As far back as June 2008, there were inconsistencies and alterations to the COLB copy (certification of live birth) that Obama posted on his laughably entitled "fight the smears" website. There were legitimate questions. Atlas coverage going back to the summer of 2008 here. But almost immediately, anyone who raised the issue was gobsmacked, derided, and discredited as a conspiracist, a birther. "Birther" being a knock off of the lunatic "truther" -- those anti-America nuts who claim that 911 was an inside job.
His altered COLB raised serious questions. Digital forensic evidence was produced, peer review welcomed (of which there was none). Instead, the issue became a tool in which to bash the right. And the right played right into it. I made more enemies on the right for raising this issue than I can recount, an animus that continues to this very day.
Of course, after Obama was elected, it was fruitless. No judge would touch it. No one would want to be responsible for what could possibly lead this country into a civil war. Still, the issue raged.
As further evidence of Obama's dishonest narrative bubbles to the surface, everyone prefaces his remarks with "I am not a birther!" (evoking Nixon's "I am not a crook!"), so fearful are they of the taint.
And this is the inherent problem. Why does the right allow the left to control and command the discourse? Why does the right give the left the power to dictate to us what we can and cannot talk about? We can ask questions and we must without fear of the monstorus leftist smear machine. Stop giving the left the power.
The left analyzed every Bush document, even the most mundane and trivial, and when there was no there there, they went so far as to alter his national service record in order to destroy his re-election chances. And they would have, if the blogs hadn't exposed the fraud. That scandal destroyed Dan Rather, as well it should have, but it should have destroyed the left's dominance over what the right can and cannot talk about.
It is election time. I am glad someone in a position of authority is asking for the long form. That's all people ever wanted. Let's see the long form, the vault copy, once and for all. There is something on the vault copy Obama does not want us to see. What is it?
Reuters) - Arizona's secretary of state said Friday he had asked officials in Hawaii to verify that Barack Obama was born in their state in order for the president's name to appear on the November ballot in Arizona.
Ken Bennett, who is Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign co-chairman in Arizona, said he made the request on behalf of a constituent.
Earlier this year, hardline Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio announced that an investigation by his office had found that Obama's birth certificate was a forgery.
Most Republican critics of Obama have given up pushing widely discredited long-running allegations that he was not born in the United States.
Bennett said he is attempting to confirm that Obama's name can appear on Arizona's presidential ballot, the Arizona Republic newspaper said.
While confirming on Friday that he had made the request, Bennett said he did not buy into the "birther" belief.
"First, I have been on the record since 2009 that I believe the president was born in Hawaii. I am not a 'birther,'" he said in a statement.
"At the request of a constituent, I asked the state of Hawaii for a for a verification in lieu of certified copy. We're merely asking them to officially confirm they have the president's birth certificate in their possession and are awaiting their response," he said.
The White House has denied repeated claims that Obama was not born in the United States.
In April 2011, Obama released a longer version of his birth certificate to try to put to rest speculation that he was not born in the country as required by the U.S. Constitution to become president.
The Arizona Republic said Bennett made the request about eight weeks ago and communicated with Hawaii officials as early as four weeks ago.
Bennett's office did not immediately return calls seeking further comment on Friday.
In March, Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio declared Obama's birth certificate a forgery following an investigation by a volunteer posse, acting at the request of conservative Tea Party activists in the Phoenix valley.
The move reviving the birther controversy by Bennett - who is the state's elections chief - met with a weary response from local Democrats on Friday.
"Tea Party Republicans are at it again," Luis Heredia, the executive director of the Arizona Democratic Party, told Reuters.
"By catering to right-wing extremists, Bennett is trying to score cheap political points while sacrificing common sense. Arizona deserves better. It is time to move our state forward."
It is interesting that all that I blogged about Obama in late 2007 and all of 2008 that was at first ignored and then derided and discredited has all been validated as accurate and true in the ensuing years.
My Obama book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America, researched and written largely before the election, warned of his viciously anti-American circle of Jew-hating subversives (Khalid Al-Mansour, Rashid Khalidi, Frank Marshall Davis, Raila Odinga, Ayers and Dohrn, Muslim turned Black Liberation 'preacher' Jeremiah Wright, et al. You would be hard pressed to find a more gruesome mob.
Obama is a complete fiction, Zelig. And that which we do know about him to be true is subversive and dangerous.
As for the "birthers," we have long known that there was something on the long form (the vault copy) that Obama did not want us to see.
The enemedia have a lot to answer for.
Breitbart Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'
Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.
It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.
Obama’s biography in the booklet is as follows (image and text below):
Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago’s South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.
The booklet, which is thirty-six pages long, is printed in blue ink (and, on the cover, silver/grey ink), using offset lithography. It purports to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Acton & Dystel, which was founded in 1976.
[...]
Jay Acton no longer represents Obama. However, Jane Dystel still lists Obama as a client on her agency's website.
According to the booklet itself, the text was edited by Miriam Goderich, who has since become Dystel's partner at Dystel & Goderich, an agency founded in 1994. Breitbart News attempted to reach Goderich by telephone several times over several days. Her calls are screened by an automated service that requires callers to state their name and company, which we did. She never answered.
The design of the booklet was undertaken by Richard Bellsey, who has since closed his business. Bellsey, reached by telephone, could not recall the exact details of the booklet, but told Breitbart News that it "sounds like one of our jobs, like I did for [Acton & Dystel] twenty years ago or more."
The parade of authors alongside Obama in the booklet includes politicians, such as former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill; sports legends, such as Joe Montana and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; and numerous Hollywood celebrities.
The reverse side of the page that features Barack Obama includes former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and early-1990s "boy band" pop sensation New Kids On the Block.
Acton, who spoke to Breitbart News by telephone, confirmed precise details of the booklet and said that it cost the agency tens of thousands of dollars to produce.
He indicated that while "almost nobody" wrote his or her own biography, the non-athletes in the booklet, whom "the agents deal[t] with on a daily basis," were "probably" approached to approve the text as presented.
Dystel did not respond to numerous requests for comment, via email and telephone. Her assistant told Breitbart News that Dystel "does not answer questions about Obama."
The errant Obama biography in the Acton & Dystel booklet does not contradict the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. Moreover, several contemporaneous accounts of Obama’s background describe Obama as having been born in Hawaii.
The biography does, however, fit a pattern in which Obama--or the people representing and supporting him--manipulate his public persona.
David Maraniss's forthcoming biography of Obama has reportedly confirmed, for example, that a girlfriend Obama described in Dreams from My Father was, in fact, an amalgam of several separate individuals.
In addition, Obama and his handlers have a history of redefining his identity when expedient. In March 2008, for example, he famously declared: "I can no more disown [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother."
Several weeks later, Obama left Wright's church--and, according to Edward Klein's new biography, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, allegedly attempted to persuade Wright not to "do any more public speaking until after the November [2008] election" (51).
Obama has been known frequently to fictionalize aspects of his own life. During his 2008 campaign, for instance, Obama claimed that his dying mother had fought with insurance companies over coverage for her cancer treatments.
That turned out to be untrue, but Obama has repeated the story--which even the Washington Post called "misleading"--in a campaign video for the 2012 election.
The Acton & Dystel biography could also reflect how Obama was seen by his associates, or transitions in his own identity. He is said, for instance, to have cultivated an "international" identity until well into his adulthood, according to Maraniss.
Regardless of the reason for Obama's odd biography, the Acton & Dystel booklet raises new questions as part of ongoing efforts to understand Barack Obama--who, despite four years in office remains a mystery to many Americans, thanks to the mainstream media.
Talk about your proverbial can of worms. It is now clear that Barack Hussein Obama Sr.'s immigration file was the impetus for President Obama to release his "long form" last week. If he thought that release would put the matter to rest, it has had the opposite effect. It has all raised more questions than it answered, as does the release of shocking revelations in his father's immigration file.
The release of Barack Hussein Obama I's immigration file is stunning in what it reveals and the questions it poses. BHO I's visa expired Aug. 8, 1961 (Barack Junior was born Aug. 4, 1961) – is that why he married Obama's mother? Stanley Ann Dunham was a white girl in a family way with a mixed-race child, desperate for legitimacy in a culture that condemned such behavior as abject immorality, and Barack Obama Sr. was a con man from Kenya desperate to stay in the USA. Was the marriage merely a business arrangement (she was 17 when she got pregnant)? Is that why it was so important to place the ads in the Hawaiian papers announcing the birth of the future president – because his father was about to be deported?
