Regardless of what others may say, snopes.com does a good job of pointing out many discrepancies in the BC.
The biggest thing being that the BC says "republic of Kenya", but it wasn't until later that Kenya switched from "Dominion" to a "republic".
Check it out....make up your own mind and don't listen to anyone here.
on't put your HOPES in SNOPES Posted on Sat Mar 07 2009 01:41:09 GMT+0100 (W. Europe Standard Time) by rocco55 Subject: Info on Snopes.com Always figured there was something to this. They're the ones that said that this thing with obama's birth certificate was untrue. Now we know..... For the past few years www.snopes.com has positioned itself, or others have labeled it, as the 'tell all final word' on any comment, claim and email. But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes.com. Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it - kinda makes you wonder what they were hiding. Well, finally we know. It is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators and researchers, no team of lawyers. It's just a mom-and-pop operation that began as a hobby. David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the website about 13 years ago - and they have no formal background or experience in investigative research. After a few years it gained popularity believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation? The reason for the questions - or skepticisms - is a result of snopes.comclaiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or issue when in fact they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues. I can personally vouch for that complaint. A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across the internet, 'supposedly' the Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue before posting their findings on snopes.com. In their statement they claimed the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when in fact nothing of the sort 'ever' took place. I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg's contact phone numbers - and Bud was going to give him phone numbers to the big exec's at State Farm in Illinois who would have been willing to speak with him about it. He never called Bud. In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg no one from snopes.com ever contacted anyone with State Farm. Yet, snopes.com issued a statement as the 'final factual word' on the issue as if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things - not!

You call asking 1 friend in the country, studying history. You must be a genius.
Kenya was a British colony in 1963 and was that way for 40 years.
Official paperwork would be in English.

I have never come out with this prior to now because I did not want to be involved in any way, shape, or form with the information I know, but I can tell the OP that the first 3 photos he posted are fake. How do I know this? Because I know the person who created them, and think he's a fool. Personally, I think what he did is a federal crime and he should be punished but I'm not one to name names. He's actually an Obama supporter, not a hater... He did it to prove how stupid and gullible the birthers are, and in that he succeeded. He did it on his old typewriter and embossed the paper.

To falsify documents is a federal crime.
Sucks to be him.
