I think API was telling the truth about Michelle Obama's call, here's why...
African Press ^

Posted on 10/16/2008 4:09:29 AM PDT by dascallie

I think they were very excited to report the scoop that Barak's wife called THEM, and just transcribed the exchange. Because why would an organization/news source that promotes the ideology below intentionally do ANYTHING to hurt Obama?

See the headline article/editorial titled, "What every person of African descent should know" excerpt below:

"Today, the most detrimental system of racism adversely affecting Black America is neither police brutality, racial profiling, nor is it the Ku Klux Klan. It is instead, an elaborate, modern, and massive system of covert White racism. It is so subtle, pervasive, well-organized, complete, and proficient that it may be the single most aggravating factor behind the persistent national disparities and culture of failure now afflicting Black America; yet most African Americans are totally unaware of its existence. Most African Americans are totally unaware of this method of emitting white racism; therefore many will find it too shocking to contemplate. Nevertheless, it is directly intertwined with the extensive challenges negatively impacting Black America today.

Although the United States Government portrays itself as the leading ethical and moral authority of the world and professes equal rights for all American citizens, its oldest and most important objective has always been an unyielding commitment towards the preservation of its White dominance and control. Therefore, if the U.S. government treated its Black population in a manner which did not promote maintaining its White dominance and control, it would be diametrically opposed to itself.

I have discovered something that has made me question the purpose of this sudden API posting. It may be a diversion to draw our attention to the adoption and away from the Kenya Birth Certificate. Let me explain why I have come to this conclusion.


This is not the first once in a lifetime interview API and their Editor Kipter Korir has had the good fortune of writing about in recent months. A few months ago, API and Korir surprised the world with the interview Mr. Felicien Kabuga, a 14 year fugitive on the run for financing the Genocide in Rwanda back in 1994.


That interview was widely held to be a hoax, but it was never proven a hoax because none of the parties who wanted him arrested contacted API to accept his "Evidence" to make a deal.


This interview was the first time any story written by API was found in the Lexis database. The same is true on a search of the editor's lastname.


I then did a wayback archive search on the url for the API blog. The first postings were created in 2006 and their name at that time was APN for African Press Norway.


The reason Kenya gets brought into the picture is because Mr. Felicien Kabuga was living with his wife in Kenya for all that time. He owned extensive pieces of property in Kenya and was protected by the Kenyan police.


This information was revealed because of the API interview which supposedly occurred in Norway. This information caused the UN to Sanction Kenya and the blame was placed on the legally elected President of Kenya as opposed to Odinga, Obama's guy, cousin, or thug who by the way caused over 1800 deaths after he lost the election. More would have probably died if he wasn't appointed to lead Kenya jointly with the elected President.


At the same time that the APN/API came into existence, Obama took a trip to Kenya where he critizised the Kenyan President to help elect Odinga. Corsi confirmed this information on his recent trip and also authenticated a document that outlined the Odinga strategy to get elected.


That document also listed contributors to the campaign which includes a $950,000 contribution from Friends of Senator BO.


Even worse, it describes the actions that the campaign needed to take in the event they were going to lose and they did,


Ethnic Tensions/Violence as a last Resort


1. Prepare ground for rejection of Unfavourable results


2.Increase interest in monitoring activities to ensure no rigging happens


3. Deflect attention from ourselves should opportunities be available to manipulate voter turnout in our green areas to discourage voter participation in hostile areas


4. Use ODM agents on the ground to engineer ethnic tensions in target areas


The result, Odinga got half of what he wanted and over 1800 people are now dead.


Now, the question is how does this fit in with Michelle Obama interview. If API is a resource that the Obama's control, they would use it to their advantage. API has already been involved in a similar interview that was never proven or disproven and that one has already been 4 months.


The Obama's only need three weeks to string this along. In the meantime, they have focused our attention on the Adoption issue and away from the Kenya Birth Certificate issue and when the time is just right, they are going to pull the rug out from under us.


The API website story will be proven false and the Republicans will be made to look like racists for wanting to believe that Michelle Obama could say such things.

Yes folks, we know you can’t see it, or hear it, or have experienced it, but trust us. IT IS THERE!

No wonder we can’t get past this for God sake!

And I must have missed the meeting of the covert white people instructing me how to keep the black man down. I was never trained either. I am falling down on the job and need help with this super secret White racism movement, but it’s all Whitey’s fault! I never got the memo!

Rwanda News Agency (Kigali) - AAGM June 5, 2008 Thursday


GOVERNMENT CONTACTING GENOCIDE FINANCIER 'SECRETLY' - AGENCY


About a week ago Norway-based online agency African Press International (API) published the much publicized interview with suspected Rwandan Genocide financer Mr. Felicien Kabuga.


Government of Rwanda and the UN tribunal for Rwanda are believed to have been caught off-guard - suddenly that a man with a $5million bounty on his head surfaces in an interview seeking to surrender to Rwanda. RNA put the different issues that the interview has raised to API Chief-Editor Kipter Korir, and below are the excerpts in which he reveals that government is secretly seeking to contact the man they have hunted for years.


