A Question of Legitimacy
Is Barack Obama the Bona Fide President
of the United States?
Introduction: Today Barack Hussein Obama sits in the
Oval Office, enjoying the title of President of the United
States, and undeniably he is the de facto President, having
received a majority of the electoral votes in the election
of November 2008. But is he the de jure President? Is he
a man, regardless of the vote, who is constitutionally
qualified to occupy the White House? Or has he achieved
his position through fraud and deceit? Have his actions
actually constituted a felony actionable under criminal
law? It is to these questions that this white paper is
addressed.
The Constitution is clear on the requirements for a person
to be President. He must be at least 35 years of age, have
lived in the United States for at least 14 years, and be a
natural born citizen.1 From the beginning, questions have
arisen concerning Obama’s birth status and whether he was a
natural born citizen. But very few, especially those in
the best positions to raise the legitimate questions, have
dared to do so. Most prominent persons, as well as the
mainstream media, have assiduously eschewed the eligibility
question.
In a form letter to constituents, Alabama’s Senator Jeff
Sessions wrote,
I believe that President Obama has met all of the requirements
of citizenship as set forth by the U. S. State Department, and
therefore is eligible for the office of the presidency. (See
Exhibit 1.)
Apart from being in error on the fundamental question of
Obama’s eligibility, this letter is curious in its
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 6/39
2
implication that the State Department, not the
Constitution, sets the requirements for eligibility to
serve as President.
Senator Richard Shelby, also of Alabama, wrote a similar,
although much more emphatic, letter. He said,
President Obama’s birth certificate was presented during his
presidential campaign and again in April of 2011. This birth
certificate has been verified and confirmed by Hawaiian
officials and serves as valid proof of his citizenship.
Federal officials have also validated it. I am confident that
President Obama is eligible for the Presidency, and any matters
relating to the issue have been thoroughly examined. (See
Exhibit 2.)
This letter from a United States Senator is embarrassingly
asunder from the facts:
• The senator speaks of “the” birth certificate,
implying that the same certificate was released twice. But
there were two very different certificates released, the
fake “Short Form” during the campaign, and the fake “Long
Form” in April of 2011.
• The “birth certificate” has not been verified or
confirmed by Hawaiian officials. They have claimed thatthey have somewhere in their records a bone fide birth
certificate, but they have cleverly avoided saying that
what they have, and what Obama is displaying, are one and
the same.
• There is no “valid proof” of Obama’s citizenship.
Even if there were, it would not necessarily prove that he
was a natural born citizen.
• The senator is certainly right when he says that
matters pertaining to Obama’s eligibility “have been
thoroughly examined,” but not in the sense he intends it.
Such matters have not been examined at all by those
officials having responsibility to do so. In contrast to
this gross nonfeasance, however, they have been thoroughly
examined by skilled and responsible private citizens, and
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper

the reader may look forward to seeing those results in what
follows.
In fairness to our two senators we must say that they are
not alone. Many other high-ranking officials, as well as
most in the media, and a large segment of the generalpopulation, have been beguiled by Barack Obama’s wile, to
the extent that even his political opponents sometimes
sound like counsel for his defense.
Being among the un-beguiled, however, we believe that the
time is ripe for a serious appeal to the consciences of
patriots to use their voices, and to those elected to
positions of authority to use their offices to make right
that which is so clearly wrong. Now there is a wealth of
credible forensic, circumstantial, and anecdotal evidenceawash in the alternative media, and it points clearly to
fraud, forgery, and deceit.
Using these sources we will present convincing evidence
that Obama’s eligibility is based on fraudulent
documentation for which he bears responsibility, and that
he therefore is not the legally elected President, and may
well be guilty of a felony.
The Short-Form Birth Certificate: During the 2008
presidential campaign demands were made to see the birth
certificate of John McCain, which he promptly produced.
