There are NO facts that prove Obama was born in Ha
Post# of 65629
The legend is Stanley Ann and the Kenyan were married on the island of Maui on February 2, 1961.
Obama, himself, tells us that his alleged father and mother’s wedding may not have been properly documented. In the fable, "Dreams...," Obama (with a little help from Bill Ayers) wrote:
"How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore.
There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were informed."
"May not have been properly documented."
How quaint! There's a lot of that, "not properly documented," stuff in Obama's life.
Michelle Obama is much more direct in her portrayal of the mythical marriage. She said Barry's own mother was "very young and very single when she had him."
There is no wedding license. There is no state-issued wedding certificate. There is no prima facie evidence of a marriage -- none!
There are three documents in the Kenyan's INS file that inquire about his marital status. He leaves this one (6/10/63), and this one (not dated -- post 8/61) unanswered.
On the second document, he claims one child -- Roy (Abongo).
On a third document (8/31/61) there's an entry stating he's married to "Ann S. Dunham." It's written in a different pen and handwriting (look at that capital "A" than the rest of the document, and in a text box that has been altered.
We know the Dunhams were still living at 2277 Kamehameha Ave. -- a few blocks from the university. If Stanley Ann was in Hawaii, and living with her parents as the Wood note suggests, it would be reasonable to conclude she would have continued with her studies. She would have completed the spring semester around her sixth month. Even pregnant, she could have easily finished out her freshman year.
So where was she?
The Kenyan had moved from 1482 Alencastre St., and was living in a small, single story wooden home located at 625 11th Ave., located in the St. Louis Heights area. Senior remained at 625 11th Avenue until he left Hawaii on June 22,1962 -- immediately after his after graduation. That house was torn down and a new home built in 1990.
Based on Sumi McCabe's complaints to the INS, it is reasonable to conclude that the Kenyan was still tomcating around and there is absolutely no evidence that Stanley Ann ever shared those quarters.
according to the famous "birth announcements," Stanley Ann and the Kenyan were living as a couple at the upscale 6085 Kalaniana'ole Highway, in a small bungalow behind the main house.
The problem is, Orland Scott Lefforge owned and occupied the house at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway.
The "Obamas" didn't live there. Mrs. Lefforge just happened to die 10 days prior to the appearance of the birth announcement that listed her address, so we can’t ask her, but we do know that the next door neighbor told investigators that, "his mama, and his papa never lived there."
Beatrice Arakaki affirmed she was a neighbor of the address listed. She has lived at her current residence of 6075 Kalanianaole Highway from before 1961 to the present. Mrs. Arakaki told investigators that "his 'mama,' and his 'papa' never lived there." Arakaki told investigators that she had no recollection of Obama being born or of the family living next door having a black child born to a white mother.
Not a shred of evidence links the Dunhams or Obamas to Kalanianaole Highway. Kalanianaole only surfaced in connection with the Obamas in July 2008 when the "birth announcements" were revealed.
I don’t think you'll be seeing a commemorative plaque on the old homestead anytime soon
We also know Stanley Ann was in Seattle when those birth announcements were published.
On September 11, 2009, in a speech to America's schoolchildren, Obama repeated one of his most flagrant lies from "Dreams...," saying, "My father left my family when I was 2 years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had."
When it comes to the circumstances of Barack Obama's birth, the only thing that we can be absolutely sure of is that Stanley Ann gave birth to a boy -- most likely on August 4, 1961 -- everything else is open to speculation.
Since Kapiolani, nor any other Hawaiian hospital, will confirm Obama was born in its facility or that Stanley Ann Dunham was ever a patient, it is probable, that if Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, he was born at home.
It is also possible that Dunham actually delivered Barry someplace close to Mercer Island -- like Vancouver.
The most compelling case for a Canadian birth is the age of the infant when Stanley Ann appeared at the home of her high school friend, Susan Blake shortly after Barry's birth -- unable to change little Barry's diaper -- and remember, in 1961 women usually stayed in the hospital for 5 to 7 days after giving birth.
Blake states, in this interview, that while Stanley was there she stayed with a friend of Stanley Ann's mother, even borrowed a car to come see Susan.
Was Stanley Ann's mother's friend really Stanley Ann's Aunt Eleanor?
The Dunhams want to get their daughter, Stanley Ann, away from the Kenyan, so they shipped the pregnant Stanley Ann off to Aunt Eleanor in Blaine Washington -- a little more than 100 miles from Seattle.
When she goes into labor, they have to run to White Rock to the nearest maternity hospital.
Madelyn Dunham finds out that the child is born in Canada, and immediately files a "born at Home" birth application to secure American Citizenship for her grandson. Might not be true, but it sounds more believable than the stuff Obama has proffered in his book.
Regardless of where Stanley Ann and the infant Barry were on August 4, 1961, they were in Seattle in time for Stanley Ann to register for classes at the University of Washington using a Capitol Hill apartment address, and to begin classes on August 19th -- 15 days after Barack's birth.
Dunham and her new son lived in Apartment 2 of the Villa Ria Apartments at 516 13th Avenue E on Capitol Hill. It was a three-story house that had been converted into three inexpensive apartments. Mrs. Toutonghi, the landlord, and her family lived in the basement apartment, and Ann Dunham -- Obama's mother -- lived in the apartment directly upstairs.
There was another sighting by Barbara Cannon Rusk: "I had moved to Utah for a while after high school, and I came back to Seattle in the summer of 1962. I remember visiting the World's Fair, and then stopping by Stanley Ann's apartment on Capitol Hill. It was a small apartment, upstairs. It was after June, and could have been as late as September, 1962. I visited her for half a day or so.
Between August, 1961 and March 1962, Stanley Ann enrolled in a total of four extension courses at the University of Washington (records), earning a total of 20 credits for her work in those courses, no small feat, considering that graduation required 180 credits, and the typical full-time student earned 45 credits a year.
There is no information about the whereabouts of Stanley Ann and Barry from the March 1992 until she returns to Hawaii and enrolls in the spring semester of the University of Hawaii.
It appears that Stanley Ann settles down a little after returning to Hawaii and the university. When Obama was almost 2, Ann returned to college at the University of Hawaii for the spring semester. Money was tight. She collected food stamps and relied on her parents to help take care of young Barack. She would get her bachelor's degree four years later.
The first little boy in the third row, left is "Barry Obama." Obama’s sister Maya Soetoro-Ng confirms that the boy is Obama.
Obama Sr. was still at the University of Hawaii, and graduated in 1962 while Stanley Ann was at University of Washington.
While studying for her bachelor's degree, Stanley Ann met another foreign student at the university and married Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo in March 1965, according to Stanley Ann's passport files.
Obama's Noelani Elementary School Kindergarten records, oddly missing from the State of Hawaii Department of Education -- just one more coincidence in a series of "coincidences."
Although Obama has had a first-class education that spanned 25 years, there is only a single document that has ever been released, the application for entrance to the Franciscus Assisi Primary School (next item) -- and that document was discovered by independent investigators.
This is an important feature because Kindergarten records for original school entry would have contained the following:
1. Obama's REAL Birth Certificate.
2. An application with the following:
• His Legal name.
• Parents or Legal Guardians’ names.
• Date of Birth
• Place of Birth
• Vaccination Records (revealing a timeline to the place and DOB.)
It also is important for two additional reasons:
A. The Department of Education does not "lose" the records of one particular student. (So, who paid whom what sum to make this record disappear?)
B. There would have been NO shameful low-test scores, NO embarrassing Equal Opportunity advancements, and NO trails of fraudulent funding to hide that could possibly "excuse" the quashing of public school Kindergarten entry records. For the rest of his life he attended very expensive private schools and has had his records legally sealed to deny the public his true life story.
This is different. Hawaii should be able to verify he attended their school since he is featured in class photographs. State and federal tax dollars paid for his initial year of education. Why is there no documentation?
This is the beginning of an intentionally erased life of a fraud and conman and it reeks of complicity by officials within the State of Hawaii’s Dept. of Health and Dept. of Education.
Obama joked during the primary campaign that his opponent (Hillary) was even digging into his Kindergarten records. He knows what they would contain and why they must be kept unavailable.
Lolo Soetoro and Stanley Ann were having difficulties that would only explain the removal of Barry from her passport in 1968 especially since the Indonesian Government in Soetoro’s words, any American, was in jeopardy there in Indonesia due to the anti-American feelings" is shown at page 103 of the U.S. Government memo of January 12, 1966 with pages marked 77 through 80 therein at page 78 regarding Lolo Soetoros request for a INA section 212(e) waiver and two year extension for his stay in the USA with Ann Soetoro, (that according to the US Government document of August 6, 1968 all three returned to Indonesia on July 20, 1966); Soetoro states:
Quote:
"Most importantly, anti-American feeling has reached a feverish pitch under the direction of the Indonesian communist party, and I have been advised by both family and friends in Indonesia that it would be dangerous to endeavor to return with my wife at the present time. Of secondary importance is the fact that my wife does not yet speak Indonesian. Not only would she be forced to cut short her college education, but she would be left in a position of isolation in the community."
In Obama's account of this move, he states his mother was shocked to discover how her new husband reverted to chauvinist Indonesian ways as soon as he left America and that Indonesia was a nasty right-wing dictatorship (although the latter doesn’t jibe with her spending much of the rest of her life in that country).
In "Dreams," he inadvertently sheds some light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, allegedly an anthropologist, but really a banker, she was Islamophile who hated America and subsequently went native.
Ann filed for divorce in 1980. As with Obama's father, she kept in regular contact with Lolo and did not pursue alimony or child support, according to divorce records. Lolo died in 1987.
Barry Soetoro, his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and his Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, moved into a one-story house in a district called Menteng-Dalam.
At the time, it was a new neighborhood where natives of Jakarta, known as Betawis, lived with an increasing number of newcomers from different corners of Java and Sumatra, the main islands in Indonesia. The area was connected to the electric grid only a couple of years before Obama moved in.
The Soetoro house in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the bedroom that Obama shared with a houseboy.
"It was a very poor area when the family came here," said Coenraad Satjakoesoemah, 79, a retired airline manager and a neighborhood leader. "There were still dirt roads, only a few houses and lots of large trees."
In Satjakoesoemah’s living room, Obama’s mother taught English to the neighborhood women, including his wife, Djumiati.While the residents regarded Obama’s mother as a "free spirit," Barry, who was chubby, was referred to as the "boy who runs like a duck," said Mrs. Satjakoesoemah, 69.
