HOLIYAH SOETORO SABAH, “LIA”, OBAMA’S ADOPTED SISTER
What information was taken to her grave?
You haven’t heard of Lia? Neither had we. The unknown, until now, adopted sister of Barack Hussein Obama died unexpectedly February 26, 1910. The USA media didn’t cover the story of this woman nor was her name found until the last few days. A competent WTPOTUS sleuth, Leza, and other researchers uncovered an article about an adopted “brother” in Indonesia, named Lia or Lee. Following up on a tidbit of information and other clues, more information was uncovered. Lia was an adopted sister, not a brother. Two Indonesian obituaries were just found. These tell the final tale of this woman nicknamed Lia.
Below is a tiny photo of Edi Sobat and Lia Soetoro Sobat.
Her name was Holiyah Soetoro Sobah, age 53, born in 1957. She was the wife of Edi Sobah, age 60. They live in West Java, Indonesia. They had three children: Heni; Marlina, age 27; and Nova Noni, age 25, and four grandchildren. In translated articles Barack Obama is referred to as her “adopted brother” and “foster brother.” The fact she used the name Soetoro certainly is telling. It appears that Lolo and Ann adopted Lia, but there is no documentation for that assumption, just her words in an article. The only knowledge we have about Lia is from one article and her obituaries.
An Indonesian article was written about Lia’s invitation to the presidential inauguration in 2008. She was very excited about seeing Barack Obama again. The last time they saw each other was in 1971 when Lia visited him in Hawaii. She was 14 at the time, and Barry was 10.
When Lia was leaving Hawaii after her 3 month long visit, Madelyn Dunham gave her a monkey doll and clothes that she is holding in her picture. The doll brought back so many fond memories that she was planning to give it to him when they met again.
She stated that she received her invitation to the presidential inauguration in a phone call from a close friend of Maya Soetoro, Barack Obama’s half sister. The translation said that a white woman who wears glasses and who she knows by the name of Gelf asked her to attend Obama’s inauguration. Gelf also asked her to be prepared to meet with Barry before hand. Additionally, Lia was told that a woman of status and means would be paying the Rp600.000 for her birth certificate and travel. After receiving the money, she was told to wait for further news about the final plans. Whether Lia came to the USA to attend the festivities in January, 2008 is unknown.
More information from the article said that Lia stayed at the home of Lolo Soetoro (Obama’s stepfather) and Ann Dunham Soetoro. If I understood the translation, one morning in 1966, Lia, age 7, ran away from home. She ended up at the house owned by Mrs. Siti Bogor. It happened that Mrs. Bogor was a maid who worked for Lolo Soetoro and Stanley Ann Dunham in Jakarta. At some point, Stanley Ann Dunham asked Mrs. Bogor if she could adopt Lia. The answer was yes.
She said she called Lolo and Ann, Mr. and Mrs Lolo Eny. In return, they called Lia ” Non” a nickname for Nona. She said, “I was always called Non, but Barry called me Ma’am Non.” When Lia lived with the Soetoros Maya hadn’t been born yet, and Barry was living with his grandmother in Hawaii.
After living with Lolo and Ann for awhile, “Eny” [Annie] promised to give her a sister who would keep her company. Ann told her, ” Stay well, I’ll pick up your brother Barry.” Two years later, Barry left Hawaii and went to Indonesia to live with Lolo, his mother, and Lia. Lia remembered that Obama was four years younger than she. She said that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 4, 1961. Lia stated that Barry Obama went to school and got a basic education in Jakarta.
According to Lia, she and Barry were always together; they played, slept and bathed together. They traveled on vacations as a family as well. Several times they went to the summit, Yogyakarta, Bali, to the Land of Toraja (Sulawesi South), and the Bogor Botanical Gardens. They loved to travel.
Amazing isn’t it that this adopted sister has remained unknown and not acknowledged as part of Barack Obama’s life story. Her name was never mentioned in his books or by Maya Soetoro-Nyg. As far as we know, it appears Barack Obama didn’t attend his step sister’s funeral in Indonesia. Lia’s family need not feel bad, he nor Michelle or their children didn’t pay their respects to Grandma Madelyn either. Grandma Madelyn was not surrounded by loving family when she departed this earth, and a proper burial ceremony wasn’t performed. God rest their souls.
More facts may be revealed about Lia’s origins and her adoption by the Soetoro family. We are left to wonder what happened to her biological parents and why was she adopted by Lolo and Ann? Why did Lia run away from home? What happened to Lia after Stanley divorced Lolo? Who is Gelf? Who was the wealthy woman that sent money to Lia? Why has she been kept a secret? What caused her death? What secrets did she take to her grave?
