SECRET CABINET PAPERS
How Kenya’s best kept secret became a hotbed of insurgents
By John Kamau
Dateline: Saturday, December 12, 1964. At around 3 pm, just as Kenya turned into a republic, the newly sworn-in President Jomo Kenyatta’s convoy drove from State House, Nairobi to the flag-decked Thika Road to officially open what he described as "Kenya’s best kept secret" and Jamhuri Day’s "big surprise" – the so-called Lumumba Institute. He didn’t know it was a communist school of politics designed to topple him.
Forty years later, questions are still asked about how the new Vice President, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, managed to trick Kenyatta to approve a plot to topple him. It was a move that not only left top schemer Tom Mboya dazed but also confused Kenyatta’s inner circle — composed of Mr Mbiyu Koinange, Mr James Gichuru, and Dr Njoroge Mungai.
And when they realised what had happened they threw senior Chinese and Russian "spies" stationed at the institute out of the country. Others simply disappeared....

Read every word of the following link carefully: it is the agreement Obama’s first cousin (Raila Odinga) made with the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) should he win the presidency. This is the would-be Islamofascist dictator Barack is backing in Kenya!:

Bump.
ping!
Hussein Obama sought his family roots. He rejected his mothers side and embraced the Islamic, slave running, Marxist terrorist, paternal heritage.
He embraced his fathers roots and his Black Liberation Theologian mentor, the Wrong Reverand Wright.

ODumbo’s story gets more interesting every day...
Sorry Beckwith, I was not drawing your attention to the agreement between Odinga and NAMLEF, as I already know you know about that. I was pinging you to the main article, which should prove to be a bombshell (espcially when considered along with the above mentioned agreement). Can’t wait to see what happens when the other blogs, conservative newspapers, talk radio, and Fox et al get ahold of this!
Interesting? Intersting! Scary’s the word to describe Obama’s Manchurian candidacy!!!
¡Sí, Se Puede !
How much worse is that than our current administration apparently taking orders from Mexico?
Odinga is not Obama’s first cousin. To be Obama’s first cousin Odinga must be the son of one of Obama’s parents siblings or vice versa.
That is clearly not the case.
Big deal. Dick Cheney is also Obama’s cousin.
I have tried to advise fellow freepers not to trust pro-Kibaki propaganda. Digging up stories from the sixties does not help. The best way for African Leaders to obtain aid money during the Cold War was to alternate between posing as Marxists and Capitalists. There were only a few true socialists like Nyerere in Tanzania.
Even Mobutu dabbled with the Chinese (they build one or two stadiums in Kinsasha). Idi Amin was friendly with Israel until syphilis induced madness took over him - he then moved over to Gaddafi. Siad Barre of Somalia rapidly alternated between East and West (all that mattered to him was competition with Haile Mengistu Miriam in Ethiopia). The Zambians were ‘marxist’ when Mao helped them build railways, subsequently pro-western, now pro-chinese because of investment in copper mines.
==Odinga is not Obama’s first cousin. To be Obama’s first cousin Odinga must be the son of one of Obama’s parents siblings or vice versa.
Straight from the horses mouth. Either Odinga is lying, or he’s Obama’s first cousin:
“Opposition leader Raila Odinga, who lost the election to incumbent Mwai Kibaki, said that his first cousin Barack Obama had called him twice to express his concern, ‘despite being in the middle of the very busy New Hampshire primary.’”

Who is the current government of Kenya and are they a current ally of Western countries?
Secondly is Obama supporting a coup by a Sharia Law Taliban like dictatorship?
I’d say setting up a headquarters to overthrow the government of Kenya on behalf of the Soviets/Red Chinese is just a little different than accepting assistance for railways, etc. Also, Odinga’s son (Raila Odinga), and Obama’s apparent first cousin, was educated in Soviet controlled East Germany, named his son after Fidel Castro, and is currently attempting to accomplish the same feat as his father: THE OVERTHROW OF KENYA’S GOVERNMENT, and the installation of an Islamo-Marxist dictatorship with the full support of our would-be Commander-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama.

Come to think of it, why is Condi trying to force the Kenyan government into a coalition with these terrorist bastards??? This is exactly what the Communists want.

Excellent find! If you know how to post all those pictures, feel free to post them on this thread—especially the one where he is posing with Islamo-Commie Odinga!
Done. :)
Mohamed Abdid, also known as Mohamed Wali, worked for the Keith Ellison campaign. Mohamed is an ex US Marine.
Obama supported Mohamed Abdid, a Somali muslim/arab in his bid for election in Kenya.

