Thread: Sheriff Arpaio's posse to review Obama BC

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona has constituted a special law enforcement posse to investigate allegations brought by members of the Surprise, Ariz., Tea Party that the birth certificate Barack Obama released to the public April 27 might be a forgery, WND has learned.

The posse, under the authority of Arpaio's office, will consist of two former law enforcement officers and two retired attorneys, headed by Michael Zullo, a retired police detective originally from Bergen County, N.J.

WND confirmed with Zullo and with Arpaio's office that the investigation into the Obama birth certificate has been sanctioned fully by Arpaio's office. The investigation, they said, will be conducted with "utmost diligence," and the investigators will be authorized to utilize subpoena power.

The BC released by the White House was a fake. Anyone with marginal graphics skills and Adobes Illustrator can tell. If anyone here is interested in examining the digital document itself, here's a link to a free trial of Adobe Illustrator. Adobe - Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 PM me and I will send you the original digital document that was posted by the White House, I downloaded it the day it was posted. You can find a number of Youtube movies out there and if you follow the same steps they do, you will get the same results. Blowing it up to about 800% in any graphic program will show many flaws, the biggest one being 'kerning'. Kerning is a function of a word processor. It squeezes letters together so parts of them overlap, a typewriter will not do this. Magnification also shows where handwriting was done with a digital pen. If you look closely at his mothers signature, you will see heavy black lines in parts of it. Another flag is the number of layers in the image when it should only have one layer, called the background layer. For those of you that aren't familiar with digital graphics, they are created using what's called layers. Have a look at the header image Jamie has up of the USS Liberty. The background layer is the ship and the water. Jamie created a new layer for the White News Now text and another layer for the little globe. By using layers, it allows you to manipulate particular items without having to manipulate the entire image. It also allows you to overlap images or text in your graphics by arranging the layer sequence.

Here's an image I captured in Illustrator. http://www.badsquad.com/pics/obamalongform.png It's magnified to 300%. You can see the kerning in places like the word Kenya in block 11 and student in block 12a. I also have one of the layers turned off in blocks 20 and 22. Notice how some of the date is missing in both boxes. Look how dark parts of his mothers signature is. This screenshot is only part of the document, at the very bottom of the whole document it says this document is a "True Copy or Abstract of the record on file". To me an abstract is a reproduction and not an original. I highly doubt anyone will ever see the "original" or "abstract" in paper form.
