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.

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.
Gilbert commissioned Robert Nikolakakis, a professional graphic artist and illustrator from Montreal, Canada, to examine the photograph.

“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.

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 young her 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.”

We will never know the truth. Not waving the conspiracy flag, but there are far too many inconsistencies in his life. And he sprang from virtually nowhere...
The Minestry of Truth at work again. I can't beleive this **** is actually happening...
I think it happens more often than we realize, but not as sloppy as the current team. They know if they get caught they wont be called on the carpet about it.

I hope you are wrong. But I suspect you are correct. Perhaps it is the romantic in me still wants to beleive in integrity.
Looks pretty close to the same shade as the white guy's arm... Shadows?
Not even close. Not to mention that it is about 1/3rd too big for her arm.
But what about the chairs in the back. One on the left is brown, on the right is white...and the bars they sit on....not lined up. And the woman's hair, photoshopped, and badly.

Could the green blobs in the photo be ectoplasm from Vladimir Lenin's ghost? I think it is, no IT IS.... OMG Obama communicates with the ghosts of marxist leaders and there's is NOTHING in that photo that tells me he doesn't. I mean wow I hope that isn't the case, I mean, no way can someone make this **** up.

this is the original untouched photo from his facebook you can clearly see that it has an aged look that a photo from that time period would have. and compare it to the one posted on that website.
i feel that the original photo is of such poor quality that any improper "enhancement" could easly mislead someone about the validity of it.
as an example i have linked this showing how mars can be photoshopped to look like earth by mearly adjusting the light levels. with current technology unfortunately it is nearly impossible to assertain whether a photo has been altered other than analizing the physical original piece.

Now this made me laugh. You just can't get this kind of entertainment on the T.V.

Since we don't know what the *original* photo looks like, we have no real way to determine what was changed, or the intent. It may have been an honest attempt at cleanup, or outright forgery. But without facts, one can only wonder what is going on.
Like the copies of the birth certificate that didn't look right, you would think that as high profile as this stuff is, knowing full well they would be scrutinized, that the would be more careful to avoid even looking shady, regardless if it is or not...

Looks like a shadow to me. Unless someone finds evidence of it being retouched other than the apparent color difference or finds the original unedited photo (assuming it was edited), this is a non-story. There are enough things to not like about Obama. I don't need to go looking for reasons he needs to be defeated in Nov. He offers those himself every time he opens his mouth.
After hours of photo manipulation I was able to uncover the truth. I used many high dollar programs to do this.I present to you the finding that will rock this world. Here it is
That is because the main stream media will not publish any of Obumbles lies. You know, like his forged birthcertificate.
I still say that it's MUCH more likely that the birth certificate is in fact legit, and the real lie is that he claimed to be from Kenya in order to take advantage of additional benefits under the Affirmative Action programs for college purposes, thus the sealing of his educational records.
