Typewriter kerning (proportional spacing) existed in 1941 [updated]

In the interest of getting to the objective truth of the Obama birth certificate matter, I want readers to know that typewriter “proportional spacing” which is basically the same thing as kerning, actually did exist as early as 1941. Jerome Corsi and others skeptical of the Obama “long form” birth certificate have stated that font kerning is a trait that only computers can produce (and thus couldn’t be present in Obama’s birth cert), but actually some IBM typewriters used proportional spacing as early as 1941,

If you really examine the birth certificate closely, there are no good examples of letters kerned to a degree that exceeds the capabilities of a typewriter with proportional spacing.  The slight overlap in characters can be explained by shifting paper on a slippery typewriter roller, the use of proportional spacing, and/or ink bleed.

Font kerning itself is not proof of forgery.  I was one of the first to publish my doubts of the birth certificate’s authenticity, but have never claimed to be 100% sure it’s a fake. As a graphics expert, the furthest I’m willing to go (still) is to state that the document has been heavily altered but alteration does not prove forgery.

Don’t get me wrong. The document still is *probably* a fake but let’s not go too far out a on a limb with the kerning issue. Mike Rivero of What Really Happened recently told me he was not going to pursue the birth certificate any further because “Obama is a citizen, and the certificate is to cover up his mother’s youthful indiscretions and therefore irrelevant politically.”

Whatever the purpose behind it, I’m giving it about an 85% chance of being a forgery and 100% chance of being altered digitally, beyond just the process of creating a simple bitmap image from a source document or film.  Alteration is certain, and any alteration casts serious doubt on the authenticity.

Imagine though, the White House has a real birth certificate, scans, performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) in Adobe Acrobat and thus vectorizes and layers the type objects. Then they put some silly “security” background on it, and release it just to mess with people.   It could be a psyop designed to divide the American people along ethnic and ideological lines, then they come out and discredit their opposition by releasing the real document for forensic analysis, “proving” that their opposition was making assumptions just because of the color of Obama’s skin and thus discrediting many jouranlists who took the poison pill as racists.

Maybe that scenario gives them too much credit.  While the presence of proportional spacing by itself does not prove forgery, in all probability they really did sneak their dual citizen Barry Soetoro in there to carry out a globalist agenda, and these birth certificates really are fake.

This issue is still somewhat important because it opens the door for people like the Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger, who admires Hitler and dreams of being a dictator, to be president.  This is why the Constitution allows only natural born citizens to be president- because we don’t want any foreign nationals selling us out to foreign powers.  Unfortunately President Soetoro is no more or less of a globalist than Bush.   Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Jerome Corsi on AJ: Long form Obama birth certificate is fake

Watch Corsi’s full interview with Alex Jones below.

Obama’s long form birth certificate is computer generated, proves nothing

Latest document published by White House no more convincing than previous version.

The White House’s attempt at Obama’s official long form birth certificate contains several inconsistencies that scream “computer generated.” This should come as no surprise, because a copy of the written correspondence with the State of Hawaii Heath Dept they released states that it is a “computer generated certified copy.”

Now I have no idea what kind of jerry-rigged scanning system they could be using to “generate” this supposed copy of what should be a paper or microfilm document, by performing vector compression or OCR on it, then extracting and overlaying text on a faux-3d background (see below).  Because this document is so different from other known real examples of birth certificates from the same place and time, it’s very difficult to believe it’s a real copy.

It would be unusual in graphics or office-speak to refer to a copy of anything as computer generated.  Say “computer generated copy” in your head a few times. It’s almost an oxymoron.  It would also be entirely pointless for any Health Department to store such low quality, doctored images of birth certificates, since these documents are supposed to represent official proof of a person’s birth.

Click image for full size:

While this whole birth certificate operation has been very creative, it fails on a number of counts. As  Smoking Gun points out, the lack of contour in the green patterned background in the shadowed curling section on the left, where we see a shadow that is supposed to look like paper curling away from the scanner is impossible.  If this computer generated “paper” curls down, the pattern should also curl down. This is a geometrically incorrect feature which at least proves that the background is CGI (Computer Generated Imagery).

I loaded the PDF file in in Adobe Illustrator and discovered that pieces of text have also been vectorized to layers, possibly an artifact of Adobe PDF OCR (Optical Character Recognition), although the OCR didn’t recognize one single character in the document, so that didn’t do them any good.

Stay with me for a minute and examine the high res images linked from the above thumbnails carefully, especially the one with everything but the background layer removed (top right image). You’ll notice that the signature and a few other elements are stuck in the background layer, while the typed text is on separate layers.  Tell me, if there were no characters extracted from the image by OCR, why wouldn’t it have just lifted all the black areas off the background consistently?  Why is the big 1 in the upper right corner still in the background?  I don’t know if OCR provides a sufficient explanation for these anomalies.  This could be a combination of another person’s birth certificate with the proper signatures, and Obama’s information.  Or it could just be a very unnecessary way to doctor up an image.