Mr. Kipter Korir, could you just describe the circumstances leading up to the much publicized interview with Rwandan Genocide fugitive Felicien Kabuga and how you managed to secure it anyway.


Many media outlets and other institutions have treated our story on Kabuga and his presence in Norway at the time of interview with caution. It is not difficult to understand why many find it difficult to see the real picture in all that has happened, the fact that API met Mr Kabuga and even managed to secure an interview. Mr Kabuga travelled to Sweden in an effort to meet an elderly Sudanese man who is refugee in that country. While in that country, he discovered that the man he was looking for was not there. He managed, one way or another, to get information that a South Sudanese delegation led by the South Sudan President Salva Kiir was going to be in Norway for a conference.


It was at that time Mr Kabuga chose to travel to Oslo hoping the old man he was looking for in Sweden had found his way to Norway to meet his colleagues from South Sudan.


As things turned out, the Sudanese old man was not in Norway but had travelled to South Sudan. Those close to Kabuga, who met him in Norway, directed him to API's Chief Editor who happens to be a friend to the Sudanese old man. After discussions on what Mr Kabuga wanted, the parties agreed on an interview on condition, API assisted Kabuga to connect with the Sudanese old man and another man of Ugandan origin now resident in the UK, so that the two men may initiate talks with the Rwanda Government for the purposes of reaching an agreement on a conditional surrender. Both men are close contacts of API's Chief Editor.


The ICTR and Rwanda government are treating your purported interview with Mr. Kabuga as a 'hoax'. There does not seem to be anything tangible evidence to back up the interview.


API has noted that several media outlets have focused on the behaviour of the ICTR and the Rwanda government on how they have reacted to the story. As a media outlet, API does not go around distributing prove to institutions in order that those who read API articles may believe what is being written.


The Rwanda government and the ICTR has the opportunity to get in touch with API and find out the truth. The Rwanda government could have been satisfied if the Minister for Justice had taken contact and received the document that is supposed to be handed over to him in an effort to find ways and means to start talking.


When the government categorically spells out publicly that they will not talk to Kabuga, while at the same time allowing their embassy to engage in secret contacts, such public move by the government serves to destroy the spirit of the intended talks. The government should have taken time to receive the document containing important information, thereafter decide whether or not to engage in formal talks.


By doing so, the government will be showing a will to listen to Kabuga's story and make a fair judgement on whether to accept his conditions or not.


Mr. Kabuga has rarely spoken in the media directly, the only journalist who met him died later, how would he have trusted you?


API has noted that some media outlets do not have time for Kabuga because he has been accused of genocide. And yet many people tend to say an accused person is innocent until proven guilty. API has been contacted by many media outlets and other international government branches who emphasize that the only journalist who met Kabuga in Kenya died later. As far as API is concerned, nobody has come forward with clear evidence that the journalist who died was killed by Kabuga. API has understood that the murdered journalist had plans to lure Kabuga to a police trap. API has no intention to lure any accused person or persons to police traps. API will remain professional in interviews and will not be party to colluding with others to net people being searched for by any international body.


This, however, does not mean API condones any form of crimes, be it genocide or any other. We are now dealing with a man who has decided to reach out and surrender. The fact that API has become the only media to break the story does not make the story to be a hoax as some would like to have it fall into that category. Many have asked how Kabuga could have trusted API. This only leads API to believe that some have taken the narrow path that has led to underestimate Mr Kabuga. API chooses to believe that a man who has managed to hide for many years, having many friends, and buying his way for safe hiding, knows when to trust and who to trust depending on the place and timing.


Anybody that has tried to blackmail him into a trap has seen their fate. Surely, if you met Mr. Kabuga you must be very scared?


Kabuga has been accused of genocide in Rwanda. Some who have followed the genocide stories in Rwanda are saddened. And yet they must not forget that every story has two sides. Kabuga has decided to surrender because he wants to tell his side of the story to the Rwanda government. If he is guilty, it does not mean that everyone he meets has to fear for his life. API has reported a story as it is and has no reason to be afraid of the man because API has not misreported the facts. And API has not in any way held in its map to blackmail Mr Kabuga, but just to pass on the message on the request for talks geared to a conditional surrender.


The ICTR says the purported interview is just meant to disorganize its search that has been focused on Kenya to indicate that he is not there, so they are not taking the assertion that he is in Oslo seriously.


API has noted that ICTR is relaxed on the issue because they are of the opinion that Mr Kabuga is in Kenya and not Norway. Every institution has the right to believe or not, any given information at any given time. API goes by the correctness of the interview and will publicise more information on the issue when the Rwanda government decides to take the matter more seriously.


One of the last articles says Rwanda had expressed interest to move forward with possible negotiations with Mr. Kabuga. But officials here are not saying anything to that effect. How true can the public be about what you publish?


In our articles, API has categorically stated that Kabuga is not in Kenya. API has also stated that Rwanda has expressed goodwill to start the talks. API appreciates the move and thanks the Embassy of Rwanda in Belgium for taking great interest in the story and by negotiating a way to meet and get evidence on what Kabuga is presenting, all in the effort to start the talks in one of the Scandinavian countries. The communication with the embassy will soon bear fruit because, as API understands it, the participant is mandated by the Government to proceed.


