Obama's Kenyan Criticism and Video

i spent hours last night emailing this link to drudge, michelle malkin, mark steyn, nro, hot air. Rush, Sean, Steyn. no bites from anyone.

Same here. I don't understand it either. What's up with this "Odinga" story???

So you just joined FR on October 17, 2008 to tell us this video is a fraud?

Which video, btw? There are several "Obama-Odinga" videos.

How can you prove it's a "fraud"?

2:45AM here in CT, I'm heading for bed. I'll look for your response tomorrow, abbotn...

This is an interesting phenom. What kinda Psych Ops Phenom is at work here?

If McCain went to Kenya it would be all over the news. Perhaps our media Overlords have spoken. If you mention the word Odinga you will be shot at dawn. The Toyko Rose Media wouldn’t touch this nuclear bomb on Obama with a 10 foot pole. Perhaps they feel it will take the Country into Racist Riots and Dark Places that no one wants to go.

Look we are all grown ups out here in the hinterland of Rubes. We can riot if we want to about what we want to riot about.

They postponed the all black rape, torture and murder of two white college students in Knoxville TN till after election to quiet tensions in Knoxville. Story on Michelle Malkin.

I have a feeling this Odinga thing falls in the same category.

Our Toyko Rose Media Overlords want Obama.

You’re a radical nut job and you’re being played for a fool.

Hey scumbag, are you saying you're OK with Obama traveling to Kenya to campaign for Odinga, the son a Soviet ally and a man who named his first child after Fidel Castro? A man who encouraged his followers as they went on a bloody rampage which resulted in the deaths of over a thousand people and the burning down of hundreds of Christian churches throughout Kenya?

The Kenya Connection [Barack Obama, Raila Odinga]
New York Sun ^ | January 10, 2008 | DANIEL JOHNSON

Whether Mr. Odinga [Raila Odinga] has ordered his men to commit murder and arson is unclear. But his own background does not exactly suggest enthusiasm for democracy and the rule of law. Mr. Odinga's father, Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany.

(snip)

In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy at rallies in Nairobi. The Web site Atlas Shrugs has even posted a photograph of the two men side by side. More recently, Mr. Odinga says that Mr. Obama interrupted his campaigning in New Hampshire to have a telephone conversation with his African cousin about the constitutional crisis in Kenya.

What should Americans make of Mr. Obama's Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America's national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga's anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.

At the time of his visit in 2006, President Kibaki's spokesman complained that Mr. Obama was behaving like a "stooge" of Mr. Odinga — which was at best undignified for a visiting American senator, and at worst unwarranted interference in the internal politics of another country.

From Atlas Shrugs:

"...this hasn't even gotten into the relationship between Obama and Raila Odinga, yet another politician who ran on the 'hope & change' theme while utilizing criminal ties, who would then stage a violent and bloody uprising when national elections didn't go his way. Somehow we don't hear much about the nightly phone calls between Sen. Obama and Raila Odinga these days..."

Kenya's first truly free and fair democratic election was in December 2002, won by Mwai Kibaki and a multi-ethnic coalition party NARC (National Rainbow Coalition). One of the leaders of that coalition was Raila Odinga.

Kibaki didn't give him positions in the new government that he felt were important enough, so Odinga formed an opposition party, ODM (Orange Democratic Movement, orange the symbol color of opposition).

When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire.

Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people have been politically murdered in the last few days.

Kenya's 37 million people are divided up into over three dozen tribes and sub-tribes, but the two dominant ones are Kikuyu and Luo. Kenyan politics since independence in 1963 has essentially been a duke-out between them.

The father of Kenyan independence and president until 1978 was Jomo Kenyatta, a Kikuyu. His main political opponent was Oginga Odinga, known as "OO," a Luo and Raila's father.

While Kenyatta was pro-West and sided with America in the Cold War, OO [Oginga Odinga, Raila's father] was a Communist who was aided and supported by the Soviet Union.

That's why Raila went to school in East Germany (born in 1945, he graduated from Magdeburg University in 1970), and named his first-born son after Fidel Castro.