Obama’s family stayed instead in a humble neighborhood called Matraman-Dalam, on a short block of single-story, detached houses, a stone’s throw from a traditional Indonesian neighborhood of narrow, winding streets.
Obama’s family rented the guest house inside a compound belonging to a prominent physician.
There, according to the neighborhood’s longtime residents, the young Obama, who had already experienced differences in class and religion in his short stay in Indonesia, was exposed to another aspect of Jakarta’s diversity.
His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball.
Lolo Soetoro had been an official of the Director General s office in the TNI Topography division of the Indonesian Army.
He later becomes an executive with American Mobil Corporation, where he was a key liaison between the oil company and the Suharto regime. Suharto had been installed as the American friendly Indonesian President in 1967.
Obama writes, "Looking back, I'm not sure Lolo ever fully understood what my mother was going through ... why the things he was working so hard to provide for her seemed only to increase the distance between them ... He landed a job in the government relations department of an American oil company. ...
Sometimes I would overhear him and my mother arguing in their bedroom, usually about her refusal to attend his company dinner parties, where American businessmen from Texas and Louisiana would slap Lolo's back and boast about the palms they had greased to obtain the new offshore drilling rights, while their wives complained to my mother about the quality of Indonesian help.
He would ask her how it would look for him to go alone, and remind her that these were her own people, and my mother's voice would rise to almost a shout."
"They [the Americans] are not my people!"
There was at least the suggestion of violent discord between them. When Anna refused to go with her husband to socialize with American executives in Jakarta when he was working for an Indonesian oil company, and after coming home late from a teaching job servants saw her with a towel covering up blood on her face, although nobody ever confirmed any domestic violence.
Indonesia -- 1967 -- Was Barry Adopted?
Obama arrived in Indonesia at about the age of five according to most accounts, although it was possible he arrived at the age of six, according to a few sources.
At some time, Lolo Soetoro adopted Barry, and Barry would have automatically become an Indonesian citizen according to the country’s laws in the 1960s, which stipulated any child is immediately granted Indonesian citizenship upon completion of the adoption process.
We know that Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. His half-sister Maya stated so publically.
As evidence that an adoption occurred, there are the following artifacts:
1. The registration document from the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School (next item), in Jakarta, Indonesia. Barry Soetoro is registered as a "citizen" of Indonesia.
2. According to Indonesian legal experts, only Indonesian citizens could attend state-operated public schools, and Barry would attend two of them.
3. In the divorce documents (page1 and page2), Lolo Soetoro is described as "father" -- "husband has not contributed to support of wife and children" -- "oldest child in university" -- and this curious note, "both mother and child are U. S. citizens while father an Indonesian citizen."
We know from the Stanley Ann/Lolo 1980 divorce documents that "the parties" were the parents of one child under 18 [Maya] and one child over 18 but still dependent on the parties for his education [Barry].
The divorce was filed/granted in Hawaii. That Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro is not in the realm of speculation. It is fact.
There is accumulating evidence that Anna was something of an expert at taking advantage living abroad, while carefully keeping one foot in the US of A for herself and her children.
"The Indonesian Citizenship Law states that children's citizenship is derived solely from the citizenship of the father.
Children of citizen mothers and foreign fathers are considered foreigners and require visas to remain in the country until the age of 18, at which time they may apply for citizenship.
They are prohibited from attending public schools and must attend private, international schools, which usually are more expensive.
Christopher Strunk, who in November 2008 requested copies of Obama’s mother’s passport file from the State Department under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), finally received a response which includes 12 pages of documents.
On document P2, the second page of that document, In her own handwriting, Anna wrote in the block named "Amend to Include (Exclude) Children" the name of her son Barack Hussein Obama, and then right below his Indonesian name, spelled and in parenthesis as (Soebarkah), presumably to allow Obama (Soebarkah) to travel as a minor under her passport.
As time passes, and more and more clues surface, it is becoming apparent that Barack Obama was, indeed, a citizen of Indonesia, by adoption, and probably a holder of an Indonesian passport.
The "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" blog reports that Obama's Indonesian schooling began when he was entered into the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School, in Jakarta, Indonesia, on January 1, 1968 and sat in class 1B. His teacher has been identified as Fermina Katarina Sinaga (translation, next item).
He was registered under the name of Barry Soetoro, serial number 203. The school registration document identifies Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen and his religion was identified as Islam.
This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiscus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro into the Catholic school made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. The document lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen, born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, and shows his Muslim step-father listed the boy's religion as Islam.
Obama then entered the Besuki Primary School, a state school. He was enrolled as Indonesian citizen, Barry Soetoro, Muslim. He would attend Besuki for two years.
Iis Darmawan, 63, Obama's teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. "He wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,'" the teacher said. Here are Barry's school records:
ObamaCrimes.com reports that at the time Barry Soetoro was in Indonesia, all Indonesian students were required to carry government identity cards or Karty Tanda Pendudaks, as well as family card identification called a Kartu Keluarga. The Kartu Keluarga is a family card which bears the legal names and citizenship status of all family members.
Soetoro/Obama was registered in a public school as an Indonesian citizen by the name of Barry Soetoro and his father was listed as Lolo Soetoro, M.A. Indonesia did not allow foreign students to attend their public schools in the late 1960’s or 1970’s, and any time a child was registered for a public school, the child’s name and citizenship status were verified through the Indonesian Government. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia (Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945), Chapter 13, Law No. 62 of 1958 (all citizens of Indonesia have a right to education). The Indonesian school record, indicates that Soetoro/Obama’s name is "Barry Soetoro;" his nationality is "Indonesia" and his father "Lolo Soetoro, M.A. There was no way for Soetoro/Obama to have attended school in Jakarta, Indonesia legally unless he was an Indonesian citizen, as Indonesia was under tight rule and was a Police State. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia (Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945), Law No. 62 of 1958. These facts indicate that young Barry was/is an Indonesian citizen, and therefore he is not eligible to be President of the United States.
Under Indonesian law, when a male acknowledges a child as his son, it deems the son, in this case Soetoro/Obama, an Indonesian State citizen. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 62 of 1958 concerning Immigration Affairs and Indonesian Civil Code (Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Perdata) (KUHPer) (Burgerlijk Wetboek voor Indonesie).
Furthermore, under the Indonesian adoption law, once an Indonesian citizen adopts a child, the adoption severs the child’s relationship to the birth parents, and the adopted child is given the same status as a natural child and the child takes the name of his step-father, in this case, Soetoro. See Indonesian Constitution, Article 2.
The Indonesian citizenship law was designed to prevent apatride (stateless) or bipatride (dual) citizenship. Indonesian regulations recognized neither apatride nor bipatride (stateless or dual) citizenship.
Since Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship; neither did the United States (since the United States only permitted dual citizenship when 'both' countries agree); and since young Barry was a "natural" citizen of Indonesia, the United States would not step in or interfere with the laws of Indonesia. Hague Convention of 1930.
As a result of Soetoro/Obama’s Indonesian "natural" citizenship status, Soetoro/Obama could never regain U.S. "natural born" status, if he in fact he ever held such, which we doubt.
Soetoro/Obama could have only become "naturalized" if the proper paperwork were filed with the U.S. State Department, after going through U.S. Immigration upon his return to the United States; in which case, Soetoro/Obama would have received a Certification of Citizenship indicating "naturalized."
In 2007, classmate Rony Amiris described young Barry as enjoying football and playing marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam."
"We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong he looked funny," said Rony.
Amiris now the manager of the Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims"
Rony extrapolates further, that Obama at one point had to change his religion if he ever intended later to run for the office of President of the United States because America would never elect a Muslim to the be President of the United States.
Also in 2007, Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a 'sarong', at that time."
"He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion."
Obama visited Australia as a boy according to a report by The Australian News. Brad Norington writes, "Obama visited Australia as a boy when he passed through Sydney from Indonesia, where he lived with his mother for four years, during trips to visit his grandparents in Hawaii."
"He is said to have enjoyed his stops in Sydney, especially the beaches."
We know Barry wasn't on his mother's passport, so this tells us that Barack Obama had a passport of his own. The question is, was it an American passport or an Indonesian passport?
It is important to discover whether or not based upon Stanley Ann's’ August 13, 1968 Passport Renewal Application to DoS shown as page 3 and page 4 of Stanley Ann excluded Saebarkah Soetoro (BHO)from her Passport of July 19, 1965; and therefore, left no way for Barry who is presumed to also have the right to an Indonesian Passport under Lolo Soetoro to reenter the USA with Stanley Ann except by use of the expired July 19, 1965 passport.
Hawaii -- 1969 -- Barry's In Hawaii
In December, 2009, the Honolulu Star Bulletin published an article (since scrubbed) revealing that Obama spent at least part of third grade at Noelani Elementary School in Hawaii, and not solely in Jakarta, Indonesia, as has been widely reported.
The article contained a photograph with the inscription, "Barry, 3rd Grade, 1969. The picture was sent to Barack Obama by his friend and schoolmate, Scott Inoue.
Inoue said that he received the photo back from Barack Obama in November 2009. Barack Obama had signed the note in the upper right corner.
This was the first account of Obama being in the 3rd grade -- and in Hawaii?
He was supposed to be in Indonesia -- the report contradicts Obama's own autobiography, as well as multiple biographies, that say he attended grades 1 through 5 in Jakarta, Indonesia .
In the "thank you" note -- there is no personal comment or allusion to the 3rd grade photo, so I don't read that response from "Sincerely, Barack Obama" as an acknowledgement, by Obama, that he attended 3rd grade at Noelani in 1969 -- it's like all the other questions -- ignored!
It's safe to assume that these Noelani school records are also among the missing.
Obama's half-sister, Maya Kassandra Soetoro, was born on August 15, 1970, in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Anna registered her birth as "born in Honolulu" shortly after her birth, as well. Maya would have a State of Hawaii Certification of Live Birth (COLB), just like the one Obama posted on the Internet.
It is she who places Obama in Jakarta from 1967 through 1971, and it was Maya, who has said that Obama was legally adopted by her father, Lolo Soetoro. Maya also said, "There was always a joke between my mom and Barack that he would be the first black president."
Maya would also attend the private Punahou School.