Stanley Ann Dunham could not have been so savvy as to know that BHO I was a Muslim polygamist. Yet clearly, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was never divorced from his first wife in Kenya. The Immigration and Naturalization Service suspected that the elder Obama's marriage to Dunham was a sham, arranged strictly to secure immigration status for him. Despite the fact that BHO I had married Dunham, the government wasn't buying it: An INS official wrote in 1961 that the agency should "make sure an investigation is conducted as to the bona-fide of the marriage."
And it bears mentioning that BHO I did not marry a different high-school minor whom he impregnated, according to these documents; most probably she went to London for an abortion. But he married Stanley Ann Dunham – why? Immigration status. Obama Sr. was a Kenyan citizen. Kenya was still under English law at this time. But if Barack Sr. was a Muslim polygamist, his "marriage" to Stanley Ann Dunham was invalid.
An INS investigator wrote on June 8, 1964: "They (Harvard officials) weren't very impressed with him and asked us to hold up action on his application until they decided what action they could take in order to get rid of him. They were apparently having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn't seem to figure out how many wives he had."
It is interesting to note that BHO I claims in the documents to have divorced first wife, Kezia, "verbally." According to the Shariah, a man can divorce his wife by repeating it three times. Further, when BHO I returned to Kenya, he apparently lived with his first Kenyan wife and his American third wife, suggesting that the "divorce" he ostensibly secured to marry Dunham was a transitory ruse.
That would make the president illegitimate. In 1787, illegitimate children had different rights. There is no way the founders of this great nation intended for an illegitimate child of a foreign bigamist to attain the highest, most powerful position in the new land.
All this means that President Barack Hussein Obama is not natural born. His father was not a U.S. citizen; he is, by that very fact, disqualified to serve as president of the United States. Those who believe that the "natural born" requirement is no longer relevant in our modern age are wrong. The Founding Fathers added this to the requirements for someone serving as president to make it difficult for a spy or traitor to attain the highest office in the land. Clearly, from Obama's performance, this is a considerable cause for concern.
For years, the media and the left have excoriated anyone who questioned the circumstances and events surrounding the birth of the president of the United States. The lack of transparency and honesty only gave rise to more suspicion. And rightly so. One doesn't hand over the reins of power to just anyone, particularly those with an unknown or sketchy past. The dearth of documentation and paperwork led to more speculation. The American people were like Helen Keller, and the Obama machine kept moving the furniture. Who is this man, and what is he hiding?
The birth-certificate issue became the rallying cry
Talk about your proverbial can of worms. Clearly, Barack Hussein Obama's Immigration file was the impetus for President Obama to release his "long form" last week.

Clearly, BHO I was never divorced from his first wife in Kenya. Further, INS suspected the BHO I/Stanley Ann Dunham marriage was a sham, arranged strictly to secure immigration status for him. But if Barack Senior was a Muslim polygamist, his "marriage" to Stanley Ann Dunham was invalid. Obama Senior was a Kenyan citizen. Kenya was still under English law at this time.
Illegitimate children had different rights -- at least they certainly did in 1789. There is no way that the founders of this great nation intended for an illegitimate child of a foreign bigamist to attain the highest, most powerful position in the new land.
Further, when BHO I returned to Kenya, he apparently lived with his Kenyan first wife and his American third wife, suggesting that the Dunham "divorce" was a transitory ruse.
In 1964, Ann Dunham filed for divorce. By then, Barack had taken up with Ruth Nidesand, a teacher of Lithuanian-Jewish ancestry who became his third wife. A year later, he gave up his doctoral studies and returned home.
[...]
In the last decade of his life, Barack Obama Sr. slid slowly into the abyss. He was fired from a series of jobs. He had, as Firstbrook puts it, “a reputation for having a massive ego and a big mouth, both of which grew alarmingly when he started drinking.” He was also, according to Ruth’s son Mark, abusive to his wife and children, and Ruth eventually left him, taking her sons with him. (NY Review of Books)
President Hussein Obama is not natural born. His father was not a US citizen; he is, by that very fact, disqualified to serve as US President. For those who believe that "natural born" is no longer relevant, you are wrong. Armaros points out in the comments, "The reason the founders have created this requirement was to prevent a British person from assuming US citizenship with the purpose of ascending to higher office and compromise the USA. To prevent a sort of sleeper spy/traitor from getting power in the new nation." Clearly, from Obama's performance, that is a very clear and present danger.
Multiple attempts to get comment from the White House press office have not been returned (here).
An INS investigator, M.F. McKeon, wrote on June 8, 1964: “They (Harvard officials) weren’t very impressed with him and asked us to hold up action on his application until they decided what action they could take in order to get rid of him. They were apparently having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn’t seem to figure out how many wives he had.” (more here)

The birth certificate issue became the rallying cry for those of us who questioned the legitimacy of Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility for the oval office. Our media did not vet BHO. In fact, they took it upon themselves to destroy and smear those who did, or tried to.
The release of Barack Hussein Obama I's immigration file is stunning in what it reveals and the questions it poses. BHO I's visa expired August 8, 1961 -- it that why they married?

It is interesting to note that BHO I claims in the documents to have divorced first wife Kezia "verbally." According to the sharia, a man can divorce his wife by repeating it three times.
Despite the fact that BHO I had married Dunham, the government wasn't buying it:
A memo from Lyle H. Dahlim of the INS, written in April, 1961, says the agency “recommend(s) that Subject be closely questioned before another extension is granted – and denial be considered. If his USC (United States Citizen) wife tries to petition for him make sure an investigation is conducted as to the bona-fide of the marriage.”
The child sealed it -- but who was the father? And it bears mentioning that BHO I did not marry a different high school minor whom he impregnated, according to these documents; most probably she went to London for an abortion. But he married Stanley -- why? Immigration status.
Documents also show that Obama, Sr. entered the country in 1959, and received several extensions to his visa prior to being denied in July, 1964. A memo from Lyle H. Dahlim of the INS, written in April, 1961, says the agency “recommend(s) that Subject be closely questioned before another extension is granted – and denial be considered. If his USC (United States Citizen) wife tries to petition for him make sure an investigation is conducted as to the bona-fide of the marriage.” The wife is Stanley Ann Dunham, the President’s mother, who married Obama, Sr., in February, 1961. The documents also show that the CIS investigated the elder Obama as a polygamist, having a wife in Kenya and a “wife and child in Honolulu.” Dahlim’s memo adds that “Polygamy is not an excludable or deportation charge as Subject is a non-immigrant.” Documents show that Obama, Sr. was denied an extension on his student visa in July, 1964, in part because Harvard University, where Obama, Sr., was a Ph.D. candidate, sought his removal. Obama Sr. eventually left the United States willingly after becoming an illegal alien for remaining in the country past the expiration of his visa. An INS investigator, M.F. McKeon, wrote “They (Harvard officials) weren’t very impressed with him and asked us to hold up action on his application until they decided what action they could take in order to get rid of him. They were apparently having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn’t seem to figure out how many wives he had.” Documents show that Harvard officials considered Obama, Sr. to be a “slippery character,” and conspired with the INS to have him deported. Inquiries with the White House were not immediately returned. The revelation of the handwritten memo mentioning the President’s birth comes as lawmakers across the country grapple with so-called “birther” bills, with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoing proposed legislation requiring all candidates for any office to produce a birth certificate prior to their name appearing on the ballot. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, however, has said he will sign a similar bill.
If he was born August 4, 1961 in a first pregnancy, it is likely that conception occurred 40 weeks previously or so. I make this to be in early November, and wonder how old Stanley Ann Dunham was then, where she was living, with whom, and what level student she may have been.
Obama implied that his father and mother’s wedding may not have been properly documented. "How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore. There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were informed." Obama writes that in his memoir.
And this, Michelle Obama says that Senior and Anna were never married. She described Anna as "very young and very single when she had him (Obama)." (2nd source)
And this -- There is no evidence whatsoever that Senior and Anna ever lived together anywhere, any time. The living arrangements between the announcement of the wedding and the birth of the child were uncertain. Most likely, Senior remained in his dorm room while Ann lived with her parents. Letters written by acquaintances of Senior during the period 1960-1961 with accompanying photographs do not mention or show Anna at all.
Another interesting note -- BHO I's multiple misrepresentations of his birth year. He mixes it up a lot. Coming from a well-to-do, influential family in Kenya, it is ridiculous to suggest that he didn't know. Perhaps BHO I deliberately and fraudently lied about his date of birth so that he could continue to live in the U.S. -- it leads one to suspect that perhaps his scholoarships or other funding may have been cut off at age 28. Some of his financial backing would have cut off at age 28.
