Which all boils down to WHY? WHY all the lies way back when? WHY even start the lies? WHY were so many willing to go along with the them 50 years ago and WHY were they keeping them up into the 90s. I can see the Kenyan tribe going along with it when he became a Senator but WHY would they buy it lock, stock and barrel back during his childhood and through middle age? WHY, other that it might have been stylish, for the Dunhams to be party to it? WHY would Lolo take on unknown kid? WHY would Sr. bother with some fatherless brat even if he got a free month's trip out of it?
Why? Simple. Because paternity needed to be hidden from the very moment of his birth, and one lie always leads to another.
They lied about who Zero was back then because MX was very famous - infamous - then assassinated. So MX’s son had to have another ID. So a fake ID had to be procured; and the Kenyan’s son was born around the same time, was a person “Of color” (not the same color, though, Zero is remarkably pale for supposedly being half Kenyan, his so-called father is dark like night); the Kenyan was willing to go along with it no doubt for $. All the other players were commies. The Kenyan tribe probably didn’t even know of the charade until the early 80s and then money talks, doesn’t it. And if money doesn’t talk loud enough, threats work even better.
Commies have a Mission. They’re driven. And many people will do or say anything for money. There was obviously a lot of money being tossed around. All that traveling - Stanley back and forth to Indo, Pakistan; Zero back and forth from US to Indo, going to Punahou - a very expensive school, etc.
Money didn’t appear to be a problem at all. Someone or something was funding the entire charade.
