This “fact check” article<\/a> by Sudiksha Kochi<\/strong> at USA Today was written more than 12 years after I obtained the referenced birth certificate (Barack Obama’s 1961 Kenyan Birth Certificate issued by the Coast Province General Hospital, Mombasa, British Protectorate of Kenya)<\/strong> and returned to the United States with a certified copy and provided it to the press and to the Courts.<\/p>\n\n

Why the need for this fact check article 12 years later over a 2021 Facebook post (not by me, I’ve never had a Facebook account in my life) by a random facebook user which, according to the referenced article, generated a whopping walloping 70 (yes, seventy) shares over the course of a week.<\/p>\n

Something seems off. I don’t like guessing but maybe (but probably not) the writer of the USA Today article posted the image herself on Facebook using a fake account because she needed something to fact check?<\/p>\n

I have no idea but anything makes more sense than USA Today “fact checking” a random facebook post which was shared just 70 times (and even that was over the course of an entire week).<\/p>\n

So who is Sudiksha Kochi?<\/strong> Evidently she has a book coming out called “Unfiltered”<\/em><\/strong> about “how to combat misinformation.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to her Indiegogo campaign<\/a> (not fully funded ($2,493 of $5000 goal) so I don’t think she received the money although I’m not certain how it works nowadays, maybe “partially funded” is an option which can be selected at the outset of a campaign) the book was supposed to have been published in August of 2021.<\/p>\n

At any rate, it appears that (based on what I was or wasn’t able to find through online searches) it has not yet been published and the most recent information about the book (found on her Linkedin profile) indicates that it is (or at least was) to be published this month of May, 2022 by New Degree Press.<\/p>\n

We’ll see.<\/p>\n

Here’s a PDF of her Indiegogo campaign (it’s also saved in the Wayback Machine<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n
