The mainstream media has justified ignoring this story based on a conspiracy theory chain email (politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/465) making the rounds from some African missionaries. Politifact.com examined the emailwhich claims Obama gave $1MM to Odingas campaignand declared it a pants on fire.
However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006, Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation of one (Codel Obama) (Codel Obama The Hill 9/7/2006) While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (your agent for change), who was running for President. (Senator Rebukes Kenyas Corruption Chicago Sun Times 8/29/2006) Because of his African heritage, Obama was treated as a virtual Head of State in Kenya While campaigning with Odinga, Obama was openly critical of governmental corruption under President Mibaki usually a fair, if undiplomatic, criticism from an objective observer.
However, Kibakis government has been better than mostand Odinga has his own corruption issues.( Loud and Populist, But No Political Outsider The Guardian 12/29/2007)
Obamas partisan support for Odinga was considered so transparent, that the Kenyan Government spokesman, Alfred Matua, complained of political posturing to aid Odingas election chances: It is very clear that the senator has been used as a puppet to perpetuate opposition politics,(Walking The World Stage Newsweek 9/11/06) And, we earlier thought he was mature in his assessment of Kenyan and African politics, Mutua told AFP.We forgive him because it is his first time in the Senate and he is yet to mature into understanding issues of foreign policy, he said.(Obamas Kenya Honeymoon Ends Abruptly After Graft Rebuke 8/29/06) Subsequently, Ambassador Ogingo Ogego made a public complaint to the US.(Kenyan Envoy Kicks Off Diplomatic Row My Africa 9/27/2006)
Raila Odinga subsequently lost the controversial (probably rigged) presidential election. In what appeared to manyincluding Human Rights Watch as a coordinated strategy from the top, (Violence We Fled was Planned, Say Kenyan Refugees Reuters 1/26/2008 and Kenya: Violence Planned Before Poll, Says Report The Nation 3/18/2008) his Luo supporters (a core of whom call themselves The Taliban(Ethnic Gangs Rile Kenyan Slums Newsweek 1/10/08)) engaged in what US Envoy Jendayi Frazer called clear ethnic cleansing (US Envoy Calls Violence in Kenya Ethnic Cleansing USA Today 1/30/2008) of the Kikuyu opposition.
Odingas supporters went on a rampageburning Kikuyu homes and businesses, (Ethnic Cleansing in Luoland The Economist 2/7/2008) raping Kikuyu women, and murdering everyone in their pathincluding at least 50 Christian Kikuyu woman & children who had sought refuge in a church. They burned them alive. (Mob Burns Kenyans Seeking Refuge In Church CNN 1/10/2008)
We have evidence that ODM [Odingas party] politicians and local leaders actively fomented some post-election violence, Georgette Gagnon, acting Africa director for the New York based Human Rights Watch (HRW), said on Thursday. (Violence We Fled was Planned, Say Kenyan Refugees Ibid) So: who is Raila Odinga that Senator Obama would expend his political capital and risk the goodwill of half the population of Kenya?
Their relationship is unclear. The BBC initially reported that Obama and Odinga were first cousins.(Odinga Says Obama is His Cousin 1/8/2008) The Obama campaign has since denied a familial relationship. Raila Odingas father Oginga Odinga was leader of the Kenya Peoples Union and perceived as a committed socialist (Oginga Odinga: Kenyas Most Persecuted Politician Kenya: Key Issues 8/21.2002). Odinga Sr. was also the political ally of fellow Luo; Barack Obama Sr.(The Risks of Knowledge (Ohio University Press, 2004) p. 182)
What we do know about Odinga is not good. A former Minister of Energy, Odinga is reported to have been set up in the oil business by the al Bakri Group and Muammar Quaddafi (How Rich is Raila-The ODM Kenya Presidential Aspirant? African Press 4/26/2007) Abdel Qader Bakri (or- Abdulkader al Bakri) was listed on the infamous Golden Chainan internal Al-Queda list of wealthy Saudi financial sponsors seized by Bosnian police in a Islamic charity raid in 2001. (Terrorist Financing Staff Monograph 9/11 Commission and The Golden Chain) According to his website, Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany, (Herder Institute, Leipzig & Otto von Guericke Tech. Institute, Magdeburg) (http://www.raila07.com) Odingas eldest son is named Fidel (http://www.raila07.com)
Perhaps most troubling is Odingas links to Islamic extremists in Kenya. According to Voice of America and the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, on 8/29/07, Odinga signed a secret agreement (exposed 11/27) with Sheikh Abdullah Abdi of the National Muslim
Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) in which he agreed to institute Islamic law in exchange for Abdis support (eakenya.org)thereby potentially disenfranchising and curtailing the liberties of millions of Christian Kenyan women. Further, he promised that Muslims suspected of terrorism would be safe from extraditionthereby establishing a safe haven for terrorists in Kenya.
