The Obama Lie That Drove the Birther Movement
American Thinker ^ | April 28, 2011 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 04/29/2011 2:10:49 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Newly released documents from Barack Obama Sr.'s immigration file, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, justify "birther" doubts about the nativity story on which Barack Obama based his presidential campaign.

The documents were posted Thursday in an article by Heather Smathers on the Arizona Independent web site. When I checked with Brian Wedemeyer, the Independent's managing editor, he confirmed, "They are legitimate documents."

A memo dated Aug. 31, 1961, from William Wood of the Immigration and Naturalization Services, does verify that Barack Obama, Sr. fathered a son, Barack Obama II, who was born in Honolulu on Aug, 4, 1961. For the record, most birthers of my acquaintance believe that Obama was born in the United States. That is not their issue.

Wood adds, however, that the child is "living with mother (she lives with her parents & subject resides at 1482 Alencastre St.)." He adds that Obama's citizen spouse plans "to go to Washington State University next semester."

This document thoroughly undermines the Obama nativity story, a story that has been told almost as often as Jesus's but with nowhere near the accuracy. Obama led with it in his 2004 convention speech and repeated it in the first sentence of his 2008 speech.

Friendly biographer David Remnick describes this story as Obama's "signature appeal: the use of the details of his own life as a reflection of a kind of multicultural ideal," and he underscores its essential role in Obama's ascendancy.

As Obama told the story in 2004, his father had grown up in Kenya "herding goats." His mother he traced to Kansas, as he always did. "My parents shared not only an improbable love," Obama continued, "they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation."

Have you tried scanning security paper onto security paper? That’s what it looks like to me.

the immigration file paints a picture of a free loading penniless skirt chasing bigamist grifter, brought to America by some Unitarian group, clawing his way to visa renewals year by year for 4 years while on a constant booty quest

who needed another extension to stay in Hawaii- in 1961
and who got it

by an arranged “marriage” by fellow unitarians and travelers the Dunhams- via a sham marriage to Ann
Who was ostensibly preggers - or someone was pregger with a biracial baby and needed a cover story

but not necessariy with a baby fathered by obama Sr

This all smells like immigration fraud, not abiding love

the African (who claims British citizenship in his papers) got his 1 yr visa extension to stay in Hawaii in August 1961. Ann left Hawaii for Washington state the same month, with an infant?

and no, the addresses do not match what Toot posted in the the newspaper birth announcement I suppose the "good news" if any is that it is not possible to see how or why the penniless horndog obama sr traveled to kenya in 1961

Those documents are very revealing! Just look at the groups that were providing Obama SR.’s scholarship money?

Koinonia Foundation (baltimore) , not the current Koinonia

Stokes Phelps Foundation

Frank Laubach...this one is interesting

Unitarian Church

We are starting to get a clear picture here..............

the unitarian connection may be what ties obama sr to the Dunhams in Hawaii, they were part of the unitarian church in Hawaii

also fellow “travelers” (communist sympathizers)

It looks like the officials in Hawaii loaded some of their official green safety paper into the paper tray when they made the photocopy of the original. The certification at the bottom appears to be made directly on the green paper.

Maybe the people who were tasked with creating the false birth certificates are patriots, and this is their way of exposing Obama.

I have the same thoughts. Flying back and forth to the islands was very costly at the time. I would guess Honolulu to Seattle would of been $500 for coach. That would be like $3,000 today. Looked but could not find exact prices on the net. Some info about flights in the mainland.

That would be over a month's salary for most people in 1961.

yes, thanks for the Unitarian connection. that may be exactly the “Drug House” that was coming through in my impression of what seemed to be going on.

It is interesting to note that the Unitarians were going through a big consolidation that happened in... 1961

It is also interesting to note that they had affilliated organizations in... the Phillipines and Pakistan...

I’m digging through some of this at:

Who was supposed to be living at the address mentioned in the article?

1482 Alencastre St.

I zillowed it and found it was built in 1947, is a four bedroom, three bath home in the Hawaii Dept Of Education School District.

Was somebody making reference TO SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS THAT HAPPENED IN SEMLA ALABAMA ??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarian_Universalism

“UU’s were and are still very involved in the fight to end racism in the United States. John Haynes Holmes, a Unitarian minister and social activist at The Community Church of New York—Unitarian Universalist was among the founders of both the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909 and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), chairing the latter for a time. James J. Reeb, a minister at All Souls Church, Unitarian, in Washington, D.C. and a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, was clubbed in Selma, Alabama on March 8, 1965, and died two days later of massive head trauma. Two weeks after his death, Viola Liuzzo, a Unitarian Universalist civil rights activist, was murdered by white supremacists after her participation in the protest march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. The Selma to Montgomery marches for voting rights are best known as Bloody Sunday, although technically that refers only to March 7, the most violent day of the three.”

so... Obammie’s Mommie was a CIA operative that slipped into the Unitarian church, went to Selma, took the knowlege of what the Unitarians were going to do with their march over to the Skinheads with the hopes of creating a conflict that would make the Unitarians look bad, but one of the skinheads got in a lucky blow and killed a guy, which flipped the whole operation and public opinion the opposite way than was intended? really? can her whereabouts on that weekend be nailed down? was Barry with her? thats a pretty wild thing to imagine isn’t it? what IS he hiding?

Louis: “Ann was a minor living with her parents. The 26 yr old Barack committed statutory rape, abandoned the woman he impregnanted shortly after they consummated the sex with a certificate (so as to avoid rape charges) and never looked back.
This is the American dream in which culture?”


You also have to question whether Barak Sr. had an intent to become a naturalized US citizen by marrying SAD. In other words, a marriage of convenience (Obama Sr. only, of course).

What does anyone expect to accomplish by exposing the sins of Obama’s dead parents?

On Oprah Obama said that he remembered his birth in Hawaii. HE WAS JOKING. His stories of how his parents met and of his first years are based on what his mother and his maternal grandparents told him. If they left out the worst of it, so what?

No doubt a marriage of convenience, but convenience for whom?

For Ann Dunham. The Birth Certificate is only a document,wih information on it given to them by those who represented themselves as parents.

It would not be the first time a Birth certofocate contained the name of someone other than the real father.

It would take a DNA test for me to be convinced that Obama is the son of Barrack Obama Sr. and not Frank Davis, Malcolm X or any other communist, racist, black she associated with.

She wasn’t exactly as pure as the driven snow.

I find the Unitarian (read commie front) connection fascinating. Thank you.

The abiding love that crossed cultures, aided by the revered Kennedy and Brought on by Selma, was actually:

Underage anarchist teen attends college early, immediately spreads ‘em for the adult playboy African who’d been in town years longer than she, immediately gets knocked up, and there is either some Hawaiian tribal sham marriage or none at all, and they never shared a home, not for longer than it took to conceive the baby.