Hours prior to her unexpected demise, she was talking to several journalists about Barry’s anticipated arrival to Jakarta, Indonesia. She was sending messages to her husband’s cell phone about those conversations. Unfortunately for her, Lia didn’t live to see Barack Obama, her “adopted, foster” brother, again. Lia died on Friday, February 26, 2010.
Below is the Indonesian to English translation of the article and obituary. Some of the words are incorrect when translated, i.e., Lia is called a brother, and the he and she’s are mixed up, but you certainly will understand it even if a bit confusing.
Obama’s Adopted Sister Foster Brother and Maid? Barry Happiness, Happiness Non Mbak Sriwijaya, Indonesia Post Tuesday, January 20, 2009 U.S. PRESIDENT elected, Barrack Hussein Obama, was once a four-year stay in Indonesia. Although now widely separated by time and place, many Indonesian people who are made happy with the victory of Obama. One of them is Mbak Lia aka Non, foster brother when Obama was in Indonesia. “I call him Barry because it’s hard to say Barrack. So, I call him Barry, “said Lia (51), on Tuesday [Jan. 13] at her home, in Kampung Babakan Bantam, Sukasirna Village, District Cibadak, Sukabumi, West Java.
Lia meeting Barry is a coincidence. One morning in 1966, Lia’s new seven-year-old ran away from home. Lia little confused at being dumped into a house owned by Mrs. Siti Bogor. Apparently, Mrs Siti is a maid in the house the couple Lolo Sutoro and Stanley Ann Dunham in Jakarta. When Mrs Dunham Siti pick to return to Jakarta, he asked Allie to be adopted.
Two years after Allie to be adopted Sutoro and Dunham, Sutoro pick Barry from the U.S.. At that time, Sutoro become a manager at PT Pertamina. At first, Lia pleased that means it will have a friend and foster sister. ” “We met, I said to my mother, I am not happy that a black child and could not speak Indonesian,” said Lia.
Mrs Dunham convince Lia that Barry would be a nice sister. After obtaining Indonesian tutoring for seven months, Barry began to communicate with Lia and Siti who are called by Simbok.
Barry called Mbak Lia with a call girl, followed her mother calls. There are many memories in the mind of Barry Lia about the figure. . One of the unforgettable memories that Lia is a hobby Barry’s speech.
Barry very happy listening to Suharto’s speeches on television. “When President Suharto’s speech, Barry wrote it down neatly. After that, he practiced the speech of President Suharto in front of the house, “says Lia.
One time, Barry was President Suharto‘s speech mimicked in an event several times declared Indonesia as a country that Gemah Ripah jinawi loh. ” “He’s very difficult to spell those words, but to impose that sounds funny,” says Lia.
At home, Barry and Lee shared a bedroom, but different beds. Barry and Lia always wanting to sleep and wake up together. When Lia got up earlier and leave Barry, he would be furious. ” “After that, he then tied my hands and arms with a long rope. If one woke up, only allowed to leave the room when he woke the others,” says Lia.
In 1971, Barry returned to Hawaii. Lia joined him and got three months in Hawaii before returning to Indonesia. In Hawaii, Lia often invited Barry to go to the beach or to go shopping. Lia sad when parting with Barry.
By the inauguration of Obama, Lia received notification will be invited by a member of Obama’s successful team. However, until now there is no certainty. Despite claiming she’d love to meet with his adopted brother, Lia chose her desire to bury deep. Lia was glad her sister is black, filthy, and often annoying it becomes U.S. President.
Raise the U.S. President’s brother dies Friday, 02/26/2010 - 14:26
SUKABUMI, (PRLM) .- The desire Mrs. Holiyah (53) residents of Kampung Babakan Bantam, Village Sukasirna, Cibadak District, Sukabumi Regency wanted to meet the President of the United States (U.S.), Barrack Hussein Obama is disappeared. Holiyah Soetoro often called Lia, Thursday (25 / 2) died shortly before sunset.
Bodies of mother who has three children and four grandchildren, the Friday (26 / 2) is buried not far from his home. Seen her husband, Ibn [Edi] Sobah not withstand the power of compassion as Lia’s body was buried.
Lia’s death which was judged very suddenly hit her feelings. Several hours before her death her husband, [Edi] Ibn Sobah could receive short messages via his mobile telephone. He was interviewed a number of journalists inform the related plan of the arrival of his adopted brother, Barrack Obama to Jakarta.
“He was very nostalgic to see Barry (Lia’s favorite call to Barack Obama — ed). The news of U.S. President’s arrival plans, had welcomed the coming months the deceased. But what say he died before seeing his adoptive brother, “said suamiya, Ibn Sobah.
In the pic of him putting a flower in her hair, he has a tan (?) line on his neck. Maybe from long hours on the golf course or makeup.
>>Does he darken his face? Look how white his legs are compared to his kid’s<<
Because he is more white and Arab then black. The kids get their color from their mother.

