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.

Lecture title: Malcolm X, Sukarno’s Indonesia, and the Politics of Bandung
Sukarno, Indonesia’s first president, and Malcolm X shared the platform at Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church in 1956, introduced there by mutual friend Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. The relationship launched there endured until Malcolm X’s untimely death in 1965, two weeks before he was slated to speak at the Asian-African Islamic Conference in Jakarta. He had also planned to attend the tenth anniversary celebration of the 1955 Bandung Conference, the first large-scale Asian-African conference. Iandola explores this little-known relationship to illuminate their ideological affinities as well as the Cold War politics of the Third World.
