Photo Documents Barry Soetoro: Indonesian Citizen, Muslim Religion
We just received this photo of a school registration form, courtesy of reader “curious,” taken by Tatan Syuflana, an Indonesian AP reporter and photographer. To my knowledge, the AP has not written a story about this . [revision: There was an AP story story in Jan. 2007, but it did not include this photo]. The photo has become relevant now in the context of other revelations reported on this blog. Here is the AP folder where Syuflana’s photo was found: www.daylife.com.
The AP caption reads: “This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro into the Catholic school made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. The document lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen, born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, and shows his Muslim step-father listed the boy’s religion as Islam. (AP Photo/ Tatan Syuflana)”
UPDATE 8/14/08 10:00 AM ET: Matthew over at the blog Changeandexperience did some verification:
A quick search through Google reveals that there is an actual Associated Press photographer by the name Tatan Syuflana. It appears that this photographer specializes in the Indonesian region of the world. The above photo which is hosted on Daylife.com was uploaded about 18 months ago. The upload timeframe would have been around February 14, 2007 about 2 or so weeks after the document was released according to the photo caption from Daylife.com that states that the document was made available on January 24, 2007.
The date of January 24, 2007 was about the time that FOX news incorrectly reported that the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta was a madrassa. The school itself is NOT in question. What IS in question is Barack Obama’s identity, whether or not his name is legally ‘Barry Soetero’; whether or not if he was adopted by Lolo Soetero, whether or not if he retains Indonesian citizenship …
Samples of Tatan Syuflan’s work appears in common news websites such as CBS, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Time magazine. What is still mysterious is that the photo of the registration document appears to have been scrubbed. In depth research finds that any site related to the Associated Press does not feature it on their site. If it did, it appeared briefly. The actual document itself is eluded to in various articles, find out more below.
What It Means
This AP photo is compelling evidence of the following assertions, which have been set forth on this blog:
1. Barack Obama had Indonesian citizenship
2. Barack Obama had the legal name Barry Soetoro
3. Barack Obama was a Muslim, despite his “fight the smears” claim that he never has been. (see new story that we just posted on this topic).
In addition, it means that Barack Obama apparently lied to the Illinois Supreme Court when asked to provide former names, according to this Attorney’s Registration Record:
When was Barack Obama going to tell the electorate about his Indonesian identity and citizenship?
What is the current status of his Indonesian citizenship?
Did Barack Obama travel to Pakistan in 1981 on an Indonesian passport?
Does his birth certificate say Barry Soetoro?
Did he ever legally change his name from Soetoro to Obama?
Is the correct name on the ballot?
UPDATE 8/14/08 12:35 AM ET: The Indonesian school registration form has been translated by the changeandexperience blog, where they continue to provide cleaner updates:
The MSM isn’t interested.
The sheeple will never know.
The chosen One has been selected, and will be elected.
Hey, check this out!
Has Barry raised Gwatney from the dead yet?
L.I.B. Bump to Top.
“Has Barry raised Gwatney from the dead yet?”
He could if he wanted to! :P At least that’s what the MSM has told me.
Just a thought...weren't BHO's US passport records hacked a while back?
So. It's Barry and Michelle Soretoe.
Why yes, yes they where.

Beats me, you are the first person I know of who says Sorento. However the Soetero name was his first step fathers name.
Sorry, my bad...
Will somebody please forward this to Hilary Rodham Clinton? This is HUGE!!
If he is an Indonesian citizen, he can not be President.
Paging Hilary. Paging Hilary.
1. I am not very interested either. What is written on some school document in a third world country does not make it necessarily legally so in the US concerning his name nor citizenship. And religion is a matter of his choice as an adult. The real issue is did he not his parent ever claim to be a citizen of another country etc.
2. The sheeple know enough about him.
3. He will lose and maybe in a landslide.
I thought that a state department trainee looked up his, Hilary and McCain’s as a “fun experiment”
I emphasize IF TRUE because we all may be being played here.
If Clinton “steals” the nomination from the chosen one of the Black/Negro/Colored race — the riots in Denver will be just the beginning of riots nationwide and Civil War II in the cities.
