OBAMA’S KENYAN BIRTH RECORDS DISCOVERED IN BRITISH NATIONAL ARCHIVES

The Daily Pen ^ | July 18, 2012 | Dan Crosby

[Seizethecarp]

It now appears the worst fears of the U.S. Constitution’s framers were well founded as investigators working on behalf of the ongoing investigation into the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama have found yet another lead in a growing mountain of evidence within the public records section of the British National Archives indicating the occurrence of at least four vital events registered to the name of Barack Obama, taking place in the British Protectorate of East Africa (Kenya) between 1953 and 1963, including the birth of two sons before 1963.

The record of birth of a second son prior to Kenyan independence is significant because biographical information about Obama’s family indicates Obama Sr. fathered only one other son prior to Obama II’s birth.

The books containing hand written line records of vital events attributed to Obama are contained in Series RG36 of the Family Records section in the Kew branch of the BNA. The hand written line records first discovered in 2009, indicate several events were registered to the name Barack Obama (appears to be handwritten and spelled “Burack” and “Biraq”) beginning in 1953 and include two births recorded in 1958 and 1960, a marriage license registration in 1954 and a birth in 1961. Barack Obama is said to have died in 1982 and had married at least once more in Kenya and had at least one more child in 1968, but no record of these were found in the BNA because, according to the Archives’ desk reference, the events occurred after Kenya achieved independence from British colonial rule in 1963.

To date, Barack Obama II is the only known alleged son of Obama Sr. born after 1960 and before the independence of Kenya became official in 1963.

For the pinglist I started, some have been added by request, and no one has so far asked to be removed, so here goes, some surprises:

From Kansas to Washington, Barack Obama's 'Story'

EXCERPT ONLY

President Obama's mother Stanley Ann with her parents, Madelyn and Stanley. According to family lore, via Maraniss, she was named after her father, who wanted a boy. Another possible piece of inspiration: Madelyn's favorite actress was Bette Davis, who played a female Stanley in the 1942 movie "In This Our Life." PHOTO: COURTESY OF DAVID MARANISS

When her father, a furniture salesman, moved the family to Vernon, Texas, Stanley Ann (far left) attended 3rd and 4th grades at Hawkins Elementary School, where she joined the Friendly Bluebirds troop. PHOTO: COURTESY OF DAVID MARANISS

Growing up "amid the gloom of the Cold War," a friend once said Stanley Ann (top row, fourth from right, without vest) had "a sense of hope and not despair," Maraniss relays. In high school, she was a member of many clubs, including the Mercer Girls social service club. PHOTO: COURTESY OF DAVID MARANISS

In 1960, when Stanley Ann (left) was a senior at Mercer Island High near Seattle, this advertisement appeared in the school yearbook. "She was not the sort to primp or pay much attention to appearances," writes Maraniss. "She wore plaid skirts and saddle shoes and Peter Pan collars." PHOTO: COURTESY OF DAVID MARANISS

Don't forget to read the whole article, but I can't help pointing out that the girl he identifies as fourth from right back row, IS MAXINE BOX and she didn't forget her sweater. And the image is STILL cropped. Why? Why not show us a full page of this mysterious 1960 yearbook?

[little jeremiah]

Very interesting; and the photo is still cropped. I would assume that he has access to the whole yearbook but still crops the page. Odd. Names are chopped off, probably some girls or parts of them.

[Fred Nerks]

His brother wrote with great pride how he had met a ship of The Black Star Line and posed for photographs with the captain...he wrote that it was in 1965 iirc, but that’s open to question. One of the items on the dock might be described as either a sea chest or a camera case.
Richard Wright, who accompanied MX to both the Bandung Conference in Indonesia where MX first met Sukarno (most timelines leave that out) and his first trip to the Middle East in 1959, was a photographer and publisher of a magazine known as NOW! for which we can find no archives.

You really want to go there?

There are people in that image who appear to have been added, one of whom has been tentatively indentified as the Marda who was at the Nachmanoffs in Hawaii. The central character appears to be too tall to be the kenyan, he’s loaded down with a cartload of false lei, and the man who is supposed to be Stanley Armour Dunham has an arm that was taken from the man on the far right - whose right arm is missing.

I have a love-hate relationship with that image. It both tells much and conceals much. One thing it appears to conceal is a white object on the ground - that follows the contours one would expect to see if it was a basinette.

The original of that image would be interesting.

[Fred Nerks]

He has deliberately misidentified the position of SAD in that image, yes, he has mentioned she’s the one with no sweater, but then he crops the names in such a way that you can’t read her full name. Looks like built-in deniabilty.

Now he can say I didn’t say that was her or that was her name. He knows it’s a fake. He also knows where that image originated. From the webpages of the daughter who probably created it.

Again, we have the situation in which not all the girls are shown, bcause IF there were less girls in the front row than the back, a full image of the group would show the IMBALANCE. And cleverly, the way the image is cropped, you can’t tell how many girls were in the group originally.

I think it is now quite obvious why we will never see a book. Once it’s opened, the little games they have been playing, would show. If we are wrong, let them show us.

