$10,000 REWARD OFFERED FOR PROOF SARAH PALIN GAVE BIRTH TO SON TRIG 

NEWPORT, KY (September X, 2011) – A journalism professor at Northern Kentucky University has posted a flier on the Internet offering a $10,000 reward to anybody who can provide verifiable and irrefutable proof that Sarah Palin is the birth mother of Trig, the boy she claims she delivered on April 18, 2008. 

The flier shows two pictures of Palin, one taken 23 days before the alleged birth, the other five days before April 18, 2008. The pictures show a seemingly impossible change in the progress of Palin's pregnancy in that 18-day span. 

Over the last three years, numerous Internet sites have made the argument that Palin must have faked the birth. Circumstantial evidence supporting their theory includes the fact that no hospital has verified the birth, Palin waited until her seventh month to claim she was pregnant and often appeared remarkably slender for a 44-year-old mother having her fifth child, and Palin has never released Trig's birth certificate. Palin supporters have said that pictures can be deceiving, and that it is absurd to think she faked the birth. 

Brad Scharlott, an associate professor of journalism, has read rumors online for years, and is now offering the $10,000 reward because he wishes to find the truth about the controversy. 

"The circumstantial evidence that Sarah Palin pulled off a pregnancy hoax, possibly to enhance her political standing, seems overwhelming," Scharlott said, but added that he is still open to the possibility that Palin did give birth to Trig, and would gladly give the reward money to anyone who provides proof. 

The flier says that acceptable proof would include, but not necessarily be limited to, medical records, a birth certificate, or notarized statements from hospital personnel involved in the delivery.

How is THAT for upping the ante?

You know $10,000 might even be enough to tempt somebody VERY close to the Mama Grizzly!

Bristol, Willow, Track, Todd are you paying attention?

Previously unknown pictures of Levi Johnston holding Trig Palin at the Mat-Su Regional Hospital. Update!

Recently these two photos were discovered among a pile of pictures at Mercede and Sherry Johnston's home.

It is clearly a picture taken in one of the delivery rooms at Mat-Su as confirmed by THIS picture from Palingates, showing another couple with their newborn in a room that could be a carbon copy.

As you can see that is the same hideous couch, the same beige colored walls, and the same metal window frame.

Stamped on the back of these photos is the date May 13, 2008, indicating when they were developed.

According to Mercede the ONLY baby that her brother EVER visited in the hospital was little Trig. (Clarification: What Sadie meant was Trig was the ONLY baby she knew of that Levi visited in the hospital prior to May 13, 2008, when these pictures were developed. Obviously he was there when Tripp was born later in December, which is when the picture down at the bottom of this post was taken.) So now, for the first time, we have photographic evidence  that Levi was indeed at the hospital on the day that Trig was presented to the world as Sarah Palin's fifth child.

But did you notice anything about this baby?  Here take a closer look.

Does THAT look like a jaundiced premature newborn baby, only weighing a little over six pounds, to you?

Well if it doesn't, you are not alone. Mercede also felt that this baby was significantly larger than the baby that SHE held in her arms on May 3rd, only fifteen days later.

However, he looks to be much the same size as the baby held by the Chuck and Sally Heath, for the NBC reporters,

But are is my questions.

Since both of these pictures were taken at Mat-Su Regional Hospital, ostensibly on the day of Trig's "birth," why is he wearing a completely different hat and wrapped in a completely different blanket in the two sets of pictures?

Why was a premature baby with a hole in his heart, and a case of  jaundice, handed around like a little girl's babydoll only hours after his birth?

Why would a woman allow her daughter's boyfriend to sit in the delivery room and hold her newborn baby? (Especially considering this boy had stolen your child's virginity, and you had sent your daughter to live in another town to avoid him?)

In other words, just like most of the new evidence uncovered about Sarah Palin's pregnancy, these pictures actually bring up more questions than they answer.

By the way the pictures came off of Levi's camera, and were supposedly taken by Bristol.  That is essentially all that I know about them.

Your thoughts?

Update: Holy crap!  Where is the tattoo?

A very observant Bree Palin just pointed out that the "Johnston" tattoo that runs up Levi's forearm is not present in the pictures above, yet it is prominently displayed in the picture taken in the Palin's house two weeks after Trig's "birth."

WTF? Okay well fifteen days passed between the pictures taken at the hospital and ones taken on Levi's birthday, so he COULD have made a trip to the tattoo parlor during that time.  But if that is not when he received that tattoo then these pictures tell a far more interesting story than I originally thought they did. (Update: Mercede just sent me a text saying that Levi got that tattoo when he turned eighteen years old.  Which would have been the very day the picture up above was taken. I cannot speak as to WHY his tattoo is not still bandaged however. Mine bled for two days.)

Update 2: Many of you are bringing up THIS picture of Levi wearing the hospital bracelet. So let's address it shall we?

Sadie confirmed long ago that this was a picture of Levi with Tripp, and as you can see he looks significantly different than he does in the Mat-Su Hospital pictures up above. They were definitely NOT taken on the same day.  So let's put that conspiracy to rest.