And who was funding Obama Senior? According to Harvard:
Jeff Neal, a spokesman for Harvard University, said that university documents predating the INS file, which was compiled between 1961 and 1965, indicate “the University’s Center for International Affairs faced serious constraints in providing financial support for research by international graduate students in Cambridge, and that these students were required to secure and demonstrate independent and sufficient sources of funding in order to remain on campus.” (more here at the Independent)
In 1959, Tom Mboya announced the “Airlift Africa” program, with fund-raising assistance from African-American public figures such as Jackie Robinson, Harry Belafonte, and Sidney Poitier, as well as various white liberals. The aim was to allow future Kenyan leaders to study on American campuses. Obama, having left high school without doing his final exams, didn’t get one of these scholarships. But eventually he prepared for and took the exams, and, with the financial assistance of two American women who were living in Nairobi, he was able to study at the University of Hawaii, in Honolulu. Firstbrook adds, “The records of Barack’s move to the United States are incomplete, but it seems that he also received some funding from Jackie Robinson.” (NY Review of Books)
Add to this the timeline of BHO junior's mother. In October 2008, I published emails concerning the inconsistencies in Stanley Ann Dunham's timeline here:
When public record information from the University of Washington was added to Wikipedia’s biography of Stanley Ann Dunham (Barack Hussein Obama Jr’s mother), it was removed in 35 minutes the first time and 34 minutes the second time. Read what Obama’s team of internet thugs doesn’t want you to know.
See official emails from U of Hawaii and U (see below)
I'm concerned with the unlikely dates:
Sept 26 1960 First day at U of Hawaii for Ann (Why did she start 6 weeks late?)
One month later - conception
Two months later - drops out of University of Hawaii
Three months later - married
10 months later - back in Washington attending classes at University of Washington
These are implausible dates, and may imply that Ann got pregnant in Seattle and THAT is why her family moved to Hawaii. University of Washington records place Stanley Ann Dunham in Washington State in Aug 1961 so how could she be in Honolulu 2680 miles away birthing Barack the same month.
When public record information from the University of Washington was added to Wikipedia’s biography of Stanley Ann Dunham (Barack Hussein Obama Jr’s mother), it was removed in 35 minutes the first time and 34 minutes the second time. Read what Obama’s team of internet thugs doesn’t want you to know.
When I published in this post here, speculating as to who might be the real father of BHO Jr., the leftwingers exploded and sought to destroy me with it. So rabid was their response that it reminded me of the military saying, if you are catching flak, you're over your target.
As graduation neared for the class of 1960, Stanley “Ann” Dunham (Barack’s mother) had hoped to join many of her classmates at the University of Washington. She was also accepted to the University of Chicago, according to Obama's memoir, the best-selling "Dreams from My Father.", but she popped up instead at the University of Hawaii nearly 6 weeks after the start of the 1960 Fall semester. (See email from U of Hawaii at Manoa below)
In a highly unlikely scenario, she then conceived Barack Hussein Obama Jr. only one month after she started classes Sept 26th 1960. Then, while only two months pregnant in early January 1961, Stanley “Ann” Dunham drops out of college. She then supposedly married Barack Obama Sr. three months after conception and only four months after arriving in Hawaii. And only 10 months after first arriving in Hawaii, she is back at the University of Washington, 2680 miles away. (See email from U of Washington below). Contrary to a massive disinformation scheme by the Obama campaign and the news media, Stanley Ann Dunham did not return to the U of Hawaii until Barack Obama Sr. left the island.
Madelyn Dunham, Barack’s maternal grandmother, abruptly left a lucrative career in Seattle WA as VP Bank Officer in the late summer of 1960 to work in Hawaii as an hourly wage bank teller. This afforded her time to raise Barack Hussein Obama Jr. from birth. Madelyn reportedly did not return to her previous salaried banker management level until years later when Ann snatched Barack Jr. to go to Indonesia.
Barack Hussein Obama Jr’s mother, Stanley “Ann” Dunham, gave a telling admission while still in Washington State as a recent high school graduate in the summer of 1960 when she told her friends: "I don’t need to date or marry to have children”. Oddly, although Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was already married with children in Kenya, Ann supposedly married him in order to legitimize her child’s birth.

Request for investigation of BHO Sr.
An investigation of BHO Sr. is requested because a mother (identity redacted) is concerned that her daughter will marry BHO Sr. who "has
one or two wives now" and because he has reportedly overstayed his required departure date. (The overstay report is controverted by docs at pages 7 (Report

BHO Sr.'s response to denial of stay extension and ensuing discussion
A INS secretary records her conversations with BHO Sr. after his "Application to Extend Time of Temporary Stay" (pages 14-15) is denied. BHO Sr. pleads
his case to remain in the USA, but the secretary tells him that the decision is final. Four days later, BHO Sr. calls again and requests to talk to the
offical (J. Hamilton, Jr.) who denied his application. The secretary tells him that Mr. Hamilton is not available and repeats that the decision is final. A
day later, another INS official records a call from a Harvard U. official who is "not in favor of ext[ension]."

I thought there was something wrong with my computer when I tried to import the .gov's PDF file into Photoshop. But now that I see what you got when you put it in Word, it's the same thing that Photoshop does to it when I import it! It's DEFINITELY a Layered image that has been cobbled together!
Now, why would only the signatures (and just a partial of Stanley Ann Dunham's) come up? It certainly looks as if someone took Obama's Birth Certificate and then cut&pasted it together!
Keeping in mind that PDF's are made Adobe's creation, here's what I get when I import it into Adobe's Photoshop program:
This is so maddening to listen to the media on this recent revelation... it's such an obvious fake.
Look at the attached JPG... (which shows what you will see when opening the PDF in Illustrator and how to get there)... but to recap... if you open the PDF in Illustrator (instead of Photoshop) - Select the entire document and go to the Object menu and choose Clipping Mask > Release. Repeat as necessary until all clipping masks are released. Also open the Layer and turn off the visibility of each clipping group and you can see all the numerous places in which information was added (edited) into the form.
Lastly, look at the attached 1961 sample image found on the Internet of a legitimate 1961 Hawaii Birth Certificate (which someone posted to show what a real certificate would look like from that year in Hawaii)... look at the marks on this Internet version and you can see this was the template for Obama's BC handiwork. The handwriting is exactly the same between posted Internet image and Obama's fake version -- the placement of boxes and marks are in the exact same position, dates are where the modified clipping masks occur to adjust dates to fit for Obama, but the handwriting of dates match (except for the clipping mask changes). Even the Cert. number is only off by the last two digits (which...you guessed it... happens to be a clipping mask layer).
UPDATE Doug Welch tells me, "it is not a forgery. It is scanned using OCR that adds layers to a scanned document. Anyone that works with OCR scanners knows this."
UPDATE: Atlas reader Jeff responds to Welch:
If it was scanned using OCR then the layers would have searchable text. They do not. The different objects are images and not text. Doug should maybe get a little better acquainted with OCR technology.
UPDATE: "Public pressure finally forced Obama to do what he did today. Now the game begins," said Corsi. "Nixon thought he could stop the Watergate scandal from unfolding by releasing a few tapes. All that did was fuel the fire." Read more: 'Obama blinked. Now game begins'
I will be on Eric Bolling's show on FOX Business tonight to discuss the release of Obama's birth certificate.
Why is Obama gaslighting the American people? Why is he toying with, gaming the American people? I broke the story of the altered COLB back in June and July of 2008 -- the COLB he posted to his farcically-titled blog, "Fight the Smears," was an altered document. He subsequently admitted to dual citizenship for close to half his life. The question was a real one, and the American people have a right to know who and what is serving them at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Percy Sutton, NYC political icon in the African American community and lawyer for Malcolm X, told a NY 1 news reporter that Dr. Khalid al Mansour solicited a favor and a recommendation on behalf of Barack Hussein Obama in order to secure Barack's entry into Harvard. Sutton was approached by Mansour on Obama's behalf, to secure (procure?) Barack's admission into Harvard from the second college, Occcidental.
How did Obama come to Mansour and Saudi Prince Waleed back in 70s/80s?
Khalid al Mansour is a vile antisemite, extremist Muslim and high level adviser to Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. How did Obama come to Khalid at such a tender young age? He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii and then went on to a drug fueled couple of years at Occidental College, where he performed poorly. How did he come to have rabid hatemonger Khalid al-Mansour sponsor him?
And why is the press so protective and apoplectic over this issue? The press took Bush's documents under a microscope, and when they didn't find anything, the "Gold Standard" of Journalism's Dan Rather used forged documents to attack President Bush's military service in a malevolent attempt derail Bush's presidential election campaign. The malice by the media was undeniable. CBS's Rather and Mapes knew that Bush had, in fact, volunteered to go to Vietnam.
