Affidavit of Douglas Vogt

Douglas Vogt is invoking 28 U.S.C. §1746, states that the matters stated herein are true

under penalty of perjury:

Credentials of Douglas Vogt

1 I received my bachelors of Science degree from California State University at Northridge

CA in Business Administration. I was an accountant in Los Angeles and Seattle until I went into

business owning a typesetting company (Nova Typesetting) for eleven years, and had extensive

knowledge and experience in type, typesetting, form design, book and science journals including

math books. I currently own Archive Index Systems, Inc. since 1994, a company that sells

document scanners, wide format scanner, document imaging software and multi function

printers. I have extensive knowledge of how scanners function, their capabilities, and the

software that comes with them. My company also developed and sold document imaging

software as well as other imaging and scanning programs. I have sold and installed document

imaging systems in city and county governments, and thus have knowledge of municipal and

county document imaging programs and procedures, including the design and implementation of

such programs. Additionally, I have a working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat.

These factors will be crucial in understanding what has occurred with Obama’s Certificate of

Live Birth and other forgeries Paul and I had discovered.

2 I am also a science writer and a member of the Geological Society of America. I have

written three science books, two of which are philosophy of science books.

The First Mistake the Registrar’s Stamp, first point of forgery

3 On or shortly before June 12, 2008 the Obama administration released to the media a

1
Certification of Live Birth (the short form also known as an abstract) (Exhibit 1) we assume

from the Hawaiian Department of Health with Alvin Onaka’s registrar’s stamp on it dated June 9,

2007 (Figure 1). His registrar stamp on this document is forgery for four reasons. I have

examples of legitimate Onaka Registrar stamps Figure 2 and they are created with a metal

embossing stamp that recesses the type. The machine that presses the stamp applies even

pressure the length of the stamp and the inking is created by a carbon ribbon. There is no

physical reason Onaka’s registrar stamp should be darker on the right side than the left side. The

other reason is the words “is a” should not be so much lighter than the rest of the words on the

three lines for the same reason. This registrar’s stamp looks like it was created with a self-inking

or rubber stamp and not a metal embossing stamp. The third reason is the baseline of the three

lines of type does not match the last line “State Registrar” which is almost unreadable. Those two

words slope up 1.2-degrees. It should be perfectly parallel to the other typed lines. And the fourth

reason is that the two words “State Registrar” are not all the same typeface. I copied the first “S”

and moved it to the last next to the “R” and you can see that they are not the same sizes by one

point. That is impossible on a metal embossing stamp. The difference in the baseline differences

if 1.2-degrees is not going to happen with professionally made metal embossing stamps.

Figure 1: The Hawaiian forged Registrars’ embossed stamp on the back of Barack Obama’s short form

certification released June 2008.

Figure 2. Examples of legitimate Registrar stamps we received from the Hawaiian Department of Health.

4 The certificate number assigned to Mr. Obama’s Certificate was 10641. At that point Mr.

Obama and the Department of Health were committed to the data on that short form—right or

wrong. Next I will explain the procedures and legal significance of the certificate number and

how to tell if the certificate number is out of sequence thus indicating a possible forgery. Mr.

Obama’s short form certificate was out of sequence by 141-188 numbers.

5 Whoever did the data entry into the Department of Health’s database to create Mr.

Obama’s short-form certificate made a critical error that they could not fix because it was on the

certificate they already made public. They were stuck with it and had to cover it up at all costs.

The error they made was the date of the registrars’ acceptance or filing date of August 8, 1961.

The reason this is the mistake is because the conspirators had already decided on stealing a dead

baby’s certificate number who was born on August 4, 1961 but died the next day. I believe her

name was Virginia Sunahara and I believe her certificate number was stolen by the conspirators

and used by the forger on Mr. Barack Obama II certificate (violation of Title 18, Sec.
3
1028A(a)(1)). Her certificate number was one that should have a filing date of the 11th not the

8th, which will be explained in the next section.

6 The error must have been discovered within one week after releasing Obama’s short form

because the conspirators released Patricia DeCosta short form certificate (Figure 3) with a

certificate number off by 199 days in order to throw off any investigators. I was able to find the

origin of Mrs. DeCosta’s birth certificate. It was supposedly first put up on a genealogy web site

created by one of her daughters. She responded to my letter and told me that she thinks she put

up the certificate in June of 2008. One of the Obama supporters used that short form to prove

that Obama’s short form birth certificate was also legitimate. Their purpose was really to cast

doubt on the sequence of the certificate numbers. Patricia DeCosta, was born May 14, 1930 and

died November 30, 1963. There were only 10,803 births in 1930. Her certificate number was

10,259 which is a number that would have been issue around December 12, 1930 not May 27,

1930. Her Certificate number is off by about 199 days. I will explain why in the following

section on the laws for the certificate numbers. The Department of Health is the only one that can

issue the short form with the seal on it so they must have issued this one to confuse any

investigators regarding the sequence of the certificate numbers. Figure 4 shown the Registrar’s

seal on the back of the form that has the some of the same kind of errors on it as does the Obama

Short form. The baseline of the words “State Registrar” is sloped up .8-degrees, the left-hand

margin does not line up for all three lines of type and the different font sizes from the beginning

of the words “State Registrar” to the end is again one point different. All of these problems

would never occur on a legitimate Registrar Stamp.

Figure 3. Patricia DeCosta’s Short form Birth Certificate released also in June 2008. The certificate

number is out of sequence by 199 days.

Figure 4. Registrar’s stamp on the back of Patricia DeCosta’s short form certificate.

7 I will be showing more of these forged Registrar’s stamps on other birth certificates and

you may be wondering why a forger would include blatant errors in a Registrar’s stamp when all

they had to do was just scan and copy an existing legitimate stamp. I believe the only reason is

the person or persons at the Department of Health wanted to claim plausible deniability if the

forgeries were ever discovered. The only problem with that logic is that the Department of
5
Health (DOH) is the only place that someone would have access to the database of records to

match up dead babies so as to take their birth certificate numbers and assign them to various

forgeries. In addition these short forms also appear to have the official DOH round seal affix to

the documents and we will assume that only they have possession of that seal.

Proof Mr. Obama’s Registration date is wrong and had to have been registered on August 11,
1961. The second point of forgery
8 On July 28, 2009, Eleanor Nordyke proudly showed copies of the two Certificates of

Live Birth for her two daughters in the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper during an interview

(Figure 5). The sisters were born August 5, 1961, a day after Barack Obama II. Their names and

certificate numbers are Susan #10637 and Gretchen #10638 (Figure 6). Their State Registrar’s

acceptance and filling date was August 11, 1961. Barack Obama’s filling date was August 8 but

his certificate number is 10641, three digits more than Gretchen’s, which is impossible. The

certificate number 10641 belongs to someone whose filing and acceptance date was the same as

the Nordyke twins and processed just after theirs. Hawaii averaged 46.9 births per day up to

August 1961. The Obama Certificate number should have been 141 to 188 numbers less than the

Nordyke twins.

Figure 5, Mrs. Eleanor Nordyke proudly showing her twin daughters birth certificates in July 28 2009.

6
Figure 6. The Certificates of Live Birth for the Nordyke twins, filled August 11, 1961.

9 Further proof Mr. Obama’s Certificate number was stolen from someone else is the

unusual placement of two of the Bates certificate numbers 0 and 6. Figure 7 shows all three

Bates certificate numbers. You will notice that the 0 and 6 are slightly above the baseline of the

rest of the numbers. This happens with some Bates numbering machines when the number

wheels do not properly seat to the baseline. The 0 (thousands) and 6 (hundreds) wheels just did

not seat all the way down on the baseline. If Mr. Obama’s acceptance and filling date was truly

August 8 then the hundreds wheel would have shown a 4 or 5. Because the six hundreds wheel is

above the baseline like the Nordyke twins this proves that the certificate number 10641 was filed

and numbered three digits after Gretchen Nordyke and accepted by the State Registrar on the 11th

of August not the 8th and is proof the filing date on both of Mr. Obama’s short and long-form

certificates are forged and that the Hawaiian Department of Health is involved in the forgeries.

They have to be involved because they are the only ones who have access to the database that

could match up births and deaths and choose a dead baby’s certificate number to give to Mr.

Obama.
7
Figure 7. The three certificate numbers all with the raised “06” above the baseline. Mr. Obama’s Certificate

is 10641.

10 The first proof of forgery is the fact that the registration date cannot be August 8 but must

have been August 11, 1961 the same as the Nordyke twins. Stealing or forging a security feature

such as a certificate number is in violation of Title 18, Sect. 1028(d)(1) & (5)(A, B & C). Taking

another persons certificate number is in violation of Title 18, Ch 47, Sec. 1028A: Aggravated

identity theft. Including subsection (a)(1), (c)(2).

The Laws Regarding the Certificate Number proving Obama’s Certificate number is out of
sequence for a registration date of August 8, 1961. The Third point of forgery
11 The birth certificate number goes by several names depending on the state and the

Federal government. The most common names are “state file number” and “birth number.” I

knew the birth certificate number was of paramount importance in proving Mr. Obama’s birth

certificate was a forgery I went ahead and read all 50 states and the District of Columbia’s,

statutes and administrative code regarding the filing and acceptance of birth certificates. The

following is a summary of the Hawaiian laws:

12 Hawaii; PART I. STATE PUBLIC HEALTH STATISTICS ACT

§338-1 Definitions of terms. As used in this part unless the context otherwise indicates:

“Public health statistics” includes the registration, preparation, transcription, collection,

compilation, and preservation of data pertaining to births, adoptions, legitimation, deaths, fetal

deaths, morbidity, marital status, and data incidental thereto.

§338-5 Compulsory registration of births. Within the time prescribed by the department of

health, a certificate of every birth shall be substantially completed and filed with the local agent

of the department in the district in which the birth occurred, by the administrator or designated

representative of the birthing facility, or physician, or midwife, or other legally authorized person

8
in attendance at the birth; or if not so attended, by one of the parents.

