The Kenyan official who reportedly orchestrated the detention of WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi when he visited Kenya to investigate President-elect Barack Obama's close ties to the nation's prime minister, Raila Odinga, was Odinga himself, according to WND sources inside Kenya. Corsi, whose recent book, "The Obama Nation," raised questions about the Democrat when he was a candidate for president, had scheduled a news conference in Nairobi to discuss his discoveries during his visit this fall.

Corsi on road to recovery after major back surgery erome Corsi, senior investigative reporter for WND and author of "The Obama Nation," which raised some of the original questions about President-elect Barack Obama's birthplace, is recovering from back surgery and soon will return to the trail of information apparently concealed by the Democrat's campaign. Corsi confirmed today the success of his surgery to address an apparently inherited condition aggravated seriously by his detention by Kenyan authorities in October while he was investigating Obama's ties in the African nation. "I am now able to walk, go up and down stairs," Corsi...

The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others. The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution. WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to...

NEW YORK – Birthplace, religion, black liberation theology, passport, Pakistan, school expenses and records, house deal, friends, mentors and clients. These are among the questions that despite months of campaigning for the presidency of the United States, thousands of hours in front of reporters and cameras, and hundreds of members of a massive campaign staff, the public still doesn't have fully answered about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Just four years ago, Obama essentially was an unknown state legislator who with the help of the Chicago political system took over a seat in the U.S. Senate. He stated then he was...

An anti-war, pro-Obama individual or group masquerading as a McCain organization is e-mailing dozens of journalists, radio talk shows and U.S. senators, complaining to them – as McCain campaign "staffers" – that WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi is "a wacko" for investigating the legitimacy of Barack Obama's birth certificate. A quick examination of the "McCain" website leave little doubt it is virulently anti-McCain. But journalists, talkers and producers receiving e-mails from the address "staff@electjohnmccain2008.com" could easily think they were hearing from supporters of the Republican presidential candidate.

HONOLULU, Hawaii – Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation – and even several lawsuits – WND has learned that Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal, and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.

Listen to the podcast of Dr.Corsi on Bill Cunningham's; talk program on 700 WLW radio in Cincinnati. Jerome is heading for Hawaii.

I am thrilled that the ad I have dreamed for is here! Wish it's a bit longer, but pretty clear! It calls Ordinga a communist and show the 2 campaigning together in Kenya! It shows Christians being killed there. Many on this blog have asked in my earlier threads who should we donate money to to fund these ads. Here's one, they made this bold ad, call it like it is! I will send my check, sidifgnated towards Ordinga ad. They plan to run this in battleground States. http://www.freedomsdefensefund.com/contact_us.html Click on link "contribution"

With now the issue of Obama's birth certificate heating up in Hawaii http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2110770/posts just what has happened to Corsi and all the info he was supposed to have downloaded to the American Public?

A controversial Kenyan leader for whom Sen. Barack Obama not only campaigned, but raised almost $1 million during the run-up to that nation's 2007 presidential election, had concluded a written agreement with Muslim leaders stipulating that, if they delivered him the Muslim vote, he would in turn, once elected, convert Kenya into an Islamic state governed by Shariah law, protect terrorists from prosecution, and effectively ban Christianity.

WND is publishing for the first time the prepared opening statement by Jerome Corsi for the scheduled Oct. 7 press conference in Nairobi that was shut down when he was detained by Kenyan military and immigration authorities. As Corsi developed the text the previous day, he shared it with key government officials and accepted suggestions for changes. The only governmental factions Corsi was unable to interview in Kenya were Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Orange Democratic Movement party members still remaining loyal to him. Corsi said the office of Kenyan President Kibaki and Vice President Kolonzo were fully informed of...

The author of a best-selling book on Barack Obama says he didn't know what was going to happen to him during a frightening 13-hour detention in Kenya. As it turns out, the story has a connection to the Democratic presidential candidate. Dr. Jerome Corsi's latest book is The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality -- which at one point occupied the top spot of the New York Times best-seller list. The author says he traveled to Kenya to investigate Senator Obama's relationship with radical Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Corsi says just before he was ready to...

What happened to the bombshell report and documents that Corsi was to bring back from Kenya this past weekend? Corsi was originally scheduled to be on Hannity and Colmes this past Monday night but prior to their show; Corsi mysteriously disappeared without futher mention.

