I’m just a rank amateur when it comes to the serious side of such investigative research, so I try to contribute what I can (which is rare) from that perspective (fresh eyes/thoughts) sometimes finding a nut, like, I suppose, the proverbial blind pig. Undaunted, I’m still in the hunt for a prized truffle or two.

Is the blackened out area between Dunham and Obama, at about shoulder level, the photographic mischief that you speak of? Is there something else that I’m missing, aside from the possibility of the layering up of the leis, that is fraudulent about the photo?

The hand giving Obama the “rabbit ears” is obviously a right hand. What’s not as clear, is- whether the hand belongs to someone that was blackened out, covered up by the leis, or belongs to the short person with the glasses further in the back.

I remind myself of the photo “taken” of the three amigos sitting on the park bench, where grandpa has a giant sized hand on grandma’s shoulder. Clearly a fake. So if one image is a fake, all are circumspect.

Then again, was a fake... that’s so obvious, made intentionally, to drive researchers mad with some kind of feint strategy?

You have a situation where a fellow like national-security guru Angelo Codevilla identifies some people in an image without quoting a source of the photograph, and attributing it to the arrival of the Kenyan in August 1959, after 'Dreams' tells us that the Dunhams didn't move to Hawaii until 1960, after their daughter graduated from high school...where btw, we haven't been able to find her after 1959 and the year books for the year 1960 were all stolen... And we can clearly see that the image has suffered some major mischief, there's a man there with a missing arm, and Stanley Armour Dunham appears to have his arm in the Kenyan's pocket...but the sleeve of the jacket the Kenyan is wearing is a different colour, and he appears to have been wearing a coat, the remnants of which are still visible, the fabric of which separates the two men. It's quite difficult to describe. If I had a dollar for every time I stared at that image, I would be having a weekend on the French Riviera. One of our number pointed out that the Japanese woman centred is wearing a dress that was, on enlargement, painted over with black ink. Her graduation image from 1959 shows her wearing the same dress but it was a black dress with white spots. And the lei are a joke. If nothing else was odd, one would ask, what was the purpose? But hot-shot SECURITY GURU didn't bother. And the page on which he made that comment (something from a book he wrote?) has been removed. Follow the line of the white trousers of the captain and the officer, and their legs have been cut off in the middle. There's something white on the ground, but what is it? Deliberate or not, our Security Guru swallowed it hook line and sinker. Or set it up.
