The Obama "Birth Certificate" released by the White House has been proven a forgery on several levels, using computer software. But a simple test that even a child could do, show it to be a forgery without using any high tech software. The only thing required is your eye, and a pair of scissors.

Is Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate a forgery? Definitely yes, for those of us who have spent a lifetime writing and producing technical documents, and who remember how they were produced in pre-computer days, and who have the technical expertise today to produce them using computers. For us, it's been an "open secret" that the document image released by the White House on April 27, 2011 is a complete fake.

[L]ast summer, I wondered if there would be some way to demonstrate that this "birth certificate" is indeed a fake, just by looking at the document itself and without resorting to computer software or to any knowledge about how computers produce documents. And, after studying it for a while, I realized that the forgery fails the "pitch test."

you "birthers" are funny! Now can you get me Dick Cheney's "birth certificate"? Since I have a feeling that Mars doesn't provide them!

too much to read thru at the moment ( brevity is birther kryptonite ) but one of the first points is easily debunked:

Quote:
Second, without fancy (expensive!) software but just by magnifying the PDF about 4x, visible to the naked eye is the mixture of bitmap and grayscale elements which would not have been possible with an ordinary computer scan of a paper document.
not only is it possible, it's probable with an ordinary scan and PDF optimization:

PDF Layers in Obama’s Birth Certificate - By Nathan Goulding - The Corner - National Review Online

another key point to the "computer forgery" claim is it doesn't take into account the photos savannah guthrie took at the press conference for the long form birth certificate (LFBC).. the photos are a higher resolution than the PDF so we know the PDF can not be the source for the document photographed. for the "computer forgery" claim to true requires that the white house had an official certified COLB ready to scan....... but instead made a computer forgery for sh*ts-n-giggles.

ETA: "flat earthers"????? Hmmmmm......I think the term "flat birthers" would be a good term to apply to those on the other side of the divide from the "birthers".

If it's so easy a child could do this yet birthers haven't been able to prove anything since Obama took office does this mean birthers are no smarter than children?

I suppose this is quite likely. Look at the petulant little brat that calls himself Sheriff of Maricopa county.

Another incompetent analysis by a hopeless amateur. This one is particulalrly hilarious because it betrays a complete lack of familiarity with both mechanical, manual typewriters and the parallax distortion caused when taking a photograph of a document with a cell phone.

This article is, frankly, stupid beyond belief.

Almost as stupid as the Birthers that believe it.
