This
video interview (and its associated translation), conducted in
Bahasa
Indonesia, is posted on YouTube (I couldn't listen to it).
It is accompanied by the following translation. I'm not sure
what to make of it, but here it is.
One thing that is odd is that
interviewee states that Stanley Ann Dunham lived in Jakarta for two
years before Barry showed up -- traveling back and forth to Hawaii --
and we also know that
little
Barry did his fair share of traveling back and forth, but his
passport file doesn't exist, and he's
not on his mother's passport.
So, now we know why Stanley
Ann had her passport
renewed on July 19, 1965, four months after she married Lolo (notice
she had her passport renewed), but we have no evidence that Stanley Ann
had ever before traveled outside of the united States -- so where
did she go that she needed her original passport? Kenya, maybe?
And why is there no record of Stanley Ann's original passport?
We have her passport file, but this official State Department file does
not contain her "original" passport records -- they are missing.
It begins with her "renewal" records. Just another coincidence, I
suppose.
The video does support the contention that Lolo
Soetoro did indeed adopt Barry, since the interviewee says Lolo refers
to him as, "this is my boy."
The interviewee also refers to Barry
attending Franciscus Assisi Primary
School, and we know he began his studies there on January 1, 1968
and sat in class 1B. So Stanley Ann must have arrived in 1965 or
1966.
Like every new piece of the Obama puzzle, this interview
raises more questions that it answers.
