Correct. But the transcript is important for another reason. The transcript is really the fact that tips the scales in favor of Fred’s longer term analysis that there were two different women; and two different mixed race boys.
You have Anna Obama at the Tout Capitol Hill Boarding House in the 1961 Seattle Polk Directory. I am inclined to view Fred’s analysis of the 18 months (Mary’s 18 month old child born in July 59) as a little looser than January of 1961 for other reasons—I think at best Anna got to Capitol Hill in later January, more likely early February of 61. But it is also consistent with the story that Anna was at the Salvation Army adoption service a few blocks away in April of 1961 (also attested by notes in Senior’s immigration file).
But Mary baby-sitting the mixed race little boy then is inconsistent with Stanley Ann and Senior as the mother and father; inconsistent with a conception date in the fall of 60 and birth in August of 61 for a child of Stanley Ann and Senior; inconsistent with Stanley Ann of the Dreams legend as Anna on Capitol Hill at all in the Dreams legend because Stanley would have still been in school at least through June of 60.
But Anna Obama living at the Tout Boarding house is perfectly consistent as the mother of BHO Jr.—Senior wrote letters home telling the family in the village that he had met and married a woman named Anna Tout; that she had born him a son named BHO jr.
The transcript clearly has the student woman at the Tout Boarding House Capitol Hill address; and it clearly identifies the student, not as an Anna Obama, but as Stanley Ann Dunham, graduate of Mercer Island High School in Seattle. The woman has a child which Mary babysat during the first calendar quarter of 1961. The initial gyrations involved an effort to somehow identify a mistake that could have made the woman Stanley Ann. The story of her residence includes a visit to the adoption service in April of 1961; it clearly includes the presence of the baby boy.
Follow on media coverage written by insiders at least initially say that the child ultimately known as Barry was not present on Capitol Hill in the school period in the 61-62 academic period speculating that Barry was living with Senior at the YMCA in Honolulu which is also inconsistent with the accepted record.
There isn't any way to manipulate the record to make the person reflected as Stanley Ann Dunham on Capitol hill the Anna Obama who lived there--there were two different women.
In Dreams, Bill Ayers, Ghost writing for Barry, gives you several important clues. He tells you Stanley was early admitted to the Chicago University in 1959; he tells you she was working as an Au Paire giving you a movie release date for the period in January 1962.
Again, Fred’s analysis of Stanley appears to have been correct. Stanley was a student at Mercer Island High School as a Sophomore (57-58) and Junior (58-59).
Early admission combined diploma programs were common in the period, both at the University of Washington and at Chicago University. Stanley went to Chicago where she did her credit work to get the Mercer Island diploma with her class in 1960 (59-60); she wasn’t there to get her picture in the annual as a senior because she was in Chicago but she in fact got her degree there and proceeded on with the two year program getting college credits through June, 1961. Consistent with the record which does not include her in the student annual as a senior but which does reflect her High School diploma at Mercer Island.
Also consistent with her later academic record. She ultimately starts school at U of Hawaii in March of 1963--she takes her final classes there prior to July of 1965--a little over two years. But she gets her four year BA degree issued in July of 1966 with no further academic attendance. Where did she get the credits to do that? Even if she had been at the University of Washington in a part time night school for two quarters (Fall 61, Winter 62) and a quasi full time student Spring 62, she doesn't make a four year degree. The University of Chicago credits are the difference.
Stanley then became an Au Paire in August of 61.
In mid August of 1961, she appears on Mercer Island with her classmate friend and later Mercer Island City Councilwoman Susan (Botkin) Blake, with infant Barry, “on her way to Boston” to live with Barry in a rental house owned by Ella Collins, his aunt. On the record (the baby boy gone from Capitol Hill after September 61 and pictured together with Barry reflecting the appropriate ages; Senior visiting his son in Boston in 62, 63, and 64 after Barry has gone to Indonesia in January 63) infers and is consistent with Stanley acting as Au Paire for both boys in the 61-62 period.
Point about the transcript is that it is the only single piece of evidence that puts Stanley Ann in Seattle in 1961-62. It is directly inconsistent with Blake's testimony that Stanley was on her way to Boston in August of 61; and inconsistent with her residence with Ella Collins in the period. And under circumstances in which the transcript itself is fraudulent, it leaves you with only the conclusion that the transcript is an effort to produce a fraudulent record making Stanley the woman living on Capitol Hill under the name Obama. There were simply two different women with two different baby boys, one about 7 months older than the other.
Wew—that is one convoluted post.
Here is your problem. Not everyone who talks about SA has an accurate memory, and not everyone tells the truth. Were it not for you and maybe two or three others In The World, no one would have an issue with Anna. The U says she lived where SA lived. SA tried every known combination of her name. As Corsi and every other KNOWN researcher who has ever written on the subject agrees, Anna was SA.
A criminally fraudulent transcript was never needed to cover up for a woman that three or four people on obscure Internet threads ALONE believe in. That’s just silly. Everyone else readily believes something is off either with Toutonghi’s memory or her honesty. Simple as that.
There was no letter home from Sr talking about Anna Tout. Aunt Zeituni was a con artist, so if she’s the one you’re basing it on, you’re misled/mistaken. Otherwise, link to the letter, please.
David,
Who is the next younger boy to Mark, in items 19 thru 25 here (#23, look at the two younger boys)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3407407/posts?page=187#187
Pictures are from Mark’s latest book “an Obama’s journey”.
Item #9 thru #18 in post #187 are comparisons of the two little boys of about preschool/kindergarten age (the ones we’ve seen from Mark’s website & Fred’s posts) with the two boys of elementary school age, that are from Mark’s family pictures.
The ones from Mark’s book are his family pix also.
Occam’s razor says that the two boys are who Mark says they are.
And the whole series of pix shown in items 9-18 and 19-25 of post #187 show the same two boys together in the —same place— KENYA, during the time that 0 is halfway around the world, either in Hawaii or Indonesia.
Therefore none of the pix show 0, especially in the preschool/kindergarten one - the boy on left matches boy on left in elementary age pic.
To put it another way. If you’d had articles by reputable authors coming out about Anna Tout, and if her ‘existence,’ had become a subject of discussion, and people were using it in any meaningful way to undermine obama, you would have a point.
But Anna Tout was not mentioned by any author in any reputable venue. No one was publicly discussing how her [mythical] existence undercut Obama’s story. Not cashill, not Corsi, no other established conservative author, certainly no lberal...no one.
This great threat to Obama’s integrity was nonexistent. Period.
Thank you. Matches up with everything that I can remember posted on the research threads.
I think peoples’ main problems who don’t “get it” are that they didn’t read all the research threads, for one. For another, many people have preconceived ideas of what happened, so try to stuff whatever fits into a box, and not everything can fit, so they twist things in their minds and reject what doesn’t “fit” into their idea of the story. Add to that some people hate to admit “I was wrong” or “I don’t know”. A bit of humility is essential of one wants to know truth, in any area of life.
A mind emptied of what people think they know is the only way to understand this.
“It’s not so much what people don’t know is the problem, it’s what they know that ain’t so.”
I don't remember seeing "Polk" directories here in the Boston area but it would seem to me that they would be published the year before, like December 1960 or sooner. What would be the cutoff date for typesetting a new address in that directory in time for printing?
I have just left a message with Polk to see if they can answer that question.