EXCERPT:
Here is the truth about Mr. Obama’s name, and his father’s ancestors:
True Negro tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father’s decision to name him with an Arabic name is a matter of his father establishing his ethnic identity in Africa - it is done deliberately to separate him from the African tribes. He may live among them, but he is not one of them. His father’s message is that he is Arabic, not Negro.
Many will find these truths unsettling. I’m often asked, “But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?”
The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father’s name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father’s side. They are all Arabic.
Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region...
This is HOT!!!
I’m Barack Obama’s cousin says Raila Odinga
By Mike Pflanz in Nairobi
Last Updated: 2:49am GMT 11/01/2008
Kenya’s defeated presidential challenger Raila Odinga has claimed to be a cousin of Barack Obama and said that they had discussed his country’s post-election violence.
Kibaki offers talks with Kenyan rival Odinga
Obama senses victory as voting begins
Mr Odinga, 63, said that the US senator’s father, from western Kenya’s Luo tribe, was his maternal uncle.
Mr Odinga (right) says that Senator Obama’s late father was his uncle on his mother’s side
“He has called me to talk about the destabilising constitutional crisis in this country, despite being in the middle of the very busy New Hampshire primary,” Mr Odinga said yesterday.
Mr Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs confirmed that the senator spoke to the Kenyan opposition leader on Monday afternoon for about five minutes before going into a rally in New Hampshire, according to Associated Press...

Thanks, FRED...your pictures add a nice touch!
Let’s see if the MSM picks up on it. I already emailed this post to Drudge, Rush, Fox, Glen Beck, etc, etc.
I forwarded the story to WorldNetDaily.com
I wonder what Hillary will do with this once it gets out?!?!?! This should help increase the chaos factor without any Republicans needing to cross over. LOL
PS On a serious note: Barack Hussein Obama is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MAN.

Excellent, excellent find Fred! If it’s not already posted on FR, you should post it immediately!!!
From a Jan. Reuter’s article: http://africa.reuters.com/wire/news/usnL08727241.html
>>>Odinga also said he was a cousin of Obama, but Obama’s uncle [Said Obama] said that the two were not directly related.
“Odinga’s mother came from this area, so it is normal for us to talk about cousins. But he is not a blood relative,” he said.
Regardless of how the truth of the blood relationship eventually pans out, the cousin aspect of this is immaterial and should be dropped from the discussion. Even if they turn out to be relatives, it’s an accident of birth that has no bearing.
What IS salient here is that Obama has chosen to campaign for Odinga and endorses the man and his agenda.
The Obama campaign would like nothing better for people to focus on the cousin angle. Instead of addressing the alarming implications of Obama’s endorsements of Odinga, they get to argue the accuracy of the blood-relationship story.
It’s a sweet set-up. If the claim is true, they get to (rightly) point out that we can’t choose our relatives. If the claim is false, they get to play the old “discredit one small aspect of the story, discredit it all” ploy.
Can you point us to recent comments by Obama showing his support for this guy?
Also, can you tell us about the make-up of the current Kenyan government?
I’m not doubting you, but we need more specifics. Family relationship does not a scandal make.
ping!
Let’s leave blood relationships out of the discussion. I hope I don’t have to answer for the sins of all my ancestors.
OK, so what?
Does it make it right for Obama to support such a murderous thug?
Obama's support for Odinga is the issue here, not the relationship.
Didn’t I read somewhere on here yesterday that Odinga’s mother was a sister of Obama’s father? That would have made them first cousins—and Odinga’s father, Obama’s uncle.
On Kenyan radio, Obama urges calm
News & Observer, The (Raleigh, NC) - January 30, 2008
Author: Shashank Bengali, Mcclatchy Newspapers
NAIROBI, Kenya — Post-election tribal violence claimed its first political victim Tuesday — a young opposition lawmaker — as Sen. Barack Obama and former United Nations leader Kofi Annan urged Kenyans to find a peaceful solution.
Obama , D-Ill., whose late father was Kenyan, spoke on a popular FM radio station and urged President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga to negotiate without conditions.
“To refuse to do so ignores the will of Kenyans and the urging of the united international community,” the Democratic presidential candidate said on Nairobi’s Capital FM. “Now is the time for Kenya’s leaders to rise above party affiliation and past divisions for the sake of peace.”
More than 800 people have died in the violence in recent weeks after Kibaki claimed victory in an election that neutral observers say was rigged.
At talks presided over by former U.N. Secretary-General Annan on Tuesday, neither Kibaki nor Odinga signaled that he would give up claims to the presidency.
“I wish to pledge my support, and that of my entire government, to this process,” Kibaki said at a brief opening ceremony. When the 76-year-old president finished speaking, Odinga didn’t applaud.
Mugabe Were, a freshman member of parliament, is the first politician to die since the violence began a month ago. Were was shot as he arrived at his home in a middle-class Nairobi suburb shortly after midnight. As he waited for the gate to open, two gunmen dragged him out of his car and shot him in the head and chest, according to news reports.
A shadowy gang known as the Mungiki, whose members come from Kibaki’s Kikuyu community, claimed responsibility. The group, which is notorious for cultlike rituals and beheading its victims, also threatened several top political journalists, according to the news network KTN.
Odinga blamed Were’s killing on government supporters.
“This is an attempt at blackmail, intimidation of our members to succumb to an illegitimate, illegal regime,” he said.
Were, 39, was a popular civic activist who established an orphanage for HIV-affected children in the poor Nairobi neighborhood of Dandora. He had been elected last month as part of Odinga’s slim majority in the parliament. News of his death brought opposition supporters into the streets of Dandora, where they set Kikuyu-owned homes and businesses ablaze.
Seek peace, Obama urges Kenya
Chicago Tribune (IL) - January 9, 2008
Author: Mike Dorning, Tribune national correspondent
While campaigning in New Hampshire this week, Barack Obama worked the international phone lines to urge an end to the violence that erupted in his father’s home country of Kenya following disputed election results there.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday at a doughnut shop in Manchester, Obama said he had contacted Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga by telephone Monday and hoped to also speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.
Kibaki was declared the winner of last week’s presidential election, but allegations of vote-rigging have been followed by widespread ethnic clashes, the burning of villages and a growing humanitarian crisis. International mediators are trying to broker a political settlement to end the violence, but Odinga said Tuesday he would not attend an unmediated meeting with Kibaki.
Obama said Odinga , who has charged that Kibaki stole the election, “indicated that he would be prepared to meet with Kibaki.”
“Obviously, he believes that the votes were not tallied properly. But what I urged was that all the leaders there, regardless of their position on the election, tell their supporters to stand down, to desist with the violence and resolve it in a peaceful way in accordance with Kenyan law,” Obama said.
“He gave me some encouraging signs,” Obama added. “I have not spoken to President Kibaki as yet, but hope to get in touch with him sometime soon and want to see if I can be helpful.”
Last week Obama taped a radio message to the Kenyan people urging calm. His advisers said he also consulted with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who has been trying to mediate in Kenya.

