Though overshadowed by hubby Bill’s rescue mission to Pyongyang, Hillary Clinton is in Africa speaking some useful truths. The Secretary of State’s seven-country jaunt began yesterday in Kenya, where she took aim at political corruption and graft.
A disputed 2007 election resulted in a power sharing deal between President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, but not before related violence claimed more than 1,000 lives.
“The absence of strong, effective democratic institutions has permitted ongoing corruption, impunity, politically motivated violence, human-rights abuses and a lack of respect for the rule of law,” Mrs. Clinton said at a press conference.
“These conditions helped fuel the post-election violence and they are continuing to hold Kenya back.” According to Transparency International, a bribe is expected or solicited in nearly half of all transactions in Kenya, which is high even by New Jersey standards.

~~PING!
Couple this with Bill’s trip to North Korea: it is very odd indeed.
Hillary has no reason to be there..... other than get some facts and some dirt.
With regard to the corruption? Its a tried and proven approach that is traditional African culture. African cultures are the oldest on the planet , thus they have proven means to support their civilizations.
Who is she to force the whitemans way on age old tradition???
Hillary is a self serving politician. If she goes to Kenya regarding the birth cert., she definitely will not be destroying them. They will join her library of FBI files.
Hillary would grab them for her war chest....

Obama and his Kenya Escapade, A Violation of his Senate Oath and Likely Criminal
Reader comment on item: Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam
Submitted by Candor Seven (United States), Jan 16, 2008 at 16:11
Having been in Kenya, I can say that the country has benefited, because of it’s stability, by a large influx of “European Capital.” , in banking, agriculture and the tourist industry. This has been a carrot on the stick for Kenya’s government to maintain stability, and to that end it has evolved a decent army, which has prevented the infiltration of communist style liberals, who want “power to the people” which in africa, means poverty and violent inter-tribal struggle and the emergence of tribal war lords.
Most of the original Euro capital in Kenya was British but later diversified to South Africans, Rhodesians, Germans, Dutch, Scandanavian, Israeli and British commonwealth investment.
As the Arab nations accumulated vast amounts of capital, they eyed Kenya’s Israeli investers who had invested billions of dollars in resorts which are situated on the Inidian Ocean coast between Mombassa and Lamu on the Somalian border. The Jewish presence ticked the Arabs wholesale. Islamofascists went in and attempted to RPG an Isreali airliner a few years ago, killing some Kenyan staff simultaneously in a resort in the Kikambala area.
The ex pat investors circled the wagons to keep the Islamofascists out of Kenya, as they attempted incursions into the Mombassa area. This was successful with the help of Kenya’s army. The Muslim council of Kenya and Somalia then decided to support takeover from within Kenya, by financing Odinga, and helping his campaign with infusions of mega bucks. Enter our relative, Obama, to assist.
The idea is to bring in sharia law for the whole of Kenya in order to shut down the Israeli resorts and to nationalize capital assets owned by foreigners, selling them to wealthy Arabs. The resorts now owned by the Israelis will become Arab pleasure palaces ( with the usual array of Muslim slave women from Indonesia, Russia, Palestine etc.), and those Kenyans now working there will become Muslims and enter into the traditional master/slave relationship that has always existed between Arabs and Africans, with some prominant Kenyans as the slave drivers, like Odinga.
Sharia law prevents alcohol, bikinis, and beach bongos. No more tourism. The Israelis will have to sell out to wealthy Arabs, and also risk being bombed and shot otherwise. Kenya will then enter the black hole other African nations have, and lapse into a religious oligarchy and become like Somalia.
The expat investment community in Kenya is in distress. They are on the verge of hiring large groups of mercenaries to defend their property and supplement the Kenyan Army. The Arabs are prepared to fund the Luo and supply then with weaponry so they can usurp power through guerilla warfare, with help from the Sudan and Somalia.Al Qaeda will likely get in on the act.
Obama knows all this, and he chose the side of economic and social devolution. Thats why Obama is not fit to be president of the United States. His close ties with his family and many visits, have made it highly unlikely that he was “unaware “ of the dynamic. He is just too intelligent, and too black nationalist to have been duped by Odinga.
