Obama Eligibility: Cold Case Posse Presents Affidavit To Alabama Supreme Court
Michael Zullo, the lead investigator for Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse submitted an affidavit to the Alabama Supreme Court in the Barack Obama eligibility case, in which he listed literally hundreds of reasons to question the eligibility of Barack Obama to be President and pointed out that obvious problems which he believes indicate that the birth certificate that was posted to the White House website is a forgery. We’ve already seen multiple copies of the birth certificate presented to the court.
Keep in mind that this is not a press conference, but an affidavit submitted to a court. It is no longer a matter of just making information known, but this is a written sworn statement of fact voluntarily made by Mr. Zullo under an oath which is administered by an authorized person to do so by law.

Attorneys for Appellants
Affidavit of MiCHAEL ZULLO
My
name is Michael Zullo, I am a citizen over 18 years of age and a
resident of Arizona. The information contained in the affidavit is based
on my personal knowledge and if called as a witness, I could testify
completely thereto. I am a former sworn law enforcement office/criminal
investigator and currently appointed by the elected Sheriff of Maricopa
County, Joseph M. Arpaio as the commander of his Cold Case Posse and
serving in this capacity as the chief investigator commissioned to
investigate the allegations brought to his attention that President
Obama’s identity documents were forged. I hereby swear, to the best of
my knowledge and belief, as follows:
- In August 2011,
some 250 citizens of Maricopa County, Arizona, petitioned Maricopa
County Sheriff Joseph Arpaio to investigate allegations that President
Obama’s identity documents were forged. They further alleged that by
endorsing the forgeries, Mr. Obama had raised questions about his
constitutional eligibility to hold the office of President.
- The Maricopa
County Sheriff’s Office is an Arizona State Certified Law Enforcement
Agency, Headquartered in Phoenix Arizona. Maricopa County is the fourth
largest county in the United States, and has a total area of 9,224
square miles. And has a population of over four million. Deputy
Sheriffs of the MCSO are delegated their law enforcement authority by
the Maricopa County Sheriff.
- Sheriff Joseph M.
Arpaio became Sheriff in 1992 and has been reelected to an unprecedented
sixth term in office. He began his career as a federal narcotics agent
infiltrating drug organizations from Turkey to the Middle East to
Mexico, Central, and South America to cities around the U.S.
- His expertise and
success led him to top management positions around the world with the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He concluded his remarkable
federal career as head of the DEA for Arizona. Arpaio has over five
decades experience in law enforcement.
- The Maricopa County Cold Case Posse
- Under the Arizona
Constitution and Arizona Revised Statutes, the elected Sheriff of
Maricopa County has the authority to request assistance from a volunteer
posse to assist the Sheriff in the execution of his duties, working
under law enforcement authority of the Maricopa County Sheriff.
- Upon activation by
the Maricopa County Sheriff, certified Posse members are empowered to
act as if the Sheriff himself were present when called upon to do so.
Posse members of the MCSO are delegated their law enforcement authority
by the Maricopa County Sheriff.
- Under that
activation Sheriff Arpaio granted fully law enforcement authority of the
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to conduct this investigation and to
report back to the Sheriff our findings for his ultimate dispensation.
- In October of
2006, Sheriff Arpaio ordered the creation of the MCSO Cold Case Posse
(CCP). At his personal request I accepted appointment as commander of
this unit. I have served in this capacity for the last seven years.
- The purpose of
the CCP was to assist Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in investigations
including active and Cold Case Homicides. Since its inception, the CCP
has been placed under the guidance and control of The General
Investigation Division.
- The MCSO Cold
Case Posse consists of hand selected individuals with diverse skills
consisting of professional experiences in conducting investigations,
including individuals with backgrounds in Law Enforcement, Insurance
Fraud Investigations, Military Service, Physicians, Computer
Information Systems, Corporate CEO’s, as well as attorneys who have
participated in criminal and or civil litigation.
- Sheriff Arpaio
referred the complaint to his Cold Case Posse, directing myself as Lead
Investigator to review the evidence, to determine whether and to what
extent the complaint had merit, to investigate further in due course as
necessary, and to report directly to Sheriff Arpaio.
-
A five-member team of experienced investigators was expressly selected. It included former police detectives and attorneys (whom have received additional investigational training by Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office) who worked voluntarily and at virtually no expense to the taxpayer.Investigation of the Complaint
- Sheriff Arpaio
referred the complaint to his Cold Case Posse, directing myself as Lead
Investigator to review the evidence, and to determine whether and to
what extent the complaint had merit. We were to investigate further as
necessary, and report to Sheriff Arpaio. Sheriff Arpaio expressed that
it was his goal to clear the document as authentic and move the country
forward. He also required that the investigation be thorough and absent
of any political ideologies, and that it be performed with the utmost
care and diligence.
- At the Sheriff’s
direction, the principal focus of the investigation was the electronic
document or computer image on the White House website that President
Obama had presented as an authentic image of his long-form birth
certificate to the American people and to citizens of Maricopa County at
a White House press conference on April 27, 2011, when he had said, “We
provided additional information today about the site of my birth…yes,
in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital.”
- The investigators
were also directed to review all background documentation provided by
the petitioners in relation to their complaint, and to consider all
other information obtained or developed during the normal course of the
investigation.
- The petitioners
suggested that the Sheriff’s Office should start by contacting Dr.
Jerome Corsi, an investigative journalist who had written a book in
search of Mr. Obama’s original birth certificate document and had
amassed a substantial body of evidence. Dr. Jerome Corsi was unknown to
the investigators prior to this investigation. Subsequently, we spent
16 hours interviewing Dr. Corsi, who agreed to turn over to us for
review all of the information he had on file.
- At the conclusion
of Dr. Corsi’s interview I determined that Dr. Corsi’s work, (with the
exception of a copy of the down loaded .pdf file released by the White
House on April 27, 2011) was to be treated as “investigational
information” only and not to be considered as evidence.
- The basis for
this decision was due in part to the fact that some of the information
presented by Dr. Corsi was a compilation of research performed by other
individuals. In addition Dr. Corsi was in communication with these
individuals prior to meeting with us and these individuals were yet
unknown to our investigators.
- To preserve the
independence and integrity of our investigation Dr. Corsi’s information
would be utilized as investigative background information only. Dr.
Corsi worked closely with our investigation as an informational source
until July 2012.
- Dr. Corsi
suggested that we should contact a nationally recognized computer
expert, Mara Zebest, who has served as a contributing author and
technical editor for more than 100 books on Adobe and Microsoft
software. Ms. Zebest was contacted and invited to participate in a
two-day investigational meeting, to which we invited five other
participants: investigators, attorneys, and professionals in
computerized graphic design, IT professionals, and a physician. None had
any prior familiarity with the White House computer image document.
