For citizens going into battle against Afghanistan's officialdom, the warren-like building across the road from the headquarters of Kabul's police chief is a one-stop shop for every document they could need. From their tiny cubbyhole offices, an army of typists can run up everything from marriage certificates to CVs and job application letters. Also available, for several hundred dollars more: Taliban death threats, the special chits also known as "night letters" that can be a passport to a new life in the west. "We can write whatever you need; it depends," said one young clerk. "For example, we will mention...

In Wake of Indiana Petition Forgery Probe, New Rules Offered to Prevent FraudBy Eric Shawn Published December 14, 2011 | FoxNews.com Allegations that forged signatures may have put Barack Obama's name on the 2008 Democratic primary ballot in Indiana have prompted new proposals to prevent possible election fraud in the current race for the White House. St. Joseph County Prosecutor Mike Dvorak, in South Bend, is investigating allegations that numerous names and signatures that put Obama and Hillary Clinton on the state’s presidential primary ballot in 2008 were fakes. Those allegations have led to accusations that Obama may not have...

Shocking election fraud allegations have stained a state's 2008 presidential primary - and it took a college student to uncover them. "This fraud was obvious, far-reaching and appeared to be systemic," 22-year-old Ryan Nees told Fox News, referring to evidence he uncovered while researching electoral petitions from the 2008 Democratic Party primary in Indiana. Nees’ investigation centered on the petitions that put then-senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the ballot. As many as 150 of the names and signatures, it is alleged, were faked. So many, in fact, that the numbers raise questions about whether Obama’s campaign had enough...

Former Gov. Joe Kernan says a signature on a petition to place Barack Obama's name on Indiana's 2008 primary ballot isn't his, putting him among dozens of dubious signatures found in a newspaper's investigation. Kernan, a Democrat who campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primary, told the South Bend Tribune that he didn't sign the Obama document.

World Net Daily published a long-form Hawaii birth certificate at http://www.wnd.com:80/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=342937 . After someone at http://www.obamabirthbook.com/http:/www.obamabirthbook.com/2011/09/i-catch-worldnetdaily-scrubbing-information-that-directly-contradicts-one-of-dr-jerome-corsis-most-important-fraud-theories/ noted that the blacked-out BC# bled through and was far out of sequence from the Nordyke BC#’s, WND edited the article. The issue was brought to my attention here so I dug into it today. This PDF shows my findings. The summary: 1. This BC is problematic because, like other long-forms posted online, it is not legally certified in accordance with the DOH Administrative Rules which require it to have either the OFFICIAL (2 1/4-inch diameter, with stars) DOH seal or the State of...

September 14, 2011 This is a clarion call. A call to Americans of every creed and race to resist the flagrant violation of our Constitution and the rule of law by Barack Obama and all of those who are complicit with him. The people charged with the authority and responsibility to uphold the law and defend the Constitution are missing in action. Cleary it is up to "we the people". We could have stopped it at the ballot box (well...maybe) but this is the mess we are in now and we have to deal with it. After three years I...

Tim Adams was the Senior Elections Clerk for the city and county of Honolulu during the 2008 presidential election. Tim was the person who told the media that there was no long form birth certificate for Barack Obama in Hawaii, and that it was common knowledge by all of the officials there. In his position, he had a staff of about fifty people who were in charge of verifying voter eligibility. He stated in his thesis that he had access to all the usual government databases to verify voter identities. They had access to databases such as NCIS, Social Security,...

When the White House posted online an image of President Obama's purported long-form birth certificate, it also linked to the previously circulated "Certification of Live Birth," the short-form version that had been presented as the only birth documentation available. However, the short-form certificate to which the White House linked April 27 was a forgery, claims computer expert Ron Polland, Ph.D., who says he made the image himself. "I made the birth certificate image that was given to the media at the White House press conference held on April 27, 2011," Polland told WND. Jerome Corsi's book, "Where's the Birth Certificate?"...

