Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

[SE Mom]

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.

The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.

Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.

McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

Sorry President-Elect Obama, but you are no longer a “private citizen”.

I think the horror of that is just starting to sink in...

Popcorn?

It doesn't matter where Obama was born. If his mother was a US citizen, then he is.

The question is not if he is a US citizen (which from all indication he is not that either), the question is if he is a NATURAL BORN citizen, big difference. Even if he was born in Hawaii, he is still not a NBC because his father was a British citizen from Kenya and by law that citizenship was conferred to the son. Not to even mention his adoption by the Indonesian step-father and Zero's Indonesian citizenship.

To be a Natural Born Citizen, one must be born to TWO U.S. citizens on U.S. soil.

Excerpts from the article:

“...executive director of the Centre for Urban Schooling, is deeply disappointed in the turn of events.

He (Ayers) could not be a threat to anyone ever. Anyone who knows anything about this man – he’s a distinguished scholar at the University of Illinois and he has been involved in education reform over the past 15 years.

A boy came home to his mother. He had a new bike!

"What a nice new bike!" said his Mother.

"Yes, it's all mine!" replied the boy.

"Well, it's about time," said his Mother.

"It's a great day, Mom," the boy said.

"It is a day we will always remember," the Mother told him.

"We deserved that bike, Mom." The boy was very happy.

The mother was happy too. "Yes, we do," she answered.

"We deserve a lot more, too," the Mother told the boy.

"I dreamed I had a Dad," said the boy.

"You have made our dreams real," replied the Mom.

Thanks for posting the photos, Fred Nerks. Adding the link.

Here’s an interesting exercise for comparison and contrast.

I have never seen a picture of David Obama. David is said to have been a full blood brother to George.

Lucy! You’ll get cooties goin’ over there. Stop that!

Hope you checked it out.

There are still pictures on it, too, from the Occidental College days.

One of the pictures captioned says:

“Here’s the President-Elect, during a period of time when he was known as “Kanye Blagojevich Obama.”

That is the same way Governor Rod R. Blagojevich spells his name. Did he know the IL Gov during school years???

From 'Barry' To 'Barack': Occidental College Video Has The Story

January 8, 2009 05:37 PM

Hey! As it turns out, Ben Smith's Remainders post from yesterday did contain an item that had (potentially) great meaning and suspense! Namely, this video from California's Gold, featuring an interview with Eric Moore, a college chum of President-Elect Obama's from his days at Occidental College.

Moore talks at length about how he and Obama, with members of a circle of "culturally diverse" and "international" friends, participated in campus demonstrations against apartheid in South Africa, and how Obama first began to demonstrate his skill as a speaker. But this is not the great meaning-slash-suspenseful part! As it turns out, it may have been Moore who got Obama to go from Barry to Barack:

Way back when, Moore asked him, "What kind of name is Barry Obama? For a brother, you know, it's very unusual." Obama told Moore about his parents and how his real name was Barack. As it turns out, Moore had recently been to Kenya, specifically, the village where Obama's father came from. "I told him, Barack is a strong name...you should rock Barack."

Moore goes on to say that the use of Barry seemed to be an "accommodation" that made it so he didn't have to "explain himself all the time." Of course, if Moore had called him up in the 1990s to advise Obama to maybe change his middle name, because, man...you want to talk about having to explain yourself to people!

Anyway, the secondary appeal of the video are these pictures of Obama that Moore took, cold chillin' at college:

Here's the President-Elect, during a period of time when he was known as "Kanye Blagojevich Obama." [Not pictured: the Weather Underground.]

And here's Obama standing by some fountain in his "Indonesian shirt," looking for all the world like a guy who totally has a valid birth certificate from the State of Hawaii:

OK, so is the guy next to Obama with the glasses in both of these photos the same?

THIS 1978 photo is while Obama was a High School senior back in Hawaii:

AND

THIS circa 1979 photo is while Obama was at a rally while attending Occidental in California:

This is why no one remembers him: The other kids had no eyes! OMG, they stole the eyes!

Your picture is definitely his best friend Keith Kanugawa, Punahou School's Class of 1977. (Now a convicted felon and living in a car in LA)

I meant NOT his best friend