With the question of birth certificates floating in the
air, demands to see Barack Obama’s birth certificate were
soon heard, but there was initially no response from the
Obama campaign. On June 12, 2008, however, the pro-Obama
website Daily Kos published what they called the
candidate’s birth certificate.2 (See Exhibit 3.) The
provenance of this document is lost in the fog of politics,
but in any event, almost immediately Obama’s website
published the same document and labeled it “Barack Obama’s
Official Birth Certificate.” In subsequent discussions
this has been referred to as the “Short-Form Birth
Certificate,” or “Short Form,” or “COLB,” since it is
headed “Certificate of Live Birth.”

The Corsi Book: In May of this year a book by Jerome Corsi
was published. Even before it was published, however, it
was featured on the front page of the popular Drudge Report
website, and it instantly soared to the first spot on
Amazon,3 the largest bookseller on the Internet. Because
Corsi’s book and other of his writings will be prominent in
what we offer here, a moment taken to say a word about this
man and his work will be well spent.
Jerome Corsi is an investigative reporter with a Ph.D. in
political science from Harvard. He came to prominence in
August 2004 when he co-authored the book Unfit for Command:
Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry that was
published by Regnery.4 It sold 1.2 million copies. It was
credited with bringing to light important information that
had not previously been known about a major presidentialcandidate, and of having a major influence on the election
of that year. Dr. Corsi is today a writer on the staff of
the website WND, World Net Daily.
Corsi’s latest book, the one released this May and referred
to above, is Where’s the Birth Certificate? It treats the
Short Form in great detail, with 370 pages, including 125
exhibits.
Examining the Short Form: A single glance at the Short Formshows its claim to being a birth certificate to be
blatantly false.
It shows not a single signature, none of a doctor or other
attending medical person, none of a certifying hospital
official, or state keeper of vital records. Such a
document cannot be used to get a passport or a driver’s
license. Nor can it be used to enroll a child in school.
Yet Barack Obama presented it as sufficient to establish
his eligibility to be President of the United States.
Compare Obama’s Short Form with a genuine Alabama birth
certificate issued in 1934. (See Exhibit 4.) Or compare
it with a more recent certificate issued in Hawaii. (See
Exhibit 5.)

Though not close to being a birth certificate as that term
is always understood, the White House maintained that it
was just that, a real, bona fide birth certificate. And
anyone questioning it could expect to be the object of
harsh ridicule. For instance, at the press briefing of May
27, 2009, reporter Lester Kinsolving asked press secretary
Robert Gibbs why Obama couldn’t release the real thing.
Corsi records their exchange:
Instead of answering, Gibbs, along with the Washington press
corps in attendance, erupted in boisterous laughter.
“Are you looking for the president’s birth certificate?” Gibbs
asked incredulously.
“Yes,” Kinsolving replied.
“It’s on the Internet, Lester,” an exasperated Gibbs rejoined.
“No, no, no,” Kinsolving protested, “the long form listing his
hospital and physician.”
More laughter.
“Lester, this question in many ways continues to astound me,“
Gibbs intoned. “The state of Hawaii provided a copy with the
seal of the president’s birth. I know there are apparently at
least 400,000 people (laughter) that continue to doubt the
existence of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of
the president’s birth there, but it’s on the Internet becausewe put it on the Internet for each of those 400,000 to
download. I certainly hope that by the fourth year of our
administration that we’ll have dealt with this burgeoning
controversy.”5
Millions of ordinary Americans who take an interest in
current events were far less astounded by the question than
was Obama’s press secretary, and not at all amused. Not
only was the document posted on the Internet on its face
less than the legitimate birth certificate we are
accustomed to seeing, there are strong suggestions thateven it is in fact a forgery. A bizarre incident comes into
play here. It involves a man named Jay McKinnon.
McKinnon is an Internet activist who describes himself as a
strong Obama supporter and has no doubt that the
certificate Obama posted is the real thing. Yet some of
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 10/39
6
his actions contradict that belief. McKinnon is apparently
skilled at manipulating Internet images and he used this
skill to produce a forged Hawaii blank birth certificate as
a joke. (See Exhibit 6.) Nor did he stop there. He
produced another certificate that was not entirely blank.