When the phrase "The Last Days" is uttered, people often assign different meanings to it. To some, it means the last days of world history, and the literal the End of the World. To others, it conjures up images of the impending demise of the American Experiment. As to the first interpretation, I'll leave that to the sages, the prophets and to God. Regarding the second, the pessimists are entitled to their opinions of course, but that type of thinking is not only counterproductive, it runs counter to the attitude Americans have held since its founding, which is an ideal...

Mark Gillar assembles a stellar cast of the leading experts on the forged Obama "birth certificate."

Mr. Irey is currently preparing to meet Dr. Orly Taitz and document specialist Doug Vogt in Hawaii in one week on August 8, 2011, at Orly Taitz's request to be part of the team scheduled to examine Obama's long form birth certificate at the Hawaii Department of Health. Paul Irey is a retired pioneer in professional photo typography with 50 years experience. Mr. Irey’s expertise goes back to 1967 when he started Bergan Graphics in Fort Lee, N.J. At one point Bergan Graphics had 60 employees working ‘round-the-clock, so Mr. Irey is no small player in his business. Eventually the...

However, there is always the chance that Taitz will be allowed to see the document. My concern is that because the document Obama released has a potential backdoor qualifier as being a potential "abstract", that the "original" document they may be allowed to see will simply be Round Two of the release of the forgery: different enough to start the process all over again and slick enough after learning their lessons and being taught how it's supposed to look by the analysis of the aforementioned experts that it will leave the issue "inconclusive". This time Obama's people are certain to...

When people hear that Obama's birth certificate is a fake, some people (the number is shrinking) shake their heads in disbelief - or feign disbelief - and say things like, "That's impossible', "not in this day and age" and "Not in our country". Those are the same refrains voiced by Russians when Stalin took power, and what the Germans said when Hitler's sadistic rein of terror began (by the way and for the record, Stalin murdered 40-60 million of his own people, Hitler about 7 million, if you're into body counting to score left/right political points. Hitler was also a...

No battle was fought. No guns were fired. No bullets or bombs were involved. In the smooth movement of a pen over a previously-prepared document, the overthrow of the United States of America took place. The coup d’etat, still in its progressive movement of deconstructing America, was achieved without Congressional debate. No voice of argument. Less than 24 hours into office, the putative President of the United States, Barry Soetero (aka Barack Obama), signed Executive Order #13489.Filed on January 23, 2009 at 8:45 a.m., the occupant of the Oval office sealed his records containing past names, student status, foreign travels,...

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...

High-level engineer demonstrates how Nordyke birth certificates used.A prominent software engineer claims the Obama birth certificate released by the White House was forged by using as templates the birth certificates of twins born in Hawaii one day after the president. The engineer, a high-level programmer for a state government, spoke on condition of anonymity... .... He believes forgers used the registration numbers of the birth certificates belonging to Gretchen and Susan Nordyke, 10637 and 10638, to create the Obama birth certificate number, 10641.

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...

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...

I was wrong. There apparently WAS a "seal" on Obama's BC. Savannah Guthrie says she felt it and she took a photo that shows a faint outline of a seal. Unfortunately for Obama, that "seal" IMHO cannot be the same seal as on the Factcheck photos. The size, style, content, and clarity is way off. This "seal" causes even more problems for Obama's case, although it explains why the media didn't see an immediate problem because of the missing seal. Not meaning to pimp my blog, but there is no way to post the images here in a PDF where...

The White House said it is ending its long-running practice of having presidents re-enact televised speeches for news photographers following major addresses to the country, a little-known arrangement that fed suggestions of fakery when Barack Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden. After Obama's live, late-evening address from the East Room of the White House on May 1, five photographers were ushered in to shoot pictures as the president stood at the podium and re-read a few lines of his speech — a practice that news organizations have protested for years. Even though The Associated Press and other news...

You may have thought Barack Obama ended the eligibility debate, and certainly the birth certificate debate, with his release of what purports to be his long-awaited, long-form document. But it's not over – not by a long shot. Beginning today in WND – and extending throughout the week – we will be presenting what I believe is compelling new evidence that Obama is not only ineligible to be president, but that the document released by the White House is fraudulent. I know these are strong words, and I use them advisedly. I did not set out nearly three years ago...

