The Incredible Story Of The 12 Year Old Japanese Boy Named Ibaragi Kun Who Changed History And Who Would Be Remembered Forever

This story originally comes from The Voice Of The Martyrs:

----

After they all had been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to die, twenty-six Christians were marched to the place where crudely made crosses stood. Almost three months earlier, they had been arrested in Kyoto, Japan, and charged with following Christ. One of the convicts was named Ibaragi Kun.

Seeing how young Kun was, an official took him aside and urged him to recant his faith to save his life. Looking the official in the eye, Kun said confidently, "Sir, it would be far better if you yourself became a Christian. Then you could go to heaven with me."

The officer stared, startled by the young man's faith. Finally, Ibaragi asked, "Sir, which cross is mine?"

The bewildered official pointed to the smallest of the twenty-six crosses. Young Kun ran to the cross, knelt before it, and embraced it. When the soldiers began to nail his hands and feet to the cross, he did not cry out in pain. He courageously accepted the path God had laid out for him.

The crucifixion of twenty-six Christians on November 23, 1596, was the beginning of a period of intense persecution of Christians in Japan.

Over the next seventy years, as many as one million Japanese Christians would be killed for their faith. Many would embrace their own crosses to follow the example of Ibaragi Kun, a very mature twelve-year-old boy.

A Riddle For Darwinists - Evolutionists Don't Know How To Handle This One!

The riddle posted below originally was conceived by Perry Marshall:

-----

1) DNA is not merely a molecule with a pattern; it is a code, a language, and an information storage mechanism.

2) All codes are created by a conscious mind; there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information.

3) Therefore DNA was designed by a mind.

If you can provide an empirical example of a code or language that occurs naturally, you've toppled my proof. All you need is one.

Soft Tissue Found In Dinosaur Bones?

Wouldn't it be an incredible discovery if soft tissue was found in dinosaur bones?

Well, it has!

Apologetics Press has a fascinating article on this subject:

http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/304

One of the amazing findings that the article discusses involves the discovery of 70-million-year-old soft tissue, including what may be blood vessels and cells, from a Tyrannosaurus rex.

Now how in the world could this be?

How could soft tissue survive intact for millions of years?

Or perhaps could our dating of these dinosaurs be way, way off after all?

It is a fascinating topic, and hopefully further research by scientists will help all of us to learn a lot more.

Constantine, The Council Of Nicaea & The Roman Catholic Church Did NOT Give Us The New Testament

We have noticed that there is serious confusion on the internet regarding the development of the New Testament.

First of all, the canon of the New Testament was not even on the agenda at the Council of Nicaea:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea

Secondly, there are a lot of people running around the internet claiming that the New Testament was not put together until centuries after Christ was crucified.

Dan Brown, the author of the Davinci Code, and many others have attempted to promote the claim that that New Testament books were not decided upon until the 4th century under the Roman Catholic councils.

Does this claim have any merit whatsoever?

Well, for starters, Dan Brown is not a religious expert at all. In fact, Dan Brown admitted in court that his wife did most of the research for the Davinci Code:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2006/mar/12/books.danbrown

The reality is that the Davinci Code is interesting fiction, but the facts about the New Testament tell an entirely different story:

Fact #1) Paul's letters were already considered scripture in the mid 1st century. Take a look at how the apostle Peter himself called them Scripture:

2 Peter 3:14-16

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Fact #2) The apostle Paul, writing between A.D. 62 and A.D. 65, quoted Luke 10:7 and called it Scripture:

Luke 10:7

Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.

Now look at how Paul quoted Luke 10:7 as Scripture in 1 Timothy 5:18.....

For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The worker deserves his wages."

So we can clearly see that the apostle Paul himself considered the gospel of Luke to be scripture in the middle of the 1st century.

Fact #3) Irenaeus, writing about 170 A.D., tells us that the 4 fold gospel was already a rock solid fact by then:

But it is not possible that the Gospels can be either more or fewer in number than they are. For since there are four zones of the world in which we live, and four principal winds, while the church has been scattered throughout the world, and since the "pillar and ground" of the church is the Gospel and the spirit of life, it is fitting that she should have four pillars, breathing incorruption on every side, and vivifying human afresh. From this fact, it is evident that the Logos, the fashioner [demiourgos] of all, he that sits on the cherubim and holds all things together, when he was manifested to humanity, gave us the gospel under four forms but bound together by one spirit. (Against Heresies 3.11.8)

Fact #4) The fact of the four-fold gospel is also reflected in the "Muratorian Fragment" which was written about the same time (around 170 A.D.) that Irenaeus was writing. The Muratorian Fragment lists for us basically the whole New Testament canon and it shows us once again that the four-fold gospel was an established fact by then.

