Forensic findings on Obama’s birth certificate: ‘A 100 percent forgery, no doubt about it’

(LONG READ!)

There is a problem with President Barack Obama’s long-form birth certificate: It’s a forgery, say multiple forensic experts who have examined it. A report detailing the evidence will soon be presented to Congress.

On April 27, 2011 the White House released Mr. Obama’s long-form birth certificate in an attempt to quell a public firestorm over the validity of the shorter version he provided prior to his 2008 election. A group of concerned citizens in Arizona suspected the Certificate of Live Birth produced in 2011 by the administration was fabricated; they asked Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County to investigate.

“We have obtained an affidavit from a certified document analyzer, Reed Hayes, that states the document is a 100 percent forgery, no doubt about it,” said Cold Case Posse Lead Investigator Lt. Mike Zullo in an exclusive interview with WorldTribune.

This is a key development, asserts Lt. Zullo, because Mr. Hayes is a certified handwriting analyst and forensic document examiner who worked repeatedly for Perkins Coie, a reputable law firm, and was deemed a dependable professional in their legal cases. Moreover, Perkins Coie has defended Mr. Obama in his legal jousts on the birth certificate matter over the past five years.

“Mr. Obama’s operatives cannot discredit him,” said Lt. Zullo. “Mr. Hayes has been used as the firm’s reliable expert. The very firm the president is using to defend him on the birth certificate case has used Mr. Hayes in their cases.” In addition, Mr. Hayes is a Democrat whose business is based in Hawaii. He cannot easily be accused of having a political axe to grind in this matter, explains Lt. Zullo.

Mr. Hayes initially agreed to simply take a cursory look at the document. Yet, within one hour, he called Lt. Zullo. “There is something wrong with this,” said Mr. Hayes.

A few weeks later, the expert, who has over 20 years of experience and has authored five books on his craft, presented a detailed 40-page report with a stark assessment: “…based on my observations and findings, it is clear that the Certificate of Live Birth I examined is not a scan of an original paper birth certificate, but a digitally manufactured document created by utilizing material from various sources,” writes Mr. Hayes. “In over 20 years of examining documentation of various types, I have never seen a document that is so seriously questionable in so many respects. In my opinion, the birth certificate is entirely fabricated,” states Mr. Hayes.

The report by Mr. Hayes is now an affidavit that belongs to the Cold Case Posse and cannot be retracted, regardless of any political or social pressure he encounters, explains Lt. Zullo.

“There has been a very effective media campaign to discredit anyone who tries to work with us,” said Lt. Zullo. “It is impossible to discuss this issue without being lambasted.”

Those who defend Mr. Obama say inquiries into the president’s birth certificate are based on conspiracy theories; these are “birthers,” they insist, who simply refuse to accept the credible evidence presented by Mr. Obama.

As a precaution against others misusing or manipulating Mr. Hayes’s report, Lt. Zullo has copyrighted it.

Mr. Hayes’s report has provided yet another certification — among a resounding 1,200 computer software tests undertaken by Lt. Zullo’s team — that demonstrates, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the long-form birth certificate has been fabricated. Lt. Zullo appointed two reputable computer science professionals, working independently of one another, to examine the long-form birth certificate. Both experts confirmed the document is inauthentic.

“Somebody made this,” said Lt. Zullo, referring to the long-form birth certificate as a nine-layer, computer-generated PDF document. “Someone spent days doing this.”

“The recreation of an official document is a crime,” said Lt. Zullo. “Either there is no original birth certificate or there is something in the original that is being concealed.”

The Maricopa County Cold Case Posse consists of an all-volunteer unit of accomplished individuals with experience in criminal investigations and legal professionals working under the law enforcement authority and direction of Sheriff Arpaio.

Sheriff Arpaio asked Lt. Zullo in August, 2011 to quickly quell the concerns of about 250 citizens who asked for an investigation. Yet, to his dismay, Lt. Zullo was unable to do so, having concluded within five days of his work that the document was compromised. He has since traveled to eleven states in eleven months, relying on public donations, on a grueling campaign to gather information about the certificate.