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- Even after the White House offered up President Obama's birth certificate, there are still those who are questioning it's legitimacy. One Grand Junction man who works as a graphic artist says he has discovered something strange about the certificate. "There's no doubt that it has been edited and quite significantly," James Colby said. He's been involved in graphic arts since 2004 and has never had a reason to doubt our president's birthplace. In fact, he says he is politically independent. Yet, Colby says he can't ignore the obvious. After downloading the birth certificate straight off of...

On April 27, 2011, Barack Hussein Obama held a press conference following the release of what he claimed is a copy of his long-form birth certificate on file with the Hawaii Department of Health in Honolulu. The image does not appear to contain an embossed seal, just as that of the “Certification of Live Birth” released on the internet in June 2008 lacked that sign of authentication. The registration number of the short-form document had also been blacked out, which, according to the statement on the bottom of the form, “invalidated the certificate.” Obama himself claimed that the short-form certification...

HOW WE KNOW OBAMA'S LONG-FORM IS A FORGERY - NO COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND: The only non-manipulable image of Obama’s long-form that would have to show the certifying seal is an alleged photograph of the certified long-form. Unlike scans or black and white photocopies, actual photos always show evidence of a seal, as I document here through photographs of my own daughter’s death certificate. But the alleged photo of Obama’s certified long-form shows no sign of a seal. That proves that what he showed reporters was NOT the certified copy he received from the HDOH. It had no seal,...

I found another signature for the registrar, it's from another person's BC, and it's from near the same time period, and upon comparison of the registrar's signatures (see image above), even the layperson can see the 2 signatures have several substantial differences, look at the shape and style of the first character of both as they are drastically different, and size of the loops in the "L"s, the closed loops in the "e"s and how the lower signature (real) the signer's style has an upward lift at the end of the "L". Also the the real pen lift at the...

One big question in this whole BC affair: Obama was supposed to produce HIS birth certificate, the one mama gave him. One that he is supposed to have in his possession since birth, like everyone else does. Original, authentic, used, wrinkled. Instead the President of mighty USA has to send the clerk to Hawaii, to buy a copy, certification, (another forgery?), all of two copies for $10 and $4? Let us see one HIS mama gave him, not another photoshoped "certification"! Media was fed necessary material: "He showed the BC, so controversy is over," - talking heads hammer it to...

Donald Trump did it. Unfazed by the lies of Obama’s mainstream media troops, he stuck to his guns and exposed the big lie that Obama had produced his birth certificate. This lie was propogated by almost every media personality for example Bill O’Reilly, who stated he had seen the birth certificate, and George Stephanopoulos, who only a few days ago waved the COLB in Michelle Bachmann’s face and intimidated her into agreeing that it was THE CERTIFICATE. The claim that Obama had produced his certificate was a lie. Here’s the rub though. Obama knew it was a lie, because, if...

I’d like to thank Mr. Donald Trump, Dr. Jerome Corsi, Joseph Farah at Worldnetdaily and “Birthers” for look out for this country when nobody else would. Now that Barry Hussein Soetoro has been forced to show his “Birth Certificate” largely due to efforts of the aforementioned, the incongruities in the president’s documentation and story are already beginning to show. First, the president didn’t have to, but he lied about the reason he released the birth certificate. The president said that the news media was distracted by the birth certificate controversy when he was attempting to control the national narrative with...

This is getting good... Just when they thought the "release" would put the issue to rest. Let us see if the mainstream media continues the coverup... Below reports from Market Ticker, Drudge Report and The Smoking Gun web site... Via Market Ticker: Oh C'mon #2 - AP Is Involved? The AP has also released a "different version" of the document the White House released. [White House Version Embedded Below, Note The Gap Between Date Stamp And "Date Stamped"] Guys, this is too freaking blatant. Incidentally, the AP's version was flattened before being PDF'd. Too bad they forgot to do that...