- During that
meeting, all aspects of the document were examined with the intention of
attempting to disprove the allegation that the document had been
fabricated. This included a review of the work of an author by the name
of John Woodman. John Woodman, a struggling, self-described computer
expert, had authored a book putting forth explanations on how computer
software automatically caused the anomalies contained in the White House
document. Mr. Woodman’s work had been cited vigorously by numerous
media outlets attempting to disqualify allegations suggesting that the
.pdf document offered by Mr. Obama was anything but authentic.
- The theories set
forth in Mr. Woodman’s book were thoroughly tested by investigators and
found to be nothing more than pure speculation and supposition. The
investigators concluded Mr. Woodman’s work was nothing more than
conjecture without any evidentiary proof that his theories could be
supported.
- When
investigators put his theories into practical application, they could
not successfully reproduce any of the anomalies found in the White House
document by automated computerized process. Therefore Mr. Woodman’s
work was dismissed as irrelevant and offering zero evidentiary value.
- At the end of the
two-day event, all investigational information concerning the .pdf file
was presented was intensely tested and deliberated.
- 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. This conclusion also served to contradict
the alleged chain of events surrounding the production of the document,
as put forth by the White House and the Hawaii Department of Health.
- Investigational
findings thus far were reported back to Sheriff Arpaio. Having informed
Sheriff Arpaio that the document appeared to be a fabricated forgery and
that violation of Arizona criminal statutes and federal statutes may
have taken place, it would be essential to continue the investigation.
Sheriff Arpaio agreed and investigators began to pursue further
investigation of the .pdf file and related events surrounding the
creation of the document.
- This serves as an
outline of our work, preliminary results, and preliminary conclusions
to date. As of the date of this report, this investigation remains open
and ongoing and additional forensic evidence continues to be uncovered
further validating the original investigational findings.
- Investigators
studied Mr. Obama’s “short-form” Hawaiian birth certificate that became
public in 2008; the “long-form” certificate endorsed by Mr. Obama at a
White House press conference on April 27, 2011, and then posted as an
electronic computer image at www.whitehouse.gov (no physical document
was produced); and the selective service registration card allegedly
signed by Mr. Obama on July 30, 1980.
- We interviewed
several persons, consulted many experts, tested and evaluated computer
evidence using related software. In early in 2012, I informed Sheriff
Arpaio of our preliminary findings. I reported that after extensive
examination of the electronic document, the computer image released by
the White House on April 27, 2011, and examination of Mr. Obama’s
Selective Service registration card, that we believed there was probable
cause to suspect Mr. Obama’s identity documents were in- fact forged.
- The Sheriff held a
press conference on March 1, 2012, to announce the findings that
investigators had concluded that the document released on April 27,
2011, by the White House of Mr. Obama’s long form birth certificate was a
computer generated fraud created exclusively by human intervention and
not by the actions of random computerization. The press conference
served to attract further evidence, and to give us an opportunity to
present an outline of our reasons.
- On March 1, 2012,
Sheriff Arpaio held a press conference during which he and I presented
an outline of those aspects of the investigation that would not
compromise the safety of witnesses or the integrity and future course of
the investigation.
- At that time, we
announced that we had concluded that there was probable cause that
forgery and fraud had been committed in respect of two documents: 1) the
long-form or original birth certificate computer image presented by
Mr., Obama, which contained multiple errors and anomalies, many of them
serious and: 2) the selective-service document for Mr. Obama, which
contained a two-digit year-stamp. This was contrary to specifications
issued by federal regulation to the effect that the year of issue should
be expressed as four digits on the stamp, and also contrary to any
other selective-service registration document that we had been able to
examine.
-
I visited Hawaii twice and continued our investigation. After further in-depth computerized testing and discovering additional information, we concluded in mid-2012 that Mr. Obama’s identity documents were not only forged beyond the legal standard of probable cause, but due to loop holes in the state of Hawaii’s vital statistics reporting laws, there was the distinct evidence suggesting that Hawaii’s statutes appeared to be in conflict with federal immigration law and posed an independent threat to the national security of the United States.Sheriff Arpaio’s Press Conference on July 17, 2012
- After three
months of further investigation, the Sheriff held a second press
conference to announce, with my support, that there was no longer a
question of mere suspicion but that of probable cause. It was now
demonstrated beyond probable cause that the document presented to the
public by Mr. Obama and placed on the White House website was an utter
forgery.
- In addition,
Sheriff Arpaio reported concerns that Hawaii’s statutes appeared to be
in conflict with federal immigration law and the birth registration
policy in Hawaii posed a threat to national security.
- Sheriff Arpaio
stated at both press conferences that we are not in a position to
conclude either that Mr. Obama himself has committed any offense or that
he was born outside the United States, nor that he is constitutionally
ineligible to seek or hold the office of President of the United States.
- However, the fact
that most if not all of the identity documents are forged supports the
complainant’s allegation that Mr. Obama, in endorsing and posting a
forged birth certificate image on the White House website, has raised
legitimate questions that should now be investigated by Congress.
-
Sheriff Arpaio also announced that the investigation would continue, and it has continued ever since.The Ongoing Investigation
- As the
investigation continued, various national and local media attempted to
disqualify the investigative findings by fostering alternative
explanations for the documents irregularities. Opponents made nothing
more than superficial explanations alleging that the Obama documents
irregularities were simply caused by nothing more than the automation
processes of computer software. However, the media failed to put forth
any investigative evidence to validate their theories, which were
soundly defeated by over 1,200 independent computer software tests
conducted by investigators.
- Investigators
wanted to determine the probability that a document containing the
plethora of irregularities as found in the computer image Obama
presented could still be genuine.
- Taking it a step
further, investigators sought an independent authority on forensic
document examination that had no previous connection with our inquiry.
Investigators commissioned a court certified handwriting analyst and
forensic document examiner with over 20 years of experience providing
document expertise to legal and law enforcement communities,
corporations, financial institutions and private individuals for this
task.
- Investigators
requested an independent review of our findings in respect to the
long-form birth certificate image that fell within his field of
expertise.
-
Upon the conclusion of our expert’s examination he issued an independent 40 page forensic report in which he verified our investigational finding and validating conclusion in full agreement with the finds of investigators. He concluded:
-
“…based on my observations and findings, it is clear that Certificate of Live Birth I examined is not a scan of an original paper birth certificate, but a digitally manufactured documented created by utilizing material from various sources.” and
-
“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.”
-
- Investigators
have determined beyond probable cause that the computer image released
on April 27, 2011 by the White House, and purporting to be a true
computer copy of Mr. Obama’s long form birth certificate, is not a scan
of an original hard copy document. It is, in fact, an undeniable
computer generated forgery created with the sole intent to deceive the
public by commission of felonious fraudulent acts.
- Sheriff Arpaio’s
investigators have determined the document ( the .pdf file released by
the White House) was created entirely by human intervention, and not by
the actions of random computerization. As such, the White house
computer image cannot be relied upon as bona fide factual record of the
birth event that it attempts to depict.
- Our investigation
has also concluded that the method used to fabricate the document was
by means of human logic and the distinct manual placement and
distribution of electronic data between nine distinct computer generated
“layers”. This type of layering is entirely uncharacteristic of a paper
document that, when scanned, results in a simple, digitized, single
layer photographic image.