Sometime in the third grade, Barry's family moved to a different part of the city, and Barry transferred to Elementary School Menteng 1, possibly the most famous primary school in Indonesia. Founded as a Dutch colonial school in 1934, it has long drawn the children of the country’s ruling class because of its location in Menteng, traditionally the wealthiest residential neighborhood in Jakarta.
Nowadays, though many wealthy Indonesians send their children to international schools, but the Menteng public school still draws the children of the elite, so much so that the principal, Hasimah, said she could "count on one hand" the students, out of a total of 400, who are not driven to school every day by their parents or drivers.
His third grade teacher, Fermina Katarina Sinaga, now 67, asked her class to write an essay titled "My dream: What I want to be in the future." Obama wrote "I want to be a President," she said.
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being registered as a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school. He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.
In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."
"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies."
According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area, the Cianjur Regency.
"I remembered that he had studied 'mengaji' (recitation of the Quran)" Tine said.
Our guy in Jakarta writes: "The actual usage of the word 'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, 'mengaji classes' are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes."
"The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just when Obama is going to come out of the closet." As Plato said, the images and stories we feed our children affect them for life.
"As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they raised their son as such."
Obama's half-sister, Maya, recalled that the family attended the mosque "for big communal events," and "Obama occasionally followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers."
On January 24, 2007, the Obama campaign released the following statement, "To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago.
In the fall of 1971, the Dunham's had somehow organized a scholarship to the prestigious Punahou School for young Barry "Saebarkah" Soetoro.
The problem? The scholarship was for an American -- and it began in three months.
Hawaii -- 1971 -- The Drop Off
So, in October, 1971, Stanley Ann hurriedly took Barry back to Hawaii to live with her parents, who had moved into a modest two-bedroom Honolulu apartment, at 1617 S. Beretania St., in order to save money for Obama’s expenses while attending Punahou. Madelyn would live at that address until her death on November 2nd, 2008.
It appears from the cross comparison on both the Customs and DOS FOIA released documents that on October 20, 1971 Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro and Barry "Saebarkah" Soetoro together boarded Pan Am Airlines Flight 812 unaccompanied by Lolo M. Soetoro in Djakarta Indonesia and arrived in Honolulu Hawaii on October 21, 1971 and sought entry into the USA on an expired Passport that was issued on July 19, 1965.
Hawaii -- 1971 -- The Plan
So the Dunhams and Stanley Ann conceived of a plan to provide provenance for Barry. Have the Kenyan, Barack Obama, who is broke, "adopt" Barry Soetoro for a sum of money -- and there was no reason for Lolo to know any of it. There were advantages to having roots in two places.
Beginning in the late sixties, as the Kenyatta regime became the subject of increasing controversy, Obama Sr. found many of his colleagues distancing themselves from him. He, in turn, took his anger out on his wife, Ruth, according to several of his friends, and his marriage began to deteriorate.
In July, 1969, Tom Mboya, Senior's political mentor was shot twice and died in a pool of blood. Senior testified at the trial, an act which probably enraged those responsible for Mboya’s assassination. Obama, according to one friend, was convinced he had been targeted for murder after his testimony.
"He said he had been hit by a car not long ago and left for dead," said Pake Zane, 66, who attended the University of Hawaii with Obama and had not publicly discussed their 1974 conversation until now. "He did not say specifically who had done it, but he said it was the same people who killed Mboya."
"Kenya changed a great deal between 1963 and 1970," said David William Cohen, former director of the International Institute at the University of Michigan and a professor of African history. "Anyone brought into the government with idealism in those early years either exploited the situation, or was completely frustrated.
Obama Sr. did just what other frustrated intellectuals did at the time, which was to stay in the bars until their minds go to rot."
The Kenyan only saw Barack Obama once in his life, during this trip, and this is one of the two photos of Barry and Senior.
It was taken at the airport. The decorations clearly identify the visit as occurring during the Christmas season -- December 1971. Senior, who was unemployed, arrived some time in December 1971 and left some time in January 1972. He described the purpose of the trip as "family business."
So, out of the blue, Barry's long-lost "father" stepped briefly into his life, and just as quickly disappeared. Obama and Senior would never see each other again.
It was not an easy month, and what stuck in the boy's memory was the basketball that Senior gave him as a present at the airport.
Now, here's the mystery.
Why would Senior fly halfway across the world to make his only visit to his son at this moment in time? Remember, this was in the era before the deregulation of the airlines.
Round-trip airplane tickets from Kenya to Hawaii must have cost a small fortune even by American standards -- much less third-world Kenyan standards.
The Dunhams surely paid for the airline tickets. We know they paid for an apartment in their building for the month that Senior was in town, and were undoubtedly providing him with some walking-around money.
The sad truth is Senior spent most of his time partying with with his old snack bar buddies from the University of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie and Pake Zane.
Senior had no money. He had already fallen into disfavor with the ruling Kenyan government. His mentor and protector, Tom Mboya, was assassinated in 1969.
Senior was present at the assassination and testified at the subsequent trial, essentially ending his political career, and causing a hit and run attempt on his life. He was spending most of his time drinking scotch and crashing his Mercedes-Benz.
It is clear that the Dunhams underwrote Senior's visit, but why?
It would seem reasonable to conclude that Senior's pilgrimage had something to do with Barry and Punahou, but what?
What happened in these four weeks? What was so important that caused Senior to travel 20,000-plus miles? What kind of deal was made? What papers did he have to sign? Was there a payoff?
The Dunhams were getting ready to put Barry Soetoro into Punahou.
Whatever Senior was doing in Hawaii was connected to that -- the speculation is that it was to establish or re-establish paternity to cover up the Indonesian adoption -- and as soon as the paperwork was completed and he got his payoff he returned to Kenya and never thought about the bunch of them for the rest of his miserable life.
As an aside, it's pretty clear that the Dunhams were going all the way for little Barry, and it's equally clear that Senior couldn't give a rat's ass.
Strunk alleges from his analysis of Stanley Ann's passport files that in 1971, Barry "Saebarkah" Soetoro, lately arrived in the USA, was taken to the Indonesian Embassy in Hawaii to obtain or renew the Indonesian passport which he later used as part of his college funding program and that in 1981 through 1984 was used to enter Indonesia, Pakistan and Afghanistan before attending Columbia University .
We (Strunk, at al) are informed, believe and thereon allege young Barry was never naturalized in the United States after his return, was ten (10) years old when he returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.
Young Barry’s mother returned with him, but it appears that she did not reaffirm Barry's citizenship in the United States. If citizenship for young Barry had been applied for in 1971, he would have a Certification of Citizenship.
The speculation that Senior's Christmas visit was related to providing provenance for Barry Soetoro in return for a financial payoff, also provides an answer to one of the many "anomalies" on the COLB.
It has to be considered in the context of time and place, ie, the normal social traditions of Madelyn and Stanley Dunham's era -- that slip right on by the notice of most people today.
The COLB, however, designates him as Barack Hussein Obama II.
A boy given the same name as his father is designated "junior." A boy given the same name as someone OTHER than his father is designated "II." "Junior" tells the world, "This is my son."
A boy given the same name as an uncle is "II", and says to the world, this boy is named for someone we admire. The common explanation would be that the "junior" is named AFTER the father. "II" is named "FOR" someone else.
The designation of Barry as "II" on the COLB is a flat-out statement that Obama of Kenya is not Barry’s father. That he entered into a business arrangement as a cash-on-the-line favor to the Dunhams.
Lolo Soetoro's adoption of Barry made him Barry's "father," regardless of who sired him.
All previous records were sealed. Effectively, the original father no longer existed and the original records no longer existed. The sire, whoever that may be, gave him up.
So the Dunham's import Abercrombie's buddy, the Kenyan, the only black guy they know other than Frank Marshall Davis.
The deal would have to involve legal consent, meaning an appearance in court, and signatures. This is the only reason Senior would have been in Hawaii visiting his former "family" for a month to six weeks.
We know Lolo never knew, because of the divorce in August, 1980, he acknowledges that he is the father of one child above the age of 18 and "still dependent on the parties for education."
On the child care section of the Dunham-Soetoro divorce, under living arrangements, the documents states, "oldest child in university and mother resides with youngest child in 4 bedroom home provided by mother's employer (USAID); household includes 2 full-time live-in domestics."
Lolo still thought Barack Obama was Barry "Soebarkah" Soetoro, his son, in 1980, and he made that acknowledgement in his divorce.
Stanley Ann returned to Indonesia in January, 1972. Except for occasional visits to Hawaii, Dunham, who traveled throughout Southeast Asia on business, would remain based in Jakarta for the remainder of her life -- estranged from her son.
The Dunhams enrolled "Barry Obama" in the prestigious Punahou School, starting in the fifth grade. He attended Punahou on a scholarship, through the generosity of many unnamed donors, and the influence of Stanley Armour's boss, who was a Punahou alum. Obama walked the five blocks from his grandmother's apartment on Beretania to the school.
With more than 3,000 students, Punahou Academy is the largest private school in the country, and it sits on a lush, sprawling campus in Honolulu. The school is elite and wealthy.
While a student, Barry Obama carved his name in the pavement outside the cafeteria of Punahou School.
Kinda interesting, eh? King Obama! A lifelong narcissist.
Grandpa Stanley was the driving force behind Barry being accepted at Punahou and he took Barry to Punahou for the entrance exams in 1971. He also accompanied Barry to Punahou on his first day of classes in 1972.
Barry made friends quickly and told his classmates that his father was an African prince, the leader of a proud and successful people .
Barry Obama 1977 Punahou High School Sophomore Yearbook ...
Obama's classmate and friend, Keith "Ray" Kakugawa, said, "Barry's biggest struggles then were missing his parents.
His biggest struggles were his feelings of abandonment.
Obama would write, "I didn't feel her absence as a deprivation, but when I think about the fact that I was separated from her, I suspect it had more of an impact than I know."
While at Punahou School, Obama turns into a disenchanted teenage rebel, using cocaine and marijuana. Obama admits in "Dreams" that during high school he frequently smoked marijuana, drank alcohol, even used cocaine occasionally.
In his book, Obama recalls that he had "been headed" to the status of "junkie" or "pothead", which he describes as "the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man".
He recalls smoking "reefer" in the backs of his friends' vans, dorm rooms and "on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school."
Bryon Leong, a former classmate, remembers, "He was known as a partier, as a guy looking for a good time, but not much more," Mr. Leong said. "There was pot in Hawaii in the 1970s, but it wasn't a big deal." He was known as the Popolo kid (one of two) and, along with his buddy Keith Kakugawa, as the campus drug dealers.