It showed that a person named Haye I. B. Ahphorgerie was
born at 7:24 PM, date unspecified. Note that the name read
phonetically gives “Hey, I be a forgery.” (See exhibit 7.)
Assuming that McKinnon was being honest in saying that he
was an Obama supporter, he intended his work to be a prank.
If so, unintended consequences followed. He had shown the
ease with which a Short Form could be fabricated. And he
amplified this fact with comments he offered later. Writes
Corsi:
The Israel Insider blog described McKinnon as a twenty-five-tothirty-year old “Democratic political activist, frequent
contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent
Barack Obama supporter” who, as far back as 2006, had bragged
on DailyKos how easily one could forge official government
documents. The discussion centered around forging driver’s
licenses for illegal immigrants and the idea of producing “The
Perfect ID Card.” McKinnon was flippant, confident he could
counterfeit virtually any government document, including birth
certificates. “Most Americans have worse ID than illegal
immigrants,” he said. “So, you have a letter from a notary
that says you told him you’re a citizen. Is that supposed to
mean something? I’m certain he would sign one saying I told
him I’m a carrot. Birth certificates, are you serious? Take a
look at yours. Chances are I could counterfeit it at Kinkos
(sic).”6
It develops that there is an interesting and pertinent
bit of forensic evidence that suggests that McKinnon
himself may be the forger, not just of his spoof
certificates, but of the Short Form presented by Obama
as his actual birth certificate. Briefly, there is a
subtle artifact that would be expected to be unique to
any image of a certificate, but that is common to the
two certificates that McKinnon has acknowledged he
manufactured as jokes, as well as to the Short Form
released by Obama. (See Exhibit 8.) To be specific,
there is a tittle of a black mark, about the size of
the dot over an “i,” just to the left of the state
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 11/39
7
seal. (Compare Exhibits 3, 6, and 7.) The mark is
small and difficult to see, but it is there. (See the
note.7) This is an instance of “electronic noise” that
can occur at random in the production or copying of an
image, but being random it would never repeat itself in
any operation that was done de novo. It would have to
be copied from an original image.
A logical hypothesis flows naturally from these facts:
McKinnon first produced the blank document. Then he
filled it in, first for the Haye I. B. Ahphorgerie
spoof, then for the Short Form presented as Obama’s
birth certificate. In other words, the blank document
was the parent and the other two were the daughters who
inherited their tiny blemishes from her. To put it
another way, the blank document was a template whichMcKinnon used to produce the other two documents.
At least theoretically there is another scenario that
could have been followed. The Short Form, from
whatever source it came, could have been published
first by Obama, and McKinnon “reverse-engineered” it to
produce his spoofs. But this makes no sense. McKinnon
has amply demonstrated his forging skill and could
fabricate whatever document he chose without the need
to reverse-engineer anything. Further, the sequence ofevents argues against this scenario. The Daily Kos
website published the purported Short Form first, and
almost immediately it appeared on the Obama campaign
site.
Finally, add to this that McKinnon certainly has the
capability for forging the Short Form, as he himself
has said and demonstrated, and the finger would seem to
point in his direction.
In any event, the questions of exactly how the document
was produced, and by whom, are details which are
interesting, but almost insignificant. The important
question is whether the Short Form is a legitimate
document. And the answer is a decisive “no.”

The Long-Form Birth Certificate: Jerome Corsi’s book was
scheduled for publication on 18 May 2011. It was widely
publicized and much of the information it was to reveal
leaked out before publication. In particular, prominent
businessman and presidential aspirant Donald Trump became
cognizant of the book’s contents and went public. On 23
March 2011 he appeared on the TV program The View with
personalities Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg, among
others.8 Using Corsi’s book as an information source, Trump
roundly attacked the inadequacies of the Short Form and
demanded that Obama release his real birth certificate, the
Long Form. Trump’s appearance on mainstream TV drew perhaps
an unprecedented amount of national attention, and focused
the spotlight squarely on Obama.
