I saw a video of a man downloading and manipulating the official Obama birth certificate to show it was in layers. I’ve heard about it and might have even seen a video of it before in the past. But you always wonder if what you are seeing is real.
I wanted to see it for myself so I asked David (my husband) to do it for me. He is a graphic designer and web designer with almost 40 years of experience.
This is the video he made. I specifically asked him to make it in one shot so no one could question what might have been done between shots. It’s screen only with no audio. He downloaded it from the official .gov Obama archives. He then did the manipulation in Illustrator.
I don’t know about you, but I’m very certain there are no layers on my American birth certificate from the same general time in history.
What I can’t understand is why they have this still available for the public to download. Make that make sense.
If you remember, Trump made a big deal out of this.
The woman who said the birth certificate was real ended up dying in a plane crash in the water. Everyone else survived.
What are the odds this is true?
My commentary: anybody who knows Adobe Illustrator well knows you can open up PDF files in it and see the structure of a file. What makes this surprising/not surprising is that an image of a birth certificate is just that, an image made of pixels. It appears they wanted to “protect” this image by putting that busy green “safety” background in it, but the problem is the dates on the stamps. You can clearly see they were manipulated in some fashion. The tones of the letter colors don’t even match. There’s only one reason for those pieces being where they are: manipulation, plain and simple. If this were an authentic copy, it would have one layer with the black and white image and one layer with a solid green safety paper image. But it’s not. Too many artifacts attached.
So the birth certificate is manipulated and Trump made a big deal about it being fake. The woman who said it was real died. Make this all make sense?
The leftist explanation is that fancy OCR software was used to detect and enhance the text at some point.
I particularly like this statement from one of them: “…totally NEEDLESSLY CONVOLUTED way of presenting it to the public, because it could hardly of been any more doctored and cobbled together looking if they tried.”

Hawaii has confirmed the birth certificate, but I don’t think they’ve ever said how they got from a archived piece of paper to that highly-processed image.
The original seems to have had a lot of pencil marks, for some reason.
