Actually, Hawaii has never officially verified that Obama was born there. When pressed for the records that supported former-HDOH Director Fukino’s July 2009 statement that she had seen the “vital recordS verifying that Obama was born in Hawaii”, Deputy AG Jill Nagamine responded that it was known that Obama was born in HI because his name is in the birth index. IOW, Nagamine is claiming that Fukino’s statement came from looking at the birth index.
But I have documented on my blog that the 1960-64 birth index that the HDOH shows the public has been altered to include legally non-valid records.
And the DATABASE is also known to have been altered by the HDOH because even though Virginia Sunahara’s name is listed in the birth index and her COLB has been disclosed to her brother, when I asked an HDOH employee for a non-certified copy of Virginia’s abbreviated BC, she queried the database and found no birth record for Virginia Sunahara. We know she had a birth record because it was later disclosed, but at that point in time, that birth record (with that BC#) was not under Virginia’s name. It was under somebody else’s name.
Normally requests associated with Obama were sent to Janice Okubo and she always gave the standard (BS) answer that I was not authorized to receive a non-certified COLB, death certificate, or whatever I was asking for. That’s why it surprised me when I got the response saying that there were no records responsive to my request for Virginia’s non-certified COLB.
Later on, I called the HDOH office to find out what had happened to my money order and request for the 1961 birth index the HDOH had told me I could get for $98.75. The secretary couldn’t find any record of my request even though I had received an e-mail in response to it already. All of a sudden she asked me if the request had to do with Obama. I asked if that would make any difference. She said yeah, that all requests about Obama were supposed to go to Janice Okubo. Everything else goes to the “fulfillment department” to be processed according to standard protocols.
So what happened is this: All my other requests for non-certified abbreviated vital records were clearly related to Obama (SAD, Madelyn Dunham, Obama, etc) so they went to Okubo who gave me the BS denial.
Okubo was afraid to tell the lower-level staffers that Virginia Sunahara is actually Obama, so when my request for VS’s record came in it went to the fulfillment office instead of being routed to Janice Okubo to be obfuscated. So this is the only request related to Obama that went to somebody besides Janice Okubo. If it had been sent to Okubo she would have said I was not authorized to receive what I had requested, like she did with all the other requests. The fact that I got a different response confirms that this request never went to Janice Okubo like the others.
According to the OIP the first step in the normal protocols is always to check to see whether the record even exists. So that’s what the secretary did; she checked the birth database for Virginia Sunahara. I had asked for the record for either Virginia Sunahara or Tomiyo Sunahara so she would have queried the name of Sunahara for both of those records. That’s double-checking. And she found nothing there. So she sent me a response saying there wasn’t a record responsive to my request.
IOW, the HDOH changed Virginia Sunahara’s record in the birth database to somebody else’s name. And they got caught because they didn’t tell their lowly secretary that any request regarding Virginia Sunahara was actually about Obama, so she processed the request honestly instead of sending it to Okubo to have her lie and obfuscate.
Good job.
