“Although the INS record does not name Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama, the probability that there could have been another U.S. citizen mother giving birth to her child in that region including Kenya in the month of August 1961 and seeking the assistance of a U.S. Consular officer to obtain a certificate of citizenship are vanishingly small.”-WX
OK I get it - thanks.
Which document shows an August birth? (I only saw 1961.)
BTW - I also concur on the scrubbing, but I wanted to know what was worth scrubbing here.
What we really need is the record/index of citizen born abroad approvals granted or documents issued, with names on it. Where were these issued? Where were/are the records kept?
Keeping this reply short, it is derived by the overlap of the multiple documents. One document has a timeframe running from July 1960 through June 1961, another from July 1961 through June 1962, and the missing week in the passenger arrivals microfilm in the first week of August 1961 only. Putting them all together, they imply the first week of August 1961, including 4 August 1961, as the only time period in which all of the records coincide as a window of opportunity.
“what was worth scrubbing here[....]
Some of the obvious records went missing, such as the U.S. Passport file for Stanley Ann Dunham in the timeframe relevant to August 1961. The passenger arrival records held on microfilm at the National Archives for the first week of august 1961 was reported missing by the Cold Case Possee at the 1 March 2012 press conference. As usual, there have been other records such as these reports discussed in the other Freeper article which appears to have been unanticipated and overlooked by anyone scrubbing the past records. By themselves, they are not necessarily damaging. In combination, however, they tend to isolate the one week in the beginning of August which just so happens to coincide with the alleged date of birth of Obama. Given the rarity of a mother with American citizenship giving birth in that region inclusive of Kenya in 1961, the coincidence and rarity are compelling circumstances practically demanding a convincing and evidentiary explanation. Absent these discovered records, we would not have the evidence so narrowly bracketing and focusing upon the same week as the alleged 4 august 1961 birth of Obama.
