I respect the
American Thinker, but Don Wilkie only has two articles there.
I suspect Mr. Don Wilkie is noting but an Obama enabler, apologist, and his political operative.
His Company,
Wilkie Brothers Conveyors, Inc. has 3 Owners, and he gave donations to
PHIL GRAMM FOR PRESIDENT, INC.
His theories have less proof, than I do. No, he's not credible.
A passenger manifest with the Obama's name on it wouldn't surprise me at all, as the truth always seems to come out.
But the money issue ... come on.
Look at all the
financial supporters Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. had.
"In 1959, Obama Sr. received a scholarship in economics through a program organized by nationalist leader Tom Mboya.
The program offered Western educational opportunities to outstanding Kenyan students.[22][23][24]
Initial financial supporters of the program included Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, and Elizabeth Mooney Kirk,
a literacy advocate who provided most of the financial support for Obama Sr.'s early years in the United States, according to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University.
Funds provided the following year by John F. Kennedy's family paid off old debts of the project and subsidized student stipends,
thereby indirectly benefiting Obama Sr. and other members of the 1959 group of scholarship holders.
Yes, it's quite clear that money wasn't a problem for the Marxists Revolutionaries.
Yes, he was a member in good standing with the communist left. I have pointed out before (to others) that associating with communists or supporting communism was an automatic denial for a visa. (As was polygamy.)
I still do not reconcile the reports of Obama Sr. struggling with money with the notion that he could fly people back and forth to Kenya. To what purpose? To get his then wife Keiza pissed off at him? How is THAT going to help anything?
I've never bothered to look into the background of Don Wilkie, but I don't regard him giving money to Phil Gramm as any sort of discrediting of him. Back in the eighties and nineties, Phil Gram was about the only one talking about fiscal sanity.
As for his theories, I thought he provided references to the documents he cited. Do these documents not stand on their own merits? I would think that they do. Wilkie just points out the connections, and what he says makes sense to me. I do not accept what he says because it is Don Wilkie Saying it, (I do not know him in the slightest) I accept it because it seems reasonable.
I am willing to look at other information, but as yet I have seen very little that convinces me that Barack or Anybody else could afford to, or wished to send himself and Stanley Dunham to Kenya for any reason. Not to say it is impossible, but it makes far less sense than other likelier scenarios.
