Jo Ann Newman was the name used in a eulogy of Malcom X - in which she was described as someone who worked in the classified advertising department of the publication which published the eulogy.
Is she still alive?
As the eulogy was quite obviously written by someone who had an intimate knowledge of both the deceased, the practice of islam and many of the mourners present at the funeral, it wasn't written by a person who worked in the classified advertising department named Jo Ann Newmann. The eulogy was written by someone who attended the funeral, someone from the Malcolm X inner circle.
What is she doing now?
The author of the eulogy wrote under an assumed name, using the name of a well known actress.
Was she really Obama's mother?
Jo Ann Newman was the name of a well known actress. I doubt if she was zero's mother, she was married to Paul Newman.
Why did Martha Trowbridge go silent?
Because she (who-ever she might be) stirred up a controversy and then converted her site to pay to view. The blogger knows people are suckers.
Was she and her family threatened by Obama's people?
There is no person named Martha Trowbridge, and there never was a Jo Ann Newman who wrote the eulogy. It's pretty hard to threaten a non-existant person.
WHY AREN'T YOU ASKING 'WHO IS MARTHA TROWBRIDGE?'
“The author of the eulogy wrote under an assumed name, using the name of a well known actress.”
Martha says “Jo Ann Newman” is still alive and that she was a close relative of Fred Newman, major communist organiser. As far as I know Martha is a real person. There is no evidence that the Eulogy was written under an assumed name. On the contrary, the Amsterdam News explicitly states that, in print with the story, that Jo Ann Newman worked for them. Maybe the Eulogy was written by Fred Newman or Lenora Fulani. Come to think of it, maybe Fred Newman and Lenora are Obamster’s parents? Maybe Uncle Frank was really Fred? Who knows. Anyway, after 8 years of “research”, I am really disappointed that no one is prepared to state with evidence the full true story. It may be that all we are seeing is smoke and mirrors and that the disputes between various posters is just bluster to disguise that they are all on the same team.
“It’s pretty hard to threaten a non-existant person.”
Hmmmm. So THAT’S how the threats are rationalized, yes? In the Universe Of Enemies Within, I do not exist.