§338-11 Form of certificates. The forms of certificates shall include as a minimum the items

required by the respective standard certificates as recommended by the Public Health Service,

National Center for Health Statistics, subject to approval of and modification by the

department of health….

13 Administrative code: Chapter 8, Vital Statistics Regulations and Records

Sec, 2 Time allowed for birth reporting. A certificate of every live birth shall be filled within 7

days from the date of occurrence.

Sec. 8. Transmittal of Certificates. Local registrars shall transmit certificates filed with them

weekly to the State Health Department, except that on the outlying islands …

Sec. 32. Registration Districts. Each County of the State shall constitute a vital statistics

registration district.

Chapter 3 Amendment of Vital Records

Sec. 3.1. Amendments After Official Acceptance of Certificate.

No amendments … shall be made on any birth, death . . . certificate after the assignment of a

state file number unless such amendments are fully documented according to the law and

regulations.…

Sec. 3.9 Method of Making Amendments to Vital Records.

B. A new birth certificate prepared following adoption, legitimation … shall contain the same …

birth number and filing date as on the original certificate…

14 I have included Table 1 which summarizes all the states and District of Columbia if they

mentioning the state file number was a consecutive number, if the Federal law or regulation is

mentioned and if they define the terms File, Filing and Registration in the state laws or

9
regulations. The results of my research are the following: Forty-one of the states mention the

state file number directly by one of the other names states may give it.

15 Sixteen of the states specifically mention that the certificate number is a sequential

number and starts with the number one at the beginning of the year. This mirrors the same

language in the Federal regulations including Hawaii.

Fourteen of the States specifically mention that their laws are in accordance with the Federal

laws and regulations.

16 Forty-nine of the states and DC define the terms File, Filing and Registration as meaning

the same thing the Federal regulations state and many of them repeat it verbatim. The Model

State Vital Statistics Act and Regulations of 1977 and 1992 defines the terms as such:

Section 1. Definitions:

(c) “File” means the presentation and acceptance of a vital record or report provided for in this

Act for registration by the (Office of Vital Statistics [the state department of health]).

(d) “Filing, date of” means the date a vital record is accepted for registration by the (Office of

Vital Statistics).

(j) “Registration” means the acceptance by the (Office of Vital Statistics) and the incorporation

of vital records provided for in this Act into its official records.

17 That means the act of filing and registration happens at one time the same day by the

State Registrar or deputy Registrar. They will check the form for completeness and then accept it

by dating, signing and numbering the Certificate of Live Birth. That process is called filing and

registration. This irrefutably means that the date of acceptance by the State Registrar correlates to

the certificate number because it is a sequential number starting with the number one at 12:01

a.m. on January 1st. If you know the average number of birth per day in a state, you can calculate

within a few hundred numbers or less what the number should be just by knowing the Registrar’s

date of acceptance, and in reverse if you know the certificate number you can figure out within a

10
few days when the State Registrar should have registered the certificate. Table 2 shows 15 of the

good birth certificates I acquired and Barack Obama’s forged certificate.

Table 2. Fifteen good Certificates of Live Birth from Hawaii with good certificate numbers corresponding

with the date of filing.

11
Table 1: A list of the states who mention the certificate number and other pertinent facts. The 1 represents

a “Yes” answer.

The Certificate number and the State of Hawaii, the third point of forgery.
18 Hawaii has used the standard numbering format certainly since 1930 because Patricia

12
DeCosta’s birth certificate was issued that year and it used the standard format. Each state

registrar is responsible to record and maintain all the certificates the registrar certifies. As

mentioned before one of the file processing items is the certificate number (Birth Edit

Specifications for the 2003 Revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Birth, 3/18/2005). There

is a standard procedure the registrar goes through in the process called “filing.” By Hawaiian

state law a birth must be reported to the State registrar no later than seven days after birth. When

a birth certificate comes in from a hospital or clinic, the registrar much check that there are no

cross outs, all the fields have been filled out, the mother and doctor have both signed and dated

the form using black indelible ink. The registrar then stamps the certificate with a date stamp and

then uses a Bates numbering machine to print the unique certificate number on the upper right

hand corner of the form. Finally the registrar signs the form. After 2005 all the states had to

implement a electronic document imaging system to enable rapid access to the certificates.

Hawaii started the imaging system in 2001. Hawaii has only one office that issues certified birth

certificates and that is the main state office in Honolulu and for that reason box 20 is for the local

registrar will always have the same date as box 22 for the state registrar. There are no local

registrars in Honolulu County, Hawaii.

19 Since 1929 all states and territories were incorporated in the system of recording births

and deaths. All state registrars use the same uniform numbering system. The original standard for

this number, before the year 2000, was an 11-digit number in a xxx xx xxxxxx format. The

number begins with a 3-digit birth area code number (Hawaii is 151) followed by a 2-digit year

of registration (the year of birth) and lastly a 6-digit serial registration number (assigned

sequentially to each birth as it is filed; Social Security Administration, POMS RM 10210.305,

Reviewing a Birth Certificate Birth Area Code). After 2000 it became obvious that the two year

digit had to be expanded to a full four digit year. Figure 8 shows a Bates numbering machine that

has the same type face as the one used by the Hawaiian Department of Health.

13
20 The Third point of forgery is the stolen Birth Certificate number being out of sequence.

Affidavit of Tim Adams of January 20 2011.

21 Mr. Tim Adams was a Senior Elections Clerk who worked for the City and County of

Honolulu Election Division from May 2008 to September 2008. I have included his sworn

affidavit in Exhibit 3, where he states the following:

That “Senior officers in the City and County of Honolulu Elections Division

told me on multiple occasions that no Hawaii long-form, hospital-generated birth

certificate existed for Senator Obama in the Hawaii Department of Health and there

was no record that any such document had ever been on file in the Hawaii

Department of Health or any other branch or department of the Hawaii government.”

That the same Senior officers “told me on multiple occasions that Hawaii

State government officials had made inquires about Sen. Obama's birth records to

officials at Queens Medical Center and Kapi’olani Medical Center in Honolulu and

that neither hospital had any record of Senator Obama having been born there …”

“… I came to understand that for political reasons, various officials in the

government of Hawaii, including then Governor Linda Lingle and various officials

of the Hawaii Department of Health, including Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the director of

the Hawaii Department of Health, were making representations that Senator Obama

14
 was born in Hawaii, even though no government official in Hawaii could find a

long-form birth certificate for Senator Obama that had been issued by a Hawaii

hospital at the time of his birth.”

“During the course of my employment, I was told by senior officers in the

City and County of Honolulu Elections Division to stop inquiring about Senator

Obama's Hawaii birth records, even though it was common knowledge among my

fellow employees that no Hawaii long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate

existed for Senator Obama.”

22 As stated in Tim Adams affidavit, the previous Director of the Department of Health, Dr.

Chiyome Fukino, (Exhibits 4 and 5) made two public releases. One on October 31, 2008 and the

other on July 27, 2009. On the first she states: “Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of

Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics … have personally seen and verified that the

Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in

accordance with state policies and procedures.” These statements are in spite of the claim by Tim

Adams that there was no evidence that a Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) ever existed in the

Department of Health or in any Hawaiian hospital. It appears that a political decision was made

in Hawaii to cover up the truth and fabricate whatever was necessary to permit Senator Obama to

qualify to run for President. They willfully let a foreign agent become President of the United

States.

The Problems for Senator Obama getting on the Hawaiian ballot in 2008.

23 As late as August 2008, two months before the election, the chairman of the Hawaiian

Democratic Party, Brian Schatz, refused to sign and confirm the constitutional eligibility, using

the correct legally required wording in the sworn Official Certification of Nomination (OCON)

affirming that Senator Obama was qualified to serve as President under the provisions of the

15
Constitution. There was no evidence that form was filled with the Elections Board by August 27

or September 5 so the Elections Office could not put Senator Obama on the Hawaiian ballot.

What happened was the National Democratic Party, headed by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi,

submitted two different worded OCONs to the Hawaiian Election Board to get Senator Obama

on the Hawaiian ballot in time for the November election (Figure 9). The reason Schatz did not

sign it is because the Obama Champaign could not produce real proof of citizenship necessary to

be on the ballot. Keep in mind that Senator Obama’s campaign had already released the short

form birth certificate on June 12 2008, just a few months before, then why didn’t Mr. Schatz

accept the short form as proof of citizenship? I believe it is because what Senior Elections Clerk

Mr. Tim Adams swore on his affidavit, namely that there was no legal birth certificate from the

State of Hawaii, and that meant Senator Obama was born outside of the United States. It is most

likely that Mr. Schatz also knew that Senator Obama was not born in Hawaii and therefore not a

US citizen at all. The party certification then fell to the national chairperson of the Democratic

Party, Congresswoman Pelosi, to certify Senator Obama or else he would never have appeared

on the Hawaiian ballot.

The April 27, 2011 News Conferences and Plausible Deniability.

24 There were two news conferences that took place on April 27, 2011. The first was a news

conference for the press started at 8:48 a.m., about one and a half hours before President Obama

gave his news conference. The first news conference was conducted by Press Secretary Mr. Jay

Carney, the President’s White House Counsel Mr. Robert Bauer and the President’s Director of

Communications Mr. Daniel Pfeiffer. The news conference established the chain of custody for

the two Obama Certificates of Live Birth supposedly acquired, in person, at the Hawaii

Department of Health office by Judith Corley the President’s personal counsel at Perkins Coie,

Seattle, Washington. It did not establish the chain of custody for the PDF birth certificate that

17
was later put up on the White House web site some time that morning. I do not know who

created the PDF version, where it came from and who put it on the web site. Both points are very

important in this case and the analysis I performed.

The Chain of Custody for the Reporters Copy

25 It was very important for our investigation to establish the chain of custody for the high

resolution reporters’ copy I acquired from 12newsnow.com, an ABC affiliate, who attended that

news conference (Figure 10). The following is that chain of custody. The following are direct

quoted from the 8:48 a.m. news conference (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-

office/2011/04/27/press-gaggle-press-secretary-jay-carney-4272011). I will quote excerpts from

the transcript of that news conference that established the chain of custody.