Fact #5) We have approximately 50 manuscripts of the New Testament that PRE-DATE the Roman takeover of the established church in the 4th century.

Fact #6) We have more than 32 THOUSAND New Testament quotations from the early church writers of the 2nd and 3rd centuries. In fact, we could recreate virtually the entire New Testament just from the quotes of the early church writers of the 2nd and 3rd centuries. We can be QUITE certain that the New Testament we have today has come down to us just as it was from the earliest days, and we can be QUITE certain what they considered to be scripture.

Yes, the Roman government came along in the 4th century and corrupted and paganized the institutional church. There were many Christians who resisted this, and they were persecuted brutally. However, Christianity and the Bible were doing JUST FINE before Rome ever came on the scene.

2 Great Articles That Challenge The Theory Of Evolution On The Evidence

Today we wanted to share two more great articles that challenge the theory of evolution on the evidence.

This first article does a great job of examining the "dating methods" that the evolutionists use. They are not nearly as "objective" as we have been led to believe:

http://evolution-facts.org/Ev-V1/1evlch07a.htm

The second article we wanted to share with you today has to do with irreducible complexity. The process of clotting our blood seems somewhat basic, but did you know that there are over 20 complex steps involved? This great article does a great job of showing how even a relatively simple process such as blood clotting could not possibly have "evolved":

-A source in one of Russia's security organizations is claiming that Georgia planned the military operation against South Ossetia a year in advance.

-Russia is warning Moldova against making a "Georgian mistake".

-The Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a media briefing in Moscow on Monday that Russia has new information that Georgia is planning an attack on Abkhazia to seize the capital city of Sukhumi.

-Meanwhile, the U.S. military is considering taking military action in Pakistan.

U.S. Government Data - There Are Over 70,000 American Deaths + Over 1 Million American Disabilities From The Iraq Wars

The American people are not being told the truth.

According to official U.S. government data, there have been over 70,000 American deaths and more than 1 million American disabilities as a result of the two Iraq wars.

That is a lot more casualties than we have been led to believe.

America has committed one of the greatest war crimes in all of human history. If you do not know about the horror of depleted uranium weapons and how they are killing thousands of our own troops, then you need to get informed.

We are fighting our wars with nuclear waste, and it is causing tremendous problems.

You can learn more about these issues from the article that is excerpted below:

----

http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Frontpage/2008/03/21/02286.html

According to U.S. media reports, there are well below 5,000 U.S. soldiers who have been killed in Iraq. However, this data appears to be very misleading. Why? Because many tens of thousands of American soldiers have apparently been killed to-date, as a result of being exposed to radiation poisoning from the indiscriminate killing machines of U.S. military weaponry. Ironically, the only Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that Americans soldiers have found in Iraq are "Made in America".

U.S. investigative researchers have discovered an official U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs official, but not well publicized count, of 73,846 U.S. soldiers who have perished as an apparent result of Depleted Uranium based bio-chemical warfare exposure. This exceeds an estimate of 58,000 U.S. soldiers who had been killed in relation to the Vietnam War.

Well over 200,000 American soldiers could be killed by 2010, as a result of the after effects of exposure to U.S. dirty bombs.

Over One million U.S. soldiers have apparently been disabled from Depleted Uranium based biochemical exposure. Over one million Iraqis have also been documented to have been killed.

A Story Of Slavery In Sudan

The following story about the horror of slavery in Sudan is originally from The Voice Of The Martyrs:

----

The brass shackle is called, in Arabic, a "bacle". Peter held it out as if it were a sacred object. It was a reminder of his family's past and of Peter's great blessing.

His grandfather had made the bacle, but it was not a craft project. In fact, he was forced to wear it by his Islamic masters. Peter's grandfather, though harassed and tormented by his Mulsim masters, would not join their faith. He held fast to his faith in Christ, and his body bore the scars of his refusal. Because he was not a Muslim, he was seen as nothing more than an animal.

Shortly before he died, Peter's grandfather had the bacle removed and gave it to Peter's father. "Our family will not always be slaves," he said, "but we must never forget."

Later Peter's father gave it to him, and he carried it with him when he escaped from his Muslim owner and fled to freedom. Today it is no longer a sign of ownership, but a sign of God's overcoming power. It is a symbol of God's hand on a family, working through three generations to bring them to freedom.

"Never forget my people," he urged. "Never stop praying for persecuted Christians in Sudan."

Why Do So Few Men Go To Church In The United States?

Why are so few men attending church in the United States?

Did you know that the typical American church draws a crowd that's 61% female and 39% male?

