Does Historical Coincidence Unravel Obama's Legitimacy?

I have this nasty habit of researching things that I take an interest in; I’ve been that way forever. I think I learned more from researching topics on my own than I did from formal schooling. I read a book, see a movie, hear an abbreviated news report, and bang I’m at the family encyclopedia, at the library, nowadays online.

Well, there I was, in my kitchen slurping up some hot delicious soup and reading the tail end of a "new" Sam Spade novel written under license by a Dashiell Hammett biographer, Joe Gores. The story includes a fictional Chinese woman who claims to be the daughter of Sun Yat-sen, the real-life "father" of nationalist China. The overall Spade story takes place in San Francisco in the period between the end of WWI and the start of the Depression – it’s meant as a prequel to the Sam Spade “Maltese Falcon” novel.

I’m a bit rusty on my Sun Yat-sen legacy, so to brush up on his background and chronology of events I googled “Sun Yat-sen.” At the top of the Wikipedia page, and again in a section titled “Early Years,” Sun’s birth date and then birth place is listed as November 12, 1866 in Guangdong province (16 miles north of Macau), in the Empire of the Great Qing of China.

Sun Yat-sen’s history goes on to relate how “after receiving a few years of local school, at age thirteen, Sun went to live with his elder brother, Sun Mei, in Honolulu. Sun Mei, who was fifteen years Sun Yat-sen's senior, had emigrated to the Hawaiian Islands as a laborer and had become a prosperous merchant.” According to the listed birth date the year that Sun went to Hawaii was 1879.

Everything jives with the new Spade novel; Joe Gores did his homework.

A bit more reading about Sun reveals that he eventually graduated from a small Hawaiian college and then returned to his native land, China. It’s at this point that Sun Yat-sen’s history took on a dramatic story twist, a twist that has absolutely nothing to do with Sam Spade, but it may be the key to solving a mystery story of its own - a story that has been simmering at the top of our national news ever since Barak Hussein Obama’s name began being bandied about as a presidential candidate.

Sun Yat-sen's Hawaiian Birth Certificate

It seems that around the turn of the century – the old one – 1900 or 1901, Sun Yat-sen returned to Hawaii. It was at this time in his life that Sun was involved in politics and trying to free China from it’s dictatorial monarchy. In 1904, Sun obtained a “Certificate of Hawaiian Birth,” issued by the Territory of Hawaii, stating he was born on November 24, 1870 in Kula, Maui. (See the Wikipedia entry at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Yat_Sen#cite_note-17)

The discrepancy of birthdates didn’t startle me, but the significance of the document’s meaning did.

It has been said that Barak Obama, current president of the United States of America was not born in Hawaii or anywhere in America, as claimed by him and his supporters; thereby invalidating him to run for and hold the office of the President of the United States. For some peculiar reason, while a candidate for president must produce income tax records, he or she is not required to produce a genuine birth certificate.

Obama himself doesn’t respond to the issue, which could be answered by simply providing a legally acceptable copy of a genuine birth certificate. Instead, what has been circulated is something that is called a "Certificate of Live Birth" from the State of Hawaii. It sort of sounds the same, but even the State of Hawaii doesn’t say that a “Certificate of Live Birth” is just the name for the document that is otherwise known as a “Birth Certificate.” There is a distinctive difference. (Sun Yat-sen’s Certificate of Hawaiian birth can be found online at

Some argue that proof of Obama’s Hawaiian birth can be found in the birth announcements of local Hawaiian newspapers. But, birth, death, and marriage announcements can be phoned in or submitted by mail. In today’s identity-theft, security-conscious world it may require some institutional or quasi-governmental documentation to get one of these announcements published, but at the (alleged) time of Obama’s birth America and Hawaii was a very different place. Newborns were not immediately assigned social-security numbers and I have the feeling that finger and sole prints were not regularly being taken.

So there are three, no four, conclusions that I draw from this research:

1) It's a complete and utter coincidence that Hawaii issued Certificates of Live Birth to these two politicians.

2) Every one hundred years or so Hawaii issues a “fake” birth document to someone that they would like to call a native son.

3) Sun Yat-sen is really a native-born Hawaiian of Chinese ancestry, who returned to his ancestors' homeland to fight for its freedom – something that all American-born Chinese can proudly salute.

4) Obama was not born in the U.S. and because of the circumstances regarding his mother's status he is not qualified to be president.

Other resources corroborate Sun's birth date and place as 1866 in China.
See http://www.notablebiographies.com/St-Tr/Sun-Yat-Sen.html for example.

There's one other strange but apparently true coincidence to this entire affair. Joe Gores, writer of the Sam Spade prequel, Spade & Archer, who had worked in his life as a private investigator, a repo-man, a truck driver, a logger, motel assistant manager, and of course journalist, also worked as an English teacher in Kenya, Africa, perhaps around the time of Barak Obama's birth. You know, Kenya, the country where Barak Obamas father was born and is a citizen of. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Gores)