- Investigators in
particular focused on the registrar stamp bearing the signature of
Hawaii States Registrar Dr. Alvin T. Onaka. This stamp was found to be
comprised of external objects that were imported into the document,
created uniquely for the forgery of the Obama birth document, by an
intentionally deceptive cut-and-paste process. This fact alone is
sufficient to render the entire document void of any probative value.
- Our
investigational findings soundly defeated the only two attempted
explanations of the anomalies on the computer generated long-form birth
certificate image offered for justification: OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) and/or Optimization (Compression of the files in order to
reduce the file size). Investigators attempted to recreate the anomalies
found in the computer generated image by tedious implementation of the
some 1200 computerized tests, and were unable to recreate the anomalies
contained in the White House .pdf file. Investigators clearly
demonstrated that neither could account for the myriad discrepancies
found in the White House image.
- Subsequently,
this is supported by an independent expert forensic examination
confirmed the electronic computer image of Barack Obama’s long form
Certificate of Live Birth, released by the White House on April 27,
2011, is in fact a forgery, thus supporting the initial findings of our
investigation.
- Therefore Mr.
Obama has in fact not offered any verifiable authoritative document of
any legal significance or possessing any evidentiary value as to the
origins of his purported birth narrative or location of the birth event.
- In addition
investigators have determined that the White House .pdf file displaying a
manufactured image of Mr. Obamas purported Hawaiian birth certificate
could not survive judicial scrutiny or be offered as documented
evidence, certified by the State of Hawaii, as proof attesting to the
event and therefore could not be accepted as such in any judicial
proceeding.
- As such, this
computer manipulated fraudulent image cannot be deemed as acceptable
legal evidence for the purpose of validation or verification of identity
or citizenship, or serve as verification of a birth event by any
Secretary of State in the confines of the United States.
- Mr. Obama has not
released any evidence other than a manufactured computer forgery by
human intervention and design in an effort to support his claim of his
birth taking place at Kapiolani Hospital, Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4,
1961.
- Additionally,
Hawaii State Statues and Hawaii Department of Health policy do not
authorize the Hawaii Department of Health to create a computer generated
.pdf file as an officially certified document severing as a
verification of a live birth event.
- The very
creation this .pdf file runs in direct conflict with the Hawaii
Department of Health’s own admission declaring they released two paper
copies of a “Birth Document” to the President’s attorney Perkins Coie
partner Judith Corley on April 25, 2011.
- According to
copies of letters released by White House officials, Judith Corley
initiated the process and traveled to Hawaii to pick up two photo copies
of Mr. Obama’s long form birth certificate, not an electronic .pdf
file. The two copies released to Judith Corley have never been made
public.
- Investigators
have also determined that the much touted 1961 newspaper announcements
are in fact utterly unreliable as evidence to support verification of
the event as depicted in the .pdf image of the manufactured birth
certificate released by the White House and attested to my Mr. Obama.
In addition the aforementioned announcements can be of no substitute
for a Hawaii State Official Birth Certification and or Certificate.
- In summation,
investigators believe that the computer image presented by the White
House is an unabashed forgery, and thus could not survive even the
lowest level of judicial scrutiny in any jurisdiction in the United
States, and does not serve as evidence or certification of any such
event.
-
Furthermore, it cannot be used as an authenticated legal document for proof of citizenship, or proof to obtain a legitimate passport, or legitimate Social Security Identification Number. It most certainly cannot be relied upon as legitimate proof and verification of a live birth event by the residents of Maricopa County, the State Of Arizona, or in any jurisdiction within the United States.Arizona’s Verification Attempts Thwarted
- Arizona Secretary
of State Ken Bennett requested verification of Mr. Obama’s birth
records from the State of Hawaii Department of Health:
- “Please verify
that the attached copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama is
a true and accurate representation of the original record in your
files.”
- However, Hawaii
Department of Health State Registrar Dr. Alvin T. Onaka did not verify
the White House computer image as a true or accurate representation of
the original birth record, only responding, “the information in the copy
… that you attached with your request matches the original record in
our file.”
- Hawaii officials
cleverly focused on the representation of information depicted in the
fraudulent image diverting attention to the foundation of the request of
Secretary of State Bennett. “Please verify that the attached copy of
the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama is a true and accurate
representation of the original record in your files.”
- “Information” is not a verification of the document (.pdf file) as a whole.
- A fraudulently
created document often times contains matching information on some level
when compared to some other document of record, however, the fact that
some information may match in a file does not verify the legitimacy of
the document as a whole.
- In this case the
.pdf image presented by the White House to the public, is in the
appearance of what the unsuspecting public would perceived to be a true
copy of an official document and therefore accepted on face value.
This also includes the fabrication and appearance of green security
paper background that one would expect to be used on such an official
document. The creation and use of this background would solely be used
to give the perception of authenticity in an official capacity.
- Further, Hawaii
has not acknowledged that they ever created or released an electronic
computer created .pdf file containing an image of the Barack Hussein
Obama II Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth to the White House or to the
attorney for Barack Hussein Obama II. They also did not verify how and
when information may have been added or deleted for the original file
and for what purpose.
- The PDF file
posted on the White House website shows no evidence of a scan of a
photocopied document ever taking place, but displays all the evidence of
a manufactured file. An electronic image of the photocopied document as
it would have been if the original document had been genuine would not
have possessed the irregularities in the White House .pdf file that, in
our forensic experts’ opinion, demonstrate that the image was pieced
together electronically from multiple sources.
-
One of our most serious concerns is that the White House document appears to have been fabricated piecemeal on a computer, constructed by drawing together digitized data from several unknown sources.Isolation Of The Registrar’s Signature And Date Stamps
- The registrar’s
signature stamp and the date stamp adjacent to it each appear
independently on separate layers of the electronic image. Furthermore,
these distinct layers contain no other data of any kind. Our experts
have considered the possibility that the ink used for these two stamps
might have been of a sufficiently distinct color to be distinguished
from all other colors on an original paper document and thus isolated.
However, we have concluded that no scan of an original document could
produce such separation of individually distinct items into distinct
layers with no other data on them.
- The registrar’s stamp appears to have been imported from another unknown source document.
- Investigators
intently focused on the fact that the stamp cannot have been placed on
the document pursuant to state and federal laws as one of many
indications that the document is a forgery and, therefore, that it
cannot be relied upon as verification, legal or otherwise, of the date,
place or circumstances of Mr. Obama’s birth.
- The date stamp
next to the registrar’s signature stamp exhibited a similar grave
anomaly, allowing it to be moved about electronically within the
document – which would have been impossible if the document were the
scanned and certified copy that official statements profess it to be.
- We were
particularly disturbed to find that the registrar’s date and signature
stamps could be picked up and moved around the document at will, leaving
behind a distinct white halo impression of the two stamps.
- On our test document, with a single layer and a single link, any manipulation of this kind was impossible.