After the public outcry, Odinga denied signing a secret agreement. Angry at Odingas apparent repudiation, a member of NAMLEF subsequently released the agreement to the press. Odinga then claimed the document was a forgery, but acknowledged a secret agreement had been signed in exchange for Muslim support. Finally, under constant pressure, Odinga released what he claimed was the actual document (Real MOU) a considerably watered down version of the original; but still anathema to many Christian groups. In response to the revelations, The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya released a statement in which church leaders said Raila, in both MOUs, comes across as a presumptive Muslim president bent on forcing Islamic law, religion and culture down the throats of the Kenyan people in total disregard of the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of worship and equal protection of the law (Concerns Raised Over Alleged Vow To Enforce Islamic Law in Kenya Christian Post 12/18/2007) To many westerners, the idea of imposing Sharia in a predominantly Christian country may have seemed fanciful. However, Kenya has had Sharia courts for family law (not criminal law)called Khadi courtssince 1963.
For the US and the war on terrorthe most worrisome sectioncontained in both agreements concerns extradition (or renditions) of suspected terrorists to the US and elsewhere. The Kibaki government had been a leading supporter of the USs efforts to dismantle Al-Queda cells in Kenya (National Commission of Terrorist Attacks on the United States- 9/11 Report) and elsewhere. Raila Odinga made opposition to the governments crackdown of suspected Al Queda supporters a cornerstone of his campaign In Kimanthis view, only some of the leaders were Al Queda sympathizers. The renditions- along with frequent police sweeps on the Swahili coast-had become an emotional issue in the presidential race. Islamic outrage had placed the incumbent, Kibaki, on the defensive and provided Raila Odinga with a tool to rally the support of Kenyas Muslims. (The African Front New York Times Magazine 12/23/2007) And, Our government will not be held at ransom to extradite Muslims to foreign lands, Odinga told supporters in the coastal city of Mombassa. This government is behaving as if it is still a colony. (Outcome of Kenyan Election Could Impact Anti-Terror Cooperation CNSNews.com 10/17/2007)
So, how much of a national security concern is this? Well, actually: huge proximity to the volatile states including Somalia and Sudan have made Kenya especially vulnerable, in the views of counterterrorism experts, to the call for jihad. Since the early 1990s, the mosques of Mombasa and other towns have resonated with militant Islamic rhetoric. Radical imams have preached violence against Westerners, attacked the Kenyan government as the lackey of the United States and Israel and called for the implementation of Shariah. Members of the Qaeda cells that blew up the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania were recruited in mosques near the Indian Ocean beaches [in Kenya] (The African Front , ibid)
At no point has Senator Obama tried to distance himself from Odinga. Odinga visited Obama on a fundraising tour of the US in 2007 and it is believed that political strategist Dick Morris assisted in Odingas presidential campaign- gratis- at Obamas request (Morris only acknowledged the suggestion came through mutual friends). (Bridges Burned in US, Political Kingmaker Hits Africa ABC News 11/20/2007) Odinga has claimed that he and Obama speak regularly and whether this is true or not the similarities between their campaigns are startling. (Kenya Tests New Style of Politicking The Washington Post, 12/22/2007)
In fairness to Senator Obama, after Kenya erupted into violence ( and at the request of Condoleezza Rice), Obama did record a message . calling for calm and had ..near daily conversations with the US Ambassador and Raila Odinga (The Demons That Still Haunt Africa TIME magazine 1/10/2008). Perhaps not surprisingly, President Kibaki apparently declined to take his call. Kibakis not the only one no longer filled with enthusiasm for Senator Obamas brand of diplomacy. As Nicholas Kristof reported (with some surprise) in February: You might think that all Kenyans would be vigorously supporting Mr. Obama. But Kenya has been fractured along ethnic lines in the last two months, so now Mr. Obama draws frenzied support from the Luos ethnic group of his ancestors, while many members of the rival Kikuyu group fervently support Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Obamas Kenya Roots New York Times 2/24/2008)
