ANALYSIS OF IMAGE POSTED ON THE WEB ON APRIL 27, 2011
by John F. Sweeney, ©2011
On April 27, 2011, the White House and Obama proclaimed this a "certified copy" of his original long-form birth certificate from Hawaii. Many examiners are coming forward declaring it a blatant forgery.
(Apr. 30, 2011) — In March 2010, The Post & Email published Mr. Sweeney’s analysis of the Certification of Live Birth image posted on the internet in June 2008 purported to be Obama’s “birth certificate.” The form taken from the White House blog is shown in black and white rather than the green background with black letters originally released at The Daily KOS, followed by other websites such as Politifact and Factcheck.org.
Here Mr. Sweeney shares his findings regarding the image published by the White House on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 “long-form birth certificate” containing more detail than the first document. However, no paper document has been made available to the public, despite the appearance of a letter from Hawaii Department of Health Director Loretta J. Fuddy stating that two “certified” paper copies were provided to Obama’s attorney, Judith Corley, on Tuesday, April 26.
The White House blog echoed the talking points which Obama had mentioned in his press conference on Wednesday, insisting that the short-form document issued in 2008 “is the birth certificate.” Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer described Obama’s failure to release his long-form birth certificate as a “fake issue.”
The alleged long-form birth certificate can be found at the White House blog here.
Mr. Sweeney’s work follows.
Layers
The released document contains multiple images within the PDF file. Using various Adobe products these layers are simple to detect. Using Adobe Standard Version 9 the layers can be broken out by going to a) Advanced b) Document Processing c) Export All Images. When this is done 3 jpg images will be created. It appears the creators did not ‘flatten’ the image before posting it. The ‘flattened’ image would have no layers.
A true scan creates a single image and single ‘layer’. There would be no reason that the process would automatically break apart the image into chucks. Especially into the elements that are present. There are claims of this being from an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process at the time of the scan. These are beyond ridicules. First – why would it be processed via OCR? There was no need or reason to? Second, OCR would not ‘break apart’ the images like this. OCR looks through an image looking for possible characters that map to ASCII characters and they attempts to convert them. But it does this one character at a time for the overall document.
Image problems
At least three major elements show up that are obvious red flags:
1) The bend in the certificate image on the left side. Any certified copy of a Hawaii LFBC created recently does not have this ‘left side bend’. This phenomena seems to from when certified copies where made from actual photos of an actual document. Modern creations show this image as very flat oriented. Likely because they are stored in a digital document library and were scanned on flatbed scanner individually. The Nordyke Twins (born the day after Obama) certified copies are well known. These certified copies are well known. These DO have the left side bend in them. Certified copies made in the 2000s – do not.
2) The X’s in the boxes on 2 of the lines in the Obama LFBC are completely misaligned from the rest of the type on the same line. No other LFBC certified copies show these phenomena. None. The known authentic LFBCs show the X lined up with the text on the same line – as you expect when someone uses a manual typewriter.
3) The centered vs. left tab alignment. The Obama LFBC has text centered in the form fields. But comparison to known real images of LFBCs from that period clearly show that mechanical typewriter was used and aligned the text via mechanical tabs. The Obama form is the only one known to show centered text – an all but impossible feat to do with mechanical typewriters in 1961.
There are other signs of forgery but these are the ones that are easy explain to people who are not graphics designers and do not deal with digital images every day.
1) The Layers
Registrar Alvin T. Onaka's Stamp
2) The Left Bend
The Out-of-Alignment X’s
The Centered Fields vs. Typewriter Tabs
Update, May 1, 2011, from Mr. Sweeney:
Many, many people have looked at this image posted by the Administration. The evidence of image manipulation is clear and deserves a response. The best response would be for the actual document, along with a representative from the State of Hawaii, to be made available for detailed inspection of the document and questioning of its history and background. Nothing else at this point could possibly stop the firestorm that this Administration has released since Wednesday. At this point only the physical authentic document and a person to explain the questions is an acceptable response.

We Americans are indeed ingenious, “Crime Does Not Pay” once again proves to be true in this case.
I’m anxious to hear more about this incredible story in the coming days.
If you look at the 4-27-2011 BC, you will see also for the time of birth that the capital “M” is half the height of the capital “P”. Isn’t this an obvious sign that two different keyboards were used in that box? That would certainly indicate “layering.” Also, the name of the purported hospital does not have an apostrophe between the first “i” and the “o’! That name is the name of Hawaii’s queen: Kapi’olani. If a clerk had typed that name and had left out the apostrophe, that would have been considered a disgrace to the Queen’s name! No self-respecting Hawaiian would have done that! Look at any detailed map of Hawaii, and you will see many Hawaiian towns with an apostrophe in them!
I can cite many other blatant falsities on the White House document. Here are just two of them: (1) The name of the hospital was the one shown on the BC; it would be either the Kapi‘olani Maternity Home or Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital, who merged together in 1978 to become the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children. The data page for the new hospital name is shown at its info page of
http://www.kapiolani.org/women-and-children/about-us/default.aspx
(2) The residential address given is not that of either one of Obama Junior’s parents, nor even that of Stanley Ann’s mother. Residents of 6075 Kalalanaole Highway state that the residents at the 6085 address in 1961 were university professor Orland Scott Lufforce and his wife, Thelma Young. Obama Senior’s address at that time was 625 11th Avenue in Kaimuki, which is within walking distance from the University of Hawaii, where he was attending.
I do not want to make this personal, but each of the four statements in the above post requires a correction.
1) After “7:24 P.”, the tiny “M.” was pre-printed on the form, not typed.
