John Woodman debates Mara Zebest, Tom Harrison, and Karl Denninger on the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. Then, in the second half of hour two, Woodman will debate New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi who is the author of Where's The Real Birth Certificate.

Arizona's maverick Sheriff Joe Arpaio promised surprises in his jurisdiction's investigation of Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidential ballot and his Cold Case Posse is delivering – raising questions that touch on the authenticity of the long-form birth certificate issued last April and the possibility Obama is using a fraudulent Social Security Number. Sources close to the investigation say the posse has decided it needs to see original birth records before it can conclude whether Obama should be eligible for the presidential ballot in 2012, not an electronic file or scanned copies. The sources say the panel needs to examine...

This is the first in a two-part series examining how researcher Ron Polland created a forged duplicate of the Obama long-form birth certificate released April 27 by the White House. This article details the methodology Polland used to deconstruct the White House document for the purpose of reconstructing his forged version. The second article will examine Polland's belief that the White House document was forged and his deductions about the alleged forger. Researcher Ron Polland, known for his forensic investigation of Barack Obama's short-form birth certificate, now has constructed from scratch a duplicate of the document released by the White...

"Tea party exploring Obama's eligibility Arizona event focuses on evidence behind dispute An event scheduled in Arizona is reflecting a new consideration by tea party components of the real evidence behind Barack Obama's eligibility to be president. ... But the general wave of conservative positions endorsed by tea party officials largely has excluded the eligibility issue. Until now. The Liberty Through Action organization has scheduled a meeting tonight with Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., and author of Where's the Birth Certificate?" The event at the Sun City West Foundation Building in Sun City West at 6:30 p.m. is to focus on the...

California attorney Orly Taitz today secured an order from United States District Court Magistrate Judge Richard L. Puglisi demanding representatives of the Hawaii Department of Health appear in federal court Sept. 14 to show why Taitz should be prevented from seeing whatever original 1961 documents the agency has on record regarding Barack Obama's birth. Taitz returned to federal court in Honolulu today after Hawaii DOH officials presented her with a letter refusing to comply with her subpoena on grounds that Hawaii privacy laws prevented officials from releasing Obama birth records to the public. "It's ridiculous," Taitz told WND. She had...

Dr. Corsi, you have a tremendous amount of photographic evidence in Where’s The Birth Certificate. While those of us ensconced in the issue are amazed and appreciative, sometimes the man on the street can suffer from overload on too much info and simply glaze over. If there are three samples of all the photographic evidence in WITBC that people should show to their friends – and congressmen – (or lead with before showing the rest) which three do you feel are the most efficient as illustrations of Obama’s citizenship/lack of eligibility status? There are many convincing demonstrations that the Obama...

Detailed technical analysis of the PDF file the White House released April 27 indicates it is not a scan of the original document, as claimed by the White House, but instead is the final form of an electronic file used to forge the birth certificate on Adobe software, according to reports by experts. Failure to demonstrate how a simple computer scan can produce the effects observed in the Obama birth certificate PDF lends support to arguments that the Obama birth certificate is a forgery, the experts contend.

Why are there white dots on the Obama birth certificate, and how did they get there? These are questions asked by Tom Harrison, a software designer with more than 30 years experience in graphic design. Harrison – a 58 year-old Dartmouth graduate with a background in mathematics, physics and computer science – believes the dots prove the document is a forgery. snip "While many apologists have claimed the layering of the document is a natural outcome of optimized scanning, there is one thing that the scanning process cannot do, even if it is separating layers: it cannot create two separate...

'There isn't much point to denial,' source says of White House-linked James A. Johnson A radical Obama supporter who organizes an "Obama-Robot" website has admitted in online posts that WND correctly identified former chairman of Fannie Mae chairman James A. Johnson as the group's White House-associated ring-leader. William L. Bryan, who posts under the username "P.J. Foggy," is the organizer of Fogbow.com, a self described "OBOT," or "Obama-Robot" website. On his weekly "Reality Check Radio" broadcast July 21, Bryan began the show by acknowledging the veracity of the WND report. "As far as I know [WND] got the boss," he...

Attorney, doc experts to show up at Hawaii Department of Health with court documentComputer scanning expert Doug Vogt and typesetting expert Paul Irey say they will accompany attorney Orly Taitz when she presents to the Hawaii Department of Health a subpoena that should allow her to examine Barack Obama's original 1961 typewritten birth certificate. Vogt and Irey both told WND they are making travel plans to join Taitz in Honolulu when she goes to the state agency at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 8, to present the subpoena in person. "We will plan to hold a press conference late in...

A close examination of the state registrar's stamp on the Obama birth certificate released by the White House indicates the document is forged, according to the preponderance of Adobe experts consulting with WND. There are two different registrar stamps evident on the Obama birth certificate: The date stamp, indicating April 25, 2011, and the text and signature stamp containing registrar Dr. Alvin Onaka's signature. Both registrar stamps appear to have been applied by a rubber stamp inked from a blotter. The registrar stamps appear to be external objects that were imported into the document. The stamps were not impressions copied...

