NEW YORK – Does a family photograph of a young Barack Obama posted on the president’s Facebook campaign page offer a clue to the identity of his real father?
A professional graphic artist who examined the 1973 photo believes the image of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was airbrushed into the scene to cover up an African-American man who was standing next to Obama at the Honolulu airport.
Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, who commissioned the analysis, told WND there’s substantial evidence that the man in the original photograph was Frank Marshall Davis, the Communist Party member, pro-Soviet propagandist and pornographer who played a fatherly role in Obama’s teen years.
In his full-length documentary “Dreams from My Real Father,” Gilbert presents a compelling case that Davis was Obama’s biological father as well as his ideological mentor. He believes the Dunham family recruited the Kenyan student Barack Hussein Obama to act as the father, to cover up an illicit affair with a subversive political activist.
Gilbert posted a page on his website at the time this article was published with details of his find.
Joel Gilbert’s “Dreams from My Real Father” is on sale now at WND’s Superstore
Gilbert says the black male hand under Obama’s armpit is strikingly similar to the right hand of Davis.
“We know from Obama’s own writing and interviews with Davis’ neighbors, that Obama was a regular visitor to Davis’ house from age 10,” Gilbert told WND. “This doctored photo on Obama’s own Facebook page seems to be part of a pattern of document forgery by President Obama to hide his biological and ideological relationship to communist Frank Marshall Davis.”
Obama would have been about 12 years old at the time the photo was taken. The image also shows Obama’s half-sister, Maya, and his grandfather, Stanley Dunham.
After Gilbert saw the photo on Obama’s Facebook page, he found a clearer version on the Web that he used in his video. The image used in his video has not been enhanced.
Gilbert commissioned Robert Nikolakakis, a professional graphic artist and illustrator from Montreal, Canada, to examine the photograph.
See the detailed analysis of the Obama photo by Robert Nikolakakis
“There seem to be several suspicious anomalies in this family photo depicting President Obama as a child along with his half-sister, mother and grandfather,” Nikolakakis wrote in a report.
“All suspected alterations to the photo seem to point to the cutting, pasting and airbrushing of Barack Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, into the photo to cover up someone of African-American origin,” he wrote.
Nikolakakis, with 21 years experience as an illustrator and graphic designer, has created websites, corporate identities, editorial illustrations, photo retouches and photo-manipulations for television shows, film studios, magazine publishers and photography studios. He as also served as a consultant for old-age special-effects makeup and has contributed to tutorials on photo manipulation.
A clearer version of the photo on Obama's Facebook page
His analysis of the Obama photo found at least half-a-dozen anomalies:
•The black hand under Obama’s right armpit doesn’t match Ann Dunham’s right arm. The size and color is wrong for a white female, and the hand is positioned closer to the camera than Dunham’s arm. The hand appears to be a remnant from a black male before it was airbrushed.
•The chair on the far left next to Ann Dunham is brown and smaller than the chairs on the right, which are white. The horizontal support bar for the brown chair does not align with the white chairs’ support bar.
•Ann Dunham’s hair over both her right and left shoulders show signs of airbrushing.
•The lighting on Ann Dunham’s face is from the far left and is not consistent with the other figures, who are lit from above. This suggests Ann Dunham’s image was placed into this scene from a different photo.
•Above and below Obama’s right elbow is a ghosting effect in which a glow emanates from the arm, suggesting a different underlying image such as a light-colored shirt behind Obama. Uneven pixilation is a sign of cloning.
•Ann Dunham looks to be about 25 years old, too young for this 1973 photo. Maya, who was born Aug 15, 1970, looks to be about 3 years old. Ann should look 30 years old.
“This photo forgery appears to be part of Obama’s ongoing campaign to minimize, misdirect and outright lie about damaging information about his past,” Gilbert said. “I hope the media will now demand that he come clean about his family background, his political foundations and fully reveal his agenda for transforming America.”
In his film, Gilbert shows how Davis indoctrinated Obama with a political foundation in Marxism and an anti-white worldview.