If young Barry returned in 1971 to Hawaii without going through U.S. Immigration, today he would be an "illegal alien" -- and obviously not able to serve as president, but also his term as a United States Senator from Illinois for nearly four (4) years was illegal.
We further believe Soetoro might have reentered the United States at age ten (10) by showing a copy of his Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth, which he received when his birth was registered in Hawaii.
In addition, we have been unable to locate any legal documents wherein Soetoro’s name was legally changed from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama. Soetoro/Obama’s silence on these issues is deafening.
Accuracy in Media has an in-depth profile of a leftist who influenced Obama during his high school years. In an article entitled, "Obama's Communist Mentor," Cliff Kincaid identifies a member of the Communist Party USA, who has been influential in Obama's life and education, Frank Marshall Davis, who was a communist -- and born in Kansas.
Barry was introduced to Frank Marshall Davis by his grandfather, Stanley, just after he took the Punahou entrance exams. Davis and Stanley Armour Dunham were drinkin' buddies.
Davis moved to Honolulu from Chicago in 1948 with his second wife Helen Canfield, a white socialite, at the suggestion of his friend the actor Paul Robeson, who advised them that there would be more tolerance of a mixed race couple in Hawaii than on the American mainland. Robeson, of course, was the well-known black actor and singer who served as a member of the CPUSA and apologist for the old Soviet Union. Davis had known Robeson from his time in Chicago.
The 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.
Davis, frequently accompanied by young Barack Obama and his grandfather Stanley, sold marijuana and cocaine from a "Chicago style" hot dog cart Davis operated near his home on Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki in the early 1970s.
A credible source, a well-known resident of Honolulu, disclosed that Davis was the source of drugs sold and consumed by Obama.
..."Obama was a young kid, about 14 or 15 years old," the source said. "I was told his name was Barry, and there was no doubt Barry knew Davis was selling marijuana and cocaine as well as hot dogs from the stand."
Obama quoted him as saying shortly before going to college: "Leaving your race at the door. Leaving your people behind. Understand something, boy. You’re not going to college to get educated. You’re going there to get trained."
He added, "they’ll yank on your chain and let you know that you may be a well-trained, well-paid nigger, but you’re a nigger just the same."
Is it possible that Obama did not know what Davis was? Hardly, in his book Obama refers to Davis as a contemporary of the communists Richard Wright and Langston Hughes.
This is the key question: What did Obama know and when did he know it?
Which of course raises the disturbing questions that must be asked:
Did Davis recruit Obama?
It appears from the cross comparison on both the Customs and DOS FOIA released documents that on October 20, 1971 Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro and Barry "Saebarkah" Soetoro together boarded Pan Am Airlines Flight 812 unaccompanied by Lolo M. Soetoro in Djakarta Indonesia and arrived in Honolulu Hawaii on October 21, 1971, and sought entry into the USA on an expired Passport that was issued on July 19, 1965.
Items on this page are archived in chronological order.
During the preparation of this page, I discovered that all of the newspaper links from the Hawaiian and Chicago newspapers that I had embedded during 2007 and 2008, had been broken. Obama's sycophants in the ObamaMedia has scrubbed the original source references.
Seattle -- 1956 To 1960 --
Known as Stanley Ann, Obama's mother, was a strong-willed, unconventional member of the Mercer Island High School graduating class of 1960. She spent 8th grade through high school there and graduated with a 3.35 grade-point average. Here is her application for a Social Security card, submitted when she was 16. Stanley Ann Dunham was issued Social Security number 535-40-8522.
Curious and precocious, Stanley Ann Dunham was greatly influenced by left-wing and communist teachers in the Mercer Island High School, who had the students read the philosophers Sartre and Kierkegaard, "The Communist Manifesto" and question the existence of God. Stanley Ann touted herself as an atheist.
Mercer Island High was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers.
John Stenhouse, board member, testified before the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and the school had a number of Marxists on its staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which included; rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert’s and Wichterman classrooms was called "anarchy ally."
Dunham gravitated toward an intellectual clique. According to former classmate Chip Wall, she caught foreign films at Seattle's only art-house theater, the Ridgemont, and trekked to University District coffee shops like the Encore to talk about jazz, the value of learning from other cultures and the "very dull Eisenhower-ness of our parents."
"We were critiquing America in those days in the same way we are today:
The press is dumbed-down, education is dumbed down, people don't know anything about geography or the rest of the world," said Wall, who later taught at Mercer Island High and is now retired in Seattle.
A high school classmate described Stanley Ann as "a fellow traveler. . . . We were liberals before we knew what liberals were."
The descriptive, "fellow traveler," was first applied to non-communists who were inclined toward the views of the Communist Party by Leon Trotsky in his 1924 book "Literature and Revolution."
Hawaii -- 1960 -- Hawaii
In 1960, Anna's father supposedly found a better opportunity at a furniture store in Hawaii and moved his family to Honolulu. The Dunhams originally lived at 2277 Kamehameha Ave., before moving to 2234 University Ave. Beginning that summer (1960), with the family's move to Hawaii, Stanley Ann entered her "beatnik" period.
Madelyn would later rise to be a vice president in the escrow department of the Bank of Hawaii. She was also known to volunteer at the Oahu Circuit Court Probate Department. In the early 70s, Stanley would become an insurance salesman.
When Ann Dunham arrived in Hawaii, she was a full fledged radical leftist and practitioner of critical theory.
From this letter letter from the Registrar of the University of Hawaii, we can conclude that Stanley Ann began classes at the University of Hawaii at Manoa on September 26, 1960, the beginning of the fall semester.
That's all we KNOW about Stanley Ann Dunham for the next ten months, a period I refer to as the "wonder years," because, with the millions of words written about this period -- and these people -- I wonder what really happened -- nobody really KNOWS.
Hawaii -- 1960 -- Senior
If an intimate relationship with the Marxist, Barack Obama of Kenya, existed, it clearly began in October, 1960 -- within weeks of the beginning of the fall semester.
Based on the Kenyan's documented history at the University of Hawaii and Harvard, Obama bedded everything he could get his hands on, so Stanley Ann, who hadn't had a boyfriend in high school and was seventeen years old would have been easy pickings. The legend is that they met in a Russian-language course -- at a time when the Russian language was inextricably mixed up with communism.
Sumi McCabe, the University of Hawaii's foreign student adviser, raised the first questions about the Kenyan's womanizing. In April 1961, McCabe called immigration officials and expressed her concerns.
In a memo written by Lyle H. Dahling, an administrator in the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s (INS) Honolulu office, McCabe told the INS office that Obama, "has been running around with several girls since he first arrived here and last summer she cautioned him about his playboy ways. [Obama] replied that he would 'try' to stay away from the girls," according to the memo.
If the Kenyan is Obama's father, it's a safe bet that it was the result of a brief fling -- a one night stand -- rather than a romantic relationship, since it is documented that he "has been running around with several girls" in April, 1961.
Hawaii -- 1961 -- Obama's Life Beard
I routinely refer to the socialist, ex congress-critter, and current Governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, as Obama's "life beard," because Abercrombie is the only human being on the planet to put the Kenyan and Stanley Ann Dunham in the same room together.
The first time that there was any real witnesses to a relationship between the two was in 1971, when Senior mysteriously showed up in Hawaii, "to attend to family business."
The Abercrombie brothers, Neil and then Hal, had escaped the darkness of Buffalo, NY, to attend graduate school in Honolulu. Along with their friends Peter Gilpin, Chet Gorman, and Pake Zane, they hung out at the "snack bar" in an old Army-barracks-style building near their business classes drinking beer and pontificating. They fancied themselves as intellectuals, experimenters, outsiders, somewhere between beatniks and hippies.
It was there, that they met Barack Hussein Obama Sr. The group was immediately taken by the one and only African student in their midst. "He was very black, probably the blackest person I've ever met," recalled Zane, a Chinese-Hawaiian, who now runs an antiques shop a few miles from the university.
Members of the snack bar crowd don't remember the Obama-Dunham relationship. In this report, Hal Abercrombie said he never saw them together. Pake Zane could not recall Ann from those days but had precise memories of Senior.
However, Abercrombie claims that Anna was part of those regular gatherings and was "the original feminist." He has said he remembered her appearing at some of the weekend gatherings. Obama was such a strong personality, he said, that he could see how the young woman was awed and overwhelmed by him.
"She was a girl, and what I mean by that is she was only 17, just out of high school. And he brought her at different times. She mostly observed because she was a kid. Everybody there was pretty high-powered grad-student types."
Maybe everybody else, including his own brother, was drunk all the time.
Neil Abercrombie has continually provided his imprimatur to the "legend of Barack and Stanley." In July, 2009, Abercrombie attempted to sneak language into an innocuous resolution celebrating Hawaii’s statehood anniversary that affirmed Hawaii was Barack Obama’s birthplace.
Hawaii -- 1961 -- Marriage Of Stanley Ann And The Kenyan
It never happened.
The legend is Stanley Ann and the Kenyan were married on the island of Maui on February 2, 1961.
Obama, himself, tells us that his alleged father and mother’s wedding may not have been properly documented. In the fable, "Dreams...," Obama (with a little help from Bill Ayers) wrote:
"How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore. There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were informed."
"May not have been properly documented."
How quaint! There's a lot of that, "not properly documented," stuff in Obama's life.
Michelle Obama is much more direct in her portrayal of the mythical marriage. She said Barry's own mother was "very young and very single when she had him."
There is no wedding license. There is no state-issued wedding certificate. There is no prima facie evidence of a marriage -- none!
Now the Kenyan may have convinced Stanley Ann that dancing naked and barking at the moon was the traditional Kenyan marriage ceremony, but I doubt even that.
There are three documents in the Kenyan's INS file that inquire about his marital status. He leaves this one (6/10/63), and this one (not dated -- post 8/61) unanswered. On the second document, he claims one child -- Roy (Abongo). On a third document (8/31/61) there's an entry stating he's married to "Ann S. Dunham." It's written in a different pen and handwriting (look at that capital "A" than the rest of the document, and in a text box that has been altered.
Some people point to the William Wood note, as evidence of a marriage, but the facts contained in that note suggest it is another fraudulent document. Stanley Ann wasn't planning to attend the winter session at the University of Washington in August 1961 -- she was already in Seattle, enrolled in the University of Washington and attending classes, as of 8/19/1961 -- two weeks before the note was allegedly written.
