Why Barack Obama listed his birthplace as Kenya
Doug Ross@Journal ^ | 5/19/12 | Doug Ross

Posted on 05/20/2012 5:44:11 AM PDT by pookie18

The biography provided by Barack Obama to his literary agent specified his birthplace as "Kenya". And, over the course of 17 years, despite multiple revisions by Obama, the Kenyan birthplace remained a fundamental part of the bio on the agent's website.

Was Barack actually born in Kenya? I seriously doubt it, even though Michelle Obama has publicly stated that Kenya is her husband's "home country". Contemporary newspaper listings in Honolulu, for example, list the time and place of his birth. While this isn't ironclad proof, to be sure, it's good enough for me.

No, my suspicion is that Mr. Obama manipulated his birthplace intentionally (and cynically) to take advantage of certain benefits unavailable to those born in the United States.

Bookworm Room describes why that might have been. We need to set the Wayback Machine to 1978, when young Obama was seeking admission to college.

1978 isn’t just any year. It’s a very special year. It was the year that the Supreme Court decided Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978) 438 U.S. 265... [and] held that [the] race-based admission process was unconstitutional.

With that decision, Obama, who was a self-confessed slacker in high school, suddenly lost his e-ticket to a good college. He couldn’t know then (nor would it have mattered) that the various concurrences in this deeply divided opinion would eventually open the door to colleges and universities making race a “factor” in admission, so much so that this “factor-ness” eventually created a whole new quota system.

My best guess is that, denied an opportunity to use quota systems to parlay a lousy academic record into a quality college admission, Obama searched around for other means of bypassing his academic failings. It was this search that led him to announce that he was Kenyan. I’m sure that a certain amount of digging will reveal that, just when the Bakke decision came down, American universities were engaged in some sort of pro-active policy involving increasing the number of African nationals on America’s college campuses. Obama was happy to oblige the universities in this effort by co-opting his father’s nationality, and burying the fact that he was a garden-variety American black kid.

There’s the nexus — In 1978, Obama, who already then was willing to lie to achieve his goals, created a false identity to deal with the changes the Bakke decision wrought on college admissions.

This appears to be an extremely plausible explanation for Obama's refusal to release any of his college transcripts.

My guess is that this scenario -- or one similar to it -- helps explain why Obama enjoys the company of race-hustlers like Al Sharpton.

And where was the media for lo these many years? Busy investigating Sarah Palin's elementary school chums?

Totally the same dude. Same little flippy-up hair and all. He appears to be five foot tall in the one photo and seven foot tall next to obama.

I always saw the born in Kenya story as a feint, something like the mother-bird that runs around in ever increasing circles to keep the hunter away from the eggs in her nest, the bird screams kenya! kenya! kenya! and the hunter follows her as she draws him away from what is precious to her...

A list of names of foreign entries into the US from Egypt during that period might be of more interest than ONE solitary entry from Kenya.

Look who was in Cairo LINK

That’s the problem with photographs, one never knows who might show up with something from an album, this one must have come from one of the group in that image, I think it was reproduced in a book...could have been the one by Janny Scott, ‘A Singular Woman’ but I’m not sure...

But there IS one image of Stanley Ann Dunham with a group in what appears to be Central Park, and Boerner, the supposed flat-mate of zero is standing behind her.

*******

I don't think that Obama's mother took the picture of Obama sitting on the bench with his grandparents for this reason: If the mother took the picture, I would think that she would then give the camera to Obama and tell him to take a picture of her with her parents in a similar pose where Obama is sitting on the bench with his grandparents.

To me, seeing Obama's mother posing with Obama and others in the picture you show us, tells me that Obama's mother would have wanted to take some pictures with her parents, if she was walking around with Obama and his grandparents on the day that we see Obama sitting on the bench with his grandparents.

So unless someone can show me a picture of Obama's mother with her parents in New York City with her parents wearing the same clothes that they are wearing in the picture with Obama, then I say that it wasn't Obama's mother who took that picture of Obama's grandparents sitting on the bench in New York City with Obama.

I think it's fairly obvious that the 'family' weren't in Central Park on the same day...at the same time. I even have doubts that the Dunhams sat on that bench in Central Park. They could have been sitting anywhere...it looks to me as if the surroundings were added; the wall certainly appears to have been constructed around them:

There are a number of benches along the wall in Central Park - and in none of the images I collected does the wall appear to be thrown together as is shown in the tampered image with the 'family'

The Central Park group is a combination of elements designed to tell us that the Dunhams visited zero in New York, and the only reason I can think of for that exercise is because they no longer had a relationship with zero after he left Hawaii.

I don't see any black people, especially black girls, in the picture.

The picture got me to wonder: Did Obama date any black girls before he met his wife?

Are there any pictures of Obama on the internet with any black girls in high school or in college? If not, why not? If not, I find that strange.

I’ve waited for you to explain why the HDOH, Selective Service, NARA, Passport Office, and Social Security Administration have all apparently engaged in fraud.