If the Hawaiian birth certificate really exists, how hard can it be for them to produce a regular old 300 dpi bitmap scan? We all know it’s a simple process.  Just load the document and push scan.  There’s no need to OCR the image into layers or use a background with unrealistic perspective, impossible shadows, or unsharp mask filter. What’s the point of saving a copy of something if it can’t even be considered a copy?  This document has FAKE written all over it.

I have my doubts that Obama will ever be able to produce a real-looking birth certificate, unless he sends off to Kenya to get a plain old paper copy of the original one like this guy claims he did, or he utilizes some intelligence agency document forgers to create one with a more vintage look.  Hopefully they’ll come up with something better than fake Bin Laden videos, NAU Amero currency hoaxes, or BP oil spill Photoshop artwork.

If Obama’s Mother was American, that makes him American in my book.  I’m not debating whether the Constitutional requirement that a president be a naturalized citizen is right or wrong here. I’m just saying it is fishy that he can’t produce any real-looking copy of a birth certificate, and as Wayne Madsen says, his family has been deeply involved with intelligence agencies. He was the perfect Manchurian candidate- groomed by spooks, American enough on the surface but allegiances obviously lie elsewhere, and has just enough royal blue blood to satisfy the shape shifting reptoids from planet Nibiru (kidding).

This could all be an elaborate poison pill trolling operation, and they may yet release a high res version of a real birth certificate in the future just to discredit all of us who have spent time pursuing this issue, but at this point, that seems unlikely. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck… My money’s still on Kenya.

Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate

Orly Taitz and crew are back again, this time supposedly with Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Soeharko Obama or whatever-his-name-is’s birth certificate from Kenya.

I doubt this will go anywhere, because anyone who was willing to accept that half-assed non-notarized birth certificate from Hawaii they put out could easily dismiss this and say it’s fake.

Funny how you can’t get on a plane without 43 forms of ID and being x-rayed or molested, yet this man gets in control of our entire military without showing any kind of ID.  This goes to show how presidents are groomed and chosen long in advance without regard to law.

Obama Just Got His Private Army

Nancy Matthis
American Daughter
March 28, 2010

Remember when Obama said he wanted a “national security force”? Not the national guard, but a civilian one that has not sworn to uphold the Constitution? On July 2, 2008 in a speech in Colorado Springs, Barack Obama called for a police state.

Remember that first alarming glimpse of what that army might look like? Notice how much these “Hitler youth” type young men talk about health care!

Obama just got his private army…

…And no one seems to have noticed. It is buried in the Senate revisions to the health care bill.

Obama has suspicious number of letter-writing fans named ‘Ellie Light’

By Sabrina Eaton, The Plain Dealer
January 22, 2010

Ellie Light sure gets around.

In recent weeks, Light has published virtually identical “Letters to the Editor” in support of President Barack Obama in more than a dozen newspapers.Every letter claimed a different residence for Light that happened to be in the newspaper’s circulation area.

“It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything,” said a letter from alleged Philadelphian Ellie Light, that was published in the Jan. 19 edition of The Philadelphia Daily News.A letter from Light in the Jan. 20 edition of the San Francisco Examiner concluded with an identical sentence, but with an address for Light all the way across the country in Daly City, California.

Associated PressPresident Barack Obama has both detractors and fans. A curious number of his fans are named Ellie Light.Variations of Light’s letter ran in Ohio’s Mansfield News Journal on Jan. 13, with Light claiming an address in Mansfield; in New Mexico’s Ruidoso News on Jan. 12, claiming an address in Three Rivers; in South Carolina’s The Sun News on Jan. 18, claiming an address in Myrtle Beach; and in the Daily News Leader of Staunton, Virginia on Jan. 15, claiming an address in Waynesboro. Her publications list includes other papers in Ohio, West Virginia, Maine, Michigan, Iowa, Pennsylvania and California, all claiming separate addresses.

Light – who e-mailed an identical missive to this reporter on Jan. 16 without listing a hometown – would not answer e-mailed questions about the address discrepancies in newspapers that ran her letter, or her identity, although she did say she wasn’t a former co-worker of this reporter’s who had a similar name.“I do not write as a representative of any organization,” she said in an e-mail. “The letter I wrote was motivated by surprise and wonderment at the absence of any media support for our President, who won a record-breaking election by a landslide less than 18 months ago, and now, seems to be abandoned by all, supposedly for the infantile reason that he couldn’t make all of Bush’s errors disappear in one day.”

University of Missouri journalism professor Tom Rosenstiel, co-author of a textbook on journalistic values titled “The Elements of Journalism,” reacted with surprise and wonderment upon learning of Light’s widespread publication under multiple addresses.

