Yes, I can verify that the Dutch on this document actually does say, "This is not a government document. It is political commentary."

I suggest that given this, no forensic examiner is necessary.

Well, I can give you an example. You've seen the curve of the page on the left, right? Some words are straight instead of curving, while other words below it are curved. Whoever did this was not a pro.

You are in error.

Merely blowing the image up and counting pixels proves that all of words curve exactly as they should.

What, you don't see it? It's there. I don't speak or read Dutch, but a simple online translator convinced me that Historian Dude is correct in his interpretation of what it reads.

Certainly, you can see the faint text that is the complete background of the document right? Get some imaging software and adjust the contrast if you want to see it better.

The full background text reads:

Quote:
DIT IS GEEN GELDIG DOCUMENT VAN DE OVERHEID. DIT IS POLITIEKE COMMENTAAR. HIJ IS VOORZITTER VOOR MINSTENS DRIE EN EEN HALF VAN MEER JAREN. KEUR HET GOED. DIT ZAL NIET VERANDEREN.
Rough translation:

"This is not a valid government document. This is political commentary. He is President for at least three and a half more years. Get used to it, it's not going to change."

Who counted pixels? All you have to do is draw a line under a word to see if it is 180 degrees or if it is slanting to the left. The program will give you the exact slant in degrees.