Obama in Africa Obama delivers civics lesson in Nairobi
News Sun, The (Waukegan, IL) - August 29, 2006
Author: By Lynn Sweet
Sun-Times NEWS GROUP
NAIROBI, Kenya - Sen. Barack Obama delivered a lecture on Monday against graft and patronage hiring, ethnic bloc voting that does not yield the best and brightest government leaders, and political families who hoard the spoils of power.
But his focus was not the scandals surrounding Chicago’s City Hall or public corruption probes in Springfield. Or the political tribes of Madigan, Stroger, Hynes and Daley.
Rather, at the University of Nairobi in a speech televised live, Obama used the platform he has as the wildly popular son of a Kenyan to tell this nation their freedom is jeopardized by public corruption.
“My own city of Chicago, Ill., has been the home of some of the most corrupt local politics in American history over the years,” Obama said, “from patronage machines to questionable elections.”
While government corruption is a “problem” in the United States, it is not at the epidemic levels it is in Kenya, Obama said.
“Here in Kenya, there is a crisis - a crisis that’s robbing an honest people of the opportunities they fought for.”
Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki ran on an anti-graft platform in 2002 but the government still has an international reputation as corrupt.
Obama did not mention Kibaki by name in his speech but raised concerns about Kenya’s slow walk to a transparent and open government when they met last Friday.
In a nation where ethnic identity is defining for many, Obama - a Luo - said “ethnic-based politics has to stop.”
It was reminiscent of his famed 2004 Democratic Convention speech where he urged the United States not to be divided between red (Republican) and blue (Democratic) states.
Kenyans vote along tribal lines; the winners, from the more populous groups, hand out patronage to their own.
“I have to tell you, that as someone who lives outside of Kenya, the notion that at this stage in the nation’s development there would still be politics primarily based on arguments between Luo, Kikuyu, Kamba and Maasi doesn’t make any sense,” said Obama , ticking off the names of the larger groups.
“Maybe if everybody was rich, we could afford to have these arguments.”
On Friday, Obama complained to Kibaki that Chicago TV crews were shaken down at customs. In Monday’s edition of the Daily Nation, the Kenyan government ran an ad with Obama ‘s name in the headline, saying allegations of corruption were “unfounded.”
The ad states customs receipts were issued. However, the CBS-2 reporting team in Kenya, Michael Flannery and Marcus Richardson, said they were never issued a receipt. Government spokesman Alfred Mutua handed them their paperwork when they went to interview him Monday.
Obama appeared with opposition leader Raila Odinga - a Luo running for president - at stops on Saturday in his father’s native district.
Mutua, in the CBS-2 interview, said Obama may have been caught up in ethnic politics with Odinga “using Sen. Obama as his stooge, as his puppet.”
