Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama’s Indonesian connection.

Former Menteng student now US President

Obama Barack has been democratically elected President of the US.

Quite an about face for the best democracy money can buy, in view of the Bush presidential se-lection.

But of course, corruption, collusion and nepotism is the sole monopoly of the Third World – or so the deluded denizens of the West repeat to themselves as they hug their knees, rocking back and forth – reminding themselves of how they uphold human rights equally across the board, entirely devoid of double-standards and totally oblivious to race, creed or religion.

Barrak Hussein Obama II was born to a white American Ann Dunham and Kenyan Barrak Hussein Obama Snr, in Nyang’oma Kogelo now in Kenya.

Here the Indonesian link starts.

Ann Dunham married in 1967 Lolo Soetoro, a Javanese, whose own father, in 1946 was killed along with his eldest brother were killed, after which the Dutch army burned down the family’s home. Soetoro fled with his mother into the countryside to survive. Incidentally yet more proof of Dutch war crimes – delibrate destruction of civilian property outside the scope of battle.

Pak Lolo Soetoro was an army geologist then later a government relations consultant for Mobil Oil. Obama describes Soetoro as well-mannered, even-tempered, and easy with people.

From age 6 to 10, Obama lived in Jakarta. Age six, Obama attended the Catholic Primary St Francis di Assisi. Much was made of the lie he was educated in a Madrassa – or more accurately a pesantren – this of course was totally untrue. Obama Jnr later attended Model Primary School, Menteng and was registered as a Muslim – as his father was Muslim.

In Obama’s own words:

In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies. My mother wasn’t overly concerned. ‘Be respectful,’ she’d say. In the Catholic school, when it came time to pray, I would close my eyes, then peek around the room. Nothing happened. No angels descended. Just a parched old nun and 30 brown children, muttering words.

One of “Berry’s” childhood friends was Adi who often visited “Berry’s” 16 Jalan Haji Ramli house. Speaking volumes of Dutch “development” at the time the road was of this established middle-class neighbourhood was a dirt lane where Obama used to wile away the hours kicking a soccer ball.

Adi recalled Obama and his friends wore plastic bags over their shoes to walk through the muddy street during the rainy seasons.

Neighborhood Muslims worshiped in a nearby house, which has since been replaced by a larger mosque. Sometimes, when the muezzin sounded the call to prayer, Lolo and Barry would walk to the makeshift mosque together, Adi said.

His mother often went to the church, but Barry was Muslim. He went to the mosque,” Adi said. “I remember him wearing a sarong.”

Obama spent most his spare time hanging out with Adi and other friends at the home of Yunaldi Askiar, a classmate. They used to play a kind of fencing game using sticks, kick a ball up and down the narrow dirt lanes or go swimming in the river behind the school, said Askiar, 42, a car mechanic.

Obama was taller and better dressed than most kids in classes where shoes and socks were still luxuries, so he stood out from the start. As an African American, and the only foreigner, he suffered racial taunts and teasing but never turned to violence.

“At first, everybody felt it was weird to have him here,” Israella Dharmawan, his first grade teacher said. “But also they were curious about him, so wherever he went, the kids were following him.”

His friends enjoyed playing tricks on Berry: Harmon ASki recalled,

“Sometimes we’d say, ‘Barry, do you want a chocolate?’ And we’d give him a chocolate. The next day we’d give him a chocolate again. The third time we’d give him terasi (fermented shrimp paste) wrapped up like chocolate. Obama didn’t get mad. He would laugh it off.”

Ann Soetoro moved to Yogyakarta, while Obama Jnr studied in Jakarta. She was inspired by Jogja village industries, which became the basis of her 1992 doctoral dissertation.

“She loved living in Java,” said Dr. Dewey, who recalled accompanying Ms. Soetoro to a metalworking village. “People said: ‘Hi! How are you?’ She said: ‘How’s your wife? Did your daughter have the baby?’ They were friends. Then she’d whip out her notebook and she’d say: ‘How many of you have electricity? Are you having trouble getting iron?’ ”

Dunham-Soetoro became a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development on setting up a village credit program, then a Ford Foundation program officer in Jakarta specializing in women’s work. Later, she was a consultant in Pakistan, then joined Indonesia’s oldest bank to work on what is described as the world’s largest sustainable microfinance program, creating services like credit and savings for the poor.


Obama in Hawaii with Maya and Ann and maternal grand-father, shortly after leaving Indonesia.

