Obama and the Mau Mau
By Joy Tiz Sunday, March 22, 2009 Yet again, it seems that Barack Obama is acting out his pathology at our expense. His appalling treatment of British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, could be written off as another example of this administration’s incompetence. But, it also looks as if Obama also has his own ax to grind with the Brits and lacks the emotional maturity to deal with it like a grown up.
Phase one of Operation Ally Alienation was the belligerent act of rejecting Downing Street’s offer to allow the new president to keep the bust of Winston Churchill that had been given to former president Bush after 9/11 in a gesture of solidarity and support.
After snubbing the prime minster of America’s staunchest ally by cancelling a joint news conference in the Rose Garden, the Obamas took their boorishness to the next level during the traditional world leader gift exchange.
Prime Minister Brown presented the new Oval Office occupant with gifts reflecting considerable forethought. Brown gave Obama a pen holder made of oak timber from the HMS Gannet, a Royal Navy ship that served on anti-slavery missions off Africa.
The Prime Minister also gave ingrate Obama the framed commissioning paper for the HMS Resolute, another Royal Navy ship. The ship had been rescued from icebergs by the US and was offered as a symbol of the goodwill between our two nations.
Rounding out the collection of treasures was the 1st edition of Martin Gilbert’s seven volume biography of Winston Churchill; another symbolic gift representing the alliance of the United States and Britain during WWII.

Canada Free Press has become notable for some ridiculous nonsense over the years - but this one is a bit more “notable” than usual.
The part on Obama’s grandfather was involved in is chilling. Makes you ask again: what kind of person did we actually elect?
There is also no question that if Hussein was arrested for subversive activities, he was up to something more than just being a good community organizer. He certainly would have been subject to some enhanced interrogation.
The left wants to paint the Mau Mau as yet another misunderstood group of oppressed victims. The truth is, the Mau Maus were vicious guerrilla fighters. Contrary to popular folklore, the Mau Mau slaughtered far more Kikuyu citizens than the whites they were supposedly rebelling against.
Mau Mau membership required taking an oath which was not exactly frat boy material. The colonial secretary, Oliver Lyttleton wrote:
“The Mau Mau oath is the most bestial, filthy and nauseating incantation which perverted minds can ever have brewed. I have never felt the forces of evil to be so near and as strong as in Mau Mau. As I wrote memoranda or instruction, I would suddenly see a shadow fall across the page-the horned shadow of the Devil himself.” (Source)
Little information is available as to the specific language of individual oaths, but we know that the process was taken seriously and had more elements of magic than politics. Kikuyu were under tremendous pressure to take the oath and join the movement.
Counter insurgency expert, Major Frank Kitson describes a Mau Mau body snatching raid:
“The gang, frenzied by the thought of blood, slashed around with their simis (a Kikuyu sword) and fired their guns. One old man, slower than the rest, was caught and hamstrung. He fell at the feet of his pursuers, covering his face with his arms to protect it from the slicing swords, but a mouse in a mechanical mincing machine would have had a better chance of survival. One terrorist hacked off a foot, and another sliced off his testicles to use later in an Oathing ceremony. A third gouged out his eyes with a staple and put them in his pocket for the same purpose. When they had finished, most of the gang came by to cut and stab the twitching corpse. They then licked the blood off their simis and moved off into the night, having first set fire to all the huts they could see.” (Source)
Other writers claim the oath was far more innocuous. However, a 322 page report by Career Colonial Administrator, Frank D. Cornfield supports the seamier version:
“By compelling Mau Mau members to violate not only Christian ethics but every tribal one as well, Mau Mau leaders deliberately reduced their victims to a state where a man who took the Mau Mau oath was cut off ‘from all hope, outside Mau Mau, in this world or the next. Cornfield found that to achieve this absolute loyalty to the movement, ‘ . . . leadership forced its recruits, voluntary or involuntary, to seal their oaths by digging up corpses and eating their putrefied flesh, copulating with sheep, dogs or adolescent girls, and by drinking the famed ‘Kaberichia cocktail’-a mixture of semen and menstrual blood.” (Source)
Sounds like an earnest group of freedom fighters, right? Again corroborating that Barack Obama has never known a normal person, his grandfather’s support for the Mau Mau was sufficient to get himself arrested. The struggle for independence from the Brits may have been a noble one, but not justification for the kind of depravity indulged by the Mau Mau. Longtime nationalist leader and Mau Mau manager, Jomo Kenyatta studied economics in Moscow in 1932. We are not supposed to make too much of that.
Obama has a grudge against the Brits for their abuse of his grandfather, a subversive who supported a bunch of ferocious guerillas. And as always with Obama, rather than deal with his own inner demons, he uses his position of power to act out. Another campaign promise kept: Obama is most assuredly changing the world’s view of America. Perhaps Obama is saving up all the really cool gifts for Ahmedinejad.
It’s the whole Kenya-colonial era thing
A Kenyan would take this quite personally
bump! Just another "brick in the wall" of evidence that he's not a natural born citizen.
I think what we’re supposed to believe is that the blood-thirsty behavior of the Kenyans is a result of the evils of colonialism. However, it’s worth wondering how Kenyans behaved prior to colonialism. It might have been much the same. I mean, cutting off a man’s testicles to use in an “oathing ceremony” isn’t something they picked up from Queen Victoria ...
The Zero wrote a whole book about “race” of course it is his greatest mental pathology.
“Nice” branch in Obama’s family tree! There’s a reason for the qualifiers for US President in the Constiturion. The purpose was to prevent loyalty or allegiance to another country, their rulers, or their citizens. Seems Obama may have some issues in that area.
IMHO it’s about doing Kennedy’s dirty work.
The HMS Gannett was put into service against Slave ships that were raiding Kenya.
Care to share your evidence that this story is ‘out there”?
Welcome to FR.
Clearly Obama has been humiliating British politicians since his election. And now he snubs the Queen on D-Day? She, at least, served in the military during that war. He would have been "community organizing" had he been alive at the time.
Going on and on about the Mau-Maus ?
Snubbing the Queen on D Day (next week) ?
How would one “humiliate” a British politician ? Refer to his bad teeth ?? Say something unkind about tea ??
Please explain how Elizabeth “served in the military” during WWII , by the way . Strikes me she was a mite young for that !!!
Sorry - but you owe more than this tripe as rebuttal to your inability to specify why this article is incorrect. I suspect you are a troll, and not a talented one.
She joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service, as No. 230873 Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor. She trained as a driver and mechanic, drove a military truck, and rose to the rank of Junior Commander.[22] She is, at present, "the only living head of state who served in uniform during World War II".
