Could someone explain the issue of Obama's birth certificate? I've seen Sheriff Joe present findings that it is a forgery along with the selective service card. Then I recall Ann Coulter claiming "her paper," human events has debunked the "birther" nonsense, but I don't really bother reading her columns any longer preferring not to be insulted by "three cheers for Romneycare." I mean, is there really credible evidence that Obama is not a U.S. citizen because that would be huge..
Ann and her newborn son flew from Nairobi to London, via BOAC Flight BA162 and then took the non-stop BOAC flight from London to Vancouver, Canada. She then traveled the 110 miles or so, across the border, to Seattle in time to start Fall Semester, night-school extension classes at the University of Washington.
The trip would be challenging for a new mother, but she was young, healthy, intelligent, and capable. BOAC was very accomodating to mothers with young children back in the 1960s. No real problem!
From the Airline Timetable Images - List of Complete Timetables, the cost of BOAC from April 24,1960 until October 1, 1962 was:
That statistic about a child of an American parent being born in Kenya is at the moment circumstantial evidence, but it *IS* evidence. If we manage to get a look at that specific document, (Citizenship Certificate) and it is in any way connected to Obama, then the "born in Kenya" theory would be virtually proven.
The efforts now need to focus on getting a copy of that specific document.
You mean that if I disagree with your "born in Kenya" theory, I must be trying to confuse people. I of course look at it as exactly the opposite of that. Apart from that, if you are referring to me, you OUGHT to use my full name, because there is another Freeper called "Diogenes" and I'm sure he won't appreciate having his name used in such a nasty and derogatory manner.
Ann had access to money, her parents were not by any measure poor.
And how do you know this? Certainly later when Madelyn Dunham became Vice President of the bank, they may have had money to blow on their daughter doing something idiotic, but hadn't they just moved to Hawaii in 1960? Stanley Armour was a furniture salesman, and Madelyn didn't start out as a bank Vice President. I don't know where you get the notion that they had lots of money at this time, but if You can back it up, I would be more than happy to learn of it.
And, they were leftists, and therefore probably embraced S.A.s modern choices. Obama Sr. would have wanted his son born in the home country for cultural reasons, ergo, it seems, based on ALL the evidence, that he made that happen.
That's funny, because I recall reading somewhere that Barack Obama Sr's Father HATED the idea of his son mixing his noble Luo blood with that of an inferior white woman. Here it is. Here's a link and a quote. (bottom of the page and continued on the next page.)
About that same time, another letter crossed the Pacific, this one heading to Africa. It was from Barack Obama Sr. to his mother, Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama. Though the letter didn't go into great detail, it said he had met a young woman named Ann (not Stanley). There wasn't much on how they met or what the attraction was, but he announced their plans to wed.The Dunhams weren't happy. Stanley Ann's prospective father-in-law was furious. He wrote the Dunhams "this long, nasty letter saying that he didn't approve of the marriage," Obama recounted his mother telling him in "Dreams." "He didn't want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman."
Do you really think Obama wanted to go back and face his Father and Wife Keiza with his new white wife? Obviously his father wasn't going to loan him the money to fly them both back. Why you think the Dunhams wanted to do so is beyond me. I also recall reading that Madelyn Dunham was terrified at the prospect of her daughter going to Kenya because she had read accounts of all the violence going on over there at the time. I think it is in Jack Cashill's book "Deconstructing Obama" (I have a signed copy.) where this is mentioned.
It doesnt matter at this point. The posted BC is a common fraud, making the President a suspect for fraud, and impeachable. Diogenes efforts can only be characterized as an epic fail at this point.
If you say so. I'm not impressed with your ability to analyze things, so your insults have no sting. You may believe whatever you wish and it's not going to worry me at all. If you come up with some evidence to support your idea, i'll be happy to look at it.
Thanks for pointing that out. I was afraid it sounded too good to be true.
By the way, I thought “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” was an awesome freakin movie!
The Timetable website is cool. I love those old documents.
I never actually took money into account because Obama Sr. seemed to be able to fly to the US in the first place. So there was some source of funds.
Now as to the COC, the one issued was not necessarily issued in Kenya, but somewhere the rest of Africa (other Africa). That’s a lot of territory. The Table breaks Africa down to Libya, Morocco, South Africa, Egypt and Other. So the first thing that needs to be shown is that the COC was in fact issued in Kenya.
Have you seen the Ken Allen’s FOIA document dump?
There are a number of documents that say the Obama Sr. last date of entry into the United States was in 1959 (page 8, Date, Place , and Manner of Last Entry into the United States; 8/9/59 - NYC - Student) and on page 10 the date is listed as 8/9/60. But there are no other documents that have later entry dates.
On page 35 is the William Wood II handwritten memo dated 8/31/1961;
Memo 8/31/61
Obama, Barack H. A11938537
Claims to intend to attend Univ. Hawaii for at least one more year to gain Bach Arts Degree in Economics.
U.S.C. spouse to go to Wash State University next semester. When finished school here plans to go to mainland school for a Doctor Degree in Econmoics after that to return to Kenya. They have one child born Honolulu on 8/4/1961 Barack Obama II, child living with mother (she lives with parents & subject resides at 1482 Alencastre St.).
William J. Wood II
Discussed with D.D.D & D.D no reason to deny ext.
W.W.
And on page 40 is the memo from Lyle Dahlin:
“Mrs. McCabe, University of Hawaii, Foreign Student advisor, called on 4/10/61 and reported that BARACK H. OBAMA, astudent at the University since 1959 was married on February 2, 1961 to Stanley Ann Dunham, a United States citizen from Seattle, Washington in Maui, Hawaii. The problem is that when he arrived in the U.S. the subject had a wife in Kenya.”
