Obama's Kenya family halts media interviews (Police will restrict visitors)

The Kenya family of US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has halted all media engagements until after the US presidential election on November 4.

The move has been taken to give Obama's paternal grandmother, Mama Sarah Onyango Obama a break, according to a family member Mr Said Obama.

In the recent past, a battery of local and international journalists have been visiting the home on a daily basis to seek interviews from the 85-year old granny.

But Mr Said Obama said the family would open up to the media on November 5, a day after the elections.

And on Wednesday, Siaya District police chief Mr Johnston Ipara said security officers would restrict entry to the home to ensure the family privacy is guaranteed

"People who visit the family’s home in K'Ogelo will be restrained from conducting interviews to the family members,” he said

Mr Ipara added the move was taken to ensure that people, especially the media, do not pre-empt the outcome of the US elections by using comments from the family members.

"We do not want Mama Sarah Obama to be disturbed at the moment she needs time to monitor the elections as they unfold," said Ipara.

He said all visitors to the home would be thoroughly screened by the police before being allowed in.

Obamamania

Meanwhile, Obamamania continued to grip Kisumu town and its environs as hawkers cashed in on the craze to sell branded T-shirts, caps and badges.

Dancehalls have also recorded a high number of songs recorded in vernacular languages in praise of the US presidential candidate whose father was Kenyan.

There are some really strange things starting to leak out of Kenya. I saw an extraordinary prayer, verging on a curse really, from a Kenyan Christian woman, just today. She was “binding” the spell that she claimed Obama’s Kenyan grandmother put on American voters, by sacrificing a black chicken and an white chicken. I’ve never seen anything remotely like it before. And, I’ve haunted these “prophetic” sites on the web for years, as a sort of hobby. She took it for granted that everyone understood the hold that the occult has on nearly every non-Christian in Kenya, said that the demonic influence was not nearly so subtle there as it is in America.

I can provide a link if you’re interested.

“Every dedication of Senator Obama that is of a demonic source has no roots and the foundation is destroyed. Antichrist, generational curses through his lineage cannot transfer to this nation. Let every sacrifice done by Obama’s grandmother and any other root worker be counted as dung before the Lord. The black chicken and the white chicken that his grandmother sacrificed to make blacks and whites vote for Obama have no power. We pull the race card out of this election in the spirit. The scales and veils are removed from the eyes of the people. Every form of hypnotism through witchcraft that would cage the minds of the people during this election is BROKEN . All the legs of the octopus and spiders are cute off and the minds of the people are freed from demonic cages. The caging incantations of the witches are bound and blocked. The mouths of the demonic prognosticators in the media are glued SHUT and their snares shall become their own prisons. The truth can be seen and the lies are clear for all to see and hear. Let everything in the dark be brought to light. Let every dark conspiracy and demonic confederacy be over turned by the forces of the Lord and have no power over the truth. Let the kingdom come and the will of God be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Let the vortexes of hell be constipated and no new assignments released against the purposes of God for this election.”

Insomniacs keep FR reasonably busy most of the night, or at least they used to, lol.

It’s more than suitable subject matter to ponder for Halloween.