Michelle Obama placed a surprise call to an African news agency to protest its coverage of WND investigative stories about her husband – characterizing the source of the material as "racist" and Jerome Corsi as "evil." The call was placed to African Press International, according to a report in the publication today. It said Michelle Obama accused API of "colluding with American Internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband." The report said Mrs. Obama had hoped the African media "was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans...

NEW YORK –Sen. Barack Obama, with a donation of nearly $1 million, and a son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi were among the biggest contributors to the presidential campaign of controversial Kenyan leader Raila Odinga, according to an internal document obtained by WND.

Among the 72 individuals and organizations that contributed money to Odinga's 2007 presidential run in Kenya, Shabbir lists "Friends of Senator B.O." as having donated...

Jerome Corsi, WND senior staff reporter and editor of Red Alert, has fallen ill after he was forced to endure detention at the hands of armed Kenyan immigration authorities. WND founder and editor Joseph Farah said Corsi has arrived at his home in the United States and is now under care of a physician because he is very sick.

EDITOR—Deported anti-Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama author Jerome Corsi is a KKK agent, whose mission in Nairobi was to use Kenyan poverty for propaganda to promote John McCain’s smear campaign against his White House rival. Before Corsi was arrested and deported on October 7, he had handed a cheque of $1,000 to impoverished slum-dweller George Obama to portray Senator Obama as lacking compassion even for his own family members languishing in shocking slum poverty in Kibaki’s Kenya. What the racist anti-Obama bandwagon has refused to acknowledge is his stated position on African poverty.

Friday, October 10 Hour 1: Jerome R. Corsi: WorldNetDaily.com Senior Staff Writer and author of "The Obama Nation"

ARE WE SUPPOSED TO cheer the fact that the Government threw out the anti-Obama author, Jerome Corsi? Boo to the person who made that decision. Whoever you are, you have proved once again that this country is the bedrock of intolerance. The book is a hatchet job, by most accounts. Corsi probably knows it, hence his attempt to sneak up to us with it. But that is no reason to hound the man out of town. The Big Brother mentality went out of the window ages ago. You could simply have asked him to apply for the right visa and...

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 obtained by WND senior staff writer Jerry Corsi during a trip to Kenya. snip . . .

LONDON – Bribes totaling thousands of dollars were paid to facilitate WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi's departure from Kenya after immigration authorities there detained him and his publicist – holding them under armed guard and without food – to prevent Corsi from holding a news conference revealing what he had discovered about Barack Obama's controversial ties in the African nation. Confirmation of the payments comes just as a report from Kenya Broadcasting Corp. admitted it was politics, not the contrived paperwork reason, for which Corsi was detained. According to copies of e-mails obtained by WND, a resident of Kenya...

Someone didn’t want Jerry to talk at his press conference in Kenya. Suddenly authorities armed with automatic weapons showed up and seized Jerry and his associate’s passports. They were detained for hours without food or water. After endless hours of stalling and lies they were put on their plane and told to never come back. http://www.usaradio.com/listen_live_usa2.php

Jerome Corsi, author of the anti-Obama book titled The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality was deported back to America not because of a hitch in his travel documents as reported earlier but due to the nature of his mission in the country. According to Foreign affairs minister Moses Wetangula, Corsi displayed inconsistent conduct with the expected norms of good behaviour in the country. Corsi was on Tuesday night deported back to America after he attempted to launch the book blasting White House hopeful Barrack Obama at a Nairobi hotel. The initial explanation offered by the authorities...

I hesitate to call this a bombshell, but I do think it is a BOMBSHELL. Corsi has copies of emails between Obama and Odinga, as well as a Obama campaign strategy document. Obama condones the violence and the approach used.

If the Odinga connection (with over 50 people dead,some burned alive after the election) that Obama supported doesn't interest people, nothing will. Sean has pushed the Rezko, Wright and Ayers stories into the mainstream and hopefully this one will be the tipping point (if McCain ever mentions it).

Who will go? If WND and Dr. Jerome Corsi are game lets get back in Kenya and rile them. Kenyan punks. Freepers have the cash, now who has the guts? If someone will volunteer I will kick in and also help raise some money. I love International incidents, especially when its for the right reason. How much could it cost? Its only $1,842.00 round trip through Orbitz. BTW shouldn’t someone be shadowing William Ayers and keeping the camera on him 24/7?

Jerome Corsi's brush with the Kenyan authorities is a gift to the Republican campaign and those who disseminate its talking points.