The startling thing that happened next can hardly have beena coincidence of timing. On 27 April 2011, Corsi’s book
had already gone to press and had been widely publicized,
but had not yet been published. Just at that point, in an
obvious attempted coup to counter the forthcoming book,
Barack Obama himself strode into the White House press room
and distributed copies of what he purported to be his Long
Form birth certificate. (See Exhibit 9.) He said that,
As many of you have been briefed, we provided additionalinformation today about the site of my birth. Now, this issuehas been going on for two, two and a half years now. I thinkit started during the campaign. And I have to say that overthe last two and a half years I have watched with bemusement,I've been puzzled at the degree to which this thing just kepton going. We've had every official in Hawaii, Democrat andRepublican, every news outlet that has investigated this,confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4,1961, in Kapiolani Hospital.
We've posted the certification that is given by the state ofHawaii on the Internet for everybody to see. People haveprovided affidavits that they, in fact, have seen this birthcertificate. And yet this thing just keeps on going.
Now, normally I would not comment on something like this,because obviously there’s a lot of stuff swirling in the presson at (sic) any given day and I've got other things to do.9
But, he added, that the “dominant news story” hadn’t been“about these huge, monumental choices that we’re going tohave to make as a nation. It was about my birthcertificate.”10

Trump accepted the document at face value, and he boasted
that he had compelled Obama to make this release. He then
fell silent on the matter. Many others, both supporters
and opponents of Obama, dusted their hands and expressed
satisfaction that the issue of Obama’s birth had finallybeen settled.
Examining the Long Form: But those who considered the
issue settled were premature. Such was not the case. In
fact the new document amplified the questions several fold.
Even without it, two obvious curiosities presented
themselves. First, if the Short Form was truly an adequate
certificate of birth, as Obama had claimed ad infinitum,
why was anything more needed? Second, if the Long Form had
been in his possession all along, why had he spent,according to reports, more than $1 million in legal fees11
fighting court cases in which numerous plaintiffs sought to
obtain it? These are simple questions that would occur to
any person with a modicum of commonsense, but no one has
pressed the question on Mr. Obama. The silence from the
media has been stupefying.
After Obama produced his purported Long Form it was widely
distributed across the Internet and immediately drew the
attention of certain persons with the technical expertiseto examine it with the eyes of an expert.
A good example is Karl Denninger. He has extensive
experience in the computer and software business.12 He
deals with a term typographers use: Kerning.13
In the days of cast metal typesetting, in order to save
space typesetters could crowd some characters closer
together than others, depending on which two characters
were contiguous. But it only worked with certain
characters, and the typesetter, doing his job manually, had
to be skilled and selective.
With the typewriter, kerning has never been possible. The
typist has not the skills of the typesetter, nor does his
machine have the capability of varying the space between
characters. By necessity each character occupies the same
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 14/39
10
amount of horizontal space. But the
invention of the computer brought
back the possibility of kerning.
The computer has a brain and a
memory, and it knows how much
horizontal space to allot on a line
of type to each character, depending
on which characters are immediately
on each side of it. Depending on
which of the many available fonts is
used, the kerning can be more
visible or less so. (See the box,
right.)
Denninger observed that kerning was
clearly visible in numerous placeson the Long Form submitted by Obama, and he offered an
example. The place of birth was shown as Kapiolani
Hospital. Denninger focused in on the initial three letters
of the name, that is on “Kap,” and gave it a large
magnification. When that is done it is clear that the “a”
and the “p” intrude into each other’s horizontal space.
(See Exhibit 10) That is, kerning is clearly visible, as
it is elsewhere on the form, and it follows that a
computer, not a typewriter, was apparently used to generate
the so-called Long Form, at least for parts of it. Since
computers were not in use in 1961, the year of Obama’s
birth, this is strong evidence, if not irrefutable proof,
of a forgery.