Curiously, it has been the Kenyan press (almost alone) who have realized the potential implications: this is what may be the most memorable effect of the ODMs [Odingas party] post-election campaign for State House. The longer their protests last, and the less disciplined they are - or the more atrocities like Eldoret [church massacre] are conducted in the partys name- the more likely Kenya is to be stuck on the front pages of the worlds media and the more embarrassment it will bring to the Senator. (The Kiss of Death, How Kenya Could Spoil It For Obama KenyaImagine 1/13/2008)
Clearly, Obama campaigned for someone who is corrupt, ruthless and has financial ties to terrorists. More importantly, Obama campaigned for a candidate who had the stated objective of dismantling US & Kenyan government efforts to root out Al Queda and other terrorist organizations. Organizations that had already caused the deaths of hundreds of Americans and Africans in embassy bombings. Senator Obamas actionsintentional or notwere in direct conflict with the efforts and interests of US national security. I think this raises serious questions about the judgment, maturity and readiness of Senator Obama.

bfl
We need to flood radio talking heads now...
A lot of us have been convinced for some time that the Obama/Odinga connection is, by far, the most dangerous element of Obama. It may not be the “smoking gun”, but it’s pretty damning circumstantial evidence of the Manchurian Candidate aspect of Obama. Being circumstantial rather than direct, Obama must either explain it away or ignore it—he cannot directly deny it. He did appear in Kenya and actively campaign for Odinga—even during some of the worst massacres of Christians in modern history. I am sure Obama watched with glee.
The Odinga connection is significantly more dangerous than Ayers, Alinsky, Marshall, Farrakhan, Wright, and every other Obama supporter put together. Obama is not merely someone with ties to terrorists, people. Obama IS a terrorist. With a single phrase at the appropriate hour, he will do everything in his power to unleash his unhinged followers to burn this country to ashes—whether or not he wins the election.
Great article, carefully researched!!! If every American read this, zerObama would lose and lose big.
...and did it on US taxpayer funds. DISGUSTING.
The relationship between Obama and Odinga is not something Obama denies. Many people knew about, including the media. No one wanted to cover it.
Dick Morris is widely seen as a F__K up in US political parties. He is avoided like the palgue because of his inability to be loyal.
Dick went to Kenya to prove to his detrators in the US that he is indeed as brilliant as he himself suspects, and for a share in the Somali Coucils oil money from its terrorist supporters. Gonna show how he can "save Africa" in a neo colonialist political move that caused genocide in Kenya's tribal political system.
" They cheated" caused thousands of deaths as Chicago neo colonial black nationalist politics raised its ugly head, dedicated to make Kenya into a Muslim nation , in line with the African Caliphate Movement.
This would have made a continuous Muslim geography from Somalia to Sudan as Muslim radicals prepare to hook up with the thugs in Darfur, and make Kenya their satellite.This is powered by oil money.Morris and Obama became very rich men from this fiasco. Thousands of Kenyans were displaced from their homes. Hundreds if not thousands were maimed and raped. At one point the Luo tribal "Orange Party" ( Muslims ) burned a church full of 70 people: old men, women and children seeking refuge and safety.
I believe that Morris and Obama committed crimes against Kenya and should be brought to justice.Obama as a sitting US senator directly interfered with the politics of Kenya in a way that usurped US foreign policy. He should be behind bars.
This is the hope and change that Obama promises to America: racial/ethnic balkanisation, demographic warfare, and violence, just like Kenya.

MOHAMED ABDI(WALI)..AN ASPIRING MANDERA EAST MP
Ex-Marine Mohamed Abdi (left) with US Senator Barrack Obama is slated to kick-off his bid to become a member of Kenyan parliament Minneapolis, MN (HOL) -
He grew up in the Somali-inhabited Northeastern region (NFD) in Kenya.Hes fluently multilingual in English, Swahili and Somali. Hes a dual U.S and Kenyan citizen, who can probably easily obtain a Somali citizenship.