[LivingNet]

Yes, I see what you are saying that the form has all the boxes and same setup as a Hawaii form but we still know for certain that Wichita never used a form like that especially since it is all hand written. On the other hand the fact it is hand-written seems totally wrong as everyone had typewriters by then. Do you (or anyone) know where that form first came from? where was it first found?

Also it is very very hard to read the BC but it almost looks like the middle name is Anna and not just Ann and also looks like another letter or 2 after the last M of dunham.

Do a map search and directions between the Dunham’s 1617 Beretania St. apartment (coincidentally on the corner of Beretania St. and Punahou), Kapiolani hosptial (Punahou St.)and the Punahou school (Punahou St.). Ignore the round about route that google has recently put up (gee, wonder why?). The birthin’ hospital is right next to and he’d have to pass it every day on his 5 minute walk to school. Most typical white grandma’s look out their apt. window to point out the room where he was born yet he can’t remember where he was born... uh, huh...

In 1960, when Stanley Ann (left) was a senior at Mercer Island High near Seattle, this advertisement appeared in the school yearbook

That's another pic that has been cropped. You'd think the owner/clerk would be in the picture or at least some indication what the name of the business was. At least that's how the ads were done in my old yearbook. It looks like a clothing store with the whatever it is on the counter that is prepackaged. Also, there's the usual for that era, gum at the register. SAD sure does have a thing about not looking at the camera...

[LivingNet]

Hi Fred, can you post the dock photo or a link so i can see what I’m looking for when trying to find an original? also, do you know where it very first originated from so I can trace backwards? thanks.

[bgill]

What's with all the cropped pictures and chopped off heads in the "From Kansas to Washington" story? What was the date for the article?

The above "King Obama" sidewalk pic has been around for years but the same sidewalk below doesn't have "King" on it. There are many discrepancies in the cracks of the sidewalks so we have another REALLY BAD photoshop. Which is the fake and which is real or are they both fake? Notice, as is his m. o., he blames someone else for carving his name.

[Fred Nerks]

[Fred Nerks]

It doesn’t really look like the sort of image one might find in a yearbook, it looks like a snapshot, but there’s no way we will ever know, unless we see a book, is there? And that’s most unlikely. One Freeper who contacted the school was told...we did have some yearbooks here but they were all stolen...maybe they were?

[azishot]

Even though her head is turned a different way her eyes look up and away from the camera. Just thought it was odd. Also, curious as to what the advertisememnt picture was advertising? Always questions.

[little jeremiah]

Was I wrong in remembering that MX returned to the US on a Black Star Line ship?

It’s very interesting that they made the dock photo collage. Why not just hide it, burn it, rip it up?

I can only assume that it supported some part of the myth, and also pre-empted any undoctored photo that might appear at some point.

Like in “NOW”.

[Fred Nerks]

It's too long ago, I cannot recall where I first saw it, sorry. One of the three men with receeding hairline and glasses, appears to have been used twice...and the asian woman in the black dress appears to have been placed to partly conceal the young woman standing close to the central character. And if you think that white object on the ground is anything to do with the legs of the captain, then the man isn't wearing any shoes. Have fun.

[Fred Nerks]

She has the same awful hairstyle as in the ‘graduation’ image...problem is, we don’t know where she was when the photographs were taken.
Nothing on a full page, nothing with a date. No yearbook, no credibility.

[Fred Nerks]

As there’s no record of when and where that dock image first appeared, it’s possibly an ABSTRACT like the BC.

I don’t think it was ever stated that MX was a passenger on a ship of The Black Star Line, his brother wrote that he met friends or relatives on the dock and had his photograph taken with the captain.

Without the original, we don’t know who was in the core group. The image remains a curiousity.

[bgill]

It doesn’t really look like the sort of image one might find in a yearbook

That may be because you're in Australia. In the back of my old yearbook, the local businesses would buy a quarter size or half size page for their advertisement. It would help pay for yearbooks. They'd usually have the student/s who worked there and the owner in the picture. Of course, each one would have a sign or some other indication of the name of the business (well, duh, it's be silly not to have the name of the company in the advertisement, right?). If the student wasn't standing in front of the business' sign he'd be student pictured as acting out his/her job like wearing an apron in a bakery, behind the counter at the pharmacy, arranging flowers at the florist, or at the cash register at a clothing store. That girl in this shown picture is acting like she's talking to the person at the cash register so it's obvious that picture has been cropped. Was there a sign that identified the store in the missing part of the pic or what?

From Kansas to Washington, Barack Obama’s ‘Story’

there is no date that I can see, but the excerpts are from the book by Maraniss, so it must be recent.

Nice how Ruth’s head has been chopped off, I wonder who that really was. Maybe it’s just a device to get you to buy the book, who knows?

[bgill]

Meant to add that there is what appears to be a turnstile or entrance swing gate in the picture. That might have been where the business’ sign would have been.

[Fred Nerks]

... Was there a sign that identified the store in the missing part of the pic or what?

You would need to find a yearbook...we can't possibly answer that.