- A close
examination of the State registrar’s stamp on the electronic image of
Mr. Obama’s birth certificate shows there are two different registrar
stamps evident on the electronic image: (1) the date stamp, indicating
April 25, 2011, and (2) the text and signature stamp containing Dr.
Alvin Onaka’s signature.
-
Both registrar stamps give the appearance of been applied by a rubber stamp inked from a pad.
- The registrar’s date stamp (left) and signature stamp (right)
-
However, our experts determined that the registrar’s stamps are external objects that were imported into the document. The stamps were not impressions copied whole, but were created uniquely for the Obama document by a cut-and-paste process.
-
The white area around the date stamp indicates the image is not a scan of a paper document but a computer-generated file fabricated electronically.
- That the
registrar’s signature and date stamps were both created by links to
external objects imported into the Obama birth certificate is also
confirmed by turning on “Links” in the “Window” menu in Adobe
Illustrator.
-
Not only was the registrar date stamp imported from an external link, it was scaled and then rotated clockwise by 90 degrees to be placed in the document:
- The registrar’s date-stamp scaled and rotated to be placed in the White House image
-
Likewise, the signature stamp was also an imported object scaled and then rotated 90 degrees clockwise to be placed in the document:
-
The Registrar’s signature-stamp and date-stamp were computer-generated images that were imported into the document. They were not electronic images of actual rubber-stamp imprints inked by hand or machine on to a paper document. This can only be accomplished by human logic and intervention.White Halo Effect
- Furthermore, the
White House image displays a white “halo effect” around the letters,
such that the texture of the paper cannot be seen underneath the ink,
and the image noise is inconsistent throughout the document.
-
As seen below, moving the two stamps leaves the white halo visible, indicating where the two external links had initially been pasted into the document.
- Registrar’s date and signature stamps separately rotated and repositioned on the White House image.
- The fact that the
.pdf file contains evidence of the importation of the Official Hawaii
Registrars Stamp and Date stamp and the fact that the Stamps can be
picked up and moved about the document leaving a white background of its
imported placed location should be evidence enough of tampering
bringing the authenticity of the document completely into question. This
fact alone provides sufficient evidence for any court certified
document examiner to conclude and testify the entire document is fatally
flawed and is void of any legal authority.
- Fraudulent Birth certificates created in Washing DC.
- President Obama’s
White House technology czar Vivek Kundra, oversaw technology projects
and budgets for 86 D.C. government agencies as head of the District’s
Office of the Chief Technology Officer. Yusuf Acar, then acting head
security officer for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer was
arrested and ultimately sentenced to 27 months in prison in connection
with a bribery scam by federal authorities in 2009.
- Assistant U.S.
Attorney Thomas Hibarger told a federal judge that Acar, was a flight
risk because agents seized $70,000 in cash in his house and because in
recorded conversations, he boasted that he could easily flee to his
native Turkey. Acar also told an informant that he could use computers
to create fake D.C. birth certificates, Hibarger said.
- Inspector General Report
- In September
2000, the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services published a report on birth-certificate fraud,
showing that birth certificates were widely used to obtain citizenship
fraudulently. It found that few government officials were trained in
detecting fraudulent birth certificates. Yet there is no federal law
specifying uniform form or content for birth certificates. The report
cited:
- “Legitimate birth
certificates provide vital information about the person whose name
appears on the certificate. While originally intended for the sole
purpose of birth registration, birth certificates are now used
extensively for employment purposes and to obtain benefits or other
documents used for identification.
- “The Office of
Inspector General has conducted three inspections focused specifically
on birth certificate fraud that identified a number of vulnerabilities
in birth certificate processes. Because so many Federal and State
agencies rely on birth certificates to assist them in determining
eligibility for services and benefits, it is important that these
agencies have current information on the nature and extent of birth
certificate fraud to assist them in the proper assignment and protection
of benefits.”
-
“A certified copy of a birth certificate is proof only that a birth occurred and was recorded. For that purpose, it may be desirable that the public be allowed easy access to them. However, the agencies and organizations that use birth certificates as proof of identification for employment purposes, to obtain benefits or other documents (e.g., driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, and passports), and to assist them in determining eligibility for public assistance and other benefits, may have concerns with how easily certified copies of birth certificates can be obtained. These conflicting perspectives are at the very heart of the birth certificate controversy”.Birth Certificates continue to be Used as “Breeder Documents” and are Easy to Obtain
-
Virtually all Federal and State agencies agree that fraudulent birth certificates are used as “breeder documents” to obtain the genuine documents needed to create new identities, and that fraudulent birth certificates are easy to obtain. Factors which contribute to their use as “breeder documents” include the followingBirth Certificate Fraud is Hard to Detect
-
“Many altered or counterfeit birth certificates and genuine birth certificates held by imposters may go undetected. The reasons why these fraudulent birth certificates are hard to detect include the following:
- over 14,000 different versions of birth certificates are in circulation;
- nearly 4 million United States births were registered in 1999;
- security features
contained in the paper used to issue birth certificates, as well as
formats and signatures, vary among State vital records offices and the
many local entities issuing them;
- technological
advances in the Internet, scanners, color printers, and copiers make it
easier to obtain genuine birth certificates and create counterfeit ones;
- between 85 and 90
percent of the birth certificate fraud encountered by the Immigration
and Naturalization Services and Passport Services staff is the result of
genuine birth certificates held by imposters — the most difficult fraud
to detect; and Federal and State agency staff report receiving only
limited training focused on the detection of fraudulent birth
certificates.”
- over 14,000 different versions of birth certificates are in circulation;
-
“It was the consensus of those we interviewed that a number of State practices create opportunities for fraud. Those practices include the following:
- delayed, amended,
and midwife birth registrations that are based on affidavits of personal
knowledge, include no documentary evidence, and are not often marked or
overlaid accordingly;
- delays in matching
death and birth records can make the identities of many deceased
persons easy to assume between the time the person dies and the time the
death and birth records are matched;
- questionable
physical security situations that create opportunities for fraud; and
limited oversight of local issuing entities by State vital records
offices”.
- delayed, amended,
and midwife birth registrations that are based on affidavits of personal
knowledge, include no documentary evidence, and are not often marked or
overlaid accordingly;
- “Many agencies and
organizations request that individuals provide their birth certificates
to receive a benefit or service, or to support the issuance of other
documents often used for identity purposes (e.g., driver’s license).
-
However, agencies who rely on birth certificates as a means of establishing identity must understand the limitations of accepting a birth certificate as proof of age, citizenship, or identity. For example, genuine documents obtained with counterfeit birth certificates can be used to obtain genuine birth certificates. Thus, it is inherently illogical to require someone to prove their identity using potentially fraudulent identity documents spawned by false birth certificates in order to obtain a birth certificate.”Governor Abercrombie of Hawaii
- Mr. Abercrombie
has publicly stated that he was present when Mr. Obama was born. There
is no evidence to support this claim. No doctor or nurse or persons who
attended Mr. Obama’s birth has come forward to say so. No one has ever
come forward to say he or she recalls having seen either Mr. Obama or
his parents together at any social event when he was an infant.
