“Onyango helped care for the president’s half brothers and sister while living with Barack Obama Sr. in Kenya. She moved to the United States in 2000 and applied for asylum in 2002, but her request was rejected and she was ordered deported in 2004.”
Insertion of Mal-Val narrative claims by Fred Nerks with no aupport anywhere:
“Yep. There she goes, the eye witness. She was nanny to the two boys Mark and the mythical ‘David’ and Auma, before the kenyan was killed in 1982.”
My Seizethecarp comment:
Fred Nerks has correctly seen that if Zeituni had been a baby-sitter in the home of Sr. and Ruth and IF the Mal-Val narrative that Roman (born Jan 1961) was there, she would have noticed that Baby David didn’t exist, that Mark was the younger boy (the lighter boy as claimed by FN) and that the older, darker boy was being raised by Sr. and Ruth.
Zeituni does not mention in any interview that I have seen a boy older than Mark with an unknown, non-Kenyan, non-tribal mother who has somehow inserted into Ruth Baker’s maternal care with no explanation as to who his mother is and what her relation to BHO Sr. would have been.
But Zeituni, who aggressively refutes “lies” about her family says nothing to refute Mark and David being Sr.’s two boys with Ruth and says nothing to indicate that they were not exactly who Mark and Ruth say they were.
The Huffpo article says Zeituni babysat “the president’s half-brothers and Auma.”
#1812: reprint gone also; would it be available via the wayback machine?
#1813: “..... If Zeituni was age 61 when she died,she was born circa 1953 and would have been 8 years old when Barry was born and the alleged letter announcing his birth reached the family in Kenya. .....”
Great observation!
She would have been about second grade... no way would she have been able to grasp anything beyond “you have a new nephew”.
:#1814: “..... Zeituni does not mention in any interview that I have seen a boy older than Mark with an unknown,non-Kenyan,non-tribal mother who has somehow inserted into Ruth Baker’s maternal care with no explanation as to who his mother is and what her relation to BHO Sr. would have been. ...”
Another good point.
Any older children would have been Kenyan on both sides from bho SR and Kezia (Malik, Auma).
And any younger children would have been the part kenyan children Mark and David.
If auntie was babysitting, it may be when she was 14; that puts the date at the earliest at around 1967.
This would have been when Ruth’s oldest boy Mark was two, and David newborn or not born yet.
This agrees with “auma and the half brothers” if David not born yet.
Brothers could have been more than two also.
