Certifigate: Obama Kenyan BR Images: Taitz, Corsi Speak; Response to Critics, Farah Promises More
After much discussion occurred over the image that Dr. Orly Taitz put forth as allegedly being Mr. Obama’s Kenyan Birth Registration form image, and after WorldNetDaily decided to pursue its own investigation into the image, we now have a couple of inconsistencies.

The first comes from the blog DefendOurFreedoms.net, showing that there have apparently been, in fact, two different images of the Kenyan Birth Registration form image:

The COLB for Barack Obama that was filed with this case: http://www.scribd.com/doc/18018714/03118509265

And this one is modified to show some coded jokes:

This modified one is showing jokes like: The Font of the Certificate=Schmutz (A Schmutz is a chump, as in you are a chump)
#5733=The number of the Certificate, is code for : “Problem with Windows REGISTRY”, a sly reference to your claim that Obama does not appear on the Hawaii Live Birth Registry. 47O44=Easiest of all. BOH’s age=47 0=O (if you look close you can tell that that is a Schmutz Font “Oh” not “Zero”) EF Lavender is ORGANIC DISH SOAP

The original one does not say EF Lavender, it says KF Lavender. The original one shows the number is: 47,644. [emphasis original]

The Scribd link actually shows the “bad” registration image.

Not only this, but it can now be revealed — via both commenters and the blog TheSteadyDrip — that an Australian registration image could be used as a specimen to help determine authentication (via bomford.net) [Oops! They took their site down; here's another copy]:

Click on the image above and then click here for a full copy of one of the Kenyan Birth registration image for comparison purposes.

Thanks to more comments on TRSOL, the WashingtonIndependent site takes note:

One of my friends in the small community of Obama “birther”-debunkers passes on quite the discovery: a 1964 “certified copy of registration of birth” from Australia, easily available on Bomford.net, a genealogy site. There are striking similarities between this document and the one Orly Taitz is passing off as a “Kenyan birth certificate” for Barack Obama.

- The design is identical, down to the seal at the top and the classifications (”Christian name,” etc) used for identifying the baby.

- The “registrar” on the Bomford document is G.F. Lavender. On the Taitz document, it’s E.F. Lavender.

- The “district registrar” on the Bomford document is J.H. Miller. On the Taitz document, it’s M.H. Miller.

- The number of the book is identical on both documents: Book 44B, Page 5733.

What’s more likely — that two Kenyan bureaucrats shared last names with two Australian bureaucrats, and that the numbers on both certificates were identical? Or that someone used this document, available online for anyone who wanted to look, to forge the Obama “certificate?”

The story has now fundamentally changed. We now have two distinct images of the Kenyan Birth Registration form and what appears to be a legitimate Australian Birth Registration form image.

In fact, the question subsequently becomes, was the Australian image used as a basis for the Kenyan image? Are there enough inconsistencies to substantiate this claim? Or, could the Australian image be used as the basis for a “proof-positive” specimen showing that the “good” Kenyan image is, in fact, legitimate?

Let’s up the ante. As FreeRepublic.com commenters analyze the images, maybe the Australian form image is the forgery? Or, maybe both images are fraudulent?

Let’s go further: Assuming that all the images are fraudulent, why would someone go about taking a Australian Birth Registration image and manipulate it to be representational of a “forged” Kenyan Birth Registration image?

The saga most definitely continues…

Update: More interesting comments:

You may have jumped the gun there. The Bomford/Australian certificate image seems to have disappeared from all the “debunking” articles. Check out post 1,139 about 2/3rds down the page, re the Kenyan coat of arms emblem:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2307402/posts?q=1&;page=1132#1132
Looks like the Aussie cert was copied from Taitz’s, and not vise-versa.

“Koyann (Steve Ellis), who fabricated the fake “Australian” certificate, didn’t take the time to replacte the crest, instead he cropped the upper part of the template, as you can see: the words “South Australia” are cut in half. It’s clear that he used the Kenya image as template and not the other way around. The typed letters are not distorted by the paper creases as they should.”

…

It’s looking a lot more like the so called “Aussie” version is a fake.

For one thing, the folds between the Kenyan doc and the Aussie doc are different not only in number but also where they are located on the documents.

Furthermore:

1) The referring page: http://www.bomford.net/worcestershire/images/DavidJeffreyBomfordBirthCertDoc65.jpg has been taken down. As hashttp://www.bomford.net/worcestershire (earlier tonight, it had a message on it saying the bomford b.c. had been taken down.

