FWIW, it was well known in the 90s that Hawaii, only becoming a state in 1959, had a very significant black market in ‘legal documents’. Every ‘profession’ had a black market for licensure for the local Hawaiians.
Once established over 30 years, even birth certificates were easily marketed.
btw, the link leads to a fascinating article about the background of Edward Said. Excerpt:
Said made an interesting claim while speaking at a Palestinian university, alleging that Martin Buber, arguably the greatest moral philosopher of the 20th century, lived in the house from which his family had fled. The “great apostle of coexistence between Arabs and Jews”, he bitterly remarked, “didn’t mind living in an Arab house whose inhabitants had been displaced”. Powerful stuff, but the real story is much more interesting. Martin Buber and his family, all refugees from Nazi Germany, did indeed move into the ground-floor and basement of the house in Talbiya in 1938. However, Said’s aunt Nabiha Yusef evicted the Bubers in 1942. This memorable event took place when Edward Said insisted he was growing up in the same house. The Bubers claimed Mrs. Yusef broke the lease and contested the eviction in court. Once again, Said forgets all about it. Buber’s granddaughters have testified that they remember Said’s aunt and her children, but not little Edward and his four sisters. Probably because he just wasn’t there...
(good article, well worth the time to read)
Sven’s post:
“...For example,the Obama’s were in DC in 1993 when Michelle accepted an award presented to her by First Lady Hillary Clinton in the Rose Garden. Here’s a photo of the Obama’s attending a post-ceremony dinner in DC....”
Reply by Brown Deer:
“Not true,that photo was taken in 1998 at an Arab dinner/event in Chicago. They were sitting at a table with Edward Wadie Saïd and his wife. The Clintons were not in attendance.”
Brown Deer, Fred Nerks
Many thanks BrownDeer for that information and FredNerks for that picture!
SvenMagnussen,
Can you explain the discrepancy in the location and year of this meeting between the Obama’s and the Said’s?
Could you answer the “where”, “when”, and “why” questions concerning this supposed CLN that I asked in post #294 upthread?
SvenMagnussen,
Also can you answer my questions in post #315 (copied below) concerning at what office was this supposed CLN seen:
“To: SvenMagnussen; Lady Jag; butterdezillion; LucyT
“As a matter of policy,the State Department provides a copy of all CLNs issued to the IRS,FBI,DHS,and Secret Service.
Numerous action alerts were announced throughout secure networks when a background investigation on a guy named Obama,who had been issued a CLN in 1968,would be in attendance at an award ceremony with First Lady Hillary Clinton in the Rose Garden of the White House in 1993.
The paper trail is hiding in plain site.”
Sven,
Where did you see his CLN?
At which office,IRS,FBI,DHS,or Secret Service?
Butterdezillion,LucyT,Lady Jag
Pinging y’all to this post.
