First Home	How does July 22, 2008 sound as the birth announcement discovery date. The "birth announcement" is on microfilm/fiche from the Honolulu public library microfilm of a notice placed in the Sunday Advertiser Aug. 13, 1961. The announcement in the "Births, Marriages, Death" section read: "Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4." The problem is, Orland Scott Lefforge owned and occupied the house at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway. The "Obamas" didn't live there. click for large image then click again for really big image In 1961 the Dunhams lived on Kamehameha Avenue, while Obama Sr. lived on 11th Avenue. The Lefforge family, including their 3 children under the age of seven were residing at the luxury home listed on Obama’s newly found birth announcement -- 6085 Kalanianaole Highway. I have never seen any evidence that Obama Sr. and Anna Dunham ever lived as a married couple anywhere. Orland Scott Lefforge was a Professor at UH at Manoa, Dept. of Speech, before becoming an assistant to Sen. Inouye in 1967. After that he wrote a paper about "In service Training as an Instrument of Change" (1971). He was also an administrator in the UH Community College office, and a member of the Osher Institute. He died July 4, 2007 at the age of 91. His wife/companion Thelma Jones Lefforge Young died June 12, 2008. And, lo and behold! -- just 10 days after Thelma's death -- Obama's birth announcement miraculously shows up -- and guess what -- the birth announcement evicts Thelma from the home she lived in her entire adult life. Ten days is plenty of time to cut, typeset, & paste a new birth announcement. From what's on the Internet, the announcements were scanned and emailed by the librarian in Hawaii to a blogger named Lori and then to the Texas Darlin' blog. Unfortunately, they should have put more time into researching a safer and more practical address. Whomever suggests that CIA is behind this has got to be joking. No one at the agency would have been so stupid as to have chosen an address that is easily traced to a family occuping the home. Nor would they have selected a property grossly beyond the means of the supposed occupants. They would have safely chosen Bear-icks or the Dunham’s address. This birth announcement was done by someone wishing to uplift the early status of their beloved leader by selecting a pricy address and not doing their homework. It is highly improbable that the Lefforges would move an African 25 year old male and his pregnant teenage girlfriend into their home. Why would anyone want unemployed college students and a newborn baby living in their family home with their own three young children? And since Mrs. Lefforge died 10 days prior to the appearance of the birth announcement that listed her address, we can’t ask her. But we do know that the next door neighbor testified that Obama, "his mama, and his papa never lived there." What a tangled web of lies... Not a shred of evidence links the Dunhams or Obamas to Kalanianaole Highway. Kalanianaole only surfaced in connection with the Obamas in July 2008. I don’t think a commemorative plaque on the old homestead will be nailed up anytime soon. I wasn’t necessarily tying the date of the release of the Certificate with the June 12, 2008 date. I was trying to see how the sudden discovery of the birth announcement coincides with the death of the legitimate owner (witness) of the home that was alleged to be the first home of Obama. So in other words, the recent death announcement of the 1961 resident triggers the announcement, since now it is presumed to be a "safe address" to utilize as home plate.
The Microfilm	In Hawaii, WND was able to locate at the Honolulu public library microfilm of a notice placed in the Sunday Advertiser Aug. 13, 1961. The announcement in the "Births, Marriages, Death" section read: "Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4." Arakaki told Baro’s investigators that Obama, his 'mama,' and his 'papa' never lived there. Arakaki told investigators that she had no recollection of Obama being born or of the family living next door having a black child born to a white mother. Baro sent a team of investigators to Honolulu to explore records regarding current residents of Kalanianaole Highway and to track down residents back to 1961. Baro’s investigators were unable to locate any current or past resident of Kalanianaole Highway who could recall Obama or his family living at the address listed in the Sunday Advertiser announcement. Baro also sent investigators to the newspaper offices to examine files, but the Advertiser could not confirm who actually placed the ad. According to Baro’s affidavit, Beatrice Arakaki affirmed she was a neighbor of the address listed. She has lived at her current residence of 6075 Kalanianaole Highway from before 1961 to the present. Moreover, Arakaki said she believed that when Obama lived with the Dunhams, his grandparents, the family address was in Waikiki, not on Kalanianaole Highway. Baro was able to determine the previous owners of the residence at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway -- the alleged address of Obama’s parents when he was born -- were Orland S. and Thelma S. (Young) Lefforge, both of whom are deceased. That’s the first mention of microfilm for which I can quote a source. Does anyone recall the story told by the woman who went to the library and asked an attendant to see the microfilm, and when she told the attendant what she was looking for, the attendant replied that she happened to have it in her folder, someone else wanted that a few days ago, and she just happen to have a copy?
Where Did It Come From	As I've said before, a telephone call by Madelyn Dunham to both of these newspapers, or a personal appearance at them, was all that would have needed to get these birth announcements published in 1961. However, there is also a better than even probability that the original microfilm was replaced with microfilm taken of a forged newspaper printout. I don't think that the microfilm was spliced because the type and typesetting is also off. I've explored all sides of the birth announcement debate, and my conclusion still comes down to "Big Woof!!!”" THAT being said, however, the sudden "revelation" of this birth announcement, after questions about the authenticity of Obama's COLB had been raised, and one which has a false address, coupled with the fact that no birth announcement for the Nordyke twins appears anywhere in either paper, is enough to warrant its own investigation. Anyone who insists that these birth announcements could ONLY have come directly from Vital Records and nowhere else is either ignorant of the ways things are actually done, or is deliberately lying. I spoke with the editors of both papers. I spoke with the Head of Vital Records. All of them confirmed that family members were ALWAYS permitted to submit birth announcements directly to the newspaper, and that they were NEVER crosschecked with official Vital Records. The reason is, "Why?" There is absolutely no need to verify them. A birth announcement is not a legal document and cannot be used in any probative way. It is a total nonissue in comparison to fabricating a government-issued birth certificate. You can go to jail for doing that, but there's no penalty for placing a false birth announcement. It is not a case of false advertising. It is not identity theft. But, even a child can see the connection between the less-than-authentic COLB and this less-than-authentic birth announcement.
