I knew her when she was about 3 years old. I was a translator at the Indian Embassy in Brazil and her father, Shri Sushil Dubey was First Secretary. She was a tough cookie! We all loved her. Her mother was awfully beautiful. I just loved the 3 years I worked at that Embassy,,, Ana Suya Dubey is real. I knew her when she was about 3 years old.

Finally folks in states like FL, CO, OH, IN woke up and smelled the roses.....Fred, you should too!

No one knows who you are either. This story has pretty much followed the arc of any other urban myth - everybody knows some one with a friend who vouches for it, but there's never any name or reliable evidence. As far as I know, Luke is just another name for one of the other panders of this story. As for Ana Dubey, isn't it strange how she will confirm the story to any one who asks, but no independent person can find her or get anything like a confirmation that would even meet Wikipedia standards? It appears conspiracy theorists aren't limited to nut-case reactionaries! Luke, unless you authored one book of the Bible, it’s hard to see why any one should take your word as gospel.

That your enemies are guilty unless proven innocent? What proof would you even accept? Actually, no rational person will spend much time trying to prove or disprove much to most of this story's supporters. Looking at the tenor of many of the posts, even if incontrovertible proof were provided, true believers would simply migrate to the next silly. unsupported rumor. There is never any shortage of scurrilous rumor in politics. Even if this one should be disproved, I am sure none of the people spreading it will be out of circulation long.

It is amazing to me how many people say they know "Ana", yet "Ana" has yet to come forward. Why are we only hearing from "Ana's" friends or people who know "Ana". I am non-party affiliated. Months ago, when the smears on Obama landed in my inbox, I exercised my good senses and looked for answers. I do not forward these messages. I simply reply to all on the list it came from telling the senders to seek the truth prior to forwarding any email of this nature. It is wreckless for any citizen to forward something like this prior to verification. If "Ana" exists, she should have no trouble verifying this claim. All of the "friends" of "Ana" need to stop telling everyone how true this is and tell "Ana" to come forward. When I see "Ana" on any major news channel, I will happily agree, but until then, I feel like this story needs to be halted until all the facts are in. I received this story via email.
