“Lia”Obama’s Adopted Sister
WTPOTUS ^ | August 7, 2010 | Bridgette

Posted on 08/07/2010 9:33:54 AM PDT by Leza2

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

>>>>Barack Obama grandmother’s death, Madelyn Dunham died on October 21, 2008?, Death announced on November 3, 2008, Hawaii officials falsify?, Funeral home records sought, Barack Obama and Maya Ng lie?, Coroner’s office sources<<<<

Did Barack Obama conspire to fool the American public and
delay announcement of his grandmother’s death until November 3,
the day before the election? Larry Sinclair called the Dunham
residence on October 24, 2008 and called me soon after. This
might seem implausible, however, given Obama’s past of
consistent lies and deception, nothing would surprise me.

“On Friday October 24, 2008 I placed two calls to the home of
Madelyn Dunham, in one of those calls I spoke with Obama
half-sister Maya Ng where Maya claimed Mrs. Dunham could not talk.”

Recently Larry Sinclair contacted me to let me know that he had
reason to believe that Madelyn Dunham, Obama’s grandmother had
actually died prior to November 3, 2008.

Larry Sinclair breaks the news

“OBAMA, HALF-SISTER & HAWAII OFFICALS FALSIFY MADELYN DUNHAM DEATH RECORDS!

On October 21, 2008 Barack Obama announced that he would be suspending his
campaign after a rally in Indianapolis on Thursday morning, October 23,
2008 to fly to Hawaii to visit with his “gravely ill grandmother.” Barack
Obama further stated that Madelyn L. Dunham had recently been hospitalized
and was back at home after suffering a broken hip.

Obama made it clear on October 22, 2008 that there “will be absolutely no video or photo ops during my upcoming visit with my ailing grandmother,” and “I do not expect
my grandmother to make it to election day.”

On Friday October 24, 2008 Michelle Obama during a campaign rally for her husband claimed that “I spoke with tutu last night and she is strong and
in good health.”

On Friday October 24, 2008 I placed two calls to the home of Madelyn Dunham,
in one of those calls I spoke with Obama half-sister Maya Ng

http://larrysinclair-0926.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-just-spoke-with-senator-obamas-sister.html

where Maya claimed Mrs. Dunham could not talk.

On November 3, 2008 both the news media and Barack Obama announced that
Madelyn L. Dunham had passed away on that date. Mrs. Dunham was to have celebrated her 89th birthday on the Sunday following Barack Obama’s visit,
yet no one, not even Barack Obama stopped to wish his “gravely ill” grandmother a Happy Birthday.

After first announcing that Madelyn Dunham had passed away in her sleep
on November 3, 2008 (conveniently the day before election day for the
sympathy vote) it was reported by Hawaii officials and then by Obama
half-sister Maya Ng that Mrs. Dunham had in fact passed away on November
2, 2008.

Both reports it turns out are false and it has been reported that
Maya Ng and Hawaii officials knowingly and intentionally falsified death
records of Madelyn L. Dunham who had actually died prior to Barack Obama
arriving on Thursday October 23, 2008 for his claimed visit.

According to sources employed in the coroner’s office Madelyn Dunham died
on October 21, 2008 and was cremated on Friday October 24, 2008. It is
further claimed that the death records of Madelyn L Dunham were falsified
at the direct and specific request of Barack Obama and Maya Ng.

I have forwarded a letter to the Hawaii Attorney Generals office requesting
and investigation and forwarded the information received regarding the
falsifying of the death and cremation records of Madelyn L Dunham.

If this
information is factual Barack Obama has demonstrated his total disregard
for any life, including the life of the woman who made it possible for him
to be a spoiled, drug using, closet bi/gay fraud. Furthermore the fact that
Michelle Obama knew and assisted in concealing this fraud along with the US
Secret Service assigned to protect Barack Obama makes them conspirators to
this crime.

Today Barack Obama participated in the scattering of the ashes of Madelyn
L Dunham who he used and exploited.

I have one thing to say Barack, not everyone is willing to cover for your
lies and crimes. Now lets see if the Hawaii Attorney General is willing to
do their job or if that office is going to simply look the other way.”

Larry Sinclair update

“I do however stand by the post as being factual and truthful and the
individual who contacted me is believed to be employed by the Funeral Home
who took the Body of Madelyn Dunham from her residence after her death.

Madelyn Dunham according to sources was released from the hospital and sent
home at the specific request of Barack Obama and Maya Ng. Now people can
continue to accuse me of “making sxxx up” all they want, but let me make
one thing perfectly clear. I ask questions and obtain names and contact
information from every single person who contacts me with claims about

Barack Obama. With the amount of claims that have been made to me I have
published/reported a number that can be counted on one hand.
Lets look at something here. To specifically request that Madelyn Dunham
be released from the hospital as reported makes it very easy for Barack
Obama and Maya Ng to do exactly what has been alleged. Dying in the hospital
would establish a series of records certified and witness by many. Dying at
home drastically reduces the number of people involved in the death records.
I believe the information provided last night and I am in the process of
contacting the owners of the funeral home that is accused of falsifying the
death records of Madelyn L. Dunham.
The source of this information provided verifiable information and contact
information.”

“All of the news leading up to Madelyn Dunham’s death seemed suspect. Obama’a
comments and reactions did not seem like those of a normal, caring person.
Do I believe this story?
I will wait and let it play out.
However, given Obama’s past performance and history of lies and deception,
it would not surprise me at all.”

Obama further stated that Madelyn L. Dunham had recently been hospitalized and was back at home after suffering a broken hip.

It was also reported that granny had cancer. And why would Larry Sinclair be talking to Maya about granny? Were they really that close? As usual, we end up with more questions because we were never told the truth about anything in the first place. For all we know, granny could still be alive.

We don't know for sure whether SAD passed away. Someone discovered NYC apartments in her name, using her social security number.

Just putting this out there in case someone doesn’t know. The good grandson’s timeline reported by the HA local newspaper the day he visited his sick/dead “typical white woman” grandmother showed he spent all of 35 minutes (iirc) inside the apartment and then went to the golf course. Moo and the girls didn’t go say goodbye to her. There’s always been questions on what day she really died.

22. Holiyah Soetoro Sobah, aka Lia Soetoro - Obama’s adopted sister. She died under mysterious, sudden, and unusual circumstances just as she was getting ready to be reunited with her childhood companion and adopted brother.

She spoke of many specific incidences in the household where she grew up with “Barry” in Indonesia.
She saved many items that Barry used during childhood. She was looking forward to seeing him because she had seen him on TV and was told that was “Barry”, her little brother.

However, Lia had reservations about it and so was anticipating seeing the scars he had from falling out of the mango tree and the limp she said he walked with. That was not to be because she died.