Did you know that on any given Sunday there are 13 million more women than men in America's churches?

Did you know that every Sunday almost 25 percent of married, churchgoing women will worship without their husbands in America?

Did you know that as many as 90 percent of the boys who are being raised in church in America will abandon it by their 20th birthday?

So why is there such a spiritual gender gap in America?

Do Reason, Logic And Science Destroy The Foundations Of Christianity?

Everywhere you go on the internet, and I mean EVERYWHERE, there are debates going on about Christianity. There are thousands upon thousands of "intellectuals", atheists, skeptics, philosophers and other self-appointed "experts" who constantly claim that faith and reason are mutually exclusive, and that those who are skeptical of the Christian faith are the ones who have the intellectual high ground.

Now when skeptics attack most religions, they DO have the intellectual high ground. For when one closely examines such "faiths" as Islam or Hinduism one does find that logic, reason and real, hard evidence are directly contradictory to these belief systems.

However, Christianity is the one faith that is different. It is our assertion that there is no conflict between Christianity and the truth.

If you look into it, Christianity has a MOUNTAIN of evidence. Those who have really studied these things know the truth.

Dr. Simon Greenleaf (Harvard University - one of the greatest professors of Law in U.S. history) has said: "According to the laws of legal evidence used in courts of law, there is more evidence for the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for just about any other event in history."

So what do you think?

We have studied these matters for 20 years, and we have come to the conclusion that after you have asked all the questions, and after you have done all the research, the evidence does lead to an overwhelming conclusion:

Christianity is true.

But the sad reality is the the vast, vast majority of Christians don't know how to defend the Christian faith. Why? Because the church has done an absolutely MISERABLE job of teaching their people about the evidence for Christianity. So when Christians come up against atheists, skeptics and self-appointed, know-it-all "experts" they don't know how to respond.

I urge you to investigate these matters for yourself. Here are some great places to get started:

-God DOES exist. The following short videos are by an ex-atheist and ex-evolutionist who is a graduate of Yale Law School. These videos drive atheists and skeptics crazy, but for a fuller treatment of this topic, please read Strobel's excellent book entitled "The Case For A Creator":

Russia Claims That Georgia Had The Approval Of The United States When It Attacked South Ossetia

Russia claims that Georgia's attack on South Ossetia was almost certainly executed with the approval of the United States.

Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, told Russia's NTV television:

"It is hard to imagine that (Georgian President Mikheil) Saakashvili embarked on this risky venture without some sort of approval from the side of the United States".

Meanwhile, Russian troops and armor have moved into at least three Georgian towns, ignoring persistent demands by the United States that Russia respect "Georgia's territorial integrity".

Reuters reports that Russian troops are in the central Georgian town of Gori and outside the western town of Zugdidi.

At the same time, the U.S. military is getting more involved in the crisis. Official Defense Department spokesman Brian Whitman stated that the U.S. is helping Georgia rebuild the military strength it has lost so far in the war with Russia.

Busted! CNN Caught Using Russian Cameraman's Footage Of Georgia Killing Civilians And Blaming It On The Russians!

How stupid does CNN think we are?

There are always lies and propaganda on the news, but this takes it to an extreme.

CNN has been caught using footage of Georgian forces slaughtering citizens in the South Ossetian city of Tskhinvali and actually saying on air that the footage is of Russians killing civilians in the Georgian town of Gori.

Fortunately the Russian camerman who took the footage has come forward and now CNN is busted:

Is Russia Right? Is Georgia The Bad Guy In The South Ossetia War?

Over the past several days, the American media has been relentlessly portraying the Russians as the bad guy in the South Ossetia conflict.

But are the Russians right? Are the Georgians the ones who are really wrong?

When the USSR originally disbanded, South Ossetia and Abkhasia voted to stay with Russia, not Georgia. The voter turnout was around 95% and about 99% of those voters elected to stay with Russia. The United States has tried to undermine that democratic choice ever since then.

We must keep in mind that in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Russian troops are very popular. They are seen as the protectors. In fact, Vladimir Putin's picture is more widely displayed than that of the South Ossetian president. The Russians are seen as the only hope of protectoring against a repeat of the ethnic cleansing the Georgians tried before.

Back in 1992, the Western world backed Eduard Shevardnadze's attempts to reassert Georgia's control over South Ossetia and Abkhazia. That war was a disaster for Georgia. It left over 300,000 refugees "cleansed" from South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and for Ossetians and Abkhazians their mistreatment by Georgian troops is a very bitter memory.

On Thursday night and into Friday morning, Georgia was the first one to attack. They killed Russian peacemakers and purposely targeted civilians in South Ossetia.

