The Obama Conspiracy Theories irony meter has been pegged at maximum since the inception of the site. Since 2010 it has threatened to go critical on an almost daily basis. Today, triggered by the following self-ironic comment, it blew.
PetJake: This place is overflowing with condescending, egotistical, liberal elitist Stupors who can only get their points across by belittling everyone else who has a differing view.

Ron Polland (aka Ron Polarik) has been interviewed over at the Post & Email blog. It was a real love fest between him and interviewer Sharon Rondeau with her feeding him juicy questions and not asking any of the obvious tough follow-up questions, and Polland pontificating about how clever he is.
Polland’s image analysis has been discredited, and there’s no value in my plowing that field again. Anyone that believed Polland/Polarik the first time around isn’t going to be convinced by a rational argument anyway. For the original debunking, visit Bad Science: How Not To Do Image Analysis Part II.
No, what I want to try to focus on is what Polland reveals about himself in the piece. I was struck by this one very interesting statement (although not intentionally said about himself):
A person whose sole motive is to discredit someone else is a person who will lie, cheat, and steal to accomplish it…
Polland sees himself at the center of things and the victim of those “whose sole motive is to discredit him” as though he were that important. (more…)
Ron Polland (the fake Internet document expert who used to call himself Dr. Ron Polarik) has produced the most outrageously fraudulent, lie filled, and total bullshit video on YouTube that I have ever seen. I was left speechless by the breadth and the audacity of it.
Given that his PhD is real, he must not be an idiot. What does that leave? You figure it out.
Here is the damned thing, but first I spit on it. I hope Dr. Fukino sues his sorry ass. This video is clearly malicious slander.
Update: One of the points Polland makes that I haven’t talked about on this blog before relates to his claim that the State of Hawaii changed the form of their birth certificate just to somehow (and it’s vague to me for what purpose) legitimize the Obama posted Birth Certificate (COLB) that Polland claims is a forgery.
Published comments from the Department of Health tell us that the Department went paperless in 2001 and the form revision date at the bottom of the Obama COLB (printed in 2007) shows a revision date of 11/01. Polarik makes a huge deal that the State changed the COLB in 2008, in the SAME MONTH that Dr. Fukino made a public statement saying the the State of Hawaii had Obama’s records according to regulation. However, if you had asked me whether or not Hawaii had changed the certificate in 2008 without any reference to Obama, I would had said that likely they did. Why? Because the National Standard Birth Certificate, published by the National Center for Health Statistics, changed in 2003 and states typically follow with the redesign of their systems in about 3-7 years. (Some take longer.) Therefore we would normally expect Hawaii to tweak the certificate around 2008.
Thanks for the comments left here by others who have followed more closely the every changing version of truth coming from Ron Polland.
Back in July of 2009, I wrote an article here titled: Clearing the smoke, or blowing more smoke? The article was a piece by piece demolition of a faux investigative report commissioned by an alleged anonymous former intelligence officer that in reality was nothing but lies and half lies. That “report” was hosted on Joseph (WND) Farah’s blog called WesternJournalism.com under the title: “Clearing the Smoke on Obama’s Eligibility: An Intelligence Investigator’s June 10 Report”.
Now the “report” has been updated, again at WesternJournalism.com, as Clearing the Smoke on Obama’s Eligibility Updated. The original version of the article is just as stupid as the new one, with gems like:
Most people think of an original birth certificate as a state or hospital document containing a statement by a doctor or midwife. The hospital document usually is accompanied by a footprint.
Then the article presents what it describes as an example of an authentic original birth certificate without footprints. 
What has changed in the updated version is not notable, but what has disappeared is. The original version said:
Ron Polarik has made what several experts claim to be a cogent case that it is a forgery. There have been a couple of attempts to refute his argument and Polarik has replied to the most extensive of them. I do not claim expertise in this area, but I think it would be best for journalists and politicians to familiarize themselves with the arguments on both sides before they casually dismiss Polarik’s position without taking the trouble to understand it.
I guess now that Polarik has been identified, exposed and shown to have no special image analysis expertise, he is persona non grata at Farah’s place. So Polarik vanishes. (more…)
The Barackyphal Blog claims to have identified the figure behind Ron Polarik as Dr. Ronald Polland. What is remarkable, if this identification is true, is that the man behind the Ron Polarik mask really does have a PhD in Instructional Systems, albeit no credentials in computer imaging (which anyone who had the stomach to wade through his “analysis” knows).
I was all over Florida State graduates in Instructional Systems half a year ago, but somehow I didn’t find the fellow. I could kick myself!
Now if we could just prove that this fellow is a descendant of the Bulgarian financier Petko Strashnika, the identification would be cemented.
Here is the latest rant from Polarik in a post titled “We were warned…” over at the Free Republic site.
Update:
It appears that lawyer Phil Berg has confirmed the identification.
Further evidence Polarik is Polland!
With this additional information, I believe the Polarik/Polland association is proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
I have said many times in private that whoever outed Ron Polarik would be doing a tremendous service to the United States. Huge thanks to Loren at the Barackryphal blog for this.
Update:
Aha! The Bulgarian is Polland’s wife. So we come full circle.
I think Loren should be voted man of the year.!
according to pseudonym-about-town “Ron Polarik” in a set of recent postings on FreeRepublic.com. Ron said:
I already examined that photo and all of the other class photos — they are all faked.
Here on Obama Conspiracy Theories, we don’t PhotoShop images because I’m too cheap to buy a copy. Some of the images, however, are PhotoImpacted to crop or re-size them. But resizing is not “faking”, and “faked” is the word Ron Polarik (not her real name) used.

“Ron Polarik” is the pseudonym of a human being who claims to be an expert in the detection of altered document images. Polarik is mentioned as an expert in the Berg lawsuit and he appears under the further pseudonym XXXXXXXXXXXX in the Alan Keyes lawsuit in Hawaii.[1] Polarik publishes a web site Obamas bogus birth certificate exposed. Polarik also has a YouTube video.
It’s somewhat difficult to write a biographical sketch of someone who invents himself out of thin air. Polarik creates a history for himself at various times and places. The most comprehensive version is in the Keyes lawsuit, where Polarik claims academic credentials, and indeed, he often signs his name as Ronald Polarik, PhD.
I am Dr. XXXXXXXXXXXX, and I hold a PhD in Instructional Systems with 25+ years of post-doctoral work experience, and a Masters Degree in Educational Research, Design, and Testing. I have worked with computers and computer printers, plotters, and optical/digital scanners, typesetting, offset printing, and automatic typewriters, for over thirty (30) years…In my professional career I have held positions as a Computer Programmer, Web Designer, Media Consultant, Research Director and Statistician. I have testified as a Statistical Expert in Governmental hearings over the last twenty (20) years.
In a later statement this distinguished person said “I’d say that I punk’d you good enough.”
A computer image analysis expert, Dr. Neal Krawetz, has analyzed Polarik’s work and published his results describing Polarik’s analysis as “bad science”.
Why would anyone doubt the word of a US Senator who puts forward a birth certificate, and then turn around and accept an analysis of it from someone who won’t even give his right name?
I suppose the guy behind Ron thinks this is fun, making fake affidavits files in court cases, spouting bad science as if it were real, keeping tens of thousands of people in an uproar. I suppose he is laughing at the people who have bought his phony PhD. Personally, I think the guy belongs in jail. I hope some prosecutor will figure out a crime that matches his hoax and let “Ronald Polarik, PhD” learn how a real court works.