NEW YORK – Unless the typewriter used to type Barack Obama's purported Hawaiian "Certificate of Live Birth" in 1961 was magically capable of producing different size and shaped images with the exact same key, the document released by the White House April 27 is a forgery, says a professional typographer with 50 years experience. "Steel-stamped letters do not expand to larger sizes and morph into different styles of type," retired New York City typographer Paul Irey told WND. As WND previously reported, it would be impossible for the different letters that appear in the Obama birth certificate to have been...

Farah, the CEO of WorldNetDaily.com, and Corsi, author of “Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President,” have filed suit against Hearst, Esquire magazine and writer Mark Warren over a satirical article that they say defamed them and damaged their business interests. They’re seeking compensatory damages of $100 million and punitive damages of $20 million, plus legal costs. [Update: As a commenter points out, that's only for one of the five counts; the full amount sought totals more than $285 million.]

Typeface analysis shows images come from different machines The online image of a Hawaiian "Certificate of Live Birth" was trumpeted by the White House when it was released on April 27 as "proof positive" that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. Now an expert in typefaces and typography says it sure was "proof," but not of what the White House would have wanted. Paul Irey, a retired professional typographer with 50 years experience in his business, has says an analysis of the typefaces used in the Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate that the White House released on April 27 reveals...

NEW YORK – The White House's release of an electronic copy of Obama's long-form birth certificate instead of a certified paper copy raises questions in a 22-page criminal complaint with the FBI filed by an international expert in scanners and document-imaging software. Doug Vogt's complaint charges that individuals within the Hawaii Department of Health, Obama political operatives and an unidentified graphic artist worked in a multi-state conspiracy to create a fraudulent long-form birth certificate for Barack Obama. Vogt's complaint asserts: "I have irrefutably proven that the Certificate of Live Birth that President Obama presented to the world on April 27,...

After fanning the flames of doubt that pressured Barack Obama to publicize a purported copy of his official birth certificate, Donald Trump's latest statements suggest the White House-released document may be a fake. "I don't know exactly what he showed," Trump told the Faith & Freedom Coalition annual conference in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, " but you know, someday somebody's gonna figure that one out." The famed businessman also intoned, "Nobody is protected like Barack Hussein Obama," Politico reports. "I have never seen press that is so protective of a human being before." Though Trump's true stance on the...

The author of the best-selling "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible To Be President" charged today the resignation of White House counsel Bob Bauer is the result of his participation in the release of Barack Obama's "Certificate of Live Birth," which he fears would not stand up to the scrutiny of any serious investigation by the FBI, Congress or the media. Corsi believes Bauer "felt compelled" to resign because of the growing substance to worries that the eligibility issue will blow up into a full-scale investigation. "Bauer sent Perkins and Coie attorneys to Honolulu...

Barack Obama might have hoped releasing his full-length birth certificate would quieten the ‘birthers’ who claim he was born outside of the U.S. But it seems the President has yet to convince the general public, as a new book about the allegations has had a strong debut in the book charts. ‘Where's the Birth Certificate?’ by Jerome Corsi, which argues he is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, is sixth on a New York Times best seller list. The ‘birther’ controversy was led by real estate mogul Donald Trump as he considered running for President, which he decided against last month.

Video: WND's Dr. Jerome Corsi explains the 22-page criminal complaint filed with the FBI by Doug Vogt. Dr. Corsi reports more evidence will be released about the criminally forged birth certificate. The interview aired on the Peter Boyles show 6/1/2011. Via Doug Vogt: A formal notice that a multiple felonies had been committed under U.S. Code section Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 47, Section 1028. I mailed the notice to Director Robert Mueller III at the FBI headquarters in Washington DC on May 25th and 26th (RE461679786US and EG410045020US). A copy of that notice was also mailed to Special Agent...

A new book, now number six on the New York Times' Best Sellers list, is putting the so-called "birther" issue back on the national stage. "Where's the Birth Certificate?" by Jerome Corsi, which debuted on the list out Sunday, argues President Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and therefore cannot be president. "Corsi demonstrates conclusively that no legal authority has ever verified Obama's legal eligibility to be president," the book reads. Corsi also wrote "The Obama Nation" and "Unfit for Command," a 2004 book about Sen. John Kerry that focused on the "Swift Boat" television ads.

This is the first of three articles on the criminal complaint that scanner-expert Doug Vogt filed last week with the FBI. An international expert on scanners and document-imaging software filed a 22-page criminal complaint with the FBI, charging that the long-form birth certificate released by the White House is criminally fraudulent. "What the Obama administration released is a PDF image that they are trying to pass off as a Certificate of Live Birth Long Form printed on green security paper by the Hawaiian Health Department," Doug Vogt writes, "but this form is a created forgery." Vogt's criminal complaint asserts: "I...