The stark-raving madness of the media is made plain in the Obama document scandal and the CBS Bush document crime.

I hope that Trump can get to the bottom of this void in Obama's mysterious past.
Today Obama announced he would finally release the long form of his birth certificate. As Obama continues to toy with and taunt the American people, you have to scratch your head and say, what took so long? And why?
The White House releases the following statement regarding President Obama's long-form birth certificate:
THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 27, 2011 Pfeiffer Post: President Obama's Long Form Birth Certificate
WASHINGTON – Today, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer posted the following on www.whitehouse.gov/blog. The post is below and available HERE.
President Obama's Long Form Birth Certificate
In 2008, in response to media inquiries, the President’s campaign requested his birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. The state sent the campaign the President’s birth certificate, the same legal documentation provided to all Hawaiians as proof of birth in state, and the campaign immediately posted it on the internet. That birth certificate can be seen here (PDF).
When any citizen born in Hawaii requests their birth certificate, they receive exactly what the President received. In fact, the document posted on the campaign website is what Hawaiians use to get a driver’s license from the state and the document recognized by the Federal Government and the courts for all legal purposes. That’s because it is the birth certificate. This is not and should not be an open question. The President believed the distraction over his birth certificate wasn’t good for the country. It may have been good politics and good TV, but it was bad for the American people and distracting from the many challenges we face as a country. Therefore, the President directed his counsel to review the legal authority for seeking access to the long form certificate and to request on that basis that the Hawaii State Department of Health make an exception to release a copy of his long form birth certificate. They granted that exception in part because of the tremendous volume of requests they had been getting. President Barack Obama's long form birth certificate can be seen here (PDF). Correspondence with the Hawaii State Department of Health can be seen here (PDF).
At a time of great consequence for this country – when we should be debating how we win the future, reduce our deficit, deal with high gas prices, and bring stability to the Middle East, Washington, DC, was once again distracted by a fake issue. The President’s hope is that with this step, we can move on to debating the bigger issues that matter to the American people and the future of the country.
Yes, that birth certificate. Donald Trump, the oft-married casino tycoon, is considering a run for the presidency, and he wants to see President Obama's birth certificate. The real one, the so-called long form, not just the certification of live birth, which is not the same thing. With his celebrity status, Donald Trump demanding to see the certificate will force the Obama handlers to tie themselves in knots, again, loudly and publicly, to say that it's none of our business.
Back in early June of 2008, Atlas broke the birth certificate story and showed for the first time that the certification of live birth that Obama released was indeed a "horrible forgery." This was demonstrated by a digital forensic examination specialist, an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American College of Forensic Examiners, The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, International Information Systems Forensics Association -- the list goes on. He also a board certified as a forensic computer examiner, a certificated legal investigator, and a licensed private investigator. He submitted his findings to Atlas. He has been performing computer-based forensic investigations since 1993 (although back then it did not even have a formal name yet), and he has performed countless investigations since then.
We welcomed peer review. No one would touch the story. I said then, as I say now. I have no idea what is on the long form, but it is mighty pecuiar that a President would not release it. I mean, really. Every other president has released every document, school record, passport, military record, school transcript ad infinitum.
Obama has released nothing.
We could speculate. Maybe it was the name of his father. His religion. His place of birth. Maybe, maybe, maybe. All speculation.
What was most egregious was the propaganda enemedia refusing to ask these questions while running with any lie about Bush's documentation. The enemedia went so far as to produce a forged document (an innocuous one at that) concerning President Bush's Air National Guard service (Rathergate). Imagine that -- the media's mad obsession with the minutiae of every detail of every document of Bush's life (even the most mundane), but not one mainstream query as to why the good folks of America were forbidden from viewing Obama's birth certificate long form. Astonishing.
Even Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie, who took office vowing to clear up the controversy once and for all, had to go back on his word. He says that to produce Obama's birth certificate would have "political implications," ones "that we simply cannot have."
I last wrote of the birth certificate issue in my former column at Newsmax, "The Certificate Circus." Here is an excerpt:
Obama ran a low-resolution COLB on his own site FighttheSmears.com, which has now been taken down and the archives scrubbed. It was at that time that a digital forensic examination specialist contacted me. For professional and personal reasons he wanted to remain anonymous, but I know who he is and vetted him. “Techdude’s” credentials? He is an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the American College of Forensic Examiners, the International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, the International Information Systems Forensics Association — the list goes on.
He is also board certified as a forensic computer examiner, a certificated legal investigator, and a licensed private investigator. He has been performing computer based forensic investigations since 1993 (although back then it did not even have a formal name yet) and he has performed countless investigations since then. He told me that Obama’s COLB was a “horrible forgery.” I advised “Techdude” that I was ill-equipped to make such a determination, and he offered to submit to me a detailed forensic examination analysis — which he ultimately did.
When I broke the story and presented his very extensive and meticulously documented analysis, we welcomed peer review. Nobody stood up. Nobody would touch it. To their credit, the supporters of Hillary Clinton (the “PUMA” bloggers) did much to investigate and advance the story. And while the Obama Chicago attack machine and left-wing smear merchants went into full swing, the mainstream activist media would not touch the story. Not once.
I never proposed that any of the various scenarios being put forth were absolutely correct. I said at the time, “Do I believe Obama was born in Hawaii? Probably. Is there something on Obama's birth certificate he does not want us to see? Foe shizzle. Should a president of the United States have to present his vault copy to take office? Absolutely.”
I said that forensically, the COLB Obama had presented was an altered document. And I stand by that to this day. A release of the vault copy would have put this baby to bed a year ago. Instead, Obama and his operatives added fuel to the fire by not only not releasing the vault copy, but by spending upwards of a million dollars on five law firms to fight its release.
And what of the other questions pertaining to the source of his funding for Harvard (i.e., foreign aid, foreign student loan applications) and the passport on which he traveled to Pakistan in 1981? Let’s just say hypothetically that Obama satisfied the birth certificate questions and the American people wanted info on his Pakistan trip — i.e., what passport he traveled on, or the source of funding for his Harvard education, his ties to Khalid al-Mansour, etc. Those raising such concerns would have no case. They would be discredited before they even started.
And then there was the passport question. While Obama has shared his extensive obsessions with Indonesia, Kenya, etc., we know, for example, that he went to an Indonesian school for close to six years as a child whose religion was Muslim. Did he travel on a Indonesian passport at that time?
There is clearly something on that form that Obama does not want the American people to see. Period. Obama must present it if he is to run for re-election, should he not?
But there is more to the paperwork puzzle. Do you remember this curious story during the Presidential election? A couple of months before rumblings began about Obama's birth circumstances and the discovery that BHO's COLB (certification of live birth) was a forgery, a story broke in late March 2008 that State Department employees had tampered with the passport files of Barack Obama.
At the time "State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the violations of McCain and Clinton's passport files were not discovered until Friday, after officials were made aware of the unauthorized access of Obama's records and a separate search was conducted."
The incidents raise questions as to whether the information was accessed for political purposes and why two contractors involved in the Obama search were dismissed before investigators had a chance to interview them.
I always thought they rifled through Clinton's and McCain's to make it look like it was all three, but it was Obama's passport records that they accessed. Secondarily, almost as an afterthought, there were "violations" concerning Clinton and McCain. But who stood to gain from a tampering, and why?
There is a video here of Obama's response to the passport "breach" back on March 21, 2008. Watch it -- I think it's telling that he says, not that he has anything to hide, "not because I have any particular concerns" [minute -.23]. This is before the birth certificate scandal. Who would say that?
"So when I speak about having lived in Indonesia for four years, having family that is impoverished insmall villages in Africa --knowing the leaders is not important -- what I know is the people...I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college -- I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."
Tapper was surprised and said:
This last part -- a college trip to Pakistan -- was news to many of us who have been following the race closely. And it was odd that we hadn't hear about it before, given all the talk of Pakistan during this campaign.
Much speculation has been made about what national passport Obama used when he traveled to Pakistan in 1981.
So Obama confessed to this trip two weeks after his passport was tampered with.
Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin Laden (The Sheik).
Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business. (more here)
And then there is this murder tied to the Obama passport breach. Needless to say -- there have been no arrests years later in this case.
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department's Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car.
Emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
City police said they do not know whether his death was a direct result of his cooperation with federal investigators.
"We don't have any information right now that connects his murder to that case," Cmdr. Anzallo said.
Police say a "shot spotter" device helped an officer locate Lt. Harris.
A State Department spokeswoman yesterday declined to comment, saying the investigation into the passport fraud is ongoing.
The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State Department had improperly accessed passport information for presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency's top ranks.
One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained "passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State."