“This is a known phenomenon in the radical left, referred to as “red diaper babies” or “hand-me-down Marxism,” he noted.
He pointed out that much of the leadership of 1960s Marxist groups such as Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground were children of Communist Party USA members, including Katherine Boudin and Jeff Jones.
President Obama’s chief campaign adviser, David Axelrod, also is a “red diaper baby,” Gilbert said.
As WND reported Tuesday, a new book by Paul Kengor, “The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor,” documents Davis’s work for the Communist Party and his influence on Obama.
Weekly visits
As WND reported, Gilbert discovered racy photos published in vintage fetish and bondage magazines of Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, that he believes were taken by Davis. The photos, he says, bolster his belief that Dunham had an intimate relationship with Davis.
Frank Marshall Davis
In his film, Gilbert documents that Ann Dunham gave her father, the “Gramps” of Obama’s autobiography, instructions to make sure her young son would be taken regularly to visit Davis while she was in Indonesia.
Obama mentions “Frank” 22 times in his autobiography, “Dreams from My Father,” without using his full name.
Gilbert believes the only scenario in which Obama’s weekly visits as a child to Davis’ home would make sense is if Davis was the biological father
Much of what Obama has told the American public of his childhood has been proven false, he said.
“We now know that the family did not stay together in Hawaii until 1962, when the Kenyan Barack Obama went to Harvard to begin his graduate studies as Obama claimed,” said Gilbert. “Ann Dunham took her infant son with her to Seattle a few weeks after his birth and began studies at the University of Washington, while the Kenyan Obama remained in Hawaii for another year before leaving for Harvard.”
The evidence, he said, “points to the conclusion that Ann Dunham’s relationship with the Kenyan Obama was a sham marriage designed to cover up an illicit affair with Frank Marshall Davis in which an infant was conceived.”
Obama’s election was not a sudden political phenomenon, Gilbert maintains.
“It was the culmination of an American socialist movement that Frank Marshall Davis nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii and has been quietly infiltrating the U.S. economy, universities and media for decades,” he said. “To understand Obama’s plans for America, look no further than communist Frank Marshall Davis.”

just talking about the two photos sitting on the bench, the one without Obama is fucking clearly photoshopped. LOL that the guy made the video without seeing that. You should have seen that before just buying into it. Now on the first photo you posted, that's really odd looking.

You're nuts. The only thing I see wrong is that the pic without Obama is photoshopped.
Not to mention the photoshopped picture without Obama has grandma and grandpa all the way to the left. Most people take family photos by centering the subject like the picture with Obama. I guess whoever took the picture decided to get artsy huh? lol...

The arm is at a weird angle in the one with him, compared to the hand.
Anyway, what is your take on the white mom/black hand photo?

Its fake.
of course it is
and he was really born in Kenya and he really want to collapse the country
jeebus it must suck to be you
I really actually kind of feel sorry for you

The arm is at a weird angle in the one with him, compared to the hand.
Anyway, what is your take on the white mom/black hand photo?
There's nothing wrong with the arm and hand. Where Obama's arm is against him, it means his upper arm is pretty far back, probably behind the bench. So that looks about right if the shot was taken as he was about to put his hand on Obama's shoulder. Yes you can do 3333's experiment in the mirror and see this. If his arm was hanging straight down, 3333 would be right.
On the black hand pic, as I said above, that's just strange. It looks fake to me. But one thing Obama might be doing is putting little things like this out there on purpose. They know the right and especially the conspiracy minded right are going nuts looking over every little thing. Maybe they darkened the hand knowing a big deal would made about it, then they show the negatives to the press later. The only reason I think this is possible is that Obama pulled this style of a fast one just this week. The right went nuts about Obama saying he doodles at high level meetings. It was posted all over the place when I searched it. Well then it came out that Reagan did the same thing which of course got posted everywhere right after the right went nuts on it. Kind of makes me think Obama said that knowing full well Reagan did it and what would happen. The process of doing this makes the right look nuts.
The right shouldn't worry about a black photoshopped hand and doodles when they have plenty to talk about. If this kind of stuff is posted on the net, followed by being debunked for the next months, it's not going to help Romney, it's going to make the right look nuts. If Obama shows up and hands his real long form birth cert to the press to hand around and look at 2 weeks before election day, the right is going to look really bad when non of that was even needed to get rid of Obama. Why take the chance when you have plenty of material.

