THE OBAMA BIRTH

CERTIFICATE HOAX
Email This Page To A Friend

What Really Happened

The internet is still being spammed with emails trying to claim that Barack Obama is not a natural
born citizen and therefore ineligible to be President.

I think that the reason so many people are starting to buy in this is a reflection in the total
disappointment many people who supported Obama are feeling as he fails everyone of his
campaign promises and seems intent on being Bush-light. Currently Obama's polls are in Bush
country!

Currently, there are two new birth certificates in play, both claiming to prove that Obama was
born in Kenya.

The above is already acknowledged to be a fake, mostly because genuine birth certificates from
the colony of Kenya included the baby's footprint on them.

The latest "proof" is the following birth certificate.

The above purports to be a 1964 certified copy of the original 1961 birth certificate. Whether
Kenya would spend the resources to recopy all the British birth certificates is open to doubt, but
there are two other aspects of this certificate which call its authenticity into doubt.

Let us take a closer look at the document.

Note that the document number is given as 47,044. Obama is a 47 year old chief executive and
44th president of the United States. A rather amazing coincidence.

But the really damning part of the document is this. The location of birth is given as Mombasa. But
Mombasa was part of the state of Zanzibar until December of 1963. This certificate is dated
February 1964 and carries the name "Republic of Kenya", Kenya did not formally declare itself a
Republic until December of 1964.

EF Lavender (the name given as Registrar) is a laundry detergent.

The certificate uses the label "Christian name" in a nation that is predominantly Muslim.

There were no "provinces" in Kenya until 1970. Prior to that they were called "Districts".

Obama's father would have been either 24 or maybe 25 when Obama was born. The certificate
gives his age as 26.

BREAKING! ORIGINAL TEMPLATE DOCUMENT FOR THE FAKE

IS FOUND!

The above is a certified copy of birth registration from Australia! This appears to be the same
document as used for the purported Kenyan Birth Certificate, and while British colonies might be
expected to use identical forms, Kenya was independent in 1964 and not likely to be using British
regulatory paperwork.

Obama is a rather amazing man to have so many birth certificates!

The hoaxers have claimed that this certificate provided by the Obama campaign is a fake, but
have yet to produce any evidence to back that claim up. Their approach, straight out of the
Napoleonic code, is to make continual accusations and demand that the accused prove their
innocence. They hope that simply by repeating a claim often enough, useful idiots will come to
believe it. But here in the United States, we follow the principle that the ACCUSER must prove the
accused guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt. What that means is that when the Swift-Boaters
accuse Barack Obama of fraud, it is they who are required to provide proof beyond a reasonable
doubt. Otherwise, we as citizens are obligated to ignore such baseless accusations, and certainly
refuse to forward them along to everyone in our mailing lists (as these spammed emails always
insist we must do).

There is more evidence that backs up the Birth Certificate. Hawaii has two major newspapers, the
Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin. BOTH newspapers include birth announcements, and
pages found in the archives of BOTH newspapers record the August 4th, 1961 birth of Barack
Obama.

Now, McCain's (Rove's) useful idiots will scream that these are also fakes; that they are part of
this grand conspiracy by Obama's parents to smuggle a newborn baby from Kenya into Honolulu
to obtain a birth certificate and birth announcements. But what is lacking in their story is MOTIVE.
It's not like Obama's parents knew back then that Barack would go into politics, and needed to be
"Natural Born." Why bother with such a deception, which includes a very risky flight half way
around the world with a newborn baby.

Finally, the Swift-Boaters hoisted with their own petard with a story carried by World Net Daily,
that included the claim "WND has learned that Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the
candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's Department of Health to make
sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances."

This prompted the following statement from the office of Governor Lingle.

Aloha,

Thank you for emailing Governor Linda Lingle's office. A recent article in
WorldNetDaily.com (October 26, 2008) claiming that Hawai‘i Governor Linda
Lingle sealed Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate is false.

Under Hawai‘i's state law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18), copies of vital
records may only be released to those who have a tangible relationship to the
person whose record is being sought. Neither the Governor's office, nor any
other office in the State of Hawai'i, can provide information concerning birth
certificates, or produce birth certificates, to anyone except those who are
listed in the law governing vital statistics records.

Vital statistics records, such as birth certificates, are protected by strict

confidentiality requirements. Specifically, pursuant to section 338-18, Hawai‘i
Revised Statutes (HRS), the Department of Health, which maintains these
records, may not allow the inspection of a birth certificate, or issue a certified
copy of a birth certificate, or disclose any information contained in a birth
certificate, unless it is satisfied that the applicant has a direct and tangible
interest in the record:

(a) To protect the integrity of vital statistics records, to ensure their proper
use, and to ensure the efficient and proper administration of the vital statistics
system, it shall be unlawful for any person to permit inspection of, or to
disclose information contained in vital statistics records, or to copy or issue a
copy of all or part of any such record, except as authorized by this part or by
rules adopted by the department of health.

(b) The department shall not permit inspection of public health statistics
records, or issue a certified copy of any such record or part thereof, unless it is
satisfied that the applicant has a direct and tangible interest in the record.
The following persons shall be considered to have a direct and tangible
interest in a public health statistics record:

(1) The registrant;

(2) The spouse of the registrant;

 (3) A parent of the registrant;

(4) A descendant of the registrant;

(5) A person having a common ancestor with the registrant;

(6) A legal guardian of the registrant;

(7) A person or agency acting on behalf of the registrant;

(8) A personal representative of the registrant's estate;

(9) A person whose right to inspect or obtain a certified copy of the record is
established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(10) Adoptive parents who have filed a petition for adoption and who need to
determine the death of one or more of the prospective adopted child's natural
or legal parents;

(11) A person who needs to determine the marital status of a former spouse
in order to determine the payment of alimony;

(12) A person who needs to determine the death of a nonrelated co-owner of

property purchased under a joint tenancy agreement; and

(13) A person who needs a death certificate for the determination of

payments under a credit insurance policy.

Mahalo,

Office of Governor Lingle

Governor Lingle's office then followed up with ...

"The state registrar of the Department of Health's vital statistics

record office can verify Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate."

It should be pointed out that contrary to the claims made in some of the spammed emails,
Governor Linda Lingle is a REPUBLICAN, not a Democrat. It is difficult to imagine Lingle protecting
Obama to the detriment of her own party's candidate.

There is, in short, no evidence to support these allegations, and ample evidence to cast doubt on
their veracity.

If there were anything to this claim that Obama is not legally entitled to be President, don't you
think Hillary would have used it to win the nomination, or John McCain to win the election, of Joe
Biden even now to become President?

So, why all the fuss?

Well, for one thing the government and the corporate media are desperate to wreck the
credibility of the blogs and alternative media. Therefore, this birth certificate story appears to be
is a propaganda operation intended to lure unsuspecting blogs and radio hosts into committing to
it, only to have Obama then produce whatever correct documents will prove him a natural-born
US citizen. The Kenya birth certificates will be admitted as fakes by their creators, and the
corporate media will have a field day bashing the blogs and radio shows that fell for the hoax.
