The Airlift
“When Senior arrived in Hawaii in June 1959, Kenya’s future president, Jomo Kenyatta was in jail in Kenya,” as reported by a story done in Hawaiian paper after he arrived:

“The Washington Post reported that when Barack Obama, Sr. first arrived in Hawaii he was interviewed by the Hawaiian Press, the reporter Hirozawa relays Obama’s comments, “he would study business administration and wanted to return to Kenya to help with its transition from tribal customs to a modern economy.”

He was concerned, he said, about his generation’s disorientation as Kenyans rejected old ways yet struggled with “westernization,” the date of the story was June, 1959.

The whole story is a lie right from word one of daddy arrived courtesy of an airlift. He didn’t even arrive with the other students, he arrived months before them, so the question becomes why?

All of this can be found at the following link aside from speculation of why. Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, and Jackie Robinson appeal letter, Aug. 24, 1959, box 3, Robinson Papers; Smith, “East African Airlifts of 1959, 1960, and 1961,” 25–43.

Barack Obama wrote that his father “had been selected by Kenyan leaders and American sponsors to attend a university in the United States,” but a list of the students who landed in New York on September 9, 1959, does not contain the name of the elder Obama. Tom Shachtman, working in the African-American Students Foundation (AASF) papers for a book on the airlifts, has found that the elder Obama came in 1959 with support from the AASF but appears to have been routed a different way as he made his way to the University of Hawaii.

It’s the article by HIROZAWA that cannot be found.And if you recall, at his interview on departure from Hawaii in June 1962, the kenyan said he had not been back to Kenya for SEVEN YEARS. So...where did he come from?

Even if nothing else had been found by the researchers (which it has) just the very fact that everyone in this “narrative” is an enigma with pulled articles, scrubbed documents, hidden evidence, missing years, discrepancies right and left - would prove standing alone that something is terribly rotten.

What to speak of actual evidence of a whole ‘nother actual history.
