However, after reading some of what appeared to be utter b.s., I downloaded the birth certificate and opened it in Adobe Illustrator CS5.<p>My heart dropped to the floor when I found there are actually layers containing the text on the certificate which you can hide.<p>I am no CS expert, but it appears there is a serious chance this is a forgery. All I can say, is holy fucking crap, please tell me I'm wrong. Anyone?<p>The certificate:<p>http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf<p>Wacko forum where I was hinted about this. Maybe they aren't wackos after all?<p>http://www.thetreeofliberty.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1495321#post1495321