- It is not
surprising; therefore, that Governor Abercrombie later recanted that
statement that he had seen Mr. Obama’s parents with their new-born so.
He acknowledged that he had not seen them at any hospital, although he
said he remembered having seen Mr. Obama as a child with his parents at
social events.
- Once Mr.
Abercrombie had become Governor, he told the Honolulu Star Advertiser on
January 20, 2011, that he was searching within the Hawaii Department of
Health to find definitive vital records that would prove Mr. Obama was
born in Hawaii, because he feared the continuing eligibility controversy
might hurt the President’s chances of re-election in 2012.
- Mr. Abercrombie,
who is a member of Mr. Obama’s political party, said that the birth
certificate issue would otherwise have “political implications” for the
presidential election “that we simply cannot have.”
- Mr. Abercrombie
did not subsequently report that either he or the Hawaii Department of
Health had found Mr. Obama’s long-form, hospital-generated birth
certificate. The governor only suggested his investigation to date had
identified an unspecified listing or notation of Mr. Obama’s birth that
someone had made in the state archives: “It was actually written, I am
told, this is what our investigation is showing, it actually exists in
the archives, written down.”
- This being the
case, this document as reported would clearly be out of the chain of
custody of the Hawaii Department of Health. Hence, the authenticity of
that written record and the integrity of that record cannot be verified
or sufficiently secured to prevent tampering.
-
To date, the purported undisclosed birth record in the state archives that Governor Abercrombie has claimed to have discovered and has described as being “actually written” has never been made public.No Mention Has Been Made Of It Since
- From Governor
Abercrombie’s admission, it is legitimate to infer that this record, if
it indeed exists, was not in the possession of the Hawaii Department of
Health, which may have had no record of the in-country birth of Mr.
Obama either in hard copy form, such as a long form birth certificate,
preserved in a vault. If such a document had existed, Mr. Abercrombie
would have had it within minutes of his request: for he had the right,
as the senior official of the Hawaii administration, to examine it if he
wished to do so.
- Governor
Abercrombie’s predecessor, Linda Lingle, who was in office until January
2010, said she had asked the then Director of Health, Dr. Chiyome
Fukino, to confirm the existence of the original paper long-form birth
certificate and to issue a statement confirming that she and Dr. Alvin
Onaka, the registrar of births, had located and verified the existence
of the document
- However, Governor
Abercrombie, even after launching an exhaustive investigation, failed to
produce the documentary evidence of Mr. Obama’s Hawaiian birth that he
had said he would produce.
- On the question of
the long-form birth certificate, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, formerly Director
of Health for Hawaii has made several statements of interest:
- In October, 2008,
she said Hawaiian law forbade the issuance of certified copies of
original birth certificates to persons with no tangible interest in the
record, but added that she and Dr. Alvin Onaka, the Registrar of Vital
Statistics, had personally seen and verified the original birth
certificate “in accordance with state policies and procedures”.
- To this day, Dr.
Fukino is the only person who has said publicly that she has personally
inspected Mr. Obama’s actual birth certificate in a bound book in a
vault at the Department of Health.
- Dr. Fukino’s
statement confirms Governor Lingle’s own statement that she did not
personally verify the existence of the original birth certificate, but
relied solely on the representations of Dr. Fukino, whose statement also
implies that a birth record of some kind exists and that she inspected
it, though she provided neither a description of the document nor any
verifiable information said to have been contained therein.
- Dr. Fukino says
she was accompanied by Dr. Alvin Onaka, with whom she viewed the
document. We noted that Dr. Onaka has never publicly confirmed that he
had accompanied Dr. Fukino or that he had verified the existence of the
document. Dr. Onaka has remained suspiciously silent on the matter to
date.
- Under these
circumstances, Dr. Fukino’s statement to the effect of a verification of
an authentic “Long Form Birth Certificate” has little evidential value.
- Dr. Fukino also
gave an interview to CNN on April 26, 2011, in which she stated that she
simply went into the vault and inspected Mr. Obama’s original birth
certificate. By inference, then, it should have been no more difficult
for Governor Abercrombie to locate it as well.
- In July, 2009, Dr.
Fukino said she had seen “the original vital records maintained on file
by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama
was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American.” Again this
statement has no evidential value.
- As reported by Fox
News, Dr. Fukino said that during her time as Director of Health for
Hawaii Dr. Alvin Onaka, State Registrar of Hawaii, had moved Mr. Obama’s
birth certificate from a file vault, where bound books containing vital
records line the shelves in handwritten, leather-bound ledgers and
placed inside the vault’s 5-ft-tall gray metal combination and key lock
safe that holds money and other valuables. If so, Dr. Onaka could very
easily have alerted Governor Abercrombie to its whereabouts.
- In 2008 when
Governor Lingle stated, that in an attempt to quell the issue she had
the Birth Certificate inspected by the state’s Director of Health, Dr.
Chiyome Fukino:
- Mr. Onaka was the
Register at that time. Presumably the document was in the same bound
volume as the other 499 from that the year secured in his vault. The
question becomes what happened to it when Governor Abercrombie came
looking for it in 2011.
- Dr. Fukino said
that Mr. Obama’s long-form birth certificate was preserved in a
hard-covered bound volume along with the other long-form birth
certificates of that period. This record – if it had existed – would
have been easily obtainable from the Department of Health upon the
Governor’s request.
- Dr. Fukino also
said that Mr. Obama’s original Certificate of Live Birth was bound in a
ledger containing 499 other certificates of people born in Hawaii in
1961. There were 500 sheets per book, and 35 volumes of 1961 birth
records. The last series of digits in the registration number found on
Hawaiian long form and current computerized-format birth certificates
indicates which numbered volume contains the original document inside
the health department’s first-floor vault.
- She explained that
each of the bound volumes for the 1960s, including the one containing
Mr. Obama’s birth certificate, had bright orange elasticized canvas
covers with the birth year stamped clearly on the spine. Different
colors were used for different decades.
- The last few
digits in the registration number, which are correlated with the current
computerized database of information taken from the original paper
records, serve as a unique identifier allowing the volume containing the
original certificate to be found immediately in the vault.
- Therefore, it
should not have been at all difficult for Governor Abercrombie to locate
Mr. Obama’s original long-form birth certificate by simply asking the
Department of Health to look up the computerized record, check the
certificate number, and instantly locate the relevant volume of paper
certificates. His failure to locate the document raises the possibility
that Mr. Obama’s birth record may not have been in the relevant
orange-bound volume of 500 sequentially-numbered certificates, or that,
if it is present, it did not show him as having been born anywhere in
Hawaii.
- It is also
possible that Mr. Obama’s birth registration was not recorded, or that
the number on that registration did not correlate to his name in the
Department of Health’s computerized database that has been in use since
2001.
- We noted that Dr.
