Kenya investigated Obama 'African birth'
World Net Daily ^ | 05/10/2011 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 05/10/2011 5:36:52 PM PDT by Smokeyblue

Documents obtained by WND indicate the Kenyan government investigated the possibility that President Obama was born in the East African nation.

Two letters purportedly written by Kenya's immigration secretary during the 2008 U.S. presidential election campaign stated that officials in Nairobi could not find evidence Obama was born in Kenya. But the official said the government had "information" that relevant birth records may have been removed or were missing.

Emmanuel Kisombe, the permanent secretary in the Ministry for Immigration and Registration of Persons, wrote a letter in July 2008 in reply to a letter from the U.S. ambassador in Nairobi that raised the possibility with Kenyan officials that Obama was born in their country.

Kisombe wrote another letter on the issue, this time to Kenya's Criminal Investigation Department, a few days before the Nov. 4 presidential election in the U.S.

Kisombe, 56, has been in public service since 1979, according to his bio. He became principal administrative secretary in the Office of the President in 2004 and was appointed permanent secretary for Immigration and Registration of Persons on Dec. 7, 2005.

His Oct. 22, 2008, letter to Simon Karanja Gatiba, director of the Criminal Investigation Department, indicated an investigation into the possibility Obama was born in Kenya was instigated at the level of the Kenyan Cabinet.

Yeah, it is that obvious. Stolen Social Security numbers do go to illegal aliens who need them.

Didn’t Kenya kick out a few investigators trying to interview Zero’ brother?

I would say because it is such an obvious fake.

I missed your comments on the much more obvious fake that your president just recently released.

If Corsi’s Kisombe document is genuine, the fact that the highest levels of the Kenyan government were searching for “removed” Obama BC seems to tie circumstantially to the firing of the three top Kenyan police officers reported by the BBC on Sept. 8, 2009, which I posted on FR just days after Orly filed a copy of an alleged Coast Province General Hospital BC in federal court:

“Kenya sweeps away top-rank police”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2334856/posts

The BBC reporters, at the time in 2009, attempted to guess that the firings were related to the 2007 Kenya election riots, but they couldn't actually say that they knew why the officers were fired.

It is clear from the Kisombe memo that Kenya viewed any such BC as a valuable national security secret which, of course, could be used to blackmail the most powerful man in the world who had access to virtually unlimited funds to make payoffs with. The newly released letter says anyone involved with making the potential Obama BC records disappear should be severely punished, as should, I assume, anyone who, perhaps like the police offiecers, accepted a bribe to release the BC which may have ended up in CA in Sept. 2009!

What is most confusing is why (if we are to assume Obama had the BC all along) he would allow Lt. Col. Terry Lakin to be sentenced to 6 months in prison and end up stripped of his rank and benefits.

What sort of man would allow this miscarriage of justice???

Certainly not the brilliant, compassionate, fair minded constitutional lawyer extraordinaire we read about in the media....

A. He hates the military.

B. He hates white people.

C. Any “documents” he might be able to produce would be found to be forgeries.

It crossed my mind...but no one in their right mind would go to Kenya in 1961 to have a child. Geographically absurd.

Mr & Mrs Obama had a child in Hawaii...that child is on the 1960-64 birth index. But the date of birth wasn’t August 4, 1961, and his mother wasn’t Stanley Ann Dunham...because when Mary baby-sat for ANNA her own child, who was born in July, 1959, was 18 months old.

And that means the child was conceived while Stanley Ann Dunham was still in high school and had never set foot in Hawaii.

Trying to stuff Stanley Ann Dunham into the “mother/wife” box is what really confuses everything. She just won’t fit.

The BC from Kenya must be a forgery then? Why do various Kenyans say he was born there etc?

Some thoughts:

Kenya has such deep tribal factions and corruption that there are many possible interpretations of this letter from Kisombe to Gatiba, depending on which side of the divide each one is on and who knows what is really going on and who doesn't.

Kisombe may be covering his own butt (may have been aligned with those who hid the Obama BC records). Kisombe may have been writing a “I'm shocked, shocked” letter to Gatiba saying that the perps were unknown when they were well known to Kismobe.

Or Kisombe might suspect that the perps who did the deed could be known to Gatiba or suspected by Gatiba and Kisombe could be threatening Gatiba a bit with dire consequences (Kisombe goes on and on about how grave this is) if Gatiba doesn't get the BC documents back (perhaps pull them out from under the bed?).

The last sentence, “My officers have been instructed to fully cooperate as the Kenya Police Criminal Investigation Department performs this task” sounds like bureaucracy-speak for my guys will be looking over your shoulders and expecting to see results!

“Any thoughts as to why Trump would ignore Lucas Smith and his BC?”

Link please, if you have one. How would anyone know what Trump is “ignoring”?

Trump is reported to be listening intently to Farrah and Corsi and appears to have taken many cues from them.

Corsi has dissed the Smith CPGH BC, but his numerous points of criticism were bogus or speculative and not conclusive, according to my research (I have not reached a conclusion on the CPGH BC).

The point at hand is that if Trump is listening to Corsi and Corsi failed to buy into the Smith BC then Trump would stay away from it.

Trump's high-paid hot-shot lawyer can tell him that Smith's BC can only be authenticated by notoriously corrupt Kenyans and will have little credibility if actually entered into evidence in a US federal court (it has not, yet, but only filed...not the same thing) especially if Obama’s HI BC isn't yet denounced by credible forensic analysis.

The date on this letter is about 10 days prior to Chiyome Fukino releasing her first news release claiming she saw that an original birth certificate was on file. Did Obama try to clean up any loose ends in Kenya before they had the HI DOH release that statement??

Or maybe the unmarried couple went to Kenya with the thought that she would give birth and leave the child in Kenya for adoption...but then she had second thoughts???

Right. But while everyone is suffering from the drip drip drip of hundreds of articles about Stanley Ann Dunham, the mother-myth has penetrated the subconscious to such an extent they continue to try and fit the square-peg Stanley Ann into a round mother-hole.

The BC from Kenya must be a forgery then? Why do various Kenyans say he was born there etc?

Because it stops anyone from looking anywhere else...

While the Kenya myth lives, it serves to do nothing more than link zero to the foreign student.

Talk about the dog eating the homework!

At least they were direct about it. Paraphrased - “The documents are missing - We don’t know who, we don’t know when - but they are just missing. And dats dee trooff (apologies to Lily Tomlin). So quit bothering us. “

Odinga took care of his cousin after cousin helped in 2006 - in violation of the Logan Act.

At times you wonder if Obama was with Odinga in the summer of 1982. Up until or around August 1, 1982.....

Unfortunately for this scenario Obama, Sr’s, INS file shows quite clearly that he couldn’t have been in Kenya in August 1961. If he’d gone there the INS wouldn’t have let him back into the country and the Brits would probably have arrested him and certainly have revoked his passport.

The Lucas Smith BC looks nothing like a Kenyan BC. No British Commonwealth BC looks like that. So, yeah, its a forgery. A bad one at that, based on an American hospital souvenir. The Kenyans think he was born Kenyan because of his father. Hey, is Peter O’Toole, the actor, Irish, or a Brit? He’s got BCs from both countries and even he doesn’t know which is right, where, or when, he was born. The Irish say he’s Irish born, the Brits say he’s British and the Scots could say he’s Scottish because his mother was! Same problem, maybe.