Video: WND's Dr. Jerome Corsi appeared on the Tom Tancredo Radio Show last night and laid out the juicy details of what will happen when the American people find out the true details of Obama's constitutional ineligibility and his forged birth certificate. He also gives the first name, Mike, as the person he thinks may have produced the forged document for Obama. I have yet to hear Dr. Corsi go this far in what would take place if Obama is legally dealt with... Pay attention Speaker Boehner! Enjoy!

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump today issued a written statement to the leftist Mother Jones magazine and other news outlets denying he told Jerome Corsi, author of a new bestselling book about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility, he suspected the birth certificate released by the White House is fraudulent. Trump also said he had not read Corsi's book, "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible To Be President," despite having his staff sign a non-disclosure agreement to get the book three weeks before it was released May 17. Trump does not deny calling Corsi this week but...

If you're fortunate enough to find Dr. Jerome Corsi's recent interviews anywhere on the internet, you will discover an investigative reporter who is in command of his voluminous documentation and is consistent in his presentation. I chastized our local paper for thier front page alert (followed by a lengthy second page column) about the latest anti-Palin drivel, while Dr. Corsi's incredibly well-sourced recent book received no mention at all. It is loss to free speech and reasoned discussion that he has been blocked by the mainstream media, but it is also understandable. He is sitting on information that would undo...

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump, who staged a weeks-long public campaign questioning Barack Obama's eligibility to be president during March and April – and rose to the top of the pool of potential candidates for the 2012 GOP nomination then as a result – says he believes the "birth certificate" released by the White House is forged.... Trump said his period of almost-complete silence on the issue following the release by the White House on April 27 of the image of a "Certificate of Live Birth" from the state of Hawaii was not because he was satisfied with the document.... During...

[UPDATE BELOW, AUDIO FOUND] WND's Dr. Jerome Corsi stated on the Bill Cunningham Radio Show that he's going to 'file criminal charges against the White House' over the latest birth certificate forgery. I listened to the live show and then went back to the radio station website to download the show podcast and lo and behold the interview with Dr. Corsi was scrubbed from the show podcast. I think maybe Bill O'Reilly gave them some tips on scrubbing show podcasts... ;-) The radio station in question is Cincinnati's 700 WLW which is owned by none other than Clear Channel Communications,...

NEW YORK – Recalling Dan Brown's bestselling novel "The Da Vinci Code," computer experts have discovered strange anomalies in the Obama birth record released by the White House. They include a different birth registration number that shows up in "hidden text," remnants of the short-form certificate apparently bleeding through the long-form and a "smiley face" in the registrar's stamp that does not show up on other recently issued Hawaii birth records. Curiously, in a simple process run by Optical Character Recognition software that reveals hidden text, the registration number 10611 turns up, instead of 10641, the number displayed on the...

Jerome Corsi states that Obama was born in Kenya. He also claims that he is closing in on Mark Niesse as the forger of Obama's BC in Hawaii.

World Net Daily's Dr. Jerome Corsi will soon release details of the key person who helped create Obama's newly forged birth certificate. Dr. Corsi reports the key person is in the Media. Also, more explosive details revealed during today's interview on Infowars Radio Show regarding Obama's destroyed birth records in Kenya. - 5/20/2011 -

'Fight the Smears' 2.0 launched, mocks No. 1 best-seller as delusional 'joke' Why is the White House in full defense mode against a book by a small publisher contending Barack Obama is not legally eligible to be president? Today, the Obama re-election campaign launched an all-out attack on a brand new book critical of Obama, "Where's the Birth Certificate," by bestselling author Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., calling it delusional, laughable and a "joke." If this sounds like major déjà vu, it's because the Obama election campaign did exactly the same thing in 2008 when it mobilized a major assault on Corsi's...

Best-selling author Dr. Jerome Corsi will join Andrea Shea King to discuss his latest book: Where's the Birth Certificate? Purchase your copy at Amazon. Dr. Corsi will fill us in on this ongoing controversy as well as give us some insight into what we can expect to find that's new. Politically, the eligibility issue is a radioactive hot potato, few will go near it--Dr. Corsi embraces the issue, then digs deeper.Join Andrea this evening at 9 PM ET on THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW. *UPDATE: Obama campaign pushback. Corsi book under attack too. White House in full panic mode.

Jerome Corsi's much-anticipated book, Where's the Birth Certificate?, is important in ways that go beyond the eligibility of Barack Obama to be president of the United States. That question the book addresses but cannot quite resolve. Perhaps more importantly, the book illuminates the David and Goliath dust-up between old school journalists like Corsi and the anti-journalists who now dominates the media. Although the outcome remains in doubt, the terms of battle do not. And unless those terms are changed, the Goliath media will continue its inexorable drift towards Pravda-style journalism. Corsi's book could help level the battlefield. He is the...