Back in March 2008, the State Department launched an investigation of improper computer access to passport records of Barack Husssein Obama. The investigation was focusing on one employee — a contract worker with a company headed by an adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama (more here at The Washington Times)
Pbama said at the time:
In Portland, Ore., Mr. Obama said the series of attempts to "tap into people's personal records" were "a problem not just for me but for how our government functions."
Laughable considering how intrusive his administration has been and continues to be in accessing private information.
Officials do not know whether information was improperly copied, altered or removed from the database during the intrusions.
[...]
"As soon as we realized that there were these unauthorized accesses for Senator Obama's passport files, we collected the information, we briefed the secretary, we briefed Senator Obama's staff, all before we ever replied to the reporter," Mr. McCormack said.
Chief of firm involved in breach is Obama adviser updated 9:10 p.m. EDT, Sat March 22, 2008 cnn.com WASHINGTON (CNN) — The CEO of a company whose employee is accused of improperly looking at the passport files of presidential candidates is a consultant to the Barack Obama campaign, a source said Saturday. John O. Brennan, president and CEO of the Analysis Corp., advises the Illinois Democrat on foreign policy and intelligence issues, the source said. Brennan briefed the media on behalf of the campaign this month. The executive is a former senior CIA official and former interim director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He contributed $2,300 to the Obama campaign in January…
Comment: See my article about General Dynamics - the company used by the Obama campaign to tamper the passport. Tom Ayers (Bill Ayer’s Father) was on the board of General Dynamics. Also, right after Obama Usurped Office, GD was contracted to improve the security of the Passport system.
Federal authorities aren't looking to prosecute them, but to pay them to secure the nation's networks.
General Dynamics Information Technology put out an ad last month on behalf of the Homeland Security Department seeking someone who could "think like the bad guy." Applicants, it said, must understand hackers' tools and tactics and be able to analyze Internet traffic and identify vulnerabilities in the federal systems.
Tom Ayers, father of Obama friend, communist and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, served on the General Dynamics Board. As head of the corporation's finance committee, Northern Trust was the trustee of the corporation's Salaried Savings Plan and the Hourly Savings Plan that was overseen by the committee along with fellow members Lester Crown whose son, Jim, and daughter-in-law, Paula, are $200,000 bundlers for Obama's presidential campaign.
Northern Trust Bank is also the same bank that gave Obama his below prime rate home loan for his current mansion.
Many believe General Dynamics was also involved in the "security breach" or tampering with the Obama Passport before the election.
Just after the election, the State Dept. awarded the same company that breached the initial passports to come up with a new Passport technology:
(Source) The State Department awarded a $99.3 million, five-year contract today to a team led by General Dynamics Information Technology to print the passport card.
The contract calls for one base year and five option years. State’s Logistics Management Office, Management Acquisition unit processed the acquisition.
Research is pending on this, but you can already see disturbing
Also disturbing is this analysis from Bahukutumbi Raman, a former Indian counterterrorism chief:
How much – if anything – the 19- or 20-year-old Obama knew about the Afghanistan jihad during that 1981 visit is unclear.
But it’s precisely the shortage of details that worries some, like veteran security analyst Bahukutumbi Raman, a former Indian counterterrorism chief.
Mulling how a President Obama would deal with each of South Asia’s historical foes, Raman said that as an Indian, he naturally felt troubled that Obama had not disclosed the Pakistan visit earlier.
“Why did he keep mum on his visit to Pakistan till this question was raised?” asked Raman, who is the director of India’s Institute for Topical Studies. “Has he disclosed all the details regarding his Pakistan visit? Was it as innocuous as made out by him – to respond to the invitation of a Pakistani friend or was there something more to it?”
Raman continued, “As I read about Obama’s visit to Pakistan in the 1980s, I could not help thinking of dozens of things. Of the Afghan jihad against communism. Of the fascination of many Afro-Americans for the jihad. Of the visits of a stream of Afro-Americans to Pakistan to feel the greatness of the jihad. Of their fascination for Abdullah Azzam …”
Raman said although having such thoughts may seem “morbid,” it was “understandable when one has a feeling that one has not been told the whole story, but only a part of it.”
“It is the right of the Americans to decide who should be their president,” he said. “It is my right to worry about the implications of their decision for the rest of the world, including India.”
The Obama campaign did not respond to an invitation to comment on some of the speculation surrounding the visit to Pakistan or to provide further details about the trip.
According to published reports in Pakistan, Obama in 1981 also stayed at the home of a prominent politician, Ahmad Mian Soomro, in an upscale Karachi suburb, and went on a traditional partridge hunting trip north of Karachi. Soomro’s son, Muhammad Mian Soomro, is a senior politician who served as acting president before the appointment of President Asif Ali Zardari last September.
POTUS 7/9/09 Massive Internet Scrub In Progress
Yesterday's item, "Fight the Smears Disappears," documented the changes that have recently been made to Obama's high-profile Internet site, "Fight the Smears," and also to the Internet Archive, also known as the "WayBackMachine.com" -- Obama has removed his bogus Certification of Live Birth from the Internet -- at the same time, the Internet Archive just happened to "lose" its archived copy.
>What's really ironic is that FactCheck.org is so invested in their defense of Obama's bogus bona fides, that they just can't dig themselves out of the hole they dug themselves into. FactCheck now stands alone as a defender of the indefensible.
In the last 24 hours, further evidence of an, organized, massive scrubbing of the Internet has been discovered. Evidence of this extraordinary campaign was posted on this site on June 18th. Sometime between June 8, 2009, and June 18, 2009, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) changed the requirements for identification that they maintained for over 100 years. All of a sudden, Hawaii will now accept Certifications of Live Birth (COLB) as proof of identification and residency, and will no longer require the certified "Certificates of Birth" -- although Hawaii says that they will still take the traditional birth certificates.
On June 7th, this website reported that the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu posted on its website letter on White House stationery dated January 24th (since scrubbed), in which Obama wrote, "As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi'olani Medical Center -- the place of my birth -- I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters" -- even though Obama himself has previously claimed to have been born at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, a claim backed up by his sister Maya.
Until June 7th, even United Press International (UPI) and Snopes.com contained statements that Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu. Here is a screen capture from Snopes.com that says, "Barack Hussein Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center." Today, Snopes.com claims that "Barack Hussein Obama, was born on 4 August 1961 at the Kapiolani Medical Center." Snopes claims they made the change because Wikipedia made the change.
Here is the UPI screen capture that claims Obama was born at Queens -- but now the UPI claims Kapiolani. Remember, Obama, himself, told UPI that he was born at Queens. So, because someone at the White House sent a letter to Kapiolani, all the websites that have been covering for Obama are now scrambling to scrub content that they have claimed as accurate for the last couple of years. Over one year ago, I wrote the following for the "Biography" page: On the Internet, there is an organized, systematic cleansing of Obama-related content.
Every couple of days I get an email telling me this link, or that link, connects to a "Page not found -- 404 error." The extensive body of Obama web-knowledge, that has evolved over the last 20 years, is shrinking. Stuff that's considered an Obama smear or unflattering is sent to the Obama '08 cyber shredding machine. And the campaign is getting help from some really big web service providers.
A good example is Kristof's famous New York Times article, in which Kristof quotes Obama saying that the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth" and in which Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent" -- that's gone -- from The New York Times -- butit's here though. And, the Trinity UCC website has completely changed. Now, it's all sweetness and light. Gone are all those great Rev. Wright "God damn America" videos and anti-Israeli Trumpet magazine excerpts. There's less on the web every day. In time, the entire Obama body of knowledge will consist of Obama's 3 bogus novels -- "Dreams From My Father" -- "The Audacity of Hope" -- and the latest -- "Change We Can Believe In" -- all written by Barack Hussein Obama or his "ghost-writers."

We could speculate. Maybe it was the name of his father. His religion. His place of birth. Maybe, maybe, maybe. All speculation.
What was most egregious was the propaganda O-media refusing to ask these questions while running with any lie about Bush's documentation. The enemedia went so far as to produce forged documents concerning President Bush's Air National Guard service (Rathergate). Imagine that -- the media's mad obsession with the minutiae of every detail of every document of Bush's life (even the most mundane), but not one mainstream query as to why the good folks of America were forbidden from viewing Obama's birth certificate long form. Astonishing.
There is clearly something on that form that Obama does not want the American people to see. Period. Pbama must present if he is to run for re-election, should he now?