He filed an affidavit on May 14, 2013 to the Supreme Court of Alabama chronicles much of the evidence he has compiled thus far. In particular, he depicts a two-day meeting of investigators, attorneys, and information technology professionals, including Mara Zebest, a nationally recognized computer expert.

“All in attendance agreed unanimously that the White House computer image .pdf file contained anomalies that were unexplainable unless the document had been fabricated piecemeal by human intervention, rather than being copied from a genuine paper document,” states the affidavit.

The Cold Case Posse has determined that the certificate of live birth the White House presented is not a photocopy of an original document but one that “was pieced together electronically from multiple sources,” according to the affidavit. The registrar’s signature stamp and date stamp are from different layers of the document and are imports from other sources.

“The fact that the stamps can be picked up and moved about the document leaving a white background…is evidence enough of tampering,” states the affidavit.

During our interview, Lt. Zullo narrated his encounter in Hawaii on May 21, 2012 with Deputy Attorney General Jill Nagamine, who after repeated questions, failed to confirm the document released by the president is the same as any that might exist in their records.

“If you make a copy of your driver’s license and alter it, is it still a copy?” asked Lt. Zullo. She did not directly answer the question, and instead replied: “But you still have a driver’s license.” She agreed to confirm only specific items on a list, not that the document the White House produced is identical to any in the Hawaii archives. This incident “sent all the alarm bells ringing,” said Lt. Zullo.

“If an official document is altered in any way, it must be stated that it is an amended version,” said Lt. Zullo. “Failure to do so is a crime.”

The Cold Case Posse continues to gather evidence. The current report, consisting of 300 pages and likely to balloon to 400, will soon be delivered to Congress.

“We can’t send it to the Department of Justice for obvious reasons,” said Lt. Zullo, referring to the lack of credibility of current Attorney General Eric Holder who has been embroiled in multiple scandals, and is accused by leading Republicans of lying to the American people.

“I am working on this 24/7,” said Lt. Zullo. He has endured long hours on the case, under intense pressure from Obama administration operatives and supporters who seek to discredit Lt. Zullo and anyone who cooperates with the investigation.

When I asked why he persists, he replied, in the terms of a devoted officer of the law:
“I know it’s a felony.”

“The entire United States has been defrauded by a document that is usually automatically issued to every person in America. This is a blatant manipulation. If President Obama can’t be honest about his birth certificate, he can’t be honest about anything,” Lt. Zullo said.

“The original ‘birther’ is President Barack Obama himself,” said former Deputy Sheriff of Florida County and current talk-show host Carl Gallups in an interview with WorldTribune.

“It was Barack Obama who said for 16 years, along with his publisher that he was ‘Kenyan born,’” said Mr. Gallups, referring to the promotional materials for Mr. Obama’s book by his literary agency Dystel & Goderich prior to his presidential election that referred to him as having been “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia.” Mr. Obama’s bio was changed on the agency’s website in April, 2007, stating he was born in Hawaii. When Breitbart News broke this story, Miriam Goderich issued a press release stating that “a fact-checking error” occurred while she worked as an agency assistant. In other words, for sixteen years, the “error” had gone undetected.

Mr. Gallups, host of Freedom Friday, a pastor for 30 years, author of the Amazon best seller The Magic Man in the Sky, is now the premier media reporter covering the investigation. He has been given a unique position of trust and confidentiality in the case due to his extensive law enforcement background. Mr. Gallups also accompanied Lt. Zullo to CPAC and Capitol Hill earlier this year in order to present the evidence to politicians.

“Barack Obama has not been vetted,” said Mr. Gallups. “It is the responsibility of Congress to determine the eligibility of any candidate to hold office. The Senate examined whether Senator John McCain was qualified to run for president and concluded that he was. Yet, no one has done the same for Mr. Obama.”

Mr. Gallups explained that he, like most Americans who first hear about this, assume someone, somewhere has determined that a candidate running for office, especially the highest office in the land, has documents that have been thoroughly examined. “Yet, the procedure to run for office is for a political party to endorse a candidate,” said Mr. Gallups. “The Democratic National Committee determined that Mr. Obama was eligible. Once a party endorses a candidate, the individual states are not required to do any examination. The only other agency required to do the vetting is the Electoral College. But in this case, they did not do so either.”

