On Obama's Kenyan cousin: Raila OdingaOct 30th, 2008 - 17:27:24

Obama's cousin is a genocidal islamist thug:

And Obama campaigned for him when he visited Kenya. Obama openly attacked the Kibaki administration in public meetings with Odinga at his side and Obama arranged for Odinga to receive nearly $1 million in campaign contributions from Obama fund-raisers and donors to assist Odinga in his 2007 presidential campaign in Africa.

When Odinga lost by about 200,000 votes there were tribal riots that targeted Kibaki’s constituents and Christians and killed about a thousand in the most brutal ways possible. Obama designated a personal aide as his direct contact for the 2007 Kenyan presidential campaign of Raila Odinga, who later was appointed prime minister after his election loss was followed by widespread, deadly violence that destroyed or damaged many Christian churches.

Barack Obama's 'lost' brother found in Kenya
Senator Barack Obama's long lost brother has been tracked down living in a shanty town in Kenya, reports claimed.


The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.'No-one knows who I am,' he told the magazine, before claiming: 'I live here on less than a dollar a month.'

According to Italy's Vanity Fair his two metre by three metre shack is decorated with football posters of the Italian football giants AC Milan and Inter, as well as a calendar showing exotic beaches of the world.

Vanity Fair also noted that he had a front page newspaper picture of his famous brother - born of the same father as him, Barack Hussein Obama, but to a different mother, named only as Jael. [...]

The Illinois senator mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a 'beautiful boy with a rounded head'.

Of their second meeting, George Obama said: 'It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger.'

Obama's genocidal cousin.Oct 30th, 2008 - 17:42:39


Sen. Barack Obama designated a personal aide as his direct contact for the 2007 Kenyan presidential campaign of Raila Odinga, who later was appointed prime minister after his election loss was followed by widespread, deadly violence that destroyed or damaged 800 Christian churches, according to e-mails...Obama openly campaigned for Odinga during the Illinois Democrat's 2006 Senate 'fact-finding visit' to Kenya.

The e-mails, apparently sent by Obama himself, referenced the senator's aide, Mark Lippert. The e-mails were provided to WND by an insider in Kenya who fled Odinga's Orange Democratic political party and requested anonymity because of the danger of retaliation. Lippert is a long-term Obama Senate staff member identified by the Chicago Sun-Times as a member of Obama's 'inner circle of foreign policy experts.' The Sun-Times has said if Obama is elected president, his secretary of state and national security advisers are expected to come from this inner circle.

The e-mails from Obama's office to Odinga's presidential campaign seem to show Obama and Odinga, who once told the BBC he is Obama's cousin, had discussions about Odinga's 2007 campaign. 'It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers.'...'Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.'

Obama was in telephone communications with Odinga on nearly a daily basis during the Democratic primary in New Hampshire in January.The second e-mail, again from Obama's Senate address to Odinga's e-mail, stated, 'Thanks for contacting me about Mr Lippert through email.

Odinga called for protests over alleged voter fraud after losing the December 2007 general election. The resulting protest violence left an estimated 1,000 members of the dominant Kikuyu tribe in Kenya dead and an estimated 500,000 displaced from their homes.

..Obama and his paternal 1st cousin Odinga, wanted to bring the whole of Kenya under Sharia law. Obama campaigned for Odinga in August of 2006,just before he filed with the US Federal Elections Commission for his presidential candidacy.

The idea was simply to have the Luo tribe, mostly Muslims, to take over Kenya from the inheritors of colonial power, the Kikuyu, and bring the country under Sharia law, kick out the Western investors in the nation that had made it one of the most stable nations in Africa, and supplant those Western investors with wealthy Arab oil money. It all failed. Then Odinga yelled election fraud, and put his Luo Islamofascists into the streets of Nairobi to “protest” by murdering, raping and maiming Kikuyu people, including the recent burning alive of a church full of Christians.

Hope 'N Change.. Kenyan styleOct 30th, 2008 - 17:44:04

In a horrifying incident following the election, at least 50 people, including women and children, were killed when an angry mob forced Kikuyu Christians into an Assemblies of God Pentecostal church and set fire to the church, hacking with machetes any of the Christians who tried to escape the flames.

The violence occurred in the village of Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi. The massacre in the church was part of youth gang violence aimed at harassing the Kikuyu Christian minority, which before the election numbered around 20 percent of Eldoret's 500,000 people.

After the church burning, the vast majority of Eldoret’s Kikuyu Christian minority fled the city, in fear of their lives.