I last wrote of the birth certificate issue in my former column at Newsmax, "The Certificate Circus." Here is an excerpt:
Obama ran a low-resolution COLB on his own site FighttheSmears.com, which has now been taken down and the archives scrubbed. It was at that time that a digital forensic examination specialist contacted me. For professional and personal reasons he wanted to remain anonymous, but I know who he is and vetted him. “Techdude’s” credentials? He is an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the American College of Forensic Examiners, the International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, the International Information Systems Forensics Association — the list goes on.
He is also board certified as a forensic computer examiner, a certificated legal investigator, and a licensed private investigator. He has been performing computer based forensic investigations since 1993 (although back then it did not even have a formal name yet) and he has performed countless investigations since then. He told me that Obama’s COLB was a “horrible forgery.” I advised “Techdude” that I was ill-equipped to make such a determination, and he offered to submit to me a detailed forensic examination analysis — which he ultimately did.
When I broke the story and presented his very extensive and meticulously documented analysis, we welcomed peer review. Nobody stood up. Nobody would touch it. To their credit, the supporters of Hillary Clinton (the “PUMA” bloggers) did much to investigate and advance the story. And while the Obama Chicago attack machine and left-wing smear merchants went into full swing, the mainstream activist media would not touch the story. Not once.
I never proposed that any of the various scenarios being put forth were absolutely correct. I said at the time, “Do I believe Obama was born in Hawaii? Probably. Is there something on Obama's birth certificate he does not want us to see? Foe shizzle. Should a president of the United States have to present his vault copy to take office? Absolutely.”
I said that forensically, the COLB Obama had presented was an altered document. And I stand by that to this day. A release of the vault copy would have put this baby to bed a year ago. Instead, Obama and his operatives added fuel to the fire by not only not releasing the vault copy, but by spending upwards of a million dollars on five law firms to fight its release.
[....]
In what could be considered a psyop on the American people, the birth certificate issue is being used to smear the Republicans in general as “birthers,” conspiracy nuts who have given themselves over to right-wing nuttery. Any mention of this issue inspires in many the same revulsion as being diagnosed with the clap did in the ‘50s. And the arrogance and fear on the right of being tainted by this issue has created such dissension and infighting that we’re eating our young — and the left is positively giddy.
We, the American people, are not the enemy here, we are not the guilty party. The media should stop blaming the victim. Remember: conservatives are not responsible for the birth certificate issue at all. Obama is, by refusing to this day to release the vault copy — whether because it contains something damaging or simply because it enables him to wield the weapon of ridicule against the right. At this point, the effect is the same regardless of which of those possibilities is true. This carnival of conspiracy has become a deliberate distraction from the real issues and the real destruction being wrought by the Obama administration.
The longer the Obama camp lets this issue fester and grow, the more it divides the country. And at the end of the day, anyone who questioned the birth certificate is going to look nuts, and any subsequent challenge from the right on any legitimate issue will be dismissed as a recrudescence of “birtherism,” and more of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
What trickery! What a nasty game to play on the electorate that put him in office. Are the American people so contemptible as to be deserving of such treatment? Has the focus on the birth certificate taken our eye off the ball on questions pertaining to the source of his funding for Harvard (i.e., foreign aid, foreign student loan applications) and the passport on which he traveled to Pakistan in 1981? Let’s just say hypothetically that Obama satisfied the birth certificate questions and the American people wanted info on his Pakistan trip — i.e., what passport he traveled, on or the source of funding for his Harvard education, his ties to Khalid al-Mansour, etc. Those raising such concerns would have no case. They would be discredited before they even started.
Let’s not cloud the issue. Obama’s COLB was altered. He should produce the vault copy. Then the opposition can get on with the business of stopping his destruction of the economy and his weakening of American hegemony as he pursues his disastrous foreign policy.
Today, Hillbuzz has a very simple and plausible answer to Obama's inexpicable mysterious secrecy. I am not saying it is so -- because we can't know until Obama releases his long form. But this makes a great deal of sense.
Remember, Abercrombie promised that once he was elected Governor he would prove Obama’s birth certificate existed because he would march down to the Hall of Records and demand its production from the archives…and he would then hold it aloft in the gentle Hawaiian breeze, high above his balding pate, for all the world to see, thereby producing the document Obama has spent millions to keep hidden.
Well, after he was elected, Abercrombie strangely acknowledged no original birth certificate could be found for Obama in Hawaii, but that there were “handwritten notes” that he was born on the island of Oahu in 1961. Abercrombie did not claim he saw the actual birth certificate.
But, now he’s claiming it’s illegal to produce the birth certificate even if he did find it, because Obama refuses to let the public see this document.
None of this makes any sense until you read the Ground Report below, and get a new take on what’s going on in Hawaii regarding the single greatest current mystery of the 21st Century (“Why Won’t Obama Just Release His Birth Certificate?”…which is also a question the lamestream national media refuses to ask):
Dear HillBuzz,
Regarding the whole Obama birth certificate controversy, I believe Hawaii has a big problem.
Recently, when asked about the subject, newly-minted Speaker of the House John Boehner replied “The State of Hawaii says he was born there and that’s good enough for me.” His reply was brilliant.
It reminded everyone that it’s not the Speaker’s job to sort out the mess (it should have been addressed by the Dems, the election officials, and the media during the campaign), but it also, clearly, put the onus on the State of Hawaii. Around the same time Neil Abercrombie, the new governor of Hawaii, waded into the mess wanting to clear everything up for the president. Instead, he has only added to the confusion by admitting there doesn’t seem to be a birth certificate only a handwritten notation in the archives. (Which could quite possibly have been generated by Obama’s grandparents as a way to register the birth if Obama was born somewhere else.)
Personally, I believe the governor is an intelligent well-intentioned man who acted without thinking it through. Rush Limbaugh believes there may be some angle to what the governor did. If there is, then I believe it was a “cover your papakole” move on the part of the governor. He doesn’t want to be the one left holding the blame when, finally, the American public says “Enough! Just show the damn birth certificate already!”.
He can honestly claim the deception and obstruction happened before he took office and when he tried to find the truth he was told he didn’t have legal access to the birth records. So he’s off the hook, but the incumbent state officials may not get off so easily. Lastly, there is information on several blogs about a court case that may have been filed in New York State Court called Strunk v. Paterson. I’ve heard that a state judge recently ruled — based on evidence — that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen. The court documents go into all of the birth certificate topics, including the Indonesian adoption.
The fact that Obama was adopted by Indonesian Lolo Soetoro in the 1970s, and his name was legally changed to Barry Soetoro at that time, is most likely the reason he is spending millions of dollars to hide his birth certificate. He never filed the papers to change his name back to “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.”, so any birth certificate produced by the state of Hawaii would list him as “Barry Soetoro”.
It’s easy to see why he never wants this to come to light. Aside from the legal ramifications of this, how would the American people feel about Obama lying to them about his NAME all this time? And if he lied about something as simple as that, what else has he lied about? It would open a whole host of new questions for most people about this man of deliberate mystery.
Just wondered if you knew anything about any of this. I find the court documents hard to read and I have no way of checking their authenticity. People need to stop claiming Obama was not born in Hawaii and start focusing on that adoption name change. That’s probably what Neil Abercrombie ultimately encountered that’s made him backtrack on all this.
Think about it: when the adoption went through, the law required Obama’s birth certificate to be changed to reflect his new name, which became, and remains, Barry Soetoro. So if Abercrombie went looking for anything in the Hall of Records with “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.” on it, he wouldn’t find anything besides those scribbled, handwritten notations in the archives (since those would not have been changed with the adoption, as who would have thought to do that?). The actual birth certificate says “Barry Soetoro” on it.
That’s why Abercrombie couldn’t locate it.
And why Obama won’t release it.
Mystery solved.
Tag in Kaanapali, Maui
I honestly and truly believe this solves the entire mystery.
It is seriously this straightforward.
* Obama was indeed born in Hawaii in 1961
* Obama was indeed adopted by Lolo Soetoro in the 1970s
* Obama’s name was indeed changed to Barry Soetoro in the 1970s
* Obama’s birth certificate was altered per Hawaiian law to reflect his new name in the 1970s
* Obama never changed his name back to “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.” — most likely because he used “Barry Soetoro” on all of his student aid applications for college, and probably received foreign student grants and admissions assistance playing off his years living in Indonesia
* All the records, transcripts, documents, and paperwork Obama continues to hide from the public is all hidden because it lists his name as “Barry Soetoro” on all of it.
* Obama will not allow his birth certificate to be released because it lists the “wrong” name on it: Barry Soetoro
It is as simple as this, folks.
UPDATE: Good analysis from PP:
As you know I also say we can't know until it is produced just what is the reasoning for all this trouble surrounding it.
But my viewpoint has never been originated from the 'birther' perspective but more from that of a strict constructionist of our constitution.