“Everyone feared a public backlash of some kind,” explains Mr. Gallups of attempts to thoroughly vet Mr. Obama prior to 2008. Yet, based on his expert analysis as a former law enforcement officer, the long-form birth certificate document is indeed a fabrication.

“From the beginning, I have always said, as a law enforcement officer and patriot, if I can be proven wrong, I will back down, will declare my mistake and apologize.” He has issued numerous public challenges for anyone with credible evidence to come forward.

“This is not fun; it is not easy,” he said. “I have been marginalized and insulted simply for stating the truth of the matter. As a patriot, ex-cop, father and grandfather, I know what I know. Please prove me wrong. I will back away.”

Mr. Gallups echoes the sentiment of many who have looked at the evidence: initial dismissal, then shock, disbelief, an assumption that it is all a mistake that will quickly be debunked and then the horror of concluding that the certificate Mr. Obama has presented is fake.

What many in the media fail to grasp is that so-called “birthers” would rather be wrong than right. It is more upsetting for many of them to believe that this kind of crime can be committed than that it was not.

The difference between a conspiracy theory and a crime is that a conspiracy theory cannot stand against the test of forensic evidence. Those who dismiss this investigation as merely “kooky” must answer these questions: Are leading experts in their field who have provided their professional assessment to a criminal investigation merely to be ignored?

Why would these experts risk their reputation and also commit perjury? It is therefore kookier to disregard these assessments summarily than to view them with an unbiased eye.

The evidence currently being accumulated by the Cold Case Posse requires consideration. It is time for Congress to do its constitutional duty and examine all this hard evidence in the clear light of day.

That’s a great question.
As best I can tell, their position is that the only birth certificate that matters is the one stored in a safe in the Registrar’s office in the Hawaii Department of Health, the original version. That one has been verified as authentic by Hawaii officials on eight occasions since 2008.
They further believe that what some folks call “forgery” is nothing more than misunderstanding the optimization process used when creating a PDF from a scanned document. In layman’s terms, digital manipulation doesn’t alter the content of a scanned document, it just makes the document easier to read on a computer screen through compression and optimization of graphics.
It’s like saying that a scanned picture of the moon that has been digitally manipulated and enhanced through the use of Adobe Illustrator software algorithms does not change the moon itself or render the moon as fraudulent.

Birthers -- streuth. There are some strange people in the US of A.

WOW a birther still after all this time....Brother you will believe anything.

[Ambrocious]

The people involved in these investigations are real people. For example Mr. Hayes mentioned in the article is an expert at investigating fraudulent documents with 20 years under his belt. The birth certificate that Obama last offered as proof to the "conspiracy theorists" has been proven to be fraudulent being composed of a "nine-layer computer-generated PDF". The sheriff involved in this case, Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County has investigated this case professionally, examining the document that Obama called "proof" over 1,200 times in separate computer tests.

People can't read articles apparently, nor can they watch anything they have already decided to be false. Self censoring of personal intake of information = willful ignorance. None of this is a joke. I ask you again; research this stuff BEFORE you call it a lie because calling it a lie before you do anything at all is ignorance.

Reed Hayes: Reed Hayes is a certified handwriting analyst and forensic document examiner providing questioned document expertise to legal and law enforcement communities, corporations, financial institutions and private individuals. - http://reedwrite.com/

Joe Arpaio: Joseph M. "Joe" Arpaio (born June 14, 1932) is the five-time elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. First voted into office in 1992, Arpaio is responsible for law enforcement in Maricopa County. - Wikipedia

This is the proof that this is indeed a real and legitimate issue. It is up to the people of not only the United States but also the world to be willing to not censor their selves from information that could very well be crucially true. Because of the nature of the information, people find it hard to look into this information. No matter what happens, I will always try and awaken people. I do nothing here except provide the proof, people that don't know it's validity need to stop calling me a liar and start researching this stuff too. Im sick and tired of being called a liar.

Joe Arpaio is an two bit Arizona Tea Party racist sheriff with his own agenda. There is zero credibility there.

The State of Hawaii certified the Certificate. Good enough for the rest of the world..