An entirely different piece of important evidence wasuncovered and commented on by Douglas Vogt.14 Vogtsummarizes his Résumé as follows:
I have a unique background for analyzing this document. I owned
a typesetting company (Nova Typesetting) for 11 years so I know
type and form design very well. I currently own Archive Index
Systems since 1993, which sells all types of document scanners
worldwide and also developed document imaging software (The
Repository). I know how the scanners work and their
capabilities. I have also sold other document imaging programs,
such as Laser Fiche, Liberty and Alchemy. I have sold and
installed document imaging systems in city and county
This paper is done in Courier
New, which is a monospaced
font similar to that of a
typewriter. It has no
kerning. This sentence, on the other hand,
is in Helvetica CY and it does have kerning.Notice particularly the first
word “This,” and how the “i”
is crowded by the letters to
the left and right. Here it is
in larger type shown for
emphasis: This. Now compare
with: This, where the
monospaced “i” has plenty of
space.

11
governments, so I know their procedures with imaging systems
and everything about the design of such programs. This will be
important in understanding what has happened with Obama’s
Certificate of Live Birth. I also have a good working knowledge
of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.15
Vogt applied his expertise to the Long Form and concludedit was a forgery. His work came too late to make it into
Corsi’s book, but the latter picked up his story and
explained it in an article for World Net Daily:
The 22-page criminal complaint filed with the FBI by document-imaging expert Doug Vogt charges that individuals within theHawaii Department of Health, Obama political operatives and anunidentified graphic artist worked in a multi-state conspiracyto create a fraudulent long-form birth certificate for BarackObama.
Vogt's complaint asserts: "I have irrefutably proven that theCertificate of Live Birth that President Obama presented to theworld on April 27, 2011 is a fraudulently created document puttogether using the Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator programs."He claims the long-form birth certificate the White Housereleased April 27 as an electronic document in PDF format wasforged from a composite of legitimate birth certificatesobtained from the Hawaii DOH archives and manipulated toreplace the original authentic information.
Obama's birth certificate number appears to be out of sequencewith the birth certificate numbers given to twins born a dayafter Obama.
Susan Nordyke, the first twin, was born at 2:12 p.m. Aug. 5,1961, and was given certificate No. 151 – 61 – 10637, which wasfiled with the Hawaii registrar on Aug. 11, 1961. GretchenNordyke was born at 2:17 p.m. and was given certificate No. 151– 61 – 10638, which was also filed with the Hawaii registrarAug. 11, 1961.
Barack Obama was given certificate No. 151 – 61 – 10641, eventhough he was born Aug. 4, 1961, the day before the Nordyketwins, and his birth was registered with the Hawaii Departmentof Health registrar three days earlier, Aug. 8, 1961.
"It is impossible to have Obama's certificate number to be four
numbers higher than a certificate that came in three dayslater," Vogt concludes.
Vogt's forensic examination of the birth certificate number onthe White House-released long form concluded that the last "1"in the number "10641," as seen in the figure below, is agrayscale image, while the remaining numbers are not. This is,he says, "irrefutable proof that the certificate number is acomposite of two numbers and hence a forgery."16
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 16/39
12
Vogt spotted numerous other anomalies in the Long Form, toomany to detail in this short white paper, but one of themost compelling was his observation of the mixed use of“digital” images and “grayscale” images.17,18
Think of a typewriter. The typist strikes a key and thecorresponding character is printed on the paper in thecarriage. Assuming a black ribbon is in the machine, thecharacter printed will be purely black. All the characterswill be purely black except when the space bar is used toproduce a white space. The typewriter, then, can produceonly two colors, pure black or pure white.
But now comes the computer with all its sophistication andcomplication. It can operate in the typewriter mode andproduce images using only pure black and pure white, andthese are now called “digital” images. But the computer isnot limited to pure black, and can produce many shades ofgray, typically 256 of them. In the lexicon of computers,images produced in this mode are called “grayscale” images.