Fukino had changed the wording from viewing Mr. Obama’s “original birth
certificate” (in her first statement) to having “seen the original vital
records” (in her second statement).
- We later learned
that Hawaiian law permits amendment of a birth certificate and the
creation of a document file containing the sealed record of the original
document and supporting documentation that authorized a change to the
information contained in the original document. We also learned that an
amended certificate would be distinctly marked alerting to the fact it
was altered.
-
The wording suggests that perhaps there was a file of some type located within the Department of Health containing additional information regarding this matter, permissible under Hawaii State Statutes. But the file may not have contained an original birth certificate identical to the electronic image on the White House website.Hawaii State Practices Allow Fraudulent U.S. Citizenship
- Investigators
found a high potential for fraud in the registration and issuance of
Hawaii birth certification documents. It was discovered to be evident
in: 1) lax statutory regulation and 2) through obscure evidentiary
requirements in establishing factual verification of the information
required in the reporting of legitimate births occurring within the
state of Hawaii.
-
In 1982, Hawaii revised a long standing statute (§ 338.17.8) allowing the issuance of birth certificates to children born out of state. Hawaii declares these foreign born children to be American citizens simply by virtue of an application by any adult making representations on behalf of the parents, and simply supplying documentation substantiating the parents had resided in Hawaii and paid income tax to the state Hawaii for one year prior to the birth of the child. Thus, by statutory provision, Hawaii has granted upon itself the unique power to confer citizenship to children not born in the United States, and to children not born to United States citizen parents, but to children actually born on foreign soil.[§338-17.8] Certificates for Children Born Out of State.
- Upon application
of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the Director of
Health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided
that proof has been submitted to the Director of Health that the legal
parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State
of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal
residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or
adoption of such child.
-
Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the Director of Health in any manner that the Director shall deem appropriate. The Director of Health may also adopt any rules pursuant to Chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.
- Upon application
of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the Director of
Health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided
that proof has been submitted to the Director of Health that the legal
parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State
of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal
residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or
adoption of such child.
- The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to Chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]
-
These implications of this law is evidenced by the discovery of correspondence between the Department of Health Director George Yuen, in support of the measure, and State Representative Herbert A .Segawa. The March 1st 1982 document clearly shows the effect this proposed Bill H.B. 3016-82 would it have become law. The document recognized the fact that the department would have to issue birth certificates to children worldwide if the child’s parents could prove they were in fact legal residents of the Territory or State of Hawaii. Legal residents as categorized by Hawaii tax code, not Untied States citizens.
- There is nothing
in Hawaii Revised Statute § 338.17.8 to require that this birth
certificate be marked as the child being born out of state, nor that was
the child born within the United States or its territories. There is
no requirement in this statute that at least one parent provide proof of
United States citizenship.
- This section only
requires a declaration (and proof which is not defined and is based upon
requirements deemed appropriate by the Director) that the parents were
residents of Hawaii. It does not require that the parents were citizens
of the United States.
- By statutory
provision Hawaii has granted upon itself the unique power to confer
citizenship to children not born in the United States, and to children
not born to United States citizen parents, but to children actually born
on foreign soil. Conceivably, the parents and child may never have set
foot on United States soil. Hawaii declares these foreign born
children American citizens simply by virtue of an application of any
adult, making representations on behalf of the parents and simply
supplying documentation substantiating the parents had resided in Hawaii
and paid income tax to the state Hawaii, for one year prior to the
birth of the child.
- The authority to naturalize persons as citizens of the US is conferred upon the Attorney General only, not the State of Hawaii.
- It would appear
that Hawaii Revised Statute § 338.17.8 is in direct conflict with the
Immigration and Nationality Act, in that United States citizenship maybe
be conferred to an individual who is not entitled to such citizenship.
- See I.N.A. §§ 301,
et seq., which comprehensively regulates how a child born out of the
United States acquires U.S. Citizenship. Even this would require at
least on parent be a United States citizen at the time of the birth.
- This comprehensive regulation would clearly be meant to exclude any regulation in the area by the States. Arizona v. United States, 11-182 (June, 2012).
- Compulsory
registration of births, authorized by Hawaii Revised Law §57-8 requires
all births of be registered. It also permits the registration for an
unattended birth to be accepted on the representation of only one of the
parents. No other witnesses are necessary for a claimed unattended
birth. Conceivably, a parent could have given birth outside of the
U.S., and claimed that it was an unattended birth (no witnesses) in
Honolulu.
- Local registrar to
prepare birth certificate, authorized by Hawaii Revised Law §57-8 is
bristling with the fraudulent potential by compelling the local
registrar to prepare a birth certificate for an alleged unattended birth
based solely uncorroborated testimony from anyone claiming to have had
knowledge of the birth taking place.
- Under this
statute, a birth could exist outside of the U.S., and any person could
represent false information to the local registrar. The registrar is
compelled to file the certificate.
- Additionally,
there is no requirement for a parent or relative, providing
identification to be present at time of registration. Any person, a
relative, friend or stranger may registrar the birth of a child while
both the mother and baby were outside of the country.
-
There is no verification process and no way to be certain of the actual identify of the parents.H.R.S §338-6, Current Law as of October 25, 2009
- Delayed or altered
certificates, authorized by Hawaii Revised Law §57-18. Utilizing this
Statute, a person may apply for a delayed or amended certificate having
one year to do so from time of birth. There is no verification to
determine why the registration is late. The Statute also allows any
person “born” in the Territory of Hawaii to file or amend a certificate.
- This would include
that any adult could claim their birth was never reported a decade
later, file for a birth certificate. The validity of the three types of
birth filings were so questionable that even Hawaii would not accept
them as “Prima Facia Evidence”.
- This Statute would
require the birth certificate be plainly marked, “Delayed”, or
“Altered” and the probative value would determine by the official to
whom the certificate was being offered. We believe it is safe to
conclude that even the State of Hawaii did not have confidence in the
representations on this document.
- Investigators have advised Sheriff Arpaio that several possible crimes may have been committed:
- First, the fraudulent creation of an official document
- Second, the White House characterizing a forgery as an officially-produced governmental birth record; and
- Third,
Mr. Obama represented to the residents of Maricopa County and the
American public that a forgery was “proof positive” of his authentic
1961 Hawaiian long-form birth certificate, thereby deceiving voters and
state election commissions across the country into believing he was
eligible to become President, have his name appear on Presidential
ballots, thereby garnering votes from the public under false pretenses.
-
Accordingly, Sheriff Arpaio continues to recommend that the Congress of the United States open an immediate investigation, including the appointment of a select committee, as regards to the authenticity of Mr. Obama’s documentation, whether any crimes have been committed, and to determine Mr. Obama’s eligibility for the office of President of the Unites States.
Mr. Obama’s Selective Service Registration Card
- Investigators also
examined Mr. Obama’s Selective Service registration card bearing Mr.
Obama’s signature, which displays a Post Office Date stamp, “July 29,
80,” in the lower right corner. For comparison purposes, investigators
reviewed a number of authentic Selective Service registration cards of
other individuals, obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests.