A new book by a major New Testament scholar is sure to make mincemeat of many people’s faith. Needlessly. The scholar is the iconoclastic Dr. Bart Ehrman, who teaches religion at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The book is called Forged: Why the Bible’s Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are. Ehrman said on a radio broadcast that about 75 percent of the New Testament documents are supposedly forged. They’re frauds. Dr. Sam Lamerson is a conservative New Testament scholar who teaches at Knox Seminary in Ft. Lauderdale. (By way of full disclosure, I earned a theology...

Two former leaders of the Oakland County Democratic Party are facing a total of nine felonies for allegedly forging election paperwork to get fake Tea Party candidates on November’s ballot.

RICHMOND Two illegal immigrants living in Virginia Beach were charged in a federal indictment with being part of a Mexican-based fraudulent document ring that assaulted and killed rival vendors to establish their foothold in 19 cities, federal officials announced today. A grand jury in Richmond charged Edy Oliverez-Jiminez, 24, with murder, kidnapping and assault in the July 6 killing of a rival document vendor in Little Rock, Ark. The victim’s hands and feet were bound and his eyes and mouth taped shut before he was beaten to death, according to the indictment. After the killing, Oliverez-Jiminez is accused of moving...

Among the many legal problems now being discovered with the foreclosure documents that banks have been using are false notarizations. The most typical variety of this problem occurs when a notary certifies that the person whose signature appears on a document really did sign it, even though the notary didn't witness the signing. While such false notarizing is criminal, I've not yet heard of any notaries being charged. However, in Maryland, Steve Lash of The Daily Record reports that 18 current and former notaries have invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in a foreclosure case.

Oh God, please no..... Today, Qilu Bank is being investigated over a scandal allegedly involving $227m of forged commercial bank bills, used to provide short-term loans to business, and other forged commercial paper. The lender, which is 20 per cent owned by Australia's Commonwealth Bank, is based in Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, in northeast China. Forged commercial paper? FORGED? This is a joke, right? Who forges commercial paper? Why someone who wants to pledge it in a repo or other operation, of course. Otherwise there's no point - if you claim to have it and really didn't lend...

The offshore bank account details of 2,000 "high net worth individuals" and corporations – detailing massive potential tax evasion – will be handed over to the WikiLeaks organisation in London tomorrow by the most important and boldest whistleblower in Swiss banking history, Rudolf Elmer, two days before he goes on trial in his native Switzerland. British and American individuals and companies are among the offshore clients whose details will be contained on CDs presented to WikiLeaks at the Frontline Club in London. Those involved include, Elmer tells the Observer, "approximately 40 politicians". Elmer, who after his press conference will return...

BRUSSELS, Belgium Sept. 30 A former pro soccer player who joined the al-Qaida terrorist network was convicted and sentenced to prison Tuesday for plotting to bomb a NATO base believed to contain nuclear weapons. Nizar Trabelsi of Tunisia, who once played professional soccer in Germany, received the maximum sentence of 10 years in prison from a court that also convicted 17 other men and acquitted five others in the largest terrorism trial in Belgium's history. Trabelsi admitted planning to drive a car bomb into the canteen of the Kleine Brogel air base, a Belgian military post used by NATO where...

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — A suspect wanted in a plot to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Paris has been extradited from Canada and ordered held in a Dutch jail for investigation, prosecutors said Friday. The Algerian-born suspect, identified in court documents as Amine Mezbar, 34, was transferred to the Netherlands Thursday evening and brought before a judicial commission Friday in Rotterdam, where two other suspects in the case also are being held. No trial date has been set, said Marjan van Kempen of the public prosecutor's office. In the normal judicial process, the judicial commission's task is to affirm...

Is using a forged Social Security Number -- but your own name -- to obtain employment or buy a car an identity theft crime? Lately, U.S. courts are saying it's not. The most recent judicial body to take on the issue, the Colorado Supreme Court, ruled last month that a man who used his real name but someone else's Social Security number to obtain a car loan was not guilty of "criminal impersonation," overturning convictions by lower courts. That follows a ruling last year by the U.S. Supreme Court that a Mexican man who gave a false SSN to get...