Vogt has conclusively shown that the Long Form submitted byObama contains some grayscale images, proving that acomputer was used in its formulation. (See Exhibit 11)
A third analyst, Paul Irey, took an approach different from
both those of Denninger and Vogt. He assumed that, right
or wrong, all the entries on the Long Form were made with atypewriter.
Then he proceeded in this way with his analysis: He first
made a table in which he placed each character from the
Long Form and numbered them from 1 to 244. (See Exhibit
12) He then compared corresponding letters with each
other, for example, each “a” with each other “a” wherever
it appeared, and likewise for the other letters. In
examining the letters in this way, differences were clearly
visible, and Irey concluded that, if they were typed, theycame from two or more typewriters. (See Exhibit 13) But
why, in the ordinary course of business, would anyone type
the first few letters of a word, take the paper out, and
put it in another machine to complete the word? No one
would execute such a laborious process at whim. What
probably happened is that the Long Form was forged by
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 17/39
13
taking pieces from several legitimate documents and using
them to assemble the fake document, much as Dr.
Frankenstein assembled his monster.
This procedure used by Irey is neither intricate nor
esoteric. It is subtle, but so are fingerprints and DNA.Nor is this method novel. The FBI has used it for decades.
It figured prominently in the post-war trial of Alger Hiss,
the Russian spy in the State Department who was tried and
convicted of perjury related to the espionage he committed.
The analysis of the type produced by a certain typewriter
was an important element in the government’s case against
Hiss and was key to his conviction.19
An article in Wikipedia discusses this famous typewriter:
At both [the Hiss]trials FBI typewriter experts testified that
the Baltimore documents in Chambers's possession matched
samples of typing done in the 1930s by Priscilla Hiss on the
Hisses' home typewriter, a Woodstock brand. As early as
December 1948 the chief investigator for the Hiss defense,
Horace W. Schmahl, set off a race to find Hiss's typewriter.
The FBI, with superior resources was also searching for the
typewriter, which the Hiss family had discarded some years
earlier. Nevertheless, Schmahl, was able to track it down
first, and the Hiss defense introduced it with the intention of
showing that its typeface would not be a match for that on the
FBI's documents. Surprisingly, however, the typefaces proved tobe an excellent match and seemed to confirm the FBI's evidence.
Schmahl subsequently changed sides and went to work for the
prosecution.20
We have already discussed the activities of Jay McKinnon
and his demonstrated ability as a skilled forger, but he
has not shown us how he made his forgeries. However
another activist, Ron Pollard has shown in great detail one
way to do it. In a lengthy and high technical four-part
video series he shows us how to construct a birth
certificate virtually identical to the forgery Obamapresented to the press corps as his Long Form certificate.21
Other Evidence: Any one piece of the evidence we have given
so far, standing alone, should be dispositive of the
question regarding Obama’s birth certificate. It is

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 18/39
14
clearly a forgery. The sum of all the evidence should
overwhelm the most skeptical.
What we have given here is merely a sketch of the more
salient points. Many more details are to be found in the
Alternative Media, principally on the Internet. Forexample there is a serious question about Obama’s Social
Security account. The account number he uses is one
reserved for residents of Connecticut, and he has never
lived or worked in that state.22 The number he is using is
apparently illegal. While this is not directly a part of
the birth certificate question, it does suggest that Obama
habitually uses fake documents, amplifying the strength of
the accusation that he is using a fake birth certificate.
The premier website for matters pertaining to Obama’s birthcertificate is World Net Daily. They have compiled an
archive of more than 200 articles dedicated to this
subject. (See the note.23)
Is Barack Obama a Criminal?: The ancient and well known
crime of forgery goes back to the English common law, and
has been inherited in the laws of the states and in federal
law.