Figure 10. The 12news web page that had the link to the high resolution scan of the reporters handed out

on April 27, 2011.

26 Robert Bauer, a former attorney at Perkins Coie, stated that a letter (Exhibit 6) was

18
addressed to the Director of Health, Loretta Fuddy on April 22, 2011 to request the Department

to release two certified copies of Barack Obamas COLB and they were to be given to his

attorney Ms. Judith Corley of Perkins Coie. The White House letter was electronically sent to the

office of Perkins Coie (Exhibit 7), where Ms. Corley added a cover letter explaining she would

personally go to Hawaii and pick up the two certified copies and bring them back to Washington

DC. The following established the chain of custody:

MR. CARNEY: Good morning, everybody. You can read the paperwork we just handed

out in a minute. Let me just get started. Thank you for coming this morning. I have with

me today Dan Pfeiffer, the President’s Director of Communications, as well as Bob

Bauer, the President’s White House Counsel, who will have a few things to say about the

documents we handed to you today. And then we'll take your questions. I remind you this

is off camera and only pen and pad, not for audio. And I give you Dan Pfeiffer.

MR. PFEIFFER: Thanks, Jay. What you have in front of you now is a packet of papers

that includes the President’s long-form birth certificate from the state of Hawaii, the

original birth certificate that the President requested and we posted online in 2008, and

then the correspondence between the President’s counsel and the Hawaii State

Department of Health that led to the release of those documents.

....

Q When you posted this did you post the other side of it where the signature is?

MR. PFEIFFER: Yes.

Q Because it is not here and that's been an issue.

MR. PFEIFFER: We posted both sides and when it was looked at it was looked at by —

the fact checkers came to headquarters and actually examined the document we had. [The

short form only]

19
 That settled the issue. In recent weeks, the issue has risen again as some folks

have begun raising a question about the original -- about the long-form birth certificate

you now have in front of you. And Bob will explain why -- the extraordinary steps we

had to take to receive that and the legal restraints that are in place there.

....

MR. BAUER: Early last week the decision was made to review the legal basis for

seeking a waiver from the longstanding prohibition in the state Department of Health on

releasing the long-form birth certificate. And so we undertook a legal analysis and

determined a waiver request could be made that we had the grounds upon which to make

that request.

And by Thursday of last week, I spoke to private counsel to the President and

asked her to contact the State Department of Health and to have a conversation about any

requirements, further requirements, that they thought we had to satisfy to lodge that

waiver request. She had that conversation with the state Department of Health on

Thursday — counsel in question is Judy Corley at the law firm of Perkins Coie, and you

have a copy of the letter she subsequently sent to the department with the President’s

written request.

The department outlined the requirements for the President to make this request.

He signed a letter making that request on Friday afternoon upon returning from the West

Coast. And private counsel forwarded his written request — written, signed request —

along with a letter from counsel, to the state Department of Health on Friday.

The department, as I understood it, after reviewing the law and reviewing the

grounds asserted in the request, came to the conclusion that a waiver could be

appropriately granted. We were advised that the long-form birth certificate could be

copied and made available to us as early as Monday, April 25th -- the day before

20
yesterday. And we made arrangements for counsel to travel to Honolulu to pick it up and

it was returned to the White House yesterday afternoon.

...

MR. PFEIFFER: We'll be happy to take some questions.

Q I guess I just want to make sure that we’re clear on this. Even though this one says

“certificate of live birth” on here, this is different than the other certificate of live birth

that we’ve seen?

MR. PFEIFFER: Yes. The second page there is the one that was posted on the Internet.

Q Okay.

MR. PFEIFFER: And that is a copy of the one that has been kept at the Hawaii

Department of Health.

Q Okay. And this is the one that would be referred to — that people have been asking

for that is the birth certificate?

MR. PFEIFFER: They are both — the second one is the birth certificate. The one on the

top is what is referred to as the long-form birth certificate. As you can see — and Bob can

walk you through it — it contains some additional information that is not on the second

page, which was the birth certificate which was released during the campaign.

If you could just explain the difference.

MR. BAUER: There’s a difference between a certificate and a certification. The

certification is simply a verification of certain information that’s in the original birth

certificate. The birth certificate, as you can see, has signatures at the bottom from the

attending physician, the local registrar, who essentially oversees the maintenance of the

records. It contains some additional information also — that is to say, the original birth

certificate — it contains some additional information like the ages of the parents,

birthplaces, residence, street address, the name of the hospital.

21
...

The core information that’s required for legal purposes and that is put into the

actual certification that’s a computer-generated document, which we posted in 2008, that

information is abstracted, if you will, from the original birth certificate, put into the

computerized short-form certification, and made available to Hawaiian residents at their

request.

So the long form, which is a certificate, has more information, but the short form

has the information that’s legally sufficient for all the relevant purposes.

Q This first one has never been released publicly, correct?

MR. BAUER: That’s correct. It is in a bound volume in the records at the state

Department of Health in Hawaii.

....

Q And this is going to sound — I mean, you can just anticipate what people are

going to — remain unconvinced. They’re going to say that this is just a photocopy of a

piece of paper, you could have typed anything in there. Will the actual certificate be on

display or viewable at any -- (laughter.)

Q Will the President be holding it?

MR. PFEIFFER: He will not, and I will not leave it here for him to do so. But it will —

the State Department of Health in Hawaii will obviously attest that that is a — what they

have on file. As Bob said, it’s in a book in Hawaii.

MR. BAUER: And you’ll see the letter from the director of the Health Department that

states that she oversaw the copy and is attesting to —

Q But do you understand that this could quiet the conspiracy theorists?

MR. PFEIFFER: There will always be some selection of people who will believe

something, and that's not the issue. The issue is that this is not a discussion that is just

22
 happening among conspiracy theorists. It’s happening here in this room; it’s happening

on all of the networks. And it’s something that, as I said, every major political figure of

both parties who’s actually out trying to talk about real issues is asked about this by the

media. And so the President decided to release this. And I'll leave it to others to decide

whether there’s still — there will be some who still have a different — have a conspiracy

about this.

Q You’ve got two certified copies, according to this study. You have these

physical —

MR. PFEIFFER: Yes. I showed you one. Just one.

Q You showed us a photocopy of one.

MR. PFEIFFER: No, I showed you —

Q Does that have a stamp?

MR. PFEIFFER: It has a seal on it.

.... End.

27 Mr. Bauer’s quote established that he requested the acquisition of the Birth Certificate

and that Ms. Corley was to go to Hawaii and pay for the two certificates. Loretta Fuddy, Director

of the Department of Health, replied to the Presidents letter (Exhibit 8) by stating “I am making

an exception to current departmental policy, which is to issue a computer-generated certified

copy.” What computer-generated means is the short form certification of the COLB that the

Obama campaign displayed in June 2008 which was generated only from the database

information keyed in at the Department of Health. What Certification means is that the

Department of Health is certifying that they possess an original hospital generated Certificate of

Live Birth. That is what they gave the Obama campaign back in 2008. Loretta Fuddy states in

her letter something very important as to what we are seeing. “I have witnessed the copying of

23
the certificate and attest to the authenticity of these copies.” That means she personally

witnessed the photocopying of the original paper form of Barack Obama’s alleged COLB onto

the green security paper. [Emphasis added]

28 On the same day as the news conference Hawaiian Governor Neil Abercrombie sent out a

news release (Exhibit 9) which stated: “On April 25, 2011, pursuant to President Obama’s

request, Director Fuddy personally witnessed the copying of the original Certificate of Live

Birth and attested to the authenticity of the two copies. Dr. Alvin Onaka, the State Registrar,

certified the copies.” [Emphasis added] His letter is implicating Dr. Onaka personally put the

round Department of Health seal and the registrar’s stamp on the two certificates. I will prove

that no such department seal was ever on the COLB and the registrar’s stamp is a forgery.

29 What the Governor and Director Fuddy supposedly gave the President was a direct

photocopy of the original COLB that is bound in the book (Figure 11). It did not come from the

department’s document imaging system which contained black and white or grayscale Group4

Tiff images. The image shown at the April 27th announcement was supposedly the black and

white photocopy image on the security paper from the copier. The curvature on the left-hand

gutter of the page was supposed to have been caused by placing the book on the glass of the

copier without removing the page from the post binder book.

Figure 11. The Registrar, Dr. Alvin Onaka, retrieving one of the books containing original birth certificates.

30 At this point, we are led to believe that the chain of custody went to Judith Corley, who

24
supposedly picked up the envelope on Monday from the Health Department office and then took

a plane to Washington D.C. and delivered the two Certificates of Live Birth, with seals, to the

White House by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. During the news conference Mr. Pfeiffer replied to a

reporter’s questions by stating “As Bob said, it arrived by plane—the President’s personal

counsel went to Hawaii and brought it back and we got it last night.” That must have cost the

President well over $7,000 to pay for last minute airplane tickets and the lawyer’s hourly time to

make this delivery. All of this was totally unnecessary. The fee ($14.00) could have been paid by

wire transfer in one day, the letters could have been sent by e-mail or fax or even express mail.

The UPS cost for picking up an envelope in Hawaii and delivering it by 8:30 a.m. the next day to

Washington DC is only $83.00. Keep in mind there was no rush in getting these forms. The only

reason I could think of why a personal currier was sent is if the currier was delivering something

valuable to people in Hawaii such as money for services rendered and you did not want any trail

of the transfer of money. That is the only reason I can think of why Ms. Corley had to personally

go to Hawaii.

31 At this point, the chain of custody transferred to Mr. Robert Bauer who had the two

stamped and sealed COLBs. The White House communications staff made copies of the three

letters and copied one of the Certificates and placed them into folders and gave them to the

attending news reporters. I received the scan of the reporters’ copy of the COLB from

12newsnow.com TV (Exhibit 10). This further verifies the chain of custody for the reporters

copy and that Robert Bauer was in charge of the acquisition of the two COLBs from Hawaii.