- All the authentic
registration cards the investigators inspected displayed a Post Office
stamp indicating the calendar year date stamp with four digits, for
example “1980″. This was in sharp contrast to Mr. Obama’s card which
displayed a two digit date stamp of “80″ for the year.
- Investigators
interviewed several Post Office employees who verified that it was
standard procedure to utilize only a four digit date stamp.
Investigators learned that the date stamp that would have been utilized
in 1980 was identified as a Pica Post Office stamp set that could only
be obtained through postal supply houses.
- Investigators located that particular stamp set but were unsuccessful in locating a four digit 1980 date stamp insert.
- Noticing
irregularities in the date stamp, namely the date “80″ on Mr. Obama’s
registration card, it is offset low and to right when compared to the
full four digit “1980″ date stamps on other cards. Investigators
believed that this anomaly was created by the severing of an intact four
year “2008″ date stamp and inverting the remaining “08″ inverting it to
cause it to display “80″.
- Investigators
concluded that this representation of “80″ that appears on Mr. Obama’s
selective service card is in fact an altered 2008 pica date stamp.
-
Investigators obtained a 2008 Pica Post Office date stamp and severed it in between the two zeros. Then by inverting investigators were able to replicate an identical looking stamp to that one found on Mr. Obama selective service card. Investigators concluded that there is a high probability that Mr. Obama’s selective service card was recently created as an attempt to cover up the fact that Mr. Obama failed to register for Selective Service as required by law in 1980.Missing Immigration Records for August 1-7, 1961
- There has been
immense speculation that Mr. Obama may actually have been born in Kenya.
These speculations were fuelled not only by the refusal of Mr. Obama
to produce a valid Hawaiian birth certificate, but by recognition of the
Kenya government claiming Kenya as being Mr. Obama’s birth place.
There were numerous reports that Stanley Ann Dunham had reportedly left
Hawaii to travel to Kenya in the summer of 1961 to give birth.
- In an attempt to
verify whether Mr. Obama and his mother Stanley Ann Dunham had possibly
arrived in the United States at or around the alleged date of his birth,
we contacted the National Archives to obtain microfilms of the
immigration landing records (I-94 document) for the calendar year 1961.
- Investigators
focused on microfilm records of INS passenger cards for foreign flights
arriving in Honolulu during the time period of July 1961 through
September 1961.
- We discovered that
data records for the entire week of August 2, 1961 through August 7,
1961, were completely missing from the microfilm roll. This included the
alleged date of Mr. Obama’s birth (August 4, 1961).
- Investigators also
examined Mr. Obama’s Selective Service registration card bearing Mr.
Obama’s signature. They concluded that there is a high probability that
Mr. Obama’s selective service card was recently created as an attempt
to cover up the fact that Mr. Obama failed to register for Selective
Service as required by law in 1980.
- 1961 August 4,
7:24 pm – Barack Hussein Obama II was allegedly born in Kapiolani
Hospital, Honolulu, HI, according to the image of his long-form birth
certificate that is posted on the White House website. Birth certificate
number 61-10641.
- However, this has
been greatly debated due in part to initial reports that Mr. Obama was
reports to have been born in Queens Medical Center, in Honolulu Hawaii.
Inquiries were made at Queens Medical Center and authorities there
disclosed that they had no record of that event. Subsequently, a change
was made in the narrative alleging the birth place to now be Kapiolani
Hospital. While this may be an oversight other discrepancy surfaced
around the information visible on the .pdf file image released by the
White House.
- The serial number
shown on the image of the certificate, which purports on its face to
have been imposed on the form with an automated sequential numbering
stamp, is 61-10641. Investigators learned at that time, batches of
birth certificates were collected monthly, ordered by date and time of
birth, and then sequentially number-stamped in a special room by a
single clerk trained for the purpose, to minimize numbering errors.
- The long-form
original certificates were inspected twice for accuracy by two different
clerks and then signed by the registrar. They were kept together
secured in a certain room until they were all numbered at the end of the
month. They were not allowed to become out of order and they were not
numbered incorrectly. (It should be noted that the Nordyke twins were
born minutes apart and their respective certificate numbering was based
not only by date but by time as well. This indicates the clerk
scrutinized the documents prior to placing them in chronological order
for proper numbering.)
- Vital statistics
will show that Susan Nordyke was born at Kapiolani Hospital at 2:12
p.m. Hawaii time on Aug. 5, 1961, and was given No. 151-61-10637, which
was also filed with the Hawaii registrar Aug. 11, 1961.
- Gretchen Nordyke,
twin to Susan Nordyke, was born at Kapiolani Hospital at 2:17 p.m.
Hawaii time on Aug. 5, 1961, and was given No. 151-61-10638, which was
also filed with the Hawaii registrar Aug. 11, 1961.
- Barack Hussein
Obama II purportedly born at Kapiolani Hospital at 7:24 p.m. Hawaii,
Aug. 4, 1961, and was given No. 151-61-10641, which was filed with the
Hawaii registrar Aug. 8, 1961.
-
Virginia Sunahara was born at Wahiawa Hospital at 9:16 p.m. Hawaii time on Aug. 4, 1961, and was given No. 161-1961-011080, which was filed with the Hawaii registrar Aug. 10, 1961.Name of child Date and time born Registered Certificate #
Barack Obama Aug 4 at 7:24 pm Aug 8 10641
Virginia Sunahar Aug 4 at 9:16 pm Aug 10 11080
Susan Nordyke Aug 5 at 2:12 pm Aug 11 10637
Gretchen Nordyke Aug 5 at 2:17 pm Aug 11 10638
- 1961 August 4,
9:16 pm – Virginia Sunahara was born in Hawaii, according to her current
birth record. The serial number currently shown on Virginia Sunahara
short form Certificate of Live Birth as that of her birth record is
61-11080. This registration number is 439 numbers after Barack Hussein
Obama II.
- Some 17,578 births
occurred in Hawaii in 1961 – an average of about two births per hour.
Virginia Sunahara was born less than two hours after Barack Hussein
Obama II stated time of birth, so that the number that ought to have
appeared on her original birth certificate should have been not more
than a dozen either side of Barack Hussein Obama II 61-10641.
- Virginia Sunahara registration number is inexplicably out of sequence by 439 numbers.
- 1961 August 5 – Death of Virginia Sunahara after breathing complications at 8 PM
-
Mr. Obama’s birth certificate was registered August 8, 1961. The Nordyke twins’ birth certificate was registered August 11, 1961. Even if the sequential numbering had followed the date of registration rather than the date of birth, Mr. Obama’s certificate should have been automatically assigned a number lower, not higher, than the numbers allocated to the certificates of the Nordyke twins. And the number currently assigned to Ms. Sunahara is entirely out of sequence.Hawaii Newspaper Birth Announcements
- Investigators
conducted an exhaustive search of all birth records announced in the
Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin for the month of August 1961.
