This article, “Obama’s Genealogy and so much more” by Miles Mathis, discusses the author’s research into the genealogies of prominent figures, particularly Barack Obama, and argues that many of these lineages are deliberately obscured or fabricated to hide connections and influence. Mathis addresses criticisms of his work, defends his research methods, and asserts that attacking foundational historical narratives is crucial for understanding current events.
The author then delves into extensive genealogical research, claiming to uncover connections between Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and various historical and prominent families. He posits that Obama’s birth certificate is fake and he was likely born in Kenya, citing connections to the Stuarts and British peerage through his mother and half-sister, Dr. Rita Obama, who married Ian Manners of the Dukes of Rutland. He also traces Michelle Obama’s lineage through the Robinson and Shields lines, linking her to Abraham Spencer, a settler of Jamestown, and Lady Diana. He further suggests connections to Brooke Shields, the Vatican bankers, Sforzas, Savoys, Kings of Italy, Popes, Mary Tyler Moore, Campbells, and Maxwells.
Mathis’s central argument regarding Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, is that her name is a transposition and she is actually Ann Stanley Dunham, linking her to the Stanley and Dunham families. This, he claims, connects her to John Lennon, whose mother’s maiden name was Julia Stanley. He then explores Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Lee Payne’s lineage, noting the privacy surrounding her siblings on Geni.com.
The author details numerous purported ancestral connections for Barack Obama through the thepeerage.com website, including Kearney, Holloway, Donovan, Reeves, and Armour families. He traces the Kearneys to General Stephen Kearny and General Philip Kearny, linking them to the Watts and founders of the New York Stock Exchange. Further links are made to William Alexander, Lord Stirling, the Conway Cabal, General Horatio Gates, Sir Thomas Gates, the Virginia Company of London, and the East India Company. He also connects the Kearneys to the O’Briens, Breretons, Warburtons, Savages, Fitzgeralds, Earls of Kildare, Greys, and Plantagenets. The Armours are linked to the Stanleys, Gibsons (mentioning Mel Gibson), Fortescue family, Trotters, Bacons (mentioning Brad Pitt and Kevin Bacon), Melvilles, Brodericks (mentioning Matthew Broderick), Middletons, Stapletons (mentioning Jean Stapleton), Earls of Leven, Leslies, Erskines, Romanovs, Tsar Nikolai I, Grand Duke, Countess Galitzine, Princess Troubetzkaya, Huttons, and Macleods (mentioning Trump). The Armours are also linked to Kenya through R.C. Armour, whose daughter Daphne Armour married C.P.V. Walker (linked to Bush) in Nairobi, and Marquess Conyngham, linking to Emma Thompson, Molyneux, Tobins, Stanhopes, Pagets, and Villiers. C.P.V. Walker is associated with Tysons Ltd. in Limuru, a suburb of Nairobi. Other Armour connections include Colvilles and Stewarts of Robertoun and Kennedys.
The author re-examines Payne Stewart and his connection to George Washington and Paynes. Walkers are linked to Wirt Walker and George Herbert Walker Bush.

Taylor Swift is linked to the Clintons through Eugene Clinton Swift, Hoopes, Webb family, Renos, Renaults, Cecile Renault, Robespierre, Alexandre-Jacques Renault, Charles Lebrun-Renault, Dreyfus Affair, and François Louis Rousselet de Château-Renault.
The article then returns to Obama’s lineage through Madelyn Lee Payne, connecting to Della Lee Wolfley, Nancy Perry, and Katy Perry. Katy Perry is also linked to the Clintons. Erica “the Disconnectrix” Howton is mentioned again. Wolfleys are linked to Wolfes, Virginia Woolf, Tom Wolfe, and Naomi Wolf.

The Stanley name is revisited with John Lennon’s mother Julia Stanley, her great grandfather William Morris, Perry Ann Roberts Anderson, and the Perry connection. Julia Baird and William Morris’s background are questioned. Sir Henry Morton Stanley and his adoption story are scrutinized, as are his son Denzil Morton Stanley and wife Helen Kirk. The Parry and Perry name variations are noted. The explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza is presented as an example of someone who appears Jewish despite being presented as Italian/French, and is compared to Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) who is linked to Karl Marx. Henry Stanley’s brother is mentioned, as is Henry Hope Stanley and the conflicting accounts of his death.
The author proposes Henry Morton Stanley was a twin and linked to Baron John Stanley. This line connects to Sir John Stanley, 6th Baronet Alderley, Bishop Edward Stanley, Thomas Stanley, Earl of Derby, King of Mann, King Henry VII, Margaret Owen, Engels, Robert Owen, Maria Holroyd, Earl of Sheffield, Isaac Holroyd, Isabella Stanley, William Parry, Joshua Parry, Allen Bathurst, first Earl Bathurst, Bishop of Norwich, George Fox, and Thomas Fell.