Thus it likely won't shock you to learn that Raila has now made a deal for support from the Soviets' successors as world-champion enemies of the West and democratic freedoms: Moslem fundamentalists.

The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya has posted on its website a photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya.

It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila's election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two. Read them all, and be sure you're sitting down. Here's a sample:

b) Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.

g) Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions."]

Again, read all of them, for others are just as bad or worse.

It may also not surprise you that Raila is not Moslem himself, but claims to be a practicing Anglican. Only a minority of Luo are Moslem (most are Christian). Kenya on the whole is Christian, with 80% of Kenyans either Protestant or Roman Catholic, while only 10% are Moslem.

And here is the biggest non-surprise: Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a "close personal friendship" with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.

When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi:

Fidel Odinga: Walking in his father’s political struggles

Published on 29/08/2008
By Martin Mutua

Fidel Castro Odinga. The first-born son of Prime Minister Raila and Ida Odinga.

He bears the burden of history, as embodied in his name that’s drawn from another continent, era and meaning.

Fidel Castro Odinga, 33, the first-born son of Prime Minister Raila and Ida Odinga understood his destiny early in life.

He is a politician’s child bearing a political name immortalising former Cuban President, and grew up in political turbulence in Kenya.

"I can tell you it was a scaring experience … when my mother was thrown out of a Kenya High School house where she was working as a teacher, purely on political reasons."

That was the 1980s and Kenya was in a restive mood. Raila was in detention, having earned the ire of the authorities as coup plotter. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Fidel’s grandfather, had been placed under house arrest.

Raila’s long spells in prison meant Fidel did not see much of his father. His friends say the experience hardened him.

Yet others believe Fidel’s close association with his mother turned him into "mama’s boy."

But towering at six feet tall, Fidel says even though he was young then, he still remembers every single detail of what they went through.

"My mum is an Iron Lady because she kept us united but most of all we got our strength from prayers and close relatives," he recalls.

Fidel says Jaramogi, whom he was very fond of, played a big role in their lives by visiting them regularly and encouraging the young family.

So, how has his life changed since his father became Prime Minister?

Shrinking private space

Fidel says people recognise him in the streets, which means his private space is shrinking, curtailing his movement.

"I don’t frequent the places I used to go to and my movements are not the same. I am under scrutiny round the clock as well," he added.

However, Fidel says the family gets together during weekends when their father is in Nairobi.

Fidel, who studied business management and marketing at South Eastern University in Washington, USA, supplies bitumen products to contractors, while managing the family business —East African Spectre Limited.

Fidel says he has no political ambitions at the moment but does not rule out taking the plunge in the future.

Unlike his sister Rosemary, who was visibly active during the presidential campaigns in the last elections, Fidel was not in the limelight.

"I was there mobilising the youth and I also accompanied my father wherever he went during the campaigns," he says, adding that he is not as outspoken as his sister and mother.

Fidel insists his father was robbed of victory as he won "straight and squarely."

He describes his father as "brutally honest."

"My father is brutally honest in what he does and is also trusting. But if when dealing with you he realises you are lying to him, he gets extremely upset."

Fidel is engaged to Veronica and friends say his "circle of friends has also changed, if not upgraded" to include more mature company.

So, what happened to our newbie “FRiend” abbotn?

I join with Chris Buckley in supporting Obama.

Well, well, well... it's after 1pm ET and you finally rolled outta bed, abbotn.

Just as I suspected, you're a big Obama-supporting newbie (FR sign-on date: 10/17/08). What's your screen name on DU? Daily Kos? What are you doing on FR anyway, troll?

You actually think that Obama went to Kenya "to promote democracy? Yeah, right... I asked for proof of that last night, but I see you haven't provided any.

I wouldn't get your panties all in a wad over Obama's "Odinga" connection. Even though some of us have been trying to get this despicable chapter of Obama's life out into the sunlight, the Obama-friendly media has been ignoring us big time. So you can rejoice in the fact that this story is apparently going nowhere.

Get lost! You've been exposed for the moonbat that you really are.

BOOM

Fidel says he has no political ambitions at the moment but does not rule out taking the plunge in the future.

He would have no problem winning a House seat in Illinois, Vermont, or Massachusetts.