Plausible Deniability
32 The news conference conducted by Daniel Pfeiffer and Robert Bouer presented a classic

case of plausible deniability because they were not going to let President Obama see the birth

certificate that he just paid over $7,000 to acquire and they made the point of saying that they

were not going to leave it in the White House for the President to see it. When President Obama

25
did his news conference he never directly mentions the birth certificate that was presented a little

over an hour before. He only mentions the Certification of Live Birth (the short form abstract)

that was released in June of 2008. They set up a classic case of plausible deniability because they

knew that what they were presenting was a forgery and they were defrauding the United States

and its citizens. This was one of the reasons I got involved in the investigation. Other people at

the 8:48 a.m. news conference also knew it was a forgery because they laughed after a news

person said “Will the actual certificate be on display or viewable at any — (laughter.)” The Joke

was evidently on us the American people.

The Involvement of General Electric, National Broadcasting Company and Savannah Guthrie.
No evidence of a Hawaiian Department of Seal on the Obama COLB. The forth point of
forgery.
33 The following is what I believe is the involvement in this forgery of General Electric,

NBC and Savannah Guthrie. This is strictly my opinion after connecting the dots in this case.

NBC is owned by General Electric. The Today Show is the property of the NBC network. GE

Capital is a subsidiary of GE and was in bad financial shape in 2008 because of bad loans it

made prior to the real estate crash in 2008. After making a deal with the Obama administration, it

was allowed to get relief from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Temporary

Liquidity Guarantee Program. It did it by selling its bad debt amounting to $340 billion to the

FDIC and paid a fee of only $2.3 billion. This story was reported by Jeff Gerth and Brady

Dennis, two reporters from the Washington Post, on June 29, 2009.

“At the same time, GE has avoided many of the restrictions facing other financial

giants getting help from the government.

“The company did not initially qualify for the program, under which the

government sought to unfreeze credit markets by guaranteeing debt sold by banking

firms. But regulators soon loosened the eligibility requirements, in part because of

behind-the-scenes appeals from GE.

“. . . The government's actions have been "powerful and helpful" to the company,
26
 GE chief executive Jeffrey Immelt acknowledged in December.”

34 So General Electric and GE Capital owed the Obama administration their business so

when President Obama and his handlers knew they had to produce a forged birth certificate

because Jerome Corsi’s book Where’s the Birth Certificate? was going to be released in early

May 2011, the administration needed someone they could trust to say they examined the forgery

and state publically that the round DOH seal was present on the COLB and the document looked

legitimate. They needed someone the public would recognize and maybe even a lawyer who

would have some credibility.

35 The last question asked at the morning news conference was by a reporter that could not

see any seal on it and that is why Mr. Pfeiffer had to tell him that there was a Department of

Health (DOH) seal on it. I will next prove there was no DOH round seal on the two documents

delivered to the White House.

“Question: You showed us a photocopy of one.

MR. PFEIFFER: No, I showed you —

Q Does that have a stamp?

MR. PFEIFFER: It has a seal on it.”

36 I think what happened was an executive at GE talked to an executive at NBC and told

them what they needed. That executive contacted the executive producer of The Today Show and

told him they needed a little favor.

37 At that time Savanna Guthrie was the White House correspondent and the co-anchor of

the MSNBC program The Daily Rundown (2008 to April 2011). Before then she was the legal

analyst and correspondent for the network. Sometime after the 8:48 a.m. news conference,

Savannah Guthrie was allowed by someone at the White House to examine the newly presented

27
Obama COLB. At that time we know of two pictures she took. Figure 12 show what she wrote

on her Titter account and a video of her on MSNBC report that day. “I saw the certified copy of

the long-form POTUS birth certificate today, felt the raised seal, snapped this pic.” On May 9th

2011, just twelve days after she did her little performance of examining Obama’s COLB, she had

a new contract with NBC to become the co-host of the 9:00 a.m. NBC Today Show, which I am

sure included a very large increase in her salary. On June 29, 2012 she was again promoted to co-

host of The Today Show, which I am sure included another substantial increase in her salary.

Figure 12. Savannah Guthrie stating that she felt a raised seal from the Hawaii DOH.

No evidence of a Department of Health Round Seal on the COLB, the forth point of forgery.
38 The Department of Health Seal of any type is not clearly visible on the Obama COLB.

Figure 13 shows the area where the remnant of a round “seal” should be seen. On the left is the

PDF from the White House web site and on the right is the picture taken by Savanna Guthrie,

supposedly when she was inspecting the COLB and “feeling” the seal. You can barely see

anything other than some lighter spots in a circle. Figure 14 shows the same two after I enhanced

the color image so as to see the remnant of a round seal.

28
Figure 13. Latent image of the DOH seal on the PDF copy. On the right and Savannah Guthrie’s copy both

barely noticeable.

Figure 14. The PDF copy and Savannah Guthrie’s copy after the enhanced color adjustment had been

made so the “seal” becomes visible on both..

39 The only way I was able to see a remnant image of a seal was by changing the color

saturation, brightness and contrast on both. Figure 15 shows the reporters copy and it shows

nothing at all. That is why the reporter asked the question. I tried many combinations on the

reporters copy trying to get the image to show up but nothing could be seen. That is very

important and this is why. It proves there was no real embossed seal on the COLB certificate that

supposedly came from Hawaii. The embossed seal is part of the paper because it puts holes and

groves in the paper. It should not be only part of the image of the green paper. That means the

latent image of the seal was only part of the image of the security paper and not part of the paper

itself, in other words its not really there.

29
Figure 15. Where the seal should be on the Reporters copy but nothing shows up.

40 As you remember the White House made copies from their copier and gave them to the

reporters. Most copiers use a green light source. When copied the green color of the safety paper

drops out. Exhibit 11 shows seven legitimate color DOH seals that can be clearly seen with

minimal adjustment of brightness and contrast. The center and right middle two are from Mr.

Obama’s COLBs and you can clearly see the difference. On his COLBs there is only a latent

image, but on the others you can clearly see the impression the embossing made to the paper.

They came from long form COLBs and short form abstracts and you can visibly see an

embossed seal on a certificate even a copy of a copy as shown in Exhibit 12 and you can still see

the round seal clearly but you can’t see it at all on the Obama copy.

41 Embossed seals damage the paper deliberately by tarring it in specific places thereby

creating the pattern we call the seal. In this process it also damages the type and lines on the

form. It can’t help but doing that. You can see that in Exhibit 11 with the two examples on the

top and bottom right and center. We should have seen this kind of distortion on the Obama

COLB but we do not, which is just another indication that no embossed seal was ever on the

Obama COLB. This is the forth point of forgery and proves that Savannah Guthrie never felt

any embossed seal on the COLB she supposedly examined. It is also why the Mr. Pfeiffer and

Robert Bauer did not let anyone else see the birth certificates they received from Hawaii which

implicated them as being willing participants in the forgery and its presentation to the public.

30
The wrong form width proves their acquisition scenario false, the fifth point of forgery.
42 Paul and I had figured out the exact line length of the 1961 COLB forms measured from

the bold vertical line on the left hand side to the end of the line on the right side. The original line

length was 7-inches (504 points). The United State Treasury had made an agreement with the

copier manufacturers to make sure their B&W and color copiers did not reproduce exactly 100%

but slightly reduce the size horizontally and vertically by about 1-2%. I had received a copy of

Virginia Sunahara’s death certificate from the Hawaiian DOH and it had a line length of 6.875-

inches which represents a 2% reduction, which is normal. The Governor and the director Fuddy

wrote that Mr. Obama’s COLB was a direct copy “of the original Certificate of Live Birth” and

copied on a copying machine which had the green security paper in it. That means someone took

the book containing supposedly Obama’s COLB and copied the original paper copy and copied it

onto the green security paper. The glairing problem is that the Obama COLB is 6.125-inches

wide which represents a 12.5% reduction and that is not a standard reduction from a copying

machine and there was no reason to reduce the size of the COLB. The reduced size was apparent

on all three copies (the reporters, Savannah Guthrie’s and the PDF copy). The forger made the

COLB image width what microfilm copies would have been reduced to when printed out. What

they showed does not agree with what they stated in the news release and Fuddy’s letter (Exhibit

8). This is definite proof their whole story is not true. The size difference is a point of forgery. It

also means the Department of Health is involved in the forgeries at a management level. I was

surprised they would make such a big mistake. This is the fifth point of forgery.

Content Errors, the sixth point of forgery

43 The first content error is the age of the farther stated as 25 years old found in form box

10. This is not true. Barack H. Obama Sr. was 27 years old at the time of the birth. Exhibits 13

and 14 show both his Certificate of Eligibility and entry control documents that clearly show he

was born on June 18, 1934. That would make him 27 years old at the time Barack Husain Obama

Jr. birth. I believe I know who the researcher was who collected the information (I reveal his
31
name in the sealed affidavit) which was put on the birth certificate but that person only went to

the Harvard University records (Certificate of Eligibility Student forms) that stated he was born

on June 18, 1936 (Exhibit 15). I wondered why the father lied on those forms. After researching

the requirements to be classified as a foreign student I found the following requirements: 1.

Students of high school or college range; 2. Age between 14 to 26 years; 3. Good academic level

(overall GPA of at least a C), and a few others. The father lied on his eligibility form because he

had to show he was 26 or under to get into Harvard as a foreign student. The lie of the alleged

father had caught the son. This is the sixth point of forgery on the COLB.

44 The second content error is found in form box 9 “Race of Father” which states “African.

The federal and state coding for race did not include that word. The proper word would have

been “Negro” (Figure 16). This is found in the CDC, Department of Vital Statistics, Instruction

Manual of 1961 lists the description of the races.

Figure 16. The various acceptable race classifications used in 1961 by the Department of Vital Statistics

and Hawaii.

32
 The Typewriter Evidence
Recreating the 1961 Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth
45 The first step in analyzing Mr. Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) was creating

our own original COLB and go through the copying steps that the Hawaiian Department of

Health and the White House said they did. This section will further prove that their scenario of

copying the original Obama COLB is false.

