Obama ‘Birth certificate’ eBay seller vanishes into thin air
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The eBay seller who first offered – and then promised to reveal to WND – an alleged Barack Obama birth certificate from Mombasa, Kenya, has dropped communications with a team of people offering to help him verify the document, only fueling belief the sale was a scam.
As WND reported, an eBay seller known originally as “colmado_naranja” claimed to have an authentic document from Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa proving Obama’s birth there at 7:24 p.m. on Aug. 4, 1961.
WND followed the ongoing saga, as “colmado_naranja” attempted several times to sell the document, or photos and stories surrounding it, on eBay, only to have the auctions repeatedly removed by site administrators.
Eventually, the seller promised to make a YouTube video of his story and reveal the “birth certificate” to WND. Neither promise was fulfilled.
Well, duh!
Since World Nut Daily itself had experts examine Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate and declare it authentic, why would they give this con artist the time of day?
A separate WND investigation into Obama’s birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic. The investigation also revealed methods used by some of the bloggers to determine the document was fake involved forgeries, in that a few bloggers added text and images to the certificate scan that weren’t originally there.
Of course, we know why. For a year after publishing the above article, WND has blissfully gone along as if they didn’t, all the while ignoring the stated results of their own investigation.
They don’t mind saying, as they do today, and have said other days:
WND Senior Staff Writer Jerome Corsi traveled last year to both Kenya and Hawaii looking into Obama’s history. He said despite contacts in government offices, the help of others and even the offer of financial reward, the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa would not confirm Obama’s birth there nor provide access to records.
But they continue with their “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” billboard campaign as if they have no idea it’s in Honolulu, a dishonest and ludicrous exercise as a media operation can conduct.
The State Department and Department of Homeland Security have affirmed to courts of the land:
- President Obama was born in Hawaii and is a U.S. “natural born” citizen and is eligible to serve as the United States President, pursuant to the United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
- President Obama was not born in Mombasa, Kenya.
- President Obama was not born in Kenya or anywhere outside the state of Hawaii.
The hospital in Mombasa, Kenya have no record of Obama’s birth there. They’ve searched and searched.
Officials at the Kenyan hospital confirm they’ve been besieged with requests for information on Obama’s birth there, but haven’t been able to find any record of it. Does WND really think some Kenyan official or hospital employee wouldn’t take the bribes, uh, rewards they continue to offer?
“We do not have computerized records going back to the 1960′s and can only sort through our archives by hand,” Dr. Christopher Mwanga, an administrator at the Mombasa hospital tells GLOBE. “We have searched for all the names of babies born on Aug. 4, 1961, and have not found the name of Barack Hussein Obama. That is all I can tell you.”

No matter how hypocritical WND is determined to be to further this right wing crusade to bring down the Obama administration, they know full well the President’s Hawaiian birth certificate, which states he was born in Honolulu, is the real thing. They know full well there is no certificate for the birth of Barack Obama in Kenya. But they stay on this course because their suckered readership so desperately wants to believe in a Kenyan birth certificate and will keep sending the money!
There can be no other reason WND would involve itself in this eBay scam, would publicize it from day one, would engage with the scam artist’s agent and lawyers, would even continue this grossly dishonest witch hunt against the President of the United States.
World Nut Daily has over 200 Birther articles on its website with multiple lies in every one of them. Below the fold of every single article is repeated some part of the body of lies previously published.
They lie about Obama’s Kenyan step-grandmother confirming his Kenyan birth.
They lie about what the state of Hawaii will or will not accept as a birth certificate.
They lie about what the state of Hawaii even issues as birth certificates.
And WND’s demented readership, who cannot ENDURE having a president they do not choose to have, despite his democratic election with its usual peaceful transition, something this country honors and other countries envy, believes every damned lying word of it. You know what? I endured EIGHT YEARS having a president I did not want. So can you.
Where’s the birth certificate? It’s up my ass. Come and get it.