[Ambrocious]

Let me expand on this. Back in the day when Obama was born, they used type writers. Now I’m not sure how many of you are old enough to know this but type writers had bands of ribbon that the metal pieces swiftly smacked down against the paper. Each letter that is swiftly smacked onto the paper is likened to a fingerprint: under a microscope you can see that even though you may have typed the letter "A" 100 times, it's ALWAYS going to be slightly different. In Obama's birth certificate EVERY SINGLE LETTER THAT WAS THE SAME, WAS EXACTLY THE SAME. Does this answer any questions?

After being examined very carefully, the people doing this investigation realized that all of the letters on the documents that were the same were identically the same even when viewed under microscopic conditions. This tells me that it was NOT done with a type writer which was used back then when Obama was born, but instead it was done on a modern computer.

So thats how you sweep it under the rug? Lump him in with the racists and tea party members? This goes far beyond that but you will probably never know.

[Beamslider]

Expand away.....The fact is Obama was born in Hawaii...There is ample proof...Newspaper announcement dating to the birth and a Certified State of Hawaii birth certificate.

The other fact you appear to miss is that Federal courts have continuously ruled that only the Congress of the United States per the Constitution of the United States may question the credentials of the President. The Congress of the United States has not only declined to do so, they accepted them TWICE.

That is the end of it.....

That is exactly what the man is....That gives him zero credibility.

He is no expert on the subject either by the way.

Has Obama sued him for slander? Ya know, Obama has every right in the world to sue him for slander if the information isn't true. Why hasn't Obama sued him yet? Do you believe that the government and the media only tells the truth? Example, before Edward Snowden leaked that the NSA was spying on everything, NSA officials declared under oath that they were not illegally spying on everyone. Another example about the drone program being used, Robert Gibbs, senior campaign advisor for President Obama, was told to "not acknowledge" anything about drones even though they were public knowledge. Check this video out:

Start at 2:20 if you want to get right to it

I suppose the question that needs to be asked here is since the government has lied countless time before, should we keep unwaveringly trust them or maybe should we back up a little bit and say, "Hey, they lied a lot before, they might do it again". A healthy mistrust (NOT anarchy) should be developed inside of people everywhere if they want to know what’s really happening. I’m just trying to raise the awareness of people about these issues.

[Beamslider]

Why would Obama waste his time suing someone for slander.....Don't be ridiculous. It would just feed more idiots.

my grandmother was born in the usa... she never got birth certificate at birth either ...one of 12 or so kids. one of several shunted off to live with others either friends or family or strangers when her mother died when my grandma was 1 year old...moved to several different states before she moved to canada with out any ID on her person and got all her documentation sent to canada when she was an adult... it was different time back then,...she lived to be 100 years old and died 15 years ago... was she too "not born in america" just because the poor living in very remote areas did not have the same access to doctors hospitals churches and the like as the rich living in affluent areas of large cities way back when. for obama it was actually quite common for no birth certificates to be issued under the circumstances of his birth...but proof has been suplies ...do you actually think the tea party or the republicans would let this go if it could actually be proven...give your collective heads a shake people and move onto REAL issues..or some cases another non story

But this isn't about your grandmother, this is about Obama and the fact that he is fraudulent.

I know that one day you will know the real truth and so will many others, that’s why I’m willing to take all of the insults you throw at me. I’m just trying to show people what has been purposely covered up. I want people to stop being hurt and to stop being victims of all of these deceptions, there are countless out there and I have hopes that humanity can and will engage in non-partisan personal investigations fueled by curiosity. In 2009 when I first ran into a lot of this information I made a decision that no matter how crazy the information was, I was going to read up on it and get to the bottom of things. It hasn't been easy but it has been worth it, even now when I risk the entire nsane community thinking of me as "insane" lol.

newsflash.. it has been proven the people examining the document were actually using a microscope on a photocopy...not the actual original document...therefore when a total bonehead is in charge you get total bonehead results...but still proof enough for some.no unsults being thraown at you ... stop with that rant please i spoke only to the evidence suplied

[dMog]

and with that i am out of here... no more replies to this topic

[Beamslider]

Dude....I have a copy of my birth certificate from the state I was born in. It is a photocopy made by the State and then having the State Seal imprinted into it....That is all you get...They do not give you the original or even let you examine the original....In fact it is also labeled Certificate of Live Birth. That is what most States label them....That is a Birth Cert.