In his tellingly-titled Memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama describes his Indonesian interlude as “one long adventure, the bounty of a young boy’s life”. But he also recalls being troubled by the poverty around him: “the empty look on the faces of farmers the year the rains never came,” and the desperation of the disabled beggars who came to the family’s door.

“The world was violent, I was learning, unpredictable and often cruel,” he writes. Obama and his mother thus we were very well acquainted with the harsh realities of indigenous Indonesians.

Fermina Katarina Sinaga, recalled yojhng Obama in her class: in the common task of class to write an essay titled “My dream: What I want to be in the future.” Obama “wrote ‘I want to be a president,’ ” she said. During a later writing assignment on family, he wrote, “My father is my idol.

The Indonesian connection for Obama and all that shaped him proving once again all things Javanese and indigenous Indonesian the bedrock for the towering monuments built on the foundations of a great civilisation.

    Barry Sutoro, or Barrak Obama, I don’t care what he calls himself, you CANNOT be president if your not a natural born USA citizen. All we want is your records to prove your a citizen, if you are one why don’t you just give them. (Don’t anyone say its an invasion of privacy either, have you seen the things they do to people, like the new 50 question census that wants to know if your poop smells good). I personally don’t believe he was born here, i don’t think he should be president and I voted republican not that that means anything, there wasn’t a good person to choose from, just took the lesser of two evils.

    I don’t know what he really is, could be the son of Satan for all I know, but one things for sure, he’s is ruining our country, and remember folks, it states in the constitution “it is your duty as a usa citizen to remove all threats to the usa both foreign and domestic.” i believe he should be considered a threat and removed. (not in a violent way by any means.)

    take it how you want it but even if you voted for him I’m sure you must realize now, he’s doing a lot more harm to this country than good. Get ready because all of the crap is going to hit the fan right after the next presidency elections and it will to late if he’s re-elected and blamed on the new president if he’s not.

  2. Cliff says:

    Right Cory,

    If he was legal. why is he trying to fight it? why not just show the facts ?, and right again, he is here for one purpose and thats to take America down hill, make us equal to the poor nations with their little sick minded dictators.

    But maybe thats what America needs to wake up, and hear what our God has been trying to tell us, maybe it takes some hard times, even hunger to remember that we do have a Creator.

  3. mr.lambesis says:

    this f*cking bastard obama makes me sick! i’d believe that the american n*ggers feel that their race is not so bad at all that they chose obama to be their president and guess what? this f#cking n*gger muslim obama sure is defending the terrorist, rapist, killer muslims from the beginning and will make the US filthy with his pigheaded brain! if i could make this bastard out from the presidency, i would give all i’ve got!

  4. Christliche says:

    Yep, an illegal president but everyone is too swoon by him to do anything about it. People wanted “anybody but Bush” and they sure got it. Who thought we could have a worse president than Bush? America is in its last days.

  5. Oigal says:

    Nothing like a bit of nice, well thought out political prose. Thanks for your thoughts Lamby 🙂

  6. RealityCheck says:

    I’d like to point out something to you crazies. His mother was an American citizen. It does not matter where he was born. Under our laws, any child born to a citizen receives American citizenship automatically. Even if the Barrack were born on Neptune he would still be an American citizen.

  7. Mahalo says:

    Obama has yet to produce the long birth certificate that gives textual proof of him being born in the United States, the law clearly states that you have to be a natural born citizen of American to become President. The odds aren’t in his favour and if he doesn’t provide documentation, well, I’m still going to doubt the legality of his Presidency.

  8. joedoaks says:

    Maybe the reason why President Obama has blocked any access to his COLB is just like John McCain, who was not born in the USA either. McCain was born in Panama or did everyone forget about that?

  9. the guardian says:

    the american people have been browbeaten into acceptin anything the liberal communistic news media along with the outrigth communist “demoncrat”party throws their way. If you don’t accept their way you are a racist or worse.Hence… Fidelito Hussein Maobama, a.k.a. Barry Soeturo gets elected president of the United States and practically nobody in the general population of voters knew anything about him except he is black and if you did’nt vote for him you are racist. Insults courtesy of the “demoncrafts”. See you in November.

    ======================================================
    You have that right, if you vote democrat you get socialism, and which ever way you vote you get a police state.

    I have been voting for the republicans to try to keep the dam socialists out, but we have so many weak kneed republicans ( they want to be nice to the liberals to show they are good guys) that with or with out them socialism is still creeping in like a fungus.