But have we heard this on the news?

No, and Russia is quite upset about this media bias:

http://en.rian.ru/russia/20080810/115936076.html

And contrary to Western media reports, Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia said on Sunday that Georgian forces remain in the area, and are shelling apartment blocks in the capital of South Ossetia.

Vladimir Putin said this yesterday about Georgia's actions : "This is full-scale genocide... They have completely lost their minds."

Posted below is a video which provides some perspective on this war. An American man living in South Ossetia says that U.S. and Georgian leaders are responsible for the violence that has killed 2,000 people there. This video has some stunning footage of what is really going on:

WAR Update: Georgia Completely Withdraws From South Ossetia

The war between Russia and Georgia is continuing to heat up.

Georgian troops completely retreated from South Ossetia on Sunday and the Georgian government is pressing for a truce. Of course, who would have thought that Georgia was going to be able to out-muscle Russia?

Russia is a superpower.

Georgia is not.

The intense fighting has left the region of South Ossetia a total mess. The city of Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, is a complete disaster zone after three days of intense fighting between Russian troops and Georgian forces.

Meanwhile, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili says that Russian forces have invaded the Georgian province of Abkhazia after taking control of most of South Ossetia. Russia is also moving warships towards Abkhazia.

There are also rumors flying around the Ukraine is considering getting involved in the conflict on some level. If Ukraine took any hostile action towards Russia at this point, things could really spiral out of control quite quickly.

WAR! Russia Invades Georgia As Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin Proclaims "War Has Started"

A new war has begun today.

Russian forces are pouring into the disputed region South Ossetia right now. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has told the world, "war has started" and Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili is accusing its neighbor of a "well planned invasion."

Saakashvili said that his country is under intense attack by Russian tanks and warplanes, and he is accusing Russia of intentionally targeting civilians.

"All day today, they've been bombing Georgia from numerous warplanes and specifically targeting (the) civilian population, and we have scores of wounded and dead among (the) civilian population all around the country," Saakashvili told CNN.

"This is the worst nightmare one can encounter," he added.

Thousands of refugees are fleeing South Ossetia to the Russian region of North Ossetia-Alania.

When asked whether Russia and Georgia are now at war, Saakashvili said, "My country is in self-defense against Russian aggression. Russian troops invaded Georgia."

Jesus Always Claimed To Be God, The New Testament Writers And Early Christians Believed He Is God And All True Christians Recognize Christ's Deity

If you go around the internet today, you will find relentless attacks on the deity of Christ. It seems that whether it is Muslims, atheists, skeptics, pagans or liberal theologians, there seems to be a stronger attack on the deity of Jesus than ever before.

The reality is not what is portrayed in the Davinci Code and other distorted books and movies that have been coming out.

The truth is that Jesus always claimed to be God, and that Christians always believed that Jesus was God from the very beginning of the church.....

Jesus claimed to be God:

John 8:58

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"


Compare the above passage to Exodus 3:14.....

God said to Moses, "I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "

Here is another passage where Jesus claimed to be God:

John 10:30-33

"I and the Father are one."


Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, 32but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"

"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."


Jesus also accepted worship as God.

John 20:28

Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"


Notice that Jesus did not correct him.

In the scriptures whenever an angel is worshipped, the angel quickly corrects that person and tells that person not to do it, but Jesus always accepts the worship of mankind in the Scriptures.

Jesus forgave sins, which is something only God can do:

Mark 2:3-7

Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"


The New Testament writers clearly testified that Jesus is God:

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


Who was the Word? It was Jesus.

John 1:14

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.


There are many additional scriptures that show that the early Christians CLEARLY believed that Jesus is God:

Titus 2:13

while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ

2 Peter 1:1

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours


Hebrews 1:8

But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom


Hebrews 1:3

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Colossians 2:9

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form


Romans 9:5

Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised!


So we can definitely see that the clear testimony of the New Testament is that Jesus is God. In fact, according to Colossians 1:16, He is your Creator:

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

The film posted below clearly shows from the Scriptures that Jesus believed that He is God, and that the early Christians believed that He was God from the very beginning:

Three Devastating Questions To Ask Evolutionists & Three Points Which Destroy The Theory Of Evolution And Show That Intelligent Design Is A Reality

"I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has."

-Malcolm Muggeridge (world famous journalist and philosopher), Pascal Lectures, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Here are three questions which I would love to hear evolutionists try to answer:

1) Which evolved first: the mouth, the stomach, the digestive fluids, or the ability to poop?

2) Which evolved first: the windpipe, the lungs, or the ability of the body to use oxygen?

3) Which evolved first: the bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or the muscles to move the bones?