I would argue that this note -- the only handwritten note in the Kenyan's INS file -- was inserted into the INS file as part of Team Obama's conspiracy.
It's my belief that the stunned Dunham's shuttled Stanley Ann off to parts unknown as soon as they discovered they were about to be the proud grandparents of a little African.
Remember, this was 1960-1961, even liberals weren't THAT liberal!
Unknown -- 1961 -- Stanley Ann Disappears.
It is easy to demonstrate that Stanley Ann was not in Hawaii during the first part of 1961. She stopped attending classes at the University. According to the records of the University of Hawaii, Stanley Ann dropped out at the end of the fall semester.
We know the Dunhams were still living at 2277 Kamehameha Ave. -- a few blocks from the university. If Stanley Ann was in Hawaii, and living with her parents as the Wood note suggests, it would be reasonable to conclude she would have continued with her studies. She would have completed the spring semester around her sixth month. Even pregnant, she could have easily finished out her freshman year.
So where was she?
The Kenyan had moved from 1482 Alencastre St., and was living in a small, single story wooden home located at 625 11th Ave., located in the St. Louis Heights area. Senior remained at 625 11th Avenue until he left Hawaii on June 22,1962 -- immediately after his after graduation.
Based on Sumi McCabe's complaints to the INS, it is reasonable to conclude that the Kenyan was still tomcating around and there is absolutely no evidence that Stanley Ann ever shared those quarters.
And according to the famous "birth announcements," Stanley Ann and the Kenyan were living as a couple at the upscale 6085 Kalaniana'ole Highway, in a small bungalow behind the main house.
The problem is, Orland Scott Lefforge owned and occupied the house at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway. The "Obamas" didn't live there. Mrs. Lefforge just happened to die 10 days prior to the appearance of the birth announcement that listed her address, so we can’t ask her, but we do know that the next door neighbor told investigators that, "his mama, and his papa never lived there."
Beatrice Arakaki affirmed she was a neighbor of the address listed. She has lived at her current residence of 6075 Kalanianaole Highway from before 1961 to the present. Mrs. Arakaki told investigators that "his 'mama,' and his 'papa' never lived there." Arakaki told investigators that she had no recollection of Obama being born or of the family living next door having a black child born to a white mother.
Not a shred of evidence links the Dunhams or Obamas to Kalanianaole Highway. Kalanianaole only surfaced in connection with the Obamas in July 2008 when the "birth announcements" were revealed.
I don’t think you'll be seeing a commemorative plaque on the old homestead anytime soon.
We also know Stanley Ann was in Seattle when those birth announcements were published.
Barack Obama continues to promote the myth that his alleged father left Stanley Ann and baby Barry when he was two years old -- that story is just nonsense!
On September 11, 2009, in a speech to America's schoolchildren, Obama repeated one of his most flagrant lies from "Dreams...," saying, "My father left my family when I was 2 years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had."
If we knew where Stanley Ann was between January 1961 and August 1961, the mystery of Barack Obama would be solved.
It is entirely possible Obama doesn't know.
But as soon as the Dunhams were sure the Kenyan had left the Hawaiian Islands, the Dunhams brought their daughter home.
Seattle -- 1961 -- It's A Boy!
When it comes to the circumstances of Barack Obama's birth, the only thing that we can be absolutely sure of is that Stanley Ann gave birth to a boy -- most likely on August 4, 1961 -- everything else is open to speculation.
The two biggest questions are: who was the father and where was the birthplace?
It is likely that the Kenyan, Barack Obama, is the father. After all he was Kenya's Johnny Appleseed, spreading his seed all over the Island. And as a Marxist, black-African, he was right up Stanley Ann's alley and the perfect substitute for Harry Belafonte, who Stanley Ann thought was the best-looking man on the planet.
However, there are those who argue and some evidence to suggest that Frank Marshall Davis or Malcolm X is Obama's father.
But the fact is, without an independently administered DNA test, we'll never know for sure who fathered Bar.
And out of the blue, Stanley Ann Dunham, at age 18, shows up at Mercer Island (outside of Seattle) with a newborn infant for a "brief" visit.
Was Stanley Ann traveling alone with "Barry" (the name Blake used), or was she accompanied by her mother, or others? The Kenyan was still in Hawaii. These are important facts. And the child's name was "Barry" not "Barack."
Since Kapiolani, nor any other Hawaiian hospital, will confirm Obama was born in its facility or that Stanley Ann Dunham was ever a patient, it is probable, that if Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, he was born at home.
There are a ton of references to Obama having been born in Kenya. If Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Kenya, Stanley Ann must have gone right from the hospital to the airport -- but it's possible?
It is also possible that Dunham actually delivered Barry someplace close to Mercer Island -- like Vancouver, Canada.
The most compelling case for a Canadian birth is the age of the infant when Stanley Ann appeared at the home of her high school friend, Susan Blake shortly after Barry's birth -- unable to change little Barry's diaper -- and remember, in 1961 women usually stayed in the hospital for 5 to 7 days after giving birth.
Blake states, in this interview, that while Stanley was there she stayed with a friend of Stanley Ann's mother, even borrowed a car to come see Susan.
Was Stanley Ann's mother's friend really Stanley Ann's Aunt Eleanor?
The Dunhams want to get their daughter, Stanley Ann, away from the Kenyan, so they shipped the pregnant Stanley Ann off to Aunt Eleanor in Blaine Washington -- a little more than 100 miles from Seattle. When she goes into labor, they have to run to White Rock to the nearest maternity hospital.
Madelyn Dunham finds out that the child is born in Canada, and immediately files a "born at Home" birth application to secure American Citizenship for her grandson. Might not be true, but it sounds more believable than the stuff Obama has proffered in his book.
Regardless of where Stanley Ann and the infant Barry were on August 4, 1961, they were in Seattle in time for Stanley Ann to register for classes at the University of Washington using a Capitol Hill apartment address, and to begin classes on August 19th -- 15 days after Barack's birth (Reference A, Reference .
Dunham and her new son lived in Apartment 2 of the Villa Ria Apartments at 516 13th Avenue E on Capitol Hill. It was a three-story house that had been converted into three inexpensive apartments. Mrs. Toutonghi, the landlord, and her family lived in the basement apartment, and Ann Dunham -- Obama's mother -- lived in the apartment directly upstairs.
There was another sighting by Barbara Cannon Rusk: "I had moved to Utah for a while after high school, and I came back to Seattle in the summer of 1962. I remember visiting the World's Fair, and then stopping by Stanley Ann's apartment on Capitol Hill. It was a small apartment, upstairs. It was after June, and could have been as late as September, 1962. I visited her for half a day or so.
Between August, 1961 and March 1962, Stanley Ann enrolled in a total of four extension courses at the University of Washington (records), earning a total of 20 credits for her work in those courses, no small feat, considering that graduation required 180 credits, and the typical full time student earned 45 credits a year.
There is no information about the whereabouts of Stanley Ann and Barry from the March 1992 until she returns to Hawaii and enrolls in the spring semester of the University of Hawaii.
Hawaii -- 1963 To 1967-- University Of Hawaii
Here's some information from Atlas Shrugs about Stanley Ann and the mid-1960s.
It appears that Stanley Ann settles down a little after returning to Hawaii and the university.
When Obama was almost 2, Ann returned to college at the University of Hawaii for the spring semester. Money was tight. She collected food stamps and relied on her parents to help take care of young Barack. She would get her bachelor's degree four years later.
I believe the apartment, located at 110 1427 Alexander St., was rented for Stanley Ann and Barack Jr. by her parents upon her return from WA state. She remained there until just before she registered for spring classes at UH at Manoa in 1963.
She filed for divorce from Senior, and would ultimately received a degree in mathematics.
According to this blog, Atlas reader Rudy emailed both the University of Washington and the University of Hawaii, and they sent him back dates of enrollment. It didn't match the dates Wikipedia had for Stanley Ann Dunham. Bob tried to update Wikipedia and his updates got deleted within minutes.
Here's an email that was returned from the University of Hawaii in September, 2008:
Ms. Stanley Ann Dunham was enrolled at the University of Hawaii for:
Autumn 1961
Winter 1962
Spring 1962
And here's a letter that was sent from the University of Hawaii in November, 2008:
"The University of Hawaii at Manoa is only able to provide the following information for Stanley Ann Dunham:
Dates of attendance:
Bachelors:
Fall 1960 (First day of instruction 9/26/1960)
Spring 1963 -- Summer 1966
Masters:
Fall 1972 -- Fall 1974
Summer 1976
Spring 1978
Ph. D.:
Fall 1984 -- Summer 1992
Degrees awarded:
BA - Mathematics, Summer 1967 (August 6, 1967)
MA - Anthropology, Fall 1983 (December 18, 1983)
PhD - Anthropology, Summer 1992 (August 9, 1992)
Assuming these email responses were true, the University of Hawaii has Stanley Ann starting class in Sept 26, 1960 and dropping out for the spring semester (while pregnant).
She then re-enrolled at the University of Washington in the autumn of 1961, just after Obama was born.
Obama Sr. was still at the University of Hawaii, and graduated in 1962 while Stanley Ann was at University of Washington.
Hawaii -- 1965 -- Stanley Ann Marries Lolo Soetoro
While studying for her bachelor's degree, Stanley Ann met another foreign student at the university and married Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo in March 1965, according to Stanley Ann's passport files.
Little Barry was only 4 years old, not the "7 year old" lie in Obama's mythical "Dreams. .." .
Hawaii -- 1967 -- Barry Enters Noelani Elementary
Obama began his education in Hawaii's public schools. He was enrolled in Ms. Sakai’s kindergarten class at Noelani Elementary School in 1967. He was only there a couple or three months before he was off to Indonesia.
The first little boy in the third row, left is "Barry Obama." Obama’s sister Maya Soetoro-Ng confirms that the boy is Obama.
The two white girls in the same row are probably the Nordyke twins.
Surprise! Hawaii's Department of Education has been unable to find his Kindergarten records.
Hawaii -- 1967 -- Noelani Mystery
Obama's Noelani Elementary School Kindergarten records, oddly missing from the State of Hawaii Department of Education -- just one more coincidence in a series of "coincidences."
Kelli Abe Trifonovitch writes, "...the Department of Education has been unable to find his records."
