You’ve brought up excellent points (as always). The main point that so many miss is that: NOTHING FITS!! There is not one “narrative” that fits the facts that are known. SOmething always has to be jettisoned in order to cram the current “theory” of Steaming’s actual life into whichever theory people believe in.
Again, as always, the best method is to stick ONLY to what is known, and possibly what can be solidly as possible inferred from those known facts, and jettison the beliefs that do not fit.
This way the real unknowns are made clear, and no false assumptions made. His parentage IS NOT PUBLICALLY KNOWN! It is obvious the Kenyan 0bama is not the father, and to anyone who has even paid a bit of attention to some of the reserach on this site, it is clear that SAD is not the mother.
You’d think more people would be asking “Well, who the hell is he???? Where did he come from?”
For example:
Where was that 'graduation' photograph of Stanley Ann Dunham taken? Why was the page with her image cropped so that the other students on that page cannot be recognized?
Why has no one come forward with a 1960 yearbook from Mercer Island high School? Are none of the students who were on that page with her still alive? The school says their copies of the 1960 yearbooks were stolen...
Her Uncle, Charles T Payne was deputy director of the library at the University of Chicago...is that where she was, and is that why we can't find her at Mercer Island High school, other than a few small groups (french club) for example, into which she might easily have been inserted?
She visits Susan Blake with a child about three weeks old, and doesn't know how to change a diaper. Might that have been because it wasn't her child? Susan says she borrowed a car from a friend of her mother: who was that friend and when was that? She tells Susan she's madly in love with a black man from Kenya. But no one has seen her in Hawaii. (But there is a photograph of the Kenyan at a social gathering at the Nachmannof's in the 'early sixties' and sitting next to him is a girl identified as ANNE/USA. She's not Stanley Ann Dunham)
And meanwhile, Mary is baby-sitting a seven month old for Anna Obama in the boarding house where Anna Obama is listed in the Polk for 1961.
We first see the boy with SAD when he's about two years old. Might that be because she never had her photograph taken with the child she cared for as an au pair? (Nanny?)
What was she doing (if it was her) holding what looks like a five or six month old in a photograph that was shown on page 18 of the publication 'Muhammad Speaks' and when was that photograph taken?
Just ask any one of these questions to start with...and it's down-hill all the way for the myth from then on...because the obvious conclusion seems to be - there was an Ann Obama in Hawaii, an Anna Obama in Seattle with a child in January 1961, and she wasn't Stanley Ann Dunham.
But we do have a photograph of the two little boys and one just happens to look like his father would have been the kenyan student, and the other is definitely zero. (Now cometh the resident critic to tell you the boys are Mark and David Ndesandjo, but take my word for it, they are NEITHER MARK NOR DAVID. And that's why Mark removed the photograph from his webpage, after he tampered with it, trying to change their appearance and colour.
Trust no-one, believe nothing. Don't even believe me. Just keeping asking questions.
And one of the questions to ask might be, is that the Barack Hussein Obama 11 on the right, who is shown on the birth index for Hawaii which appears to be for 1960-1964...although it's the only index folder from the HDOH at the library from which the date range has been removed?