comment from the page:
'I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. I have also appeared in photos from the 70s and have many family photos from that time taken with common cameras from that time. In comparison, I see nothing wrong with this picture other than it's old and low quality'

That is fine, but why only the fist in the side blackened like that? Also, look at the mothers face to the upper left?
-
I dont think this pic is fake. Imo. It must be a shadow. If someone went to the trouble to photoshop the whole pic. They would have done the hand as well. I dont know but it is probably a shadow and this is a fake issue to make people look stupid.
it's not even an "issue" to anyone except a handful of morons and 333 doesn't need any help looking stupid
-
There is something very wrong with the black hand photo. What that means I don't know. It could actually mean nothing. It could just mean Obama wanted more pics with his mother to show in which case who gives a shit... There's actually nothing illegal about photoshopping your mom into pics lol.... In the end run, the right is going to look stupid if this does not pay off for them and there is almost no chance that will happen on shit like this.
So in the end, yes, this pic looks wrong... Proving it is another story. You end up looking like an ass trying to prove shit you can't. If that's what you want to be doing in an election cycle, go for it lol...
My question is: why worry about this shit when there is so much to focus on that the public will respond to? 3333, there could be and probably is a negative aspect in trying to show every single thing you can find against Obama no matter how oddball it is.
These are the lessons I've learned from you all over the years. enjoy.

This is the stuff that gets the most action. I told you I post both serious and silly stuff.

This is how I feel as well, I almost feel like this may be a ploy to put the right on a fringe right on a goose chase to make them look like crazies again.

Probably to avoid discussing his record.
But take a look at his facebook page - he is getting slammed.
Even I won't leave a remark over there like some of those people are doing.

