“There’s another ‘simple’ explanation...he simply wasn’t married to Kezia and he had no children. In ‘Dreams’ words are put into the mouth of Auma; ‘granny’ Sarah tells them, as they dispute who should inherit, none of you are his children”
“Dreams” is totally unreliable and has been forensically demonstrated to have been extensively penned by Bill Ayers, IMO.
The simple explanation is that Sr. was an opportunistic serial liar who put down whichever wives and children he thought would benefit him most at the time, just as he did with his birth year.
On the record, Kezia says she had a tribal marriage with Senior and legitimate biographers at least more independent than Ayers have not even hinted at finding any evidence that Roy and Auma were not BHO Sr.’s children.
In one of the FOIA documents where ‘wife’ is asked for a name appearing to have been a K for Kezia is crossed out and Ann S. Dunham is written in. Just the fact that the name of one wife is scratched out and another substituted implies at least one additional wife.
Also in one of the FOIA docs ‘Roy Obama’ is named as his son when children are asked for (but not Barry). This son had to come from a prior marriage as declaring bastard children to the INS would be out of the question in 1961, I would think.
In the FOIA docs U of HI officials report to INS that BHO Sr. is believed to still be married in Kenya, even though he ‘married’ Stanley Ann after getting her ‘happa’. INS makes a note to challenge any claim by Sr. to have been married to Stanley Ann based on bigamy and an attempt at using a sham marriage to gain or extend entry to the US.
The Mboya letters archive have BHO Sr. asking Mboya to assist his wife in Nairobi while he is completing his studies at Harvard. I have seen no evidence that the Mboya archive is forged.
Seizethecarp,
Looking at posts #850, (854), 855, 856, (857,858), 859, 863, (864), and 867....
I think the b.c. is the document that is out of place w.r.t. the birth year used.