So the plan is to bring Kenya into an axis with adjacent Somalia and Sudan, and then Egypt will fall to Islamofascism. Eventually the Arab oil supply nations will be encircled. Thats the plan. Unseat the House of Saud, and recapture Mecca and the Oil Fields for the World Caliphate.
Odinga needs to be brought to justice. He and his Islamofascists need to be tried, and executed according to Kenyan Law for the genocide they have committed. Obama is an International criminal for aiding and abetting this Islamofascist movement, and the Kenyan government should issue a warrant for his arrest. Burning a church full of women and children is simply the beginning you see, for guerilla warfare by the Luo is the next step in the usual Islamofascist evolution.The Luo are a distinct tribal minority, and seek to impose their will on a majority who want nothing to do with their scheme.
Unless Odinga and his henchmen are captured, tried and punished, this will go on for decades, and ruin a perfectly good country. Obama needs to be brought to a very short leash, and should resign his candidacy and his Senate Seat. Then he should be deported to Kenya to allow the Kenyan authorities to deal with him. I am sure he would be an excellent source of information to them.
These truths will never likely be addressed by the US MSM. Obama is their media darling, and thats part of the Obama plan. He can snub his nose at justice, because he is so popular. And if he plays his cards into the presidency, or a vice presidential office, he can help Odinga negotiate and consolidate his power in Kenya.Obama will do the same for other little jumped up African tyrants through supplying “ Hope and Change” aid to such idiots, and to Islamofascist organizations, without traducing current law on funding terrorist groups. Soon the US government will be funding terrorist groups. For this reason Obama needs to be stopped now.He is a stone cold Islamofascist.
Hillary blasting corruption is like McDonalds ripping on hamburgers.
Political corruption and graft is something she knows all about.
Rut Ro...
Here we go loop de loop.
Look out zero. 0ver and done. Stick a fork in him. The clintons are moving. All both of them.
Backroom war. o is trying to get rid of Greg Craig, clinton liason. If Rahm had wanted healthcare passed, it would have been passed. o is trying to knock off the clintons by exerting his own inept thug tactics. FAIL
He has lost his usefulness.
I have a feeling something fishy is going on with the Hillary visit, concerning Odinga, and it is not good for the Kenyan president.
how can America tolerate this administration any longer
Obama supports Odinga, yet Odinga is Al Qaeda backed
Who is Obama ?
And the marxist, Chicago community organizer,
with NO sense of right and wrong or good and
evil, willingly walks into that hellhole to
support Odinga.
END THIS MADNESS!
Brilliant logic there (above) ol boy.
The Kenyan government is about to start leaking like a sieve. The next thing coming is MORE emphasis on obama’s white roots. Less than black...trying to “act” white”...from the usual suspects, clinton allies, (which includes a ranking black Georgia congressman that obama threatened for wanting to endorse hillary, The Honorable John Lewis.)
He has given them plenty of ammo, including his choice of where to spend his lily white vacation. Watch.
Secretary of Sate: two for one. The Clintons come as a package, even if no one can show that they have been in the same house together in a year.
Tuesday, December 05, 2006 MOHAMED ABDI(WALI)..AN ASPIRING MANDERA EAST MP Ex-Marine Mohamed Abdi (left) with US Senator Barrack Obama is slated to kick-off his bid to become a member of Kenyan parliament Minneapolis, MN (HOL) -
Ex-Marine Mohamed Abdi focused on Congressman-elect(Minnesota, USA) Keith Ellison’s campaign for the past several months, all the while making important national and international connections for his own bid to the Kenyan parliament.
Ellison is paying back the favor.
He was a keynote speaker at a fundraising event on Saturday, where dozens of Abdi’s friends in the Marines and others from around the world pledged to support him financially and morally.
In the words of one attendee, it was a “mini United Nations gathering in Minneapolis for the sake of a man who vies to represent Mandera East,” a small town in the porous border between Somalia and Kenya, in the elite-dominated Kenyan parliament.
