The biggest weakness in your theory is the, ‘This can only mean one thing,’ fallacy. For example, you point to Stanley Ann’s senior photo and claim, because no other faces are fully visible/recognizable, that it cannot be her actual photo from the Mercer Island HS yearbook. This is invalid reasoning at best.

Here is a possible explanation for that image. The students whose photos bordered SA’s were contacted and asked if they minded having their pictures posted online. *At least* one person objected, and the image was cropped accordingly.

Here is an even likelier scenario. Whoever wanted to post SA’s senior yearbook photo didn’t want to bother contacting anyone. They also didn’t want to deal with anyone who might object to having their picture posted online. So they cropped the photo accordingly.

You don’t have to have to agree to either of these scenarios. [The second seems blindingly obvious to me, but I know you’ll reject it out of hand.] However, the mere fact that either could be true invalidates your explanation.

Iow, you can’t prove that your theory of the photo is the only possible explanation. As long as there are other reasonable—if not overwhelmingly likely—explanations, yours proves nothing.

Same with Toutonghi. The most likely explanation is a flaky memory. Given the time lapse, that’s the overwhelmingly odds on favorite reason her memory is imprecise.

Making such a huge deal out of Toutonghi’s inconsistencies goes back to the, ‘This can only mean one thing,’ pitfall. As long as another perfectly reasonable explanation exists, your theory is simply inconclusive.

Probably true. So let's leave her out of it. That still leaves the fact that no one saw Stanley Ann in Hawaii, other than Neil Abercrombie who said he saw the Kenyan with 'Ann' and the baby on social occasions, and Kiri Tith who said he knew Ann or Anne but had no idea she had married or had a child to the Kenyan. The 'Anne USA' shown at the Nachmannof gathering wasn't Stanley Ann Dunham, and neither was the girl he had his arm around in that famous image 'on the dock' where Stanley Armour Dunham also makes an appearance. There are literally hundreds of anomalies that don't square with the fairy tale of 'Dreams' - but as I wrote, I'm no longer as zealous as I once was - and haven't the motive, as an Australian, to go through them all again, so rest easy. You want Stanley Ann Dunham to be the mother. That's your prerogative. But to have that, you have to ignore much of what to me, seems very obvious.

She didn't show up in Hawaii until she changed her name to Ann Dunham Obama with Social Security in January 1963, and brought with her a little boy she's seen holding while he's sitting on a fence somewhere. Her life between the last image of her in the Mercer Island high school record stops after late 1959 and starts again with the images of her with a toddler in Hawaii - when Stanley Armour also took the boy to the beach.

That's all they had to show you where she was. The letter from the University of Hawaii assumes you will accept Stanley Ann Dunham enrolled for Fall of 1960. There's nothing there to show they didn't pull up a record for the student named Ann S Obama and led you to believe the enrolment was for Stanley Ann. And that's about as far as I want to go with this. As long as people cling to the Stanley Ann as mother myth, there's no progress possible. It remains a brilliant strategy to give a child a background and family.

She HAD TO be at Mercer Island High School until the summer of 1960, she HAD TO accompany at least one of her parents to Hawaii in 1960 'after graduation' because she HAD TO be enrolled at the university for FALL 1960, because she HAD TO meet the Kenyan 'in a Russian Class' so that she could 'marry him' and become pregnant...but mothers are sacrosanct, and the author of 'Dreams' did his job well. He wove, he blended, he looked at the true story that he was given, and presented a fairy tale. And for that to succeed, everything possible to be concealed was concealed.

From The Obama File:

Obama has lived for almost 50 years without leaving any footprints -- none! There is no Obama documentation -- no bona fides -- no paper trail -- nothing.