    I think i will take a look at the constitution party, and oh sure the liberals will holler racist but if i find some one who really believes in being a free American i will vote for them, black, red, brown yellow or white, or purple for that matter.

    I know all about democrats, i was raised among them, in fact i did not even know what a republican was until i was close to thirty years old, however i did notice there were some people who did not have racist slurs coming from their mouth all of the time, i knew they were different, later found they were not democrats.

    Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year ~http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.html
    so can we get off the “He ain’t a citizen trip” He didn’t have to be born here to be a citizen read the constitution. His mother was a citizen and that’s all that matters. Unless of course you want to say that any children born outside the US is not a citizen, which would include children born to soldiers overseas and mom’s that had some problem and had to deliver outside our country.

  12. marc27 says:

    This is a direct attack on our Constitution, just like everything has been from day one of our Independence, but especially since 911.

    911 was an obvious Inside Job and they wanted us to know.

    When you take into account that the British Banks have only lost control of the US Monetary system only six brief periods in US History and 1776 not being one of them, having John Adams go and bow before King George, swearing allegiance and borrowing a ton of money creating a national debt (that was only paid off by A. Jackson, the only President of the US to ever do so) with British Bank Interest immediately applied (like it still is today) making the The First American Revolution an Inside Job. Our so called Independence and Sovereignty for the control of our Monetary System.

    Give me control of a nation’s monetary system and I care not who writes its laws. -Mayer Amshel Roethschilds, (Father of the British Banking Family Dynasty)

    How can this guy control and manipulate Congress and all these Goons in his administration, plus this whole country? Not only is he not quaified to be President. He is not even a citizen. Outside of the bailouts this is the bigest fraud in History!

  15. Robert says:

    Barrack Obama is also Hebrew for ‘Fall like Lightning from Great Heights’ which is how Jesus desribed Lucifer.

    Ho di Ho…:-) We are really being blessed with some internet classics on this thread.

  18. marc27 says:

    Hey Mcone!!!

    Soetoro is an Official Super Puppet, he runs nothing, just like Bush and Clinton and every Puppet with relating DNA runs Nothing. He sure loves being Puppet in Chief though, so much he will read anything they put in front of him on his teleprompter.

    The foreign and private, parasitic International Bankers that have been control of our monetary system from day one have a simple plan, give our jobs to their next host nation in line China (having five times the potential consumers) to build up then destroy financially, extracting all the wealth and resources for themselves and their masters The British Royal Family while turning us into Mexicanamerico (The North American Union) to make their slave goods for the next 100 years.

    The British Royal Family

    So its the British Royal Family that is responsible for it all, interesting :-). I would not have put Charlie down as being that clever with all that inbreeding n all.

    Still I will be curious to see how our resident conspiracy in chief has to say…Rossy are you there?

  20. winston smith says:

    barrack obama is a plant by the globalist to facilitate there end game. whether he is or isnt a citizen is irrelevant at this point. while you people worry about country of origin, this puppet is letting his people purposely collapse the economic structure of this country, posoin our food and water, and take away the grass roots way of life that keeps this country growing strong.

  21. Oigal says:

    I do enjoy this thread and learn so much about the USA. If you will pardon my ignorance, I am still a little unclear about a couple of things..

    If Barry is a plant, is he a Globalist (what is that?), a socialist, a communist, a muslim, a Islamist or an illegal alien? Sorry to be a nuisance but everyone here seems to have these things on such good authority I must be missing something.

  22. deta says:

    posoin our food and water

    He must be an oil spiller.

    =======================================================
    Oigal,
    You should read what marc27 says again, also read the New world order and Global tryanny step by step and then see if you can connect it all with the pyramid of the Illumini, masons, roscruitians, watchtower and any others who preach the new world order, also is it just a coincidence that the new world order and the pyramid is on the one dollar bill?

    and if you are a hypnotist you might see what a high degree mason could tell you. as that would be the only way they would tell you anything, and the rest of them would not know.

    I do not believe in coincidence myself, at least not to such a high degree.

    Also see if you can figure what the meaning of the mark of the beast is in the Bible,I realize there are many people that do not believe in the Bible, but the Bible predicted that the people of Israel would dwell safe in unwalled cities, and that has been seen in our time, and the only time in history.

    are they safe? we don,t know yet but the Bible says it so i believe it.