This is the first of a series of photos planned for this page. Even if you are NOT an anti-Obama conspiracy theorist, the photo on the left should serve as an indicator that all is not well, or even normal, in Obamaville.
We call this photo “Obama’s Little Photoshop of Horrors”. This photo was copied DIRECTLY from a photo that is CURRENTLY published on Obama's OFFICIAL Facebook re-election page. The ONLY alteration we made was to zoom in, do a screen capture, crop that screen capture, paste it as an inset at the bottom right, and we put a border around the inset. Then we resized it smaller to fit this page. The larger version is found here (feel free to copy or link to the larger version of this photo!). Otherwise, this is 100% unaltered from the photo published by Obama,
Some claim that the dark hand is due to a shadow. (For example, on this page, Media Matters makes that claim and then actually makes fun of those claiming this was photoshopped! Amazing! And we INVITE you to compare their snarky and sarcastic ramblings to the expert analysis here. HINT: The Frank Marshall Davis part of this discussion is a “side show” that MM uses as a convenient distraction!)
There are five reasons why a shadow and/or lighting could NOT account for this hand being black:
(1) If you'll look at the zoomed in screen capture, notice the dark shadow at the top of the hand that the hand is casting upon the shirt. You can even dimly, but clearly, see stripes of Obama's shirt showing dimly in that shadow, proving that it is a translucent shadow and NOT “more hand.” (You can’t see through a hand! In contrast, shadows are often translucent.) The ONLY way the hand could have cast that shadow upon the shirt is if the hand itself were well lit.
(2) For this hand to have cast such a shadow upon Obama's shirt places most of the visible portion of this hand slightly, yet distinctly, in front of Obama, NOT under his armpit. This proves that it was well exposed to room lighting.
(3) If the hand was in a shadow, then how does that shadow magically contour to the shape of the hand, leaving other adjacent parts of Obama's shirt quite bright?
(4) Notice how fair/white mama’s arm is to begin with. It would take extreme darkness to make that fair a complexion of skin to appear so dark. (Then consider the 2nd point above where it was proven that most of the visible portion of the hand was “well exposed to room lighting.”) Also, the little girl and the older white man BOTH (a) have skin tones which are NOT nearly so fair-complected as mama, and (b) both of them are standing VERY close behind Obama, causing them to be somewhat in Obama’s shadow. That makes comparisons of their skin tone to mama’s skin tone an “apples-to-oranges” comparison.
(5) Notice that the hand is a man-sized hand, and other photos Obama has released of his mother do NOT show her to have unusually large hands.
Furthermore, Mama’s arm is at an angle that is ~45 degree DIFFERENT from the orientation of the fist. The arm is oriented exactly as if her hand (the one attached to THAT arm) were clutching a flagpole that is at a 90 degree angle to the ground. Try this yourself by grabbing a broomstick that is perfectly perpendicular to the ground and holding it close to your belly. Notice the angle of your hand and arm? You’ll see that this position matches mama’s arm, but doesn’t match her black fist. Instead, Mama’s fist is actually ~45 degrees off from that position. Her black fist is angled like a poker player who is hiding her cards from an opponent who is walking behind her as he returns to the poker table. Each position is exclusive. You can’t have BOTH your clenched fist at the angle shown in the photo AND still have your arm at the angle shown in the photo, or vice-versa. That is physiologically impossible. The wrist can move back and forth, but cannot rotate. Such rotation is accomplished at the elbow, rotating the arm and hand in tandem. (UPDATE: Recently, in the comments section for the original photo posted on Obama’s FB page, someone trying to argue against the analysis found here inadvertantly/mistakenly pointed out the following: If this hand was tilted at an angle that matched the arm it is attached to, then the thumb would almost certainly be visible! Yet the thumb is NOT visible. We are grateful to that person for helping to prove our point, even if they didn't intend to provide such service.)
Plus, mama’s forearm is disproportionately long! You can see that when you view the panned back (i.e. NOT zoomed in) photo.
Also, notice the very bright light (like outside light) hitting Mama’s right side (our left)... and notice how “washed out” she looks, as if she were from a different photo! Perhaps that was copied from a photo taken outside on a sunny day? Yet, mysteriously, the right side of Obama's face (our left) is somehow missing that bright light. Instead, the light hitting his face is distinctly LESS bright and from head-on (i.e. NOT from the side). Yet, according to the positioning of her black fist, mama is standing mere inches away from Obama! For that to be legitimate, there would need to be an extremely tall window nearby where bright sunlight shined through and hit mama, but missed Obama. However, for THAT to happen, there would ALSO need to be a resulting shadow across the floor, showing that bright sunlight cutting off between mama and Obama. Such does NOT exist! (The original photo Obama published, without the inset, shows this better--and even that attempt at an explanation is already “a stretch!”) Therefore, the lighting can ONLY be explained by photoshopping.
Here is why mama is NOT wearing dark gloves: Others claim this is due to her wearing dark brown gloves. That is also impossible because, when you look at the close-up, notice that the bare knuckles have a lighter skin tone, as naturally occurs when a fist is clenched. THAT couldn’t happen if this was due to wearing dark brown gloves, even tight fitting ones. (You can also just barely make out some tendons and/or veins at the top of the hand, going from the knuckles to the wrist, shaped in a way that is natural for the back of a bare hand.)
Therefore, this was a photoshopped photo intended to hide the identity of the person to whom that black hand belongs. Or, another possibility is that they were not trying to hide the black man, but simply needed this image of Obama copied from another real photo to create this fake one?
Some have speculated that the hand belongs to Frank Marshall Davis. But even if that is true, that does NOT prove that Davis is Obama’s real father, as some believe. Certainly, (1) ONLY creepy people need to create fake family photos, and (2) whoever photoshopped this made a HUGE dumb mistake (or was trying to get Obama caught?). At the least, this is further evidence of Obama creating fake family photos to back up an embellished biography. Various allegations, floating around the Internet, of such photoshopping in official Obama family photos... now seem to have been validated by this very obviously-photoshopped photo.
Does the existence of this photo PROVE that EVERY conspiracy theory about Obama is true? OF COURSE NOT! ...but maybe... maybe... this proves that there is more going on here than many realize. Maybe, at least one of those theories has more truth to it than many thought possible? Think about it!

Pretty obvious the one WITH Obama is the original.
You can see how they shopped the area down around their legs in spots.
Sorry dude.
