Obama's Apocryphal Kenya Trip
American Thinker ^ | January 13, 2014 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 01/13/2014 3:37:04 AM PST by Flotsam_Jetsome

In 1994 or early 1995 the still unknown Barack Obama sent his editor at Times Books, Henry Ferris, the first two-thirds of his memoir Dreams from My Father. He told Ferris that to complete the book, he had to return to Kenya to do some research. The evidence strongly suggests that Obama went not to Kenya to do that research but to the local library to do some borderline plagiarizing.

***break***

There are a few possible explanations for the obvious holes in this account. An unlikely one is that Ferris incorrectly recalled Obama's return trip to Kenya, and Obama compounded this lapse by confirming it in his interview with Maraniss. A second possible explanation, intriguing but also unlikely, is that Obama did make a third trip to Kenya in 1994 or early 1995 and chose not to reveal it beyond his inner circle.

A third possibility, and the most likely, is that Obama lied to Ferris about making a return trip to Kenya, possibly to show how serious he was about writing the book and getting his facts straight. Instead of going to Africa, Obama -- or his writing partner -- may have contented himself with going to the local library and pillaging the memoirs of longtime Kenya resident Kuki Gallmann. This is the thesis proposed by Shawn Glasco, a tireless researcher into all things Obama. Obama's evasions about his Kenya research trip make Glasco's theory all the more credible.

If a (p)resident lies, cheats, steals, and commits impeachable offenses, and the manestreem meedeeuh refuses to report it, do the humanoids in The Matrix give a crap?

I do think that there is a limit to how much bs he can get away with before the dam breaks, but his possession of melanin-and-Teflon-infused armor means that the bar for such a limit is breathtakingly high.

Given that there are still three loooong years to go in the second "Obama" "term," there is ample opportunity for many, many more good citizens of the Republic to "take the red pill" and realize that this guy's sh*t is, in fact, NOT beluga caviar.

Perhaps I'm naively optimistic, but I still believe that the con this guy and his handlers have concocted is going to implode spectacularly before all is said and done.

Some research was necessary because, while Bill Ayers had been around the world as a merchant seaman, he never been to Kenya.

Obama did not make that trip to Kenya because he didn’t write the book. Bill Ayers is suspected as being the real author, and I doubt that he went to Kenya to do any fact finding while writing “Dreams”.

I read somewhere that in Spielberg's film, "Lincoln," there was a line in the movie meant to mock Cashill, which alluded to the William Ayers Nautical reference tie-ins to Dreams From My Father.

It is compelling that Obama's final act of treachery against this country may be in his revelation as a fraud. It's one thing for half of the country to know you're a fraud; imagine the outcry when the other half figures it out, and the office of the presidency is forever suspect. It's the reason Nixon resigned.

God help us.

But Chris Christie may have known about the unnecessary closing of a lane of traffic on a bridge. Lets focus on what really matters here.

The Dems and O s fraud in the birth certificate department may be even more sinister than just Kenya and the recent plane crash killing a Hawaii Health Official.

Google “Obama and Malcolm X” and look at the pics, and info supporting Joanne Newman a.k.a Elizabeth Duke (FBI fugitive), who recently had her FBI profile removed and her charges dropped, a former member of Bill Ayers Weather
Underground terrorist group. She is claimed to be Malcolm’s gf and O s mother.

Add to that Bari Shabazz living in Hawaii at time of disappearance strangely had his warrant erased by unknown officials over 20+ years later, and the fact no death certificate was ever issed makes that even more circumspeck as to why bother? He has never been found. Bari Shabazz is son of Malcolm X two years older than O, or is he O?

Google it, and you will see such a perfect match physically that it boggles the mind, it explains how Ann Dunham showed up at Washington State College 2 weeks after O was born, with no black child in tow, and never mentioned him. The plot thickens.... All of it may be a puzzle that just has not been fully put together, yet! There is some relevance to Malcolm X having known Obama Sr....??

His research work on Dreams of My Father and his conclusion -- Ayers wrote it -- are pretty convincing.

Please do not attack the messenger here to point out the O and Malcolm X pics. Of course there are good points on both sides of the argument to the birth certificate...I have no idea, but the PICS are an amazing likeness!

Maybe O never went to Kenya in the first claim because his half brother said he lied about meeting him. However he did go to help Odinga campaign as FR had the pics on that during or before his 2008 campaign?

Can’t say one way or the other whether or not Obama is actually the son of Malcolm X... but as someone who’s hung out with leftists for much of my adult life, this little fact would be enough to send them into ecstatic devotionals. It’s a natural way to attract the marginally aware voter. Many people who have read Haley’s misnamed “Autobiography of Malcolm X” would immediately vote for the guy. For that reason alone, I’m going with the wacky intellectual mom and the cavalier drunk Kenyan dad.

Sorry for the late reply, but while I thank you for your optimism, (and the melanin-and-Teflon-infused armor article) I think this could be locked down for him permanently before the election in Nov. As in crisis--and their reaction to it. Purchase some potassium iodate and as many rounds as you--well, you know the deal...

Thanks for the reply, and no problem at all on the delay.

"Purchase some potassium iodate and as many rounds as you--well, you know the deal..."

I pray that you're wrong, but I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't considered the possibility of a major CBR (Chemical, Biological or Radiological) event going down if the heat gets turned up too high on this guy.

God help us.
