A Further Inquiry into Obama's Origins
The American Thinker ^ | April 27, 2010 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 04/27/2010 5:22:36 PM PDT by as1001

Last week I contributed an article to American Thinker on Obama's origins that evoked a good deal of informed response. In it, I argued that the failure of the mainstream media to document the first year of Barack Obama's life has rendered the media accounts of the year before his birth suspect.

Here is what we know about Obama's first year. On August 19, 1961, fifteen days after Obama's presumed birth, his mother, "Stanley Ann Dunham," enrolled for classes at the University of Washington at Seattle.

The apolitical Washington State historical blog HistoryLink confirms Ann's arrival in August 1961, identifies her Capitol Hill apartment in Seattle, names the courses she took, and documents an extended stay by Ann and little Obama into the summer of 1962.

Incredibly, not one of the mainstream media accounts I consulted -- including four book-length biographies, several long-form magazine and newspaper bios, Obama's official campaign biography, and Obama's 1995 memoir Dreams From My Father -- places Ann and Obama anywhere other than in Hawaii during that first year.

Given this collective failure and the Obama camp's squirrelly response to questions about his birth certificate, another look at the circumstances leading up to that birth is warranted. To restore logic and order to this investigation, I turn to a structure we know as Occam's Razor: "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate.'' This translates roughly as "Multiple variables are not to be posited without necessity." Let me start with the timeline and cast of characters...

Maybe in taking her newborn to Seattle so she could care for him in the midst of college classes, she was also trying to keep this baby far from someone or some place,

or....

Maybe the baby had been in Seattle all along and maybe even born there.

Most scenarios lead to the distinct possibility the baby had not yet been in Hawaii prior to her starting classes.

“Occidental College is on record it will provide Soetoro’s college transcripts if a Court orders it to do so. Soetoro’s lawyers successfully prevented such an order. The attorney seeking Soetoro’s transcripts has vowed to appeal.”

If Rev. Manning is correct, the Occidental transcripts will show only partial records for Obummer, indicating when he left for Afghanistan at the behest of the CIA.

Let's not be too hasty here. Maybe it was a different Stanley Ann Dunham who enrolled at the University of Washington in August 1961. There must be loads of girls named Stanley who happen to have the Dunham surname.

What if Barack's sperm donor had been someone other than a foreign student from Kenya? What if he had been born white? What would he be doing now? Selling cars? Selling real estate? Bank manager? Insurance agent?

Well the family on the right seems to be missing a husband for the 17 year old’s child (not shown), is that it?

This is what I find interesting

“There is a “single mother’s home” in British Columbia (or at least it was in 1961) in Victoria; a couple hours drive from Seattle. Also, there was a new ferry crossing there that Stanley would have had to go across into Canada. Maybe someone has access to the records there? I believe the same ferry is still crossing!”

There were some interesting speculations posed that could be answered genetically:

(1) Is Stanley Ann Dunham BHO’s mother? Well if someone can get a DNA sample from his half sister (known to be Ann’s daugther) and a sample of BHO’s (not that hard - skin cells, siliva on a cig butt,etc.), then they can compare the mitochrondrial DNA (passed by mother to child unchanged). If BHO and his half sister’s mitochondria DNA don’t match...then Stanley Ann Dunham is not his mother.

(2) Is Stanley Dunham (purported grandfather) actually BHO’s father. OK...this will be a little harder. One one need a DNA sample from a male Dunham that descended from the same Male Dunham ancestor as Stanley Dunham and compare the Y chromosome (passed from father to son unchanged) of BHO to it. If it is a match, then Stanley Dunham is likely BHO’s biological father.

(3) Using the Y chromosome it should be possible to determine if BHO is indeed Barrack Obama Sr’s son. Find a male Obama relative that is a child of Obama Sr. or a father to son descendent of Barrack Sr.’s father or grandfather. IF the Y chromosomes match, then BHO is the son of Barrack Obama, Sr.

Getting these samples would not be hard for a group of PIs working to tail the president and the associated relatives. People leave DNA samples all the time. Saliva on a cig butt or glass is a good place to find it. Left behind skin cells,etc. The key is to properly document the collection process and get good labs to do the work.

Go to it!

If Barry wasn’t Stanley Ann’s child she never would have taken him with her to Indonesia. Forget that possibility.

Oh, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. And she didn't keep him there all that long. As soon as he wanted out, she sent him back to Hawaii.

What kind of mother plans on attending college 15 days after giving birth?

And didn't this also supposedly involve giving birth in Hawaii, then traveling to Seattle, getting an apartment and moving in etc. with a 15-day old baby?

I wonder if airlines even allowed such new mothers and such new babies to fly back then. There used to be quite a few restrictions on such things.

Women often stayed in the hospital for a while after birth, too, I think.

If we were to do some homework on the net (much has been removed in the last 18 months), we'd find a report or more of Stanley Ann's college classmates saying she had the baby with her in Seattle in Fall 1961 in an apartment off campus...even the names of babysitters. You'd also find that friends in Hawaii saw her in a two piece swim suit (she wasn't bikini material) on the beach in Waikiki in July 1961 (claimed date of birth 8/04/61) certainly not showing at all.

Probable scenario is that BHO II was born as much as 3-4 months earlier in either Mercer Island WA (where Stanley Ann attended high school) or more likely in Canada (BC) where there were numerous homes for unwed mothers ala Crittendon.

Frank Davis, close family friend of the senior Dunham, is most probably the father. He left Seattle/Mercer Island a few years before at the request of the local court after facing pedophile (underage girls) allegations. A pregnant Stanley Ann met BHO I at U. of Hawaii and he bought into a deal before their 'marriage' in Mauai and before BHO II's birth. He had nothing to lose and quite possibly thought this would gain him American citizenship. Recall that no one has ever reported seeing the President's parents together, let alone living together.

Although this scenario makes the President a natural born citizen, he is also guilty of a host of misdemeanors or felonies for faking records since the gitgo. Virtually a life a layered frauds since diapers, hence the sealed records, school papers, numerous SS#'s, failure to register for the draft and the yielded law license in Illinois. Who passes the bar as a magna cum laude Harvard Law grad and then turns around and walks away?

Also, I’ve read that there is a distinct possibility these may have been extension or correspondance courses.

Also, for the record, Hamilton was born in the British Virgin Islands, if I recall correctly.

I would be interested in knowing more about the actual travel time and method from Honolulu to Seattle in 1961, especially for a new mother with an infant barely two weeks old.

What type of airplanes made that run and from Honolulu to where? Etc.

Those who were born before the adoption of the Constitution were deemed “citizens” since when they were born there was no United States of America. Not sure about Hamilton’s birth place, though.

____________
AND without her new husband, supposed father of her first born. I don’t know what the truth is, but I am sure it’s not as he tells it. None of it makes any sense and he refuses address it.