46 Since Paul and I did not have access to an original COLB so Paul typeset our own Obama

COLB for forensic testing (Exhibit 16). The typefaces used on the original 1961 form were

Futura book and demi for the top titles and Cheltenham Book but it was typeset using hot metal

type from a Linotype machine which does not exist anymore. The forger probably did not have a

blank form nor could the Department of Health (DOH) find a 1960s vintage blank form available

so their next choice would have been to scan or copy an original COLB and give it to the forger.

This is what I will prove happened. Paul used the ITC photo type version of these typefaces but

they are slightly different from the hot metal version. The ITC version uses thinner horizontal

lines than the hot metal version. That will be the only difference you will see in our recreation.

47 There is one thing that is standard with all typewriter forms and that is the line spacing

(also known as leading). All typewriter line spacing is based on picas. Single line spacing is one

pica or 12 points and double spaced is two picas or 24 points. There are 72 points to an inch. So

when you set up the form you have to make the lines on the form two picas apart so all the typist

has to do is put the paper in, set the margins and the first line and start typing. So I knew the lines

on the birth certificate had to be two picas apart and I figured out the line length was seven

inches long. I used this basic information to resize horizontally and vertically all the birth

certificates presented to us for examination including the ones found on the internet. After Paul

typeset our birth certificate form we both used our own typewriters to type in the text using

nylon ribbons like the old manual typewriters used. Elite type has an escapement of 6 points and

Pica has 7.2 points. Mr. Obama’s birth certificate was typed using the Elite typeface.
33
The appearance of the typewriter type is not what it should look like, the seventh point of
forgery.

48 I printed out our completed blank form at 1200 dpi (dots per inch) because that most

closely resembled a printed original. The next step was typing in all the text that was on the Mr.

Obama COLB using the Elite typeface and a nylon ribbon just as the hospital did back in 1961,

Figure 17 shows the top of our form and what the original should have looked like if copied flat.

Figure 18 is a magnification showing the fuzzy appearance around the typewriter letters which

are caused by the ribbon and that is normal and what we should see.

Figure 17. This is what the Obama COLB should have looked like copied flat from the original.

Figure 18. Close up look at the typewriter type. The speckle marks around the type is caused by the

typewriter ribbon and that is normal.

34
49 The next step was copying our original onto the security paper using my Canon Copier

which uses a 1200 dpi CCD for the camera. I copied our COLB by placing it in a soft-bound

book the same size as the DOH has so I could duplicate the same curve on the left-hand edge of

the form. I also copied it on a Konica-Minolta Bishub 501 (scans at 600 dpi, prints at 600 dpi), a

Xerox WorkCentre 5745 (scans at 600 dpi, prints at 1200 dpi) and a Canon ImageRunner

Advantage (scans at 600 dpi, prints at 1200 dpi). The appearance of the grayscale on the left

hand edge is created by using a bitmap process called diffusion dither bitmap pattern and each

copier manufacturer has their own proprietary algorithm program for producing it. Figure 19

gives you a close up of what that looks like from my Canon copier. I compared the other copier

outputs and they looked about the same. What was so important about this test was that I

immediately realized that the white halo around all the type and lines on Mr. Obama’s COLB,

the reporters copy, Savannah Guthrie’s and the PDF copy, could not possible be caused by the

copiers. The experiment proved the algorithm that creates the diffusing dither bitmap cannot

produce the white halo at all. What causes the white halo will be explained later.

Figure 19. A diffusion dither to create the effect of a halftone on our COLB.

50 At this stage I should have the same resolution quality that the Presidents COLB

displayed, but remember Paul and I only had at our disposal the reporters’ copy that was a copy

of a copy and that was in turn scanned and put onto the news medias’ web page. The best copy I

35
found was from 12newsnow.com (Exhibit 10) and it was scanned at 600 dpi and saved at 300 dpi

and then put on their web site. So my next step was scanning our copy of the copy at 600 and

300 dpi to see what matched. The 600 dpi matched the reporters copy because of the size of the

pixels. Figures 20 is an enlargement of a small section of our COLB and Figure 21 is the

12newsnow.com enlargement of the same section both at the same enlargement and resolution.

As you can clearly see the form type is near the same in density and quality on both, but still the

reporters copy it is not as sharp in appearance which may indicate that the Department of Health

gave the forger a paper copy of an original rather than a high resolution scan. In other words

their image may have one more copying stage. The typewriter type quality is much different and

cannot be ignored.

Figure 20. Our COLB at 600 dpi copy of a copy of our test COLB.

Figure 21. 12newsnow.com at 600 dpi copy of a copy of the Obama COLB.

51 This test told us two important things. The first was that the forger was given one or more

copies or scans of original paper birth certificates and the only one that would have them is the

Hawaiian Department of Health. The form type quality is too good to have come from a
36
microfilm scan. The typewriter type did not look anything like what it should have been if it

came from a copy of an original, so I had to perform another test. I had one of my service bureau

customers microfilm our version of the COLB and then scan the finished microfilm both using

binary (black & white) and grayscale and used the best resolution available in 2001. The test was

done at different exposures. Figure 22 shows the black and white version and Figure 23 shows

the grayscale sample. You can clearly see that the Cheltenham form type is no where near the

quality that we see on the reporters’ copy of Mr. Obama’s COLB. The typewriter type on our

grayscale COLB in Figure 23 still looks better than Mr. Obama’s typewriter type. On Figure 28

and 29 I compared the type quality between our COLB after it was converted to a PDF and Mr.

Obama’s PDF of the COLB.

Figure 22. Our sample COLB and scanned in binary or black and weight mode.

Figure 22. Our sample COLB from a microfilm copy and scanned in grayscale mode.

52 We have a printout of a scanned copy of Virginia Sunahara’s death certificate (Figure 23).

The typewriter type on her certificate looks better than Mr. Obama’s.

37
Figure 23. Text from Virginia Sunahara’s death certificate which is a copy from a scan.

53 The reason Mr. Obama’s typewriter type has holes in it and appear quite degraded

compared to our COLB or Virginia’s death certificate is because of a scanning process called

thresholding. When you convert a grayscale image to a binary (black and white) image the

program will ask you what thresholding setting you want. If a pixel is a light gray and the

threshold setting was set too high, the conversion process will replace the gray pixel with a white

pixel. It does not matter if the forger was working from microfilm or direct scanned copies; the

results would be the same. Our conclusion is the forger must have used letters and whole words

from microfilm and scanned copies of birth certificates and the wholes in the typewriter type are

the results of the thresholding during the conversion process from grayscale to binary. The

typewriter type appearance on the COLB is not what it should look like. It also shows that the

forger received copies or scans from the Hawaiian Department of Health because they are the

only ones that posses access to the original birth certificates.

54 You will also notice from the reporters copy in Figure 21 the green safety paper

background disappeared, that is because most copiers use a green wavelength light source which

will act as a dropout color. The seventh point of forgery is that the typewriter type appearance

on the COLB, with holes and notches in the letters, are not what it should look like.

38
The White Halo on the form, the eight’s point of forgery.

Figure 24. Reporters copy Figure 25. White House PDF copy. Figure 26. Savannah Guthrie’s copy

Figure 27. Our COLB showing no white halo.

The use of Unsharp Mask, to create the white halo.

55 The next unusual item we noticed is the white halo around all of the type and lines on the

Obama form. Figure 24 shows the upper left hand corner of the reporters’ copy. Figure 25 is the

White House PDF copy and Figure 26 is the picture Savannah Guthrie took. The first two clearly

shows the white halo on both sides of the lines and the type. Even Savannah Guthrie’s picture

shows the faint white halo. Figure 19 and 27 shows our COLB but shows no halo around the

type. The Obama COLB is the only birth certificate we have seen that shows the white halo.

56 The unsharp mask feature is found in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and what it does is

sharpen up the type or images by removing a few pixels surrounding it and replacing it with a
39
white pixel. A graphic artist would use this feature if the edges of type were hazy or speckled and

that is what I believe the forger did in this case with the fuzziness around the typewriter type

caused by the ribbon and also just bad copies given to her.

Figure 28. Our recreated COLB PDF what the White House PDF should have looked like.

Figure 29. The White House COLB PDF clearly showing the white halo caused by unsharp mask feature

in Photoshop and a color shift in the green security paper.

57 The Obama COLB should have looked like what our PDF version of the COLB which is

Figure 28. Figure 29 is the same section but of Obama’s COLB PDF. You can clearly see the

white halo around all the type and lines on Obama’s COLB. The file size of our optimized PDF

version was only 371k and the Obama’s COLB PDF was 376k.

The Forgers Deliverables

58 In order to understand the appearance of the white halo problem on all the Obama

COLBs you have to think in terms of the deliverable the forger had to create and give to the

Department of Health. The forger delivered four forgeries. The first one was a Certificate of Live

Birth on white paper just like the hospital would have delivered to the Department of Health

(DOH) back in 1961. The second deliverable was two 8½ by 11 inch printed finished COLBs

40
with the green security paper image already on the COLB along with the registrar’s stamp and a

latent image of the round DOH departmental seal. To be clear on this, the image of the COLB

was not printed on legitimate security paper but was rather just an image of the security paper

along with the COLB. The third deliverable was the PDF copy of the COLB which was done in

haste. It was based on the finished product in stage two with major changed on the type quality

from stage one. The fourth deliverable was another PDF copy done in June of 2012 for a legal

case they had in Mississippi. The DOH lawyer was Mr. Tepper so I will call that PDF the Tepper

document which will be covered at the end of the affidavit.

Unsharp Mask Feature and the White Halo and why it showed up on the second forgery
deliverable.
59 The question is: Why is the white halo from unsharp mask on the second deliverable?

Figure 30 is what our COLB looks like after I applied unsharp mask. Figure 31 show the settings

I used to match what the forger did comparing it to the same section of the COLB. There was no

escaping the fact that unsharp mask was used on the Obama COLB. This is proof of computer

manipulation of the Birth Certificate. The use of unsharp mask gives it away that the document

was a computer generated forgery and the use of unsharp mask is proof of forgery.