Conceivably, you could continue this exercise forever. The reality is that the body has a huge variety of incredibly complex systems which completely rely on other incredibly complex systems that cannot function on their own. Evolutionists just tend to ignore this bit of common sense.

3 key points which destroy the theory of evolution:

1) If evolution was true, we should have millions of transitional fossils.

But the reality is this:

"I fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them. You suggest that an artist should be used to visualise such transformations, but where would he get the information from? I could not, honestly, provide it, and if I were to leave it to artistic license, would that not mislead the reader?"

-Dr. Colin Patterson, senior paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, in letter to Luther Sunderland, April 10, 1979. Cited in: Sunderland, Luther D., Darwin's Enigma: Fossils and Other Problems (El Cajon, CA: Master Books, 1988), p. 89.

Now, at this point the evolutionists and atheists will usually trot out the same handful of incredibly weak, incredibly laughable examples of "transitional forms" that have been debunked and discredited time after time (for example Archaeopteryx):

http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v1/i1/archaeopteryx.asp

However, the reality is that if evolution was true there would be millions upon millions of very clear transitional fossils.

But there is a problem.

They are simply not there.

Evolutionist Stephen M. Stanley, Johns Hopkins University:

"In fact, the fossil record does not convincingly document a single transition from one species to another." The New Evolutionary Timetable, 1981, p.95.

The reality is that the "missing links" have always been missing.

2) If evolution was true, then we should see an "evolutionary tree" in the fossil record, with complex life developing very slowly from earlier less complex forms. Instead, we see the sudden, instant appearance of complex life in the fossil record (evolutionists refer to this as the Cambrian explosion):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrian_explosion

The truth is that complex life first appeared on the earth in a very sudden, explosive manner.

There is no denying it.

There is no getting around it.

3) In addition, evolutionists are at a complete loss for how to explain the creation of new information that is required for one animal to turn into another animal.

As another article explains:

"The key issue is the type of change required — to change microbes into men requires changes that increase the genetic information content, from over half a million DNA ‘letters’ of even the ‘simplest’ self-reproducing organism to three billion ‘letters’ (stored in each human cell nucleus)."

The evolutionists cannot show us a single example of functional new information being added to any creature.

Evolutionist Stephen J. Gould, Harvard:

"Every paleontologist knows that most species don't change. That's bothersome....brings terrible distress. ....They may get a little bigger or bumpier but they remain the same species and that's not due to imperfection and gaps but stasis. And yet this remarkable stasis has generally been ignored as no data. If they don't change, its not evolution so you don't talk about it." Lecture at Hobart & William Smith College, 14/2/1980.

Christians, when you are in a debate with a Darwinist, this is an outstanding question to ask of them:

Do you have enough blind faith to believe that life just popped into existence from nonlife, and that such life just happened to have the ability to take in the nourishment it needed, to expel waste, and to reproduce itself, all the while having everything it needed to survive in the environment in which it suddenly found itself?

Also, we have a standing challenge for any evolutionists, skeptics or atheists to go debunk these videos:

http://www.leestrobel.com/Creator.htm

If you can debunk those videos then you are better than any evolutionist we have ever met.

"Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless."

-Professor Louis Bounoure, past president of the Biological Society of Strassbourg, Director of the Strassbourg Zoological Museum, Director of Research at the French National Center of Scientific Research. (Quoted in The Advocate, March 8, 1984.)

What Do Barack Obama And The Montauk Monster Have In Common?

What do Barack Obama and the "Montauk Monster" have in common?

Neither one of them has a legitimate birth certificate.

A shadowy document expert named "Techdude" has found the original text on the alleged Barack Obama birth certificate, and has proven conclusively that it is a fraud:

http://thepoliticaljungle.blogspot.com/2008/08/techdude-has-found-original-text-on.html

Other tech experts have picked up on Techdude's work and have found that the original name on Barack Obama's fake birth certificate is "Maya Kassandra Soetoro", Barack Obama's half sister. A careful examination of the high resolution image originally posted on the Daily Kos blog and subsequently claimed as authentic by Barack Obama's campaign has led two analysts to both come to the same conclusion. Working independently, they have been able to clearly discern the name of "Maya Kassandra Soetoro" from "artifacts" left behind during the process of forging Obama's fake birth certificate:

http://thepoliticaljungle.blogspot.com/2008/08/original-name-on-barack-obamas-fake.html

There is speculation that Obama may have actually been born in Kenya or in Canada.

But we will never really know until Obama produces his real birth certificate, now will we?

As for the "Montauk Monster" pictured above, does anyone out there know what in the world this thing is?

Apparently it is quite REAL, but nobody knows what in the world it is:
