The discussion is your obsession with a topic that was debunked years ago
How was it debunked years ago?
More seriously than I took the whole birth certificate fiasco to begin with
That phony "Kenyan Birth Certificate" was out and about and debunked nearly a decade ago.
That's how it was debunked?
It was for sale on ebay in 2009.
That's what I would do with it if my real birth certificate showed up and I wanted to be able to claim it was a phony.
This has already been posted like 5 times now - article debunking it from 2009:
FALSE: Obama's Kenyan Certified Registration of Birth
Obama “Kenyan birth certificate” of dubious origin was offered for sale by one Lucas Smith via eBay in August 2009:
This document exhibited many of the same red flags as the previous forgery, including its identification of the location of Barack Obama Jr.’s birth as Mombasa, even though that city was very far away from the part of Kenya in which Barack Obama Sr.’s family lived:
The image is part of the extremely ill-informed conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Mombasa — conveniently, one of the more Muslim parts of the country.
This has always been a red flag for conspiracy theorists, so it deserves some explanation. Barack Obama Sr. was born and educated in Nyanza Province, in southwestern Kenya, on Lake Victoria. This is the area where Obama’s family lived and continues to live; Sarah Obama, the step-grandmother of the president, lives in Nyang’oma Kogelo, a small town in the province. But Mombasa is a city on the Indian Ocean, a thousand miles to the east. It didn’t even have an international airport until 1979.
In September 2009, Orly Taitz attempted to introduce the second “Kenyan birth certificate” in the case of
Rhodes v. MacDonald as evidence that Barack Obama was born outside the United States U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land
dismissed the complaint and threatened to sanction Ms. Taitz if she filed any similarly frivolous motions in the future:
Plaintiff has demonstrated no likelihood of success on the merits. Her claims are based on sheer conjecture and speculation. She alleges no factual basis for her “hunch” or “feeling” or subjective belief that the President was not born in the United States … Unlike in
Alice in Wonderland, simply saying something is so does not make it so.
Plaintiff’s counsel, who champions herself as a defender of liberty and freedom, seeks to use the power of the judiciary to compel a citizen, albeit the President of the United States, to “prove his innocence” to “charges” that are based [solely] upon conjecture and speculation. Any middle school civics student would readily recognize the irony of abandoning [the] fundamental principles upon which our country was founded in order to purportedly “protect and preserve” those very principles.
Plaintiff’s counsel is hereby notified that the filing of any future actions in this Court, which are similarly frivolous, shall subject counsel to sanctions.