Although Obama has had a first-class education that spanned 25 years, there is only a single document that has ever been released, the application for entrance to the Franciscus Assisi Primary School (next item) -- and that document was discovered by independent investigators.
This is an important feature because Kindergarten records for original school entry would have contained the following:
1. Obama's REAL Birth Certificate.
2. An application with the following:
• His Legal name.
• Parents or Legal Guardians’ names.
• Date of Birth
• Place of Birth
• Vaccination Records (revealing a timeline to the place and DOB.)
It also is important for two additional reasons:
A. The Department of Education does not "lose" the records of one particular student. (So, who paid whom what sum to make this record disappear?)
B. There would have been NO shameful low-test scores, NO embarrassing Equal Opportunity advancements, and NO trails of fraudulent funding to hide that could possibly "excuse" the quashing of public school Kindergarten entry records.
For the rest of his life he attended very expensive private schools and has had his records legally sealed to deny the public his true life story.
This is different. Hawaii should be able to verify he attended their school since he is featured in class photographs. State and federal tax dollars paid for his initial year of education. Why is there no documentation?
This is the beginning of an intentionally erased life of a fraud and conman and it reeks of complicity by officials within the State of Hawaii’s Dept. of Health and Dept. of Education.
Obama joked during the primary campaign that his opponent (Hillary) was even digging into his Kindergarten records. He knows what they would contain and why they must be kept unavailable.
Hawaii -- 1967 -- Indonesia
While studying for her bachelor's degree, Anna met another foreign student at the university.
According to Stanley Ann's passport file and Lolo's INS file, we know that she met and eventually married Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo in 1965 and in 1967, Lolo, a Muslim, promptly moved his new family to Jakarta, Indonesia, the worlds most populous Muslim country.
Lolo fought having to return to Indonesia.
Lolo Soetoro and Stanley Ann were having difficulties that would only explain the removal of Barry from her passport in 1968 especially since the Indonesian Government in Soetoro’s words, any American, was in jeopardy there in Indonesia due to the anti-American feelings" is shown at page 103 of the U.S. Government memo of January 12, 1966 with pages marked 77 through 80 therein at page 78 regarding Lolo Soetoros request for a INA section 212(e) waiver and two year extension for his stay in the USA with Ann Soetoro, (that according to the US Government document of August 6, 1968 all three returned to Indonesia on July 20, 1966); Soetoro states:
"Most importantly, anti-American feeling has reached a feverish pitch under the direction of the Indonesian communist party, and I have been advised by both family and friends in Indonesia that it would be dangerous to endeavor to return with my wife at the present time.
Of secondary importance is the fact that my wife does not yet speak Indonesian. Not only would she be forced to cut short her college education, but she would be left in a position of isolation in the community."
In 1967, he would return to Indonesia, along with his new family, completed his military commitment and become an oil company executive.
In Obama's account of this move, he states his mother was shocked to discover how her new husband reverted to chauvinist Indonesian ways as soon as he left America and that Indonesia was a nasty right-wing dictatorship (although the latter doesn’t jibe with her spending much of the rest of her life in that country).
In "Dreams," he inadvertently sheds some light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, allegedly an anthropologist, but really a banker, she was Islamophile who hated America and subsequently went native.
Ann filed for divorce in 1980. As with Obama's father, she kept in regular contact with Lolo and did not pursue alimony or child support, according to divorce records.
Indonesia -- 1967 -- Jakarta
Barry Soetoro, his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and his Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, moved into a one-story house in a district called Menteng-Dalam.
At the time, it was a new neighborhood where natives of Jakarta, known as Betawis, lived with an increasing number of newcomers from different corners of Java and Sumatra, the main islands in Indonesia. The area was connected to the electric grid only a couple of years before Obama moved in.
The Soetoro house in Jakarta, and the bedroom that Obama shared with a houseboy.
"It was a very poor area when the family came here," said Coenraad Satjakoesoemah, 79, a retired airline manager and a neighborhood leader. "There were still dirt roads, only a few houses and lots of large trees."
In Satjakoesoemah’s living room, Obama’s mother taught English to the neighborhood women, including his wife, Djumiati.While the residents regarded Obama’s mother as a "free spirit," Barry, who was chubby, was referred to as the "boy who runs like a duck," said Mrs. Satjakoesoemah, 69.
Obama’s family stayed instead in a humble neighborhood called Matraman-Dalam, on a short block of single-story, detached houses, a stone’s throw from a traditional Indonesian neighborhood of narrow, winding streets.
Obama’s family rented the guest house inside a compound belonging to a prominent physician. There, according to the neighborhood’s longtime residents, the young Obama, who had already experienced differences in class and religion in his short stay in Indonesia, was exposed to another aspect of Jakarta’s diversity.
His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball.
Obama was known as the "boy who runs like a duck." With a transvestite nanny and sharing his room with a "houseboy," it's no wonder!
Indonesia -- 1967 -- Lolo Was Liaison To The Suharto Regime
Lolo Soetoro had been an official of the Director General s office in the TNI Topography division of the Indonesian Army. He later becomes an executive with American Mobil Corporation, where he was a key liaison between the oil company and the Suharto regime. Suharto had been installed as the American friendly Indonesian President in 1967.
Obama writes, "Looking back, I'm not sure Lolo ever fully understood what my mother was going through ... why the things he was working so hard to provide for her seemed only to increase the distance between them ... He landed a job in the government relations department of an American oil company. ... Sometimes I would overhear him and my mother arguing in their bedroom, usually about her refusal to attend his company dinner parties, where American businessmen from Texas and Louisiana would slap Lolo's back and boast about the palms they had greased to obtain the new offshore drilling rights, while their wives complained to my mother about the quality of Indonesian help. He would ask her how it would look for him to go alone, and remind her that these were her own people, and my mother's voice would rise to almost a shout."
"They [the Americans] are not my people!"
There was at least the suggestion of violent discord between them. When Anna refused to go with her husband to socialize with American executives in Jakarta when he was working for an Indonesian oil company, and after coming home late from a teaching job servants saw her with a towel covering up blood on her face, although nobody ever confirmed any domestic violence.
Indonesia -- 1967 -- Was Barry Adopted?
Obama arrived in Indonesia at about the age of five according to most accounts, although it was possible he arrived at the age of six, according to a few sources. At some time, Lolo Soetoro adopted Barry, and Barry would have automatically become an Indonesian citizen according to the country’s laws in the 1960’s, which stipulated any child is immediately granted Indonesian citizenship upon completion of the adoption process.
we know that Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. His half-sister Maya stated so publically.
As evidence that an adoption occurred, there are the following artifacts:
1. The registration document from the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School (next item), in Jakarta, Indonesia. Barry Soetoro is registered as a "citizen" of Indonesia.
2. According to Indonesian legal experts, only Indonesian citizens could attend state-operated public schools, and Barry would attend two of them.
3. In the divorce documents (page1 and page2), Lolo Soetoro is described as "father" -- "husband has not contributed to support of wife and children" -- "oldest child in university" -- and this curious note, "both mother and child are U. S. citizens while father an Indonesian citizen."
We know from the Stanley Ann/Lolo 1980 divorce documents that "the parties" were the parents of one child under 18 [Maya] and one child over 18 but still dependent on the parties for his education [Barry]. The divorce was filed/granted in Hawaii. That Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro is not in the realm of speculation. It is fact.
There is accumulating evidence that Anna was something of an expert at taking advantage living abroad, while carefully keeping one foot in the US of A for herself and her children.
"The Indonesian Citizenship Law states that children's citizenship is derived solely from the citizenship of the father. Children of citizen mothers and foreign fathers are considered foreigners and require visas to remain in the country until the age of 18, at which time they may apply for citizenship. They are prohibited from attending public schools and must attend private, international schools, which usually are more expensive."
U. S. State Department -Indonesia -- 1967 -- Plenty Of Clues
Christopher Strunk, who in November 2008 requested copies of Obama’s mother’s passport file from the State Department under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), finally received a response which includes 12 pages of documents.
On document P2, the second page of that document, In her own handwriting, Anna wrote in the block named "Amend to Include (Exclude) Children" the name of her son Barack Hussein Obama, and then right below his Indonesian name, spelled and in parenthesis as (Soebarkah), presumably to allow Obama (Soebarkah) to travel as a minor under her passport.
This entry has 5 diagonal line strike-through lines across the entry. Now, why? Well, why would a name on a passport renewal be struck out?
If one looks at page of the application, there is a clue:
The second block, below the "WARNING" block states:
"I have not (and no other person included or to be included in the passport or documentation has), since acquiring United States citizenship, been naturalized as a citizen of a foreign state; taken an oath or made an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state; entered or served in the armed forces... "
(If any of the above-mentioned acts or conditions have been performed by or apply to the applicant, or to any person included in the passport or documentation, the portion which applies should be struck out, and a supplementary explanatory statement under oath (or affirmation) by the person to whom the portion is applicable should be attached and made a part of this application.)"
What can be extrapolated from this is that Obama was, in fact, adopted by Lolo Soetoro, making Obama a citizen of Indonesia, a fact supported by the the Fransiscus Assisi school registration document that identifies Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen and his religion was identified as Islam.
As time passes, and more and more clues surface, it is becoming apparent that Barack Obama was, indeed, a citizen of Indonesia, by adoption, and probably a holder of an Indonesian passport.
Indonesia -- 1968 -- Assisi Primary
The "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" blog reports that Obama's Indonesian schooling began when he was entered into the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School, in Jakarta, Indonesia, on January 1, 1968 and sat in class 1B. His teacher has been identified as Fermina Katarina Sinaga (translation, next item).
He was registered under the name of Barry Soetoro, serial number 203. The school registration document identifies Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen and his religion was identified as Islam.
This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiscus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro into the Catholic school made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. The document lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen, born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, and shows his Muslim step-father listed the boy's religion as Islam.
The Obama Campaign claims that the "Muslim" entry references the religion of the father, which is absurd. Every other entry on the document relates to Obama. The attributes on the document describe Obama, the child, not Lolo, the stepfather.
Born on August 4, 1961, Obama would have been 7 years and 5 months old. That's late to start school. Obama will always be 2 years older than his classmates.
Obama may have started Kindergarten in Hawaii but was whisked off to Indonesia as a result of his mother's second marriage. There are 5 missing years in Anna's CV between Obama Sr. abandoning the family and her emigration to Indonesia with Lolo.