The operative word is "apparently". I can't explain it all. I'm with you regarding your defense of the military. I have three active duty in my immediate family.

What doesn't add up to me is despite all this apparent evidence, why is the only elected official in the country interested in getting to the bottom of it Sheriff Joe? Not one elected official in D.C. of either party seems to want to touch any of this with a ten foot pole.

not any sane person’s version of “great sport”.

I don't consider any of them sane.

I don’t know when he started to think of himself as a coloured person. Probably not until he found it advantageous. GIRLS? This story surfaced recently:

Google GENEVIEVE COOK. There were a number of threads about her on FR. She just happened to attend the same educational institution as William Ayres at the same time...a white woman born in Australia of all places...

The group photo with Zero, Stanley Ann, others and Boerner is odd. Since Zero is IIRC 6’1”, that would make Boerner at least 6’5” or so, and in the photo of Boerner by himself, he looks like a short man. And how tall was Stanley? Zero looks sort of miniature in that photo. Maybe I’m just too cynical.

Zero has his head tilted slightly, straighten it and you add another inch, that makes Boerner a few inches taller than zero, and I see nothing strange about that. Look at his legs in that image, he's got very long legs. I also see no advantage in anyone adding Boerner to that group image, if that's what you are thinking. He's there in that apartment, he's standing on the same rug. Wouldn't surprise me if Boerner didn't supply that group image himself, he was interviewed, it was known who and where he was, he wouldn't have been hard to find.

Now, whether he told the truth about their time at Columbia together or not, goodness knows. But Boerner was evidently there in that apartment and in Central Park.

pardon me for jumping in here butter, but I have thought about that issue a great deal. What this cabal have done has so damaged the office of The President of the United States of America, that if the truth were to come out whilst he was still in office, the US would be the laughing stock of the entire planet. It's not zero they are all protecting, but the standing in the world of the greatest, most powerful nation on earth. And THAT is what the enemy within wants to destroy...imo, as an Australian.

I guess it’s the photo of Boerner by himself that makes him look short, sort of foreshortened.

God bless and protect all those who serve. And all those who love them. I’ve got 3 nephews in the USMC right now. You and I probably have a lot more in common than separates us - something I always seem to be too quick to forget.

A theory I have regarding that has support from what Bettina Viviano has said, as well as what a guy who wrote white papers about economic terrorism has written in his book - and some of the evidence from his book. I’ve got tons of info that led me to think this is what happened as well, but don’t have time right now to go into it all.

A very thin summary:

George Soros, who has always been a communist and has gotten rich by manipulating currencies, has said that the 2 enemies that he (as God, he actually believes) needs to fight are the USA and capitalism. He has said that he is afraid the US would win the war on terror, because then those 2 great evils - America and capitalism - would then be strong. Soros has also said that he owns the democratic party; he has bought and paid for them; they are his.

The Cloward-Piven Plan was developed by Columbia University professors Richard Cloward and Francis Fox-Piven. Piven recommended the start of The New Party, to try to merge communism with the democratic party there in Chicago. Obama was a signed member of The New Party. Some of the platforms of the Cloward-Piven Plan to destroy the US included the subversion of the electoral system through the Motor Voter Act, ACORN, etc and the destruction of our economy by flooding it with welfare/illegals/takers and overtaxing the producers, as well as by forcing banks to do subprime lending. Barack Obama, in his only acts as a lawyer, argued Motor Voter and harassed banks to get them to do subprime lending (via the Community Reinvestment Act) - which ultimately led to the banks’ plunge to imminent bankruptcy.

Dang, this is going to be too long. I need to cut to the chase. Bettina Viviano says top dems told her that Soros asked both Hillary and Obama if they would go along with his plan to destroy the US economy. Hillary wouldn’t; Obama would. What Soros needed was control of enough money that he could do on a global scale the same kind of economic terrorism that he had done his whole life on individual countries -economic terrorism methods that are also embraced by Islam, and the guy who wrote the book I referenced says that our intelligence people were asked (in 2007, IIRC) if they were aware of a Muslim economic attack that was going to be coming.

What Soros did was to unite the enemies of the USA: communism and Islamism. Together, they controlled enough money to make the Sept 2008 run on the bank. Having displayed their power, they then had the ammunition to use as a threat to get anybody they wanted to comply with their wishes.

Basically they took the US and all its systems hostage, saying to all the critical people: “We did the run on the bank in Sept 2008 and we can do it again at any time of our choosing, and destroy the whole world’s economy. Play by our rules and we’ll let the world go on as before. Mess with us, and Armageddon is on your shoulders.”

We know that Soros threatened NBC, CBS, and FOX, as well as 2 prominent radio companies, in October and December of 2008, saying to the heads of those companies that if they allowed anybody to report on Obama’s eligibility (and later that was extended to include his radical connections as well), something very bad would happen. The media heads said to their on-air personalities that the threat was FCC and FTC annihilation after the election if they didn’t do as they were told - and the media companies said careers and possibly lives would be destroyed if anybody misbehaved. But the threat of FCC/FTC annihilation after the election was a vain threat by itself, because by reporting the threats to Bush’s DOJ, the media companies could have kept Obama out of the White House and eliminated the threat. It had to be something much bigger.