-
The following conclusions were reached:
- There was no
apparent consistency in the order or day with which each newspaper
reported birth announcements, such that one or the other of the two
newspapers would often lead or lag the other in the reporting of any
particular birth.
- Some births were announced in one newspaper and not in another.
- Some births were not announced at all.
- Births to unwed
mothers were omitted from reporting in either newspaper, even though
Hawaii vital statistics report there were over 1,000 births to unwed
mothers in 1961.
- There was no
apparent consistency in the order or day with which each newspaper
reported birth announcements, such that one or the other of the two
newspapers would often lead or lag the other in the reporting of any
particular birth.
-
A comparison of the Obama birth announcement in the two newspapers clearly demonstrates the announcements are identical in every detail, including the order of other birth announcements preceding and following the Obama birth announcement.
- We found the
sequence of reported births around the reporting of the Obama birth was
actually an anomaly for Hawaiian newspaper reporting in August 1961
because the sequence of births before and after Obama’s was one of the
few birth sequences in the entire month that were identical in every
detail, including the order of other birth announcements preceding and
following the Obama birth announcement.
-
We concluded that birth lists were in fact released by the Hawaii Department of Health, not information volunteered to the newspaper from parents or relatives, was the likely source of information for the newspaper birth announcement listing, in that:Neither newspaper had an editor that handled birth announcements;
- Both newspapers
merely printed birth announcements, directly as received, from
information published in Department of Hawaii vital statistics
announcements;
- Hawaiian hospitals did not report to newspapers any birth announcement information;
- Neither newspaper
independently checked the truthfulness or accuracy of birth announcement
information published by the newspapers from Hawaii Department of
Health vital statistics records.
- Both newspapers
merely printed birth announcements, directly as received, from
information published in Department of Hawaii vital statistics
announcements;
- Searching over a
several year period, various researchers have found repeated listings of
births to Japanese parents as being reported in the newspapers as
Hawaiian births, even though the children were found to be born in
Japan. These findings tend to reinforce what we learned on our visits to
Hawaii: that it was then the widely-recognized practice in Hawaii,
later regularized by statute, to certify foreign births to Hawaiian
parents as Hawaiian births.
- In 1961, the
Hawaii Department of Health appears to have used local area offices
outside Honolulu as reporting centers where parents and other family
members could represent children born to the family as Hawaiian births,
without submitting any proof the child was actually born in Hawaii. This
practice was also statutorily permitted.
- It is plausible
that an original birth record of some type for Mr. Obama may exist in
Hawaii. However, as noted elsewhere, our investigation has discovered
that at that time Hawaiian law contained a specific provision that
permitted a Hawaiian parent of a child born anywhere in the world or any
adult purporting to represent that parent, the right to register the
child as Hawaiian-born.
- It is for this
reason that two entries in the “Births” column of the local newspapers
at the time do not constitute evidence that Mr. Obama was born in
Hawaii. They are merely evidence suggesting that a birth certificate of
some type was issued for him in Hawaii, and they tell us nothing about
whether or not he was born there. In particular they do not – as the
White House document purports to do – identify the hospital of birth.
Hawaii law permits various forms of registration and supplementation at
later dates, with different information. The mere issuance of a birth
record does not confirm the birth took place within the state of Hawaii
or in the United States.
- If Mr. Obama had
not in fact been born in Hawaii, the long-form original birth
certificate would not have stated that he had been born in a particular
hospital at a particular time, and would not have borne the signatures
of the attending physician. The newspaper entries would have been
identical whether he had been born in Hawaii or elsewhere in the world,
but the birth records would not have been identical.
-
The existence of this law permitting out-of-country births to be registered as though they were Hawaiian births is a further evidence that he newspaper announcements of Mr. Obamas purported birth in Hawaii cannot and should not be relied on as any evidentiary validation of the event taking place as depicted by the manufactured .pdf file image released by the White House.Irregularities in the Parents’ Address
- B Obama (Kenya)
and Stanley Ann Dunham, President Obama’s alleged parents, did not live
together as man and wife at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway in Hawaii, the
birth address shown on the White House image as well as in the two birth
announcements for Barack Obama Jr. published in local newspapers at the
time.
- Both newspapers,
the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin, carried the announcement
that Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4, 1961, to Mr. and Mrs. Barack
H. Obama who resided at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway.
- Madelyn Dunham and
her daughter Stanley Ann lived at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway. There is
no evidence that B Obama Sr. lived there.
- Stanley Ann Dunham
and Barack H. Obama Sr. lived at two different addresses after their
marriage. Stanley Ann Dunham remained in the rented 6085 Kalanianaole
Highway after her marriage.
- B Obama Sr, lived
alone at an 11th Avenue address, closer to the university where he was a
student. It is reported that Stanley Ann Dunham left Hawaii in August
1961, the month of Barack Obama Jr.’s birth, taking him with her but
leaving her husband behind when she moved to Seattle to enroll at the
University of Washington.
- Whether B Obama
Sr. did not establish a residence with his wife and son in Hawaii is
unknown, there is no listing in the Polk directories for 1961 – 1962
that documents Stanley Ann Dunham and B Obama (Kenya) as ever having
lived at the same address.
-
A search of the Polk’s Directory of Honolulu for 1961-62 indicates that 6085 Kalanianaole Highway was being rented by the grandparents, Madelyn L. Dunham, listed as a loan interviewer and escrow agent at the Bank of Hawaii, and Stanley A. Dunham, listed as a manager with Pratt Furniture.
-
In a separate listing, Ann S. Obama, Mr. Obama’s mother, is identified as a student living at the 6085 Kalanianaole Highway address; Barack H. Obama, her husband, is listed as a student living at a separate address, his own apartment at 625 11th Avenue, closer to the University of Hawaii at Manoa:
- Polk’s Directory of City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii 1961-1962

unable to determine that B Obama (Kenya) and Stanley Ann Dunham Obama
ever lived together at any common address in Hawaii
- Much of Mr. Obamas
early life remains a mystery and is only revealed to the public through
an unsupported composite narrative. Instances exist where the narrative
of birth or other reported life time events have been called into
question and then the narrative is altered in an effort to clears up
discrepancy, but absent of any documentation supporting the change in
questionable facts.
- A thorough
background investigation supported by the release of life time
documentation would be necessary to strengthen the birth narrative
should it exist as depicted to the public.
- However, investigators have been hampered by the refusal of Mr. Obama to release any of his past records should they exist.
-
Record not released including the follow:
- Original, long-form 1961 Hawaiian birth certificate.
- Marriage license between Obama’s father (Barak Sr.) and mother (Stanley Ann Dunham)

- Obama’s adoption records
- Records of Obama’s and his mother’s repatriation as US citizens on return from return from Indonesia
- Obama’s baptism records

Date Michael Zullo
- There is nothing
in Hawaii Revised Statute § 338.17.8 to require that this birth
certificate be marked as the child being born out of state, nor that was
the child born within the United States or its territories. There is
no requirement in this statute that at least one parent provide proof of
United States citizenship.
