For a very long time I’ve suspected that the child born to SADO died in either 1972 or 1973.
The photographs between the young child named Barry and the adolescent named Barack are so very different, and all the later photos appear to be photoshopped, that this has led me to suspect they aren’t the same person. The photos of ten year old Barry Soetoro look as though he is ill, with a puffy face and blotched skin; he looks like a boy I knew who died from a blood cancer.
That there may be a close relationship - according to Fred Nerks, SAD worked as a nanny in Chicogo the summer of 1961 - could provide a reason for the closeness between the Dunhams and Bari Shabazz. We know that SADO didn’t die in 1970, so why would her aunt say that Barry’s mother died unless SADO wasn’t his mother.
Also, and this has really bothered me, there doesn’t seem to be any affection towards Grandpa and Grandma Dunham by their ‘grandson’. That isn’t normal unless he wasn’t their grandson.
Just musing here - I have no facts. But facts seem very scarce when discussing BHO2.
I don't think Fred Nerks was saying Stanley worked as an "au paire" in Chi-town in 61, but in the book she is made to say that she did. Everything in the book is put there for reasons.
I WAS ONLY SIXTEEN THEN. SO IF SHE WAS BORN IN NOVEMBER 1942, THAT STATEMENT RELATES TO 1958-59
NOT 1961.(thanks, jeremiah) (
