Making Shit Up: Act II

I noted earlier how The-Website-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named was going on about finding artifacts and whatever on the digital copy of Obama’s Birth Certificate and how it was basically a bunch of bullshit because their supposed artifacts weren’t there, and even if they were, the pixilization is so bad that you wouldn’t be able to reliably see it anyway.

I also noted this:

I also find it very convienient to them that they aren’t showing any close up views of the most important alledged anomalies.  The show zoom-ins of some artifacts which may be on the paper or due to pixilization somewher else randomly on the page, and they show a zoom in of an area with what the supposed replaced text was and thus destroying any possible anomalies that had been there, but no zoom in of the area unaltered.

Well, now they’re claiming that they’ve proven that the original birth certificate belonged to Obama’s sister:

Forensics specialist Techdude, who has been chipping away at the Obama Birth Certificate mystery for some time, has confirmed that the name on the original Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) which was used to forge the document presented by Barack Obama as his valid Birth Certificate IS:

Maya Kassandra Soetoro.

His sister.

So, we’ll be able to see the evidence and verify this right?  Wrong:

KG, a reader on the TexasDarlin blog, posted her/his discovery in the Comments section of this post, and detailed the technical process she/he followed to get there….

KG does not have the technical tools to immediately produce a report for publication, and is not sure he/she wants to be published.

But they promise to later:

In the coming days, Techdude will provide a final report that fully discloses his discovery, and provides all the fancy technical data, images, formulae etc. that everyone has come to expect.

I’m not holding my breath, even if they do post it.  In any case, I’ll check out their supposed process as posted in the comment thread and show once again that it is bullshit.

Update

They can’t even agree on how it was forged.  Techdude thinks that text was deleted and replaced and is using “artifacts” to show what letters are there.  Meanwhile, Polarik argues that the old data on the supposed original was completely copied over, and then text was put on it.

Now, both of these hypothesi cannot be true.

And as noted by the commenters, the alledged real birth certificate belonged to Barack’s sister Maya, according to TechDude, even though she was born in Indonesia.  Now, I suppose it’s possible that she was able to get a Hawaiian birth certificate somehow, but that’s a hard sell, unless it’s somewhat standard procedure to get a new birth certificate from the state you live in if you were born overseas and move to the US (I don’t know whether this is the case or not).

In any case, you can follow both TechDude’s and Polarik’s instructions and basically see shit, so I’m awaiting their “full” report.

Update 2

Oh god, not allowing occam’s razor to get in the way, apparently they’re now saying that Obama’s mother illegally got his sister a Hawaiian birth certificate in Hawaii when they moved there.

So here are the claims:

1) Maya has a birth certificate from Hawaii, which should be illegal

2) Obama used this illegal birth certificate as a template to forge his own birth certificate

I mean, seriously?

Desperate Much?

OK, I found it hilarious that Paris Hilton responded, making fun of McCain’s ‘Celeb’ ad (and his age I might add):

Obama’s campaign pretty much had the proper response to this ad:

Whatever.

However, McCain’s campaign felt compelled to actually respond to it:

It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain’s ‘all of the above’ approach to America’s energy crisis – including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan.

The fact that McCain actually seriously responded to Paris’ ad basically should be reacted to with derision and just overall pointing and laughing hysterically.

And, of course, Paris doesn’t support McCain’s plan.  One, McCain has said nothing about “limited offshore drilling, with strict environmental oversight” and in fact basically supports “drilling anywhere” (well, except maybe ANWR…for now anyway) and has basically said zero about alternative energy (well other than the dumb $300 million prive for the super-battery which will probably go to Japan or China or someone like that).