2) The pre-accented “`o” in “Kapi`olani” could not be rendered on a typewriter. The Nordyke twins’ BC’s spelled “Kapiolani” with neither a pre-accent nor an apostrophe.
3) The Nordyke twins’ authentic BC’s called the birth hospital, “Kapiolani Gynecological and Maternity Hospital,” as did this purported BC.
4) Univ. of Hawaii professor Orland Scott Lefforge and his wife, Thelma Young, sublet living quarters at their residence at 6085 Kalanianaʻole Highway to Stanley Armour and Madelyn Payne Dunham. Barrack Hussain Obama, Snr., never lived there. If indeed Mrs. Dunham registered a non-hospital birth at the HI DOH, she wrote that address, her own address, as the mother’s address. I do not know where Anna Dunham Obama was living around the time of her son’s birth; it appears that even her mother didn’t know. However, eleven days later, on Aug 15, 1961, she moved from wherever to Seattle, where she attended the Univ. of Washington until Obama, Snr., left Hawaii in June of 1962. That established separation as required for her subsequent divorce of Obama, Snr..
I hope that helps with those minor details.

An extensive internet search [using both for-profit and non-profit sources/entities] for every combination @ U-K-E-L-E-E reveals there is no prevalent current or past use as a nme by an individual-family? A musical instrument = yes. A persons name = NO. At minimum, it is odd that such a child-like signature would appear on such an important government record by an official government employee? A verification of the name/person U-K-E-L-E-E should be done.
I have the layered pdf and I believe this how it was produced:
1) A PAPER COPY/XEROX (evidenced by the page curl’s “negative black area”) OF A COLB ONLY (possibly Obama’s) was scanned into Photoshop.
2) This COLB scan was then altered in Photoshop (I haven’t established to what extent yet, but it’s clear there were alterations made (NOTE: THESE ALTERATIONS WERE MADE USING “LAYERS” IN PHOTOSHOP) A few alteration examples are: Obama’s mom signed COLB, but only as “Ann Dunham”. Someone at the hospital added “(Stanley)” just to keep things accurate. Just this year, “unham Obama” was added on top of her existing signature (obviously with a fatter pen tip) which explains why this particular element appears as a separate layer when the pdf is analysed or opened in Illustrator. This was done to keep the “happy married family” lie alive and as such, is a forgery. The serial number at the top of COLB (#61-10641) was originally Virginia Sunahara’s # but she was born and died within 24 hrs. (Aug 4-5) and HER number was assigned to Obama’s COLB. This explains why his number is out of sequence with the Nordyke twins (#37 & 38)..
3) A blank MASTER DOCUMENT was opened in InDesign, Illustrator, or most any other DTP program.
4) Placed into this master document was a scan of the green “blank security paper” background.
5) In this master document the altered COLB scan was then placed on top of the blank security paper background (It’s unlikely any COLB alterations took place at this point because of ease of alteration during step 2).
6) The “birth-certificate-long-form.pdf” was then exported from the master document.
Note: Pixel irregularities within the same COLB are suspect (Ann’s full name, comparison of signatures, etc.). There are layers in the pdf which, when opened in Illustrator imply the use of layers in the master document or in any step prior to export as pdf. These observations don’t take into account other unexplainables such as COLB Serial # comparisons of Obama vs. Nordyke twins, etc.)
There are variants of Obama’s most recent COLB; A blue one and a green one. The blue one was the first of the two recent COLB versions and it contains description information, quoted as follows: “This handout image provided by the White House shows a copy of the long form of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)” J. Scott Applewhite’s name appears elsewhere embedded in the blue version pdf, including “Artist: J. Scott Applewhite”
very good point. call and write congressman?
C. K. L. Lee was a Honolulu Co. Registrar, as noted on other documents from that time.
Compare Obummers birth certificateto the Nordyke twins, not side by side, but in an overlay. Pretty much a lot of O’ is ripped off from a combination of places on the twins bc.
For instance, those hand written #’s going down the side , on O’ it’s 2-9-9-1 match up PERFECTLY (and I mean they are right on top of each other!) with the numbers on bc 37 which are 2-1-1-1, that’s impossible, but there it is. Someone just turned those nice little ones into 9′s……
Time of birth is in the exact same position of bc 38
The X’s on 7e and & 7g line up perfectly.
The twins bc’s don’t line up at all with each other which is what you would expect from someone typing in info. So how do O’s X’s get in the exact same spot a little above the box?
There is inconsistency on the typewriters type on O’s………………..
I’ve often wondered why no one has written to the Kenyan government requesting a copy of the BC in Mombasa, or have they and I missed it? Someone really should! Pretend it’s a given that he was born there and just ask for a certified copy of it, for prosterity or whatever you call it. lol Key here is to pretend that you LOVE him (gag) and would love to have a copy of his “beloved” (again, gag) Birth record in Mombasa. Wouldn’t hurt anything. All they can do is say no or send you a cert. copy. Anyone willing??
————————-
Mrs. Rondeau replies: Dr. Jerome Corsi traveled to Kenya and was denied access to the hospital. He was subsequently arrested, roughed up, denied food, and spent a long time in the hospital afterward. Others were told that all birth records between 1961 and 1964 or so were removed from the hospital and sent to the U.K. I also remember reading that one hospital official had reportedly confided to Rev. McRae that it was a state secret that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya. Disclaimer: I have no proof of any of the foregoing, but there are numerous news reports stating such.
Read his book, “Where’s the Birth Certificate.”
Never mind the birth certificate.
Where’s the U.S. citizen father?
