Here, in like 20 minutes, honolulu changed to kenya, halo and all.....
Step 4, take the K from above clone and resize a bit. Here you have it, honolulu to kenya, halo effect and all.
Keep in mind this took me a wopping 20 minutes... They had how long to slap this together?
The difference in opinion is here I guess. You assume it is number two, I say as long as number one is possible, how can this be taken as viable evidence?

Again:
Ivan, one of two possible explanation for the pattern of layers--
A) "Someone was changing the content of both the text and the stamps."
Sinnthia--
B) "His (Ivan's) conclusion is that the information remained the same from before the changes to after the changes."
If these two assertions, Aand B, can coexist in the real world, then I must be residing elsewhere.

An enlargement shows that there is a white halo around most of the printing on the Certificate. It has
been suggested that these “suspicious white borders” indicate that items were pasted into the image.
The pasting of content itself does not necessarily create a white border. A more likely reason for this
Halo effect is that the text was enhanced.
It is a common practice when enhancing a document with text on a dark background to set off black text
with a white border to increase the contrast. If we look at the base layer, that appears to be exactly
what has occurred. The base layer of the document has a separate white outline for most of the text.
This suggests that the
overlays where created to enhance that content (ie. make the text darker and/or the edges sharper).

I lean towards BHO politically, but I also believe that the truth is more important and a higher end in and of itself than any political considerations.
That being said, the more I look at this document, the greater the sinking feeling I am getting. This document does look manipulated.The thing I noticed right off the bat, and if others have pointed this out somewhere else on this gigantic thread my apologies, is that all of the text, which has indeed been layered from the background, has a white drop shadow behind it, as if to enhance its readability. I don't believe this is a result of aliasing. This looks like something I would intentionally do to make the text pop a little. It is a very common technique.
I might be able to overlook this if it was on just the parts of this document that I assume were generic and pre-printed, but it is on the field text as well, where BHO's unique info was inserted. What gives?
If this is forged, why the hell didn't they flatten and rasterize the document prior to generating the PDF?edit on 27-4-2011 by Elbereth because: typo

Great news! I am now in ethereal contact with Ivan Zatkovich via the Great Cosmic Melchizedekian Switchboard. He assures all my arguments are in perfect alignment with his forensic document analysis of Obama's new BC.
If you doubt my claim, I will type out my telepathic communications with Ivan and cut and paste them into a post as unassailable proof of the reality of my communications with him (by "him" I am referring to Ivan Zatkovich).
Thank you over and out.
I would be happy to discuss any information I provided to ABC and WorldNetDaily that is currently appearing on WND. I did not state that any document was ‘fake’. But I did provide specific evidence that the document was modified /enhanced. I would be happy to provide the same report to you as I did to ABC.
Even though the WND article seems to somewhat sensationalize the information I provided, there is no speculation here. Just simple forensics.
If you have any other questions you may call me directly.

Subject: Obama Birth certificate analysis
I am part of a discussion group that has presented a WND article about you and Obama's birth certificate. I was wondering if you could clear up that you found his birth certificate to be a fake, that was created in a photoshop type program as per the WND article. Reason being, WND has come into question as a verifiable source. Thanks for any reply.
Here’s the report I provided to ABC/ WorldNetDaily. I think you should find it pretty straight forward. After you read the report, if you still have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them.

Labelling one third of the entire population of the USA with an epithet as stupid sounding as "Birther" just goes to show you how people will denigrate something they disagree with anyway they can.
Its just as bad as if I called all black people Darkies or all asians Chinks. I really hate the word Birther. Cant we just say something like "people who believe the President may be ineligible?"
These people with these opinions are not uneducated conspiracy theorists they have a valid point. It is merely another hole in the dike that is the corrupt governing system. And even if it subconscious, labelling people you disagree with merely leads to more fragmentation and passive subservience to the system that is not serving you and never will.

Well, great!! Now can we all agree and demand an investigation? I mean common no one knows whether they are coming or going now, but one thing I think we should all be able to admit is that there should be some clarification on the whole matter! If you feel that he is legit or not, it is worth finding out for sure, for the sake of our country, don't you think? Would you let a child molester babysit for your daughter or son if they were accused of being a child molester? Even if there was no proof? Would you be comfortable in taking that chance? ANY question of his past should be looked into at this point!!!4

THAT sounds like a witch hunt. First of all, the BC is an important issue, but then you say that it doesn't matter if it's legitimate or not.
Someone has an agenda and is willing to ignore facts to get what they want...
You don't get to see the original BC. You never will and there's not a thing you can do about it. This is a prime example why the birther label hurts so much. There's no "proof" that the BC is fake. But on a technicality, the BC could be labeled as fake because it's an electronic representation of his BC.
But that would just be another way of getting around the whole "facts" thing to get what you want.
No matter what anyone says the issue of the birth certificate is a big deal. Obama has been asked repeatedly for over two years to produce the long form BC. He himself has stated that it does not exist, just the short form cert of live birth he already has shown and is worthless for proving where he was born. And the governor of Hawaii said he would find the long form and settle the matter once and for all. He searched for two weeks and came up empty handed.
Now, on the eve of the release of a damning book he suddenly "finds" a non existent document; that alone smells like a whole barrel full of rotting fish.
Plenty of evidence has been submitted to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the released long form BC was manipulated in Illustrator or a similar compatible program. I am not going to rehash all of that here. Those who can see the evidence don't need more convincing and those who refuse to see will not be convinced.
What I am going to say is that we live in a constitutionally controlled republic with a set of laws. When we abandon the constitution and our laws for the convenience of keeping our heads blissfully in the sand we are abdicating our right and duty to uphold those things.
Right now I am going to state that at this point it does not matter if the BC is legitimate or not. Enough suspicion has been raised that it is indeed a fake to not only justify, but demand, an investigation. If we let this slide off the edge of the page and forget about it we are headed down a slippery slope into a future where the PTB can literally do anything they want without question regardless of the legality of their actions.

Please feel free to disregard this but I am so confused by all this technical talk. I was offered this .PNG image of the same BC but with a new alteration showing how easy it is to recreate all that you found with new text. If you can just tell me offhand, great. I am not asking for your time or energy at all. If it takes more than a thought, do not bother. I just had to ask as I am very confused by all this. Thank you.
I don’t think they reviewed my report. The report indicates that changes could have been made. But the pattern of changes suggests that the focus was on enhancing the legibility of the text, not in changing the content of the text.
I hope this clarifies.

Obviously we will have to disagree. I have no intention of synopsizing the evidence contained on this thread for your convenience. Do a little digging yourself.

There is quite a bit of evidence on this thread that the Obama BC is a fake. Buck up and take a look before pompously spouting off.edit on 2-5-2011 by Elbereth because: typo, clarity and word choice
