White House put out could be a ruse and trap to further embarrass the "birthers" as Mario considered in his new article, I had another thought. What's to say that the copies given to Obama's lawyer sent to Hawaii, and attested to by Hawaiian officials, actually show the same information on those two paper copies that is now being displayed on the internet in this very badly assembled PDF document.
As I recall the former HI director when interviewed in recent weeks, she said when she saw the alleged original Obama birth registration document she said it was half typed and half hand written. What we are being shown on the net is something that is entirely typed except for the signatures. That does not comport with what the former HI Health Dept Director said.
What if the Obama powers sent the lawyer to Hawaii to provide the necessary cover story that they did get two copies of the Obama vital record there ... but the image on the net now is NOT of the paper copies that they picked up ... say because there is something on it that Obama still does not wish to reveal. So he has a version cooked up once again to put online, and someone screwed up and did not flatten the PDF file prior to release to hide the layers. Would Hawaii officials speak up to affirm or deny that what Obama put on the net is not an image of the copy of what they gave to Obama's lawyer. Or would they keep silent in much the same way they did regarding the Certification document, the short form images on the net since Jun 2008. Remember that Hawaii never confirmed that any of those images on the net were copies of something that they issued. Hawaii has been very willing to cooperate with Obama's stonewalling and game playing regarding the vital records in HI for Obama. And, Obama is playing such a cat and mouse game with the American electorate about all his hidden records that one can never tell with him as to what is real or what is memorex. It is a disgrace how this administration is treating the American citizenry. And the main stream media does not call him out on this and instead helps and enables Obama to conduct such offensive disinformation tactics on the American electorate. Journalism no longer exists in this nation. The media should be ashamed.
Because they were smart, but not that smart?
Because they WANT people to keep talking about it -
“see? No amount of proof will appease those people!”
BTW, I think it’s a fake, too.
I wonder if anyone from this era is willing to have their BC scanned and processed by Illustrator?
Yes, but any layers produced will not be of a higher resolution than the background image. Obama's 'layering' is the reverse. Those layers ARE a higher resolution than the background image.
This expert quotes:
""All of the overlays were of a higher resolution than the background layer," the report said. "This suggests that the overlays [were] created to enhance that content (i.e. make the text darker and/or the edges sharper). The only two plausible explanations for this pattern of layers is: 1. Someone was changing the content of both the text and the stamps. 2. Someone was systematically enhancing the black text layers for legibility, and then enhancing the stamp overlays separately for legibility."
There still has not been any in depth discussion about who this U K L Lee person is. Surprised Rush or hannity isn;t running with this story at all.
