We may never know the truth about Obama because the destruction of records has been so thorough and there is so much disinformation about him out there.
I only recently got interested in this subject, having regarded the "birther" issue as a pointless distraction designed to divert productive efforts in an unproductive direction. Having read, cross-referenced and annotated both of his ghost written books and having analyzed the on line photos used to make up his history, my preliminary opinions are as follows:
1. I don't believe he was born in Kenya because there is no evidence of that and many if not all of the photos of him and his Kenyan relatives are frauds and forgeries. Frankly, there is no substantial evidence that Obama Sr. is even his biological father. There are no pictures of them together, no one ever saw them together and they never lived together. In mid-August 1961, just a couple of weeks after Obama's birth, Ann Dunham moved to Seattle, WA and enrolled in the University of Washington. Obama Sr. did not leave Hawaii until June 1962 to attend Harvard.
2. Most of the photographs of Obama as a child are frauds and forgeries. Upon close inspection, there are anatomical differences between the children represented to be him and it's obvious that at least three different individuals have been used as being Obama in is young years in order to help create his history. One example: A group photo from Obama's high school years reveals a black person's head pasted on to a white person's body! The face is black, but the exposed left arm is white. Not until Harvard Law School in the late 1980's do we see pictures of the man whose facial features are those of the "Obama" who is now president.
3. The history of the Dunham family is also largely fabricated and is heavily documented with with forged and altered photographs. An example of this is the cover of the paperback edition of Dreams From My Father, which features a WW2 era picture of Stanley Dunham, ("Gramps") in a military uniform. The problem is, "Gramps" allegedly served in the US Army. The picture on Obama's book, however, shows Gramps wearing
a U.S. Marine Corps. hat(!) to which a US Army badge has been attached, although off centered.
4. I do not believe the African Obama is even his real biological father. There is no evidence that Obama Sr and Ann Dunham ever lived together or even met, except Obama's own ghost written books. The address shown in the birth announcment was the Dunham's address, not Obama Sr's. Ann Dunham was a sexually promiscuous teenager who liked sex with black men and in 1960 or 61 became pregnant by one. The planting of the birth announcement was a means of legitimizing her illegitimate mixed race offspring in an era when out of wedlock births and mix race relationships were widely disfavored. Consider the irony of the fact that Obama, who strongly supports abortion and even favors killing children who survive botched abortions, would most likely have been aborted if that procedure had been legal in 1961.
5. There was a conspiracy in 1960-61. The purpose, however, was to legitimize an out of wedlock offspring, not to pave the way for an illegal alien to become President decades later. There is no evidence of any marriage except in Ann Dunham's divorce petition filed in January 1964, where she identifies the date of marriage as Feb. 2, 1961 on the island of Maui. Any conspiracy to make this unlikely person president would have done a much better job of creating a history and the phony, photoshopped, forged photos would not be necessary since a real history would have been created as his life progressed. There is evidence that Obama has been using a Social Security Number originally issued to some other individual in the State of Connecticut. It's apparent that "Obama" lived much of his pre Harvard Law School life in the shadowy world of some kind of criminal sub culture. If there were a grand conspiracy formed in 1961 to make him president, these embarrassing problems would not have occurred. The conspiracy to make this fraud the President of the US was hatched much later in Obama's life, not before or at the time of his birth.
In studying the history of his life, it's apparent that sometime in the late 1980's Obama made friends in very high places and he was able to get into Harvard Law School, notwithstanding his mediocre grades and lackluster intellectual performance. His own autobiography confirms that he spent most of his time as a teenager and an undergraduate under the influence of drugs.
6 There are clues about his background that illustrate the fraudulent nature of his background. In 2009 he attended an international conference of Latin American leaders, at which he and the USA were condemned for US foreign policy including the ill fated Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961. Obama responded with words to the effect that it was not fair to blame him for an event that occurred with he was only three months old. (!)
This is what he said: “To move forward, we cannot let ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. I’m grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old. Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. We’ve all heard these arguments before.”
But Obama, according to his online Certificate of Live Birth, was not actually born yet. The invasion at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba occurred in April 1961. Obama was born August 4, 1961.
This man does not know when he was born!!! On another occasion, a UPI reporter quoted Obama as saying he was born at Queen's Hospital in Honolulu. Well, Obama's birth certificate and the official version is that he was born at Kapiolani Hospital. Another screw up when the great one went off teleprompter and confused his real history with his made up history.
Obama is a fraud and an imposter whose life was created for him by handlers and ghost writers. He makes gaffs and screw ups like the foregoing because in his mind when speaking under pressure in public he confuses he real life history with the phony history created for him by his handlers.
The outrage is not that an imposter took over the presidency, but that a stupid, dull witted American electorate allowed it to happen.