An article on Esquire magazine’s website, claiming that the publisher of Jerome Corsi’s new book about President Obama’s birth certificate is pulling it from bookstores, may have been written as a parody, but not everyone is laughing. The Esquire story, written by Mark Warren, spread across the Internet moments after being posted on the magazine’s website Wednesday morning. Esquire has said it was a joke and Warren told TheDC he has no regrets about posting it. “He is an execrable piece of ****,” Warren said of Corsi.

In a stunning development one day after the release of Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President, by Dr. Jerome Corsi, World Net Daily Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah has announced plans to recall and pulp the entire 200,000 first printing run of the book, as well as announcing an offer to refund the purchase price to anyone who has already bought either a hard copy or electronic download of the book.

Interview starts around the 18:37 mark.

Amid questions about the authenticity of Obama's posted birth records raised by the registration number, a researcher has discovered a possible explanation. The Post and Email blog, which has focused on the Obama eligibility controversy, features a report by an unnamed researcher who discovered the record of a girl born the same day as the president who died a day later that could have been the source of Obama's birth certificate. The find is significant because of questions about the plausibility of the registration number indicated on the images of short-form and long-form birth certificates for the president posted on...

In another first interview, Jerome Corsi, author of "Where's The Birth Certificate?," discusses, via extensive research, the Obama birth certificate.

Today's the day Corsi is unleashed to tell all about that 'birth certificate' WASHINGTON – Jerome Corsi's blockbuster making the case that Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency hits bookstore shelves across the nation today – a day on which Corsi is turned loose to tell Americans what he has discovered about what he claims is a fraudulent birth certificate released in desperation to hush widespread public concern about Obama's constitutional qualifications for office.

NEW YORK – Newly unearthed information about Hawaii's procedure for numbering birth records at the time Barack Obama was born casts further doubt on the authenticity of the short-form and long-form birth certificates published online with the president's authority. Details about the registration procedure are significant, because some analysts have wondered how Obama could have been issued a registration number that is higher than the numbers of the published birth certificates of Susan and Gretchen Nordyke, which were registered three days later than the president's. But a 1955 article by Charles Bennett, Hawaii's registrar general in 1961, and George Tokuyama,...

The Honolulu hospital indicated on the Obama birth record released by the White House barred WND from its premises and threatened to call police in a visit seeking medical records of the president's mother. Kapi'olani Medical Center also has hidden away the letter President Obama purportedly wrote Jan. 24, 2009, naming the hospital as his birthplace. Sen. Sam Slom, Hawaii's only Republican state senator, confirmed to WND at a meeting in Honolulu at his legislative office May 4 that Kapi'olani now has put the letter in a safe. Nothing that would commemorate Honolulu and Kapi'olani as the president's place of...

A growing list of apparent anomalies in the Obama long-form birth certificate released by the White House continues to fuel suspicion that the document is a crude, computer-generated forgery. The Hawaii Department of Health and the White House have insisted that the document made public April 27 after nearly three years of public demand is genuine. Web document experts, however, have questioned the document's authenticity, and now a close inspection of the Hawaii Department of Health state registrar's stamp on the birth records reveals an apparent typographical error. The stamp, affixed April 25, 2011, says "TXE RECORD." Yet, on a...

In response to the success of his book (No. 1 at Amazon in pre-release stage) and the elevation of the eligibility issue because of Donald Trump's big megaphone, his sources in Hawaii were telling him that Barack Obama was about to release a fraudulent birth certificate.

It was about three weeks ago that Jerome Corsi, author of "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President," called me with some disturbing news. In response to the success of his book (No. 1 at Amazon in pre-release stage) and the elevation of the eligibility issue because of Donald Trump's big megaphone, his sources in Hawaii were telling him that Barack Obama was about to release a fraudulent birth certificate. Corsi urged that WND report the story. But because of the nature of the warnings, I didn't think it would be meaningful....

Was it really Donald Trump who forced Barack Obama to release what purports to be his long-awaited birth certificate? That is the conventional wisdom of the Big Media. But a cursory review of the timetable the White House released to the Washington Post suggests the impending release of Jerome Corsi's "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President" was straw that broke the camel's back. According to the account in the Post, Obama got serious about releasing the document April 21. That's when White House Counsel Robert Bauer asked Obama's personal attorney, Judy Corley...

MSNBC is reporting that 150,000 copies of the "Where's the Birth Certificate" book have been pre-sold and Farah was counting on 500,000 to 1,000,000 copies being sold. Now that we know where the birth certificate is (and the book obviously offers no claim that it's false) what happens, refunds? What would the ethical thing to do?
