During the 2008 presidential Election rumors surfaced that Barack Obama had actually been born in
Kenya making him
constitutionally unqualified to be president. This started a movement among some of Obama’s opponents to push the issue; they have come to be called birthers. The issue is important because if Obama really was born in
Kenya he needs to be removed from office.
Obama’s response was to release a copy of a short form Certificate of Live Birth which while it has proven authentic actually proves nothing about Obama’s place of birth because obtaining one does not require showing the birth occurred in Hawaii. This started the call that Obama provide a long form birth certificate which would prove he was born in Hawaii but he did not. The issue should have been settled when congress counted the electoral votes in January of 2009 by congress demanding that Obama provide his long form birth certificate before they certified the election but they never did.
After this several law suits were filed to force the release of Obama’s his long form birth certificate but the white house fought every one of them getting them dismissed for lack of a standing. When a shoulder being deployed to Afghanistan questioned the lawfulness of Obama’s orders he court marshaled with out being allowed to raise the issue in his defense. Being unable to defend himself since his defense was disallowed he was naturally convicted and spending time in a military prison he was dishonorably discharged. As a result all courts have refused to hear any case on this issue and Obama fought all efforts to have it reviewed in court even to the point of ruining people to protect it.
Another way the truth could be found was to check Obama’s mother’s passport records to see if she had been in the U.S. or Kenya at the time of Obama’s birth. That would have settled the issue once and for all but when a Freedom of information act request was filed to get those records they were told that here records had been destroyed.
Eventually several states started perusing laws that would requires some one running for president to present a birth certificate to prove they were qualified to be president. Obama’s first response was to challenge the first such law but then eventually released the long awaited long form birth certificate. While it has the intended affect of stifling the passage of laws requires some one running for president to present a birth certificate it did not end the issue.
The long form birth certificate has been examined and there are question about it that suggest that it is fake. One is that the certificate was clearly digitally inserted on the back ground as is evident by the white surrounding the letters. The second “1” in the certificate’s number is clearly inserted and not part of the original number. Questions have also been raised about the number it self by comparing it to numbers from other people born on the same island at about the same time. One other issue is that Obama’s father’s race is listed as African which would not have been used in 1961. In 1961 Obama’s father’s race would have been listed as Negro. This looks like a mistake that would be made by a politically correct forger.
What makes this even worst is that it is such an obvious fake that it could only be more obvious if they had place Fake Birth Certificate at the top. This raises the issue of why? There are two possibilities both of which are disturbing. One is that Obama was born in
Kenya and is perpetrating a humongous fraud and is arrogant enough to think he get away with such an obvious forgery. The second is the Obama was born in
Hawaii and is deliberately keeping this issue alive by needlessly playing games in hopes of distracting opponents.
In my opinion the truth is the second option. The main reason is that it is the best explanation that explains the facts. This is particularly the fact that the released long form birth certificate is such an obvious fraud that it must have been intended to be discovered so as to perpetuate the myth as a distraction.
The sad thing is that the truth will never really be known because those with the authority to find the answers have refused to look investigate and find them.