Figure 30. Our COLB with unsharp mask applied to the image.

41
Figure 31. The settings used to create the unsharp mask displayed in Figure 25.

60 The reason why the forger used unsharp mask and why it is visible on the second

deliverable was because the first deliverable was only to match a white hospital COLB form that

the DOH gave to the hospitals to fill out after a birth had occurred. In that instance the white halo

would never show up. What I believe happened is the original assumption was that the first

forged deliverable form would have been used by the Registrar and just copied on their DOH

copier onto the green security paper and then the Registrar would stamp it with his embossed

metal signature stamp, date it and then apply the round DOH seal to it and then deliver it to

Judith Corley. But that didn’t happen. Evidently someone in the Registrar’s office got cold feet

and would not put the real stamp or the DOH round seal on it so the forger had to take her first

deliverable with the white halo on it and transfer it to an image of the green security paper and

then put a mocked-up Registrar stamp (with deliberate errors on it, which I will explain later)

along with a faint image of some round seal and a date stamp. The image file I believe was

printed on an 11 by 17-inch ink jet printer and then trimmed down to the finished 8.5 by 11-inch

standard paper size. Since all three exhibits of the Obama COLB exhibit this white halo that

would indicate all of them were produced from the same computer file and proves computer

manipulation and origin of the COLB. Proof of computer manipulation to generate the COLB is

the eight point of forgery.

42
Color Shift and the 150 DPI of the green security paper. This is the ninth point of forgery.
61 There is a color shift seen comparing our COLB (Figure 28) and the Obama PDF seen in

Figure 29. There should not have been very much of a color shift between our copy and the

White Hoses’ copy because I used the exact same security paper. Most publishers use Adobe

Acrobat to transmit a composed book or magazine to the printer because Adobe keeps all the

color information the printer needs to accurately reproduce the pictures. A color shift difference

can be caused by the forger calibrating her scanner different than the factory default settings,

which are usually correct. The other reason for the color shift could be due to adjusting the color

so the output on the color printer matched the same color of the security paper. This is what I

believe has happened here. There is also a degraded appearance in the security papers design

due to applying sharpening features and reducing the resolution of the green security paper down

to 150 dpi. This is all evidence of computer manipulation and is the ninth point of forgery.

Creating a Grid to Analyze the Type and the Basic Standards for Typewriters
62 The function a typewriter does very well is placing a letter exactly in the same place

every time as seen in Figure 32. There are two different typeface standards used in typewriters.

The first is called Elite which measures 12 letters per inch and the other is called Pica, which are

10 characters to the inch. The typewriter letter spacing will always be the same even if one of the

metal type arms is slightly bent, it will always hit in the same exact place every time. If a

document has letters that are inconsistently place on the document that would indicate a cut and

past job and indicating a forgery.

43
Figure 32. An example of exact even letter spacing, line spacing from a 1960s vintage typewriter.

63 I will be extensively referring to typographic terms to explain what I found so let’s start

out with the basic units of measure. I will be using the terms picas and points extensively. There

are six picas to an inch and each pica is divided into 12 points. So there are 72 points to an inch.

The spaces between lines are called leading. Typewriters use 1 or 2 picas for the line spacing.

The width of a letter is called escapement and an Elite typeface has an escapement of six points

and this is the typeface that was used on Obama’s COLB. Exhibit 17 shows our COLB form and

the Elite typeface from my typewriter fitting the six point grid from the beginning to the end of

the line. Also notice each line of typewriter type rests on the gird lines as it should. I used the

grid feature in Adobes’ Photoshop program to place over the COLB and all the Obama copies but

focusing on the reporters copy.

Typewriter line spacing is inconsistent, the tenth point of forgery.

64 Before the era of computers and laser printers, forms were designed with the typewriter in

mind. First it will always have the same leading line after line. A single line space will always be

one pica and double spaced will be two picas (24 points). So when form designers and

typesetters created these typewriter forms, they had this in mind. Line spacing is accomplished

by a typewriter by a notched gear at the end of the platen (Figure 33) so the leading is always

consistent and becomes a standard to look for on a forgery if we see the typewriter leading

change that will indicate a forgery if it cannot be logically explained.

44
Figure 33. 1960s era manual typewriter showing how it creates the uniform line spacing.

65 The first task was deciding where to place the grid on Obama’s COLB. The first line of

type is Obamas’ full name but it was six points more than the two pica spacing, but I could

understand why. It was larger because box 1a has a height of three picas and the typist could

have just started typing and only adjusted the next line after the name was typed in. So I ignored

that leading problem because there was a good explanation. I set the grid to the type on the box 2

line (Figure 34).

Figure 34. The left side of the first four lines of the Obama COLB showing leading problems from line 2 to

box 7a.

45
66 As you can see by the next line the word Honolulu is one point above the baseline. By

line 6c the name of the hospital is three points above the baseline. On the next line in box 7a the

city is one point above the baseline. Figure 35 shows the right side of the same lines. The first

line started out on the baseline but by the time it got to the month, day, year and time it was all

off. August is one point above the baseline but the year and time is already one point below. The

“X” on the box 6d line is one point below the baseline but the words just before it is three points

above.

Figure 35. The right side of the first four lines of the Obama COLB.

67 Figure 36 shows the next four lines of the form. You will notice line 7d is two points

above the baseline even though the line above was on it. Lines eight and ten are at least

consistent both being one point above the base line. When I examine the right side of the same

lines in Figure 37 we see that by box 7e the “X” is one point below the baseline, a change of

three points down. The type in box 8 Shown “BARACK” one point above the baseline but

“HUSSEIN” starts creeping up to a little over 1.5 points. Box 9 “African” also does not match up

to the type in box 8. There is no reason it should have changed. The type in boxes 12a and 12b

display a one point difference with “University” on the baseline.

46
Figure 36. Right side of Obama’s COLB showing lines 7d to 10 with inconsistent leading.

Figure 37. Inconsistent leading on right side for lines 7 to 12b.

68 The last typewriter lines are shown on Figure 38. Again you see inconsistencies between

the three lines. They should all be the same leading but they are not. All of these leading

variations are a very good indication that the document is a forgery and that the forger either did

not know the basic features of a manual typewriter or just didn’t think anyone would care about

the line spacing. This is the tenth point of forgery.

47
Figure 38. The left side of the last typewritten lines of the form.

Flush left margin type, the eleventh point of forgery.

69 All typewriters start the line at the set left-hand margin. When a typist hits the carriage

return lever the carriage will stop at the left-hand margin every time. The problem with the

Obama COLB is only three of the line starts at the left-hand margin and none of the three start at

exactly at the same place. Figure 39 shows the left-hand margin of the Obama COLB showing

that the first three lines do not mach up. Figure 40 shows a close-up without the empty lines. The

word “Male” looks like it was placed on the form without consideration of using the grid but the

other lines were. This is a big mistake the forger did because the rest of the lines more or less fit

into the one pica grid, which should hold two letters. You can see that even using the excuse of

the curved page does not explain what we are seeing because all the lines have about the same

amount of curvature. Also notice the text from lines up just fine so the cure is not the reason why

the work “Male” is too far to the left. Regarding the age “25” in box 10, I will assume the typist

was trying to center the number in the box so I’ll say that is OK, but when we come to the next

line why did the typist indent one spacebar?

48
Figure 39. Left hand margin of Obama’s COLB. Figure 40. Close-up of Obama’s COLB left hand

margin.

70 I had acquired twelve other legitimate COLBs dated 1957 to 1967, which was the period

that the Department of Health used this particular form. Figure 41 shows the left-hand margin of

six of them. You will notice three of them are from the same Kapiolani hospital that supposedly

Obama was born. Notice all these examples show the proper left-hand margin with the words

lining up.

71 I found seven of the nine lines on the Obama birth certificate had words that were on the

same baseline, but words on the same line did not align with the rest. This is also impossible for

a typewriter unless the typist were to release the roller (platen) and adjust the position up or

down manually. There would be no reason for a typist to do that in the middle of typing a line.

You will also notice that all of them have consistent line spacing. The irregular line spacing on

Mr. Obama’s COLB proves forgery and shows that no typewriter did it. The Obama COLB most

49
likely was created as a result of the letters being positioned by eye on a computer monitor using

Adobe Photoshop.

Figure 41. Six other COLBs from the same period of time all with proper left-hand margins.

72 Of the twelve legitimate COLBs I acquired from Hawaii none of them illustrated the

same left-hand margin inconsistencies as Mr. Obama’s COLB does. This is the eleventh point

of forgery.

Dancing Type, lower case letter found above the baseline, the twelfth point of forgery

73 Paul and I noticed that some lower case letters were not on the baseline and some capital

letters were above the baseline so he did an experiment. The test involved applying different

pressures on the shift key used to go from lower case to upper case (Figure 42). The way it works

is the entire mechanism holding the keys moves down when the shift key is held down causing

the cap letter to strike in place of the lower case letter because both characters are on the same

key and type arm. This test established that lower case letters can only go below the baseline and

the capital letters can only go above the baseline.

50
Figure 42. Shift key test showing that lower case letters can only go below the baseline.

Figure 43. Examples of lower case letters above the base line on the Obama COLB.

Figure 44. Examples of lower case letters above the base line on the Obama COLB.

51
Figure 45. More examples of letters above the baseline that should not be.

74 If the typist does not press the shift key down completely before the letter is struck the

result would be a capital letter a bit higher than the baseline of the word. Also less common

would be when a letter was typed before the shift key was fully released that would cause the

following lower case letter to be lower than the baseline. Once Paul had established that rule we

both decided to check the baselines of everything on the certificate to see if any cap letters were

below the baseline of a word and if any lower case letter was above the baseline of a word.

Figures 43, 44 and 45 show nine lower-case letters marked with arrows that were above the

baseline of the words. This by itself proves forgery because that is absolutely impossible for any

manual typewriter to do that because the mechanism does not allow it. This is the twelfth point

of forgery. I found no caps that were lower than the baseline.

Word spacing problems, the thirteenth point of forgery.