Look at that bomford version. Zoom in and look at the lettering on the doc where the folds are. There seems to be no distortion at all (especially the bottom portion). In other words, the letters “float” over the folds. Discussion found here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/ … =1019#1019

Information on the guy who reportedly forged the Aussie version: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2307402/posts?page=1019#1019

Update: Where did that Australian Birth Registration image come from?:

Mr. Bomford verifies his birth certificate:

http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2008/s2646009.htm

Update: And yet another commenter wrote this:

I’ve found lists of participants at 2 international conferences, one hosted by the UN, in which a Richard Bomford attended with a Richard Bamford email address, as someone working for the Aussie Governent, Regional Unit for the Environment, in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

Richard Bomford is listed as the domain holder for Bomford.net where this David Jeffrey Bomford Certification of Registration was found.

The problem is that Richard Bamford was just involved in a massive fraud case adjudicated in Australian on July 10th of this year.

Bamford seems to go by the name Bomford.

Also GIM International lists Richard Bomford as a GIS expert. It is my understanding that GIS information experts have software to produce maps and edit images of such quality, that forging a BC would be child’s play.

So the Bomford could be the fake; as its provenance is in doubt.

As far as I know, date stamps on images can also be faked. So that proves nothing. So can lead codes and other identifying facts.

There are a number of inconsistencies in the Bomford and Kenyan BCs. On the Bomford there is no tilting of the typed line at the bottom of the page, on the Kenyan there is. Only an expert could avoid the tilting problem when typing on the final inch of a single page of paper. Yet the Bomford has raised capitals, which often occur when typing fast on a typewritter and not fully depressing the capital shift key. The Kenyan does not have this problem.

The currency in Kenya was shillings. “d” in English currency means pence or cents. The Aussie has a seal different from the crest; the Kenyan seal is indiscernable. Both have the capital O instead of the zero for the number Zero and the capital O. Both seem to use the same typewriter font. Its a 25 years not a 26, because the loop for the 5 is larger not small and squat like the six.

etc etc. etc..

Update: Dr. Orly Taitz posted the following on her blog:

Debunking Obama’s thugs in the media

Recently Obama’s thugs in main stream media came up with this Bomford report in order to stop my efforts in exposing and prosecuting Obama. Though typically I don’t have time to waste on each and every dumb obot, since it got to National TV and my children”s friends called my children, I’ll spend a few minutes to debunk the obots:

1. Kenya became an independant country in 1963, not 1964. The seal of Kenya was correct.

2. More then one person had certified copies of this document.

3. the document was not issued at birth, but rather was a certified copy obatained in1964, when Kenya became independent

4. The documents from that time would not show Zanzibar, but rather Kenya

5. Bomford report was created to try to discredit my efforts

6.lastly, I am not supposed to waste my time and money on this issue, Obama us the one who is supposed to provide evidence of legitimacy

7. Kenyan BC provides more info than the piece of garbage Obama posted on the n et, which doesn’t have the name of the hospital, name of the doctor or signatures.

8. Chioumi Fukino and Obama and all their Nazi Brown Shirts in the main stream media need to give it a rest and provide an original hospital BC and the corresponding big thick hospital Birthing file from the Kapiolani hospital. If they don’t have such a file, all of them need to resign immediately or they will be prosecuted for massive fraud and treason to this Nation. (in case you didn’t know, treason carries punishment of life in prison or death penalty).

Update: WorldNetDaily’s Jerome Corsi was on G. Gorden Liddy’s radio show en route to verifying the Kenyan document’s authenticity (via MediaMatters via OilForImmigration):

Update: More from FreeRepublic.com:

David Wiegel is a regular poster at the Politijab Forum. Many of you who have been keeping current know about the now banned “Koyaan” who’s blog can be found here. Koyaan is also a regular poster of the Politijab forum.

The source of the Australian document on FreeRepublic was from Koyaan. Politijab is an astroturf site according to Alexa. Please view their stats. Their main external links according to Alexa are four as follows:

You can draw your own conclusions, however a betting man would find favorable odds that a one “David Weigel” is part of the fraud campaign.

You can draw your own conclusions on which one is “definitely” a fake:

The original posted Kenyan:

Or the Australian that appeared out of thin air.

Update: David Weigel of the Washington Independent specifically cited this posting in his latest commentary in refuting the above FReeper comment (thanks, Mr. Weigel, for the honorable mention!):

This thread at the Right Side of Life, keying off of a FreeRepublic.com thread, is actually a pretty useful look at the way facts bounce off of the “birther” community like so many eggs off of a Humvee.