Abdi, who moved to the U.S in 1995, resembles the United Nations in many ways.
He grew up in the Somali-inhabited Northeastern region (NFD) in Kenya.He’s fluently multilingual in English, Swahili and Somali. He’s a dual U.S and Kenyan citizen, who can probably easily obtain a Somali citizenship...
------------
Note the date, 2006. The candidate didn't win the seat.
However, on the news tonight, Mandera East was brought up as the region most endangering Kenya from Somali muslim extremists, who live on both sides of the Somali/Kenyan border. Military brass commented in no uncertain terms as to how they planned to protect Kenya from infiltration, they fear for the nation...
Obama's support of Raila Odinga who reportedly signed an agreement with muslims to institute sharia law - and the financial support for ODM by 'friends of Senator BO' (even though Raila Odinga was given the position of Prime Minister to halt the riots) doesn't mean he's going to live a charmed life in Kenya forever:
Keep your eye on Kenya. Something's up.
see #21. Something’s going on in Kenya. Keep watchful.
Thank you for that excellent summary. Bookmarked.
Thanks Fred for your expert analysis. Dad’s morning read.
I don't know yet whether at Obama's request (he's clearly in over his childish little head), or to figure out how to supplant Obama and re-seize power themselves...(e.g. two more Clinton terms in the White House, this time with Hillary as President; and then it'd be time for Chelsea to run.)
Cheers!
I guess we know where Obama got his campaign slogans.
I think that was sarcasm.
Yes, this has a whiff of intrigue about it, doesn't it.
More than a whiff, actually. Can't trust Obama, Hillary, Bill, or Al. Or Kim.
Those two "journalists" -- poor things were probably mere pawns. And nobody just walks into North Korea and hauls away two political prisoners.
It was geopolitical theatre, plain and simple.
Since that was my very first thought when I heard she went, maybe it isn’t such a joke after all. Slick’s jaunt to Korea was perfect cover for whatever nefarious stuff she is up to. Why Kenya? Why now?
Hey Hildabeaste, have you been able to find and burn nobama’s Kenyan birth certificate?
Hey Hillary, while in Kenya visit Obama Birth place for a photo op. You might need it in your next run for the White House. How long will you stick with this clown before you are tarred with his brush of corruption?

In other news, her husband will be traveling to Bangkok to launch a worldwide campaign against extramarital sexual relations.
I was being generous.
By them selves, they have not developed any civilization.
Their feudal systems will not allow it. Ideas, influence.... sorry , you cannot be more powerful than a chief who got his chiefdom by successive patrilineage inheritance.I believe that to be the single largest contributor to their backwards state. Hand in hand with the voo-doo, Islam has gotten married to the tribal practices. Thus the people are suppresse and oppressed by their system and Islam. They don’t have to blame whitey. Shit! Look to Zimbabwe as an example of Africans in action!
Could very well be the case.
Well, re. corruption, Obama sure sent an expert on in in sending Clinton.
The biggest question is, is Clinton’s objection to it, due to not getting a piece of their pie? Travelled all that way and Clinton didn’t get a payoff?
“The absence of strong, effective democratic institutions has permitted ongoing corruption, impunity, politically motivated violence, human-rights abuses and a lack of respect for the rule of law,” Mrs. Clinton said at a press conference”
Was Clinton referring to other countries as well, or just the USA?
Well, railing at corruption in Africa without naming names is, of course, meaningless.
Who is she talking about, Thabo Mbeki or Railla Odinga? After all, Obama supported Odinga not only because he was his cousin, but because all the leftist presstitutes were saying that Mbeki and his Kikiyus were corrupt dictators and that it was time for a change—namely, Odinga.
Which of the two does Hillary herself resemble more closely? I’d say she and Odinga have a lot in common.
So, did she make a stop in Mombasa??? Inquiring minds want to know!
Thats because the Birthers have managed to exert that much pressure.
O did NOT expect this much resistance to either him or his push to institute Socialism!