In Alabama it is a statutory crime.24 The crime extends
beyond the person who actually creates the false document,
but includes anyone who “utters” it, meaning anyone who,
knowing that it’s false, puts it forward as true.25
Specifically, if the forgery purports to be a “written
instrument officially issued or created by a public office”
(e.g., a birth certificate created by the State of Hawaii)
it is forgery in the second degree,26 and is classified as
a class C felony.27 A class C felony in Alabama carries a
penalty of up to 10 years in prison.28
Federal law closely follows Alabama law. It calls forimprisonment of up to 15 years29, and it explicitly mentions
forgery of a birth certificate as an offense.30
Obama could not possibly claim that he believed the
document he carried into the Press Room that day in April
was genuine. He cannot escape the fact that he knew it was
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 19/39
15
fake. When he passed it out to the newsmen gathered there,
in the language of the law, he uttered it to them.
Further, as he intended it to be, the fake document was
instantly spread around the world. He uttered it, then, in
each of the 50 states in the Union, one of which is
Alabama.
Some definitions of forgery require the false document to
be “of legal efficacy,”31 in other words to actually achieve
a goal of some kind. In the present case the false
document was legally efficacious in the highest: It
enabled the forger, Mr. Obama, to appear to be
constitutionally qualified to hold the highest office in
the land, to be the President of the United States of
America.
Synopsis: This paper is necessarily rich in details, with a
close-up, tree-by-tree inspection of the birth-certificate
landscape. In the usual hoary metaphor, it might be useful
before concluding to step back for an overview of the forest as a
whole.
Even before the election, Obama heard demands that he prove that
he meets the constitutional requirement that he be a natural born
citizen. In response to these demands he published what has come
to be called his Short Form birth certificate. This came close
on the heels of an identical document published on the websiteDaily Kos. However it included not a single signature of a
doctor, midwife, or certifying official, and could nowise be
considered a birth certificate in the usual sense.
Because of the obvious deficiencies of the Short Form, demands
were made to see the Long Form, that is, the real birth
certificate. Multiple lawsuits were filed asking that its
release be ordered. But Obama, spending over $1 million,
successfully countered these legal thrusts. Whenever the
question of the Long Form came up in the White House Press Room
it was always met with laughter, scorn, and ridicule, and, ineffect, with the knavish retort, “As I have told you, he’s
already released it.”
In April of 2011 there was a surprise development. Without
forewarning, not his press secretary, but Mr. Obama himself,
strode into the Press Room and presented to those numerous
newsmen present supposed copies of what he had spent a fortune in
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 20/39
16
legal fees fighting to avoid releasing. The reason for this
astonishing abruptness is not hard to find.
It is easily traceable to Jerome Corsi, a very successful
investigative reporter and writer. Corsi had just completed the
manuscript for his book Where’s the Birth Certificate, which
would be a major exposé of Obama and his fake certificate, and it
was just days away from publication. There was much pre-
publication publicity, with Corsi’s book soaring to number one on
Amazon’s website due to advance orders pouring in. Obama is
certain to have known this was happening, and his reaction was to
try to parry Corsi’s thrust by finally revealing his “real” birth
certificate.
This new birth certificate did indeed look as though it might be
legitimate. It had all the blanks filled in and carried several
signatures. Not waiting for the inevitable analysis which couldcertainly be expected, many, both pro- and anti-Obama,
immediately breathed a sigh of relief and embraced the document
as genuine. They gleefully dusted their hands and said, “Now
let’s move on.” But there were a few of a more skeptical and
stubborn temperament, and they moved in for a closer look.
One expert, Karl Denninger, conclusively showed that the Long
Form showed evidence of kerning, something that a computer does
as a matter of routine, but which typewriters cannot do. This
strongly implies that a computer, not available at the time of
Obama’s birth, was used at some later date to construct theforged Long Form.
Another expert, Douglas Vogt, showed the presence of grayscale
images. These are images that can contain a number of shades of
gray, again something only a computer can do. He also noted that
the serial number shown on the certificate was out of sequence
compared to certificates issued after his birth.