Indonesia -- 1968 -- Besuki Primary
Obama then entered the Besuki Primary School, a state school. He was enrolled as Indonesian citizen, Barry Soetoro, Muslim. He would attend Besuki for two years.
Iis Darmawan, 63, Obama's teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. "He wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,'" the teacher said. Here are Barry's school records:
Indonesia -- 1968 -- A Hidden Memory
ObamaCrimes.com reports that at the time Barry Soetoro was in Indonesia, all Indonesian students were required to carry government identity cards or Karty Tanda Pendudaks, as well as family card identification called a Kartu Keluarga. The Kartu Keluarga is a family card which bears the legal names and citizenship status of all family members.
Soetoro/Obama was registered in a public school as an Indonesian citizen by the name of Barry Soetoro and his father was listed as Lolo Soetoro, M.A. Indonesia did not allow foreign students to attend their public schools in the late 1960’s or 1970’s, and any time a child was registered for a public school, the child’s name and citizenship status were verified through the Indonesian Government. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia (Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945), Chapter 13, Law No. 62 of 1958 (all citizens of Indonesia have a right to education).
The Indonesian school record, indicates that Soetoro/Obama’s name is "Barry Soetoro;" his nationality is "Indonesia" and his father "Lolo Soetoro, M.A. There was no way for Soetoro/Obama to have attended school in Jakarta, Indonesia legally unless he was an Indonesian citizen, as Indonesia was under tight rule and was a Police State. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia (Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945), Law No. 62 of 1958.
These facts indicate that young Barry was/is an Indonesian citizen, and therefore he is not eligible to be President of the United States.
Under Indonesian law, when a male acknowledges a child as his son, it deems the son, in this case Soetoro/Obama, an Indonesian State citizen. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 62 of 1958 concerning Immigration Affairs and Indonesian Civil Code (Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Perdata) (KUHPer) (Burgerlijk Wetboek voor Indonesie).
Furthermore, under the Indonesian adoption law, once an Indonesian citizen adopts a child, the adoption severs the child’s relationship to the birth parents, and the adopted child is given the same status as a natural child and the child takes the name of his step-father, in this case, Soetoro. See Indonesian Constitution, Article 2.
The Indonesian citizenship law was designed to prevent apatride (stateless) or bipatride (dual) citizenship. Indonesian regulations recognized neither apatride nor bipatride (stateless or dual) citizenship. Since Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship; neither did the United States (since the United States only permitted dual citizenship when 'both' countries agree); and since young Barry was a "natural" citizen of Indonesia, the United States would not step in or interfere with the laws of Indonesia. Hague Convention of 1930.
As a result of Soetoro/Obama’s Indonesian "natural" citizenship status, Soetoro/Obama could never regain U.S. "natural born" status, if he in fact he ever held such, which we doubt. Soetoro/Obama could have only become "naturalized" if the proper paperwork were filed with the U.S. State Department, after going through U.S. Immigration upon his return to the United States; in which case, Soetoro/Obama would have received a Certification of Citizenship indicating "naturalized."
Indonesia -- 1968 -- Mates
In 2007, classmate Rony Amiris described young Barry as enjoying football and playing marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam."
"We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong he looked funny," said Rony.
Amiris now the manager of the Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims"
Rony extrapolates further, that Obama at one point had to change his religion if he ever intended later to run for the office of President of the United States because America would never elect a Muslim to the be President of the United States.
Also in 2007, Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a 'sarong', at that time."
"He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion."
Australia -- 1969 --
Barry Had A Passport And Was Traveling
Obama visited Australia as a boy according to a report by The Australian News. Brad Norington writes, "Obama visited Australia as a boy when he passed through Sydney from Indonesia, where he lived with his mother for four years, during trips to visit his grandparents in Hawaii."
"He is said to have enjoyed his stops in Sydney, especially the beaches."
We know Barry wasn't on his mother's passport, so this tells us that Barack Obama had a passport of his own. The question is, was it an American passport or an Indonesian passport?
It is important to discover whether or not based upon Stanley Ann's’ August 13, 1968 Passport Renewal Application to DoS shown as page 3 and page 4 of Stanley Ann excluded Saebarkah Soetoro (BHO)from her Passport of July 19, 1965; and therefore, left no way for Barry who is presumed to also have the right to an Indonesian Passport under Lolo Soetoro to reenter the USA with Stanley Ann except by use of the expired July 19, 1965 passport.
Hawaii -- 1969 -- Barry's In Hawaii
In December, 2009, the Honolulu Star Bulletin published an article (since scrubbed) revealing that Obama spent at least part of third grade at Noelani Elementary School in Hawaii, and not solely in Jakarta, Indonesia, as has been widely reported.
The article contained a photograph with the inscription, "Barry, 3rd Grade, 1969. The picture was sent to Barack Obama by his friend and schoolmate, Scott Inoue.
Inoue said that he received the photo back from Barack Obama in November 2009. Barack Obama had signed the note in the upper right corner.
Scott and Barry 3rd grade 1969
This was the first account of Obama being in the 3rd grade -- and in Hawaii? He was supposed to be in Indonesia -- the report contradicts Obama's own autobiography, as well as multiple biographies, that say he attended grades 1 through 5 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
In the "thank you" note -- there is no personal comment or allusion to the 3rd grade photo, so I don't read that response from "Sincerely, Barack Obama" as an acknowledgement, by Obama, that he attended 3rd grade at Noelani in 1969 -- it's like all the other questions -- ignored!
It's safe to assume that these Noelani school records are also among the missing.
Obama's half-sister, Maya Kassandra Soetoro, was born on August 15, 1970, in Jakarta, Indonesia. Anna registered her birth as "born in Honolulu" shortly after her birth, as well. Maya would have a State of Hawaii Certification of Live Birth (COLB), just like the one Obama posted on the Internet.
It is she who places Obama in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 1967 through 1971, and it was Maya, who has said that Obama was legally adopted by her father, Lolo Soetoro. Maya also said, "There was always a joke between my mom and Barack that he would be the first black president."
Maya would also attend the private Punahou School.
Indonesia -- 1970 -- The Fourth School
Sometime in the third grade, Barry's family moved to a different part of the city, and Barry transferred to Elementary School Menteng 1, possibly the most famous primary school in Indonesia. Founded as a Dutch colonial school in 1934, it has long drawn the children of the country’s ruling class because of its location in Menteng, traditionally the wealthiest residential neighborhood in Jakarta.
Nowadays, though many wealthy Indonesians send their children to international schools, but the Menteng public school still draws the children of the elite, so much so that the principal, Hasimah, said she could "count on one hand" the students, out of a total of 400, who are not driven to school every day by their parents or drivers.
His third grade teacher, Fermina Katarina Sinaga, now 67, asked her class to write an essay titled "My dream: What I want to be in the future." Obama wrote "I want to be a President," she said.
Indonesia -- 1970 -- Quranic Studies
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being registered as a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school. He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.
In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."
"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies."
According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area, the Cianjur Regency.
"I remembered that he had studied 'mengaji' (recitation of the Quran)" Tine said.
Our guy in Jakarta writes: "The actual usage of the word 'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia.
To put it quite simply, 'mengaji classes' are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes."
"The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just when Obama is going to come out of the closet." As Plato said, the images and stories we feed our children affect them for life.
"As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they raised their son as such."
Obama's half-sister, Maya, recalled that the family attended the mosque "for big communal events," and "Obama occasionally followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers."
On January 24, 2007, the Obama campaign released the following statement, "To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Hawaii -- 1971 -- A Pivotal Moment
In the fall of 1971, the Dunham's had somehow organized a scholarship to the prestigious Punahou School for young Barry "Saebarkah" Soetoro.
The problem? The scholarship was for an American -- and it began in three months.
Hawaii -- 1971 -- The Drop Off
So, in October, 1971, Stanley Ann hurriedly took Barry back to Hawaii to live with her parents, who had moved into a modest two-bedroom Honolulu apartment, at 1617 S. Beretania St., in order to save money for Obama’s expenses while attending Punahou. Madelyn would live at that address until her death on November 2nd, 2008.
It appears from the cross comparison on both the Customs and DOS FOIA released documents that on October 20, 1971 Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro and Barry "Saebarkah" Soetoro together boarded Pan Am Airlines Flight 812 unaccompanied by Lolo M. Soetoro in Djakarta Indonesia and arrived in Honolulu Hawaii on October 21, 1971 and sought entry into the USA on an expired Passport that was issued on July 19, 1965.
Hawaii -- 1971 -- The Plan
So the Dunhams and Stanley Ann conceived of a plan to provide provenance for Barry. Have the Kenyan, Barack Obama, who is broke, "adopt" Barry Soetoro for a sum of money -- and there was no reason for Lolo to know any of it. There were advantages to having roots in two places.
Abercrombie had recently traveled to Kenya, saw the Kenyan, and was in position to broker the deal.
Kenya -- 1971 -- Conditions In Kenya
Beginning in the late sixties, as the Kenyatta regime became the subject of increasing controversy, Obama Sr. found many of his colleagues distancing themselves from him. He, in turn, took his anger out on his wife, Ruth, according to several of his friends, and his marriage began to deteriorate.
In July, 1969, Tom Mboya, Senior's political mentor was shot twice and died in a pool of blood. Senior testified at the trial, an act which probably enraged those responsible for Mboya’s assassination. Obama, according to one friend, was convinced he had been targeted for murder after his testimony.
"He said he had been hit by a car not long ago and left for dead," said Pake Zane, 66, who attended the University of Hawaii with Obama and had not publicly discussed their 1974 conversation until now. "He did not say specifically who had done it, but he said it was the same people who killed Mboya."
"Kenya changed a great deal between 1963 and 1970," said David William Cohen, former director of the International Institute at the University of Michigan and a professor of African history. "Anyone brought into the government with idealism in those early years either exploited the situation, or was completely frustrated. Obama Sr. did just what other frustrated intellectuals did at the time, which was to stay in the bars until their minds go to rot."
Hawaii -- 1971 -- "Family Business"
The Kenyan only saw Barack Obama once in his life, during this trip, and this is one of the two photos of Barry and Senior. It was taken at the airport. The decorations clearly identify the visit as occurring during the Christmas season -- December 1971. Senior, who was unemployed, arrived some time in December 1971 and left some time in January 1972. He described the purpose of the trip as "family business."
At the first sight of Senior, Barry thought he seemed far skinnier than he had imagined, and more fragile, with his spectacles and blue blazer and ascot and yellowish eyes. Senior was recuperating from one of his many car accidents. He had injured his leg requiring him to use a cane.