75 A typewriter will place letters in exactly the same place (escapement) every time because

there are mechanical stops that are spaced every six points apart the entire length of the carriage.

The tab set and the space bar uses these stops to know where to start the next letter or word. That

means if you start a typed line the letters and words have to be located at one of those stops. If

you find that words at the beginning of a line are not fitting in the six point grid with words at the

52
end of the line then it means the document is a forgery, if an alternate explanation cannot be

found. I have found no alternate explanation for this spacing problem on Obama’s COLB.

76 The Obama COLB did not fit the six point grid when the form was correctly sized to

actual (Exhibit 18). Both of us tried but could not do it. If I set the grid to the type on the left

hand side I could get the vertical type to line up but past that the type was progressively getting

shorter. Figure 46 shows you a small section of the problem I was facing.

Figure 46. A six point grid showing the type being slightly compressed and not fitting the grid.

77 I had ample legitimate samples of microfilmed birth certificates from other people which

I had sized and the letters fit the grid perfectly and some from the same hospital that most likely

used the same typewriter. Figure 47 is some lines from a 1960 COLB from a different hospital in

Hawaii. You will notice that all the words from the beginning of the line to the end fit within the

six point grid.

Figure 47. A 1960 Hawaiian COLB with the words on the entire line fitting within the grid.

78 The next step was expanding the line width until I found what width made the type fit the

grid. I had to expand the width to 521 points (7.2-inches) to make the text and letters on the left

side and the right side fit the grid (Figure 48). The problem was that the words in the middle did

53
not fit. They stretched too far to the right. The next question is why is this so badly sized? There

could be two explanations for this problem. The first being the forger could have been fooled by

the sizing of the microfilm copies and did not figure out the correct line length of the form. The

forger may not have cared and thought no one would notice. The other explanation is if the

forger was working with a smaller monitor and when she moved from the left side of the form to

the right side she accidently moved the image off the grid a few points and didn’t notice it. This

kind of mistake is easy to do. These are the only explanations I can envision why the type

doesn’t fit the grid along the entire line. The miss alignment starts past two inches from the left

that would not fit the grid. At this point it is not necessary for me to go through each line of the

form; the errors seen on Figure 48 and Exhibit 18 are self evident.

Figure 48. The Obama COLB stretched to 221 points so the left and right words fit the grid but the middle

words do not.

79 Another example proving our conclusion is whole words that the forger did not have to

piece together, common words like “Honolulu” and “Gynecological” that were on other COLBs.

Figure 49 and 50 are some examples from the 504 point correct adjusted reporters copy. As you

can see these words do not fit the grid and are slightly compressed, but after expanding the line

to 521 points these words fit the grid. You will also notice that number 3 “Honolulu” has
54
different letter spacing for the “o” and the “lu” than the other two. A form that was typed with a

single typewriter cannot have two different letter spacing on the same repeated word. This is a

further indication that #3 was hand pasted together. A definite proof of forgery.

Figure 49. Form sized to 504 points but the last few letters start moving to the left.

Figure 50. Form sized to 504 points but the last few letters start moving to the left.

80 Figure 51 shows all the typewriter words on the form. You will notice that some of the

words fit the grid and other do not, thus indicating that there is nothing wrong with the grid size

in relation to the form but that some of the words were sized wrong when the forger placed them

on the form.

55
Figure 51. All the form words placed in a 6 point grid. Some words and letters fit and some do not.

The Problem with Punctuation, the fourteenth point of forgery.

81 The forger also misplaced commas and the “X” in some of the boxes. Figure 52 show the

spacing of all the commas and Figure 53 shows the problem with the “X” boxes.

56
Figure 52. Punctuation problems with only #1, 3 and 5 are in the same location, numbers 2 and 4 are not.

Figure 53. The “X” on line one does not fit within the grid.

82 Typewriter word spacing is so basic to forensic examination and testing that this word

spacing problem alone renders Mr. Obama’s birth certificate a bad forgery. The punctuation

error is the fourteenth point of forgery.

Kerning of Letters, the fifteenth point of forgery.

83 The term kerning means to bring together two letters that would appear to far apart if set

without kerning. Typesetters would do this with letter combinations such as TA, To and LT, etc.

The point being manual typewriters cannot do kerning. The only way it can appear is if a key is

bent to the right or left and appears to have been kerned next to another letter. The following

examples in Figure 54 show type that are kerned or touching, which they should not be. For all

of these letters I examined all of their occurrence on the form, including the corresponding

capital letters, and found they were not bent keys.

57
Figure 54. Kerned or touching letters.

84 What this again indicates is that the forger hand placed letters to build words but did not

pay much attention to the placement of the letters within a grid. This is the fifteenth point of

forgery.

Letter Spacing, the sixteenth point of forgery.

85 We refer you to Figure 32 which shows part of a page of lower case letters showing that a

typewriter will place letters always in the exact same location every time. Paul and I both did the

letter spacing analysis and found ample proof that the letters in most of the non-common words

were pasted together, commonly known as a “cut and past job” even though nothing is actually

being physically cut. Its all done in Photoshop. Figure 55 shows a column of “a” with a single

grid box so you can see how the letters changes placement from one “a” to another. This is

further proof of hand placement of letters.

86 I decided to stack some of the letters with the words containing them and place them in

the six point grid so you can see that various letter placements in relationship with the whole

word. Figure 56 shows the letter “a”, Figure 57 displays the letter “c”, Figure 58 shows the letter

“e” and Figure 59 shows the letter “l”. I set the six point grid to the first letter in the word.

58
Figure 55 Figure 56, “a” stacked vertically

Figure 56. The stacked “a” shows variations of where it was placed but it did not matte when in the word.

59
Figure 57, “c” stacked vertically shows variations of where it was placed.

Figure 58. “e” stacked vertically shows variations of where it was placed.

Figure 59. The stacked “l” shows variations of where it was placed and different fonts for the same letter.

87 The next analysis I performed was to compare two letter combinations to see if they were

consistent. Figure 60 shows seven such letter pairs and they all seem to have different spacing.

You will also notice that we are looking at multiple fonts for the same letter, which of course is

impossible on a typed form unless it was a cut and pasted from more than one form and different
60
typewriters. The common words copied to the COLB had no such letter spacing problems and

were consistent. A typewriter does not have a mind of its own to decide which words it will

randomly space letters and on others which it won’t.

88 It is assumed that a major hospital in a major city that might do over seven births in a day

would have a faulty typewriter and not fix it or replace it immediately.

Figure 60. Nine letter pairs showing different letter spacing and multiple fonts for the same letter.

89 My results show that letter spacing throughout the entire document is the result of a cut

61
and past job except for some very common words that were lifted from other COLBs. Letter

spacing errors are the sixteenth point of forgery.

Multiple Type Faces, the seventeenth point of forgery.

90 A typewritten document will only have one typeface and size displayed on it. If an

examiner finds two or more different typefaces or sizes for the same letter it is a clear sign the

document had been forged. This section will show the different letter designs I found on the

Obama COLB, further proving it is a forgery and obviously should never happen. Some of the

type was taller and some wider than normal elite typeface so those must have been pica

typefaces. Either the forger did not know the difference or was working with a condensed

microfilm copy and didn’t see the difference. I have proven earlier that the forger was using

copies from other microfilm COLBs but didn’t size the form correctly.

91 I am sure the forger took letters and whole words from other COLBs but the forger did

not think that different hospitals used different typewriters that would have different type fonts.

92 The reason different typewriter manufacturers created their own typeface designs were so

they did not have to pay royalties to another company. Many times the design change was very

slight but as long as they changed it a little they do not have to pay royalties. Sometimes I saw

the design change was very slight but as typographers we both noticed the difference. Because I

was also working from degraded images of the type I was very forgiving and if the difference

could be explained, I passed on it. I made my observations by enlarging the images within Adobe

Photoshop.

93 Figure 61 shows two different capital “H” in the document. The Letter “H” shows up nine

times. #1, 3, and 4 are slightly slanted to the right indicating a bent arm in the typewriter. The

rest of the “H”s are normal.

62
Figure 61. Two different “H” typefaces, one with a bent slanted H.

94 Figure 62 shows sixteen different fonts with two or more different typefaces or sizes.

Some of these differences are very slight and some are very noticeable. Sometimes the difference

is only the serifs at the end of the letter and other times it is a complete redraw. The result being I

found sixteen examples of different letter designs used on the same form using the reporters’

handout copy. The letter “W” is much wider than the rest and does not fit in the six point grid. It

could have come from a pica typewriter and not elite. This is a separate point of evidence of

forgery.

Figure 62. Examples of two different typefaces or sizes for the same font.

95 Figure 63 shows an example of rotated type. This is a very special case and you will find

out why the forger rotated the “e” in “Male” 6.7% in box 2. All the other lower case “e” are

normal. This is an obvious sign of a forged document but there is a reason the forger did it and is

explained in the sealed affidavit.

63
Figure 63. The “e” on the left was rotated 6.7% deliberately.

96 Finding sixteen different typewriter fonts or size differences on the same form is of

course impossible if only one typewriter is used. To find this on any document only means one

thing, this document is a forgery. This is the seventeenth point of forgery.

Miss Alignment of type baseline to the forms lines, the eighteenth point of forgery.

97 The next point of forgery is caused by the fact that the form was not perfectly flat on the

glass then the forger scanned it so some of the lines are slightly curved up on the left-hand side

starting from box line 7a down to about box line 13. The difference is only about 1.5 points

overall. The problem is that the typewriter line is straight but the form line below slightly curves

down so we see a half to one point difference where there should be no difference. Figure 64

shows the difference in the three lines. What we should be seeing is the typewriter line following

any curves in the paper as we do on the left-hand top edge of the form. I did not go to the end of

lines 8 and 10 because that type was already not pasted down on the same baseline as the left

side of the form so I used type in the middle where the difference was not as great but was still

noticeable. This is the eighteenth point of forgery.

64
Figure 64. Baseline differences between the form itself and the baseline of the type.

The Registrar’s Stamp, the nineteenth point of forgery.