We have a requirement that a President be certified to be a 'natural born citizen' to serve in the office. It is not a major burden to supply documentation to prove such eligibility.
Now some perspective on where there are issues here.
Obama mentions in his books the existence of a physical long form,leaving the current Governor position in Hawaii troubling, since he mentions reading it and even cites his birth weight which is only contained on a long form of the birth records.
To place this all in time Obama was already running for office of State Senator when his mother passed. Even if there were something 'odd' in his long form which he may have seen when going through her effects after her death it could have raised issues that would not be easy to explain in the context of an already underway State Senator campaign.
If either his father was not listed as who he claims or his name was different due to adoption or even both items then it would have taken some major damage control work for his campaign at the time to go forward. The history of the Kenya story was already well established by this time and to have to alter it in any way would have been troubling to say the least.
Now to the election for President cycle. When the Electoral College meets the Speaker of the House provides certification of the eligibility of the candidates for the office. It is my understanding that Pelosi certified two different documents to the Electoral College as to this being done and from the reports I read those certifications are in conflict with each other. I have not been able to access the actual documents so I can not judge if this is valid or if there are even two such certifications.
In any event it is questionable how Pelosi could do any certification at all without having been presented the long form of the birth certificate. You have to understand the many varied parts of the Hawaiian laws on what a COLB is and how it can be legally altered or changed without any audit trail of changes.
In fact the Hawaiian law allows a COLB to be made up out of whole cloth to support such programs as a Federal or State Witness Protection Program. The COLB is allowed however such actions for a long form birth certificate are not.
There are all sorts of odd situation in the laws of Hawaii for cases of birth to midwives and early births out of hospital care as in the birth in a taxi on the way to the hospital situation.
In summary my position is and has always been that the Constitution requires proof of natural birth and to date that proof has not been provided by President Obama to meet that requirement. Nothing more and nothing less.
“Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?” she was asked (around 9 minutes into the video above).
“I think the public
rightfully is still making it an issue. I don’t have a problem with
that. I don’t know if I would have to bother to make it an issue,
because I think that members of the electorate still want answers,” she
replied.
You can watch the interview on video from Ustream.
I am happy to announce that I've joined the Newsmax family. I will be blogging for Newsmax, along with esteemed luminaries Christopher Ruddy, Dick Morris, Michael Reagan, David Limbaugh, Steve Emerson, Edward I. Koch, Ben Stein, Frank Gaffney, Dr. Laura, Herbert London, John Stossel, and Bernard Kerik, among others.
My first blog is here, but not to worry, this will not impact Atlas at all. Atlas is my baby, first and always.
It was a little over a year ago that Atlas broke the story that Obama's certification of live birth was a "horrible forgery". I ran a 28 page forensic digital analysis meticulously prepared by a forensic digital examination specialist exposing the fraud. Obama hired five law firms to fight the release of the vault copy. It has never seen the light of day, despite numerous calls by hundreds of thousands of concerned Americans to release it.
Interestingly, in the past week, Obama's secret police have been massively scrubbing the net of any and all copies of the COLB. Even vaporizing the copies on the "wayback machine". You can see the documents he has erased here. Mighty strange. Or not.
Just last week I was reviewing them online for a piece I was researching. So this is very new.
What
a difference a day makes. Just yesterday, I posted a
page (cursor down) from the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children that featured a letter
from the White House affirming the hospital as Obama's birthplace (see next item).
Well, today, the letter is
gone -- scrub-a-dub-dub!
Why would they remove the letter? This
is getting absurd.Bogus POTUS7/9/09
Massive Internet Scrub In Progress

And the
political Left and the press, the supporters of the Usurper-in-Chief, have the
gall to attack anyone that questions this EVIDENCE of a conspiracy as a kook, a
nut -- as a "Birther."
Can I just say something? I am watching FOX looking for any Iran coverage and Geraldo Rivera is hosting "an investigative hour" on the suspicious death of Michael Jackson. I kid you not.
The man was a hopeless drug addict for years and died at 108 pounds. Jackson admitted his drug abuse problem on the stand back in 2003. Friends thought he would be dead in six months, so heavy was his
addiction to painkillers, but Geraldo is pointing to foul play.
What irks me is that Rivera is suggesting that Jackson may very well have been murdered. There was a motive to murder him, according to Rivera. Yes, those greedy folks behind Michael's big comeback in England could recover their losses if Jackson was murdered and the murder was made to look accidental. And who are those "goons" with whom Michael surrounded himself?, Rivera accuses. And then goes on to suggest, "he [Jackson] dies accidentally, you get all your money back."
Now why does this irk me (apart from the obvious idiocy and industry this filth will give life to)?
Because a year ago I broke an explosive story when I ran an exclusive analysis from a leading digital forensic examination scientist, meticulously documenting that the certification of live birth that Obama released to his website, Fight the Smears.com, was a "horrible forgery".
What it meant is anyone's guess. I welcomed peer review. No one would touch it. Needless to say, a year later so many questions remain unanswered and millions of Americans want to know, but FOX has never touched the subject matter. Never. Not a word.
But they will allow some second rate assclown to start a dangerous rumor with scurrilous accusations based on nothing but the lure of sensationalism and ratings. That's OK?
They won't cover Iran because they are so few "journalists" in Iran and "so many restrictions, it is difficult to get information".As if the actual demonstrators getting beaten, arrested, and killed aren't legit sources.
Do you remember this curious story during the Presidential election? A couple of months before rumblings began about Obama's birth circumstances and the discovery that BHO's COLB (certification of live birth) was a forgery, a story broke in late March 2008 that State Department employees had tampered with the passport files of Barack Obama.
At the time "State
Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the violations of McCain and
Clinton's passport files were not discovered until Friday, after
officials were made aware of the unauthorized access of Obama's records
and a separate search was conducted".
The
incidents raise questions as to whether the information was accessed
for political purposes and why two contractors involved in the Obama
search were dismissed before investigators had a chance to interview
them.
I always thought they rifled through Clinton's and McCain's to make it look like it was all three but it was Obama's passport records that they accessed. Secondarily, almost as an afterthought, there were "violations" concerning Clinton and McCain. But who stood to gain from a tampering, and why?
There is a video here of Obama's response to the passport "breach" back on March 21, 2008. Watch it -- I think it's telling that he says, not that he has anything to hide, "not because I have any particular concerns" [minute -.23]. This is before the birth certificate scandal. Who would say that?
"So when I speak about having lived in Indonesia for four years, having family that is impoverished in small villages in Africa --knowing the leaders is not important -- what I know is the people...I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college -- I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."
Tapper was surprised and said:
This
last part -- a college trip to Pakistan -- was news to many of us who
have been following the race closely. And it was odd that we hadn't
hear about it before, given all the talk of Pakistan during this campaign.
Much speculation has been made about what national passport Obama used when he traveled to Pakistan in 1981.
So Obama confessed to this trip two weeks after his passport was tampered with.
Pakistan
was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan
refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated
from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the
leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin
Laden (The Sheik).
Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the
time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by
their embassy for official business. (more here)
UPDATE: This article is from April 2008 (thanks Slimguy) but I was unaware of the murder. I am just seeing the story. Needless to say - there have been no arrests a year later in this case.
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from
the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church,
the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a
federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead
inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in
Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department's
Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the
neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead
inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue
car.
Emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
City police said they do not know whether his death was a direct result of his cooperation with federal investigators.
"We don't have any information right now that connects his murder to that case," Cmdr. Anzallo said.
Police say a "shot spotter" device helped an officer locate Lt. Harris.
A State Department spokeswoman yesterday declined to comment, saying the investigation into the passport fraud is ongoing.
The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the
State Department had improperly accessed passport information for
presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and
John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into
the agency's top ranks.
One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed
in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme
after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained "passport
information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of
State."
Comment: See my article about General Dynamics - the company used by
the Obama campaign to tamper the passport. Tom Ayers (Bill Ayer’s Father) was on
the board of General Dynamics. Also, right after Obama Usurped Office, GD was
contracted to improve the security of the Passport system.
Federal authorities aren't looking to prosecute them, but to pay
them to secure the nation's networks.
General Dynamics Information Technology put out an ad last month on behalf of
the Homeland Security Department seeking someone who could "think like the bad
guy." Applicants, it said, must understand hackers' tools and tactics and be
able to analyze Internet traffic and identify vulnerabilities in the federal
systems.
Tom Ayers, father of Obama friend, communist and unrepentant terrorist Bill
Ayers, served on the General Dynamics Board. As head of the corporation's
finance committee, Northern Trust was the trustee of the corporation's Salaried
Savings Plan and the Hourly Savings Plan that was overseen by the committee
along with fellow members Lester Crown whose son, Jim, and daughter-in-law,
Paula, are $200,000 bundlers for Obama's presidential campaign.