The British Security Coordination (BSC) at Rockefeller Center and its role in promoting the Beatles is discussed in relation to Winston Churchill and John Lennon.
The article reiterates connections between John Lennon and the Stanley family through multiple Henry Stanleys and the Morton name, linking to John Maddison Morton, President Madison, Sir John Morton, 2nd Baronet Milbourne St. Andrew, Baron Ducie of Tortworth, Sir Thomas More, Lord Mayor of London, Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility, Cardinal John Morton, William Willoughby, and Baron Robert Ducie. Henry Morton Stanley’s biography is further scrutinized, including his involvement in the US Civil War with the Confederate and Union armies, his journalism career with the New York Herald under James Gordon Bennett, Jr., and his early stories like the Helen Jewett murder. Jewett’s assumed name, Dorcas Doyen, and connections to New Hampshire families like Abbots, Whittakers, and Websters of Essex County, MA (Salem) are discussed, as is “Half-hanged Mary” (Mary Webster) and the witch hoaxes. Richard P. Robinson and the Robinson family’s alleged role in hoaxes are mentioned. Nathan Weston, Ogden Hoffman, Josiah Hoffman, and the US House of Representatives are noted.

The author returns to explorer Henry Morton Stanley, discussing his expedition to find David Livingstone funded by James Gordon Bennett, Jr. and the New York Herald. The details of the expedition, the number of porters, and the date of finding Livingstone are analyzed for numerological significance. Stanley’s role in claiming the Congo for the King of Belgium and the International African Association, which is revealed as a front for Rothschilds, is highlighted. James Jameson and the Jameson whiskey fortune are mentioned, along with the disturbing incident of purchasing an 11-year-old girl.

Moritz Hochschild, Gerhard Hochschild, Berkeley, Guggenhiem Fellow, Lie groups, King Leopold’s Ghost, Rothschilds, Arlie Russell, and Berkeley spook are mentioned.
The article concludes by discussing additional research conducted after genealogy sites became unavailable. The Lee family connection is revisited through Della Lee Wolfley, her brother George Perry Wolfley, and mother Rachel Abbott Wolfley and father Jonathan Abbott. The author suggests a link to Robert E. Lee and the Randolphs and Custises, as well as Martha Washington and Jimmy Carter. Robert E. Lee’s mother Carter is mentioned. The Lees and Abbotts are linked through John Thomas Abbott, a merchant with the Levant Company, and Robert Abbott, a money lender whose wife Bethia Chapman was daughter of Jasper Chapman of the East India Company. William Abbott married Elizabeth Lee, daughter of Richard Lee, another Levant merchant. John Lee and Peter Lee are mentioned. The Lees of Hartwell are discussed, with Thomas Lee marrying Alice Hopkins, and their son William becoming Lord Chief Justice and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Robert E. Lee’s ancestors are also identified as cloth merchants from Buckinghamshire. The Lees of Lichfield are linked to King Charles II, George Washington, Bennets, Fitzroy, Pope family, Earls of Downe, Alexander Pope, Baronets of Quarendon, Baronets Lydiard Tregoze, Wilmot family, Earls of Rochester, knights from Hulcote, and The Lees of Virginia.
The Wolfes are linked to the Abbotts, with Thomas Wolfe’s lineage scrubbed. The Wolfleys and Lees are directly linked through Robert Lee Wolfley, who is noted as being scrubbed on Geni and Findagrave. This confirms the connection between the Lees and Abbotts on both sides of the Atlantic.
Finally, the article revisits Dunhams, linking Lena Dunham to Carroll Dunham. Lena Dunham is noted for her work with HBO, Lenny Letter, supported by Hearst Corporation, and her Jewish heritage through her mother Laurie Simmons (whose mother’s maiden name is scrubbed, father Simonoff, mother Rubin). Erica the Disconnectrix Howton is again implicated. Laurie Simmons’s artistic work is described as misdirection. Carroll Dunham’s art is described as “creepazoid” and pornographic, designed to destroy art and the male sex act. His lineage includes Jewetts, Warners, Lees, Haydens, Hardings, Palmers, Rogers, Bonhams, Kelloggs, Fords, Baldwins, and Clarkes. The Dunhams of Plymouth and Nottinghamshire are mentioned, with Thomas Dunham marrying Jane Bromley, daughter of Lord Chancellor Thomas Bromley, whose sister Elizabeth married Oliver Cromwell. The article suggests Lena Dunham’s parents are cousins through the Hayden line, linking back to Stanley Ann Dunham. Clemmens and Eliza Clemmens are linked to John Stroup and possibly Mark Twain.
The author concludes by urging readers to distance themselves from these figures and their “projects” as part of “Operation Chaos,” designed to financially exploit people. He contrasts staying sane within “the Matrix” with the clarity of truth, however painful.