David Wiegel (sic) is a regular poster at the Politijab Forum.

Actually, no: I joined the site in order to read the threads at that superlative Web forum for “birther”-debunkers. I’ve never posted a comment there.

The rest of the argument posits that “Politijab is an astroturf site” because its inbound links come from AOL News, Daily Kos, Topix, and Democratic Underground. How that proves that the site is astroturf, I have no earthly idea.

You can draw your own conclusions, however a betting man would find favorable odds that a one “David Weigel” is part of the fraud campaign.

The “fraud campaign” is a new conspiracy theory, which argues that David Bomford’s birth certificate (used to forge the infamous “Kenyan birth certificate”) is itself a forgery, despite David Bomford’s acknowledgment that it’s real, and despite the failure of anyone responsible for the “Kenyan” certificate to come forward. One more reason to doubt that even the release of every Obama record would please the birthers; with the Bomford certificate, they have a genuine document that predates this conspiracy theory, and their forums are abuzz with “proof” of how it’s forged.

In reality, sites like mine are instead pointing out that we’re dealing with images, not documents, per se, so there’s lots of room for malfeasance to occur until such time as actual documents can be obtained for independent verification.

Also, Mr. Weigel, you’re operating under a leading conclusion with no basis in fact that a full release of Mr. Obama’s background documentation would not satisfy those of us who are questioning his presidential eligibility, and my site is full of evidence to support my notion.

Update: Previously frequent commenter on my site “Koyann” similarly responds to the above FReeper allegations:

By the way, I like that the person claims that I didn’t have time to replicate the crest, and instead cropped the upper part of the template, but yet somehow I had found the time to add a whole new section to the Bomford certificate that doesn’t exist on the Kenya certificate.

On the Bomford certificate, there’s a section titled “Name and Description of Authorized Person, and Name, Description and Residence of Informant” that appears just below the “Signature, Description and Residence of Informant” section.

There is no corresponding section in the Kenya certificate.

Funny, that.

Now, if I were to have created the “fake” Bomford certificate based on the “genuine” Kenya certificate, ostensibly for the purpose of trying to discredit the “genuine” Kenya certificate by misleading people to believe that the “genuine” Kenya certificate was modeled after the “fake” Bomford certificate, why on earth would I go adding something to it that doesn’t appear in the Kenya certificate?

C’mon, Phil. Give your ol’ buddy Koyaan a little more credit than that.

Update: WorldNetDaily points out the following responses from the ObamaNotQualified site:

1. It was dated Feb 14, 1964 and had the designation Republic of Kenya. However that designation was not official until December 1964.

That does not mean that the documents prior to then were not marked Republic as it would be common for a state after recently declaring it’s independence to act independently rather than continue under old rule.

Kenya declared its Independence from Great Britain in 1963 and evidently started to call itself “The Republic of Kenya”…

unless the writer of this newspaper article from 1963 was a prophet and called it “Republic of Kenya” before Kenya came up with that.
Newspaper article from 1963 journalist refers to Kenyan as a Republic.

2. It’s number 44 O 47 is a bit coincidental with 44th President Obama 47th President

The # appears to read 44,047. Look at the “O” in “MOMBASSA” on the same line, it is a different character than the “0″.

NOTE: Senator Obama was the Rep. for the zip code 60606, so does that make him a Hoax? or “the Antichrist“?

3. The name EF Lavender. Earth Friendly Lavender is a detergent.

Also the name of a flowering plant. Lavender is also a SURNAME!

4. Mombasa did not become part of Kenya until 1963. It used to be part of Zanzibar

The document was made in 1964, so pointless to mention.

…

9. Obama’s father’s village would be nearer to Nairobi, not Mombasa.

Mombassa, a coastal trading center, would have better facilities than Nairobi where Obama Sr. probably had little or no ties.
10. The place was called the “Central Nyanza District,” not Nyanza Province. The regions were changed to provinces in 1970.

There were districts, provinces and finally regions. There is a lot written about provinces before 61…after 63 regions also were delineated. Provinces and districts are 2 different things. Provinces in Kenya are made up of many districts. This is more like what County is to a State in USA. …

WND Editor and CEO Joseph Farah promises that the Kenyan Birth Registration image wasn’t the “big story” he promised on his Twitter account:

The big story I promised you last week on eligibility issue was NOT the Kenyan birth document. I didn’t even know about that last week.

It’s still coming — maybe tomorrow