Abdi was the Muslim and youth volunteer coordinator for Ellisons campaign.Youve the chance to put your hopes to merit by supporting Abdi, Ellison told the Saturday crowd, as he extolled Abdi. Ive seen him working very hard for months.Make investment in a better world by helping this young man become [an MP] in Kenya.

Indeed, Ellisons primary victory over fellow Democrats, which was crucial to his general election victory, was in part credited to an unprecedented turnout by Somali immigrants in south Minneapolis(USA).

Barack Obama with Mohamed Abdi, Somali muslim candidate for Mandera East, Kenya.
Whats surely pioneering, however, is the picture on the front page of his website, which shows him with Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, a son of a Kenyan immigrant, and Democratic virtuoso believed to be running for president in 2008.
Another presidential hopeful that Abdi met with is Raila Odinga, who recently was here to stump Kenyans in Minnesota. Odinga, who hails from the same Luo tribe that Obamas father hails from, is considered a front-runner for the top job in Kenya.
thanks, don’t know how that happened, my comment got itself posted before it was completed...
You bet patriot. We are going to have this discussion before the election.
Oh boy, Thanks!!
U can’t wait. Of course the media will avoid this like the plague.

I’m frustrated with this story above all else regarding Obama.
The URL below is excellent.
http://forums.hannity.com/showthread.php?t=982951
It’s heart breaking that young children were killed with hatchets, barricaded and burned alive in a church. But also, young children were raped. Boys as young as 5 years old sodomized! THANK YOU SENATOR OBAMA!
ODINGA CLAIMS HE’S A CHRISTIAN! You can do that as someone of the Islamic faith if it furthers your cause! Does that worry anyone else but us in this house?
I was sent a quote today I’ll post at the end. Our citizens are following this man like sheep. He’s a FRESHMAN Senator, who has aided and abetted in the killing of innocents! DONE ON OUR TAX DOLLARS RESULTING IN THE DEATHS OF INNOCENT CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN! (WHEN YOU READ THE ARTICLES, NOTICE THE WORD “CHANGE”!)
If Obama wins, it will be the most dangerous and saddest day for our country. We are where we are financially BECAUSE of ACORN, because Clinton and others like him thought EVERYONE, despite their ability to pay, DESERVED a home. (Even though some of us used the good sense GOD gave us and saved for our homes, WORKED HARD for them and didn’t BUY MORE THAN WE COULD AFFORD!)
We were attacked on our own soil. Then we had two previous Presidents verbally attacking our President during a WAR! That had never been done in our nations history. Which caused probable allies to pull back.
Despite that, our stock market did fine.
Then we were hit with horrible natural disasters. But the media failed to mention that the President offered assistance BEFORE Katrina hit! His offer was deferred!
If you get a bloody nose, blame it on President Bush, but the storm that is about to hit the U.S. won’t be easy to fix.
I remind all of you, our National Guard and Military is here to protect all of us against enemies be they Foreign or Domestic!
There is something innately evil about what is brewing.
To many shady alliances, and Odinga is the icing on the cake.
Obama violated the Logan Act. No question about it. Yet? NOTHING.. not on the news, not done to him by the congress! People died, and his peers turned a blind eye...
I leave with this quote for all to ponder.
According to The Book of Revelations:
The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
We could change this from happening if we CHOOSE to.
We’ve been talking our heads off. NOW isn’t the time to give up. Look at your little ones. Think of the little ones in Kenya. They didn’t stand a chance, and Obama didn’t give a care. It was ALL political to him.
The first 3 links to the Odinga video have been pulled.
We started pumping the Odinga video at 1000 hits, it went to 370,000 with the counter being stuck various times.
It was getting almost 2000 hits an hour, wptg the originator of the video had his youtube account pulled after he re-made it.
The Odinga video is scary and a vote switcher, the Obots don’t want it to see the light of day.
Why won’t Hannity touch this one, there’s plenty of recent video of Obama campaigning with him??? The Dick Morris Connection? Something more nefarious?
Odinga is a big deal, what kind of person with what kind of judgement supports a lunatic like Odinga.
Jerome Corsi is nowhere to be found either.