Txas Attorney General Greg Abbott called for a halt on foreclosures Monday amid nationwide scrutiny over the way they are processed. Notices to suspend foreclosures were sent to 27 loan servicers doing business in Texas, including Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, the attorney general's office said. It did not have the full list of companies available late Monday. The office also called for a halt on the sales of properties previously foreclosed upon, which might affect auctions scheduled today, and on evictions of people living in such properties.

Investigators said the cash was fake, but the crime was very real. Julie Lynn Kimball was arrested on a charge of forgery-counterfeit money. Her bond was set at $10,000. However, she did not have to pay to get out of jail. Kimball was released on a personal recognizance bond. According to an arrest warrant, the 19-year-old passed three fake $100 bills at a Carl's Jr. on July 16. San Antonio police were able to get the suspect's license plate number. Police and the U.S. Secret Service were able to trace the registration to a home in Dale, Texas, being rented...

German claiming to be great niece of Konrad Kujau, who forged the Hitler Diaries, put his signature on fakes of his masterpiece copiesHe is known as the man behind what was arguably the most masterly forgery of the 20th century, the Hitler diaries. Now almost three decades after investigators rumbled Konrad Kujau's multimillion pound ruse, a woman falsely claiming to be his great niece has been convicted of forging Kujau forgeries and selling them to unwitting collectors. The bizarre tale, details of which unfolded in a Dresden courtroom during a two-year long trial, centred on 300 paintings obtained by...

I'll post the whole thing on the first response so the links will be clickable. This is an example of (probably criminal) journalistic malpractice by The Hutch News - an example of how the media behaves on almost every issue including the eligibility issue. I explain why I believe the media ignores our factual corrections at its own peril. I believe this is what we need to be saying to the media whenever we find deliberate deception.

If you haven’t read Shannen Coffin’s piece on Elena Kagan and the partial-birth-abortion debate today, you really should. What he describes, based on newly released Clinton White House memos, is absolutely astonishing. It seems that the most important statement in the famous position paper of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists—a 1996 document that was central to the case of partial-birth-abortion defenders for the subsequent decade and played a major role in a number of court cases and political battles—was drafted not by an impartial committee of physicians, as both ACOG and the pro-abortion lobby claimed for years, but...

Taken from a point midway through the postThe ONE and ONLY time that the two papers published the birth list, beginning at the first announcement, in order, was in the editions that obama’s birth announcement appeared. This was indeed the only time that these announcements were printed this way, as the closest the papers came to doing this again never had all the same names listed in the exact same order. I figured the ten day sample would give conclusive data as to if this was uncommon.

MANILA (AFP) – The Philippines' entry for the Miss Universe beauty pageant has been disqualified after local organisers discovered she was born overseas and out of wedlock, a contest official said Wednesday. Maria Venus Raj, 21, was set to represent her country in August and begin charity work after winning the Miss Philippines-Universe competition early this month. But the journalism graduate was stripped of her title on Monday after the foundation that runs the local competition discovered she had been born in Qatar to an Indian man who was not married to her Filipina mother. Her birth certificate stated she...

… the remarkable reach of the global-terror network A little-noticed investigation by Swiss federal police has uncovered the existence of an apparent terror-support network with ties to the upper levels of Al Qaeda — including an operative believed to have played a role in the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and the May 2003 bombing of a housing complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The discovery of a largely invisible Al Qaeda network in the peaceful alpine nation has gotten virtually no public attention outside of Switzerland. But criminal charges outlined in a July 30 Swiss prosecutor’s report —...

North Korea seems to have suspended the state-sponsored drug trade last year but continues to trade in counterfeit dollar bills and cigarettes, the U.S. State Department claims. The annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report released by the department on Monday said, "Hard-to-detect fake US$100 notes made only by North Korea turned up in 2008 and 2009 in San Francisco and the South Korean city of Busan, although it was unclear how long the notes had been in circulation," AFP reported.
