Which Maya Sotoro Ng once acknowledged iirc.
— who was besties with Malcolm Little, including working closely with him during his African sojourns while she lived there, and
Who was working at The Arab Voice in Cairo as a journalist in 1960, a position, according to herself, that she obtained through David Du Bois, the son of Shirley Graham Du Bois, who also assisted her to find accommodation in Cairo. David Du Bois discusses meeting with Malcolm several times, but he's careful not to say when that might have been...Malcolm was apparently travelling in Egypt and Africa around July 1959, then again in September 1959 until January or February 1960.
— who hurried to Hawaii for an extended visit with her brother Bailey Johnson shortly after Malcolm was assassinated in 1965 . . .
Maya Angelou's timelines conflict according to whatever bio you read that she's mostly written herself...one of which tells us that she was planning to work for Malcolm in his new organisation named The Organisation of African American Unity...and she was in the US when she heard he had been killed. The trip to stay with her brother in Hawaii was to assist her to recover from the shock of the death of the man whom she loved like a brother...she stayed in Hawaii for six months and sang in nightclubs.
— did we ever connect the dots between Stanley Ann and Ms. Angelou and their common ties to the island? Was there a close relationship, close enough for a namesake, and where did it begin? Were they in Hawaii concurrently 1965? Might a child’s travels be involved?
Tantalizing to speculate, but if you're wondering as I have, where that boy might have been living (as there's nothing to show he was living with the Dunhams at that time) it's quite possible he was living with her dear brother Bailey - who disappeared off the face of the earth 'round about that time. (Later, it was discovered he spent two terms confined in the Big House, once in Sing Sing.) She never wrote about him ever again after that...sad.
I’ve never trusted coincidence.
Not THIS many!

Destroy? I think the Constitution lives on a different plane and, like with the lesser gods of antiquity, is never destroyed.
Instead, it is just ignored and forgotten.
With each believer/practitioner who turns away, its purpose and intentions lose meaning and thus their power. And as they do, it fades away.
Sorta like when a business is purchased and the new owners begin a slow transition to make it theirs. The words, the people, the logo may stay the same for a while, but the definitions are changed. It's not as it was and eventually it may even become its antithesis, its original intent and true meaning and purpose only memories.
From that point of view and for many other reasons, chief among them being the mistaken identity and eligibility of the Commander and Chief, I don't know what we are, but I think we ceased being a constitutional republic quite a while ago.
We don't control our borders, our currency, our vote or elections, etc. The media belongs to the government, which uses it and its other agencies to punish and intimidate its domestic enemies with impunity. Laws are selectively enforced or not. Justice is for sale, liberties enslaved.
I don't know what we are now in this post 9/11 American lockdown, or who the new owners are, but I do know if we had actually followed this "US Constitution" you speak of, our little corner of world wouldn't look like this.
The last photo is from her time in Indonesia, when she was in the field and no longer married. Janny Scott's book talked about how Lolo wanted her to look perfect--hair, makeup, jewelry, like a good Indonesian wife; but Ann had other ideas and "let herself go", especially her weight. It can be speculated that she went au natural for philosophical as well as practical reasons, such as living in small villages in rural Indonesia. Lolo, btw, was probably related to Bapak because Bapak was related to the Jogyakarta royal family as was Lolo, through his mother.
Both those guys are Indonesians. People are not pea plants and not all traits are determined by simple alleles.
“Did you know that when the Soetoros were trying pass off Barack as an Indonesian they explained away his appearance by saying he was from Irian Jaya?”
Excellent point! I’d forgotten that one.
Maya Angelou visited the East-West center in the mid-60s.
And I apologize for the way the comment appeared. I checked it on preview but the preview is not how it looked in the end. I am just now learning how to post photos. Sorry.
ha ha- i had a theory about this a while back to.. was thinking there was 2 differ anns. there is no evidence to support that theory though. i was thinking twins- one ann has short curley hair and a crooked tooth and the other has long streight hair and streight teeth.. I thought mabe a twin, but SAD birth certificate says she was a single birth on it, and everyone said that the SAD birth certificate was legit..I dont believe SAD BC is legit myself..- What i havent seen yet was a Face compair with the short hair ann and the long hair one to see if its a match.. the only one i seen was the FMD girl.

Brown deer also pointed out there is also no mention of a twin, triplet, or anything else..
He was also in Kindergarten with Scott. He is in his class picture for that grade too.
“Speaking of Maya . . . whom Stanley named after Maya Angelou,

World Gratitude Day was launched in 1965 at the International East-West Center in Hawaii during a Thanksgiving Dinner hosted by meditation guru Sri Chinmoy.

World Gratitude Day was started by the United Nations Meditation Group to express appreciation for things that individuals and groups do. Celebration of this lesser known holiday began in 1965 at a Thanksgiving dinner at the International East-West Center in Hawaii. Attendees pledged to hold a similar event the following September 21st in their home countries. This grew to be an annual event and since then, World Gratitude Day is celebrated worldwide.
See my #104--no I don't think he was in Kindergarten with Scott--the picture and the statements of the two "teachers" are the only evidence he was. Neither Scott nor his mother have copies of that picture nor any recollection that Barry was in Kindergarten.
In conflict is his statement to the Harvard Crimson, reprinted on the AP Wire and in numerous other publications, that he went to Indonesia at the age of "about two"; pictures which appear to be taken in the age 2 to age 6 range in Indonesia; statements of individuals who played with him in that age range in a rural environment; the fact that the Soebarkah's lived in the outer island rural area; the absence of any credible supporting data which would place him in Hawaii in 66.
No. I don't believe he was in the Kindergarten class--it's possible.
But I believe as he told the Crimson, that he went to Indonesia in 1963 and remained there until the later 1960's before returning to Hawaii to go to school in 1971.
Scott doesn’t remember him being in his class, that is true. But I don’t remember my kindergarten classmates either.
Thanks, will seek it when I can watch.
He looks absolutely nothing like FMD. But he doesn’t look like Obama senior either.
No, I don’t feel sorry for the adult he is and the decisions he made.
I feel sorry for the abandoned toddler and little grade school boy ripped each time from anyone he bonded with.
His mother should have given him up for adoption. She created an unbonded needy selfish sociopath.
While they really look alike, it would mean his bio mother were of African descent. I don’t see how.
Nope. He doesn’t look like him in all those different photos.
