Have you noticed there’s been no mention of FMD and Stanley Armour’s acquaintance until the boy supposedly returned from Indonesia in what we are told was in 1970/71?
Why would they have only met then? They might well have been acquainted years before then...so imagine, FMD knows the Dunhams, (and thanks to someone whose name I won’t mention, we also know now that FMD did live in Honolulu...while working at The Record) FMD knows the Dunhams well enough to know their daughter is studying and working part time as an au pair in Chicago, FMD also has jouralist certification which allows him access to the union-run printing works on the island, how easy for FMD who knows the loopholes, to place an advertisiment in the local papers...he could maybe do that in the print-shop by removing someone else’s name? Who the heck would know?
Are there any printers on board here who could tell us if that was possible?
And silly Stanley Armour and Madelyn go along with it, after all, they are progressives, and it’s all in a good cause. The Road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions.
And the key to it all is of course, the kenyan and HIS friendship with Neil Abercrombie, who attended the U of HI at the same time...there’s never been any indication that HE knew Frank Marshall Davis either, although he’s shown giving a lecture to a couple of hundred union members in a park in Hawaii...
Hush my mouth. They’ll call me a subversive, sarc.
With today’s print technology it would not be hard at all to tamper with newspaper copy.
However, in 1961, printers were still using hot type and linotype machines. They would have had to bribe a linotype operator to insert the material — not something a novice could do. I suppose that would be a possibility, but it seems unlikely.
Considering what we know of Hawaii’s lax record-keeping, it would have been much easier just to record the birth with the proper authorities, tell them whatever manufactured tale you wanted them to know, and make it part of the official record.