So, out of the blue, Barry's long-lost "father" stepped briefly into his life, and just as quickly disappeared. Obama and Senior would never see each other again. It was not an easy month, and what stuck in the boy's memory was the basketball that Senior gave him as a present at the airport.
Now, here's the mystery. Why would Senior fly halfway across the world to make his only visit to his son at this moment in time?
Remember, this was in the era before the deregulation of the airlines. Round-trip airplane tickets from Kenya to Hawaii must have cost a small fortune even by American standards -- much less third-world Kenyan standards.
The Dunhams surely paid for the airline tickets. We know they paid for an apartment in their building for the month that Senior was in town, and were undoubtedly providing him with some walking-around money. The sad truth is Senior spent most of his time partying with with his old snack bar buddies from the University of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie and Pake Zane.
Senior had no money. He had already fallen into disfavor with the ruling Kenyan government. His mentor and protector, Tom Mboya, was assassinated in 1969. Senior was present at the assassination and testified at the subsequent trial, essentially ending his political career, and causing a hit and run attempt on his life. He was spending most of his time drinking scotch and crashing his Mercedes-Benz.
It is clear that the Dunhams underwrote Senior's visit, but why? It would seem reasonable to conclude that Senior's pilgrimage had something to do with Barry and Punahou, but what?
What happened in these four weeks? What was so important that caused Senior to travel 20,000-plus miles? What kind of deal was made? What papers did he have to sign? Was there a payoff?
The Dunhams were getting ready to put Barry Soetoro into Punahou. Whatever Senior was doing in Hawaii was connected to that -- the speculation is that it was to establish or re-establish paternity to cover up the Indonesian adoption -- and as soon as the paperwork was completed and he got his payoff he returned to Kenya and never thought about the bunch of them for the rest of his miserable life.
As an aside, it's pretty clear that the Dunhams were going all the way for little Barry, and it's equally clear that Senior couldn't give a rat's ass.
Hawaii -- 1971 -- Repatriation Blues
Strunk alleges from his analysis of Stanley Ann's passport files that in 1971, Barry "Saebarkah" Soetoro, lately arrived in the USA, was taken to the Indonesian Embassy in Hawaii to obtain or renew the Indonesian passport which he later used as part of his college funding program and that in 1981 through 1984 was used to enter Indonesia, Pakistan and Afghanistan before attending Columbia University.
We (Strunk, at al) are informed, believe and thereon allege young Barry was never naturalized in the United States after his return, was ten (10) years old when he returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.
Young Barry’s mother returned with him, but it appears that she did not reaffirm Barry's citizenship in the United States. If citizenship for young Barry had been applied for in 1971, he would have a Certification of Citizenship.
If young Barry returned in 1971 to Hawaii without going through U.S. Immigration, today he would be an "illegal alien" -- and obviously not able to serve as president, but also his term as a United States Senator from Illinois for nearly four (4) years was illegal.
We further believe Soetoro might have reentered the United States at age ten (10) by showing a copy of his Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth, which he received when his birth was registered in Hawaii.
In addition, we have been unable to locate any legal documents wherein Soetoro’s name was legally changed from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama. Soetoro/Obama’s silence on these issues is deafening.
Hawaii -- 1971 -- Correcting The Adoption
The speculation that Senior's Christmas visit was related to providing provenance for Barry Soetoro in return for a financial payoff, also provides an answer to one of the many "anomalies" on the COLB.
It has to be considered in the context of time and place, ie, the normal social traditions of Madelyn and Stanley Dunham's era -- that slip right on by the notice of most people today.
The COLB, however, designates him as Barack Hussein Obama II.
A boy given the same name as his father is designated "junior."
A boy given the same name as someone OTHER than his father is designated "II."
"Junior" tells the world, "This is my son." A boy given the same name as an uncle is "II", and says to the world, this boy is named for someone we admire. The common explanation would be that the "junior" is named AFTER the father. "II" is named "FOR" someone else.
The designation of Barry as "II" on the COLB is a flat-out statement that Obama of Kenya is not Barry’s father. That he entered into a business arrangement as a cash-on-the-line favor to the Dunhams.
Lolo Soetoro's adoption of Barry made him Barry's "father," regardless of who sired him. All previous records were sealed. Effectively, the original father no longer existed and the original records no longer existed. The sire, whoever that may be, gave him up.
So the Dunham's import Abercrombie's buddy, the Kenyan, the only black guy they know other than Frank Marshall Davis. The deal would have to involve legal consent, meaning an appearance in court, and signatures. This is the only reason Senior would have been in Hawaii visiting his former "family" for a month to six weeks.
We know Lolo never knew, because of the divorce in August, 1980, he acknowledges that he is the father of one child above the age of 18 and "still dependent on the parties for education."
On the child care section of the Dunham-Soetoro divorce, under living arrangements, the documents states, "oldest child in university and mother resides with youngest child in 4 bedroom home provided by mother's employer (USAID); household includes 2 full-time live-in domestics."
Lolo still thought Barack Obama was Barry "Soebarkah" Soetoro, his son, in 1980, and he made that acknowledgement in his divorce.
Stanley Ann returned to Indonesia in January, 1972. Except for occasional visits to Hawaii, Dunham, who traveled throughout Southeast Asia on business, would remain based in Jakarta for the remainder of her life -- estranged from her son.
Hawaii -- 1972 -- Barry Soetoro Becomes Barry Obama
The Dunhams enrolled "Barry Obama" in the prestigious Punahou School, starting in the fifth grade. He attended Punahou on a scholarship, through the generosity of many unnamed donors, and the influence of Stanley Armour's boss, who was a Punahou alum. Obama walked the five blocks from his grandmother's apartment on Beretania to the school.
With more than 3,000 students, Punahou Academy is the largest private school in the country, and it sits on a lush, sprawling campus in Honolulu. The school is elite and wealthy.
While a student, Barry Obama carved his name in the pavement outside the cafeteria of Punahou School.
Kinda interesting, eh? King Obama! A lifelong narcissist.
Grandpa Stanley was the driving force behind Barry being accepted at Punahou and he took Barry to Punahou for the entrance exams in 1971. He also accompanied Barry to Punahou on his first day of classes in 1972. Barry made friends quickly and told his classmates that his father was an African prince, the leader of a proud and successful people.
Obama's classmate and friend, Keith "Ray" Kakugawa, said, "Barry's biggest struggles then were missing his parents. His biggest struggles were his feelings of abandonment. Obama would write, "I didn't feel [her absence] as a deprivation, but when I think about the fact that I was separated from her, I suspect it had more of an impact than I know."
While at Punahou School, Obama turns into a disenchanted teenage rebel, using cocaine and marijuana. Obama admits in "Dreams" that during high school he frequently smoked marijuana, drank alcohol, even used cocaine occasionally.
In his book, Obama recalls that he had "been headed" to the status of "junkie" or "pothead", which he describes as "the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man". He recalls smoking "reefer" in the backs of his friends' vans, dorm rooms and "on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school."
Bryon Leong, a former classmate, remembers, "He was known as a partier, as a guy looking for a good time, but not much more," Mr. Leong said. "There was pot in Hawaii in the 1970s, but it wasn't a big deal." He was known as the Popolo kid (one of two) and, along with his buddy Keith Kakugawa, as the campus drug dealers.
Hawaii -- 1972 -- Barry's Bolshevik
Accuracy in Media has an in-depth profile of a leftist who influenced Obama during his high school years. In an article entitled, "Obama's Communist Mentor," Cliff Kincaid identifies a member of the Communist Party USA, who has been influential in Obama's life and education, Frank Marshall Davis, who was a communist -- and born in Kansas.
Barry was introduced to Frank Marshall Davis by his grandfather, Stanley, just after he took the Punahou entrance exams. Davis and Stanley Armour Dunham were drinkin' buddies.
Davis moved to Honolulu from Chicago in 1948 with his second wife Helen Canfield, a white socialite, at the suggestion of his friend the actor Paul Robeson, who advised them that there would be more tolerance of a mixed race couple in Hawaii than on the American mainland. Robeson, of course, was the well-known black actor and singer who served as a member of the CPUSA and apologist for the old Soviet Union. Davis had known Robeson from his time in Chicago.
The 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.
Davis, frequently accompanied by young Barack Obama and his grandfather Stanley, sold marijuana and cocaine from a "Chicago style" hot dog cart Davis operated near his home on Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki in the early 1970s.
A credible source, a well-known resident of Honolulu, disclosed that Davis was the source of drugs sold and consumed by Obama.
..."Obama was a young kid, about 14 or 15 years old," the source said. "I was told his name was Barry, and there was no doubt Barry knew Davis was selling marijuana and cocaine as well as hot dogs from the stand."
Obama quoted him as saying shortly before going to college: "Leaving your race at the door. Leaving your people behind. Understand something, boy. You’re not going to college to get educated. You’re going there to get trained."
He added, "they’ll yank on your chain and let you know that you may be a well-trained, well-paid nigger, but you’re a nigger just the same."
Is it possible that Obama did not know what Davis was? Hardly, in his book Obama refers to Davis as a contemporary of the communists Richard Wright and Langston Hughes.
This is the key question: What did Obama know and when did he know it?
Which of course raises the disturbing questions that must be asked:
Did Davis recruit Obama?
Frank Marshall Davis -- Author
Here is the cover from, "Black Sex Rebel," now, out of print, that was written by Obama's mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, in which Davis brags of of "swinging," sex with minors, and having sex with an underage girl in Hawaii named Anne. Congratulations, America, we now have a president whose mentor in Hawaii from age 10 to 18 wrote a bisexual pornographic autobiography. What other American politician can say this? A copy of which was obtained from Andrew Walden, a resident of Hilo on the island of Hawaii and publisher of the Hawaii Free Press...
Did Davis teach Obama more than the Communist Manifesto?
In Indonesia, Obama's nanny was an openly gay man. In Hawaii, his mentor was a bisexual pedophile and a black Marxist. This kid didn't have a chance.
And it was Obama's own grandfather who hooked them up, because he thought young Barry should have a black role model.
From his early teens onward, Obama desperately wanted to be black. In "Dreams," he writes, "I was trying to raise myself to be a black man in America, and beyond the given of my appearance, no one around me seemed to know exactly what that meant."
He claims that, "I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." -- and this -- "...never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..."