IIRC, someone reported that Obama Sr. attended a summer class in 1961.
My understanding is that he and many other African Students were airlifted (paid for by the US Government) as part of a program to help Africa and put some good will credit in the bank regarding America. He didn't pay for it himself.
Now as to the COC, the one issued was not necessarily issued in Kenya, but somewhere the rest of Africa (other Africa). Thats a lot of territory. The Table breaks Africa down to Libya, Morocco, South Africa, Egypt and Other. So the first thing that needs to be shown is that the COC was in fact issued in Kenya.
Yes.
Have you seen the Ken Allens FOIA document dump?
Yes I have. It is a wonderful repository of documents that have helped to clear up some confusion on the issue. (Also to generate a little more on some aspects.)
There are a number of documents that say the Obama Sr. last date of entry into the United States was in 1959 (page 8, Date, Place , and Manner of Last Entry into the United States; 8/9/59 - NYC - Student) and on page 10 the date is listed as 8/9/60. But there are no other documents that have later entry dates.
And this is a VERY GOOD point. I have always insisted that if Barack Sr. didn't go, then Stanly Ann certainly didn't go. It is NONSENSICAL to believe that Stanley Ann would have gone by herself. Period. You're pointing out that Barack Sr's documents demonstrate that he didn't come back into the United States during 1961, effectively proves that he didn't LEAVE the United States in 1961. That is a SERIOUS blow to the "born in Kenya" theory. Likely a Fatal one in my opinion. No doubt some will suggest the documents have been altered to cover up his return trip in 1961. :)
On page 35 is the William Wood II handwritten memo dated 8/31/1961;.....And on page 40 is the memo from Lyle Dahlin:
Yes, this is evidence that whether they were married in Hawaii in some legal fashion, they certainly TOLD other people they were married.
IIRC, someone reported that Obama Sr. attended a summer class in 1961.
It ought to show up in his college transcript. I recall reading a Newspaper article which said he was working at a Pineapple cannery in the summer of 1961, but I suppose he could have taken a night course or something.
I think any President who would submit to such humiliation would be disowned by his own party. That is simply not going to happen. The suggestion that it might implies a perspective with a serious disconnect from reality.
On a secondary point, Why on earth would you put stock in ANY document coming out of Africa? Seriously? You can BUY any kind of document you want, and it will SAY anything you want it to say.
Believing in African documents that were not explicitly and formerly issued by the Actual governments of those countries (and sometimes not even then) is no different from believing there is someone in Nigeria that wants your help in moving ten million dollars out of the country and will pay you a million for your assistance.
You have GOT to be kidding me? Mysterious African documents are utter crap. They are as valid as Zimbabwean Dollars.
There is a problem with that Kenya BC. The signature of the Chief Administrator is Helton Maganga and his stamp says Helton Maganga.
But his Linkedin page says his name is Heltan Maganga
http://ke.linkedin.com/pub/heltan-maganga/27/980/1b8
I would think the Chief Administrator, Surgeon would know how to spell his own name.
None of the links you posted to other than linkedin were actually written by Dr. Maganga.
I always assumed the June, 2009 newspaper article is the one that Lucas Smith used. He put the Kenya BC up on E-Bay in July 2009
BTW, did you know that Mr. Smith was convicted of forgery?
As to the hacking of linkedin, I’m going to guess you assume that this was also hacked.

Note her resume, IIRC, there are articles that indicate she was the Chief Administrator until April, 2009. I will try to find a link.
Here is an article from January 1, 2009
http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/archives/news/InsidePage.php?id=1144003096&cid=159
“In Mombasa, five babies were born at Coast Provincial General Hospital. The hospitals chief administrator, Jennifer Othigo, said the babies were all born after midnight.”
This next link is a little convoluted but it starts with this Standard story,
http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/archives/print.php?id=1144009846&cid=159
“Coast General coping despite funding crunch “
“Hospital Chief Administrator Jennifer Othigo refused to comment and referred us to Dr Getambu.”
This article is not dated but this BBC International article refers to the same cash crunch as reported in the Standard by several reporters including the author (Ngumbao Kithi) of the above linked article.
http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-37169120_ITM
“Cash crunch reportedly cripples health services at Kenyan hospitals.”
“Text of report by Sam Otieno, Elizabeth Mwai, Osinde Obare, Francis Ngige, Robert Nyasato, Kepher Otieno and Ngumbao Kithi entitled “Key hospitals grind to a halt as they run out of cash” published by Kenyan privately-owned daily newspaper The Standard website on 26 March; subheadings as published”
The BBC International story is dated March 26, 2009
The new president of Egypt who was once a college prof in the USA claims his son who was born in the USA was eligible to be POTUSA someday. For those that argued such and still probably do this is what our Founders were very much inclined to prevent such persons from becoming POTUSA. They were certain the use of ‘natural’ in their understanding would take care of their concerns but it hasn’t in today’s world citizenship context. There is as much to fear from Mexican anchor babies as there is from Muslim anchor babies.
My brother and I were born of non-citizen immigrants. We both considered ourselves as ‘plain’ citizens. The question of eligibility wasn’t in my mind as a child when I told my 3rd grade teacher I wanted to be POTUS. I’m sure she never said I couldn’t be POTUSA. My brother and I both served overseas in WWII and he was killed on Okinawa. It wasn’t until the fraud whose citizenship is much more blurred than ours became POTUSA that I went back and studied our citizenship situation. I now believe that the Founders had it right but used only the word ‘natural’ to require eligibility as to soil and parents. They were aware of what could happen but I don’t think the they thought an imposter would happen.