    We are not going to stop anything, and we are not going to start anything, this is just a discussion to show how smart we are, ha ha

    Maybe a few things not spelled right, but if i was very smart i would be out getting rich instead of spending some of my valuable time doing this.

  24. diego says:

    Speaking of Obama, I had a weird dream last night. Forgot some details, but here is the general flow:

    I met Obama in mexico city (forgot which event). Then we walked out together, walking along mexico city’s streets, we talked, talked, and talked (and I mentioned this thread to him).

    Then I invited him to drop by at my apartment, and then he decided to sleep over in my apartment (separate room). Then (in my dream) I went to bed with my partner.

    Still, in my dream, I woke up at 4 AM, and found my partner was not there. I opened another room, and found he was sleeping with the guy he just knew (they’ve been going out together the last 3 weeks). No, not Obama, (yet) another room, another guy.

    I got furious, and of course, there was a quarrel between us. Scandal. This woke Obama up, he was confused, not knowing what was going on. He was shirtless and there was another guy in his room (I remember he introduced that other guy as a prince / king of some country in west / central europe. Blond, white guy, typical nordic / scandinavian I guess). I didn’t think much of that guy nor Obama (I didn’t even suspect if they had sex), my mind was in the conflict with my partner.

    Then (forgot how exactly), appeared some people I know from the past. Some of them are muslims, and they asked me to calm down, and stop for a while. They asked me to eat, instead. SAHUR time!! It’s Ramadhan, remember?

    So, there, we had our sahur together. In mexico city. Obama was there. Prince / King of sweden or something was there.

    Then I (really) woke up, and relieved to see my partner was there, sleeping by my side.

  25. Bernadette says:

    I have always believed that he was not an american citizen, and the dem’s knew this .
    just another screw up. If he runs for president again, he should be forced to show all documents about his place of birth and his adoption papers

  26. usladybird says:

    Obama is NOT eligible to be President if he was not born in the USA. Read our requirements! Biggest fraud ever put over on the American people. If a real citizen, why has he spent over 4 million dollars hiding all his past documentation and uses multiple social security numbers. Sad that the legacy he leaves as the first black american president is so deceptive.

  27. Odinius says:

    Wow, 18 pages in and the wingbats and moonnuts are still going!

  28. Ben white says:

    People people people… The “born in this country”. crap is old. He is a citizen of the USA, UNTIL his adoptive father “denounced” it to get him his Indonesian cirizenship. HELLO, he can’t have dual citizen ships in Indonesia… What about the clause about political representitive? I swear it states something about parents cannot be from another government… That prevents other political leaders from infultrating our government…

  29. Black Lion says:

    Both the majority opinion as well as the dissent explain how the term ‘natural born’ applies to any child born on US soil, with minor exceptions including children whose parents did not fall under US jurisdiction, such as diplomats or invading military (and in the US for a while Indians not paying taxes).

    A focus on these select phrases is also misleading in view of the ambiguous ways in which the Court at other places defines the territorial scope of citizenship. See Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at 658, 18 S.Ct. at 460 (under the English common law rule, “every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject”) (emphasis added)[9]; id. at 661, 18 S.Ct. at 461-62 (“[p]ersons who are born in a country are generally deemed citizens and subjects of that country”) (emphasis added; citation omitted); id. at 665, 18 S.Ct. at 463 (“[t]he right of citizenship … is incident to birth in the country“) (emphasis added; citation omitted). But see, id. at 666, 18 S.Ct. at 463 (“mere birth within the realm gives the rights of a native-born citizen”) (emphasis added; citation omitted); id. at 667, 18 S.Ct. at 463-64 (discussing the “ancient rule of citizenship by birth within the dominion“) (emphasis added); id. at 674, 18 S.Ct. at 466-67 (“the fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within its sovereignty“) (emphasis added); id. at 675, 688, 18 S.Ct. at 467, 471-72 (reaffirmation by the Fourteenth Amendment of citizenship by birth “within the dominion“) (emphasis added).

    The dissent

    In Wong Kim Ark, the Court then traced the United States’ reliance on the common law rule of citizenship by birth from its origins in Calvin’s Case. 77 Eng.Rep. 377, 399 (Exch.Ch. 1608). That case established that a person’s status as a natural-born subject[4] requires that (1) the person’s birth occur within the bounds of the King’s dominion and (2) that the parents owe obedience to the King at the time of the child’s birth.