98 Both the Registrar’s stamp and the DOH seal are made of metal. The Registrar’s stamp is

not a rubber stamp or a self inking stamp commonly available.

99 State and Federal statutes make it a crime to forge or alter the birth identification number

(the State File Number), the registrar stamp or the Department of Health round embossed seal.

Altering any one of these or forging one is a federal crime under subsection Title 18, section 506

(a)(3).

100 After I resized all three copies of Barack Obama’s COLB to the correct actual size I

noticed that the date and the Registrar’s stamps appeared to be in exactly same place (Exhibit

19). When I finally got original COLBs I immediately saw that both the registrar and date stamps

are two separate embossed stamps and there was no chance of two COLBs having these two

hand embossed stamps in exactly the same location. I had multiple originals and copies of these

certificates and no two were exactly the same. I then created a clear overlay from the Exhibits

and saw that the line spacing was the same on all three. From this study it became obvious that

all of Obama’s COLB copies came from a common origin. The white halo around all the type on

the registrar’s stamp should also not be on a photocopy. Another cause for suspicion is that the

date stamp and the registrar stamp are both too straight on the paper and there is no good reason

why it should be that way. These are two hand stamped elements and there is no reason they

should be made straight. None of the other originals and copies of COLBs were like that. That is

an indication that they were manually placed in Photoshop and made straight.

Errors on the Registrar’s Stamp

101 Figure 65 shows the Registrar’s stamp on the PDF copy and the reporters copy. I have

also included an enlargement of the “TXE” error. As I mentioned the Registrar’s stamp is a metal

embossing stamp and we can assume was produced by a professional stamping company that
65
makes seals. The seal is first typeset and would not have any line spacing or poorly made letters

on it before it would be cast in metal. I found the following errors on the Registrar’s stamp that

should not be there but was put there deliberately and the reason will be explained in the sealed

affidavit.

Figure 65. The Registrar’s stamp on Mr. Obama’s COLB from the reporters and PDF copy.

102 The first error is the damaged letter “H” in the word “THE” in the second line to look like

“TXE.” The second point is the italic script E found under the capital “A” in Alvin (Figure 66).

The third item is a line deliberately put on the script “n” in the word Alvin. Figure 67 shows a

close-up of what I found. The forth item is the white halo around all the type on Onaka’s stamp.

The white halo is created by the feature unsharp mask mentioned before.

Figure 66. Close-up of the script “E” under the “A”.

Figure 67. Close up of the short line placed on the “n” in Alvin.

103 Everyone should understand that NO professional stamping house, whether rubber or

66
metal stamps or seals, would make these mistakes. It’s not professional and just would not

happen especially if the company knew the stamp or seal was for a government agency that

would be used hundreds of thousands of times in an official manner. So what you are seeing is

impossible and not believable! This is the nineteenth point of forgery.

104 I have other copies of the same registrar stamp (Figures 1 and 68) but they do not display

the same errors on them even though they are both forged. The first shown (Figure 68) was

stamped on March 15, 2011, which is just 41 days before Mr. Obama got his and it uses the same

exact registrar stamp. Figure 69 is an enlargement of the same stamp. The line on the script “n”

is not present. There is no script E found under the capital “A” in Alvin. The “H” in “THE” is

just perfect and there are no color density differences of the type in that area. There is no

evidence of the halo around all the type. All four of the errors only showed up on Mr. Obama’s

COLB.

105 When I look at the registrar’s stamp on Obama’s short form dated June 6, 2007 (Figure 1)

the stamp has no such aberrations even though I wrote it may also be forged because of the ink

density problems.

Figure 68. The Same Registrar stamp from a different forgery received just 41 days before Mr. Obama got

his but with different errors on it but not the same as Obama’s.

67
Figure 69. Close up of the registrar stamp from the same time period with no line across the “n” in Alvin,

the “H” in THE does not look like an “X” and there is no script “E” under the “A.”

106 I was wondering how an embossed metal stamp that produces recessed type could leave

an inked impression. I figured it out by using my biological microscope and examined the three

genuine certificates I got from the Hawaiian Department of Health (Figure 2). I examined the

registrar’s stamp under different magnifications and discovered the black was not caused by ink

of any type because it did not seep into the cotton paper. The black specks and flakes were on the

surface and sticking to the surface cotton fibers. The way the DOH makes the date stamp and

registrar stamp visible is with using something like a carbonized ribbon over an inch wide. I

personally know that Ricoh sells this type of wide ribbons so I know they do exist.

JBIG2 lossless Compression, the twentieth point of forgery.

107 I have not focused on the PDF copy of Mr. Obama’s COLB because there was almost no

chain of custody for it and I also thought that it was only intended to create confusion and also to

hide the bad letter spacing and multiple type faces. The forger used JBIG2 compression in

creating the PDF. It did succeed in rendering the type analysis useless on the PDF copy. I will go

into it here because the very use of it helps prove the intent of the forger to hide some of her

mistakes and deliberate errors she added to the COLB.

108 JBIG2 compression was developed to provide a compression that would produce a one-

third to one-fifth file size over standard compressions. What it does is pattern match and replace

68
with a smaller code that matches the pattern found in the programs library. It is not really OCR

(optical character recognition) its bitmap pattern matching. The way it works is the program

creates a library of similar bitmapped patterns it recognizes while analyzing the page. Let’s say it

see a pattern that is an “o.” The next time it seen the same pattern, within a certain error range,

the program replaces that pattern with a small code representing that “o” pattern. It does this with

as many patterns it can match up. The output file can be much smaller because it does not have

to actually repeat a lot of similar bitmapped letters. The problem with this system is that it ruins

the ability to make individual letter comparisons for forensic examination. That was the reason

the forger went through the extra steps to use JPEB2 output. What ruined it for the forger was

that the White House used one of the two high resolution copies they got from Hawaii, to make

the copies for the newsman for the Wednesday morning news conference. That is the only reason

Paul and I got a high resolution copy to examine. Figure 70 shows some of the repeated letters I

found on the Obama PDF. You will notice all the similar letters have exactly the same bitmapped

image. That is the tell-tail sign if JPEG2. Figure 71 is my test from our PDF.

Figure 70. Examples of duplicate letters caused by JBIG2 compression on Obama’s COLB PDF.

Figure 71. Examples of duplicate letters caused by JBIG2 compression on my test COLB PDF. There

69
were a lot more matching letters but this is enough to prove my point.

109 I want to state now that I was able to replicate the layers that appeared on Mr. Obama’s

COLB PDF. What I learned from doing it was that the forger had to go through an additional

four steps to convert the type using JBIG2 compression and she had to use two programs to do it.

The use of JBIG2 compression is the twentieth point of forgery.

The Tepper Document

110 The attorney Orly Taitz had a lawsuit in Mississippi against the Mississippi Democratic

Party. The Lawsuit was filled some time in May 2012. The defendants’ attorney was Scott Tepper

from the Law Firm of Garfield and Tepper of Los Angeles, CA. Because of this lawsuit the

attorney Tepper wrote a letter dated May 25, 2012 to Loretta Fuddy, Director of the Hawaiian

Department of Health, requesting her to verify the existence of Mr. Obama’s COLB at the

Hawaiian Department of Health. He had attached a PDF copy of the original White House PDF

COLB to his letter and he also filed it with the court which had a filling date of May 4, 2012.

That copy of the PDF COLB looks just like the one that is on the White House web site and it

matches what we also have. Alvin Onaka was then gave the job to answer Mr. Tepper which he

did in a Verification of Birth letter dated May 31, 2013 (Exhibit 20). Onaka in his letter states “. .

. reviewed by me on the date of this verification, a copy of which is attached with your request,

matches the information contained in the original Certificate of Live Birth for Barack Hussein

Obama, II on file with the State of Hawaii Department of Health.” Onaka used a signature stamp

instead of signing the letter but he initialed the stamped signature wit “ATO” indicating he

stamped. The legal old seal was then embossed over his signature certifying it was him. Mr.

Tepper after receiving Alvin Onaka’s file and new PDF file then modified his May 4, filing on

June 6, 2012 and attached the new PDF of the COLB just received from Alvin Onaka.

111 The one big problem was that the new PDF COLB was changed. It was modified by

globally changing the color to be much lighter and greener in appearance (Exhibit 21). The

reason they did that was to hide the white halo around all the type and lines. They knew it should

not have been there and they couldn’t explain it away. We already explained how the white halo

was created by using unsharp mask. By globally increasing the green value on the image it

almost completely erased the white halo as seen on Exhibit 21. Paul and I were able to replicate

the same effect using Photoshop. Figure 72 shows our results and Figure 73 shows the settings

we both used to get these results.

Figure 72. Our results to match the Tepper PDF COLB.

Figure 73. The settings used to replicate the same appearance of the Tepper PDF COLB received from

Alvin Onaka.

112 The altered Tepper COLB from Mr. Onaka proved several things that are very important.

The first is that the only way to alter the color, hue and saturation levels of the image is within

71
Adobe Photoshop. You cannot do it using only Acrobat because it does not have these settings to

adjust the color. So we must conclude that someone at the HDOH had to have local access to the

forger and had the forger of the previous delivered forgers modify the color settings in the

original file and create a new PDF COLB file which the forger delivered back to someone at the

DOH. This was the fourth deliverable that I wrote about earlier. This shows another direct

connection between the forger, the previous forgeries and the Hawaiian Department of Health.

113 Since Dr. Alvin Onaka did not directly sign the letter but only a signature stamp was

used, we really do not know if Dr. Onaka signed it even with the initials after the name but since

the Department official seal had been stamped over his name it would lead everyone to that

conclusion. This may just be one more attempt at plausible deniability on the part of the registrar

but that will have to be investigated by a Federal Grand Jury but it still does not release the

Department of Health from officially being involved in the forgeries.

114 Conclusion and request for order of discharge from 18 U.S.C. §4 and 18 U.S.C §2382

obligation and referral of evidence to grand jury.

Further Affiant Sayeth Naught. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is

true and correct.