Northern Trust Bank is also the same bank that gave Obama his below prime
rate home loan for his current mansion.
Many believe General Dynamics was also involved in the "security breach" or
tampering with the Obama Passport before the election.
Just after the election, the State Dept. awarded the same company that
breached the initial passports to come up with a new Passport technology:
(Source) The State Department awarded a $99.3 million,
five-year contract today to a team led by General Dynamics Information
Technology to print the passport card.
The contract calls for one base year and five option years. State’s
Logistics Management Office, Management Acquisition unit processed the
acquisition.
Research is pending on this, but you can already see
disturbing
Also disturbing is this analysis from Bahukutumbi Raman, a former Indian counterterrorism chief:
How much – if anything – the 19- or 20-year-old Obama knew about the Afghanistan jihad during that 1981 visit is unclear.
But it’s precisely the shortage of details that worries some, like veteran security analyst Bahukutumbi Raman, a former Indian counterterrorism chief.
Mulling how a President Obama would deal with each of South Asia’s historical foes, Raman said that as an Indian, he naturally felt troubled that Obama had not disclosed the Pakistan visit earlier.
“Why did he keep mum on his visit to Pakistan till this question was raised?” asked Raman, who is the director of India’s Institute for Topical Studies. “Has he disclosed all the details regarding his Pakistan visit? Was it as innocuous as made out by him – to respond to the invitation of a Pakistani friend or was there something more to it?”
Raman continued, “As I read about Obama’s visit to Pakistan in the 1980s, I could not help thinking of dozens of things. Of the Afghan jihad against communism. Of the fascination of many Afro-Americans for the jihad. Of the visits of a stream of Afro-Americans to Pakistan to feel the greatness of the jihad. Of their fascination for Abdullah Azzam …”
Raman said although having such thoughts may seem “morbid,” it was “understandable when one has a feeling that one has not been told the whole story, but only a part of it.”
“It is the right of the Americans to decide who should be their president,” he said. “It is my right to worry about the implications of their decision for the rest of the world, including India.”
The Obama campaign did not respond to an invitation to comment on some of the speculation surrounding the visit to Pakistan or to provide further details about the trip.
According to published reports in Pakistan, Obama in 1981 also stayed at
the home of a prominent politician, Ahmad Mian Soomro, in an upscale
Karachi suburb, and went on a traditional partridge hunting trip north
of Karachi. Soomro’s son, Muhammad Mian Soomro, is a senior politician
who served as acting president before the appointment of President Asif
Ali Zardari last September.
Jesse H.
Merrell, who lives on Garfield Street Northwest, tells Inside the
Beltway that a pair of deputy U.S. marshals paid him a visit last Friday after
he had written a letter to U.S. District Court Judge James
Robertson regarding President Obama's citizenship
controversy.
Judge Robertson this month threw out a lawsuit questioning whether Mr. Obama
was a native-born American citizen, and therefore qualified under the
Constitution to be president.
The judge ruled that the eligibility question has been dragged through the
mud long enough.
"The issue of the president's citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged,
texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry during
Mr. Obama's two-year-campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it
resolved by a court," Judge Robertson wrote when dismissing the case brought by
Gregory Hollister, a retired Air Force colonel.
Mr. Merrell now reveals: "I was visited by two U.S. marshals ... after I had
written a letter to Judge Robertson for his rant threatening sanctions over
lawyers who filed a suit challenging Obama's right to be president over the
'natural born' citizen clause in the Constitution.
"I told them unless the First Amendment had been repealed, or they were going
to arrest me, we had nothing to talk about."
Mr. Merrell says one of the marshals cited "some obscure law which made it
illegal to say anything that caused 'emotional distress' to a federal judge."
UPDATE: THE MILITARY, NOW CONGRESS (SCROLL FOR UPDATE)
Back in June Atlas broke the story that may very well bring down Hussein! :) More military calls for proof of eligibility. And now a member of Congresss.
Open Letter to the Secretary of Defense
Open Letter to the Secretary of Defense
Honorable Robert M. Gates, 3 Mar. 2009
Enough is enough! You must be aware at this point of the tempest brewing among the Rank and File. I am writing you in an effort to appeal to your sense of concern for the Military; a concern we share not only for the Military as a whole but for each and every individual who wears the Uniform in the Service of our Country. I am in this regard specifically asking you for your help. I implore you to not wait until the ‘pot boils over’ and we find ourselves in total disarray.
I am convinced, beyond any doubt, that the moral well being and efficiency of our fighting forces to defend our Country is soon to be hanging in a precarious balance if not already. In my humble estimation this is NOT a theoretical possibility to construct a thesis or a contingency plan about. It is a reality and is happening right now. Resolution of this issue must be accomplished in the most expeditious manner available at your disposal to gain immediate relief to those of us who are struggling to fully comply with our sworn Oath to the Constitution while being conflicted by questions relating to the qualifications of the POTUS to hold the office in full and absolute compliance with the Natural Born Citizen Clause.
Regardless of differences in the color of our uniforms, the color of our skin, religion or gender WE are Brothers and Sisters in Arms and our family is being torn apart. Are you not looking and listening to what is happening around you? How can anyone of good conscious stand by and let this happen to us? I for one cannot! You must care enough to intercede to stop this. Is this not within your power to do so? Why have you not acted already? What is it that you are waiting for?
If you have any doubts of what I am saying is true you need look no further than the comments made on the Military.com site regarding the actions of Lt. Scott Easterling who, in my opinion, is an absolutely courageous young Army Officer. Irrespective of your personal opinion of his actions, one thing is abundantly clear; the horrible, hateful and demeaning things that were being said about him and one to the other among my Brothers and Sisters in Arms were things that I have NEVER experienced in ALL my years of military service. It is no less than gut retching to see this happening. The wounds that are being inflicted will NOT be healed by any Medicine I have at my disposal. There is nothing I learned in Medical School or in my training as a Flight Surgeon that can fix this; save the absolute power of Truth. The POTUS must stop concealing the documents once and for all and the issue of his qualifications must be addressed. Make no mistake; any adverse consequences to the troops as a result of your failure to act responsibly will be in large part directly on your head.
Have you considered the legal ramifications for our fighting forces if for any reason the POTUS is not qualified. Are they in Iraq illegally? If so, does this make them terrorists under International law as the Islamic radical elements have been calling them? Have they given up their Geneva protections and do not even know this? If so, when captured can they be killed or tortured without International legal ramifications? Have they been stripped of the legal protections by the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief act? Are you willing to allow this risk to them when they are fighting for us?
Once again I find myself at a loss of words to try to explain the abject and total dismay I have at the administration, to include the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, to allow the painful division now occurring in our military to proceed unabated. I hope that I do not need to remind you that you as well took an Oath to support and defend the Constitution. As a point of honor you are either willing to do this or you are not. If you are not, then preserve your honor, resign and let someone who cares more about us than that do what is right.
I again respectfully implore you to act within your powers and help us. It is absolutely true and is my Prayer to my Creator to allow me to suffer the slings and arrows of being thought a fool rather than to have my convictions realized that persons of responsibility have allowed through negligence to have the Office of the President of the United States to be USURPED; it is self evident however, that whatever the outcome we must know the truth.

UPDATE: BIRTHERS HIT CONGRESS
heh ............ Over at Politico -uh, can we make it retroactive fellas?
Rep. Bill Posey, a freshman Republican
from Florida, introduced a bill yesterday mirroring proposed state legislation
in Missouri and elsewhere that stems from fringe doubts about Obama's
eligibility for office.
The full bill text isn't yet available, and Posey's spokesman didn't
immediately respond to a request for comment, but here's a summary:
H.R. 1503. A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971
to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the
office of President to include with the committee's statement of organization a
copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other
documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the
qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the
Constitution; to the Committee on House Administration.
Though Posey's spokesman wasn't available, a Feb. 13 letter from Posey to a
constituent on the subject appears on a website
pushing the story in which Posey noted that courts and Hawaii officials had
rejected the claims, but didn't state his own view on the subject.

"We the People of the United States of America" are
entitled to know the legal qualifications of the President and Commander in
Chief. For the better good and National Security of "We the People of the
United States" and for Absolute Command of the Military Forces of the United
States, I whole heartedly support the efforts of Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ for taking
legal action to determine whether or not Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry
Soetoro, Citizen of Indonesia and possibly citizen of Kenya, is eligible to
become President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the United
States Armed Forces.

"I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body." Ayn Rand
