Finally the other shoe drops--an anonymous blogger has come forward with evidence that the "Republic of Kenya" birth certificate was, in fact, forged. And the sweet thing is--it was a deliberate act to punk dentist/lawyer/realtor/mediahog Orly Taitz and the Birthers (by way of World Nut Daily).
Happy Snoopy Dance after the jump...
The story broke in the Washington Independent (hat tip to Towleroad).
According to the Independent, "Politijab points to an anonymous blogger at FearlessBlogging, who has uploaded four photos of the original forgery and a mocking declaration:
Fine cotton business paper: $11
Inkjet printer: $35
1940 Royal Model KMM manual typewriter: $10
2 Shilling coin: $1
Pilot Varsity fountain pen: $3
Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's worth opening the Independent story, which includes the famous photo of the widely debunked birth certificate against a red woven rug or cloth, and photos of the typewriter, high quality paper, and coin (presumably used to emboss the "seal"). Finally, they perp has scribbled "YOU'VE BEEN PUNK'D!" on the crumpled certificate.
This is a beautiful piece of work. It looked just official enough to gain some credibility among the nutcases, yet contained just enough telltale signs that it could not be authentic. Kudos to the mastermind behind this!
Happy, happy, joy, joy....
UPDATE:
Unbelievable! One of Orly's contributors is already dismissing the hoax.
- A anonymous blogger came forward and said he made it and it is fake?
A blogger now claims to have made the document as a hoax, well just as easy as it is to make a fake it is easy to make a fake saying you made a fake, right. ;) The courts will decide if it is real or not. IF determined to be a fake the person trying to take credit for that could face criminal charges for faking a public document. Also LOOK at this PROOF A HIGH END GRAPHIC'S PROGRAM WAS USED TO MAKE A "HOAX VERSION" in attempt to discredit Orly's KENYAN BC.
They're unbelievable.
UPDATE 2:
Just when you thought they couldn't get any crazier...
Now this same Orly supporter on obamanotqualified.com is claiming that the hoax claim is...(wait for this)...A HOAX!!!
That's right, folks, straight out of the "moon landing faked on hollywood soundstage" mentality (Capricorn One anybody?), this yutz is claiming that the blogger claiming to have created the fake birth certificate is a fraud and that he actually used high-end graphics software to fake the fake.
Is your head spinning yet?
