The length they will go to. The distance in your eyes.

Tattoo artists don’t use computer printers, transfer letters, or Leroy lettering kits. The Microsoft New Tai Lue font came out with Windows 7.

To let the President of the United States attest a doctored photograph as truthful is to make a joke of the FBI and Pam Bondi’s office. Pam Bondi’s credibility is nil. Null. Void. Nada. Zippo. The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia - a 29-year-old from El Salvador who was deported from the US in March - has prompted a legal showdown over the administration's immigration policy.

Judges all the way up to the US Supreme Court have ruled that Abrego Garcia was deported in error and that the US government should help "facilitate" his return to his home in Maryland.

But the White House has accused Abrego Garcia of being a member of a transnational gang MS-13, a newly designated foreign terrorist organization, saying he "will never live" in the US again. Except MS-13 is from m Los Angeles.

False Evidence. What I babble about here is a mish mash of photography, typography, computer word processing, and professional printing trades. My learning began when I was 14 in Germany in 1963. I spent hours and hours in a photo dark room, taught by a German expert to develop film and to print, develop, and dry photos. By 1973, I was running an Addressograph 2850 printing press.

In 1983, I began word processing with Wordstar on a CPM-based personal computer. That evolved through WordPerfect and Word and then into integrating desktop publishing apps like Ventura, PageMaker, Interleaf, FrameMaker, and Indesign. A 2-week course in Photoshop married my photography skills and my computer publishing knowledge. By 1991, I had started my own publishing house which I sold in 2006. I managed that until 2014. Let’s just say mine is a studied photo and printer’s eye that just saw an eye opener.

Will they really try such immature sleight of hand? No matter what the President tries to do with a Sharpie, his sleight of hand isn’t good enough to try this fraud. Here is Abrego Garcia’s tattooed hand with the doctored up MS13 added to the photo.

Bottom Line Up Front. The Microsoft New Tai Lue font used for the MS13 “tattoos” has a photo clarity that is just an little out of focus. There is way much more “out of focus” in the other tattoos. That alone says “doctored photo” to me. Likewise the alignment of the lettering of the S, 1, and 3 is off center from the finger bones. Note the S, 1, and 3 are to the right of the bone center line. The M is dead on. It is as if someone tried to even up the out of focuses and then did their best to space the letters. The spacing is the same between M and S and between 1 and 3. The spacing between S and 1 is greater, as if someone hit the space bar one too many times.

The Font. I ran through over 1,000 fonts to narrow down and pinpoint the exact font used for the MS13: Microsoft New Tai Lue. This is a computer-only font. Graphic Designer and Computer Forensics specialist Daniel Schumaker taught me how to assess fonts at lightspeed.

If you ask me how this was done, I would say the MS13 was printed on a transparent sheet, and laid over the hand photograph, then printed on a copy machine. The MS13 is slightly tilted to the right, and that would be the cause of those letters S, 1, and 3 missing the center of the knuckle bones.

Microsoft New Tai Lue font is not sold for lettering with a Leroy machine. It is not available as transfer lettering sheets. Type fonts are not used by tattoo artists that hand letter every single dot. Sometimes they use decals which are not available in Microsoft New Tai Lue font.

My forensics are not as good as Daniel Schumaker’s (RIP). I am sure he have could have added way more. Oh, and I miss Daniel…

Research. Research. Research. I will spend my time researching much more. It is time consuming to find the right and the credible source data, but worth it. I kind of think I need to back up my opinions with CONCRETE. I hold CONCRETE dear.

I will also spend my time and money protesting and discrediting the crooks in power. I will do these things until they shoot me. That is how I will ensure equitable equality—as Jackson Browne sang—til I go down.