From your meeting with Mr. Kabuga, how would you describe him?


On seeing Kabuga, one notices he is a tired man. It is, however, not difficult to understand that he means what he says when he now wants to go back home. His health seems to dictate the day to day program when it comes to his activities. The man is now aged and he expresses sadness for what happened to his country in 1994.


Some observers are saying the timing of your articles is very suspicious: just after the Kenyan ruling; before the ICTR is to report to the UN Security Council. The suspicion is that somebody is behind it all and you are just doing their job. Don't you think there is some reason in all this?


This is a serious matter that concerns many institutions and people. Due to the fact that Mr Kabuga is the most wanted man, and that he has not given interviews since going into hiding, has led many people to be suspicious on the timing of the articles. To think or even imagine that the timing has any hidden agenda is uncalled for, and primitive, because the interview is not one API was aware of in advance that it was going to take place. It was only after being contacted for a meeting in connection with the search for the Sudanese old man, whom Mr Kabuga wanted to meet in Oslo, that API requested for the interview and was reluctantly granted with conditions.


The ICTR wants to believe that Kabuga is in Kenya, because the institution will soon report on Kenya to the UN Security Council and the Council members may decide to impose sanctions on Kenya. having been accused of giving refuge to Kabuga. API is not in a position to change the ICTR's way of looking at things, because they have their own machinery, and if their machinery confirms to them that Kabuga is hiding in Kenya, that remains to be seen when the man resurfaces one way or another. (End)


Sound Familiar??

This is a rope and dope. Seems like API has similar views to Rev. Wright and James Cone. They are trying to set up a Memogate. Start a false story and hoping the Republicans or FoxNews runs with it.

D00d (or D00dette). This effort is sooo subtle, you have been trained without you knowing it. It is all your fault though.

There’s a video on YouTube where someone discusses the alleged telephone call by Michelle Obama with API and, let me tell you, it is anything but flattering to her.

A natural born citizen is someone who is not a foreigner and not naturalized. Obama is the former and not the latter, as a matter of fact. His Kenyan grandmother attended his birth in Kenya. To be born in a foreign country and still be considered a natural born US citizen, both parents must be American. Obama lost his citizenship when he moved to Indonesia. Not qualified to be POTUS in more ways than one.

WANTING to believe??

My Word, she ALREADY DID say such things, in her thesis!

Plus, SHE sat in that racist church for longer than Obama did in Chicago!

Perhaps you weren't meant to be a racist.

Have you considered a rewarding career in the child-starving industry?

Obama’s Farrakhan Problem
Posted by Mark Hyman on 10.16.08 @ 6:08AM

Barack Obama has a Louis Farrakhan problem and not because of his endorsement from Farrakhan. Instead, it is because of Obama’s more-than-passing association with Farrakhan and those who are close to the Nation of Islam leader.

In spite of Farrakhan’s long history as a racist, bigot and anti-Semite, Obama thought favorably enough of him to join Farrakhan’s 1995 march on Washington, D.C. Reportedly, Obama joined Reverends Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton in organizing the march.

Farrakhan’s bona fides as a purveyor of hate are well-documented. He called Jews “bloodsuckers,” Judaism a “gutter religion” and referred to Adolf Hitler as a “great man.” Farrakhan said, “The God who taught me calls the white man the skunk of the planet earth.”

Farrakhan promoted the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that “the AIDS epidemic is a result of doctors, especially Jewish ones, who inject the AIDS virus into blacks.” According to Farrakhan, blacks are prevented from progressing in the arts, sports, academia and politics because of Jews. “When I talk to the Jews, I am talking to a segment of that quorum that holds my people in their grip,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Farrakhan claimed that the POWER line of toiletry products he launched in the 1980s failed to succeed because of pressure from Jews. Obama blamed the failure of Farrakhan’s products on whites. In Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote “That the POWER campaign sputtered said something about the difficulty that faced any black business — the barriers to entry, the lack of finance, the leg up that your competitors possessed after having kept you out of the game for over three hundred years.”

This should not be quickly dismissed as merely guilt by association because the overall narrative is one of someone continually associating with a group of repugnant individuals. Consider Obama’s 20-year close relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a long-time Farrakhan supporter.

Although the United States Government portrays itself as the leading ethical and moral authority of the world and professes equal rights for all American citizens, its oldest and most important objective has always been an unyielding commitment towards the preservation of its White dominance and control.

Spewing garbage like this hurts Blacks more than anything else.

How many believe the U.S. Constitution"racist?" How many think think it established slavery, something started 150 years before it was written on these shores by the British? How many don't comprehend that the 3/5 rule was anti-slavery? How many of the even fail to understand the Constitution prohibits slavery (the 13th Amendment).

Tell a lie long enough and people will believe it's true. The Marxists did a pretty good job on our Black population.

And a lot of our White population too for that matter.

Your closest public elementary school should be able to help.