It was also readily accepted by the US Government to issue a Passport to me....

Reed Hayes is being ignored here. I suppose he's racist too right? Lets look at this guy who also says this looks completely fabricated.

Reed Hayes Bio (in short):

Political Choice: Democrat

Occupation: Certified handwriting analyst and forensic document examiner providing questioned document expertise to legal and law enforcement communities, corporations, financial institutions and private individuals.

From: Hawaii

This is a small section of the original article above:

“…based on my observations and findings, it is clear that the Certificate of Live Birth I examined is not a scan of an original paper birth certificate, but a digitally manufactured document created by utilizing material from various sources,” writes Mr. Hayes. “In over 20 years of examining documentation of various types, I have never seen a document that is so seriously questionable in so many respects. In my opinion, the birth certificate is entirely fabricated,” states Mr. Hayes.

The report by Mr. Hayes is now an affidavit that belongs to the Cold Case Posse and cannot be retracted, regardless of any political or social pressure he encounters, explains Lt. Zullo.

“There has been a very effective media campaign to discredit anyone who tries to work with us,” said Lt. Zullo. “It is impossible to discuss this issue without being lambasted.”

Those who defend Mr. Obama say inquiries into the president’s birth certificate are based on conspiracy theories; these are “birthers,” they insist, who simply refuse to accept the credible evidence presented by Mr. Obama.

OK, whats the excuse for this guy to do what he is doing? Oh I forgot to mention this too:

There is a problem with President Barack Obama’s long-form birth certificate: It’s a forgery, say multiple forensic experts who have examined it. A report detailing the evidence will soon be presented to Congress.

Im pretty sure that they wouldn't be trying to present this before congress if they weren't at least a little bit sure of it.

[Beamslider]

The latest darling of the birthers is named Reed Hayes, a handwriting expert in Hawaii, tasked by the Maricopa County volunteer Cold Case Posse to look at the electronic PDF image of Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate.

LOL you have to be kidding.

[LeetPirate]

I find it difficult to believe that random "experts" from anywhere could get a hold of Obama's original birth certificate for the sake of authenticating it. I mean seriously? It doesn't matter how much of an expert or "expert" someone claims to be, the fact is that none of them have the right or power or legal authority to hold the original document so how can anyone authenticate something by examining a duplicate? I'm 100% sure there is a nutcase out there who will claim that the declaration of independence is also a fake.

LOL you have to be kidding.

So he seems pretty willing to defamate himself by supporting the birth certificate fraud. I wonder if he would do this for any specific good reason. I wonder if he's doing this to lose credibility, that must be his goal right? I'm sure he isn't doing this lightly. Why would he, at the risk of his buisiness success, support Arpio so vehemently unless he was absolutely sure of his findings? Ask yourself: why would you say anything with intense belief? Ussually it is because you would be sure of some thing right? Well he is an expert in what he does, I'm sure he wouldn't do this unless he was on to something.

[Beamslider]

He is doing it for money or agenda......

Why would ANYONE want to go after the President of the United States in such a fierce manner, at risk of personal defamation and at risk of much more harm to one's self in many different ways, unless they thought for sure they had something on Obama? I understand that there are nut cases out there but these are not crazy people living in the gutter in downtown Brooklyn. Would you risk yourself respect and livelihood in order to falsely criminalize Barack Obama? I wouldn't, not in a million years, but if I had evidence against him that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt was real, I would be very careful about how I got that information out to the public.

This is an information war, plain and simple. Mainstream media and the Whitehouse is lying to the people in mass. For a while I thought it was time for mainstream media to side with free humanity which is being crushed slowly into the ground. When Snowden broke out with those leaks and mainstream media was exposing a lot of what was happening, I thought to myself, "It's about damned time. The people DESERVE to know the truth!"

After the death of writer Michael Hastings which looks a lot like he was murdered, it sent a clear message to the members of media abroad: Shut up about our secrets or DIE! Mainstream media is now scared once again, at risk of life and limb. So tell me now, do you think Sheriff Joe Arpio and Reed Hayes are doing what they are doing out of fun? I really doubt it. I also doubt they are doing this for money, thats retarded.