He said newspapers might be able to avoid similar situations in the future by requesting street addresses and home telephone numbers from would-be correspondents, and verifying that those addresses and phone numbers exist.

“Just because it is inconvenient for us in the news business to find out who people are doesn’t mean it isn’t important anymore,” Rosenstiel said. “It is not OK for people to have multiple identities. This is something that people in the news business and in the business of printing “letters to the editor” need to be aware of.”

The Plain Dealer asks letter writers for a phone number for verification purposes.

This story was first posted at 4:54 p.m. Jan. 21.

Update: “Ellie Light” responded to this story in the comments below. Here’s what she had to say, and reporter Sabrina Eaton’s response.

EllieLight:

I did answer Ms. Eaton’s questions about addresses and the letter’s authenticity. She identified herself as a journalist who covers Washington. There was lots to write about this week, for example Teddy Kennedy’ seat falling to a Republican, or the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing corporations to donate unlimited funds to causes they support. Both those events portend unimaginable consequences for democracy in this country. And Ms. Eaton, a “Washington” journalist, decides to spend a few minutes pasting snippets of letters into Google and come up with a story about a letter writer. I’m sure such domesticity and small-mindedness would make Sarah Palin quite proud.

Sabrina Eaton:

I reported the item about you over several days in the spare moments I had between writing about yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling, today’s presidential visit to Ohio, and other national news that affects Ohio. That’s why there was a bit of a delay between our email exchange and the publication of this item. I do have plenty of work to do. But I also thought your successful publication in multiple newspapers using multiple hometowns was newsworthy

Your emails to me did not explain how you appeared to have so many addresses. I will reproduce them below, to satisfy the curiosity of any reader who might care:

MY INITIAL EMAIL

From: SABRINA EATON

To: Ellie Light

Sent: Mon, January 18, 2010 1:05:57 PM

Subject: Questions on your recent “letters to the editor” omnipresence

Dear Ellie

My name is Sabrina Eaton and I’m a reporter in the DC Bureau of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ohio’s largest newspaper. Years ago, I had an entry-level reporting job at the Bergen Record in New Jersey. A more experienced reporter there was named Ellie Light, and I wondered if you were the same person. I sent you an email about this a few days ago and got a reply back with the single letter “s,” and didn’t know what to make of it. So I did a “Google” search on you, as well as one on Lexis-Nexis, and was surprised at what I found.

This email of yours has apparently been published in scads of newspapers. Each of them lists you as residing in their circulation area. How can you simultaneously reside in Kellogg (Michigan), Midland (Michigan), Follansbee (W.Va.), Myrtle Beach (S.C), Waynesboro (Va), Vallejo (Ca.), Mansfield (OH), Salinas (Ca), and Three Rivers (N.M.)? I also found your Haiti email printed in the paper in Lebanon, (PA). That one claimed you reside in Cornwall.

How did your missive end up in all these different publications, citing all these different residences for you? Where do you actually live? What do you actually do for a living? Are you sending these emails at the behest of any organization or politician? Are you the same Ellie Light who was once a reporter for the Bergen Record? Please respond ASAP because I plan to write about this.

Sincerely,

Sabrina Eaton

Plain Dealer, DC Bureau

ELLIE LIGHT’S INITIAL RESPONSE

>> Ellie Light 1/19/2010 12:20 AM >>>

Ms. Eaton,

I’m not the Ellie Light that reported in New Jersey. I suppose it’s a common name. I do not write as a representative of any organization. The letter I wrote was motivated by surprise and wonderment at the absence of any media support for our President, who won a record-breaking election by a landslide less than 18 months ago, and now, seems to be abandoned by all, supposedly for the infantile reason that he couldn’t make all of Bush’s errors disappear in a day. I think the wide interest in my letter is because of that vacuum, the appalling absence of support for the man we so recently, overwhelmingly elected.

Ellie

A SECOND EMAIL EXCHANGE:

After sending you this initial email on Jan. 18, I realized I hadn’t enclosed my telephone number, so I sent you a second email that gave you my phone number, if you wanted to call me up. Your reply to that email said:

ELLIE LIGHT’S SECOND RESPONSE:

>>> Ellie Light 1/19/2010 12:46 AM >>>

Ms. Eaton,

I just saw that you included your phone number as well, and for such enthusiasm, I should probably provide you with a further explanation, instead of being quite so coy. In my other letter to you, I said I was disheartened by the lack of support for the President. But perhaps more importantly, the lack of thorough, well-reasoned arguments that can be found on both sides of this issue. As I’m sure you’ve observed, Obama became quickly as polarizing has Hilary ever was, and few people can see past their emotions on the issue. Most public discourse includes terms like “Wingnut,” “Drink the Kool-aid,” “Socialist” and other far less polite terms. I get called “trash” and “Crypto-Stalinist,” not only by the Sarah Palin fans, but by The Left, who is furious at The Prez for not opening up the health care debates to CSPAN cameras.

