Thanks for the links. No one in Kenya has objected to Barry’s Muslim half-brother, Malik, and Barry’s Jewish half-brother, Mark both claiming that David existed. Both Malik and Mark have posted pictures of David on their own web pages.
I suspect that Mark has been following the Mal-Val cult claims on Free Republic, which he would have seen if he had searched his name on the web, and he may have directly intended to refute Mal-Val by placing his own adult picture on the front cover of his book. Mark has squeezed his adult picture as close as possible to his picture circa age 9 next sitting next to David circa age 6.
The new book cover picture of the two brothers shows normal aging of both boys from the prior family picture and studio pictures circa 1970 when they were circa age 5 and 2.
In the 1970 family picture, Ruth is lovingly cupping Mark’s face in her hand while holding an obviously maternally-bonded David in her arms.
The Mal-Val cult would have us believe that the 1970 family shot and the studio pictures were of two entirely different boys named Roman Obama and Barry and was taken in Boston in 1964 right before BHO Sr. and Ruth left for Kenya. Also on the cover of Mark’s new book is a circa early 1965 picture of his mom, the party girl, obviously younger less matronly as Rush in the circa 1970 picture...that Mal-Val cult says was from 1964.
The Mal-Val cultists also claim that the two boys are only about 6 months apart, when anyone who has had sons can see they are about 3 years apart, as were Mark and David.
I suspect that these claims enraged Mark and to show that he is the “darker boy” and not the unrelated “Roman Obama of Moscow” in 1980, Mark showed his adult face right next to his childhood face circa 1974 with the obvious gradual aging from the circa 1970 pictures.
The fact that David has aged normally from the circa 1970 photo to the circa 1974 photo and is still in Kenya refutes any claims that it is Barry and not David in the studio pictures of the two boys published so often in eligibility threads by Mal-Val cultists.
Slam dunk for Mark against the Mal-Val Cult!
Only one problem with that - the dark boy isn't Mark. Funny how little space one needs to write the truth.
That is excellent analysis. Thank you.
It really is an interesting choice of images for Mark to use. Maybe you’re right, and he picked it because the younger boy is (1) so obviously David, and (2) so obviously not anybody else.
I can’t add anything to your comments on the age of those involved. There is definitely a two to three yr difference between the ages of the boys. I never realized the Mal-Valers claimed it was only a few mos. Not even close to the right ballpark.
Btw, is it generally known that in 2010 Roman Obama was appointed to the Washington DC embassy for Equatorial Guinea? He remains there to this day:

Try coming straight to the point:
You are using an image of two young boys which appeared on a book cover - but you have no way of knowing who they are, because they are not identified. You are using an image of UNIDENTIFIED children in your rebuttal. How does that work?
I’m sure you can use a lot less words if you try.
