奥巴马死人社保号码

这其实不是关于一个社保号码。它涉及一种更深层次的现象：

巴拉克·奥巴马的整个个人历史就是一个镜子迷宫。被封存的学术记录。一位文学经纪人的简介中将他的出生地列为肯尼亚（后来归咎于“事实核查错误”）。

一份花了好几年才发布的出生证明，却立即遭到法医文件审查员的质疑。

一个带有康涅狄格州前缀的社保号码，尽管他当时住在夏威夷。一张显示出篡改迹象的征兵登记卡。一位母亲不知何故在1961年怀孕晚期前往肯尼亚——当时商业航空公司甚至不允许孕妇登机的目的地。

每一个单独的异常都有一个官方的“解释”。一个打字错误。一个文员的失误。一个误解。但当你把它们全部堆积起来时，你面对的是一个会让任何诚实的精算师头晕目眩的统计学上的不可能。

路德维希的社保号码理论在具体号码上可能事实上是错误的。但它试图回答的问题——为什么这个人的证件周围有这么多怪事？——仍然完全合理。

那么，中情局的参与是什么？为什么？

The Obama Deadman’s SSN

This isn’t really about one SSN. It’s about a much deeper phenomenon:

Barack Obama’s entire personal history is a hall of mirrors. Sealed academic records. A literary agent’s bio that listed his birthplace as Kenya (later blamed on a “fact-checking error”).

A birth certificate that took years to release and was immediately challenged by forensic document examiners.

A Social Security number with a Connecticut prefix when he lived in Hawaii. A Selective Service registration card that shows signs of alteration. A mother who somehow traveled to Kenya in the third trimester of pregnancy in 1961—a destination that commercial airlines at the time wouldn’t even allow pregnant women to board for.

Each individual anomaly has an institutional “explanation.” A typo. A clerk’s error. A misunderstanding. But when you stack them all up, you’re looking at a statistical improbability that would make any honest actuary’s head spin.

The Ludwig SSN theory may be factually wrong on the specific number. But the question it’s trying to answer—why is there so much weirdness around this man’s documentation?—remains entirely legitimate.

And what was the CIA’s involvement? And why? @TonySeruga http://t.cn/AXSouNk7