Here's a pic that Fred directed me to a while back. Mark identifies himself as the little boy on the right and the boy on the left as his brother David Now, go check out the usurper's toddler pics...
Yes. Died “unexpectedly” in 1910! Oh, the humanity! Another reason people don’t take birthers seriously.
Frankly, I don’t believe he’s descended from Kenyans. Look at his lips and compare them to the lips of someone who is half Kenyan and half Dutch, for instance. Also, his pigmentation is far too light for his DNA to be half Kenyan Luo tribe. But that’s just my opinion, the black kid who went to the same High School as SAD couldn’t possibly be his father, right?
Remember when he suddenly left the campaign trail to visit her? The msm was all over the story and tugging at heartstrings saying this would probably be the last time he’d see her, blah, blah, blah. Last time? Really? Over a broken hip which she was only in the hospital for for 3 days and had been back home for a week? Or was it to celebrate her 86th birthday that Sunday? Or was it because she was gravely ill? Come on msm, pick one and stick with it!
Yet, he didn’t bring MO or the grandkids for the birthday party or to see their great grandmother for the last time???
As opposed to ABC which stated he spent most of the day with her, one of the local newspapers did a detailed timeline of his visit with down to the minute of when and where he went. In that article (it’s around FR somewhere) it stated the time his limo arrived at typical white granny’s apartment to when it left to take him to the golf course was 45 minute. Forty-five minutes to see, for the very last time, the woman who raised him!!! And part of those 45 minutes was used up walking from the limo, going up the stairs, down the hall to the apartment, checking out his hair, and talking to Maya.
There are rumors that granny was already dead when he arrived and the ever so convenient death announcement THE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION was a well planned calculated lie to garner more votes. If she was already dead, then the unexpected trip to her in October and not being hindered with MO and the girls along with being in her apartment only 45 minutes makes sense. How long does it take to grab from granny’s closet a bundle of papers containing his original birth certificate, vacination record, newspaper articles, and other identifying papers Ayers wrote about in Dreams?
Ever hear of a wake or visitation? No. There’s been NOTHING mentioned of her brother coming. There’s been NOTHING of friends and neighbors paying their respects.
Ever hear of a funeral? No, just a private family scattering of ashes much later and still not a word about her friends. It’s just like no one at college remembers ever knowing Hussein in college. Where are these people’s friends, neighbors, and aquaintences?
I wonder, could Lia have been the person who accompanied Barry to Hawaii when he was a child? She would have been an older child by how many years?
That was the one, on which people were discussing if that line was a scar.
Sometimes photos have been reversed, but considering what side of the car he’s getting out of, probably is his right leg.
Also, he wears his watch on his left wrist.
Rabid, that was a typo, which has been explained already. Lia, Obama’s adopted sister, died in 2010, not 1910.
I’m so glad my VERY RED FACE can’t be seen. You’re right...I am wrong. Don’t even ask how I came to that conclusion because I don’t have an answer.
The only thing I know for sure is that whoever is occupying the White House does not belong there.
I’ll now resume “reading” and “thinking things through” before I speak again.
I have a good friend whose mother was a white American and whose father was a black West African.
She is much darker than 0thugga.
You know what, I wouldn’t and shouldn’t be the least astonished if it were revealed that Abu Bama is the lost son of bin Laden.
I kid you not!
This is a ghost of a person with no available footprint for almost 50 years.
Gee, maybe he’s 60+ years old who’s on youth elixir!
1910???
Reminds me of panty-less female celebrities caught stepping out of cars.
Maybe a series of pictures taken seconds after this one will reveal 0b0z0’s real anatomy!
Look at his head in comparison to the window. Even considering he’s bending over, he looks the size of a four year old who barely can see out the door. Why is every picture of him so bizarre?
There does seem to be a scar or something running down his calf. I still want to know about the scar-looking marks on his head. Just what is this guy’s history?
That could be because he's left handed. Notice, too, that for all his supposed smarts, he hasn't learned to turn the paper he's signing to a 1:00 heading so he doesn't have to do that awkward upside down lefty writing thing. FYI, for all you lefties or if you have lefty kids, look at how your paper is placed when you're writing. The top is usually angled at 11:00 which makes it easy for a righty. That just ain't gonna work for a lefty. Turn it to a 1:00 angle and the upside down twisty wrist thing is solved!
My grandfather, who was right handed, wore his watch on his left hand and facing down rather than on top of his wrist (to read it upright) because of his job. It was something to do with his right hand working keys and such so it was easier to time things with his left hand.
...nothing would surprise me either, not even that!
Don't feel bad, that's simply what you were expected to believe...in every image I have seen of Mark, they only showed him full face, not profile, and lightened his skin tone. This one slipped through the net and shows us Mark as he really is.