A third expert Paul Irey, took a different tack. He assumed,
notwithstanding the evidence to the contrary, that all the
characters on the Long Form were made with a typewriter, and
conducted his analysis from there. With a detailed letter-by-
letter examination he showed that not all of the letters could
have been struck by the same typewriter. In the normal course of
business, there is no reasonable explanation for why a typist
would type the first letters of a word, then take the paper out
and complete the word on another machine. The fact that this was
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 21/39
17
done points to the conclusion that the Long Form is a composite
assembled from components of several other documents.
It’s difficult to see, then, how Barack Obama’s Long Form is
other than a forgery, and since he has “uttered” it literally to
the world, and particularly in Alabama, it would seem that he hascommitted a forgery in Alabama. There is most certainly far more
than enough evidence presented here for law enforcement officials
to open an investigation.
Further, if as seems most likely, his birth certificate is a
forgery, he should not be allowed on any ballot for President in
2012 by reason of his having failed to prove he meets the
constitutional requirement that he be a natural born citizen.
Conclusion: The reader may at first brush regard some of
the evidence presented here as a bit arcane, since for most
it is novelty and not something seen everyday. But
compared to fingerprints, and especially to DNA, it is
relatively simple. The latter two require for
interpretation a trained technician using a microscope.
The evidence we have given, requires no microscope, but can
be seen and understood by anyone with normal eyesight.
And the evidence it reveals for forgery of Barack Obama’s
birth certificate is well nigh irrefutable. He has
committed forgery in each of the 50 states and in thecountry as a whole. We believe that if the evidence were
presented to any fair-minded jury they would vote to
convict him of that crime.
But will our leaders allow these damning facts ever to
reach the ears of a jury? In preparation for writing this
paper we have had occasion to read again Whittaker
Chambers’ epochal book Witness. A paragraph near the end
of his book glaringly protrudes from among the pages:
No feature of the Hiss Case is more obvious, or more troubling
as history, than the jagged fissure, which it did not so much
open as reveal, between the plain men and women of the nation,
and those who affected to act, think and speak for them. It
was, not invariable, but in general, the “best people” who were
for Alger Hiss and who were prepared to go to almost any length
to protect and defend him. It was the enlightened and
powerful, the clamorous proponents of the open mind and the
8/2/2019 2012-03-06 - AL - McInnish v - Exhibit 2 - White Paper
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2012-03-06-al-mcinnish-v-exhibit-2-white-paper 22/39
18
common man, who snapped their minds shut in a pro-Hiss
psychosis, of a kind which, in an individual patient, means the
simple failure of the ability to distinguish between reality
and unreality, and, in a nation, is a warning of the end.32
The parallelism between the Hiss and Obama cases is
stunning. Substitute 2012 for 1948, Obama for Hiss, and
forgery for perjury, and the analogy is practically exact.
The jagged fissure that Chambers saw in 1948 still exists
today between the plain people and the enlightened and
powerful, who have eyes to see but see not, who have
snapped their minds shut, and have lost their ability to
discern reality. And, as in 1948, this disability affects
the health of the whole nation.
There is one difference. In 1948 there was on the scene an
audacious young congressman from California, Richard Nixon,who insisted that the facts be laid bare.33 After a
national harangue they were laid bare, Hiss was tried,
convicted, and sent to prison.
As this is written, there is no 2012 Richard Nixon. Will
one step forward?

analyzing this document. I owned a typesetting company (Nova
Typesetting) for 11 years so I know type and form design very well. I
currently own Archive Index Systems since 1993, which sells all types
of document scanners worldwide and also developed document imaging
software (The Repository). I know how the scanners work and their
capabilities. I have also sold other document imaging programs, such as
Laser Fiche, Liberty and Alchemy. I have sold and installed document
imaging systems in city and county governments, so I know
their procedures with imaging systems and everything about the design
of such programs. This will be important in understanding what has
happened with Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth. I also have a good
working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.” See http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2011/05/expert-claimsbirth-