I believe it was the threat of another run on the bank. And I believe we can pinpoint the exact days when President Bush and John McCain were threatened (McCain suspended his campaign and tried to cancel the debates, and Bush gave a speech saying it would be the end of the world if we didn’t pass TARP - all on the same day), when Judge Surick (in the Berg case) was threatened, when Chief Justice John Roberts was threatened (the very same day as SCOTUS refused to hear Donofrio’s case, but before the result was announced, Roberts issued an ex parte invitation to Obama to meet at the Supreme Court; all previous meetings had been instigated by the PRESIDENT-ELECT, not the judge - and never when there was anything pending before SCOTUS that involved the President-elect). John Boehner as minority leader was probably made aware of the threat. The eligibility judges that had ethics breaches - Judge David Carter, Michael Malihi, etc...

Like I said, I’ve got a LOT of reasons why I believe this; it’s too much to go into (I’m already way behind on my newspaper work for the week so I need to get back to work soon). But this scenario would explain a lot of things that otherwise don’t make sense. Why good, patriotic people in positions of power are standing idly by while Obama trashes all the checks and balances, the Constitution, the rule of law, etc...

This guy’s book - Kevin D Freeman (see http://secretweapon.org/about-author/ and see also http://lys-dor.com/tag/unrestricted-warfare/ I don’t have time to find the link to the video by The Heritage Foundation or the article by The American Legion, but they’ve both had stuff about it; the Heritage Foundation video was the subject of a thread here at FR). Anyway, “Secret Weapon” is about the use of economic terrorism, and he believes that economic terrorism was used in Sept 2008. The scary thing is that he can’t get anybody in the government to do anything to keep this from being able to happen again.

If my theory is correct, somebody like Boehner would always have to block any efforts that would put the US on more stable economic ground - for fear of Soros triggering economic Armageddon. The leaders - even non-RINO leaders - would believe the first thing we have to do is to get Obama out of office and take the House and Senate so protection against economic terrorism could be passed very quickly, thus robbing Soros of his weapon with which he has held the US hostage.

I don’t like this theory. But the more I see, the more I suspect it might be true - because it explains what we’re all seeing but none of us understands.

I wish I had time to explain more of my reasons, but I guess this is already too long as it is. lol.

And now I better get back to work.

I’m sure that a certain amount of digging will reveal that, just when the Bakke decision came down, American universities were engaged in some sort...
___________________________________
Just how is author “sure” and why did he not do the digging?!?! Whole premise is based on the Bakke decision, yet no digging on his assumption that universities were making loopholes for foreign students???

Makes sense to you? Doesn’t to me.

I worked at a university from 1979-1981 and was responsible for handling application files for graduate engineering candidates...both foreign and US citizens. There was no active effort on the part of the university to solicit foreign students to fill quotas that I was aware of.

When foreign students applied, there was substantial paperwork involved...I.e, forms and documents that needed to be filed by foreign students from them and their government to our government and the university.

From my experience working with foreign student applications, it seems very unlikely to me that a student could one day simply decide that they wanted to be a “foreign” student.

More plausible that he was born in Kenya.

I think it is highly implausible that he played the system faking foreighn citizenship.

Thank you for taking the time to detail the background that has led to your theories. You have really done your homework. I have heard much of what you write about while listening to Glenn Beck from time to time.

I just have a very hard time believing that so many people, knowing of or being subject to threats, would cower silently in fear. The best way to diffuse a threat is to expose it in all its entirety.

If what you write is true, George Soros would be ruined, never accepted by polite society again, and dogged by angry detractors for the rest of his days. He would also be a criminal. Threatening public officials in order to effect policy is criminal activity.

I guess I ascribe to the axiom that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. So I attribute the crash of 2008 to the unsustainable housing bubble (most economists concur) and I attribute all the anomalies about Obama’s records to his wanting to hide the fact that he used his Kenyan and Indonesian heritage to receive preferential treatment at Harvard and Columbia. I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually falsified his admission documents and claimed that he WAS born in Kenya or that he was a dual citizen - U.S. and Indonesia.

He could have done this on a host of documents, including Social Security application, Selective Service registration, etc. The recent information regarding his bio in his books (that he was born in Kenya) that went uncorrected for years supports my opinion. Also the “composite girlfriend” and other obviously fabricated accounts in his books lead me to think that he created a larger than life bio fantasy because he felt compelled to be much more unique and important than he actually was. No surprise, he’s a narcissist.

Obama must be defeated and he can be defeated on the issues. Then we can condemn him and his America hating cohorts to the ash heap of history.

Seconded.

Again, I have no idea where this guy was born, but it strains credibility to say that he fabricated a Kenyan birth when all the evidence is shouting otherwise. He didn't hire all those Kenyan relatives from some temp agency.