So the reason why I expanded my submission was because I found that editors were eager to present a point of view on the topic that wasn’t so overheated and angry. Indeed, I think the viewpoint that my letter expressed was less important to the editors than the even and non-emotional tone.

A FOLLOW-UP EMAIL FROM ME:

Because this email also failed to anwer my questions about the multiple addresses, I wrote you the below email, to which there was no reply:

Thanks for your response. But why did all those letters say you lived in all those different places? It seems quite peculiar.

PDD 51 & New Executive Order Give Obama Dictator Power

Last roadblocks to martial law in the United States eliminated

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Monday, January 18, 2010

An Obama executive order that creates a council of state governors who will work with the feds to expand military involvement in domestic security, together with PDD 51, a Bush era executive order that gives the President dictatorial power in times of national emergency, eliminate the last roadblocks to declaring martial law in the United States.

The new order, which is entitled Establishment of the Council of Governors (PDF), creates a body of ten state governors directly appointed by Obama who will work with the federal government to help advance the “synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States”.

The governors will liaise with officials from Northcom, Homeland Security, the National Guard as well as DoD officials from the Pentagon “in order to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State governments,” according to the executive order.

The exective order combines seamlessly with Presidential Decision Directive 51 to hand Obama dictator status in times of declared, and not necessarily genuine, national emergency.

In May 2007, former President George W. Bush sparked much alarm by openly declaring himself to be a dictator in the event of a national emergency under provisions that effectively nullify the U.S. constitution, but such an infrastructure has been in place for over 70 years and this merely represented a re-authorization of martial law powers.

Legislation signed on May 9, 2007, declares that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power.

The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, which also places the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic “security”, was signed earlier without the approval or oversight of Congress and seemingly supercedes the National Emergency Act which allows the president to declare a national emergency but also requires that Congress have the authority to “modify, rescind, or render dormant” such emergency authority if it believes the president has acted inappropriately.

Journalist Jerome Corsi, who studied the directive, also states that it makes no reference to Congress and “its language appears to negate any requirement that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists.”

In July 2007, Congressman Peter DeFazio (D – OR) was asked by his constituents to see what was contained within the classified portion of the White House’s plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack.

Since DeFazio also sits on the Homeland Security Committee and has clearance to view classified material, the request would have appeared to be routine, but the Congressman was unceremoniously denied all access to view the documents, and the White House wouldn’t even give an excuse as to why he was barred.

“I just can’t believe they’re going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack,” DeFazio told the Oregonian.

“We’re talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America,” DeFazio says. “I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee.”

“Maybe the people who think there’s a conspiracy out there are right,” DeFazio concluded.

These new powers have now been handed over to President Obama, allowing him, along with a body of councillors personally selected by him, to declare martial law without there necessarily being a genuine national emergency, greasing the skids for U.S. troops and National Guard to conduct domestic policing of the American people.

In October 2008, Northcom, a Unified Combatant Command of the United States military based out of Peterson AFB, Colorado Springs, was assigned the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team returning from Iraq. An alarming September 8 Army Times report which was later denied after it sparked controversy stated that the troops would be used by Northcom to deal with “civil unrest and crowd control” in the aftermath of a national emergency.

The Obama executive order states that governors will help advise the feds on National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.

The fact that the order further blurs the lines between state and federal power, as well as greasing the skids for more military involvement in domestic affairs has stoked fears that Obama may be laying the groundwork for his promised “national civilian security force”.

Conservatives and libertarians responded to the announcement by expressing their suspicion that Obama is preparing to give governors their marching orders in targeting “anti-government” types that have long been characterized as a terrorist threat by the feds in numerous reports stretching back over a decade.

“There is a definite purpose to this,” wrote one commenter on the popular Free Republic website, “The initial steps toward a domestic “Civilian Security Force” in each state, as called for by the fascisti during the campaign. It will be coordinated at the state level, under the authority of DHS and DoD and assorted agencies. The provision will be made for it to be “federalized” in an emergency, as is the National Guard.”

“This is a concrete step toward eliminating the independent authority and dissolving the sovereignty of the several States. It lays the groundwork for the end of the United States as a Republic,” she adds.

Others warn that Obama could be preparing to cancel elections under the justification of a national emergency, a fear that was often expressed when Bush was in office but one that never materialized.

However, the executive order clearly represents another assault on Posse Comitatus, the 1878 law that bars the military from exercising domestic police powers, which was temporarily annulled by the 2006 John Warner National Defense Authorization Act before parts of it were later repealed.
