Barack Obama’s footprint & birth certificate and Savilla Arlene Turgeon & The Cyril and Julia C. Johnson Memorial Hospital
The following are some of the major topics discussed in the post:
- Footprint size on Obama's CPGH-BC is too large -
The inked footprint affixed to the document is too large to be that of a newborn baby. - Has a hospital seal rather than a government seal -
“The certificate bears the seal of the hospital. A seal signifies a certified copy. Generally hospitals don’t issue certified copies, jurisdictions do. The seal should be that of the government of Kenya (or the district), not the hospital.” - Seal is too generic -
“… one feature stands out to me as the strongest evidence of fakery: the seal. Not only is it not a government seal for either Kenya or Mombasa, but it’s terribly generic. It just says “SEAL” in the center, as though it was a bottom-level embossed sealmaker, bought from an office supplies dealer for about $25.” - Has pre-printed titles -
“I also find very suspicious that the signature has the pre-printed title “Supervisor of Obstetrics” when there are all sorts of conditions with (sic) someone else might sign the form. In pretty much any real form, the title of the signer is a blank to fill in.” - It's an unlikely combination of a hospital document and a legal document -
“On the one hand it purports to be issued by the hospital, signed by a hospital-titled person, and lacks legal attributes such as the parent’s signature and adds a baby footprint. On the other hand it purports to be a legal document, having a certificate number, a seal, and to have been “issued” this year, attributes of a “certified copy.” But a certified copy of a souvenir makes no sense, and the document presented seems neither fish nor fowl.” - Shows printing identification data/numbers -
