That hand is so fake looking. I don’t see a reason to fake this pic but that hand is seriously weird.

Interesting photograph, but I’ve always had a sense that it shows the boy and Stanley Armour meeting Stanley Ann Dunham and Maya when they finally showed up from Indonesia in 1971-1972 after zero had been attending grade five at Punahua, and what you see under zero’s arm is a pocket-book of some kind - because no one would hold a child around the chest with a fist.

For at least 10 years now, Photoshop has had a plugin that allows you to change a light source not shown. It also changes the resultant shadows.

It is pretty neat looking, like you are looking through a camera lens at your picture, and somebody behind you is moving the light source illuminating the scene.

It is intriguing.

According to the linked story, there are additional anomalies in the picture that strongly suggest photo manipulation.

Watch out barry! There’s a large, disembodied hand, dispraportinal to anything else in the picture, hovering over your left shoulder!

Barring accidents or birth defects, everyone who has a hand has fingers, and finger have knuckles, and black hands have black fingers with black knuckles...

The assumption that the hand belonged to FMD is rather meaningless when one considers it’s a known fact that zero arrived in Hawaii approx one year before Stanley Ann Dunham did. Her father and zero met her at the airport on arrival, it must have been in 1972, when Maya was almost two years old, and in 1973, Stanley Ann Dunham and Lolo Soetoro lodged a joint tax return in Hawaii, so if there’s a body missing that might have belonged to the hand, it would more likely belong to Lolo Soetoro, whose presence in Hawaii wasn’t known until the tax return came to light recently.

Joel Gilbert is a fraud.

Someone was taken out in that space between Obama’s and Michelle’s legs. The gray/tan there looks painted in and Michelle must be an alien because she appears to have two right hands.

Lolo's hand?

I suppose it could be. It sure looks like somebody's hand.

I think it looks ‘like somebody’s hand’ simply because Stanley Ann Dunham is standing there. Take her away, and it would look like he was holding something between his arm and chest.

There certainly are fakes, the Central Park sequence is an example, but with each fake, there has to be a need. What need would there be to tamper with an arrival image - for an event known to have taken place?

We saw this ‘black hand’ years before Joel Gilbert got hold of it and used it in his DVD and book. Did he mention that Lolo Soetoro was working and living in Hawaii with Stanley Ann and Maya as shown on their joint tax return?

No he didn’t. He was too busy trying to implicate Stanley Ann Dunham and Frank Marshall Davis in a liason that never happened, to ask any questions of that nature. It suited his style to promote the theory that ‘black fist’ which was probably a bag of some sort, as being the hand of FMD.

Joel Gilbert is a fraud. Every item of his mockumentary has been exposed for what it was, and this is just one more example.

So many things wrong with the team photo:

1. The black teen’s whole profile (his head, body and arm) is larger than that of anyone in the photo. It would look more natural if such a profile was on the front row. If the photo was real, such a teen should have grown to a much bigger man than obama;

2. Something is definitely amiss with the left arm of the youngster sitting to the right of the black teen;

3. Everyone was looking straight ahead except the black teen;

4. The black teen’s left leg/knee doesn’t look real at all. His right knee is too small compared to his body. Both legs are likely fake.

5. Letters are showing on everyone’s tops except the black teen’s, what a coincidence.
